Hey all, been running Cyanmobile 5.5 for a month or so now on my Evo and it's been working pretty well. However, last night it was kind of acting up then restarted itself and said "Cyanmobile X is upgrading." This has happened before, which is kind of weird to me as I didn't think I was running X, but it always boots up after a while, so I went to bed and let it go. When I woke up, however, the phone wouldn't wake up. I'm pretty sure the battery was around 80% so I seriously doubt it would have discharged that much overnight, and plugging it into a cable does nothing... I've tried pulling the battery as well as holding the power button. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks!
Update: After leaving the phone plugged in for about half an hour, I pulled the battery again and it seems to be booting... so I guess this time the battery was dead. I'm still confused why this happens at all though, as it'll randomly restart once every other day or so when I'm at nearly full battery and I'm not even running cyanmobile X.

Hey Guys,
I am running the Cell Pro 9.5 ROM and since yesterday my phone doesnt turn on.
So this is what happened, I never got a chance to recharge my phone yesterday and so I used it to the very last bit of juice. The phone kept switching itself off with the critical level battery warning and I kept turning it back on. So it got to a point where it wasn't switching on at all. So I pluged in the phone to the computer to charge and left it there for approximately an hour (the orange charging light was on), came back and tried to switch the phone back on and it didnt respond at all. Took out the battery, tried the soft reset button etc and everything else I thought of with no luck. So I plugged it back on and suddently it turned back on, did the boot up, loaded the touchflo and I saw the battery level was at "0" and then suddenly it turned of with a "tuck" sound (similar to a PC when you hold down the power button or turn the power off without shutting down). This has been repeating since then, I have left it plugged in and every 5-10 minutes or so the phone switches on by itself and shows the boot screen, go all the way till HTC animation and powers off suddenly. I have had no luck in turning the phone back on, I dont what is causing the issue - wether its the battery or the phone.
Please give me your thoughts....I am completely lost without my phone...
- issue was that the phone kept restarting as soon as the battery stored enough charge for a reboot. I pulled out the battery at one of the restart cycle as advised below and stopped it from repeating it. After that the phone let the battery charge without a restart, did not mess with it for a long while.
Never let the battery drain all the way down to 0%. Not sure if it affects the battery, but it sure will give you enough hassle that you wont repeat it.

The same thing happened to me last night... but mine works now. what I thought it was is that it kept turning on as soon as it had enough battery to do so then it would die and repeat... So every time it would turn on
I would take the battery out and let it charge some more and then when it quit turning back on I left it overnight and now its on...

Ok....I will try that and report back....
Sorry you pull the battery then the cord then put the battery back in then cord. Also it will take a lot longer if you charge it on the computer.
Never mind mine quit working again...

I managed to get it charging after pulling out the battery and putting it back again. Charged it through a computer cause i dont have my charger with me.
I turned it on and the battery said 40% and now every second or so it is dropping by 1%. I can literally watch it dropping down sitting here. The phone doesnt want to charge when it is on. I plug in the usb and the LED turns orange and then turns off. Now the battery is at 25%, This is litterally in about a minute or less. I dont know whats wrong, is it the Battery?
I had this exact same thing happen to me twice on previous HTC hardware (wizard). The first time I couldn't save it and just had to buy a new battery. However, the second time it happened I was able to resurrect it once I got it plugged into a higher-current charging source, like the wall charger it came with, or even most car chargers (that's how I saved it when I couldn't get to my wall charger). I had to let it sit on there for about an hour before it held enough charge to stay on, and another 2 hours before it was fully charged, but it worked just fine after that.
You battery may indeed be toast from what you describe. I have had the experience of totally discharging the battery and the device not coming on at all. I recommend that if you do this, you should fully charge it using the wall charger NOT the computer (if the computer works at all. it didnt in my case). I have done this a few times now and the battery turned out fine each time.

