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.

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.
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
I have this problem: youtube.com/watch?v=chvRbwgT9n8
Sprint Galaxy S3, unrooted, stock
Basically one night my phone would not turn on after the battery completely drained out. Put on charger but phone would not turn on. Did the spin test on original battery and it seemed busted. Ordered a new battery, put it into phone, charged for a couple hours and have the same problem the above youtuber does. The battery icon looks identical (both the grey and ~90% one).
1) If phone is unplugged nothing happens, can't start into recovery/download/boot.
2) If phone is plugged in it will show grey battery icon for like 10s, then go to a green battery screen where it shows the battery is ~90% full. The red charging light stays on.
3) I can boot into recovery mode if the phone is plugged in but if I try to normal boot the phone it will 50% get to the S3 splash screen, vibrate, and then turn off, and then 50% of the time it will boot to the home screen but wifi and data will not work (the battery icon will show 100% at this point). After a few seconds the phone will vibrate, turn off, and return to the grey battery icon swirly and then back to the 90% green battery screen.
4) I've tried wiping cache and doing factory reset but doesn't seem to phase it.
5) Reflashing via Odin to stock doesn't fix issue.
Any ideas? It doesn't seem like the power button issue because usually in those cases the battery shows as low or it will be stuck in a constant repeating cycle. This just seems like the phone is not drawing any power from the battery. Thanks.
Update: so it appears that the longer I leave it on the charger the longer I can use it while connected. The issue now is that Wifi and data will not enable, sound intermittently works, bluetooth doesn't work. I found someone else with _exactly_ the same issue and symptoms who had a weird fix:

OK, Czech this out, I took my sim card and SD card out of the phone and tried to start it, and guess what? IT FREAKING CAME ON!!! It obviously wont function without the SIM card, and it prompted me to turn off the phone and reinstall the SIM, but after doing that, it started right back up like it was new.SO EVERYONE GIVE THAT A SHOT. We'll see if it gives me any issues.

The problem for me is that the Sprint version doesn't have a SIM card and I'm not using a SD card. Is there any reason for this madness?
My 12.2 keeps crashing and ending up in SDCard Mode.
It works just fine after charging. I can boot up for a day or two, the battery seems to discharge normally, then I will try to boot up and it goes straight to SDCard Mode. Last night I was using it, the battery at about 70% and it crashed. Black screen then tried to reboot and it goes into the SDCard Mode.
Once in this mode I can do nothing with it. No response and if I shut it down with the button it lights back up into the mode after a couple seconds. It will not charge.
At this point I either have to leave it until the battery goes completely dead, then it will charge, or remove the back and disconnect the battery, plug in the charger and when the battery shows on the screen I can reattach the battery and it will begin to charge.
With both of these options once it starts to charge it shows that the battery is completely drained and starting at 0%
Anybody know what's causing this?
Thanks,
Jim
Today with 80% on battery I started some updates off the Google Store and the tablet crashed to the SDCard mode shortly after.

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.
