Hi every one,
As far i know, there is a BUG on every official ROM for European GSM Touch Pro2.
When your battery get full charged and keeping it plugged to the wallcharger, then your Pro2 start taking the power from your battery and NOT from the charger.
This can be checked by yourself and you will see that even with it connected, the battery in running down charge, till you unplug it and plug it again after some minutes/seconds.
Yeah, I have noticed it as well. Anyone have a solution?
Not a bug. LiPoly's do not like being trickle charged, therefore the charger turns off.
I have not verified it on the TP2 but I suspect that if you let it sit long enough the battery level would drop to some level and the charger would charge it back to 100%.
This is a rather good new if it can manage battery loads cycles...

It oughta turn the charger off and run the device from the mains, though, not from the battery. Is it doing that?

No it is NOT doing that, so to me it is a BUG.
just thought i would add this
for some reason on saturday i charged my phone via usb/pc and it lasted less than 24 hrs
so on sunday i drained it and charged it vis the plug
its still going noe
72 hrs 23 mins in stanby 30 mins talk and 4 hrs 7 mins use since 17.43 on 18/10/09
is never been this good so i thought it may be the new rom
http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-21.htm
Lithium-ion
(Li-ion)
Do charge the battery often. The battery lasts longer with partial rather than full discharges.
Do not use if pack gets hot during charge. Check also charger.
Charge methods: Constant voltage to 4.20V/cell (typical). No trickle-charge when full. Li-ion may remain in the charger (no memory). Battery must remain cool. No fast-charge possible.
Rapid charge = 3h
also i have read some where on xda that once it reaches 100% it'll stop charging

You know of any other modern phone that runs off the mains without the battery? None of my last three phones would without the battery.

My Kaiser will. It turns off when you pull the battery, but you can turn it right back on.
Every one is talking about battery and it's components but no one speaks about that with charger pluged in, it should supply power and by pass the battery once it is fully charged like others models do.
sounds like you all need to do warranty exchanges for that lol

i hope this helps
Have in mind that once the battery is fully charged, it never go to charge again till you unplug the cable of your wall/car charger... so what will hapen then???
hello anyone know about the issue with the battery ok when i charge my euro tp2 all night and when i go to start>settings>all settings>system>power i then click on the infomation tab and under last full charge i get "not applicable" and get 0 hours and 0minute for the rest
im running the offical htc 6.5 rom
To me this sounds CRAZY. So people are saying that when the device is fully charged it starts to use its battery, thats just crazy... So basically charging it overnight leaves you with "almost" full battery in the morning...
I havent noticed anything out of the ordinary, and every morning when I come and take my device from the charger the charging light is green (opposed to the orange when started charging) and the battery shows to be 100% full.
I will check this again in the morning as I havent really paid 10000% attention to it, but I think I would have noticed the weird behaviour…
noticed this since day 1. my dash didnt do this. i did notice that a soft reset will resume the charge.
This is normal behavior for battery powered devices.
When it's plugged in, the charge circuit charges the battery.
The device itself always runs off the battery when it's available, this is why some devices won't power on without the battery installed, and many devices won't power on with a failed battery installed.
Laptops do the same thing, though they can switch to AC only without losing their state.
It's a holdover I think from when electronics couldn't switch between power sources fast enough to not lose anything (I remember the original game boy would reset no matter what if you tried to switch between batt and AC). It's possible that cell phones can't make this transition since there isn't really extra space to stuff in the bits that allow this (some large-ish caps).
I've also heard that this reduces wear on the electronics, because the voltage is more reliable, but I've never seen that documented.

