Hi guys
I need some help my evo 3d is not charging. I upgraded clockworkmod yesterday to 5.0.2.0. My battery died while i was out but now it won't charge. I've searched and it looks like a bug in cwm but I can't find a way to kick it into life. I don't have another phone that I can use to charge it. Can anyone help?
Did you remove the battery and put it back in?
When my battery dies, the phone doesn't turn on, charge, or give me any LEDs. I have to do a battery pull to make it turn on.
So there is no red light signaling that it is charging? I ask because when my phones battery dies, I need to charge for about 10 minutes before it turns back on, but the charging light is on.

There isn't any red light signaling for me. I went through 2 Evo's and both acted as if bricked when the battery died or I completely turned the phone off. It becomes functional again with a battery pull.
Phone plugged in for half hour no red light at all. Tried pulling battery twice still nothing. From what I've read it's a bug in the new Clockworkmod for evo 3d gsm. I can't find anyway around other than to charge the battery in a different phone. This is my 1st android phone and I don't know anyone with a sensation or evo3d
Ok left battery out for the last 5mins and put phone back together left charger out and powered on. It suddenly came to life! (i'm guessing battery had a tiny bit of life left) Waited for phone to boot and now charging light is on. Phew panic over. Thanks for the help guys
My htc amaze doesn't display battery % correctly all the time.
How can I calibrate my battery? I see a bunch of methods but Im not sure whats best for the amaze
Im useing bulletproof 2.1.0 and faux .008 beta 4
thanks!
what has worked for me with bulletproof is to drain the battery to under 15%, charge it overnight, boot into recovery and wipe the battery stats.
will try it, thanks

so i figured out that my phone doesn't read my battery life correctly anymore, it will be at 39% and shut down, then i turn on my phone it will have 4% and itll turn off right away so i plug in my charger and it'll have 55%
dont really understand whats going on any help?
I just used this app and it worked, it reads the percentage just fine
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en
I havent been able to get my battery to stay at 100%, just says 99% and i have to guess when its fully charged. wiped battery stats and everything. running the same ROM

As the app says, all it does it delete the batterystats file. Use root explorer and go delete /data/system/batterystats.bin and you accomplished the same thing as that "app"

I get the same thing.. and because the device doesn't die all the way(at about 1% it does a soft power off) I can't get it calibrated right.
I'm using senseless, and I think it is more than the battery stats file.. tonight it was at 40%, started bootlooping for no apparent reason.. pulled the battery, rebooted and it said it was at 13%.
It has been a solid rom in a lot of senses(pun?), but I may try something else because of the quirks it has been having..

thats what was happening to me, i did a full wipe, using bulletproof, then calibrate, Im still testing but so far it reads fine, will update if everything is working fine in a couple of days.
another method is abit troublesome...
1. charge your phone battery till full (off mode)
2.when full unplug it, and open up the cover
3. take off the battery and left it there over 90sec or more..
4. put back the battery n bootup your phone.. it should calibrate..
if your battery is used too long it might your battery problem

I might try this. My battery indicator stays at 100% for like ten seconds or maybe longer then goes back down to 99%. Makes no sense lol

I'm only a two week owner of the Amaze, but I've found curious differences between the stock battery and the Anker (1900 mAh). First, the stock battery will remain at 100% for a fair length of time before starting to drop (sorry, I haven't quantified it, but it's easily half hour to 45 mins even after making a call or two). However, the Anker battery drops off of 100% pretty quickly, as little as 10 minutes without doing anything. Admittedly, I've cycled the stock battery a few more times than the Anker, and even Anker says it takes 4 to 5 full charge and discharges to reach best performance, but I don't recall the stock being that quick to drop even after the 1st full charge. I haven't used the Anker enough yet to have a feel of whether the Anker will last longer overall, though.
Off topic, but somewhat related - The Anker charger doesn't seem to charge the battery to a full 100% - either the Anker battery or the original. In both cases, as soon as I install the battery from the Anker charger, the Amaze meter indicates just 96%. I even left it plugged in for another hour after the light turned blue, but it didn't help. Not a biggie, just an observation.
BTW, I got this from someone else who had already posted it, but according to a Google Engineer it seems that resetting battery statistics doesn't help. Read about it here: http://www.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer

exactly lol. my battery will stay at 100% (99% according to bulletproof) for a long time then once it drops it drops fast
I left my phone off while charging, and I'm having good results.. only weird thing is that it slowly flashes on and off the orange light and never shows green while powered *off* and on the charger.. I can't find anything that shows this is normal. Is it supposed to get to a green light when powered off and charging?

