I have an inc and my girl has an evo. I thought it was funny to see that the evo didn't have the same problem with the charging that the inc did. I was wondering if someone could look into the software coding, maybe the solution would be there since the phones are very similar.
Thanks

Bump charge issue, when the phone is charging, and hits the full charge (green light) it will run off the battery even though that the light is still green and says its charging. so when u take it off the charger, ur battery will die rather quickly the first 10% or so because of this. you can temp fix this by charging to green with phone on. turn the phone off then continue to charge to green light, unplug and repeat. This will fully charge your battery.
Eris doesn't suffer from this either, I would say if it was easy, would have been baked into a Rom or kernel by now.

I would love to see a fix for this but I have a feeling its a pretty deep problem since not even the official released have attempted to fix it

There's no source that any of us can look at to fix this, yet. It is a proprietary driver issue

Ok guys, I've read all of the forum threads for this issue but have found no real answers yet.
Two days ago, I woke up one morning and my phone was dead as f**k! It had maybe 20% charge to it before connected it to the charger and hitting the sack.
Well, I wake up and like I said, the phone is completely dead. The weird thing is that when I try to plug my charger back into it (after removing it) it will not charge. I tried a different cable and it works...BUT, the orange LED that comes on when it is charging blinks rather than remaining solid.
I wake up this morning and same BS. This has only happened these past two days and I have done NOTHING to my phone to cause such odd behavior.
I know someone on here knows why this is happening...
Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated as always.
Thanks in advance!

Is your charge port loose...if itisit might not be making a connection

Let it stay charged, when it is super drained it will blink, but after a few minutes it should turn solid, then you can turn it on.
Bad usb port.

Something is killing my battery over night...
Thanks for the responses guys! I have two HTC AC USB adapters and two HTC charge cables. They both work fine from my testing. But something is definitely drinking more juice from my battery than it can trickle charge at night for some reason.
I downloaded System Monitor or something like that, in an effort to see if I could pinpoint what may be hogging all of my batteries power.
But as of right now, it is charging just fine and working just fine... I did download Google+ the other day because I received an invite, I have like 100 invites if anyone wants one by the way, and that's when all of this started. I also downloaded AdFree for Android but noticed that it slowed my phone down to a crawl when it blocked an ad.
I uninstalled it right away....
I guess I'll see what happens tonight. Lol!
I'll post the results in the morning I guess.
Thanks again guys!
I left my phone on the charger all night and when I woke up it was fully charged, but really.. really, hot. I noticed I had one notification which was a text and I know the phone stopped charging, and that shouldn't be the issue. After unplugged it, reset it, and answered the text It cooled down. I had a text just a couple of minutes ago and waited a while to answer it and noticed my phone was getting slightly warmer. Since I responded Its now at a regular temperature. Is it possible my phones overheating from pending notifications? I know that question sounds dumb but this is really bugging me out. Anyone have any advice?

Did you leave any apps on plus when you charge your phone Being "ON" it heats up more than if Off

I usually power it off.. because it also charges faster. I had no apps running and even turned off the data connection. I DID however try to install the gta San Andreas app from an "undisclosed" website.. (ehmm 4shart) which was a bad idea since of course it didn't work.. I really hope im not gonna have to end up re-installing this rom and theme, since i just installed it 3 days ago.
what are a couple things that would cause over heating? maybe that can help out.. thanks
If your phone is in use while on the charger... the display being really high the normal things.... that cause overheating like leaveing it clocked at 1500mhz
Sent From My "epic" SPH-D700 via XDA Premium
True, I think my display was on, and it usually is pretty bright. I just charged it again this time while powered off and there was no overheating (woohoo!) I've had this epic for about a year and a half now so I take care of it likes it's child haha...
I appreciate the advice :thumbup:
I noticed my phone got hot when charging (phone is on when I charge) with the EI22 ROMs I used.
I recently installed the stock EL30, rooted it, and installed the Shadow kernel for EL30. Now it always stays cool. Coincidence? Maybe, but I'm happy it's always cool now.
there's possibily charging overnight will make your battery broke inside (see explanation for li ion battery on google)so it easily become overheated when used normally
Morning all,
I run:
rooted HTC One X running Renovate ROM
this phone is one of the faulty batch with the dodgey wifi issue
I have repaired the wifi issue
the phone has been working fine for the last 3 weeks
I plugged the phone in to charge last night
this morning it is totally dead, there is no charging light when plugged in,
I did notice that the phone was running very hot last night
phone is on T-Mobile UK
any ideas?
suspect the phone overheated and it cooked the battery
Sorry to hear that, I don't think it's a good idea to charge it through out the night. Can you still feel the heat of the mobile?
It has happended to me !!!!

No need to worry, it has happened to me a few times. remove it from the usb, make sure you plug it back into the wall charger and hold the power button looking at the LED on the top, it should go red. if not just press it and wait a few times. I know it sounds crazy but it has worked ever time. once the LED comes on, just leave it to charge.
My fix was to update my clockwork to 5.8.4.0 that fixed the USB isues

Thanks everyone - I rooted last week so I'm already running clockwork 5.8.4.0
I plugged it in the OEM charger and into a known good socket (house is 150 years old and some of the wiring ....well...)
anyroad, I left the phone for an hour and when I returned the amber charging light was on and it was showing 63% battery.
I think I might have the problem diagnosed. I keep the phone in a 3rd party leather wallet which also has space for cards and money. I usually charge the phone in this with no problem however I suspect that the jacket caused heating issues - the phone was running Audible for Android last night, and the combination of all caused the overheating.
In future I will remove the phone from the jacket before charging overnight
phew!
and thanks to all for your assistance!!:good:

Every phone I've had (Android, WM, Symbian) has been charged in a dock overnight and I've never had battery issues...

