Charge: slow until 65%, then jumps to 100%?

Lately, I noticed that when charging my tilt with the charger, it takes forever to get to 65% and then in almost no time, jumps to 100%. Is that normal? Does something need to be done? Do I need a new battery? If so, what's recommended?
Separately, when using WIFI, it uses over 400 mA -- that's outrageous.. Any way of improving that, while still being able to stream audio (ie power saving settings may be an issue)?
What's a good battery meter to help debug things?
Thanks

I have the exact same deal going on with my battery charge. Started happening not too long ago. With the stock ROM and with hyperdragon III ROM, I always see the jump.
I'm not sure what the problem is but I figured it was a false charge in that the battery's capacity has really lowered from the original 1300mAh. Also, thus why your batter drains much faster than it does (so does mine). If anything, it's probably just a normal battery problem which could probably be solved if you got a new battery. I haven't tried (yet). The battery life went from 3 day's of casual use with some data connecting here and there, to 1 day and if im lucky, a day and a half.
Hope this helps out a little. And if anyone has the real solution, do tell. Thanks.
Regards,

I had the same problems. Took forever to charge. Battery life was horrible. Could only make a 3 minute phone call on a 100% charge before the phone would shut off. Ended up being the OEM battery was done. Lasted about 1 year on heavy use. Bout a battery/cradle charger from Amazon that came with an extra battery. Also bought another 1600mah battery. Both of them work great. No more charging problems.
Simple answer, like us, batteries die.

I too think it's a faulty battery (which may still be covered under warranty). It's always a good idea with the TyTN II to have at least one spare battery for long trips etc (I have the original and 2 spares as well as a cradle which recharges spare batteries). The O/P should try another battery to confirm that works normally and if so and the original battery is still under warranty, contact HTC/The supplier to see what can be done. IF they need the phone (and I've never tried claiming on a battery under warranty), make sure it is fully reverted to 'as from the factory' status using all official ROM/Radio/SPL before sending it in.
Edit: The o/p could also try cleaning the battery terminals (using a cotton bud soaked in contact cleaner) to make sure high electrical resistance has got nothing to do with it.

Battery Lifetime

Ok i am new here to windows mobile this forum and the x1 as i only have it for about 3 days. But my question is, is it normal that it uses 57% ram when idle? And is the battery supposed to be empty at the end of the day (i leave it charging when i go to sleep)? I got the Hard-spl and Touch-IT v4.5 landscape installed.

The ram is normal for the rom, but the batt life aint.

What is a normal battery life then?

Depends on what you're doing with your phone.
The battery life can vary between a few hours (full usage of WiFi and/or Bluetooth and MP3) to 10+ days (most time in standby).
I have 4 days with average usage.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=495841

I charge it each day.Nomatter it's 90% or 30%.
I never now"will I use my X1 to listen music or go surfing tomorrow?".

Uhm i got 1 day when i am not using the phone and it's just on standby mode all the day and no i don't have wifi on. But i don't know if GPS goes on/off auto but as far as i know it's off.

If make x1 just standby and never used it,maybe a week or more.
But,who can buy a mobile just make it standby
I never mind it,get one more battery maybe a good idea

Hmm i think ill just wait for a week or so and look what happens as i just had it for 3 days.

3 days is enough for me...I can not believe my x1 could do it...
I don't know is there the "momax battery" in your area..
My friend told me the battery is better than the original one.

You should search the forum... there are some ways to increase battery life... the biggest issue people have is that they don't fully charge the phone before switching it on. There is a bug in WM which takes the battery charge at the time to be 100%. It will not charge above this figure unless it's turned off.
So turn off the phone and fully charge then restart the phone and it will set the charge level correctly.
Then see what life you get on stand by... I bet it's lots higher.

No it doesn't, i switched mine on at the phone shop then charged it at home. Worked fine

Wow... that's a nice kick in the nads... could you at least let him try it? I know I had the issue when I first got the phone... did this and it helped me. But of course, if you haven't had this problem dadeadman you must be universally correct.

