Can you use someone else's battery to try. Your battery may have just died, some do from time to time.

mmm
I'm not sure, but I don't think it's a battery death problem.
When I turn off it, I CAN CHARGE IT with pc.
I've noticed that if it's turned on, no charge.
If it's turned off, from 15% is now 36% of charge.
WHY???

So if you leave the phone turned off and connected to the PC for a few hours does the battery recharge to 100% and then the orange light change to green? If you then turn the phone on does the light still go out after a couple of minutes? The current draw will be lower when the battery is 100% charged (as it will be when charging while the phone is off). Some PC's can be flakey with high current draw devices on the USB port.
In the situation you described when the light goes off, will the phone still remain connected via Active Sync (or Vista equivalent)? I'm trying to weed out whether the USB connection has anything to do with it. As for those mains chargers, my one (which came with the PPC) worked about 4 times and the first time I had to recharge the PPC from a totally flat battery it died about 3 seconds into the charge. There was a loud click from the charger and it's light extinguished so I dont have much faith in the mark 2 chargers supplied to UK customers. I'm currently waiting on a different warranty replacement - hopefully like the original type with interchangable 'head' to suit different countries.

now it's not fully recharged, but I've just now turned on the phone and the % is growing.
I've always recharged my phone via pc because I left it connected to my pc at work every day during the working day.
only sometime I recharge it via wall plug at home.
dunno why but from yesterday the wall plug works 2 (or less) minutes and the pc is not anymore able to charge the phone.
now, with all the phone switched off (so, also activesync connection closed), the pc can recharge it.
ARGH

I have also the same problem since yesterday

Did you do anything with the PPC before the problem occurred or was it just out of the blue?
I'd also like to know from leopardone how it goes with regards to answering my questions once the battery is fully charged (if it gets that far).

Take batt. 10m out, i had this problem long time ago.
Do you use a other AC loader.... use only the org. AC loader !!!!
Install batt. status and take a look... you must wait a few min. before the batt is charged.

I didn't anything (and, also, in the doubt, I've hard resetted everything on order to have a clean system)
The phone is still in charge.
I'll let you know as soon as possible

yes the same rom.
the big problem now is that I also can not make connection with my pc to install an original rom in case it got to be returned for repair.

after 15 min without battery, I've turned on the pda and I'm trying to charge it.
it is WORKING!!!
the % is growing under my eyes!!!
THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I hope will not happens anymore...
btw: the problem, in conclusion, belongs to the hardware, and not to the rom, isn't it?

Hey I have the same problem... I am on the original HTC Rom.
All of a sudden today the batt is not charging on the wall socket or the PC USB cable.
There is no light whatsoever, The active sync is also not connecting.
I have hard resetted even then the same problem, I am guessing it is a hardware & not a software problem coz I didnt install any new prog/app since last time I charged.
Now I have removed the Batt, will reattach and check in about 15 mins lets hope it works...
Shall update soon.

Nope, Removing the battery and waited for 30 mins reconnected the batt still not working.
Nor is my kaiser charging while the phone is switched off.
The problem is notof the USB port coz the USB headphones are working fine..

I got a battery problem as well. Problem started 3 days ago (20/12-07)
My problem is that the battery drains to fast.. disconnected it around 02:00 when I was of to bed, (battery 100%) but when I woke up again around 09:00 the phone was dead. Thats only 7 hours.. and in standby mode!
I'm on the original HTC UK ROM and I have only installd a couple programs like the Kaiser Tweak, Handysafe, Wififofum, Sprite backup, Citrix client, puTTY, PocketRAR, Total Commander, TCPMP, Flash player, PK NewWarningColorBatteryClean3G, HTC GPRSmonitor.
So I'm guessing one of these programs drains the battery even when the phone in on sleep.... the ones I installed since 20/12-07 is PocketRAR, TCPMP, Flash player, PK NewWarningColorBatteryClean3G.
Has anyone had battery problems after installing these..
Any help is appreciated.

it is a hardware problem
when I hold the cable of the charger and push it against the usb port it does charge. when I stop pushing it stops charging.

