I went away for xmass, and the last thing I did before leaving (this is stupid i know) was to upgrade my XDAII to 2003SE 2.02 rom.
I brought only my USB charge cable because i didnt want to carry too much.
Now, when I plugged it in to charge on my PC it said charging and the light came on as usual. However, it seems it wasnt charging. I left it overnight expecting to have a charged unit, only to find it completely dead the next day.
Now, when I plug it in, the charge light comes on RED for about 2 minutes, then the unit comes on from a hard reset and shows both charge levels at ZERO.
It stays on for about 10 minutes pretending to charge, but only the backup battery charges, the main one doesnt charge at all. Then it goes off totally and the light goes red again.
If I turn the unit off while it goes red straigh away and wont come back on.
After a few minutes it comes back on and pretends to charge again. The Backup battery reached "100 %" but the main battery will not charge. its still at 0% and wont charge.
Ive connected it to a 5v2amp psu as it requires but this was via a powered usb charger so using the same lead, not the official cradle.
Im worried there is something wrong but dont have access to the cradle.
Has anyone else ever had experiance of a total discharge state on an XDAII ?
UPDATE
I travelled 50 miles today to get to the nearest charge cradle for an XDA2, put my battery in and it charged fine. I put it back in the XDA and it worked. However, when I got home I plugged it into the USB charge lead, and it came on and said charging again, with the yellow light and all seemed well. I left if for a bit and the battery was then dead again with no charge and back to showing the red light. it wont come on at all now.
This is the same lead i used previously and the only change is the 2003SE rom, has anyone else had a problem charging after doing this rom upgrade? Can I revert back to 172 ? how? help please.
Please help. IM screwed unless I can find a solution, has anyone got any idea?
Dude, I have the same problem on my 1.72 version. I have (of course) dropped by xda2 several times on the floor, but it works charging from the cradle (which again has a adapter connected to it) but not from my brand new USB sync+Charge cable. I have also tried another cable and even on a different PC. Only thing that happens, is that it says it is charging, but nooooo... it's all flat after a little while. It's as if the cable uses my XDA power to change the PC instead of the other way around
It's funny. So now I have to drag that big-ass charger along with me to work every day instead of that neat little USB cable.
Life is unfair!
As for your problems, I can only say that you're not alone.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I havent ever dropped mine, ive taken good care of it, so I dont think that is the cause. It does sound like the same issue however, I dont have my cradle here to test it though, just a usb sync+charge cable.
Does it work with the charge adaptor and psu alone? I mean the little thing that goes on the end of the mains psu to connect directly to the XDA without the cradle. How about on the cradle without the PSU plugged in?
I think this may be a hardware fault that needs repair, so its off back to o2 for mine if it is, you may find they would repair yours too.
Anyone else got an idea?

With my charger alone, it charges perfectly. In the Cradle with the charger connected, it works too. I havn't tried to use the cradle alone using only the USB cable to the PC.
I think I might bring it to the repair-dudes when it's so trashed that it is not working at all Until then, i will keep on using it.
I have exactly the same problem. i am not sure if it was because of the upgrade, but this is what happened to me, I upgraded to 1.72wwe from the factory 1.66wwe and it was working fine when I noticed that sometimes when it was charging after pulling out the plug, the unit will display 0% charge from the external battery and then after plugging it again the power is at 100%, It happened twice and was ok again, I presumed it was just a glitch from the system and promptly dismissed it as such. After a week, it was hardresetting everytime i got it out of the plug. I brought it to the service center and they replaced the battery (it was under warranty) It was working fine then I upgraded to 2003se the unit was ok for about 3 days then i noticed that the unit was loosing charge and hardresetting everytime. I brought it to the service center again and they said they replaced the motherboard this time and was back to 1.66wwe. So far its ok and working fine.
left my O2 XDA charging all day and when i went to use it this evening it will turn on, but after approx 5 sec's it switches its self off! have tried to sync it with pc but closes connection once it powers off. ANY ONE got any idea,s
It could be the possibility that your battery is not holding the amperes (amp). try to charge the battery saperatelly on the cradle if you have got the battery slot on your cradle. Sad to say but there is also the possibilty that your PDA's charging circuit is gone.

