Desire doesn't charge from usb when turned on

EDIT: ISSUE SOLVED, it appeared that my non-working camera was eating the battery like crazy, so I just isolated it from the pins with a little bit of scotch tape Now battery drain is normal.
Hello Guys,
Something strange started happening recently. When my desire is turned on, it won't charge from USB. The led light turns red, it looks like it's charging, the back gets VERY hot, but the phone doesn't really charge, in fact for a few hours it actually loses a few %.
If I turn it off, it charges well from both USB and wall socket. I still didn't try charging it from wall socket when turned on. Also, whenever I'd use it it would get very hot (even hotter than in the past)
The bad thing is that I did too many things to my desire at the same time and it's not easy to determine the real issue:
1. Flashed Leedroid GB rom
2. Opened the phone ~3 times in order to try to fix the camera and once to replace the earpiece (it was blown out).
3. Started using a cheap $2 ebay wall socket battery charger as I have 2 batteries.
I noticed the dialer app is eating quite some power, it's the second greediest right after the display in battery info. Also, the phone started draining the battery even faster then usual - for about 5 hours with moderate use (1 hour of reading and playing games) it's down to 30%. So, I am wondering - should I revert to an older rom (Android 2.2) or try something else?
Thanks for any kind of suggestions

i have exactly the same problem. Im using InsertCoin rom + is unlocked with an app from xda for using all networks

Ok, a short update - I managed to charge it while turned on with the wall socket charger. Meantime I also reverted to leedroid 2.5 final (android 2.2) and it didn't fix the problrem. I also calibrated the battery with the app " battery calibration " from the market, but this didn't help - for about an hour of save its now under 60%. And the phone is very hot in its lower back part. Seems the CPU is working quite a lot, which i have o idea why it does...

Hmmm im not sure what u mean. Anyway, the issue appeared to be my camera which wasnt eorking but still eating a lot of battery, probably due to a a short cirquit. Thats why my phpne waznt charging - having it turned on was ating more battery than getting via the charger...

[Q] Phone Won't charge.

Hi there,
I stored my phone for little longer than a month, when i decided to charge it and use it, it didn't charge (plugged to charger for one hour but no orange LED).
while searching with google someone was having same problem, he solved his by plugging the charger first then inserting the battery.
when i plug the charger without the battery in, the phone blinks orange and green,
if i plug the battery when its blinking, it starts charging (orange LED), left it that way till its green (took couple of hours).... but the bad news is, it still doesn't turn ON.
Any idea whats the problem is??

Possibly your phone think the battery is still empty after loading at charger.
Try to boot into recovery, when the charger is plugged in, load until the led is green, and then wipe battery stats. I think it's worth a try.

Could be your battery is dead if you stored the phone for over a month without first charging it. Do you know anyone with the same working battery? Might be worth asking to borrow it and see if works with your phone.

I had this same problem with my Nokia C1-01. I left it to charge overnight, in the morning I pulled out the charger and put it back in again and it started charging.
Maybe this will help you!

[Q] Dead Desire HD?

Hi all,
So I've had my Desire HD since launch and it's been doing me great! However last night I plugged it in for it's routinely charge and wake up this morning and it is dead.
Here is the thing,
I know the USB charge is loose and needs to fiddle with it before it charges sometimes (phone sleeps on the bed next to me so could have knocked it in my sleep stopping it from charging)
The phone was working this morning at around 9am, because my alarm goes off then, but I turned off my alarm and went back to sleep and woke up later to a unresponsive phone
The phone is not using the HTC charger, just a USB cable that is plugged into a USB wall outlet adapter. The phone picks this up as a USB charger rather than a A/C charger (which I know means a slower charge)
So after all this, is there a way to see if my phone is genuinely dead or if the battery is just completely flat?

When you plug it into the charger the LED should come on; orange if the battery is below 90% and green if the battery is 90% or above.
Does this happen when you try to charge your phone? If it does leave it that way in a place where the phone or cable can't get bumped or moved and let it charge for a few hours and see if the LED changes to green.

