Hey guys,
I connected my phone to my PC over night for charging as always but when I got up and took my phone it only had 4% battery! It's like the battery just wiped itself from a moment to the other. And now when I try to charge it again the light shows it charges but when I turn on my phone after 30min the battery didn't charge at all... Did anyone experience this before? Do I have to buy a new battery?
Sounds like your battery is shot. So you may need a different battery.
Try different cables etc but if that doesn't work you need a New battery.

Tried a few cables. Weird thing though: In recovery it says 32% and when I boot it up now it says 9% but doesn't really change. Seems like the battery is screwed up... Could it be that the Desire HD has got the exact same battery? Because if it's so I could try with the battery from my dad's DHD...
EDIT: Ok, it's not the same This is gonna be expensive...
EDIT2: So I got my new battery but the phone still drains too fast imo and I can't really charge the battery to 100%... Is sth wrong with the USB-port??

This might help.
Let your battery drain completely and let your cell get switched off.
And then in switched off state, charge your phone completely.
Switch it on...Use your cell as you do it regularly.
Repeat this procedure 3-4 times.
You will be surely benefitted.
did you try plugging into the wall? different USB port?
I had similar issue awhile back that it didn't want to charge with USB but with the AC adapter it worked fine. Also noticed it wouldn't work with USB at all I sent it in for repair and it was apparently USB port broken. Then I had to send it in again because when they fixed usb they broke mainboard
p.s omg I hate captcha tried posting this 10 times ...
Looks like I forgot to post So here is what happened: I got a new battery but even that I couldn't charge with USB. Than I pulled out my AC adapter and it works fine now. Looks like my USB Port is shot but since it still works and just won't charge my phone, I'll ignore that. But my old battery was surely shot because I couldn't even charge it with AC adapter...
Sorry if this seems a little late. It could be the roms fault you are getting strange readings. When I use ice cold and reboot my phone, the battery percentage reading changes like crazy. Sometimes the reboot makes the reading go up, and sometimes down.
USB port breaking is a common fault on inc s, though, so it could be that also, as you have said.
I tried ar least 5 different ROMs so I'm pretty sure that's not it That was also the first thing that came into my mind;D
Have u checked the charger plug cos if its that stupid black charger that comes with the phone they can play up my old one does this and I have to twist it slightly for the pins to touch try a apple charger or another USB charger

Hello XDAers,
Just got an Xperia T off eBay. Brand new and tried to turn on and no luck.
Put it in charge, then realize that it doesn't charge. It boots to android then shows 0% and turn itself off back to charging mode.
Anyone has experienced such thing? I know in past some other Sony phone had this issue but I cant find anything on Xperia T.
Is this something I can fix or should I return it back/?
Any help is appreciated.

I just don't understand why people insist on buying phones off ebay. You don't know where they have been, what's happened to them. If they are legal. Get your money back (if you can) and get one from a reputable source.

Since the new style batteries do not like being without charge, I suggest biting the bullet and charging it fo a full 24 hours....dont touch it all in that time and only after 24 hours see what it does. If it is still at 0% then its FUBAR'd
i've got the same problem with my old x10 and nothing to do with a normal charge, the only solution i found is to charge it manualy with a charger whose i cut the micro usb and put the red on + and black on - of the battery and it's done , but with the XT i don't know if it's possible

xperia T does not have a removable battery so that may not be as easy as it sounds.

Thank you for this and Thank you again for putting all the info together Greg.
First off, I charged the battery for a longer time and it decided to charge out of the blue.
And second, the info you are organizing in one place has reduce the headache for many and you deserve few more thank you
Phone is working as usual.
Cheers,
Re: Xperia T - Battery Dead at 0% won't turn - won't chargw
In the test menu, there is info on factory charge, which isn't confirmed until 50% charged, I think if you completely flatten the battery that it will need 50% before attempting to start.

I keep coming back to these threads whenever my Experia T is acting up again. I finally bit the bullet and went the hardware way as described in a comment on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWox7kCygRE
"In the end I fixed this problem by removing the back cover (one screw in where the SIM card goes) and detaching the battery supply from the phone. After a minute or two I reattached the battery supply (its a little yellow tab beside where you plug in the charger) and put the cover back on, plugged into charger and it started charging as normal."
It's surprisingly simple, to be honest.
If I am charging my n7, it is very slow, and if I use it while charging, the battery charge even decreases. It is the same with another charger, so I assume that my battery is broken and I need a new one. I have been searching everywhere but didnt find anything. So PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I CAN BUY A BATTERY FOR MY N7!!
Don't you have it in warranty anymore?
Once you open it and start tinkering with it yourself, you can't return it anymore.
Still, this is the fourth link on google googling for 'nexus 7 battery spare':

Make one out of a couple of S3 batteries wired in parallel. Infact, you could probably fit 4 in there and have a super battery. You'd have to force the back on and charging would take a couple of days, Lol.
You probably don’t have problem with batter but with charger or charging cable.
I find out that if I charge my nexus with original charger AND original cable it will charge very fast, but if I use just different cable it will take forever.
don't buy a new battery yet. Try this.

