Charging Battery Problem HTC

I've tried and installed a few ROM's from this website and since today I can't seem to charge my HTC when the battery is running low.
Whenever i put it on Charge on the cable it won't show the charging icon on my phone and it doens't gain any energy.
This is what happens:
When i plug my phone to adapter the "ring" on the HTC touch diamond glows 3(!) times which means it charges it for aslong the ring glows (3 times). But after 3 glows it doens't glow anymore and which means it stops charging.
Also when the device is OFF and it stops charging after 3 times the ring glows (about 10 secs?) i can press the ON button and it charges it again for 10 seconds. The funny thing is that it also re-starts itself automatically every like .. 1-2 minutes and shuts off again.
Does anyone know why this happens? Please help
Thanks

have you tried replacing the cable, cradle or even the adapter? Check their contacts or pins carefully! Maybe you got dust particles in there.
Oh, does it get charged upon connection to your computer? Are you using the same cable?

No it doensn't get charged when i connect it to the computer. And yes i tried several other cables and connected them to computer and adapter but still not charging.
I really don't know what to do

hey buddy if u r using htc diamond i m sure after changing the rom u wouldnt b able to charge from pc bcoz some cooks use a tweak which disables charging through pc...do one thing download advanced config 3.3 or 3.2 then go to power management u can find a option to enable or disable charging from pc....

When the phone is turned off put it in charge then turn on your phone,go to backlight options and there should be "When device is turned on,do not charge the battery when connected to the PC" untick this then re try

Yep i done that, but my phone can't get charge from anywhere. Not from USB to PC and nor from just putting it in the adapter.
I'll tell what happens:
When i plug my phone to adapter the "ring" on the HTC touch diamond glows 3(!) times which means it charges it for aslong the ring glows (3 times). But after 3 glows it doens't glow anymore and which means it stops charging.
Also when the device is OFF and it stops charging after 3 times the ring glows (about 10 secs?) i can press the ON button and it charges it again for 10 seconds. The funny thing is that it also re-starts itself automatically every like .. 1-2 minutes and shuts off again.
It's a weird problem and I'm really stuck with this and don't know what to do. I'd prefer not paying 30$ to buy another battery if that's the problem. If anyone else has advice then PLEASE give them.

Maybe is the cable...a normal mini-usb cable is good..and i think you could buy one of them at a cheap price

I've used short, long, medium cables, and I've also used different sort of adapters but nothing seems to work.
The only thing that COULD be it is either something wrong in the ROM or the battery.

First time i heard of this.
1) It wont charge from the adapter or the pc via usb
2) The charging led shows action for a short time then stops
When the phone is OFF it should charge regardless of what modifications have been done to the operating system since the OS is not active.
Have the phone inspected especially the mini usb port, i think its not just the battery.
It could be either the mini usb port or the battery or the charging circuit in the phone needs a part to be changed.
It looks like a hardware problem.
On the flipside, wherever you get the phone inspected bring the battery with you and see if it will charge on their universal chargers.
Most cellphone techinicians have a universal charger which will charge any battery even without the cellphone it was designed for.
See if it will fully charge and then insert it into the phone.
Now if the battery did charge fully and the phone doesnt have a hardware problem, then you can conclude that its the rom.
Go back to standard official rom from HTC and observe if its behaving normally.
But im betting there is a hardware problem.

Me either...
Sometimes i get the same problem, but i keep on trying to charge, acn then it do!!! you have to be persistent.... leave the phone pluged int AC over the night... try to remove the battery while charging... one time, it will start charging... THAT IS what happens to me... (after upgrading rom and spl)

Same Problem With my Orbit 2
I am having the same problem. Now my battery can be charged just with the universal portable charger. I take out my battery from Handset and plug it into Universal Charger. Actually my problem started after the uninstalling the Android Nand.
After that I tried different roms but problem is still there.

But you get the Popup on connection, and the Charging Notification on the Status bar as well?
EDIT: Try this, Turn off your phone, Remove the battery, SIM, SDCard (ie: everything), Place for 10-15 minutes, then reassemble your phone and try again

It decreased again? Or stayed static? Remember - Charging (even 1%) takes time.
It seems something is broken. :/

Got another MicroUSB Cable? Try with that. If it still doesn't work, I would assume it to be a hardware issue.

I (probably) have the same problem.
Got an HTC Wildfire a few days ago. Didn't come with the original charger & cable.
The charger I got is 500mA. Problem is, it's barely charging and sometimes even discharging (while it's plugged in)
I've installed a couple of widgets to look into it (Battery Mix & CurrentWidget)
Battery Mix clearly shows the phone discharging while plugged in (as a graph), CurrentWidget says it's getting under 50mA (ranging from 15-45)
Right now it's off & charging. The battery was around 13% when I switched it off. Waited about 30 min, then turned it back on, it was at 42%.
I'm trying to exhaust all other options before I go out and get new hardware.
I'm wondering why the charger is only giving it <50mA and wondering if the problem lies with it, the battery, the cable or the phone itself.

charging issue

hi, i hav been facing charging prob, my does not charge whn its remain on rather drains batt more quick but it was charging whn i turn it off but slow. i thought its the issue of sense 5 so i degrade to sense 4+ viper 3.8 but it got worse. idrained my batt and than put to wall charge for whole night but the charging led kept blinking and than it disappeared than again i unpluged and plug the cable to phn than it starts blinking and than again blinking of led disappeared. i thought it will take time to become stable so i left it charge for whole night. in the morning led was disappeared and i tried to turning phn on but it did not respond. than i plug it to pc and it started blinking without disappearing of led. i left it for the whole day to charge but the led didnt turned to green due curiosity i turned phn on and batt lvl showed 20% ......so plzz any 1 tell me wht can be the solution of the problem plzzzzzzzz:crying::crying::crying:

You probably have a dead battery...Someone who has seen this problem before could confirm.
The way you write is pretty hard to read, so you might wait a while until someone does confirm this .

