My wife's Rezound (.605, ClearnROM 4.5) has been stable for weeks and weeks. Then, in the last 72 hours or so, it suddenly started ripping through its battery in minutes -- fully charged to dead in 90-180 minutes, even if the phone is just sitting on a desk, untouched, screen off. There doesn't appear to be anything running in the background to account for the drain (no Facebook or anything like that).
Any ideas? Really don't want to have to return it to stock, exchange it with VZW as defective, go through setting up a new one.
Thanks in advance...
a silly question but have you tried to over clock or under volt it recently?

best thing to do is go into settings and see what has been using the phone. Go into apps, too and see what has been running.. Finally, an app like better battery stats can really help you see what is killing it.
Often in cases like yours, its a recently updated app that is keeping the phone awake for some reason.

No to overclocking or undervolting. Haven't really had the need to do either since moving off our Droid Xs some months ago. But that was a good thought.
The screen appears to be what's killing the phone. For some reason, it keeps setting itself for Sleep/Never, meaning the screen is on all the time. The last time spent changing that setting seems to be working. Not sure why it keeps toggling back to that setting. May have to reset the phone, reload a ROM and see if a fresh start makes a difference...

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.
Not to be a smart Ass, but how would I know if battery is effected?

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.
Has anyone else had any problems similar to the below? I've had my phone for about 6 weeks and its been fine apart from the standard issues others are having, it''s not rooted and apart from maybe 10 apps installed is as it arrived.
Today I noticed it was exceptionally warm in my pocket (Top shirt pocket not trouser) to the point where I was getting worried, when I checked the screen it had used about 50% battery in less than 2 hours! So I checked what was rinsing the battery and it reported Android OS, the screen and phone idle all as top players.
I decided to reboot to see if that stopped it getting hot, still the same used another 25% battery in 30 minutes. Shut down took battery out rebooted still draining the battery and getting hot.
At this point the strange behavior started when the phone rebooted it said I had 5 missed calls and a text message. Checked missed calls non there, tried to read text message and it wasn't there but the notification was still at the top so I accessed the message from there and replied. Went back to message inbox still no message locked screen and still reports 5 missed calls that are not in the call log!!!!
Battery has now died and it's only been on a few hours!
The getting hot thing has worried me more than anything as the phone wasn't doing anything......anyone got any ideas please?
Restore factory settings or use the pc suite to repair the phone.

I also had a battery problem. It was the facebook application that caused the trouble. I deleted all the facebook's data, and today I have no more problem
Thank you for all your replies, I tried resetting the phone settings and that made no difference at all so I did a factory reset...........just spent the last few hours re-installing everything and setting everything up .
The battery performance has gone back to normal but I think the phone is definately running hotter than it was, I can actually feel it in my shirt pocket now whereas before I could just feel the weight of it.
Total newbie question I know but now the phone seems to be running normally again is there a way to back it up exactly as it is? I.e. keeping all my K9 mail settings, installed apps etc etc, it's taken hours to put it all back and I don't fancy doing it again.

i think this have been fixed by a Touchpad Calibration update by service centers since late last month.
anyone can confirm this? i am about to get a 'grey market' phone that have the exact same problem. if the calibration will have it fixed, then i'm going to get it for sure
yea u can even install astro file manager from android market which helps keeping your application ..
Not much activity here eh?
I just want to find out if the touch screen unresponsiveness, overheating, and crazy menu/back button behavior has been resolved by the touchpad calibration done by SE service centers? Is there a way we can resolve, or update the touchpad drivers ourselves?
Thanks in advance!

Yesterday i flashed the aokp build 32 on my i777 and did a full wipe, i also cleaned cache and dalvik. While my apps were syncing from the play store i plugged in the charger and fell asleep, the next morning when i woke up i found out that my device was switched off and it overheated, like it was literally boiling!!! I quickly unplugged it and pulled out the battery, then i put the battery back in and restarted it. Is it cause of the ROM or anything else? It did boot up and is working okay. but i know this is might sound stupid but did the overheating cause any damage to my device? Like any slight internal damage?

Not the roms fault.
As far as damage, no way to tell for sure. If it works it works. The phone has the protection system, that's why it cut off so I'm sure you're probably ok.