I don't think this is true for (modern) laptops. All the macbooks and thinkpads that I've owned had a feature that if you plug it in while the battery is above X% (usually around 96) it will not charge. It even gives a message saying "Not Charging" in the battery status. The battery percentage then stays constant no matter how long I use the laptop, so it is not DIScharging either. Therefore it must be running from AC. If it can do that, I doubt they would have it run off the battery as soon as it is charged to 100% on a full charge cycle. I think any time AC is plugged in, a modern laptop will run from AC rather than battery, regardless of whether it is currently charging the battery. However, that's just my theory from personal observations.
This method is called the Bump Charge, you guys may have heard of it before This method will NOT harm your battery ( Unless you use it to many times ) HTC themselves actually recommend this method to users
Follow this step when your phone is in low battery situation ( < 15% ), it works best with new phones but still does the trick with phones that have been used for an amount of time.
*Note: We only have to apply this method one time, do NOT use it every time you charge
Remember to turn of fast boot from Setting -> Power
Step 1: With your phone turned ON, charge it for 8 hours or more ( 9 to 10 hours is recommended )
Step 2: Unplug the charger, turn off the phone and charge it for 1 hour
Step 3: Unplug the charger, turn on the phone, wait for about 2 minutes, turn it off and charge for another hour
Step 4: Turn on the phone and enjoy
Some users recommend to apply this method once a month, but I don't know about this recommendation, if you want to do this once a month, please give me some reviews
Please send me feedbacks and questions if you have one, thanks
Please remember that this is NOT my idea or effort on this idea, I just used it and want to share it to you guys ( My HOX battery life almost DOUBLED with this method, that is amazing )

It was already mentioned somewhere. Also explained.
What I do not get how you gonna charge the phone for 8 hours when it stops charging from alone when full. (lets say after 3 hours)

Absolutely correct.
The suggestion is a load of hog wash. Lithium batteries explode if overcharged, you can't force more into the battery without a small fire or explosion. Lithium batteries have a simple charging method and they don't need black magic to work properly.
There is no such thing as a bump charge with lithium chemistry.
Taken from the batteryuniversity.com on Lithium batteries.
The so-called miracle charger that promises to prolong battery life and methods that pump extra capacity into the cell do not exist here. Li-ion is a “clean” system and only takes what it can absorb. Anything extra causes stress.
There is no need to mess about with the above method, just plug your phone in to charge and when it says 100% it is done. Any other suggestions are nothing more than snake oil.

There is no point in charging more then 3 hours, battery itself have a processor that cuts off the input power, but there is a point when the phone blocks the charging process based on last power efficiency even when battery itself could be charger more.
The only thing in this topic that matters is to do the bump charge while the phone is 100% charged then u turn it off and charge another 15 minutes, turn it on and then u unplug the charger - then the battery is calibrated.
But really to make things smooth leave the charging stories alone, this is smartphone era when the phone itself takes care of daily usage - when u push it hard every day, battery will be pushing all its power every single time - but when u don't it will be more efficient over longer period of time.
Don't bumpcharge. Use currentwidget to monitor charging, it will tell you how many mA the phone is allowing in. Once it reaches 0, it is fully charged. If you want, you can restart the phone once to reset the phone's internal battery meter, to make sure that it has really reached full charge. If your phone registers less than 5 mA charge, you have basically charged the battery to max, and there is no point to charging further.
I only do this when I charge the phone overnight and won't have access to a charger for a long time.
I am confirmed that this thread seems too good to be true. This method can only apply ONCE? All I see is to continue charging, charging, and more charging. I don't see the point of that. Even if I leave the phone charging when fully charged I never experience any problems.

Well this is the method that HTC recommended users to apply to their phone, I have sent them an email to confirm if this is working on our One X like other devices, haven't got the reply, but when I receive it I will post it here to you guys
And no, this method can apply as many times as you like, but you only SHOULD apply this once for best result, because if you do it too many times, it will harm your battery ( Overheat, etc... )
I can't use this guide because my phone starts by itself if plugin the charger in turned off phone.

