I have a problem. I left my phone for charging all night and in the morning I saw my phone dead and when I tried to remove and put the cable again that red likght started to blink. It is strange because the battery acted very well much better than the old battery.
What I want to say is the new battery which I think is original or a good copy ( same capacity and all but a little bit thinner, it was 3 times better than the old original battery ) Now, the problem is that the old battery was already keeped with 100 % and the charger and the usb port of my laptop will charge it but the new battery I think is dead 0 % and my phone don't want to charge it. Also, i had this problem on the stock battery 2 months ago but never persisted like it does with the new battery and i can mount my phone to copy and view files from sd card so the charging port probably is not damaged.
What can I do ? The new battery even if is a chinesse crap, can't die in just 2 weeks, because it was acting great last 2-3 days very good performances, 3-4 hours display on.

This phone has a bad history since day one that I had to send back top Spain for the warranty to cover replacing the motherboard. Today my day started with WM 6 not loading up and phone shutting off. I downgraded to WM5 to re install WM6 touch VIII. All went well until it reaches the windowns screen and when I click start-settings or anything else it beeps and shuts off. The only way it stays on is when connected to USB or to wall charger. I have 2 batteries that are about 1 yr old. One of which I was using daily heavily. I noticed the other battery which I use less, when connected to wall charger it does not even turn charger light on. I did leave battery aout of phone for at least 4 hours after I had issues getting past the Prophet touch VIII Gullum screen this AM. Now, should I buy another battery and try it or is this the internal battery(is there one) that does not hold charge and needs repairing. Anyone had similar issues. The search function here did not return anything.
Is your battery charged up? I had the same problem when my battery was down to under 25%. Once the battery was charged up the problem went away.
try a new battery start fresh
try a new battery start afresh or use some of your friends whose is only not more than 2 months old ,if battery is the culprit then everything would work fine. these batteries dont last much more than 1 year.
I got it to work!!
I put the battery that works and charged it off the wall charger. I could see the battery scale go from 0% to 100% in a few minutes. Something really weird, I went ahead and ordered another battery on ebay but its coming from Hong Kong so hopefully the remaining battery won't die. I also reinstalled Touch VIII and it works great so far. Thanks for replies.
Hey All
Got 2 Feiteng H7100's and they both work perfect, except the battery
When charging, sometimes they dont charge, left them both overnight and both were only a few % higher than the previous 8 hours when they were put on to charge (this is through an iPhone adaptor 1Mah not 0.7Mah that was given, both with the chinese USB cable)
Every time the phones are restarted, the battery percentage is usually very different, can jump from 22% to 37%
Today is the first full day ive had with them, mine still seems to be on, restarted and it gave me a 62%, it is now, after a few hours at 58%, but im sure if i restarted it the percentage would either drop a lot, or increase a bit
Is this normal for chinese phones? is there something i can try? new batteries off of ebay?
Cheers,
Glen
i am havin HTC AMAZE 4G
when i used to charge it before
phone used to come to 90% from a full in approximately 1 hour.
now it comes very quickly like 10-15 minutes
& also the major problem is my phone gets switched off at any battery percentage like 65% & when it gets restarted it comes to around 8% or sometimes even 4%.
if i pull out battery again restart the phone then sometimes it comes to around 30% back or any random increase in battery or sometimes even decreases to 4% & then the battery gets drained in 5 minutes & i have charge it again
battery takes more time to even charge
sometimes using DATA & charging it even takes 10 hours to charge
i dont know what is the problem
i have been thinking about battery problems
but i googled & in some blogs it shows as circuit problems too
the problem is i am living in INDIA
this phone is not official here so the service center guy wont touch it & i dont want to waste money on the battery if it isnt the problem
USING HTC ICS OFFICIAL ROM
NOW BATTERY LASTS with normal data on maximum 4 hours
help me out guys
thank u
How old is your handset? Battery life decline is normal as it ages. Without being able to inspect and test yours out all I can tell you is the most likely explanation for what you're describing is battery wear.
The original HTC battery that came with my phone only holds 2/3 of the charge it once had when new, which is why I invested in a pair of Anker batteries and an external charging station (I purchased them together in a package on eBay for under $30 US shipped). Having the extra batteries has been an excellent addition. I alternate them every few days to more evenly balance how they are wearing and to prolong the remaining life of my original battery. Plus it's great to have an extra battery to use for those times when I really need my device, but don't have the ability to plug in.
Check out the best battery thread in the Amaze accessory section for more details and comparisons.
I hav been using this phone for 1.5 years
tried using battery of my dad he uses same phone.
It showed 56% in my fathers phone
Wen i switched the battery &; started my phone it showed 15% at start
So what could be the problem then?

