Hi there,
It is the 2nd battery I ordered "genuine motorola" from ebay locally and they just wont charge or either fall flat in minutes. Done reset battery stats it wont do nothing.
Have been changing batteries in thousands of devices in the past, even been working in a battery shop reconditioning camcorder batteries, know all about electrochemistry so now what??? Whats in there that I just dont get.
Very frustrated here please help.
It may be problem with your phone... Try the battery in another phone... Try to hook it up in a multimeter after you charge it, maybe your phone isn't charging it.

My Xda II is always charging. Even when is not plugged in.
Battery life is around 6 - 7 hrs.
First i thought that is the battery dead, but i tried with a new one.. and got the same result. He eats like 10 % in one hour.
Now I have Sin.Merged.V.2.0 but is not the soft fault.
I hared that I have do a hard reset but I don’t know how.
Anybody have an idea what to do so will not be on charge mode anymore ?
it's normal for a himalaya to charge up to 100% then run of the battery untill it reach a surden % and then begin charging once more
Is always on charging mode. Even when is not plugged in.
Probably a short on the pins on base of phone. Get a magnifying glass and take close look.

is not this .. i checked...
does anyone know ? why it shows charging and eats up my xda2 battery ?
I have the same problem! My XDA II is always charging. Even when is not plugged in. And i think it needs more thime for charging.
Battery life is around 4 hours.
I also tried hard reset a couple of times. It did not work. Still charging all the time!
I NEED SOME GOOD ADVICE ABOUT THIS.

ME TOO !! please anyone knows something about this ? Why is always charging and eats bettery life time ?
ok, so consider the possibility your battery is on the way out and you need to buy a new one, obviously if you haven't had the PDA/Battery wrong, this shouldn't be true, but nonetheless a possibiliy
always charging and eats bettery life time
I found out that my qtek 2020 has some other failure than yust bad battery. I took it to the service and they try with other battery and also put on my ppc new software (upgrade) but no succes.Battery still always charging and eats bettery life time.
:?:

yes i tried with a new battery and also made a software upgrade but still the same problem...it always says charging...
anyone knows a solution ?
There is a green lite always on. Usualy it is blinking and while it is always on, it needs at least 10times more power than usualy. This is the reason why battery life is so short.
On monday i will try to diskonect the green lite and hope solve the problem with battery life.
:?:
mm
no... don't do that ... the green light doesnt eat the battery...
the battery is eaten because the XDA thinks is charging...is not the light
maybe the pins are touching somewhere... this is what should cause this battery eating
You were right. 4 days testing my qtek2020 and result was mistake in mother board. Imposible to locate short. It is not in the pins, IT IS mother board...
I have battery problem too,
I read it must be alive 160 hours but my xda is down more speed
I changed my battery 2700 mA battery new one same problem continue
it finish speedly
could this problem electronic battery assambly of my xda IIi?
,,
well i sold mine... but i never was able to fix the phone... i dont think it was the batteries, nor the software... i think the phone was broken... in one way or another...
i wish you all luck with this problem... i hope you'll all fix it
had the same problem before, its still under warranty wayback that time, they said its a problem with the board inside. anyway they fixed it and replaced the circuit board inside. the call timers were revert back to 0 and my imei had changed so basically just like a new phone.
do you need a battery to turn on a wallaby? i have one and dont want to buy both a battery and a charger to see if it even works.
Well it doesnt run on solar power so i am pretty confident that you would need a battery but if the battery is dead you will need a charger to obviously, charge it. A charger costs £5 in the uk so i cant see it costing you much to try
You misunderstood. I have neither a battery or a charger. i want to know if you can power it on with just a charger. or do i need both the battery and charger just to get it ON?
it works without a battery.

The battery in the wallaby is inside the case, so if you have no battery who took it out and why? But as the previous post states you can use the wallaby without a battery.
it came dissassembled, missing the battery and antenna. and it looks like someones done some wiring in it, but the screen isnt broken from what i can tell. so if its tits up, anyone who needs a screen or parts i probably got em.
My father just bought a G1 off of eBay. It is great and everything, but somehow the battery meter is damaged, and every time the phone restarts, it needs a lot of charge to even switch on. Then the discharge is shown correctly, but the phone detects the fully charged battery as an empty one.
My friend said it would be a problem with the battery meter, and I share this option with him.
Is this part replaceable, or do we need a whole motherboard switch? Any hope fixing it for cheap?

