Hi, i have problem with my HTC Desire. It's discharging even when it's connected to charger. I tried to change roms, but that didn't change anything. Any suggestions?
More detail and more testing needed. Doesn't really sound like a ROM issue so changing ROM unlikely to make a difference:
- Original cable? Or tried another cable?
- Mains or usb?
- Are you doing anything on the phone when it's charging and draining?
- Does it charge while phone is off?

I tried original and some different cables and i tried them whith Usb and wall chargers. It's discharging everytime: when i do something with it or when it's just lay untouched. When phone is off, the led indicator is orange, but battery still remain uncharged. When battery reach 0%, the phone isn't turing off. Sometimes it's just start to charge for about 1 hour.
Just sounds like you need a new battery

Damn, thanks btw
Hi again, i changed the battery, but it still discharge. And i noticed that when i connect it to pc, windows says that power usage in usb is too big. Another thing is that i can't flash my hboot.
Sounds like internal hardware issue sorry
Hboot it's separate, you need to be s-off to flash a different one. You shouldn't be worried about this now though. Phone repair may be the only way
My phone likes to reboot alot and then dies around 40 or even 50% so I think I need a new battery.

It decreased again? Or stayed static? Remember - Charging (even 1%) takes time.
It seems something is broken. :/

Got another MicroUSB Cable? Try with that. If it still doesn't work, I would assume it to be a hardware issue.

I (probably) have the same problem.
Got an HTC Wildfire a few days ago. Didn't come with the original charger & cable.
The charger I got is 500mA. Problem is, it's barely charging and sometimes even discharging (while it's plugged in)
I've installed a couple of widgets to look into it (Battery Mix & CurrentWidget)
Battery Mix clearly shows the phone discharging while plugged in (as a graph), CurrentWidget says it's getting under 50mA (ranging from 15-45)
Right now it's off & charging. The battery was around 13% when I switched it off. Waited about 30 min, then turned it back on, it was at 42%.
I'm trying to exhaust all other options before I go out and get new hardware.
I'm wondering why the charger is only giving it <50mA and wondering if the problem lies with it, the battery, the cable or the phone itself.
Hey,
I installed MIUI again after using Virtuous Unity for a while. And i used this kernel lordmodUEv6.6-CFS
THe problem i have now is that my battery won't charge
When i put the charger in the phone tells me its charging but the % is still dropping. I have no clue what it could be and i hope u guys can help me
I tried wiping the batt stats but that didn't help.
#######################EDIT##############
All is fixed now!

Does the phone charge up when switched off - does the light go green after a few hours??
Have you tried a different charger or charging via USB just in case your charger is faulty?
I removed the battery and let it out for a while. All seems to be fine now.
I can recharge via the charger when its on and off.
But i can't charge when connected to the pc
Good news that it is charging now!
What happens when you connect your phone to the PC?
It asks if i want to connect the usb storage device to my pc, Or if i want to on;y charge.
I can pick both of them and both show me my battery is charging... The funny thing is it isn't really charging
So the charging animation is there, But the battery just runs down instead of being recharged
For better understanding of your problem, please install current widget, simulate the pc charge and attach the log file in here. In my opinion, try to install clean rom with default kernel.

Try a different USB cable.
Yes, I would also suggest to try another charger/usb-cable because they differ a lot depending if it's original or not.
Well I had the same problem, but not sure if u have the same one as mine. My problem was that my usb cable was ripped in the inside. the led light would light up but doesn't charge(the battery icon would animate,but doesn't charge). So I got two new brand new HTC cables, and now it charges perfectly normal. Try uzing a new cable.

It was indeed the Cable i changed it and now its charging perfectly again.
Thank u guys so much for the help <3
when i connect the normal charger to the phone, the charging light appears and the phone does not charges! on USB to laptop its ok, the phone charges , but on normal charger it does not charge...
any ideas???
I'd say the problem's most probably with the charger. Try using a different one to see it the problem still persists.
but why does the charging light is on ? and the phone says it's charging... ?

