Phone doesn't charge fully? - HTC EVO 3D

When charging my phone the light turns green when the battery reaches 91. How can I get it to charge fully so I can calibrate my battery?

When this happens, I simply unplug it...wait a few seconds then plug it back in and it goes to 100.

When I do that the light still remains green. Does yours do that as well?

I have never heard that the battery stop charging at 91% . It usually around 98, 99%. But as the other guy said unplug and plug it back the light will turn orange again and charging till 100%. According to HTC if battery stops charging b4 100% it means that the battery is over heating.

I unplugged it then plugged it back in, and it worked. However, it has been at 99% for awhile now. It wont go to 100%. Could that just be bc it needs to be calibrated?

No, it is to prevent overcharging.
The battery gets to just before 100% and then stops charging. It then stays on the green light until it runs down to about 90%, and then starts charging again.
When you've seen it at 91% with the green light on, it's in it's run down phase before it starts charging again.
leave it a little longer and when it's around 98/99% unplug it.

This is a issue only on AOSP. I've noticed this while using CM7. I'm going to post this issue in toast thread and see what kind of answers I get.
My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! Screw Tupac. "A,O,S,P BACK!" >_<

This happens on the stock ROMs as well. At least, the GSM 3D and Sensation both display this behaviour on stock ROMs.

Battery stop charging at 100%?

So does the Evo 3d use the same charging method as the og evo?

I don't know if they did anything differently, but I definitely don't notice the typical 100-90 drop (or avalanche) like with the EVO.
Simple answer, of course its the same.
long answer..not answering, haha
Of course battery stops charging at 100%. Its full. What do you want it to goto 101%

You guys know what he means... geeez. the Evo would read 100% when it would actually be anywhere from 90-100% (before the awesome SBC kernels)
I would also like to know how the charging cycles work on the 3D, I would hope it is different.
its not actually going to charge to 100%, these battery's don't do that, hurts the life of the battery.
what does the phone actually say? Can't say I know, but it doesn't really matter what it say's, its still functionally the same.
I guess ill have to test this out and see

without the battery widget the bar can show at 100% and still be charging till the light turns green.
the battery bar in settings changes too 100% when it reaches 91%
99%-100% takes the longest for the device to register.
The E3D takes longer to charge than my evo with the extended battery
OK. My battery just charged to 100% and I went into battery widget app and it shows that the phone is no longer charging and turns off just like the EVO and starts to discharge...

ok after a few days i've noticed that the green indicator light comes on when its fully charged. when i power it down to charge i cant seem to get it to turn green... has anyone else experienced this?
Let me see if I can shed some light on this.
When I plug my EVO 3D in, it'll go up to 100% and the red light will turn to green. If I leave it on my charger and check on it a bit later, I notice that the battery % will go down to about 95% and then it'll go back up to 100%.
So from my initial observations, it looks like the kernel is very similar to the EVO 4G's SBC kernels. It's quite possible that it is SBC but I guess we won't be able to completely figure it out until HTC releases the kernel source code.
My .02. Hope this sheds some light for others of you to pay attention to

This how li-ion batteries are supposed to be charged, sbc kernels prevented it from ever turning the charger off so it kept feeding the battery power after it was at 100%
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Not like sbc, its like the bump charging method.
Og evo went down to 90 then back to 100, so if it only goes down to 95 thats better at least. Sure its not "100" percent of all the battery life... but its 100% of the advertised battery life.
Definitely noticed that it doesn't have that significant drop from overcharging. The battery will stop charging at 100%, discharge, and top off as needed. Much better than what we saw on the Evo.
had battery at 1% , plugged it in , 6 hours later it was at 73%... that normal?

on USB power? yeah
in ac power ...
last night it was about 37% when i put it on charger 8 hours later its at 98%
it charges fine, no need for sbc

Battery charging

Anyone. Each else noticed that the battery charges strange..
With battery monitor the monitor is all over the place up and down
I know this is a bigger battery.. But did they sprint or htc change how the phone charges?
E3D
Mine doesn't exactly do that, but I swear I have yet to see mine say 100%. It stays at 99 forever and then the light just turns green.
That's how you keep a battery properly charged. You top it off every so often. You will overcharged the battery if you keep pumping it while its at 100%. So you hit 99-100 let it drop to 97-98, rinse and repeat.
Can I get a ROOT canal for my 3vo cavity?

No.
Li-Ion batteries and the chargers have a cut off built in that automatically do this to prevent overcharge.
I'll post a screen shot later if i can.. What application allows it with out root.

It's fine, once your phone is at 100% it'll let itself discharge till it is at 95%, and then it will charge back to 100%. It'll keep doing this till it is removed from the charger. Harmless is to say.
Someone already stated the answer in here.
Yeah, something is different though. This morning my phone was plugged in and everything and it hadn't hit the green light yet but just stopped charging. The battery icon didnt show that it was charging like it should while plugged in either. Plugged it in and it eventually started again.
well, my first evo3d woudlnt hit 100 and i let it charge immediatly.
my 2nd evo3d was used right away.. i let it drop to 5% then charged it to 100%.. this time, it actually showed 100% .. now the battery sips down by 1% at a time. feels good.. only problem now is that i have a different screen vs my first 3d.. the whites arent as bright.. feels like the whole damn epson vs novatec again.. grrr
There seems to be some logic in the battery charging algorithm that reduces the draw from the charger when it gets close to 100%. Using battery monitor widget, I can see that it charges at 900ma or so when just plugged in but this drops to a mere 30ma when it's at 99%. That's why it takes forever to get to 100%.

[Q] Weird battery behaviour

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.

Battery

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 ...

Issue with battery? 99% for 20+ minutes?

I'm trying to charge my battery to 100% and it's been sitting at 99% for a good while now. My battery life has been pretty abysmal and I've been trying to figure out if it's the apps I have installed or if it's the actual batter on the phone.
Does anyone know a lot about batteries? Is this normal? Does this mean I should seek a replacement?
So, 99% charge on the 5v/1a charger for a good 20 minutes now, still at 99%.
Phone will die in 6-8 hours.
Sometimes phone shuts off when still reading 4% battery left.
What's the prognosis docs?
Charging from 99% to 100% usually takes a while but even more so on HTC phones. Just give it a while until it shows 100% and the led light turns green.

It's been an hour lol.
Unplug it then plug it back in, it will jump to 100%.
it does that really slow because it's at a trickle charge above like 95%. so it's not pulling at 1amp anymore, and it slowly hits 100. it's a safety measure so that it doesn't stay at 100% all the time
Yeah, that happens on all phones. It shouldn't take an hour, though. Try what orangechoochoo said, just unplug it and plug it back in.
I know on my ipod and on my friends' iphones, if you unplug it while it's in the 99%-~100% zone it'll drop down to like 90% since it's not "really" charged. I think sometimes the battery % while charging is just a little optimistic.
it might not actually be sitting at 99, unless you've actually just been watching the percentage for the full hour. i've seen on other phones that it will go back and forth bw 99 and 100 once it hits a certain point
