[Q]About BATTERY - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright well I was using mobile hotspot and had my phone in charging and the about a hr later my phone shut off. I was wtf so I truer turning my phone on and it wouldn't come on so I plug it back on the charger then tryed turning it on .
Well it booted to the white HTC splash screen then look like it was changing to the boot screen but the screen just stayed black and a light flashed Orange (have no clue what it means flashing Orange ). Well it took me like 10 trys of pulling battery and putting in charger and it finally booted all the way up .
Once it was booted it said it was charging so I though ok must be a fluke of my luck . So I went to serf something on my phone (mobile hotspot was turned off ). And like 15 mins in after getting it to boot it shutdown again and did the same thing .
So I was what the hell is going on , so I took the battery out waited 1 hr before plugging it back in tryed booting just by battery and nothing so I plug in the charger and it booted . And so its charging. I downloaded a battery monitor and checked it . It said the battery was good and charging(USB). It is at 20% after a hour of charging . But the monitor says 6hrs30mins till completely charged .
My question is did I kill my battery for good well damged it or was it just acting crazy cause it got a really low or hot . Also why is it taking so long to charge now and what does the flashing Orange light mean when it was off . Also shouldn't it say charging. (A/C)
Thanks I tryed searching for this no luck.
P.S sense I got this EVO 3 months ago can I get a replacement battey at Sprint for free ?

Flashing orange light when off and plugged in means its charging but there isn't enough power to boot up yet...in my opinion there is only 3 things it could be...Charging port which if u wanna try ur hand at soldering u might be able to fix it, your battery which is a possibility or your acctual charger itself. Sometimes when the charging ports/ cord start to go out it will say USB charging instead of ac charging I've seen it before. Hope I've helped.

Exactly what happened to me...would never charge AC, even when my brothers evo was plugged in the same way saying AC...
it ended up being a problem with the usb charge port, went s on, got replacement under factory defect...
I bet you if you get a replacement battery, you will still have the same problem..

Yeah mine toggles back and forth sometimes if I don't have a good USB cable. Pretty sure my port is going out but that's why I have a couple bad esn evos sitting around for parts and one is my permanent charging station for my 3 batteries hah.

@pfcland, put your battery in the freezer for about 45 min then put it on the charger and let it carge up for a while before booting, make sure the light goes solid orange for atleast an hour.

The flashing orange light means your battery is too dead to turn your phone on. Charge it up for awhile and it should turn on.

If your charging Mah jumps back up to the proper amperage when it is "charging AC" then u know it is your port. When it displays USB Charging I believe it will only charge up to 500 Mah.

HTC One X - Dead, not charging !

hello all,
I read many posts over this and other forums and it seams this device is so advanced that thay were not supposed to put it to market jet - too many faults.
I had my screen relpaced and when I got phone back it was DEAD.
Figured out battery was completely empty.
Tried many chargers and cables to make sure it is not problem in them but notking
Last night noticed that when connected to charger after 10 seconds charging indicator and light sensor give one red blink and that is it !
Enyone has any idea how to get battery to charge?
OR just buy new battery and install it - dont know if ney ones are empty too?
Tnx
Leave it on charger for a day, stop playing with it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Bummer
Had the screen replaced by who?
power off phone put in the charger leave it overnight
Was on charger for over 28 hours - and nothing.
Still when connected to charger blinks ones and that is it.
It does not get warm at all when connected to charger meaning - no charge....

I'll go with new battery and if that fails it's going to ebay....
Taking it to repair shop to see what they will say.
Mabe it is battery and they can solve it
If not selling it for parts

Maybe whoever replaced the screen didnt connect something backup again inside, I would take a look if I was you.
I did, all looks conected.
Did not want to mess much with it.
It does give one red flash when connected to charger...

Brand New One X - Dead?

Got my One X in the post today, plugged it in, been on charge for atleast an hour and a half but it's still dead
No signs of life, no charge light, can't turn on, can't enter bootloader
Anyone experience this?
Also the phone is stone cold, if the battery was charging I would expect it to get warm...

Yeh looks that way so that means no new phone for a week as I have to wait for them to collect it then send me a new one, can't just take it to a store which is stupid
Checked the pogo pins with a volt meter and it's reading 5v no problem so power is getting to the phone it just seems dead. No battery life and it won't turn on

When I got a replacement HOX from carphone warehouse that was dead too, but I left it plugged in for a few hours and it came to life.
If the battery has no charge at all it may seem like a fault.

