Not sure, what did you have running, what apps/widgets do you have installed?
I found if I left WiFi enabled and plugged it in to charge, the phone was really warm the next morning and did not charge at all. So now I make sure it and GPS are off and then charge over night with no issues or over heating.
Can anyone tell me why it is not possible to charge the phone with it turned off? As soon as I plug it back in to charge it turns on again, plugged in to the computer or to the wall outlet. I have never had a phone that acted that way before.
Hi guys nothin was running in terms on apps widgets or wifi or anything. I did have wifi running for bout half hour as i was browsing. But i turned it off. I was on the fone however but this had made no difference in the past 5 months

Anybody else have an issue where it takes forever to charge the phone? The past few days I've been charging my phone overnight and it's only been hitting 85% and coming to a stop. I'm assuming its 100% but the display is lying to me, but I could be wrong.
I have the same issue. Even if I charge the battery on a dock still won't reach past 85

Seems like it just sits at 85 for a while, as if it's really 100 and just waiting to drop below 85 to update the status

Battery Issue.....
Having a similar problem. Mine seems to stay @99% it hits 100% rarely . I've tried w/phone on and off (which charge to 98% win I turn on after charging overnite. Went to the Sprnt Store they couldn't find anything or didn't bother to check it out. Anyway they gave me a "Brand New Phone" GUESS WHAT SAME ISSUE Hmmm???. Next Step Will Contact HTC. LOL

Erm, that's how the phone works.
It charges to 100, then drains to 90, then back to 100, over and over. You're just not pulling it off when it's at 100%. It only sits at 100% for about 5 mins.
As for the 85% thing? That's not something I've seen before... Run it for a few minutes at 85%, see if it drops like normal. If it sits at 85% for too long, it's probably a display bug.
I am not having the same issue, but didn't want to start another battery charging issues thread. My evo3d isn't charging overnight. I will put it on the charger and it will show charging, but then when I wake up it will either be shut off or at something like 12% . I am (currently) on infected eternity 1.41 no tweaks. Taints kernel oc'd to 1.44. Does anyone have any ideas?

The kernel is panicking and shutting your phone off, try another kernel or stop ocing your kernel until after phone is charged.

Instead of watching the percentage get an app to watch the battery voltage,
A full charge is 4330 or so,

I'll give it a try then report back
you can also try battery calibration app. shows the batt % and voltage and lets your recalibrate on the fly if your rooted. but yeah the batt will charge and discharge. if it's in discharge phase just unplug it and plug it back in and it'll start going back up.

So I bought SetCPU, and set up a profile for charging which is below the normal clock. This seemed to work as my phone charged all the way up last night. Thank you again.
I wonder why HTC did this. My EVO 3D won't charge to 100%, it will only charge to 99%. When I see the green light I thought it was fully charged but see it at 99%, so I leave it on my charging dock. Then I check later and it's down to 96%
This is my 3rd EVO. The previous EVO's did charge to 100%.
Try this. What ever your battery stops at unplug the charger and then plug it back in if you guys haven't already. This is what worked for me. Maybe it will for you as well.

