The other day I went and bought a USB micro cable for my phone, which was different from the original one provided in my phone's package.
I never used it to charge my phone's battery until 2 days ago, which in the morning I attached the cable to my AC Adapter charger and started charging my battery, that charged in an hour or so. I got somehow surprised because of the speed but I thought maybe I got carried away by work.
The amazing thing is it's been 2.5 days from then and my phone still has something around 15% battery charge on it.
Did anyone here ever charge the phone with any cable other than the one shipped in the package ? Or maybe come accross something like this ? Is it going to ruin my battery ?
I had a similar situation a few months back when my battery was out of juice for about 4 or 5 hours (it ran out in the afternoon and i couldn't charge until much later on that night). After I charged it over night i got about 2 days out of mine too.
Wp7 probably still lacks a consistent and accurate way of telling battery life, so the phone may show it is fully charged when it is not.
Ones i charge the phone 100% i then browse my photos and broawse apps... and suddently my battery is half empty in under 2 hours time... its strange. because im not playing games with it.
I can strech my batter put over 30 hours, but that with turning everything off, It would be interesting to know how you use it, and what you have installed and turned on or off.
I have 2 or 3 days battery life when the phone is on airplane mode. But less than 1 day with regular usage.
the problem is Radio in my opinion.

anyone have anything to say about those chargers that use AA batteries, either one of them, or a couple that say they charge ur phone 2-3 times from discharged?
anyone have one that works? link it please?
is it a load of bs?
thanks
Are you referring to this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/EMERGENCY-AA-BATTERY-CHARGER-FOR-MOGUL-XV6800-6800-6700_W0QQitemZ270150736083QQihZ017QQcategoryZ20336QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247
I tried it and it didn't work. I first tried it with my battery power at 60%. I put my Mogul in sleep mode with no apps running, plugged in the charger using a fresh Duracell, and waited two hours. When I checked it, it was still at 60%. But about two minutes later it dropped to 30%. WTF!?!?! I tried it again the next day at 50%. This time the battery level stayed at 50% for a little while before dropping at a normal level. I have the 1% battery meter .cab installed. So the only thing I can really say is that it kept my Mogul battery from discharging while in sleep mode, which isn't very useful. Maybe I got a bad charger.
I ended up buying a second battery. It's actually easier to carry than the emergency charger. It's a pain to swap batteries, but I've only had to do it once. If you are runing low on battery power on a continuing basis then you'd be better off getting an extended battery.
I have a very strange matter with my battery. Normally i takes more then a day before the battery runs out of power. But last night it suddenly told me my battery was empty so i charged him and took him off on 11:00pm yesterday.
And suddenly at 1:45am it told me again that my battery was empty while i didnt used him in the mean while. So i charged him again and waited untill he was 100%. After 5 minutes my battery drained to 90%!! And i didn't even do something.
Is my battery dead? I use the 137.405.1 WWE rom. Any change of better batterylife with another rom?
I have the exact problem with you. Later bring down my set to HTC for a one-to-one exchange.
Seems like a common problem.
I sent my brand new one back after 1 day of use. From full charge the battery lasted an hour and a half.
There seems to be a difference in charging with original cable and another brand cable. When i charge him with the original one, my battery is stable, but when i charge him with a Sony usb cable and my computer the battery drains like hell.
Maybe people wanna check this out?

Hi Yzord, ook hier?
I'm using the original cable to charge my TD. The battery drained twice (same day, early in the morning and during the night) from almost fully charged to completely empty.
I've just charged my device @work, and everything seems fine now... don't get it.
However, I don't think it is a faulty battery. It seems more logical to assume that it is buggy software. Maybe the battery indicator registers the battery as 'full', while in reality it is completely empty. This would explain a sudden drain without the TD getting hot from a 'draining program' in the background.
I also suspect some software issues. think i'm gonna try another rom then.
Normally I automatically set the schedule (schema in Dutch) for Autosync to "manually". After my ROM update a few days ago I did not change these settings. Standard they are on: "When a new item is available" and "Every 60 minutes" (translations might be a bit off, but you know what I mean).
Maybe my phone was trying to fetch items of a non-available network connection, which might have depleted the battery during the night. To find out if this complies with other people having the same problem:
Could everyone who had this problem check their ActiveSync settings??
Let me and everyone interested now
I have OEM battery and it was working great for last year and half. Now a days when I put it in charging it charges the battery but my screen does not show it correct percentage it is chaged for.
If I put this battery in my wife's phone it show it is charged 100%, if I put 100% charged battery from my wife's phone in my phone it show 67%.
If I put it to charge via my phone I get led showing correctly that it is charging, even in battery status show it is charging.
Issue is it is not showing correct percentage (I think) what my be issue battery, phone , rom.....?
Old battery!!!
but same old battery works fine in wife's phone
but same old battery works fine in wife's phone.
Try cleaning the contacts on your phone.
they are as brighte as silver
they are as bright as silver but issue continue.
So this is normal?

