So i woke up this morning and i forgot to charge my HD2, i had just rooted it a few days ago running smoothly on Core Droid. but when i tried to charge it, it didnt . no light was showing. before i had this incident the battery would run out quickly. When i try to plug it in to the charger nothing happens, and a few times it would shwo the boot screen then suddently shut down and now that doesnt happen anymore. Do i have to get a new battery?
Running Android may mean that your phone might not shut down before the battery protection circuit activates, to prevent destruction of the cell.
Once this happens the standard charger may not be able to charge this battery, although I have read that removing the battery from the phone for a couple of hours and trying again might work - do some searching on xda.
If you have access to other micro-usb chargers then give them all a go, one might work - or you may have to replace the battery.
Also try removing the battery whist it plugged into the charger then leave it as advised above

Good idea. After this you have to charge the phone for 100% before turning it on again (just leave it overnight)
Then turn it on, let it drain completely until it dies.
This way you have re-calibrated the battery and you might get better battery life.
Apart from that, you can try the one-in-a-million power saving tips.
I have a problem someone might be able to shed some light on.
I am on call so i need to leave my phone on over night, i plug it in as i go to bed so over noight it charges. In the morning it is at 100% until i unplug it, it will go down to 78 - 85% of battery
Does anyone know why this happens??????
Thanks.
Did you calibrate your battery after flashing Criskelo's ROM? Also, the phone stops charging after it reaches 100%, so its if you think that keeping it connected to the charger all night long it will be charging all the time you're wrong. The phone stops charging to prevent the battery from overheating - charging resumes after some time though

I believe I did a battery Calibration, I used "Battery Calibration" to do this but this might not be the best thing to do a CAL.
I leave it plugged in cos i'm asleep when it gets to 100% otherwise i would unplug it, when i here it get to 100% i unplug it cos i only lose about 2% battery over night.
It should at least hold the charge at around 99 -98%.
I think Battery Calibration does the job - or you can go in recovery and wipe the battery stats there. Anyway next time that happens you should go to Settings>applications>battery use and you should check which of the processes is draining your battery the most

Nothing is draining the battery, I just want to know why after being on the charger "reading 100%" battery it drops to approx 78% after i unplug the Charger.
Even if i have everything turned on and running it should stay at 97% or above once i unplug the charger.
LOL that's just the battery acting if you don't have anything draining it. Also, just for information - you apparently haven't had everything turned on and running on the phone - I can tell you that the charger is not fast enough and cannot counter the entire drain of the battery, so you end up losing battery even though you're charging the phone and the worse part is that soon the battery overheats and stops charging. LOL
For crying out loud, use your brains and do a search for battery problems, there are so many damn bits of info on battery calibration it's unreal, first rule of forum.. "search before you ask"! Nappy change anyone?!

I did a search but found nothing regarding this issue.
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but i have just recently gotten the same problem.
It started after i installed the 2000 Mah samsung battery. I have since calibrated the battery but the problem apperently still persist.
I have several chargers, and i'm beginning to suspect that the one in the bedroom doesn't work properly anymore. I used the charger in the living room to charge to 100% calibrate and it stayed at 100% when unplugged.
Any ideas or suggestions or is it simply still af matter of a bad calibration?
When unplugging, anything in the range of 95% to 100% should be ok.
As for calibrating, i usually drain my whole battery to 0, then recharge to get back 100%
That is exactly what I did as well.
Another way you could fix this is by turning off auto-sync while you charge.
I had this exact problem, but it is caused by your phone completely charging, when it gets to 100% it stops taking battery from the plug, so its using your phones battery. Auto sync is always been used and uses a lot of battery.
Try this and let me know
Hi, I have a problem namely battery will not charge at on the phone. In the phone, the battery is kept constant at the same level, in the case where charging leave for the night reaches 100%, but Without the charger immediately decreases to the level before charging. I tried to charge the phone battery different levels, but nothing. It charges only when the phone is off.

After your help, I cleaned the file again and to my surprise the battery was loading and recharge to 86% and further something not want to charge. Then I left my phone charger at night and Without the charger has dropped to 54%. Battery Calibration gives 54%.

Shutdown your phone and then put off your battery, and see if this is inflated, maybe your battery is dead :S
and..I'd advice you don't leave overnight charging your device, this may break your device's battery
Thanks a lot Viper The Ripper for all the help.
Problem solved, the battery can not be saved and had to buy a new one. Subject to closing
However, the problem is not solved, I put new battery recharge up to 100%, acted a little state has declined to 87% wanted to recharge again with curiosity and an hour remained at this level that the problem may be in the USB cable, charger, I tried to recharge the phone connection laptop unfortunately nothing. Any advice ?
My battery seems to jump from 6% down to 1% and dies within a minute of that.. does anyone else have this issue? Would you try and find an excuse to get a replacement? I do have sprint insurance.
It seems like you need to clear the stored battery stats.
If I remember correctly, I don't believe it's a good idea to keep letting your battery fully die. I think that I read somewhere that this shortens it's life. I could be talking out my a** too...lol

