6.1 Battery Issue

[bluedeer]

Anybody else noticed any weird issues with charging? I have the stock charger, as well as a USB cable to charge from the computer, and sometimes when I plug it into the wall charger, the unit acts as if there is no charger attached. When plugged into the USB port, it will sometimes kick on, sometimes it won't. When I check the battery status, it will report 'Unknown Battery'. I suspect there's some kind of battery driver issue that's causing this problem and possibly similar ones related. I wonder if there's something that's trying to access the battery to determine what kind/capacity of the battery and for some reason, is not talking properly, which is causing some kind of drainage issue. I have the same problem, and my results are unpredictable...sometimes it'lll work for hours on a full charge, sometimes only minutes. I can usually only get at most an hour or an hour and half call out of my PPC6700, or browsing unless I have it tethered.

I also have a car charger that used to work fine, now sometimes I'll plug it in and it won't register or charge. I'm not exactly sure how the power system functions, but I would have imagined it'd be simply hardware and not software at all, but I wonder if something that gets flashed is slightly incompatible and not switching on/off when it's supposed to, causing either no charging, or excess drain.

Soft and hard resetting my phone does not resolve this issue. What's even weirder, is that sometimes if I plug it in to a USB port and let it sit for a little while, it tends to correct the issue until I drain the battery.

Could there be some USB driver that's affecting it? Occasionally when I plug it in, I will get 'unrecognized device' until I soft reset my phone.

Food for Thought.
