It was unlocked and working perfect until the battery went completely dead and wasnt charged back up for a week. After pluging in the charger I was unable to do a complete charge as the pda keeps starting up. It runs for about a minute or two then restarts and boots back up, the cycle continues with no end. I got to work for about 10 ten minutes, the phone worked, the charger was active in the battery option menu, but then it started all over again. I've reflashed and changed roms. The amber charge light does appear. Also hard reset doesnt work. Please help, bought the phone used but only got to enjoy it for a day.!
It maybe the battery is banjaxed, I have seen similar behaviour with an ipaq and a defunct battery.
if not its board memory
if im right yourin big trouble u have to replace the whole main boards .. i hope im wrong it juist bthe battery.
good luck bro

I was flashing a new rom. And after it said 100% on the phone it turned black and never lit up again. I waited i didnt pull out the usb. 15 min later i checked it again still black. i pulled the usb out. hit the power button and nothing happend. i did a hard reset and still the phone wount power on. The phone's charging led light wount even come on when i plug it up. So i assume i have bricked me phone ?
I have HSPL3
miri19v
froyostone 3.1v
is there any way to bring it back to life or do i toss it in the trash?
thanks for the help
i have also tried to go into boot loader and NIL!
from your use of the word 'trash' can i assume you have a tmous hd2? if so, what did you flash? was it a non tmous stock rom (meaning a bad radio)?
(oh, first job tho, check for bent battery pins)
the pins are fine. yeah i was actually flashing a stock tmou rom.
got the full filename for the rom you downloaded please? (just checking you havent downloaded a t mobile rom that isnt tmous)
the reason im pushing that line of enquiry is that the symptoms you describe are consistent with either
wrong radio (from the wrong stock rom)
bent battery pin
over discharged battery
to test the over discharged battery you can take it out, plug usb in with wall charger, then put battery in. this lets it charge without trying to turn on the phone. the light may not come one for some time, so leave it a good hour or two.
Hey Sam,
I'm having this issue too. I am relatively positive it's from an over-discharged battery. The phone conked out a few nights ago, and later when trying to charge it I got nothing - until yanking the battery for a bit, plugging in the charger, then popping in the battery. Now, every time the battery drains I have to do this.
Is the battery "damaged" now, or do you have any suggestions to fix the prob? I see this posted a bit but no one has any solutions that I've found.
Thanks!
Ryan
well i know the principals of these batteries, but not really the mechanics, so yes id guess the battery is defective, (but it could be the phones internal battery control circuits too, again just guessing) but no i dont know if there is a cure, other than try another battery, and if it cures it, ok, but if not then it would be a warranty issue.
are you using android? cos from what ive read it discharges quickly under android or something? (never used it so cant tell)
Last night I was on my phone, enjoying my newly flashed MUII rom when suddenly my phone shut off. I was expecting this to happen since my battery was very low, but now my phone wont charge or turn back on. When I plug in the charger, it seems as if the power cycles from displaying the charging battery logo for one second, and then shutting of for 3 seconds, then repeat endlessly. I have had it plugged in for quite a while now, with no change. This is the battery that came with my phone.
Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it?
Any help is much appreciated.
I had this problem before too and didnt come back alive no matter what i did... as a last resort i popped the back cover off, took the battery off and let it chill for like 30 sec popped it back in and walla~ it worked, hopefully it works for you as well
I will give this a try. Thanks

Well it is no longer in it's endless loop. It seems like it might be charging now. thank you
I've had that happen with miui on my HTC g2. Not sure why it kept happening but taking the battery out and pressing the power button will discharge the remaining stored power on the device like a PC, (you may even see the screen flash slightly) and
you should be able to boot again immediately.
Note you can't have it plugged in when doing this