I've had my new HTC Amaze 4G for 4 days now and absolutely love it, what a great phone! The battery life is great (I'm careful with all my settings) and I'm only finding issues with the charging TIME.
It's the second time I've charged it and after noticing how excessively long it took the first time, I clocked it this time and it took 4 hours and 45 minutes. I used a charger that I've used on many other devices with no issues (5 volts 1 amp).
The battery level increases 1% every 3 minutes, which adds up to 5 hours. I calculated this both with the screen on and by averaging out over a longer period of time with the screen off. I also tried with the phone completely off and the results were the same.
I made sure there were no processes hogging up processor time or excessive RAM usage.
When I go into to "Settings -> About Phone -> Battery" Battery status clearly states: Charging (AC).
I have also read somewhere that this can possibly be set this way by design (possibly to prevent the battery from heating or overcharging and saving its life in the long run).
I also realize that the phone is new, and the battery needs a few charges to be settled, but 5 hours to charge on the second charge just seems like too much.
On the HTC product support website, on the faq there is the following question/answer:
How long should it take to charge my battery?
"Your battery can take up to 4 hours to fully charge using the AC charger. It will take much longer using the USB as that is the trickle charge function."
Can anyone out there with an HTC Amaze 4G confirm how long their phone takes to fully charge from the AC charger?
I'm thinking/hoping this is a defective device/battery/setting...I don't like having to wait 5 hours to have my phone fully charged.
Thanks in advance,
Filipe
Ok, I'd like to add one more thing. I finished charging the phone last night (about midnight), by the time I went to bed (around 2 am), after barely having used it, it was still at 100%, now at 9:30 am (7.5 hours later) the battery level is at 95%. I had everything off and very little background services and apps running. Even the network type, is only set to the basic, no data connection was live/standby.When I check the battery status/histogram this is what I get:
-44% went to Cell Standby
-42% to Phone Idle
-8% Display
-6% Wifi (I think I used it before I went to bed, but turned it off right then, and it remained at 100% battery)
I'm not too happy...this can't be right...it shouldn't take 5 hours to charge and discharge this fast? Can anyone shed some light please?
Thanks
Come on....anyone? Please? This is driving me nuts!!
Yeah that sounds about right. Don't complain man. Your battery life is pretty good compared to other devices. My device takes 3 hours to fully charge and can last 24 hours with minor use. Just charge it when you go to bed and you won't notice the time it takes
My desire hd takes almost as much (Around 3 hours) and my Optimus 3d prolly takes even more (5?) to fully charge from a full discharge...
(With Stock HTC/LG Charger. The HTC's AC Adapter is 5V/1A [Shouldn't that charge a battery in under 1 1/2 hrs?]. Not too sure about the LG)
They take Much longer to charge on Computer/Laptop USB Ports. The Optimus 3d actually loses battery while charging (With screen on) with a USB port.
Also, 5% a night is pretty good. My desire hd goes down 3-5% per night (2g, no data enabled.) or 0-1% with Airplane Mode. (Rooted, Revolution 6.31)
And my optimus 3d pretty much runs out of battery in <100 mins with full brightness while Playing Games - It goes down more than 1% per minute depending on the game being played, especially if 3d Converter is used. This is pretty much the same for all GB/Froyo ROMs.

I Agree. Both phones usually last around a day at least for me. You could always try a battery monitor such as GB Battery Stats or watchdog (The CPU One). CPU Intensive applications and Awake time during sleep are usually what cause bad battery life. Faster chargers such as 2A ones should also charge the battery faster, but they might reduce the overall battery life.
I would suggest buying a wall charger and cheap batteries from ebay. They last almost as long as stock batteries and cost only ~$2-4 each. [They apparently explode though. Never happened to me.]
-------------------------------
Both phones seem to charge from 0-90% much faster than 91-100% as well. I'm not sure why, since 100-90 wastes just as fast as 90-0. (Charging from 90%-100% battery practically takes a third of the full charging time)
many thanks
RESOLVED (Sort of...lol)
Thanks for your feedback guys!
I just finished charging it this morning, and it's FASTER NOW!
Took exactly 2 hours and 37 minutes (Battery Moniter is a great app!).
I think it actually may be due to the phone having some sort of smart charging system which "looks after" the battery. Since the phone is new, it might be wanting to start it off with some slowww charges and gradually speed them up.
But I still have to narrow it down some more since this time I'm actually using the supplied cable and charger (the ones I tried before were also 5V/1A).
The cable I was using (had it for a while now) had a pinch or two, it didn't look that bad, but I'm thinking it could also be the cable (could be shorting)!
I'm gonna do some testing on this cable now and report back my findings!
Thanks again!
RESOLVED!!!
Ok, so it actually turned out to be the cable. I really feel like a dumb ass...lol. Oh well, at least I figured it out!
So yeah, one good way to see if your cable / charger is good is to use Battery Monitor, and on the main screen where it says your device is charging (AC) and etc..it will also say the actual amperage (in mA) being fed to the battery...that number should be within the 500 to 750 range, if its lower, there is likely something wrong. (Mine was at 16...lol).
Thank you all for your help!!
Cheers!