Its definitely a problem with the charger. One loose connection and it all goes hay wire!!
The light stays on because some current IS going through to the phone....
Yes, sounds like the charger.
As a side note, I have an external power pack, and if I plug it into the phone (power pack switched off), the charging icon appears - just on the DHD, not on other phones/ipods. I have learnt to live with this as a minor anomaly of the power pack, but just goes to show that the charging logic is not particularly clear

dhussa said it. The charging light might still be functioning because of some little current going through.. although that might not be enough to charge the phone.
Just try a different charger to ensure that we are thinking in the right direction. If the different charger works it'll eliminate the possibility that there's something wrong with your phone. (Although I doubt it since it is charging via USB.)
yeah...well i still hope it's a software bug :-s since a saw a similar thread and a good battery calibration might just be the cause
oh well...thx guys ...
Well first it seems my phone is not able to charge anymore... (Not even with the .bat file it just loses power when I try that)
Some times it manages to retain some charge but it goes away really fast when the screen is on.
I have no time to flash the device due to the low battery and super fast battery drain.
The sd seems to fail randomly, some times it is recognized, some it is not.
When you plug the phone to the usb in a pc a message USB device could not be recognizes appears some times (not always).
Blinking red light some times, never goes to green, eventually goes to solid red but doesn't charge enough to flash it.
Could the battery problem be software based? Actually it has no OS, Andriod flashed, no boot and only recovery is cloclwork latest version.
Any suggestions here? Everything is appreciated since it may be dead... I want to test anything and well tell you what happened, at least use it for science =P
Go into recovery and charge from the mains with the original charger.
What happens?

I'm trying to charge it and now using the .bat method but it won't go over 3565mV which is not enough to flash it. =S Dunno if letting it connected charges even if there is no notification at all.
And I've tried that and after turning it on and checking it never goes above 3.5 and I read I needed at least 3.68, what can I do? reset battery stats? or something else? Can I charge the battery directly? like with some cables?
And also, the red led doesn't turn on. If I plug it toa pc it sounds like an usb is connected, but no led light. What can I do then?

I had the exact same prob. Change the USB Cable and/or the PC u are using. Mine was stuck at 3588mV. The cable of the SGS2 did the trick for me. It was my friend's!

That's an interesting option I'm gonna try it, but I think it may not work because I tried to charge it at work with 3 different cables and chargers and no luck still. Buy maybe it was just the fact that between the time I charged it at work and got home it discharged, I'm trying this tonight and tell you what happens.
No luck still, stuck at 3557mV and won't let me flash it.
Sometimes the phone even freezes in fastboot after some command tried.
How can I charge it then?
Hi Guys,
Before I start, I have read many threads (I think all) relating to this problem and I have googled, googled and googled.
My Device:
GSM Galaxy Nexus
Problem:
It won't charge. No matter if turned on or off. The battery stays always at 0% and when taking a look at *#*#4636#*#* it says "charging".
What I have tried:
- Bought three different batteries.
- Tried two different cables, incl. the OEM one.
- Tried two different wall chargers.
- Replaced the Micro USB port.
- Wiped, reset etc. the phone.
- Tried different ROMs and Kernels. (Yes, I am desperate).
Any advice what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance!
could be the pins not making proper contract with the battery

take look at any of the pins to see if they appear bent.

They look all the same. Not bent, not damaged, not dirty.
hmmm that is really all I can think of..
The fact that it says charging leads me to believe it isn't the port (like most people experience)

I have plugged my phone into my computer. It says "not charging" now. This message appears after a few minutes when I turn it on. Same happens when I plug it into the wall.
Now it's getting really strange. I didn't observe this behavior before.
Before I changed the Micro USB port, the message was >always< "not charging".
Now, after the change, it says for 2 minutes "charging" and then it changes to "not charging".
Did you replace the whole USB board as well, or just the port? It sounds like the USB board is bad.

