I've put this question on other post, but that post was old and was not specific to this subject.
The question itself is: how do I prevent the PDA battery from charge while connected to PC through the USB cable?
I've already tested and got to this conclusion:
- Cut/disconnect the +5V pin from the usb port/cable don't work, when that is done the PC/PDA don't recognize each other and nothing happens.
Note: some ones my say that the lithium battery don't have the memory effect problem, bla bla bla, but my experience tells me otherwise. I believe that start charging when the battery is not almost empty is not a problem but stop charging before it is full is not good to the battery.

Charging the XDA Orbit
I have had this mobile since March 07 and when I get to work I plug it into the computer and when I get home I plug it into the computer and when I am in the car I plug it into the cigarette lighter. As of now I have not had any issue with the battery dying due to overcharging which is a pile of bs that was put around a few years back sort of like the idea that you have to drain the battery before charging it. If you actually look at your phone while it is plugged in it will state charging and will continue to charge until it is fully charge then will stop charging as there is no need.
In my opinion the problem is not overcharging or start charging before the battery is empty.
The real problem is to interrupt the charge before it is full.
I compare the case you describe to my chargeable screwdriver witch is always on the charger and time off it is not enough to discharge more than it will be charging next time, in other words, the time on the charger is always enough to charge the battery to 100% before the next usage, so a charge is never interrupted.
In my case I only connect the PDA to the computer when I need to install software, copy files or synchronize. The time I'm on the computer is never enough to fully charge the battery but is enough to start a charge that will be interrupted soon. The myth is that if a charge is stopped several times at (e.g.) 70%, after a while the battery will only charge to 70% even it says it is 100%.
Best Regards.
Understand your "logic" even if I don't agree with it but everyone entitled to their point of view.
I don't know how to solve your problem though as like you say, remove the 5v and the unit will no longer be seen by the PC and therefore will not sync.
If you are concerned about battery memory you could however have two batteries.
One which you only charge to full, another you use when you want to do the quick sync etc.
I know this approach requires you to swap the batteries but it's the only way I can think to resolve what you are after and it would also allow you to compare battery life between the two batteries to confirm your opinion on battery memory affect.
The idea about two batteries is not bad but it would be only doable if it is possible to remove the battery while the PDA is connected to the PC and stays on otherwise the power cycle is to long to wait for it to turn off and on to switch battery.

...or you have two batteries, one of which you keep in a cupboard and swap it out when you think you see a memory effect on your original one.

Hi there.
What software do you use to edit the registry?
Are you sure it is not charging?
I've read somewhere that it only disables the charging light but keeps charging, it would be good if it works.

Stop usb charging
When someone asks about stopping charging through usb, So many people just say that modern batteries don't have menory problems and itis ok to charge it all the time. But, Here I want to present my personal otherwise experience . I was using my G3 for 15 months without problem, but for last couple of moths I am tethering it to my PC all day and my battery has gone. It used to last a couple of daysbut now doesn't last 6-8 hours.
So, If there is a way to stop charging via usb in android, Pl share it.
i had the same problem, so i sold it xD
I wish my HTC Sprint Mogul's hardware (i.e., the battery place) could be rewired so that I could plug in my PDA to an outside source and be able to turn on my phone without the battery. This way I could use the device as an ad-hoc using WMWifirouter or a navigation system for as long as I need to without damaging or overheating the battery.
Does anyone have any idea whether a fake battery that just has the same physical dimensions, resistance, output voltage, and amperage as the original battery can be made or obtained and used to turn on HTC devices (like my Sprint Mogul TyTnII PPC6800 wm6.1) using external power without having the original battery in? This inability to keep the device on external power without the battery in its place is common to all HTC devices. If a solution is found, it would allow us to utilize power consuming programs like WMWifirouter and use the device as a complete navigation device for long trips.
When I go on long trips and want to have the Sprint navigation system on the whole time, the battery either runs out or overheats from being charged by the car charger. Subsequently the device turns off. How annoying! Hope someone can help. Thank you.
This is actually a decent request and wouldn't mind a solution.
Laptops don't need the battery in to work via AC/DC. Would be great if HTC would wire these devices so as to behave without the dependency of the battery all the time.
i wouldn't agree more... htc only works with batery inserted, and i would like too take it off and work with just the adapter
Get an after market battery?

