Hello XDA,
I am experiencimg some problems with battery of my phone. Yesterday I discharged my phone to 0% and a few hours later I connected phone to charger. Red led was shining and phone has 2% of battery after a while.
This morning I woke up, led wasn't shining at all and the level of battery was 5%. I tried to use phone but after minute level changed to 3%. So I turned it off for 20 minutes while charging. Red led started to shine. Later I turned it on and phone had 94%. Led is not shining anymore and it's discharging. Connecting to powerbank did't solve the problem, phone behaves the same way.
I'm using Maximus HD ROM 21.1.
Could it be SW problem or is battery just dead?
i faced the same problem. even i flashed maximus hd rom and now the phone is not charging anymore. cant flash new boot as the charge is too low.

Hi All,
I have been using my Desire for the past month. One thing I noticed after I rooted and upgraded my phone to 2.2 is, the battery cannot be charged to 100%!?
I had plugged my phone to a wall charger and let it charge overnight. When I woke up the LED on the phone is green but the battery widget says the phone is only 96% charged. Regardless how long I left my phone plugged to the charger, I still have 96% only.
A temporary solution for this issue is to unplug the phone, switch it off, and charge it again. The LED will become amber when I plugged in, and turns green after 30 more minutes of charging.
Is it normal? Or is it ROM-related? I have read the batter calibration thread and followed the instruction, but it doesn't solve my problem.
Thanks for the help in advance.
yes i think its in the default kernel.
I have the same problem
It charges to 100% but then stop charging untill the batt hits 90% then charges again
In the past i have the same question...here is the answer

I had my new HTC Desire 3 weeks ago. Those last days I plug my HTC to the charger overnight and when I take it back in the morning the battery is only up to 92-93% and the led is green, like it had a full charge. If I unplug-plug the device, it will resume charging, this time up to 100%.
Is this a normal behaviour for a battery 3 weeks old?
How can I fix this?
This is normal behavior of the phone. It charges up to 100% and then stops until the charge drops down to 90%, at that point it starts charging again up to 100%. This is what you have noticed, there is nothing wrong with your phone or the battery
This worked, even though I am no longer worried about it.
1) After green light unplug phone and wait 10 minutes
2) Shut phone off
3) Plug back in till light green
4) Turn back on
Poof, 100% but other than that the above post is correct, not a problem. I bought an extended battery for mine. 3,000 mAh and have no problems.
Hey there,
I tried to calibrate my battery the last few days...
There where so different descriptions on how to do it right.
But well at some point they all said to charge the phone turned of ( well it automaticaly jumps into recovery, right?).
And it was said charge it till the led goes green.
But I think it never happens in my case.
In one case I fully chagred my phone powered on and then turned it off, plugged it in again. The red/orange led staied there even after 3 hours...
The other day I fully discharged the phone and wanted to charge it in recovery mode. So I plugged it in, the red/orange led began to flash, recovery booted and I went to bed. About 10 hours late I woke and the led was still flashing as before.
I had no patience and turned it on. With the system running it tells me, that its at 100%.
Turning it off again unplug and replug it will show the red/orange led again but not flashing.
Its a european desire z (germany)
On Virtuous 0.9
With clockwork 2.something
Any ideas? Should I have been even more patient to see the green light in recovery? How long could it take?
Thanks,

It seems the question of how to charge the battery pops up at least once a week now, with the same misconceptions. There is no such thing as calibrating the battery. All you are doing is calibrating the battery meter (just a volt meter) on the phone. Li ion batteries cannot (and should not) be calibrated or conditioned. The best way to calibrate the meter is to charge the phone to 100%, drain to about 20%, repeat a couple times. You should not discharge the battery below 20%. I cover it a little more in depth on the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11026655&postcount=7
I don't see any advantage to charging the phone while its off (except that it will charge faster, of course). I always charge mine while its on (with screen off).
I don't know why your green light is not coming on. Mine comes on after the phone has been charging for about 2 hours or less. But I am on the stock ROM, so its possibly something to do with the ROM, so you might have some better response by searching or asking in the Virtuous thread.
Yeah I know that you just calibrate the voltage meter but its just easier to say battery calibration.
Well maye the misconceptions occur because there are plenty of different answers spread and its easy to become confused. I just avereged over these methods and the consensus was to change fully while turned off.
The only way I could think of loading in recovery is better, is that the software prevents loading when it thinks battery is full (but in fact it is not), but I relly dont know.
And you say even after deleting battery stats there is no need for discharging till shutdown (to show the limits or anything)? To reset on full battery is enought?
Thanks,

does anybody know how to delete battery statistics of the Desire Z ?
I want to calibrate battery and delete old stats.
Thanks & Greets
Well, your problem first if that you said you had recovery 2.x and that if you turned it off it automatically jumps to recovery.. you seem to have the first recovery that the power off feature wasnt quite working well.. upgrade to a 3.x then like the above user said but drain the battery until it reaches %15.. thats when the Connect To A Charger popup shows up.. and charge to 100% and do couple cycles of these..

I am bit confused with the battery charging !! Tried to search on xda also. I am using mildwild rom, which is based on CM7.1. The led of my phone goes green as soon as it is 90% charged and stay green even after 100%. I guess that is normal with all Desires. But recently I used and application called "easy battery saver". I noticed that it has 3 charging modes as follows:
1.) Fast charge
2.) Continuous Charge
3.) Trickle Charge
As soon as battery is charged 100%, the mode changes from fast to continuous mode, after 15-30 minutes mode changes to trickle charge. If I use follow this app I get more battery life !!
But question is why does HTC Desire led glow green when the phone is not full charged ??

The desire when it was completely stock, used to charge to 100%. When it was still plugged in for 2 hours at 100%, it would rapidly depelete the battery back down to 90% and start charging back up to 100%. The light would remain green during this process. You could find if unplugging it in the morning during this cycle, that you only had 90% battery (very annoying).
Anyway, its a legacy in AOSP Roms that they go green at 90%. Its sort of a bug that many people cant be bothered with. There is a fix for it. MildWild implemented it I believe.

On my HTC desire ( with stock rom) the led gets green when charging current get lower than 80mA. The charge continue for one hour, then a discharge current of around 120mA takes place until the charge is 99%. Then a new charging cycle starts : this is what generally named as ''Trikle charge''
I never noticed that the trickle charge improve my battery life.

They may have changed things. When the desire first came out when I got it, it didn't trickle. That's what the rapid deplete was used instead. You could clearly see it in system panel.
Maybe enough people moaned and they addressed this in a software update. But clearly the underlying led issue is still there

Hi
My 8 months old HOX will barly charge. It is like its using a lot of battery all the time. When connected to wall charger, the red LED lights. When I trying to turn it on, it has maby 2% battery, I have tried to let it charge for 8 hours, and 10 minutes, still the same. In the status bar, it shows the phone is charging, but wont gain any more battery. Im losing 100-200mAh, even when the phone is in stock wall charger. I have tried connecting to laptop, but there, I wont even get the phone on there. Early today, I got a warning, somthing about connecting to a battery eliminator.
Im using Battery Doctor to view the battery percentage, and Currentwidget to measure the current.
My phone is rooted, running Revolution ROM
Thanks
