Hello all. I had an issue w/ my proximity sensor so I got an AE. It was defective, so I got ANOTHER AE.
Since I owned my EVO I always get extended batteries. I bought a 2750mah and it worked great. Then it started charging slowly.
I got giftcards to Best buy for my birthday so I got a new on there. (Sedio 3400 I believe)
Now when I try to charge my phone, it will literally take 2 hrs or so to get 15-20% charged.
I use my handset heavily, but w/ my EVO it was like 2hrs = a full charge and all day heavy use got me to a minimum of 25%.
I know LTE is to blame for a little battery drain, but any ideas? Full charge to 30% in like 5 hrs sometimes. Should I order another AE?
I'm on stlck w/ the most current software btw. Thanks.

Are you using an original stock charger? Are u charging through PC?
Battery could be defective..
I was thinking if he was rooted he needed to do battery calibration since he swtiched from stock to extended battery. Clear the stats and start over fresh. Maybe I am wrong, we'll see when we answers when or if he is rooted.

I am stock.
I switch between the HTC charger that came with it and several other after market cables/usb wall adapters.
I try to use plug in outlets as I know the "trickle" method takes forever.
I'm on my 2nd extended battery.

I had alot of issues with charging my Incredible to the point where my phone took 5 hours to charge and 1 hour to drain. No simple answer here but if you root your phone many options exist to fix this battery issue. Recal the battery would be the first option. If you are able Root try that and come back and report.

I know there are threads out there. but my concern is
The Anker battery 1900 MaH displays incorrect battery stat continuously.
no matter how many times i charge and discharge, it shows incorrect percentage. it stays on one percentage for a long time, and then drops 1 percent, but upon rebooting, it drops 4 percent straight away.
i have continuously charged now and rebooted and charged then rebooted and charged to try and get rid of this inconsistency but it doesn't seem to work.
Now on rebooting it has just jumped form 81% to 100%
anyone else with this problem and cure?
Which battery do you own or will buy
I don't think that's an anker battery problem my regular battery did the exact same thing....

recovery will not help...its a myth... may b as i assume the exploit used to get s-off dangerously messed up the battery safety limits and charging system...coz all now is sw controlled....to get rid of this... its recommended to return to s-on and stock and re unlock via htc code.... untill a safe method like dhd comes up using a safe exploit

Ouch, isnt that kinda harsh? My HTC battery seemed like it was like this before S-OFF as well, but I could be wrong.
I wonder if Alpharev is aware of this potential problem?
It seems that even though a reset causes the % to go up, it quickly comes back down to what it was at before. The charging stops at 4.12v, like it should, so I would say there may be something else up.
I was having the same problem with my stock battery AND my Anker. What I ended up doing is getting my battery to a low charge, then I wiped the battery stats in Recovery. I then charged the phone to 100% and used the Battery Calibration app to calibrate the battery. I used the phone and drained the battey untill it died, it was still reporting wrong percentage. Fully charged and did it again and drained the battery once more, from there it starting reporting normal precentages and still has to this day. Did this about a week ago.
Try it and report back.
A short summary of this would be to
1. Get phone to a low charge
2. Wipe battery stats.
3. Fully charge.
4. Use battery calibration app once it hits 100%(try to leave it charging for another hour after it hits 100%)
5.Use the device normally until it dies.
6. Charge the device again and repeat #5.
7.Report back here and tell me if it worked for you and then Thank my post if it did

well yes bro...but after s-off the batt voltage when sensation dies was merely 2.5v not even enought to charge again... so b cautious i am 100% sure batt safety limit is broke... and i helped 5 of my frndz to jumpstart after all dies and all had same voltage 2.49 so it is risky.... though on stock if fone dies still it charges coz it has min charge to b alive
I don't recommend the Momax battery, I tried one and the phone seriously overheated and switched itself off, then the battery wouldn't charge again.
That's the first and last time I'll try a cheap battery.

Strange! Ive never seen a lithium ion go below 3.3v when dead. When I let my battery die (to where I cant reboot the phone without letting it charge some) it is around 3.4v.
I wonder if S-OFF may have hurt some people and not others, purely by chance? I dont have any charging problems, but do see the miracle capacity boost on reboot. (Although it quickly drops down with some use). The only thing I see that is serious is reported standby current.

