Stuck on 1X Data - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This morning when I turned on my phone (turned it off to charge last night) I was unable to get a 4G or even a 3G signal. It keeps staying on 1X. I have a short-cut to the *#*#4636*#*# menu to turn 4G on and off, but it's not doing anything. I have pulled the battery/sim card out 5 times and it is still stuck on 1X. I understand that the 4G/3G antenna is built on to the back battery cover of the phone, but the cover is on so it should work. I had a 4G signal before I turned the phone off last night to charge.
Another question, when I turned my phone on this morning from a full charge. The battery showed it at 89%....How come it didn't get a full charge? The phone was stuck on the charger for the whole afternoon/night yesterday. Everytime I took the charger off, it will go from 100% to 92% so I charged it some more.

It's been posted in a few threads here but there's a nationwide 4g outage.

Well, I should at least get 3G then right? Battery went from 100% to 75% just from all the reboots and battery pulls

URGENT: Phone Overheated :/

So, I was playing Plague Inc. and my screen started flickering. Less then a minute after that my phone turned itself off.
I removed the battery and charger etc, but now it says my battery is at 0%, and I am having issues with the mobile network.
Ok, just checked, mobile network seems to be OK - but battery still at 0?
Please help!!!!
Maybe it just got severely drained
if it were me, I'd inspect the battery, and if it isn't bulging and looks normal, I would charge it for at least 2 hours with the phone off and not touch it once. Then check back and see if it's recovered.

[Q] Evo out of battery & with CWM

I installed CWM on my Evo 3D
but the battery was out of power and it turned off!
It seems like its not charging while turned off!!
Any Ideas how I can charge it now?
Take out the battery, put it back in, charge it, but do not try to turn on the phone for about half an hour. Then it should start
the problem is that I can't charge it I charged it over night but It still won't turn on
Take the battery out, put it back in and then let it charge for at least half an hour before turning it on. Trust me man, I've been through that problem too
but was it also because of CWM ?

Battery randomly charging or discharging

Hello, I've started having some weird battery issues with my HTC One X+, wonder if anybody else has seen this before. I've attached a screenshot of the battery graph for my phone, so you can see what I've been encountering.
It all started two days ago, when my phone charged down and shut off, despite being idle and connected to my laptop for USB charging the whole time. Since then, I've been seeing all kinds of wacky behavior with the battery stats. The status has been stuck on "11M 19S ON BATTERY" for the last three days. It discharges really fast even when idle, which it wasn't doing before. Last night, the battery chart shows the phone either being awake or with the screen on, but it is wrong: the phone was turned off.
I turned it off almost all of today, turning it on maybe 2-3 times just to check the charge and then immediately turning it off, and connected it to AC charging the whole time, but the battery charge seems to go up and down during that period! At this point, my battery stats seem completely corrupted, except for the fact that the phone does shut itself off when the charge goes to zero, so the total charge may be correct.
I'm not sure if this is a software issue or hardware, as I seem to be getting strange data from the software. I looked at many of the battery threads in this forum: they say to charge the phone to green and discharge a couple times, but I cannot get it to go to green again, even with the phone turned off and AC charging! I should still be covered by the 1-year manufacturer warranty: do I need to send it in for repair or this is some known software issue that I can fix myself? I'm running stock unrooted Android 4.2.2 Sense 5 on the international unlocked HOX+.

I thought I'd update with the latest. After a couple days of freaky battery behavior, I was finally able to get the HOX+ fully charged again, after which the problems went away, still no idea what caused it in the first place. I wanted to make sure it really went away before posting: it hasn't recurred in the weeks since.
I fell asleep last night with a podcast playing on my HOX+ at the lowest volume setting and held next to my ear, woke up this morning with only 50% battery used after 12 hours of almost continuous mp3 playback. I've always been impressed with how little battery this device uses while playing mp3s, still going strong. :victory:
Sigh, spoke too soon, it's constantly discharging again, no rhyme or reason why, and the charger can't keep up. The weirdest part as always is that it can't even recharge while turned off, implying there's a short circuit or something else wrong with the hardware. I'll see if I can get it to charge eventually, may have to turn it over to HTC this time.

My battery has lost its mind

So, I'm not sure what is happening - my phone battery is all over the place.
It started about a week ago - I'd see my phone battery at let's say 51%. We go out - take perhaps 2-3 pics, and my battery is down to 2%. Mind you - I haven't used the phone until I took it out to take the pics. Data was turned on, but no GPS or Bluetooth, no phone calls, nothing. From 51% to 2% in a matter of about 3 minutes or so. Then it dies - I plug it into the charger and it shows 26%. It charges upto 28%, we get out of the car and I unplug and take the phone with me.
When we get back in the car, plug it back in and it shows 74%. Doesn't change from 74 for a good 15mins and then goes up to 76% by the time I get home about an hour later.
Restart the phone at the 76% and within the first 10minutes it's dropped to 38%.
This has been the pattern, give or take, the last week now. I have no idea what's going and why it's happening.
I have not installed any new apps in the last month, and the phone is not rooted (G925I).
I have also tried to let the phone charge to 100% once it's died and then within 3-4 hours, the battery is dead on minimal usage.
I am not using the charger that came with the phone - am on travel and have a smaller travel charger, but this has never been an issue with the same phone before.
Any and all help is very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

You should probably use the samsung warranty because that is not normal

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I used tap tap shortcut to launch camera and shot few pics, videos. And then after maybe an hour without using my phone (no data, no gps) i looked at my phone and it had 1% battery left then it shut off. When i got home i plugged charger and after 10 minutes battery was 65%.
As for my situation I guess it's related with camera. I didn't exit camera app, just locked my phone using power button while camera was open and this happened. It's the first time that i'm encountering this, so it's hard to tell. Btw i'm using xtrestolilte 2.4.
I got the same kind of issues. My battery is crazy, I let it with Wi-Fi only, no Sync, no download and it lose 7% in an hour.
Sometimes I may just be on twitter and it looses about 2% every 5 minutes which is CRAZY !
Also, last time it turned off because I had 0%. I tried rebooting and it was at 10% xD.
Samsung did a terrible job with the S6, I don't know what it is exactly but it's weird.

Battery life on Truesmart+

I am using TS+ for about a week.
But I noticed that the battery life is too short.
I used only about 5~10 minutes screen on.
I set wifi on, cellular on, bluetooth off and disabled the sync of gmail.
TS+ only last about 16hr, just suddenly shutdown with battery status displayed 79%.
When I charge the TS+, it shows battery is 0%, and starts to charge from 0%.
Is this normal?
The battery is totally dead(0%) when I unboxed TS+.
I thought phone should still have battery around 50%, when they first arrived.
My OG TS got days of use and weeks of standby but had the same battery bug. Come to think of it, every MTK6572 based smartwatch I've seen has the exact same bug. I guess MTK and the various brands never bothered to fix it.

I have the exact same problem with my TS+. I hope a firmware update can fix it
I tried to use only phone stand by (no 3G data, no wifi, no bluetooth).
My TS+ last for 5 days and 6 hours.
