Battery Dips Quickly When Indicator Turns Yellow - HTC EVO 3D

So, I noticed that when my battery gets to the yellow color on the indicator, it stays there only for a couple minutes, then it's immediately red. Here's what I mean. Does this look normal???:

Have you contacted Sprint about it or brought it into the store? If so, what'd they say?

I experienced this today and wasn't sure about it thought it was a.glitch or something. But I will see if it will happen again

I've seen this every single time it gets to that point. I'll try and take it to the Sprint store tomorrow when I get a chance and will let you know what they say.
If anyone gets a chance to call Sprint about this in the meantime, please post details. I'm curious to see what they say.

Sprint isn't going to be able to tell you anything. Most of the people there barely know anything about the phone itself. Get a task manager that tracks your usage and figures out what exactly is using your battery at what times and you can figure it out for yourself. Try SystemPanel.

I had this problem on the og EVO as well as the 3d I wouldn't call it a bug it just is what it is

Wow ive managed to make it happen everytime. When the battery gets to about 23 % it falls to 14 and really puzzled by this. Is it a major problem or does the battery need calibration

It's gonna be a calibration/software issue. Either your phone is reading the battery wrong, or the battery is sending the wrong signal.
If it was actually dropping that fast, your battery would explode.
I'm dead serious too.
Try this: When it does the drop thing, reset your phone, and see what % the battery shows when it comes back on. It should jump back up to around your original % (23 you said?). Maybe a middle ground of around 20.
If it doesn't right itself in a week, swap it out.

I waited for mine to discharged till 9% and it didn't happen at all here is a pic I took

I have noticed this as well.

same here the battery turns yellow then almost instant its read !

I had the same issue, kind of ignored it. The drop seemed instant but then my phone would hang out on 14% for a long ass time.
One day I had around 35% and did a data reset (not for the battery issue), just to see if my 3g speeds increase. After the reboot my phone came back up said I had less then 2% battery left, it shut off on me, I turned it back on, and it stated I had 30ish % left. Ever since then my battery hasn't done that drop.
Here's a link to the thread, try it, can't hurt anything I guess. I still don't know if maybe the data reset, reset my battery stats, or maybe the restart did something, who knows. All I know is I had the same issue and don't anymore
