Got my Diamond yesterday and was surprised the accu was loaded nearly 100%.
But this morning the accu was empty and I had plugged in the power supply. And the Diamond's accu was recharged on barely 2,5h (with Diamond powered off). Is it normal charging time?

I just bought a Kaiser yesterday and i recharged one of the battery for 6 hours in the night and when i got up this morning, the battery was not full but totally empty, i could not even turn on the phone, the LED is red instead of green. i used another charger but still had the problem, the phone always says low battery and turned off, then i measured the voltage of the battery, it reads 3.8V, can this power up the phone?
My question is, if i de-select the USB charging while connected to PC, would this prevent the battery from recharging by all ways?
Please offer your comments, thank you.
Hi,
I have my Diamond for about 1 year now. About three weeks ago I could not charge my battery anymore, so I bought a new battery (original HTC). With the new battery installed everything worked fine again.
After a week the problem retruned. The phone switched itself off after the battery level low warning and I tried to charge the battery after about 5 hours. So a second battery became useless.
I also tried charging by USB-cable with several PC's but without any result. I measured at the + and - poles of both batteries and measured about 0,3 Volts, so the batteries must have been drained completely. I guess the protection circuit in the battery/phone prevents charging.
On one battery I directly put power on the battery poles from another power supply, which deliveres about 10 Volts for a very short time (only for about 2 seconds). Then I measured the voltage on the battery poles; it was about 3 Volts now! I put the battery back in the Diamond and to my surprise it charged normally. I also did this with the second battery and it also functions normally again.
Tonight one of the batteries was drained again and the charger was connected after about two hours and again no charging was possible. I did 'the trick' with the other power supply and afterwards everything was working fine again.
In other situationss, when I connect the charger directly after the phone switches itself off after the battery low warning it also works normally.
The problem seems to be that the phone drains the battery completely when left without charging and when it gets too low charging is not possible in the normal way. The phone swithes itself off at about 5% charge level, so the software seems to be working ok.
Does anybody know this problem, and maybe propose a solution.
I'm using the latest stock 2.03 ROM from HTC.
Thanks in advance!
I'm having the charging issue. Having it with both of batters. Overnight charging and only 40%. Also drains like with in hour. Any solution?
Last nigth, my X1 was at 50% battery. I plugged it into computer, which was turned off, but USB on my PC is powered even when computer is off (X1 showed charging icon).
When i woke up in the morning, battery was completely dead (nothing happened when i pressed power button). I plugged it into wall charger and it's charging normally now.
50% of battery should not be consumed just over nigth and this one was even connected over USB. What caused this extreme battery drain? Was power for some weird reason traveling backwards (phone -> PC)?
Hi,
i've got some problem with my Kaiser. It doesn't want to charge the battery. Couple days ago my Kaiser screamed for AC with 7% of the battery, so I plugged it into AC for whole night. My telephon didn't want to wake up next day and only red diode was lightning. I thought that my accu is dead so i decided to bought new one. Kaiser starts normally with new accu but unfortunately it doesn't want to charge it. I measured voltago on the kaiser pins with plugged AC, there is no more than about 2-3V. Before that my Kaiser stood several days on the battery. I did hard reset, but didn't help.
Could someone measure a voltage on Kaiser pins with AC plugged in?
Does it mean that my Kaiser is almost dead?
System: KaiserTouch 23569 (release from April or June).
Thanks!

Have you tried another battery, It looks like you need a new one.
yes, I have a new one. Kaiser turns on but doesn't want to charge a new battery too.
Hello.
I bought xperia Z1 yesterday (I got it with around 22% of battery). Firstly when I got home phone was at 18% and for 1.5 it charged to 25%. I was confused with a message "21 hours remaining to get fully charged" and when I went into phone information, I saw that battery could last 3 days. Nevertheless, I went out clubbing with 25% and returned home with around 15%. I thought you need to format the battery (as I did with my previous phones) so I was using it until phone turned off completely. Phone was put to charge at 4 a.m. into a power socket using original charger which I've got with the phone and when I woke up at 11 a.m. it was not charged. It couldn't even get turned on. It displayed nothing but red light.
Then I pressed volume up + switch on/off button, it vibrated 3 times then I put it into computer to get a USB charge. Now after an hour, phone has charged up to only 6% of battery but I'm glad I can see something (meaning, it shows how much it is charged - I couldn't see anything after I woke up and disconnected it from a socket).
I searched the internet and couldn't find any solution. I see people charging their Z1's within 3 hours max and mine hasn't charged with 8 hours spent plugged in a socket. What also worries me is that it charges really slowly, a lot slower than it should be.
I'd be thankful if anyone can help me.

Are you charging it with the original cable and charger? Try another charger.
Yes, I'm charging with original adapter and original usb cable.
I solved the problem. Problem was the original usb cable. It's perfect looking but god knows what's happening inside, it could be a factory error - it's not supplementing enough current from adapter to phone.
I solved the problem by using original adapter and usb cable from my htc wildfire s. Now it's charging as it should, it'll be full within 2 hours or so (phone is turned on now and I'm making calls so it's under stress).
