Dead Evo-Fixed!

Phone was running Miui's latest rom with Tiamat's 4.0.2 sbc kernel and then viperboys BSM v2. Well today my phone totally died, zeroed out. I put it on my car charger and it was charging but I noticed it stayed at 0% for some time. Anyway, I finally get home and it's around 11% while getting out of the car. I plug it into my regular wall charger and set it down and this was earlier today. I go to pick it up and it's dead. No response, no lights, not even a flicker. I take the USB cable and plug it into my computer and I get a very very feint red light that blinks maybe 3-4 times then it's gone. Well needless to say second time I tried I got it to come on but for a split second then that's it.
What could have happened?

This is indeed tragic. I say, try booting into recovery or fastboot and plug it in to do an ruu. Best of luck

I'd say try a new battery before doing anything drastic.

I can't even get the phone to turn on. If it's plugged in via USB to computer it'll come on but if you blink you'll miss it. Quick shut on then off.
I've read if these drain too low, then the phone won't allow a charge. I've got it on a stand-alone prong charger now and it looks like it may be charging. I think it's time to invest into a extended battery.

My guess is the battery. Might need to take it to sprint and let them boost it. I've seen this a few tines where it gets so low it wont charge.

Well guess I just let my battery get too low. I've got my own fancy Chinese made charger though that will charge any battery using just 2 prongs.
I'm a happy evo user again

Wow. Look at that thing. Lol. Good to see you up and running again!

Lol yeah it's crazy.
Just for the record guys. With my setup I posted up top, I went into battery monitor and looked at the history to see what was up. Turns out my battery percentage was all over the place and eventually started de-charging itself till it KO'd. I reset the BSM and I'm now using Tiamat with no SBC. So far so good.

i was useing an sbc kernal and like many have warned to not leave it on the charger overnight thats what i did every night my phone was acting the same way put it on the charger at 65% woke up in the morning to find it at 50% took the back off the phone off put the old battery in charged perfect inspected the first battery the plastick was comeing off and the battery was slighly swollen. im glad hts all that happened switched back to stock cm7 kernal andgot a new battery happy as a clam

Dude get a NEW BATTERY..

did you try the wall charger first. PC ports only put out 500mAh at max per port, where as you typical wall charger for the Evo should put out 1Ah. (I dont know if you already did this) Also, car chargers dont have the strongest power output.
If none of that works, then try a new batter.
Disregard, didn't see that you got it fixed lol...you can use this info for future reference?

Yeah I tried all that and it seemed at the time my port on the PC was putting out more than the wall charger. But I'm looking into getting an extended battery. For now everything's all good.

Had that happen to me acouple of times. Thought usb was bad thought maybewall plug tried everything. Took bat out if phone and left for an hour. Put back in phone and it took a charge fine.. later search and found that evo has a safety if bat drains to low they will sometime lock the charging mechanism and to leave bat out for awhwile is only fix.
Kings GB Destroyed EVO

So my ET4G wont charge the batt. but will connect to everything else just fine

So not 100% sure as to why this happed, but I did bring it to the sprint store they told me there was some corrosion found in the charging port. Which in means there unwilling to even look at my ET4G luck has it I did get the ins. coverage...But I'm not ready to just roll over and give up that easily. What i find strange is that I have absolutely no problems connecting!? I can flash with Odin/mount usb/SD card and usb tethering.???? When I plug my phone in it will start charging then in less then a min it stops...if I check the battery info page it will change from discharging to charging for just a short time when connected to power (usb or charger) then goes to not charging...After downloading and testing (one at a time) a few battery apps found in the market I noticed that my battery temp is reading at 6C and when I'm really using it and its pretty hot to touch the highest reading I've gotten is 13C now I don't know what translates into as far as F but I know that its way to low to be correct...So I figured I'd get the possibility for it being a software issue outta the way by flashing back to stock and trying a few combos of Roms and kernels making sure to wipe and keep the Roms absolutely as they came unless I needed to add gapps...I quickly got an error upon plugging in stating "charging stopped battery temp to low." and every touchwiz based ROM I use gives me the same error...So I've come to the conclusion that I somehow got my phone damp/wet and fried the temp sensor...So unless I can replace that for cheaper then 100$ fixing the hardware is useless but
I was mostly interested in what apk/receiver is responsible for telling my OS to not accept the charge b/c its to cold and if I can just disable it in autostart manager or if theres another work around to force my battery to take the charge (I know there is a probably gonna be a risk of over charging/over heating etc etc etc but either way I'm gonna end up dishing out the 100.00 due to the pure inconvenience)
**I should also note I have tried 2 OEM chargers 1 after market car charger 2 OEM batteries and 6 different (two different brands) of after market batteries all of them work for other ET4g's and all of the batteries will take a good clean 100% charge from a wall charger or in my wifes ET4G....
Of course if theres no fix which I'd find hard to believe said phone might just end up at the bottom of a a lake...if sprint will still honor there replacement police in that case????
I'd like to use the "lake" phone as mod fodder for our current Emmc issue once we get a "possible fix"not just a random shot in the dark, but if we get what is believe to be a fix I'll be happy to follow a Dev's step by step instructions, and log my findings to help out! With that being said thank you for taking the time to read my monster of a post, and any advise into this issue is much appreciated

