Anyone know if the charging on the 3D will be like the 4G where when you take it off the charger it drops immediately? Would be nice to see if HTC fixes this to where it's something like a trickle charge.
I also wonder if the chargers (car and wall) from the orginal evo 4g will work with the evo 3d.
There will be no trickle charge because it wears down a battery faster. what they need is two charging circuits. On for charging, and one to run the phone on after the battery is charged

I agree. There has been some reports on here by people running the trickle charge kernel that have seen their battery burn up or explode. I am sure people will still develop this kernel for the 3D though.

6 reports out of thousands of people using SBC kernels. And the problem was pretty definitively traced down to cheap Chinese knock off batteries. I never saw a report, or even heard of a report, where someone using a decent battery ever had any kind of problem.

I would assume any USB charger would work. They're not even really "chargers", they're just power sources. The phone has it's own internal charging circuitry.
There will be no need for SBC kernels for the 3d. The reason they were created was to fix a charging problem that was in the n1, incredible and Evo only. HTC has fixed the bug in the most recent phone lineup. Don't worry SBC haters and lovers, it wont be needed

If it uses micro-USB (like it should) then of course they would.

Charging Problems
Hey guys, pretty new to this but here's the story;
My Evo 3D has been rooted and now has the latest version of leedroid (all done by my cousin) but now I'm having issues with the Charging.
I leave the phone to charge overnight but when i wake up, the light is green but the battery is only around 70-80%, I then have to leave it to charge until 100% and then unplug.. is this a software or hardware issue? it seems it stops charging when reached 100% but then doesnt remain active.
I've had a look around the forums but can't find any fixes.. please help!
try a different kernal or flash another rom
Will Do, Thanks

Isn't that a little bit sad?
Since the support for this phone is realy crap.
I have the issue where the bat does not charge to 100%.
I have to remove the cable when it hits the green LED (99% full) and reconnect it again (LED turns red) to get to 100% finally.
When I contact HTC they tell me to send it for repair.
Buit this is obviously a software issue, not a hardfware issue.
An update would fix it easily.
My GF has same issue, and I swapped tyhe phone at the store in the first week because of this. New phjone exactly same problem.

Normal behavior. And if this is the only issue you are having (not really an issue) you are doing pretty well. The phone has a built in overcharge protection (as all phones do) that will charge the phone to 100% or just under then let it discharge to 90-95% and then charge again to 100%. There are SBC kernels for other phones that will change this effect by charging to 100% and then trickle charge it to keep it at 100%, but none made for the EVO3D because it really doesn't seem like a huge deal. And if you are really sending phones back over 1%, you are one picky dude.
I think your thread title is wrong. There are some great fully functional ROMs out there.
The battery will fluctuate from 95%-100% while on the charger. Think it's an HTC issue, or maybe Android. This isn't something to get all pissed off about IMO, maybe I am missing something though.
yep.. is 100% normal.
i'm running on a shawn3d 1.4 rom, with a akernel v10.07, have a battery life of over 2 days, with bluetooth and wifi on, medium use..
everything but I mean everything works..
so euhm... whats the problem again???
OP,
Why you butt hurt?
Just kidding. These issues are all normal for android phones. I have seen these issues on the Heroc, OG Evo, Samsung Epic and now Evo 3D.
It is not that I am picky.
You must agree that it is quite anoying if you sleep for 8 hours while charging, and you then see a green LED, but then to see 99%.
When you for instance have the alarmclock ringning, you drain 2 or 3%.
It is not normal behaviour I think. PLus bat-life was 2 days in the first 2 weeks, now I barely last a day.
Any thoughts?
Edit...: 3 HTC phones before NO problem at all

There is no such type of issue on my evo 3d. I've tried around 15 different ROMs and all were functioning as they should.
The issue you have posted is not an issue. If you see green LED and numbers below 100% then your phone went to 100% before but you havent noticed that. I advise you to keep your eyes on the battery icon when the LED is red and % are near 98-99. You will notice it goes to 100% and red LED turns green. Then the numbers will go down as your battery discharges.
It is an overcharge protection made by the manufacturer.

What ROM are you on? Try a custom ROM for better battery life. I'm using ViperROM and plenty of people provide screen shots in that thread of their own findings (e.g. ridiculously long battery life).

You want your battery percentage to stay at 100 when you charge it? Get rid of your 3d, get an evo 4g, put a froyo ROM on it and use a sbc kernel. Other than that, quit *****ing. Like others have said its a built in over charge protection from HTC. Some may argue if its actually needed because i used an sbc kernel on my old evo ever since it was available and never had a problem with my battery. But is like 3-4% really that big of a deal?
Saying that there are no fully functioning roms is a bit rude imo, there are tons. I use warm 2.3 and it has zero problems.

