Evo from hell????

It always seems like there's something wrong with my evo. This morning I went to pick up my evo after it was plugged in all night (like i do every night) and it was burning hot. I looked at it and it said it was 133 degrees so i unplugged it and turned it off immediately, after it cooled down I turned it back on and it was at 70% battery after it was charging all night, so it wasn't charging at all last night even though the light was on and it was showing a green full charge when I woke up. after I turned it on it was on for about 2 minutes then automatically rebooted and then was on for another 3 min and rebooted again for no reason. my phone reboots randomly alot. this happens to me a few times a day usually 2 or 3 times. sometimes while im doing something important and sometimes when the evo is int even being used.
Does anyone have any idea what my problem might be?
My evo setup is fresh 3.3, no custom kernel. ebay 3000mah battery no case or anything like that for overheating. ive been running this setup for months (just with lower fresh builds) and have random reboots. This is the first overheating issue. The only thing thats changed is I started using a .99 ebay blackberry micro usb but ive been using that for a week and never had a charging issue. my hw v is 3

I'm thinking that maybe the battery has an issue. Have you tried with the old battery? As far as the other problems that you have, it does not look good. Try reflashing, if it does not fix it then it is likely that you need your phone replaced.

Im not sure because Ive been using this battery a long time with no problem, even now I plugged in the phone and its charging fine with no problems. If it does this again tonight maybe its the battery, I was thinking maybe it was something to do with that battery being plugged in to long.

I would say it's your aftermarket battery or BB charger. Try and use the OEM accessories.

what about the rebooting issue? this was there before the aftermarket battery and charger

As I said before, try reflashing the ROM and see how it behaves. If the problem is still there AFTER a clean install then it is hardware related, if not then, well keep the ROM

Ahh lol welcome onboard! Yes I believe it's probably the charger and not the battery. $0.99? Great deal, but be careful.

I got the same over heating issue on the stock battery a day ago. It was burning hot when I woke up, and took out the battery with the ac on blast for a minute. It wasnt plugged in, so I was surprised it happened while on the stock battery. Went to my 3000mah battery from ebay, that I have never had any problems at all with.
I was running cm6 with stock kernel. Im guessing it was a freak accident, since no reboots or any after effect from the heat.
On the positive side, I was able to push down the screen due to the heat and fix my light leakage problem

Is there a chance it might be something to do with apps ive installed?

That is precisely why you need to reflash so you can know for sure if it is a problem with the device itself or just a software glitch.

See if you have too many rotation options checked in cm settings. That made mine reboot a lot. Now just have 90 and no more issues...

I dont use CM I use fresh

The only external item left is the sdcard. Try another. If it still reboots, then return it for service/replacement. The low battery and heat and reboot can all be caused by a large amp draw. Install alogcat from market and look for messages indicating why. You could also use quicksysteminfo from market, and look at the dmsg's.

I have had a similar problem with my girlfriends Evo. Random reboots until it got to the point where it was just stuck rebooting. After reading this thread, I recognize battery heating as a symptom as well. I ended sending it in to HTC for warranty repair. It turned out to be a bad chip of some type. Having seen a number of threads regarding random rebooting, I wonder if there might not be a defective series of these chips. At any rate, the warranty process was quick and easy. No problems since I got the phone back. This was also an unrooted phone, so I think your ROMs are probably working correctly and it is more hardware issue.

you need to reflash bad.
There is nothing hardware related that is going to run you 100 cpu all the time.

[Q] Battery or Phone Problem? is making me crazy

Almost every week i have this problem with the phone acting a bit weird. First the phone start slowing down or kind of frizzing, next i turn the phone off...and on again. Suddenly my battery goes from 50's charge to 7% and the phone message said i need to charge the battery. I would turn off the phone again...take the battery out for few 10 seconds or more, put it back and restart the phone? now the meter says i have about 25% charge...i plug it to the charger and wait until is 100% and then seems to work fine for another week until the same thing happen again! Now im on FD16 but this problem has been occurring since i bought the phone 6 months ago on stock, so i think is not flashing new modems or kernels. a bad battery ? Does anybody have any idea how troubleshoot this a little further or has experimented this phone behavior. Or should go back to stock and send this baby to Sprint to try to get a replacement?
I just got to the point that i cant deal with this anymore since i dont know when it is going to happen and may not have a charger at hand!
Please i need some suggestions !

