HI! I have a problem with my EVO 3D GSM (well maybe its not a problem )
Lets see, when i am charging the E3D GSM all goes correctly till it gets to 100% when the green light get on, then the phone doesnt charge more, but the green light still on.. why? I have to say that this happenes whit it still connected and charging, but doesnt continue charging... why¿
It has Overcharge Protection built in.
and that means??? what we have to do for take it off? and any problem if we take it off?? sorry but first time i heard about it...
It's an overcharge protection chip built into the battery to keep it from being damaged.

Does it ever just get to a 100% without having to do that? Or am I doing something wrong I used superwipe and then flashed it with no modification stock kernel and everything.

its normal. from what i understand its a kernel thing. not trickle charging but lets its go down to some percentage then charges back up again . read what ms79723 has to say about it

So I thought I'd calibrate my battery today... I completely drained it, powered it up like 10 times so it had no battery left. Then I took out the battery for one minute, inserted right back and plugged the phone to the wall charger. It has been charging for about 5 hours(I think more) and still the led hasn't turned green
When I touch the back of the phone it's warm so that means it's charging still... Is this normal when calibrating the battery or should I try starting it to check the battery condition and forget about calibrating? Thanks in advance.
edit: ok, I unplugged the charger cuz I have to go out... and the red led was still going... no wonder :/ So remove/reisnert battery, boot up android from nand. Battery 99% already I guess this calibration has pretty much failed right?
So no one knows anything about this? I tried to calibrate again last night... The red led again got stuck. What could be the cause of this? I reflashed radio recently so I don't think that's it.
Does anyone has any advice? I will try charging with power on, see if it will fully charge and if green led will turn on. And then again with power off without letting the battery be drained completely and see what happens. I hope nothing's wrong cuz I'd hate to have to return it
I also would like to know this.

Tried this aswell n the phone was on 99%. the voltage was also wrong when its 100% (4197, i beleive its ment to be around 42xx or 43xx). Tried deleting batterystat.bin from system but not sure i followed the right procedure after that (take bat out, charge, deplete, charge). a dedicated thread for this would be nice.
Did you try leaving the phone off and leaving it on charge until the LED changed to green. u may have to leave it over night. 15+ hours. Not sure if this works.
I tried it. The thing is the led wont turn green. When the phone is off and charging the led wont ever turn green and when I pull the cable out the red led doesn't turn off. It get stuck until I remove hte battery.
However when the phone is on and charging the led WILL turn green. I'm getting crazy over this. Can sb plz heeeeeelp?

You wont be able to do a calibration in NAND Android, which i'm guessing you are using, because i have the same problem.
The only way to properly charge the battery and get the green light is to wake up the device, plug the charger while the screen is on and leave it charging.
I got 50 hours +10% out of moderate use with one full charge - phone on, and i am happy. Same as WinMo ROM.
I haven't seen a solution for this one yet, but i hope someone is working on it.
oh, thanks so much for clearing this up. Yes I have nand android too. I'm not complaining about battery life, it's very good. I just did the battery calibration out of curiosity and bumped into this issue. Glad it's not hardware or battery related and I hope someone fixes it eventually.
Sometimes when i plug my other evo 3d in to charge it the light flashs red green red green when its pluged in ti charge?? And where it shows how much battery is left there is an exclamtion piont threw the battery?? It go's away and comes back.. Has anybody ever heard of this happening?? I try to flash diff roms and nothing seems to make it stop?? ITS HAPPENING TO THE EVO 3D THAT IM SELLING SO I NEED TO FIX SO I CAN SELL IT.. I DONT WANT TO SELL IT LIKE THIS..
Its a faulty battery...try wedging something between the bottom of the battery to make sure the problem is not cuz the battery's loose. I had the same problem when I first got the phone. Wut I did wuz replace the battery n that did it for me. So your problem is the battery not the phone.

The issue you're having is very similar to what happened to my laptop. I would plug my laptop in and it would give me the charge icon for a split second, then it would disappear. If i moused over the battery, it said "x% (not charging)"
The battery still worked to power my laptop without any issue (until I drained it completely) but it wouldn't charge, whether it was on or off, and I even installed Ubuntu as a dual boot just to see if it was an OS issue (which I knew it wasn't in the back of my mind, but I didn't want to believe it). Sounds like you need a new battery.
So guys.... I woke up this morning and my phone was dead. Last night I plugged it in and it was charging normal (I used a new USB cable and not the one I am using a year now)... Anyway I woke up this morning and I pressed the power button and nothing came up.... I took off its battery and pressed the power button for a bit....then plugged the battery back in and the usb as well.... A dim red light came on....and then the usual charging light came on as well for 2-3 secs...and then it died.
I also tried to plug it on my computer....and the phone turned on and went to HTC white screen for 2 secs and then it turned off as well...
I am not sure what else can I do so if someone has any idea can you please enlighten me....because I am going nuts without my 3D!
The phone is s-off with clockwork recovery and cool ICS rom...and it was working perfectly.
PS: I noticed there are some red stripes on the battery...on the water indicator..is that okay?
That happened to me when my battery was severely drained, I needed a clip charger to charge the battery... Now I do not let my phone go off due to battery drain... Because it will happen again.. I believe that your battery is also degrading.... Just like mine. It is not also advisable that you use a different charger especially if the output power does not match. So don't let it go off again due to battery drain. Just my experience.

I am using that apple charger for like 4 years now on different HTC models...no problem at all... I think that new USB cable did the damage....the phone wasn't charging... and it drained the battery down...

yes please..... because its driving me nuts...that dim red light and the bright one for 2 secs is a kick in the head for me!!! hahaha btw its kinda odd that it tried to start on my computer USB??? it flashed the HTC screen for 2 secs !!
Just install 4EXT recovery as soon as your phone boots and you're good to go without the drain bug forever

One thing you can do now is really to charge with a clip charger. Unless you want to wait forever charging the battery in the phone. Because your priority is to make your phone boot. When you made your phone boot you can then charge normally.
well guys you are not going to believe it.... I plugged my phone in to its HTC charger and went downstairs to eat...in the mean time...I switched on my tabled GSM module (I have 2 sim cards with the same number...)...so i went upstairs again and called my number to see if my tablet will pick up the call..... and my phone suddenly started ringing! Anyway problem solved with patience!
My EVO 3d's battery rundown and eventually went off. When I plug in the charger, the LED flashes about 6x and then goes off. Left it on AC overnight and yet the phone can't boot. What does this mean and how do i fix it?

Can you access bootloader?
And does your phone goes to black screen?
No but, Now it is charging now after i just put in a different SIM card... Baffles me though as to why it had to take that for it to start charging...
Since I updated using the RUU from the HTC site about a month ago, I no longer get a green light to indicate charging is complete. When I unplug it from the charger, the red light stays on indefinitely. When I finally do turn on the phone, I have a full battery.
Any ideas?
How much time do you charge?
Oh and by the way, you know that 100% battery is only a myth ?
I understand that, but I'd at least like to see the green light come on when it's close as it is designed to do... and for the red light to go out when it's unplugged. I usually charge the phone when I get home from work and don't unplug it for about 12-15 hours.

Proably the RUU didn't managed to put the file correctly on the phone. Happens run it again, plug the USB Cable into a 2.0 port and don't even move it to the right or the left, it could affect data flow. Happened to me, ended up with a black screen, good thing mine was charged to a 100% before I run the RUU so I was still able to boot into fastboot.
