Here's what happened
I rooted, unlocked, and installed Fourth Bar Sense and Faux's Kernel 0.0.8 about a less than a month ago.
Installation is a success, no bugs, glitches, and everything runs smooth.
3 days ago I charged the phone to 100% and reset battery stats since I read a post claiming that it could boost my battery time.
Today the Amaze runs out completely out of battery.
Plug it up, LED turns orange and leave it to charge for 2 hours.
2 hours pass when I notice that the LED isn't on.
Get suspicious. Try to turn it on. Wont. Try to go into recovery mode (
It's volume down, and long hold power button down right?) Nothing.
Would be thankful if anyone could help out.
What recovery do u have installed? Its probably one of two things, either the recovery you have installed is the older one that does not support off charging, therefore since its dead you will have to find another phone to charge it with. Or 2, your battery is fried...

I have C.W.M 5.0.2.6.
I've had problems off charging it before.
That's going to be near impossible. No one I know has an amaze, evo, nor sensation.
Should I take it to Tmobile and see if they can do something? Perhaps exchange it for a new one? I have warranty.
Just try letting it charge longer. I had a similar problem and it took a few hours to charge enough to be able to turn on.

Well, it's been charging for about 8 hours now and still won't turn on.
Something similar happened to me, and after plugging it in, unplugging it, replugging it in, taking battery out, and doing that for a bit my phone eventually booted up. If no luck, go to a TMo store and tell them you need to borrow a battery or phone to charge your battery.

so, ive discussed IMO a very nasty thing about this phone I dont like. Of course my goal is to not let my battery die. But it has happened to me a few times. Im finding that after the battery dies, It takes me about 20 minutes to get the phone powered back on. Even if it is plugged into a power outlet. It simply does nothing for about 20 minutes after it is plugged in. Doesnt respond to power button, battery pull, etc.
So..I thought, maybe its a measure like blackberries where they wont power the radio back on until the battery reaches "x" percent. Doesnt seem to be the case either.
Ive had many HTC devices including the OG Evo, never seen anything like this...any ideas?
It's a mystery to me as well. It's happened a couple times to me. The only way I could power it on is by letting it sit on the charger for several minutes.
I think it might have to do with the way we rooted them. The developer mentioned an issue with letting the power go dead. It may not be a problem if you are in fast boot mode.
Hmmm...............

Mine has a problem powering on while it is charging. I'll have to take out the battery and unplug it to get it to turn on.
im finding out that people who are using cwm have a problem charging with power off. Im using twrp so Im sure this doesnt pertain to me..but its got to be something kernel or recovery related. im gonna ask over in vipers thread and see what kind of answers I get
Happens to me often as well. When I plug mines in, its usually good to go about 2 minutes after the red light stops blinking.

Damn, that sucks. I'm using TWRP I also suspect it may have something to do with clockwork. Although it could just be that the battery needs to charge to a certain point for the phone to kick in. Who knows.. LOL

I just ended up trading mine in for a refund. I found the 3d offered very little over the original Evo, and mine had worse reception and call quality than the original. I am now using a nexus s until a better phone comes out.
So I am on my second battery right now. The first one just decided it shouldnt turn on. I could plug the charger in and the notification light wouldnt turn on, pull the battery and it would. Well, now my second battery is doing the samething. I had left it on the charger while I was outside doing stuff, came in in the afternoon, dead phone. Pulled and replaced battery a few times, phone still wouldnt turn on. Then I plugged in the charger and no notification light would come on. So I finally pulled the battery and with the battery out I plugged in the charger and then the notification light would come on. What the hell is going on here?
Anyone else have these problems? Now I have to drive 30+ miles one way to my nearest Verizon store to replace this damn thing and I am not happy about this one bit. Anyone on here have any suggestions for me?

