[Q] G2 Takes 13 hours to fully charge - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

okay so my G2 takes about 13 hours to charge to 100% and then when i unplug the charger my phone reboots and it loads back up and the battery says 0% and dies. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Do I just need a new battery?

obviously not normal, and definitely a rare incident. almost certainly means you need a new battery

That is not normal at all....my battery can charge from 1% to 100% in around 1 hour and 30 minutes.

That joke flew way over your head..
LOL @ Ionic.

It maybe a few things....
I had same problem when I had my behold II and it had problem with OS (stupid 1.6) I had to get a replacement phone after I went to the tmo store n tested the battery using battery charge widget n guy went like yeah that's def not battery n called in replacement phone.
I also had same issue when I flashed cyan on my G1 incorrectly and same thing with Cliq xt.
Try fully wipe(especially battery stats), flash OS, don't flash any apps n try to charge the phone also try different Rom.

Question with battery

I purchased the official Seidio 3500 mah batteries for my evo and the wifes evo. After a full charge, her battery under normal usage all day and night is at 57%. My phone after a full charge and barely any use whatsoever was at 13% after an hour..... We are both running Azrael x3.0 rom with the newest htc kernel #15... any suggestions?? Maybe my new battery is faulty?? I would expect this from ****ty ebay batteries, but not something official!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Try eliminating a variable by swapping batteries with your wife....then use your old one again.....if both work well then you have your answer......

Swap batteries ... if hers only lasts a short time in your phone then issue is with the phone. Then you can start troubleshooting.
Edit: Ha I was a few second to slow!
Ok I will give that a try.... I noticed in the battery left widget when I go to usage, the very first one says "running" 84%, and I click on it, basically it is stating that the phone isn't sleeping when I lock the phone..... could this mean that the everything is staying on when it should be sleeping?
Thank you for tips!!

Switch batteries with your wife.
EDIT: I guess that was too obvious! We must have all hit return at the same time!!!

Ok after being on the charger for all night, I unplugged it, and really haven't done anything and I dropped to 90 % within 8 minutes.... I haven't had a chance to try my wifes battery yet, but im thinking this one is definitely faulty...
Why would android system be at 63%???

Dropping the first 10% quickly is not a certain indication that its the battery....your battery charges to 100% and then, begins to be used up to 10% before it charges again.....so you could have been lower than you thought you were originally ...thus making it appear that you dropped 10% in minutes.....if the remainder of the battery does this then I still recommend you try swapping with your wife to eliminate or confirm

Ok well I just wanted to say thank you guys for your advice, but I think I figured it out.... I think that some things within the phone were not getting along. I flashed the SBC-Net-4.2.2-more-havs kernel #11. I fully charged the phone, including bump charge, and I left it on for about an hour or so longer, and I have been unplugged for 1:44, and my awake time is 45 min. I am still reading 100%!!! So I think I am good to go....
Thanks again guys

When is it best to change ur rom?

On full battery or still plugged on the charger.... I know if u change your rom on half or low battery it really screws up the battery...
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I've never heard of such a thing. I've switched ROms many times while @ 30% or below. Regardless, I think it's best to be above 50% and on wireless.
Why would it screw up the battery? I've installed many roms on many occasions and my battery was not fully charged. I'm gettng excellent battery life on CM7 right now (yesterday/today's uptime is almost at 19 hours and still at 40% with moderate usage).
I have the stock battery, mind you.

It really doesn't matter at all, just don't do it with 5-10%, don't want the battery dying while you are in the middle of a flash.
When u recharge the phone when recalibrate does it have to be off or on

This is all you need to worry about man. This goes for updating radios and recoveries through bootloader aswell. If your batt dies in the middle of something it could turn into a brick
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Make sure that it's just charged enough that it wont die in the middle of a flash. You don't want that expensive of a paperweight. Other than that being said, i've flashed roms with under 40% battery before.

If you are talking about wiping battery stats, that really doesn't do much.

First of all, is it rooted? If yes, what rom do you have? You have custom recovery?
If not try this. Charge the phone and when the green led is on power off the device and leave it to charge for another 1 hour.
No it is not rooted. The problem is that the green light never appears because it doesn't fully charge.

Nvm
Will do. I have never let the battery drain completely. Do you think that can be a reason why it's not charging. Thanks

Same problem
I had the same problem with one week old VM One V. Charged to 80% and no more. Discharged (auto turned off at 10%) and it charged to 100 one time. Then charged only to 84%. Discharged again, went down to 6% before shutting down. After a couple more cycles, including unplugging after "full" charge to 84%, then replugging and getting to 100%, finally two days in a row woke up to a green light and 100% from a 20-30% level at bed time. Only issue now seems to be two widgets show different battery levels, e.g. 63% on battery monitor widget pro, 53% on Elixer pro battery widget. The icon at the top looks more like 60%.
Not rooted, waiting a while. Love the phone, wish it were dual core, but runs as well as my Droid X and much better battery life. Nice design and feel.
have you resolved your issue Relgozen??
Yes your advice was very helpful. Should I continue to charge my device only when the battery dies?
Thanks again

Ok thank you

So now that the problem went away I was not afraid to root my phone. Now, my battery is saying it has been on 97% for four hours. It is rooted. Any help? Thanks
UPDATE:after resetting the phone about 5 times the battery indicator went back to normal. Sorry for the extra post

Suffring bad battery drop

Hi im suffering with big battery drops well not drops but its just turned off at 37% will a simple battery calibration work? Ive installed battery calibrator for nexus one will that help someone please help
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
First try the battery calibrator. If that doesn't work, your battery is probably finished. How long have you had it. I believe it's normal for the battery to start acting like this after 2.5-3 years, so it might be time to buy a new one.

Desire not holding a charge

Hi
I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with this phone a while back after flashing a new rom (mildwild I think) my phone started to shutdown at around 80 or 70%. I've tried charging it a few times but no luck so I tried my spare battery which I think worked at first, it lasted till about 20% but then it started to shutdown at 80 aswell. I gave up and got a new phone but I like to try and get this one working again. I've flashed it back to stock gb with the ruu but it's still the same I don't think it's charging the batteries fully as after only about a hour the led turns green.
Anyone have any idea's on what's up with it?
Thanks

The same thing has happened to me so basically you need a new battery because yours could be old and check if its bloated.

I was thinking about trying another battery but they aren't that cheap. It seems odd that the 2 batteries would stop working around the same time tho.
