Alright guys first of all f**k. OK so last night I left my phone off charge and when I woke up this morning it just wouldn't turn on and when I would plug it into the charger the orange led would be solid then flash then off. So honestly I think its the battery but I'm wondering your thoughts

This happened to me before. Some say that you need a newer recovery, some of the older custom recoveries won't charge on a zero charge battery.
But here's how you fix it; find a friend with the same battery (you know, with an amaze or a sensation) and put your battery in their phone for a little while to charge. Once you can get your phone booted you'll be fine.

As much as you flash and develop I figured you'd have more external chargers and batteries than I do!(2 external chargers and 7 batteries!)
But yea, I'll bet you it is just the battery even if you have the right recovery.. so many little things can go wrong with the batteries, look at the little plastic tabs in between the contacts on the battery(look at pic below), if they start to bend you have to break them off - they can make the phone think the battery is overheating until you break off the plastic, and it won't charge..

There is no need to calibrate the battery. When the phone reaches 99% charge capacity, it will take a while for it to achieve 100%. Once it achieves 100%, it will let the battery drop back down to 95% then it will begin charging back to 100%. It is a repeated process. It will keep doing this until the phone is removed from the charger.

If that is the case, I would say bad battery. BUT I do remember reading that there were some Evo 3D's that suffered from the same problem, and they were also getting extremely hot. If that is the case, I suggest exchanging.

Let the phone die down to 15%, then charge it. If it drops significantly again, then we may have a problem. It could be a bad battery or an app you must have downloaded.

A smart phone is like a pocket sized computer. There can be malicious apps that can harm the phone. But if that isn't the case, I suggest hard resetting. If that still doesn't work, replace.

I personally had strange battery problems the first week I had the phone, and after that my battery life became quite good (I did the battery calibration technique from the og evo and it helped a lot also).
So if you're saying it's strange after a couple days I'd say give it a chance to go through a couple more charge cycles. I'd bet the issues will sort themselves out.

If this hasn't happened to you yet., and it's going to happen to you later. You have been messing with your phone without looking at your battery levels and mid rom flash you are out of juice, your phone won't charge. The charger appears to be working but the phone just won't charge.
I used to have a droid x and you have to use a special tool by Motorola to change the os on it. It requires you to be plugged in but sometimes won't charge your phone. Mid update my phone ran out of juice, I had a spare battery but the phone wouldn't turn on or charge. After many desperate appempts I found a fairly easy solution.
The trick is you find any usb cable you don't want.. You strip the end with the adapted part of the usb.. You cut the green and yellow wires.. You put the black wire on the negative terminals and the red wire on the positive terminals
This should give your battery enough energy to start itself up if you hold the wire on the terminals for a minute.. Although I'm not sure if this damages the battery.. I would only use this in case of an emergency,

They already make these "brick" charging devices. Not a shoe box, just a large battery that can charge your phone multiple times before it needs to be recharged. Pretty sure I have seen a 8000mah and higher.

I have the Nokia one and it works like a dream. I never use the usb charger anymore.
I actually have both the LG charging pad from Verizon and a Nokia charging pad (Not the fatboy, but the pad alone) and from what I can tell the Nokia pad is far superior. The entire pad is a charger (It is smaller than the phone) so there is no guess work getting it to charge, it also doesn't make that awful *BEEEEEP* every time you try to place the phone on the pad, it only has a single notification light to indicate charging which i prefer, most importantly it seems to charge much faster than the LG charging pad. The LG pad overtime seems to have gotten more choosy about where i place the phone, and does not charge the phone nearly as quickly as it originally did. (Which was never as fast as the Nokia pad mind you.)
Though in regards to the 2% thing that has not ever happened to me. Mine charges almost as well as a regular charger (at least on the nokia pad), I would also guess your friends charger is bad, or your phone is doing something that is using more power than is being put back into it, or there is something wrong with the phone itself. I'd give it another go and see if it was just a fluke. Too bad you don't have another pad to test with to narrow down the issue you're having.
Good Luck though in any case!
Mine is the qzens.
Just had read that people had their DNA stop wirelessly changing when they had the Nokia one. Probably coincidence cause that's what Verizon sells. I got mine used from someone that sold their DNA