If you bought it from Verizon and not second hand, then you have 1 year warranty. I suggest you call Verizon's customer service and speak with them and get a replacement sent. I've done this multiple times with just about every phone I've had. 1800-922-0804 is what I dial. to get to them, press 0, then press 0 again, and it will ask for your account password, then a rep will get on the phone.
best of luck.
If the phone is older than 30 days, or maybe it's 14 now with Verizon, they give you a refurbished phone, if you are over that period and went to the store I'm pretty positives all they would do is order you the replacement refurb phone. 30+ miles each way is a hike, save the gas money

Just had my Rezound battery die last night. It was freezing outside and my battery was at 1%. The screen just went blank. When I got home, plugged in the charger. The notification led came on for 3 seconds then went back off again. Tried several chargers I had and pulling the battery and plugging it in.
Weird.
Verizon has the 14 day return/exchange policy now. I was at 12 days so I just went in and they replaced the battery with a brand new one from a Rezound box. I assume they will send that unit back RMA. My phone works now.
You're not the only person having battery death issues. Not sure why this is a problem on the Rezound. I recently purchased an extended battery ironically. It will be arriving tomorrow.
Here's to hoping that it won't die. I should buy some spares just in case. Make sure you call customer service and report the issue. It is tracked.
I was also having an issue charging from a dead battery (would charge just fine otherwise). The charging indicator would not stay lit, but after giving it 10 minutes or so, repeated attempts to power on would eventually work and then it would charge normally.
Had this happen several times and then reflashed the stock image. Seems to be working as it should now. However, when I got my phone it had a dead battery it wouldn't charge. So we'll see what happens.
Note: was running Senseless 1.0 and de-bloated. Stock rom kernel. If it matters....I probably didn't get a clean install when doing it all.
Rezound has a known issue that if the battery dies to far you'll need something else to charge the battery. Some people have used their old thunderbolts to give it a pre charge, buy the stand alone charger from Verizon. Or just don't let your phone discharge tthat far.

Good to know - is that all or most Rezounds? Because I wonder if I should swap mine while I still can.
Like I said, I was having that issue and after flashing the stock RUU (updated one, .6) my phone is charging a dead battery just fine (2 for 2 so far, fingers crossed).
Actually brand new in the store mine had a dead battery and it would not charge, so they gave me a new battery. Perhaps there was a fix in that updated RUU. It's just a suggestion - after I confirm this works consistently I'll see what happens with some other roms.
Alternatively, it's also possible the stock RUU doesn't let you drain the battery as far as the roms do. I was able to power back on several times until it finally wouldn't (and no led flashing at that point), but now it charges from there.
Yea, I woke up one morning and my phone was deader than a door nail. Popped on the charger and no notification light, called Verizon to whine and prepared to stop by the store to get a replacment battery. However just for kicks I plug the phone back on the charger (ok my laptop) and after 1/2 hour the notification light popped back on and the battery started to charge. Now Prior I was having a high rate of discharged getting about 2 hours of use and 5 on standby (airplane on, WiFi and Data off) and still having the high rate of discharge. I started to investigate why the phone was getting hot and discharging so fast. Now I couldn't fine the culprit (I think WIFI was the cause) but I just did a factory reset, reloaded my rom and kernal and poof, everything return to normal including much longer discharge rates and I'm much happier now (Adult Beverages and household chemicals indigestation).
If you go to HTC's website it actually has a faq on this. Their response goes pretty much like this. If you drain your battery till the phone shuts off, plug your phone in. It will flash the notification light then there will be no charging light. The light could take 20 minutes or more to turn on. I also had this problem like you guys but just put it on charge over night and it will be fine. Just don't kill it to 0 anymore.
Found the Quote: My phone won’t power on. What can I do? close
If your phone will not power on, your battery may be drained or not seated correctly.
Tips:
If the battery is completely dead, the phone will need to charge for a few minutes and then should power on once this happens. When plugging the phone into the charging, the notification light may not light up immediately as the battery is completely dead. Let it charge for about 20 minutes before trying to power on.
Make sure you are using the AC charger that was supplied with your phone

