I have an HTC EVO 3D, the battery will literally melt down to "red" in about 3 hours, and charge extremely slow or not at all, until I reboot the phone, and then the phone will reboot with a charge of around 60% and normal recharge rates.
What the heck is going on? My phone is not rooted, so I can't reset the battery configuration....or can i?
Stock everything...
try this. Let the battery die completely. With the phone off let it charge till you get a green light.
Do that a couple of times, will more than likely fix it.
You can also charge and then wipe battery stats in recovery.
charge and wipe stats ftw
You guys are so smart..it's not like he just saidb he's completely stock

Yes it's as stock as it gets, lol
Yeah I missed the part where he said he was not rooted.
Factory Reset.
Are you using the stock charger? I had this issue when I first got my EVO but it was because I had been using a different charger

So my DX2 is DEAD and whenever I try to Start RSD Protocol process it says "Battery too low to flash" and it won't charge. Everytime I try to charge it, the phone powers on and stays on the "M" HELP?!!!
It still charges while the M is on. Just maybe let it sit like that for an hour or so then try RSD.

Not trying to be unhelpful, but this post doesn't belong here in the developement forum; rather in the Q&A Forums.

Absolutely 100% correct. Even while displaying the "M", if you plug in using the wall charger, it will charge.

When you actually brick a device, you cannot see anything and nothing, nothing will happen. You answered your own question. Just plug your phone in while on that screen and give it another try in an hour or so.

Yeah thats true too. No offence, just sounds like a user error. Maybe get another battery? Thats why I'm so glad when they swapped my X for the X2 they let me keep the X battery and my girls when she went to the INC2. They sent me a 1990mAh extended battery too so I got two spare original batteries I keep charged. As the other two said again, let it sit an hour or so, try RSD and I'm sure your phone will come back. Even if you get a 100% after RSD and says to manually boot this phone, if it bootloops, battery pull, go to android recovery, data and cache wipe, reboot system and all should work from there.

You are only soft bricked, which means you only need to either wipe devak cache, wipe cache, or possibly do a factory reset. Unless you flashed a system file that put your X2 to sleep till you sbf. Now its sick and it needs to be sbf'ed. Bricked is when it needs to possibly be sent back to Big Red for a Transplant or burial.
Because it is no longer able to get juice through it's motherboard, and turn on.
"I could be wrong" but I soft brick 3 to 10 times daily. Just flashing stuff I have no business flashing. But I flash ReRecovery after every file I flash, just in-case.
I also have a Recovery on hand to restore my system.
I never flash on a low battery. Hope I explained it well enough, Good Luck!!!
I don't want you to think I was being a smart a$$ just trying to explain in a way that most understand.

External barlttery charger is what I used. I was in the same sticky spot. I went without a phone for close to two weeks. The phone would not let me charge the battery while the splash logo was showing and I hadn't gotten bsr installed yet. Look on Amazon, the chargers are only 5 bucks

I also bought a external charger for around 5 bucks. Its a must have if you have more than one battery.

No progress sadly:/ I'm going to try what the guy a couple of post above said. I'll report back with my results. Thank you guys a lot tho. Means a lot when others contribute to one person. Glad to have people like you all. Now should I charge in another Droid x2 and SBF or is there another option?
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA Premium App
You could use the battery from the other Dx2 while yours is charging. Saves a little time both ways once your battery has enough charge to kick start at least a quarter %. You can drop it in yours and finish charging only takes 5 maybe 6 min to sbf. Good Luck.

Cut a micro usb cable
Strip the red and black wires
Strip the green and white wires then twist those two together
Attached the black to the negative - on the battery and the positive to the + on the battery. This will manually charge the battery.
Be warned: you can overcharge your phone. Overcharging is bad so don't do it.
Use this method at your own risk. Neither Ace nor I are responsible for what happens!

This is what has worked for me every time no matter if stock rooted or any other custom rom..... and I do this switching back and fourth between extended and stock battery..... you must be rooted.... atleast i was.
get the battery monitor widget from the market. In the setting you can change the ma rating of the battery you are using. Once you have done that click on stats in the app and it'll clear battery stats. Reboot phone go into app and clear stats again. That should be it. When I had clokworkmod installed on the reboot id clear battery stats in there as well.

I believe it's in the app he mentions. The "wipe battery stats" option is also in the advanced menu of CWM (clockwork mod). If you do not have a custom recovery installed just disregard that part as bootstrap does not have it.

So I have a evo lte that has been unlocked. Flashed the custom viper rom... After 2 weeks, the phone started acting weird today. I booted into recovery to wipe dalvik and cache. Then the phone started going crazy. Rebooted a few times and now it's a brick. Can't turn on or charge. Tried hard reset and combination of buttons to boot into bootloader. Nothing works. Any idea?

read somewhere that putting the phone in the freezer would work.
i left the phone in the freezer for 5 mins and it turned on... But after 1-2 mins it should shut off again and not allow me to boot. any help?
how long have you left it on the charger? are you using the 1A HTC charger or a different one? when mine has shut off due to low battery and i've tried to charge it at someone else's house using an old micro-USB charger it would take HOURS before it would even show the light and allow it to be turned on. the light would occasionally blink but that was it. turns out the charger was a 180mA charger... you said you're overseas, maybe it's a power issue.
myself and a few other members have had this issue! i wasnt rooted but i had the issue of it not turning on or charging. i took it to the sprint store and they gave me a band new evo. =p

Try letting the phone die completely..once dead plug into charger and see if it starts lighting up. If it does, attempt to boot into recovery. Best of luck!

On ICS my phone would alert me of low battery at 14%, then at 9% and at 5% would go red and alert me again. Now, on JB it alerts me at 14% but just shuts off at 10%. Has happened to me three times now, so I've gotten to where I charge once it hits 11% (if I'm at home). But That's shortening my battery life some and if I'm out and about is an inconvenience. I'm 100% stock. Anyone else having this issue since the JB update and is there a way to fix it (without rooting my phone)?

I had the same issue pop up when I wiped EVERYTHING except external SD and flashed a sense 5 Rom....after it completely died at 9% and then I fully charged, and then booted it up, Is been fine....try the complete kill/full charge method....Prolly has something to do with the battstat.bin file not reading correctly as stated above, let us know.

Could be battery polling not correctly updating. Once in awhile I'll see 20%, reboot and it will say 8%. Battery may be damaged if the stats aren't correct.

I've had similar issues dating back to the original EVO. Found this page that fixed my problems then thanks Swagstr. I started having the same issues on the new Evo. This processes helped as well. If you're getting shutdowns/ reboots at 20% it'll take a while for this process to get "topped off". Once i do this, my phone will work until it's been at 1% for 10-15 minutes. Then the batter will show completely red with diagonal lines through it for a minute or two before shutting down.
http://www.pocketables.com/2010/08/how-to-calibrate-htc-evo-battery-and-possibly-double-your-battery-life.html
Here's a variation of these instructions:
Turn the EVO on and charge it until the LED indicator turns green.
Unplug it and turn it off.
Plug it back in and charge until the LED indicator turns green.
Unplug it and turn it on.
Once powered on completely, turn it off again.
Plug it back in and charge until the LED turns green.
Unplug it, turn it on, and use it normally.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basically repeatedly do this until plugging it in when off turns the LED green almost immediately.
