Dear Fellow Rezounders/ XDA'ers
I have a Rezound now running Clean ROM Pro 4.5 (excellent ROM BTW).
It charges overnight - but outside of that I cannot keep the battery charged even using a 5 volt 2.0 AMP Charger - it still looses power.
I am usually running hot spot and that may have something to do with that.
Now to the Question - does anyone have this problem? Is there an app that can check the voltage on my charger - or show if the batt is being charged or discharged based on rate of charging while being used?
Thanks
Battery Monitor Widget will tell you if it's charging/discharging and if it's also charging in AC or USB mode.
I use battery monitor widget
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw&hl=en
you can set the current mA drain on the widget data and get a quick glance of what's happening (it updates every minute or so) and you can see if it says AC charging or USB charging and the mA it's charging at.
when I wifi-tether on usb I typically can maintain the charge with a net 0 mA.
What battery Temp is considered hot?
Thanks for your responses. I am setting a battery temp limit - what should be considered hot.
What chargers are being used - I am using a standard 0.7 mA charger.
The one with 2 amp out was actually doing worse

It's because the phone recognizes it as a usb connection instead of an ac connection. My bionic would charge from at 1.5 amps from the 2.0 ah charger. None of my htc devices will. Still wouldn't trade back for a moto.

Hello i've having a small problem with my battery of my xperia x10. i'm putting the phone for charging and instead of increasing the charging % is decrease it but i dont know why. sometimes i'm leaving the phone for charging all night and when i'm waking up i saw that my battery is not fully charged. is this a rom problem or battery problem?
btw i'm having lock bootloader, stock kernel and this custom rom Achotjan_Stock_Remplacement_And_Firmware Update
thanks a lot
It is normal....battery heats up and then starts draining, just unplug it for 5mins and then replug...now it will charge normally...and dont put your phone on charging whole night...that may decrease battery life...
Try it !!!
because nowadays batteries don't charge all the time! They're intelligent, so they charge up to 100%, stop charching, its going down till 92-94% and then recharging up to 100%, and then stop again..... so thats why even if you let you're phone charge for 10h you might end up with a 92% charged phone!

yes but the problem if my battery is 10% and i put it for charge after few minutes is goes to 8% or is degrease instead of increase. why?

Bad usb cable? Or bad charger.
I have a usb cord that will charge my x10 but not Ion.
From market get 'current widget' app. With it you can read how much amps coming from charger. A usb charger should be about 400 ma, milli-amps or .4 amps.

Ok so that means the charger is working.
Did you notice the battery temp? compare the temps from before, during, and when it drops .
From 0% to 100% charge takes you how long? Should be 1-3 hours.
Leaning to bad battery as reason.

I have the same problem on x10 mini u20i.. I had in on stock, and now I have it on miniCM7-2.2.1.. I've been reading a bit, and I think it is a hardware issue..
My phone simply won't charge, if I plug it into a regular charger.. The phone will seem like it charges, but in reality the battery is draining (might even be draining faster than when is simply unplugged).
If I leave it charging through the night, the phone will be completely dead in the morning, and sometimes I have to leave the phone connected to my pc for hours, before it gains a little bit of juice and starts actually charging.
In fact the only way (I know of) to charge my phone, is to connect it to a pc with a USB cable, and even then I mostly have to connect the phone, disconnect it and the connect it again for the charging to initiate.
I read somewhere, that a guy was only able to charge his phone with the charger from the cigarette lighter in his car. He mentioned (from what I remember), that the cigarette lighter ran at 12V, but the normal cell phone chargers runs at 6V, and that causes problems for the x10 (mini). I have no idea if he is right though.. Does anybody know if this is a valid point or BS?
Anyway for a quick workaround, charge the phone from you PC

BS . 12 volts is the input volts for a car charger. All micro-USB chargers should run @ 5 volts and vary in amps. Your phone has smart charger built into kernel. The charger itself is just a power supply. Kernel controls the applied amps.

Yeah I kinda thought so.. I would think that it made no difference where the power came from, but my phone seems to disagree.. It simply does not charge, unless I plug the USB cable into a computer..
And it will only take seconds of googling to find out, that lots of people have this or similar problems..
Anyway, OP and others, the only answer I've found, is that the microUSB port easily gets dirty, and the right amount of wiggling with the cord or cleaning the microUSB port with a dry (!) toothbrush and a vacuum cleaner or air blower might help..

You'll probably need a new charger, but a generical USB charger is very, very cheap.
Before buying the new one, is useful testing your old device this way:
Please, try to charge your mobile using a computer. If you charge normally you've confirmed that your trouble is in the charger (since in that case your battery is OK and your USB cable and connectors are also OK).
But if you can't charge even in your computer, please do experiment another USB cable. If even so you can't charge, the culprit will be the battery or the USB connector (less probable).
I'm not sure if this is relevant but I had a simular issue like this but not all the time. Was a kernel issue, but before you jump into flashing a new kernel or rom, have you tried charging the phone after you've switched it off?

I had the same problem on my xperia x10 mini, when being charged it increases at first, after a few minutes the % decreases, What I did is I flashed a new kernel the nAa kernel for gingerbread and installed a custom rom, which is CM7 2.2, and voala!, I was surprised that its working again, I send the phone to sony ericsson support center and they said it had board damage, but what I think is that there was a proble on the kernel update to eclair or 2.1 that's why it happened, so just try flashing a new kernel using the flashtool, gud luck mate...