If your phone was boiling then you must have left it under blankets or some crap as stated can't be the roms fault and charging it and syncing apps is not gonna make your phone boil.
Mine has done that from time to time. Nothing specific has set it off. It's always been out in the open so no enclosed spaces to blame it on. A reboot has always fixed it.
Sometimes we gotta make sure to plug the phone to right charger when we go to bed!
I had this happen once, for a different reason. I fell asleep with it plugged in and a game running, and sometime in the night it got pushed under my pillow. When I woke up several hours later, the phone was too hot to hold in my hand. I managed to get the battery out, and I let the phone cool off. I put the battery back in and found that the heat had completely drained the battery, so I had to let it charge for a bit before turning it on. When it finally booted up, it was fine. No stability issues, no negative impact on battery life.
I'd say you're probably fine, but the problem you're most likely to have is decreased battery performance. You may have to get a new battery if it's too bad.
well i had never put it under my pillow, it was on my table when i woke up, and yes i am using the right charger and when i booted it up it did have full battery and i used it the entire day, the battery life was still quite the same as it was before. im just trying to find out the reason for overheating

likely something got stuck running in the background that was keeping the CPU at max speed.
I was running checkrom and similar happened. It turns out something made Facebook not stop when I exited it and throughout the day it would get so hot I could feel it through my case.
After that issue I flashed aokp and uv'ed 50 and phone is nice and cool.

Working great for me! Only issue I have had with this Tom is that Facebook messenger apparently will not run in the background so I don't get notifications when people message me until I open the app.
Finishing a flash while charging then immediately resyncing your play store account gets the device very hot.

No overheating issue here.
Messenger started working fine after reboot. All good now.
I had the same issue...
I had a very similar issue. I am on Build 32 (upgraded earlier in the week from 2 or 3 versions ago). I was working and had my phone in a holster, got a call on both my cell phone and office phone, answered it on my office phone. About an hour later I was doing something, so I pulled my phone out of it's holster and it was sitting on the incoming call screen (from my previous call). It was completely locked up and pretty hot.
I pulled the battery and powered off. When I did finally get it back up, the battery was reading 5%. So what ever was happening, it was using a lot of power and probably would have stopped in about 10 minutes when the battery was completely dead.
This is not a positioning issue, or anything else like that. I have had this phone in the same holster since I got it. And the fact that it was stuck on an incoming call screen from an hour previous means that something was wrong.
I am planning on updating to the new build soon, but I just wanted to mention that this did happen to someone else and it was not "got too hot under a blanket" or something like that.
I doubt that I can provide any useful information to actually help track down the issue. I do not have better battery stats or anything like that installed. And the ICS battery screen just shows a complete drop from 60% to almost 0.
Thanks.
no heat
I'm on build 32 for a few days now and I've not had any heat issues. I do use ES Task killer before I park.

I have tried using AOKP builds right from the first one. Every one of them had this exact issue happened to me. The phone will simply overheat and the battery will be completely drained in a matter of few hours. I always do full wipe before trying this ROM. Never had this issue with other ROMs. I love the interface and features offered by AOKP builds, however, frustrated with what it has done to my phone...
It started happening a couple days ago, but I haven't installed anything new, but maybe a few apps may have autoupdated. Anyways last time it happened was about a minute ago so I figured I should probably try and figure out what's going on. I sat down and launched a game. As it was loading my phone shut off. I turned it back on and put a song on and loaded same game again. I started to play and then it shut off again. Earlier today I was listening to music and was started a different game and it shut off. I turned it back on and relaunched the same game while listening to music and it was fine for hours. Any idea what it could be? My battery is also well over 60% so it's not anything to do with low battery.
Thanks.
i recently have this problem, some say that was stock battery problem or the phone is bad reading the battery status and shutdow, i am from Nicaragua and here is hard to find a stock OEM battery so, i try do a fix permission in recovery and the problem was solved , but most users solved the problem by changing its battery
good luck
This problem has come back again and has been increasingly getting annoying. It will now shut off multiple times a day randomly. For example I'll check the time on my phone and it will shut off. I turn it back on and as soon as I unlock the screen it shuts off. After it does this a few times it will work. I would then open facebook or something and be scrolling down and it will just shut off again. I'm running default ics rooted and unlocked. Never had issues before and nothing has really been added. I've disabled a couple things such as advanced task killer and single cpu thing with the hopes that it would help, but it hasn't.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Yeah I'm thinking the same. It is so annoying trying to send texts when it would shut down for no damn reason. I am hoping it's an app that is causing the phone to crash, but I haven't installed any recently. I got a new battery a couple months back but I wasn't having the problem then. This battery should be a few months old so I don't expect it to be the problem.
Love HTC. (even though I'm considering am s4 simply for a change of flavor) but HTC cannot make a good battery. They underestimate by a lot.

