Battery life issue - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Ok so since I had my phone I noticed the battery drained while being Charged...
And my phone tells me its drawing to much power from the charger to charge my phone more than it should. I do use my phone as its charging but I'm mainly texting nothing else..I'm
S-off on viper LTE Rom latest fw and latest radio ... I'm not sure if its just my phone or my charger ...

I had the same problem.... Switch chargers and you will be good.

Abysmal Battery life but different after reboot?

I have an HTC EVO 3D, the battery will literally melt down to "red" in about 3 hours, and charge extremely slow or not at all, until I reboot the phone, and then the phone will reboot with a charge of around 60% and normal recharge rates.
What the heck is going on? My phone is not rooted, so I can't reset the battery configuration....or can i?
Stock everything...
try this. Let the battery die completely. With the phone off let it charge till you get a green light.
Do that a couple of times, will more than likely fix it.
You can also charge and then wipe battery stats in recovery.
charge and wipe stats ftw
You guys are so smart..it's not like he just saidb he's completely stock

Yes it's as stock as it gets, lol
Yeah I missed the part where he said he was not rooted.
Factory Reset.
Are you using the stock charger? I had this issue when I first got my EVO but it was because I had been using a different charger

(q) very slow battery charge

Hey guys I'm getting some really slow battery charge over here. I've had my phone plugged in the OEM ac charger for over 3h now and it went from 5% to 50% and the phone is getting hot also. I haven't touched it at all for those 3h and data is off so no internet. I don't get it. It's usually fairly quick maybe 1 to 100 for about 2h.
Edit: I'm running capcomalpha with fraux kernel and stock battery.

The following suggestion may be of no help in your case, but I've experienced something like this as well, mainly with CWM that doesn't support off-charging. The phone will look like its charging but is actually drawing just enough energy to keep the phone alive. Also, the charging light will turn off after 15 mins or so. One way to ensure that your phone is getting charged adequately is to check the screen; if you see an ultra-dim screenshot of CWM then you'll have to periodically remove the charger and reinsert it "restart" the charge. Then try to boot into android to complete the charge.
The phone is on I rebooted it and it jumped from 55% to 68%

buy a new battery and wall charger so you can charge the battery outside the phone.

You bumped a thread that was still on the first page after only 7 1/2 hours? Please don't do that again, not that I agree with bumping threads, but it is for when something needs brought back to the first page, not while it is on the first page.
do your have a case on? the trapped heat is cause the phone to slow down charging. it is a safety feature. off the case and flip over when charging. it should charge faster.

The phone has no case and was on the table so i guess there was nothing to make it overheat. Sorry for the bad bump i guess i was just desperate.

What version of Recovery are you on and as you said your using faux kernel. Try to revert to stock recovery or stock kernel and see if there is a change or behavior of your phone. And try aand see if fastboot is check on your power under settings..
you said it was hot. maybe you have some app in background using cpu. hence power drain and overheating.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Ok i swithed to stock kernel and its doing the same thing. I reflashed the rom and didnt install any apps to see if thats the case. I also noticed ita doing it only when the battery is low- 10% or less. Then the phone heats up and its barely charging. If its above 50% it charges fairly quckly and doesnt heat up. Ill see how stock kernel does tonight and report back.

Ok 2 days with stock kernel then a new battery then a new charger... 3h chRging and not even 10% of charge... Im cluless

Slow charging

Like title says, lately, my phone is charging notably slower. Even on my wall charger. I plugged in last night around 12 and at 7am it was only at 95%. I tried two other wall chargers with the same results. I'm running the latest ViperRez Rom, no mods, used battery calibration as always. I tried wiping cache/dalvik, and battery stats. Any other suggestions?

Having this same issue

I noticed the same thing but with my car charger. Was running nils ics rom with sense 3.6 and battery was great. Then reflashed the same rom and started getting worse. I can usually drive with gps, 4g and talk on the phone and charger still charged. But now lately I've started getting messages on my phone saying that it's not charging enough and that I'm drawing more than able to charge. Haven't changed any of my habits and all hardware is still the same. Not really sure what's going on

might just be a bad battery. if you go to you nearest VZW store and tell them your phone is charging slow and you want to try a new battery, they will exchange the battery right there.

