Just bought a new battery for my phone from eBay, the kinps 2450mAh li-ion battery.
The only way I can get it to charge is be physically removing it from my phone and putting it in a wall charger.
Every time I try charging it through the HTC charger from the box it doesn't charge and actually keeps draining
Does anybody have any ideas on how to fix, this is the 2nd battery the seller sent me because the first one he sent had the same problem

Maybe your charger is faulty

Don't think that's the case because it can still charge my old original battery properly

Maybe your charger simply doesn't deliver enough juice to succesfuly charge that battery. I seriously doubt that you could get two faulty batteries

Send it back and buy a battery from a reputable seller.

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,

Or you could get a cheap $3 wall charger from amazon or ebay (the type that holds the battery not the cable).
Did the same with my droid 2 global

Or use Amon Ra recovery... it will actually charge a fully dead battery.
Clockwork MOD has issues charging a completely dead battery.
This is for a situation where you need it charged at that moment.. Not wait 1 week for a charger.. Most people know about the chargers, but shipping is nothing near instant

yep, have 8 extended batteries right now. Don't think I'm running out of juice!
What if you could wire the batteries together is some way to make a 1 week shoe box sized battery. That would be worth buying... If you wanted to carry it around
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
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.

If I didn't have an extended battery then i would have two stock ones. Keep one charged and the other in the phone.
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..

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..
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
