Hi guys
I need some help my evo 3d is not charging. I upgraded clockworkmod yesterday to 5.0.2.0. My battery died while i was out but now it won't charge. I've searched and it looks like a bug in cwm but I can't find a way to kick it into life. I don't have another phone that I can use to charge it. Can anyone help?
Did you remove the battery and put it back in?
When my battery dies, the phone doesn't turn on, charge, or give me any LEDs. I have to do a battery pull to make it turn on.
So there is no red light signaling that it is charging? I ask because when my phones battery dies, I need to charge for about 10 minutes before it turns back on, but the charging light is on.

There isn't any red light signaling for me. I went through 2 Evo's and both acted as if bricked when the battery died or I completely turned the phone off. It becomes functional again with a battery pull.
Phone plugged in for half hour no red light at all. Tried pulling battery twice still nothing. From what I've read it's a bug in the new Clockworkmod for evo 3d gsm. I can't find anyway around other than to charge the battery in a different phone. This is my 1st android phone and I don't know anyone with a sensation or evo3d
Ok left battery out for the last 5mins and put phone back together left charger out and powered on. It suddenly came to life! (i'm guessing battery had a tiny bit of life left) Waited for phone to boot and now charging light is on. Phew panic over. Thanks for the help guys

Hey guys, I have a GSM evo 3d and yesterday my battery started acting really weird...
Whenever I restart my phone, it would decrease by 10%. So I started testing by restarting nonstop. The first few times the battery decreased from a 90% to a 60% after about 3 restarts. Then after that it would decrease by a 2~3% each restart. So I drained the battery yesterday evening and charged it overnight. By this morning ( 8 hours of charging ) the LED turned green as usual...then I tried restarting. Bam, instant drop to 88%. Now after restarting multiple times, my battery history graph has a bunch of random drops...(for nerds, there are many points where the derivative does not exist LOL)
This is already the second day this is happening...please help me out.
Another issue is, whenever I restart my phone and it's on the white screen with green HTC letters, the red LED light stays on for around 3 seconds. I'm using LeeDroid 2.0.0 if anyone is wondering.
Thanks!
What battery are you using?
I would start by letting the phone die, have it auto shut off. Then charge it and have it on when it is charging, have it go till the green light comes on and then some. Then let it die agien and fully charge it one last time. Let it drain slowy and with normal use.

I'm using the factory battery that came with the phone.
I'll give that a try tonight.
Did you already tried to calibrate your battery when charged to 100 percent?

Yeah I did, and I am suspecting that is what caused all this since I just calibrate it a day before this started happening.
My phone dropped to 7% battery. I let it charge for an hour with airplane mode on and it was at 4% battery. The orange light was on the whole time meaning it was charging. I then turned it off, took the battery out and it went to 13% battery. Soon it went back to 4%. I let it charge again for 2 hours this time and it hadn't moved at all and was still at 4%. I then swapped the stock battery for one from China. It started with 60% battery and after a half hour of charging it went to 54%. Why does my battery drain while it charges? I don't even use it when it's charging so I have no idea why it's draining. I'm running stock ics but it's rooted with 4ext. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Charge with AC not through an USB plugged to your computer. Your phone is using more battery than the USB port can provide. If you plug it in through the normal AC charger, it should be fine, as it gives out 1.0A, while USB ports typically give out anywhere between 200 to 500mA (at its absolute maximum).
I am using the ac. That message even appears when I use the ac.
Have you tried turning it of and charging?

I have tried that and it only turns on to what the battery was at before. As I typed this I went from 54% to 21% in about 10 minutes. This is really starting to piss me off. My phone cannot hold a charge. My motorola from 8 years ago could at least hold a charge. This is ridiculous. Thanks so far for the help.
Are you using the factory Amaze Cord to charge your phone?
My factory amaze cord stopped charging via ac. I had it plugged into the wall and it would say usb charging so I'm using a different kind of cord. I've never had a problem using my sisters blackberry cord plugged into the usb converter to ac.
Maybe....just maybe...your devices charging port is defected...
I have some charger from China that goes from the wall straight to my phone without using that charging port and it doesn't charge it either.
China should only be used for one thing...Chinese People
I tried another one of my batteries that had a 60% charge. Within 10 minutes the battery was dead. I have it charging and the orange led is flashing. I waited 20 minutes and tried turning it on. After several presses of the power button it finally turns on. As soon as it gets to the home screen the low battery sound beeps and it shuts down. Seriously what am I supposed to do? This is getting ridiculous.
Thanks.
Have you looked into doing a warranty exchange...

I have not. This has only happened 3 times or so since I got it a week or so after launch. I didn't suspect it to be a hardware problem. I think the person who suggested the bad power port was correct because my Chinese charger charged it full perfectly and it's been good. It just has to be held at a certain angle to charge. I'm going to go to Telus and try and get a new power port and see, maybe I could get an exchange. I have it rooted though, so would I have to unroot it get the exchange?
Thanks.
Step one, dim the phones lighting.
Then check to see if there's an app keeping the phone awake causing it to drain battery while charging,
If its not an app keeping it awake then you my friend are one of the unlucky owners of this picky phone...

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 ?
Hey, I have been having problem with my phone for the past 2 weeks in terms of charging it. Sometimes it charges when I plug it in to a charger and the next day when I plug it again, the red light lights indicating it is charging but it really doesn't. So when I plug it in to a different wall outlet, it charges and when I do the same the next day it doesn't. Not until a switch a wall outlet. I don't really know what could the problem be, I have tried a htc charger and a third party charger, both are giving me the same results. I even flashed different ROMS and KERNELS to see if the problem resolves but it doesn't. Please I don't know what the problem might be, I mean the red light even turns on, but sometimes it charges and sometimes doesn't.
When it does not charge even after charging it a couple of hours, note the current battery level then restart the phone and take a look at battery meter again, it should indicate it correctly. Something similar happened to me due to a bad battery.
I've done that, but it doesn't change. For example last night I used my phone till 6 percent, put it on charge, woke up this morning and saw that it was dead. This happened before too but I didn't completely use my phone till 6 percent, usually around 20 and it just wouldn't charge. So I would have to move to a different wall outlet to charge it.
maybe your battery has gone bad ? o.0 try a new battery
Yea I suppose that is the only option I have left . Thanks for helping

Any answer may apply to this question doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, but what if its not the battery? could it be the pin inside my phone that maybe messed even though the red light turns on?
Bought new battery, and everything was fine for a few days.
Now it charges to 99% and the LED is always red, it never switches to green to indicate its fully charged like it did before, even with this replacement battery it turned green after fully charging.
Rebooted the phone, no help.
Put in the old battery, it charged to 85% and LED turned green. Ok, so the phone isn't crazy, maybe new batt needs recalibrating or something?
Ideas?
