So I just got my Rezound last week. I really like this phone but whenever I charge my phone while it is still turned on the battery continues to drain until the phone shuts down. Since I have noticed this issue I have been able reboot the phone 4 or 5 times and get it to start taking a charge while still tured on. I am currently running CleanROM GBE 1.7.5 but it also did this on the Stock Rom. I have deleted the Battery config file using the Battery config app on the market and it still will not charge while the phone is on. I have also tried a few different kernels all with the same issue. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or should I just go to Verizion and exchange for a new phone (would rather keep this one if I can get it fixed.)

That could be the charger. Have you tried charging it directly from a PC with just the cable? Does the orange light stay on solid?
Thanks for your reply. I have only plugged into pc while unlocking but have used several different chargers and it is the same with them all. You think it could be the battery or some other hardware issue?
Is it getting hot? I know that there is a built in failsafe that will disable charging upon reaching a specified temperature.
Just got home and plugged in to PC and charged via USB same issue, phone indicates battery still drains. There is a solid red light on when plugged into charger both via USB and outlet.

Thanks for replying. Its not getting hot.
If you go to Settings > About Phone > Battery Status (or wherever the battery meter is on GB, I forget...), what open applications does it show using the most battery power?

It is the display. I get great battery life just when I plug the phone in to charge it dosnt charge it stll drains battery until the phone dies. I believe that it is actually charging but for some reasons the phone doesn't think it is.

Do you have the option to "Never sleep while plugged in" option set? If the screen is staying illuminated and the cpu is not going into deep sleep mode at all while plugged in, I could see this situation happening...

AmonRA 3.15 It did it before I unlocked and flashed the recovery too.
I didn't think it was related as I've heard cwm prevents charging while the phone is off not on, but I thought it couldn't hurt to check. Good luck finding a solution!

Im unlocked rooted running wetdream. Ever since installing it, the battery indicator wont show charge beyond 95%. When charging with phone off, it reaches 100% but as soon as I power on, it only shows 95%. I've done battery cal app, let die completely twice, charge overnight, pull battery while still plugged in (which I never got missing battery notice for) and wiped battery stats in recovery. Is this something I just need to learn to live with or anyone have any other ideas? Btw, im loving nottachs wetdream rom. I know this has been posted elsewhere, I've tried all those tips. Just wondering if there are any new tried tips I can look into. Tia

No need of any app. Just drain the battery till it powers off. Full charge without switching it on. Should get the 100% bck.

I never had this on stock, but with the 10% changes in battery, would I have noticed.
When you are installing custom ROM, this is expected. You can try this,
Steps:
1. Drain your battery till gets shut off, then charge it till it says "Fully Charged" irrespective of 95% or 100%.
2. Once charged, Reboot the phone in recovery mode, keep the phone plugged into charger
3. Start it in Recovery mode using CMW, then remove battery stats
4. Switch off the phone
5. It show battery icon with %, with plugged in remove the battery
6. it will show missing battery icon, then insert the battery.. it will show 5% or 20%
7. Charge it for 3-4 hrs, then reboot the phone, you will see 100%
This Fixed for me...
Hi I've been using Neutrino for weeks and have not been able to get past 97pc battery using all techniques on xda. I finally fixed it yesterday when I installed clamsysns 1.5 kernel and charged over night and it was back to 100.

Just an update. I installed the newest version of wetdream yesterday. Got it to charge to 100% then thru resetting up phone and such, dropped to 18%. Recharged but didn't make it to 100% this time. Got to 95% but 4200mv, so I assumed full charge. At that time it was bedtime, so decided to just plug back into charger for the night. This morning it read 100% again. So its basically getting its full charge, just not showing all the time. A glitch I guess ill have to live with.

i am trying to do this, but no matter how long my phone stays connected it never says fully charged, just keeps showing the animated goo at 90% on top of battrey, it can do that forever, should i try what you said even if it does not say fully charged?
I installed CleamRom 4.3 yesterday and everything seemed to be working great minus when I put the phone on the charger and went to bed.
I woke up to a dead phone and I have no idea why. Anyways, I get in the car and charge my phone on my way to work and it gets to maybe 15%. I take it into work and plug it in USB and check the phone to see it is almost dying. I got a pop-up message about the phone is currently using to much current for the charger.
It went from 100% to 0% in less than 30 minutes while plugged into the wall.
So I pulled up the battery usage and this is what I see:

If anyone has any ideas how to fix this please let me know cause I have no idea what is causing this.

