Don't charge from usb and use original cable and adapter.

My other hox is fine using the same charger/usb
Are you on the latest cwm 5.8.4.0? Earlier versions had problems charging when off.

This may sound weird or I missed something,but lately the charge on the phone drops DOWN after reaching 100 while still on charger.
Like this morning I woke up after having the phone on charge all night. The battery symbol showed it was fully charged and wasn't being charged no more,notification light was on to indicate the charger was connected,but battery status widgets all indicated 96 percent battery.
No CPU intensive program running in the bg. If I remove the charger and reconnect it,charging starts again normally. Tried it on two batteries. It's a o2 desire. Using original charger.

The Desire will charge the battery if the battery level drops below 90%. This can extend the lifetime of the battery.

is this a fact? that it will charge it back? Cuz I never was brave enough to let wifi running cuz in the morning i still need the phone and sometimes i have several giga avi files to transfare.
That's new for me,will give it a try and report back

I see the same behaviour. Using JuicePlotter, I can see that overnight the battery will drop from 100% to 90% before charging back to 100%. It does this over a few hours.

I dont think this is true as I managed to deplete my desire in 24 hours and it was still connected to the charger.
Sorry,tried searching using my app but couldn't find one. Thanks for pointing out.

Hi I tried searching for this using the xda app but didn't find anything.
I think I have noticed that when charging the phone once the battery is full it doesn't maintain the charge if left plugged in, you have to unplug and plug the charger back in for it to start charging
Any one else found this?
Cheers
Tom

It's a feature on the Desire. It's to prevent the phone battery from overcharging.

That's a real bugger as I normally charge overnight so its good for a full days use, but that routine isn't going to be much good now.
Thanks for confirming though

basically what happens is, if you charge while the device is on, when it reaches 100% it will quickly discharge to 90% and then charge again till it reaches 100%, it will follow that cycle until you unplug it
Ah that makes a lot more sense
Thanks for letting me know

Hi, I have been using Runnymede for around 2/3 weeks and I've been noticing that my battery goes down quite fast..
As a heavy 'texter' I'm glued to my phone when I'm not in School etc. the battery isn't very good. Losing percentage fast.
Simple things like watching a video makes the battery, for example when on 94 go to 89 in around 5 minutes..
Is there any way to fix this or is Runny ROM better for battery life?
Cheers,
Jon.
Yeah runnymede battery life aint the best, its the same with most sense roms. Make sure your battery is properly calibrated and i think i seen it in some post that Droidzone has a created a kernel to help battery life with the sense 3.5 roms. Maybe google droidzone and have a read at his site. Also sebs op for runnymede has links to kernels.

Just had a search into how to calibrate the battery.
I'm assuming it's the first one that tells you to:
'Hi *******, I understand your concern regarding battery life on your Nexus One device. The following steps should significantly extend the battery life on your phone. 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. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. 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. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it. You need to use this sequence only once. If the issue of battery life on our phone persists, I recommend you contact our HTC accessory department directly.'
I'll try this when the phone gets fully charged.. I'll post the progress when it is
Yeah erm i usually power off the phone, fully charge then reboot, use it till it drops down bout 3%, power off and fully charge again THEN once charged fully boot into recovery and wipe battery stats then reboot and it should be calibrated.

I can't believe there are still people who consider that a calibration.
That bump charging won't do anything, and batterystats.bin gets wiped either way when indicator goes over 90 threshold. That procedure is to be performed only if you are can't stand the look of apps in your battery usage monitor under settings.

The only real calibration for Desire is that one described in theGanymedes wonderful guide. Note that calibration is never to be used to increase battery performance. That scenario is not going to happen.

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.

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

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

I know this has been asked several times but i did each and every thing still no luck.
So basically my problem is that the battery indicator is stuck at 100%. It doesn't show any battery drop and suddenly turns off when the battery is completely down. When i connect the charger and the phone turns on it sill shows 100 despite the battery is completely empty. The only way to charge it is to shutdown during charging. Even after disconnecting the charger the phone still shows hundred. It is very irritating issue because most of the time it shuts down during calls.
Tried flashing different roms, kernels, hard reset, wiping battery stats, calibrating battery and every possible solution but sill no luck
Is it a charger issue, battery issue, software issue or hardware issue and is there any possible solution to It?
I know that my post is so long but you cant imagine how frustrating the problem is. I mean the phone is almost unusable as a phone
Honestly, its kinda very annoying. My battery e.g is 98% then maybe 96% after 3,4 hours and i was very happy. And then all of a suddent 1% drop every 2seconds and takes to 70%.
Not sure about the problem though.
Nokia 3310 coming ^_^

Atleat your battery level drops. Mine is always stuck at 100 or sometimes 99 but never below it

By hardware I meant the phone charger which provides current to battery. But I am not sure. You can try a different battery if that helps.
Same problem here...
Can anyone post the output current of your stock charger? My charger says 5V 1A output. The 1A part seems to be the real cause of problem.
Someone please post your charger specs.