1. Never charge the phone for the whole night.
2. I had the same problem. I changed my charger and now, it is perfectly charging. Try it.

thanx for suggestion, how much do i hav to pay for a new charger??

But you said you left it to charge via USB cable on your PC and it didn't charge properly. If you used the same USB cable with the charger, then the cable might be to blame. You should try a friends cable before buying a new charger.
If the charger does not work with the same USB cable you used to connect to the PC, your battery is most probably dead.

Charging all night isn't an issue.
The battery will charge to 100% then drop to 95% and back up, will cause no damage.
Also smaller and often charges are better for the battery as it slows the formation of crystals so the battery holds its capacity longer.

If you have used 2 different cables to charge and none worked properly, that is probably too big of a coincidence. Your phone has something broken; it's either the battery or the charging circuit in the phone. You should take it to a specialized phone service to see what's wrong. They will also try charging it before disassembling, and if there's nothing wrong with the phone, they probably won't even charge you anything.
If indeed they have to disassemble it, you should ask them if there will be any visible differences once they assemble is back. I had a cracked digitizer on my old One X and took it to service and replaced the display+digitizer(they come together) and, although the screen was new, it did not fit as snugly as before, so you could see light leaking out the side margins of the display.
They probably had many of these phones under repair and should know if this will be the case with your phone.

Yeah i didnt even got the solution yet .But i notice that problem doesn't occur when charging through pc but it charges slowly.I also tried factory reset and even battery calliberation but nothing happened.i will take my phone to care...

HTC desire 816, ! mark while charging.
Experiencing same issue. Tried different charger, no help.
I dont prefer pc charging as its slow and phone discharges quickly.
Any workaround or any solution?

Sounds like some fault in the battery circuit that is limiting charging current. I think a PC uses anywhere from 100 mA to 500 mA but a charger or USB port wired to AC outlet can use 1 A or more. I wonder if advanced wiping of cache and formatting internal data would reset it?

are you using Customized ROM or Stock..?

Did you ever figure out a solution to this issue? My phone is doing this exact same thing and it's super irritating.
I bought a new battery to try replacing it and see if that helps, but I am not a phone tech and don't know about taking the back off of this phone to replace the battery. Hoping someone might have a different solution or at least tell me that changing the battery will in fact help (and then I'll go to the trouble of doing it).
ETA: My phone hasn't been rooted or anything. Was working completely fine. Still works fine except for this charging issue.

It's not that hard to remove the back cover. The plastic is very durable so you can't really break anything. I think there is a youtube video and a few descriptions here on xda. Basically you start @ the SDcard slot using some sort of pry tool to pop the plastic cover off as you go around the phone. Just beware that they use a lot of sticky tape on the bottom half of the phone so it takes a bit more effort to get the cover off. I used old credit cards for my pry tool. Some cut up into strips and other time a whole card to break the sticky tape connection.

Charging Problem
i am having same issue since last day....
i tried full wipe and installed a new ROM and it still having the same issue....
i m out of warranty and any way to fix this issue other than HTC official service..?

I have the same problem. Did anyone find a solution? Would a battery replacement solve this frustrating problem?

Despite replacing USB power board & Sim/Microsd holder still cannot get charge

Hi guys
Just cannot seem to get the thing to charge.
Tried different charger/usb cable. Got completely new USB power board. Sometimes the battery icon comes up on the screen when i turn it on of just a battery with a bit of low red at the bottom of it. It won't turn on. Theres not even a charging beacon light on top of the phone to indicate charge.
What does this usually show? Bricked phone, bad motherboard or bad battery?
Cheers.

Is the error that comes to screen
"USB not supported"?

not getting any error mate. It is totally dead.
I did buy a new battery which had 4% life left. Not enough to copy 64GB data to an SD card.
It seems it must be the main board which is damaged. I have replaced the power board and the middle ribbon cable. This has to be a mobo issue unless u can think of anything else?

I still don't think that's mobo issue. Try this before you intend to replace your mobo.
Plug in charging using any charger other than wall charger. Use a power bank or anything and when the battery icon shows up that you described in first post(the red icon) leave it there as it is and let it charge over night. Try powering up in the morning.

I dont get any icon on the screen when I plug a charger in. Even the powerbank... When i plug that in I get no beacon light on the top of the phone to indicate charge and also no icon on the phone screen. The phone never gets hot when it charges and the charging device never gets hot. Stone cold both of them.
What do you reckon?

I think your phone needs a doctor ?. Take him to the hospital (service center). Last resort before going to service center is take the battery out and charge it using one of those battery charger.
