Kaiser not charging

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.

wont charge

ok i bought a new battery because my last battery drained and wouldnt charge back up. and now wen i charge my phone it just drains as if it wasnt plugged into the wall charger.

I had a problem where the Tilt wouldn't charge until I deleted a waiting voicemail and a few unread emails. This was on a cooker ROM but check it out.
Hope that helps.

check the connector on the phone and see if it is broken I remember on my first two tilts it broke and I had to get new ones (warranty) and then the third ones broke but i used a small screwdriver and put the pieces together again.

Don't throw away your old battery because it's probably not to blame and you can then have a spare. How does it go if you attempt to charge via a USB cable connected to the PC? Will it still connect via Activesync over USB? Do you still get the orange light on the left of the phones earpiece when you're attempting to charge it? These are some steps that'll help to narrow down whats going on - let us know.

Had this problem using on of the original M2d (roms).
Now im running hyper dragon w/ m2d cab and all is well. Ive also experience this from a bent pin. (dont drink coffee for 1 day prior to attempting mini-usb surgery!)

umm.. when connected to the charger the orange light is on i bought a charger on ebay and it charges the batteries up so now i have two batteries using one as a spare when one is charging. the usb doesnt seem to be broken. a lil background i spilled water on it a lil while back but the phone works fine i have a feeling that that may have something to do with not being able to charge but why would the light switch over to orange then when i charge it. sorry if this seems really noooob

My Kaiser failed recently with not being able to charge. Most of the time it didn't charge but if you wiggled the connector around the charge light came on, then went off moments later as the connection/wire combo moved. I contacted Orange and they sent me a replacement. No problems since.
Most of the time my PDA goes into a charging cradle but when that fails I use the car charger/other mains lead.
As for being a Noob, we all have to start somewhere

My fix
Stuck my stylus in there by mistake and could only cvharge if i wrapped the cord around.
I recently bought a rechargable battery pack for my daughters wii, and it came with two usb cords (from target $26.99), and one day i plugged my tilt in and it charged no problem, been using this ever since (November to now).
Cnn.cn sells the usb part of the phone, Im just to afraid to solder the old one off and the new one on. Might try it one day!

I have the same problem currently. I plug in and the light comes on, but the battery does not charge. I'm waiting to borrow a friends battery so I can reflash to standard to send back to HTC!

I got my phone wet last week and I am having the exact same problem. I have a battery charger and 2 batteries so I am doing the same thing as you but it's getting a bit old.
I dont have a warrany so I'm hoping to find some good ideas here as to what (if anything) can be tried.

Update:
I decided to crack open the case tonight and take a look inside. Unfortunately I couldn't find any youtube video tutorials so I had to just go carefully and not force anything. I ended up only having to take apart the motherboard side (keyboard side). Once I had the phone completely apart, I taped a known good battery in and connected the charger. A physical inspection passed, no burns or shorts that I could see and no funny smells. After about 30 minutes of charge time, I unplugged the charger and the battery power had increased 10%. Sweet.
It turns out that the battery I had in the phone when it got wet may have been ruined though. That one will not charge even in a standalone battery charger. That's allot cheaper than the alternatives I was thinking about though. The Fuze was really calling my name today for a couple hours. Saving $500 though feels pretty good.

IGO charger not working?

I have an IGO charger that I use as a home/travel charger (easy to carry; I can also charge my BT). I haven't had any problems with it until now.
I plug my Tilt in every evening for a minimum charge time of six hours. The phone is on, SPB Backup runs once during the charge, everything else is off.
I've been noticing for the last 5 days that I unhook the Tilt with less than a full charge. Today was only at 55%. I plug in the BT every other night, and it doesn't seem to be suffering. The battery is the OEM DynaPack 1350mAh and it's seated properly. It's also charging fine through the USB connection on my laptop (although it takes a while). Do I need a new battery?
Also, any comments on the Innocell 1600mAh battery?
Thanks,
SBJ

odd i was just going to ask this
im in the same boat as you my igo car charger stopped working the other day too. I noticed it on my trip the other day plugged it in and it reset my phone and would not turn on just the redlight would show. Had to use my laptop to charge it. Now it tells me that it is charging (orange light and windows says charging but the battery just gets used up). my charger still charges my moto headset. i was going to call igo and ask them if they had an idea. Im afraid to try to use the tip on my work phone (att fuse) since its brand new. let me know if you figure anything out and i will do the same.

