Hi guys,

i've just got yesterday a used wizard (almost new, used for a week), and i've made my second charge to it. I've found that when the charge reaches about 80%, it just stops charging, and every software reports 100% charge. I take of the USB cable, and reconnect, it, then, it begins to charge once again, and, one hour later (for example, at 85%), it stops again. I repeat the procedure, and same thing happens.

Is this normal?
On the first charge the battery only lasted me 24h (made about 1h of phone calls, and a few SMS, nothing more), and i found this quite few working time.

I'm using TNT 19199.1.0.0 on a G4 (2.17 IPL/SPL).

Thanks in advance..

That seems to me a faulty battery...

My second charge with the previous firmware lasted double that my last one (first time, 1 day, second time about 30h). Now, I've flashed the latest TNT Series on it, and it charged smoothly (100%). I don't know if it was a problem with the previous flash, or if was a problem with the battery itself (maybe because it was too long without any kind of use?).

Anyway, thanks. This seems to be a false alarm :)
