Are you using stock charger to charge online? there might be one more possibility that battery might not be pinned properly to the phone.

yes i am using stock charger , and i tried several times battery is pinned properly .. it all started because the computer guy made wrong usb connections on my computers motherboard .. i connected to transfer my photos and it suddenly died. on connecting to computer via usb it charges sometimes ..but then restarting it results in mega drop in battery level and then it wont charge.
Just wanted to know that if this is a hardware issue or a software issue. would flashing a ftf solve the issue ?

K i personally think that there is a problem with the battery. once the battery is connected to wrong polarity it generally get ****ed up but i see that it charges properly with the battery charger. if the charge is retained normally there is definitely no problem in battery. It will be the PIN . But not harm in trying to reset through PCC or flashing FTF.

ok i will check one thing tonight .. am gonna charge the battery and leave it over night .. if charge retains and acts normal i guess pin and everything else has to be fine .. then the only thing fishy would be when connecting a charger...

Does Kernel affects charging or mess it up ??

Yea it does. Get back to stock charge your battery use the phone. if the battery drains normally. There is no problem with battery. The problem is with pin configuration of the phone.

i flashed a ftf in flashmode ... still battery would charge just 1% from its current level like it would go to 19% from 18% and stop there ...on connecting to usb or stock charger ...and battery level would drop crazy after that on restarting ..
also phone would be in turn off mode it would just restart ,,,
should i buy a new battery ??

I'm not sure its safer to check it with the new charger first in order to avoid Any problem. Other wise you can check the charger with some other phone

Hi,

Is there anybody who may know the solution? Thanks.
My problem was the charger!!!Now is connected and i instal batery wipget pro and it showing 320mA.Before indication was 5 to 21mA when charger connected.I wiped battery stats and woks fine
I'll try nother charger tomorrow from another HTC. Thanks.

I installed Battery Monitor Widget from 3C and I see 6 to 20 mA AC. If it's the same issue, I'll check with a new HTC charger.
I tried from usb charge so is normal slow because the energy transfered via usb of the PC is less!
I tried using another charger and same issue. Battery monitor indicates between 10 and 60 mA, never more than 60mA and often at 20 mA.
Same charger, also mine, used with HTC of my colleague and indicates about 230mA on his phone.
May it be some fault on my phone?
I come from Italy, where we have 220V and I think it happened since I went to US plugging my phone with 110V adapter.
Please help.
Thanks.

You plug the 220V charger or 110V charger?If you plug the 220V 50Hz charger into 110V 60Hz if charger don't support that voltage you may damage the charger!I don't think you damage the phone becose the out put voltage of the charger is 5V DC so there is no worry about the phone .Try if you have friend with same phone to change the battries!If problem is fix you may buy a new battery.

I plugged the 220V charger into the 110V when I went to US for business.
I'm back in Italy now, and I'm plugging the 220V charger into 220V. I tried both another charger from a colleague of mine and I have the same issue. I bought a new battery and I have the same issue. I gave my charger to my colleague and everything is working on his phone (about 230 mA).
I have to send my phone to the HTC's support as I still have warranty.
I'll keep you posted on whether it's an hardware fault.

Let's see. I had to restore to the original ROM, but even that did not solve the issue. Lot of people seem to try calibrating battery with no luck.
I'll keep you posted in 2, 3 weeks as that's the time HTC repair phones here.
Bye.

Hi all,
I got my mobile phone. It's now fully charging and battery life is now 2 full days. It was a hardware fault. HTC changed the whole motherboard.
Just have a small issue now: the green led is not shown when fully charged and the phone is turned off. But when I turn it on, it's 100% charged and if I plug it to the AC, it says "Charged". Any advice on this?
Thanks.
I think you must wipe the battery stats when reach 100%
Battery stats only holds the information/stats you see in the battery option in settings, it contains nothing more than the stats which tell you what has already used the battery. It in no way affects battery life, calibration or whether the led turns on or not and is reset every time you wipe data to flash a new rom or fully charge the phone to 100%.
Any app that tells you otherwise is lying.

Hi, do you have an idea of what may be this cause? If I leave my mobile turned off and plugged to the AC all the night, it shows the red light the next morning. I unplug it and switch on, plug to the AC and it tells me its' charged. Unplug it and shutdown, then plug and green light is shown now.
Thanks.
I read in one post that this is recovery bug.My phone is the same when turn off and charge phone don't boot and i need to take the battery off the phone.I think that battery need calibration see this post ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11803458&postcount=10 some people tried and worked on my not but i hope will work on yours

No need to do the battery calibration thing. Try pull the battery out then plug in ur phone to charge for 10 min then plug the battery in and let charge for half hour then power up and let full charge.

