Hi,
I have my Diamond for about 1 year now. About three weeks ago I could not charge my battery anymore, so I bought a new battery (original HTC). With the new battery installed everything worked fine again.
After a week the problem retruned. The phone switched itself off after the battery level low warning and I tried to charge the battery after about 5 hours. So a second battery became useless.
I also tried charging by USB-cable with several PC's but without any result. I measured at the + and - poles of both batteries and measured about 0,3 Volts, so the batteries must have been drained completely. I guess the protection circuit in the battery/phone prevents charging.
On one battery I directly put power on the battery poles from another power supply, which deliveres about 10 Volts for a very short time (only for about 2 seconds). Then I measured the voltage on the battery poles; it was about 3 Volts now! I put the battery back in the Diamond and to my surprise it charged normally. I also did this with the second battery and it also functions normally again.
Tonight one of the batteries was drained again and the charger was connected after about two hours and again no charging was possible. I did 'the trick' with the other power supply and afterwards everything was working fine again.
In other situationss, when I connect the charger directly after the phone switches itself off after the battery low warning it also works normally.
The problem seems to be that the phone drains the battery completely when left without charging and when it gets too low charging is not possible in the normal way. The phone swithes itself off at about 5% charge level, so the software seems to be working ok.
Does anybody know this problem, and maybe propose a solution.
I'm using the latest stock 2.03 ROM from HTC.
Thanks in advance!
I'm having the charging issue. Having it with both of batters. Overnight charging and only 40%. Also drains like with in hour. Any solution?
So like the title said i have replaced the battery in my P9, with an original battery. It has the same part number and all that. I have noticed that the phone won't charge the replacement battery, i have returned the new battery in warranty and revived another one. Same thing, the phone starts up as soon as you plug in any kind of power source to it , like a charger, but no charging notification. The notification light pulses in rare intervals (some thing of 10 secs or more) but it's not steadily on like when normally charging. And the most vexing thing is : if i replace the original battery it charges. Unfortunately the the original battery now has the bad habit of cutting out on me at random from anywhere 47% or bellow .... The phone is nearly 3 year old now.
Have you given the new batteries some time to charge? Maybe they were delivered to you fully discharged.
First one was on 85% the second on 60% or so. I kept the 1st one on charger for a whole weekend... Still nothing
Have you tried to callibrate the original battery (you say it suddenly drops if below 40%)?
Yes, I have allowed the battery to run down to 3% and the phone turning itself off. Then fully charged it while being off. So the original battery is just plain old, nearly 3y old. The problem is that the phone refuses to charge the new batteries regardless of original charge. Also it turns automatically on when you plug in a charger, not just showing the charge animation. That is not normal behavior.

I've done that after reading you'r message , but i have already done the steps not req root. And i'm not willing to root my phone.
P9 also not charging
Did you manage to find a resolution to this issues? I'm having the same problem with my P9. I changed my battery, and it now won't charge. It turns on ok, and everything seems to be working. When I plug in the charging cable, it makes the sound it usually does, the battery symbol flashes green but instantly turns white again. When the phone is off, plugging the cable in switches it on, but no charge. I've had two replacement batteries, both have the same issue. Also, the original battery is now doing the same. I'm wondering if I damaged something while removing the battery.

I think it's problem in charging IC or port.
Hi all
Had same issue with replacement battery
After replacement battery isn't charging. Problem is in bad connections
(probably from long shelf storage connectors got rusty)
Voltage was fine but temperature reading was way off (very low -2) and phone didn't charge battery
Problem is that there was no error message about battery temp.
After cleaning the contactors battery reading became normal and it started charging
Anybody ever had any solution to this problem? I have the same issue. Battery replaced - not taking any charge. If micro USB charger plugged in - the phone turns on. If it is already turned on plugging in the charger the screen flashes the % of the charge and nothing.
When in charging this device heats a lot, though it can charge through only a 15W charger. Even when battery is charged to 100%, it does not stop heating. I checked the temperature after 20 minutes from the time device was charged 100%( the charging cable was connected), But felt the same amount of heat even after it has been some time. Doesn't the phone come with overcharge protection?? My last device was poco f1 and it became super cold just after 10 minutes as it has been fully charged. Anyone facing the same issue or is it just me.
For now I do not have any issues related to overheating both during the charging or phone usage, however my battery drains a lot faster with Google app consuming as much as 20% in the background. If you are charging the phone overnight you can try disabling the Fast Charging mode and see if the overheating is still there. I do not have idea about over heat protection.
Hello

Do you have same issue still?
For me, after battery reaches 100% the phone eventually cooled down.

This problem does not occur anymore. I think one of the updates fixed it
I changed my battery on my Mi 8 SE 2 days ago and I have been seeing some weird issues when the phone is charging.
The first time I charged it with the new battery it started charging really fast going from 3% to 7% in a few seconds and it charged up to around 40% and stopped, after I unplugged the cable it started draining really fast down to around 30%.
After plugging the cable back in it continued charging and got stuck at 55% no matter what I even turned it on and it showed 70% and wouldn't drop or charge. after a day it finally turned off and I tried charging it again.
This time it had the same issues getting stuck at random %, however it somehow managed to charge up to 100% and I used it normally for about 24h after completely draining it until it shut down.
When I tried charging it again it charged to 81% and got stuck after unplugging the charger it started going down to 60% and got stuck again, when I turned it on it said charged and the battery showed 34% and rebooting it showed 53% and it kept saying charged no matter what.
Has anyone experienced this issue when changing the battery on a phone?
I have been using the original charger the whole time and I have also tried different chargers with the same results. I even tried to unplug and re-plug the battery and it doesn't change anything.
I am using Pixel Experience 11 with the final update and it is not rooted.
Hello. I found some interesting problem? in my XZ1C. When i charge battery to 100% on turned on phone till full charge and next shut down without unplugging charger it indicates 88% and keep charging to 100!. I thought my battery slowly dies. Now i see it is about 12% more potential in it xD.
I run Havoc 4.6 maybe that is the reason. I wonder if you faced the same problem and know how to fix it. Charging on shutdown phone is a little bit irritating.
Perhaps this is such a case where the device manufacturer protects the battery from harmful charging to full.
