"1800 Mah" Battery doesn't stop charging - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i bought a " 1800 Mah " battery and it never stops charging even when it reaches 100% the charging sign stays on when plugged in. Anyway to stop this from happening ?

Yea got one of them.. for silly money.. so if its too cheap its often not worth bothering. On the one I bought it the capacity was crap to.

It's a kernel issue. No fix as of now.

This is not a cheap replacement battery without the proper charging circuitry problem?

Non-HTC Batteries have issues with the kernel. They cant communicate the attainment of 100% charge.

2700 mah battery with new back from Sprint (need a case)

Bought my new battery from my local Sprint store last Friday. It came with the new back. Does anyone know where to find cases for these? It is the same back that johnnychimpo has in his post.

Does it charge to 100%? also does it definitely give you longer life?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
As far as charging, I can't be positive, but it does show 100% on the battery app I downloaded. As far as better life, heck yeah!!! I tried my hardest to kill it today.what would have killed my stock battery, this one went 6 hours longer.

I dont use a case for mine. I have a body glove flip leather case for it with invisishield. Could you post some pics of the battery. Wondering if that sprint store is selling chinese batteries or if this one is oem or name branded. Thanks
You can buy a 2700 directly from Sprint now? Do you have a pic of it ?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I can get a pic tomorrow. I'm unsure why my Sprint store sells them, because I called 3 others near me, and my store is the only one that has them.

Did sprint give you instructions on how to charge it being that the phone can't properly charge it on its own? I find it interesting that sprint is selling extended batteries now because if they/HTC don't come up with a fix for the charging problem they are going to be getting a lot of calls!
Unfortunately, no. I'm probably gonna take it back tomorrow. I can't find a case??

Flashing notification light

Hi, when I play games or watch movies on my one x it sometimes start to flash red - green on the notification light.
I think it only happens when I have the charger plugged in. Anyone know what it is? And if its any help, I'm running leedroids Rom.

I was thinking this but I'm not too sure, I was wondering if the one x charger would have higher power output due to the beastlyness of the phone. I however never use it because it's short...use an old blackberry charger seems to take about the same amount of time to charge tho

No, its pretty much an industry standard that micro usb chargers run 1A @ 5v
If the charger is really old it could be 800mA but not likely, easy to check though, just check between the pins on the plug

oh so its not overheating?
It's definitely overheating. I was watching an hd movie using sw code and charging (I had about 20% battery, so it was taking the whole amp), and the light began flashing. I quit the mx player and saw battery widget reporting 49 degrees Celsius and battery status was 'overheating' I have to mention though that I had my phone placed onto a pillow, so no chance of dissipating the heat whatsoever. I presume the same happens when you play a game and hold your phone. My advice is just to wait a while for the battery to go up enough, so the charger begins the slow cycle - then you'll be charging with a few hundred mA and it will be easier for the phone to handle the extra heat.

Well when the led flashed like that for me I was playing shadowgun and the battery dropped a percent over the time I was playing with it charging the whole time, but like someone said above both will happen. The phone was hot for sure
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Well I used to have overheat problems as well but I fixed it by doing a hard reset. My phone doesn't overheat as it did before the reset and I can easily play games on the phone while charging. Even after a hard reset, my phone easily hits 43 degrees though. Just thought to share this with you guys.

Defective battery?

So I ordered a 1800mah battery for the epic. It fit and everything but literally while charging it and on browser on just data, the battery life decreases while on the charger. It also almost died at school today. On my 1500mah, I ended a 7 hour day with about 30-40%. On the 1800mah, I got down to 20 and below. If kind of makes me mad that I bought a bigger battery and out sucks. And what is a good 1800mah battery for the epic?

The battery from the Epic 4G Touch is your best bet. And as for it dying on the charger, it's the charger, not the phone or battery. I know this because it's happened to me. Try a different charger

Yes I ordered the Samsung epic 4g touch battery. And sadly it isn't my charger because I am using the same charger on my 1500mah battery and its charging fine.

