I’m having battery charging problems with my HTC One XT, which seems to be a common problem for the HTC One X. The main problem is the phone seems to have trouble getting fully charged to 100% and hovers around the 75% mark.
For example, I charged my phone (while on) overnight (over 11hrs+) when the battery status was at 20%. When I checked my phone in the morning, the battery status was near 0%. So I disconnected the charger and the phone turned off. I turned on the phone and the battery status was 75%. Also when I leave the phone charging while it’s on, it’s seems to be discharging rather than charging and the battery status seems to get lower.
After some searching around the forums etc, here’s what I tried:
1. Disable Fast Boot via power settings
2. Set processor limit to at most 4.
3. Manual screen brightness
4. All Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connections are off.
5. Restarted the phone a few times.
My phone is rooted with X-Revolution ROM and is brand new and is only a few days old. What could be the problem?
So fellow members, please help me solve this annoying issue.
So my phone kept discharging when I kept trying to charge it with the supplied charger. It literally went down to 0% and the phone was empty.
So I decided to use my old charger from my Incredible S and my phone is back to 100% now after a few hrs of charging.
Seems to be working fine for now. Could be an faulty charger I assume.

I have a wierd issue on the new purchased TP2.
I am recently I owner of Tytn II, just switched over to TP2. Once I received the TP2, it came in a full battery status. Then I used it all up and then proceed to my 1st charge ( over 12 hours, with phone off)
Things happened after I woke up in the morning.
1. No lights on for charging ( I assume that's a new feature when battery is full, instead of charging when red )
2. once I turned on and shows only 45-50% of battery status.
So I used it all up again, and see if it charges on the this time.
I am just wondering if anyone have this charging issue.
Dude, you are not treating your battery correctly. The below link has some useful info. Especially the link in post 3 by Sjuust.

Btw, when it's charging, the status light will be a solid amber. When fully charged, it's a solid green. If there's no light, check your wires and stuff. Perhaps it's a bad socket.
Just doing a follow-up on the issue, the 2nd time not successful too
I tried and it worked only when I turn the device on to get a full charge.
Anyone think it's weird
Seems you mini usb does not connect propper. Try another cable, if this works you know the problem.
Or: press the male side of the mini usb each direction until you see a light burning. If this happens the usb opening in the phone is broken and you should get it fixed.
If this all does not work, still get it fixed. It's probably not the battery, but the usb opening in your phone.

that is very unusual as when phone is fully charged it stays on constant green light(led). at no time should it go off. unfortunately your battery may just need a few more normal charging cycles to achieve its full potential. if the led light goes off that is another issue! have you added any battery customizations?
Same problem here
I have - more or less - the same issue as D810Noob. My TP2 came fully charged out of the box. First time I charged it, the amber light was on during charging. Next morning no light was shown. I am not sure, but as I recall it, the battery was 100% charged. In the recent days, after one night charging (phone switched off) the green light is being shown but battery meter shows 89% (yesterday) or 91% (this morning). I have the 1% increment battery driver installed with the greenbatteryfix-icon installed.
This morning, after having switched on the phone and after having been confronted with 91% charge status, I reconnected the phone to the charger until it reached 100% (left the phone on during charging). With only two calls of two minutes in total and gprs (no hsdpa) running for two mail accounts, battery status dropped two 80% in 5:30 hrs. Never had such a drain with my TYTN2 that had (more or less) the same configuration.
It may very well be that my battery is not (yet) calibrated correctly, albeit that I fully discharged it last night. I will redo this a couple of times before returning to the shop, but this needs to be improved otherwise I will go back to my TYTN2.

