Recently I have had my phone turn off and not turn on, even when plugged into the charger, it blinks red for a while then it will stop blinking, after that I can turn it back on. It gets really hot, which is why I guess it is overheating. It only does this on long calls, these calls are important which is why I need to figure out how to stop this from happening.

Are you overclocking? Also how good is your battery? Batteries tend to get warm when the current draw is more than what the battery is capable of. I purchased a third party battery by Anker. Seems to run cooler for me and lasts longer than the stock battery ever did.
I have the same problem

I noticed this more with sense roms than i did with aosp or cm based ones. One thing you can try doing that may help as a temp relief, is turn off 3g and use 2g mode only. It will consume far less power during a phone call, ive personally almost doubled my call length by doing this. I only enable 3g(3.5g) when i need data.

How long have you had you Inspire? It has been well documented that there was a string of bad batteries. Many people got free replacements from AT&T or HTC, or just buy an Anker like goat tamer said. I have one also.

Yeah I forgot about the batch of oem bad batteries. Every once in awhile especially playing some intense games my phone would warm up. With the anker battery my phone NEVER gets warm now.

I haven't done any overclocking, I am using the freshly squeezed version of MIUI. The battery seems fine. I got this one as an insurance replacement for my Inspire last month, it is an obvious refurb, so no telling how old it really is. I will look into the Anker battery.

I will be getting my Charge tomorrow...I will report back Wednesday after a day of use...
I have the TB but I also have the extended battery.....which I will be getting with the Charge also....I am in a STRONG 4g area......at work and at home
The Charge gives me about three extra hours of battery life on a charge. That is in a 4g area all day. The battery still goes fast if you use the phone non stop but nowhere near as fast as the Thunderbolt. I have my wife the Thunderbolt since she did not mind using it worth the extended battery.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
I have both phones (Charge and Thunderbolt) and use both through-out the day.
The Charge definitely has better battery life than a stock Thunderbolt, but it's not good enough to get you through a full 16-18 hour day if you're any kind of moderate to heavy user.
Nice thing about both phones is that the batteries are so thin on them that you can carry a spare in your wallet (I have a stock spare for each phone in my credit card slots) and my wallet is still thinner than my roommates, even though I carry twice the cash he does.
Some more followup for the OP:
Today I am at 15% after 6:44 off the charger. Display sucked up 83% of the battery used. The display was on for 2:28.
WiFi on, but not connected. 4G enabled and active all day. Did a significant amount of browsing, tapatalk forums. A few text messages, a Skype chat, a Google talk chat. A short phone call and a few Words With Friends moves.
Screen brightness set to maximum.

LOL...okay busted.
I had the ThunderBolt with the extended battery and I have the Charge with the extended battery as well. Based on equal usage of emails, web, phone calls and more importantly installing the apps from a fresh device reset the Charge battery is a hell of a lot better than the ThunderBolt is, simply put.
I have a question regarding switching between my original battery and a spare battery. Since the phone calibrates with the battery stats how does then switching to a spare battery and charging and using that battery for a while work? How does the phone handle having 2 different batteries switched and knowing what the proper capacity is for each battery. When I first charge the new spare battery I'm concerned that the phone will think it has the original battery that is properly calibrated and will not charge the new spare battery properly and to it's full capacity for some reason. I'm not sure if I'm just over thinking this ( I have a tendency to do that ) or if this is a real concern.
As far as storing the battery that's not in use, I've read Li-ion batteries store best when at 20% charge. How are most users handling the storing of the battery that's not in use?
Anyone?? Surely there are users here who switch between 2 batteries.
Bump....Still waiting for an answer and or advice.
I don't know about anyone else, but here's my experience.
I bought two aftermarket 1500mah batteries and external wall chargers from dealextreme.com. So I have three batteries total and I can be charging all three simultaneously if the phone is used as the third charger.
I normally have one battery in one charger at home and a second battery in the other charger at my office while I'm using the third battery. I can easily make it through a busy day at work on one battery and I'll swap before I leave for home. Depending on how heavily I use my phone at home, I'll swap batteries again before bed or before I leave for work the next morning. On weekends or when I know I'll be away from chargers for most of a day, I'll bring one charged battery in my pocket and swap if needed. I've never needed a second spare.
So I regularly carry fully charged batteries in pockets at body temperature and I don't take special precautions when charging or using batteries. I don't recalibrate the battery stats in my G2 either. I should note that I don't overclock the CPU. I usually turn GPS off if I am not using it but I often leave wifi and BT on. If I'm using google navigation, I try to have the phone plugged into a car charger because the GPS and the screen on constantly _will_ drain a battery in a couple of hours.