battery discharges while plugged in and using it
ok, so this happened with the stock rom, and two other roms i had.
What would happen is if you plug the phone in, and use it, you would expect it to charge while you are using it. It did on my dinc. it actually discharges while you use it and it is plugged into the supplied charger.
This is not a good thing. I am wondering if anyone else is having a similar experience.
One interesting side note.
I installed rezrom recently, and after the initial install i didn't experience this problem and got a 24 hour charge out of the battery. Now on my second charge only lasted 7 hours, and i get that drain while plugged in again.
Are you using the stock charger or a different one? You might not be charging at 1amp.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I am using the stock charger. I have two actually, one from my dinc, which also supply 1 amp of power
That's really crappy and definitely an issue they need to address. My Rezound sucks on the battery like a wine-o on a Friday night, but it's never gotten to the point of blacking out.
I am just interested to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue of it being plugged in and not charging when u surf the net, but actually discharges.
The whole issue of it not powering up for 15 minutes after it dies is a bunch of crap too. my dinc does not do this, and god forbid that my phone dies in an emergency situation and i need to get a hold of someone fast!
oh i forgot to add that i called VZW and complained about this, and they going to send a new battery. Something tells me this won't resolve this issue though
I have the official HTC 2750 battery and Its been good except 2 mornings I woke up to an unresponsive phone with no charge notification after plugging it in.. Pulling the battery and reinstalling let me start the phone up. I have had this phone/battery combo for 2 weeks.. should I try to get a replacement battery or is this normal. There have been two different answers here and I want to do the right thing here...

Yes, exactly. Not sure if it was entirely discharged. I'll leave it off the charger tonight and see if it does it again by morning. I'll let you know battery % once I get it booted.

From the beginning, phone was on charger, charging then came back later (phone still on charger) no led, nothing, phone wouldnt turn on.
If this device has gets completely drained, it is painful to recover. You will have to try possibly 100 times various chargers, removing the battery etc.
The screen stayed black with an occasional light, but wouldn't power on at all.
It finally worked but you really have to be tenacious.
2 batteries 1 smirk.
edit--
i'd still be messed in this case, unless one also had the standalone charger...
now i'm terrified of letting the battery drain!
Knock on wood...but I've never had this problem.

u just have to let the led blinking light turn solid then give it a go and it should be good to go
Yeah I never had this problem and my phone has died several times. I just let the blinking light go solid and turn it back on. I did notice that my old LG chargers are a bit finicky with this phone though.
i though this happened to mine too. my phone died, i plugged my charger in but nothing happened. eventually the orange light came on, it just takes a while.

I have a standalone charger but it only charges to 97%. I hope it's not messing up my batteries.

Just let it sit on the charger for a few minutes.
The light will blink for a while, but it will still charge. If after 10 minutes the LED is still blinking, unplug the charger and plug it back in.
Run mine dead at least once a week. Which should be common practice. Never a problem. You should definitely let it charge a while before expecting it to fire back up.

Don't be "that guy".
I exchanged my one-week-old phone yesterday because of this: my phone went dead overnight, so I plugged it in in the morning and got nothing (no lights or anything). I left it charging for about 20 minutes while I got ready for work and still got nothing. When I got to work, I stuck it on the charger again for about 3 hours, and still got nothing. I went to the nearest Verizon store to see what they could do about it, and they didn't even look at the phone, just replaced it.
Works for me, I guess.
Have had this happen twice now (with oem batteries). My problem was though, left them on the charger all day, then they wouldnt turn on or do anything.
sometimes i wonder if the people who said their phones never came back on, actually just freaked because it didn't turn RIGHT back on and frantically started plugging it into tons of chargers thinking all sorts of things could be wrong, when really nothing was.
I have never had a phone NOT come back on, and this is with 2 years of HTC phones (at least 2 dozen phones when you consider all the replacements for various things here and there) and not a single one has failed to charge back up.
not saying anyone is lying, but when something happens that were unfamiliar with, its easy to start getting freaked out.
Think about it, would a manufacturer make a device that has a high tendency to fully discharge, "break" should it actually discharge? Sounds a bit silly...
Ran mine sead before and recharged no problem. You just have to plug it in and wait. It's not gonna turn on immediately. Let it charge.