This is really pointless, and like I said, it's voodoo magic that is unsubstantiated.
So far I have never seen a real increase in the charge in the battery past doing a single restart and recharging. This also only applies when the phone is left on the charger for a long time after the charge terminates anyways, so if you charge the phone to 0 mA charge being accepted, then immediately pull it off, it will be at full capacity.
If you think you're somehow extracting more battery by doing endless restarts, all you're really doing is temporarily spiking current draw and causing a voltage drop that the charger ignores until it stabilizes, which is right back where you started. There is nothing gained by bumpcharging, no question about it.
If you don't believe me that's fine, go on trying to do voodoo magic to try and extract more battery out of your phone. But the reality is that the only thing you need to figure out whether you've charged the battery all it can be charged is with currentwidget. If you check every so often while it hits 100% and unplug soon after charging terminates (as indicated by currentwidget), you have fully charged it. If you leave it on the charger well past the point that charge terminates (overnight, 4+ hours past charge termination), then restarting the phone will make it start charging the battery back to 100% again. It's as simple as that, and anything else is needlessly overcomplicating the process. It's also important to note that this only raises the max theoretical amount of battery charge by about 5%, as most lithium batteries charge to 100% and let it float down to 95% before charging again.
I believe this used to work when I had my first Desire but then was debunked for the Desire HD....certainly does nothing for HOX.
Once a lithium battery is charged thats it, you cant charge it anymore. there is no secret 110% in the battery and there is no need to charge for an extended period of time when first buying a phone with a lithium battery, thats not how they work.
I thought that once the moto mod is connected to the phone, that it will not be charging it until I tell it to. Is there a way to let the phone run out of battery first and then turn on the moto mod to charge the phone?
You can pause it in the notification, but if you start charging from, idk, 15% the motomod it's not even gonna charge the phone to 80%, at most, 50%
Manually in setting you can enable and disable charging. But you need to enable it manually, otherwise it will keep 80% or fill to 100% depends on setting you choose

To add on to what Victor said (Although to my knowledge the weakest battery pack gives an extra ~60% charge), using your phone's battery first and then the motomod is honestly inefficient anyways, as using "efficiency mode" apparently gives you an extra ~20% more total battery life. Along with that, these mods arent battery banks, they aren't made you give you a quick emergency charge and be tossed away to charge back up, they are made to be attached to your phone for extended periods of time and maintain your battery power.
There have been some studies that indicates that when a lithium battery is charged more than 80 percent or the battery is discharged below 20 percent the overall life and capacity of the battery may be reduced.
Hence I would normally prefer to charge my battery to only 80 percent to maximise the battery lifecycle. I want to be able to turn on /off the charging by appropriate programming. If I had this capability, I could also easily tell the phone to charge the battery to 100% on the rare occasion a full battery was required.
I have a realme phone (X2 RMX1992) with realme UI 20. I want to control the charging of my Realme to help maintain the overall life of the battery .(I know how to minimise the battery drain to make the phone last longer over a day without charging)
I looked and tried the new “Optimised night charging” but this does not help me. I could do this by changing the file /sys/class/power_supply/batterycharging_enabled/charging_enabled or some similar file. I can only access this file if the phone is rooted, which I don’t want to do.
I have looked at the EngineerMode (entering *#899# in phone dialer)/ In Manual test/Charge and Discharge Mode the phone will turn off at a predetermined charge level. I can see that from the “Optimised night charging” and the EngineerMode charging mode the charging can be controlled by the phone, but I cannot see how to do this with rooting the phone.
I want to be able to control the USB charging by suitable programming. How can I do this?
Can realme provide a suitable interface so that I can program the charging on/off (and maybe normal/fast charging)?
you will probably find a lot of apps doing what you want... (I just searched "play store charging control" via Google and immediately found some...though the search words are not optimal)
There are rumors, that 100% isn't 100% on many smart phones...though I never saw a proof for a specific model.
Some custom ROMs have such a feature, too, e.g. I use Corvus ROM 9.0 (Android 10), which has Smart Charging, with a stop and a start limit, so it loads up to the stop limit (e.g. 80%) and then only starts again, when falling below the start limit (e.g. 30%)
Btw. I don't think, Realme reads here...
I would ask Realme directly.
I have been a fan of wireless charging for many years since my LG G4,
with the optional, QI charging rear case,
As the F3 lacks QI charging, i have been struggling to find a compatible charging receiver,
after buying 2 incompatible charging receivers, the black type with qi printing in the middle, from a well known UK auction site.
I thought I would try ALI, as i buy bits from there and came across this type in the photo,
and I can confirm it works a treat.
I use my F3 in a flip case and the receiver is still working up to a depth of 5mm.
Buying this QI charging receiver means Less wear and tear on the charge socket
and also helps a bit with water proofing and protects the socket from Dirt & Fluff
Could you link the item you bought from Ali that worked?

How much time do you need 2 charge a full battery ?
Hi,
I have just checked Accubattery and a 30% charge (30 to 60% / 1.209 ma) took, 1hr 22m and this only achieved 0.04 battery wear cycles using a Swalle 5w wireless charger,
this is perfect for me

You need to read more user feedback lol
It's not recommended to be using it on xiaomi phones.
The chip in charge of charging will eventually die ( get corrupted or whatev ) and the phone becomes permanently bricked.
Aosp rom's experimented with it few months back , then fully removed it soon after reports came in.