Help! My Diamond won't power on!

not good!! I'm traveling on business and the phone just shut off! When I tried to power it back on it went to the touch diamond logo but then it shuts back off. I can't take it anywhere local since I'm in USA and bought it new from eBay.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
did you check battery is seated properly, and has charge? what changes have you made recently? maybe a hard reset may work but you can loose data. more info leading up to this point would help us, wich will help you.
try these
1- remove the battery and put it back again after 10 min
or
2- plug it with your computer USB then tern it on
or
3- do hard reset
if your problem not solved then you need to bay a new battrey
#2 solved it! Hooked it up to my PC via USB and it powered up after about 10 minutes. The battery was completely dead, even though it said it had roughly 75% of charge. For some reason my home/car charger must be bogus (even though they are HTC branded).
Thanks so much for the quick reply's everyone, you really saved my a** miles away from home!!

I had a similar problem. My phone would restart all of a sudden and then show me a 50% loss in battery charge, even though the battery had over 75% before it restarted. A few minutes later the phone would turn off and the battery completely dead. This happened a few times, I hope you don't run into the same trouble.
I sent mine back on warranty for repairs, I hope they can fix it.

Reboots after I remove the batter

What the heck is going on?
I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with the ROM, because it did this with the factory ROM, Manila 2d and now WM6.5.
I turned the phone off, unplugged it, removed the battery. I put the battery back in, replace the cover and press the power button. Nothing happens. I plug the phone back in to the wall charger and put power, it turns on....for about 3 seconds then reboots and it would seem that it will do this for as long as I let it go. If I unplug the phone while this is going on, it will die.
The last time this happened, it took it about a day and a half to sort itself out. It almost seems like its a battery issue.
Any thoughts or ideas?
UPDATE!
I took the sim card out of the phone for a few seconds and the phone seems to be working now.... But its been up and running for about 20 minute now with no sings of acting up.

tried to charge the pda all night the light stayed orange and never turned green indicating full charge. tried hard reset and when it goes in to prepare rom it shuts off like dead battery. when i plug in the pda to charge battery and then turn on the phone it freezes on splash screen. if i turn on phone then plug in to charge it acts like i havn't pluged in charger. is it the pda or battery?
I am not 100% sure on this, but to me it sounds like the battery.. and that is a MUICH cheaper option to test out... unfortunatly you ahveto wait for shippng typicalyl unless you have a friend who has the same phone.. I got 2 backups and a stand alone charger now... The other option could be your USB port... I have not heard this specific problem with them.... but I am a PC tech and have seen very simmilar problems with laptops... Usually the first think to for is the power port... Just like out phone, if the device is not on a flat surface and such when it is plugging it, it tweaks the port and it eventualyl breaks... on laptops it is not uncommon that when plugged in, the LEF wil light up saying it is getting power to charge, but it enver charges the battery, and even sometimes can;t power up the full system.. .It sort of sounds like this is what you phone is doing as well.. .If that is the problem the stand alone charger would work (my son broke off his usb all together and now syncs via bluetooth and jsut changes batteries.. he has 3 himself as well) If you search online, you can usualyl find a kti with a battery or 2 and a charger/dockign station for under $20US total. Good luck!

tried bootloader and installed official att rom and never shut off. when it was finished with install same issues appeared. help
For anyone facing this issue I would not recommend wasting money on a new battery as this issue has been around with few users since the Kaiser "Tilt" first came out and I've never seen ANY reports that a new battery fixes this. People have bought new batteries, fully charged their battery from a docking station, tried their friends fully charged battery all with the same result. I had this power down issue a Looong time ago my first week in with the Kaiser and managed a fix and am using the same battery now. Although it seems the battery is not being fully charged it's important to leave it charging until you'd assume it's fully charged and get into bootloader mode and flash an official htc Tytn 2 rom. It should flash completely, and the fact that it does not die immediately as on normal boot indicates it is not the battery but the rom. It did take me the whole afternoon of Flashing, recharging and repeating before it finally kicked in. Also, from reading older posts, it seems most if not all users like myself fixed this by flashing the older official htc wm 6.0; worth a shot at least.

