hello everyone,
is there an updated or latest fix for a orange or green LED blinking light during charging?
The HTC Amaze wont turn on. and it has stock rom.

There is no blinking LED update for this phone on stock ROM.
If it blinks alternating orange and green (or green and orange for that matter) your phone is overheated and should be allowed to cool before any more attempt at recharging. This might also indicate that your battery is shot.
It can overheat by running lots of data over wifi, or other cpu-intensive tasks on low battery such that the battery is constantly charging/discharging trying to keep up with the demand. The battery can cook itself into deterioration after too much usage/heat, and may be swollen in the middle. If it is swollen in the middle, you can probably stop right now and test the phone with a different battery. Even if not swollen, the battery could be too old to work properly any longer.
If not swollen, you can remove the battery and let the phone and battery sit for 30 minutes in a cool place to allow them to cool, then re-insert the battery and attach the charger cable, but do not turn the phone on. Observe if the flashing orange/green begins again, and if so, I'd recommend trying a different battery/charger, as something is shot--most probably the battery or charger. If it flashes solely orange, the battery is completely dead/discharged--see if it goes solid orange after 30 minutes. Do not turn the phone on while doing this, so you can make the determination without other factors interfering. If it goes solid orange within 30 minutes, continue on to see if it goes green after maybe 4 hours, and if so, I think it's a safe bet the battery and charger are working, and it would be safe to turn it on and observe what happens then. If it doesn't go solid green within 4 hours but is solid orange, with a good battery/charger it would probably have sufficient charge to power on.
If it's blinking solely green you have a notification and the screen is too dark to see when you press the power button.

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer.
so this orange LED is more on a battery issue and does not indicate a hard brick of HTC Amaze ?

You'll know much better if you try what I told you.

So yeah my x10 turns its screen on after it is done charging but still plugged in, and I can't find the setting to change that anywhere in the settings. I'm using 2.1, any help?
That's normal isn't it, to let you know the phones fully charged, then times out.
The problem is, it doesn't time out, not for 4 hours or so
Actually I have to agree...kind of. It's a SMARTphone... Not very smart to keep on the screen for that long as the screen drains the battery a lot... I can't confirm your statement though as I always charge at night and my screen is off when I wake up in the morning.

But the notification LED stays on after 100% is reached and so charging the battery at night is not an option anymore but the LED with drain the battery...

LED in contrary using very small amount of electricity
If the led drains my battery I will buy another phone, to my knowledge this led is using almost nothing from your battery. I always charge at night, and most of the time it is at 100% in the morning, sometimes 99%..

I was wondering if charging the View/Flyer was like charging the HTC phones. You charge til the light turns green, shut it down. Charge until the light turns green, turn it on, charge until light turns green again?
There is no mention of that in the Flyer's user manual.
It just says charge it with the supplied cable and it's fully charged when the light turns solid green.
It sounds like you are maybe talking about calibrating the battery meter? I did the same as my HTC phones. Charge to full, drain to about 20%, repeat a couple times. Don't drain the battery until the device shuts down, its not good for the battery, and no real benefit gained.
I haven't heard of the sequence you mentioned.

No, such myth didn't exists for the Flyer and hopefully they also disappear for other HTC devices.
"Myth? But it works..."
Yes, also my days are lucky when I see a star in my morning coffee grounds
"But why is the percentage then better?"
Ah, the percentage is better. Yes but did you ever check if the device stays longer active? Surely not because then you know, that the accumulator didn't work better when you charge him in a special way. The only change is here cheating the battery statistic which is used to build the percentage. Therefor it stays longer on high values but didn't work any minute longer. Sorry.
.
Li-polimer batteries ALWAYS need a good full initial (out of the box) charge, after that, they improve in discharge over the next 5 to 10 chargings. The battery does not have any charge memory degradation as old Ni-Cads used to have so totally forget the 'discharge-recharge' idea.
However, as posted by redpoint73, never let it get below 15% or life is drastically shortened.
Best policy is, whenever you possibly can, connect it to a HTC (9Volt) charger and keep it topped up.
If you treat you devices battery as a 'only when mobile' power source; then it will give you long life. Don't misuse or abuse it...
I have a charger at the side of my sofa, one in the car (for long work days) and one at the side of the bed for overnight. Done the same for all my HTC devices before, and never had to replace a battery (which BTW, you can do if need with this tab!)
Ok, all that said...Is there such a thing as over charge? If I left the charger plugged in over night, would it be wearing down the battery? So do I need to keep an eye on charging and unplug it as soon as it's full/green lit?

You can leave it plugged in.
It's a fully regulated system, just like a laptop.
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
For some time it happens sometimes that what I'm reading or something else that I hear a beep and the battery suddenly turns red and then automatically turned off.
He is not on, I hang it on the charger will start it after some time, but the battery is not empty. Just gave this 55% when I hung it on the charger.
Any ideas what this is?
Run the phone until it shutdown of its own accord, then fully charge, till it says charged without unplugging at all.
This should straighten things out.

Are you using any app/widget for showing anything related to battery?
Similar thing happens to me but only below 10% when I used some apps/widgets, so strange that it happens to you at ~55%.
I use the battery ap of beautiful widgets.
I read the phone battery as those in state until it is full. Can I use the charger therefore out when it is full and has not launched yet?
do a battery calibration
Hi. I have problem with redmi note 3. Notification LED only blinking, when i turning on with discharged battery, only for a while. What is it problem? Thanks for answers.
As you already explained, YOUR BATTERY IS DISCHARGED AND THE DEVICE WON'T BOOT WITH AN EMPTY BATTERY so I'm asking you kindly to leave it charge itself for a while and then try again smh

As I said. LED notification only blinking when I turning on my phone on discharged battery (on red color for. While). Normally notification led isn't working, even when I am testing in service app.

Your battery is in negative state means no power at all it happened with me also, to fix this just plug your device to charger for some time like 20-30 mins it will show no signs of charging but it will charge after 30 min try to switch on your device ?
If nothing work, the last option (before change battery) is try to charge with inverse polarity.
You need to charge the battery without phone with cutted cable. Use inverse polarity...
Red cable (positive) in negative place of battery
Black cable (negative) in positive place of battery.
This for 20 minutes approximate.
Now try to charge with normal polarity (without phone during 30 minutes).
Put your battery in your phone and charge normally.
I repeat, this is the last option before change the battery.
For good maintenance of battery not allow low than 15% or more than 90%

Try with other rom, the led controller for discharged phone is in kernel but in Android is in system I think.
I don't know if I'm right, sorry.