You're getting the different results because the batteries aren't calibrated to each phone. If you put your fully charged battery in your father's phone it shows 56%, correct? What happens when you put your father's fully charged battery in your phone? Keep in mind that when switching around the batteries neither with be calibrated to the device, but will instead show a percentage vs the battery that was properly calibrated.
Example: the battery in my phone shows as fully charged, but is worn and no longer charges to the maximum. If I place it in my brother's Evo 3D which uses the same size battery but is newer. It will show as only partially charged because his device is calibrated to his newer stronger battery. Conversely, if I put his newer battery in my phone which has been calibrated to my older worn battery it will appear to be fully or nearly fully charged for a long time before it begins to show it's draining with use.
The only way to properly test your battery would be to either try a known stronger one in yours for several charge - discharge cycles as your phone calibrates to it, or to try your battery in another device for several such cycles. Then you need to compare if there was an improvement in up-time or not. Short of taking it in to be checked on diagnostic equipment it's the best method I can think of.
Good luck!
Thank you very much for the reply
Goin to a local mobile repair guy for a hardware check
Will tell you the results tommorow
Thanks once again
Maybe you just need to wipe battery stats. One trick that works is let it drain completly and let it be drain over night and charge it again keep doing a couple of days it may just get better. But think is just battery problem not hardware related.
My Original HTC battery worked its way down to 2 hours of usable talk time. Eventually, got so bad that it barely charged on anything but a high current wall charger. Technically it was under warranty at the time...
Ordered 2 Anker Batteries w/ charger for $30, and not long after that the charger broke. It quit charging batteries.
I then just stuck with one Anker battery in my phone and the other as backup. The battery I used the most is now down to about 4 hours of life on a full charge. The least used is about 8. I try to keep the worse one charged up as a backup in a pinch and now use the good battery full time.
Just how life goes sometimes...

Yeah that Anker charger is the weak-spot in that 2 battery package deal. The damn thing is flimsy and fragile. I'm so paranoid about breaking it I treat it with kid gloves. The batteries are pretty good though. The package was one of the best investments I made since owning the Amaze. Using indelible marker I labeled them 1 and 2, and rotate their usage with my original HTC (which is easy to distinguish). This way when I'm on the road I always have one fully charged spare handy, one charging at home, and one in my handset.

Agreed!
But When I was using official ICS from T-mobile, I had the same problem, even after wiping. I even faced a funny thing. Percentage of battery in bar was different from percentage shown in lock screen!!!
After flashing custom rom, All problems GONE!
Hello Everyone,
ive just bought a Honor 7 yesterday. updated OTA. the phone is charging very, very slow. its also decharging very quickly. like it takes 1hour to charge 10%. im using the huawei charger and cable that came with it. but it doesnt matter, charging with other chargers or at my pc is still exactly as low. so i charged the thing the whole day yesterday. i closed all running apps and went to sleep, at this point the batterie was at 97%. so after 6hours of sleep, the batterie is completely empty... theres a 128gb sd card in it, but ive already formatted it yesterday using the phone. (i did read it can drain the batterie if not properly formatted) restarting the phone doesnt help either. factory reset doesnt do anything. DOA? should i just return it?
you should change it to another. sounds like yours is damaged somehow, my battery charges 40% in hour
turn off phone and see how long it take to charge if still slow there is a battery problem, get it replaced
got a new one and its working now!
A few weeks ago, my phone started to shutdown by itself while my battery charge would show from 30 to 70 %.
So i ended up recently by ordering a new battery.
I did the replacement and now the problem remains with the new one.
Before starting using it i pluged the tel for charging and it got 30% in 1 or 2 hours and then got suddenly full charge.
This is the very first time i experience this strange behaviour.
My phone has the B396 build and is rooted.
Is there anything i can do to make the OS see the real battery charge ?
