While at work today I had my phone on the charger as the battery was pretty much dead this morning.. towards the end of my shift I was doing some browsing using Opera and over 4G when I noticed the phone started getting hot. About a minute later I Got a pop up message saying the temp sensor has reached max temp and said I should pull the battery.. So I did... I waited for the Revo and battery to cool down and I put the battery back in and booted up... As soon as I could I launched my battery widget and the battery charge state graph showed that the battery had TANKED 47% instantly while being plugged in! The phone started getting hot again so I pulled the battery and decided to check into it again when I got home.
Now im home, and I had put the battery back in the phone and without even booting the Revo, the whole phone gets hot! Knowing something must be going on here I booted the phone anyways and checked my battery widget again and this time its reporting 3%!!
Anyone have a clue whats going on here? Phone or Battery?
Same thing happened to my sisters Droid 2 ... her fix ... iPhone 4s

Known issue friend. Make sure you are running stock OS, no CWM, and take it to Verizon. They will reset it to factory default, because that fixes everything in their book, and it will for a short time till it happens again.
Back up your data because they are gonna wipe that bad boy clean. They told me ALL DATA WILL BE LOST, that's when I grabbed my phone and ran. I reset it to factory on my on and had no more issues except now it just shuts off on its own occasionally. It happens with all roms so it's a phone issue.
I am with Android Power... Except, get a nexus prime not shatter glass iPhone 4s.
ok cool.... Thanks Hax. Where can I read up on the known issue? Nevermind I found everything i needed... on a side note I took the phone into verizon on my lunch break and they confirmed the battery was toast.... so they gave me a brand new one. By the time I got back to work the new battery was toast as well! So I guess something got cooked in the phone. i'll be going back to the store after work to exchange the phone. Im not going to be able to remove CWM or go back to stock since it wont boot.... but they shouldnt care either since they wont be able to boot it as well.

My friend sent me his G1 for free so that I could have something better than my HTC Titan. I really like it a lot, but the battery runs out too quickly.
The thing about this is that my friend was using it just fine literally a few days ago, before he sent it to me. He took the battery out before he sent it to me and it was maybe around half charged when I put it back in, if that helps.
I've tried letting it run out and having it shut itself off and recharging it until it said Full. Before that it wouldn't get past 99%, so I guess it's an improvement.
I'm recharging it right now, and I'm going to follow the instructions on the wiki for recalibrating the battery. That's the only thing I can think of as being wrong with it, because it couldn't have just broken over the three days it took to get here for no reason.
Okay, now it's stuck at 99% again. I don't know what to do right now, should I just go through with the calibration?
I got it to show that it's fully charged. I downloaded the ADB thing and I tried to run the command in the wiki for resetting the battery stats, but I always got an error saying it couldn't remove the file because it wasn't there. Sure enough I looked at the directory and nothing like that exists.
What do I do? I don't want to be stuck with a 1 hour battery for the next two years.
I am not going to give up on this one. Someone please help.
Some more info:
Running Cyanogen 5.0.8
Amon Ra's latest Recovery
In Spare Parts > Battery History:
Other Usage + Since Last Unplugged -
Running (25.2%) (Red bar)
Screen on (14.7%) (Red bar)
I heard the red bars have something to do with it. I really don't want to walk around with a dead phone all the time. It literally runs out while I'm sleeping on idle mode with the screen off.
I need your help.
Edit: By the way, I just recalibrated my battery (Charge to full and then wipe battery stats in recovery mode) and it's still running out too quickly on idle. Am I supposed to see the difference after it runs out and I recharge it or something? What's going on? Keep in mind that it was just working fine a few days ago and it would have continued if my friend hadn't sent it to me. I think it has something to do with the battery being taken out for a few days.
Hi,
I have now had 2 occasions where my LG OX2 were automatically shut!!
I took it of the charger this morning, screen brightened, all normal. After 5 min. when I needed it, the phone was off. Later I had one more like this. Got to work and after some hours it was off when I needed it! I really don't get it. Battery was full.
I am on 2.2.2, rootet.
Has anyone had same experince??
I had that issue aswell.
Had that aswell yesterday morning, had to take the batteri out and put it back in, to get it back on
Same here.
Hi guys. Thanks for your answers. This is indeed very strange. This could be something that I will not accept for a smartphone this price. I will contact LG.
Are yours also rootet and have you removed anything?
Cheers.
Rooted. Not removed anything at all.
You mentioned that you have rooted the phone, did you freeze any applications?
Same here.
Only happened once and it was plugged into a charger (and would have been at 100%).
Battery pull was the only thing that worked.
I'll add this thread to the bugs thread.
Have not happend to me yet. I have used it for 1 day now. And 3 charges. No problems.
Rooted and deleted some apps.

Nope.

