I'm on cleanROM 3.7 and everything so far is running GREAT. Recently I wiped the battery stats using Scott's tweaks, of course after a full charge and then unplugging for a full drain without charge, as with other battery calibrations on previous devices I've owned or used. After charging without break, I cannot reach a 100% charge, it stops at 99%. I am now not so sure about charging overnight as I suspect the battery/device might overheat since a 100% charge does not seem to be attainable. Anyone know about this issue?
Does the light go green?

You might want to take a gander at the following post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9777867
Your battery gauge is lying to you (and it's not such a bad thing)
That thread might be useful if it said anything about a 99% charge. Usually the little LED light turns from orange to yellow when it becomes fully charged at 100%. The light is staying orange and will not display 100%, only 99%.

Ok, so I turned my phone off last night before charging and I was able to attain the yellow LED light indication for a full charge but when I power on my device it boots up almost immediately. It skips the HTC screen and goes straight to my custom boot animation and then boots up. When the device boots up any other time I get the white HTC screen and everything like normal.

*Edit*
That's because you have fastboot checked in settings. Pull the battery, put it back in, then charge til green. If its any consolation though my battery does the same thing with the phone on it gets to 99 and hangs, but I've found that if I reboot it while on the charger it will turn green within about 10 minutes of being back on. Usually I don't worry about it being at 100% because when it actually is at 100% it goes back to 99% like 10 seconds after I unplug it. But to sum up, pull the battery b4 you charge and put it back in or uncheck fastboot then power off anand charge.

why pull the battery? why not simply uncehck fastboot??
I try not to ever pull my battery..
adb reboot if needed will work 99% of the time if you're by your computer.

Well I usually just hold the power button and push reboot if the phone needs rebooting. You probably know but you cant also hold power + volume up + volume down for about 5 seconds and it will also reboot itself. I was just trying to tell him the different ways to get the phone to completely turn off. That's why I suggested two different ways. But yes as Andy said, unchecking fastboot should be the easiest way.

So, I did S-Off yesterday, flashed the SU binary yesterday. Did NAND backup for good measure. All great and all.
Today, I wake up and phone is off. Realized I forgot to charge it. Plugged into charger, and orange light comes on, turns off for about 2 seconds, turns on again. 10 minutes plugged in, Pune won't turn on. Took out and licked the battery terminals. It has juice.
Noticed that now the light doing quick flash of orange quick flash of green. None of buttons do anything.
Any ideas?
Leave it charge for about 1 hour, then try to boot up. If you have a battery dock use that, if not just plug in and let it sit.
edit.....i just seen another thread where the phone doesnt charge while off, what recovery are you using? I have the twrp (TeamWin Recovery) and it is charging while phone is off.

The team win recovery. I did a crude battery test (licking terminals) and it should have sufficient juice to boot up
Unplug it and turn it on, its not bricked. But it wont turn on as long as its plugged in.

Weird, did turn on, but power button was weird. Had to push it few times. Booted up, shows about 50% battery

that would be my thread.
It was suggested on that thread that I use a different recovery (using CWM at the moment), but I see that the person who is having this same problem is using TeamWin recovery and has the same issue, so I'm guessing that it's not the recovery itself but some other reason.

I think it has something to do with turning off fast boot. I checked it back, and it worked like it did before.

Now my phone all of a sudden won't boot into hboot. Yesterday it did but today it hasn't. And I have no system data so it just hangs at the splash.

It's because HTC won't allow charging with the phone off (trickle charge) due to the fact it kills battery cells fast and HTC doesn't like replacing batteries. Keep fastboot on in power menu and you will be able to charge with "phone off"...because it truly isn't off.....

This morning, I woke up to find me 3vo plugged in, but the light was off and I couldn't turn the phone off. My first thought was that it died.....while plugged in over night? So I pulled the battery, put it back in, plugged it in, and the red charging light came on, but only half the brightness it normally is. It also wouldn't turn on and the light turned off after a couple of seconds. I then pulled the battery, waited a minute, put it back in, plugged in, and it seemed to be charging like normal. I turned it on but it took a couple of minutes to boot up, much longer than any normal boot up time.
On a separate occasion, I had 60% battery life one afternoon. I checked my phone 15 minutes later and it said the battery was 5% or less and then shut down a couple of seconds after I turned the screen on.
There was nothing to link these two incidents. I'm trying to figure out if it is a problem with software, hardware, or battery. I can't make the problem happen, so its going to be interesting if I need to take it to a sprint store for a replacement/repair. Thanks for any input or ideas.
Phone is stock, no root.
I know I've had to pull my battery for unknown reasons to start it. The only time I ever so the led at half brightness is when the phone is booting without quickboot (battery pull clears memory for a quickboot). It's like putting your computer in sleep mode, your computer sends fast startup information to volatile memory (ram), so it boots off fast RAM instead of slow hard drives.
As for your 60 to 5 in 2.5 (seconds). I'd try wiping your battery stats in recovery. Make sure you have a FULL charge, wipe battery stats, fully drain the battery, the fully charge. Your battery meter should be accurate afterwards...
If this helps, please hit the thanks button...

