I'm having an issue with my phone battery level detection.
It won't charge past 97%. I noticed it lately within the last few days, i would charge my phone, but when i would grab my phone for the day and take it off the charger, it instantly dropped down to as low as 95%. But, when i plug in the AC cable, it says 100% charged.
Anyone have any info about this? Also, i powered the phone down and charged it fully with the AC adapter, and the highest level i got was 97%.
Also, i have seen the phone has a lag issue, gps issue, no word about froyo, and no notification led. Most of those were fine for me, but since i've had the phone, most of the battery has been used for cell stand by even though i've been in areas with excellent reception. And now with this battery level discretion, i'm a little worried about my decision. I only have tomorrow to return the phone and now that idea is gaining more and more weight for me.

1.) I would say exchange your battery (I have never heard on that issue)
2.) There is something called a lag fix.. So search next time..
3.) There is also a GPS fix.. So once, again.. search
Defiantly keep the phone.. Download a ROM called Bionix 1.3 With Lagfix& OC/UV (1.4 will be released tomorrow)
Download a program called SetCPU and OV it to 1.2 (It will make the phone much faster)
Tada, you have what you should of had
download and install rom manager.. install clockworkmod, boot into recovery, wipe battery log..
I know there's a lag fix but why should we need that in the first place? I personally haven't needed a lag fix, but I haven't heard anything from Samsung about fixing it.
Also for the gps, flashing patches is still pretty hit or moss for a lot of people and even then, I've seen a lot of people that have their compassion still messed up. My question is not along the lines of "why isn't Samsung doing more to fix this issue across theory US galaxy s line?"
I mean, I've seen probably 3 official updates to "fix" the gps/compass issue, and the only one I haven't heard about the results is the fascinate. And I haven't heard ANYTHING from T-Mobile about fixing ANY is the issues that the vibrant has, on than "they're working on it".
It's word, if it wast for me reading the new engadget post today polling about people's epic and listing the problems it's facing (which most seem to echo across the galaxy s line) coupled with this battery issue, I wouldn't have second guessed my phone decision. But when o saw this, and my battery, it gave me a bad taste similar to what I faced in the slide community.
I love this phone, don't get me wrong. I'm just worried about Samsung and T-Mobile management calls.

I already have that installed. Would it get rid of my phone rating battery in cell standby or fix the part where I only can charge to 98%?
I'm going to try charging from a computer use to see if it's a charger problem or phone problem.
Edit: I am running JAC's kernel for the past 2 days, I wonder if that has anything to do with the charging discrepancy? Also, I'm not running it overclocked.

If you have such a problem with it then just take it back & quit whining.
All we are trying to do here is make the phone better, Your right you SHOULDNT need a lag fix in the first place.. but apparently YOU do
Like I said about the not charging all the way thing, just take it to your tmobile store & get a new battery.. Not to mention that they actually did say that froyo would be released after G2 witch is going to be sometime next month I beleive
I haven't seen the need for a lag fix myself and sorry is this entire thread sound like a rant/whine-fest. I do love what's been done for the phone in the face of it's adversity. And for the most part, I am pretty optimistic about Samsung/T-Mobile fixing the issues this has. I more just writing it all down at once to get it out if my system.

i see that. i also see that tmobile twittered about an OTA soon and not to flash the JI5. that's really more than i've seen from them about the phone lately, albeit still extremely ambiguous.
Also, i just unplugged my phone from USB computer charging. It charged to 100% but when i unplugged my phone it went back down to 97%. So it's not charger related. I'll be going into tmobile tomorrow and seeing if i can say whether it's the battery or the phone by testing out a different vibrant and charging my battery in there.
Also, i am getting kinda pissed that my phone "appears" to get extremely poor reception. It goes from strong signal to nothing, but still saying tmobile in the same place.

I'm talking about JI6 not JI5...
My vibrant has done the same thing once. I thought it was weird. Hasn't done it since though. I really don't care about one or two ticks on the battery guage. I use battery indicator pro though because the built in battery meter sucks.
i use a flashed version of the battery status reader as well as battery indicator. And it doesn't go up to 100% unless i'm using the charger. but once it's off the charger, it drops to 97%.

