"1800 Mah" Battery doesn't stop charging

i bought a " 1800 Mah " battery and it never stops charging even when it reaches 100% the charging sign stays on when plugged in. Anyway to stop this from happening ?

Does this happen with the original battery, too ?

Yea got one of them.. for silly money.. so if its too cheap its often not worth bothering. On the one I bought it the capacity was crap to.

It's a kernel issue. No fix as of now.

This is not a cheap replacement battery without the proper charging circuitry problem?

Non-HTC Batteries have issues with the kernel. They cant communicate the attainment of 100% charge.

Link doesn't pull up the charger but it's probably the same ones on eBay with the pink and blue led light. Not bad for the price but it takes a LONG time to charge!

Beware. Been many reports that non-OEM charges don't fully charge the battery and they shut off at 85% or so.

About 6-7 hours....not a problem if you only have one spare battery...but you need at least two of them if you have four

The contacts that make the connection to the battery came loose and were just hanging out of the little holes....I opened it up and fixed them back in place using a soldering iron....don't think anyone else would have gone through all the effort for $2.50....but I like tinkering with things....

[Q] My battery is broken, right? [SCREENSHOTS]

Take a look at these screenshots.
My battery is f*cked, right?

Looks like it's broken, I had the same issues with my previous battery.

Yep, its dead. I had exactly the same... Got me a mugen power battery, and my phone is as new now it takes a week or 2 before u get it, but its well worth the wait and u get a 1600mah instead of the stock 1400mah, with the same dimensions. Not like the bigger, extended 3200mah battery, where you need a new back cover. Check it out

Would you agree it'll be better than my BROKEN stock battery? -_-

It is better as ur broken battery, dont worry. As for the 85% problem, i noticed that too. Phone at 5% batt with 3,7v remaining when it should shut down at 3,2v. But i use the nexus one batt calibrator's learn function to give my phone additional amps when needed, as long as i have enough voltage fcourse. That way i can use full potentional of the battery until i take the time to find a better solution to properly calibrate the mugen battery

Speaking of that app, I have no clue how to use it. Probably no use with my broken battery anyway, but regardless, how does it work exactly?

A new original HTC batery will only cost you €15,-, so I should go for an original one

i usually charge it over the night ,, i sleep and i put it on charge i wake up its fully charged

Welcome to the mobile world.
My guess is that recharge as fast as a laptop battery, although they have power sources and disipate more heat, as a down side

30000mAh true capacity

Hi,
Do you able to verify that the actual capacity is really 30000mAh? Thx

I personally prefer Anker battery packs as they are decently priced and I have seen very good quality out of them.

I have been using an N7000 for 2 years now. A great phone - but the achilles heel has definitely been power. I had three bateries for it. Got one of those fat aftermarket batteries with the phone cover - it was absolutely useless - I don't think it even held the equivalent power of 33% of an OEM battery. Picked up another aftermarket battery similar in size to the OEM battery. In fairness, that hasn't been too bad - it's only in the last few weeks that it seems to have tanked - cant get much of a charge on it now.
Even with all of those - when I would go away travelling, there still was no comfort. I would have to curtail the way I used the phone. It's for that reason that I've turned to this power bank.
Only received it yesterday - but it seems to be exactly the same as the OP's. Charging it right now.
@Warnahly: Has the power bank retained its integrity since you first started using it? In real terms, what do you suspect is the real power storage of this device (if we are to work on the basis that it probably doesn't strictly live up to the 30K mAh description?

[Q]Charging

Hey guys, I'm having a problem. So recently, I have been noticing that my charge is much slower, then I realised that even though the charger is plugged to wall socket, the charge speed is as of a USB charge. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Pristine way right? How that can be happening? Maybe you can use fast charge from google play, as sir arco make it compatible with his roms. But actually it is not necessary to do that as you plug in to wall socket. But you can give it a try.

No. That's battery calibration apps. This is fast charge app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.org.winters.android.gnfastcharge
Before connect to charger, open the app, give superuser permission then on it. The plug your charger. It should change to ac charge. Actually it function as if we want to charge it using usb and plug in at laptop, or maybe in car that have usb. So we don't need charger that can plug in the car. Give it a try. Cheers

Don´t belive in what some apps are you showing. Take a DMM and check the voltages yourself. Your charger should output 5V and your battery should have 4.2V when it´s fully charged and something between 3.0-3.6 when discharged.
Myabe your charger is dying or its the battery. Either way no software will fix this, nor whiping battery stats which Android is doing on each reboot, nor green Android ghosts.
First check the voltages and try an other charger. Secound if needed replace the battery against a new one because it may also be the battery which is dying where it´s internal resistance is growing and so reducing the charging current.
The max charging current should be around 0.7 x capacity as charging with higher currents will decrase its lifetime.
It´s not worth using FastCharge. Neither for the lifetime nor for the risk to get your battery exploded, as this is growing too with higher currents.
Currently cargers are dirt cheap. You can get one with 1Ampere output for around $3-4. A replacement battery costs about $10-20.

I recently bought a new battery, which ironically is $39 for a non-original battery, whereas the Samsung battery was charging $52... I think the cause is the charger, it has been relentlessly supporting me for one and a half years and I think its time to say goodbye to it.

Yes, I have had already a lot of chargers dying. Disassembled them all and they all are using the same circuit. They are made dirt cheap and it´s production costs will be about 50 cent. The only better quality circuit I came across was from a charger made by Sony. This one was even worth to be repaired but if it comes to the other cheap ones I´m just throwing them away and replacing with new ones.
Just wounder why the batteries are so expencive in your area.
