Incredible S Battery/Charging Issue - HTC Incredible S

Hey guys
I have an HTC Incredible S which doesn't want to charge. I thought it was a problem with the charging port as it felt loose so I went and got a universal battery charger to charge the battery. However the battery will not charge using this charger. At this point I am thinking that the battery has failed and wish to test it. I also have a HTC Sensation, now the battery from the Sensation will not fit as they are completely different sizes, so I am planning to wire the Sensation battery up to the Incredible S just to test to see if it will power on.
My question is, will this damage the Incredible S or the battery? If the phone powers on and works it means I simply have to grab a new battery for the Incredible S and away I go. I had a quick look at from what I could gather the voltage is the same however I would rather someone confirm this. I understand the mah are different but this only effects the amount of charge not the strength?
I should note that the Incredible S has gone swimming about a year ago and while it dried out and worked fine, it could have finally corroded and died.
Thanks

Buy a battery and test.
Press thanks if I helped you out!

Thats pretty much every Incredible S. Unless you dont wanna go through multiple charging cycles (charge full, unplug, plug till charge full, and reapeat) then i would suggest just leave as is cuz as u might be aware the more u charge things, the shorter the battery life gets.

I would be nervous to do that, but I suppose if you look at the back of the batteries, and all the stats are the same, I don't see how it would hurt. Still wouldn't want to do that on my own phone, though.

HTC Sensation XL battery duration?

you're battery experience with this phone?
good,bad?
Very Good!
good use returns me minumum 2 days between charges
is there a diference in custom and stock rom?
im wondering just about battery usage?
Have to charge it every day, but doesnt bother me!
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using xda premium
Charger at home and at work, so is plugged in and charging most of the time anyway, but even when i don't bother it'll last the day with moderate use (the signal is awful round here, so it drains it a bit quicker..)
I have a problem with the battery of my new Sensation XL.
When I charge the battery, even after several hours of charging, the maximum charge level reaches 86%, not more. I have just got the phone few days ago and I am trying to get the battery down to zero before I charge it. After the first charge the maximum level of charge was 75%, after the second and third one it was 86%.
Anyone with some idea? Is the battery damaged?
Thanks

sounds like the wrong battery.
For example, the battery from the standard sensation only charges to 89% cos the voltage is .1v down on what it should be. Many replacement batteris have the same issue, such as the Mugen and Anker ones.
if it's definitely the right one, then it could well be a bad one and need replacing.
what exactly does it say on it?
it should match the XL battery here if it's the right one...

This is what is printed in my battery: Rating 3.7 VDC 1520 mAh 5.62 Whr.
that's not the right battery. The XL battery should be a 1600mah 3.8v battery with 6.08 whr.
Seems someone's switched the battery on you.
My bat stays for 2-3 days. including approx 30 min talk per day, approx 1-1,5 h internet usage per day. Mobile data always on. 3 emails syncing every hour. Weather syncing every 3 hours. In standbay phone is consuming 18-22 mA/h. In stand bay 1% is droping every 5-8 hours.

Universal Phone Battery Charger, are they safe?

I am just wondering if any of you have used the Universal Phone Battery Charger such as this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW...y_Chargers&hash=item4cfa8ab2cd#ht_3307wt_1033
If so are they safe to use? have they been approved by the ITU.
Thanks.
I've been using a universal charger for about a month. Not that exact model. I wanted to buy it locally and radio shack was the only retailer I could find that sold one. I have no complaints other then my phone is out of commission when charging. Ive had no I'll effects so far. I'm sure its a placebo but my battery life seems a bit better. I usually would get the 99-90% without even touching my phone. I haven't really seen that with the universal.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
Any decent custom ROM will allow you to control charging voltage, so it really doesn't matter. I use any charger i can get my hands on most times, and my GS2 charges fine.
Just to let u know mate that 99-90% battery or maybe a bit less is a good thing that your phone is suppose to do because it's not good for your battery to be at full battery or low battery so the phone does it on purpose. I'm using a external charger and mine still does it. They say your suppose to try and keep your battery between 40 and 80% but won't hurt to fully charge it's as long as it not fully charged for to long and you don't want a low battery full to long but you still wanna let your phone fully die every so often and fully recharge as it reconditions battery ( this is what I've read) and if your going to store a device turned off for a long time u only want about 40-60% battery. Jus thought I'd say lol
As far I know they are not safe. These charger reduce the longevity of the battery.
You'd better use the original charger. The universal charger will short the battery life and have bad impact on your phone. Most important of all, they are not safety.

I just see some reports talking about we should not using the universal chargers. And also some people said Universal chargers are OK if you are using them on a temporary basis. But using for long term, they may cause more problems than the original one.