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help me...I'm at a total loss. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
About a month ago my i717 Note started having issues where I'd be using it and suddenly just power off without warning. When I try to reboot it without being connected to wall charger, it very rarely boot back up, usually dies again mid boot.
If it's actively being powered to the wall/USB the issue has never happened...Most of the time after this happens the battery will indicate that it is actually completely drained ie 0% batter life...however sometimes once it's plugged in it will show some other % that isn't even low battery.
This issue occurs even though I could have 90% battery life prior to the crash. My battery stats in settings shows normal discharge, then just a straight veritical line to 0% followed by the normal recharging...
I have 2 batteries, both Samsung OEM so I cannot think both my batteries happened to crap out at same time.
I had been on Black Jelly for many months without any sort of issue, then suddenly this. I have tried these things, to no effect at all:
- delete batterystats.bin in /system/data
- added several layers of tape on the bottom of battery to ensure has full/tight contact with pins
- loaded several different ROMs
- Completely wiped (Factory Reset, Cache, Data, System...and eventually even did Internal and External Memory wipes from TWRP)
- Odined back to Stock 4.1.2 image
The last application I loaded was Google Hangouts and was also the application I first noticed the issue. I video chat with my parents with it and first noticed it happen there which thought was odd since phone never warned me for low battery...however now it happens all the time despite all the steps I took above plus I don't have Hangouts loaded on the phone atm.
I am currently running Stock 4.1.2 and it's still happening there. As is I cannot use my phone for probably more than 5 minutes without this happening. If I can't solve this I'm going to have to go back to my Cappy which just makes me sad since my Note had been a good phone previously.
Since it's happening across ROMs and after total wipe (if there is any more wiping I should do that might help let me know), plus Odin back to Stock I feel as though it must be some sort of crazy hardware issue. I've only ever seen this happen when I'm actively using the device...it hasn't happened when in in sleep mode (ie screen is off).
Any ideas?
TIA
I agree this happening with 2 batteries is hard to believe, but I will ask anyway.
How old are the batteries? They are notorious to go south after about a year.
Are they swollen at all.

Thanks for the reply...
They both 2+ years old now. No bulging they would appear to be in good shape. I've never had excessive battery drain before, and currently when the issue is not happening the battery life is ok. IE if I don't use my phone at all, battery drain is about what I'd expect. I haven't seen the issue happen when it's sleeping, just if I'm actively using the phone.
Sometimes the issue doesn't happen, and it'll discharge all the way down to 0% normally...it's so random and frustrating...I do know that if I use my phone non-stop for probably about 10 minutes it's going to happen though, usually in less than 5 minutes. Again, I don't see the drain, it looks like normal discharge and I'll go from 75% -> phone off in the blink of an eye. Oddly if I then plug it in the battery charging icon you get (when is powered off) sometimes indicates it's actually not empty.
Also of note when it does happen the phone isn't hot, I can handle the battery fine. Also I have the OEM wall charger for the extra battery, so I know that the battery should be getting fully charged from that (so isn't a USB charge issue on the phone itself).
Is there a good battery stats app I can try? The battery stats in sys settings doesn't show anything hogging.
Thanks again.
All those apps are going to do same thing and I don't put a lot faith in them. 2 years is a long time for battery. Mine went south at about a year and went bad in a hurry. Running KK doesn't help either, it's a real battery sucker on our notes.
You are not the first to run into this issue with those symptoms. I believe more often than not, resolved with new battery. I just got one myself from Amazon for $9. Ravpower 2750 I think. There is a thread in accessories.

Fair enough I may try that...
The other thing that happened that maybe points to hardware is that previous to all this happening I got a bunch of errors when Play would try to auto update my apps, saying there wasn't enough space. I was on vacation at the time, so I didn't have any time to try to figure it out. Then this battery thing started happening. Not sure how it could be related, but maybe my RAM is fubar.
I'm getting my Cappy back from a friend so I may try that first, I kinda miss that phone...
