deja vu

there is no solution for this.

the only way is to take it to asus ,because it the batterie problem(they will replace the batterie with new one if you have garentie).

i have asus p525 since 12.12.2006 and since 2 weeks i got the same problem ,batterie level stuck at 82% .i tried everything ,update the new firmware,hard,soft reset,even let the batterie die till 0% then charge again. but nothing helps.

i had another extra batterie so i put it in and everything work normal (so its for sure the batterie).

or buy new batterie or send it to asus.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] shabbirali:
Thanx for the quick reply...but as i stated I am not able to find the new battery here in Mumbai, India...so was thinking if some tweak can help me...

Will search for battery...

Anyone else faced the same problem...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] User22:
You can buy it from ebay like i did.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sx1-doc:
almost everyone have the asus p525 have the problem with the shipped battery.

i used to read the forum and say :i am lucky that my batterie is ok,until 2 weeks ago.(i knew thats coming at me).

anyway no tweak or program will help you m8.

don´t break your head searching for solution,i allready been searching and reading forums about pda`s and phone since 2 years ,and this problem is batterie hardware problem.

SO you have to live with your batterie 72% all the time ,till the phone dies.

or go search for other batterie.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] shabbirali:
Thanx.. for a good piece of advice.. I will search it in ebay if they can send a good battery....

It's a well known problem for P525 battery. My first one stuck at 100% after 9 month of use. I am using the 2nd one (free when I brought my P525) which doesn't have this problem

sx1-doc, what 4G mini-SD are you using for yr P525? I thought the max that P525 support is only 2G.

the 4 gb mini sd i bought on ebay normal mini sd (not hcsd).

i had some problems with it before couple of months (i thought it was corrupted ) but it works like a charm since 2 months.

some screenchots.

p.s(the batterie is the old batterie that stuck on 82% in pic 2,i use it one day full use, then i charge )

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Battery Level Indicator freezing problem is solved.

Dismount the battery by removing black film from both sides. Heat the "positive" contact attached to the controller by the copper (I mean soldering-iron) and lift it up.

You will see the elements on a plate. (See the picture attached in zip)

The red-marked place is empty. You are to put a capacitor there (any kind - for example 20-100 nF). I took the first one I found on the dead battery controller from MPx200.

That's it!

Solder the positive bus back to controller. Mount the battery (you should use some new tape to cover the body of a battery).

Enjoy.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] shabbirali:
Thanks Andrew,

But it seems to be a risk to do that..any suggestions.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ingvarr:
There is another solution that does not require you to disassemble the battery, though you must be very careful and thorough with it.

Battery should be at moderate charge. Obviously you can not see the real charge value, but you can estimate it (ie do a full charge, and the use PDA for about half a time it normally lasts).

Then remove the battery from the PDA.

You will need a good external DC (not AC!!!) power supply that can provide about 12V DC at about 500-1000mA current (be sure - no more then 1000mA!). Slightly more or less voltage is fine. I myself did it with 15V 1000mA supply.

Connect power supply - to the battery - contact. Briefly connect power supply + to the battery + contact for about 2-3 seconds.

Connect power supply - to the battery + contact. BRIEFLY connect power supply + to the battery - contact (reverse polarity). MAKE SURE YOU WONT LEAVE IT CONNECTED FOR MORE THEN ABOUT 2 (two) SECONDS!. Sparks are normal, just dont connect it for long.

After that you can replace battery in the PDA. Indicator will show last "stuck" value, but dont be upset - it will not be stuck anymore. Start with full discharge immediately - you will see it will go down now.

Make sure you do full discharge first!

(Due to the battery "remembering" the initial stuck value instead of current true charge, if you will start charging it first, you may hit the situation when battery hits full charge voltage and overcharge switch kicks in before estimated capacity will be truly at 100%, and it can prevent you from reaching reported 100% forever.)

After full discharge, do a full recharge immediately (better with ASUS power supply, not via USB), and after that you should have fully functional & calibrated battery again.

I have just tried it myself on my stuck battery (ver. 1.2) and confirm that it works. At least 3 persons from asusmobile.ru confirmed that it works too. Just be sure you use the right external power supply and dont connect it for long.

Thanks to the GlazkovD from asusmobile.ru for providing this solution.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ingvarr:
Btw, if you wonder about source of the problem, it seems to be not the "hung battery controller" contrary to the popular beleif, though the cause of the problem is truly the battery hardware. Hung battery controller results in "unknown charge" error on the PDA, and failure even to obtain the version of the battery (because all these values can not be reported by the frozen battery controller via the SMBus or whatever they do use).

This one is almost positive the voltage monitor/ADC entering the saturated state. So it stops reporting the current battery voltage to the controller - effectively preventing the capacity estimation algorithm from working (but controller is not frozen, it works, it just can not compute the charge anymore so its left at last known value).

Obviously this is a hardware design problem and its 100% can not be solved via any software patch or solution.

The saturated voltage monitoring circuit can be "unstuck" by several ways, thats why people reported various solutions:

- by disassembling the battery and briefly shortening the contacts AndrewSh outlined. Via resistor or capacitor, basically the same. Hovewer, I would not recommend to permanently solder anything there - most likely it will cause monitor circuit to slightly shift the reported voltages (since ver. 1.2 battery firmware was not designed with capacitor in mind) and may cause the improper LiIon cell handling (ie it will report 3.4V when true voltage is 3.2V - may cause a problems on the long run or reduced capacity).

