Evo Charging Problems - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So a week ago I was having problems with my evo losing half of it's battery as soon as I unplugged it from my charger. So I redid the clear battery stats method and it now keeps its charge like it used to. But the last three days when I charge my phone over night (like always) it will only be around 87% when I wake up. Last night I turned it off and it charged turned off for 8 hours and it was at 89%. Could this have something to do with battery stats or is there something wrong with my phone? Thanks.

No. Either your battery is going bad or the charging mechanism malfunctioning.

Thanks for helping. The problem was my micro usb cable.

[Q] Battery takes forever to charge lately

I've noticed that since I upgraded to CM-101 (I'm now on 106) that my battery takes FOREVER to charge. For instance, last night I went to bed around 1am and put my phone on the wall charger it was on 17% and when I unplugged it at 9am it was only 67% charged.
I'm at work right now and I plugged my phone about two hours ago and it was at 50% - two hours later and it's at 64%. Before it would at least be at 80% by now.
I haven't installed anything that I would think affect this (no major notifications, etc..)

Check your wake time, it could be that your phone is staying awake and sucking up the juice that should be charging it. Also, does your battery die quickly? A possible culprit could be tango, it has a bug that doesn't allow the phone to sleep.

I'll check out watchdog lite and see what it tells me. It did it again last night. I plugged it in at 12:30am and was at 23% - this morning I woke up at 9am and it was only at 89%. I turned it off and left it charging another 15 minutes and it was up to 96% when I turned it back on. With light usage (20minutes using Music and checking email/SMS message a few times) it's now 11:42am and my battery is down to 51%. It hasn't been this bad in at least a couple of months.
The only that I did over the weekend out of the ordinary was use one of those AA powered portable-chargers that I bought at a drugstore because I was down to 16% and wasn't going to be near a charger all day/evening. Could that have messed something up with my battery?
Worst ever
Mine too!!! this is crazy!!! my O2X take forever to charge and this not my first smart phone... i had HD2, touch pro, desire... all HTC. The only thing is this samsung n dual-core... doesnt make sense!!! so far anybody has resolution for this? HELP!!!!
Same with mine. Did you guys do the OTA update? I did it to watch Green Hornet and it wasn't doing it before.
I plugged it in at 1am @ around 50-60% and woke up at 8am and it was only @ 88%!
I used the wall charger, so it should be getting 1 amp.
UPDATE:
f*cking duh! ooops, my bad! I was developing last night and left STAY AWAKE WHILE CHARGING enabled!

Charging problem! slow or no charge..

ok, over the last week or so ive had this issue, gradually getting worse...
my battery will charge to around 40-45% and then charging will slow right down.
two hours later, it will be on around 50% if im lucky, and about 3 more further hours before i hit 60% (this is some of the time, other times, it just remains on its current charge%)
if i leave it overnight for about 10hours or so, highest it goes to now is about 73%, but this is rare, usually 45-50%ish.
ive tested with htc ac wall charger, htc usb, blackberry charger, car charger and a random microusb wallcharger. all have same issue.
when tested with two friends desire hd's on different days, my battery charged perfectly, and at the normal gradient speed over the % range. and my phone reads it correctly at the 100%-98% when back in my phone after change back.
i thought it was down to my phone, just dont know if its rom or hardware. shud i factory restore, or claim on insurance?
i have another issue here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18480603&posted=1#post18480603
which also applies to the question of restore or insurance...
thanks
What Rom are you using, i am using runny 2.2 only 62% charge in 6 hours
9 hours later on battery only upto 68% i have amazing battery life now
i'm using runny 2.2.....left it on charge for 2 hours with phone on, but wifi and everything off and it had only gone up 2% ! !
Turned phone off and plugged in charger, 30 mins later, only went up 1% ! !
72% charge at this point.
So took it off charge, put it in my pocket, went upstairs to bed, turned it on to set alarm and it said 100% on battery....weird!!

Lol this is an issue with calibration. The battery is charging but the software doesnt report it.
You have to charge the phone for as long as possible so you know it is on 100% whether the software says it or not, go into CWM, wipe the battery stats and then let the battery drain fully until it shuts down by itself. Then plug it in and leave it until you know for certain it is at 100%. If the green light comes on leave it for an additional half an hour. Then it will be fixed.
ive only recently got this handset, as last one was replaced on insurance a month or so ago, and its runuing on stock rom with latest updates....?

HTC One X Battery problems

This is my second HTC X one in the last 2 weeks. I returned the first one after 2 days because of battery issues. Last night at around 1AM I noticed my phone had shut off completely by it's self (the first one did this also right before it had battery issues). It took a few attempts to get the phone to turn back on. When I went to sleep at 3am I had over 50% battery...when I woke up the phone was completely dead (it was not on a charger). I plugged it in to my wall charger and let it juice up for a few minutes before turning it on. When the phone turned on I looked at the battery usage under the settings. Over the course of the night the battery had dropped maybe 8% and than all of a sudden it went from 50% to 0% in a matter of mins if not seconds. Phone seems to be fine now. Is this just a common problem with this phone?
Mine can't get charged to 100%, charged whole day.

T989 Battery Spazzing Out

My phone just started to do this about a week ago.
I tried reflashing, wiping cache/data, factory reset- nothing.
Whenever I charge, it will either charge significantly slow, or say charging but the percentage just goes down as if it wasn't even charging in the first place.
So I powered off for the entire night, (8-9 hours) and it will say fully charged. And I keep it connected to the charger but when I take a look at the phone again about 15 min later it reads 83% battery and charging.
I was really annoyed so I just left my phone on the charger again while I took a power nap (1-2 Hours) and after that I take a look and now it reads 68%.
The other day I saw it was fully charged so I took it off the charger and went on with my day. After, not even about 8 hours, it was already 10%.
It's like it only charges normally when the phone is shut off. Do I just need to replace the battery? Or is it something with the phone that drains the battery so quickly? I've already ordered a replacement extended battery off of Amazon just in case.
Most likely your battery. Go into battery stats and see whats apps are having high usage. Or download Gsam.

Im pretty sure its the battery now, the stats are normal and it doesn't seem like one process is hogging all the cpu. Can't wait for my extended battery next week, i cant last a week more with this annoying battery issue. Any suggestions for now?

Battery issues-wrong charge reported?!

Hi all,
Last week I was using my Note and the battery totally discharged. I plugged it in, let it charge overnight but the following day, I turned it on, started to play a game, 10 minutes later, I closed the game and noticed my battery had drained to about 65%. The battery depleted really quickly and when it got to 1%, it stayed on for ages and then finally died. I turned it back on again immediately and it showed it still had about 60% left. Again, it drained all the way to 0% so I turned it back on and it then showed 17%. I let deplete again and then the thing was properly dead. I charged it up and tried using a couple of battery calibration apps but it keeps happening. As an experiment, I left it playing a video from 100% and the thing died 2:38 hrs later. This isn't right. I've also had my micro sd card wipe and had issues with that since the drain.
Any similar experiences or possible fixes?
Thanks guys

I had this problem before and the solution is......FORGET ABOUT IT!
just use ur note normally....the cycle of charging and draining gonna fix it but dont let the battery drop that low again....15% is ur minimum limit
Use this code to give u the correct reading of the battery too *#0228#
Anyway of getting that menu up without dialling it in? I have the P600 so can't make calls due to no dialer app
