Which ROM / Kernel are you on? Are you sure the battery is actually charging? If possible try another battery / your battery in another Note.. Are you charging from USB or Wall charger?
I had an issue with both my girlfriend's and my Note where they showed the charging icon when plugged in, yet they were not charging at all, Issue was resolved by changing the USB cable I was using from the wall plug to the phone.. Solved it for both phones..

i think this either means the battery is tonked or the charger is tonked :silly: Check with a different charger.. If it is USB type charger, change the cable and check.. Even with a different charger if it is the same, change the battery and check.. Hope this helps

In my case I fixed it by running a small file on the battery contacts on the device (very carefully) and on the battery. They seem pretty susceptible to moisture.
My battery was showing Over Voltage and as if the USB charger was connected when in fact it wasn't.
The above fixed it for me!

If you are on an overclocked version of kernel try changing to std version.

Phone got dead.. Need help.

My MI-410 is bricked. It is not booting up, no keypad lights. At first tried to connect it to my laptop without inserting battery and then insered the battery. The phone started at that time.
But then it again bricked after 2-3 days. And it is not starting since then. I tried the the same procedure but no help now.
I tried the procedure on different computers too, but no help.
Please help me, as I really loved my device. It is completely dead. At service center they said "We can't help you". They can't do it.
Any help will be appreciated.

Laptop is not showing any notification about device connected.

how did it happen...
just try to boot in fast boot mode. if this works your MI410 is not yet dead.

In case you had nandroid backup before everything went wrong, you should be able to restore your system from recovery.......

Can't open boot mode. The problem happened since when I was flashing a new ROM at midnight. I got asleep and my phone was in CWM recovery for whole night.
When I wake up, the battery was gone and my device too.
None of the methods work. No boot options nothing. Only red LED notification light when connected to Laptop.

plug it to the power socket for few(2-3) hrs without doing any thing. then ur phone should get back to normal.(dont use laptop for charging for this time)
this happened to me once. this is because of zero charge in the battery. the battery needs some juice to become normal.
else you can try to switch ON with spare battery if you have one.

Went to a mobile repairing shop. They said its a hardware issue, and they mend it for around 450 INR.
Feels a good deal. Lets see what they can do. Will go there today.
Meanwhile thanks @reversegear for your kind help.
Also my battery feels a little inflated, maybe the battery is also gone.
Hoping for the best.

Battery after Qi Charging

Hi all
Is it just me or after charging the device via Qi Wireless charger, does the battery drain quicker??

I charge mine via QI every night. It get great battery life. No issues at all.

Well I've gone from 49% too 38% in the time it took for you to reply! Reboot sorts it but still!!

Nope, no issues here, if check your battery page and see what is causing the drain. I get a full day of usage even with my heavy usage

It might be the charger. Have you tested it with other phones?
QI chargers actively communicate with phones while they charge them, so it could be that the charger is telling the phone it's getting more power than it actually is.

90% of my charging is done on Qi pad on night stand and I get phenomenal battery life.

Maybe it's just the case of the battery meter being screwy....as it seems to jump hideously...turbo charger is fine.

I get great battery life, I'm on the maxx though, I had the turbo for a month on tmobile. I had to tether for about an hour so it dropped my battery down 15%. But 2.5 hours of SOT and 16 hours off the charger. Connected to my moto 360 as well.

you could have a calibration issue, here's how to fix it;
plug in to your turbo charger,
press and hold the power button till the phone shuts off (on it's own, not just the power off prompt), keep holding the power button,
it will flash a battery icon and then show the charge %, make sure it matches what the os said (if you're mis-calibrated, it will not),
you can turn it back on, but leave it on the turbo charger till it's %100.
Some odd charger methods cause this issue (like usb3.0 ports)..
Good luck!

Hey, thanks for the info. With my phone showing 16% I turned off the phone as you suggested and it immediately showed 75%!! So I'm continuing to charge on Turbo charger.
Is this a known issue then? Any other posts about it and what causes it?