Once the battery is fully charged the charging stops. The device is going to get hot from just being on and communication with sprint for the navigation regardless of the battery.

for once my troubleshooting of my old htc universal will help. I found when I kept my finger across the battery terminals I could run the htc universal indefinatly off just the mais adapter. this suggests that if you took an old battery and usde some VERY high resistance to the sense pins coming from the main positive battery terminal you could fool it into thinking there's a battery present. and in theory use only an external power supply. I wouldsuggest starting with an original battey or a compatable 3rd party battery that is no longer usable then gut it out and connect the mains adapter. from there use a high value variable resistor to simulate what I did as the resistance of skin would be very high. it will not give you a battery level and will most likely give the red light saying battery charging failure but at least you get to use no battery.if it works then your good to go. another theory but would be valid for temp sensor on battery is to hook a very weelfiltered dc source to the battery cell terminals of the tiny circuit board you'll find inside the battery. and give it a very clean and regulater soure of dc. then it'll always show a full battery but if the temp sensor on the circuit board gets hot due to wireless chipset use then your back to my first idea.good luck and hope it works out
Forgot to mention that I would be careful using this in your car with the power directly on the battery terminals. I doubt the circuit board regulates the battery power, since the battery should provide clean power. Most car chargers are crude at the voltage regulation. When you start the car you might see a spike or sag. Just something to think about.

Hi Tito:
No, not an after-market battery. The idea is to be able to work with HTC devices using only external power without the battery being in the device. As of now, all HTC PDAs require the battery to be in the device to turn on even when you are using external power to power up the device. The wiring of all HTC PDAs allow an external power supply to function in only recharging the battery--not powering up the device. The wiring of HTC PDAs require that only the battery be able to power up the device. The problem is when you are trying to use the device for a long time for applications such as navigation system, the act of using the battery to keep the device on and recharging it at the same time will heat up the battery, and the device turns off. I am asking the community whether anyone has a suggestion about how to modify the device to enable an external power supply to turn on the device directly with out the battery being in the device. Please re-read my original power that started this thread for more info. Thank you.

From my understanding batteries should have low internal resistance, so I don't see how hooking up a resistor will help here. Do you know whether HTC has a chip in its batteries so that the device could only recognize its batteries and thereby exclude after-market batteries? A recognition chip in the battery could explain why my device will not turn on even when I connect together all the battery prongs on my Spring Mogul (PPC6800) and the red no-battery light goes away. If there is a chip in the battery, is there a way to harvest its program and put it on a blank chip and connect it to the device battery holder's prongs to turn on the devise? Thanks for your suggestions.

The car charger that I have is a Motorola and has a fuse in it to break circuit in case of a power surge. I think we just need to find a way to power up the device without needing the battery. Any other suggestions? Thank you.

These suggestion will not work because I think HTC batteries have a chip in them to stop excess recharging. Therefore the device needs to recognize the battery chip's permission to turn on itself. See my next post for how the recharging works on Sprint Mogul (HTC PPC6800).
I would appreciate any other suggestions.

No, I want to be able to use the HTC device using an external power supply without the battery in the device.
Possible solution using a new cooked up ROM:
My Sprint Mogul (HTC PPC6800) has an LED that turns orange when I plug in the device for recharging, and the battery normally gets warmed up as the battery is being recharged. The orange LED will turn green once the battery is fully charged, and then the battery cools. Once the LED is green and the device is still plugged in to an external power supply, the fully recharged battery remains cool even if it is being used for intensive applications. From this observation, I am guessing that HTC batteries or the device itself must have a chip in them that sense the amount of charge in the battery and shup down further recharging of the battery so as to prevent overcharging the battery.
If so, can someone find out how a new ROM can be cooked up to trick the device or the battery into thinking that the battery is fully charged and thereby prevent the battery from being charged when the owner wants to use the device on external power without recharging the battery?
Of course, this must be a reversible thing to do.
I did this last year, but haven't put much time into perfecting it
I got mine to work by soldering the -/+ ends of a usb cable to the +/- leads where the battery connects on my HTC Wizard, though I haven't perfected it yet, I post some pics when I can, I also had it running on 3 AAA batteries, using the same method but connecting it to a 3x AAA battery case from radioshack, I'm no technician, so I'm winging it a bit, but I think I may need to use a resister or something cuz the battery is 3.7v and usb is 5v so I don't know how safe it is but it works. Any constructive input/advice is appreciated