Yup, that is what I had to today (I hard reset, actually), with barely enough battery life to do this.
Then the bloody unit came up and was charging - amazing, really!
(Was using the official HTC 6.1 upgraded WindowsMobile OS)
here is my 2 cents....
I owned five Tilts, replaced four of them with warranty issues ... so i have faced this dilemma on at least two of them.
First see if the USB tongue is loose. To do this try to gently tap it with the stylus. If the tongue inside the USB port is loose then you will be facing rebooting and other issues and troubles in the future. The USB tongue gets used and jerked every time you connect your device to your PC or wired headset. If you are still under warranty and the USB connector tongue is loose I recommend returning the phone ( if you still can) and getting a replacement. There is no easy fix for a loose USB connection tongue as i have taken one apart and it is very difficult to repair or replace and very easy to mess it up further.
So, my advice to all Kaiser owners... be careful when plugging and unplugging your phones through the USB. Do it gently as the connectors are very fragile.
For those that have the above issues, I recommend using a separate battery charger tray, avoid plugging the USB as much as you can, and if you must, then administer extra care. The rebooting will stop if you plug the USB cable to the device and move it up and down a hair then holding steady. And most likely you will not get a full charge or even a partial charge. The biggest culprit to this problem is car chargers, and second, is inserting the stylus by mistake (when it is dark and hard to see) in the USB port instead of the Reset hole by accident.

Some solution for can't charge to 100% (green light) - need confirm!

Dear All,
Until today, I believe many people still have battery charge problem (can not get greenlight when charge for many hours unless charge while turn system off).
TOday I just try to find what program or else cause this problem since I believe it's not hardware problem. and I just able to get a greenlight charged when I turn off "TouchFLO 3D" when charged!
I still not sure that "TouchFLO 3D" may cause problem. if anyone can confirm this please let me know too.
the step to test
got to setting --> today --> and turn of "TouchFLO 3D" (the system will return to original start menu)
Charge you phone as normally, and hope I'm right
Sorry if this post seem like to repeat again.. but I sure someone out there still want for solution to fix this problem or wait for HardSPL to flash another rom to fix this.
Good luck
same problem ! Sometimes it takes up to 14 hours to get the greenlight

This does not fix the problem, I never used TouchFLO and I do have this porblem. Thanks for the suggestion. I guess you where luck the first time you charged it after disabling.

I'm not luck on the first time charge either. I have this problem almost 3 weeks since I bourght. Anyhow, Thank for all feedback! I will keep looking for other solution and if I found I will update to you guys again

What I stated on many other threads before:
- Problem is software-related
- Phone will charge normally and change LED from orange to green, when it is powered off.
Have you guys noticed that when charging via USB and a PC it is not a problem and the green light always comes. For me I only see the problem when connected to a wall charger...

Had this problem, but it seems to have resolved it self but then again ive installed and uninstalled so many programs could of been any one of them. I wouldnt worry too much windows 6.5 should be coming out soon, we'l all have to do a fresh install then.
If you switch-off the phone for charge, it is no problem.

Just like I stated.
It could be different when you charge it using a PC: it sees what way it is charged, as you can turn off charging from USB (Settings -> System -> Energy)..
I did not try this myself, I read about it once, but will try to see what the result is.
Thanks for your comment rakh1, will try.

The same charging problem
Hy folks,
I recently switched from the X1 to the Topaz (Diamond2) and I unfortunately have the same charging issue. I confirm that it must be some kind of software problem, because after soft-reseting the device the battery shows 100% and everything is fine. I installed G-Alarm and HD Tweak (to tweak the soft keys) -> maybe one of these programs causes this problem?
If someone knows how to fix this, please post asap.

You are correct, the phone is actually charged, althrough it says it isn't.
A soft-reset does 'fix' the problem.
I never installed the programs you mentioned, so that can't be the reason. Some other people thought it was related to battery-programs, but I doubt that.
An explaination to why some people do have this problem and some people don't, might be that they have different ROMs. Every country / phone has a different ROM. It could be driver or Windows-build related, so people with a different ROM may have a different build/drivers where the problem does not occur.
What I advice to do is wait for HSPL and upcoming ROMs, where cookers can combine the best builds and (latest?) drivers from the different ROMs HTC already has released.
I called HTC about this problem, they said a hard reset should fix the problem. But i guess the problem still exists if it's a problem in the ROM. Anyway my battery is almost empty after 2 days standby, instead of a week. So it wasn't fully charged or my battery is wasted due to this problem. When my phone is almost empty i will charge it for the first time after the hard reset, i'll keep you updated.

If you did not use your phone, 2 days is short, if you did use your phone, it is 'long'. A think a average user is able to use it for 1,5 to 2 days with one battery charge, whereas a 'heavy' user will need to charge his phone everyday. I seem to belong to the latest ones.