I would also like to know if there is anyway to fix this problem...
My wife, being 36 weeks pregnant is kinda forgetful suddenly.
She lost her phone for about a week we searched everywhere, cleaned the house many times, cleaned out the car, search for a week.
the amazing thing is she lost it walking from the bed room to the car, she was in the car when she realized it was missing maybe 2-3 minutes after leaving... long story short...
I went walking and found it on the side of the road... a week later with the case and battery cover off laying face down on the grass. I got it home took it apart, dried it out, and amazingly it still works the only thing wrong with it is the Battery saying its at 6°F and wont charge, Its stock ive tried factory reset didn't work. I have the same phone i can charge the battery in my phone but cant charge either battery's in her phone.
Would there be a way to fake the sensor?
Force it to say a higher number?

That's what I had to do... clean the contacts with rubbing alcohol and something that can get into the port and remove any debris - a cotton swab, towel, anything... then try again until it works.
Here's the pinout schematic:
http://pinoutsguide.com/PortableDevices/micro_usb_pinout.shtml
So it's possible to have one and not the other if contact is not being made.

I had to go as far add cleaning all the way up the main board and all every contact point from port to battery

If the phone works just fine go on eBay and grab an external charger and spare battery. I got one for $8 with generic battery. Works great.

Here's the thing. This not working is a sign of other issues. If you see corrosion like this and you don't address it it will lead to bad things. Better to remove any corrosion while it's minor IMHO.

A: Gnex nfc battery problems

I keep seeing questions pertaining to charging and/or heat with our batteries. I myself had this problem and Google extensively until I found the cause.
First, it's NOT your charger. It's NOT your phone. It is in fact the nfc technology in the battery. Unlike the NS4G, the GNEX nfc chip is inside the actual battery. You cannot use someone else's charger. You cannot put a non-nfc battery in your phone. You cannot put your battery in a non-nfc phone, and even risk problems if you use a non-oem nfc battery/phone except the ones they were originally paired with. You cannot use a gsm nfc battery with a cdma one. Doing any of the above will potentially cause all the issues people are having and even render the nfc capability useless and then a replacement phone is required unless you don't want to use that feature.
The battery has a "key" of sorts that has been "programmed" to the original device. If a battery with a different "key" is inserted the battery is unable to read the information properly. If you use a charger other than the original one you risk a different amp/voltage than the battery is supposed to have so the next time you put your charger in it won't work. Does anyone remember the NS4G not charging if you used a charger other than Samsung? Once the nfc is ruined, it cannot be fixed..the chip is inside the battery. Luckily I didn't "break" my chip and was able to charge it fully then wipe the stats and go back to my original charger without further issues. Included are some links I came up with for reference. http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-t/430774-non-oem-battery-upgrade.html

Yes...there are different devices talked about in these links but the point I'm trying to show isn't the phones. It's the common denominator nfc and the issues they all are having. I had the charge and overheat problem back in April/May. My phone would get so hot it was practically burning me. It would say not charging when plugged in and would have to power cycle then charge to make it work. I tried other chargers and eventually they stopped working also. I don't have this issue anymore. I googled this stuff months ago.

Cool story bro to the website.
It's proven that the NFC chip is in the motherboard of the Nexus, battery is just holding the NFC antenna

i said i was retarded. Those ones aren't the original ones i read back when i had the issue. Saw them and thought they might be relevant. All i know is I didn't have the battery issues I did until I couldn't find my charger and used an lg one and included my extender. Still refuses to charge of I add the extra cord. My phone would get so hot i could feel it thru my otterbox and it would say not charging. Wasn't discharging, but wasn't charging either. Discovered i had to power cycle before i plugged it in and then not wake the screen for it to charge and not get hot. Charged it fully one day with power off, did the battery calibration thing, and went back to my original cord. Had to use a different one the other day and same thing started. Repeated above fix and am golden again.

