Desire doesn't charge from usb when turned on

EDIT: ISSUE SOLVED, it appeared that my non-working camera was eating the battery like crazy, so I just isolated it from the pins with a little bit of scotch tape Now battery drain is normal.
Hello Guys,
Something strange started happening recently. When my desire is turned on, it won't charge from USB. The led light turns red, it looks like it's charging, the back gets VERY hot, but the phone doesn't really charge, in fact for a few hours it actually loses a few %.
If I turn it off, it charges well from both USB and wall socket. I still didn't try charging it from wall socket when turned on. Also, whenever I'd use it it would get very hot (even hotter than in the past)
The bad thing is that I did too many things to my desire at the same time and it's not easy to determine the real issue:
1. Flashed Leedroid GB rom
2. Opened the phone ~3 times in order to try to fix the camera and once to replace the earpiece (it was blown out).
3. Started using a cheap $2 ebay wall socket battery charger as I have 2 batteries.
I noticed the dialer app is eating quite some power, it's the second greediest right after the display in battery info. Also, the phone started draining the battery even faster then usual - for about 5 hours with moderate use (1 hour of reading and playing games) it's down to 30%. So, I am wondering - should I revert to an older rom (Android 2.2) or try something else?
Thanks for any kind of suggestions

i have exactly the same problem. Im using InsertCoin rom + is unlocked with an app from xda for using all networks

Ok, a short update - I managed to charge it while turned on with the wall socket charger. Meantime I also reverted to leedroid 2.5 final (android 2.2) and it didn't fix the problrem. I also calibrated the battery with the app " battery calibration " from the market, but this didn't help - for about an hour of save its now under 60%. And the phone is very hot in its lower back part. Seems the CPU is working quite a lot, which i have o idea why it does...

Hmmm im not sure what u mean. Anyway, the issue appeared to be my camera which wasnt eorking but still eating a lot of battery, probably due to a a short cirquit. Thats why my phpne waznt charging - having it turned on was ating more battery than getting via the charger...

[Q] one x not switching on

i had the phone running this morning with over 50% charge. i put it on charge to get it to the max before getting to work.. then the phone hanged and switched off..since it has happened before when the phone overheats, i thought it will reboot but since then its not detecting the charger. When i start charging the phones battery area heats up but the charging led is not seen. the dealer told me to charge it for an hour and try but that also didnt work..
any opinions or past experiences like this??

Can you boot into HBOOT? Power plus volume down.

Not sure if its the same thing but over the last 2 nights mine has done something similar and it is annoying the hell out of me!
On the first night as usual i switch my phone off (with about 10% battery left) and plug it in to the charger, wait for the charging light to come on, and go to bed. In the morning no light on and phone won't switch on? After a while of unplugging and plugging back in, pressing random buttons and head scratching the red light comes back on and i can start it up but the battery is completely flat and have to charge it up again?
Same thing happened again last night but this time i had about 50% battery??? Haven't looked into it properly yet as i thought it was a fluke but obviously its not! I'm running stock untouched phone so trying other roms etc isn't an option atm.
Will let you know if i find anything ;-)

Ok so i have had a few days of no problems but just woke up to another completely flat phone? It had 45% battery when i put it on charge and the charge light came on. When i woke up it had no light on and completely flat battery, it wouldn't switch on !!? Unplug the charger and plug it back in and then after a minute the charge light comes on and you can turn it on?? This is very annoying as last time it happened was at a weekend but i have to go to work now without a phone as I have no way to charge it :-(
This is a real pain as it doesn't always happen and when it does I'm asleep so i don't know till its too late?

[Q] Led flashing and green. Unable to charge phone. Help!

As my HOX was charging, via a USB cable to plug, the screen started flickering slightly and the phone shut itself down. The phone was 10% charged. Now when I try to charge it the LED flashes red and green and doesn't seem to charge. I've read that this could be due to overheating so I left my phone untouched for a couple of hours but it's still flashing red and green/green. Something feels seriously wrong.
Is there something I can do to fix this?
When the problem started the phone was quite warm but nowhere near as hot as it has been, and I wasn't using it that much.
The only thing different today was that I was using a plug that I don't normally use, the cable I have used before.
Any ideas?
How much does a battery replacement cost?
Thanks
Chris

Don't you have the charger and cable it came with? Try another charger that can supply at least 1 amp and try a different cable.
The only time I've had this is when it's overheated.

