Battery issue

The other morning I woke up and unplugged my phone and the "Unplug your phone" notification wouldn't go away and the phone thought it was still plugged in. If I rebooted it would just turn off and keep going from the green batter charging icon to a black screen and back. Only way I could turn the phone on would be to actually plug it in again. Problem fixed itself that evening and the phone was fine for a couple days. Today the phone started with the same thing.
I've tried searching but couldn't find anything on this specific issue. Any insight? Thanks in advance.

Brand new ept4g and I got 6hrs of battery life its so lame I have hack so much bad luck with this bad boy but I'm not giving up.

This isn't a battery consumption issue...

Anybody have this problem yet?

I'm having the same problems the last few days. Also when I unplug my phone I get a red exclamation point over my battery widget, when i open the widget it says that the battery is over voltage and the red led light won't go off. Think i'm about to go see what best buy does for me. Been dealing w/ this problem for a few days now.

Did you get a replacement? I haven't had any free time to go to sprint with my problem. It is still happening often though.

I had a similar issue the other morning. Though my phone would only boot back up in recovery mode. I reflashed it to out of the box stock but that didn't make any difference. When it did boot up it would show that it was connected to the usb port but it would not be plugged into anything. I plugged it into a usb port on my computer that I hadn't used with the phone before and it reloaded the drivers on my computer and "that" issue went away. After turning phone off it would start rebooting itself immediately or with in a few seconds of turning off. I let the battery die completely and then recharged it and the automatic reboot went away, at least for most of the day, but last night I turned the phone back off and it rebooted itself. I did reroot and restore my phone after I got it to not show the usb connected or the battery charging while the phone was off icon. Just wish I could figure out why it wants to automatically reboot itself when I shut it off.

Same issue here

My Battery Monitor Widget shows a max of 1500mah? Wtf? And a measured of under 1200?
No wonder my battery life is crazy low...

I figured a way to shut the phone off and not have it automatically reboot. If after shutting the phone off the normal way and once the screen goes black but before the capacitive lights go out, if I again press the power button, the phone finally shuts down without rebooting itself. Not sure why this is happening but at least I can get it to turn off now.

I found better battery life by determining which app or apps drain the battery. I used Battert spy, cpu spy and system tuner. My problem was Touchdown exchange for Androir 2.x. I switched to Moxier Mail. I would get hours on moderate to heavy use. I got 22.5 hours yesterday on moderate use.

Couple questions about rom manager

1. When I power my device down and connect the charger ClockWorkMod Recovery pops up, Why is that? Is there a way to turn that feature off so my device is completely turned off while charging???
2. Is it safe to charge in recovery? To leave the fone idle for a number of hours can't be safe especially with the words and icons being displayed don't want those images burned into my screen. . .
3. After powering down at 99% I let my battery charge for a bit and not even a hour later I see the fone rebooted itself and I'm back at my home screen with the battery saying 'charged' is that normal???
Thanks in advance

1. It's a bug. 4EXT Touch Does address this, as well as a plethora of bugs from CWM.
2. Yes - I had also experienced the above bug when I was using CWM. I put my phone to charge, then slept. Next morning, the phone was idling on recovery. But I still strongly suggest you use 4EXT, as it is faster and safer.
3. Never heard of this...Ideally the led will turn green, but the phone won't turn on by itself.

I'm using a new 1520mah battery from the EVO 4G Design maybe that's why the device rebooted? not too long before this I left the phone charging for say 4 to 6 hrs and the led never turned green it stayed at orange.
When I rebooted the battery info said 'charged'

Highly unlikely. My guess is it's another issue with CWM. For all we know it could be a random tap of the power button, after all that's all it takes to power it up.

Charging my DZ almost every night and never had this issue.
You should consider using 4ext instead of CWM.

Older version of cwm had that problem, but was fixed a long time ago

The issues still present, I'm using the latest version of cwm.

For me, i always charge my phone only when it runs out. When i plug my charger in, it boots to recovery, but if i leave it for a while, it just shuts off. It seems that CWM doesn't stay on when my phone is on low battery or something.

Charge when it reaches 10 - 5% then tap the power button as soon as you see the recovery menu pop up, it'll bring up a screensaver that should stop it from shutting off.

Don't know why anyone would day 4EXT is "safer", though I'm happy to be educated.
If you leave it for a minute in that state with CWM started, the screen will turn off again so it's no problem, just a slightly irritating bug.