I'm gonna give that a go. Since going to itje v4.5 my battery life has been completely naff, doesn't even last a day :-(

my experience with a cheap aftermarket hd7 battery

Recently I bought a cheap battery which is obviously from china.
And it looks like the original HTC battery with the same black colour.
On first use it came with 80% charge level . I used the battery until it drained . It lasted the same as my original worn out battery of 6 months at the same percentage (maybe due to old batt stats in the is)
the following charge cycles( full drain and full charge)
First full charge cycle -battery only charged to 72%.
2nd cycle - battery charged to 75%
3rd cycle -battery charged to 83%.
one of the major difference is that with this battery,the phone shows that red juice cylinder , when it starts charging from 0%. Something I didn't saw with the original HTC battery after mango beta .
The first 2 cycles the battery exhibited the rapid drain symptom after plugging off the charger .
after the 3rd cycle it does not have this behavior and drained normally.
After this 3rd cycle the battery indicator was stuck at 80%. Used the phone for 3g browsing for 30 mins . Restarted the phone and it showed 91%. Used till 77% and charged the phone to 100%
At this time the battery is doing great . Will do another cycle a few days later to see how it goes.
In between these charges I had some small partial charges.
So far the battery now holds better and able to surf continuously on 3g for 40 mins and its at 90%, WiFi off , location on ,bt off ,battery saver on ,
the funny thing is that it is like the same quality original HTC battery .
is is mango with latest firmware update.

there are some problems with the original HD7 HTC battery.
mine did not last long before it died.
HTC needs to do QA on its batterires. They are the worst ever used

I recently (two days ago?) had a big 3500mAh battery arrive which i ordered from the internet, i paid about £14 for it. I've noticed it's a little weird in terms of performance, and i'm not sure if that's anything to do with the HD7 software side, or if i've just been ripped off.
3500mAh is ~3x the capacity of the stock HD7 battery so i was expecting charging times to be way, way longer but also for my phone to last a good deal longer too, but i've just been seeing major inconsistencies. My new battery would charge and discharge faster than the stock one that came with my phone, it'd stick on 99% charging, it's really confusing.
At the moment, it seems to be behaving itself with 56% time since last charge 15 hours, time remaining 9 hours. I have reason to suspect that when you use a new battery that the battery information Windows Phone 7/7.5 provides is WILDLY inaccurate, and it might take some time for the software to get used to the new battery.
I'm not sure, i'm just finding batteries really confusing!

try using a custom rom, the battery usualy lasts longer. the sdcard tweak works well . i beleive its a prblem with how wp7 OS handles the sdcard power management
i beleive the OS uses power consumption vs power capacity to judge the gauge. also u whenever u full charge the battery , u need to let it rest for a few hours. so ideally every evening u get home, charge it to 100 % from whatever is left with and unplug from the charger immediately after full. leaving it ont he charger whole night seems to drain it when u take it out fromt he charger next morning and start using it.
try using this app battery discharger ( free ) from the marketplace: it calibrated my battery well
when its close to dying like 20%, just run this app , and fully drained, charge full again
now my battery last 30+ hours on idle. i am not sure if yr 15 hours is correct on that size u have ,

yep i agree, the original HTC batteries seem to be worst than the cheap aftermarket versions

P20 Pro Battery Issue

Hello, I hope all of you are well and I can get a reply or suggestion from you guys for this.
I have a new P20Pro. Bought it on the end of October.
The battery life is absolutely great with almost two full days of usage.
The issue I got is this.
When I am using my phone and it comes on the last 10% of battery it staets droping by 2-3% immediately. So it will go from 10 to 7 and then 4 and then 2 and immediately shut down.
The whole thing would happen to 3-4 mins in total.
When it gets to 2-3% it says it will shut down in 30secs and never goes to the last 1% or 0%. The other thing that bothers me, connected with what I said before, is that when I connect it to the charger when it turns off completetly, usually starts charging from 2-3%, almost never starting from 0. Today for example turned down when it was 4% and started charging from 12%>
I have tried almost everything, recalibrating the battery, doing the charging cycle correctly, wiping the cache and factory resetting it and also chenging the settings but nothing seems to be working.
Any ideas please ?