Charged to 28% but then shut down after light usage
Ok I've managed to get it charging up to 28%. Then I stopped charging it and started using it to do some light Internet browsing, but after about 15 minutes it suddenly shut itself down even though it wasn't hot and had plenty of battery. What's going on?

You might have damaged the battery using a non standard plug. It might be more than the phone can handle

I always had the impression that the USB plugs were all standardised and acted the same?

Can charge it to 60% but turns off after heavy usage
OK I've managed to get this battery to charge up to 60%. It won't go any higher than that. I was using today quite heavily for about 30 minutes and it got quite hot and turned itself off.
Will replacing the battery sort this problem out or is there something else wrong?
Thanks
Chris

I'd be surprised if it was the battery, I'd try a factory reset, anb if that doesn't work, an RUU.

[Q] One X not charging properly

Hello guys, and thanks for reading this.
Today, I got my HOX from a brothers' firend who's been using it for a year and a half. The device is in almost perfect shape, and he's been using it since last week or so. He reseted it to factory settings and left it in a drawer where it "died". Let's start with a timeline of all the **** I've been through with this mobile just today:
1. I got it with battery level fully depleted, wouldn't even turn on. Put it on it's original charger in the wall socket, left it there for like 10 minutes. Turned it on - it turned off after 3 minutes of "work" while still plugged in the wall socket. (Wasn't getting nearly enough juice?) We then tried charging it again, but all we got was blinking red LED or no LED indication at all.
2. Left it plugged in the wall socket for like 1.5h, after which the red LED stayed on - not blinking. Tried to turn it on, it worked, the battery was at like 50%. Removed it from charging (stupid probably, I know). It's a new phone so I went to proceed downloading my apps and logging into all of my social accounts. No problems. Even listened to music for about half an hour to test out the speaker.
3. When the battery got down to like 15% I again plugged it into a wall socket. Everything seemed fine, the red LED was on and the battery indicator on the screen was "moving" from right to left, meaning it's charging. But it was not - soon the battery was at 5%. I left the phone alone charging and after 30 minutes it was even more depleted, on 2%. Turned it off, left it to charge for 1h. Came back, turned it on - still at 2%.
4. Thought about doing another reset to manufacturers' settings while I still could. Did it (with the phone charging on USB) and when it turned back on the battery was at 10%? WTF?
5. I thought the best thing to do was to deplete the battery completely which I did and left it on AC charging for a couple of hours. When I came back, the red light was blinking. I turned it on, and the battery was at miserable 2% again, just enough to turn it on.
Any suggestions or possible solutions?
Thank you for reading my BS, appreciate it. :good:

I had this problem and it was the charger so use another one.

The thing I forgot to mention was that we tested the charger on my borthers' S3 mini and it worked ok.
Anyway, thanks, will try that tomorrow when I get my hands on another charger, but it seems unlikely, seeing how it's not charging properly even via USB and how it charged the S3 mini ok.

That happened to me too. Tested my htc charger on a xperia s and works fine but plugged into my phone doesn't work. So i just use a sony charger and it works fine.

Another development in the story - it's not the charger.
I left it on charger (new charger) overnight, in the morining - 6%. Rebooted it - 90%. WTF
I'm on Android Revolution 30.1 and before it was happening on stock 4.2.2. - any ideas?
Also, should I be worried about CPU-Z showing that the CPU is constantly going from 5% to 70% load when absolutely nothing else is turned on on the phone? (exept sense, no apps from my end I mean)

Check for wakelocks and recalibrate your battery

LG G3 Bricked?

Hi,
I just bought a G3 for my wife (I still think girlfriend first and... It already bricked. After the first day of normal usage, the battery was drained so she plugged it to a wall charger. Next thing we saw was a "fastest 0xXXXXXX" small message in the upper left corner. We tried switching the phone off with the power button but it didn't work. As a last resort we removed and replaced the battery. Now the phone seems totally bricked.. No reaction when pushing on any button, or plugging in the wall charger... The screen stays off and the notification led too.
Any suggestions for unbricking the device is welcome
Ah yes I almost forgot: the charger worked with another phone and we tried another one, with a different usb cable too.
Thanks

Surely your only option is to return it. Especially if you've only had it a day.

Thank you. I'll do that
