Hi, I have recently acquired (mid Sept. 2007) a TyTN II device: really a very good and nice device ... till yesterday.
Maybe my experience could be shared with some of you...
Yesterday my device suddenly turned off apparently because battery very low (i.e. less than 5% according to the manual): this is strange because as far as I remember my battery was charged enough to survive more than one day considering that I did not use Wifi/Bluetooth or many phone calls.
By the way, the problem occurred when I attempted to recharge the device: it spent hours under recharge but the power led never become green, but remained orange. I attempted anyway to startup the device, but as soon as the Windows OS started it automatically shutdown because battery too low was detected.
I performed several software reset and finally an hardware reset, while attempting also to recharge it also via USB but without any positive effect.
I contacted HTC which suggested me ... to provide back the device most likely for being replaced according to the DOA (Dead On Arrival) policy.
Please note that according to some tests I performed on the battery, this seems to be charged and the problem relying on the device or OS which do not recognize it as charged but so low that no operations are permitted.
Has some one experienced a similar issue with this new HTC device ?
Cheers,
Max
GF's 8125 did almost the same thing; wouldnt charge past 10% and kept sending notification after notification; this was literally right out of the box. Cingular/AT&T suspected the battery but replaced the 8125 as well.
So far I have not seen other reports of this for TyTn II. It is however a reasonably common problem with many different brands of phone.

Could be a Power managment issue its not uncommen at all. things go wrong in all electronic devices think of the millions of Kaisers that will be sold in the coming months a few are bound to messed up from the factory. Its like buying a car you know ****s guna happen but you buy it anyway since it looks really nice that first day!
Did you all charge using the supplied wallcharger instead of via USB?

Make your kaiser power off, and use wallcharger. If it still doesn't work, call for HTC..
Some problems are solved by letting the internal battery drain, by leaving the device without the battery for a couple of days.
That issue can happen if you (almost) run out of battery.
Best practice: NEVER EVER run down your battery below 5% ! As soon as it reach 10%, switch off if you dont have charger at that time.
You might go below 10%, but take the risk .... !
It is known to us that the new Windows Mobile 5.0 supports persistant memory (your data will not lost when the battery runs out 0%), but it does not say that you will not be able to charge the battery!
More explanation? And how to revive the battery?
Read this thread:
http://www.modaco.com/Warning-Battery-Chargin-t233233.html
It is well explained, how that happen and how to recover the battery

ey man, i followed the recommended procedure for the three firsts battery charges. First i plug the PDA and let charge at 100%, then i let the battery goes to 0% (yes, the PDA goes off, of course) and then plugin onto the wall charger, and let charge to the 100%, repeating this procedure three times.
I do this also with my previous PDA, Hermes. And no problem leting the PDA going to 0%...never see this problem before.
What is the supossed problem leting the battery goes to 0%?
Regards.
EDIT: Found this interesting information about LiIon... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_ion_battery and http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm
jcespi2005,
I simply dont know I just shared the link that I knew from modaco which is useful in this case.
Maybe this is not 100% the case, but as I said "best practice" ... something that it is better to follow to avoid this issue as you should read already that quite a lot of people affected by this very low depleted battery.

The modaco thread talks about Wizard, i think it's not 100% the same as Kaiser, cause is not the same battery, and the hard charge interface on the PDA can be different. I'm going to make a deep research about model and manufacturer for the Kaiser Battery, to see what can be the issue.
Anyway, i let my Kaiser goes 0% three times and charge fine for the three times. So i beleave the issue is not related with the battery itself. Can be the charger? don't know...
What is the model and manufacturer for your Kaiser battery, please?
Mine is Samsung model KAIS160.
Just checked and I have the same battery, SAMSUNG KAIS160.
I have now seen another report on another forum with this problem (Kaiser). I suggested the standard method as used when the refusing to charge issue arose with the Hermes (TyTn).
(It worked by the way!)
i.e.
1
Remove the battery for half an hour or so
2
With the battery still removed connect and switch ON the official (1000mA) MAINS charger (Not other brands that deliver only 500mA)
3
Now insert the battery
4
Wait for up to 5 mins for the Red LED to change to Orange
Repeat steps 3 and 4 if you have no success after waiting for a reasonable time.
(If that fails then elsewhere I have reported the technique of delivering a charge to the battery using a couple of AA batteries)
My view for what it's worth:
Although in rare cases there may be a faulty battery, in the main the problem is not caused by the battery. The likely explanation is that the circuit that detects the battery's presence, fails to detect the battery when the battery charge is very low. In other words there is no problem with battery but the battery charge detection circuit is either frozen or does not switch on when the battery charge is too low.
This issue I see reported across many brands of phone and is not a WM specific problem.

