I own a HTC wildfire. I have some issues with my battery and I can't pinpoint out the reason, these are the issues:
It rarely charges to 100% unless I let it charge for a while and then reboot the phone. But it'll drop really quick
If its charging while switched off and I take the charger off, the charging light will stay on indefinitely
The battery goes really quick, in 90 mins my battery charge is now 38%
When switched off and charging, it never gets the green fully charged light, but if I switch it on it'll say 100%
Do I need a new battery?

Hi All,
I have been using my Desire for the past month. One thing I noticed after I rooted and upgraded my phone to 2.2 is, the battery cannot be charged to 100%!?
I had plugged my phone to a wall charger and let it charge overnight. When I woke up the LED on the phone is green but the battery widget says the phone is only 96% charged. Regardless how long I left my phone plugged to the charger, I still have 96% only.
A temporary solution for this issue is to unplug the phone, switch it off, and charge it again. The LED will become amber when I plugged in, and turns green after 30 more minutes of charging.
Is it normal? Or is it ROM-related? I have read the batter calibration thread and followed the instruction, but it doesn't solve my problem.
Thanks for the help in advance.
yes i think its in the default kernel.
I have the same problem
It charges to 100% but then stop charging untill the batt hits 90% then charges again
In the past i have the same question...here is the answer

I have browsed the threads on the issue with the bump charge, but not a lot of people complaining about it so it made me think there was a fix. I cannot find the fix if it exists. The only issue I see people complain about is the length of time it takes to charge, but I'd rather just get a FULL charge with the phone on instead of having to charge it while its off....
I haven't heard much about it in a while, either, but did notice this with 2.2: Bump charging still works (as in, the LED turns red again when I turn off my phone and charge it) but the charge doesn't last as long as it did on 2.1...UNTIL I plug in my phone again. Then it takes a while to charge back up to 100, but then stays charged. It seems like bump charging now tells the phone that it can hold more charge, but it doesn't happen until you charge up the phone again while it's on.
I get a lot better life just charging the phone while it is off, at night.

People at androidforums reported much better charging on the ruby 1.1.1 rom.

thread title is Battery Recalibration
im trying those instructions. I hope that deleting the battery stats will force the phone to "bump" charge while still turned on rather than turning it off to get the extra juice
I've tried the battery recalibrate thing, didn't seem to do much for me...
...
Bump charge still works.
The kernel lets the battery charge only so far, and if you really really really think about the bump charge solution, it is simply "charging with the power off". Then the kernel is not so much in charge.
Ironically, if you charge with the power off, and then you turn it on but leave it plugged in, you will start expending the battery even though you never unplug it. It will ultimately settle at the level that a powered-on-not-bumped battery would settle at fully charge.
Everytime my phone reaches 10%, the phone will shut down itself and it won't turn on again.
i have tried bump charging and calibrating the battery but still without success... anyone got any soulutions other then buying a new battery?
thanks.
Try this: fully charge the phone then let the battery drain completely, until the phone shuts down. Plug the phone into the wall charger, let it charge for a minute or so then turn the phone on while still plugged into the charger and let it charge completely. After a full (100%) charge, the battery indicator should be precise.
I've noticed that if i restart the phone of plug it in after charging, the battery indicator will show an extra 10%, so that's the main reason for the shutdown at or a little below 10%.
This operation should be repeated once a month, just to keep the battery and the battery stats fresh.
Don't wipe battery stats and don't try any other calibration tweaks. They might damage the battery. There are some people here complaining about that.
If the phone still shuts down at 10% after the above-indicated trick, then your battery might be old and in need of replacing, but i wouldn't replace it just because of a 10% indicator error if it can still hold a proper charge.
I have the same problem. I also calibrated my batterie and everything but it still turns off at ~10%.
But since I know that, it's not really a problem
Its always turned off at ~15% for me. I accepted that this was normal. I've seen a lot of posts around but no one seems to of found a proper solution. I actually doubt that there is a proper solution to this.
Punched in..
snq's kernel? I take it is normal with it as none of the GB sense rom managed to come even near the 1-2%. A bug with the kernel probably.
Flashed Oxygen last week - bam, phone turns off at 1%. No calibration was needed even .
Every time this happens to me I charge it 100% then I reset battery stats. Then let it discharge threw normal use then give it a proper charge, plugged into wall charger, not PC.....! And once its 100% ignore green light check it says 100% on the top bar then I unplug. Its normally always sorted then. But I have had to repeat twice in the past.
I also agree about kernal, often after updates it goes bonkers, and I'm on miui, lots of updates

Mine also used to turn off at ~14%. After using a battery calibrator, i could push it down to 7%. However, on the other "side" of the scale, it goes down qute quickly from 100% to ~92%. All this on GV2.8, and the unofficial ManU kernel 2.1.1.

Just wipe battery stats in recovery after full discharge if you changed ROM, and then let it charge to 100%.
Used the battery calibrator app (for nexus one) with detailed instructions. Now batt lifeis awesome, turns off at 3%.

This works great for my Desire, and it turns of at 1%

I had the same issue on my stock Telstra branded rom. Since changing to cyanogenmod it hasn't happened since.

Hi all,
My One X charges strangly I think. It charges really fast from about 80% give or take. It should charge slowly (given the nature of the battery). When it says the battery is charged, I unplug the device and within 15 minutes or so the battery is already at 90%. I have a feeling that the device somehow think the battery is fully charged while it is not really the case. Could this be resolved by doing a factory reset so that the battery stats will be removed? Or should I seek some other solution for it?
I'm currently on stock 1.28.xxx.x, the same problem occured at 1.26.xxx.x.
In the attachment I made a sketch of the behaviour of the charging
cheers

Same here. Tried the factory reset after the 1.28 OTA, but am still getting the same pattern.

Someone said battery was improved after about 3weeks use. So 7days! For me left!

The green charging light goes on at ~95%. When the phone charges all the way to 100%, it disconnects itself from the charger until it goes back down to say, 95% again. When it hits 95% it will then charge itself back up to 100%, and this cycle will repeat. That's why sometimes when you pull the phone off the charger it is down to 90% or 95% or whatever sometimes within a few minutes.
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.
