Hi to all,
Recently, my rooted Evo 3d's battery died twice (by died I mean the phone shut down and I couldn't put it to charge at least in 5 hours) but when I try to charge the phone as usual, it wouldn't charge. The orange light would light for a few seconds than go off. Therefore phone wouldn't boot up.
I must admit as both were agonizing, the fist one was thrilling. I thought I had bricked my phone whatsoever but started to search for the answers throughout the web. The first time was luck but I guess I have solved the problem in the second time.
First of all the problem is caused by clockworkmod. However, it doesn't charge the phone when it isn't in hibernation. To overcome the problem, I have tried to;
- Take out my sd card and charge or boot
- Charge it for the overnight - even though it said it wasn't charging - which is the case.
- Take the battery out and try to boot or charge. - no luck I must have tried it for 100's of times.
- Leave the battery for 10 mins. and try to charge again.
- all the combinations.
But the solution was simple;
SOLUTION: Connect the phone to your computer. You will hear that usb is connected. The orange light will go out but don't bother. Let it charge for 15 mins. than disconnect, take the battery out, then put it in and boot. Voila!! When the phone is up, charge it with your desired charger.

Good to know you solved your problem!
It really sounds like there is something wrong with the phone.....unless I'm mistaken ,you should she able to charge from any source ....usb or wall ...at anytime.....
I have read a considerable amount of people who have changed the phone over this. But if you have a rooted 3d with clockworkmod, it is free to try. Just after shutting it down, take your battery and wait for few seconds - just to make sure it isn't in hibernation, - than put it in and try to charge without booting. Will it??

Hello,
I just bot an evo 3d with cwm already installed. It has the same issue with not being able to charge when powered off.
Is there a cwm version that doesn't have this issue? My other friends modded evo 3d doesn't have this charging issue...

So the past two nights iv let my rezound battery go dead. The problem is it wont charge a dead battery. It charges if there is some battery and its on but when it is dead it is dead. The fix was I had to put the rezound battery in my tbolt to get a little bit of juice.
Any ideas or similar problems? I am unlocked with the htc unlock tool and running nils business sense?
Could it be a rom bug?
Don't let your battery die. It's bad for it anyway.

Once the battery is dead what does the LED on the phone do? If it blinks for a while it is either too hot or too dead to turn on, but it can still charge eventually. If the LED is not coming on at all I would pull the battery out and connect the charger with no battery and see if the LED comes on. If still no luck, get a new charger.
Blinks then Charges
I had the battery die on me once (on a prior battery and prior rezound). The phone will blink orange for a WHILE (I tried 3 different chargers not knowing what it was), but eventually started to charging. I think patience is needed. If, after 15 minutes, you still aren't charging, then that's something (but longer if the phone was also hot).
If I hit he power button with or without the battery in the led will light for a short time. I had it plugged in all night and no charge. I used two different plugs.
As for not letting it die. I know its not ideal but I couldn't help it.

+1. Same thing here.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
I let my phone die completely once. I freaked out that my phone wasn't charging. I went onto HTC's site and it said that it could take 20 or more for the led to turn on while charging if the phone was completely dead. Just plug it in and be patient. It will charge and the led will eventually turn on.

I had this problem too, and am a little concerned I have a defective phone
So I had this issue happen this weekend. My daughter was using the phone when it died. Couldn't get it restarted. (I am unlocked via HTC, stock ROM with bloat removed. Phone is a week old.)
After messing with it using the factory charger/cable and other chargers/cable combinations I got nothing. Light would only intermittently come on for a second or two then go back off.
I charged it over night with the factory charger/cable. Didn't work the next day. Charged it all day and night with my old charger/cable that I know works. Didn't work.
Tried multiple variations of taking out the Battery/Sim/SD card and using the plug-in chargers & CPU USB variations with no success.
Luckily, I had ordered a new spare battery and it came in the mail before I returned the phone. Plugged it and it started up fine.
But my concern is that my phone is not properly charging. I have also had other similar charging/battery life issues that raise concern.
As far as not letting it die, **** happens and phones die, if this is a reoccurring problem, that in my mind is pretty unacceptable. A phone should charge when its plugged in no matter what. I may end up returning it to see If just got a defective phone/battery.
My phone will turn on then off and im starting to think it has something to do with the battery. But when it started it was in tue yelllow on the status bar, now i have it charging without being turned on and the indicator light is on but hopping mine will fire up soon. This all just happened to me within the last two hours lol, already called verizon to get a replacement but still going down there tomorrow.