So it seems to happens just on the rooted phones. Maybe the root its not stable yet?
No, i have not yet roted and i had the same problem yesterday. Nothing so far today though.
Optimus S ... same problem!
It seems like Optimus S have the same problem

Mine is not rooted, I had around 54% battery when I left work. Phone rebooted two times during the 15min walk home, once during a call and once when all I was doing was swiping around the homescreens... :/
My o2x rebooted once today, with 50% battery left.. Edit: Mine is also rooted and I have frozen the car home app.
This is very distressing. Being that this problem affects the 2x, rooted or not, then it is def. a hardware issue. Possibly solely a battery issue, or the design to which where the battery is housed (connectors), or simply power hit/miss circuitry design. My advice is, if it occurs enough not to annoy you (meaning, you don't want to deal w/ a return/exchange & don't mind the re-booting) then keep it. I believe that no software patch can fix this & for such an expensive device, I would return it for a fresh unit.

I did withnis this twice yesterday.
The phone doesn't shut down. It is a huge lag.
It happend the 3th time. I didn't pull out the battery, after 20sec that I pressed the power button for the screen to light up, the screen showed.
So it is lagg.
Not rooted. And to make it clear i'm talking about the phone screen not turning on, so you have to pull out battery and power it on again. No reboot.
What?! 20s lag? I was looking forward for quick device since I switch my Rhodium for LGO2X. I hope that this would be fixed soon by LG...
How odd. I haven't experienced this at all, and i've rooted mine and removed apps like F-Secure from my phone (By renaming them, don't worry.)
I guess a good way to find out if it's lag is to see if adb is still working.
Had it yesterday myself, once during charging. Then the powerbutton did work. Hour later I had to pull the battery. Wanted to advanced but forgot to leave USB debugging on. Had it so far only with my replaced unit. The first few days with the original unit didn't show signs of this...
Have to say my first unit wasn't rooted until the day they swapped it. The one I have now has been rooted since day one.

So earlier today my phone went from 90% to 15% charge instantly. I went to the Verizon store to see about a battery, obvious possible issue. They wanted to reset my phone to factory default but being rooted and on a custom rom, this would not work. Made some excuse about not loosing all my data, grabbed the phone and back to the office.
Imaged the system back to LG stock with root and removed CWM and all the sudden everything works fine. Its current at 65% charge. Before it would not charge over 15%.
Just thought I would share. Anyone else have an issue like this? It was completely random. Phone has been fine on revolt 1.0 for since it released, before that decrapped 1.0. odd that switching back made it work. The guy at verizon said that factory resets will often fix this issue...
H.
I had something like that happen, but my phone was running hot as well. It happened following a spontaneous reboot, the battery never able to charge as fast as it was discharging . I didn't get as far as you to test stock again for other reasons. Here was my thread as I tried to figure it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216468
Well it is working fine now however I forgot to disable updating and it updated last night and I lost root...

off and on. I am an IT guy so I am in and out of my office.
Welp it has happened again...
I am rooted on decrap 1.0 with CWM. Today it has run completely dead in under 5 hours with no usage. I am trying to charge it enough to get in so I can remove CWM before I take it to Verizon as the first thing they will want to do is factory reset it, only need 5 min so I can run revotoolkit.
This is the suck. While I like the phone I am also really starting to regret this phone.
Oddly enough it is charging normally. This battery sudden drain is weird.
I understand your frustration.....mine behaves that way occasionally too. Plus the spontaneous reboots are becoming more frequent as well
[I'm Revolting -- are you? Beamed directly into your brain by Revolt 1.3]
Diddo last week. So Squigs, suggested a data wipe. So I did it and flashed revolt. Well setting up the LG/Verizon stuff was a no go, so I went homeless. I did my initial set up, and then pushed the Revolt. I have been running golden now. I just wonder if there is a way to run 2 roms at the same time, or a double rom. Because my battery life was 4 hours before I did a system wipe, this info was via my battery widget, but when I wiped everything, I have 15 hours when I start my day. I had calibrated my battery prior to all of this as well.
That is the odd part about it, it works fine for a week or so then bam, the battery goes wonky... Then returns to normal, it seems after a battery pull.
That's no good. Sorry to hear it happened again. Running Decrap 1.1 and I haven't had it happen again yet *knock on wood*
I need to find what is eating up the resources. The phone says the android OS is eating over 64% of the battery and the phone is not being used.
Android OS on my phone generally uses close to 80 or 90% on my phone. With that I still got 12 hours yesterday on the stock battery before I was at 3% battery and plugged in. Try a data reset if you already haven't and if that doesn't work I would say you need either a new phone or battery.
My phone has done this multiple times. Once in a while ill get a text. It'll vibrate for 2 minutes with the screen off. Then reboot with 40% less battery

So I ran it dead, charged to 100% and while still on charge ran a battery calibration app (as the app instructed) and I am back again getting 20+ hours on really light usage, 6 - 8 on moderate usage. This is weird. I have 2 upgrades on my other lines, I am really thinking about getting a bionic, reports are it gets exceptional battery life and then selling the revo.
Sigh... while not eating as bad it is still ripping through. I got 1 good day and now it is back. It has been off charger for just over and hour, no usage, and it is down 6% already. Frustrating.
recently experienced the same issue. had a random 2-3 day spurt where the battery was dead by noon.....then all of a sudden, it returned to normal. never did figure out why.
recently received a new phone (but same battery)....installed Home-Less....currently experiencing much better battery life.
from previous posts, sounds like you bought thru verizon......if not, and you bought thru best buy.....i think they will order you a new battery pretty much no questions asked.
After I got my replacement phone about a week ago, I downgraded, rooted, ran homeless battery was doing ok....well, just yesterday my battery when to crap again...just an hour and down to 70....i really wish I could figure out wtf...

