Hermes says it's charging when it's not

[hostedrage]

For the last few weeks, my herm has been randomly displaying the charging icon both in the tray area and s2u2, when it's actually running on battery. i've noticed the battery life has started shrinking a lot, going down to one day and a half tops, on 3g with a new battery. has anyone had this problem? could you please help? i've searched the forums and haven't found anything

Don't think I've seen this problem before. Typically folk will suggest a hard reset. You can try that although I'm not so sure it's a software issue.

I would check that all the battery connector contacts are clean and contacting the battery well. I would also ensure that the USB connector has no bent contacts or any contaminants in it. I suggest these things because it's almost as if the device is detecting falsely that a usb cable is inserted.

I'm pretty sure it's hardware related, because i've done hard-resets and rom changes, and the same thing happens. but usually it happens when the phone is in stand-by. when i turn it on, it says it's charging for a few seconds, then shows the battery as it should

Mmm that though just sounds like a bit of lag.

so that means it's not actually discharging my battery faster? thank you for your answers, Mike :)

mine does it too, its just a bug with the hardware i think. usually mine shows charging after i turn the screen back on then after 5 secs or so changes to normal battery indicator.
