I just got my TP 4 days ago and installed all the latest updates. Something I've noticed is that my battery was showing 87% for 2 days straight. I just realized that and when I went to battery stats it was showing ''Battery 87%-Unknown''. Rebooted and my Prime showed me 4% battery. I am charging it now and will keep an eye on it in the next couple of days-I have 14 days to exchange it.
Anyone else having similar issues or any issues with the battery?
Thanks in advance.
Yes! Mine was stuck at 93%! Then it suddenly switched off, probably flat battery. But now its been on charge for 2 odd hours and it still won't switch on! :-(

Hmm. Try soft-resetting it-Ive read somewhere it helps. Hmm, I wonder if it will happen again- that is an odd issue. If it does it again I will exchange it! Other than that I love the tablet!

How low can it go? Ive ben trying to drain the battery all day and its finallydown to 3% at the time of this post. Is this thing going to go right to zero or what. So far i got 32 hours in balanced mode. I used it for mainlyforum browsing and a game or 2. But i just leave it on overnight so that accounts for about 10 hours.

Every day my HTC AMAZE 4g keeps shutting down multiple times a day, is there a fix or should I request another one from T-Mobile?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
I'm having the same issue. 4-5 times a day it'll just shut down and then take it's sweet time rebooting. Im rooted running stock 2.3.4 trying to upgrade to ICS which kind of tumbles into another issue. I'm trying to do the update to ICS via the OTA update and when it powers down it just boots into the Bootloader screen. My status for my bootloader shows <RELOCKED> followed by <SECURITY WARNING>.
If anyone could shed a little insight that'd be aces.
The random reboot issue seems to be battery related from what others have stated.

Why don't you update to ics manually? And as above has stated contact HTC tell them you have defective battery.

I can confirm this. I called t-mo and they basically told me that I'm SOL on a battery replacement. So, I got the Anker 2 pack on Amazon for 30 bucks, and I haven't had a reboot since.
Had the same issue. Called HTC tech support bypassing T-Mobile since I use a different carrier. HTC sent me a replacement battery.

I guess I should call HTC as well. I thought about calling them, but the Anker has a big better so I didn't mind plopping down 30 for 2 batteries.
Mine shuts down also. Then when it boots back up it has 20% less battery -.- isn't that annoyin ? Lol

you have a faulty battery.
this sounds like a recall-type of deal here. i'm having the same issues with my oem battery. called htc the other day, and they wanted my cc info to replace the battery. i'd still have to pay for shipping the old one back to them. will try calling again, and see if i can get one for free lol

same thing with mine. went through 2 amaze 4g's and 5 batteries in 2 months. I end up buying a new battery once every 2 weeks.
One thing i know that WILL kill my battery is if i plug it into the outlet on an amtrak train. Every time i exit the train, its dead. Learned that the hard way.
I also keep the rubber case that came with it off. It happens less and less that way. I think it's overheating, since it was very hot out each time.
Hello guys,
I've also about the same problem, My Amaze is Asian version with JuopunutBear S-OFF and ICS Speed Rom installed.
The problem with my phone is that while its charging or in use, it doesn't shut down, but when idle for some time with no music application running in background, it shut down.
then it doesn't turn on unless you pull the battery for a while and re insert it,
Can anyone plz tell me what's the issue, is it battery or some culprit application?
Thanks
I had the same issue on my phone. It was due to the kernel issue .I flashed super wipe once & flashed backup again . Now my battery is ok & I found no rendom shutdowns anymore . try this if it helps you.

which kernal you're using now??
I used to had the same issue. Tried updating Android using stock, changing the ROM to a custom one (CM, Energizer, etc.), changing the kernel. nothing seemed to help. In the meantime, I bought a battery from eBay. Took about 3,5 to 4 months to arrive (yeah, **** me, I'm from Argentina). I put it on and VOILÀ. Holy solution.
It is an Anker one, so it has more capacity also
I m using faux kernel v. 31

Turn on the device but let charge for another hour. This seems to have worked for me.

What rom/kernel...baseband, and carrier..
Also, are you charging with the phone in use, or is it turned off...
Also, are you overclocked, overvolted ??
and are you using the stock charger and cable ??
thanks in advance....g
Gubment cheese ROM. Stock charger/cable. No oc or UV. And the last charge was while sleeping. Went to bed at 46% woke up 6 hrs later at 89% and that is with the kernel that is included with ROM

A bit slower than normal, but if coming to this rom fresh, it needs a few days to "settle"...
My math shows this:
89% - end charge
minus
46 %- start charge
= 43% charge
divided by 6 hours, = 7.16 % per hour.
Better than my build gets right now....with a stock battery...(using CM9 stable today).....
Watch it for a few more days and monitor the charge rate. I'm not ruling out a problem with battery either, but considering the fact that your last build was better, the battery should be fine.
But honestly, once the stats get built and the rom settles in, you will likely see an increase in charging rate, and a decrease in discharge time.
The symptoms your having are not uncommon after flashing a new build.
Also, have you verified your wireless connections ?..I.E.is the device attempting to access wifi, or roam on wireless bands ?
Often times this causes rapid battery drain....
Thats my .02 at the moment brother......g
And I appreciate that!! I don't use WiFi. And most of the time I'm just on 4g. Always have good 4g connection at home. With nothing running background. I'll give it a few days though and see what happens!! Thanks broth a!!

I know its only been a few hours. Just got home from work after heavy use at work, threw it on the charger at 23% and went for a smoke before bed. Got back and already 28% I'd say that's on hell of an improvement from this morning!! I don't know why. But i be had this ROM running great for a few days. Then all the sudden slow charging. But now its fine. I really appreciate all the help!!!

Happened to me when i went from TW to AOKP. I was stuck at 19% for hr and than when I restored back to TW it started charging normal again.
May be some files left over from one rom causing the slow down.
About to try the avatar rom again and see if it's still going on.

Very possible ....
I always wipe the EMMC partition after a new rom ....
Without having the device in hand, it's impossible to say what the cause may be.
Whether it's a rom issue, or apps etcetera......g
I think I found the culprit....
If you have a .tmp folder delete it.
I deleted mine and my battery started charging normal again.

Here is a solution: Get a new ROM because the ROM you have installed is over clocked too much so the voltage the phone gets from the battery is almost equivalent to the voltage of your charger. The charger has a voltage of 5, which means the phone has a voltage of now 4.7V

You need a real charger. Not a micro usb. Either that or you need a new battery. Roms are not the cause of bad battery.

This is how it started... Was driving to LA noticed my phone was dying 14% , plugged into the car charger then checked to see the drain/charge mAh lucky it was at 658+ mAh arrived to my destination unplugged the battery and it was at 72%.
Restarted my phone just to restart .
Listened to some music battery was at 67 then bam.. Phone turns off!!!!!!
Now I tried powering it on NOTHING. No red light, no dimmed light. Plugged in the wall charger original port and USB cable.. No charging light. Tried pulling battery out , putting it back in nothing. Left it on the charger for an hour just to see if it will pick up a charge, nope nothing.
SO SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