This is a known issue, and it is because of the battery driver from within the kernel, i tried to work on it but suspended my work for now.
Probably i will work on this on a later date.
then what's the solution for our problem,
i read somewhere that 1950mAh batteries are compatible for Sensation XL, does anybody tried already???

I have same problem. I had the original battery which was about 14 months old. Suddenly it started draining really fast, like 70% within
an hour or half. When it reached around 30% phone closed. When I turned it on, it said there was 4-6%.
Last week I purchased new Insmat 1700mAh battery and charget it phone turned off about 10 hours.
It only got to 84%. Now I´ve drained it and charged it couple of times and it reaches that 89% but no more than that.
Sv: [Q] Unable to Charge 100%
For all that wants a new battery for their phone :
If you buy another one you will have to check if the voltage on the new battery is the same as on the stock battery. For now until someone makes another kernel for bigger battery, if you buy another battery with more miliamps on you will not get it to charge over 89% because bigger battery is running 0.1 volts higher than stock. The phone runs just fine with it but it can't fully charge it unless another kernel is made for it or unless you use an external charger, with that I mean , pulling battery out and charge it with another charger. And insert it again while fully charged

Thanks for that info anders3408! Battery still works great and lasts long.
External Charger, i don't understand what you're saying, can you say once again clearly, to get an external charger what i have to do?

I think he meant desktop/external charger. By using them, you can charge battery full. Not when its in the phone. Maybe its related to kernels, I dunno.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using xda app-developers app
how much battery is charged is controled by the kernel, so in theory , if someone editted kernel then we can charge battery to full.
If you will use a bigger battery you need to use external charger to charge it full, and yes by external charger i mean a charger you can put the battery in, so it is pulled out of the phone

Im really bad with this sort of things cos i can only say what is working and what not. And maybe why...
But to you who know better. If its because of kernel, would it be hard thing to repair since there is custom kernels out there?

HTC One battery calibration?

Hi everyone
I have noticed my HTC One battery calibration is way off. Is says it is fully charged, and when i pull the charger, it drips to 93%?
I have tryed a few battery calibration apps from play, but they dont seem to do anything at all.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Stefan
Do you unplug it right after the charging light turns green?
If you wait a while before unplugging it, that might be the reason it drops so quickly.
If not, reboot the phone, charge it to 100, use it till it reaches 0, and then charge it again to 100 nonstop, not 99, to 100.
This should help your issue and should be done around once a month.
There's many people that believe lithium batteries don't need this type of conditioning, but it's worth a shot
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I unplug it, then it gets to 100%. But my problem is when I unplug it, it drops to 93% right away.
To fully drain a li-ion battery can damage it. But I have tried to drain it, to around 3% and the fully charge it, and that didn't help.
I'm pretty sure it's a calibration issue. But I just don't think to calibrating tools I'm using, is working properly.
Is there another way to calibrate the battery?

It's not a calibration issue. It's a safety thing. It's built into the battery and there's not much you can do about it. There's a chip in the battery that tells it to stop taking a charge once it hits 100%. One it drops to a certain point like day 90% it'll kick back in. So, once you take it off the charger and it drops, put it back on for a few minutes and it might reach 100

Thats why i asked if you unplug it right away. If you leave it plugged in once its fully charged, its not charging anymore. So RIGHT when the light turns green, take it off the charger, and it shouldnt drop to 93.
And you havent seen it on the S4 or S3 because they continually charge even at 100, be grateful that the HTC One has an intelligent charging chip which lets you charge it overnight without damaging the battery.
Its not a problem, its a good thing..

I have tryed taking it off the charger right after it shows that it´s fully charged, and it somehow still drops to 93%
I have owned sgs1, sgs2, sgs3 and sgs4. And I have never had any problems with the battery getting damaged because of overcharging, it stops charging at 100%, like it should be.
It shouldn't stop at 93%?. To me that's not a good thing at all. And that I have to remember to unplug it, and plug in the charger again to get the last 7% on the battery, ain't a good thing either.

My earlier comment about bad timing, what it meant was that maybe you have just been unlucky and have pulled the phone off when it was no longer near 100. Bad timing.
I haven't charged my phone to 100 for a while, so I can't really report on the behaviour of my phone, but the battery in the phone is fairly advanced compared to the average battery. I would expect that it may even have some life-extension features that removable batteries lack. These features, not problems, will be trying to limit stress to your battery ie. trying to keep the battery away from "100%". But if you continue to have problems getting it close to 100, maybe the calibration really is off.
I would discharge all the way until the phone shuts off. You say you haven't done that because you don't want to damage the battery, but "0%" isn't actually 0%. You will stress the battery, like you would by charging to "100%", but you won't damage it. Really that is the one clear option I see that is left in regards to your question.
Or... Don't charge your phone so high. The battery is good enough to last on less than "100%". Your battery will like you for it. It'll extend it's lifetime.

