HTC Desire Shuts Down at 30% Battery

I need help. My HTC Desire keeps shutting down automatically at 30% battery life. And when I power it back on, it stays on for a while then automatically shuts down again. The same happens when I havent fully charged it and its still in the charger.
It does the same with both my batteries.Is this a fault or a type of security feature? Is there a way around It?

definite fault - have you flashed it or is it the stock rom ?
either way, it's not a 'feature'

I'd be seriously pissed off if that was a security feature.
Are you rooted?

If you're rooted with ClockWork, go into advanced menu and reset battery data.
Seems to me that the info regarding battery usage, cycles etc has been corrupted.
Could be because you're changing batteries.

I might have experience similar issues. Last week my battery was approx 30% when my desire suddenly shut down.
After a while I was able to boot into Android but it immediatly shut down again because of the low battery.
If it happens again tomorrow, I'll try wiping battery stats.
Please report back if you find a solution.

Hello!
It is the same for my Desire. It also goes off with 20 or 30% power left.
I have a rooted device. I wiped battery statistics via recovery and as a result - now Desire shuts at 30% (but before it happened at 20%)
I am using Modaco r3.1-bravo-desire-modacocustomrom-withadditions-a2sd+
This is really weird.....
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Guys, which rom are you using in your devices?

Had no issues on r3.1 MoDaCo but I'm using my own ROM (check sig for link) now and haven't experienced a single problem with the battery.

wipe your battery data and fully charge your device from ... (dont know how to say on english,sorry ) - i mean, not by USB cable.

wall charger

Full charge with the device powered off.

Last week I wallcharged when the device was off and I was able to drain it down to 16%.
So it's good.

Thank you for advice! Will definitely try.

Any luck with this? I've ran juice plotter and watched my battery drain from 23% to 0 in 10 minutes.

Shutting down at higher than, say, 1-3%, means that either the battery has defective cells (not sure how likely that is here - only seen it on laptop batteries) or the meter isn't calibrated properly. Most of 'em recalibrate once they've hit empty, so if it's the latter, it should theoretically resolve itself. Anyone know if there's a possibility to recalibrate the meter on Android (full charge, full discharge and then full charge)?

That is really weird!
Once I charged Desire (when it was switched off) with the wall charger - I was able to work till 7%. I was happy and thought that the problem has been solved.
But I was too fast!!! Yesterday Desire switched off again at 27%.
Totally frustrated.....

Weird problem ain't it. I managed to charge up my phone to about 15% after it died and it slowly died like it would normally

I guess to rule out software you should clear the battery info. Do a full charge (some say with phone off), do a full discharge and then a full charge again.
A full charge-discharge-charge cycle should, at least in theory, make sure the software knows what's up.
And to be sure, use your battery in another Desire if possible. If that one shows the same behaviour with your battery (and obviously shouldn't have any troubles before) it must be something with the battery.
Or! Just start nagging at HTC and get yourself a new battery with some nice social engineering

on earlier ROMS(custom as well as stock) my desire used to shut down at 14-15%
but with insertcoin 1.14 its shutting down at 25-30%.....real pain int he ass
I have also calibrated the battery by emptying it and wall charging but no luck..
any solution guys?

why people dont think that this is a real problem im trying to search for a solution from more than 1 year but there is no permanent solution ,,,, many phones have this problem ,,, !!!!!!!!!!! very strange

Use usb connection with pc to charge your phone: it's long time but the best way
Try to delete battery stat from recovery also

[Q] about my battery

ok so i got a problem with my battery
my battery on my phone just going out to fast
for example today
i connected it so it could reload and then
when i disconnected it was 100%
then after 2 hours only that i havnt use the phone i mean havnt touched it even once
i look again on battery life and here it says 36%
and it keep going every day
can some1 tell me why it keep happening???

WOW! That's a major drain in 2hours.
My 2 cents are on a defective battery - since the phone was on standby.
You can try some tutorials on adjusting the power saving settings (like screen brithgness what to turn off and not etc.)
Also you might try caibrate the battery.

there is a thing like u charge it to 100% ,unplug from the charger and turn the phone off ,then plug in again and charge to 100% again... there is a thread about it on this forum, do a lil search it might help u

Dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to battery and find partial wake usage, here the apps are listed that prevent the phone form sleeping and thus causing battery drain. Also check the % under Settings-about phone- battery usage to see what app or process consumed the most battery.

Does it get very hot? I mean - if the battery really contains 1500mAh (which I doubt in this case) and drains completely in 3 hours, that's 500mAh, so 3.5V*0,5A=1,75W continuesly.
You really should notice that while it's in your pocket...

no the phone isnt getting hot
i mean it can sit on my pocket for like 2-3 hours and then it suddenly 3x %
without even touching it

Try these steps:
1. Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged.
2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.
3. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green.
4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green.
5. Disconnect the phone, power it on (OPTIONAL: Enter Recovery at this point and Wipe Battery Stats (from Advanced menu), and use it. You need to use this sequence only once.
If that does not solve it you have a defective batterie.

ok i will try it
but can u tell me what the point???
i mean what does it do??