I don't know how you did the soldering of the connections because when I hooked them using wires, it did not work. A red LED would come on and the phone would not turn on. So go ahead and post your pictures to see what you did. Thanks.
Here's my working design
You will need torx wrenches to get the device open, Lowes sells a great mini torx screwdriver that holds several small attachments with different torx sizes in the handle for about $5 USD (and it's made of metal not plastic so it'll last!) I should also mention that i use rechargeable batteries in battery packs so if you try that method with the usb, you may want to use rechargeable NiMH or non-Rechargeable Lithium AAA's since they have a slightly higher voltage than regular batteries. I used a fast drying epoxy to better secure and protect the soldiered ends. I drilled holes through the battery cover and the plastic shell and added a small screw to secure the battery door, I drilled another hole in the battery door for the cord to come out through and tied a knot in it so that if the cord got yanked, the battery door would keep the cord from ripping off the board inside. It seems to run best @3.7v like it original lithium battery, but it will run at 5v but it gets hot if it's on too long.

Also, be sure to only attach to the left and right battery lead dont let the +\- wires touch any of the other battery leads, a good way to this if u want to test it 1st is to use alligator clips to connect +\- wires and use a small square of electrical tape to cover the other 4 leads.
VERY IMPORTANT: You need to use a USB 1.0 Cord, USB 2.0 voltage is too high, that maybe why you got the RED LED

Thank you for your reply. The pictures that you attached are too small to see what is connected to what. From what I understand, you are trying to use NiMH rechargeable batteries of non-rechargeable AAA batteries in place of the original battery. How do you fit AAA batteries in there? What exactly did you soldier to what? A schematic hand diagram would be nice in addition to zoomed-in photos.
I was more thinking of buying another battery for the phone from ebay for about $10 and taking its gut out and putting resistors inside the battery so that the batteries voltage would be the same. This way, if I want to make long travels in my car with Sprint Navigation on the whole time, the battery would continually get power from the car charger and put out the same voltage for the PDA device.
I am worried about the original battery having a device-recognition chip in it to regulate the charging of the battery or stopping the charging if the battery gets too hot. From what you are describing, the battery does not seem to have an internal chip that can regulate battery activity or turn off the device when the battery gets too hot. I hope this is the case of my new Sprint/HTC Touch Pro (I used to have a Sprint/HTC Mogul).
It would be nice to get a 2nd battery from ebay, take out its gut, and fit small resistors there, and render it as a "fake" battery. This way, I will be able to swap the real battery with the fake one whenever I have to use Navigation system in my car. And by attaching the car charger to the device's USB, I can power up the device through the fake battery without having to worry about battery drainage or turning off of the device from recharging and using the battery at the same time. Do you have any suggestions on how to do this or have you tried to do this yourself?
sorry about the pic, the forum wouldnt let me upload full sized version, i'll try to us a link instead and put it on photobucket.
I think the regulatory chip for lithium batteries is normally stored in the battery pack itself, you cant see it unless you peel off the plastic layer on the outside of the battery, also inside the pack you will find a couple of generic lithium cells, that can be replaced with same voltage/size cells from many other pda/phone battery packs, though it does require a bit of careful soldiering the cells to the regulatory chip and battery harness. BTW "AAA" batteries don't actually fit in the device, but i plugged them in via usb battery pack to the usb plug i soldiered into the device. I suppose it may be possible to fit 3 "AAAA" batteries in the device since they are thinner, but they probably wouldn't last too long between charges.
the reg chip probably connects through the middle 4 prongs that I don't use [+||||-]
So I'm currently using the Suarom ROM, and for the most part it's been working fine. Suddenly I have a problem. Last night I plug my phone in to charge and suddenly it won't charge. I tried with two separate chargers.
It's still a new phone, so I can bring it in for warranty work. I just want to make sure I take all the steps necessary to "un void" the warranty. I'm a Rogers customer. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
Theres a thread in the DEV section that provides instructions of how to completely un-root and restore your device to factory before you turn it in for services.
The only problem is, my battery is at ten percent with no way to charge. The strange thing is that when I plug the phone in, the charging symbol appears. Just doesn't charge. Any idea why that would be ?