--I agree, but once it gets down to 5%, why not just turn it off knowing the problems people are having so wide spread now.
Under the exact same conditions I have had the same problem with a warm battery reboot. It seems to occur when you are talking on the phone and let it die. Once it dies the phone will not reboot. My wife has the exact same phone. When I put her battery in my phone the phone works fine. My wife’s phone dies every night and she simply plugs it in the wall and it charges no problem. Again the conditions seem to be related to the battery dying while it is hot. If the battery dies while the phone is cool and not used then it seems to reboot no problem. I will go to Verizon tomorrow to look for a fix. I will let you know what happens.
I'm also having this problem but i can return my phone because i unlock it or can i return it ?
Check and see if your battery is 3.7 or 3.8v . I wonder if it is related to the charging issue with the 3.8v battery some people seem to be having.

I had this happen, and here is what worked:
Unplug charger
remove battery
plug charger in
insert battery (while charger is plugged in)
I got an immediate orange LED and after a little while I was able to run the phone back on.

I had the same issue with my OG Droid. Would kill the battery and it would stay dead, even after a whole night of charging. The above method seemed to work for me.
I make 100% sure mine never goes totally dead after an experience I had with my Droid Charge.
I accidentally let it die completely (I fell asleep when it was almost dead & it ran all night). The next morning it was off, I put in a fully charged battery & it fired right up but started FCing like crazy. Every single thing I clicked on force closed immediately, I had never seen anything like it.
I was running a custom ROM & kernel & had done a nandroid BU the day before. I restored the BU & the phone ran perfectly again, but that scared me enough that I made darn sure it never happened again LOL........

Holy ****!!! I think I may have found the fix! I have had the same exact problem as everyone in here. It seems to happen once I root. My Rezound would die completely, then after plugging it in, the light would come on for 5 seconds or less then shut off. I plugged it into my computer and Windows makes the USB Connected sound, so I figured something is happening.
I went into my command prompt and *adb devices*. It showed my device, but says in recovery mode. I then *adb reboot bootloader* and the bastard rebooted into bootloader! From there, I chose "REBOOT" and it fired right back up! Anyone who is having this problem, please try this and let me know if it works for you!
***UPDATE***
It appears when the battery dies all the way and then doesn't charge, the phone is automatically going into recovery mode even though nothing shows on the screen. I had my SIM card out when I tried this the first time, then when putting my SIM back in, it started doing the same thing. But again, it was going directly into recovery mode. This time, I tried a simple *adb reboot* and BAM! I'm back up and running! Again, let me know if this works for you, or if you need help doing this, let me know.

Yes... HTC phones never charge "powered off" When you turn it off and then put it on the charger, it is actually entering/booting a special screen off recovery mode during charging.
CWM recovery on the rezound has trouble charging a completely dead battery.
Use Amon RA recovery.
Hi guys,
please help if you can!
My One X+ intl. is dead!
battery fully drained.
tried to plug it in to a wall chager, my PC USB, another charger ----> NADA.
device not responding to anything.
anything I could do at home before sending it to a lab?
IMPORTANT - i was on CM10 with a specific kernel I flashed.
if someone will do a factory reset (with full data wipe), will it reboot to stock properly or go in to bootloop?
what should I do when in order to go back to stock\another ROM properly from this situation?
here is the full details:
I read few threads regarding this issue from the One X forums and nothing came up.
From this morning (in the minute i woke up) my One X+ was hot.
after disconeccting it from the charger, i have noticed it drains battery really fast.
Tried to charge it, showing its charging but it kept going down (2 % in a minute while screen is on).
when it came to 7% i turned it off, waited half an hour for it to charge and turned him on again.
it booted with 2%.
after turn it off again - never came up again

You did not search much then if you are still asking how to go back to stock. Run the RUU for your particular model and it will take you back to stock. But this sounds like a small problem if you can not charge your phone. Before anyone tells you to, you are on the international version of the phone so TWRP is fine and not your issue. It sounds like there is something physically broken on your phone or you flashed something very very wrong.
right listen up, i have the international HOX+ my battery died the other day to ZERO, if you actually read the TWRP thread, you would see all you have to do is plug the charger in, hold power for 10seconds to exit offmode charging and boot. Simple. and don't say it cant be done because it can be, i do it often.
Thanks for helping guys.
much appreciated.
It seem the device got overheated and that what made this issue.
I don't have warranty since I unlocked the bootloader so I took it to a private shop.
I raised this Q because I was affraid someone from this shop would do a factory reset. Didn't knew if it causes to bootloop.
Took precaution and told them not to.