I went to my local tmobile store, they swapped batteries. They also told me they couldn't do anything since i was out of the 14 day exchange period. The thing is though, i bought the phone outright, and when you do that you have a 30 day return period.
But they also didn't have any vibrants in stock so i had to go to the nearest corporate store. I got there, and they were puzzled as to why i was having an issue, saying that "it lasts for the stated amount of time, so i'll most likely have to charge you a $10 restocking fee" crap. They ended up doing a 1 time courtesy exchange. I'll see how this vibrant goes. I also checked to make sure it wasn't hardware locked (it go into recovery with the volume keys).
I don't think it's a battery issue, as I've seen it quite often. Mine does this sometimes as well but it doesn't really bother me. Someone posted that there was a fix you could do using ADB from the computer, but it was a month or so ago and I'm too lazy to look for it.

well after swapping my battery for a new one and experiencing the same issue, i know it's not battery related. it's phone related. I want my phone to charge fully, not almost fully.
Yesterday, I was at the beach, phone was fine, later i go into the bag of things I brought out to check my shiny new Evo 3D, only to find it turned off, and I haven't been able to get a thing working all day, won't come on, wont give me a startup vibrate, screen flash, charge light, or anything. No water damage either I've checked the water indicator and nothing is different. Any ideas on how to get it back up and running.
Also, my girlfriends OG Evo will come on, but no screen, screen will not show anything even though capacitive buttons glow a normal, no water damage on her phone either.
Yes I posted this yesterday but under a weird title
Yes I have battery pulled
Yes I have tried a new SD card, and completely removing the SD
Don't know what else to try
Please help
Maybe the sun borked something in the units. I don't know if you left it baking in the sun but I know that leaving it in direct sunlight for prolonged period of time can wreak major havoc on LCD screens.
When you plug in the device you do you at least get a charge light indicator?
I'd suggest cooling down the device but since you said this was yesterday I don't see how this could help you.
Battery pull, fan cool down, wait an hour, reassemble and try again.
If no go. 611 my friend

The sun could of baked your phones both of them depending on how hot it was at the beach . I know the sun will **** up a lcd screen. Since your both having issues im guessing it was from the sun so I would take it to sprint and get it checked out .

I went to a sprint store today, they cant touch it until 30 days, I'm not sure how it could have gotten so overheated, It was left in the bottom of the bag, and everything else down there was fairly cool, i tried cooling it over the ac though.
And no, no charge light at all
question
How many days have you had it... Seems like a defective phone from the get go to me. I would be pissed if I bought a new phone and it died in 2 days. Return the phone and don't take no for an answer!!! They should give you another one.

I agree. Take the 3vo back demand an exchange. Take the evo back separately (maybe different store altogether) and have the tech fix it or do the insurance deal.
Beaches are the graveyards of electronics. Don't take them there unless you plan on burying them during your visit.
in your shoes!
Hey I am having the same Problem (diff circumstances, not beach temps I am in Chicago) I was at my friends apt tonight showing off the EVO 3D when the screen just went black! The phone said it had over 70% battery remaining. It has been about 3 hours since and the phone will not turn back on. I have taken out the battery plugged in power and done it all backwards too. I don't know what to do right now. I got this phone TODAY!!!

Did you do the OTA update ? Isn't there a hard reset ? I haven't messed with the OTA yet. Got my phone today from sprint online. Anyways I know the HTC touch pro 2 had a SLEEP issue it was called the SOD screen of death phone would turn screen off and you couldnt get it to wake up at all. You had to pull battery multiple times to get the sucker to work.

I have been trying to hard reset my device all night now! I have been trying this method: google search EVO 3D hard reset and its the first link... basicly it says hold down your vol down button then hold the power button but nothing happens for me.
but to no avail! I have tried taking the batt out multiple times and press the power button. I have tried keeping the batt out with the power cord plugged in. nothing is working!

