maybe solved : battery drain after taking off charger - HD7 General

Accidentally discovered this.
I am still testing it. On 7.8 .8835 ansar rom currently. I noticed tgaey battery lasts longer if I did the following.
1) full charge till green led, restart the phone, phone will show orange led again turn off the charger b4 it turns green led.
2) always keep a tab with a non flash webpage in IE when phone is idle.
I have no explanation how this works but need testers to verify.report back if this worked for u

Didn't seem to make any difference for me. I am using the deepshining rom 7.8 so this may be why? Personally since the move from 7.5 to 7.8 the battery life has got worse but not too bad. :silly:

Since mango there is a phenomenon where the battery when left overnight onthe charger will drain rapidly after being taken off the charger..
For this reason alone i have stopped leaving it overnight on the charger .

Some solution for can't charge to 100% (green light) - need confirm!

Dear All,
Until today, I believe many people still have battery charge problem (can not get greenlight when charge for many hours unless charge while turn system off).
TOday I just try to find what program or else cause this problem since I believe it's not hardware problem. and I just able to get a greenlight charged when I turn off "TouchFLO 3D" when charged!
I still not sure that "TouchFLO 3D" may cause problem. if anyone can confirm this please let me know too.
the step to test
got to setting --> today --> and turn of "TouchFLO 3D" (the system will return to original start menu)
Charge you phone as normally, and hope I'm right
Sorry if this post seem like to repeat again.. but I sure someone out there still want for solution to fix this problem or wait for HardSPL to flash another rom to fix this.
Good luck
same problem ! Sometimes it takes up to 14 hours to get the greenlight

This does not fix the problem, I never used TouchFLO and I do have this porblem. Thanks for the suggestion. I guess you where luck the first time you charged it after disabling.
Dear Mr_Q,
I'm not luck on the first time charge either. I have this problem almost 3 weeks since I bourght. Anyhow, Thank for all feedback! I will keep looking for other solution and if I found I will update to you guys again
Thank you!

What I stated on many other threads before:
- Problem is software-related
- Phone will charge normally and change LED from orange to green, when it is powered off.
Have you guys noticed that when charging via USB and a PC it is not a problem and the green light always comes. For me I only see the problem when connected to a wall charger...

Had this problem, but it seems to have resolved it self but then again ive installed and uninstalled so many programs could of been any one of them. I wouldnt worry too much windows 6.5 should be coming out soon, we'l all have to do a fresh install then.
If you switch-off the phone for charge, it is no problem.

Just like I stated.
It could be different when you charge it using a PC: it sees what way it is charged, as you can turn off charging from USB (Settings -> System -> Energy)..
I did not try this myself, I read about it once, but will try to see what the result is.
Thanks for your comment rakh1, will try.
i just recently got my phone and i charge it when the phone is on and i do get the green light.......

Some phones don't have this strange behaviour, or do not have it directly, but some do get it after a (short) while..
The same charging problem
Hy folks,
I recently switched from the X1 to the Topaz (Diamond2) and I unfortunately have the same charging issue. I confirm that it must be some kind of software problem, because after soft-reseting the device the battery shows 100% and everything is fine. I installed G-Alarm and HD Tweak (to tweak the soft keys) -> maybe one of these programs causes this problem?
If someone knows how to fix this, please post asap.

You are correct, the phone is actually charged, althrough it says it isn't.
A soft-reset does 'fix' the problem.
I never installed the programs you mentioned, so that can't be the reason. Some other people thought it was related to battery-programs, but I doubt that.
An explaination to why some people do have this problem and some people don't, might be that they have different ROMs. Every country / phone has a different ROM. It could be driver or Windows-build related, so people with a different ROM may have a different build/drivers where the problem does not occur.
What I advice to do is wait for HSPL and upcoming ROMs, where cookers can combine the best builds and (latest?) drivers from the different ROMs HTC already has released.
I called HTC about this problem, they said a hard reset should fix the problem. But i guess the problem still exists if it's a problem in the ROM. Anyway my battery is almost empty after 2 days standby, instead of a week. So it wasn't fully charged or my battery is wasted due to this problem. When my phone is almost empty i will charge it for the first time after the hard reset, i'll keep you updated.

If you did not use your phone, 2 days is short, if you did use your phone, it is 'long'. A think a average user is able to use it for 1,5 to 2 days with one battery charge, whereas a 'heavy' user will need to charge his phone everyday. I seem to belong to the latest ones.

I have problem with battery lifetime, when i look under windows/setup/all/power/and the the information tab a complete charge have never been done ?? No info at all ? I use to charge it 10 hours every day, still the battery is emty at 19:00 with just speaking in the phone.
I noticed the problem during the first charging. Light didn't go green. Day after that, I must have had something running (now my "x" shuts off the application instead of minimizing...) because when I pressed the power on button to switch on the backlight (I never shut the phone completely down), the battery was totally empty.
I charged again (using a wall charger) and the phone was charged within an hour or so. The light DID went green, btw.
Later that day I got some beeps: your battery level is dangerously low.
So I charged again, this time on USB. I checked in settings - power and it showed that the phone was fully charged, but the light remained orange. However, about half an hour after that, the light went green.
So with me, charging DOES complete including a green light, but quite a while after the status bar in setting shows that the battery is fully charged. I use a lot of music and wifi on the phone, so I have to charge on a regular bases. Will keep the battery life posted.

