So I thought I'd calibrate my battery today... I completely drained it, powered it up like 10 times so it had no battery left. Then I took out the battery for one minute, inserted right back and plugged the phone to the wall charger. It has been charging for about 5 hours(I think more) and still the led hasn't turned green
When I touch the back of the phone it's warm so that means it's charging still... Is this normal when calibrating the battery or should I try starting it to check the battery condition and forget about calibrating? Thanks in advance.
edit: ok, I unplugged the charger cuz I have to go out... and the red led was still going... no wonder :/ So remove/reisnert battery, boot up android from nand. Battery 99% already I guess this calibration has pretty much failed right?
So no one knows anything about this? I tried to calibrate again last night... The red led again got stuck. What could be the cause of this? I reflashed radio recently so I don't think that's it.
Does anyone has any advice? I will try charging with power on, see if it will fully charge and if green led will turn on. And then again with power off without letting the battery be drained completely and see what happens. I hope nothing's wrong cuz I'd hate to have to return it
I also would like to know this.

Tried this aswell n the phone was on 99%. the voltage was also wrong when its 100% (4197, i beleive its ment to be around 42xx or 43xx). Tried deleting batterystat.bin from system but not sure i followed the right procedure after that (take bat out, charge, deplete, charge). a dedicated thread for this would be nice.
Did you try leaving the phone off and leaving it on charge until the LED changed to green. u may have to leave it over night. 15+ hours. Not sure if this works.
I tried it. The thing is the led wont turn green. When the phone is off and charging the led wont ever turn green and when I pull the cable out the red led doesn't turn off. It get stuck until I remove hte battery.
However when the phone is on and charging the led WILL turn green. I'm getting crazy over this. Can sb plz heeeeeelp?

You wont be able to do a calibration in NAND Android, which i'm guessing you are using, because i have the same problem.
The only way to properly charge the battery and get the green light is to wake up the device, plug the charger while the screen is on and leave it charging.
I got 50 hours +10% out of moderate use with one full charge - phone on, and i am happy. Same as WinMo ROM.
I haven't seen a solution for this one yet, but i hope someone is working on it.
oh, thanks so much for clearing this up. Yes I have nand android too. I'm not complaining about battery life, it's very good. I just did the battery calibration out of curiosity and bumped into this issue. Glad it's not hardware or battery related and I hope someone fixes it eventually.
ok, this a little weird...
i was using my phone today until the battery died. i put it on the charger (amber light appeared indicating charging). when i tried to turn my phone on, all i got was the initial HTC splash screen and then a blank screen. i tried multiple times, but i haven't been able to turn it on and have no idea wtf is wrong.
phone is rooted and running Revolution HD 1.1. i've never had problems before until today.
any suggestions or how i can fix this?

Unplug your phone and pull your battery.
Then plug it back in and let it charge until you see the green "fully charged' light.
Unplug it and try to turn it on.
Post back and let us know if anything's changed.
thanks i'm actually in the middle of trying that now. will update once fully charged.
Did you install a custom recovery, and if so what version? Xboarder fixed charging in 5.2.0 but not newer versions that I'm aware of. If that is the case then you will need to charge the battery enough to start the phone.

thanks to everyone who replied. quick update and additional details...
- i'm running ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0
when i plugged in the usb cable to charge, the phone initially had a blinking amber light for a couple seconds and then switches to a solid amber light.
i left it like this while i slept only to wake up to a phone with no charge light at all. if it was charging, it would've either stayed solid amber light or solid green (indicating full charge).
so what other options do i have...?
it's gonna b a boring train commute to work this morning...
ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 is the bugged recovery , you prob have a old version this happened to me as well , i needed a replacement from t-mobile .
Try This : Here
or
1) Install Android-SDK
2) Navigate to c:\program-files(x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
3) adb reboot bootloader
If it boot's into bootloader PM me & i'll give you furthur instruction
thanks for the suggestion Revolution, but i got it working...dunno how...maybe it was just dumb luck/chance.
when i got to work, i decided to try charging the phone again before heading over to the t-mobile store. connected to charger and showed solid amber light (no blinking light this time). after about 15 min on the charger, i was able to turn it on and had it boot into the home screen.
status shows that the battery is now charging. the Battery Calibration app initially showed 2%, but has slowly crept up to 5%.
btw - your sig shows "Project Nocturnal" for the Amaze 4G...where can i find more info about that rom? i googled and found it for the sidekick, but nothing else...

Glad it's working now.
It's not released and it's based on old firmware that had CIQ , i'll be working on a new version , for now try QuikSense : Here or BeastMod : Here and i'm glad your phone's working now .

waiting for xboarder to upload fixed camera and live wallpaper for QuikSense and Beastmod 2.0, but i'll be looking out for your rom in the future as well.
Kinda having the same problem...
I'm a noob...but, my phone did the same thing...after letting it charge all night, this is what I get:
Blank screen, the bottom icons light up and the computer can see the two "drives" of the phone but they are empty. I never see any flash screen or anything, but it does vibrate a couple times. Oh, and the battery light is solid green.
Any help ????
I sometimes have had the same problem but I noticed the phone is in clockmod and u have to use a flashlight to see the screen because it is all dark which would normally make u think the phone is off

Hi I just recently installed Wolfbreak gaming rom, everything was fine until I charge my phone and noticed that the notification light was red not orange I thought the battery was too low, I left my phone charging until 100% but instead of showing the green light it turned off, I used led tester to check the led and the green color barely appears, and the yellow, orange and white colors shows a red notification, is it a hardware issue, do I need to replace the led, or is it a bug from the custom rom

If led tester shows up the green color it indicates that this is surely software issue. The "diode" in X10i is RGB module. There might be G damaged, but as you told, green colour appeared in led tester.
There might be another problem, with your battery... Dont you use some OEM battery? Try to clean battery stats and reboot, it might help.
when my phone is fully charge the LED indicator still color red... not green...
anyone can help me....

it's still red because it might be trickle charging or something.. i experience the same thing especially when i leave my phone at night to charge.
The title says it all really. Been running RR for a couple of weeks but last night my LED was blinking blue but there was no notification, it was unplugged and 73% charged at the time. I played about in the LED settings and it stopped when I changed the low charge LED colour from blue to red. Any ideas why it did it?
Thanks
Why dont u post that bug in the rom thread where it should be... It's not hardware related ?
Thanks any way for me to delete this one?