Hmmm. I would check this out! http://www.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer
I didnt think it improved battery life, My phone just didn't read it correctly which wiping battery stats does fix!
OK, guys, I heard that ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 has issues with off-charging. I tested that for myself.
I flashed Revolutionary Recovery 4.0.1.4, and the phone seems to CHARGE while turned off. There's a bit of a problem, though.
A few friends suggested that I discharge the phone entirely then charge it while it's turned off, for 12 hours. I did that! LED was green when I woke up (12 hours since plugged in), so I disconnected it and turned the phone on. SURPRISE ! 64% BATTERY ! I rebooted the phone, thinking that maybe the % counter isn't showing it properly. No, it WAS showing it properly.
What is the problem?! Is it because of the recovery, again? I thought Revolutionary CWM 4.0.1.4 isn't broken like that?!
The problem is not that it doesn't charge while off. After the phone's battery depleted, I plugged it to the wall charger, then the red LED switched on, 5 seconds later it went off then it switched back on. I believe the phone charged to 100% then it was supposed to discharge to 90% then charge back up to 100%... and it didn't recharge once it went back to 90%, but continued to discharge. Otherwise I see no explanation why it was at 64% after 10 hours of charging...

I have left mine on the charger over night when I woke up mine was green and said 96% it's discharging to keep from spakin the battery...
Once it gets to a certain point it will charge back up...
Charge your phone till 100% green light unplug it go to recovery wipe your battery stats reboot phone and use it till it dies.
Then give it a full charge and your good to go..

Charge it tll green while it's turned off, right? Then, RIGHT AS it goes green, I go wipe that placebo file?
I'll do that, I was planning to do that anyway.
I know it's a protection so it won't damage the battery... But it's supposed to charge back up once it's discharged to 90%, not continue to go down below 70%!

Use it till it dies then charge it.... with it off till it goes green boot phone and your good to go...
Man that is weird about yours being off my guess is the stats are screwy so this should fix you up...
Nothing too odd tho ....

It's been charging from 80% to 99% relatively fast. Stood at 99% for about half an hour =) .
I'll wipe that file, then...? I let the phone battery die and charge it while it's off and when the LED goes green I disconnect it? That was my concern always : do we have to charge it back up while it's OFF or ON...

Also, what ROM are you using? Given you're from the US, I believe you're using a CDMA ROM that is NOT compatible with my GSM phone . Right?

It's 2012. It's time to aggressively spread the word that discharging your phone, charging it back up and repeating the cycle 3 times while you chant monk songs will do absolutely nothing for your battery.
Battery 'conditioning' methods do not work, are not needed, and haven't been for a very long time now.
That is all!

Yeah, well, I did do that 'conditioning' and it seemed like it worked, at least for a few days. I guess it's just a placebo. That was when I had the Desire and the Desire HD. I didn't have time to let the phone charge while off lately, perhaps I will, soon.

Whenever there's a socket nearby and I have the cords with me, I preffer to stay on the charger and take out the battery. I know it's reccomended that you use the battery 2-3 times a month and never stay without the battery for a long period of time.

Oh well, my initial problem seems to have been solved. I was worrying I may have a faulty battery / charger. This topic may be locked now... just to prevent somebody from answering something irrelevant and useless to it 2-3 years from now x)
I'm also having this problem.. Was wondering whether there is a solution for us GSM users? I've installed the oldest ClockworkMod that I can find on ROM Manager 5.0.1.6, but that still seems to have the same problem.
Are there any alternatives? Or does anyone have an older ClockWork and a method to install it without using ROM manager?
Thanks

3rd party battery makers (like Momax, Seidio etc.) claim their batteries hold up to 80% of the specificed capacity, and sometimes, EVEN 60% ! That is RUBBISH.
I had a solar battery (China). It said it was of 2600 mAh. Wouldn't charge my old Desire even up to 80%... So it barely had 1000 mAh, lol.

And yeah, ClockworkMod Recovery by Revolutionary (not sure how to really call it, lol) 4.0.1.4 is the best... Too bad TeamWinRecoveryProject isn't available for us, GSM owners . WHY THE F*** is it for CDMA only, though. The hardware CAN'T DIFFER THAT MUCH .

just wait a bit more longer.
mine always stuck at 99% when charging for like 10 minutes+ but eventually it will get to 100% charge and the led will turn green.

I use a widget that shows battery voltage goes to 4194mv, at this point percentage show the 90%. If I restart my phone percentage goes to 94%!!

Hello XDA I was just wondering if anyone else has any sort of anomalies in their promotional charging cradle for instance I was charging 1 battery in there and it was still red indicating still need of charge and my other battery in the device was around 75% so I wanted to switch them fast charging saving time. Once the battery in my phone it was at 100%. Also once it turned green before I was going to bed so I unplugged it and in the morning I switched them and the battery from the cradle once I put it in had 13%.

Having same exact issues with both of mine all of the sudden.
Having the same exact issue. The cradle was all good until a few months ago.
After putting an externally charged battery in the phone I often had the problem that it was only at 5% or something like that. After rebooting und once pulling the battery it was at 100%. So the battery is fully charged but the phone doesn't recognize it. My workaround: When changing batteries I pull the empty one, wait about ten seconds, put the full one in, pull it again after a few seconds and put it back in the phone after some seconds and boot the phone. Doing it this way leads me to a phone showing 100% battery.

Hmm, that's weird. I'm having this issue as well so I'll have to try this and see what happens. Thought for certain is was charging cradle though and not the phone misreading the battery simply because it worked fine for like 6 months.