Kk i got it working, but also. Ive been having this problem for about a week or two. my phone takes like 8-10 hours to charge to full. is this normal?
ever since i flashed the perseus kernel my phone doesnt even full charge over night. its retarded. really annoyed thinking about going back to factory settings un rooting and sending it to samsung. cuz i flashed other kernels and it still doesnt help
I flashed persus as well and it takes about 5 hrs from stonecold dead. It is also the charger and wire. I went out and bought myself a spare charger that is like samsungs output. Working fine. Dont use any old cable u got lahing around unless it a thick wire.

If ur using the original oem charger I would if u have the money go buy one and carefully open the package and try it out. If it charges faster then contact samsung and send ur charger back. If it the same redownload rom and kernel. Install and see then. If u still got issue then u gotta do some research and see what is going on.

These issues are the reason I don't even bother rooting this phone. There's enough RAM to multitask without slowing down the phone.

[Q] Xperia Ion never holds charge

Hello Friends,
I have a year Xperia Ion phone. Recently I have got a problem with the battery of this phone.
A week back the battery status was never going below 100% but will shut off after certain amount of usage. I did not bother as I was able to use the phone normally but only the battery status was a problem. However the problem got more serious. Here is what happened and what I tried:
- A day back phone got switched off and the battery was never going above 1% upon restart, even when it was on charging
- I tried hard restart (holding volume up button + power button). After this it was showing increase in percentage when plugged in for charge and reached 100%. I thought the problem is resolved but not.
- Everytime I unplug phone from charging, battery drops down to 1% immediately and shuts off
- I did service test (by dialing some long numbers) of the phone and it says battery is good and no need to replace it. I assumed there is not hardware issue.
- I had no otherway but to try out battery calibration after rooting- I rooted my device, used 'Battery calibration' app. Charged up till it says 100% and did the calibration. It showed calibration success. I unplugged it from the charger again just to find that the same issue again.
I really do not know what to try now. My phone is just out of warranty (I bought this in another country during a visit). I am ready take paid service if that would solve, but I really appreciate a promising solution or suggestion for this issue.
This phone means a lot for some reason. Thanks in advance for your helpful thoughts!
Note: I found a similar thread where they talked about replacing battery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450884 I am not sure if this is the same case as that of mine. If so how to replace the built-in battery for Ion.
have you try charging when the phone in power off state ???

Every time I plug it in charge only after it goes off and then I turn on. Do you suggest to charge it to 100% while the phone remains in off state?

Xperia S Slow Charging?

My Xperia S charge very slow as in my phone is connecTed and after an hour it only went up 1%.... Is it the software or theres a problem with my phone?

do you charge your phone by Pc or by plug? Try if you charge it for example by plug if the problem still exist if you charge it by Pc. If it still doesn't work then talk to me again

Reboot your phone and let it charged. Most probably because your phone is hot when charging and don't use your phone while charging.
try eny samsung galaxy charger im using it it charging fast
Charge with the phone off to ensure its mostly not to do with the software. Also try another charger and charging via pc is very slow...

You should try too calibrate your battery
I'd recommend to use NEMA BATTERY CALIBRATION

I also have a problem with my LG Optimus G. I have Android KitKat, software 20C, rooted phone. Yesterday my phone battery dropped to 0%. I was sick and I didn't have time to charge it.

I had the same problem, turns out it was just my charger. After I bought a new one the charging time droped from 7h to 2h.
I have the same problem. I can confirm that the problem is the charger or the charging port or the usb cable socket.

im also starting to notice my phone is charging so slow, the battery icon indicates that it's filling up but sometimes the percentage wont go up, it will be stuck at 50% for couple of hours, and i have read some topics saying that This phone has really some problem burning up the charging ports, one even said that he already burned 4 chargers out of this phone is this true?

No, it's not. Just change the USB cable. If didn't help change the battery. I myself did it vice versa!

i think it's my charger, because i tried my friend's charger from his Zenfone 5 and it charged my phone for just about 2hrs or so.
mine would charge for atleast 3 to 5% and after that it will not charge anymore, i wonder what happened? I am on full stock right now fully unrooted using LG flash tool. it's really a shame that my charger gave up so soon as i have only bought this phone(Brand New) not 2 months ago.

I had exactly the same problem. I forced them to change my main board under guarantee. It didn't help. I bought a new battery. Helped but charging time was 3 hours. I saw I couldn't transfer files via USB tried changing cable and I can charge 0 to 100 in 2:10 hours. 20 mins faster than the day I bought my phone. The stock charger is OK but the cable is a crap. Do what I did from bottom to top!