Hi Sidd,
Yesterday i finally got around to trying what you said,& yes it worked on cradel so was able to make backup. Then tonight stranger still it has started to working a 100% again. So me keeping everything crossed that it keeps on working. Once again thanks for the help Daffydd
No problem mate GoodLuck

Had this today.. My middle battery contact was bent so i guess it wasn't contacting properely..
Took battery out, straightened pin and all is ok again....
Hope your is the same as it's easily sorted..
Yea, that basically means the phone can't charge. Be it because the battery has overheated, its a different battery, a contact is bent or dirty, or anything. It is related to not being able to charge the battery though.
i got this last night for the first time. my phone wasn't hot and never dropped or bumped. i just rebooted the phone and it didn't flash anymore...

oh! thats sound scary...
happened to me a few days ago i left it in my car for a bit it got hot so i figured thats what it was
battery got fried? or just dirty battery connection needs a contact cleaner?
This happened to me once, after "playing" a lot with Igo, the battery was extremly hot; so i cooled it down in the car putting my leo directly in front of the A/C exit, as it cooled down it stopped the blinking.
Had this happen to me a few days ago, noticed 2 things.
1) 2 pins on my battery connector were bent - attempted to realign them.
2) CPU was overheating while running multiple apps AND charging at the same time; seems to be a bad combo in the summertime...I could barely touch the back of my phone it was so hot.
I'd suggest that if you're running a lot of apps and/or charging the HD2 that you take off the silicone cover it came with (if you have it on). Even the fastest processor will get completely fried if it overheats, and I certainly don't see a fan running on the HD2
I've yet to have the LED flash at me again, but I can almost guarantee that these LEDs are flashing because of overheating or a bad connection.
Best of luck.

Same with my HD2. Had it twice this week running Navigon, Screen was set to bright, bluetooth on and phone was charging. Weather was hot, above 30 C and sun was shining from the rear directly to the PDA. And not to forget: My car is a convertible.. Phone was very hot and rebooted several times until I recognized the overheating. LED was flashing red and green. Does anybody know an app to control CPU temperatur or to 'underclock' CPU of the HD2?
I had the same issue today!
I believe it was because of the heat too.

Thanks great tool!
if you experience overheating, could you have a look here? I created a new thread to do some temperature monitoring:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=716288
I just had the same thing red green blinking. it was due to overheat. was sharing internet to my computer and it got very hot, now I put my phone top of antec twelve hundred's 20cm fan and it stopped blinking and got cool
And thank you for the answer why it was doing that because I got scared when it did that
I think it is battery issue, I experienced this once during USB connection with desktop(and several times with Touch Pro in car). These Li-Ion batteries have a circuit, which prevents charging when temperature rises above certain value. As mentioned in posts above, you can see this in summer, using navigation in car while plugged in to 12V. It is a normal operation of battery, preventing it from destruction from overheating. Simple solution is to have it cool down for a while.
Don't know how CPU usage relates with this(maybe the device takes more power from charger), but at least CPU generates also some temp, which warms the battery from outside...
I can always reproduce this error by uncharging the battery until the phone dies in android and then, start the phone and directly after that insert the charging cable.
I have no idea what this means but this is how I can reproduce it.
(If anyone wonders why I always uncharge it until it dies in android, it is because of some weird reason android doesn't show battery status correctly and dies around 10%)
Htc hd2 blinking red and green?
Hi everyone, a couple of this to possibly cloud the issue:
1/ I'd noticed bent connector pins quite soon after I'd received my HD2 - Figured they were supposed to be that way?!
2/ The LED/ Charging issue has, for me, started only recently. Even when the handset is cool (under 25c), no apps are running and the battery has 85% capacity remaining.
3/ Same issue on both of my batteries.
Stumped!
Even stranger......
If I remove the sim and charge while powered off - no problem. Turn it on? Flashing O&G LED again.

