Battery jumps

Hi guys!
I have question.
When i have charged my HOX, and just normally use it, it looks like it jumps from 100 to 99, to 98, to 92!! It just stick to 98 for a while, and after that it jumps to 92 (just an example). I am on leedroid's ROM atm. Is this a common problem?
Thanks!

I'm on stock ROM and using battery widget monitor and I get the same think, guess it's just they way the system reports the battery percent. Had the same issue on my Sensation ad well.

Hmm, i think a software tweak can sort this out. Saw there is a tweak for sensation too right?

When you charge your phone it will charge to 100%, then take itself off the power source. It will then deplete the battery to 90-95% and then go back on the power source until 100%, and repeat. This is why you have those jumps in battery percentage. Once it charges to 100% once, it will be "fully charged" even if it is in one of those discharging states.

Yeah I've got the software set to one X, it seems to report the mAH drain correctly but the percent still jumps.

jepp have the same problems. Let's see if it will be better after a couple of charge cycles.

Same problem here

Same here.

It once hung on around 41% for around 5 hours when i had the screen off/on very occassionally to check emails/reply. And then it jumped down to 34%

[Q] Is it bad to keep One V connected to charger

I don't want to go too much offtopic in the PACman ROM topic as my questions have no more nothing to do with ROMs, so I make a new topic, maybe too asked, but with One V, is it safe to keep it plugged to charger all night, I mean does it make any bad things like ruin battery or something, no I am not talking about overcharge, but still should it be good, or is it bad to keep the phone plugged to charger all night so it would be ready at 100% on morning. I did read that batteries dont actually charge 100%, said it charges usually about 90-95% and that is why the first 10% will drain faster as it really is 90% instead of 100%. Is this the thing what happens with One V too, so can i keep it plugged in charger? Does it make battery life worse?

leaving your One V charging overnight IS Overcharging...
So... no, it's not a good idea to leave it charging overnight...

Everybody says its not the good way to charge the mobile over entire night. Haa haa from 6 years I do keep charging my cell over entire night. It doesn't make any difference to me.

I still am doing this and i think it it doesnt overcharge, but i am wondering does it make battery life worse as someone said so. If not, i guess i will continue my current way to charge, but i do know it doesnt overcharge. The thing i want to know is does it make battery life worse.

I agree. It's not good to overcharge

Now, what I found was:
"HTC One V - battery charging questions
Should be fine, the batteries use Lithium cells and have pretty good built in overcharge/run down prevention. They are designed to be left on the charge overnight and collected in the morning. They will charge rapidly over the first 1-2.4 hours (assuming a 3hr charge cycle) then slow down. Eventually it will just bounce off 100/99% as it charges/discharges." - from HTC...
"This "smart charger" is built into the phone. It slows down when it gets near capacity. In fact I think even the LED light goes green to indicate it's full at around 95% if I remember rightly (I read it on XDA."
"Advanced state-of-the-art internal circuitry protects the HTC One V from power surges, overcharging, and short-circuiting, to significantly extend the internal battery lifecycle."
"Is it OK to leave my battery plugged in, even if it is fully charged?
Yes, it won't hurt it as long as the battery doesn't overheat.
Source: http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-14A.htm
Should I remove the battery from the charger when full?
It does not matter. The charger automatically cuts the charge current when the battery is full."
So, after all that, whom to believe?

sooo after all experience is to believe and your surrounding persons and their experiences.. I've got my friend's note's battery swollen soo i wouldn't take a risk.. after all its your choice

Honestly I've owned a galaxy vibrant, Huawei ideos, vs2, optimus v, and this one v and I've charged all over night and none have suffered battery life issues. In my opinion no not a big deal lol

why would you need to charge overnight? are u on stock? in that case you might as well leave it overnight to charge......FYI my One V takes only 90 mins to go from 10 to a 100%

Correct, if it's fake then you need to put in the bin and buy a genuine battery.

Seriously, if your phone still gets warm when you switch it off, I would throw away the battery as far as possible...
Don't you mean standby (screen switched off)?
It still shouldn't get warm when in standby, but then atleast it could be a software problem instead of a possible faulty battery.
Maybe some app keeping your phone from entering deep sleep which drains the battery and might be the cause of the battery drain as well.
Check which apps are using the most power, or just simply factory reset your phone and see if the problem still exists.

If you bought your battery for $5 off eBay or something then chances are its a fake.
If you bought it from the Sony store then of course it's real. (and you should get it replaced)

I have original battery i ordered it at my operator from germany and it was 30€. When phone is turned off it drains battery. So if i flash kernel and wipe all should help?

If the battery still drains with the phone off (not screen off) then it's advisable to get a replacement.

its second day after new battery and i noticed that the phone is less heating but still drain battery but not in large amount so i will wait one more day. if wont be better if will root it and decrease processor to 1ghz

and i found another problem. if the battery empty so the fon shut down itself when i connect the chrager it dont start to charge and i cant turn on phone. it take like 3-4 hours to start charging...

I had a similar problem with my sisters galaxy mini... after a few days the only solution that i found reliable was to send it back for repair since it was warranty covered...

first, make full wipe in CWM, if there is problem again, test battery on other phone

htc one x discharges although being charged

I think the screen explains this perfectly... any ideas?

What are you using to charge?

Make sure you are using the original charger. Also try wiping battery stats

Wipe ur battery stats, drain ur battery then charge uninterrupted till its full, drain and charge again so that max and min battery levels are well calibrated. A battery app like battery doctor will help keep ur battery in giid shape.

Perhaps is there another reason. When you install a new rom, you must wait several cycles of charge/discharge to have a good battery life.
So, interrupt his charging cycle isn't the best way for battery life. And yes, you must wipe your battery stats to.

Now my battery died, when i plug charger, sometimes led blink 2 times with red light, and it's over. I will replace it. I pray for battery issue, not motherboard. What do you think about this problem?

I had the same issue under Sense 5 roms.
With the phone on and charging I never reached more than 60% of battery even using battery optimizer.
The solution for me has been back to a 4.2 AOSP Rom (ICJ in my case) and a couple of cycles again my battery works as usual.
I tried again with a S5 rom and the issues are back, so I have to use no Sense 5 roms if I want my battery right.
You can also try to charge in Recovery, that worked for me, to wake the bootloader.
Hope this would be useful for you.
Cheers.
PD. Sorry for my english

Have you tried a stock sense 5.0 rom?
PS. Maby we have the same HOX cause of same problems

I´ve tried ARHD & MaximusHD, both with Stock kernel and Alex-V S.E. 2.1
Always with the same result.

This week i found something that seemed to be a issue like the one reported here. My phone goes without battery before i got to sleep. I got my phone to charge on the Wall charger (HTC OEM). When i woke up i figured out that my battery only charged up to 15% (Froze at 15%)
It is the second time this has happened since the Sense 5 update (OTA Update).
Never happened before.

shuts at 36-40%

hey......friends my desire always shuts down at 40% of battery when I fully(100) charge it.....I want to know that if it is a battery problem or phone defect?

If it's still the original battery, it's very likely due to battery aging
You can try to properly calibrate the battery (NOT by wiping the battery stats), there is a proper method which is supposed to work. But this doesn't give it extra live, just tries to reset the readings so it displays correctly. It will simply appear to drain faster, but hopefully shut down closer to 0%
My advice would be to buy a new battery, make sure it is an official one or from a reputable seller with good reviews.

thanks dude.....i will try changing battery if it works
