Battery allways 0% - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
i just woke up and noticed that my Desire was off. I usually connect the to the charger before i go to bett, so last night.
I tried turning the phone on but it didnt work on the first try. I pulled the battery and sd card and tried it again after a minute and the phone booted.
Now its running but the battery information screen says 0% and the icon in the notification bar doesnt grow.
Did a battery information wipe from Clockwork Mod - no changes.
Any ideas?
sorry for bad english...

[Q] Stopped charging: Unusual

Apologies for another not charging thread, i have tried searching for a similar issue but no luck.
I put my DHD to charge as usual last night at around 40%, the charge LED lit up and the battery icon was showing that i am charging.
When i woke this morning, the charge LED and battery icon were still showing that i should be charging yet the phone now only has 33% battery, so clearly hadnt charged. I checked current widget and when the LED and icon show charging i only seem to be getting anywhere between a reading of 40mA and 270mA. With an occasional 300-400mA reading.
I seem to be able to intermittently get the phone to charge and the batt icon to rise by a percent or two but then it seems to stop again. As i am in work at the moment i am having to charge via USB from my PC. Therefore i am currently unable to try another micro USB charger and see if it is indeed the charger or the phone.
Has anyone else had a similar issue, says it charging but it not??
Or anyone have any ideas of a solution??
If it matters i am currently using LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1 GB. Id rather not have to return it to HTC as i am unsure of how to return the phone to default easily so it could be repaired on warranty.
Thanks in advance,
James
Firstly, download CurrentWidget, set refresh to 15 seconds, and make sure you set it to display battery voltage. If it is showing around 4200mV, it is charged, and you have a problem with the battery gauge.
To double check, turn off your phone, and see if the light goes green at 100%.
Boot back up, just to see if a reset fixes it.
If not, reboot into recovery, and wipe battery stats (or do it properly, turn off, wait until light is green, wait another hour, then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats).
Turn back on, and see if the problem is sorted.

[Q] Weird issue fixed? Gnex turned off after plugging out of charger

Hi,
I know some people already went through this and i'd like to hear from them how they solved it and what are your thoughts about this issue. (I'm not sure if i solved it yet...)
It was all ok yesterday night. Received calls, sent messages through Whatsapp, Facebook, read articles on Flipboard, and set up the clock alarm and left it on the screen (in that dark mode with blue numbers - my phone is set to never sleep when charging).
And no, the phone didn't drop/suffered a hard impact or anything liquid came near the phone.
Plugged my phone to charge on the wall, the charging bolt icon appeared on the battery icon and i went to sleep. (The battery was at 34%)
I woke up this morning, battery was 100% charged as expected, so i unplugged it. Just after that, the phone went off and i couldn't turn it on.
I plugged it back on the wall and the charging battery icon appeared. It was showing an empty battery charging all over again. I tried to power it on. Google screen showed up, followed by the loading X from JB, then turned off.
I unplugged again and left my phone quiet for a while and then i tried to turn it on again. Turned it on all the way until the lock screen, but the battery icon was empty (with a "!") and then the phone went off again.
I've tried to follow some workarounds i've found on Google but none of them worked for me.
-Hard reset, trying to remove battery, sim card
-Cleaning the golden contacts on the battery compartment/battery/sim card with dry soft cloth.
-Trying to plug it on pc without the battery (couldn't recognize the phone - weird, because i've connected it many times and it was ok with it's drivers properly installed - no beep after 5 seconds)
-Power it on after plugging it on the wall
What i've just tried and seem to work (i hope so)
-I took the battery and sim card off the phone for a while. Put it all back after some minutes and turned it on. After the JB loading screen appeared, i waited a while and then plugged the cable on phone/wall.
Looks like the phone is working now, all my settings, pictures, data, music still there and the battery is charging all over again, from 5% (!?!?!?) but i'm not sure if it's really charging. I don't know if the phone will turn itself off again if i unplug from the charger.... Anyone has any ideas?
Could it be any software issue? (I've installed "Battery Widget? Reborn" from Play some days ago. It's a really beautiful widget for battery info but i don't think it's the problem because i've charged the phone a few times since then and it was all working good)
And i don't mess around too much with the phone. Just rooted to change from yakjuvs to yakju and update from ICS 4.0.2 to ICS 4.0.4 and then to takju/JB 4.1.1.
(My GSM Nexus is running Jelly Bean 4.1.1 - JRO03C, XXLF1, all stock and rooted. And yes, standard battery that comes with it)
Thanks!

[Q] [q] Hard bricked? Won't turn on, won't connect, small signs of life

Hi,
I turned my phone off last night before going to sleep, it had 40% battery left. When I tried to turn it on this morning it didn't do anything. Even when trying to charge it the LED did not light up.
the only sign of life I got out of it was a screen with the "battery charging", looked like it was charged around 50%. However, it did not, and still does not respond to the hardware keys...
Any solutions? Or am I simply out of luck.
Extra info:
Stock rom, rooted.
Already had some sort of problem described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/help/phone-freezes-awake-stock-custom-rom-t2908503
Thanks in advance!
May be you should try wiping data (lock screen & stuff) from samsung online site (if you have registered).. Not sure if it work.. Just a suggestion..
Somehow I don't have any registered devices.. (I did register it though, just because of the dropbox storage bonus)
Edit: My device randomly booted up, had it plugged in to the charger all day (about 6 hours), 47% charged right now.
going to make a backup using titanium and flashing stock via odin, see if it helps.
This is reaaally weird though... :silly:

Battery Level stuck @80%?

