Fried battery?

delsus · Jan 14, 2012

I was using a wifi tether on my phone running PCForce's CM7 and my phone restarted (it was connected to my PC via USB) and when it came back on it said "Charging 0%" and whenever I unplug it it switches off, never seen this before but it seems, to me, like the battery has been fried anyone think the same.

I also have a spare battery that works fine, which also tells me that it is some problem with the battery, and running a wifi tether can heat things up a bit which brought me to that conclusion.

Anyone wanna throw any ideas on if its possible to fix it, I am now using the battery that came with the phone but it has a crack near the contacts which doesn't fill me with confidence.

With mobile data and Wifi tethering enabled, my phone can get up to 52 degrees celsius in some cases without charging. I usually turn the phone off and take out the battery for a few minutes for it to cool down. I guess a temperature that high is caused by overclocking. I'm not sure if its damaging or not but I do prevent progression of operations in that temperature.

I also have a crack on the battery. Had it for a few months now and no problems so far

How 'cracked' is it?

Its only about half a centemeter long, and it only seems to be affecting the case, but got a replacement last year (was the repacement that got fried)

Havent tried it with andreas's advice yet but I will

I don't think the crack will be that much of a problem. If you want, you could take it to someone experienced just to be sure.

It shouldnt, but I like to be sure lol.

Also setting to 600MHz didn't help, guess i'm stuck with my stock one for now.

wow, good job. Yep, mine charges up to 100% before the crack. After that battery hardly charges up to 97-98%.

My battery cracked as well, but it has been dropped a few times...

It is a real shame because my previous LG phone was the LG Viewty and that was an amazingly well built phone. Cost ~£100 and came with an amazing camera and 3G front facing camera too. Shame it didn't have android. So I don't know why LG decided to go really cheap on the build qualities - you'd think having cracked batteries would have come up in their design tests but they probably didn't care...