Hi lowandbehold,
No, I replaced the whole board if we mean the same. I can't post links at this time because I am a new member of XDA, but you can search for "Dock Connector Charging Port with Flex Cable For Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250" on eBay.
UPDATE: Plugged it back into the wall. It says "charging AC" now and does NOT change to "not charging". Funnily enough, the voltage keeps dropping. From 2040 mV to 1961 mV in two minutes.
i'd say replace the device.
Unfortunately I'm having the exact same problem. I just replaced charging port literally just now and it still won't charge. It says "Charging" but it's not charging. In the Settings it says discharging.
Could it be the battery? I'm thinking of buying a new one and seeing if that works.

Has anyone found a solution to this yet? with mine it charged fine in the beginning, and then it would only charge to about 86%, and then 84%...then 80%...currently it will only charge to 14%. I can leave it plugged in for 48 hours and it says it is charging but will not go past 14%. it takes a few hours for it to charge from 0% to 14%, but then dies within 30 minutes of EXTREMELY LIGHT use.
I've tried two different batteries which both yield the same results. I have en external battery charger and can charge the battery to full (according to the light on the charger) and place it in the phone and the phone will tell me it is at 14% or 8% or something like that (which makes me believe it has nothing to do with the usb port).
I have explored everything I could think of on the software side. The problem started on Ice Cream Sandwhich, it didn't stop when it was updated to Jelly Bean, I recently rooted it and have tried a few different roms including stock roms and CM10. I tried battery calibration apps.
So far nothing has made a difference. Any Ideas?
Nope no solution has been found. I'm just selling the device (and telling them the problem, so far I'm selling it for $275 and people want it) and I'm going to buy an SIII or a One X
well, this really sucks...it seems that a few unlucky people (like me) have this charing issue...
I too changed my USB flex cable thinking that this was the cause, but nothing changed
the battery icon says charging, but the system says discharging
what a major p*** off, cuz I'm fed up of changing batteries all the time, I have 5 batteries
I hope that someone will be able to figure this one out, cuz its a real brain buster
Any update on this? My phone bought in July is also just started giving this problem. When it is on it simply will not charge. All these months I was using another charger with no issues. I have tried the following:
1. Using the stock charger
2. Bending upwards the male connector in the USB socket.
3. Removing the battery overnight
Nothing seems to work. When off, the phone seems to charge somewhat and charging icon comes on. But charging when off for about 5 hours resulted in battery showing about 50% (from 13%) but it drains very quickly. Sometimes when charging for 30 minutes (when off) and switching it on it shows 100% battery, but then still discharges very quickly. Sometimes it shows very low battery.
Also my notification LED is glowing red since about a month, even when phone is switched off. If I remove the battery and connect the charger, the LED starts glowing red - blinking, so it seems the USB port is providing power as sometimes the battery does show 50% and seems to last a bit from there.
What are my options here? I am on the latest JB OTA update which came around 14/15 Nov. In India, I will get no service from Samsung for the Nexus.
I am going to try a factory reset first and then next see if I can get another battery. And maybe I should return / cancel the Nexus 4 I ordered?
Maybe try wiping battery stats in recovery? I was having similar issues today with "not charging". I was plugged in to the wall with nothing, so I plugged into the computer... ADB enabled and device was connected as a media device. I booted recovery and wiped dalvick and battery stats, rebooted and now it is charging via usb and AC. Don't know what happened, but it worked for me. Hope it helps!
Thanks for the response. Well, I just tried draining out the battery (it took almost 2 days lol) till it would show shutdown warning soon after booting up and then removed the battery and held down the power button. I then charged it in 'off' mode for a few hours, I think overnight. I used the actual Nexus charger instead of the generic one I was using all this while. When I turned it on, there was about 40% charge showing.
There was another JB update which I managed to complete (leaving it on the charger). The phone seemed to work fine, but did not show a charging state, but suddenly the next day on its own when I just plugged in the charger, it showed the 'bolt' charging icon and since then it has been working perfectly.
Simply no clue as to how and why it started working fine. Probably the previous 14 Nov update had some bug which was resolved in the latest update or the latest update reset the battery stats or whatever.
I am more worried about my upcoming Nexus 4 which has a non-removable battery as to what I would do if something like this happens.