eBay offers buyer protection. Just return the phone -- it's clearly defective.
Problem is that sending back the phone (shipping, etc, and already payed customs, stupid European penalty customs against USA stuff) would cost more than the phone itself :S
First, if you're using Amon RA's recovery you can wipe the battery status. There is a way do it in ADB, but I don't know it, search for it.
Second, there may be a problem in the battery if it was overheated, buying a replacement may solve the problem.
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App
the battery may not be mapped correctly (happened to me a couple days ago)
1. leave the phone off and charge it over night,
2. first thing in the morning boot to recovery and wipe your battery stats
3. reboot normally and use the battery until it dies, dont charge it or plug it in to anything....
4. then charge to full
this should fix the problem
Maybe the problem is with the battery.. You could try to replace it first..
Nope, it isn't the battery nor battery mapping. I've tried with another 3 batteries, and also using it's original battery in my other G1, but this particular one won't boot with any battery.
I've also tried wiping battery stats, both with RA recovery and ClockWorkMod. None worked :S
Hi all,
I am posting here after hours of research on my problem. Unfortunately I have not found anyone else posting similar issues so I decided to make a thread. *sigh*
okay so, I bought my samsung vibrant (t-mobile) from a seller on kijiji. He let me know ahead of time that the battery life "sucks" .
okay so, here is my problem. I have two batteries that were given to me when I purchased the phone.
1 standard samsung battery, and 1 generic ebay china battery. He told me he wasen't sure if the "china battery" worked.
okay so, the samsung battery did not last long at all, even with minimal use, ensuring that background applications were closed etc etc, I did my best to ensure optimal battery life as I had read so many tips and tricks on this forum many times over before.
But, I left my phone to charge one night, and the next day my phone wouldn't turn on, instead when I press the power button, a loading circle would display on the screen and it would show the battery charging screen when your phone is off, and it would flash on the screen for oh about 3 seconds then go black.
so I switched the battery to the ebay battery. it was working alright, I downloaded a battery application to monitor how much it was actually charging etc.
on the first day, the max power it seemed to charge would be about 68%.
by the second day it was around 45%
the third day, 23%, and now, today, my phone battery has died, I had it charging, and I managed to turn it on. I checked my battery application, and it said the battery was at 0% and it was attached to the adapter in an outlet charging but not holding the charge I guess. Well, I turned the phone off, and the same thing that happend with the previous battery is happening with this one, that loading circle thing, and the battery charging indicator flashes on for 3 seconds and no charge.
I purchased a new battery online, I am just waiting for it to arrive, but I am beginning to wonder if this is a problem with my phone or if it is a battery issue?
As of right now the phone wont turn on because of the "dead" battery.
any diagnostic help would be greatley appreciated.
it's most likely your battery. unless the usb is broken. have you ever connected your phone to your usb? the batteries the ebay gave you sounded like they needed to be replaced anyways. i suggest you go on amazon and get the anker 1800 mah battery.
Most likely you are going to need a new battery. If you know someone with a Vibrant or Captivate, maybe borrow their battery to see if your phone boots up with it. If you have a battery charger only, so that you can charge the battery outside of your phone and insert a fully charged battery, see if that works.
The Samsung advice they always give is to remove the battery and hold down the power button for about a minute. Then reinsert battery and try again. GL
My friend has the same problem with his Vibrant, his phone will charge to maybe 75% max. Except he has bought 3 different batteries (2 oem and 1 aftermarket) and they all have the same result. I've been trying to help him find a solution before he "breaks the damn thing" lol
I'm starting to think its a factory defect or something.
hello so I have enjoying my phone for about 2 years.:laugh::laugh::laugh: but I had this problem recently. When I try to charge my phone when its about 30% below, It doesn't charge. When I plug my phone, the battery says the phone is charging but the percentage doesn't count, I mean battery percentage still reduces even tho it is charging. When it drains, it shows a battery with a yellow triangle and wont open again.
Any help? Anything I can do about this??

Try a new/different battery. It sounds like yours is about to die
oh sorry, I forgot to mention that, I have bought a new battery. An Original one. I think I bought it about 3 weeks ago
If you bought your 'original' battery from eBay, the chances are that it's the exact opposite of original......
That aside, I'm thinking that it *could possibly* be the USB port on the device.....
If as you say, your device is over 2 years old, you've done well for the port to last that long......

I have bought a usb board on ebay too, about month ago because the port's solder is messed up and I got no clue fixing it. It works for about a month properly. But I just had this problem.
I saw some articles outside XDA, that I should remove the battery, wait 10 secs, then plug charger and immediately insert the battery and turn it on.
My phone finally works, and it charges properly. But I have to do it a lot of times just my phone to charge hahahah!
Thanks mate :--)
Lol...well done fella. ...I didn't do a lot though....it was you that found the fix.....
This issue will more than likely happen again, but at least you now know how to sort it.....