Many thanks for the information, this confirms my suspects about the interface to the battery, and not the battery itself... i see this issue time ago with one Nokia 6100, and solve it with the same procedure you write. Sometimes LiIon battery gain some charge if you place in the refrigerator for a while (cool helps LiIon batterys, and warm hurts).
Regards.
EDIT: More info about charging LiIon battery here http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-12.htm
Seems there is no need to make three charge/discharge cycle before use the LiIon battery. Simply you can use and charge in any moment. Really is better sorts and many charges rather than less and longs charges/discharges.
Power Failure.
Hi guys,
Well the USB did the trick.
Don't forget the Red Wire is the + (Positive)
and
the black Wire is the - (Negative).
A few minutes holding in place did the trick.
Thanks a lot for this thread, I actually had the feeling that I have lost the Kaiser.

what USB trick? what wires, and where do you put them in the phone? thanks!
nevermind, just tried it and it definitely charged the phone, but when i then plugged it into the charger it the battery just decreased like before

Hello,
Take a USB cable (the one like you use to sync your pda) cut it in the middle, expose the wires inside.
The red wire (+) is to be attached to the PLUS of the battery, and the balck wire (-) is to be attached to the minus of the battery.
About one minute and fater re-install the battery and try charging again, this should do the trick.
You can also use 2 AA batteries in the same manner.
Yours,
Ronen
just happened to mine after only a month. Contacted att and the forum and had to get it replaced. So far nothing wrong with this one!

