Can anyone help?

I have a g1 and it is rooted. I had everything going great then my wife took it over and now it will not show the battery. Its shows 0% even though the battery is charged. I have tried several batteries. I have since went from danger spl to regular. I have changed to several different roms I was going to try to unroot but it will not let me flash DREAIMG due to it says the power sources not sufficient. I also wiped the battery stats from the recovery and nothing. I can get it to stay on when plugged up but as soon as I take it off the charge it dies. I am out of ideas. If anyone has any idea I can try I am willing. So feel free to send ideas.

It sounds like your battery is bad, call HTC and ask them to send you a new one.

Both batteries are good. Both have been tested in other G1s and work great.

Then something is bad on your phones hardawre side, have you ever dropped it, gotten it wet, etc.?

Does you lady/you take it in the bathroom with you when you take a shower? When you wiped the battery stats, was it a full battery or empty battery in the phone?

Not that I am aware of. I know that I never dropped it. She says that she didn't do anything just went dead on her like this.

The first time I did it it was full charge. but to no avail. I tried that then leaving it on with the charger in thinking it would eventually reset itself but that didn't work either.

Do other batteries work in your phone?

Does the phone get taken into the bathroom when a shower or bath is being taken? Was it left in the car for an extended period, ie longer than an hour?

Check the battery connections, they have been known to go bad.

Then it is your phones battery connectors. As to answer your question, when plugged in the phone switches to ac power instead of battery, this can be seen when you take out the battery, plug your phone in, and turn it on.

Unexplained phone shut down

Im not sure if this question has been answered but i could not find the answer to my question and i really need an answer so sorry if this is already posted.
First off i have a G1 (Dream) and have rooted it. Ive been flashing roms for a while first starting with 1.6 and Heros and now have HTCClays Superbad. Recently i have noticed that the phone just shuts off suddenly when im not hooked to the charger and im either streaming video or even just using apps. Im not sure if its the battery or the phone. Ill charge the phone to FULL then either use apps or use the brower to view video or even Skyfire and the phone wil shut off. I restart it the battery is either half what it was prior or it will start blinking red. I take the battery out and put it back in and the battery is back to green, if i open up an app itll run for like 2 minutse then the phone shuts off again. I have no clue whats going on here because ive been flashing roms the same way since the first rom i flashed which was Fasttest. Could it be the partition im using? Could it be the rom? Battery? Does anyone know whats going on here? Any help would be so appreciated!
this is my partition setup

It sounds like its the battery... do you tether on your comp alot? My buddy is on his 3rd battery because he sits tethered to his computer all night playing first person shooters, all the while leaving his phone plugged in for 8 hours straight

Ive never used a tether app before. I dont even know how lol. And i forgot to mention that when the phone shuts off and i restart i get the red blinker and a shut off then when i plug the phone back into the charge its at 75%, wth? It started doing this just recently.

you might try to drain the battery all the way down and then recharge it to get it to top shape...
if you take the battery out its not fat or bulging is it?

as junkdruggler asked, the battery is definitely bloated. So Firerat are you saying even with the battery bloated it could still be fine? and what is the OC Kernel is there a way to fix this issue?
Thanks for the help

Im pretty sure its the battery... I called it being bloated before he even opened the back... Ive seen it done before... I know I might not know as much as firerat but id be willing to bet its the battery

I missed the fat bat
but OC kernels seem to be the root of random shutdowns, reboots and freezes
and it could be what ran the battery out of spec

Its an over-charging thing...Ive seen it done to two g1s so far..Ive had mine since day one and charge it overnight almost every night. So Im not too sure of what over charging is... thats ateast 500 charges at 5-7 hours plus whatever I charge on the side at work or heavy days

Its the battery....
The same thing was wrong with mine
My battery was "swollen" and I just got another one off craigslist and it works perfectly fine
Its usually cuz you use it a lot while its charging...

Thanks junkdruggler. So ok im a little confused with your last quote, so you said its an over charging thing but then you said youre not sure what over charging is...sorry that was just a little confusing. Do you know what causes this bloating? And is this a general thing with batteries? ill avoid doing whatever causes this in the future.

Yeah im not sure how much charging or use while charging is a bad thing... like i said I charge my phone overnight, every night. on a day like today I will watch a movie on the way to work then play music til my phone dies and charge it on the way home... so today my phone will get two charges.. and this happens alot. I have no drain issues or a "fat batt"
My buddies sit on 3g with wifi tether on while charging off their usb port for hours on end.. and the bloat their batteries.. I dont know if its the heat or what..