Hi,
thanks for the heads up, i also read that users were depleting their batteries to 0%, using (ACC) then were unable to recover from a dead phone,
i also read that to recover from this issue was to leave the phone plugged in for a long time or to jump start the phone buy putting a small amount of external charge into their battery,
yes this does mean removing the battery from the phone and injecting a small amount of charge.
I might just buy a spare BM4Y from ALI for around £16 including taxes just in case.
I have two battery charge alarms set to 25% for peace of mind of,
not getting anywhere near 0%
IF I AM INCORRECT THEN I WILL EDIT MY POST,
Keep me informed,
cheers.

You do you man xd...
Not something I wanna mess with at all , I've experienced plenty amount of times having the phone discharge while plugged in with that app installed.
Even when I go to bed and leave the phone plugged in , I wake up and battery is 40-50% lower than what it was the night before... I had 2/3 nights of wondering did I forget to plug the phone and sleepwalk into plugging it in few minutes before waking up?
It's crazy bad on this phone , If I was to ever use it for something that would be to disable battery charging altogether and power the phone fully from outlet when in use - but that toggle doesn't work either xd
I see no use in it , more trouble than good in using it. This is a really shet phone , one that I don't see myself using for long.

Thank you for your Update,
i don`t charge my phone overnight,
i will edit my listing in case anyone else faces your issue,
with new android updates, SMART CHARGING might be available for all phones and hopefully the devs can make it compatible with the F3.
Samsung already has this function working on some of their phones,

i agree the charging chip might suffer if u set too many parameters, I personally use a charging limit set to 80% and leave everything else as default that should extend battery health and protect it from overcharging or staying on 100% plugged in, but I turn it off at least once a month and charge it fully.
Thanks for the tip, just received the linked receiver and it works for me as well.
Also tried two others before (generic one with "Type C" printed on it and one from Nillkin), neither worked. After finding this thread, I decided to gave it one last try.
Interesting detail: while trying to get the other two to work, I tried connecting them through a USB-C power tester and... it started to charge.

Hi,
I am glad i could help,
for all the ACCA Doubters, my F3 has been happily charging between 35% & 60% for the last 4 weeks and i have not had any issues with my phone not turning on.
I've been looking for many years for the ultimate battery charging app that restricts my phone from charging to 100%, to save on battery cycles and thus keeping my battery in tip top condition,
I can confirm that ACCA Nailed it.
For those of you that are interested in maintaining your battery,
this is how my F3 is setup,
I use the brilliant Descendant Rom V1921, rooted with Magisk for ACCA,
Advanced Charging Controller (ACCA),
also Accubattery to monitor battery cycles and Battery alarm by Zoran Vujacic, this warns me regarding my battery levels,
both apps are available from the Play store.
I set Battery alarm to warn me when my battery drops below 25% and above 60% i also use Accubattery to monitor my battery health and keep an eye on my charge cycles.
I charge my phone between 35% and 60%, acuubattery reports that i have only used 0.003 cycles, (this lasts me around 8 hours).
REGARDING ACCA
Do not let your phone charge drop to 0%, otherwise you may not be able to charge or turn your phone on, this issue has been reported using other xiaomi phones and roms.
Use ACCA at your own risk,
again i hope this helps someone,

Hi,
I use Advanced Charging Controller (ACCA) as in my previous post, i don`t use Voltage/Current limit functions, i just set the maximum charge limit.
ACCA is a Software only based charging app, it requires Root access for it to work, i have attached some screen shots of ACCA, as you can see it has lots of useful functions.
I have also attached pictures of my slightly modified QI Wireless receiver, i did this by putting aluminium foil around the receiver to dissipate a little bit more heat.
As my phone is in a clam style case and with the warmer weather slowly on its way, anything to help the QI receiver with heat has to be a good thing, especially as the receiver is in close proximity to the F3`s Li-ion battery.
I hope this helps
Bought 2 of them (in case of) from this ali vendor and I can confirm it works fine with the F3, thanks OP
It works at full 1A/5W
EDIT: one of the receiver does not work anymore, tested with different chargers/phones :-/