they just dont wanna becuz they might have to swap you and theres no referbs yet so they would have to give a new one and dont want to cuz they would rather sell it
so they have to take a look at it call CS 1800 theyll walk you threw all the stuff you tried (that didnt work) once its doesnt work with their help thell issue you a repair ticket and then the store will have to look at
Efff that...RETURN both phones as defective.
my evoG had 3 returns before i was happy.
Today my 3d decided to turn off and not turn back on after selecting an application. had to pull the battery to get it back up again..
HW002.. I will be taking mine back in .. seems enough people are having the device just shutdown on them for no good reason.
Remove the sdcard then try and boot the phone.
I ordered it online on the 21st, So what I really want to know, is if i take it to a corporate store with the box and all items that came with it, will they allow me to swap it there, or will I have to call CS and have them send a replacement?
Any ideas?
I was in TWRP at the main menu, instead of clicking power off, I pulled the battery to replace the sd card with another. Now it will not power up, when I plug it in..no red light?
Thanks in advance...Jim

See if you have any luck trying to boot without an sd card in there. Also, try holding down on the power button for at least ten seconds

This happened to me about a week ago. Charging it was what fixed it.
If charge it doesn't fix go to a sprint store and let them charged the battery the did the trick for.my EVO 4G once the happened, for.some reason the battery seems dead when is nor really dead
MGS on my iPad
Maybe check the battery connectors dood. I know some htc models have problems with those.
Coz i just saw it in 3D with the Shooter!
mines not powering up either.. Never turned it off, woke up this morning & it was off. Not powering up. been on charger all night
happens all the time to me. i know its a flaw, but ive learned to NEVER let my battery go all the way dead. If i see it get around 5-10% ill just put in on airplane mode til i can get to a charger. Also if you battery is very low, turning it off or pulling the battery will cause it to get an attidude and not turn back on for 15-20 min
Yeah, I have been having lots of "attitude" from my battery or power button or on/off code or whatever is making these things not want to power on reliably.... Not to mention the random charge-light-on-wont-turn-on antics. Has been happening more and more frequently and nothing i do works reliably so I just try them all until one works.
I can't have this. This morning I woke up to a locked phone, screen off, green light on, won't turn on.... And totally dead battery while plugged in? Good thing my nook is so reliable as an alarm clock or I might have been in deep **** at work.
It's not the rom or kernel... I've tested everything. I think it's deeper than that. I might not be able to wait for the nexus-prime.... Sgs2 might have to do.

I've seen a lot of these posts. I usually never let mine get in the amber even but I recently flashed viper rom so i wanted to do a battery calibration...meaning..reset stats from full charge..then use it till it dies. After reading these posts I realized mine hadnt died on me any yet. After 16 hours of heavy abuse (12 hours of normal music streaming, calls, text, web surfing etc...and 4 hours of just playing youtube video's with all radio's on trying to kill the damn thing) it finally croaked. Worked just fine though.
Maybe something to do with certain shipments. I've seen a lot of posts on htis but no one ever puts out a batch number or anything. Perhaps all the ones having issues came from a similar batch...and have some designation of affiliation with said batch. Just a though..if we could discover some trend in this...perhaps they'd consider acknowledging it and helping users with issues...or at least help new comers to the thread avoid particular troublesome ones.

i think it has something to do with the non HTC s-off method. But im right with you. As soon as Sprint releases the s2 this 3D is going straight to ebay. I love it, but the signal weakness and power problems are MAJOR things that I cant take much longer

It did this before I did s-off.... Admittedly not as much, but it also hadn't done it any more afterwards.... Until a week or so ago, and it just seems to be getting worse. I have an unmodified eng hboot and radio, I doubt that there are remnants of revolutionary that would get progressively worse over time....but I have no idea honestly.

Agreed. I stopped into my local radio Shack two days before release to play with their demo unit.... Turned on... Played with 3D... Turned off... Never came back on again, ever. Tried everything.
Sucks cuz I do love htc build quality. It just feels good in the hand. LOVE qHD, definitely gonna miss that. But this is bad and getting what worse.... And that's without mentioning the awful signal strength..... We'll see...