Install a 2.3 based rom mate this should remedy the problem
Requires unlock bootloader first if you have not done already

Check the AC charge Current in ur kernel settings maybe uve accidently set it below default. Ideally it has to be 1100 but 1300 works without any issues for me.
Charging speed will also vary upon Output current of ur charger. Stock sIII charger outputs 1A Which should charge your phone in approx 3hrs. Time will reduce considerably if u purchase a 2A charger.
A bad Battery or Corrupt Charger can also be the issue. So try to experiment with different chargers. also check if Battery is swollen( Happend In My case)
lastly Miscalibrated Battery will also show u improper readings so try to callibrate it with battery calibrator
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
Mostly it has to be Amongst Kernel Settings or FAULTY charger
Stock standard charge time multiple answers about 3 hours .
use usb cable from Nokia phone:good:
Hi guys . My phone is 20 days old.Today I suddenly noticed that it is charging slowly.So I downloaded "Ampere" apps.And it show current maximum to 450 ma and averege is 250-300 ma.So I replaced the cable with my friends lenevo cable.Then it shows 850-1050 ma.But somewhere I read that it should show minimum 1500ma.
And another problem I am facing with my mi charger.It is a disconnecting often.But the Ampere apps showing charging current after disconnecting.
Plz read my problem carefully and suggest me what I have to do.
And what charging current are u getting in " Ampere "apps.
I am eaxausted with this problem as I faced the same problem with redmi prime 2 and I sold that phone.But I don't want to sell RN4 as it is beast in performence and I love my phone.:crying::crying:
I am using miui global 8.5.8.0 with original mi charger.
It happened to me too, but my phone is over 6 months old, i checked in ampere it was showing only 300-400 mah.. So i changed the cable and it catches only upto 1100 mah, previously with mi cable it was showing around 1500-1600 mah.
I think u need to buy new cable which have high speed.
It changes all the time.
It always take two and half hours around.

Download ampere app from play store and check the input current if it more then 1200mA + then its fine it not then something is wrong. Try with different cable.
PS : I normally get 1500mA to 1800mA
Guys recently i just noticed my device charging slower tham usual with the stock charger as well as other qc 3 certified devices and it also dsnt show the quick charge logo in the notification drawer!!!
Iam in 9.6.25 global rom can any body confirm if its a rom issue or my specific issue

download amps app and check current rating feed to your phone, fast charge > 2500 mA, if lower, try change your charger.

After the update mine also shows 3hr's to charge and slowly charging. I brought the phone 10 days back and updated to this 9.6.25 a week and facing this problem.
Have no problem at all with Poco f1 Miui 9.6.25. Charging time is around 1hr 45 to 2 hrs if not mistaken.

Try to charge below 50% from current battery level.my stock charger rating 5V 2.5A..can get around 2.2A reading from app.
Its starts slower then it gets faster , from 10% to 100 % in under 2h , so its working properly.

Don't worry its just a software issue I just flashed the miui 10 beta Rom and now everything is fine it shows the QC logo also
Me too facing the issue. In the screenshot, charging at 18% and showing 920 mAh
Me too facing the same issue and i am on Miui 9.6.25 as well.
I just had a chance to check it, as I recently upgraded to 9.6.25. Well, no changes for me - there is QC icon next to the battery and Ampere shows current reaching 2900 mA.

Please check it out
You guys don't use the search function on the thread and just keep on making new threads about the same issue.
It has been well documented now that the charging slows due to thermal throttling. The hotter the phone the slower the charging. If anyone wants to test this, charge your phone for 5 mins before an air conditioner and measure the charging speed using the app called 'Amps'.
You should see the charging speed at around 2700-2800mah provided your phone temperature is quite low.
Otherwise, take a chilled watter bottle from your fridge and pour it generously on a towel. Now place your phone on that towel and charge you phone. As soon as the temperature starts falling to around 32-34 degree celsius, the charging speed will increase.
This is built in safety feature. The charging slows when the battery temperature is around 36-37 degree celsius as per my observations.
Cool you battery to around 30 degrees using any method you can and then check the charging speed.
Not your charger, not your cable...its mostly the charging algorithm with built in thermal thresholds which is at play here.
DO TELL ME YOUR TEST RESULTS.
I just found this thread - I have similar problem but it's rather not connected with temperature.
After one of software updates I discovered that quick charge is not working. Maybe it wasn't connected with update but this is how I see this.
I was waiting for software updates and hoping that they will fix my problem but nothing was changing.
Recently I decided that maybe factory reset will help, but unfortunately no.
After this reset I was checking many chargers and it appeared that with laptop charger (with USB C output) quick charge works! I was checking parameters in application 'ampere' and there is information that this charger is AC, and rest is USB. So it looks like QC works but....
Please help, how can I make quick charge works again via standard quick charge charger.

Iam in 11.0.5.0 global rom can any body confirm if its a rom issue or my specific issue
I want to clarify that my Poco on fully stock 11.05 charges as fast as any previous version of MIUI.
I take care of my battery. Charge till 80 and never let or go below 20.
If you can maintain the variables, and it still charges slow then you have issues with battery IC or the battery itself.
The highest I got without ceiling fan and without ac is 1590 mA. Maybe I got higher other times but I installed the app just for this post.
Don't rely on software reporting.
Do you have a multimeter?
Ambient temperature plays a HUGE role when it comes to battery, even if it's 1 degree more or less.
