[Q]About BATTERY

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.

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

Touch Screen Issues

Has anyone else had this issue?I woke up this morning and my captivate glide was acting weird after i unplugged it from my usb.it doesnt seem to recognize when im holding or dragging something.sometimes i can click to open things but when i try to remove something from the home screen it drops it back before i can drag it to the trash can.now the funny thing is when i put it on a charger( usb or wall charger) the touch response is fine soon as i unplug it it gets finicky again.
Any input is appreciated.I will buy another battery and try that before I decide to replace the digitizer.but it was working perfectly fine till this morning.

Reboot didn't fix it? Usually the opposite of what your having happens (USB cable not being properly grounded).

Nope,reboot didn't,factory reset didn't.

I tried but nothing in the play store for screen calibration.On another note, i noticed the lower the battery gets the worse the sensitivity is.ie charging it works perfect,unplugged at 100% it works perfect but as the battery drains i can barely drag the notifications bar or an icon on the home screens.at about 50% i can click things but not drag them,and now its at 24% and working perfect.I left it on all day while at work with wifi and facebook plus other things running.Honestly i dont get it.And I've been repairing phones for a few years now.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda premium

Try: drain the battery to 50% or so, then pull the battery out and set aside for five minutes or so. Then put it all back together and start it back up. Do not plug it in until it's fully booted and you've used your phone for a while, just in case.

I have tried about everything,guess I'll buy a new battery.and if it doesnt help I will sell it.

To update it was a screen malfunction and it was still under warranty , so Samsung fixed it at no charge

Very Strange Way To Start My Day

So I left my phone charging the night before (plugged into to the wall charger), left it charging the whole night. Woke up the next morning and realized there was no power on my phone. I pressed the volume rocker, power button,and home button, but no success. The first thing that came to my mind was Sudden Death Syndrome; I removed the battery and plugged the unit into the wall charger; the Red Sensor light blinked a couple of times. At first I was upset (because I thought it was an SDS issue), but after I inserted the same battery into the battery compartment and connected the phone to the computer, and a few seconds later voila! The phone powered back on. I did some confirmatory tests to make sure the phone was intact, and it sure was. My charger reads 1.8A (~2 amperes), now a problem right now.
Would leaving a charger connected to the Note 2 for a long time result in such an experience? Would voltage fluctuations contribute to this experience?

i have mine plugged to a wall all night at connected with my laptop throughout the day and have never had a problem

I've been having this particular unit since mid-Jan '13. This morning was my first encounter with this predicament. Plugging in the charger now shows no issues. My battery health shows Good, System Status--Normal. According to the system report, there is no indication there was any temperature spike. My phone is unrooted--stock.

Lol, so I realized what I faced yesterday morning had nothing to do with SDS. In fact, there was no issue at all.
My phone was on, even removing the battery and checking the light on the proximity sensor confirmed everything was normal.
The Stupid Vonage App which was responsible, didn't allow my phone display to turn on because the app froze. The Vonage App is so buggy; I wish the company can hire better software developers. Glad I have the T-Mobile version

[Q] One X not charging properly

Hello guys, and thanks for reading this.
Today, I got my HOX from a brothers' firend who's been using it for a year and a half. The device is in almost perfect shape, and he's been using it since last week or so. He reseted it to factory settings and left it in a drawer where it "died". Let's start with a timeline of all the **** I've been through with this mobile just today:
1. I got it with battery level fully depleted, wouldn't even turn on. Put it on it's original charger in the wall socket, left it there for like 10 minutes. Turned it on - it turned off after 3 minutes of "work" while still plugged in the wall socket. (Wasn't getting nearly enough juice?) We then tried charging it again, but all we got was blinking red LED or no LED indication at all.
2. Left it plugged in the wall socket for like 1.5h, after which the red LED stayed on - not blinking. Tried to turn it on, it worked, the battery was at like 50%. Removed it from charging (stupid probably, I know). It's a new phone so I went to proceed downloading my apps and logging into all of my social accounts. No problems. Even listened to music for about half an hour to test out the speaker.
3. When the battery got down to like 15% I again plugged it into a wall socket. Everything seemed fine, the red LED was on and the battery indicator on the screen was "moving" from right to left, meaning it's charging. But it was not - soon the battery was at 5%. I left the phone alone charging and after 30 minutes it was even more depleted, on 2%. Turned it off, left it to charge for 1h. Came back, turned it on - still at 2%.
4. Thought about doing another reset to manufacturers' settings while I still could. Did it (with the phone charging on USB) and when it turned back on the battery was at 10%? WTF?
5. I thought the best thing to do was to deplete the battery completely which I did and left it on AC charging for a couple of hours. When I came back, the red light was blinking. I turned it on, and the battery was at miserable 2% again, just enough to turn it on.
Any suggestions or possible solutions?
Thank you for reading my BS, appreciate it. :good:

I had this problem and it was the charger so use another one.

The thing I forgot to mention was that we tested the charger on my borthers' S3 mini and it worked ok.
Anyway, thanks, will try that tomorrow when I get my hands on another charger, but it seems unlikely, seeing how it's not charging properly even via USB and how it charged the S3 mini ok.

That happened to me too. Tested my htc charger on a xperia s and works fine but plugged into my phone doesn't work. So i just use a sony charger and it works fine.

Another development in the story - it's not the charger.
I left it on charger (new charger) overnight, in the morining - 6%. Rebooted it - 90%. WTF
I'm on Android Revolution 30.1 and before it was happening on stock 4.2.2. - any ideas?
Also, should I be worried about CPU-Z showing that the CPU is constantly going from 5% to 70% load when absolutely nothing else is turned on on the phone? (exept sense, no apps from my end I mean)

Check for wakelocks and recalibrate your battery

HELP; dead tablet not charging

Hi, I'm looking for some help as my tab pro 8.4 seems dead. I'm on stock and things were working ok but after the last charge the battery didn't seem be draining much. I switched it on today and no power in the tablet, so I plugged in the charger. Now all I get is a flashing screen with the battery pic stuck at empty after hours of charging. If I unplug the charger the screen switches off but the tablet won't boot!
Any help very much appreciated. To be honest it looks rather dead me.
I've tried going into recovery but it doesn't do it!
Thanks.

Update to my previous post.
After trying two chargers which both function with all my other devices, thought I'd try the original Samsung charger....this did the trick and the tablet started charging...all is good now.
