Over the last few days I've noticed my drops rather quickly once it reaches around 80% and it's usually just in my pocket doing nothing. Anyone else having this issue?
The voice calls I've made today totaled about 8 minutes. Other than that it's been some light surfing and a few texts.
One of the many OCD threads, when a new phone is released.
What's your screen on time? The power button could be getting pressed while in your pocket.

I thought of that but my screen on time is 43 minutes which seems about right.
I am ASTOUNDED by the battery life. And laughing at all the people who held off from buying cuz theywere worried about not being able to swap batteries. On my first charge, I got 1D 4hrs something and at 20% St with 7+hrs screen on. Amazed
Granted, twice I plugged into the PC for just a couple minutes to transfer files and adb test. I am officially blown away.
And I know, it's not exactly relevant to topic of thread .

Wouldn't it show up on the power consumption screen though with the rest of the apps on the list?
This helped me:
Charge your battery up to full
While plugged in, take charging chord out.
Once the led light turns off plug it back in till it's green. (i usually wait 10 seconds before plugging back in)
With the charging chord still in, turn it off.
Unplug it till the led turns off ( again I let it stand 10seconds) then plug it back in till its green
Do this about 10 times

Just wanted to make everyone aware of the sleep issue with the EVO 3d , even after the ota the phone fails to sleep at all, spent an hour on the phone with HTC and they said it was a software issue and needs to be replaced, if ur your phone is saying the same up and awake time in the battery menu take it back, apparently they said the phone needs 2 mins to go into sleep, and if thise numbers havent changed after that you have faulty software

Glad they are recognizing it as a h/w issue and letting you get another one. Hopefully your next one is like mine.
That's interesting. I have this problem on my EVO 3D, but I am pretty sure I didn't before. I started noticing it yesterday morning after I woke up.
I think I'll try a hard reset, but if that doesn't fix it, then I'll go ask for an replacement.

This is happening to me too after I took the OTA, my phone died in about 6-7 hours yesterday, steady decline on the battery graph. I thought it seemed fine before the OTA tho. I should take it back?
I believe mine was fine too until the ota, i cant 100% confirm it though, to check this out go into menu>settings>about phone>battery make sure the up time and awake time arent the same ive tried hard reseting with no success and also have tried killing all tasks, call htc about this issue, or just try to take it back

Nevermind, I just tested it and it seems to be sleeping fine now. It was just not sleeping while on the charger, but sleeps fine off. I think my issues yesterday might be battery calibration issues, will test out today to see if that is the case.

I think it's just a software bug. Should be fixed in an OTA by HTC. I have it too but my battery isn't affected so I'm not worried about it and neither should anybody else. Unless your battery is being affected.

Basically if your battery doesn't last very long. Its just like keeping your screen on all the time.
Yeah, I feel like this should be software related since I'm pretty sure it wasn't happening on my phone before.
Any ideas?
I was in TWRP at the main menu, instead of clicking power off, I pulled the battery to replace the sd card with another. Now it will not power up, when I plug it in..no red light?

This happened to me about a week ago. Charging it was what fixed it.
If charge it doesn't fix go to a sprint store and let them charged the battery the did the trick for.my EVO 4G once the happened, for.some reason the battery seems dead when is nor really dead
MGS on my iPad
Maybe check the battery connectors dood. I know some htc models have problems with those.
Coz i just saw it in 3D with the Shooter!
mines not powering up either.. Never turned it off, woke up this morning & it was off. Not powering up. been on charger all night
happens all the time to me. i know its a flaw, but ive learned to NEVER let my battery go all the way dead. If i see it get around 5-10% ill just put in on airplane mode til i can get to a charger. Also if you battery is very low, turning it off or pulling the battery will cause it to get an attidude and not turn back on for 15-20 min
Yeah, I have been having lots of "attitude" from my battery or power button or on/off code or whatever is making these things not want to power on reliably.... Not to mention the random charge-light-on-wont-turn-on antics. Has been happening more and more frequently and nothing i do works reliably so I just try them all until one works.
I can't have this. This morning I woke up to a locked phone, screen off, green light on, won't turn on.... And totally dead battery while plugged in? Good thing my nook is so reliable as an alarm clock or I might have been in deep **** at work.
It's not the rom or kernel... I've tested everything. I think it's deeper than that. I might not be able to wait for the nexus-prime.... Sgs2 might have to do.

