I have an HTC EVO 3D, the battery will literally melt down to "red" in about 3 hours, and charge extremely slow or not at all, until I reboot the phone, and then the phone will reboot with a charge of around 60% and normal recharge rates.
What the heck is going on? My phone is not rooted, so I can't reset the battery configuration....or can i?
Stock everything...
try this. Let the battery die completely. With the phone off let it charge till you get a green light.
Do that a couple of times, will more than likely fix it.
You can also charge and then wipe battery stats in recovery.
charge and wipe stats ftw
You guys are so smart..it's not like he just saidb he's completely stock

Yes it's as stock as it gets, lol
Yeah I missed the part where he said he was not rooted.
Factory Reset.
Are you using the stock charger? I had this issue when I first got my EVO but it was because I had been using a different charger

I just bought this phone and I don't know if its because its brand new or what but it doesn't charge completely.
It will charge up to 100% but then the percentage will decrease and the green light that let's you know its fully charged stays on yet the percentage lowers drastically and this is while its still on the charger plugged in and everything.
Does anyone else have this problem or experienced this?

That's the circuit kicking in to prevent overcharging of the battery. It's normal.

Will it get better over time because Ive had plenty of android phones and this is the only one that loses its charge while still on the charger.

Yes it is like this on all EVO 3D as well as the EVO 4G. I'm not sure if it like that with only HTC phones or just the EVO brands.
Take it off once it turns green, it's full. If you leave it plugged in longer it will stop using the charger and use battery till it gets down to like 90% then the charger kicks back on.
Okay it was just a shock to me because I owned the vibrant, incredible, and g2 and the 3vo is the only one thats done this. But if its normal I guess I have nothing to worry about. Althought I still may get a replacement, I just charged it completely and its down to 53% after only 2 hours and 20 minutes and the only thing I've done so far is post this thread on xda haha.

Guys ain't sure this is out there and I did search but couldn't find much on subject so looking for someone to confirm...
I now know of three different peoples 3vos batteries to completely fry around the 4 month mark, this includes my 3vo which is why at the moment I'm posting this from my hd2...
I've looked at all variables in the three different cases and nothing stands out... is it just HTC supplying crap batteries that can't keep up?!?
Appreciate some comments back guys and girls!!

That is built in the Kernel I believe. Basically, your phone charges to 99%, then internally stops charging until it hits below 95% and starts again. What I do is when I wake up, unplug, then plug back in. By the time I leave around 45 minutes later it is back to 99%. You can if you have a recovery, let it charge to 99%, then power off, boot into recovery and wipe battery stats, then resume charging. Do this 2-3 times and you can get to 100%.

Actually I thought I read not. I seem to remember that is HTC's kernel and the same problem doesn't happen to CM but I've never run it so I couldn't say myself.
I have only had my evo 3d for 4 day's now rooted and s-off but never been able to achieve full charge yet
I always seem to get between 95% - 99% does anyone else have this problem?

Yep, normal. The first few times I charged my phone, it would sit at 99% for hours and hours, then finally go to 100.
Thanks guys thought I'd just got a dud battery

if you want to fix that issue, turn it off, charge it till light turns green, turn it on.
just run a few battery cycles man. it is perfectly normal.

It will charge up to 99 the go down to 95 then back up to 99. It will be like that to protect your battery.

Your battery will charge to 100%. When it reaches 99% just unplug it and plug it in again.

its normal in every phone.electronic devices. the 1-2% are reserved in case user unplugs power before 100% is reached.you will see 100% if u charge overnight or turn the device off-charge until green and then turn on and charge again until green--bam!100%
The og evo used to do this but instead of reporting the battery percentage dropping it would report 100% no matter what. Its a huge problem if you have a bad charging cable cause it'll sit there at 100% till it kills the battery to zero.

Hey guys I'm getting some really slow battery charge over here. I've had my phone plugged in the OEM ac charger for over 3h now and it went from 5% to 50% and the phone is getting hot also. I haven't touched it at all for those 3h and data is off so no internet. I don't get it. It's usually fairly quick maybe 1 to 100 for about 2h.
Edit: I'm running capcomalpha with fraux kernel and stock battery.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
The following suggestion may be of no help in your case, but I've experienced something like this as well, mainly with CWM that doesn't support off-charging. The phone will look like its charging but is actually drawing just enough energy to keep the phone alive. Also, the charging light will turn off after 15 mins or so. One way to ensure that your phone is getting charged adequately is to check the screen; if you see an ultra-dim screenshot of CWM then you'll have to periodically remove the charger and reinsert it "restart" the charge. Then try to boot into android to complete the charge.
The phone is on I rebooted it and it jumped from 55% to 68%

buy a new battery and wall charger so you can charge the battery outside the phone.

You bumped a thread that was still on the first page after only 7 1/2 hours? Please don't do that again, not that I agree with bumping threads, but it is for when something needs brought back to the first page, not while it is on the first page.
do your have a case on? the trapped heat is cause the phone to slow down charging. it is a safety feature. off the case and flip over when charging. it should charge faster.

The phone has no case and was on the table so i guess there was nothing to make it overheat. Sorry for the bad bump i guess i was just desperate.

What version of Recovery are you on and as you said your using faux kernel. Try to revert to stock recovery or stock kernel and see if there is a change or behavior of your phone. And try aand see if fastboot is check on your power under settings..
you said it was hot. maybe you have some app in background using cpu. hence power drain and overheating.

Ok i swithed to stock kernel and its doing the same thing. I reflashed the rom and didnt install any apps to see if thats the case. I also noticed ita doing it only when the battery is low- 10% or less. Then the phone heats up and its barely charging. If its above 50% it charges fairly quckly and doesnt heat up. Ill see how stock kernel does tonight and report back.

Like title says, lately, my phone is charging notably slower. Even on my wall charger. I plugged in last night around 12 and at 7am it was only at 95%. I tried two other wall chargers with the same results. I'm running the latest ViperRez Rom, no mods, used battery calibration as always. I tried wiping cache/dalvik, and battery stats. Any other suggestions?

I noticed the same thing but with my car charger. Was running nils ics rom with sense 3.6 and battery was great. Then reflashed the same rom and started getting worse. I can usually drive with gps, 4g and talk on the phone and charger still charged. But now lately I've started getting messages on my phone saying that it's not charging enough and that I'm drawing more than able to charge. Haven't changed any of my habits and all hardware is still the same. Not really sure what's going on

might just be a bad battery. if you go to you nearest VZW store and tell them your phone is charging slow and you want to try a new battery, they will exchange the battery right there.

Car charging has always been slow for me, on my dumbphone, my inc, thunderbolt, dunno why, USB charging is about the same.

i dont see why they would. its part of the phone and under the 1 year warranty. if they replace beats headphones, which they have for me already, then they would replace it. just talk to them.