Well, from experience with CWM5 I had a lot of issues with backups. Either MD5 checks would fail or booting after restore would have me stuck at the htc screen. So from that aspect of view, 4EXT is somewhat safer. On second thought, reliable would be a more fitting attribute. Just my 2 cents.

[Q] Phone switches on when charging... but only after a few hours

Simple one this one - I usually switch my phone off and charge it overnight. But when I wake up, my One X is sitting on the PIN unlock screen, so at some point it has switched itself on. Does everyone's do this? Or is it a bug?

Are you using the stock recovery or the new battery fix one from CWM?
it has been reported that this happens with hte latest version of the CWM recovery and also suggested that this is to prevent the phone from overcharging.

I'm on 5.8.2.7, will give the update a try. Sounds like it may indeed be an overcharging-prevention measure

[Q] Is my battery dead? Or is there another problem?

Hey Guys,
Woke up this morning to my G2 out of battery life, due to getting home late and forgetting to charge it.
I plugged it in and turned it on, as I usually do in this situation. When it started up it, everything seemed fine until it got into the Rom, and it immediately powered itself off (not abruptly, it came on with this usual "powering off" message that happens when it runs out of battery life.
I assumed this was because I hadn't charged it enough. So I let it sit for a couple of hours on the charger. Tried it again after that and the same thing happened, and has been happening all day since then. The strange thing about this is that the Recovery and HBOOT seem to work fine, so it can't just be the battery that's causing this.
I wiped the phone, and installed a new rom. Still the problem persists. And I still have no issues going into Recovery. It's only the actual OS that doesn't work.
Any thoughts?

Have you done any undervolting?

Any undervolting wouldn't be present after a full wipe but you may not be getting a full wipe
Use a superwipe script and or fastboot wipe and try flashing a new ROM again

Major problems twice with venomrom for HTC One m9 need help please!

So I have the HTC One M9, I rooted it, unlocked the boot loader wiped the rom, installed venom and cleared cache. I had numerous problems with it like crashes and settings going back to original. I installed sunshine to do s-off and updated to the newest venom for the m9 and it upgraded my radio and firmware. I liked the updated version more...but...now to the issues:
Phone shuts off at 20%-50% I try to boot back on and it says 0% battery. I plug back in and phone turns on and says 26% or whatever it was before it shutdown, then minutes later it shuts down and after plugging it in and booting up it actually shows 1%...this never happened until I upgraded it. Sometimes after the phone shuts down all my settings go back to it was before I customized everything and I have to log in to all my Google accounts and my keyboard dictionary looses all my saved words and it pisses me off.
Has anyone experienced this with venom on the HTC m9 ...my m7 never had issues, but both versions on my m9 have been nothing but problems and I love the venom rom because it's so customizable. But now I'm thinking about going to other roms

M8 and M9 both exhibit the same thing as a battery gets worn out.... I would say you need a new battery
It's been said that setting extreme power save to kick in at a percentage higher than when it fails can prevent it.
also, some have said doing the three finger battery calibration may help, but some have also said it doesn't last.
the supposed official HTC battery recalibration steps:
recalibrate your battery by doing the following steps:
◦Go to Settings and disable Fast Boot.
◦Turn off the phone.
◦Charge the phone using your HTC charger for at least two minutes.
◦While the M8 (M9) is charging, press and hold down the following buttons: Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power.
◦Continue holding the three buttons for at least two minutes. The phone will repeatedly turn on and off every 15 seconds while you’re doing this.
◦After 2 minutes, release the buttons when the phone is on.
◦Let the M8 charge normally.

If the phone shut off between 25% - 50%, the battery is dying and only hold 75% or less of its original capacity.
My M8 used to do that. Only new battery could help

I figured I had battery issues, I purchased this on eBay as a refurbished model because it previously had battery issues but it being refurbished I thought it was fixed, it maybe the seller was full of crap. I'm gonna attempt to call HTC and see if there's a records of this, I didn't have any luck with the battery recalibration method mentioned above (and I google it. And that is the official recalibration method), I was reading that after installing custom ROM battery should be recalibrated so I'm gonna delete the battery.bin file through twrp at 100% and give that a try...
I just don't understand why if the phone died because battery is dead, why when I boot my phone back up all my settings and customisation's wiped out and back to normal like as if I just installed the ROM, and log me out of my Google accounts and delete my keyboard dictionary