Tried different chargers? maybe plug it up to your PC see if you can get some juice that way? i can see the cable/charger going bad before the usb port on the phone ( but **** happens ) 10 percent should be good enough to get your phone back to stock though, i did it at 7 percent not to long ago, you just cant play around you have to click and run and get it done so it does not die. then if it dies after at least you are stock and can just turn it back in. but to be honest for a charger problem i VERY SERIOUSLY doubt they will be looking at Software and roms. thast a defect, and i think they will just do a clean swap----JUST LET IT DIE so they can not turn it back on in the store..lol
Ya could have a derpy battery and the phones fine.

Yeah, I have tried three chargers with no luck. Haven't tried a PC yet but will after work.
So if I'm getting the lightning bolt charging symbol, odds are it'llbe the battery rather than the port?
take it to best buy or an at&t store....and just say, hey i think i may have a bad battery do you have one i can use to see if my phone will power on and recognize the charger after it is plugged in. then you will know, unless you have an extra battery just laying around.
I had a similar problem like this before. Try charging with the phone off.
OR
If you want to troubleshoot and isolate the problem, try getting an external battery charger and a spare battery.
If you charge your stock battery and it charges with the external charger, your phone may be the problem. If not, then it's the stock battery.
And with the spare battery, try charging it via phone charger.
These are the possible ways I can think of at the moment. Hope this helps!
Hi,
yesterday I bought a used R800i, the seller said I just need to charge the Battery. So back at home i plugged it to a charger an the LED near the power button startet blinking. First I thought it´s not a big deal but after a couple of hours it was clear that this is not alrigt. Even if i remove the battery the red light keeps blinking continuous (not 3 times or something similar, just every second once). I don´t know if it´s a software or hardware bug but could you help me to get it fixed?
best Regards
Lukas
It could be empty battery (but voltage level is not high enough to start charging).
Check with flashtool can you enter flash mode or fastboot mode (if you can, then it's probably empty battery)
If you can, check voltage level of battery with voltmeter.
It can be that motherboard is dead, but to be sure, you must know what is voltage level of battery.
For now, try leaving it charging, it might take some time (few hours or more) to actually start charging...

If battery have 0 volts then it's dead and (most likely) can't be charged anymore. You need new battery, so you can know is motherboard is working or not.
But that is just my opinion, and i could be wrong...
Maybe to try and charge battery from external source of 5V power , easiest way is cut some usb cable or take two wires from PC's molex connector (red is +5V, black is GND) and charge it for shortly (about 30sec-1min) and measure does it have at least 3.2V. Repeat short charging untill it does. If it stay on 0V then is dead for sure.
I was really able to charge the battery over a cut USB cable. I got it to boot until lookscreen (digitizer does not response) but then the battery turned hot and the Xperia shut down. I ordered now a new battery then it should work again

Digitizer not working could be faulty slider-flex cable or simply software error due overheating. You'll know with new battery...

Yes, that's slider flex cable.
But wait untill you get new battery. Then you'll know does it have more problems or it is working normally
Sad News, today I got the new battery and i was even able to boot up the phone, but like the last time i was able to boot it up the battery and the mainboard got hot. I think the loading circuit is broken. So there are two options 1. buy a external charger for the batterie or 2. sell the phone as rarely used on ebay
No really I´m selling it, even if i get a charger theres also the problem with the not working digitzer. Thanks for your Help but this is ways to big for me.

Sorry to hear that. Obviously problem is much bigger and hard to tell what is wrong without some proffesional look into it (lot of reasons for phone to get hot by itself - there is short circuit somewhere and that's why it's draing battery fast and causing overheating). I don't think external charger will solve problems.
Anyway, good luck :good:
Hi all!
So, I've got quite an annoying problem here. Whenever I plug in my phone (when it's at least beneath 50%, haven't tested it above 50%) it just drops like 20%.
The battery has only been in operation for a few days, it's an entirely new original battery I bought a previous week, means it couldn't be the battery causing it (I replaced it just for that reason that it drops when I plug it in).
So, does somebody know what the problem could be?
Battery: Can't be.
ROM: Possibly, but I've had it on another ROM too, sure of that.
Phone: Could be, but I can't just buy a new one yet.
Thanks in advance!
Bump
Isn't the battery non-removable? Or did you replace it at a support centre or remove the screws to get access to the battery?
From what it looks like, there is probably a short circuit somewhere in your phone's circuit board. There is also the possibility that the charging cable you are using is damaged/burnt on the inside. I recommend you first use a different microUSB cable to charge your phone to see if that solves the issue. I had experience with the latter and solved it using this method.