tried it like a hundred time with 3 different charges.
Also tried entering bootloader, the first time I tried it blinked as if it was really going to boot and then died.
if i were u i will keep it on it's original charger for 16+ hours after that the red LED indicator will appear ... if that happens your phone not fully bricked and it can be recovered
Lame of HTC to kick the can down the road. They know it is a problem with the drivers/device.
One X had issues also early on.
Mine literally worked fine from my One X and car bluetooth, then to the One X+, crackling etc...after pairing in the audio and general poor sound.
Mic works fine and the other end doesn't know it.
Guess we will just have to wait and see. Or just go back to the One X....
Hey guys and gals
this is my first post here. although a lot here is about rooted devices with custom ROMs, I hope you can help me out - you sure have a lot of expertise here compared to many other forums.
For the past two days I've been running into some of the weirdest problems with my Galaxy S2. Before i go into detail, here is the summary:
1. Screen time-out doesn't work while device is not plugged to a charger or computer
2. Notification shows 100% charge for a very long time (hours after heavy usage)
3. Not sure if charging actually works
4. Booting up seems to fail when not connected to a charger
it started yesterday when I noticed the phone light up and say it was charging. The problem is it wasn't - it was in my pocket.
Then I noticed that the screen didn't time out. I changed the setting, nothing - it remained on. I could push the power to make the screen turn off and on again but it wouldn't time out itself.
The charging info went away... at some point. I left it to charge over night and in the morning it indeed showed 100% in the notification bar. The problem is it remained 100% for A LONG time. In the settings menu under the battery it says it has been running on batter for 0 secs and showed 100% charge. For hours... There were no info about any apps or function using the battery. that part was clear.
Then i discovered that the screen time out problem goes away while connecting the charger or via USB to a PC. Then it times out. As soon as i unplug the charger it never times out....
I'm actually not sure if the charging works. Indeed it shows charging but sometimes it magically reaches 100% rather quickly.
Because I suspected a battery fault I used another battery. let it drain completely and then tried to recharge. Can't - when booting it shows a battery icon with question mark and then goes to show that the battery is 100% charged. Then the question mark and then 100% again. Seems to be in some sort of loop.
I've done the factory reset, I had a new firmware installed via Odin just in case. The problem still remains.
Booting the device seems to be an issue and only work with charger or USB cable attached. Ot it will be in that "what battery" and "100% charge" cycle...
I've searched high and low today but couldn't find anyone with the same problem.
Have any of you an idea? Really down't want to get a new phone! Seems to be a very bad month going on because a few weeks ago I had really serious issues with my brand new hybrid camera which i have to buy ... again! sold it for parts for pocket money....
Any help would be really appreciated! thanks!
That's really strange....try getting out the battery,charge it to max va an external charger,or borrow a friend's Galaxy S2.Leave the phone withou battery for an hour.Then when you put it in,go to recovery,and "wipe battery stats"(Root it if it's not).See if that works.

How long have you had the phone? The usb flex cable has issues over time. A symptom of this is the charging when not connected to the charger.
If it is this issue the part is cheap (around 5$ I believe).
I read loads of similar issues, but mine is a little different:
I heavily used my stock-rom, unrooted phone today, recorded long videos in Full HD, when I got back home, I had 18% battery, plugged it into my computer's USB to get the videos (unaware of the issue of insufficient current on USB ports) and windows did not recognize it.
I then unplugged it planning to plug it into the wall socket, and when I woke the phone, it died on my arms
A little annoyed, I plugged it into the wall socket, and got the slow, orange blinking LED, and was not able to turn the phone on. After 30 minutes, the LED stabilized and it seemed to be charging (while off), so I left it there for another 20 minutes.
When I tried to turn the phone on, it worked, normally, but showed 2% battery life remaining. I had Wi-Fi on, but normally it wouldn't be an issue, so I left it charging for another 20 minutes.
I then woke the device and it showed 1% battery left! While plugged in! I tried to wake it and it died again.
I left it there for an hour or so, turned it back on, 6% battery left, I then turned Airplane Mode on so it would charge faster. After 10 minutes in Airplane Mode, it still shows 6%. It is not charging, I'm using the original HTC charger and cable.
It seems like it is not charging at all when on, and charging VERY slowly when off.
Tried a few tricks I read online, such as holding the volume up + volume down + power button for 2 minutes, but all I got was a steady flashing recovery screen, which says my battery is too low for flashing.
So the difference between mine and other posts is that my stock phone is turning on, but not charging anymore. If I turn Airplane Mode off, it drains itself even while plugged into the charger.
I'm really looking for a solution for this, instead of simply returning it (it's more than one year old, and I bought it overseas) or buying a new phone.
EDIT: Battery Widget app showed Charging Speed: n/a. Testing says battery health: good, 3666 mv, "charging" status
EDIT II: Tried running it in Recovery Mode, got a 3d exclamation point with a phone icon. Rebooted it normally, it turns back on, still not charging. This does not look good at all.
EDIT III: Read about Mr Hofs idea, of running custom recovery via the PC, but I can't get it to connect. Have newest version of Sync Manager yet windows says the "device malfunctioned" and could not be recognized.
EDIT IV: Done factory reset, no luck. Phone is still draining while plugged in. After 8 hours of charging while off, all I got was 40/50% I'm really desperate as the phone is virtually bricked and I need it for work. Willing to tip/donate to whoever finds solution, if that is ok according to forum rules (not sure)