Charger that came with it but checked dock pins to make sure voltage is present in the phone which it clearly is
Does sound dead sadly, should have some charge if it came new.
Does it get detected as anything by windows even if off?
Any repsonse if you hold down the power button and both volume buttons?
Mine did the same thing when it was fresh out the box. I just left it on sharge for a couple of hours and the charge light then lit and it powered up. The battery was just very flat on arrival.
Did your battery warm up though? This ones cold to the touch
I think it's dead so already called for a replacement but gotta wait for it
In the meantime I will leave it to charge overnight but I'm not hopeful at all, be better if we could access the battery instead of HTC going all apple on us
As I got my hox, it was fully discharged too, and it took ca. 30 minutes to bring it back to life...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
When I first got mine was at 15% battery, after 24hrs charging (original charger, laptop, Inc s charger...) nothing changed.
Ended up with a replacement but took optus Australia 3 weeks to replace it.
...
Try to change cable I have to do that because stock cable that came with phone is sh..t.One day just stop working.Now using NOKIA CA-101 and no problem at all fantastic build quality.With stock cable had that problem couple times
Even if it does not light right up, the battery should get warmer when charging. Like advised, try a different cable, if that does not work either, then there probably is no simple solution that you can solve on your own.

No need to do the battery calibration thing. Try pull the battery out then plug in ur phone to charge for 10 min then plug the battery in and let charge for half hour then power up and let full charge.

Kk i got it working, but also. Ive been having this problem for about a week or two. my phone takes like 8-10 hours to charge to full. is this normal?
ever since i flashed the perseus kernel my phone doesnt even full charge over night. its retarded. really annoyed thinking about going back to factory settings un rooting and sending it to samsung. cuz i flashed other kernels and it still doesnt help
I flashed persus as well and it takes about 5 hrs from stonecold dead. It is also the charger and wire. I went out and bought myself a spare charger that is like samsungs output. Working fine. Dont use any old cable u got lahing around unless it a thick wire.

If ur using the original oem charger I would if u have the money go buy one and carefully open the package and try it out. If it charges faster then contact samsung and send ur charger back. If it the same redownload rom and kernel. Install and see then. If u still got issue then u gotta do some research and see what is going on.

These issues are the reason I don't even bother rooting this phone. There's enough RAM to multitask without slowing down the phone.

6hrs on charge and only 91%???

So I immediately fell in love with the fast charging capability of this phone. Unfortunately ive noticed its not charging as fast as it used to. I ran it down to 2% yesterday and put it on the charge. I get the slow charge in the notification, which ive been getting a lot, so I unplug and replug and it dosent return. 2hrs later I'm at 28%, when I wake up to go to work its only at 91%, problem is I woke up for work at 10 and put it on the charge at like 3:45. Anyone else noticed this?? This isnt the first time its happened just never this bad... I'm using the stock charger. I tried others but same thing. Get slow charge, unplug then replug it goes away havent had a chance to test charge time withem yet tho. I think its the charger but wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue. I'm rooted and turned the thermal throttleing off. Any ideas?

Did you plug in wall wallet charge or notebook's USB cord? On wall it should charge in 3+ hrs
In my case I just swap the batteries of my F240 and don't know how much time it has to fully charge
Yeah I plugged it into a wall, then this morning i did the same thing and it went from 45% to 95 in 45min... dunno lol I'll try cleaning the leads it spends a lotta time in my pocket and the inconsistancy seems like something stupid like that lol

I've noticed sometimes that if it doesn't make a good connection it will say Slow Charge in the status bar. When that happens I just disconnect and reconnect.

I used a different cable from a Kindle because it was larger. Figured as long as it was connected to the same wall adapter the phone came with it would be fine. Unfortunately it looks like the only way to get the fast charge speed into use LG's cable which is way to short.

That would be weird if the cable had anything to do with it.

Oh I assure you it did for me. Try a generic cable or one from a normally allow charging device for yourself. I haven't tried a cable from any of the other large battery devices yet. I'd imagine a galaxy s4 cable or something would work.

For the record, at work I have a samsung wall charger and a cable from monoprice. It charges quickly, without a slow charge warning. At home, I'm using Samsung wall charger with samsung cable, and the same quick results. It doesn't have to be the stock charger/cable, just make sure it's one of quality.

Note 2 only charging when off

Hey guys, I'm having charging issues. I'm rooted and on jedi x14. I'm using the zerolemon 9300 mah battery. My phone started acting up about 3 days ago. I put it to charge all night and come morning it did not. When turned on, the charging symbol would not even turn on. I changed the battery with my stock samsung battery and it showed the charging symbol, but was charging at 0 mah on galaxy charging current so I switched back to the zero lemon. It said it was charging but it was still charging at 0 mah. I left my phone on and on the charger for 9 hours and it is still at the same percentage. I turned it off for about 10 minutes while plugged in and when turned back on, it went up 2%. While turned off, the phone will not even recognize that it's charging. For example, usually when my phone is working properly and turned off, it will show a big green battery showing that it's charging. Mine would not do this. When I try to turn it on when on the charger, it will show a spinning battery symbol as if it's trying to read the battery but goes away after two seconds. My phone will not turn on when connected and powered off. After unplugging it, it will boot normally. I am using the stock samsung power brick with a different cable that is 6 ft but would still charge at 2 A up until recently. The charger works on an s3 mini, s3, and s2 with no issue. Please help, any suggestions are appreciated. I bought the phone in November and have insurance with tmobile.
