Root HTC Increible S rooted battery

[jojo1419]

Hi everyone,

I rooted my Incredible S and flashed the Android Revolution HD with no-sense custom rom but then sometimes the battery icon was a gray exclamation point so I've googled some stuff and downloaded Battery Calibration. I followed the steps and it seems to work. Everything was fine until a couples of days later, when I was plugging my phone into the charger it would start to charge normaly then randomly stop charging... then charging again for a bit and then stop. After a while I was getting a message saying : "Your Phone is drawing more current than your charger is able to provide..." Then slowly after, my battery wouldn't hold a charge or charge and completely died :S.

Could this has anything to do with the fact that I rooted my phone?
I was also playing GBA emulator for hours if maybe this could be the reason...


I ordered 2 new batteries and it should arrive soon but I was just wondering if it was only my battery who just let go or my ROOTED phone made my battery died.


Thank You

It sounds like a battery issue as opposed to a root issue. The ARHD ROMs are designed to draw less current from the batteries so I doubt it would be that.

Are you using the standard charger though? Could it also be a faulty charger?

I was using two cables that I bought at walmart (pretty cheap one) and using the standard wall charger that came with the phone. I also tried with the cable that came with the phone and still won't charge.

But I was just thinking about something... It could also be the charging port or maybe all my three cables and wall charger that are faulty?? I did managed to charged the battery till 10% but than it would just drain super fast and won't hold its charge.

What happen is I went to the store and tried a brand new battery and the phone was able to power up. So then we jump to conclusion that it was my battery but I didn't try to charge the new battery to see if the charging port/cable was working...

I checked it out, and the battery is able to charge but only to 10% and can't go further. Also the charging port is loose and if I hold my cable a certain way it charge, and another way it doesn't... I still have the warranty on my phone but problem is, it's rooted, so I can't really send it to HTC to have it repaired. I also don't have enough power to unroot my phone (I don't really know how to do it either lol).
