Brand new, Wont charge..

**rdd0512** · #1 (**permalink**) 11-13-2008, 03:29 AM

got my tp today, i put the battery in and let it drain down and now it wont charge.... it turns on still and i put pbar and quickmenu on it so i could have the top bar battery and with qick menu the percent and mem percent in the title bar... now the quick menu indicator says 100 percent and the standard battery meter says 0 percent. when i hit the quick menu percent in the title bar it pops up a dialogue box that says main 0 percent and backup 100 percent. so my question is, has anyone else had issues when they first got it and what lights up when it is charging so i know what to look for

your led on the round button should illuminate on and off. Treo800 had similar problems when battery is dead. Solution for that was just use the charger that came with the HTC and plug it in for 30mins. Hopefully that is the case for you.

while charging, the light around the dpad at the bottom illuminates in a circular motion on and off... you'd definitely recognize that it is in charge mode...
when it's fully charged, it just stays lit until you unplug it.

thanks for all the help, did a hard reset and installed things one by one, i found out what i did, i used no2chems battery drivers from the mogul.... oops well we can put that one in the doesnt work on the tough pro pile. anybody know if there is something else that lets you see your battery percent in 1% increments instead on 5% on the touch pro? please share if you do

Wow, I didn't realize the 1% driver would cause that.

Actually, I didn't know ANY DRIVER could affect the charging of the battery. That's kind of cool/scary. It might explain why our batteries stop charging all the time--because the phone itself is going into protect mode.

I really hope it's the phone itself, and not something built into the battery. We can change software, but not hardware.

you were supposed to install the cdma diamond driver... look here it's below the mogul one: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nuePower.aspx

I saw your reply and decided to try the nuePower Battery display. I copied it to the storage card and installed it there. It installed fine. I turned my phone off an on, but cannot fine a program file to run and the original Power app under settings is the same. What am I missing?

ahh well that comment was to someone that already did the full install.. to get it working on the pro you have to go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424926
install the sdkcerts.cab, then FInixNOverBatteryIconsOnly.cab, and then install the nuepower driver for cdma diamond (http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nuePower.aspx).

that xda link tells you everything you'd want to know about customizing it, there's also a page on ppcgeeks here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=41608
however, on mine, i just like the 10% increments... you don't need nuepower for that (nuepower gives 1% increments). just install the sdkcerts and fIinixoverbatteryiconsonly cabs and you'll be good to go. like i said, more at the xda/ppc battery threads.
oh, and i think you have to install it on the device, not storage. you should always install apps on the device if it is used by the system...