You are correct, you should not let your battery die 100%. Everytime you do that, you risk doing what is called an 'avalanche' and there is no coming back from that. The reason why your batter is 1% at one point, then you reboot and it's magically 6% is due to the way the cells are charged. These cells come ****ed up from the factory... Every time. You know how when you turn on your phone it is supposed to have 50% when you take it out of the box? Wellll, that's where they **** it all up lol. The battery consists of 6-8 cells (actually not sure about this batter, might be more... But for the sake of learning we will say 6 cells).
Rather than having 6 cells charged at 50%, your phone comes with 3 at a little less than 50%, and 3 a little higher than 50%. So on one boot, cell #1 is used as the 'primary', which gives the battery stats. On reboot, another cell at random takes charge. Cell #1 only had 5%, so it showed 5%. Cell #3 had 12% so on boot it showed 12%, etc etc. The problem is, your charger just tells all the cells to charge at the same time, nothing you can do about that. BUT, there is a way to get them fully charged... And let me tell you, it sucks to do. Here is what you have to do to properly 'trickle charge' the battery.
1. Plug your phone via USB (not your charger). I recommend using a USB2.0 port, rather than 3.0 seeing as how 3.0 has more milliamps. A good way to know if its USB3.0, is to look at the port on your computer/laptop, if the inside is blue, it is 3.0
2. Let your phone charge until the light goes green.
3. After the light turns green, run zeppelinrox's Die-Hard battery calibrator, which he has in his thread here [Use script manager and run as root].
4. After the script loads up, look for the manual mode, and use the option to wipe battery stats. This will prompt for a reboot... Do not reboot.
5. Turn your phone OFF, while it is still plugged in to USB. You will now notice that the light goes orange... Dun dun dun.
6. Leave your phone OFF until the light turns green. When it turns green, power it up, WITH the USB still plugged in, never remove it.
7. On power up and boot, you will notice it has gone orange YET AGAIN [what an a-hole ]
If you don't want to use the script, get an app like Root Manager, and delete this file "/data/system/batterystats.bin", This can be done instead of steps 3-4
Continue to do these reboots and battery wipes, until ALL your cells are fully charged. You batter WILL NOT GO ORANGE after booting up and powering down when it is fully charged. This takes hours, I know. Blame all the cellphone manufacturers in the world for this. Seriously.
BUT DONT LET IT DRAIN 100% anymore. Avalanched battery sucks! It will only hold charge to a certain point like 17%, or 30% or w/e if it avalanches,

Come on...there's no need to do this.
And there's no risk of damaging the battery at 0%. There are protection circuits that kick in far before the battery would cause catastrophic damage. That said, there's also little reason to run it down to 0%, so just charge it when you can.
The battery stats file is only to display what has been using the battery. It basically only contains the information you see on your battery stats page. It does not affect charging or interact with the charging circuits at all. The phone's hardware reports the charge level, not batterystats.bin.
Batterystats.bin is wiped every time you charge to 100%, regardless of the placebo app downloaded.
Don't let these people waste your time with their placebo silliness. Just charge the phone, and let the carefully designed charging hardware do what it was made to do, charge your phone.
If it were me, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just charge before 6%. Treat that as your new zero. Personally, I rarely get down so low, so it would be really no problem, but if it truly interferes with how you use it, absolutely return it.

You seem to have coined the term avalanche. What does it mean? Link some literature about lithium polymer avalanches? The only way I see for this to be possible, or a thing, is if you're standing in front of a pile of them and some start to fall from being piled at an excessive angle.
You've been shown to be wrong about what the battery is made of, and the fact that it consists of a single cell...So I'm not sure why anyone in their right mind would trust your expertise.
My battery has no issues. I charge it over night, leave for work, come home and my battery is in the 60-70%. At the end of the night I plug it in the charger around 30 to 40%. Repeated cycle for almost 2+ weeks with no single issue.
Don't run your battery under 6%. I mean who really does that. The second my old phone would send off alarms at 10 to 15 percent I would put it on a charger.

No I don't mean the HTC one x. I mean the evo 4g. It was a lithium polymer battery. It was labeled as lithium ion on the battery itself. Much like my cordless drills with lithium-ion polymer batteries say lithium ion on them. Sorry, but, you're wrong.
Hi!
I have this phone for one month and three weeks. I notice my phone battery usage seems to drop from 100% to 90% quite quickly, but slows down after that. Another thing, I plug my HTC charger and than plug it out, the battery increases by one percent magically. I plug it back in and than it drops by like 4% or 1%.
For example, I had my phone charged at 98%. I unplug the charger and it increases by 1%, so it is on 99% now. I plug the charger back into the phone and it drops to 95%. I did this again when it charges to 99%, same thing happened.
So can anyone help me out here?
Thank you
Estimating battery charge level is very hard, especially when there is also a current draw from it.
Leave it to charge for longer after it has gone green and stop worrying about it.
as BenPope wrote, leave it for a while with green light..
same happens to me...if i take it immediately once it hit 100%, I will drop to 97% in 5min
i have same problem when device is on while charging

Thank you for the response. I heard that once the led light goes green during charging, I should pull the plug straight away from the phone. Does this help to prevent battery from deteriorating quickly? I know that the phone's lithion battery prevent cases of overcharging, but can it still be subjected to killing the battery life faster. Thank you once again.
don't know about that just thought u could probably try let your battery drain completely and put it on charge after

The One wont let your phone overcharge, as you said, so theres no need to worry about leaving it plugged in.
As others said, eventhough your phone says 100% and the light goes green, this doesnt mean your phones actually topped off. Leave it in for 10 minutes after the light goes green and the quick drop from 100 to 90 that you mentioned will stop occuring. I can verify that this works.

I see. I left the phone charge for 20mins more and it fixed the rapid battery drain issue. Guess I should stop thinking too much about it.