ataft answered it pretty nicely. But honestly, stop comparing the phone to all your sgs's. With those phones, the battery is prolly less efficient than it was when you first got it, due to continuous charging at 100% etc. But theyre all replacable, so theres no issue. With the One, you cant replace the battery, so HTC has implemented as many features as possible to extend the life of the battery as much as they can. Thus is stops at 100%, which is a huge plus point for me, since i like charging over night. So that being said, when my battery reached 100 and i unplug it, it stays at 100 and works properly. Since yours drops to 93, and youve tried a bunch of things to try and fix it, it could honestly be a faulty battery..if the phones still brand new, this might be the case. Other than that try what ataft said, bring it down till the phone turns off, and charge it too 100% again

Of course I'm gonna compare it to other phones I've had. Removable or non removable battery.
I've also had the nexus4, with out me having any problems getting a full charge out off the battery.
Anyway. I'll try to fully discharge the battery, until the phone shuts off. And change it up all the way.

i mean because youre saying the fact that is stops charging at 100% is a issue, you shouldnt compare it to your older phones, because theres a really good reason why the HTC One implements that feature..but thats besides the point, cause it might honestly not even be the reason behind why your phone drops to 93%.
How old is your One?
After draining the battery until the phone turned off, and giving it a full charge, it seem to have fixed the problem. I have charged it 3times since and now it doesn't drop.
So it was a calibration issue!

Battery calibration, as already mentioned here, is the solution.
Let the battery drain till 0% and charge the phone to 100% at once.

Is the quick charge harmful?

Hi, I'm using my samsung phone with quick charger, however, I saw some people discuss that quick charge is harmful to the phone, is that true? anyone can confirm about this?

I can't say that quick charge is harmful however what is usually not a great thing to do is to stick the phone on the charger all the time when there's plenty of power left. Like charging it from 80% to 100% is just wearing on the battery life faster and causing it to use an extra cycle.. Think of it like this say the phones battery can ONLY be charged a total of 100 times and that's IT no more it's dead after the 100 charge.. if you stick it on the charger at 95% and charge to 100% well now you just lost a cycle and you only have 99 charges left.. Wouldn't it have been better to use the entire battery power until it shuts off and then charge it?! Doing it this way actually extends the batteries life and keeps it working a lot better than constantly doing small charges.

Ive always been taught that the faster u charge a battery the less charge it holds. And decreases the life span faster. That slower is always better on lifespan.
The added heat from quik charge also puts strain on device if being used at same time.
Just my opinion
Ive googled this and according to some psyhics, it doesnt matter how fast the electrons get to 3,000 mah. What really harms the battery is getting above 90% and below 10%. Everytime you get to 100% it counts as an cycle, and batterys have a limited life cycle. My orignal barttery went bad after 11 months...degraded from 3000 mah to 2,200. I manually replaced the battery myself

Not sure it will harmful to the battery life span, but sometimes I charge my phone to 100% and continue, so this will also harmful to battery?
You can just not use your phone battery at all. Once lithuim ion batterys reach 100 thats it, they then drain from your electricty So by turning on your power case when uts at 100%, the phone drains from the case. Of course if your using like an 1amp charger, theb battery will drain if using while plugged in., because the screen is eating more energy than the 1 amp can provide
Batteries are cheap....replacing them isn't that difficult. I got 20 months from my original battery(always fast charged).
If I get the same from the replacement then it's all good.
Use the phone....that's why you bought it.

Yes, forcing a lithium battery above it's operating voltage, something like 4.7v with a 5v to over come is ok. But 9v!?!? That's degraded it's performance. In the great scheme of things does it really matter? Probably not, chances are you will get a new phone in a year or so anyways and thats about when the battery fails.
Oops
I don't want to change the battery, and for now, more and more phone come with battery non-removable, it's not a good choose to change battery.

I have never changed my battery since I owned my samsung s5 two years ago.
So how often will you change you battery? it is because the battery unavailable?

Ive googled this and according to some psyhics, it doesnt matter how fast the electrons get to 3,000 mah. What really harms the battery is getting above 90% and below 10%. Everytime you get to 100% it counts as an cycle, and batterys have a limited life cycle. My orignal barttery went bad after 11 months...degraded from 3000 mah to 2,200. I manually replaced the battery myself

It's difficult? Could i ask you which battery to buy and where you bought it?
Its only hard if u want to keep your glass back. I tore up and shattered mine and dont care because my phone is always in a case, so youll never see the back. Got the oem battery from ebay for around 10 dollars. Then its just a matter of taking out all the screws, connecting the really small connector, and screwing back tightly. Like you need put pressure on screen when putting back together because for example volume down button might not work if press 2 lightly
It's easy, use a heat gun and the simple tools. Took me 20 mins and I didn't break anything. Just bought the battery off eBay
