Running a rooted, unlocked, EVO 4g running CM 7.2.0 Rom
I've seen this same behavior twice. Once yesterday and once today.
Yesterday
Phone was plugged into usb port of laptop charging (around 50% at the time) was running Pandora and Wifi Tether (build into ROM). Phone crashes to off, no reboot attempt. Attempt to power phone back on yields no result (no lights, no screen ... nothing). Remove battery for 10-15 mins, insert and hook up to a AC charger and hit power button. Red light starts flashing, I wait for it to turn solid and try booting again. This time phone turns on and hangs at white HTC EVO splash screen. I then boot phone into custom recovery image, clear cache partition, and reboot. Phone boots ROM fully, batter reads 50% still and works fine until the next day.
Today
Phone was plugged in running Wifi tether, but not Pandora. Same behavior in crashing, removing battery, hooking up ac charger etc... this time however it didn't hang on the HTC EVO splash screen, and boots the ROM. However, the battery no reads 0% and wasn't charging. Removing the AC charger causes phone to shutdown. Reboot rom again, still read 0%, but let it sit for a few minutes and begins to charge. Appears to be charging fine and holds its own without the ac charger. **Note - battery was also around 50% or so when it crashed out
Questions:
Whats the root here? Bad battery? Bad rom? Thoughts on root cause would help if anyone has gone through this.
Thanks!
I'd say a combination of battery and ROM. Try flashing a new ROM and if it continues, try a new battery.

It's been three days since my Galaxy Nexus has been behaving weirdly. It says it's charging when is not connected to the plug or the computer. The battery depletes quickly and when it's low on charge it freezes and reboots indefinitely.
I contacted Samsung's customer service, and they told me that it's a connector issue, but what about the freezes and reboots?
Doesn't look normal at all. Are you running stock? If not what ROM/kernal. Have you messed with any power-saver settings or anything of that nature? Different outlet?
I'm running the 4.0.2 GSM default image from Google, factory settings. I reinstalled the original image because I thougth the issues may be caused by the Manhattan custom rom and Franco's kernel.
The thing is all of this happens after I unplug the phone from the outlet: it says is still charging, even if the battery percentage diminishes. It reboots and goes from 40% charge to 11%, then it goes up to 20%. After that it's all freezes and reboots, until it doesn't power up again.
Pro tip really quick: Power button + Vol down to take a screenshot
Seems like it might be a battery hardware issue?
I installed the ARHD 7.0.0 ROM on Monday everything was working fine, I also installed the SMooth Rosie MOD and still everything was fine. But today, I lost my phone signal and though oh well i'll leave it whilst I go to the gym, I came back and the bttery ws at 23% (Was at 91% when I left it).
I rebooted the phone and it would get to the lock screen (with no ring) then it would reboot and it constantly done that. I reset everything and formatted everything, I transfered the ARHD 7.0.0 back onto the phone but as I was trying to flash the image, from windows, the battery died, I can't seem to charge it.
All its doing at the moment is flashing the red LED. I tried resetting the LED with power presses in and Vol but it keeps coming back after a few seconds.
I really just need to know how to charge the phone, once its charged I will be able to sort it out. Oh and I can't even turn the phone on at the moment.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like you didnt instal the boot.img
EDIT: put it in the wall charger for 10-15 minutes and dont touch it...
I put it in a wall charger and its stopped blinking. Cheers
Oh and I did install the boot image on Monday, i've been using the phone for two days, then it just lost the signal and then didn't work. Weird!
Thanks again!
Yeah....just pluggin usb charger and leave it for ~1h and U will see, it's charging.
Few days after buying HOX I was on a party with enabled wifi, async, gps ect. Lately this night my phone goes off and I wasn't able to turn it on. At home I plugged in charger but there was no charging led.
Yeah...thougt the new phone was bricked.
With plugged usb I just left it for ~1h and then...TADAA!...charging led!!!
Well tried charging it with the wall charger. At first the light when solid, I returned to it 2 hours later and the light was off. Tried to turn it of and its blinking again, I can't even turn it on Arghh!!
I am having troubles booting my phone after the battery depletes and the phone shuts off. My Optimus G is rooted with lifeless Rom v14 and I have TWRP recovery.
So once the phone dies, I plug it in to charge, and the phone screen automaticaly comes on and the LG logo flashes for a second, but nothing happens. The phone doesn't actually charge. If I remove the phone from the charger, the display still stays on until I hard reset it. I cannot access recovery mode or download mode for some reason. Usually when my phone dies, and I plug it in, it will flash the LG logo, keep the display on for a few seconds, and then shut down and restart and show the battery logo charging. I am not getting that this time, and I can't seem to do anything to get it operating again. There also isn't a red LED light to represent charging either. If anyone has had this issue before or knows how to fix it, I'd really appreciate the information right now.
Thanks