Not always the charger.... When I'm on 4G and trying to use Google Maps even plugged in I drain my battery. If I shut GMaps down, it starts charging as per normal.
It was really frustrating when I first got the phone, as I was in the process of moving to Denver and knew where nothing was. Now, at least, I know the area well enough to just have it on at the start or end of trip.
The Anker samsung battery (search amazon for it .. ~$10 and 1800mah) has shown good results for me.

it is normal for the phone to consume more power than the charging pack can output....... you might not of had this problem because the 1500ma battery uses less energy than a 1800mah battery(hence the extra life..) if you charge with a USB 1A charger it should charge the new battery better. also, turn of 3g and watch your battery charge about 2times faster than with it on.

And yes it does perform better. I have 2 1800 mAh Anker batteries and there amazing I got a deal for 2x 1800mAh batteries and the charger from Anker. For 20$ on amazon don't listen to reviews they said the charger is bad but mine has performed well for several months and still is. I. Had gotten 4 days before on CM9 with minimal use and on regular basis I get 12 to 18 Hrs with 3 Hrs of screen on time

This is the one I ordered -- getting about 20 hrs of battery life vs. 12 hrs on my stock (2 year old) battery. Non-OEM batteries are typically a hit or miss, but amazon's return policy is dead simple and free, so IMO worth a shot.

Looks like it's broken, I had the same issues with my previous battery.
Yep, its dead. I had exactly the same... Got me a mugen power battery, and my phone is as new now it takes a week or 2 before u get it, but its well worth the wait and u get a 1600mah instead of the stock 1400mah, with the same dimensions. Not like the bigger, extended 3200mah battery, where you need a new back cover. Check it out

It is better as ur broken battery, dont worry. As for the 85% problem, i noticed that too. Phone at 5% batt with 3,7v remaining when it should shut down at 3,2v. But i use the nexus one batt calibrator's learn function to give my phone additional amps when needed, as long as i have enough voltage fcourse. That way i can use full potentional of the battery until i take the time to find a better solution to properly calibrate the mugen battery

Pristine way right? How that can be happening? Maybe you can use fast charge from google play, as sir arco make it compatible with his roms. But actually it is not necessary to do that as you plug in to wall socket. But you can give it a try.

No. That's battery calibration apps. This is fast charge app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.org.winters.android.gnfastcharge
Before connect to charger, open the app, give superuser permission then on it. The plug your charger. It should change to ac charge. Actually it function as if we want to charge it using usb and plug in at laptop, or maybe in car that have usb. So we don't need charger that can plug in the car. Give it a try. Cheers

Don´t belive in what some apps are you showing. Take a DMM and check the voltages yourself. Your charger should output 5V and your battery should have 4.2V when it´s fully charged and something between 3.0-3.6 when discharged.
Myabe your charger is dying or its the battery. Either way no software will fix this, nor whiping battery stats which Android is doing on each reboot, nor green Android ghosts.
First check the voltages and try an other charger. Secound if needed replace the battery against a new one because it may also be the battery which is dying where it´s internal resistance is growing and so reducing the charging current.
The max charging current should be around 0.7 x capacity as charging with higher currents will decrase its lifetime.
It´s not worth using FastCharge. Neither for the lifetime nor for the risk to get your battery exploded, as this is growing too with higher currents.
Currently cargers are dirt cheap. You can get one with 1Ampere output for around $3-4. A replacement battery costs about $10-20.

I recently bought a new battery, which ironically is $39 for a non-original battery, whereas the Samsung battery was charging $52... I think the cause is the charger, it has been relentlessly supporting me for one and a half years and I think its time to say goodbye to it.

Yes, I have had already a lot of chargers dying. Disassembled them all and they all are using the same circuit. They are made dirt cheap and it´s production costs will be about 50 cent. The only better quality circuit I came across was from a charger made by Sony. This one was even worth to be repaired but if it comes to the other cheap ones I´m just throwing them away and replacing with new ones.
Just wounder why the batteries are so expencive in your area.
