Perhaps your battery was extra drained, to the point where it won't register the voltage. You can leave it on the charger for a while, or take it to sprint and they should be bale to jump it.

Wow I never heard of that. Any no a great Rom with everythingworking fast and good battery. I was running eternal 5.9 I loved it but it drains to fast.

I for one get fantastic battery life on Deck's 2.3.4 Rom.
Link
I use SavagedZen 2.1.0 as a kernel and I'm using an undervolt mod, and getting amazing battery life. Right now I'm at 11h 30min and I still have 40% left. The Rom also runs beautifully fast, especially with LauncherPro.

Try a different battery if it doesn't work unroot and take it to sprint

A battery question

What would b the reason for a battery not to take charge??
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
How are you charging it? USB or wall charger? It could be a bad cable or charger. Have you used any SBC kernels?
Battery could have just gone bad. I had one from launch day that would not charge. took it to a service center battery only they tested it and gave me a new one.
Wall charger..n yeah I switched kernels last night..I had tiamat SBC n switched to godmode to see how that was...when I woke up this morning my phone was fully charged but once I unplugged it n said yo charge my phone...could it b the kernel cuz right now its charging
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Im running Tiamat with the viperboy -100 script.
Ok then...ill just wait till tiamat 4.0 is fixed then...thanks for the help

Q: Evo battery overheating on regular basis

Ok so I'm running cyanogen mod nightlies(September update) coupled with tiamat 4.0.7 + SBC. My battery regularly overheard while charging or when my screen stays on or using certain apps suck as angry birds, music, gameboid, snesoid, etc. Any ideas why it may be doing this and how it could be fixed? I've also run the cyanogen kernel and the regular 4.0.7 tiamat kernel. I've run decks roms, synergy equipped with the freedom kernels, and salvage-mod. Every configuration I use, I have the same problem. My battery hasn't been exposed to the extreme heat of the summer and its always charging in a cool place. I'm using the original HTC charger that came with the phone. Help would definitely be appreciated because its killing my battery. Thanks guys.

Are you overclocked?
Nope underclocked. Running smart-ass settings underclocked to 128 and Max is 768. Still hasn't solved the problem.

So it does it, even when it's not on the charger?
You may have a bad battery or a malfunctioning phone.
It does this all the time. Right now spare parts says its at 43.8°C but before i plugged it up i left it off for 20 mins and turned it on and it was at the regular 36°C. I'm hoping its not the phone. And this was a replacement battery I received from the sprint store after my last battery drained within 2 hrs on a daily basis. I've tried calibration and it doesn't help. Battery life is slowly degrading as well.

SBC kernels may overheat your phone.
Try a diffrent no-sbc kernel.

Try returning the phone to complete stock.
If it continues to do it then you're gonna have to take it in.

I've tried without SBC. It does it either way. Read first post completely please. I left every detail I could give including the different configurations I've used.

Well only problem with that is the fact that it did the same thing stock I got my replacement battery before I ever rooted my phone. So ill revert to stock and take it in for them to run a diagnostics test on it. Just gotta find the right location.

Well it sounds like either the replacement battery is bad, the charger is bad [causing the battery to be bad] or the phone itself has a problem.
Could be the charger. Half the time it registers as a USB charger but its the AC outlet charger and when it does switch over to AC it becomes even more prone to overheating. I know that when the battery overheats it can cause internal damage to the phone if it gets hot enough. Hope it hasn't done that yet.

Extended battery.

I bought a extended battery awhile ago for my samsung fascinate. It worked great and charged just fine. Now when I try to use it in my samsung epic it works but will not charge at all says its charging for a second then stops. Any ideas. I tried google but nobody has said how they got them to work.

It should work with no problem. Sounds like it went bad.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It seems like it didn't. I can pop it in my fascinate and it will charge fine

Supposed to be the same battery. Are the fingers in your phone bent any? Are you using the same charger for both?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Ya I checked that the prongs were all lined up and everything. If I charge it in my fassy and put it in my epic it will work fine but it won't charge. I used the same charger and then a couple different ones but still no luck

I am at a loss at this point. I wonder if clearing your battery stats would help any. Are you rooted with CWM?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Try in CWM
I wonder if you get a charging at all when the power is off? also what does it say if you are in CMW when you look it up? If that doesnt work maybe try resetting the statistics I dont think that will do anything but it might reset something we dont know that is happening in that smart battery.
Yes I'm rooted I have the latest cwm. I'm starting to wonder if its my kernal. I'm running the samuri kernal which is up to date. Eh mabey my epic just hates extended batterys. I haven't had a chance to check it threw cwm ill give that a try when I get off work in a few hours.

Put in the battery fully charged and boot directly into CWM and go to advanced and clear battery stats.
Well I tried clearing the battery stats and still nothing. It just discharges. I look in the about phone status and it says not charging. So I guess ill just try something else. Could it be the kernal mabey the samuri kernal does not support third party batteries.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
That's pretty terrible even if it's not conditioned yet. Especially because it sounds like you have only light use. You may want to take it back and replace the battery. Either that or you're in an area with terrible signal.

Take it back and get a new one. I just bought one on friday and even with heavy use my battery has lasted 20+ hours.
Sounds like a bad battery then. Happened to me on another phone. I just asked for a new battery and they gave it to me no problem.
I don't even have full bars and I get a minimum of 12 hours on pretty semi heavy use. I don't use wifi and I get at least 3-3.5 hours of screen on time.

A sales only store is unlikely to have any batteries on hand, we hoard a ton of new and used ones at my store, but we're a repair store...we're always getting folks coming from sales only stores for batteries.

Excellent news, glad it worked out. Where did you end up getting your battery? And if you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back?
Apps like Facebook would drain my battery really fast. I use friendcaster now. Also make sure your not using the wireless location in the gps setting.

Hey bro,
alright first off bigger batter longer to charge but it should be full. So you need to check apps wifi 4g anything that might be killing your battery.
are you plugging it into a car or a computer? because not all usb chargers were created equal!