I can not seem to clear my Issue of the battery always showing 80%.
I have reflashed back to Stock, but still the same problem.
Even when I had TWRP recovery installed it showed as 80%.
Any ideas how to fix this please?
you have infinite battery, be happy!
I wish
Fixed it by flashing Open EU H815.kdz file once again and now the battery use is showing correctly.
Edit: The problem is back again!!!!
After several hours when it seemed okay, I put the phone back on charge and Bingo.
Stuck back at 80% again, even on my other original LG Battery, and to top it all i have a stuck LED on faint green.
WTF???
I had the same problem before, how many apps do you have installed? Does it charge in safe mode? If not, does it charge to 100% when the phone is powered off?
Tried Safe Mode and the same problem persists.
The battery seems to charge fully but the OS is not showing it correctly
Hmm, in my case, it was always stuck at 74%/75% and it doesn't charge more regardless what the indicator says. What about if you powered off the phone and charge, does it actually go past 80% and to 100%? I fixed my problem as I had 739 apps installed incuding system apps so I greenified everything except for those I needed and that fixed the problem, not only am I getting more than 2 hours of battery life regardless if the screen was on or not, it's now 12 hours or so of battery life with a few hours of screen time but the charging is fixed. Before I used to also have problems installing in Google Play Store, it would actually sit there doing nothing after the download and install when it feels like it even after a hour or it can install fast.
Tried charging while turned off and still gives the same reading.
Last night I reset the phone and left the battery out for 30 mins before re-inserting and setting up the phone once again.
So far it seems to be fixed and showing correct battery %.

Sure, see attached.... Please note that I am including the system apps in the app count as this is what's reported by Titanium Backup *root. I was wrong, I seem to still be getting the stuck battery percentage indicator which can happen at 73/74% or even 97%.
It seems the stuck battery charging % problem came back when I changed the brightness to 100% Auto but went away when I changed it to 0% Auto. I had the problem at 38% Auto too.
Is there any workaround? I just flashed my LG G4 from 10a to 10e and Rooted it. And It happened exact the same.
After a reboot I didn't have Service IMEI Null . This happened twice in a row, after that it magically resolved and now I have Service and IMEI... But after some reboots I started noticing that LED green turned on and the 80% Stuck Battery....
Im experiencing the same issue battery stuck at 80% and green led stuck on. Issue went away however battery life was appallingly bad, went from 1.5 days battery life to struggling to last a day. Battery stuck at 80% has come back today.
I have tried factory reset, upgrading from 10c to 10e.
i'm having the same problem: battery level stuck at 80%, network set to 3G but not actually connecting, and the inability to charge the battery when it is in the phone - even though it says "charging" the percentage kept dropping (tried different chargers, cables, batteries, and even wireless charger - i can only charge using a separate charger). the battery not charging started about a week ago. the 80%/3G issue started this morning.
no root or any other mods, very few apps installed. i've had the phone about 6 months. verizon. 13B. 5.1.
i did wake up the other day to a frozen "firmware update" screen, but it has not come back, and i've checked for updates (to 6.0 maybe) with no success. this "firmware" screen was after the battery stopped charging, but before the 80% problem. i had to pull the battery after it sat there a few hours (it said "don't disconnect USB" even though USB was never connected, and there was a progress bar at 0%).
UPDATE: this thing may be falling apart in front of my eyes. now my service is disabled and I have no network connection showing up at all.

Try taking the SD card out, if that doesn't work take the sim card out and then back in. That normally gets the service working again for me.
I had this same issue and sent it back to the supplier, they than forwarded it onto LG who couldn't find any issue with it. Im now waiting for it to be sent back to me.
Are you using a 3rd party (non-OEM) battery by any chance? I ask because I had the same issue occasionally when using a non-LG battery. It would fix itself after a few reboots or by installing the LG battery that came with the phone. I truly believe based on my experience, and others (there is another thread related to this exact problem) that the issue is purely battery related. Even the service disabled symptom.

I don't have a 3rd party battery so I don't think that's my issue
OEM battery for me. I did remove SD card, and reseated the SIM: no help.
This is my current work around: Turn off phone. Charge battery to 100% with phone off (overnight). Turn phone on.
It seems to charge fine (and have accurate %) when the phone is off. Then it powers up with accurate battery percentage and 4G coverage. Note, I've only tried this twice, but it worked both times.
I'm having the same issue. Battery stuck at 80% and green constant notification light. Not rooted BTW.
I assume LG will investigate the issue while I am stuck with no phone for weeks.
I should have never bought a non nexus phone...

Phone turns off randomly with low battery warning

Hello everyone! Recently my Note II started to behave differently. Whenever I charged it completely, the battery abruptly fell to sometimes 60% sometimes 40% immediately followed by low battery warning indication and shutting down. I tried changing ROM and calibrating the battery again but nothing worked. Finally I replaced the battery with a new one and also clean flashed another ROM in a hope to see if the problem is gone or still there. But to my surprise the problem is still intact. Now, when I turn on the phone the battery is 90% and when I keep using it, it drains normally, but as soon as I put it idle it turns off randomly. When I turn the phone back on the battery is still at the same percentage level at which is turns off. I believe there is not an issue with the battery. Please help me what to do, I am using TWRP recovery that doesn't gives the battery stats wipe option too. Should I flash a new ROM again? I would greatly appreciate if someone please helps me in sorting this problem.
What I have already done!
1. Replaced the battery
2. Changed the ROM
3. Re-calibrated the battery
