new battery showing unknown any ideas ?? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi all i bought myself a new battery nexxus 3.7v 800mah from ebay
1st 2 days the battery came up as it would normally and it charges ok, today its showing unknown and the charging light doestn show up ??
not a problem if the unit is charging up i can live with that as its onyl a spare for my golf gps as the battery doesnt last more than 14 holes so for last 4-5 the new one is fine
is there a cure at all?? seems to be working fine other than not showing up
any help always appreciated

I had the issue with a new replacement from EBAY vendor. I returned it. It would not show a valid percentage - it charged but for 10. I expect a bit more
rac

yeah mine was a cheap 800mah just for lasting about 2hrs
it charged for 2 days then bang zippo, is there nothing you can do ?

Tilt Battery Issue

I have OEM battery and it was working great for last year and half. Now a days when I put it in charging it charges the battery but my screen does not show it correct percentage it is chaged for.
If I put this battery in my wife's phone it show it is charged 100%, if I put 100% charged battery from my wife's phone in my phone it show 67%.
If I put it to charge via my phone I get led showing correctly that it is charging, even in battery status show it is charging.
Issue is it is not showing correct percentage (I think) what my be issue battery, phone , rom.....?
Old battery!!!

Try cleaning the contacts on your phone.
they are as brighte as silver
they are as bright as silver but issue continue.
So this is normal?

Does a year and a half make this OEM old? My OEM Tilt battery, also 1 1/2 years old, just started giving me only about an hour of talk time from a full charge. So this is not unusual? It's annoying as h*ll, that's for sure.
I've seen the same issues between my Tilt and my wife's Tilt (actually my wife replaced her Tilt with an iPhone), so I should say between my first Tilt and my second Tilt.
The problem happens once every two months or so. I usually put the battery in the phone that shows the higher battery life and let it drain down to zero over the next few days. This has solved the problem for me so far.
If he is using a different battery in the same phone, and getting the same result, I would say its not the battery.
I'm having a similar issue, where after a full charge the phone works fine for awhile, then shuts off if i use the web browser or gps for more than a minute. After I turn it back on(and if it lets me) my battery reads only about 5%. I thought it might be the battery but even though I bought a new battery, I still have the same problems.
I've even reflashed to a new rom to try and correct the problem, but without luck.
I think maybe a year or so is about the life span for this phone. Or maybe a few escaped quality control, and we just happen to be the lucky ones.
I had a similar issue with my kaiser, then it started not charging the battery intermittently which meant id constantly wake up with a dead phone in the morning after an allnight charge.
Then it stopped charging altogether, HTC sent me a new battery which did exactly the same.
So i sent it off and it turned out to be a motherboard issue with the charging circuit.
Hope that helps
full overnight charge only charge to 70%
when i put battery for full overnight, it charge only charge to 70%. I will give it a try to drain to 0% and then see what happens. I am sure this is issue with phone and nothing to do with battery but still can not solved the problem. Can not send to HTC as warrenty already passed.

[Q] Strange Battery Life (2.5 day)

The other day I went and bought a USB micro cable for my phone, which was different from the original one provided in my phone's package.
I never used it to charge my phone's battery until 2 days ago, which in the morning I attached the cable to my AC Adapter charger and started charging my battery, that charged in an hour or so. I got somehow surprised because of the speed but I thought maybe I got carried away by work.
The amazing thing is it's been 2.5 days from then and my phone still has something around 15% battery charge on it.
Did anyone here ever charge the phone with any cable other than the one shipped in the package ? Or maybe come accross something like this ? Is it going to ruin my battery ?
I had a similar situation a few months back when my battery was out of juice for about 4 or 5 hours (it ran out in the afternoon and i couldn't charge until much later on that night). After I charged it over night i got about 2 days out of mine too.
Wp7 probably still lacks a consistent and accurate way of telling battery life, so the phone may show it is fully charged when it is not.
Ones i charge the phone 100% i then browse my photos and broawse apps... and suddently my battery is half empty in under 2 hours time... its strange. because im not playing games with it.
I can strech my batter put over 30 hours, but that with turning everything off, It would be interesting to know how you use it, and what you have installed and turned on or off.
I have 2 or 3 days battery life when the phone is on airplane mode. But less than 1 day with regular usage.
the problem is Radio in my opinion.

[Q] HTC Diamond p3700 not charging to 100%

Hy there
I've been member on this forum for some time now , really like the stuff you can find here and learn about things....
ok the reason i started a thread is because I've searched the Net for 2 days for a reason , or something that would explain why my diamond won't display a solid white light on a full charge ..
i've bought it second hand and the battery was pretty much wasted (lasted only for 6 hours (without any use at all maybe 10 min max of talking) it charged to 99% most off the time sometimes it would stop at 75% or 82% ....
(even after a whole night of charging)
no problem , I've replaced the battery and it still shows me 99% on a full charge (even after 4 hours or a whole night of charging) , I've never seen a solid white light since i have the phone or a battery that is at 100%
I hope that some people out there, have some suggestions or possibly know why this is happening, and are willing to say a few words to help me
ThanX
Same here
I have the exactly same problem.
When I put the phone to charge overnight (8hrs) in the morning it has reach 66-74% top. Interesting, but "tbattery.exe" shows 4.18V. When at this moment I restart the Diamond it shows 100% charge at the battery... I tried 2 batteries, 2 different chargers and 2 cables (one OEM, and one mini-USB). I looked at google, but no luck. Any ideas?
BTW the phone connects via active sync and syncs normaly.
Regards!
achieving 100% charge
try
- turning off phone before charging
- reset phone before charging
I have a similar problem and for this reason am unwilling to leaving phone charging overnight - my previous battery swelled up probably due to a combination of old age and overcharging
I now employ a series of "top-up" charges during the day

Magnetic connector broken and slowly loading via USB (3-6%/h) after battery replaceme

Hi Guys,
while I was in my warranty (1 month before it runned out) my battery was broken. Fast unloading and %-jumpings. So I sended it to the Sony-support and they replaced my battery. Plus they fixed the Power-Button and some new antennas and a new backside. So far so good.
When my warranty runned out, 6 days after my headset connector notified me 4-5 times a day, that the headset is not supported - but there was no headset in use. After a week the problem was gone and never occured again. My headset is working just fine.
Several days after the headset occurence, my magnetic charger didn't work. It rapidly switched from charging to uncharging (2times / second).
When I changed to normal USB-loading the z1c was charged a bit (checked it with battery monitor widget) or didn't even charge at all.
A week later the battery charged with normal speed - 1 time for 15-20min. Because of that I checked the magnetic charger again and it didn't work.
Now my z1c is charging with 3-6% per hour on normal USB and I don't know what to do.
Can you give me a hint what the problem could be? What needs to be replaced to handle the problem?
My warranty runned out 6 weeks ago and I'm stuck with these problems since 4 weeks.
After the battery replacement the battery worked fine, the phone fell on the floor or anything, no new apps, nothing I can connect to the problem.
Yes I changed the charger, I tried multiple cables. Nothing solved my problem.
I'm very happy with my z1c. It is in a very good condition and I don't have the need to get new phone, especially because there is nothing similiar on the market.
Thanks

Anyone??
