Hi,
My evo 3d went through a full discharge when I wasn't using it - i figured I could just charge it and turn it back on - apparently not! It was running 17.1 absolutely fine, but now it won't even turn on! When i charge it the led flashes a strong red a few times then shuts off..
Try leaving it on charger for few hours. I had the same problem when I flashed my first ROM on EVO and just leaving it on charger did the trick

I guess your battery died then. I'm using the same ROM and I have ono problems whatsoever. You could try someone's battery if you know someone who has an EVO to be sure it's a battery problem

Guys ain't sure this is out there and I did search but couldn't find much on subject so looking for someone to confirm...
I now know of three different peoples 3vos batteries to completely fry around the 4 month mark, this includes my 3vo which is why at the moment I'm posting this from my hd2...
I've looked at all variables in the three different cases and nothing stands out... is it just HTC supplying crap batteries that can't keep up?!?
Appreciate some comments back guys and girls!!

Don't know but I have a problem that my battery never seems to reach full charge I always end up with between 95% - 99% no matter what rom I'm using

I've never heard of a single battery frying till now

Ok thanks guys... Must just be a coincidence!
Htc are sending a new battery out under the warranty anyways!

That is built in the Kernel I believe. Basically, your phone charges to 99%, then internally stops charging until it hits below 95% and starts again. What I do is when I wake up, unplug, then plug back in. By the time I leave around 45 minutes later it is back to 99%. You can if you have a recovery, let it charge to 99%, then power off, boot into recovery and wipe battery stats, then resume charging. Do this 2-3 times and you can get to 100%.

Actually I thought I read not. I seem to remember that is HTC's kernel and the same problem doesn't happen to CM but I've never run it so I couldn't say myself.
I have only had my evo 3d for 4 day's now rooted and s-off but never been able to achieve full charge yet
I always seem to get between 95% - 99% does anyone else have this problem?

It's normal.

Yep, normal. The first few times I charged my phone, it would sit at 99% for hours and hours, then finally go to 100.
Thanks guys thought I'd just got a dud battery

if you want to fix that issue, turn it off, charge it till light turns green, turn it on.
just run a few battery cycles man. it is perfectly normal.

It will charge up to 99 the go down to 95 then back up to 99. It will be like that to protect your battery.

This is the first phone that I've had that does this so for me it is strange to see

Your battery will charge to 100%. When it reaches 99% just unplug it and plug it in again.

its normal in every phone.electronic devices. the 1-2% are reserved in case user unplugs power before 100% is reached.you will see 100% if u charge overnight or turn the device off-charge until green and then turn on and charge again until green--bam!100%
The og evo used to do this but instead of reporting the battery percentage dropping it would report 100% no matter what. Its a huge problem if you have a bad charging cable cause it'll sit there at 100% till it kills the battery to zero.

So recently I had the issues when I turned off my EVO and wanted to charge it the red light showed up and then just turned off.
It didn't charged at all and the only way to bring it back to life was with ADB.
After reading a lot topics and answers i concluded that this maybe could be a recovery issues ( installed was clockworkmod ) and I was right.
So I flashed 4EXT Recovery, turned the phone off and yay it was charging
My phone is S-OFF but I think it should work for S-ON too.
Please post back and hit thanks if it worked.

Yeah, 4ext works very well for our phones. I'd stay away from cwm or twrp.

I had an issue that when the battery drained to 0%, it wouldn't charge at all.
Only way to get it to charge was with the tablet charger which pumps out much more power.
I know it's not good for the phone/battery, but I would only charge it to like 5% so I could turn it on, then change to a regular charger.
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.

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..
