[Q] Battery not charging

---

It's a 3500mAh extended battery.

I put it on the charger and it doesn't charge, the charging light just flashes and battery monitor widget just shows it discharge until it hits zero and then it charges up to 100% really fast (but it doesn't get a good charge, since reading feeds for 30 min took it down to 60%)

Last time I fixed this by bump charging with the phone off and then it lasted for a week or so pretty good.

Well it did it again last night, so I tried bump charging and resetting battery stats. After reboot it fell to 85% pretty fast.

Another odd thing it's done is it will be at like 65% and then after a reboot it will sit at 1% for the rest of the day until the battery dies. Pulling the battery out and putting it back in fixes this.

Is this just a crappy battery or is something up with the phone's charging circuits?

What rom/kernel are you on?

I have the 3500 battery, too, and I'll go from 100% to 90% pretty quickly. Calibrated twice, too. I figure that's just an issue with the nonlinear (or at least different voltage curve trends from 100%-0%) voltage output of the extended battery.

ACS 1.1.0 don't know if that's related though.

What worries me more is the not charging issue.

Have you tried calibrating it and clearing your batt stats in CWM?

Do you BONSAI?

Tried clearing batt stats a couple times... Now when the phone restarts, it thinks that the % is really low even for the STOCK battery...

Been sitting at 16% for 3 hours with use. (was 55% before reboot)

What were the conditions when you cleared the stats? You need to either fully charge the battery on and external charger or when the phone is off. Then boot into CWM and clear the stats.
