[Q] HTC Magic - Generic battery issues

---

Hey everyone,

I purchased a generic HTC Magic battery and placed it in my Magic.

Couple issues happening.

When I boot it up, there's no orange charging light at the top to signify that it's charging.

Also in the battery status indicator at the top bar, it shows a question mark inside the status.

Does this mean that it is defective or the phone just doesn't recognize it? The phone seems to be working on the battery, I just have no clue if it's charged high or not.

Thanks

It means the battery is not 100% compatible. And also maybe fake. U might just got scanned

sent from myTouch 3g 1.2 using XDA app

yes, i agree, not full compatible

congratulations

Fake/Duplicate battery

May be the battery you bought is a cheap replica or counterfeit. Try charging it via the AC adapter. I once got a similar one from a Chinese online-shop. Once i charged it to full capacity using the AC adapter, the issue was solved. Minus the charging from USB in a PC. However my Car's Audio System is capable of charging my Phone, via the USB port.

May be there is some difference in current or voltage supplied for charging...