I have problem with battery lifetime, when i look under windows/setup/all/power/and the the information tab a complete charge have never been done ?? No info at all ? I use to charge it 10 hours every day, still the battery is emty at 19:00 with just speaking in the phone.
I noticed the problem during the first charging. Light didn't go green. Day after that, I must have had something running (now my "x" shuts off the application instead of minimizing...) because when I pressed the power on button to switch on the backlight (I never shut the phone completely down), the battery was totally empty.
I charged again (using a wall charger) and the phone was charged within an hour or so. The light DID went green, btw.
Later that day I got some beeps: your battery level is dangerously low.
So I charged again, this time on USB. I checked in settings - power and it showed that the phone was fully charged, but the light remained orange. However, about half an hour after that, the light went green.
So with me, charging DOES complete including a green light, but quite a while after the status bar in setting shows that the battery is fully charged. I use a lot of music and wifi on the phone, so I have to charge on a regular bases. Will keep the battery life posted.

As you haven't charged your phone a couple of times, it is hard to say if you have this problem. Charging using USB of a computer seems to work fine for some users, but I still did not test it myself. My phone charged fine the first time, from the wallet..
Another thing is, that the problem with the led nog changing is because the battery (charge) bar is stuck. So after charging it for like 8 hours, it is still at 51%.. (for example)..
If your charge bar does go to 100%, it will go to green, I guess...
I also have this problem, but only since i upgrade my rom to the latest version from the HTC site. i have a dutch ROM. I think the problem is in the new rom. with the old 1 i did not have this issue

No; in that case I explained it wrong. My charge bar goes to 100%, and stays there, with the light still orange. After some time (mostly about half an hour or so), the light will turn green. Meanwhile, so while the charge bar is at 100%, the text still says "busy charging" (translated from the Dutch I get).

Vario iii Charging problems

My 18mnth old Vario iii has stopped charging. The orange LED lights up when I plug it in, but it isnt taking a charge. When I switch it on the power manager shows that the unit is charging, but it stays on 0% and then switches off. I've checked all the settings. If I remove the battery the LED goes red.
I've tried the mains charger, 2 different car chargers and 2 different PC USB cables. I managed to get to 2% charge by carrying the battery in my pocket the whole day, but as soon as I switched the phone back on it slowly dropped to 0% and switched off.
I've cleaned all the terminals and pins with Isopropil and then contact cleaner, and used a very fine brush to clean the mini USB terminal. I havent got as far as opening the unit right up since I dont have a small enough tool and I'm a bit wary. All I can say is it was working fine a few days ago. It hasnt had any major shocks. There wasnt any noticable change in battery performance... I use Satnav alot so I do tend to charge the battery all the time while driving.
Any ideas? It seems a bit unlikely the battery would just totally die....?
Its running WM6.1 and build date under the cover is 061107. I was abroad when the problem started but the phone was otherwise working OK.
check your pm
thanks for the PMs... It did go into bootlader mode but it's so low on juice now it wont stay on for anything...
update to the situation...
now the red LED is on when I try to charge the device and I cant turn it on any more... dead battery or faulty charging chain....?
I found the solution. It needed a slight disassemble and clean-up. The solution is here as I've got this problem on several forums...

Red Light blink after charge? And battery connecting and disconnecting

I have a problem (yeah, i get out of the camera problem and enter another) I always leave my phone charging in the nigh, yesterday, I unplug the phone as usual, and I saw that the red led indicator was blinking, and i see the battery Icon it was changing, like it was connecting and disconnecting the charger. The problem stops, but when I charge the phone, it comes back for a while, sometimes a Second, sometimes a minute. I try 2 charger and still the problem, with usb too, I factory reset and still. Any advice?
A fear another hardware problem because I am outside of USA. I was using a charger with less Am from the original because my usb cable was damage. BUt today I found a samsung cable and use the original Charger and still the problem. I see that the original charger has 1A, and the other I was using is 700mA.
EDIT: After watching the problem, I can say this.
First, the phone has a problem that the charge cant get 100%, when reach 92%, , Its Jump to 100%.
Second and worst problem, is that the phone present the red blinking light and show like disconnecting and connecting the charge when I put the phone to charge long period of time, or reach por tan 90%. And is not the usb port, because i disconnect the ac adapter first, and still the problem.And even if the phone is off, it show the problem.
So, i read about calibrate the battery, so, i did, the first time, i drain completly the battery, and charge until get the green light. I power up the phone, and still the same, 92% and the phone showing that is connecting and disconnecting.
Today i try again, but more time, i connect the phone at 8:30 AM, and disconnectit at 2 pm (I take a nap at 11 am so xD thats why I disconnect it at 2 pm) I Turn on the phone, and the first problem was solved, the battery was 99%. BUT the problem of disconnecting and connecting is still there, its stops when the phone goes to 96%, always stop after the battery drain about 3%-5% dont know why. I dont have more Ideas, and right now, I cant send it to HTC. Any idea? :/
That means your phone is getting hot

