Hello!
I have a question about battery charging. I'm using open desire custom rom and my battery won't charge till100%.
I connect the charger and it only fills up to 90 - 100%. Sometimes it charges till 100 but only when I connect with 10 - 20% or turn off the phone and charge when it's off.
Anyone had the same problem?
Thanks!
The following steps should significantly extend the battery life on your phone.
Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged.
Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.
Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green.
Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.
Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it.
Thanks i'll give it a try...hope this batt calibration works

It charges itself normaly, to the green light on the right.
After I disconnet it from the charger green lights still, not blinking (as it was before).
After 10-15 minutes it lights orange (like during charge).
In Power settings State of main battery changes to Charging, though it is not connected to charger, and drains out in about 4-6 hours.
Backlight Brightness also behaves like it is on external power not on battery.
Any comments would be appreciated.
When the power is on the TP2 the red LED charge light is on. the icon in the task bar changes to show that it is plugged in. but after sitting for hours the battery only drains further. If i power the TP2 down plug it up the red LED comes on and the battery charges fully to 100% then goes to green. I have bought new battery and charger. any ideas? note it is allowed to charge via usb in the settings. thanks folks
This is NOT a issue. It's a feature.
Phone does charge to 100%, but later the electricity is cut off until it reaches ~95% (or something like that). It prevents the battery from overcharging and saves important battery lifetime cycles. If it would be charged constantly from 99% to 100% the battery would be dead in a month.
I have noticed that whenever I charge my DHD through my laptop USB port, It discharges faster than on a full charge through the charger.
Am I imagining things?
I don't know about fast discharging, but mine takes forever to charge while connected through a USB :/ however, there are ROMS that have included fast USB charging either through the ROM itself or a kernel

Also just because the indicator light is green and battery reads 100% it doesn't mean the battery is at 100%. There is an amount of time that varies depending whether you charge via mains or USB after the light goes green/100% that the battery is actually fully charged.
I remember reading somewhere that in the case of USB charging it can actually take up to an hour after to the light turning green that the battery is at 100%. Something to bear in mind.
After the light has turned green and the battery shows 100%, power off the phone and charge for an additional hour or two. This should help.
Also use battery monitor app to watch the charging current--the battery is fully charged only when the monitor shows 0mA. Usually after the light has turned green and the battery showed 100%, the battery charging current is still 40-50mA.
So I've noticed for a while now that when I disconnect my dInc after charging, the battery will drain almost 20% within the first couple hours (almost no use at all). I suspect that the battery isn't being fully charged when the green light first goes off. After I plug/unplug the cable and charge a couple more times, it holds a higher charge more consistently. I've read this is due to the phone not wanting to over-charge the battery, however in the case of my battery (Seido 1750), it doesn't even fully charge.
Is there any way (aside from the plug/unplug scenario) to fully charge the battery in one go? An app maybe?
My phone is rooted.
Thanks.
The battery could be losing its ability to hit its capacity. In other words its wearing down.
Nothing will fix it. There are no apps to bump charge.

Get an external charger for your battery and couple of extra batteries. I get best result not charging in the phone and rotating batteries.

Charge the phone powered on until the light turns green. Leave it plugged in but turn it off. Leave it plugged in, off for about 20 minutes, you will notice the light is still orange even though its already "charged." Once the light goes green again, unplug it and power it up. When I do this, my battery will go for 3 or 4 hours before it hits 90 percent with my regular use.

Just be aware that bump charging as it's called, can reduce the life of your battery over time.
My wife has my old S2 and the past day has noticed it only charges to 52%.. She tends to play on the phone doing miscellaneous stuff thru the day and when it gets low just plugs the charger in and continues to play.. I know on my S3 everynight I allow it to get down to about 2% then will plug it on until it reaches full charge 100%.. Should I allow hers to fully discharge til the phone shuts off and let it get a full charge cycle the next couple days iin hopes of "re-training" the battery cycles or is there something else I should do.

Lithium battery's don't have a "memory" like nickel cadmium batteries. They would die quick doing what your describing over time. Lithium doesn't work that way.
In other words, I wouldn't worry about it.

Method 1 – The Drain Way
Drain it down until fully dead.
Charge normally to full.
Reboot to Clockwork recovery and wipe battery stats (under advanced, on second page), reboot phone.
Turn everything on, flashlight, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Pandora, the whole nine, to quickly drain it completely dead.
Charge normally to full.
Method 2 – The Powered Off Charge way
Charge your phone 100% while it’s on.
Unplug it from the charger, power off, then charge it up to 100% with it in a powered off state.
Unplug charger from phone. Power it on, and then charge it to 100% while the phone is on.
Unplug the charger and then reboot into Clockwork, go to advanced and clear the battery stats.
Power on, charge to full, and then enjoy.
Method 3 :
Start with the phone powered on.
(Phone on) Charge battery until the LED turns blue
(Phone on) Unplug the phone from the charger, wait until the LED turns off
Power off the phone.
(Phone off) Plug the adapter into the phone, charge it up until the LED turns blue
(Phone off) Unplug, wait until the LED turns off
Power the phone on.
Wait until the phone is booted back up all the way, and then power it off again
(Phone off) Plug the adapter into the phone, charge it up until the LED turns blue.
Boot the phone into recovery mode
Go to Advanced, and then choose Wipe Battery Stats.
Power the phone on and use normally.
You really dont have to reboot into recovery and wipe battery stats as that doesn't really work but to get all your juice back its going to be a few cycles also this works pretty good as well https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en