Thanks alot man! This really helped, i ordered a new battery from buy.com. You can do all that on your phone? And you have a G1? How long have you had the battery in it? Do you have one of those extended batts? ANd i will say that i do use the phone while hooked to the charger a lot like using the blutooth. i def cannot watch a movie on my G1. I might just wait till my contract ends in dec to switch from tmobile to Att or something i thought tmobile would be the king of android phones but its been really disappointing to see all the good phones go to wack Verizon (the network i switched from).

Hi Firerat!
I got this problem too, the phone keep reboots, shutdowns and freezes randomly, more and more often.
I tried many ways: flash another ROM, change battery (2300mAh on ebay and tried my friend's HTC Rogers Dreambattery also), wipe all.... but nothing help.
I almost gave up. But when I search in this forum, I found your post.
What is OC kernels? Can you please help me solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

OC = OverClocked
if the ROMs you are using are running the CPU out of spec it is probably that which is causing the issues
you can use an app called SetCPU, this will allow you to set the CPU frequencies
default 'stock' frequencies are
245 - 384
the CPU is actually rated 528 ( I believe it was underclocked due to battery issues, but things have moved on since then, so 528 is a stable max )
OK kernels can have a range of 122 - as much as 600+,
use the auto detect feature of SetCPU and use the slider to narrow the range
160 - 575 seems to be stable
160 - 528 should be fine
Many people fall into a trap of setting a very low narrow range in a sleep profile, believing this will save battery, which it will but it will 'lag' coming out of sleep.
Personally I have the sleep profile 160 - 528
when in sleep it will underclock ( as its doing nothing ) but if I wake it ( or call comes in ) I won't suffer lag while SetCPU waits to change profiles ( it will just scale up to the max if needed )
PS SetCPU is available from the market, just $0.99, but the dev has made it freely available on XDA
so give it a try and go for the market donate if you like it/ find it usefull

Waiting for Fully Charged NC

Ok...got my Christmas NC! I was given permission to play cook it? The last thing I cooked was a Blue Angel....if anyone remembers those??? Then life really started and I fell away from things. I have gotten a new phone since then, using stock Evo. too afraid to play with it. But I reviewed the instructions for the NC and auto-nooter and think I can handle it...
I'm trying to jump back into things (thus slow and behind on current lingo) and am excited about turning my NC into a tablet! My stupid question for the day is BN instructions says I have to fully charge my NC before using. I'm not really planning on using it....just cooking it! Do I really have to fully charge it? It has about 67% charge now.
I did try and research this and came across two responses:
1. You have to fully charge or the battery will have issues
2. You don't have to fully charge but should fully discharge and then recharge soon after.
Thoughts?
TIA!!!
Edit: Hmm...have to update signature....apparently I did cook our 8125s....hmmmROM date is 2006....it has been a while!!!

Prey tell, what kinds of issues arise if you don't let it charge fully? I don't remember letting it get to 100% per se, but have noticed no huge issues...

To the OP its really just up to you, obviously it wouldnt be good if it died in the middle of update/Nooter but its rated at 8hrs so 50%+ probably wouldnt hurt.

The start up guide says to wait till 100% before playing with it.
The only thing i could think of is perhaps the battery wouldnt be able to hold a charge/not last in the long run?
Even saying it sounds stupid to me, probably just B&N covering there end, but eh ive got no experience in batterys, i just know i normally let new devices charge while playing with them the first go havnt noticed them having issues.

[Q] HTC Warrenty

Hi guys, I bought htc one, almost 6 month ago. It was amazing nd all but i still felt it wasnt working well.
Then i used some roms .. didnt help much. battery was killed. I thought it was coz of rom. Well then finally after asking alot of advice here, I returned htc one to 100% factory settings (pain in the a..) then sent it to warrenty.
Here is a list of all things they changed (attachment). Is that normal?
did i have a really badly made htc one? or did i broke the components by using unoffical chargers/roms/kernels etc etc etc.????
Since I have noticed that it works WAY faster and battery is way better than it was.
maybe its coz i used xcover 2 the time htc one was away so i kinda got used to that piece of s... ? anyhow im way more satesfied with it now than before. but still, this is first time i sent phone to warrenty so i dont know if this much changes to the device is normal or not
Ps. The reason for giving it to warrenty: battery would get to 100%, when unpluged worked normal until 60-70%, then it would just die. no way to turn it on without puting it on charger atleast for 20 minutes.
(if i didnt put it on charger.. after 2-3 hours it would magiclly get 20-40% charge lol)
sorry about my english guys

Wow they changed a lot of things here!
I see 2 options, either your battery over heated and died + damaged some components or they damaged the phone when trying to open it to change the faulty battery/usb port.
Don't worry, at least your phone is working good now, there is so much horror stories about warranty repair here, glad to see yours came back in good condition.

