Help Strange Charging phenomenon

[losl]

During charging my HTC DHD the % jumps up from about 60% to 100% (fully charged) in less than 10 min. Is that normal?

Thank you.

Could you post a screen shot from the default power menu in settings. Normally it goes straight up from 60, or some percentage lower than 100, indicating the battery is. Please longer taking a full charge.

You can try calibrating the battery and see if it improves.

He meant if the battery has stopped taking the full amount of charge that it should, the level might jump from <100 to 100

I was hoping to see, if in the default battery history details tool of the phone, if the power jumps straight up from 60% to 100%.

There are different views on how to recalibrate. I follow a simpler one myself.

1. Drain the battery till dead.
2. After the phone shuts down, power on the phone again, and drain the battery till dead again.
3. Charge the phone until full and leave for plugged for two hours after full. You can use an app called the Current Widget to make sure it is really full. But usually, it is really full after two hours.

If you do this, do this only one every month or two. It is not good for the battery. It is done to let the phone "see" the batteries full range so it can report correctly.

It is normal for older batteries not to charge to full anymore.