I've seen a lot of these posts. I usually never let mine get in the amber even but I recently flashed viper rom so i wanted to do a battery calibration...meaning..reset stats from full charge..then use it till it dies. After reading these posts I realized mine hadnt died on me any yet. After 16 hours of heavy abuse (12 hours of normal music streaming, calls, text, web surfing etc...and 4 hours of just playing youtube video's with all radio's on trying to kill the damn thing) it finally croaked. Worked just fine though.
Maybe something to do with certain shipments. I've seen a lot of posts on htis but no one ever puts out a batch number or anything. Perhaps all the ones having issues came from a similar batch...and have some designation of affiliation with said batch. Just a though..if we could discover some trend in this...perhaps they'd consider acknowledging it and helping users with issues...or at least help new comers to the thread avoid particular troublesome ones.

It did this before I did s-off.... Admittedly not as much, but it also hadn't done it any more afterwards.... Until a week or so ago, and it just seems to be getting worse.

AWFUL signal strength. actually, worse Ive ever had on a phone.
my EVO never came back. I was at 60% batt life when I put on charge last night & was dead ass hell this morning.. no life at at.. Sprint tech took it apart it said the phone apears like new, just lifeless. swapped battery with 3 others, no good. So I figured it would be a long shot but I took it back to the store I got it from 36 days ago.. & Explained what happen.. Swapped me out with another one right then & there!..
BTW this is my 5th NEW Evo3D. thats sad...
During the night, my phone got soo hot, I could not even touch it. It was charging while this happened and I think it happened because the phone went under the pillow and did not have proper ventilation. When I noticed I unplugged the charger and took out the battery. After it cooled I tried turning on the phone, it initially went to the charging icon then turned off and I can't get it to turn.on. CAN ANYONE HELP??
I wouldn't mind going to ATT and getting another one but its rooted. Do you think I would be ok to return it with out them finding out? I can't get to recovery mode to flash to stock.
I tried searching for the answer..couldn't find one, most people were able to turn theirs on.
Plug in your usb cable to your computer and hold the volume buttons (aka get into download mode), leave your phone on there for a couple hours to charge and then proceed to boot normally. Hopefully this works for you, if not, buy a new battery from Amazon (needs NFC, preferably Samsung OEM). I would suggest getting this http://www.amazon.com/Samsung--CGPK...UEE0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327948609&sr=8-1 so you will be able to charge your other battery if you are not able to charge it through download mode.(includes an extra battery too)
Hey thanks for the advice, I'll try this when I get home...say hypothetically it doesn't work...and it can't be.saved.and turned on...could the warranty department tell if I have.voided my warranty by rooting it?
If you tripped the flash counter, possibly, but I've read that most stores don't check it anyways and just get you a replacement.

I was thinking the same thing. I thought it was the same thread, then I thought the guy just copied and pasted the other guy.
On topic... just let the phone cool down, and then see if it works. If it does, good. If not, try ATT and they should accept it. They can't find out you rooted it if the phone doesnt work.
Off topic- a friend of mine took the shell of an iPod touch And put quarters in it for weight, and returned it.
You need to wait a while when you charge the phone before booting it up, the phone needs some time to get enough power to turn itself on without turning off immediately.
after the battery cools down, it should still work, hopefully you won't need a new battery

I can tell you why Mr. Smarty Pants.
Back in the days before smartphone existed they phones did not get this hot. So, when an unsuspecting customer gets a new dual core heating pad they have no clue that they generate this much heat thus using their past charging habits ala under a pillow.

Phone placed under pillow is understandable but phone is under pillow while charging is just odd. You run a power cord under the pillow too?
I think the main question is why is his device getting that hot while charging? Will putting it under a pillow really cause it to heat up that much? Also doesn't the phone have a thermometer in it and auto shut down when it gets too hot?

