Hiya,
about an hour ago I plugged my nearly dead Kaiser to the standart charger and connected it using bluetooth to my notebook. I was very surprised to hear the "Batter is very low" sound a few minutes later. I checked the screen and noticed that the display read "Charging" no more. Blink - and it's stone dead. I replugged the charger and started the device again. Batter was at 1% and began charging. As soon as it hit 15% of battery life, it stopped charging again, although "Recharging state: Charging" status remained. I switched to USB charger to see if it makes any difference - and it did. It started discharging the battery! Now it's plugged back in the standart charger again and it reads 14% for several minutes now. It looks more like it's "holding it there" than charging.
I tried two different USB cabels, the "wall" charger (English is really not my native language, I don't know the proper word - sorry) and no luck.
Three or four soft resets, pulling out and returning the battery, nothing running in the background - just Phone, Data Connection and Internet Sharing. I'm using unmodified radio and Sleuth 3.0 ROM.
P.S. It looks to me that the battery is discharging much more faster than I was used to. As soon as I pull the charger out, the battery drops two or three percent.
Any ideas? I'm afraid my Kaiser / battery is dead.
EDIT: The battery is warm and I can see the "charging" icon in the kaiser's taskbar

About the charging LED, usually yellow, turned to red? Just to clarify better your situation for all members here.
When the charger is disconnected, it flashes green, when I plug in the charger, it turns orange.
No RED led. That is a very good thing.
Do you don't have any spare battery already or maybe a friend will have one?
Looks like a fault battery - are you using it since when?
I bought this Kaiser about a month ago, but it's not new. The previous owner bought it in November, last year. The battery was healthy until today.
This sounds like a battery issue to me also. These are classic signs of a dying battery. The good news is that the phone is still trying to charge it.
Just as an experiment I took out my battery and put it on a multimeter. At 94% charged (when I took it out) it showed 4.09 volts and 1240mAh. I've had my tilt for 3.5 months now.
Try a hard reset could fix a program gliche if you have one..but it does sound like you have a "croaking battery"
ME TOO--
Was tempted to start a new thread, but figured someone might still read this one.
Last night my Tilt was fine,
and today I noticed that it was incredibly warm/hot to touch. After being plugged in and charging normally for a while, I looked back and noticed that the charging icon was not displaying anymore--just the normal battery icon.
This began last night as well, whenever my battery would hit 100% it would stop displaying the charging icon and return to the battery icon. I would then unplug it and plug it back in and it would go back to normal.
As of right now, it goes back and forth between refusing to show me the charging icon and showing me the charging icon. The light is yellow/orange.
Does this probably mean my battery is dying? Even when the charge icon refuses to show up, when I plug in the charger the backlight switches to the external power profile level of brightness.
It really came out of nowhere. I'm hoping it's some fluke that came out of nowhere, or that some strange registry key that decides it's going to jack up my hardware temperature, drain my battery, and not want to be plugged in anymore got changed.
It's about 2 months old, and I'd be really disappointed if the battery was already croaking.
O wise sages of xda-dev, please enlighten me. The thing charges really slowly now.
My diamond don't stop to charge.
I've tried with an extended battery (cheap 1800mAh) and with the official one, after a whole night (12h), my diamond is still charging.
Confirmed with PowerGuard after few tests,10h of charge , it mesure about 100 -120mA battery current, the battery voltage is 4,192-4,195 V.
Tested on wall charger and Usb.
Is anybody has the same issue?
Mine (ignito - o2's version of the diamond) does exactly the same thing. If I leave it charging over night the round led still flashes and it only shows about 80-90% charge.
However, if I do a soft reset, battery life is back to 100% and works like it's at 100%.
I've looked around and I think a few other people are having the same problem.
Update: Tried a Charger for a blackberry phone and it charged to 100%, maybe there's a problem with the wall charger?
Mine shows 99%, maybe it stuck on 99%.
If i reset it shows 100% too...
For the wall charger could you check the voltage a the end of the charge with PowerGuard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375292&highlight=Powerguard
Mine just sticks on a random number.
Did a complete discharge then partial charge and now it won't go past 69%! I'll do a complete discharge and full charge and see what happens...
sounds like the battery is not telling the phone the truth...
The battery has a feedback built in, which tells the phones software what charge it has, it may be a faulty battery.
ive never had a wm device that dispalyed battery correctly...live with it
Well, I managed to sort my problem out with a hard reset.
Battery life, as expected, still isn't great (or rather hasn't changed), but now the phone charges to 100% every time. Not sure whether this is a fluke or not though...
I think that why TF3D doing restart at night while charging
Did You restore Your diamond after the hard reset? And if You did so is the charging behavior still correct?
The battery issue was caused by the demo version of Navigon MN7. After uninstalling this software everythig works fine.

