My battery was overheating so I just took out the battery. It was at low battery before so it said connect to an AC charger. If I take it out and put it back in to charge when its done will it turn on?
I think you should put the battery in but not charging, and see if it's heating up again. Could be a one 1 time thing.

Good Morning everybody!
I think I have a defective thunderbolt battery, sometimes when I pull my phone off the charger it drops to 95%. Funny thing this is not a everyday thing. Anybody having a similar problem like this? Sorry if this been discuss before. Have a bless day everybody...on my way to the office.
I have the same thing happen. There is something goofy with how the meter reports battery level. If you reboot your phone it drops even more.

Yea I notice that too. I seen my battery drop down 15 percent after rebooting. Is the battery defective? Or the phone is defective?
Bump charge it. Charge it all the way. Unplug, turn it off, then on, and keep charging.

The phone/battery aren't defective. I have the extended battery so I never bump charge it, but he is right. Charge it up until your charging light goes green, unplug it and then turn it off. Once it shuts down, plug it back in and will now be orange. Charge it until it's green again. Sometimes it will take a few minutes, sometimes an hour. I'm also color blind so I can never tell whether that damned light is red/orange/green. >.<

He gonna have to turn it on then plug the charger in. If left off then plugged in the phone will boot into recovery.

charge ur batt. to 100%, then go into cwm and clear batt. stats, when u turn it back on it should b around 80-85% then charge all the way back full again and then u will b at full capacity

is this all the time we have to do, I have the extended battery and it doesnt drop and I read about clearing the batterystats.bin but is this something we always have to do when we charge the phone? when I use the standard stock battery it drops with no problem
I didn't have any issues until I wiped the battery stats and now, my battery is constantly inconsistent. I would not recommend doing it as it has nothing but a pain in my arse since.
Have tried "bumping it" which essentially means to charge it to 100%, restart it, then charge it back again from whatever it dropped to.. Mine initially was around 85ish.. After a few "bumps" it crept up to 90 or 91 and then wouldn't go any higher. I charged it back to 100% and decided to follow the advice from another article which said to let it deplete to 0%.. In doing that, surprisingly it "froze" in a couple of places, I don't recall the 1st % but the 2nd % was definitely at the 28% mark. It literally sat there for a good 2+ hours with screen on max and didn't go down. Eventually it went down to 1% and I charged it back to 100%.
Issues still remain, wondering if I should've let it completely die out and force itself off?
Lesson: DO NOT MESS WITH BATTERY STATS with CW.

Where do I get into CWM, to do this?
Thanks for your help everybody! I'm sorry if this is a dumb question...what is CWM? My device is stock.
CWM = Clockwork Mod.. Goto Market, download ROM manager, then you can flash CWM. Not sure if that'll do you any good if you're not rooted though.
why when I reboot my phone like 15% of the battery life drops I love this damn phone man...i cant put it down while im at work
The battery reading after reboot is wierd.
Yesterday I was at 51% and draining are at a pretty steady rate like normal. After rebooting, it showed 41% but then it say at 41% for AWHILE.. after like an hour, it read 40% and started discharging at the normal rate.

Thanks for the repost, I had skimmed this thread earlier but don't recall it being so detailed. Seems like the moral of the story is that while "bump charging" works, it's not really recommended as it can reduce the overall life of the battery. Wonderful, now I regret ever messing with the battery stats at all, although I can't say for sure I didn't have this issue prior to doing so.
My OEM battery wouldn't hold a charge even after charging it all day... I took it to the VZ store and they replaced it for free...... I also just bought the larger 2750 mAh battery.... works great!
Ok , so every time I flash a rom I calibrate my battery. But I noticed the battery last the longest after the first charge of calibrating. When I calibrate, I kill the battery, pull the battery, put it back in and wipe bat stats. I then leave my phone to charge overnight (6hrs). At that point, turn the phone on and off, charge it again while off until it shows 100% (usually about another 10-15min). The battery last about 2 days with moderate use. I wait for the battery to die before I charge it again. But this time, I charge it the normal way. I don't go the full 6hrs, I just wait until it shows 100% (usually 2-3hrs max) and unplug the charger. But on this charge, the phone only last about a day. So my question is, what could be making this difference in battery life? Any chance these phones really need over night charging (6hrs) to get maximum battery life?
btw, I'm running Valhalla final.
From my understanding battery life takes a few days to settle in especially after flashing a new ROM

I would think that letting it soak in would see battery life only get better not get worse and then start improving again. I'm gonna do more overnight charging and compare it to just charging to 100% and unplugging the charger. And see if it truly makes a difference.