It just started with the rom. It has shut off before at night while charging though but the battery was not dead.
How it is even possible the battery went from 100% to 0 in like 15 minutes?
It's not reporting right or a bad battery. The phone would overhead before draining that much power.

Try charging it to full with the phone off, then boot into recovery and clear the battery stats.

I'll give that a shot once it gets done charging which is going to take forever at work.
Also make sure you are running amon ra recovery....cwm has issues if your phone battery dies....
Sent from my Rezound
Are you using the HTC charger, or something else? A lot of chargers will only put out half the current the HTC charger puts out, and the Rezound draws a lot. I have several chargers, and my phone runs at a discharge on more than one if the screen and/or radios are on. If I set the phone to stay awake when on power, on some chargers it would deplete the battery overnight.
All chargers have a 5v output specification. IIRC the HTC charger is 1000mah. A lot of devices that work on early USB specs will only output 500mah or less. Check your chargers.
Don't know what happened but the phone is fully charged, according to the charge thingy before boot. But I can't turn the phone on. It came on once this morning and said it had 4% then died. So I plugged it back into the charger and its still saying its charger. But when its charging I can't turn the phone on and once the screen times out I can't turn the screen back on. I have to unplug then plug back in. The cables are just fine. I've tested on 4 different cables and 3 charge wall ports

Can you get into CWM recovery? What ROM are you on?
I've noticed on ICS Roms that you can't power the phone on while it's charging like you can on TouchWiz Roms. I couldn't even press.the power.button to see how far it had gotten. It's like the power button is disabled when charging when turned off.
The only thing I could do was let it charge for a while then unplug it from the charger and it would power up.

That's what its doing. But no matter however long I leave it plugged in it still dies as soon as it boots up with a brief notice of a low battery. I changed out the battery and it still happens. As for cwm, ill have to check later. I'm watching a movie then probably going to bed. Ill mess with it tomorrow and see what I can figure out

Can you reboot recovery as soon as it boots up? If you can, flash http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/update-template/bstats.zip to wipe your battery stats.
You don't need to flash anything to wipe your battery stats and furthermore wiping battery stats will do nothing to fix the issue. The stats file is simply a .txt file, the device does not decide that the battery is low based upon that...it reads the milliamp hour output of the battery itself. When the battery reaches that predetermined output level it shuts down to prevent over discharge and battery damage. It's similar to what you see in RC trucks and such when using LiPO batteries. They include a failsafe to prevent damage to the cells from over discharge. I would recommend trying a battery that you know is good (not just assume) get a cheapo off Ebay for a few bucks our try charging in an external charger OR if there is a US Cellular shop nearby they will swap a dead battery for a charged one. The mesmerize is obviously identical.
If all that were to fail try starting out with a fresh wipe and reinstall of your rom and kernel, there may be something funked up in there if you have "dirty" flashed at some point.
Just some thoughts...
Is there anyway to stop my S3 from turning off overnight while on charge? I use my phone all day so the battery is around 10%(ish) when I go to bed so I put it on charge and about 50% of the time my phone turns it's self off over night. I need my phone to stay on as I use it for an alarm. Is there any way to stop this? Is my S3 faulty?

Is it running JB? If so, it might be running the battery down for that last 10% faster than it can charge. If you are on ICS, it should charge just fine. When it turns itself off, does it continue to charge?

It's on ICS (WanamLite Rom) and Siyah Kernel. It appears to continue to charge as the screen just has a full green battery in the middle of the screen and when you turn it on the battery is 100%.