AWFUL signal strength. actually, worse Ive ever had on a phone.
my EVO never came back. I was at 60% batt life when I put on charge last night & was dead ass hell this morning.. no life at at.. Sprint tech took it apart it said the phone apears like new, just lifeless. swapped battery with 3 others, no good. So I figured it would be a long shot but I took it back to the store I got it from 36 days ago.. & Explained what happen.. Swapped me out with another one right then & there!..
BTW this is my 5th NEW Evo3D. thats sad...
I have a good one for anyone, I have a Evo3D which I am going to do all those wicked things to.. but last night or rather this am around 645. this Evo turned its self on and set off a alarm in which I had never set. when I was trying to shut off the alarm it started clicking away at the camera.. but there is no sd card in it, so it did not save them. and I had to pull the battery to shut the cell off again. the button on the top would not function the cell. this was a very strange occurrence while I was 3/4 asleep.. the cell is not activated and its banded sprint.. has anyone ever heard of this before? I have currently taken the battery out of the cell in case of ghostly occurrences.

never heard of anything like this .. if the cell isnt activated, then nobody could be remotely controlling it via the cell radio.
was it connected via wifi?
is the device internal memory write protection unlocked? rooted? are you running any type of custom ROM or software on the device?
sure sounds like a very odd occurance .. my only guess would be maybe you were a bit sleepy?
No this thing is stock.. and I'm not the only one who heard the alarm. my partner who was in bed with me heard it also.. and this morning we both said how freakin weird..
Are you sure the phone wasnt just in sleep mode. I cant see how the phone would turn on by itself. That would be the best invention ever.
ok here is the thing, I had taken the battery out and put it back in, and never turned the cell on. it was just laying there waiting for me to decide what to do to it.. IE root, rom mgr etc. When the damn thing just did this.. a self starting phone that rang the alarm at 645 am.. and when I picked it up the camera started acting wacky and I had to pull the battery to shut it back off.. weird huh.
Whatever you are smoking, you should probably share.
Weird
That does sound a little crazy......was alcohol involved
Record it!

would be the best invention? LOL My old phone Moto ROKR E6 have that ability. You know the phone was released in 2006.
heres the follow up. HTC whom i contacted said " that the on off button and the hardware in the notifications for the alarm was in a stuck loop meaning that it needs repaired . so its still under warranty and is on its way back to them. hopefully it will be fixed and returned. that they have seen this on this model. Im glad someone knew what the world is up.
oh and also i'm sorry I was not smoking anything, isn't my style.. sorry

So my phone has been working fine for a week and I've never had issues like this before on any android phone. I got the Trident Aegis case for my Evo 3D today and I gotta say it's awesome. However, it came with a screen protector. I applied it and decided I didn't want to keep it on there so I took it off. Ever since then my phone has randomly been acting up.
When I click the power button, the clock in the middle rotates back and forth as if I were clicking the screen, and proceeds to tell me to Pull the ring to unlock. Sometimes it'll just keep doing this even though my fingers are no where near the screen. I was going into texts and sending a message to my girlfriend and the typing worked fine, but I started to delete a word I mistyped and it acted as if I was holding down the delete button and deleted my entire message. I later tried to click send and it kept clicking on attachments.
When I was in the messages menu it was acting as if I was instantly holding down a contact and deleting threads. I'm so confused as to whats going on. I will not that this isn't consistent and for now it has calmed down. (scratch that the send thing is still happening. I can type the entire message perfectly and anywhere I click responds, but not send.) I suspect it has to have something to do with the screen protector I removed (just a static one) or the case itself, even though that doesn't make very much sense. Should I take it into Sprint if it starts happening again? Maybe just do factory reset?
UPDATE: They replaced my hboot 1.5 phone and for the hell of it I decided to check HBOOT version. The one I got came with HBOOT 1.40.0000, Jun 8, 2011.
I am ecstatic!
All I know is HBOOT 1.5 stuff though, so WAT DO.
Your digitizer is going out. A lot of people had that issue or are having it. That's how mine was and it just gradually got to a point where I couldn't use the phone. RIP.

Yup, this seems the case. Luckily I decided not to root my device just before this happened. I'm really not sure what caused it, but it's definitely not the case. After playing around in a painting program i found there's just a half-inch line that cannot be touched horizontally across the screen.
With insurance and the fact I bought it a week ago, they have to replace it.
SO
They replaced my phone after trying to tell me it was gonna be fixed and I said NO, I bought this 9 days ago give me a brand new one. So they did and it came with HBOOT 1.4 SUP
At least they replaced yours. I took mine in but of course when I take it in the screen works fine. When I leave it starts to act up...

Try to determine the exact problem of it. Use a paint app and just tap dots across the entire screen, not lines.
