I just received my new exec and it's been on charge for 3 hours now and the charge light is still red?

The manual says it should be amber turning to green when full..(like my XDA2i)

I rang O2 cust service and they said 16 hours charge is minimum ... Ive no problem with that but would feel happier if I knew some others of you had the same thing happen...

Needless to say, when I press the power button, it doesn't fire up at all..

Anyone? :?:

TIA

Does not sound right to me - you should be able to use the device when connetced to the mains. My battery was 70% charged when I got my device so I used it until it was 20% and then I charged it for the first time for 7 hours (over night) and the battery had charged ("green" indicator).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bakerk:
Thanks for that...the red has now extinguished so I am in hope the amber will appear soon :?

In any case, looks like O2 won't treat it as a problem till i've had it on for the long charge so tomorrow I can progress it.

It's possible, of course, that this had no charge in it or the backup battery, when it arrived today (depends on if it's been lying around for a long time, we know it's come from the far east, so it's possible)

I'll update later with results.

thnx for your prompt reply
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bakerk:
OK Update:

No joy with charging.. got back to customer service who just said send it back and we will send you a replacement.. great problems with me being around for delivery etc make this a real pain.

I asked for the technical advice people and was put through to data team technical.

He had me trying to put it into bootloader mode etc but nothing.

I checked the battery and it's giving out 9.6 volts open circuit.

I checked the battery pins in the exec when the charger is in and ..yes 9.6 volts.

Conclusion dead machine.. so here we go with a trip to the post office tomorrow.. ho hum... i've sat and watched the thin on my desk all day and not even seen the screen lit.. :evil:

just like a chinese water torture LOL
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Bad luck mate - I hate it when stuff like that happens. :cry:

FYI: there's no backup battery. With persistent storage you don't need one; there's nothing to back up. All your data is stored in ROM so nothing gets lost if you take the battery out and leave it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anton.Valleyman:
Yeah, that's probably one of the best things about this phone...it's no longer a headache if you happen to have no battery left. Well, only as much as any other phone anyway.

I know you're supposed to leave any phone charging the first time as even though they're Li-Ion it still has a memory of sorts. After the XDA I stopped doing that, and the 2, 2i and Exec seem perfectly fine to me. Once it got to green each time, I consider that to be "the battery doesn't need charging any more" and I started using it.

I know you're also supposed to let it then discharge completely a good few times at first, but that's harder as how are you supposed to sync (other than via BT) and get your data? Good luck with the getting the replacement.

Bakerk, Are you charging via usb to a laptop or direct to the mains?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bakerk:
Hi Fluffy

I used the mains charger but also tried the usb one.. I confirmed charging voltage is getting to the battery so it's def the machine dead...I was so wound up I was tempted to see if it bounced earler today :twisted:

Anyway now it's all packed up and goes off to the post office when I get to work tomorrow.

Then it's just the old DHL lottery.. where will they deliver it? ..work as requested? or home as they did today... Ho hum....

One day i'll be sitting here with my exec all fired up and working and this will just be a dim memory.... :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Otto-Mate:

For the record how long should you charge it initially? I think I read 8 hours somewhere, doesn't seem to be anything on the PDF of the manual I downloaded.

Thanks

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Hope yours arrives safe and sound! :D

My manual says (page 17/Getting Started):

"

Charge the battery

New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you can use your device, you need to install and charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles. You can charge the battery by:

- Connecting your device directly to an external power source

- Plugging the device sync cable into the USB port on your PC

"

That's all it says. Hmm, I was sure it recommended an 8-hour conditioning charge... :roll: :oops:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
The Quick Start manual says you should charge for 8 hours. But I never follow these instructions - my battery was 70% charged when I received my Exec so decided to use it until it was really low on charge (20%) before I charged it overnight.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
Li-ion Polymer my battery is, im sure i read somewhere that these batteries dont go by the old rules, apparently they prefer contantly topping up after the initial charge , discharge, charge. something like that, its all so distant and vague,

i recall my battery dying the other week and when i plugged into mains all i had was a red led for about 10 mins, then went orange and device then powered up, sh*t my pants i did
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
I tested the theory with my Nokia 9500. I used two new batteries and with one I followed the manual and with the other I ran it down to 20% before charing. The one that I treated as if it were a NiCad did actually last 20 to 30% longer after the first three complete cycles. So and pratice and theory can differ.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bakerk:
As a matter of interest, I am going to break all the rules tomorrow and send the thing back by special delivery adding on the cost to insure it for it's full value.

Can you imagine the furore if it got lost after i followed their instructions and"popped it in the 1st class post".. Yes precisely.. I would have to whistle for a replacement.

Once all is done and dusted and I have a good machine, I shall proceed to seek back the cost of returning it..as a matter of principle.

Think about it, it's insured on it's way to you (By DHL) but not when you return it... crazy :shock:

Have you tried uninstalling bloatware from the roms you use, basically install titanium backup from playstore and remove apps you dont use, hence freeing up space, you must be rooted.

I haven't done that yet,I have titanium backup already installed so I will attempt that.

It looks that charging speed is weird on my N9005.

It often charge at 1200mA, but sometimes it goes to 450mA or 1900mA.

I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/...com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free&hl=fr to see that

The problem doesn't come from the app, the results are accurate because when it charges at 450mA I notice it is very slow

I am using the original charger with the original cable...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CorruptedSanity:
Coincidentally I'm charging my battery from 1% this evening.

1% 1,200

9% 1,200

48% 1,800 for a few seconds then back to 1,200

It took an hour to get to 50%.

That means it isn't charging at 1,200 as per the app galaxyCharging current lite.

If it were charging at 1,200, it'd have taken 1 hour 20 minutes.

It took an hour, therefore it's really charging at 1,600.