It's not a issue, it's supposed to be that way. It has a "maintain" function once it reaches 100, it will let itself drain back to 95, the charge back to 100, then back down, etc.. It's to maintain the battery correctly .
Dumbass with a smartphone.
It's not an issue you idiot. It's so your battery doesn't die for good after a short amount if time. They're not supposed to be fully charged like that. Educate yourself instead of looking like a fool.

If a lithium battery were brought to 100% and the charger kept charging it to keep it at 100%, you would have far worse issues than a 5% fluctuation, you would likely have a house that has burned down. Lithium batteries are very picky about their voltage, too much and they go into a runaway exothermic condition and become fireballs, too little and they go into a runaway exothermic condition and become fireballs.
Check out youtube videos about damaged or overcharged lithium batteries.
Honestly, this is a problem with all Android phones, I've gone from the EVO 4g to the E3D and I've had the same issue, though I wouldn't exactly call it a "problem"...
What I do when I wake is unplug my phone, check my email/social networks on it for a few minutes, let the battery drain a few % points, then plug it back up while I shower. It sounds weird, but unplugging and re-plugging really helps, as my battery then stays at 100/99% for at least an hour after I leave my house before beginning to drain.
I've noticed that if I don't do this, the battery drains a lot faster than it would if I had...
Hope this helps
yea it is eternity 130
Ive been using 1800s lately..2 of them that i charge with an external charger that came with them. Usually getting around 18 hrs at normal/heavy use. Considering i was lucky if i ever made it 12 hrs on the stock 1500, it was a good deal.
So both 1800s were dead and the plug in charger wasnt charging for some reason...phone kept restarting.. so i popped in the stock as a last resort and it made it 1 day 13 hrs and might have kept going if i hadnt taken it out at 4%. Really??
What changed it? I had charged it on the external charger and itd been sitting unused for a few weeks. Or does the phone adjust to longer cycle times when using extended batteries?
Ill have repeat the experiment and see if i get the same results.

Some higher power decided you deserved an ungodly amount of battery life considering two 1800's broke on you
I've no idea as to why this would happen. You got quite lucky my freind!
Just to clarify for future reference, battery calibration has never been and never will be relevant in accurate battery readings. It tracks what hardware and software on the phone have used the battery, nothing more.
Anyway, I don't have an answer for you. The fact that you got significantly less battery from your 1800's as opposed to your recent stock battery experience simply doesn't make sense. Could you have been using one of your 1800's and not realized it? I know that sounds silly, but that drastic improvement from a considerably weaker battery is illogical. I think you're missing something.
I could be wrong though, and for your sake I hope I am. I hate the stock battery. It's horrendous. Trident 3800mah ftw!
I am a heavy user most days. I turn the data off most nights and mostly just use wifi at home. I didnt play as many vids or any games that day but none of that matters most of the time. Light or heavy use and i usually get crappy battery life. The 1800s being the exception. Not broke...i just hadnt had time to charge them..the external charger is very slow..im talking 6 or more hrs for a full charge. So honestly no idea how my stock battery outlasted my 1800s... im going to put it on the external charger and try it again next battery change. Couldve been a fluke.

Obvious lack of a read is obvious. Please, do read the entire original post before making a response. It comes across as rude, and is simply not productive. It isn't necessary.
Thanks!
It was definitely the 1500... the batteries look different and the 1500 actually counts down accurately...was nice having that again for a change. The 1800s i have seem more for the atrix than the x2 or theyr from a batch that just dont report accurately. It goes from 99 down to 1% within the first few hrs and then just stays at 1% for the majority of the charge. So i never know when its going to shut off on me.
The 1500 is charging..so ill give it another go whenever the 1800 thats in now dies.

Mine has done that also, more than once. Doesn't seem to effect anything though. Seems to go away after a battery pull. Weird.
It mustve been a fluke. Used the 1500 again and got maybe 16 hrs. Thats still longer than what i usually got out of it when it was my daily. Letting it die completely and then using the external charger does seem to extend the charge cycle a bit..but thats nothing new.

