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.
Q&A next time

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.

And to add, CM7, I believe does not charge when the phone is off
Is this normal activity? While connected to the charger and trying to select anything on the screen the screen jerks and selects what it wants. I've only had the phone for 1 full day now and I'm not cool with a new phone acting like this. I noticed after I made the post that this is the wrong section, please move.
Its a well known issue. Try to switch chargers if you have one from another device, it helps sometimes. I use the charger from my girlfriend's Blackberry and it works fine. The stock Samsung chargers are wonky for some reason.

Unfortunately I don't have any other usb chargers this small. Would you happen to know where it was discussed? I'm guessing everyone is cool with this and just dont use the phone while charging? Even though it takes HOURS to charge.
There's quite a few threads about this issue. Just search through general and Q and A.

Mine did this too, so I went back to Sprint and they exchanged the WHOLE THING.. phone and all.. went home.. charged it.. same issue. I went back and told them I just want a different charger so they gave me a hand full of HTC chargers.. they work like a dream.

Please ban OP for being lazy!
mine did this as well... as soon as i plugged it into the wall at work. unplugged, problem went away.
i took the usb cable out and plugged it into my usb port on my computer... problem went away immediately.
also, it doesn't do this went i plug it in at home on my evo charger..
seems the issue is the charger.

I tried out a old blackberry charger that I found and that works with no lag. Only thing is that the cord isn't as sturdy as I'd like it to be, but it's good to be able to use the phone while it charges. Plus, it didn't take a long time to charge like with the stock usb.
I have seen different opps on this.. abotu leaving it plugged in all night..
I just was not sure if it really matters, or hurts the phone? I leave it in all night and just unplug in morning when i get up.. Is that bad or what? I jsut want to see what everyone else thinks about it on here.

There was another thread exactly like this a month ago. The answer is no. There is circuitry and scripts to stop charging.

I've heard this too. My ex girlfriend seems to think that it actually causes the battery to swell and inflate, causing it's eventual demise.

This was the case with older batteries and much older phones all modern phones protect against this. I still unplug right away out of habit though.
As a note:
When the phone charges to full and your little blue light comes on, the phone enters a state of constant discharge and recharge. Meaning that if you leave it plugged in once fully charged, when you finally take it off the charge actually may be anywhere between 95-100%.

ya on my stock battery i used to see it at 92% some times when i would unplug so i had to replug it in and re charge a bit at one time when it got full it would stop charging completely and id wake up with a empty battery thanks god that was fixed. and i just got a much bigger battery

I picked up a cheap wallcharger and spare battery. Charges to 100% and stops. It's beautiful.
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?
I running ERA Legendary Rom with GetuSum's EI22 ICS theme 2.1 if anyone wanted to know.
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
My T-989 has never been able to stay shut down if the charger is plugged in. I shut it off and don't plug in the charger it stays off. I shut it down and plug in, or plug in and shut down, either way, and it immediately it turns itself on. I knew the that this would be a problem somehow when I noticed it but, no one (no one as in thread replies to similar problem) seemed to think it was a problem. Well, I was using my phone as a hot spot for my laptop as I do pretty often and this time I ran the battery down to about 7% before I realized just how low it was. I had to finish what I was doing on the laptop before disconnecting the phone. As I finished and started to go into settings to turn off the hotspot option the phone shut itself off. I then plugged in the charger and the phone did it's little trick and turned itself on instantly. Being that it has no charge left in the battery, it shut itself down. And because it doesn't stay turned off when plugged in, it turns itself back on. So the cycle begins. It won't charge up because it keeps cycling. And it keeps cycling because it doesn't allow itself to sleep while plugged in. I need to somehow charge the battery outside of the phone I guess. But what about a fix for the never sleep bug? Do other Roms allow sleep while charging? How can I charge the battery other than the obvious of using another SII or wiring the battery contacts directly to a charger with the mini usb cut off? Will a charged battery solve the problem ? Or is it a soft brick and I need to Odin and flash a new Rom? How come nobody could foresee this "dog chasing its tail" scenario when the phones don't sleep when plugged in? I need to resolve this asap. And as I always do say, Thanks in advance for your help everyone on XDA.
Maybe hotpot app issue or bug. Do you think you could reflash without the app. Personally I've never have heard of anything like this but thats why this site is for. To help one another get the most out of our device.
I'm no dev not computer genius, and pls understand that what I'm giving is "my" opinion. I could be wrong or even maybe a chance to be right.
With that said, why not try to get the phone on cmw and do a darkside
Cache wipe and maybe that could help ur permissions. And maybe even fix ur prob, another idea was to wipe ur battery stats. Also on advance mode in cmw. It could be endless factors that have caused this issue. I know its not a lot of help but hopefully I'm pointing at he right road for u to fix your device

Thanks datrapstar. I first have to get the battery charged somehow. And even then the only thing I can do is USB jig into download. It stays in download when I remove the jig, but as soon as I connect a cable to it from the laptop or charger it starts the on off loop. So,????
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
And your doing the 3button combo? It should automatic start booting into download mode. I don't know exactly how to do the jig. You may wanna pm "all gamer" being that he's the one I seen posting about it, and ask him if he can give u a lil guidance.

Also, are u capable of going into a retail tmo?, maybe they can let u charge up there on one of their display devices. Its at no cost to them. And sometimes u find one of the cool sales reps that is willing to go above and beyond. Its the best I good bro, sorry
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
efforts that aren't in vain.
I'll start by letting you (datrapstar) know I appreciate your input. It is certainly welcomed . The jig I'm talking about is a plug - in (mini USB) device that jumps, or crosses two of the circuits of the female USB plug on your phone. It instantly puts your phone into download mode. Rather than the two or three button method, which in some instances won't work, the jig always ,99% of the time,works even if you have a unresponsive, almost bricked device. All that power for $10 plus shipping from MobileTechVideo,the guys who can modify your phone with the famous Unbrickable Modification. Okay, back to the issues at hand, my hand, to be exact.
I do have access to a TMo store, being that I live in " Lower Beverly Hills " we even have a valet parking lot across the way. I'm just fu##ing with ya Bro. But yeah, I may do just that to charge the battery. And I have a girl that works at one of the TMo retails that I use who has already gone above and beyond the call of duty for me that I may have to pay a visit to. I didn't have time to do anything today about my SGII, and fortunately I have my Captivate that I use as my business phone to keep me connected to everyone during this time of phone aggravation. I will keep posting with my progress toward a resolution, and I will gladly accept anymore input sent my way that might steer me towards a final solution. Oh, and sorry for the long, and wordy posts. (Not really) I like to write, and don't practice "textphonics" abbreviations or acronyms. Later Bro.
No doubt then ,hope it all works out for the best for u. I'll keep checking in on the tread and see how ur making out. And I'll also try doing a lil more research in any resolutions of the matter. Good luck:thumbup:

Cool. Talk again later.
Got it working
I got it working Thursday. The phone finally decided that it was gonna stay shut down and the battery recharged. I knew I could get it running after that. I probably did a few things that didn't need to be done but, I'm still new to this. I wiped everything (almost), Dalvick, Data, Battery, Cache, Factory Wipe and Reset. I probably forgot some. I Odin the .tar/md5 file and then rebooted. I just want to know how to fix the phone from not shutting off and staying off if the charger is plugged in, and which custom ROM I should try now ? I'm back to rooted, stock, Gingerbread 2.3.6 UVKL1, Baseband version UVLE1. Any ideas?
I'm on infamous 2.8 right now and I can't complain about it at all. 27+hrs battle life and thats with light use. As for the other issues the only thing I can think off it was just a bad download.