Volt, Battery, Charging issues.

Figure out... A long story!
I bought a vehicle charger for my beloved Xperia X1. Suddenly, the fusible of the charger blowed.
I tried to charge in my original charger AND in PC USB and the phone showed AC indicator. But the battery was still being drained until it finishes.
Checked battery and it was in 3.7v (it should be 4.2v). So, o plugged the USB power straight in battery, to send 5.0v. Charged just a little bit, turned on the phone, then it was dead. Forever.
Ok, I bought a new battery. The stupid seller from MercadoLivre (Brazilian eBay) sent me a BST-40 (3.7v) instead os BST-41 (original 4.2v). Wasn't the same size, but I made the connection. The phone turned on!! Amazing. But, altought It was plugged in wall charger, the battery keeps draining.
I ordered a external charger and a new battery. It takes 15 days to arrive =/.
So, someonde could (PLEASE) use a voltimeter and measure the voltage from PHONE without Battery and PLUGGED in original charger? Mine is telling now 3.325v.
I'm still hoping that nothing happened to my phone...

My X1 has no power (pls help)

HELP!
Last night, i've been using internet thru my x1. Before I slept, my battery is full charge. Until i woke up this morning, i found out that my x1 was off. So I press the power button but there's no power at all. I tried to charge it but it seems that it also didn't charge the battery (no blinking lights on 4 sides corner of unit). I tried to soft reset even hard reset but still no power. What will I do? Is there a possibility that my x1 can fix? How? Do I need to reprogram the unit? Anyway, i didn't upgrade the system of my unit that's why I have no idea why my x1 dont have power.
PLS HELP ME!
I want to bring back my beloved X1 to its normal.

I know the mean of what you say,but my English is so-so,so I can't express well....if the power is empty,you have to charge the battery by this........

what if its still not working if I use that kind of charger? is there any other way?

Sorry I don't know,but I have to say,when I bought the X1,the seller tolds me the WM system have to use this kind charger to charge for 5 minutes when the power is empty...and then you can use the line charger...

but as far as i remember, the last time that i used my x1, it was full charge before i slept last night. but when i woke up, my unit was totally off. how come that the battery was drain?

I don't have the problem like this.....sorry....or it is the battery's problem??

hey...can you understand what I say?My English is not good,haha...sorry

Oh...is 2:15 AM in China,too late,I have to sleep now,see you tomorrow..haha...

How old is the battery.
It life span maybe over and it will lose the charge rapidly.

Use the included wall charger to charge your X1 for a few hours. Then it will start again.
Battery age should not be the problem here, the X1 is not THAT old.
Sent from my XPEROID using XDA App

my x1 including the battery is 8 months. i dont have the wall charger because i bought it as 2nd hand. do you think, any wall charger can charge my battery even if its not an x1 wall charger?

Why not try to use the other battery?sometime is the battery's problem....

what other wall charger you got that has USB as connector jack?
even if you have one I'd be very careful with that, the batty requires specific received voltage

u probably have left on the wifi, which drains the battery like hell, that is why you have the problem.
I have no other charger than the usb one and when that happened to me I left my x1 for 30min to max 2 hrs charging and it is now working again.
I have had this issue more than once and trust me there is no issue at all for me, so dont dispair.
Good luck

i didn't use wifi that night. actually my x1 was connected to my laptop thru usb because i was transfering songs from my laptop to x1. then i tried to open my facebook thru x1 while my phone connected to laptop. then i disconnect my x1 because i will shut down my laptop. on the next day when i woke up, my x1 was totally off. i tried to hard reset but it didn't boot. by the way, my laptop was connected to internet broadband.
Do you think that is the reason why my x1 got that kind of problem?

One night i had same problem. but next day i discovered that power option of my X1 sets on: "Turn off device if not used for(on external power): not selected"
and apparently power consumption of my x1 was greater than charging by USB!
there is only on way to solve your problem! Direct Battery Charging!!
you cant charge your phone by wall charger! you must charge the battery directly with power supply.
sorry for my bad Eng