My problem was the cable, and it was causing the phone to take five hours to CHARGE, not discharge.
These phones don't hold charge for too long, and the more activity you got going on, the more power it will consume. The screen hogs up the most power, so using the device constantly (especially with high intensity background light) will drain the battery very quick. First smart move would be to set the screen intensity to the lowest setting. Wi-fi and bluetooth, if you're not using them, shut them off. Open your task manager (or get a decent one from the market) and kill all the apps you got running in the background.
Games also require a lot of graphics/processing power, so naturally they will drain a lot of battery too.
Edit: There are some special cases where it could also be related to your network or even simply coverage zones exposed to the device. If it's stuck in a zone where it has weak 4g and 3g signals, it will keep bouncing back and forth causing more drain than normal on the battery as well.
If you've taken all these things into account, then you may have a defective device, then you will want to setup an RMA...or just take it back wherever you bought it and ask to exchange.
Hope this helps,
Cheers
My skyrocket takes about 3.5 hours to charge from 10% to full charge. If I plugged it in the car charger and run google map with the radio on the background, it would slowly drain the battery even though it was plugged in. My iphone 4 did not do this. It charges very fast and does not drain the battery even when I had several apps running in the background. I think the skyrocket consumes more power whether it is plugged in or not.

Hi, what you need is a charger with a higher amperage rating than 500mA (or 0.5A). Buy a charger that is rated for 5V/1Amp like this one and your problems should go away.
The phone is basically "burning" more energy than it is receiving from the USB charger, hence the discharge.
To know the amperage rating of your charger look on the label for numbers that look like "5V/500mA"...
Hope this helps,
Cheers
EDIT: The link I provided does include an iPhone cable, but I'm just referring to the charger itself, the cable would obviously have to be a micro-usb.

thread moved to...mexico?
Most illegal threads are trying to move from Mexico.
But, you need a charging source more powerful then the base 500ma, (or whatever that term of measurement is) computers are only supposed to supply 500ma to a USB port so AC adapters are typically better for charging. But feel free to follow the post above and check the rating on the charger.

Make sure to use the original charger and cable that was supplied to you by T-Mobile/HTC
I noticed the 12-pin cable is faster than the 5-pin.

Sounds about right. If you want better battery life either root it or buy another battery.
To get really good battery life ?...you got the wrong phone man.

I've been charging this sucker (it's off, never been turned on) for about 3 hours now. At first, it was getting warm from charging, now it's stone cold. But the stupid orange light won't go away.
How long did you charge yours?
Mine was completely dead upon arrival, as was another posters. He said his charged full in about 3 hours, mine is still charging, and I'm about 2 and 1/2 hours in with the phone off.
I charged mine for about 3 hours when i got it. never turned it on till it was fully charged...
with mostly setting up being done and a few camera shots i had mine o nthe charger roughly 3 hrs.. so ya the reports of 3 hrs sounds about right
when I got mine it was down to around 10%. Soon as the associate gave it to me I shut off all the auto synching and data connections, got it home and on the charger. Took about two and a half hours...maybe three. Though I've been finding it really holds a charge. Took it off to use it for 10 minutes to make a few calls and it still hadn't dropped a single percentage. Had I done that with the original EVO we'd be looking at 5-10% loss. The phone really screams!
If I remember the 3d took .3 days to charge past 99% lol mine did I know a few others did but I'm trying turning it off to see if I can get to 100%
Came to me at 50%
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Heh, I've been waiting to unplug it before going to bed, but it's been sitting at 99% for quite awhile. I guess I'll check it in the morning. Got an extra hour of play time with it though!
I charged mine over night and this morning the orange light was blinking and the battery icon kept changing from the charging icon to the full icon. Wonder if it's because I'm using a 3rd party USB cord to charge with? Seems like a strange way to tell the user that the battery is fully charged....

Try to use the supplied charger when you can. The charger is 1 amp vs others which are lower (approx 500-750 ma). When I had my Thunderbolt, I had this same issue and someone pointed this out to me which seemed to fix this. It also charges it a little faster.

got the same problem with the 14%->off and the different battery percentages in recovery and system.
i tried everything but the battery was broken.
best thing is to replace the battery.

it's NORMAL
TWRP is slow at updating the % it takes around 1-2minutes for it to show the correct % and if you are charging in recovery it will still take 1-2minutes then it will show a current % and a +
and ALL x+'s fly down from 14% to 0%
ALSO battery calibration is a myth.