I had the exact same problem last night. (weird) I held down the power button for ~15 sec, and let the phone sit for about 15 min. I booted it and got it to load into TWRP and then put it on the charger. Let it charge in TWRP to around 10% and then booted into android and let it charge overnight. I had a mild panic attack at first but all is good now. Stupid software dependent charging.

Ok, that's definitely weird... I came to XDA because of this, it happened to me 2x and I did the same as you, let it charge in CWM till 12% ( shower time) and reboot the system. I'm not sure what exactly is causing the issue, it shouldn't be a software problem.
To try to find what's going on, lets talk about what we have in common:
ROM: Houston stock international (stock 4.1.1)
Charger: Non LG charger (htc)
Cheers
Okay so, my LG G3 has had a problem with restarting and bootlooping before this. Basically, it would restart if used while not plugged in and would not boot up if not hooked up to a charger. Before this, plugging the charger in would solve the boot loop issue, but now, that leads to a different issue.
So, I was using my phone (while it's charging) and suddenly - screen goes black. After a few seconds, the battery loading screen (an icon of a battery with a small circle with several spokes in the middle of the battery icon) pops up. I hold the power button and the LG logo pops up and then goes back to the battery loading screen. which just bootloops if left alone.
Now, the phone CAN boot into recovery and bootloader (although it sometimes fails, it's like the device restarts mid-way through). In TWRP recovery, it shows the battery at 100%, although after rebooting into recovery again after some time, it displayed 75% (i never took the phone off the charger).
Sometimes while in recovery and the device is not plugged in, it'll restart, but that's kinda... normal, I guess, it used to do that before.
My PC recognizes the phone and I can access the data on it via USB without any problems.
I'm almost positive that the battery is the culprit, since a few hours before this started happening, it drained 20% in 5 minutes and in general, after it restarts randomly when not charging, the battery goes from 100% to 90% and if restarted again goes back to 95% or something like that. But does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I won't be able to buy a new battery for a few days and I need the device in working order until then.
I am having problems with my HTC 10. This morning I charged the phone but it told me fast charging isn’t working so it was charging slowly. By the time the charge got to 20% I decided to unplug the charger from my phone and switch it on.
When I switched it on I expected there to be 20% on the battery but instead it was only 1% charge left. The phone then switched itself off so I connected the charger back to the phone but the phone switches itself off halfway through the boot and I notice sometimes the battery charge icon appears then goes off. I also notice the red light on the top of the phone flashes then goes off.
I then switched the phone into download mode and selected TWRP to factory reset the phone. I rebooted and it goes into Android and I get the message that it’s starting android as if I am booting into a newly installed android.
The phone then switches itself off when it’s halfway through loading android. The strange thing is that the phone stays on when it is in download mode. What could be the problem? Please advise.
The phone has now switched itself off from download mode probably because the battery is dead. It looks like it’s a connection problem with the charger or the battery is needing replace because when I connect the charger to the phone the red like on the phone flashes for a few seconds then goes off then the battery charger icon appears for a second briefly then it switches itself off and nothing happens. Any ideas.