I just experienced the very same when my HD2 died while running Android:
I was checking the battery level - 13% - and suddenly the screen went black and I couldn't swich the device on again.
I plugged the cable in and it began to charge. I immediately switched the device on to see if it's ok and while booting and even inside WM the indicator was blinking orange and green until Android was running again - then it was only glowing orange and charging fine.
After 3(!) Hard resets the problem disappeared?
These were over a week so battery or software issue I can't say.
So I just woke up about 2 hours ago. Grabbed my phone off the charger.. checked news email etc. Then put the phone down and got ready for work. Went to get the phone about an hour later (1hr 10min) and my battery is at 8%.
Nothing is on.. I checked task killer and there was nothing crazy. Phone is not warm in any way.. I'm connected to WiFi.
It's totally throwing me. It's almost as if it wasn't charging last night.. but I would have noticed that when I took it off the charger as I have the battery widget on my home screen.

wall charger? or usb into a pc charger?
I've noticed sometimes on my older laptop when i hook it up, it doesn't get detected properly and never draws even the minimal +300mA from the usb...

wall charger, same one I use every night. I charged it back up, and now its acting normally, i think , somehow, it just didnt charge overnight.
hahaha, found the problem
I use a USB extension so that I can use my phone while in bed (the outlet is too far for the standard cable) and I guess it had pulled out slightly and not charging.
but it was still plugged in enough that it made a connection when i checked it a little later, indicating that it was charging.
At least it wasnt a real problem
I recently picked up this galaxy s6 edge from a friend that upgraded to a new phone. It won't turn on, neither to android recovery, nor to download mode nor the android. I charged it via wireless charging overnight and i tried for around an hour with a usb cable. What do i do?
same issue i am facing, i tried original charger, wireless charger and fast chargers from many different brands. but all failed. The device only gets warm/hot while charging and nothing happens. neither download mode nor recovery mode works. I am kind pf stuck without any solution, my device was used very rarely and its like an brand new device. Doesn't know what to do, if you find any solution then please let me know too. thanks in advance
Same problem. If I press power button very long, blue light comes on. Then it's stuck and stays like this until battery is flat. Battery charging is not possible: device heats up (tried USB and Qi), but battery doesn't take any charge.
So I opened the S6 and checked the battery directly. I can charge it directly with a lab power supply and when I plug it in and press power button, the blue notification light comes on again until battery is empty again. I can also see that only ICs get hot, but not the battery when plugging in USB.
So, it's definitely some hardware fault. I suspect power IC that is not able to power up the screen. But I don't know. I will investigate further but it looks difficult. However, I have seen many YouTube videos with same symptoms, but problem was always different than mine :/
Hi guys,
This thread is 2 months old, any of you managed to fix the problem?
I am having very similar problem. My phone was on a shelf for about a year and a half. Before now it was working perfectly. Now I can't charge it via USB or power adapter. When trying to power it up or get into download or recovery mode, nothing happens. Computer does not see it. Tried different cables, USB ports, power adapters..nothing.
The only thing that is happening to the phone is the battery logo appears when trying to charge it, though the green bar does not go over battery, only the empty grey battery with lightning icon in the middle. Also the screen does not go dark after a few seconds as it should and the red/blue LED does not turn on.
Is this the signal from the phone, that the battery is to deeply dischareged and cannot be charged again? I am googling all over the web and can't find anybody talking about what phone does in case of to low voltage on battery.
PS back does not seem to be bloated, USB port was working perfectly last time used
Please try to help, you are my last stop before opening the phone and start probing the poop out of motherboard to see what gave.
EDIT: something interesting happened just about an hour after my post. The battery suddenly started showing % of charge and the green bar started running, computer recognized the phone.. as everything should be.
My FIX: leave the phone pluged in and charging for about 3days and it will start working again.
My semi professional explenation of fix and problem: the phone has a ''backup or reserve'' battery. It is actually main battery but the last I think I read somewhere it is 20% of capacity, is reserved for phone exclusively for the clock and all other electronics that need power when switched off. Now these 20% probably were discharged due to laying around for almost 2 years.
It took me 3 days of charging to fill up these ''20%'' I guess. Probably because Lithium batteries are charged VERY slow at very start and end. This is safty procedure for ALL Li batteries.
If any expert can confirm my conclusion please do so, to help other people.
To answer partialy to my question: The phone tells you battery is ''deep'' discharged when you only see the charge icon without the green bar.
In the mean time I was writing this edit I came up to 4% battery and turned it on!