Still having this issue. I have drained my phone completely yesterday evening until it switched off itself. Ten restarted until it switched off again. Then had it charge for forteen hours (phone switched off). When I switched on the phone this morning, battery meter showed 96%. A bit more than an hour later it shows 80%. Had no phone calls, only receipt of six emails and half an hour drive in my car with BT connection. BT is on continiously, BTW.
This does not look good, does it? Anyone who can shine a light on this?
Cheers, Dela
PS: the charging light was green when I took it off the charger this morning, whilst the battery meter showing the 96% charge status right after the startup.
Is anyone else having a problem with the touch pro 2 not charging fully when it is off. I have the Tilt2 and have tried many different ROMs. For whatever reason if i charge the phone while it is off, it only charges to around 96% or less. I do have the 1% battery driver installed and i can not figure out for the life of me why it will not fully charge. If i leave the phone on, it charges to 100% but at some point i get a message telling me it disconnected from the connection. Can anyone help. Thanx
Same issue :-(
me too. Same problem
There's been several threads on this. The general consensus is the battery stops charging when it reaches 100%, and then begins to discharge. I've noticed the same behavior but haven't found a fix.
Very odd
The weird thing is that I have charged my phone while it is off and one morning I wake up and turn it on and it is at 91% then the next morning it will be at 100% then the next morning itll be 86%. I usually turn it off around the same time and turn it on around the same time. I cant see it starting to discharge if there is only an hour possible time difference. REALLY annoying lol
Icon issue with charging and Battery level
I have an odd issue. I am running the stock ATT rom until I can get the stupid phone to take the HardSPL (different issue being worked on).
The icon at the top shows the battery at full capacitiy all the time. I have Phone alarm on and it has a battery indicator that shows it as low as 20% while battery icon is still 4 bars full. Also there are times when I remove it from the usb and the charging icon stays on instead of showing the battery icon. If I soft reset then it seems to go to normal and the charging icon is replaced by battery which seems to always show full.
Hey XDA, I just purchased a new AT&T SGS3 and I'm having some issues with the battery on the phone.
When I charge the phone overnight it charges to 100% then when I unplug it, the battery drops tremendously in about 5 seconds down to anywhere from 50%-75%. I tried manually recalibrating the battery by charging it 8+ hours, removing the battery, charging again while off, charging it again while on, then restarting. That seemed to work for one charge and the battery acted the way that it would have on my Nexus S.
However charging it again after a full battery drain, the same thing happened.
Also when the phone is low on battery, it displays the normal battery messages, but then the screen stays on, draining the battery faster.
Solutions? I want the root the phone, but only after I have these issues sorted out. (I'm still under warranty right now)

Did you try a reset of the phone through the settings ? After that try charging to 100% then drain completely and then recharging without break then use the phone mormally and try to recharge only when it hits 10% remaining for the next 2 or 3 charge cycles and see if that helps

Looks like a bad device. I would send it in if i were you.
A few weeks ago I rooted my phone with the latest version of TWRP and installed Liquid Smooth as my OS. I haven't had any problems with it until today, when it died (as expected, since I did not charge it for a few days) and I began to charge it from 0%. I began to charge it and noticed that it charges ridiculously slow even from a wall outlet. The bigger problem is that the OS detects a different battery level as the recovery tool. For example, I can leave my OS booted up while charging for 30 minutes and it will display something like 20% battery. Then if I shut it off the battery icon and the recovery tool (TWRP) will display anything ranging from 0-20%. It is random, too. One second it could be 15%, then next time I reboot it might say 5%. The problem then is that when I boot up the OS, it uses the percentage that the recovery tool displays. So if I shut off the phone when the battery displayed 30%, then next time I boot it up it will display the battery number from the recovery tool (anything from 0-30%). I have been charging and rebooting my phone for an hour now and it should say something like 60% but it only reads 21%. Is there any way to fix this? What happens when my battery really reaches 100% but my phone keeps charging it because it thinks it is lower? Is this dangerous? Any help would be appreciated.
Even after charging my One M8 all night when I unplug the charger, it will shut down within 10 seconds unless I connect my external battery pack in time. When I reconnect a charging supply (mains or battery pack) it will show the green battery charging image and usually around 95% charged. So it seems to recognise the charge, but the phone doesn't think it's enough to keep operating so shuts down.
Background:
I was on Sense but I flashed to GPE using the RUU.
In the last couple of months I'd had my battery pack connected a lot (Pokemon Go!) as the phone was shutting down at 20%, so I was keeping it connected to the battery pack a lot.
Is there anything I can do 'fix' the battery or would I be better off trying to install a new one?
Thanks
HTC M8 Shutting Down With 100% Battery SHowing
My phone does exactly the same thing. All the 'fixes' listed to date don't make a difference. I've noted a factory reset doesn't do it either. Has anyone found a reliable fix or is it time to trash this phone?