pull battery then put it back in then connect to the stock charger and let it sit for 10-15min then start it up
in the future try not to let it get below 5%, i've heard the 3d has issues initiating a charge on fully drained batteries

Did not work, on the stock charger it just flashes the led light and doesnt charge, I'm still on my 30 day so ill bring it back and say it has a defective battery/charge system, no need to tell them I'm rooted
try plug in your pc and do a
adb reboot-bootloader

If the battery is completely dead the red led will blink for a little bit until it gets a little juice built up and then it will turn solid red. Definitely don't think your bricked. I've had this happen several times on the 3D and the 4G.
Hello guys, I'm experimenting the same issue! It was working like a charm, then I left without simcard in airplane mode, but with wifi on.
When out from wifi coverage, it turned off (maybe because of the battery drain) and can't bring it back to life!
This is just incredible, I can't believe there is no way to wake up it.
I'm trying to charge with its charger, with PC connection and nothing happens: red light for a little while and everything off again after a couple of seconds ... I'm getting nervous :-(
Take the battery out, plug it in wait till the red light goes off, 5 seconds. Now press the camera button... Phone will turn on

My View is rooted S-off and last night my battery life was bad but I had it plugged in so I continued to play with it. I think it finally died and the power button led began to blink. Now I cannot get out of the recovery. If I choose "reboot system now" it goes back into the recovery. If I restore a backup that I had it goes back into the recovery. If I unplug it and reboot, it shuts off and the light stops blinking but I can't turn it back on. When I plug it in again I get the same problem. Please help......what do I do?
I just got my view (used) the battery was very dead. When its that dead. Plugging it in will have the blink orange instead of a solid orange. I couldn't do anything with it till I let it charge up. I let it charge for 16 hours ( with it off) before the light finally went green (the stock charger seems a little wimpy to me).
I would say stick it on the charger (with it off) for 24 hours and see if it just needed a long charge.

I could give that a try but it won't stay off. I try to reboot from the CM recovery and it boots back to the CM recovery and the screen stays on. I can't even restore my nandroid backups because it dies before finishing. I've had it on the charger since yesterday so hopefully that light will stop blinking soon.
Hmmm if it dies.... doesn't that mean the screen is then off?
You could charge it with a different charger. My phone charger charges my view way faster than the stock charger.

My HTC Rezound has always been a little iffy on the battery side. No matter what i did, the battery would usually day 3 quarters of the way through the day. I learned to accept this. My problem now is that the phone died after being run down to 0% and when i try to charge it back up, all i get is a blinking orange light and the phone will not start up. I have tried removing the battery. I even left it charging for 3 days and it still wont charge up enough to boot up the phone. Does anyone have any idea what's going on and how I can fix it?
Is it acknowledging the charger is plugged in? Have you tried a different USB cable AND wall socket?

IIRC The Rezound uses and Odd Voltage Battery, which sometimes throws off the calibration. When this happens the phone can drain the battery past the safe level for recharging. The phone is in battery safety mode atm.
Its been a long time since I've had to do this... Happened to me once when I got my phone in Nov '12 lol
Follow these steps EXACTLY Do NOT Deviate
1) Remove the battery Completely
2) Wait 1 hour
3) Place the battery Back in the phone, DO NOT PRESS THE POWER BUTTON
4) Place the battery on the charger. You SHOULD see a blinking red light
5) Leave the phone alone until the Red Light has been solid for at least 20 minutes
6) Power the phone on and let it fully charge
7) Restart into Recovery Mode and wipe battery stats.

I tried your solution but the blinking red light never turns into a solid red light. It just keeps blinking no matter how long I leave it on the charger.

Just curious, what's the voltage say on the back of the battery?
If I remember right the rez initially had a slightly lower voltage battery when it came out.

Hmm I am wondering if the battery is shot. I do know I had a similar issue with mine and ended up buying a separate wall charger just for the battery. I would charge it for 5-10 mins and then pop it back in the phone to finish charging.
