Battery Suddenly Died - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not sure why, it won't even charge when the phone is completely off, instead it simply keeps blinking the orange led.
I do use SBC, but I have never had a problem before, nor do I leave the phone charging overnight very often.
I managed to get the phone to boot once, but it kept reading '0' despite it being plugged in, and despite it having charged for over 30 minutes, then it died shortly after.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? I tried to boot into recovery and wipe battery stats with clockwork just incase, but it simply said 'Battery low!' in the hboot screen and would not let me boot into recovery.

Hey I had a similar problem my battery wouldn't charge if it had completely died. My solution was to charge the battery using another phone once its charged enough to turn on it should work fine. At least it did for me
Good Luck

Phone off, charger in, goes into recovery??

Hi all, after some info if possible. It's not a major problem I have, only just noticed it after 4 months.
I'm running CM6.1.3 and CWM, which work brilliantly. The problem I have come across is not being able to charge the phone once I have turned it off without it starting up and going into CWM. Now this isn't a huge problem as I very rarely turn the phone off, but I wanted to charge the battery last night with it off after getting a full charge when on but can't as once it goes into CWM it will stop charging.
Anyone got any ideas how I stop it going into the recovery when I plug it in?
Cheers

It's the CWM.

No . Several people reported this, but no solution found so far (as far as I know).

Re-enable fastboot I would assume.

There is no option for fastboot in CM as far as I can see. If its a common problem with no solution then I will wait, like I said it isn't a huge problem, just wondering if it was an easy fix I hadn't seen.
Cheers everyone for the replies.

Nothing you can do unfortunately. I'm sure there will be a work around eventually.
There is only one work around for now. Remove ClockworkMod Recovery.
Your DHD when stock, and switched off, would power up into a state of HTC Recovery just to display the little orange or green charging LED, when connected to a charger.
Now since we all replaced HTC Recovery with that of ClockworkMod Recovery, plugging in the charger will start ClockworkMod Recovery.
Sadly there is nothing else we can do.
still no solutions???
Reflash back to the stock recovery.
If I flash the stock recovery and then flash cwm latest 2.x for Desire HD, will it solve the problem?
My problem starts when I have the charger plug in and use ROM manager to reboot into recovery to wipe the batt stats, before that, it was ok.
This is a good thing if you ever encounter bootloops. You just connect to charger and reflash everything. I consider this a feature

not a good feature for me though ...
my initial intention is to recalibrate my battery.
i'm having trouble draining my battery yesterday before this happening
today, i'm having problem stopping the drain.
i charge till green led and the moment i wipe battery stats and boot up, it's 99%.
and it's going down 1% everytime i check it
and i can't turn off the phone to charge now.

Booting your DHD requires more power than the charger supplies, ergo if you boot up the battery is never going to be at 100%. The fact that CWM comes on when the phone is turned off and plugged in is irrelevant, the reason you charge with it turned off is to ensure it is 100% charged before you wipe battery stats, as the phone charges in cwm just charge to 100% then use the option to wipe battery stats. For those cynics who don't believe that the phone charges in cwm get QtADB and you can monitor the phone stats in cwm and watch it charge, simples!

Desire DEAD!?