Now that's messed up!!
A couple years ago when plasma tv's were all the rage, there was a story in the news about a guy that was going around electronic's stores, buying tv's and returning them, but he would have replaced the TV with an oven door!
Several days ago my phone started behaving strangely. Whenever the phone is NOT plugged in, the battery icon flashes continuously. If i plug it in, it stops flashing and behaves normally to show the phone is charging. Also, when the phone is NOT plugged in, the lock screen says it is charging. My battery life is dismal.
When i unplug the phone the battery indicator remains at 100% for a long time, but then drops quickly.Since this started i have to charge the phone twice a day with only moderate usage.
I am now on Shostock2 4.1.5 and Siyah 4.1.1. I tried factory reset, clearing cache and clearing dalvik. I also tried installing a different kernel (dream kernel) and a different ROM (aberration), wiping data, cache and dalvik each time.
I searched the forums, and the only threads i found seem to point to a bad usb port. One thread suggested cleaning the port, which i did using alcohol and compressed air. It helped for about half an hour, and then the problem returned.
Everything seems to point to a usb port that for some reason makes the phone think it is plugged in all the time...perhaps it is somehow shorted? So, it sounds as if my next step is to replace the usb port.
Still, I wanted to ask if anyone had any other possible solutions i could try before sending the phone for warranty repair and get the port replaced (or replace it myself).
Any ideas?
You are being kind of vague here. For instance. U say u have to charge it twice a day with .moderate usage. What if your moderate usage is 2.5 hours screen on time or something. To me, that means of course u will need to charge again if u want to make it he whole day. A bit moar info? Some cowbell?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2

Moderate usage means (for me anyway having the phone on, wifi on, gps off, no gaming. I only turn the screen on to check email for a couple of minutes here and there, and to answer the occasional call. Before the problem started my phone used to go all day without recharging. Now, even if i let the phone sit, unused, untouched, screen off (like overnight) battery level will drop over 10%per hour. I tried using better battery stats but none of the triggers have been triggered: if i try "since unplugged" or "since charged" or "since screen off" they all show zero seconds...I'm guessing that being "plugged in" continuously is messing with the triggers.
Still, the battery drain is not really the problem. The problem is that the phone seems to think it is plugged in continuously, even when it is not. It sounds like a bad usb port, or a port about to fail completely, but before i try to replace it i wanted to know if anyone had any other possible ideas.
People usually scrub the inside of the port with an alcohol swab if I'm not mistaken. Thought I've seen that posted, never had this problems myself.

My USB port needs to be replaced due to wear ( loose fit of cable). The ones for I777 I have found are $7.00 but are port alone, ones that are for I9100 are $15.00 but are attached to the ribbon cable. I plan to take phone apart to try to determine if the I9100 part will work. The price to have it repaired by MobileTechVideos is $40.00 plus shipping.

Definitely sounds like symptoms of a bad USB port to me. One thing you might do if you want additional confirmation, is to flash back to stock firmware (to rule out firmware issues...though I don't know of anyone who has confirmed this type of symptom being caused by bad firmware) and grab an older copy of BBS that will continue to report stats when plugged in (or maybe it will still do this if you set custom ref? I haven't tried.) There is a wakelock that will show for plugged in...vbus_present I think it is. Or you can also watch CPUSpy - if it continually thinks it's plugged in you'll get zero deep-sleep.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.i tried sering a custom reference in bbs but no luck. No matter what i try they all show zero seconds. If i look at the battery graph in the system menu, it says the phone has been charging non-stop for the past two days, which is not the case. I will try cpuspy and report back.
Get a tooth pick and push up or down on the metal insert inside of port. May take a few tries but will work. I believe it is caused by your chargers 5 little metal cables bent when you plug into phone...

BBS update
FYI - I just grabbed the latest RC for BBS, and it now has a toggle-able option to log stats while charging (with a caveat to use at your own risk...stats may be inconsistent). Might be another tool for further investigation.

