Hey Guys, I have been seeking technical assistance for this weird battery issue I have and no one can really seem to figure it out. I thought I would ask over here, I'm going to copy and paste the relevant parts from previous threads on other forums. Thank you for looking!
If my phone dies, the battery will not charge no matter how long I keep it plugged in. The solid green light goes on but the phone will not charge. I've taken it to Verizon 3x now, and they keep telling my my battery is bad, and they replace the battery. The phone immediately works with a new battery.
BUT if I put my old battery into someone else's droid, the battery will charge as normal. As you can see, its a difficult problem to figure out because the battery is fine, my charger is fine. This ONLY happens when the battery runs dead. So I have to "jump start" it using someone else's phone, then I can charge again.
Obviously the best solution is to keep it charged all the time, and never let it die, or keep a spare battery. But that's not always possible.
I've been having this problem for weeks now (since I switched to Gingerbread IIRC.) I am on .595, NOT the OTA.
UPDATE:
So I thought it was maybe due to the leaked GB (.595) that I had been using, or the rom, (Apex 2.0) or something to do with the battery stats issue, or any combination of the above.
I finally flashed over to a new rom, SSX, using the "prep patch." I wiped and cleared everything multiple times as per the instructions, installed the rom and the other update patches, aaaaaand...
Problem still exists. This sucks. I'm going on a 2 week trip where I will have limited access to power outlets so I'm really going to try and get this fixed asap.
My next step is to do a complete SBF to vanilla froyo, and see if it still has the issue. If it does then, well, hopefully Verizon will replace the phone because this issue is ridiculous.
