[Q] Bad battery - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've been using HTC Desire for 6 months and I got this problem lately.
First, please have a look at the battery icon. What does it mean?

Second, during the day use, my phone just freeze for no reason. And when it's freeze, the screen is totally off and the notification light flash 1 green, 2 orange continuously. Then I have to take out the battery, plug it in and turn it on to use. It just happens so randomly.
Third, it happened just now. I played game till the battery gone and left it on the table and went to sleep. But when I woke up, plugin the USB charger (I forgot the main charge at work) and it didnt charge. I turned the phone on and saw the battery icon was like what appears on the screenshot above. I turn it off and on again, the battery became full magically
So what caused all those is the battery? And sometimes when I use the phone for a long time when the battery get hot, it's freeze like I described as well.
Anyone got in the same case as mine?

No one knows?

[Q] Extended Battery Readings

I could have sworn I've seen a thread for this but I just can't seem to find it.
Tried my best to search so I apologize if this is a repost.
So I've been on the extended battery for over a week now and must have gone through about 10 charge cycles so far.
Few days ago, I noticed my battery was at 15% and I was nowhere near a charger. I had the phone off for about an hour because I needed the remaining juice at a later time. Once I turned the phone back on, I noticed the phone was back UP at 25% remaining without ever charging it.
Thought it was a one time fluke so I didn't care much for it.
Today, I had a screen protector come in and since it was a wet apply, I turned the phone off at around 25%, left it off for about an hour an a half for the product to dry a bit then turned the phone back on.
This is the battery reading below:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I remember correctly, the reading went back up to about 31% after turning it on. (Don't mind the gap in mobile data reception.. I was in a plane during that time).
I've calibrated this battery once on the first cycle so I'm not sure why this would happen. Is this a known issue?
Currently on stock, unrooted 4.0.2.

Slow charging and heating

Despite this phone being just perfect in every other way, a couple of things​ about it is just frustrating the heck out of me. I don't know if it's just my device or if this is a normal thing, but my Pixel XL charges SUPER slowly. Taking about as long as an iPhone to reach 100% on low percentage and 40 minutes to an hour with 50% and above. My 6p charges faster than this using the same charger. Not only that, but my phone gets really warm when charging and slightly warm with general use. Does anyone else experience this?

I experienced just yesterday. Normally the phone charges about 1% every minute for me, but yesterday it was 1% every two minutes or something, got really annoyed, turned off the phone, charged normally! And yes, there was a little bit of heat too, nothing complaining worthy but it was there, but then again I use a full back case, which I will remove shortly. The phone/SoC has some thermal throttling surely, cause several times I noticed the phone's performance would drop down severely while charging.

Galaxy Nexus (toro) dead?

Yesterday, I tried to charge my Galaxy Nexus (toro), which was fully depleted. It showed the battery icon like it usually does, but then it went kinda weird (idk how to describe it, look at the picture). Then it would turn off and do the same thing again. So then I charged the battery using an external charger, but the phone did not do anything, like it didn't even vibrate. If I connect a charger to the phone, I can get into the Bootloader, and if I go to recovery mode, it starts for like a second, but then turns off again. If it helps, it's the SCH-i515, running Unlegacy 4.4.4, and TWRP 3.x (not sure of exact version).

EDIT: I plugged it into a laptop, and it booted up just fine, but the battery was at 0% even after being left in an external charger overnight.
Maybe the battery is dead dead... Like when a car battery has a dead cell. It works when you plug it in because there's a charge going through. Do you have any extra batteries lying around that you could test. Just remember that you are fighting a losing battle against time which degrades battery life.

Problem with Kernel/Proximity Sensor causes Battery Drain

Hi,
I have a problem with my G5S recently. I had already sent it to a service center because of this, but Moto's Partner for repairs in Germany is horribly incompetent, so it came back with the same issues still occuring.
I think the whole thing began with a restart by holding power for 10 seconds some weeks ago. Later that day I noticed the infrared sensor on the phone's back to glow permanently red, much brighter than normal. It is the one left to the camera. This is even the case if I power down the phone, only with 0 battery the sensor goes off until I recharge.
With this sensor bug comes a massive battery drain, the phone never seems to go into deep sleep mode, the battery stats in the settings show a ongoing bar under active time. I made some screenshots of GSam Battery Monitor, maybe someone can tell me how to stop the process which holds the device active. The phone has no root or any modification by the way.
Thanks!

Android 10 Update Bug Screen Flickering

Have a look at this ...
scary :laugh:
https://youtu.be/2K6OfvVCSus
My 835 did something similar the first "real" restart after Android 10 got installed, went on for ~20-25 seconds I would say, then I pressed the screen on/off button twice, all came back and I could unlock the SIM and continue ... hasn't happened since ... but was indeed scary
Marcher
I had the same problem too. Another reboot cleared it.
Didn't have this issue. But I noticed new battery settings and turned on the "protect battery" feature and now seemingly my sot has improved by a crazy amount I'm not sure if it's a bug.
The feature basically just makes it so your battery won't charge higher than 85%, and then when it says 100% after restart, it's the same as just 85% before. I can't post image for some reason, but I'm currently at 53 minutes of SoT and I'm still on 94%..

Got the same issue randomly (twice since Update), thought itˋs Hardware(GPU) Problem. Iˋm going to do a Clean Android10 Install if i have the time to.
