Defy battery temperature

Hey guys!
Today I charged my Defy like every day. I woke up in the morning and it had only 6% of battery left despite it was connected to the charger. I grabbed it to reconnect it to the charger and it was hot like hell and the touchscreen was unresponsible.
After pulling the battery i took a look at the Battery Monitor Widget logfile and it showed some crazy stand by drain of up to 350 mA/h and temperatures of 60°C.
I really don't know if I should charge it again now because i don't want that my phone takes damage due to a broken battery.
Any suggestions? Should i charge it again and check the temp?
Here is a screenshot of the Battery Widget logfile:

Wonder if this is widespread?... I called t mobile about my phone rebooting itself and dying so quick that they quickly ordered me a battery and said if the new one works I can send the old one back or even keep it... got an extra battery yet to try...
Does get hot... hottest mine registered was about 41c... 60c ish quite hot for a phone... even battery? lol...
Edit: sorry sloppy grammar, yet I edit saying so lol.

were you using the official charger? might be unrelated but I used to keep a cheap charger at work for my phone, worked well for all my old phones but with this one the screen becomes unresponsive when its plugged in. Ive tried two cheap ones now and they are both the same but with the official one or my old HTC one its fine

Hi! I have the same problem with you with high temperatures and sudden drain.. But this happens not all the time. So sometimes my phone will stay awake for 3-4 days without charging, or have a problem like yours and 3-4-5 hours after charging it's battery it's almost empty....
If you have found a solution and/or you can just tell me if it is hardware issue or software, I would be gratefull to you!
Thanks!

What Android-Version are u guys using? Any special ROM?

mine is 3.4.2-155 but I had the same problem with 2-3 older versions.. So I think its not about firmware...

[Q] Odd Battery Charge Curve

hi all,
i noticed the charge curve on my evo is not linear. at first it's logarithmic and then linear (see pic). everything is off (3g/4g, wifi, bluetooth, sync) while charging (only turning on once in a while to check the %). is this normal?
ive wiped my battery stats and done all that. during use, the battery drops to 60% quickly and then discharges slower. im using deck's gb 1.3 rom, havent changed the kernel, no wake lock issues as far as i can tell.

I was having the same exact issue. I bought a new battery and figured it must be bad when it would jump from 80 percent to full in a matter of minutes. Then it would discharge to around 70 percent in a matter of an hour. After it hit 70 percent it would discharge more slowly. This was a battery that the Sprint store gave me and I was led to believe it was new. After it did this weird charging discharging issue I went back to sprint and this time received a brand new battery in the package. The young lady behind the counter showed me a box full of all types of used batteries and explained they probably pulled one out of the box of the used batteries. I exchanged my original battery because it wasn't fully charging anymore but the weird charging spike I got with the replacement battery was a first for me. Anyway the "NEW" battery is working like it should so you may be looking at a bad battery.

I know you said you wiped battery stats but did you calibrate the battery at all?

oop. forgot all about this post. thanks for your responses.
i assumed something weird may have happened from my going stock to root so i checked out a friends battery. he never rooted his phone. unfortunately i get the same charge curve.
yes, i have calibrated my battery/ ie, charge to full, wipe stats, then drain phone til shut off.
i will try contacting sprint/htc for a new battery and see how that goes.
anyone else have this issue?

Me, all the time. Have yet to have a different curve ever. Mine happens a little higher though, around 70%. Try battery monitor widget and you can see the actual charging voltage

After you drain the battery completely, charge it to 100% without unplugging. Recalibrate with that method and see if it helps.

[Q] My phones battery life isnt being displayed correctly?

Im not really sure why, but my phone has been acting very strange for the past week. If I restart my phone it displays a different battery percentage than it was before. For example, I charged my phone up to 100%. Then when I restarted the phone, it was at 81%. I'm not really sure how to go about fixing this. I cant re-calibrate my battery because it will randomly restart and then have 5% battery left, then continue in a cycle of turning on and then restarting. Is my battery itself the issue? Or should I try completely resetting my phone by going back to the factory kmz file? I tried switching roms and I still had the same issue.
Heres an example of the ridiculous jumps in battery life after a re-boot.

Before you buy a new battery I would recommend using the tot over the kdz. If it still has problems pick a day you don't absolutely need your phone and let it boot loop until it completely drains the battery then fully charge it before you turn it on. Fully draining the battery is bad for it but if you might need to get a new one anyway its not a issue.

Slow charge problem

Hello, I have the problem that no matter which charger / charge cable ,the phone takes at least 3 hours to charge 0% -> 100%, the battery once charged gives me life 3-4hs sot (screen on time). Thanks

Sounds like your battery is bad. If you have the phone/battery for about a year or less, it's possible the battery is defective. If you have another battery use that one, but if you have a new battery you will need to cycle charge the battery. This means you have to charge from 0 to 100, let it deplete completely and keep doing the same thing for about 3-6 charges. This effectively breaks in a battery giving you the best longevity.

sorry to revive this thread but did a new battery work for you? I'm experiencing similar problems since the MM update, without fast charging enabled it charges at about 600mah, with fast charging enabled its about 1000mah but tapers off to 400mah once it gets to 85%
I'm not sure if its my battery or if this is a new "feature" of MM, last time that i charged from 30% it took 4 hours to reach 100% if anyone got a suggestion let me know.

3-4 hours is great compared to mine. If I use the USB cable, it'll take about 12+ hours (0-100%). Problem started after I dropped the phone. Luckily wireless charging takes about 5 hours.

Used to be no more than 2 hours before, not sure what the problem is, the battery is only a year old

Phone just stopped fast charging?

3-4 days ago, it just happened out of the blue. Charging from 70% to 100% took 1.5 hours. I rebooted. Didn't do anything unusual in that time but updated Play Store apps. Just tested it right now - 22% in 43 minutes.
Any ideas on how to fix?

The charging appears to be much slower than it used to be.
I just checked at 45% battery. It says "Charging rapidly," but it is charging at a speed significantly lower than 1% per minute, more like 0.8% per minute. It completely stops "charging rapidly" at higher % of battery. In my estimation, this will charge the phone, 0-100, in about 2h35m. It used to be 1h40m.
I think that either the latest update introduced a bug or my charger/cable/phone usb socket broke.

Usually rapid charging occurs at a lower % and then goes away as the phone reaches a certain threshold. I think if you charge the device at 75% battery level, rapid charging may not happen...I could be wrong though...If this is a bug, then it would be all over Reddit which it's not...so it's very likely that your charger is kaput!

I've had the same issue, although not really looked into why yet.
I was using a charger I had with my 6P because it had a longer cable(official, bought from Google when I had the 6p).
I changed the cable to the plug that came with my XL, and it started fast charging, in fact faster than I have had in months it feels like.
I think they changed something in the latest May security/bug release, i'll be investigating more on my day off from work.

It should be all over Reddit, except I don't use Reddit, therefore it is not
Anyway, the Charging Rapidly does stop after 70%, however, Google algorithm still predicts 1% per minute charging rate. For example, it may say "Charging" (not Charging Rapidly) at 75% and then say in parenthesis - time to full charge 26 minutes (literally happened to me.) It still took well over 45 minutes to charge from that state.
I think there are bugs and issues with the new OS updates with regard to charging.