What you describe is usually a battery problem on older phones and a new battery remedies that. Mine us also in a bit of hurry ti switch off below 15% so I make sure to keep my juice always relatively high. I might take it for replacement of battery in a few months to have a new one after 500-600 cycles [emoji4]

Mine starts shutting down at 6% I think! It's caught me out a few times, thinking I had at least another 20 minutes.
I can't complain about the battery life though so no big deal really. Conversely when I unplug from a full night's charge it can stay at 100% for ages whilst using it.
I'm guessing either calibration is a bit off or EMUI is really going the extra mile to protect your battery from being damaged by draining too low.

almost 2 full days usage?
man I barely get one day, the battery is being drained quite quick
I just switched from OnePlus 5T to P20 Pro, and the battery life of the first is way ahead (and recharges much faster)
maybe there's a problem with my p20pro?

Hi!
Follow the below steps.
Phone manager>Do optimise>tap on battery icon>Optimise battery usage. And dont let any apps to run in background. Using auto start manager you can control the apps which are running in the background.
and please post the battery usage details and check which app is consuming more battery & kill the apps which are consuming more battery
Hopefully it would help.

Hi Thanks for your help
I will definitely do it and will keep yous updated
Meanwhile, let me bring something else: My phone doesn't supercharge. Even when I use the original cable + charger (and plugged straight into the wall) it doesn't fast charge. Doesn't display that it is being supercharged or something and it will take about 3 hours to finish charging.
This is a brand new phone which I got last week.
I used to have an OnePlus 5T which recharges pretty quick but this P20 Pro, although it is a beautiful phone, charges like my old Moto X.
Anything else I need to setup in order to enable supercharge?

Download Ampere from the app store and see what the charging rate is.
When almost empty I get a rate of 4200mA ish.
The more it charges the lower the charging rate.

When I use the original chargers from Huawei, it won't get past 1800mA
Then I went to visit a friend who got a Mate 20 Lite, he has a fast charger and I tested his in my p20pro and it went to ~2300mA (and then it displays in my phone "fast charge"). However, if we use on his phone, it will go more than 3500mA
The supercharger won't come by default in the box? I'm asking because when I got at home I checked the output of my recharger and it shows 4.5-5v -> 2A, it seems it isn't the fast/super charger

Hi there! What you have described with the battery percentage going to 3% and then immediately to 0% is an issue on ALL Huawei phones. I had previously owned a P10 LITE, a Honor 7C, Huawei P20 PRO and Mate 20 Pro. They all do this. I suspect it has something to do with the reserved battery percentage . It shuts down quickly so that it can keep 2 % and not drain completly. I do not know the benefit of this but all phones do it, however Huawei's software implementation is so poor that it actually displays wrong percentages. It has nothing to do with the battery being old. They do it straight out of the box and ufortunately do not know of any solution to this.

Just an update:
I had a chat with the store which sent me the phone and then they sent me the correct charger with supercharge.
Now it works well and on Ampere it shows 4.5A

Goto Phone Manager touch power saving->Optimize.Phone Manager will rapidly identify apps or features that are rapidly drainning the battery.Touch the Optimize button net to each or feartures to disable it and start saving power.You can touch Recover to re-enable the app or feature.When you remove an app from the protected apps list,your phone will close the app automatically when you turn off the screen to save batterry.

Best Advice on preserving battery health on Rog Phone 2?

Hi All,
So I've had the Rog Phone 2 since it's release in the UK. To be honest, I'm not planning to upgrade for another 2-3 years as it runs everything I want (mainly with emulation).
Now unlike iPhones or Samsung product, there is NO WAY to arrange a battery replacement officially. So what I'm looking for is advice on how to preserve the battery health so I am not forced to upgrade. For me, the worst time is when I have to charge the phone twice a day (so far the battery seems to hold up for me).
So just wanted to check if anyone shares the same feeling as me? I use Asus's 'Battery Care' option which charges the phone from 0-80 percent up until the 'end time' you set where it will charge the last 20 percent so that it doesn't stay on 100% for too long. Hopefully this will extend the health as much as it can. But does anyone else have anymore advice to help preserve the battery health? (gosh, I miss those days where I could change the battery of the phone easily)...

For my practice, I usually charge my ROG2 from 30% to 80-85%. I use electrical timer which I set 2 hours at night when I am sleeping. The power output is 12W (5V 2.4A). When I get up I usually have 75-85% battery level depends on 25-35% when I go to sleep.
Since it only charge up to 80% when I get up and I play games as well, therefore I need to charge it at about 4pm. At that time I will use stock ASUS charger which provide 30W output.
I also use Tasker to set battery level Alert. So most of time I won't charge to 100%.
