I have a g1 and it is rooted. I had everything going great then my wife took it over and now it will not show the battery. Its shows 0% even though the battery is charged. I have tried several batteries. I have since went from danger spl to regular. I have changed to several different roms I was going to try to unroot but it will not let me flash DREAIMG due to it says the power sources not sufficient. I also wiped the battery stats from the recovery and nothing. I can get it to stay on when plugged up but as soon as I take it off the charge it dies. I am out of ideas. If anyone has any idea I can try I am willing. So feel free to send ideas.

It sounds like your battery is bad, call HTC and ask them to send you a new one.

Both batteries are good. Both have been tested in other G1s and work great.

Then something is bad on your phones hardawre side, have you ever dropped it, gotten it wet, etc.?
Does you lady/you take it in the bathroom with you when you take a shower? When you wiped the battery stats, was it a full battery or empty battery in the phone?

Not that I am aware of. I know that I never dropped it. She says that she didn't do anything just went dead on her like this.

The first time I did it it was full charge. but to no avail. I tried that then leaving it on with the charger in thinking it would eventually reset itself but that didn't work either.
Do other batteries work in your phone?

Does the phone get taken into the bathroom when a shower or bath is being taken? Was it left in the car for an extended period, ie longer than an hour?
Check the battery connections, they have been known to go bad.

Then it is your phones battery connectors. As to answer your question, when plugged in the phone switches to ac power instead of battery, this can be seen when you take out the battery, plug your phone in, and turn it on.

do you know where I can find a diagram or anything on what I am looking for?
I bought an Incredible S a while ago and have been exploring ROMs and installing them. I am now on IceColdSandwich and currently satisfied with it. The only problem is the battery life, I fully charge it, take it out of charge, roam through home screens and I have 95% battery. I tried updating the radio to .24 one (built for Ice Cream Sandwich). So I was wondering if there was something I was missing or if there was a fix for this. Any help in this regard would be highly appretiated.
Thanks.
is it 2nd hand incredible s?
when you fully charged, did you leave it connected to the charger for a while?
one thing you might want to try is to turn off the inc s when it finishes charging... and plug it to charger again.
it will start charging again in case it's actually not full...
otherwise: do a battery calibration

And that's probably what all those apps will do.
And the reason for why your battery drops from 100% really quickly is because HTC made it that way. When you charge it'll charge to 100%, then stop charging until it has dropped to x% and start charging to 100% again. Repeat that until you remove the charger.

It wont decrease battery life.
The only way the battery could be hindered via charging is if you do it for extended periods of time.
For example more than 10 hours isnt good.

Thanks for clearing that. So we can charge our phone whenever we want to but be careful not to charge for too long at a stretch. Is it correct?

Yeah. I've read up on this stuff. More than 10 hours is called Overcharging. It's unhealthy for the battery and for the phone itself
The normal charge is just plugging it at any time and plug it out at any time.
And then there is healthy charge. You need to do this once a month or two.
Let the battery fall below 20-15 percent and then charge it up all the way to 100.
Also keeping it plugged in at 100% isn't recommended because we don't have smart charge (which basicly cuts of the power from the charger to the motherboard at 100% to prevent wear and tear like in some new high end devices)
Hope you find this interesting :3
Thank you. I will do some research on this myself too..
Maybe add it to the get started guide? ;3
so charge for a short time doesn't decrease the battery?
ex: charge from 30% to 50% is not wrong?

No it is not. Only older batteries had this problem. Nowdays its cool to do that.

If you sleep less than 10 hours than its good. I do that when I go to school.
More than 10 is not healthy.
this becomes a problem esp if u use usb tethering
Modern firmware stops charging the phone when it's full, drains it a bit, and then will not send any juice to the battery anymore- it's pretty much impossible to overcharge unless you've corrupted or hacked out that bit of the firmware or you're overamping to begin with- or the phone and its firmware are poorly designed or executed.
This is also why your phone drops from 100 to 95% so fast when you start using it- it wasn't at 100% when it stopped charging; the firmware lies to you so you don't get mad and try to overcharge and destroy your battery or call customer service because it won't go above ~98%
Well then, I've had this phone for over a year and always charge it over the night (way over 10hours :I)

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.

I tried to let it charge with the charger, after 15 minutes it reached 15%, and when i unplagged the charger it dropped down to 4% (but the charger was really hot)... I will let it charge for some hours, maybe the battery and the system should calibrate their self.... I hope it will work, i'm tired of my n900 yet (and i don't have money to change phone now)

battery stats may not be correct till full charge.

If safestrap is installed, could see it will let you boot to safestrap, and see if it will charge.

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
Hi guys,
I'm having issues with my Mi mix where it just shut down by its self and will no longer boot up anymore, it will load the Mix logo for a few seconds (after the initial Mi one) before shutting down. I can access the recovery, and have tried flashing a new rom, as well as fastbooted the original rom on. Is there any way to fix this?
Also, when plugging in the charge cable it will show charging, but stuck on 67%, it doesnt go above that with overnight charging.
Cheers,

Well maybe unplugging battery for a while may sort it, watch a teardown before attempting, I suspect the battery is actually flat and needs charging but it's stuck in some weird situation. You didn't say wether it was rooted with TWRP.
