Good morning everyone,
I'm not sure if this is a common issue, or it is just me. I often use my Z1C for torrenting and streaming while pluging in the charger, but the instead of charging, the battery keeps draining. is it a normal thing? sorry if this looks lika a dumb question, i'm really a noob around here, hehe
thanks in advance for the response
If the phone requires more power than the charger can provide, it'll drain. Straight logic.
From USB port you can gain to 0,9A. Your phone drain in normal usage when screen is on 0,5A. But if you use your phone more than that it can drain about 1A-1,4A so you need normal charger minimum 1,5A or higher.
While charging, streaming n downloading make ur phone hot and the phone itself stop charging or control charging current thats why it behaves like that.. It is very fustrating and in cm u will get rid of it..

Hallo
I make an extensive use of my new touch pro 2 as modem, so battery is drained very quickly.
Is there a chance to power the phone, by means of some special cable, without the battery inside ?
Many thanks
I would say this is possible.. But may require some heavy edits.
The reason I say this is because when I was running Android on here, I could remove the battery with it plugged into the wall and it would still run (not sure if that's healthy for the device or not, though).
Why not just use the wif router app and plug it into the wall charger?

If you don't have a wall charger handy I would think a USB battery pack would be able to supply enough juice to keep you going for extended periods of time. Get one that runs on AA's and just keep a bunch of Eneloop AA's handy. Works better if you plug it in to keep it from getting drained instead of trying to use it to charge it. Something like this one:

Here some clarifications.....
My internet use is mainly at home. So I have always a wall charger available. The reason I would like to power the phone without battery, Is because I've heard that charging battery while using it, may stress battery and reduce its life. Same result if you expose battery to frequent charge and discharge cycles. That is the reason of my initial question.
I've read that special power cables are able to do the trick, but I coudn't find anywere.
Thank for your help anyway.
thought i wanna share this everyone but i noticed that my battery is wayy off, its showing the green light and its showing 98% but im using the WIFI Router does this still mean that the battery is out of calibration, today is only day 2 but ive been noticing that this morning, charged it on USB on PC and the charging light shows but when im on opera, instead its starting to drop little by little....what can i do to prevent this from happening

It is possible to drain the battery faster than the charging cable supplies power, especially if you're plugged into a USB port (which supplies much less power than the wall plug). Things like wifi sharing in particular can do this (it takes a lot of juice to broadcast that signal!), possibly even just running data over your 3G (like with Opera). The battery will get even warmer than usual when this is happening, and I suspect that can also reduce it's lifespan.
Hi,
I read somewhere that you shouldnt play games on your hox while its charging, (or any device for that matter) but then i thought there cant be any truth to that or you wouldnt be able to use your laptop while its plugged in.
I normally only charge my phone at night and while its charging i generally play a few games or browse the web in bed before i go to sleep (this can sometimes last several hours if im really into a game).
Recently ive been getting the green/red LED notification light, which informs me that my phone is too hot, at which point i pull out the charger, wait for it to cool down and plug the charger back in. This is now becoming very common, and i get the LED notification after about 10 minutes.
Have i ruined the battery?

It is not recommended to overheat your HOX ... the processor is safe, but not the other parts of the phone. Just dont do it until we dont receive the next update (2.xx.xx) that solves the overheating problem (thats what i read from guys that already thesting this leaking unofficial update in a custom ROM.
Just dont do it if you want to be on the safe side
Ah that makes sense. My old phone definitely overheated and developed yellow spots. I'd game a lot with it plugged in too

Is there any official word from HTC that says shout battery charging when running games or navigation software?

This is what I would like to know.. if we have an automatic protection to prevent the battery from over heating by stopping the charging process and if we also have no word from HTC about it so I have every right to consider myself in the safe zone.. if something happens to my device because of overheating no one can say it is out of warranty
My concern is using phone as navigation or for gaming during charging - I can't imagine this phone working whole day as navigation because of overheating of battery... So I cannot do what I want with my phone because:
1. Battery drain is heavy during nav/gaming, so I have to charge, but:
2. Charging when nav/gaming will cause overheat and it will be stopped, so I will not be able to use phone as I want
As stated above it would not be advisable to play while charging.
Sad isn't it? The battery drains pretty fast when you play some GPU intensive games, and you end up not enjoying
If you can get a good kernel and manage your battery wisely there would be great improvement on your gaming time.
If you can play while unplugged with lowest brightness that would definitely help.
my 2 cents
If I can play in my mind I will not drain phone battery...
My M8 could not be fully charge with any power brick.
It charge my phone before I go to bed and when I woke up in the morning the battery was 52% and the charging rate is very very very slow.
My portable Battery, Sony F2L (Out 2A) which is a very quick charger, is barely supply enough power to maintain my M8's battery but not charging it.
At first I thought it was the cable, but after I change several power bricks and cables. (Power brick: Sony 2.1A, Stock HTC, Asus, LG, UE 2.1A and Cables : BlackBerry and Sony)
The problems still persist. And today I saw the power gauge dropped, while I plugged-in with Sony Power Brick.
The only way I could make it to 100% is to switch SetCPU's governor to "Power Save" mode. Normally I use "On demand" since I got the phone and I never have a problem like this before.
Please help me on this.
M8 Thai Model already RUU convert to GPE. Running GPE stock 5.1 and rooted.
Here is my battery stats. As you can see the battery slowly drop while I was charging.
I have tried battery calibration and the problem remains.
It seem after i sleep my phone for a while the signal will be drop and drain the battery. I have no idea why this is happening
Please anyone help me on this.
You have an app or something keeping your phone awake all the time.
That line for Awake should not be solid green like that. Your phone is never going to sleep.

Also searching....this seems to be a very complicated problem. You are not the only one with this issue, and it has symptoms of both hardware and software fault. Which makes it incredibly complicated to deal with.
I am bringing this thread back to life because I started having the same problem and am looking for an answer.

Not at all....I managed to greenify or even disable any app that was wakelocking the device.
But it seems the system itself is causing the battery drain. That's if the battery drain isn't caused by hardware, since I am having very weird symptoms....such as loosing battery while phone is powered off connected to the charger.
Hi guys. I'm using this mate 20 more than a month now, and it's great. I haven't got any problems, but every time when supercharging it, the phone heats up itself. I don't know really if it's some kind of problem or normal reaction. Charging with the charger in the box. The phone is not in use when charged. Any advice is helpful. Thanks in advance

When u charging leave phone be .. don't do anything with it .. heavy !
If it supports Quick charging or SuperCharge, your phone may heat up during charging, due to the increased voltage. In order to reduce heat when charging, do the following:
•Avoid using your phone when charging. Using your phone at this time may increase its temperature.
•Charge your phone in a place where heat can easily dissipate (such as on a desk). Avoid charging in places where heat does not easily dissipate (such as on a bed).
•Power off your phone before charging it. Back up your data regularly and update your phone to the latest version available.
•Use a Huawei standard charger to charge your phone.
yes it heats up considerably when supercharging 1st 50%
also when playing pubg with performance mode on even off
so dont do both
