hi
I've got a strange problem with my TG01. Yesterday the phone worked normally. Overnight the battery got empty and the phone turned off. Today I noticed this and connected the phone to the charger. Now the strange thing is, the red LED (indicates loading of the battery) is on, but after a few seconds it turns of for a few seconds and turns on again. I can notice no "rhythm" in it. What could that be? Btw. The phone isn''t starting up (I alreadey pushed the power button for atleast 10 seconds.
ROM: MiROM 12 GER (worked fine for a few days)

I had something similar when I discharged battery too much ( during certain experiments ). If You have opportunity to charge battery a little bit in other place , not tg01, do it, put battery again in tg01 and check charging again. This time charging ( red LED still on ) should be stable.

any method for charging externally??
thanks for your reply. do you know a method for charging externally?? (I do nat have an other TG01). Or should it also load with the blinking red led??

In my case it fixed itself relatively quickly. Few times I was removing charger from power outlet, puting it again, watching if red led is stable and if not repeating procedure but... I am not sure 100% it was exactly this way .It does not have to be in Your case.
It is not difficult to charge such battery externally because it is rather simple battery. You have +, temp and - pads. You need simply utilize only + and - and ensure from any external charger max current about 0.5A and max voltage 4.2V ( absolutely max 4.25V ).

ok i will try this.
i had the same problem when i used aragorn's rom. what i did was some spare cables isolating tape and conected it to 9v battery charger (no kidding). for the first time i was checking it every 30min or so but later i left it overnight and in the morning everything was fine. Battery was charged in around 40% and i put this on charge.
Try flashing back to the stock tom,hr, flash custom rom,hr, hopefully problems solved,i have had to do this and it usually solved my problems
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
fixed it
ok, my toshi works again.
Charged it externally with an adjustable dc power source. ( Hoping that nothing blows up was my main concern with my setup)
It looked rather scary, but worked. (battery up to 80% in half an hour (with 4.2V and 0.55 mA)

HI,
I purchased Touch Dual from UK as SIM FREE unit last year. Couple of days back i checked the HTC web site and saw the WM 6.1 upgrade from HTC available there; So yesterday i downloaded that file i.e. " RUU_Nike_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.1_Radio_NikeMR_1.65.28.25_signed_Ship " and upgrade the device.
At the time of running the RUU the unit battery level was 70% and after the upgrade the battery was almost 55%. So i kept using the device and that was perfect. Anyhow i forgot to recharge the device and next morning i realised that Unit went off somewhere during the night. So i simply attach the charger cable with device but immedately i realised that the usual orange light hasn't turned on and after a while the red colour light shows up instaed of orange. Upon seening this i try to turn on the device and its turned on BUT went into AEROPLANE MODE automatically and stays there. And above all the BATTERY ALWAYS SHOWING THE CHARGE LEVEL IS 0% besides the fact that unit is continiously charging from the last 24 hours....
And if i remove the charger the becomes dead..
Any suggestion would highly appreciated.
This can mean two things:
1. Your battery is broken
2. Your charger doesn't work well (I had this with a blackberry charger I borrowed from someone)
The second is the easiest to check if you charge it with a usb cable instead of the charger you can see if it works or with another charger of course. It switches to airplane mode when the battery level is to low so don't worry about that. The led is red when it really has no battery level at all so also nothing to worry about
Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is solved ... Now i know that if battery went to ZERO level than one must remove the SIM and charge the unit.... for atleast the initial 10% charge level... after that insert the sim into unit...
Anyway Thanks again

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.
Hi to all
Hope that somebody will be able to help me. The battery on my Venue was completely drained last night during a phone call and the phone shut down. I connected the charger, waited for 30 minutes and tried switching it on, but all I got was the info on the screen is a pic of battery with 0% in it. I tried charging it overnight, connecting it to a computer, but nothing happened, each time I try to switch it on, I get that info (battery 0%).
The battery was ok, I was using it for two whole days before it drained so much that it shut down. I have no custom ROM installed, everything is completely from the factory. I tried taking the battery out, SIM card out, SD card out, no luck. Never had my battery completely drained before, so I can't say if this would happen before. Battery worked perfectly until now.
Found an info that it might be due to the battery protection circuit...? Unfortunately, can not take it/send it to Dell as I bought it in US, and I'm in Europe now. Any idea of what I could do? I would really appreciate it...
Thanx!
Ok, here I am, not to jinx it, but I think I resolved it. I tried switching on the phone again, but with no success. Then I tried entering the setup menu (or whatever it's called) by pressing 'volume down' key and on/off switch, in which I succeeded and saw the setup screen. I DID NOT TOUCH OR CHANGED ANYTHING, just left it like that, connected to the wall outlet charger for a few minutes. After the screen shut down on itself, I took out the battery (after unplugging it from the wall outlet) and put it back after a couple of minutes. Then I plugged the phone in the USB slot of my computer and left it like that for 15 minutes. I tried switching it on again and it worked - the battery was on 3% and the status was 'charging'. Now it's on 51% and 'charging'.
I hope that is the end of the problem, I will never let the battery drain out completely again. Just to be on the safe side, I ordered another battery from dell.com.
Hope this helps someone.
hi you, my V had that problem too, i shutdown phone, connect the adapter, icon battery show on the screen and wait 15 minutes then hold on power button, everything will be ok
i also had a problem charging with the wall adapter when i switched to custom rom (cm7) for 2 days but after 2 days it started charging from the wall adapter..
Thanks a lot people here
This helped me a lot
My dell was 0% when it switiched off automatically
I connected to wall charger in the night
Till morning it was 0%
I read above
But all I did was connected it to USB slot in PC
and left for 10 mins
Then started it
And it went on
No such problem has arised for me till now.

Though using data cable of dell for pc
Wall charger takes 2hrs max to charge the venue fully.
Hey guys,
I was about to repair my Z2 tablet because of a broken screen. I did the Power+Volup trickt to reboot the tablet, it went off but I could not start it up again. Battery was full at that time. As I removed the screen anyways, I could do some tests:
1) If charger inserted, nothing happens, no red light nothing. Also I measured the wattage of my charger and 0 Watts is shown, so tablet is not consuming any power
2) When removing battery from systemboard and connecting charger it consumes about 2 watts and red light blinks one time - however, still not able to turn it on.
Any idea what this could be? I have the feeling that the system board thinks the battery is dead, but it really is not. I also read the other threats about waiting for battery to be drained but I'm wondering whether there is another option ..
Thanks

have you tried holding down the reset button for about two minutes?
Thanks for your reply! I tried, but unfortunately nothing happens :\ I cannot image that I have broken the device by removing the screen. It was fully ok until I executed Power+Vol Up reset mechanism.
Guys,
just wanted to let you know that after 2d the device got back to life. Not startable at first, but when connecting charger it was charging again and after some time startable.. Still, cannot image that the battery got down so fast from nearly 100% to 0%
Anyways, thanks for your help.
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!
