Hey guys I'm having a little bit of a crisis here. I installed Cyanogen on my HTC Evo a few days ago and have been loving it due to increased performance and battery life. Today, I tried to charge my phone and I get zilch. I've tried different cable and different chargers, even tested them with a multimeter to find they are working properly. So far I've read cyanogen can cause this with the Evos, my problem is custom rom voided the warranty on my not-even-month-old/never-dropped-phone and is currently at a 1% charge with no way to charge the phone to restore my stock ROM. Does anyone know if there are any solutions to this problem or know of a way to revert stock ROM so I don't get raped by Sprint for wanting a a more efficient ROM.
P.S. Phone does boot up

Try charging it with the phone turned off
tried it still nothing : (
I don't think I've ever heard of one not charging while it's off, could be an issue with the port on the phone. You could try charging from recovery and seeing if that works.
My last ditch effort, if you have the necessary SD adapter and reader, would be:
Grab a stock ROM in PC36IMG format from this thread
Put it on the SD card (make sure it's named PC36IMG.zip and you put it on the root of the card)
Get another battery or a standalone battery charger, just something to get you powered up just long enough to flash - if it helps, the Touch Pro 2 uses the same battery
Start up the bootloader (turn on the phone with Vol Down+Power) and let it apply the PC36IMG
Take it back to Sprint and get it fixed!

The charging issue was a kernal problem that was long ago fixed. I doubt the cyanogenmod rom has anything to do with your issue. When the was a problem the phone would charge when turned off, since yours doesn't I would venture to guess your problem lies else where.
Yeah, I'm defaulting to a hardware issue to now that the phone will not charge, or boot up even though we charged the battery externally. Also the phone vibrates indefinitely if I try to boot pressing down on the volume and power
Just an idea, if you have access... charge the battery thru something else (another Evo or phone that uses that battery, or a dock)... then do what you gotta do to get back to stock...

hey guys, long term lurker here and i have taken the plunge and rooted my phone at last.
ok i got a questions which has been bugging me
i have recently flashed the GingerBurst Sense 2.1 |Android 2.3.3 |Jun 27| Stable Data2SD
i could not wait and flashed it on around 10% battery, i have flashed other ROMS (oxygen, cyanogen, leedroid) before going with gingerburst.
charging the battery is taking alot longer then usual on this ROM while i was on the other roms this was not the case.....altho i have to say that i did flash those on full battery yesterday and charging the battery was normal like before i rooted.
6 hours on and the battery has only reached 70% charge and in that time i could have charged the battery 3 times over by now.
i have looked for an answer (could not post over at dev section due to being new here) but it mentioned something about wiping battery stats ?
would this help and do i wait for the battery to reach 100% before doing this ?
also like to add that i love this ROM its nice and quick with tons of space i need for work email and gmail and space for apps that i need (some apps not being able to shift to SD) and this is using a class 2 card for the time being.
thanks again guys great job on ROM
tried re-calibrating the battery?
there's an app for it too in the market
Will give it a try when I get to 100%
Battery. Tried everything else.
Cheers

Turn. The phone off then let it charge. Its faster
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
problem with that is i need my phone, don't have a spare lying around as i got rid of those at the supermarket old phone bin. (big mistake i now know ) will have to pick up a spare cheap phone as i cannot miss calls or get it diverted to house phone.
it also runs down alot faster as well. i had 40% around 9am this morning around 2.30-3pm gone.
thinking of getting the calibration done and if that does not sort it then go back to stock firmware.
ok after much waiting around, battery life on this rom is really rubbsih, it drains really quickly (i used set CPU to unclock it and yet same result)
i think i will go back to starburst, hopefully that sorts out the problem i have on this rom
when i was on stock it was fine no battery drain, and charges fast as usual. hopefully starburst is the same, or my battery has gone
Yeah, it really sounds like you need to re-calibrate your battery. I've had the same issue a few times when flashing different roms.

i did calibrate my battery last night when i got to 100% using the calibration tool from market.......this tool required root.
how else do you calibrate battery without using this method ?
I found a post about using different kernals that improve battery life over at starburst site
Edit: due to being new user cannot link
starburst.droidzone.in/starburst-rom-home/resources/improving-battery-life/
now does anyone know if there is something similar for gingerburst ?
I've ran all of droidzone's roms (except gingerburst) and have not any issues with battery drain compared with stock, if you use setCPU, you can even gain some.
I would advise to recalibrate your battery, go to recover and wipe the stats as well and give it a good two weeks to see how it is.