This is nonsense, it does no harm to keep it plugged indefinitely.

Same thing happened to me. Plug it to your computer with the USB cable (not to the AC charger) and let it be for 15 minutes. At one point, it will start charging. Then leave it for another 30 minutes before switching it on.
What happens is that it goes crazy and instead of charging starts to discharge, and when it discharges completely it will not even boot into the charging mode or respond to power button.

Don't comment, if you don't know it completely. Just take time to read this article and decide. I won't get anything if I say something like this.

This is called FUD.
1) Modern Li-Po batteries don't mind being charged to full (damage occurs above 4.23V)
2) they don't mind temperature (to some extent of course)
3) they don't need to be discharged (yes, it can mess calibration, but it also wears them out)
4) all batteries in consumer electronics are protected, so even if the charger/phone does something stupid, they should not be harmed
5) battery explosions and fires are caused by mechanical damage or a short, charging circuit malfunctions are very uncommon
6) when you leave it plugged in, it will not harm the battery, though it depends on device what happens - the device can run from the charger and let the battery be, or it can run from the battery and start charging again at ~95% (this is what lenovo laptops do), or it can keep running from and charging the battery (this is what a HOX will do IMO). Everything but the first case wears the battery out, but it's so minor that you won't notice it at all.
This article was written for sake of having an article, it's full of misleading and incorrect information. I don't need to be a battery expert to notice that.
In short - your phone knows what to do.
Guys whatever you say but i had Samsung galaxy s before and its battery died because i used to keep downloading on atorrent all night keeping it plugged. Though battery was cheap just 10$ so no problem but htc has non removable battery plus it would be costlier i guess 30-40$ so i would recommend not to keep it plugged for too long

And the other Samsung galaxy s you had, which you treated identically, apart from the downloading and charging all night didn't suffer battery degradation, right?

I got an old motorola V3i that i have had for over 5 years, & i have always charged it over night from almost flat to 100% & it still lasts as long as it did 10 days a time.
I will take personal experience anytime.
I'm having an issue charging my phone when it's powered off. I searched all over the internet and XDA and it isn't the "sudden death" issue because it still boots and will charge when it's on. There was a thread in the T-Mobile section where members were having similar issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916399&nocache=1
I'm saying all that because I don't want to get bashed and accused of not searching because I did
Anyway, whenever I try to charge my phone with the battery off, I get the battery icon with the spinning thing and that's it. I never see the percentage, the LED doesn't light up, and I can't boot the phone unless I pull the battery and unplug the charger. It's not a deal breaker although I could probably get another phone from Sprint.........or maybe even a new battery. Just trying to see if others are having the issue and if there's a fix. Thanks.
A lot of people can't turn the phone on while it is charging. All they get is a green battery, but if you unplug it you can turn it on. I have this problem too.
There was a thread about two weeks ago about it. The title of the thread had nothing to do with it so it's understandable that you can't find it.
Edit:I found the thread.

I am on my third OG. The two previous failures appeared to be catastrophic battery issues. Both phones were rooted and unlocked. This last time the phone was having issues with GPS, so I rebooted. That was it. Never came on, completely, again. Sprint told me they can't fix it because the battery is too low to start. The one before had a "similar" issue, but Sprint had a doner battery to fix it. Can anyone shed any light on this. Has anyone heard of any similar problems. I hate this phone because the battery is not removable and it drains much quicker than my Evo 4G

I tried everything and finally received, today, my third OG. Not sure about the charging, as I have several types of adapters and chargers around. I thought the micro USB was a standard for power. I just want to prevent this from happening a third time. Thanks for your response.

the plug in is universal but some of the wall plug ins are different voltages I believe...I know my optimus 3d wouldn't charge when fully dead on some of my old chargers. don't know if that was your problem but it is strange to have two in a row do that.

First off, I'm sorry to hear that happened to you- but you're not alone.
I've been a lurker on the forums for a while now- and I had this happen to me about a week ago as well. My phone was acting exactly as you described- I was using the GPS, and I let the battery get low (~5%) and it powered down.
When my phone wouldn't power up after letting it charge, I wasn't phased at first- I had let my phone's battery drain low before (causing it to glitch) and had been able to restore it through Lgnpst or TWRP- but this time it was as if the battery couldn't hold a charge.
I got mine into download mode eventually and was able to flash teenybins and a stock rom- when I finally got it to boot again- it was only charged to 13% (after about three days of charging). I played with wiping the battery stats and restoring old backups just to be sure- but it would never charge over 13%.
I'm of the belief this is a heat failure. It was about 95* in my car without A/C and heavy usage- I was so busy trying to get work done that day I didn't realize how hot my phone must have been getting.
I'm picking up my new LGOG tomorrow- I'm interested to hear more about how you came to the same issue ( providing we really are having the same problem)