[Q] HTC One Turns Off at 30% Battery

Hi,
My HTC One has started turning Off as it goes below 30% and does not powers up until plugged in to charger. When i plug in charger it shows charging and 0% indication.
How can i rectify this ?

I too have seen that the device does not properly indicate the REAL battery level. Mine usually turns off when I am below 10%.

Yeah I'm sure there's a thread that solves this issue, I'm looking for it too. I've been having crazy battery issues, such as the phone randomly changing it's mind on the battery level. For example if I restart the phone (may have to do with if I was charging it or not) the battery either goes up to max, or sometimes goes down to ZERO and won't even start up (pre reboot it would be near 50%)
I think this happens because of using a ****ed charging cable. I have two main cables that I use, with the original HTC adapter (no longer have the HTC wire though, so I use the one from my Nexus 7). Over time the Nexus cable got damaged, and even data transfer was extremely slow and unreliable.
The funnest part? When I charge my phone and it's at 90%, and I restart and it claims 100%, so I power down and it keeps charging for another 10 minutes or so and finally the LED turns green, only to turn it back on and it claims 97% and keeps charging.

HTC one M7 & M8 battery reset and calibration: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...ry-charger-reset-procedure-htc-one-m7-m8.html
Follow it to the letter, skip "Turn off Fast Boot in settings" as it no longer applies to our phones, unless you are running an old rom.

I tried this but it does not help much.

Is anyone else experiencing a problem with their phone randomly switching off? Mines turns off at random intervals regardless of battery and when I turn it back on a percentage of the battery level drops. Please see link below for screen shot

HTC One Turns Off at 30% Battery
I Am facing same issue. when battery level is on 30% then phone goes suddenly off. I have done catch partition in bootloader for calibration of battery but it is not permanent solution. I think there should be permanent battery calibration is solution but I dont know how to do it

My htc one m7 also turn off using 30% battery only i purchased a battery and give it to mobile shop but they are unable to change it and asked me to go htc service centre but i am out of warranty and trying to contact some private service centre its not an issue that can solved by yourself or doing battery calibration now i am using my phone with a 10400 mAh powerbank i will soon contact service centre or buy a phone with removable battery if servicing cost too much

Try another phone shop, any good shop should be able to replace your battery. There is a lot of uni-body phones nowadays, good phone shops know how to deal with them.

Question Optimised night charging (smart charging) on wireless charger

Hejsan!
Does anyone know if 'Optimised night charging' should work/is going to work also when charging wireless?
The graph showed that the battery level went up around 60% in 4 hours (22:00 - 02:00) from 40% directly to 100%.

When charging at night I want it to go as slow as possible. And theoretical ~50%/4 hours is a full charging when sleeping, so that looks ok.
But now it was 'charging' from 02:00 untill 6:15 also. Keeping it up there. Instead I like to see that it keeps the charge at 80% and then finishes charging from 04:00 tot 06:00 or something.
I do have quite a stable going-up schedule. It might be a one hour difference. My going to sleep time fluctuates all the time.
Am I just waiting for the optimised charging to kick in when it has decided 'now is the time', or is it not an option for wireless charging att all?
I have my phone 6 weeks now, had vacation and all, so the 'stable' sleeping and waking times have just begun. Plus I changed from normal/wire charging (not 80W) to wireless 15W charging, then wireless 10W, and now maybe 5 or 7,5W wireless, overtime.
Anyway, a lot of info for a short question. Thank you.

My way around this is to use a timer switch on the wall outlet. I use a 500mA charger and program the timer switch to come on around 4 hours before I wake up in the morning.
One problem I need to mitigate is if my phone is very low on battery when I go to bed and will shut down during the night before charging commences. This means the alarm won't work. For this reason, I think a slow 500mA charger is a better choice because it can be programmed to switch on earlier in the night than a 1000mA or higher output charger. I might also set my phone to flight mode if the battery is very low when I go to bed.
Have been charging overnight like this for about a year now and it works for me.
