Hi folks
Post no.1 so please be gentle:)

I have had my phone for a couple of days now and it seems that i have either a faulty handset or battery and wondered if any of you guys could help me find out which.
Basicaly,when i charge the battery either from the plug in charger or using the usb cable from my pc the progress bar only gets to about 86-87% no matter how long i have it on charge for.Then when i turn it off then on again it says the battery is at 100%:confused:.
Earlier i had it on charge for about 2 hours and when i checked it,it was at 87% so i turned it off then on again and it was 100%.
It has been like this since i got it and it is still the same after updating to latest ROM.
I'm hoping that its the battery so I can just get another one because I dont want to have to try and get another handset because most places are out of stock.

Any ideas?

Thanks

in some cases the batterie stops charging when its getting too hot (it will still display "Charging" but the Led isnt glowing anymore), but that wouldnt explain why its on 100% after a Soft Reset. Did you tried different Programs to view your Battery status?

Thanks for the reply

The only other program i have checked it on is the one that comes with the latest ROM(Batti) and this just says the same.

Even when the status is stuck(say at 85%)the lights in the circle are still indicating 'charging'.

Have you tried actually removing the battery for a minute and then replacing it?