i was ok on using leedroids rom and had no issues with battery, i was on starburst (very briefly tho) and did not detect any problems.....but if this continues i may go back to it.
ok i will calibrate battery first then wipe the battery stats in recovery in advance section.
will see how it goes for a few days. cos i was like 15% battery this morning and literally in 20mins it had shut down (lucky i was half awake otherwise i would have fell asleep again with no alarm and missed work).
on stock rom (before rooting) it would have lasted at least 1hr+ with the same battery level.
im waiting on a class 10 card hopefully in the morning.

best of luck with your class 10. I had to return mine, and many others here using class 10 cards have had problems.

bloody hell....i was going to buy a class 6 then i saw the class 10 just for a couple more quid lol......wish i now went for the class 6 if i had known earlier......
all i knew was the higher the better. im running a class 2 now and its kinda laggy and well i thought 10 would give me lightning....oh well if it fails i can always return it i guess
cheers
Edit: well after following your advice on calibration then wipe battery data, i have noticed that the charge is staying on 100% after i unplug it. before when i unplugged the charge it used to plummet to around 96% and i barely touched anything. now its more like how it was before where its 100% and i have played around a bit and its still 100%
many thanks
New SD Card Format or use reinstall script ?
Ok Now the phone has stablised a bit, just got the new memory card, now i cannot find the information for this.
now i have this memory card gparted (using the live cd) in a usb adaptor for it.
now question is how do i get this working on the ROM ?
do i shutdown, put in new memory card, then boot into recovery ?
then do i use the Data2SD installer ? or the reinstaller for the new card ? or do i have to wipe clean and start over ?
i know alot of people would be wondering the same thing and i could not find an answer for it.

Thanks for the answer, gonna do a titanium update on the current card then i will do the new one in the morning.
was not sure if i would use the reinstaller or the normal install, now that is cleared up i can look forward getting a nice lag free interface
Been using the ROM for 2 weeks and have seen battery life back to normal but had to disable sync on my gmail. This is a bit rubbish.
Also noticed that sense crashes a lot when gaming or browsing the web or when on flash sites. So it takes time to reload and more time wasted when making calls and reading messages. Also lags when using alarm and putting on new widgets.
May go back to an older sense version for stability.

I recently bought 2 Chinese made batteries with charger for my DHD.
When I swap one of the new fully charged batteries into my phone, it boots up and shows 0% then promptly shuts off, unless plugged into the wire charger.
This only happens when I use any version of CM or any of the new ICS roms. Doesn't happen in Sense roms or MIUI roms.
Has anyone encountered this same bug and found a proper solution?
Same for me. Keep powering up the phone. After four restarts it works fine for me. The battery needs to drain to aboot %98 for it to start up.
Sent from my Motorola Startac running Atari 2600 software!
That's interesting thanks for the reply. I'll give that a try with my batteries next time.
But I really wanna know is how the people who cook MIUI roms got this bug fixed. Seeing how MIUI is based off CM/AOSP, someone must have figured it out.
No idea. I've seen a couple of posts aboot this but no proper fix.
Sent from my Motorola Startac running ICS.
Same for me. When I'm changing the 3rd party battery, I have to boot to recovery first, wipe cache and battery status and then reboot the phone.
After rebooting, 98% battery level shown.
E4GT EL29.
it does this on both ICS and GB roms. Any Kernal, Modem or Recovery..
Im trying to delete the custom binary count so I can try and swap the phone out. Unless anyone here has a fix?
Ive tried everything. Cleaned the usb port, wiped battery stats, installed different roms, kernals and modems. Removed battery for half hour, unplugged.
None of the above worked.
i would start with a new charger
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I doubt a new charger will help. Ive got the same problem. went to ics 4.0.3and started getting the voltage too high. Battery drained fast and computer wont recognize it to odin back to stock. tried differant drivers differant cords differant usb ports restarted both devices. i flashed back to GBand no voltage message but the charge indicator light stays on and the battey still drains. And my computer still wont recognize it. Anyone know a way to use rogue recovery to flash back to stock so i can take it to sprint
Its the charger..anything higher than 1A is a no go
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Its not the charger
I had that problem on CM9 A2 and AOKP 32 and 34 but not on 35.
But in my case was temporary when problem suddenly goes away on both cases went back as fast as possible to stock.
Haven't seen that problem again, I try to sitick only with ICS TW leaks or stock for now until source is out.

