BLU WIN HD LTE - Weird Charging Issue (charging but percent decreases)
A Working solution was added to the bottom of this Post.
I just got a BLU WIN HD LTE, but have a weird charging issue. When I plug the phone in, it'll start "charging" (the battery icon starts to blink, with a plug over it, and the LED turns red). If I unplug it, it stops charging (mostly) as well. So this is all normal.
However as it charges the percentage of the battery goes down. The charger is still delivering charge to the phone, and it seems like the battery is charging, but the % decreases. When I restart the phone the battery shows the correct %.
For example. If the phone is at 50% charge. I plug it in and come back 1h later, it'll show the phone at 30%. If I unplug it and restart the phone it then shows the phone at 75%. If I start charging again for 2h it'll show 43%, but when I restart it'll say 100%. If I plug it in at 100% it'll show the GREEN LED, like it's fully charged. But once it goes to 99%, and the LED turns RED and ICON blinks showing it's charging, it'll start going down again, until I restart the phone, then it'll say 100% again.
So basically it seems like the phone is charging but the % is messed up, and only when I restart the phone it shows the correct value.
The battery seems okay as well. If the phone is at 50% and I charge the phone while I go to bed. When I wake up it'll say something like 35% -> 45%, but then I restart the phone it'll say 100%. At this state the battery lasts like a 1 day. So the battery still holds a very good charge, and lasts a while. And the phone does charge quickly (assuming I restart it after the charge to show the "correct" charge percentage).
Very weird issue. It's not really bothering me right now. Every second day I charge the phone at night and restart it in the morning to get it to show the 100% (I assume it restarts a couple times during the night each time it hits 2-3%). But it's a bit annoying. Anyone have any idea whats going on? Or what I could try maybe?
It seems like if it's not plugged in it'll "discharge" quicker than normal sometimes too. But if I restart it, it'll show the true % again. If it's not plugged in sometimes the battery will drop down quicker than normal, for example it'll show 30%, but if I restart it'll go back to 92%. Sometimes when you are using the phone (both charging or not charging) the battery will go down faster to 2-3%, and the phone will shut down or restart. After it starts up again it shows the proper battery charge again (something like 80 - 90%). This part is annoying as if I leave it unplugged at night it'll go to 2% and shutdown (even though the battery is like 75% full), it won't restart cuz it's not plugged in, just stay shutdown. I miss calls and texts in the morning due to this. So the phone has to be plugged in at night.
EDIT:
Things I've Tried:
1) Used a different charger + cable (Nexus 4) - NO HELP
2) Fully discharge and then charge battery again - NO HELP
3) Soft Reset (Power + Volume-) - NO HELP
4) Hard Reset - Reset Hardware to Default - NO HELP
EDIT: SOLUTION:
I have tested this, and it has solved my battery problem. It also made the battery last a lot longer. The (*) points are not necessary points, just what things I did.
(*) Drained the battery low.
1) Turn off the Phone.
2) Take the Back Cover off. The RESET button can be located between the Power and Volume Down Buttons.
3) Press and Hold the RESET button for 30s.
4) Start the Phone and let the battery drain till it's low.
5) Charge the Phone as normal to 100% (problem should be fixed)
(*) Repeat in discharging the battery to a low %, then charging it again max for the initial "training" phase.