Thanks.....
My issue seamed to be fixed. I had to rely on a computer as I didnt have access to my charger and by the time I did my phone was at approximately 65% charge. I plugged it in and charged it all the way to 100%. Replugged it and left it for a little more while to make sure it got charged completely. I have been using it since today morning 9am and now it is 2pm at 73% after couple of calls, messages and emails.
Few more charging cycles with the wall charger and I am hoping it will be back to normal.
I am running Codename 1.0.2 and the other night my Verizon GNex shutdown on its own, with plenty of battery remaining. I tried to turn it on the normway way, but nothing happened. I then plugged it in to the charger just in case it had gone dead (though this was unlikely, because it had close to 60% battery within an hour before I noticed that it had shut down). This did not allow it to turn on, so I pulled the battery numerous times, still nothing. I tried to boot into recovery/bootloader and still the phone wouldn't respond. Finally after continuing to pull the battery and plug/unplug it into the charger, the phone finally responded and it is back up and running. At the time it shut down, I was not flashing ROMs or anything, it was just sitting on my desk just minding its' own business. Any thoughts on why this might have happened, or is there anyone with a similar experience? As of now (over 24 hours later) it has not had the issue again. Thanks!
Posting for a friend who has a D.
Today suddenly the battery went dead and the phone turned off.
It was completely unresponsive even with a charger plugged in. We took battery out and left charger in, the light was flashing so we plugged battery back in but the light stoped flashing.
Thinking it was a dead battery we left it 'charging' and after about an hour the light came back on and the battery seemed to be charging.
Ten minutes later the phone turned on automatically and seemed to be OK.
Battey stats showed a massive massive dive making us believe it was the battery.
Now, it seems, the power button is fooked. Its completely unresponsive in the OS and recovery to both long and short presses.
I take it this means its a hardware issue with the power button?
I'm also wondering if these two things are related or its coincidental that they happened at the same time?
Cheers.

Today during sleeping, similar thing happened to my desire. When I woke up, the light was flashing and battery was dead, even though my phone was on charger the whole night... weird...
I've had my TAB PRO 8.4 since about half a year now, and it's been a really good experience. But then suddenly one day I was just using it for my daily tasks and it suddenly restarted and then it did it again and again, it got stuck in a bootloop. Then it drained the battery and stopped, when I came back home I tried charging it normally, but noticed it wasn't charging past a certain percentage, and since I was also playing with it while it was plugged in then I just thought it was just because of that.
After that, I left it plugged in all night as I've always done but when I woke up, it was STILL STUCK at that percentage (around 25%). It was like that for a couple days with the battery, I restarted the device (longpressing the power/lock key), when I it came back ON then suddenly the battery percentage jumped to around 51% and I thought it was solved but it wasn't, then it didn't want to go past that percentage, and the worst came when I unplugged the device and the battery drained incredibly quickly, like in a matter of seconds it was down more than 10% of the battery.
It's been like this since about a week now, the charging process gets stuck at some random percentage, and when I use it while unplugged then the battery just drains in such a crazy and quick manner. And also, the bootloops come back every once in a while and I have to go into safe mode or odin mode and then restart so that it stops, but the battery/charging issue never stops, it just behaves randomly crazy. I really don't know if it's software or hardware, whether I should try rooting or something like that, or whether I should try to send it to Samsung under the 1year warranty (it's just that I bought it in USA, and I dont live there and it would be just a great pain in the ass in time and money) or just try to live with it like this.
What do yo guys think I should about this?

Did you ever resolve this? I'm having similar charging issues.
Kinda

Well, I kinda resolved it, at least the charging one. I had to drain all the battery down to 0% until it shut itself down, and then I turn it back on and for some crazy reason there was about 50% left but it quickly got drained and went off on 0%, then I turned it back on once more and it was 0% but still it lasted a couple minutes on and again it went off, did that process so many times until it couldn't go back on anymore. At that point, I put it on the charger and it got well charged to 100% at last, and the battery now is working kinda normal, even though the random reboot loops come back every once in a while, specially when on low battery, but that's about it.
If you ever find any definite solution for your charging issue, please contact me.
Strange symptoms started a week or so ago. Phone works normally while plugged in to charger, and seems to get up to 100% as normal. When taken off of charge, it will slowly drain as normal...
But then, for example, it will be on 95%, and then just turn off (or maybe say the "Shutting down battery low" screen, then shut down). When I turn it back on, it might say 92% (dropping a couple percent points.
OR, when I turn it back on, it might say 3%, and be almost dead.
And then after a while obviously it will shut down again, as the battery is almost dead. It just did this from what it said was 3%, but when I restarted the phone... it now says 85%!!
So yeh, it seems like it can't decide if the battery is full or drained or both. I have tried full restarts, and this is a factory reset phone at the moment too so totally empty and on stock ROM. Not currently rooted either, as I restored everything to stock recently.
I'm assuming the battery has broken itself, somehow. It seemed to happen very suddenly though, as it was working a couple weeks ago. But before I sell it for spares/repairs, I thought I'd ask in case there was another possible cause!
edit: Also, once or twice when the phone has restarted, it has gone to the "Android is Starting Optimising application 1 out of 144" screen, where it configures all the apps? I thought it only did this on a factory reset, or after installing a new rom or something. Weird.
Yes, sounds like a dead battery:

Quite a few of us have had something similar and replacing the battery fixed it for me.