Free=good. But note that shipping takes about a month to the east coast.
I'm considering getting Evo Shift 1800mah batteries from there since they are 5-6 bucks each with free shipping. Even if they are crap, it's cheap to try them out.
I had a total of 4 batteries swapping them out all the time. The only downfall I saw to doing this was my alarms getting out of wack sometimes, alarms that I had going on every day like for a break at work, clocking in, lunch etc... and also I had to setup my clock everytime I popped a new battery in.
U want to know what's better then doing this? 3600mah mugen by far. I get 2-3.5 days out of it. Cheap 1500mah batteries I swapped once every 18 hours or so.

interesting enough that you guys have have problem with clock. I have Yaobao 1500mah battery which was built for HTC mozart but fit just fine in Z, I did not have such problem but the price a bit expensive than other OEM, around $20 if converted to USD from Indonesian Rupiah.
Swapping is easy, while if I'm using the Yaobao battery the battery door might have a bit of gap prior to closure

Perhaps I don't understand the use case for your alarms. I put events in google calendar with reminders. Those sync automatically with my phone and the internal clock in my phone is set from Tmo's network. I personally hate the alarm clock app.

I said alarms, I meant google calender. The reminders would go off all the time. 30 minutes late, 2 hours late, 63.5 minutes late... it was freaking weird.
Also alarms... while switching batteries my alarm didn't go off in the morning for work 3 times in a two month or so period.
And about the time, I also had it auto sync'd but a lot of the time it would take a long time to finally sync... once i popped a battery in at night and even by the next morning the time still hadn't sync'd.
Good luck, but I would never go back to switching batteries..

Is it safe to put in my Desire Z? I saw Evo ones but i don't wanna sand it down and all that.
Is this one good? I'd appreciate if any owner, more than one, had it and could share.

They should fit perfect. I got 3 batteries and 3 chargers for 20 bucks shipped. They were alright.. but the oem ones did last a little bit longer.

Wow Mog. I've never experianced thoes problems, with clock sync, before. I don't have too many reminders set. Mostly birthdays and special events. I do have one that's set to go off once a day, M-F, and its always went off at the scheduled time.
That us weird. I've been switching batteries almost since the phone came out. Started with 2 chichi + stock, for about 2 months, but didn't like the fit of them. Since than, I've been using 2 stock batteries, with one sitting in my pocket.
Actually switched batteries about 5 hrs ago, before I went to sleep, and at 5:30am on the dot, my alarm went off...than shortly after that, at 6:15am, my backup alarm went off.
That must suck.

anyone have any suggestions?
I had the same problem when I first got my phone, I phoned my provider and he said that shouldn't happen. It was replaced straight away.
Thanks for your reply. However, if I replace it, that would be my fourth one. Its not doing this every time. I didn't do a reboot for over a week though. If I call up T-Mobile regarding this issue would they send me a refurbished one?

EDIT: T-Mobile was absolutely no help. They said I can contact the manufacturer and go that route or send it since its under warranty but that would get me a refurbished phone.
I contacted HTC and they agreed to send me a brand new battery. Will report back if this issue happens again.

edit: wtf i cant delete my own thread..

Coming from an Evo you'll probably think the Infuse has amazing battery life. People complaining usually have a rogue app or are victims of the random Gingerbread battery bug. I've experienced great battery life on both my rom and CM7. By great I mean ~16 hours with heavy usage... 4-6 hours of display on time (browsing and other random stuff) and 1-2 hours of listening to podcasts or music with the screen off. I'm usually connected to wifi except when I'm on the road and brightness is usually set to auto, sometimes to 30 or 40 percent. People have reported 2-3 days without charging if they stay connected to wifi and use the phone very lightly.
Yup, I've gone 3 days with light use and still around 30%. Of coarse, that's on infused though
I get 3-4 days on my captivate with 3000mAh battery makes my phone a lot thicker though
Not sure if they have good extended batts for infuse but the stock battery is a good size. This is my next phone when i resign next month.

So far no extended batt has tested at more than 2500 actual (despite claiming to be 3500).
Hello guys I'm I little worried. Here's the thing, I tried for some days figuring out how to root,unlock bootloader, super CID, etc.. it was with good battery life, but after I did all that, I installed the viperxl (i used it with my older HOXL) and everything ran good. What I have noticed is that my battery drain is so, I mean soooo bad..!
I tried a full wipe but I think it's still the same. My phone its brand new so there is no problem with older owners. I haven't changed the radio (maybe could be that?) I have lost more battery on standby than when using the phone and that didn't happened with my older HOXL
So could be that I messed my battery when I charged the phone with the nexus 7 charger??
Or what could be the problem?? Any suggestions will be good, thanks....

Is the N7 charger more amps than the One X charger? Some folks on here have said that the device will only pull the amps it needs, others have contradicted this.