At least it is still charging. I don't use WanamLite, so I don't know if it has any custom low power setttings or any reason it should function like that. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
It definitively should not power off.
Try flashing to stock and check if the issue still occurs.
It might be the battery overheating and killing power which _should_ only happen when there is a hardware defect.
Of course it could also be a problem wrth some app or a unknown bug in Wanamlite, hence why you should f/ash stock to test.

I'm back on the stock ROM and i'll try and charge it now to see if it still has the fault. :good:
Hi, I've got a quite common problem - battery drain. I'm not such a noob, so I understand the way how the battery drain works (I mean why does it happen). It happened after changing the sim card. My sim card stopped working at some moment, so I decided to change it. After that I noticed that my Droid does not turn on. I plugged it into a charger, it got charged normally to 100%. But the battery is draining now constantly. I Changed rom, I wiped all the data, I did even restore backup from march, when the device was 100% functional.
I'm afraid I can not have a replacement as it is rooted, and a repair is almost impossible (I live in Poland).
Any ideas? Maybe someone had similar issue?
PS I got smthing like 10h of standby. That sucks.
PPS It seems that the battery alone is ok, as the phone is heating (so it means that there is energy stored inside)
Have you tried calibrating the battery?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
By what? Charging to full and then discharging to 0%? Yes, I did xD Smthing like 5 times this week
Wipe everything, clean install a rom, download a battery calibrator app from the market and let it charge to a 100% and then let it die to zero
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
As I said before, I already did that
But use the battery calibrator
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Battery is calibrated. The problem is not here. The problem is that battery is drained and it seems that there are not many things left that could cause the drain. Please stop posting as I can see that you are not giving any new ideas.
your battery may be just degrading all of a sudden. does it die incredibly fast if you leave your phone in safe mode all day?
Yes, I tried safe mode, without success. It doesn't seem that battery is degrading, as the phone heats up (so the battery must have energy inside)

What temps we talking? Try temp monitor app also of its discharging improperly it will heat up. Get a app like gsam and have it record what rate it's discharging at, sounds like a bad bat though to be honest. EDIT just noticed your rooted. And that you don't want to replace because of jag options. I suggest of your up to it to open the phone and disconnect the battery for a while. Couldn't hurt.

Talking about the opening of the phone, this is someting that I want to avoid. I can do that, after nothing works. Any ideas what could happen?
I've noticed it's happened to me but closing out processes and hard rebooting the phone seems to have cleared that.
Quick Note:
go to settings, battery, and uncheck Fast boot, then shutdown and turn back on. Let me know how that goes.

nope. No effect
1. What rom, kernel, recovery, and radio are you using?
2. I understand you charged to 100 and then let drain to zero, but did you reset your battery stats in recovery?
3. Do you have GSam installed?
1. Tried Supercharged, stock dna, hatka supreme (or something like that),
recovery: CWM
kernels: Blackout, crampler
Radio: the new one xD (The one that came with v2.04)
2. I charged to 100 and drained. During that I changed roms, did factory reset etc.
3. Nope, I've used (and still use) wakelock detector. The GSam seems to provide less data.
After all these weeks the problem is still present. I hope someone can help.
A Suggestuions:
Try an older microusb lead and slow charge from a usb 2 port, sometimes a battery has trouble with a charge sticking - try slow things down and slow charge the phone see if that helps.
I tried even the netbook usb port (350mah), still no luck.

but did you try it when the phone was at 0% and make sure your not using the fast ports, also try slowing it down further if you have any dvd players etc they will only push out around 100 to 200 mah may be worth trying.
Bar that i think the battery is naffed, i would say underclock but if you have tried safe mode its safe to assume itts not going to help..
The only other thing i have heard of but never tried is to keep drain the phone completely and then charge constanly by mains for 2-3 days. if you have tried everything else may be worth a shot.
What app or apps are draining the battery and how much time does it take?
There are no apps draining. The most impact (htc battery app) has got phone idle and wifi. After turning off wifi nothing happens, taking out the sim or turning on airplane mode does not help either
