Desire not holding a charge - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with this phone a while back after flashing a new rom (mildwild I think) my phone started to shutdown at around 80 or 70%. I've tried charging it a few times but no luck so I tried my spare battery which I think worked at first, it lasted till about 20% but then it started to shutdown at 80 aswell. I gave up and got a new phone but I like to try and get this one working again. I've flashed it back to stock gb with the ruu but it's still the same I don't think it's charging the batteries fully as after only about a hour the led turns green.
Anyone have any idea's on what's up with it?
Thanks

The same thing has happened to me so basically you need a new battery because yours could be old and check if its bloated.

I was thinking about trying another battery but they aren't that cheap. It seems odd that the 2 batteries would stop working around the same time tho.

Question with battery

I purchased the official Seidio 3500 mah batteries for my evo and the wifes evo. After a full charge, her battery under normal usage all day and night is at 57%. My phone after a full charge and barely any use whatsoever was at 13% after an hour..... We are both running Azrael x3.0 rom with the newest htc kernel #15... any suggestions?? Maybe my new battery is faulty?? I would expect this from ****ty ebay batteries, but not something official!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Try eliminating a variable by swapping batteries with your wife....then use your old one again.....if both work well then you have your answer......

Swap batteries ... if hers only lasts a short time in your phone then issue is with the phone. Then you can start troubleshooting.
Edit: Ha I was a few second to slow!
Ok I will give that a try.... I noticed in the battery left widget when I go to usage, the very first one says "running" 84%, and I click on it, basically it is stating that the phone isn't sleeping when I lock the phone..... could this mean that the everything is staying on when it should be sleeping?
Thank you for tips!!

Switch batteries with your wife.
EDIT: I guess that was too obvious! We must have all hit return at the same time!!!

Ok after being on the charger for all night, I unplugged it, and really haven't done anything and I dropped to 90 % within 8 minutes.... I haven't had a chance to try my wifes battery yet, but im thinking this one is definitely faulty...
Why would android system be at 63%???

Dropping the first 10% quickly is not a certain indication that its the battery....your battery charges to 100% and then, begins to be used up to 10% before it charges again.....so you could have been lower than you thought you were originally ...thus making it appear that you dropped 10% in minutes.....if the remainder of the battery does this then I still recommend you try swapping with your wife to eliminate or confirm

Ok well I just wanted to say thank you guys for your advice, but I think I figured it out.... I think that some things within the phone were not getting along. I flashed the SBC-Net-4.2.2-more-havs kernel #11. I fully charged the phone, including bump charge, and I left it on for about an hour or so longer, and I have been unplugged for 1:44, and my awake time is 45 min. I am still reading 100%!!! So I think I am good to go....
Thanks again guys

[Q] G2 Takes 13 hours to fully charge

okay so my G2 takes about 13 hours to charge to 100% and then when i unplug the charger my phone reboots and it loads back up and the battery says 0% and dies. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Do I just need a new battery?
obviously not normal, and definitely a rare incident. almost certainly means you need a new battery

That joke flew way over your head..
LOL @ Ionic.
It maybe a few things....
I had same problem when I had my behold II and it had problem with OS (stupid 1.6) I had to get a replacement phone after I went to the tmo store n tested the battery using battery charge widget n guy went like yeah that's def not battery n called in replacement phone.
I also had same issue when I flashed cyan on my G1 incorrectly and same thing with Cliq xt.
Try fully wipe(especially battery stats), flash OS, don't flash any apps n try to charge the phone also try different Rom.

First of all, is it rooted? If yes, what rom do you have? You have custom recovery?
If not try this. Charge the phone and when the green led is on power off the device and leave it to charge for another 1 hour.
No it is not rooted. The problem is that the green light never appears because it doesn't fully charge.

Will do. I have never let the battery drain completely. Do you think that can be a reason why it's not charging. Thanks

Same problem
I had the same problem with one week old VM One V. Charged to 80% and no more. Discharged (auto turned off at 10%) and it charged to 100 one time. Then charged only to 84%. Discharged again, went down to 6% before shutting down. After a couple more cycles, including unplugging after "full" charge to 84%, then replugging and getting to 100%, finally two days in a row woke up to a green light and 100% from a 20-30% level at bed time. Only issue now seems to be two widgets show different battery levels, e.g. 63% on battery monitor widget pro, 53% on Elixer pro battery widget. The icon at the top looks more like 60%.
Not rooted, waiting a while. Love the phone, wish it were dual core, but runs as well as my Droid X and much better battery life. Nice design and feel.
have you resolved your issue Relgozen??
Yes your advice was very helpful. Should I continue to charge my device only when the battery dies?
Thanks again

if you dont need it fully charged everyday then yes, but i wont say never charge when you only have x amount of battery, because my phone goes on charge @85% sometimes
Ok thank you

So now that the problem went away I was not afraid to root my phone. Now, my battery is saying it has been on 97% for four hours. It is rooted. Any help? Thanks
UPDATE:after resetting the phone about 5 times the battery indicator went back to normal. Sorry for the extra post

[Q] Battery charge problem

been searching these forums in hd section but cant seem to find what im after, Basically when my phone is charging i notice that it starts to charge normal.. but as it gets to around 60,70,75% it will automatically jump to 100 and tell me its full..
ive tried calibrating the batter, discharging it fully. charging it back up but it still results in the same problem. anybody heard of this before?
thanks

more than likely you need a new battery, this was happening to me last week and stopped when I replaced the battery
I'll second that statement, your ur for a new battery. If your going to by from eBay I'd suggest being careful, some batteries from there are not very good.

It's a hard one to answer, usualy you get what you pay for as in more expensive the better but not always the case, rip off, counterfeit. Genuine is always best.

Lol I see your point. Might be best to look at the reviews on the seller I guess

Battery not discharging properly

Since installing 4.4.2 my battery isn't discharging, at all! It's been stuck on 100% for the past four days. I haven't really used it much since but the battery should be way down by now.
Isn't that a good thing?

Are you still having the same issue?
Because I think I'm maybe having the same problem.
My tablet keep shutting off at 40% as if is 0%. It all started since this past weekend.
My tablet is unrooted ,try to search the web for a solution but haven't found one yet.
I'm trying avoiding to do a factory rest because I read the issue still persist.
Everytime I recharge my tablet it stay a long time on 100% and the moment it reach 40% it shut down a,msg appear saying battery low and shut off.
Also take note I've read about those app calibrator but keep reading that a myth.
Let me know if your still having the same problem?
No, I actually fixed the issue. Believe it or not I used a calibrating app and Root Cleaner and did a full clean and it appears to be working as normal now. I'll add later which battery app I used, can't remember the name.
EDIT : Actually it was just Root Cleaner. It has a batter calibration setting.