Thanks for the reply bro.
Now i wanna know what caused the death of the battery. was it coz i used some unoffical chargers?
(like samsung charger which is for note 10.1 tablet, and some nokia chargers)
or was it coz i flashed roms way too frequently?
I m scared to unlock it again and start flashing but i really want to

You should only use official chargers, or at least be sure they output the same voltage (5v). There are some tablets charger (i.e Asus TF101) that output 10V and that amount of voltage will probably kill the battery....
Maybe it was only a bad battery, maybe damaged by CPU overheat.... who knows
Flashing roms doesn't damage the battery

Ok, so the culprit was the tablet charger.
Well its good to know about the roms then finally can get back to CM11 until offical sense 6

Having issues suddenly with my droid turbo not responding after going dead

So I was using my phone and was running low on battery power. My ended up dying at like 5% as usual with my droid turbo. I was with my friend in his girlfriends car and plugged it into her cheap charger she picked up at a gas station or something. My phone registered the charger and then began the battery symbol like usual although it never got to the battery percentage, it just stayed as a gray battery symbol with the lightning bolt. After a while the phone screen went black and wouldn't respond to anything and figured that the charger just made the phone go dead and that I could plug it into a Verizon charger to make it work again. When I got home I plugged it in and nothing, no response at all not even the green light at the top of the phone. I plugged it into my computer and it shows up on device manager as QHSUSB_BULK. Now to be clear my phone was never rooted or had anything done to it. The phone was completely stock. I need help frantically because I need to get some media off of the phone if at all possible, whatever the cost. Not sure if just letting it charge for a while will help or not. Thanks for the help in advance.

If you plug it into your home charger it should turn on at least and show the battery symbol when charging and it should go up if you haven't tried it already. If it doesn't, sounds like some kind of charging issue.

The phone doesnt respond at all to any commands. The green light doesn't even pop up as if thebphone was clear dead. Took it to Verizon they thought the battery might be fried which I guess would keep the phone from turning on.

That is entirely possible. When I buy after market chargers, I generally only buy anker stuff. I've never had a problem with their stuff. Get what you pay for. Not that you bought that but yeah.

Yeah I definitely learned a lesson. Is there any way I can get the data off of it though? Would Motorola recover the data for me or is there some way? The data should all still be there considering there were no deletion processes. Of course maybe im wrong but I just hope I can get everything recovered.

It's possible if it will connect to your computer and you can read it but otherwise I'm not sure

Assuming the charging port is damaged you could try a wireless charger.

Well like I said the computer can read it, but thats all it can do. It recognizes it as being plugged in but cant do anything else.

If you try a Qi wireless charger, that would give it the chance to actually charge. Maybe some circuitry in the USB port is damaged and it's not receiving a charge. You actually have the phone, so you know better. But wouldn't hurt to go to a store and try putting it on a Qi charger for a few minutes as a test. When my phone is OFF and I put it on a Qi charger, it actually turns it on, boots the phone.

That is definitely a thing to try. If your computer can read it then you can easily save the files off the phone.

I'll have to give that QI a try. People st Verizon probably didn't even think of that.
How would I go about getting the data off of it though? The phone doesnt show up on computer just shows up in device manager under the code I wrote in the first post.

One step at a time. If it will charge normally with Qi and boot, then it once booted it might show up as device on PC.

I tried the QI charger and it did not work. Thr light on the Verizon pad flashed red. Thr battery has got to be fried. So im not exactly sure what to do next.

Well, you can always get a new one through insurance or through swappa. I get that it's the stuff you want to save though. Might not be able to if your computer can't see it as a SD card unfortunately.

Well the way I look at it there's always other phones but not memories. So if worse comes to worse I'll just tear the phone apart and find the internal storage.

So there's no way you guys can think of to get this data off? I could use all the help I can get

Even if you tore yours apart and found the memory chip, it's soldered onto the board. I know because I've opened my turbo to do repairs and it's not hard but not easy. Maybe, just maybe, if you had the sophisticated equipment you could apply the proper voltage to be able to read the card, assuming you could find the + and - pins on it and then also the transmit pins on it and solder yourself a usb cable to direct connect to it to the computer, that might work but would be extremely complicated. I'm a professional electronics technician and I test, build, and repair boards but not phones. I do surface mount work though. Anyways, got off topic. So unless you got that going for you, I don't see it happening.
One last thought, do you have Motorola drivers installed on your PC? Could help. Don't know.

There are youtube guides out there on how to replace the battery in this phone. It's not easy, but it's probably easier than finding the storage chip and figuring out a way to build a new physical interface to access it. New battery = resurrected phone = get your data back. Maybe.
https://youtu.be/VHFkTgjWzOo

Yeah that's also probably a lot easier than all that. The battery isn't too hard to replace. I totally over thought that.