sorry im still kinda confused by your post. it says .....bricked(?) voltage....... and u seem to be able to use 2 roms at minimum...ics and gb, correct? I'm just trying to understand, that's all. what will/wont your phone do? and just for ****z and giggles take your battery out set it on something flat like dinner table, desk, counter and try to spin it. if it starts freely spinning then ur battery is bad or damaged (would spin from battery swelling and not being flat anymore) and or just try a new or used known good battery. i know it doesn't seem but this could very well be a battery issue. couldn't hurt

Hi there,
so i gotta HTC one x last week, my first android..and I've gotta say that so far im hugely disappointed.
The phone has been draining battery like crazy ever since I got it. I've been charging it more than I've been using it, while it runs for no more than 4 hours when fully charged and heats up quite quickly. The battery usage options shows that the battery is being used mostly by Android OS and Android systems (over 85% for the former).
My friend suggested that i install a custom rom because it might be that the OS is corrupt. I bought the phone brand new and it came packed with an ICS stock rom. In the recovery mod the phone states that it is an S-off, with a CID #111111.
So i flashed the phone last night and installed a Jelly Bean Bindroid rom but the problem still persists. The phone drains the battery even when on stand by.
The phone runs fine besides the battery running out way too quickly issue.
Could anyone please help me with deterring what the cause of this problem might be and if the S-off thing has anything to do with it? and if so, how can I solve this battery problem? could it be a hardware issue?
Please help me. Im a NOOB at this!!!
Thank you in advance.
Might be a faulty battery. Look for a replacement OEM battery.

Check task manager too see which apps are running. Disable background sync if it's enabled, delete htc sense account if you have added it in account settings (it's a real battery hog).
Also, try to charge the phone to 100% battery 2-3 times and then check the battery performance.
Use BetterBatteryStats (search on here for the apk and instructions on how to use it).
Or, factory reset.
Hi all: I have been posting in the CM11 ROM for this device but I figured I would post my issues here and see if anyone has any insight or experiences.
I was on CM11 for 4 days with stability, speed and life was great. Last night I randomly got a reboot when looking at twitter. Fine, no big deal. 2 minutes later it happened again. Odd. I went into the play store and then it froze. I had to research and found out how to reboot it. Once rebooted, it would restart again. So, I went into TWRP, wiped Everything and then refreshed the ROM. Within 1 minute it froze again.
I flashed Stock and sure enough it froze on me. Noe I am annoyed and went to bed and figured I would deal with it this am. I plugged it in last night under 10% battery. Woke up 8 hours later and its at 14%. 2 hours since and its now at 17%. Clearly something is wrong.
Full disclosure---i bought a best buy geek squad refurbished unit and have done so many times with tablets with no problems. I am still within my 45 day return window and will probably just exchange for a new one since the refurbished price is the same as it was. Sadly, I wish they would give me a new one for the black friday price.
Has anyone had such experiences or have a clue what went wrong? Thanks
How did you flash the ROM? Tell each steps on how you flashed it. Did you mess with the CPU clock speed or anything? Did you also have any battery problems readings before flashing? I did a dirty flash of cm11 in which led to problems later, so I'm now on stock rooted and still works fine with no freezes. Probably tarp crashed? Happened to me.
I rooted via odin. I them used twrp manager to get the recovery and did a total clean flash. Wiped everything including system. NO I did not have any battery issues nor did I mess with cpu clock speed ( don't even know how ). All I did was use xposed to try the mutliwindow solution and downloaded lux and a material theme. Nothing out of the ordinary I don't think.

Either the battery is bad or could be something with the software. The only time when mine reboots is when I use to Much ram and it freezes. Other than that no problems.
I plugged it into another outlet. The outlet I always use charges me iPad and note 4 without a problem. I left for an hour and sure enough I got home and the tablet was at 100%. Yay. I started downloading my apps and noticed while still plugged in, the battery was at 95%. Odd. I took out the charger and Bam, rebooted. Off to best buy.
Wow it restarted and now shows 7 percent. I'll let you know what bb says.

Similar experience
I had a similar experience with my 2012 Nexus 7,it turned out that the connections between the charging port, battery and device were all faulty. They weren't soldered together properly when the device was manufactured (not as rare a condition as we are lead to believe either, regardless of manufacturer). I was lucky the I was able to take the device apart to check the problem without leaving any evidence that I had opened it, and I was able to exchange it. So from my experience, that kind of error always appears to relate to some form of battery issue. Also had it happen to me with a Galaxy S4, however it wasn't anything to do with the device itself, it was damaged connections on the battery.