Hi Mike,
Had my Kaiser sent to a lab, they are checking it but they are saying it is a faulty board.
The battery is ok although I bought a new one and tested it to find still the same problem.
Thanks.
So I seem to have a strange problem; my phone seems to be unable to charge my battery beyond let's say 10%. For the first couple of minute when I charge the phone via a usb connection with my pc; it displays a battery filled about 5% accoumpanied by a yellow triangle and a black exclamation mark in the triangle. Then after some times of leaving it in the pc; it does show the original battery screen, a battery filled up to about 10% with five black/grey dots underneath it, and one-by-one these dots light up.
I am on a rooted xxla4 rom with the accompanying kernel..... (I can't perform a "wipe battery stats from this CWM version" and I would like to stay on this rom, because it at least a bit like the stock rom, since I don't know whether with this battery situation I will ever get enough battery to install the stock rom again with odin 3.04 )
**Originally I was a while on Asylum 10.1, but then I tried out Parandroid 2.99 beta and to improve the performance I installed Rhythum kernel, when I was a Asylum about two days ago and everthing still worked properly I had about 7 hours of battery life and my phone charged (with the wall charger) to about 100% in three hours. I can't imagine a battery to break within 72 hours and I also can't imagine Rhythum kernel or Parandroid to have caused this, but if I am wrong PLEASE CORRECT ME.
Hi,
If i were you, i'd flash a kernel that supports remove battery stats and remove them.
If that doesn't work, you could try to flash your rom again, but this one is tricky...
because your phone doesn't charge further then 10%.
I don't know about the rom you said, but use a rom without aroma to be sure the least battery is drained...
I hope this will help you.
Good luck.
Cheers,
Kreekhoorn
**Not to forget to keep your phone into the charger (wallcharger) while flashing, just to save battery.
Do a battery calibration using apps in the store, may be the 10% is 100%
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Well, the 10%, regretfully isn't a 100%, because the phone kicks me out after about 5 minutes, because it says the battery is empty. I also can't use the battery calibration, because these apps say the phone isn't fully charged so they close.....
(flashing a kernel is possible, but because I can't get into the phone anymore; the battery now remains dead. It seems I am quite cornered now)
**But do you guys think this problem is purely battery related or do you think the phone itself is broken, I mean if just the battery is broken, I might just get a new one, but I don't want to buy a battery to find out the phone itself is actually broken....:crying:
I would first try a different battery
I will need to buy one either way, since I don't own a spare battery and don't know anyone with a spare battery...
**Recently I tried to flash Asylum back on my Note, because it had a kernel which is able to remove the battery stats, but Mobile ODIN got stuck at about 12% of flashing the rom-> so now when I put the phone into the charger, it does not get beyond the picture of the battery with the loading sign within; does this mean the phone is broken? And are you still able to charge although the phone's UI does not show the battery is charging....(So does the battery still charge without the loading interface on the phone?)
->Also when buying a new battery do they at least come a bit pre-charged or are they sold completely empty? Does anyone know anything about this?
Keep the charger plugged in with the phone off for a couple of hours. Download a good custom rom. Boot into recovery and most uab storage. Copy the rom on to your phone. Perform all wipes and installation the new rom.
The new battery comes with a little charge in it.
Thanks for the advice, I have bought a new battery. It is shipping to me; I hope this will resolve my problems (key will be whether the battery is already charged a bit, because I don't know if it will charge in my phone. Since I don't have a rom installed (mobile odin seems to have deleted my rom, but did not continue to install the new rom.....)) Fingers crossed!
(I also kept the charger in the phone some time, but it just does not want to charge; in the very few times I can enter download mode, I get the "can't download battery is too low" message)
->I will let let you guys know if something changes!
There are external chargers which are pretty cheap. This will help in worst case scenario. Anyways good luck mate
New Battery just charges 3% in one hour
So I recieved my new battery, and flashed a new rom, but I seem to have an other strange problem; I let the phone charge for about an hour now, and the battery just went up by 3 percent. Has anyone else seen this kind of behaviour with a new battery (the store from which I bought the battery said it was an original battery -> http://www.mobilesupplies.nl/battery-samsung-galaxy-note-n7000-eb615268vu-p-13527.html (link to the battery I bought))
->To put this in perspective the battery I previously had (which is apparantly broke now) charged to 100% from 0% in just 3 hours.....
try a few charging cycles and then check the charging time
This probably is a bad question, but I suppose it is better to ask than just to assume; does anyone know whether clearing my battery stats will improve the rate my phone charges my battery? I assume the phone remembers the battery stats taken from my previous battery, which might influence its usage of the new battery?
I don't think so as it's regarded useless clearing battery stats in recovery.. That's why it has been removed from the newer version of Cwm recoveries.
Any how charging the battery to 100% resets that file
The same problems seems to also pop-up with this new battery, I suppose there is nothing else left to do except for sending the phone to the repair center.
->The phone does show something is plugged in, it does detect the usb cable connected to the wall charger which is consequently connected to the power output in the wall. The image it shows (BASED ON THE CHARGE LEFT IN THE BATTERY, so it does not show anything when the battery is empty) is a battery with a yellow triangle and a black exclamation mark inside the yellow triangle (the same icon I got with my old battery)
The battery also does not get hot neither does the phone in the slightest bit; and in my memory, before this problem occured, I remembered the phone getting at least a little bit more warm.
I suppose now all that probably remains is for the Samsung service center to either check the charging circuits and try to fix those OR replace the entire motherboard (which what I assume they will do). I just hope they are not going to make up some excuse about the garanty, because I have always treated my phone with the utmost care....
may be its just the USB module that needs changing.. Samsung should do it.
Well i also juat got a new battery this week. I went for the samsungs spare rather than the mugen extended or the gold battery.
My old battery got swollen and its because of my fault, i used to keep it on charge throuhout night to get 100% in the morning but i was surprised coz despite being in bad shape it was giving me a goos battery time. But after a discussion here on xda i got a new battery and i am happy now coz its giving me 30% more time plus i got extra power now
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I have the same problem. Does any one have a fix?
When you put your micro usb cable inside your note's usb port, does it wiggle? If so there is nothing else you can do, but to sent your phone to Samsung for warranty. They will fix the usb port and maybe even replace the motherboard. And remember don't wiggle aroubd your phone when it is on the charger or usb plug next time....
I have tab s 8.4 lte model. Got it new. I was getting 3-4 hours of screen timing which was ****,
I did the back cover removal procedure and disconnected and reconnected the battery connector to see if it fixes the problem.
I then started tne device and draimed the battery to 0%. I then connected charger and charged the tab for over 5 hours. Just now i saw that it showed 100% charged.
I removed the charger and switched the tab on and it says 1% battery...WTFFFFF???
I connected charger again and now it says 9% left.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?? CAN SOMEONE PLS HELP ME?
Its probably not reading the battery correctly. Have you tried recalibrating and drain and chargeing it for like a couple times?

Im guessing your rooted. Well go into the play store and search for battery recalibrate. Pick one and install. Then follow what it siads to do and it should clear your battery stats. Now about the charging, i had a phone that didnt go above 50percent charge. So what I did is let it drain completely till it cannot turn on with the power button. Now just use a different charger or somesort and let it charge fully and dont turn it on till its at 100 percent. Then try and turn it on without the charger and see if it reads correctly.