Here's what has happened with mines after new ROM flash (Valhalla o/c 1.256), and calibration first charge(right after calibration) with phone on = 25+ hours, second charge off to full unplugged power on = 9+ hours, third charge phone on =17+ hours, on fourth charge phone on =3 hours with 85% left...

I flashed weapon onto my g2x and like it...used it for like 5 days,then I was calibrating my battery by charging it fully, using a battery calibration app to reset the stats when it was at 100%, and I drained the battery to 0%.
I was playing a movie when it hit 0%, it showed t-mobile's goodbye screen, but never shut off. I let it sit there and walked away. 30 minutes later t-mobiles goodbye screen was still on the screen, and I removed the battery...put it back in, plugged in the charger, then couldn't get it to turn on. I let it charge for 3 hours (the plug was surely live, it would charge my evo 3d when I tested the charger), but still can't get the phone to do anything!
I'm guessing something went wrong with the battery, so I ordered a replacement...but I can't understand what or why. What do you guys think? I'm a little worried that it was something more than the battery but I won't know till the battery is here in a few days.

It is possible the Battery is fried. Today's batteries should never be drained to 0. There are charge circuit's inside that can be damaged.
solved
taking the battery out and putting it back in didn't work...but it did finally come on once I removed the sim card.
wierd...oh well, glad its back up and running. I saw someone in a comment somewhere say they couldn't get theres to power back on until they removed the sim card...and it worked for whatever reason.
It has been said by a Google developer for android that battery calibration doesn't do anything for the battery.
Battery stats only tell you what's been running and using battery, not anything about the capacity of your battery.
Not sure but I think your battery is just very dead. I suggest to keep trying to charge, but make sure the phone isn't getting too hot.
Here it is.
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
And just for future reference the g2x has issues with turning off due to a dead battery. So if it ever dies like that again just pull the battery immediately. Also sometimes it won't even make it to 0%, I've had mine die at as high as 4%.

The phone's charge circuit can't be damaged by a "dead" battery, the charge circuit is self-monitoring and protects itself, the phone and the battery.
The battery can be damaged by its voltage being too low or being charged improperly. A cheap battery with no or fake charge and temperature monitoring can overheat and cause damage to itself and the phone.
Cheap external battery chargers, or those which aren't meant for the type of battery being charged, can/will damage the battery. Overheated batteries can catch fire and/or explode.

I just got a second battery, but when inserted, it shows the last battery percentage from the previous battery. The G2x is designed to be used only with one battery? Or is that a feature of Android? that's just stupid.
Anyways, how do you guys and girls do it? Do I have install Battery Calibration and calibrate everytime I insert another battery?
I've had this happen to me, I think that restarting after inserting the new battery does the trick.
Just leave the battery out for like 20 seconds. It'll then recognize the new battery.

This was brought up before by me and this is indeed the fix.

Sooo, does that mean that if I let the phone run on one battery until it gets down to 0%, if I put a charged battery, will it turn on?

Yes it will it. If you just wait a little bit before putting the new battery in it will act like normal tho

Guys, suddenly with 100% charge, the phone shuts off and restarts alone, and it's like bootloop, then I put it in charge and go. I noticed that while in bootloop, if I go in twrp I do not see the battery charge. I'll put him in charge and go. The ROM is not the problem. Another thing I noticed that sometimes when I do this problem and I charge it, I see the battery while it is charging, as when charging it off and it ranges from 1% to the% where it was actually knocking on second, or every second increases by one. Motherboard or battery problem?
the problem is not every day.