Thanks for your help. My phone is working just fine now.
Hello, i've a small Problem with my brand new Lumia 920...
yesterday i got it from postal service, after installing everything the battery got empty... ok no problem... pluged in the charger, i know from my HD7 that it could take a few minutes that the phones charges a bit before next boot...
but the lumia 920 didn't boot also not after about 1 hour on charger...
i just see the nokia messages then a small flicker line on the bottom of the screen and then it resets (i know it resets because the recognized devices, nokia bootloader and another one, by windows disapears)
and the "empty red" battery symbol apears with a charger sign when plugged in (whats normally be total normal) when trying to boot without charger then just the "empty red" battery symbol apears!!
when on charger, after the batterysymbol, i can see that the display isn't turning off, just showing black but has some light on it... definitly not that black when the phone is turned off completely...
yesterday i tried a few button combinations... plugin with volume down, shows a flash on the screen... after that the phones boots normally..
today i ran out again of battery, but now nothing helps...
anyone got this issue too?? any tip what i can try or do??
are you using the original charger?
The 920 needs high current charger in order to charge normally.
yeah i had this to about a week ago, just sit it on charge for a long long time with the stock charger. mine took probably 4-5 hours, then hit the on button and it came on (still saying it was flat, but turned on at least). havent had the issue since.
Edit: also, are you running stock rom? just wondering as im on flashed portico and i literally just saw another bloke with the portico update complaing of the same thing... which has me wondering if its firmware or something else..
Hello,
i guess i have the portico update allready...
my carrier released the phones 3 weeks ago...
i'm on 8.0.10211.204
1232.5951.1249.1002
i'm using of course the original charger that have come with the phone...
as it looks like it really takes many hours... so as yesterday on mine... i tried everthing... than i decided to let it alone... after watching TV the phone rings sometimes about a new message... !? wtf.... i will try next time when the battery rans out to just let it on the charger a few hours without trying to press some button combinations or disconnect and reconnect a few times ...
but i'm pretty sure this has something todo with that, that the screenlight is still on when on charger and this batterysymbol w charger icon apears or better said than disapears...
i thing the display still drains current and so the charge take longer to have the minium charge for boot... ?!
I have the same problem after I flashed it to portico
my phone still charging for 1 hour to start up & when it done the battery was 6%
ok, no i've changed my response, my phone went flat yesterday about 7am (perth time), its been on charge since, and no boot. (what am i up to? 27 hours?) ive tried different chargers (my Qi wireless charger, stock charger, random microusb charger), even tried different wall sockets. stressful....
Edit: sent back to nokia. apparently its bricked. also, holding the volume down button and plugging in the charger is meant to display an explanation mark while the phone is switched off. the person i spoke to at Nokia asked me to do this, but mine didnt display anything, thats when she decided it was bricked. i wonder if its anything to do with flashing the custom firmware... apart from this issue, the rom felt very stable.
My battery started to drain fast few days ago, i thought it was a software issue(some apps). Yesterday i put it on the charger, as i didnt put it, nothing happend, i thought my charger broke, i put it on PC, same, wont charge, now im thinking the connector broke, u put USB OTG memory stick and it reads it normally, so the port is working, tryed factory reset and reflashing offical stock rom, problem isnt solved, also when the phone is in download mode on charger or pc, and i take out the battery the phone stays on, it takes power directly from the charger(this is normal), witch i think confirms its a battery problem, not a phone. Now, anyone faced this problem also? Have expirience whit this, any advice what should i do (im gona try with new battery but its a weekend, no stores working). Any help, any chance its really a battery problem, not a phone?
EDIT: Also when the battery is in, phone off, put it on charger, the empty battery shows, the grey curcle arrow rolls (battery stats are read), then it shows the battery level for a second, and the circles bellow it instead of zooming in and out in movement, it stays at the first for a seccond and then the display turns off, nothing, no red light also.

Many Galaxy S3 have problems with the charging port and need repair maybe for 20 to 30 bucks.

I hope you are right, i had that problem before, and replaced it, after then im extremely careful and gentle, so i think there are very low chances that thats the problem, i will take it to service later today, its still under warranty
Its probably a faulty battery
I had a faulty cable and man it was horrible
I was on vacations so no shops around, the phone would constantly show charger connected/disconnected and would take ages to charge
Hey guys,
unfortunately my 3-year old Razr died the other day. Battery has been an issue for the past few months where I had the battery completely drained 2 times but always got the device back to work. This time it's different though.
I shut down the Phone at aprox. 20% Battery to safe it from low charge. I have NEVER flashed a custom rom, the phone is purely stock. The phone wouldn't turn on the next time i tried. Initially , I had zero reaction. Then, I got at least the white LED when charging with the original adapter. Let it charge a few days. The white light would turn off after a few hours but the phone is still dead.
I replaced the battery with another (new) EB20 but still nothing. I bought a wall charger (1A) and still nothing. I even tried direct charging the battery for a few hours and still no effect. Also, every combination of Power+Volume buttons didnt work.
So i bought a factory cable but still didnt get any reaction. When hooked up to a computer via USB i have a "connecting" and "disconnecting" sound. Once the device was detected as OMAP 3340 but couldnt install it. The problem is that I dont even get the phone into fastboot mode.
On my research, I found these posts:

I think this will be my last try and option, but i have no experience whatsoever with flashing and I find the description very hard to understand and follow. Is there maybe someone who can explain step by step what there is to install/do and in what order? This would be awesome.
Greets,
