I know that when I turn off fastboot, power down the handset and connect the charger, the clockwordmod recovery screen shows.
My question is: Will displaying this for three four hours have a detrimental effect on the screen eg. burn in?
I'm 74% certain that the battery does accept a charge in this state but after three four hours still haven't got a green light.
Anyone?

i can't really answer your question because i dont know, but imo the best way to charge the device is to put it in hibernate, that way the screen stays off and cwm dosent come up

I don't think leaving it to charge in clockwork is going to do your screen any favours, but why do you need to turn it off to charge it? It does charge fine in recovery but for your screens sake leave it turned on
Thanks guys.
I had a Desire before my HD and had battery drain problems that were somewhat resolved by charging the phone fully and then resuming charge whilst turned off.
Y'see, when the light turns green, I power it off and the light is orange which (going by the desire) means it is not fully charged.

See your point, but surely if youve charged it to an indicated 100% (note green light comes on around about 90%) then turn it off, a charge for half an hour should be the most it's gonna need? and i dont think thats gonna kill your screen.
BTW if you install QtADB you can use the phone info pane to check the charge/charging state whilst in recovery which has gotta be more accurate than relying on the light changing colour

I think htc removed that crappy 95% charge thing on the dhd , i had the same problem with my desire, but ive left my dhd on charge all night while its been on, and in the morning i still had 100% charge

I have just taken delivery of my second replacement MDAC3, and it looks like this one might have a problem too!
When I first switched it on, it got as far as the green wm6 screen then the led flashed red a couple of times and the unit switched itself off. I plugged a usb lead in, the orange charging led came on but only for 5 seconds and then started flashing. It did this for a bit then it started flashing green.
To cut a long story short(er) it seems that the phone will not charge the battery unless it is switched off, and even then it gets to 96% and stops and shows the green led
Question: does this sound like the symptoms of a duff battery, or a duff phone?
As the battery seems to have discharged itself in the 2-3 weeks that the phone has been away

I have the same problem on my htc p3300, and when i used batti 2.4 i saw that the battery temperature is 432675.5 etc something fake temerature. This is the reason, why my pda unable to charge my battery. If you set your pda in bootloader mode, it will charge your battery!. After 3 or more times i charged it in bootloader mode somethimes the battery temp sensor works normally, and the charge is working as well. Sometimes not.
But you can charge your battery allways in bootloader mode.
Sorry for my English.
Try it!
Good luck!
...
buy a new battery..
charge untill full.. while device is turned off..
dont turn it on untill its fully charged..
but yes.. flashing led, orange light, indicates battery is fffked...
good luck

Any idea what's wrong? I plug the phone into my computer with a USB cable, and I've also tried using the wall socket attachment, but all that happens is the phone's battery icon goes from somewhat filled blue (it's currently in the 70s percent-wise) to flashing an empty red battery icon, then back to blue, then red, etc.
What causes this? I didn't have these problems a week ago and I've changed nothing. Is it the battery? Software problem?
Taking the battery out and putting it back in seems to fix it, but I'm wondering if there is an alternative. Maybe the problem is caused by the Battery Indicator app?
Thanks.
Turn phone off charge overnight then
turn it on charge it till blue light comes on.
turn it off let blue light come on
boot into recovery and wipe battery stats

This slashing red icon just happened to me last night too! I will try this now. Thanks.
Note: I am using an extended 3500 mAh battery.
This morning, my phone was dead. I tried plugging it in but found a blinking orange light. I tried turning it on but it wouldnt turn on. Does this mean there is a problem with my battery?
I've gone on several trips lately where I used my phone as a GPS. I just got a new dash mount for it. On those trips, I had noticed a blinking alternating orange and green light. I thought this meant it was charging and I had a notification, however, now that I do some searching it looks like it means overheating perhaps.
The orange blinking did turn solid after a while and I was able to boot my phone.
Could be a battery issue. If the phone is completely dead, it takes a few minutes on the charger before it can power on. Let it sit for like 5 - 10 minutes on the charger, and when the light goes solid it should be able to be turned on. You may want to invest in a new battery.