In almost every thread on here, someone has to complain and tell the OP to search. There are thousands of threads to go through. Even after narrowing it down with a search they could still miss the answer to their question.
No, this is a problem I've had as well, twice in fact.
The first time my battery ran down from 99% to dead because I was unaware that it lost and was searching for a signal. I couldn't get it to turn on after hours and hours of charging. I finally took it into a Verizon store, and they used a different charger to get it turned back on.
It happened again last night. I was downloading something, the signal was lost, and the battery died prematurely. I used the stock charger to charge it overnight, but when I woke up this morning, the phone refused to turn on. I charged it with my HP Touchpad charger, and it came on about five minutes later.
The stock charger failed to revive the battery BOTH times.
So my solutions are, 1. don't let the battery die. But things happen and sometimes it's unavoidable. 2. If the battery dies and you can't get it charged after hours, try using a compatible charging cord from a different device to get it moving.
Things that are unavoidable happen, but I make darn sure my battery never dies 100% after something that happened with my Droid Charge.
It was custom ROMed and all tweaked out etc and I fell asleep one night when it only had about 10% left. It ran all night and was off in the morning.
When I plugged It in and started it up, every single app started force closing on me. This had never happened before and it was so bad the thing was totally unusable.
Luckily, I had made a nandroid BU the day before and restoring it fixed it.
No idea how true this is, but I've read a few other posts with people having this issue and they found that if you pop the back, pop the battery, plug in, insert battery and replace back. Then you let it sit for 20 or so minutes and it should start up again. Love to know if this resolves the issue for those having it though.
So last night I used my Rezound until the battery died, plugged it to the charger and ...... nothing. No led light. Nothing at all. I have heard about the charging issues with Clockwork Mod but not Amon Ra. I m S-Off running RAGE 1.5 Dev. I ordered a battery accharger and new batteries but have to wait 3 days. Any help will be appreciated.

to be honest bud this is the first time im hearing of this problem with amonRa my best aadvice is to wait for your external charger i use one my self and keep switching out batterys during the day..also if your phone is dead, i mean deaddead.. pull your battery out for about five min. then pu it back in and connect to a charger itll take about fifteen min for the led light to even come on.. then itll blink, then turn solid. you want it to be solid for at least ten min, as it needs to have at least enough power to charge..
I already tried taking it out even put he battery in the freezer for 5 min no led.....I just hate waiting.

My first Rezzy died for good several months back on AmonRa. Tried other chargers and cords to no avail, all suggestions on the forum then.
Figured it was a fried power circuit through and through, damaged via a short or power surge, something from the USB port on. Original battery was good after all and still running this second unit today.
Just cautioning to troubleshoot throughly before tossing money into other items if you wouldn't buy them otherwise. Verizon sent me overnight a CLN unit when I had the issue back in February.
Got home from work a couple of minutes ago tried booting up my Rezound again and it worked. I have no idea what in gods name happened but it works now........

I had the exact same thing happened to my Nexus, I had to send it in for repairs. You should go to a Verizon store and show it to them
Plug it into the wall and let it charge it can take a while for the led light to indicate it's charging but it is.

Plug it in for about 10 to 15 minutes then while its charging, hold down the power button for 30 seconds. You should be good. You may have to hold the power button a couple of times if it doesn't work the first time..

Mine has died multiple times and the led blinks and then after 2 or 3 mind it stays solid and charges. I would let it sit but since you did that and it didn't work it had to be hardware related.