I have the same issue, is not the battery i tried a few batts and still reboots, im gonna wait for the official ics update to see if is just a bug or a deffective phone.

The battery percentage always decreases dramatically everytime you reboot. Android just doesnt read correctly after rebooting.

The only time my battery would drastically drop after a reboot was when I rooted my phone wrong and it would reboot about 10 times a day and when it did I would lose a good 50% of the battery. Now if I reboot I lose 1-2% even if I flash a new rom. On to this guys issue I would say if it has been doing it since you bought it, it is likely a hardware issue with the phone. My old Evo used to do that. I just ended up selling it because I wasnt sure if it was a problem with the phone or just the fact that, that phone was slow as **** anyway!

[Q] Heavy battery drain after SOD

Hi Xperia users,
I am the owner of a Xperia Arc S ICS .587 rooted that gave me satisfaction until some months ago ...
I was driving in my car with Google Maps and then the phone suddenly shut down. It was a SOD : I tried several times to reboot the phone, I removed the battery several times as well, but nothing. Finally the phone could reboot after 2 hours ... And since this date the phone has a VERY VERY heavy battery drain. It means that when I leave it on a table with a 100% charge without using it, the autonomy doesn't last more than 24 hours. Even when the phone is turned off, there is a battery drain of ~5%/hours.
I tried these solutions without success :
- Purchase of a new battery
- Wipe battery stats, then discharge and charge
- Wipe data/cache/factory reset (without the SD on which there is my apps with Link2sd), and then installation of a new ROM (Ultimate HD)
The day I was driving, I wasn't doing modifications on my phone of course ... just charging and screen active for 2 hours that makes it warm. If the battery or the ROM didn't change anything, I think it's maybe a component that burn/melt.
And some weeks ago, the white band on the side of the battery became red. The white band in the small hole on the back of the phone as well. What does it mean ? (you can see the pics)
I am looking for people who got the same problem ... or who can find what is happening exactly
Thank you

I just tried it last night. Nothing special to report.
I was in airplane mod during 8h after full charge ... Notice that I lost 30%...

The module for monitoring battery consumption could be damaged. It was posted in forums a while back.

If you let it discharge and turn off, pull the battery out and reinsert it, does the phone turn on?

It seems to be relevant, as I really think it is a hardware problem. But I didn't find any discussion about this part in the forum.

I have never tried in that way. I know that when it arrives to 0%, it's really 0% and there is no juice in the battery. I will test tomorrow ...

I saw it a while back actually.
Well, it doesn't matter.
If it's a hardware problem, best to bring it to a repair shop and get it checked.
P.S The white band near the battery seems to be a fuse of some sort. Strongly suggest to get it checked.

Hmmm, I had the same problem with other phones but for different reasons.
My Nokia 5610 had a piece of paper attached to the battery compartment. When it turned red, it meant that the motherboard had been corroded.
For my friend's Motorola Razr, there is a fuse inside the phone that will blow if he unlocks the bootloader. There is no indication by visual inspection but it will show under detailed inspection.
I think your case may be hardware failure, since you got the red band after your phone got SOD.

The phone is working perfectly, except the autonomy. I think a damaged motherboard would cause bigger problems.
Even if I have a custom ROM, I didn't unlock my bootloader. And the battery became red about 2-3 weeks ago, my SOD was 5 months ago. Maybe the battery begins to suffer from the high consumption.

Battery drain 10% after restart

I am looking for an explanation on my problem. Every time I restart my sm-t520 the battery shows 10% less than before the restart. If I turn the tablet off for about 30 seconds, and turn on the tablet, the battery shows what it suppose to.
Could it be that the connector for the battery is loose or something? It does that on every rom I flash

Same problem on stock?

Everything seems good since yesterday, tried several times to restart the tablet and always shows good battery percentage. So just unplug and replug battery connector did the job.