Hi having a little problem with my phone, ive taken it to a few shops and neither could fix it.
ill tell you what i did, i s-off'd my device and it worked well but i didnt like the joker boot splash so i reflashed clockwork mod recovery in hope it would get rid and it did, then i wanted to partition my SD card but realised you couldnt do it through that recovery so i went back to the alpharev recovery! partitioned my sd card and flashed Defrost 6.0k which id had running before the hd rom i had on, i then rebooted my phone and it got stuck in boot loop for some reason? i removed the battery booted into fastboot and it just came up with a blank black screen so i removed the battery again put it back in and tada no power? no led when on charge? any help would be appreciated!
How long have you left it plugged into the charger for? Leave it for about 10 minutes and see if you get any joy with the led.
If that does work, you may have the USB brick. I'm just clutching at straws at the minute though!
i have left it on charge all night still absolutely nothing
Do you get any response when you plug it into a computer? Can you see it using adb?
Me too...
My Desire stopped also working today. Practically same symptoms...
In my case the origin is different, I was on Adamg Oxygen 2.0.1. and loaded the latest kernel from Thalamus 2.6.37 R5. All good, the phone was working for a few hours without issues. Went to sleep and left the phone charging (as usual).
This morning the phone was off, no way to turn it on. No led on charging (probably because batt is full). I can see the leds (green/orange) when on charge and batt off, but it doesnt start, no way to force start to recovery (power+vol-down), no view from laptop via adb, in fact it doesnt even identify the device, which I guess is natural if the device is not starting.
Needless to say that any ideas are more than welcome...
I'm not an expert but it might be dead battery aswell, no idea why people leave their phones charging all night long.. i charge my Desire from about 10% to full in like 1 hour.
u need to take out the batt an see if u can charge it whitout using the phone to charge it
First, thanks for taking the time to reply...
For reference, the batt is full, I checked it with a voltimeter and it is good.
I discharged the batt a bit as well, but so far nothing works...
So not a problem with dead batt...
Ive tried charging without the battery in too, no sign of life!!!
For further reference in case anyone is interested.
Battery is charged (tried with another mobile which started without issue).
I also used the batt from another unit in this "dead" one and same behavior, i.e. no turn on, etc.
Only behavior I can easily replicate:
Phone is off, no charger, batt is removed. Now I place the batt in and connect the charger, the orange lef comes up as if it were charging.
When I press the power button (or the VOL-Down with Power), the led goes off and stays off, the only way to go back to seeing the orange led again is to again, remove batt and charger cable, and then putting again back the batt and the charger (in that order).

[BUG]&[FIX] Battery stuck at 100%

*** Mod Update ***
Confirmed "FIX" : you just need to reboot the phone
To Reproduce the BUG: it's only happens when you charge it up to 100% with AC plug, and leave it there for long
However if you charge it via computer USB, then it doesn't get stuck at 100%

I contacted T-Mobile yesterday in regards to my battery continuing to be stuck at 100% after fully charging. This had been happening for the past 4 days for me. They really didn't have a lot of answers, however, the one thing they suggested is for me to reboot into recovery, in my case, clockwork recovery as I am rooted, and wipe cache. I took it a few steps further and did the following:
- wiped cache in recovery
- wiped delvik-cache
- wiped battery stats
- rebooted and charged phone to 100% at which point I ran battery calibration
Immediately the battery responded and started updating with the correct percentages. I have since charged the battery two additional times with each time the battery responding appropriately.
I am not sure which step fixed it or if it will indeed fix your similar issue. However, I wanted to pass along these steps as it may help someone out there.

i exchanged mine for that reason and it did it once and hasnt done it again. id sure like to know the reason for it
If you charge with duferent charger then it gets stock on 100%

I always used the stock charger and the issue was there.

my wife is on her 2nd phone with this issue. we have a day left before the two week grace period is up. i'll try the fix you suggested today and hopefully it works! i have a bad feeling i'll get some ugly looks from the tmob people if i come in there again!
On my 2nd phone, exchanged do to random shutdowns. Anyway, it happened on this phone as well. I did the steps listed and it hasn't returned.
It's only happened to me once, but a reboot fixed it.
Granted, it shouldn't be happening, but is this really happening frequently enough to be considered a 'problem'? I got my galaxy on launch day and it's only happened that one time, the second day I had it.
Couple of things i think may have resolved it for me, but i still am not sure what exactly made it work.
- Charged the phone to 100%
- Did battery caliberation which deleted battery.stats
Still was stuck at 100%
By afternoon i connected the phone to computer using USB, it beeped that the phone is fully charged, i unplugged it by mistake and plugged it back in and it displayed the correct battery.
- Charged that night with the original charger (Was using a different one before)
Since then it is working fine for me.
I had somewhat the same problem, only on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini. The battery got stuck at 100%, no matter what i did (clearing batterystats.bin, charging with original charger, charging via USB, bumping it...).
The battery also stopped charging at 3,7V instead of charging over 4V.
The last thing that worked for me was taking out the battery for 5 minutes and then reinserting it. 3 days of effortless troubleshooting, and a simple battery pull saved me from sending the phone in to my carrier.
whenever i get a 100% stuck i just boot into CWR and select the option to wipe battery history
then it all goes back to normal
i just shut down the phone via the power button on the right side and turn it back on. works every time. a shame though.. shouldn't have to do this.. i hope samsung/tmobile fixes this.

Yeah I just reboot it every morning after unplugging the phone.
Got a replacement phone and it happened again once. Booted in Clockwork Recovery and followed the steps I posted in the OP and it hasn't happened again.
Happened to me a few times....a reboot fixed it for me....not a big deal for me...i just reboot when it happens...

