Hi,
My kaiser has been running fine, i installed a couple of apps this morning and all of a sudden my battery drained from like 70 - 80 % down to 15 %. even though i have plugged the handset into the charger the battery continues to discharge. I have uninstalled the apps from this morning but i have no power left in my kaiser and awaiting some charge to check if this has made a difference. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Still no luck after uninstalling some programs. Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks
Does the phone charge at all? Did the phone ever indicate that it was charging even though it wasn't? When you were attempting to charge it, was it through a wall charger or through the computer? If it was the computer, make sure that "When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC" check box is not checked.
I wouldn't rule it out as a software only issue. If you were doing everything correctly, and it still wasn't charging, then there could be an issue with the charger, the battery, or the usb connector on your phone. I had unknowingly damaged my connecter before, and when I went to charge it, it said it was charging but in reality it wasn't.
I was charging my galaxy tab while it was off to try the honeycomb rom. It showed around 8/10 and jumped to 9/10. Then I removed the cable from the wall plug and plugged the usb in my computer. The tab showed the charging battery stuff again. This morning is zeroed my battery to get better monitoring results. Then I unplugged the USB and opened my tab. It showed that the battery was 99% full. So I plugged in the charger again and in about 3-4 minutes it said the battery was charged. I plugged in the usb to backup data.
Did I kill some of my battery?
Edit: thanks to this post, my problem has been solved. Thanks!
So last night I went from stock motorola 2.2 to this wonderful-seeming version of CyanogenMod on my UK milestone - the install went flawlessly, but now I have a problem - my battery is not charging at ALL.
While the phone was on last night after I charged it, it was plugged in, first to my PC and then to the wall socket. In both cases, the battery indicator had a ? (question mark) on it.
I thought it might have been some weirdness with battery calibration so I left it and plugged the phone in from the wall to charge overnight. This morning, my phone was telling me to connect my charger (despite it being plugged in) and on removing the power cable, it died due to no battery power left within 10 minutes.
While plugged in from the wall, the battery indicator comes up but again just contains a ? on it. The little white light next to the power socket never lights up.
If I plug the phone in to my PC via USB then if the handset is OFF, the white light comes on and around 10 mins later it gets enough juice to boot up. The problem is that when the CM7 software starts, the little white light disappears, the phone stops charging despite the cable being present, and it then dies 2 minutes later.
I know the battery is fine because it was perfectly fine before I installed CM7.
Anyone else experienced this problem and/or know how to fix it?
One thing I did manage to do before it died was install a battery calibration app that I found on xda-developers - this told me that the battery was running at 3267 mV - any idea if that's good or bad?
(and yes, I'm using precisely the same cable/charger I was using before I put this version of CM7 on, so I know they are fine - they charge a friend's SGS with no problems)

Try plugging the phone into the wall charger, without the battery. Try and boot it up and let it boot. Once it's booted up, give it a bit and try and put the battery in and leave it to charge.
What happens if you turn off you phone and plug it in a wall charger? If the problem isn't in your battery it will charge fully.
When you phone comes up, try to disable the 1% battery steps in settings. I got a problem with it, and after disabled/enabled it worked fine for me.
Hope this helps.
On plugging it into a wall charger, the phone comes up with its special battery charging screen (i.e. a fullscreen battery level indicator) - no amount of pressing the power button seems to get it to boot properly (with or without the battery).
I'll see if I can get in and get rid of the 1% steps thing later, thanks for the suggestion

Dude, that was PERFECT.
Managed to get enough juice into the thing to get into the menu for a moment and was able to disable the 1% battery steps option - soon as I touch that tickbox, the battery indicator switches from a ? to the charging symbol and the phone starts charging. Thanks a million!
Nop dude, you are welcome
Hi guys i have been having this issue for 2 days now. I have tried many solution in this forum but they won't work. Here's my issue.
1. I used up the battery. When i charge it, the screen with battery and lightning icon appear, then the charging meter. These 2 screens flashing were switching when i charged.
2. I let it charged until it reached maybe 30%. I turned it on then plugged the cable in, not charging. I had tried turning it off and charge, it was not charging too.
3. I had used up the battery again and plugged the wire, it was charging with those 2 screens flashing.
4. I let it charged for whole night, until this morning it said it had been fully charged to 100%. I turned it on, it still doesn't charge when turned on.
Someone please help me. I tried volume up and power button, volume down, both volume buttons and power button. Nothing work.
Please help me guys!
Hi, I need urgent help.
After running my battery down to less than 5% at a friend's house, I turned my phone off, took out the dried battery and plugged a full charged one in. However I cannot get it to turn on again.
If I plug it in (with the fully charged battery), it might either flash a battery icon on the screen then turns off. Or it could start normally (shows the battery is fully charged, but doesn't recognize it is plugged in). But as soon as I unplug the cable, the phone dies.
did anyone experience this problem before? Is this a hardware problem?
thanks
