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.

I cannot get the phone to charge to 100%. it charges to 96% and turns the light green. only when I charge with phone turned off and unplug/plug after its on green, I can get it to 100%. Any advice on how to fix this?

No fix, its a bug.
What's even more funny my lockscreen will say 92% and Beautiful Widgets battery meter will say 88%. WTF!
What I found with mine, is it will charge to 100% and shut charging down, and then the charger won't pick back up until it drains back down to 95%. So I wake up in the morning and its at 96-97% instead of 100% like other phones I've had.
Its probably something to do with the kernel, just another reason we need full root and s-off.

It's not a bug, HTC designed it that way intentionally. The Evo 4g did the same thing as the 3D. Mine will hit 100% but then it's designed to stop charging until the battery has fallen back down to 96%. Fortunately, this isn't a very long cycle since these phones don't sleep while charging... now that's a bug.
It's typical gingerbread behavior..
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
I have had my White AT&T Note for about a week. It is running Saurom RCV with the HoloNote kernel OCed to 1782mHz. I am having a really weird battery issue where it will drain to about 5% in a couple of hours regardless of what I am doing to it, then that 5% will last the rest of the day but the phone, thinking the battery is about to die, wont let me do anything (ie. listen to music or take a picture). Then, yesterday it started not charging all the way, it will stop at about 94% and then the notification that its fully charged will come up. No matter what I do it will not go past 94%. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
have you try to recalibrate your battery stats through CWM?
try that first........charge your battery to full......clear stats....drain all the battery...then recharge to full......that should help you with ur problem
First take the battery out and make sure you don't see anything on the contacts (phone or battery). Then leave the phone on until it dies on its own - easiest if you use something that will keep the screen on. Then charge overnight, unplug, replug and let it charge again until it stops. Turn it on, go through your day and report back.
I have tired both of your suggestions. I left it streaming a movie from Netflix and it took two movies at full brightness (or as full as it would let me) to kill off the last 5%. I apologize as I should have specified that I am posting on here having already tried conventional calibration techniques. Also, the stopping at 94% only started AFTER I used CWM to reset the battery stats.

I've never used CWM. Have you tried using it again?
I have noticed another "quirk", it seems that when my phone is sleeping for a long period of time, more than an hour, it will usually display more percentage than when I set it down. For instance I decided not to charge it last night as I was hoping it would die in the night however when I got up this morning it read 51% whereas it was at 26% when I left it. I am starting to think that there is something wrong with the hardware. Opinions?

I didn't nitice this till last Tuesday. I forgot to charge my note the night before, and when I woke up I had 19% left. Around 10am I received a notification that my battery is critically low. I wasn't going home till 12, and I was texting heavily for 2 hours through whatsapp on 4g network, and nothing, the phone didn't turn off. I got home and plugged it in while it was still on. The only thing the phone did was turn down the brightness completely, im not sure if that 's the reason for the extra 2 hours, but that seems too much. Before i plugged in the phone it had 23 hours on battery with 4 hours 44 mins screen on time.

Has anybody experienced any of these issues on a stock note? Also, I tend to agree, if Samsung had really figured out a way to make the end of the battery last that long we probably wouldn't be having this issue.

I exchanged my Note for a replacement at the store and that has made a world of difference. It would seem that my suspensions about my hardware were correct. If you are having the same issues I recommend a replacement.
Thanks!
How come the battery stops charging at 98% I've wiped battery bin and Ive been through three cycle's I let my battery drain down until the evo shuts off and then I remove the battery and putt it back in and power up on to see if it will turn on and it doesnt then I plug it in and let it charge while the evo is powered off and I would let it charge until I see the green light and then I power up only to find out it stopped charging at 97% hmmm thats very strange why is that ?

fyi...the battery fully charges to 100% and then starts discharging back down to about 95/97% and then back up when it is plugged in. safety feature so you don't fry the battery. it is normal.
Ok thanks for the reply

When the battery reaches 98% unplug your charger and then reconnect it. It should take about 30 to 40 min to hit 100%.

You can do what he said Works well.. Also it should charge to 100 all on it's own and turn green ...
Hello!I have a simple question.I have rooted my EVO 3D and I have installed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604500.Ever since then,after overnight charges,in the morning the LED that indicates charging is green but when I start the phone I see the battery is between 65-70% charged.I believe this is software related.Is there anything I can do about this?Also,when I plug it in,the red LED goes on,then shuts off,then goes back on.Is there any problem with my phone or ROM?Thanx

Hi! I am not positive about this but i heard that if you don't charge your phone 100% before installing a rom or the battery % before installing the rom will be the highest the charging goes too. Hoped this helped!

Nah that's false.

I've had the same problem I let my battery drain down to 15% and then I deleted the battery stats and I let it charge 98% and I've found that the EVO has a charging script of some kind that want let the EVO charge to 100% and that also keeps it from over charging so for me to charge to 100% when it stops at 98% I have to unplug and plug it back in and then it will charge to 100% I hope this helps

My evo charges to a 100% without any issues. I've had to do the unplug and replug for like the first 3 months of having the phone. Now it charges regularly. Also I've never wiped battery stats.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
Dai un wipe la battery stats.
Asa imi face si mie.
well heres what my evo does... i charge it to 100% and aprox 5-10 minutes at a time it goes down in percentage 99% 98% 97% the lowest i have seen it go is 95%
i've reset the battery stats occasionaly and we all know when you flash a new rom and wipe battery stats go with all the cleaning
i also got a new anker battery
let me know!
I have done the wipe battery stats thingy(which involves charging to 100,wipe stats for recovery,let it drain to 0,charge to 100) and it still makes this annoying thing.If it's off it only charges to 65%,if it's on,it goes all 100.What can I do?
I am running Shooter BEATS NG
Flash another Rom and see what happens

I had the draining to 95% when charged problem until I flashed the new ICS ROM leak, now my Evo charges to 100% and stays there.