Back to the blinking led
I tried plugging the phone into the computer's USB port, got the red blinking led again. Held the volume down + power button while connected to the PC and it seemed to be constantly rebooting - windows popped up "device not recognized" several times and the power led started flashing much slowlier. Sometimes the lower leds would also flash. I held it like that for 2 minutes.
After a while the lower lads and the screen backlight lit up. I then realeased the buttons and quickly plugged it into the wall socket.
Now I have the fast blinking again. Awesome. I can't tell if I'm doing it right or brutally murdering my phone
You might just factory reset once your charged as .much as you can. I believe your problem. Is having to do with using or somehow got a bad current or USB port/cord etc. Anyway its software related and a hard reset doesn't help I'd RMA ..you go flashing mods to do yourself probably won't work especially if its hardware. Hope this helps. I say this as it happened to me. I used a lower amp wire charger socket. Same thing happened. After many hours of trying stuff. Factory reset never used bad or non OEM again. But in your case it may be just some IDD quirk. It happens bro. Hope you get it up and running. ..

Left it charging while off overnight, now I have 40% (!) battery. Any time I try flashing the default recovery, it'll show a red exclamation. The PC won't recognize it at all, even with downloaded drivers. And doind all that seem to have drained it to 30%.
Will try to get my important files and then factory reset it.

Done factory reset, no luck. Phone is still draining while plugged in.
So that's it? Phone is bricked then?
Charge to 100%
Try a different charger
Try flashing a different ROM/kernel
Try flashing RUU
Contact HTC
That's what I would do and the order I would do it in. Leave it alone until it is charged up to 100% before you do any of this though. Even if it takes a week. For all I know, charging to 100% will reset the charging circuit. I doubt it, but who knows.... Stranger things have happened.

Well this is awkward.
After many days, and since HTC is not present in Brazil anymore, I have no ways of contacting support, I gave up, bought an S4. After two days with my new phone, guess what? The HOX+ charged 100%, and it seems to be discharging normally. GOD DAMMIT.
So, ridethisbike, your suggestion worked, kudos for you and boo for me for not being patient and giving a shot.
Out to look for a buyer then. :silly:
Hey guys,
unfortunately my 3-year old Razr died the other day. Battery has been an issue for the past few months where I had the battery completely drained 2 times but always got the device back to work. This time it's different though.
I shut down the Phone at aprox. 20% Battery to safe it from low charge. I have NEVER flashed a custom rom, the phone is purely stock. The phone wouldn't turn on the next time i tried. Initially , I had zero reaction. Then, I got at least the white LED when charging with the original adapter. Let it charge a few days. The white light would turn off after a few hours but the phone is still dead.
I replaced the battery with another (new) EB20 but still nothing. I bought a wall charger (1A) and still nothing. I even tried direct charging the battery for a few hours and still no effect. Also, every combination of Power+Volume buttons didnt work.
So i bought a factory cable but still didnt get any reaction. When hooked up to a computer via USB i have a "connecting" and "disconnecting" sound. Once the device was detected as OMAP 3340 but couldnt install it. The problem is that I dont even get the phone into fastboot mode.
On my research, I found these posts:

I think this will be my last try and option, but i have no experience whatsoever with flashing and I find the description very hard to understand and follow. Is there maybe someone who can explain step by step what there is to install/do and in what order? This would be awesome.