You should be okay, lithium ion batteries aren't hugely reliant on cycling when they are first used but its still good to do so just in case, but ignore your phone telling you its fully charged, use current widget while charging and check 'ma' value before disconnecting from power and when its sat at around 15 to 30 ma for half an hour or so while the phone is charging and doing nothing and then you can safely assume its fully charged or just leave overnight and check ma in the morning. This is because your phones still used to the ma and mv readings of a smaller battery so it thinks its full before it is. It will also say you have 100% battery for ages after a charge but again that's the phone not used to readings from a bigger battery.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the tip!! I have charged back to 0% and now im at 36% im really impressed because at this time usualy i would have left 10-15% let's hope it gets better and better !
I charged it overnight so i forgot does these battery charge faster then stock ?? Because stock takes like 3 hours from 0 to 100%

Whats a good battery widget to show the ma values etc ?
Well mine lasts me at least 12-14 hours of heavy use most days. To fully charge it will take longer due to the size difference but your phone will always say its charged before it really is, I don't bother watching the ma value much anymore I just give it a good 4-5 hours when it gets down to about 5%. Youl get used to it

let it go 0% then charge to 100%, then pull phone off charger, and put it on loader again (it auto resets batterystats) and then let it charge again for an hour (now ur sure its 100%)
then use it till 0% and do the same, load to 100% and pull it out, then put it in and charge
after u done this twice u should be ok in my eyes and get good performance

Turn off, things like vibrate on key press, touch tones, touch sounds make sure your apps ate not running in background! This is a huge battery drain! Believe it or not settings can make quite a difference!m going from 8am to 11pm heavy use without a charge! Some custom Roms are also made to increase battery life! You might want to look into that! I get so many extra hours out of Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2 , than I did with stock! I was amazed! Also don't use live wallpapers I know they are wonderful looking but they are quite a battery drain also. Good luck and hope I've helped you!

Hey thanks for the reply !
I have turned off stuff like vibration and so on except for screen is being 100% because i think we have to right to enjoy a sexy screen !
What would be the point to see barely nothing and not enjoy your phone fearing your battery gonna die ?
And yeah im not much onto live wallpapers ^_^ but again thanks for the tips now took it off charger and plugged again its going to charge for another hour i guess ..
Btw no more overheating issue its awesome !

Nope it won't decrease battery performance. Your battery will not overcharge or anything if you leave it on, the phone will only pull enough power to maintain a full charge when its reached 100%

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. I don't know enough about the topic to comment either way. I use a Motorola charger on my One X every day, since it has a longer cord than the HTC charger and it happens to work better where I have it located on my desk.
I can honestly say I've used my nexus 7 charger a few times with no problems

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

I've experienced crapp battery life after using my HP Touchpad charger.
Also, my 2nd HOX had horrible battery life out of the box. After fully draining > charging twice my screen on time went from 2.5 hours to 4+ hours with the exact same settings and 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.

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.

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.

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....

Hi guys,
In my phone my battery level keeps falling even when it I plugged to the charger...it goes up to a certain percentage and then starts falling off the cliff while still on charger...attaching a picture of the charge cycle...
I am on Albino JB 4.2.2 build 13th April. Have already tried three different batteries but same result...switched ROM and still the same...greenified most apps such as FB and maps...Even tried different chargers !!! This is really harassing me... Can someone guide me pls what to do next ???
Thanks

I've had the same problem once, do you use your original wall charger?
If not, buy an orginal no fake.
That's what helped with me
try a different battery.

Thanks for your suggestion.
I have already tried different batteries but maybe its the original wall charger thing. Will give it a shot.

Until that point it seems to be charging just fine. Will it charge the battery fully when the phone is off? Try completely discharging your battery then fully charging it while keeping your phone off.

Hi guys.
The problem continues !!!
Below are the things i have tried...
1.) Charging with original wall charger during phone on...Battery still declining during charging
2.) Completely wiped my phone and did not put any app still the same result
3.) Got a new Anker battery and still the same result (this is my fourth battery !!!)
4.) Tried different chargers and still the same result
5.) Switched off the phone and charged overnight and it took approx 8 Hrs to charge full but then the battery depleted quite quickly !!!
There is something wrong with the battery indicator it seems...Once the battery hits 0% while charging it rockets backs to 100% and then again starts to deplete.
Any more suggestions anyone ???
Maybe the charging electronic is just broken, if there is you have really tested new charger and new battery. Maybe controll your batterypins, maybe those are somehow broken (especially ground pin?)

I hope you also tried in different wall sockets lol
Otherwise I think the mechanism responsible is busted :S
Hi. I had the same problem. I solved it by getting a new cable for the charger. I.e. the charger was working well, but the cable was failing to deliver enough power. Hope this will work for you too.