Now i remkved charger and switched on the tab and it says 100%. After 2 seconds it says 71% and then 61%. I m typing this msg and it is saying 36% all in under a minute. What to do now? I have used a different charger as well but its not fixing. Can some one help me what to do now???? Its so ****ing annoying cause its only 3 days old tab and i already have several scratches and now the battery is ****ed up.

Now completely drain and charge it for about 2 times. If that doesn't work then it might be something loose with the battery.

Had same problem custom kernel fixed my problem i have tab s10.5 lte battery drained from 100 to 0 in 40min

If u dont want to try custom kernel install advanced battery calibrator from play store and try with that it seemed to help with tab s aswell
Yeah resetting the fuel gauge could help. Try sky high kernel
Hi there. I also face exactly the same problem as you. Today I open the back cover and disconnect and connect the battery connector. But my Tab S become worst. Does your tab become better?

Then your best chance is to rewert it to stock and hope that they wont check knox count in warranty repairs.
I'm guessing you have a micro sd inserted.
Check your battery stats. See if "media server" or "indexservice" is in a high percentage. Turn it off. Tha saps the battery more faster than Sylvester says "suffering sukatash!"
Heavy usage results into 4 hours batt average
If all else fails looks like you have a faulty battery
HI... How things athithi going on? Can't you replace by your self the battery? Someone knows where to buy an OEM battery?
My 8.4 battery is doing really weird things.
It'll be at say 34% and then plummet to 5% and shutdown.
So i plug it in, and the battery meter icon will pop up saying theres 25% battery available!.
I turn on the tablet and use it normally again. Very odd/
i had this issue once , the battery went crazy , auto reboot after a few minutes, then i went to customer service and they said that this issue was common :v They fixed the battery connector and it was normal again :v
Download battery monitor, this is probably the most comprehensive battery app available. It will tell you if your battery is actually charging and not just the phone detecting the charger being plugged in. It measures mah, if this doesn't change then the battery isn't charging

2. charging 100%, depleting battery. repeated process a couple of times
3. Switched to Stock (Rooted), 2 Custom ROMs (Waited till it was 100% on both on and off before flashing)
Notes:-
1. Battery seems perfectly fine (takes a while before depleting and doesnt deplete before 0%)
Currently using stock rooted
l would start with replacing the cable and charger to make sure you are getting a full charge. Then monitor the usage time on your phone over a few weeks and see if the time to empty is getting less that is a sure sign of a bad battery
Recheck with another fast charger. Generally, we cannot say if is a faulty cable or you have an faulty adapter. I hope the device chargeboard is not shot/motherboard driven related issue. Also, have you recovered the device using Samsung Kies- Emergency firmware recovery?

With original charger it takes 6hrs!!! Holy ****
I think its a usb port problem for sure.. Do one thing while connected to the charger go to device maintenance and open battery menu and see if it say charging via AC or USB if while us8ng the original charger it shows Chaging via USB then certainly its the port that has gone faulty..

Hello everyone! Though its not the right place to ask the question but I have been seeking solution to my problem from months. Long time before, my Galaxy Note II started to behave differently. Whenever I charged it completely, the phone worked normally till 75% to 80% and all of sudden a =low battery warning indication appears and phone proceeds to shut down. I tried changing ROM and calibrating the battery again but nothing worked. Finally I replaced the battery with a new one and also clean flashed another ROM in a hope to see if the problem is gone or still there. But to my surprise the problem is still intact. Now, when I turn on the phone the battery is 90% and when I keep using it, it drains normally, but as soon it reaches round about 80%, it turns off randomly. When I turn the phone back on the battery is still at the same percentage level at which is turns off. I believe there is not an issue with the battery. Please help me what to do, I am using TWRP recovery that doesn't gives the battery stats wipe option too. Should I flash a new ROM again? I would greatly appreciate if someone please helps me in sorting this problem.
What I have already done!
1. Replaced the battery
2. Changed the ROM
3. Re-calibrated the battery

I have noticed the same issue, I think. I suspect it is a general bug.
Guys, try charging your phone while in Android. When it reads 100%, switch off your device. Either leave the charge cable attached or reattach it after you have switched off. Now wait for the off-line charging icon to appear. Unless I'm mistaken, the percentage won't correspond with whatever your phone reports while your in Android. If Android says 100%, this will be a lower number. And off-line charging will keep on charging until you reach 100%.