So I do not get any LED lights coming up on the charge indicator at all. I've left it for a few days now plugged in trying different chargers as well.
I would assume in this case, the phone is dead?

Maybe try a different cable/charger

Or maybe check if you placed your battery with the metal contacts together and not the other way. Or try a new battery. Could be a faulty battery too

[Q] One X not charging properly

Hello guys, and thanks for reading this.
Today, I got my HOX from a brothers' firend who's been using it for a year and a half. The device is in almost perfect shape, and he's been using it since last week or so. He reseted it to factory settings and left it in a drawer where it "died". Let's start with a timeline of all the **** I've been through with this mobile just today:
1. I got it with battery level fully depleted, wouldn't even turn on. Put it on it's original charger in the wall socket, left it there for like 10 minutes. Turned it on - it turned off after 3 minutes of "work" while still plugged in the wall socket. (Wasn't getting nearly enough juice?) We then tried charging it again, but all we got was blinking red LED or no LED indication at all.
2. Left it plugged in the wall socket for like 1.5h, after which the red LED stayed on - not blinking. Tried to turn it on, it worked, the battery was at like 50%. Removed it from charging (stupid probably, I know). It's a new phone so I went to proceed downloading my apps and logging into all of my social accounts. No problems. Even listened to music for about half an hour to test out the speaker.
3. When the battery got down to like 15% I again plugged it into a wall socket. Everything seemed fine, the red LED was on and the battery indicator on the screen was "moving" from right to left, meaning it's charging. But it was not - soon the battery was at 5%. I left the phone alone charging and after 30 minutes it was even more depleted, on 2%. Turned it off, left it to charge for 1h. Came back, turned it on - still at 2%.
4. Thought about doing another reset to manufacturers' settings while I still could. Did it (with the phone charging on USB) and when it turned back on the battery was at 10%? WTF?
5. I thought the best thing to do was to deplete the battery completely which I did and left it on AC charging for a couple of hours. When I came back, the red light was blinking. I turned it on, and the battery was at miserable 2% again, just enough to turn it on.
Any suggestions or possible solutions?
Thank you for reading my BS, appreciate it. :good:

I had this problem and it was the charger so use another one.

The thing I forgot to mention was that we tested the charger on my borthers' S3 mini and it worked ok.
Anyway, thanks, will try that tomorrow when I get my hands on another charger, but it seems unlikely, seeing how it's not charging properly even via USB and how it charged the S3 mini ok.

That happened to me too. Tested my htc charger on a xperia s and works fine but plugged into my phone doesn't work. So i just use a sony charger and it works fine.

Another development in the story - it's not the charger.
I left it on charger (new charger) overnight, in the morining - 6%. Rebooted it - 90%. WTF
I'm on Android Revolution 30.1 and before it was happening on stock 4.2.2. - any ideas?
Also, should I be worried about CPU-Z showing that the CPU is constantly going from 5% to 70% load when absolutely nothing else is turned on on the phone? (exept sense, no apps from my end I mean)

Check for wakelocks and recalibrate your battery

M9 5.1 update causes discharge while on charger

Since the T-Mobile 5.1 update, my phone charges to full, then begins to discharge while still plugged in. Simply unplugging and plugging back in starts charging again. Is there going to be an update or something else to fix this?
The first screenshot shows that I plugged it in at around 8am. At a bit before 9am, it was full. Then there is that gap. It thinks there is no cell signal. It's plugged in the entire time, and at a bit after noon, I look at it the history and this is what you see.
Then I unplug and plug it back in, and a few minutes later the second screenshot is of the history again.
This particular occurrence was with the included charger. It also happens with the other chargers I have.

I recently received 2.11.661.2 from Telus and my HTC provided charger never gets me past 90%,and it drops fast with usage even if still plugged in.
My quick charge charger is fine though.......

I didn't want to do it, but I did a factory reset on my phone. And the problem persists.

Same here, if the charger doesn't have enough push the phone whinges about it and won't turn the screen off, therefore wasting what little precious power you have left..
Dead pixels, scratched screen and now this.. Htc are crap. Sorry i ever bought this phone.