Does a year and a half make this OEM old? My OEM Tilt battery, also 1 1/2 years old, just started giving me only about an hour of talk time from a full charge. So this is not unusual? It's annoying as h*ll, that's for sure.
I've seen the same issues between my Tilt and my wife's Tilt (actually my wife replaced her Tilt with an iPhone), so I should say between my first Tilt and my second Tilt.
The problem happens once every two months or so. I usually put the battery in the phone that shows the higher battery life and let it drain down to zero over the next few days. This has solved the problem for me so far.
If he is using a different battery in the same phone, and getting the same result, I would say its not the battery.
I'm having a similar issue, where after a full charge the phone works fine for awhile, then shuts off if i use the web browser or gps for more than a minute. After I turn it back on(and if it lets me) my battery reads only about 5%. I thought it might be the battery but even though I bought a new battery, I still have the same problems.
I've even reflashed to a new rom to try and correct the problem, but without luck.
I think maybe a year or so is about the life span for this phone. Or maybe a few escaped quality control, and we just happen to be the lucky ones.
I had a similar issue with my kaiser, then it started not charging the battery intermittently which meant id constantly wake up with a dead phone in the morning after an allnight charge.
Then it stopped charging altogether, HTC sent me a new battery which did exactly the same.
So i sent it off and it turned out to be a motherboard issue with the charging circuit.
Hope that helps
full overnight charge only charge to 70%
when i put battery for full overnight, it charge only charge to 70%. I will give it a try to drain to 0% and then see what happens. I am sure this is issue with phone and nothing to do with battery but still can not solved the problem. Can not send to HTC as warrenty already passed.
Hy there
I've been member on this forum for some time now , really like the stuff you can find here and learn about things....
ok the reason i started a thread is because I've searched the Net for 2 days for a reason , or something that would explain why my diamond won't display a solid white light on a full charge ..
i've bought it second hand and the battery was pretty much wasted (lasted only for 6 hours (without any use at all maybe 10 min max of talking) it charged to 99% most off the time sometimes it would stop at 75% or 82% ....
(even after a whole night of charging)
no problem , I've replaced the battery and it still shows me 99% on a full charge (even after 4 hours or a whole night of charging) , I've never seen a solid white light since i have the phone or a battery that is at 100%
I hope that some people out there, have some suggestions or possibly know why this is happening, and are willing to say a few words to help me
ThanX
Same here
I have the exactly same problem.
When I put the phone to charge overnight (8hrs) in the morning it has reach 66-74% top. Interesting, but "tbattery.exe" shows 4.18V. When at this moment I restart the Diamond it shows 100% charge at the battery... I tried 2 batteries, 2 different chargers and 2 cables (one OEM, and one mini-USB). I looked at google, but no luck. Any ideas?
BTW the phone connects via active sync and syncs normaly.
Regards!
achieving 100% charge
try
- turning off phone before charging
- reset phone before charging
I have a similar problem and for this reason am unwilling to leaving phone charging overnight - my previous battery swelled up probably due to a combination of old age and overcharging
I now employ a series of "top-up" charges during the day
When my battery get 28%... Automatic shutdown and i got 1%... ¿Some solution?
The battery is dead
You have to change the battery.
IMO you are better off buying a new phone. I tried replacing my Moto X battery 2 times, and both new batteries lasted only a few months before starting to randomly shut down again. The first battery was not original and lasted around 1 month before starting to randomly shut down with any battery charge whatsoever, It could shutdown with 99% or 1%. The second battery was original, came with all Motorola seals of approval, and lasted only 5 months, it started to shut down with 30% and ramped up to shut down with 50% or even 70%. I suppose that any battery you buy today was manufactured at least a couple of years ago, so most of them are reasonably aged even tough they didn't went through charge cycles, so It might explain why they tend to fail so quickly.
One advice: if you still plan on changing your battery even after reading this, do not use the Moto Turbo Charger included unless you really need fast charging, try to use a slower charger to try to preserve the battery integrity. Older battery + too much current and too much heat will lead to bigger fail rate. Also, try not to leave the phone charging overnight, trickle charge still isn't good for the battery, and it should be worse for older batteries.
Since my last battery started to fail, I'll be finally buying a new phone. Good luck.
Hello, I changed too the battery, I've successfully installed it in May. Compatible one (Losoncoer).
After only 4 months, I got some problems now. Almost the one described above.
The phone shows over 90% battery level, but it switch off. I try to switch on again and again but it can't boot.
Only if I plug-in with charger/power bank it will switch on, showing the same charge.
I tried also to uncharge the battery, keeping on in the recovery, till 3%.
I then charged the phone switched off about 8 hours.
No solution, switched on at 100%, after 10 minutes it went off.
Could you advise if you have any suggestion?
Could it be the battery? If I boot in recovery, it seems more stable...
Thanks.