I also have this problem. I am currently rooted, but using the stock ROM/Kernel. Although I did have this problem before I rooted too. I was wondering if any of the ROMs or Kernels are known to solve this problem. Then we would know for sure that this is a software problem the tmo/sammy can fix.
It's from the charger. Use the charger the phone came with. im using the original galaxy s charger and no problem whrn i charge with other charger overnight it gets stock .

For me the charger I use does not make a difference. In fact, the real symptom here is that the phone is stuck at 100% when it is off the charger. Sometimes when disconnecting the phone from the charger after a "successful" charge, the phone will stay at 100%. If this happens, then even connecting the phone to a charger (perhaps after a couple of hours so you would know that the phone is actually at some percentage less than 100%) will not cause the phone to realize that it is in fact NOT at 100%. What's more, since the phone thinks it is at 100% it will not charge itself. The only cure I have seen is that when I notice that the phone is still at 100% after it has been disconnected from the charger for long enough that I know it should be less than 100% is to reboot the phone. Once I do that then the phone is good to go.
Maybe this can help... I've never had the problem until I charged the phone while it was powered off. Due to the nature of my job, I leave my phone on 24/7 and never had the issue until reading about battery management and doing a charge while powered down. After turning the phone back on, I had this issue until a reboot which fixed it.

If it's anything like the problem we are experiencing, then it means you will have to reboot every time you complete a charge, since it gets stuck at 100%.
This is getting to be really annoying ... having to reboot every morning after a charge. I really wish Samsung would release a patch or something.
Mines only done that once, it got stuck at 100 aftervi unplugged it, reboot fixed it, but it hasnt happened to me since

[Q] Epic doesnt go into charging mode

My EPIC 4G started acting up recently which wasnt a problem until now.
When i plug it in to charge while its off it turns itself on and boots up.
Before i used to turn it off and charge b/c it always charged faster but now i have a new battery that i was training. Somehow it drained the battery all the way down so when i go and charge it, it boots up. The problem is that there isn't enough battery to power my epic before it runs out so it never makes it through the whole boot up process.
now if i could get it so it went into charge mode i wouldn't have the problem anymore.
i checked in all the settings and i couldn't find an option for it.
thanks for the help
pete
Let the battery charge with phone on for about 20 to 30 mins, then try it again. U might need to cycle the battery a couple times

it won't even start...it just cycles over and over again
i had it plugged in and it restarted at least 6x before i gave up

try plugging the charger into the phone with the battery off. see what it does. if it is only doing this with your new battery, there may be some kind of conflict with your new battery making the charging sensor think something odd.
Need more info
What rom?

This happened to me on AOKP. ReOdin and repartition if you're up to it or on MTD. Flash your ROM again.

stuck in recharge loop

Hi,
my Xperia S (CM10.1)
is kinda stuck in charging, and won't charge or boot normal.
The device was working all fine. 2 days ago i drained the battery totally and when got home put it on the charger.
Then i booted it while on charger still charging, after 1 minute it restarted by itself.
After a couple minutes charging it boots up by itself, on screen it says "connect charger" which is connected.
Then i decided to "power off" the device and let it charge for a while, after a while i started it , after booting it still said: connect charger.
After a minute it did same, restart by itself , loop.
I then took it off power and left it all night of power, today i left it all day on charger, while turned off.
And tonight i went to look at it, it still shows a red little light in off state, and doesn't want to turn on.
Is something wrong with battery? has anyone have this problem?
Have you tried soft reset?? (Vol+ and power button for 10 second)
yes, that don't work (no response)
ok, i got it to reboot into recovery
i will let it in recovery mode for some hours, to see if it will charge in this mode.
i thought there was some battery reset function in the recovery mode? cant seem to find it.
TWRP recovery
ok , good news, just restarted,
screen says now 44% charged and is charging again!
don't know how it got stuck in a non charging mode, quite weird.
lucky i got into recovery mode where it could charge.

Sometimes it happen for me when I completely drain my battery. But not that long. Most of the times 5-6 hours.

Hello my ion died last week. Before it went dead it would just turn off within a min of being turned on. My phone isn't rooted or anything but what could it be? I tried charging over night but it doesn't turn on at all. Could the battery be defective because I got this phone around Oct. Nov. of last year. I got the TL now but I still want this fix because it has all my videos and pictures on the internal SD card.