That big drop off at the end always happens to me when I upload a big video to dropbox or I sync my T-backup to dropbox.
I don't have Wifi at home.
I have seen it mentioned in here a couple times now about "letting the battery die completely" don't you all realize how HORRIBLE that is for the life of a Li-on battery?! these batteries were DESIGNED to last longer and stay "healthier" when you plug in when it gets down low on charge (say 15-5% with 5% pushing it cuz its gonna shut off real soon) tho I do understand it's difficult to gauge when to plug in using a 1800mah(aka Bh6x battery) due to inaccurate readings by the system (it's best to use a widget that will show in real time the voltage left and when it gets low throw it in charger).
ALL these battery "calibration" apps& techniques have been lieing, they almost all day to drain battery completely when that's just a bad idea (not to mention "calibration" isn't actually necessary IMO anyways)

I've done a few searches on the subject and it seems some people have the overheating issue, but not many (or its not discussed anymore).
I've had the Rezound for about a week now. It was a certified like new warranty replacement for my Thunderbolt. I have the extended battery.
I can't use the phone for more than 10-15 (sometimes more) minutes without it overheating (50° + C / 120° + F). This is normally just phone calls or twitter/internet browsing. If I play any game it's overheating every time and quickly. I'm rooted, unlocked, on just the stock ROM.
I'm curious if this is a common issue or if I possibly was provided a defective device. Would a custom ROM help?
Any insight would be much appreciated!

She runs warm, but 15 min with the extended battery sounds like a lemon. There have been multiple reports of extreme heat like that where people have traded in and no longer had the problem. Go grab a new one and see if you have better luck.
Is it gb or ics?
Had to return my first unit because its USB and/or charging system fried seemingly; it got to 130+ running heavy gaming and went 140+ overnight once on charger shortly before then.
Return it. My current unit tends to heat fast, but I run it hard too. But it only gets to 110-120 under heavy use, not running higher than 120 easily by any means. It is rather good at staying at that threshold or lower.
Thanks for the responses!

I would just get a replacment man. It could just be faulty. The newer versions of the rezound are supposed to be better then the older ones. Mine is a pre release unit, and works fine but I had experienced some overheating when I flashed a sense 4 rom, and many others didn't.

Hey guys, if you haven't guessed, I have an Evo 3D (Evo V 4G, details, details) and I've always used the extended battery from Zlaza. That worked wonderfully. Now the case for it broke and I have to get a new case or fix it. So I'm stuck on stock battery.
EDIT: For the record, I did use the regular battery for roughly two and a half weeks before jumping onboard the extended battery ship.
The Problem:
Stock battery (when I used it) never drained this rapidly. 30 Percent in two hours. I'm not streaming audio, listening to videos checking email or even browsing the web, I'm just listening to music on Poweramp. Occasionally I checked into XDA with it.
I'm on Harmonia (the, what stock should've been ROM for Virgin Mobile) using Buttered Toast Kernel clocked at stock using conservative governor. Any ideas why this might be happening? Is this normal? Have I been sucked out of the realm of normal due to having an ultra large 3460mAh battery? Keep in mind I have wiped battery stats and let it die (really easy now) then charged it up again before using it.
Any explanation would be great.
More in depth stats.

And this one was while I was flashing a ROM and jumping in and out of recovery earlier today...
https://www.box.com/s/xbv5cmil152gm78o57d1
A few thoughts:
1. Maybe the battery has gone bad (or a little bad) since you had it unused in the drawer for so long.
2. I lose quite a bit of battery every reboot.
3. I only get about 3 or so hours of screen on time when using stock battery
That's absolutely mind blowing. Nonetheless, thank you.

You could try changing your kernel and undervolting. Might help out but be sure to know what you are doing.

And undervolting is always an option, I figured using stock clock and conservative governor (along with set CPU profiles) would be enough. I may consider doing that, thanks.
Im assuming its your battery. On my evo battery life fluctuates alot. If i use it alot, i tend to get about 6-7 hours daily. If i hardly use it, it can go above 1 day. Right now im at a day and 12 hours. lol but have hardly used it
---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 AM ----------
I also think maybe you need to charge and let it discharge a couple of times since you havnt used it in a while. This should cycle it and should help the battery retain some more charge.
Hmm, that's something else that I didn't consider. I figured it would be fine because I'd used it in the past... Recalibration it is then.

Just an observation, I bought 3 extra batteries with a wall charger, my original HTC battery is now a year old and there's a noticeable difference in battery longevity, my after market batteries last 30-50 % longer, so after 1 year it's time for a new battery
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
That's always a possibility... I'm on Virgin Mobile and I got one of the Sprint Evo 3D instead of the Virgin Mobile ones... There's always the possibility that it had been lying around in a box for a year or so. Something else to consider I suppose.

Batteries normally will lose the ability of retaining a full charge after many discharge and charge cycles, lithium ion batteries are prone to this as any rechargeable battery

This is probably your problem.
Lithium Ion batteries die slowly on the shelf too. They recommend you store them at 40% if they won't be in use, but there's no perfect way of storing a battery to prevent it from going bad.
However, charging it to 100% and leaving it is apparently really bad.
Maybe you did that before switching to the bigger battery?
Ahhh yeah... that's kind of exactly what I did.
