Battery or Firmware/Phone Problem?

[nilzf]

hello guys, im having trouble with my K750i about its battery:

1)i usually turn-off my phone when im charging. i notice that the charging never stops. the indicator just stops 1-bar less of being full and still charging. when i take off the charger, and plugged it in after like a minute or so, the screen then says "Fully Charged". could this be a battery problem? if this is a firmware bug, i tried using k750_r1bc001 and w800_r1bc002 and still same thing happens? Help!

2)about using GDFSTOOL to fix the battery bug, im just asking if i patch 45f00000-01000000, will this area be overwritten everytime i flash "MAIN"?

thank you!

i think its a firmware thing, the SE batteries have more charge in them than the battery indicator says so when youre charging, itll charge longer and if you let the firmware refresh, itll say its full. I think its a way that the phone tries to prevent over charging and running completely dry. If you notice the battery meter always says its holding around 70% when in truth, its at around 50% when you charge. Theres nothing wrong with the phone or the battery and i dont think flashing will fix anything. Ive gone through 8 firmwares and its all the same :D

i see. so this happens to all firmwares then? so only solution to fix is the "battery patch" using gdfstool?

no clue :p ive never actually bothered to look for a fix, i just charge it every day using the usb cable to my computer, it always stays at around 90% charged

hmm, sorry i couldnt seem to edit my first post, but another thing to look out for is the charger becoming quite hot. i dont think its normal because my nokias, motorolas and the last generation SEs did not have chargers that got this hot. I think it gets up to around 40 degrees celsius so i think its safer to charge from USB

why don't you update your phone with the sony ericsson's update service?It is the easiest way.Also it not dangerous...

....SEUS wont touch on those parts of the firmware...it only changes the MAIN and FS bits

It is battery issue. Try another one.

another battery?? or firmware?? :D

if its firmware, ive tried all of the k750 CID49 R1D firmwares...honestly, just spare yourself the trouble of flashing multiple firmwares and just charge through USB

Saying battery I meant exactly battery! Did I wrote firmware anywhere? If your BATTERY is faulty, it doesn't matter from where it is charging. Dear friends my suggestion is to begin with rather casual things. For example: cleaning contacts, spare battery etc. The last thing is to flash firmware. Btw. the battery problem is linked to GDFS NOT to firmware.