- by disconnecting the LiIon cell from controller board for some time - this removes all power from it and effectively resets the monitoring circuit. Also can be achieved by briefly shortening the cell contacts (via a resistor only, to limit the current!!). Again, this mentions cell contacts, that you see only if you disassemble the battery package, not the external gold-plated contacts. Shortening the external gold-plated contacts will achieve nothing in most cases.

- by the "external shock therapy" outlined in the previous post. Slight and brief overvoltages/overcurrents are not enough to actually fry anything, but enough to kick the voltage monitoring circuit from its saturated state.

- also in some cases voltage monitor circuit can leave its saturated state on itself with time or with any other slight unpredictable stimulus. hovewer in most cases this wont happen.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndrewSh:
Ingvarr way to fix that does not really matter. Additional capacitors or "shock-therapy" both work pretty well.

We discovered (see wce.by) already that some ver 1.2 controllers contain that capacitor. But have minor changes in chip types and versions. So sometimes is necessary to remove the existing capacitor depending on the controller type.

Anyway - one of mine works pretty well since April (with the capacitor mounted) without any issues (overheating, wrong charge level reports, reduced battery life and so on)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ingvarr:
Actually it was never proven that capacitor is needed - only original circuit designers actually know that, and they are not talking :). As you surely seen yourself, capacitor-containing boards are of slightly different design (that maybe actually takes capacitor into account). However both designs still subject to same issue - very slight chance that it will freeze the monitoring, with capacitor or not.

To solder the capacitor, you need to detach the battery from controller board - simply doing that and waiting for some time will already cause voltage monitor to reset and un-stuck (even if you will not solder the capacitor and not touch anything else and just solder the battery back).

Since this issue may not appear for many months even on "wrong" hardware, its very hard to say for certain wheither capacitor actually helps or not, or wheither the issue will ever appear on modified hardware again or not.

IMO its easier not to bother and just reset it with external PSU. Most likely it won't reappear in a months anyway, if reappear at all. I would advise against doing permanent hardware changes on the blind, when you dont exactly know what purpose they serve. Just to be on the safe side ;) But its up to the personal preferences I guess :)

shock treatment is working perfectly

Dear All,

First of all thanks to Ingvarr and GlazkovD for the solution, I checked it and perfectly working . I used old alcatel mobile charger with 12v 500mA

thanks once again
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pedro_PVO:
Outstanding !!

This solution really worked on my battery. Mine was stucked at 100%. I used a 12V 500mah charger for this.

After the "electric chair" treatment the battery is working like new. Actually, I have the phone in use for two days with no need of recharge at all.

Thanks a lot !! :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harryspar:
I've got an XT1045 running stock 4.4.4, on Simple Mobile.

My cellar has no reception, and when I come upstairs the phone will not regain signal for a very long time, unless I reboot or toggle airplane mode. Sometimes I get to work and realize that my phone still hasn't reconnected since the morning because I went to my cellar before leaving home.

Does anyone else have this issue and/or know a fix?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oppyusa:
I am a long time user of Nova and when CM12 (OTA stock) came out I went right to work changing the icons and white card background. Now Nova locks up nearly very night, while charging, between 1:20 and 3:20 AM. I get force close. I am locked out and need a reboot.

When rebooting I get the update screen

"Android is updating"

"Starting 2 apps"

Then all is well during the day. I tried Apex--Same deal.

Nova worked great on CM11 (OTA stock)

Launcher 3 (default) has no issues. Any thoughts on how to fix?

FYI Phone rooted and TWRP installed. Never installed nightlys

Tried

Delete cache and data

Change themes

Cycled (tried on and off)

Ambient light

Daydream

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Strange.

I am using Nova Launcher Prime and also been beta testing it before the 4.0 release and had no issues like you described - not on CM12, COS12 (stock OPO) and not now on CM12.1. You should get a logcat, when this happens or maybe reinstall ROM.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oppyusa:
I forgot to mention that I am using Nova Prime
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flatric:
For me Nova beta with prime is working fine, did you restore your settings? Maybe there's something broken.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oppyusa:
When I deleted the data and cache it sets it back to the "factory" default. The only restore I did was to re-enter the settings manually. The other thing is Apex Laucher has the same issue.

what activities go on in the middle of the night, and/or what 2 apps are being started on the reboot. Also, why does this happen only while charging.

[G4 General] Droid_Junky:
I ordered two with black leather from Verizon online. FedEx apparently damaged both the day of delivery so I never even got to see them...

Verizon refused to do anything until they were returned. They did credit my bill $20.00. After talking with online customer service at least five different occasions I have learned that I will never order online again. They are clueless. Nine days later I was told I could go into the store and get the phones. Apparently no stores in my area ever got any with leather. So I've got the plastic backs.
[G4 General] itiskonrad:
It really, really looks like it's on top, but I also can't really feel it. Not sure if it's strippable. If you try and are able to, please let me know. I'd love it logo-free as well. =)

AT&T has the black leather one also. Seems all carriers have the metallic grey and one has the white and I think Verizon has a red leather back. The black leather back would look fine on my metallic grey since the front is technically black and only the back is grey.