I tried cpu spy. i left the phone untouched, unplugged screen off for about 90 minutes. Cpu spy shows the phone spent almost all of that time at 200 mhz, never entered deep sleep. So it does seem to be a hardware problem, where the phone thinks it is plugged in continuously. i will carefully try the suggestion above to straighten the pins inside the port..maybe they are bent and somehow shorting. If i screw up the port....well, i probably have to change it anyway

Well it's not my cable. What it does is act like it is connected with no cable being connected. Therefor causing it to act like it is charging. Then it prevents deep sleep and wakes and vibrates every so often. Really quite annoying and killer to battery life...

See my previous post asking what you've done to try and fix it.

So this morning I start playing music on my phone as I'm getting ready to take a shower (shower off at this time) and then the music stops - of course, the phone doesn't respond to the power button. So, I've tried recalibrating the charging circuit and booting into hboot, but with no luck. The charging lights do not turn on and the capacitive lights do not flash when holding the power (or any other additional combination of) button. I'm going to leave it on a charger for a day or so and see if I can get anywhere then. In the meantime, is there anything else you can advise me to try? I've read that disconnecting the battery for a few moments might do something, so I think that'll be my next step if keeping it on the charger doesn't result in anything.
Any advice is welcome, of course.
Cheers,
Griffin
Yeah so far the only thing I have seen with people who have had the same problem were disconnecting the battery. Or most people just get a replacement.

So I disassembled it and pulled the battery for about ten minutes and reconnected it - to no avail. Is there a way I can test the battery? I have access to a multimeter, but I'm not entirely sure where to make contact on the battery's connector. I'm going to leave the battery disconnected for several hours and see what I can do then.
I seen in another thread like this about calibrating the battery but I can't find it.
to calibrate battery turn phone off and plug device into outlet press and hold power volume up and down at the same time until device poowers one or two minutes has passed if two minutes has passed call htc or asurion and replace it

Welp, battery disconnected for ~24 hours and then attempted recalibration - nothing. I think I've got a bad component somewhere in there. I'm going to take up Best Buy's blue HTC One for $30 on Black Friday, but I'm definitely going to see if I can find out what's wrong with this thing, this hardware is not going to waste!
Thanks for the advice everyone!
Try another charger, maybe the one you've been using is bodied.
The same thing happened to me, I used my warranty and luckily I had 2 days left. I think we should start to really look into this problem, because I see it popping up more and more, and it is kind of **** that one year after this phone came out and everyone phone is bricking with no easy solution.
Were you rooted/rommed and what rom?
Rooted n ROM has nothing to do with it charging

Mine crapped out in a similar fashion last week. Disassembled it yesterday and also had no luck with disconnecting the battery.
Anyone hook up a volt meter to these bricked phones? It might be a bad batch of batteries, or they just give out after a year of heavy to medium use. Anyone try a replacement battery? I am just hoping this phone doesn't randomly give out like this, but the trend seems to show sooner or later they just brick themselves.

I'm not sure if it is the battery specifically, yet.
Hate to necro a thread, but we're always asked to search, so..
Did you ever get this resolved, OP? Mine literally just did the same thing. I was watching a YouTube video and it died in my hands. Full battery, had just taken it off the charger like 30 minutes prior. Absolutely no activity, no lights, no flashing, nothing. Get nothing when attaching it to the computer, too.
I'm really hesitant about getting a replacement because I don't want to be somewhere where I NEED the phone and have this happen. I guess I'll get a replacement and sell it for another phone. Damn.
Disconnect it from the charger for an hour, then connect it to a charger and wait a half hour to see if the charging light comes on and then turn it on.

Tried it. I tried everything I can think of. I'm getting a replacement from Verizon and selling it for the Moto X. No way am I gonna risk this happening again.
This looks like some soft if hardware failure but no one has been able to tell exactly what happens. Sorry to hear this happen to you.

It happens so suddenly. The phone has been flawless since I got it. The only thing I can think of that was weird was a hard reset last week, but I just chalked that up to CM nightly issues. Oh well.