The point of that, is to make the battery life longer. And actually it works. I tried when i bought my phone an the increase was significant!
Edit: Just saw in another thread that some newer custom ROMs has some things messed up, and they eat the battery more than normal when the screen is off. You might take a look at it.

yea i did all the steps and its not working
the battery still going down rapidly
so i should buy new one??

Yeah.
BTW, are you on a stock rom?

srry
no idea what stock rom means
but im on miui rom

[Q] Charge time from 0 to 100 ?

So... I'm calibrating my battery. Charged it to 100%, left it run down to 0%, and am now charging it back up without any break. The problem is... as soon as I plugged in the charger when the phone powered down, the charging battery icon came up..and it wont go away. It's been like this for 2 hours.
I'm hoping the device is actually charging and isn't just frozen or something; I don't want to turn the device on as that might hinder the whole calibration thing.
Question is: Does anyone know how long it takes to charge from dead to 100% ? I need to know when to take the phone and see if it's actually been charging this whole time

Actually that happened to me last night let it charge for a lil bit unplug the phone take the battery out and then put the battery back in and turn the phone back on with the power button and it should turn back on

Yeah I'd battery pull but can't mess up the calibration process. I know it's charging because the device is somewhat warm in the back and the display can't stay on for this long unless it's getting juice...
I'll battery pull if necessary in a couple of hours, or tomorrow morning. But seriously, this thing better be charging ಠ_ಠ

So it's morning, the device charged, but I did have to do a battery pull before booting it up. All is well :}

Yeah, I had this issue too
Wondered WTF was going on as I couldnt turn it back on whilst it was charging and the battery logo stayed on even when I unplugged it
Was resolved by pulling the battery and powering back on
OP hows your battery doing now?

When I did a full charge from the point that I ran the battery down until the phone turned itself off, it took approx 140min for it to charge completely to 100%. That being said, I'd give it 2.5hrs max and if it still isn't showing it as being done charging, then there may be a problem.

It's caused by the bad cwm. We need a fixed cwm.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Battery was at 27% at 2:47pm. Been turned on since 10AM and playing music for about two hours with screen turned on for 2h 15m. Was in airplane mode for about 2hours as well. No es bueno imo, compared to what I saw before. Might be the new rom/kernels I flashed; even though they were supposed to significantly increase battery life.
..ah well who knows lol

Has this issue been solved? I just rooted my phone, installed CWM, and different ROM. Whenever phone is powered off and I try to charge it, I cannot turn it back on without battery pull. This wasn't an issue with stock phone.

Battery drains fast when charger plugged in - Urgent help!

I have a odd problem. I have the Leedroid custom rom with its kernel installed, and it seems as when i plug in the charger that the battery DRAINS extra fast instead of CHARGE. I have no idea whats going on. The red LED light is on as usual but when i turn my phone off for a while and let it charge and then turn it on i only had like 5% battery left when i started charging at 20%. What do i do? Is this some kind of bug?
I dont believe that i cannot charge my phone, but im afraid that if i leave the charger in my phone will become completely drained of battery and that i then wont have any option left.
Please help me, my phone only have 5% battery left, and if there is something i can do before the battery drains completely, tell me as fast as you can!
Thanks!
/Joel

Never mind, i got it to work. It seems as if the battery didnt get enough electricity. Probably because i got the charger hooked up to a powerstrip whom also have a halogene spotlight connected to. That was on. The phone died and when i tried to charge it the red light flashed. So i turned off my spotligt and tried bashing the powerbutton.
The LED started to statically glow red and the phone turned on. I almost panicked because i rooted the phone yesterday and have only had the phone for like 1 and a half week.:angel:

In this case it wouldnt have mattered since i charged the phone while it was turned off, but as i just wrote, i found out what the problem was. Haha :laugh:

Phone charging >> on/off?

hi.. should i turn off my phone when i charge it?
because when i turn off my phone and charge it, it stuck at 97%, it won't go fully 100%.
but when i turn on my phone and charge it, it can fully charge 100%..
does it mean my battery start to get bad?
and with this litium battery is it true that if we use it until it completely depleted the battery will go bad?
i know that every energy storage (like battery) has lifespan, what i wanna say is, if we use the phone till the phone drop dead (battery completely depleted will shorten it lifespan?
thanks
and i bought this phone bout a month ago

Happened at my stolen device also just like you said, but not experiencing with my present device redmi 1s (bought used device from someone).
My stolen device use stock miui 5 rom, i remembered install repair battery life app from playstore.
And somehow it worked, dunno if it caused by the app or not, you can try tho...

Yes, like i said, "just like you said" about the device,
And im currently at cm 12.1 r4 and since the first cm 12, its the opposite
You'll not have issue with stuck at 97% charging while power off, but you'll stuck at 3% while using phone (no charging), never reach 0%.

No its not going bad. Its normal for the charging to slow down alot at 97% since overcharging is bad too. Just unplug and use it once its >95%
And yes its very bad for lithium batteries to go completely flat, and their lifespan will be longer if you charge it more often - that is a shallower discharge depth is better.