I have reverted to stock rom with root. I am using Titanium Backup to freeze the bloatware to see if it has something to do with the modified ROMs. Crossing my fingers.
from my experience, the custom ROM actually helped my battery issues. my problems were encountered when i was un-rooted. what kills my battery the most is the fact that i work on the fringe of both 3g and 4g....causing the phone to constantly cycle between 3g/4g/1x. when i'm on straight 4g, i can last all day without a problem.
i'd be interested in hearing your results.
Anyone else having extreme battery drain issues?
Just started out of nowhere. I woke up, checked my phone as usual.. it was cool when I picked it up, but after 5 minutes on it, it started getting hot.
Battery is draining 20-30 in 15 minutes.. I've wiped the phone and installed a fresh ROM, both AOSP, and Sense-based. If I take it off the charger it will drain and die. I've had this happen to a previous HTC One.
Does anyone have any ideas?
It doesn't make much sense to me.. if I wipe the phone, and all it has is a bootloader and recovery, what could the problem be? I wipe the phone and turn it off, and it still gets hotter and hotter. I'm barely keeping it alive on the charger.. I can manage flashing a ROM, et.c. but if I leave anywhere with my phone and use it.. it will be dead in an hour I feel. Then it will be a brick.
Anyone?
I've tried the PWR Volume +/- too..

Batterycell problem, assuming you've always used the original charger that came with the phone?
Anyways it sounds like a warranty issue. I would return the software to stock and deliver it back saying it's always been like this. You should get a new.
Whatever you do, turn it off at night. Assuming the cells are unstable, it may actually overheat and explode. I wouldn't want to be asleep at that time if I were you...

Ugh.. this is already my 4th One in 3 months. Tired of this problem.
I'm probably going to request a different model of phone. Too many problems here.
Thanks...
Feel for you bro... I've fortunately never had any problems with mine, nor have my friends with their One's.
Well, sounds pretty bad, sorry for you
But i would sent it back (again) and make some pressure and tell them you want a fully functionally phone already! I dont know what i would do, i'm fine with mine ('knocking on the table*) but if had such issues and already had THREE phones because of issues i would go enrage lol.
Have had issues with a new laptop the first one had heating problems with graphic processor, so i sent it back, made some pressure and got a new one which is fine now
What i will say, always make a little pressure and don't say "okay" to everything you will get
hi guys - i posted a pic when using the htc battery test set up in the htc..HERE..from what i understand from the test it shout only drain by about 30%...mine was down by 51%...i factory reset my phone as i thought an app might be causing the battery drain..the only app i had installed after a factory reet was the "gsm battery monitor"..my phone was 100% charged at 9.30 am...by 5 pm it was down to 43% with very little use to be honest, the odd phone call, the odd email check,......anyway just now i decided to take a picture with the flash of an item ii want to sell on ebay...the battery was at 43%.....i took the photo flash came on and the phone just suddenly went dead ...i had to hold the power button down and keep it down till it switched back on..after booting back up, battery level was 6% and in the red with low warning message. i lookes at the gsm battery stats, and it showed apps was using 76% of the battery, what app ?..the only app i had was the actual gsm battery monitor app....so i delted it...shortely after it died, hence its back on charge now...any ideas what could be wrong ?..my phone is around 15 months old i paid nearly £500 forit whenit was released, its been repaired twice by HTC, once the camera had black bits in it and the second time the sound went really low out of the speakers after an official htc update....now its done this thing with the flash about 2 or 3 time before, so im thinking somethings not roight , will htc fix it for me ?..ta

looks like a defective battery. HTC will change it if your are still on warranty. If not, they can replace it but it will probably cost something.... Better to ask themé
yes i still have warranty untill june 2015, mind you its been repaired twice already , onve for the camera unit , i kept getting a black spot in every picture i took and then the sound from the speakers died after an official htc update...ill phone htc on...monday, just to be sure i did the battery test again..reset phone to factory settings...i had absolutely nothing installed ran the battery test fully charged at 100%..after an hour of the test it went down to 45% remaining..

im hoping htc sort this out as its still under warranty, but ive got a sneaky feeling they are going to say that the battery is comes under consumables which is not warrantied....they probably say ive charged it so many times..that its not holding the charge anymore, ie wear and tear..and to think i paid £500 for this phone about 14 months ago,...will reply back tommorrow and report what htc say..