This is normal behavior for a completely drained battery. The phone will not turn on until it achieves partial charge (I'm not sure off-hand what %), and it will give you the flashing orange to let you know.
As you observed, once you charge it enough, it will turn on normally and everything is fine again.
As for the blinking you observed during navigation, that could have meant notifications while charging, as you suspected. It's also possible that you were overheating, but if so the phone would have stopped accepting charge and the battery icon would have changed to indicate such.
Thanks, it is working again now. I'll have to keep an eye on the battery life to see if it has really gotten worse.
In the car, I know there was one time where it got really hot. I held it next to the AC vent for a few minutes to cool it down. Also, my charger cable may be going bad. I noticed that eventhough I turn off the screen, sometimes it will randomly come back on. I figure maybe this is the cable getting disconnected and then reconnected.
This happened to me before and it turned out it was my charger not working properly. I even got a message multiple times saying that the charging accessory was not compatible but it was the the stock data cable. The problem turned out to be it didn't have enough voltage or something like that because it kept telling me to connect to a wall rather than through USB, while I was using the A/C adapter.

I'm pretty sure that a blinking orange light during use is a "hot battery" notification. On one trip, I had navigation going, while streaming XM and had the car charger plugged in. When I noticed the blinking orange, the temp was at 119F and really hot to the touch. I immediately stopped navigation and streaming, and unplugged from the charger. Since I had the air on, I removed the phone case and battery door and let the AC blow on the phone which cooled it down and the blinking stopped.

No. It doesn't do that. If you are charging, you get a solid red and no indication of notifications.
The blinking red/green means the battery is too hot and is not charging, as other people have confirmed.
Yesterday when i plugged my phone in to charge, the battery icon turned into a question mark and the led started blinking orange and green. I tried pulling the battery out and rebooting the phone and the battery went back to normal but the led kept blinking. I left it to charge overnight and now I cannot get the phone to turn on at all. I have tried pulling the battery, holding the power button, plugging it in, nothing works. It will not turn on. I am on skyraider zeus if that helps at all.

The blinking LED of orange and green means the battery is overheating.
Try a new battery, battery is possible dead?
What kernel are you running? Stock clock speed and voltage? I would also recommend trying a new battery before anything else.
Sounds like your battery is overheating. Well actually sounds like you overheated it to death. It definately isn't a hardware problem though. Ive done this a couple times. Last summer while waiting for Revolutionary to come out I burned allot of time on Netflix with my phone plugged in, one week later fried battery. Just bring the battery in and they can tell you if it's dead or not

Hi
My phone has recently developed a fault. As mentioned above when I use the camera the phone shuts down as soon as I take a photo. If i do the same with the charging cable connected the camera works ok.
This happens even with the battery at a high level of charge. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how was it solved.
I should mention the phone is stock 4.4.4 htc sense 6.0 Software No 3.33.61.9. Api level 6.25
Thanks

I thought I would carry out a test to see if it is a battery problem so I fully charged the phone to 100% then just left it all day. Switched on and the screen saver on.
So 10am fully charged. 7:55 pm checked phone and it had shut down and would not turn back on. When I plugged in a charger the screen lit up with the charging battery symbol and showing 23%.
Imthink a phone should last more than 12 hours when not in use. Or am I wrong.

go into settings / apps / Camera and clear the data / cache
I had this problem with the OneX I tried what @CiSa suggested it worked for one picture then it did the same as you described I had to take it back to my network provider I bought it from. Hope clearing the data cache works for you of it dosnt you will have to send it back to where you got it from
I think this may be a general battery problem and not just related to the battery.
The phone is now just shutting down when the battery gets below 45%
I'm not sure if I have caused this because I put the phone on charge every night regardless of charge level and leave it on charge all night. .

That's how I charge my phone, every afternoon when i get home from work and again overnight when i go to bed ... never had a battery issue
Have you tried a hardware battery recalibration?
The battery calibration starts with the phone completely off. The steps are as follows: Charge the device for at least 10 minutes using the original charging cable in a wall outlet. With the device powered off while still plugged into the wall outlet, press and hold the volume up, volume down and power button for two full minutes. Use three fingers to hold these buttons and do not let go at any time. They will be held in at the same time for this to work. After two minutes, you can let go. At this point, the device should boot up and battery/charging logic will be re-calibrated.

I have also charged my phone to 100%, then booted to recovery and charged it to 100%, the shut the phone down completely and let it charge ti ll the green light comes on 100%. you'll be surprised how the 3 different modes read the battery differently
Also the only time I had the camera shut down the phone I just cleared the DATA it fixed it
Thanks for all your suggestions. I tried the hardware battery recalibration but the phone just kept switching on.
Anyway whilst trying to do this I noticed the screen has lifted about millimetre at the bottom right hand corner. Wild this cause the battery to discharge.
I am having the same issue with my HTC One m8 eye the phone just shutdown with I take a picture in lie light with the flash I tried restoring the phone but only works for a short time so old help