Its a mental thing. I use my nexus 7 charger at home and my htc one at work and a high output Motorola in the car. My battery life has always been superb. Running latest viper with beastmode evita...
From what I know about charger outputs, it doesnt matter, it depends on the device. It can only pull in its max regardless of the charger. Higher the output in a charger should be better so your phone can pull in its max
There's also other factor that contributes to horrible battery life. Rogue apps, horrible networks that switches back and forth between lte and hspa+ and so on...
The last thing could just be a bad battery. Not common but I'm pretty sure it happens

yep the specifications of amps is the current that the charger can handle, as long as the charger of the n7 can handle the same or more current than the one xl charger it should be ok, many chargers are 1A.
For the OP , i think you should definitively try with another rom, maybe stock to make sure that the problem is not your battery?

Your device isn't going to take in 2A. It's only going to take in what it can. I'm not saying that by using a different charger is not going to harm your device, it's just highly unlikely it will. They only way is to flash back to stock and see if that makes a different.
Also, you mention you had another 1x, is your current one a refurb or replacement? That may have something to do with it as well
The Rom is awesome but there are times when it doesn't work for very small numbers of devices...you're just prob unlucky.

It might be your radio switching back and forth that's draining your battery.
I have 2 jobs, my first one has lte coverage but not so great in the building so it's always switching from LTE to 4g which I notice drains my battery. My 2nd job at night has great coverage in and out the warehouse. I get full bars of LTE there and my battery would drain very slowly.
In the beginning, I was worried as well because my battery drain seem like a lot so I thought something was wrong but then I checked the battery at my second job and it was great so I figured it was just the network and location.
Overall, especially compared to all the androids I ever used, the one x battery is pretty damn impressive especially for an LTE device.
I came from Verizon using the droid razr and galaxy nexus which couldn't make it past 4 hours on lte with light usage

Edit: while we're talking batteries... I heard a tech from.the ATT Device Service Center tell two people not to charge their phones overnight because leaving it on the charger when it's full is bad for the battery. Those guys are so smart! They must get their info from Yahoo Answers.

The battery meter calibration gets wiped whenever you flash a custom ROM. You should do at least 2-3 power cycles before making any judgements on battery. Charge to full, but only drain to 10-20%. Draining to shutoff doesn't make it any more accurate, but has the added risk that once in a while the safety circuit will not engage properly, and you will be stuck with a battery that will not accept a charge.
Also, on any ROM but stock AT&T, you can toggle LTE off. Since you don't have LTE in your area, toggle it off (if you haven't already) in Settings>Mobile network settings>network mode.

That's the explanation I've read previously.
But if so, why did HTC used a different charger plug for the HTC Flyer tablet than all their phones? The charge port is an interesting one, in that its bigger than a MicroUSB port, but will still accept a MicroUSB charge or sync cable (the plug only takes up the bottom "half" of the port when plugged in). The pins needed for data sync are the same, and in fact you can actually plug any MicroUSB sync cable or charger into the Flyer. But you can't plug the Flyer's charger (1.62 Amp) to any HTC phone, only the Flyer (and I assume the Jetstream tablet).
Many have said that this is so people would not plug the Flyer charger to a phone, and damage the phone from the higher amps.
Seems like the difference in amps is the only reason HTC used a different charge port for the Flyer.

In my experience, an uncalibrated battery can go from 8% battery to 0% in a matter of minutes. The only way that I've corrected this is with a full discharge.

You're just calibrating the meter, not the battery. The notion of calibrating the battery is left over from 80s technology NiCad batteries.
Under the best of circumstances, the battery meter is nowhere near accurate enough to expect readings less than 8% to be accurate. If you've experienced some more "accurate" reading at this granularity, it may just be placebo or pure chance. Even if true, I'd rather have a bit of inaccuracy in the low end, rather than play with the probability of a battery that won't take a charge.
In any case, you shouldn't be running your battery down that low. We all do it once in a while, but it shouldn't be habit.

In my experience, an uncalibrated battery can go from 8% battery to 0% in a matter of minutes. The only way that I've corrected this is with a full discharge.

You would be wrong, the battery meter is recalibrated on each boot.

The battery usage data is wiped with each boot or charge (same as wiping battery stats). But I don't think that is the same as the calibration data.

Hello guys I'm I little worried. Here's the thing, I tried for some days figuring out how to root,unlock bootloader, super CID, etc.. it was with good battery life, but after I did all that, I installed the viperxl (i used it with my older HOXL) and everything ran good. What I have noticed is that my battery drain is so, I mean soooo bad..!
I tried a full wipe but I think it's still the same. My phone its brand new so there is no problem with older owners. I haven't changed the radio (maybe could be that?) I have lost more battery on standby than when using the phone and that didn't happened with my older HOXL
So could be that I messed my battery when I charged the phone with the nexus 7 charger??
Or what could be the problem?? Any suggestions will be good, thanks....

I use my N7 charger all the time with no ill effects.