Car charging has always been slow for me, on my dumbphone, my inc, thunderbolt, dunno why, USB charging is about the same.

i dont see why they would. its part of the phone and under the 1 year warranty. if they replace beats headphones, which they have for me already, then they would replace it. just talk to them.

Shutting down with 10% battery left?

On ICS my phone would alert me of low battery at 14%, then at 9% and at 5% would go red and alert me again. Now, on JB it alerts me at 14% but just shuts off at 10%. Has happened to me three times now, so I've gotten to where I charge once it hits 11% (if I'm at home). But That's shortening my battery life some and if I'm out and about is an inconvenience. I'm 100% stock. Anyone else having this issue since the JB update and is there a way to fix it (without rooting my phone)?
Have u accepted the update that was juss pushed out?

I had the same issue pop up when I wiped EVERYTHING except external SD and flashed a sense 5 Rom....after it completely died at 9% and then I fully charged, and then booted it up, Is been fine....try the complete kill/full charge method....Prolly has something to do with the battstat.bin file not reading correctly as stated above, let us know.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Could be battery polling not correctly updating. Once in awhile I'll see 20%, reboot and it will say 8%. Battery may be damaged if the stats aren't correct.

I've had similar issues dating back to the original EVO. Found this page that fixed my problems then thanks Swagstr. I started having the same issues on the new Evo. This processes helped as well. If you're getting shutdowns/ reboots at 20% it'll take a while for this process to get "topped off". Once i do this, my phone will work until it's been at 1% for 10-15 minutes. Then the batter will show completely red with diagonal lines through it for a minute or two before shutting down.

Here's a variation of these instructions:
Turn the EVO on and charge it until the LED indicator turns green.
Unplug it and turn it off.
Plug it back in and charge until the LED indicator turns green.
Unplug it and turn it on.
Once powered on completely, turn it off again.
Plug it back in and charge until the LED turns green.
Unplug it, turn it on, and use it normally.

Basically repeatedly do this until plugging it in when off turns the LED green almost immediately.

Phone says charging but batt drains instead.

I haven't been using my evo v because everytime I try to charge it, it says its charging but the battery level drops. Right now its on cm10.1 with an overclocked kernel but it would do this to me on the ruu as well. Any ideas? (I'll probably get a new battery to see if that helps soon)
Try pluging it in without the battery. If it works fine, your battery is dead

Your cable might be broken. Mine had some faulty wires after some time and it only pumped 20-40 miliamps while charging. So it barely maintained the battery level. If I twisted the cable in a certain way it charged normally.
So maybe try another cable before buying a new battery.

Just got home and tested this. My phone won't boot up without the battery and turns off when I take it out regardless to wether I have the cable plugged or not
Then it's a hardware problem

Laza Zcell 3460mah HTC Evo 3D Extended Battery on amazon
This battery works great! its cheap with the right rom can last 4-5 days im on harmonia and it doesnt make the phone bulky i think it makes the grip better. only con to me i noticed that if i dont let the batery die completely it wont last long for example if i charge it at 40% i get 1 and a half maybe 2 if i charge after it dies completely it last 4 days, it also takes along time to charge completely. Also make sure your using a htc cord i used a blackberry cord and it never charged my phone. i hope this helps!
You could try using someones battery just to see what happens. If the phone works, buy new battery and if the same thing happens there is something wrong with the motherboard. Just google which phones are battery compliant with yours and hope someone you know has that phone

wtf are u talking about, evo does not work without battery.
problems with discharging while charging are:
-smth is eating too much juice - kill it;
-bad cable;
-bad charger;
-bad charging unit in phone (thats a problem).
try to download battery widget pro, charging current should be up to 600 mA.
try changing cables or charger
Hey I was wondering what type of charging cable the evo v uses? 1000mah 900mah the cable that cones with phone.

Some of the 3vos will run without the battery. One of the older rooting methods required you to pull the battery and start an ruu then disconnect charger causing a brick state. The newer 3vos will not work without a battery though.

I had same problem with charging after downgrading hboot from 1.53. to 1.49.007, but only with charging from USB (pc), with the same cable if it was adapter charging was ok.
So i upgraded hboot back to version 1.53. and its ok for now, but on 1.53. you cant run cm10 roms i think.
Maybe this can help you..