I have no Navigon comes with my Diamond..
I have exactly the same problem as (theboostman).
I dont thing is the battery i will send it to HTC to fix it.
I would make a hard reset before sending the diamond to htc. After doing a hard reset my diamond worked and charged well. Also try to charge your diamond in "switched off mode" (I mean holding the on/off button for 3 seconds...). Im sure the led ring will show ou a full battery within 1.5 hours!
I am not sure which software changes the settings for charging, but I am sure it is not the hardware
Could anyone tell me the default registry entry for batterypoll? Thanks!
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.
Dear Mr_Q,
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
Thank you!

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...
R
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.
i just recently got my phone and i charge it when the phone is on and i do get the green light.......

Some phones don't have this strange behaviour, or do not have it directly, but some do get it after a (short) while..
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).
Ok.I seem to be having a problem that is relatively common. My Xperia battery died and wouldnt charge.
Getting the constant red light on power button when charging.
I read other peoples experiences on various forums and tried both hard and soft resets. Tried holding the volume down and power button. Tried taking the battery in and out whilst charging multiple times.
Nothing worked
Phoned vodafone and got them to send a new battery out & the exact same thing happens with that. Nothing
So on reading there isnt enough voltage through the fone to charge i bought a wall charger that the battery sits in on ebay. which has a 4.2v or 8.4v output.
It has went green indicating the battery is now charged. Yet the phone will still not turn on, enter bootmode or hard reset
I can send it back to Voda for repair but i would lose all my photos & numbers. I know its not completely dead as when i plug it into the pc via usb even though it doesnt turn the handset on widows does agknowledge that something has been plugged in
HELP PLEASE !!!!!
if your battery power lvl is too low ur xperia wont start just let it charge for 5-10 min and try again
Hello,
There is someone else here who posted about this problem about two days ago, maybe you could find his thread and see if he solved his problem.
I had some problems with my phone going dead aswell. Now I have a custom ROM and it does not happen anymore...but you will loose all your data with that method aswell (oh and your phone needs to be able to go too bootscreen in order to flash a ROM)
Good luck!
I charged my X1 with wall adapter. But after 2 hrs, the phone is still charging.
See the battery meter it has reached 100%. Then wait another hrs, the phone is still charging. After almost 4 hrs, the illumation light is finally off.
Q: Is it ok? Does it happen to yours?
dosen't wake up
after the x1 charges to full battery, the device dosen't wake up on pressing the power button, this thing is new, almost few weeks, i don't understand, is a hardware problem or a rom problem... can anybody help me with this,
ps... the xperia illum lights dosen't turn off after charging, and charger disconnected they still blink
It's normal behaviour of the Xperia X1 to keep charging when the battery meter has reached 100 %. And it's also common for the charging process to take some time. I don't know exactly how long the process takes because I usually charge the battery during the night but charging an empty battery is certainly not accomplished in under an hour.
Your second problem could be a software issue. What rom is installed on your phone? Custom or stock? Have you tried a hardreset yet?
It happens to all X1. AFAIK, it's okay to disconnect the charger after X1 reach 100%, no need the blink to be stopped. The same thing is happened to my previous HTC too.
I don't know any Windows Mobile Phone that stops charging immediately when the battery meter has reached 100 %. One reason is that the meter only measures in 10 % steps. So when it reaches 100 % it might only be 96 %. To charge the battery completely you have to leave it connected until the leds stop indicating the charging process.
Okay guys, I got u people's meaning, yeah I remember that it was happened to my elder PDA too, O2 mini. Thank you people, to spend your time. Sorry bother you.
