[Q] Phone will barly charge

Hi
My 8 months old HOX will barly charge. It is like its using a lot of battery all the time. When connected to wall charger, the red LED lights. When I trying to turn it on, it has maby 2% battery, I have tried to let it charge for 8 hours, and 10 minutes, still the same. In the status bar, it shows the phone is charging, but wont gain any more battery. Im losing 100-200mAh, even when the phone is in stock wall charger. I have tried connecting to laptop, but there, I wont even get the phone on there. Early today, I got a warning, somthing about connecting to a battery eliminator.
Im using Battery Doctor to view the battery percentage, and Currentwidget to measure the current.
My phone is rooted, running Revolution ROM
Thanks

[Q] Xperia Acro S : Q + A

Battery discharging while on charger.
The past 2 nights I've had the Acro S on charge via the wall charger through the USB plug (not in the cradle - due to a protective case) and during the night I noticed the phone charge with the Red LED showing and then it goes Green showing it above 90% - then later on in the night/early morning I've noticed the green light has gone out and checked the time and noticed that the battery has discharged to 80%
Looking at the battery stats it shows the phone had reached full capacity and then been discharging for a number of hours - the odd thing here is that the plug was still firmly in the phone and plugged into the wall with no chance of it being bumped - the other odd thing is that the charging lightening bolt was also still showing but the percentage was going down as I was trouble shooting all this.
Eventually I unplugged the phone a couple of times and the phone started charging again and reached 100% and was still like this when I picked it up to use it for the day.
This has occurred 2 nights in a row.
The manual says that the phone will reach full capacity while on the charger and will also self discharge and recharge again by itself but I think a 20% drop is a bit more that what would be considered normal especially when you want the phone fully charged in the morning.
If anyone knows what is going on here or has experienced this kind of behavior I'd be keen to know about it.

Nobody else has this problem yet I see.......
Its been a few days and this morning I've got the following
0650 hrs - battery showing discharge after being on the charger all night - red charging LED on and screen showing lightening bold charging symbol but battery still discharging and sitting at 81%
0701 hrs - phone still on charge, battery now 79%
0741 hrs - phone still on charger, battery now 77% - I cant believe that this is part of the battery cycling on charge
I'll contact Sony today and see if the battery is faulty - phone is only 2 weeks old.

Ok - so yesterday I went to the Sony support office in Khyber Pass New Zealand and the tech there said they dont support Acro S because its not been supplied by a NZ Sony distributor. So I then went to the place I bought it and they didnt want to look at the phone because its Rooted - I didn't tell them the boot loader is also unlocked - but they gave me an adapter so I could use the official Sony charger that I got with the phone (until now I've been using my old Xperia Neo charger) in the hope that the lower voltage rating might change things (they'd had acro Z which didn't charge on the Neo type charger they supplied).
So I got home and changed the power adapter over to the one that came with the phone using the adapter plug.
Last night I put the phone on charge and woke this morning to see that it had charged fully again and then since around 0400 it had discharged to 83%. I unplugged the phone and plugged it in again and it did not start charging - I did this a number of times and it didnt start charging but it did show that it was charging with the red LED and the lightening bolt on the battery and everywhere else it showed charge but the graph kept going down and the percentage kept dropping.
I had to reboot the phone for the battery to start charging.
I decided that I would re-lock the boot loader and repair the phone via Sony Update
Relock thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863179
Sony Update
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
On page 3 of the relock thread I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44093334&postcount=28 and waiting a reply from him to see if his issues were similar.
I've - re-locked and used Sony Update so now I'm back to square one I hope - I'm still going to root but I'm not going to bother unlocking the boot loader because I didn't find a kernel that could read external hard drives.
I'll update this if the phone continues to have a faulty charge...........

Battery not chargin

Folks,
Please help out, my Nexus is not charging at all. Yesterday when I tried to charge it was stuck at 72% and not going further even after 3 hours.
After some usage it was 52%, then I had it connected to charger and browsed few videos and mail and was still 52% (read somewhere it won't charge when powered on).
Today I powered it off, kept for charge for 2 hours and still shows 52% though it says charging.
What could be the problem here?
I have tried original charger, original + diff cable, 2 different chargers as well.
The same combo of charger works fine with my mobile.
If the battery is the problem then it should have drained when I was watching videos and webpages when connected to charger but didn't.
So am very confused here.
OS: 4.4 Kitkat 2nd update (not 4.4.1 or 4.4.2).

My Galaxy S2 SGH T989 does not charge with the new battery

Hi Folks,
I have bought a new original battery for my Galaxy S2 SGH T989 since my old battery is not holding the charge and discharges quickly. The new battery came with 40% charge. I have inserted the battery, turned off the phone and plugged into the charger whole night to make it ready for use. At morning, I am surprised to see the charge animation logo is showing as it is charging from 40%. I turned the phone on and saw the battery percentage as 41.
I tried to charge with the phone turned ON. And I noticed that it just charges for 2 to 3 seconds and then stops charging. The charging animation of the battery runs for 2 to 3 seconds and then stops. Have tried with different chargers, cables, power banks but it behaves the same. At times it charges for sometime like 15 to 20 mins and then stops. Somehow I managed to charge it to 90% but its really tiring to always keep an eye on it.
I am not facing this issue with my old battery. The old battery charges well with all the cables and chargers I have. I am not sure where could be the problem. Please help.