I bought this tablet used from someone. Maybe this person droped the tablet when he had it and the connector was half disconnected (just my thought). But its running good now

(SOLVED) Pixel 2 XL charging stuck at 99% all of a sudden

My 2 XL is only a month old. There is no complain about charging before. It was normal. Hit 100% everytime. Until several days ago, I woke up in the morning and my phone does stuck at 99% with charging rapidly status. I've tried to drain the battery and fully charge, try to flash factory image, but the problem still exist. The phone does charge normally to 90%, then getting slow and more slow when hit 95%, it takes very long time to get to 99, then it stuck for hours. I'm using app called AccuBattery, just want to monitor the charge speed. And there it is, the phone stop the charging at 99%, charging speed shows -1 , so basically the phone cut the power input when hitting 99% although the status still not fully charged. Until I rebooted the phone then it will hit 100%.
So what happened to my phone? I'm using original charger from the box. Is it software or hardware issue? Thank you
The first image is when stucked on 99% and the charge speed show -1. After that I rebooted the phone then charge speed increasing, not -1 anymore at 99%. The second image is when the phone says fully charged at 100% and charge speed back to -1, which is normal if the phone already fully charged.
EDIT:
Solved - see my post below

What is it at though? But on all my previous rmas, I had sometimes great issues in from charging past 98%.. I would have to turn it off for it to register that it's actually charged to 100% and more than likely it would drop to 99 as soon as I unplugged it.

Yeah I got a replacement at the time but not for that sole reason so I don't know if it would work but I don't think it's that much of an issue if you are still getting 6+h sot

Yeah, I'm planning to do that. I'm just uncomfortable with my phone acting weird, it supposed to hit 100% everytime normally like before. And a little afraid that this issue would make any affect in the future, broken battery or worse. If there's an explanation how this is happened and it's safe, then I might not make any complain anymore.

I had the same issue with my Oct 18 2 XL.
Download Accubattery and "calibrate" your battery.
It removes a file (.bin or something) that resets the batter charge percentage.
I really think the 99% thing is harmless, but if it bugs you (I get it) Accubattery will remove the file that resets it.
Good luck!

I currently using AccuBattery as shown on my post attachment and I didn't found any "calibrate" menu inside the app.
I've done so many methods, like drain the battery to 0% and charge it or re-flash factory image but seems none worked. So I search on the internet about delete the .bin file under root/data folder, but I didn't found any folder called data on /root (currently running android 10). I'm stucked.
So I'm thinking how if pull the battery out and put it back maybe it will reset something, but it seems impossible to do with myself. Until I found a method to hard reboot the phone with press power button + vol down for maybe 10sec. My phone was 75% at that time, after hard reboot my battery increased to 78%. Then I tried to charge the phone and voila, hit 100% normally, didn't need to unplug and replug to hit 100% anymore. It's been 3 days my phone is act normal again. Hope it will lasts forever.
So my conclusion is, seems the hard reboot method somehow force cut the power from the battery to the phone just like we pull out battery then put it back and maybe it's reset something maybe like batterystats or anything. Idk. But I'm glad nothing happened and it was just software error.

Oh, I just realized that. Thank you. But I think it didn't work for me. Nvm, my phone is normal now :laugh:

I had somewhat of the same issue with my phone too. Would sit around 98% then after taking it off the charger overnight, my battery would drop like a rock to around 85%. No idea if I was just imagining things but I don't remember that much battery life wasted away like that overnight when not in use at all.
I also sent mine in for RMA last Thursday and get it back later on today so hopefully the issue will be resolved.

I have also been experiencing the same issue since upgrading to Pie last year. Once it returned to normal for 1 month only and then went back to 98% charging issue until today

I would assume broken battery. Never experienced drain so much like that when not in use. My phone normally about 1-2% drop overnight (always on display off). It's great you got replacement, but check twice for screen, 2 XL known for defective screen.

Yeah I am content with the RMA replacement it's just fine, no issues thus far. Just annoying the update breaks charging sound file and lockscreen lock/unlock sounds. But I eventually got those issues fixed too.