So, thats normal? Even if the battery Icon says connecting and disconnecting, even when i turn it off? I really fear something bad, today the problem is not present. But i fear charge my phone overnight now
Oh didn't see the part about battery icon showing connecting disconnecting have you tried with a different cable sounds like the cable or your phones usb port is going bad

Yes, I try another cable, the weird thing is that I disconnect the charge from the wall (no the part from myphone) and show the problem, so not sure if is the port or something, I'm using again the original charger base, and a usb cable that a friend gave to me. Today the problem isnt back, but I fear chargirng overnight or something, because not sure if the problem will be back or not. Or using my stock base for charge the phone fix it :/

stock charger base is probably the best one to use
the base is more important Than the cable right? I mean,a bad base can damage my phone and a bad quality cable not? I will watch this week if the problem is gone, I hope that was the problem and nothing worse. If happen again i will ask here again if someone have an idea or the same problem.
THanks for your time
Edit: problem back, this time i watch how the problem present. It seem that the problem comes when I want to charge the phone full.
It was 92%, and the next second, was 100% and green light. I disconnect, and show again 92% and start blinking. I connect again and start chargin, but again, 100%, green light and when i disconnect it was 94%. Is weird. Dont know how to fix, I hope is software, any idea?
I will try to calibrate battery, so, i must discharge to 0% right? I must turn off the fastboot option? (I have in spanish, is "Inicio Rapido", I think that is for never shut down completly the phone), then charge to 100% off right?
Somebody any Idea? I discharge my phone, then charge until it get the green light, and the problem persist
Guys, still the problem, if someone know any tool to check hardware can tell me the name? I dont have any Idea of what can I do with my problem. :/ sorry for double post but I cant found any solution yet
Hi again, if someone can help, I still have the problem, but after the third charge cicle (I discharge completly and charge again 4th times now) The problem is less worse, I mean, before, the problem only stop when a 3% of battery was drain, even if I restart the phone. Now, if I restart the phone, the problem stops inmediatly. So, I dont know if dischargin and chargin again will be good, because I read that can damage the phone.
Any Idea? :/ I cant send it to warranty so i dont know what to do
Again the problem persist after a restart. DOnt know why but only happen in a charge more than 90%
I'm problem charging.
My HTC ONE only charges powered off.
Look the video of the problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6NSCccjWkE
I tried the trick of the light (Hold VOL UP + Vol Down + Power button + sensor for front light) fixed, but the problem came up again, and now anything I do it back.
It seems a problem with OTG.
My car charger has an LED indication when the load is connected in the car.
When I connect the HTC, and disconnect the car, the charger light is lit.
The HTC instead of receiving cargo load is sending.
Not meeting solution

I will try, I'm waiting official kitkat to see if that fix, dont know if doing a clean RUU is better than a factory restore. I cant send towarranty right now
I dont understand the video (and sorry, it was along time and i wasnt able to read here.) Can you explain me better? My problem is still there. I want to try the video, but dont know what they do exactly. I have official 4.3 from ATT
PD: I think that my problem is overcharging o something like that. I already calibrate the battery 5 times, but, for example, right now, it waslike 80%, show the problems. I try what theydo in the video, but,never understand.And I have an idea about connecting like that (while off) And th ephone say 90%!!!!, so, maybe the problem is for that? Any idea? I dont understhand the video because is not too clear

The video I made is to present the problem.
My HTC ONE only charges powered off.
The charger only goes up to 93%. No matter what time I leave plugged into the charger.
Have managed to solve the holding (VOL Down + Power) buttons and pointing the light sensor to strong light (light bulb). Hold for 15 seconds.
Solved, but the problem returned after 1 week
My ROM CUSTOM is ViperOne KitKat.

And, what exactly do this process? My problem is that light blinking when i discconnect my phone, it like connecting and disconnecting, but stops after drain baout 5%. So, i think is something about software or th ebattery is receiving a mistake info about the charging level.
My problem persist. Or I did wrong the procedure :/ My last hope is kitkat xd