As you haven't charged your phone a couple of times, it is hard to say if you have this problem. Charging using USB of a computer seems to work fine for some users, but I still did not test it myself. My phone charged fine the first time, from the wallet..
Another thing is, that the problem with the led nog changing is because the battery (charge) bar is stuck. So after charging it for like 8 hours, it is still at 51%.. (for example)..
If your charge bar does go to 100%, it will go to green, I guess...
I also have this problem, but only since i upgrade my rom to the latest version from the HTC site. i have a dutch ROM. I think the problem is in the new rom. with the old 1 i did not have this issue

No; in that case I explained it wrong. My charge bar goes to 100%, and stays there, with the light still orange. After some time (mostly about half an hour or so), the light will turn green. Meanwhile, so while the charge bar is at 100%, the text still says "busy charging" (translated from the Dutch I get).

Charging light

Hello. I search the forum and didn't notice this one.
On the upper right corner you have a light (led) for power.
_________________________________________
When the phone needs charging it lights RED.
When you are charging you phone it lights up ORANGE.
When the battery is full GREEN.
If I put a new battery in it starts flashing orange, green, orange, green..... all the time and with fast speed. (two colours in one second)
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?
Is my battery dead , or something has to be wrong. (i'm afraid to put the power cord into my phone)
Thanks
Is the phone rooted?
Yes, but I don't see the difference here .
I put the new battery in and didn't started the phone yet. And light where just starting to go on.
And now I could think about it.
1. I put the new battery IN.
2. Closed everything
3. Put the microUSB power IN.
4. Charging Light went ON and ON
5. Pull the power cord out in 15 sec. Didn't want to burn the phone.

CM 5.0.5.3
If this is the original battery then I say try to flash rom again. If this a 2nd battery order from a 3rd party, then it could be a bad battery. Does the back get hotter than normal the time it is on the charger?
Go into recovery and reset the battery stats. I've had all sorts of oddities show up when switching roms and the battery state got hung up somehow...Mine was telling me at 90% it was fully charged. Once I reset the battery stats this issue went away.
Worth a shot
Thanks will try.
I have the original battery in my N1 and CM 5.0.5.3 and have some battery issues. Drains the battery like crazy.
The second I have via online internet store (HK) and it's givin me this trouble,
Will reset the battery stats and try again.
___________________________________________-
New update:
NO it does not help. Just gives me a quick orange and in 1 milisec green light, then one sec no light, and repeats that sequence.
WILL wait for the dock to arrive and charge it then. Don't like to break my N1
For me the stock battery took 6 cycles to get a full days use.

[Q] Can i calibrate my battery with my phone on?

Hi there
quick question:
charge up to 100%, delete batterystats.bin, use til phone turns off. Can i then plug in my phone and turn it on?
All the guides say leave it turned off til fully charged, but lets face it, 3 hours without a phone during the day isn't always possible. Surely having the phone on doesn't make a difference, as long as i keep it charging til 100%?
thanks!
That's how I have always done it and it works just fine.
And for the thousens of users on CM7 and MIUI roms the phone boots the moment you plugg in the charger so it's impossible to charge with the phone turned off and never heard any complains about calibrating the battery problems.

Battery Bug

Hi all, i have a bug on my phone's battery. today i installed a Rom (Evervol RunnyCM) beacouse i think it can fix my problem. I Always used RUU realeased by HTC , but when i installed ICS from "System Update" on Settings menu, i have a bug on battery. I charge my phone all the night, and on morning i have green led, so i think my phone i charged. when i leave him from charge, after 2 minutes, it turns off, and when i restart my phone, i have 50% battery. Sometimes, when i get in charge my phone and i have around 10-20%, after 2 minutes of charge, i have 100% battery charged and green led. when i leave him from charge, it turns off, and i have about 5-10% of power remaing. What the f*** happens on my phone?

i have this bug, too !!!
Please help
This battery bug is a known problem for quite some time, it can have different behaviours from user to user but basically, when you restart your phone you lose around 10% of battery, but the battery power is still there, for example you can charge it to 100%, restart it a couple of time and feel the real power of 50% battery for 1 day
Me and anders tried to repair this but with not too much success, i could say the simptoms were aleviated but that's pretty much it, the battery driver seems to me to have been developed in an internship, has lot's of TODO and FIXME in the sources.
Hope this helps
so, i can't fix this? i go to buy a new battery...

My phone won't turn on

Ever since Lollipop, my HTC One M8 has been a battery hog! I'm running Venom 4.x.x and my battery only lasts less than 7 hrs. Yesterday my battery completely died, I went home to charge and it won't turn on at all. The red charge light kind of flickers when plugged in and nothing when unplugged. It's been charging for 19 hours and still nothing. What could possibly be wrong? Is there any way to recover from this?
**bump**
Did you find a solution ? I had a problem yesterday withy phone I was flashing a mod and didn't put attention about battery levels , during flashing my phone went off and the battery charging light started flashing and displaying a battery on my screen . Since then I haven't been able to turn it on anymore, I keep it plug in the charger all night and nothing