But when I plugged several chargers in, it showed the mah that's on each charger.

It showed 450mah for my one car charger.

580 for another charger.

800 for my wife's blackberry charger.

But still, at the reported 1,200, it'd have taken much more than a solid hour.

I came across a few times when the charging current only indicated about 900mA, then I turned off & on the charger, it changed to 1200mA.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonJohe:
The gist of this post is that (in brief and early testing) I've discovered that I can use a non-Samsung 2A charger to get fastest charging if I use the original charging cable. I can also get full current charging using a cheap USB2 micro cable if I use the original Samsung charger (USA, 117VAC, Verizon SM-900Verizon).

Details:

Having just moved up from the Galaxy Nexus to the Note 3, I was aware that the two data pins (pins 2 & 3, the middle two pins on the USB2 A connector) needed to be shorted on the GN to get the phone to recognize that the charger was non-USB. For my travelling I found and modified a USB splitter pigtail (USB A male to 2x USB A female) so that the two female ends had pins 2 - 3 shorted. Using the GN's Android battery status I could see it move to AC charging instead of just USB.

Now, with the Note 3 having a USB 3 connection, I wasn't certain what was happening. It seemed that every configuration activated the AC charging indication except a cable with data pins not shorted. But I was trying various chargers; the original Samsung (2A), an off-brand 2.1 A and an off brand 1A, and I was using them in combination with the original USB3 cable, the shorted pigtail and a simple USB A to micro cable.

So after finding this thread I went looking for an app that could tell me the real charging status. I installed the "Galaxy Charging Current Lite" listed above and started testing with different combinations.

The maximum charging rate I ever saw was 1200. I'm wondering of course about the accuracy of this number; my phone was at 93% when I started testing, and I didn't leave it on long enough for it to do any checking so maybe a long-term test from full to empty and back would yield different numbers.

The 1200 appeared on the original charger and cable, the original cable with a no-name 2 A charger, and the original charger with a standard USB2 micro cable and 2A charger. As long as one of the two original charger components were in the circuit, the 1200 appeared - even when using a charger rated at 1A.

Using the cable with the shorted data pins returned either 600, 650 or 700.

Using a normal USB2 micro cable without shorted data pins in any charger but the original one resulted in a 450.

I also tested a Rocketfish charger purchased at Best Buy (apparently Model: RF-ACF2MS SKU: 9741756). This again gives the 1200 number but this wall wart charger is so fat that it will interfere with (though not quite block) the adjacent outlets on most power outlet strips or wall plates.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KashifA:
So I'm getting a constant 1800 mah charge now. I have a power pack that has a 2.1amp USB power socket so I connect the phone the plug it into the power pack and plug in the power pack and it seems to work everytime. Went from 80 to 90 percent in a matter of minutes. I think it's looking for a constant minimum current that can be supplied and uses that as the charge rate. Hope that helps some of you

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KashifA:
Galaxy charge current app... I not sure how accurate the charge ratings are, but compared to straight wall plugging it is faster. One side note, if the battery power pack falls below 80% then the charge goes back to 1200

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicahJamesNRCAL:
I was stuck at 450 as well but finally solved my issue.

It was either of these two conditions:

#1) I was running a space heater in the same outlet as the charger so the heater was drawing a lot, maybe that was making it slow down (its an old house, terrible wiring)

#2) (the more likely suspect) when i examined the OEM charger cable where it meets the outlet, I noticed it was in 90% and didnt get the "click" you get from fully inserting the usb cable to the charger. Maybe check your connections @ the charger and ensure they are clean and free

Good luck

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] davie2000:
Hi!

I have a Xperia X10 Mini Pro (U20) with Stock Firmware (after recovery with "UpdateService" from SE).

I have installed CWM successfully with "CWMInstaller - Windows - v5".

When I try to install "MiniCM7-2.2.1-mimmi" (or 2.2.2) it says that I need a nAA-Kernel but successfully installs CM7.

When I do a reboot CWM says that "recovery is bad and has to be renewed". After that all I get is the white "Sony Ericsson" lettering (again with the option to start CWM when pressing the back button several times).

So I tried to follow this "Bootloader and kernel guide" and unlock my bootloader first using Flashtool. But when the phone restarts it "hangs" on the white "Sony Ericsson" lettering. When I try again, Flashtool tells me that it is not possible to unlock this bootloader.

My phone is produced 10W42 - could it really be that the ancient stock firmware is the only one which works?

All I want is a more modern and fast (lightweight) android version to use my old phone furthermore.

Thanks in advance for your advice and help!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
When you install CWM it is installed in the system part of the ROM. When you installed MiniCM7 it got wiped out, because MiniCM7 is for the nAa-kernel, and in that kernel CWM is built in. Which means it doesn't need to be in the MiniCM7 ROM. That's why you lost it.

And ofcourse it 'hangs' on the white SE lettering, because the ROM you installed does not work with the Sony Ericsson kernel.

You say you unlocked the bootloader, so why don't you flash the nAa-kernel?

Prepare flashtool to flash it, then attach the usb-cable and press home- and back-buttons together to force a restart. If the bootloader unlock was successful the flash will get through and after that, you'll have CWM back and you will continue to boot into the ROM too.

And be very careful not to flash the x10blrelock.ftf by accident, it will definitely break your phone. Best is to remove that from the flashtool/firmwares folder before you proceed.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] davie2000:
Thanks for your answer, SmG67.

The problem is, that I have _tried_ to unlock the bootloader, but it did not finish. The "s1tool" still shows a capital R in the version ("RUNNING S1_EROM VER 'R8A029'") which means "not unlocked".

I also tried to install the kernel "U20_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.ftf" but this does not work as the bootloader is locked.

So can you give me a tip, how I could move on?
