If you charge your battery to 100% and take out the plug, then plug it in again. Does the green light light up for you guys that are on ICS? Mine is not lighting up and has the weirdest charging behaviors ever. Sometimes the charger seems to work, sometimes it doesn't. Sync always seems to work. I was wondering if this was normal. Cause I know if you are connected to the dock, the tablet doesn't start to draw power from it until its near 75%.

I noticed that my sync n charge retractable cable has stopped charging my BA because while it is connected, the power keeps dropping and on one occasion completely drained and switched while connected overnight. It can still sync though, and the charging light is on. While connected the power setting screen displays charging. What could be wrong? Do I need to get another sync/charge cable? It can still charge with a wall charger, though.
are there any programs running in your BA?
are the backlight set to the minimum?
how about your battery?
i've had an experience with a "kinda same" event like this.
with my old battery... im playing music while plugged in.
and it seems my battery is discharging more power while charging less. it couldnt compensate with the discharge so its climbing down slowly rather than charging up.
but.
when i replaced a new battery it didnt happen again...
i know it will occur again as my battery wears out.
where to buy?
yo silvah! can u buy usb sync-n-charge sa pinas?
just pmed you!
wow!
I know this is off topic but i gotta say it. Airfagev, pinoy community rules!! who started this site anyway?
I was wondering if charging the View/Flyer was like charging the HTC phones. You charge til the light turns green, shut it down. Charge until the light turns green, turn it on, charge until light turns green again?
There is no mention of that in the Flyer's user manual.
It just says charge it with the supplied cable and it's fully charged when the light turns solid green.
It sounds like you are maybe talking about calibrating the battery meter? I did the same as my HTC phones. Charge to full, drain to about 20%, repeat a couple times. Don't drain the battery until the device shuts down, its not good for the battery, and no real benefit gained.
I haven't heard of the sequence you mentioned.

No, such myth didn't exists for the Flyer and hopefully they also disappear for other HTC devices.
"Myth? But it works..."
Yes, also my days are lucky when I see a star in my morning coffee grounds
"But why is the percentage then better?"
Ah, the percentage is better. Yes but did you ever check if the device stays longer active? Surely not because then you know, that the accumulator didn't work better when you charge him in a special way. The only change is here cheating the battery statistic which is used to build the percentage. Therefor it stays longer on high values but didn't work any minute longer. Sorry.

Li-polimer batteries ALWAYS need a good full initial (out of the box) charge, after that, they improve in discharge over the next 5 to 10 chargings. The battery does not have any charge memory degradation as old Ni-Cads used to have so totally forget the 'discharge-recharge' idea.
However, as posted by redpoint73, never let it get below 15% or life is drastically shortened.
Best policy is, whenever you possibly can, connect it to a HTC (9Volt) charger and keep it topped up.
If you treat you devices battery as a 'only when mobile' power source; then it will give you long life. Don't misuse or abuse it...
I have a charger at the side of my sofa, one in the car (for long work days) and one at the side of the bed for overnight. Done the same for all my HTC devices before, and never had to replace a battery (which BTW, you can do if need with this tab!)
Ok, all that said...Is there such a thing as over charge? If I left the charger plugged in over night, would it be wearing down the battery? So do I need to keep an eye on charging and unplug it as soon as it's full/green lit?

You can leave it plugged in.
It's a fully regulated system, just like a laptop.
Hey, I have been having problem with my phone for the past 2 weeks in terms of charging it. Sometimes it charges when I plug it in to a charger and the next day when I plug it again, the red light lights indicating it is charging but it really doesn't. So when I plug it in to a different wall outlet, it charges and when I do the same the next day it doesn't. Not until a switch a wall outlet. I don't really know what could the problem be, I have tried a htc charger and a third party charger, both are giving me the same results. I even flashed different ROMS and KERNELS to see if the problem resolves but it doesn't. Please I don't know what the problem might be, I mean the red light even turns on, but sometimes it charges and sometimes doesn't.
When it does not charge even after charging it a couple of hours, note the current battery level then restart the phone and take a look at battery meter again, it should indicate it correctly. Something similar happened to me due to a bad battery.
I've done that, but it doesn't change. For example last night I used my phone till 6 percent, put it on charge, woke up this morning and saw that it was dead. This happened before too but I didn't completely use my phone till 6 percent, usually around 20 and it just wouldn't charge. So I would have to move to a different wall outlet to charge it.
maybe your battery has gone bad ? o.0 try a new battery
Yea I suppose that is the only option I have left . Thanks for helping

Any answer may apply to this question doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, but what if its not the battery? could it be the pin inside my phone that maybe messed even though the red light turns on?
Hi,
I have problem with my girlfriends Desire X. When it is connected to the socket. The diode is on and the icon shows that it is charging. But... It charges only when the screen is on, as soon as it goes black the diode is still on but it stops charging or does it extremely slow. For example the phone is connected with 30% at the evening, she plays with it for an hour before sleeping and it charges to 40% and then the screen goes of for the night. At the morning the battery is at 41% and stats shows almost straight line of battery percentage during the night while charging constantly.
Any one could help us with that?
Am not sure exactly... Two possible issues: Maybe it's a faulty cable / charger or else a faulty battery. Try out replacing one after the other if it helps. If not, it's a mainboard issue (so if you still have warranty claim it).
I think that it occurs on all of our chargers. I wonder if it is a battery issue or cable, the are screen independent. It can be either motherboard or software... I will try to talk here into factory reset. If not then we will go with warranty.
I've started the habit of waiting for the battery in my phone to reach about 5 to 10 % before switching out the battery for the one I've charged in the cradle. This is all fine and dandy,but recently I've been unable to charge my phone just by plugging it in normally. I'll get notifications in the the battery indicator that it's charging and the quick charging notification in the drop down. However in the battery status menu in the settings it will say not charging. I'm using the stock quick charger and the stock cable to charge both my phone and the battery, though it only works in the cradle charger. I don't know if switching the battery relatively frequently is causing this problem and I just need to discharge this battery fully while in the phone as perhaps the phone is indicating a higher battery percentage then what is true. Either way I was wondering if anyone has either delt with this issue or has any ideas on what I should try to remedy this issue.
Thanks in advance.