I don't think you need a new battery. I had this identical problem with my nexus 7 and found this
Connect the charger to your Nexus 7, then plug the charger in to an outlet.
Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
Press Volume down until you find Power off, then press Power to select that option.
When your tablet is off, disconnect the charger, then reconnect it.
fixed my nexus 7 and would no longer drain while on charge and being used. Also you need to work out which app is causing it or you will need to do it again in a while (though I have no idea what caused my n7 to drain). good luck.
Why not directly from asus

I've had this phone for about two weeks now (I bought it used). When I got the phone the battery lasted pretty much all day for about 4-5 days. Then I pretty much started having charging issues. When the phone would fully die it would lock up. Sometimes when the phone had 80% battery it would lock up and stay that way for about 30-60 seconds. It would then reboot possibly lock up on boot for another 30-60 seconds, then if it did come on the battery would have an explanation mark telling you it needed to be charged. Now sometimes when you go to charge the phone it would turn on but have a question mark inside of the battery instead of where the colors are while it's charging and off.
I tried to purchase a battery locally and replace it. This battery does the same thing. The phone will boot for a bit, charge, then shut off. When I go into fastboot mode it says 'battery low'. When I got the phone and started having problems it was still stock everything, no root. Now I am running Youngunn's HoloBlur performance edition and the battery I tried to replace it with is an EB40.
The questions I really have are this.
1- When a battery is bad does it cause the '?' mark
2- Does the EB40 have to be calibrated some how, or does the ROM just pretty much know what's up
I don't really want to drop another $50 into a battery if that doesn't the issue. However in my past experience and knowledge of electronics and phones it seems to be the battery.
Thanks in advance!
have you tried a battery calibration app

I can't really get that far into the phone. After I get the phone booted it says low batt then goes through the power down process
Update: After reading a few threads on this site and others I've heard them all talking about using the OEM charger. I was using the USB brick I use for my Samsung tablet 5v 2a. I've just found a moto charger at my house which is 5v 550ma and the charging meter is now going up.
Thank you for searching guy.

You're welcome man!
I took the battery that I purchased back and ordered a new one off Amazon. I put my old battery back in the phone and left it alone. After the phone charged for two hours it said it was at 25%. I booted the phone up got about five mins of use out of it and it locked again and wouldn't turn back on. When the phone isnt on and just charging, does it use the ROM to display the battery charging meter?
Here's another update.. I got the new battery in and put it in the phone. I tried to power it up just to see if it had a charge and it displayed the unlocked bootloader logo and shut back off. I then tried to plug it into, still nothing. I eventually got the green light on the top to show up. At first it was blinking, then it went solid with a very small blink. After that, still nothing.
I have tried using a 5v 500ma, 5v 1a, and 5v 2a charger and still nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?
You used the stock moto charger?

I went to ATT and tried to get the OEM charger from them but they said they didn't have one. They were trying to use a 5v 1a usb cord with a block on the end. The only actual Motorola charger I have is what I got when I had my Atrix 4G. It's a 5v 500ma...
What is the voltage / amperage on the OEM charger?

I have never used the original Moto USB charger. I usually use anything that was convenient and that includes my, laptop, desktop, HTC, LG, and Samsung USB chargers.
Same here. With any of my devices for that matter. Usually the phone can dumb it down or just not charge.

And sometimes that's fine but If it won't charge first thing to try is the factory charger to rule that out.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
After going up to the ATT store and getting them to try multiple adapters it still isn't working. I have noticed that when you plug it into the computer it recognizes the phone.. To what extent I have no idea (since I only plugged it in for a minute at the store). There are also times when you plug it in and the green light will be flashing, and other times the light will be solid.
Like I said this is straight puzzling. The phone worked fine for a few days with no issues. It seems like it got wet but there's no way it could have.

This is a hoax. Battery calibration is not real (Words from a google/android employee). All these apps do is maybe clean up the battery statistics so android builds new ones (which it does by itself in the long run anyways). This process has nothing to do with the actual battery/hardware.
That's all they're meant to do. Wipe the stats so it will get a correct reading.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
Did you solved it?
I had the same issue ..couldnt fine a workaround uptill now
*facepalm
Solution:
1.Take out your battery.
2.See those contacts between the terminals? Yes, they're the battery sensors. If they're not in contact with the base plates on the phone board, do something about it. I don't know what, you decide.
3.get some naked wire and create your own screw washers, for the terminals. Screw them under the screw, between the battery board and base screw holes.
4.Tighten properly.
Done.
Now, try again till the charger accepts that your battery is existent.
You are welcome.
hello,
i'm thinking to change the battery of my xt894 (not enough power for me), and i saw this battery http://m.ebay.it/itm/121306473286?nav=SEARCH what do you think about? could this one gave me problem on phone?
I have it... and it last longer ... like a 15 - 20% than the original.
I ordered mine too! How did you install it? Drain first the original battery? And the install? Or does Android reset the statts for the battery by itself?

I bought used Droid 4 last month. Battery seems to be in good state (2-2,5 days of light use), but every time it gets to ~40% it immediately drops to 20% (within few seconds). Is there a way to delete battery stats so it can detect percentage correctly? I tried to discharge it completely and recharge again but it didn't help.
Phone is running CM11. Any help appreciated.

if battery's charge is very low, it could take a while to show any change. Normally batteries has some charge, but who know when the battery was made and packaged, could have been a couple of years ago. I would leave connected to wall charger over night.

droid 4 doesnt require a new rear cover but it will wear out quickly if you remove it frequently. you can even keep the phone without a rear cover if youd like because the stock battery has a glue that holds it together with the phone along with the screws for the flex cable