If that's the problem shouldn't you be able to turn off nfc while its charging then back on again when its done charging. The voltage and amperage shouldn't be diffident enough when using two stock phone chargers that have the same connection type. I'm not an expert I'm just taking an educated guess.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

actually, i do believe i just saw something on that. At the time tho, I just wanted to get it to charge and googled nfc battery along with some stuff off the battery. These are what Google returned.
And i don't use any other charger but let anyone use mine.
The cord yeah but not the pluggie part

The battery only holds the NFC antenna, the actual NFC chip is inside the phone. Using different chargers won't affect anything. The OEM charger will change it's amperage overtime as the battery is closer to being fully charged. It'll also only take as much power as it needs, so the difference in amperage/voltage is irrelevant.

I had an issue. I googled it. Issue resolved. Noticed large amounts of other people having same issues. Posted my findings thinking it could be useful.

As was stated by the other posters, the NFC chip is in the GNex, the NFC antenna is in the battery. NFC will NOT work without the antenna.
phonearena.com is not a reliable source of accurate information.

Phone won't turn on :(

I've been experiencing some problems with charging and I read in out of the threads that I could use a bit of electrical contact cleaner and it would work. And now my screen protector is ruined and my phone won't fully turn on. It boots up, vibrates then it turns off. What do I do I'm freaking out right now. I'm going to put it rice to see if that works at all Anybody know what I should do I'm really scared right now.

Exactly what did you use? Link to the product.

Yea a little more detail on what you used would be very helpful.

Jesus I feel like the biggest idiot of life. You guy don't realize how F*cking stupid I am. After being in a complete rush I used the wrong type of cleaner. So After I soaked it in rice and took it out I actually used a proper Electrical Contact cleaner and and now everything is fine. But I am now certain that the cable is done because it wasn't charging or showing that it was plugged in so I used my friend's Blackberry cable and everything is fine. I'm so relieved right now.

Lol glad to hear that its fixed.... we all make mistakes

Thanks, the only problem I'm still back to is that it won't charge, which is what was happening before. I am not sure whether it is the charger itself or the micro-usb charging port (Which I could replace). Phone thinks it's charging with the lightning bolt in the top right, but it won't charge...if I go to battery in the settings it says discharging but in the charts it that it was charging all this time.

Tbh I don't know but this is a educated guess.... seeing that it shows that its charging on the phone means that its receiving the charge. A good test would be to take out the battery and plug your phone into the charger. If it works that means that the port is OK and you'll need a new battery. If not then its the port. Hope this helps.

What do you mean by if it works, as in if the phone boots up and works normally when plugged in?

When you take out the battery and plug it in to the charger it should work normally as its getting power from the plug.

Meh whatever, I smelled and it was just the smell of the wrong cleaner I used, luckily it was just on the plastic parts so I'm safe, I disassembled the rest and found the charging port. I'm ordering a new one for $10 shipped from NJ and not from HK so I should get it soon. Thanks for your help btw. I really appreciate it. :good:

Good luck bud

Update: I just replaced charging port literally just now and it still won't charge. It still says "Charging" but it's not charging. In the Settings it says discharging.
Could it be the battery? I'm thinking of buying a new one and seeing if that works.

Updated Update: The 6% that had remained on my battery before I took my phone apart to repair it is now gone leaving the battery with 0% charge. But, I believe I may have found the problem! If the phone is unplugged from my charger and I try to turn it on it won't turn on at all. But if I plug it into my charger it will boot up past vibrate to the Nexus logo (The X) and then it dies out. I think that the problem is in the charger that has a input voltage drop so it's not charging enough to keep it going. I'm going to use my friend's Samsung Charger (From his Galaxy S II) to see if that will solve the problem.

what in the blue hell is going on? (battery charge sucks)

so i tried charging my phone in different outlets, using my other family's charger, different cables, everything.
as of like 15 days ago or something, the charging is extremely slow (like it will take 8 hrs to COMPLETELY charge)
look at the graphs.
what in the world is going on here??? sometimes juiceplotter tells me that my wi-fi is on during the charging (which it shouldnt be since juice defender is supposed to turn it off when screen is off, but EVEN if it was on 100% of the time, the charging should NOT take that long)
but in most cases, the wifi is actually off so wtf is going on?

It's not your charger that's fine but a better charger that put out more power than the stock charger.stock charger suck, I went to Wal-Mart and bought a charger that put out three times the stock battery output and it takes me less than a hour to fully charge it works my stock charger is not used at all. I had the same problem until I searched around. Hope that helps. It helped me and others you will be amazed at how fast it charge.

Yep. The stock charger sucks. I got one area radio shack and i can also charge mine from 0-100 in 1.5 hours.

I use my stock charger at night when I don't care how long it takes to charge (it takes a ridiculous ~8hrs to charge). When I need a quick boost I use my old HTC charger and HTC cable. I think the output amps is higher but it seriously only takes an hour to fully charge my S III.