Sorry for the late response. Internet finished, had to wait until the renewal date. During this time, i wiped the rom and re-installed it (Khongloi V11). Since there was no internet, i didnt sign in any accounts, Switched off the location. The phone surprisingly took 3 days before reaching 0.
Indeed, it says USB Charging 6hrs. I sometimes keep plugging and unplugging, it changes to A/C 2hrs.
I have this problem too. But I change batt_capacity_max to 1000, phone on 100% phone off 100%. If we recharge to full it will return to the same state (phone on 100, phone off ~80) so i need to change again. I don't know if this destroy my battery life ? I don't know why. I thought I'm the only 1 who have this problem? (sorry for my bad english)
I think this may be a software/firmware problem, not a problem with the battery.

I figured that was the problem but i tried it with three different roms (Khongloi V11, Final, Stock).
Maybe it's some kind of battery protection thing created when your battery is old or something?

I figured that was the problem but i tried it with three different roms (Khongloi V11, Final, Stock).

The various ROMs may all use the same battery raportage code, which doesn't account for this discrepancy. After all, most ROMs are just fancy reskins of stock Android.
That said, maybe Samsung support can shed some light on what's going on.
On a side note? Is there anyone who reads this thread, whose reported battery charge (in percentages) is the same in Android as when the device is switched off and charging?
So... any solutions?
Have a Note 8 that was draining the battery real fast all the sudden. It's on android 9. I would charge it to 100, let it sit with screen off and in about 30min. it was down 59%. This kept happening. One day it went down to 0% and didn't charge anymore. So I changed the battery. It did the same thing. Depleted too fast. When it went down to 0%, again phone would not turn on nor charge again. This is what I have gone thru so far with this phone:
Replaced the battery 3 times.
Replaced the charging port flex cable
Tried several Samsung chargers
Wipe data/factory reset X2
Wiped cache X2
No apps are on the phone.
Even with all that the batteries still drain quickly. If they go to 0%, phone won't charge again. Phone will not turn on and charge until I put a new battery replacement in it-only for it to drain fast.
The only thin I have not replaced was the logic board. Could this be a logic board issue or software issue?

To rule out it being a software/firmware problem update it if you can or if you can't update then downgrade but stay with the same bootloader version.. If it does it after doing that then it's 100 percent a hardware problem.
Both my wife and I have Verizon Note 8s. We received the June patch a few days ago and have experienced SEVERE battery drain. In the battery usage stats there is no application that seems to be causing the drain. We've not had these phones very long (maybe 16-18 mo) and believe this is absolutely related to the June 2020 security update. I'm not sure if this issue is specific to the Verizon version of the patch or if this would affect more Note 8s. I'm just trying to find proof that it was the update.
I am a tech so yes I did the repair myself. Just looking for a second opinion on this. I bought the batteries from amazon and had a good condition battery from an old Note 8 repair leftover.
However, I cannot do anything more as far as testing because I need to purchase another battery. That is the only way to get the phone back on because like I mentioned once the battery drains out phone doesn't charge anymore unless I put a new battery in. As long as I don't let the phone drain to 0% I can keep using it and charging it.
But for now to do any of the tests mentioned here I would need to get another battery first.

Some of the phones that would drain to 0 wouldn't charge again and Samsung was replacing the batteries in those ones but some people have been able to get them to charge again so if you have a wireless charger put the phone on BOTH the wireless charger AND the wired cable charger and leave it over night and it may or may not work but you have nothing to lose so..
Well I have found the issue and only issue. It was the logic board. The power IC chip is bad. After purchasing and connecting the new logic board everything on this note 8 is working perfectly. Battery charges, holds its charge like it supposed to. Battery drain is gone. And I can let the battery drain to 0% and charge it up again with no problem. So eventually, when I get the time, I will replace the power IC on the bad board. But for now, all is good.
Thanks to you all for your assistance.

What exactly do you mean when you say "put a new battery replacement in"? You mean that you have opened the phone and put in new batteries? How did you put it back together? It is supposed to be sealed, and many things can go wrong after opening the enclosure.

Instead of for someone typing out the answer to that just go to YouTube and search for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 battery replacement and you'll see the entire process!

My comment was not so much about the process, but about the result. Or shall I say consequences of the action? If one opens the seal, replaces the battery (not just once, but several times) and then complains about the battery not working normally is in my opinion a bit cheeky.
