Tilt Battery Issue - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

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!!!

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.

Diamond battery dead?

I have a very strange matter with my battery. Normally i takes more then a day before the battery runs out of power. But last night it suddenly told me my battery was empty so i charged him and took him off on 11:00pm yesterday.
And suddenly at 1:45am it told me again that my battery was empty while i didnt used him in the mean while. So i charged him again and waited untill he was 100%. After 5 minutes my battery drained to 90%!! And i didn't even do something.
Is my battery dead? I use the 137.405.1 WWE rom. Any change of better batterylife with another rom?
I have the exact problem with you. Later bring down my set to HTC for a one-to-one exchange.
Seems like a common problem.
I sent my brand new one back after 1 day of use. From full charge the battery lasted an hour and a half.
There seems to be a difference in charging with original cable and another brand cable. When i charge him with the original one, my battery is stable, but when i charge him with a Sony usb cable and my computer the battery drains like hell.
Maybe people wanna check this out?

Hi Yzord, ook hier?
I'm using the original cable to charge my TD. The battery drained twice (same day, early in the morning and during the night) from almost fully charged to completely empty.
I've just charged my device @work, and everything seems fine now... don't get it.
However, I don't think it is a faulty battery. It seems more logical to assume that it is buggy software. Maybe the battery indicator registers the battery as 'full', while in reality it is completely empty. This would explain a sudden drain without the TD getting hot from a 'draining program' in the background.
I also suspect some software issues. think i'm gonna try another rom then.
Normally I automatically set the schedule (schema in Dutch) for Autosync to "manually". After my ROM update a few days ago I did not change these settings. Standard they are on: "When a new item is available" and "Every 60 minutes" (translations might be a bit off, but you know what I mean).
Maybe my phone was trying to fetch items of a non-available network connection, which might have depleted the battery during the night. To find out if this complies with other people having the same problem:
Could everyone who had this problem check their ActiveSync settings??
Let me and everyone interested now

Dead Battery or Hardware?

Recently my ATT Tilt was working great until I charged it overnight once. Before i charged it i flashed it, maybe thats why it stopped working. I charge it all night and then wake up and still have an orange light not green. Then today i tried to jumpstart my battery and then i woke up the light was green. I was excited but when i turned it on it said low battery then shut off.
idk what it is battery or hardware.
and i think my warranty is out! "/
Can someone plz help me out.
Quality control was out of the building at HTC when they built the Tilt!!! Same problem

Damn Kaiser. Same problem. Will come on when the cable is connected to the laptop or when I connect the charger. Is this the same problem.
im having similar problems, get a multimeter and test the voltage on the battery before and after charging to see if the battery is the culprit.
maybe even try jump starting the battery and seeing if the voltage changes... my battery wont even hold a 1% charge
wow, 4 different people at the same time. I say try running the phone while it is connected to a power source (charger, computer). If it works fine there, I'd say order a new battery if you want to use it still. I just order a new battery for mine for about 15 bucks. Mine is not at the point yours is. My battery is good for about half a day or maybe 2 hours of a phone conversation and its toast. In standby with every thing turned low, it can go for a while but if I use it, it drains fast.
Good luck, and please update us on your status.
I just posted a similar problem I had with a friends Kaiser
My friends Kaiser is no longer charging properly and I have not been able to ascertain the problem.
When plugged in the Orange LED light comes on as normal and the phones says charging under power(settings), however the power levels continue to fall.
I have tried charging with AC charger as well as USB and used two different batteries that I confirmed working in my Kaiser.
the USB socket looks to be in perfect shape and I have cleaned all contacts. I am at a loss just hoping some one can shed some light​
The main thought I have (not really helpful though) is that I have my kaiser to test with and both batteries are fine the phone simply wont charge them.

Replacement battery issues

Hi,
Just purchase 2 HTC HD2 replacement batteries from ebay (Non original)
and facing a problem in charging both of them.
When I power up the phone it shows 80%, but when charger is connected,
it does not show the charging icon and the notification LED keeps blinking between amber and green.
Any one got any idea? Both the batteries defective?
I use a meter to measure the batteries, one got 4v the other 4.02v.
Seems ok but just cannot charge inside the phone.
Help and advise needed. Thank you.
Got the same issue here. They will charge up to 68% then stop.
Have to turn off phone and plug in again to charge the final bit - OR - take them out and put in caddy charger.
Battery replacement charging problem
I also have the same problem but this issue happen only if you use the device while charging the battery. If the issue occur try turn off the screen (not power off) and wait around 3-5 mintues then it continue charging the battery without any problem. The problem is occur only if we use the power too much such as Telephone call, Wifi, GPS then it back to blink green and amber again and again. Howerver I found out that sometime after soft reset the battery report it have been charge during green and amber blinking (in my case I upload youtube of 120MB and take quite a long time around 2-3 hours the battery indicate 6% and not increased until I softreset them then become 72%)
Howerver, this is almost not acceptable since it should be charged normally in any condition.

Do you guys think this is due to "low quality" batteries that could not be charge properly in the phone. Can only be charged using cradle....??????
same issue here, except mine will go amber/green regardless of power % left.
I have seen mine doing amber/geen even when it'[email protected] 10% with screen off.
That would all seem to point at the phone drawing more power than can be put in the battery at the same time.
I reported it to the ebay seller in anycase, who says he will contact the factory.
cheap ebay batteries causing problems?
My cheap battery does the same if I use cheap craddle that came with it. However if I use original charger and stock cable it is all fine.
Oh yes and original battery used in cradle does the same orange/green.
However in any case living it for 3-4 minutes starts charging process.
When it's charged up fully it's def a massive improvement on the original though. I can get almost 50 hours out of it now, the original one I had only got 24 at a push

Yes - BUT - mine came with a 750mA, and I think you guys will have a 1230 right?

[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.

battery acting weird

hey everyone my sister has a milestone and she is having trouble with the phone battery. she says that she fully changes the phone and then at any point, the phone shows the sign that the battery is discharged and then reboots... then the battery shows the charge again, I tried moving from stock to cyanogen which took the problem away for some days but today it happened again. what can it be help!
hmm. i dunno. anyone?
the weird thing is that she just got it back from warranty... the screen was not working
Sounds like a battery problem. I once had my phone show 1% battery-level for like 7 hours (!) before it shut down. Some other time it would show 100% even though it just had been charged for minutes (starting at 5%). I fixed both issues by recalibrating the battery (search the forum, there's lots of info, most OR even have a script for that). I also leave the phone connected to the charger a couple of hours longer even after it says it's fully charged.
But if the phone actually reboots even though the battery has been fully charged, it really sounds like a hardware problem.
try a new battery
Before buying new batteries, just try calibration.
For me, the mentioned case of shutting down with a so-called empty battery was happening only with a stock 2.1.
Since then this issue never occurred again. So a faulty battery is not necessarily the first answer.
