Hi All,
I have been using my Desire for the past month. One thing I noticed after I rooted and upgraded my phone to 2.2 is, the battery cannot be charged to 100%!?
I had plugged my phone to a wall charger and let it charge overnight. When I woke up the LED on the phone is green but the battery widget says the phone is only 96% charged. Regardless how long I left my phone plugged to the charger, I still have 96% only.
A temporary solution for this issue is to unplug the phone, switch it off, and charge it again. The LED will become amber when I plugged in, and turns green after 30 more minutes of charging.
Is it normal? Or is it ROM-related? I have read the batter calibration thread and followed the instruction, but it doesn't solve my problem.
Thanks for the help in advance.
yes i think its in the default kernel.
I have the same problem
It charges to 100% but then stop charging untill the batt hits 90% then charges again
In the past i have the same question...here is the answer

I had my new HTC Desire 3 weeks ago. Those last days I plug my HTC to the charger overnight and when I take it back in the morning the battery is only up to 92-93% and the led is green, like it had a full charge. If I unplug-plug the device, it will resume charging, this time up to 100%.
Is this a normal behaviour for a battery 3 weeks old?
How can I fix this?
This is normal behavior of the phone. It charges up to 100% and then stops until the charge drops down to 90%, at that point it starts charging again up to 100%. This is what you have noticed, there is nothing wrong with your phone or the battery
This worked, even though I am no longer worried about it.
1) After green light unplug phone and wait 10 minutes
2) Shut phone off
3) Plug back in till light green
4) Turn back on
Poof, 100% but other than that the above post is correct, not a problem. I bought an extended battery for mine. 3,000 mAh and have no problems.
I own a HTC wildfire. I have some issues with my battery and I can't pinpoint out the reason, these are the issues:
It rarely charges to 100% unless I let it charge for a while and then reboot the phone. But it'll drop really quick
If its charging while switched off and I take the charger off, the charging light will stay on indefinitely
The battery goes really quick, in 90 mins my battery charge is now 38%
When switched off and charging, it never gets the green fully charged light, but if I switch it on it'll say 100%
Do I need a new battery?

I am bit confused with the battery charging !! Tried to search on xda also. I am using mildwild rom, which is based on CM7.1. The led of my phone goes green as soon as it is 90% charged and stay green even after 100%. I guess that is normal with all Desires. But recently I used and application called "easy battery saver". I noticed that it has 3 charging modes as follows:
1.) Fast charge
2.) Continuous Charge
3.) Trickle Charge
As soon as battery is charged 100%, the mode changes from fast to continuous mode, after 15-30 minutes mode changes to trickle charge. If I use follow this app I get more battery life !!
But question is why does HTC Desire led glow green when the phone is not full charged ??

The desire when it was completely stock, used to charge to 100%. When it was still plugged in for 2 hours at 100%, it would rapidly depelete the battery back down to 90% and start charging back up to 100%. The light would remain green during this process. You could find if unplugging it in the morning during this cycle, that you only had 90% battery (very annoying).
Anyway, its a legacy in AOSP Roms that they go green at 90%. Its sort of a bug that many people cant be bothered with. There is a fix for it. MildWild implemented it I believe.

On my HTC desire ( with stock rom) the led gets green when charging current get lower than 80mA. The charge continue for one hour, then a discharge current of around 120mA takes place until the charge is 99%. Then a new charging cycle starts : this is what generally named as ''Trikle charge''
I never noticed that the trickle charge improve my battery life.

They may have changed things. When the desire first came out when I got it, it didn't trickle. That's what the rapid deplete was used instead. You could clearly see it in system panel.
Maybe enough people moaned and they addressed this in a software update. But clearly the underlying led issue is still there

Hi all,
My One X charges strangly I think. It charges really fast from about 80% give or take. It should charge slowly (given the nature of the battery). When it says the battery is charged, I unplug the device and within 15 minutes or so the battery is already at 90%. I have a feeling that the device somehow think the battery is fully charged while it is not really the case. Could this be resolved by doing a factory reset so that the battery stats will be removed? Or should I seek some other solution for it?
I'm currently on stock 1.28.xxx.x, the same problem occured at 1.26.xxx.x.
In the attachment I made a sketch of the behaviour of the charging
cheers
+1
Same here. Tried the factory reset after the 1.28 OTA, but am still getting the same pattern.

Someone said battery was improved after about 3weeks use. So 7days! For me left!

The green charging light goes on at ~95%. When the phone charges all the way to 100%, it disconnects itself from the charger until it goes back down to say, 95% again. When it hits 95% it will then charge itself back up to 100%, and this cycle will repeat. That's why sometimes when you pull the phone off the charger it is down to 90% or 95% or whatever sometimes within a few minutes.
Hello XDA,
I am experiencimg some problems with battery of my phone. Yesterday I discharged my phone to 0% and a few hours later I connected phone to charger. Red led was shining and phone has 2% of battery after a while.
This morning I woke up, led wasn't shining at all and the level of battery was 5%. I tried to use phone but after minute level changed to 3%. So I turned it off for 20 minutes while charging. Red led started to shine. Later I turned it on and phone had 94%. Led is not shining anymore and it's discharging. Connecting to powerbank did't solve the problem, phone behaves the same way.
I'm using Maximus HD ROM 21.1.
Could it be SW problem or is battery just dead?
i faced the same problem. even i flashed maximus hd rom and now the phone is not charging anymore. cant flash new boot as the charge is too low.
