Hi,
While charging my X10, the red light is flashing every second or so, then eventually stops blinking.
The led that is blinking red is directly under the USB / charging port.
Also, when i try to power it on it give a little vibration and nothing happens?
Sometimes i get the triple flashing red light?
What does this all mean????
thanks,
Alex
I'm having the same problem, can someone please help...thanks!

it means that your battery is totally/completely empty.. plug in your charger and leave your phone for about 2 hours, it will be back to normal.. DO NOT TURN IT ON..DO NOT TOUCH IT... be patient and leave it as it is( charger plugged in) for 2 hrs..
HIT THANKS BUTTON IF HELPED..!!
Or to simplify, if thqt dpesnt work, u'll have to buy a new battery on ebay or something.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
problem solved
Long story short, it was both the phone and the battery. So I got a replacment of both.
Thank you everybody for all the support.
Alex
Do you mind going in to detail as to what exactly was wrong with your phone? I'm having the same problem, and I want to know what to get fixed.
Thanks
OMG my phone did this five minutes ago!! O_O i was so scared xDD
now it is charging the battery, i will never let the battery drain like that again
same thnig happened to my arc a few mins ago and now its charging ok
Old thread, I know. But I'd like to shed some more light on this particular problem.
No need to panic just yet. The battery might be just fine.
I had this problem myself recently, and on top of that that with brand new batteries.
After some investigation and troubleshooting, I figured out that many batteries does drain to a level very close to what is the lowest "safe" voltage for a lithium-polymer battery. Batteries are fine and within tolerances.
However, the X10i in my case, and other Xperia devices in other cases, are extremely fastidious about what is considered a safe "drained" level.
Just as mentioned earlier, one just need to leave it charging for an hour or two. It'll kick back into normal charging cycle.
But if one can't wait for this slow process, one can use an external battery charger for lithium-polymer batteries.
There are several universal lithium-polymer-chargers designed for cell/camera/pad/mp3 -batteries out there.
Even a good quality lithium-ion charger works fine with lithium-polymer batteries, as they're using the same charging voltages and timings.
The practical "difference" with polymer batteries is that they're slightly more sensitive to voltages and , thus I want to emphasise "Good quality lithium ion charger".
There is another, slightly more dangerous, trick:
...slightly more dangerous... dangerous... yes... that's right... dangerous.
Are you sure? Did you read the "dangerous" part above?

(I will not take any whatsoever responsibility if anyone choose to follow through with this trick)
Okay then... It's your pants...
Find a stable 5 volt DC supply, and make sure you know the + and - terminals on both the battery and the power supply. Any 5 volt USB power will do just fine.
First:
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SHORT CIRCUIT THE BATTERY, EVEN BRIEFLY. IT MIGHT GO *BOOM* AND YOUR FACE WILL MELT OFF.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Very well then, onwards:
Remove back cover on the phone and remove the battery.
Connect the ( + ) wire from the power supply to the ( + ) terminal on the battery. Hold it there.
Now, for about 10 seconds, connect the ( - )wire to the ( - ) terminal.
Once you counted 10 seconds, disconnect all wires from the battery and disconnect the power supply.
If the battery has become warm by this procedure, place it somewhere away from any flammable materials and let it cool down. The warmer the battery is, the greater is the risk for the battery to catch fire and/or explode.
Bath tube or the kitchen sink is a good place to let it cool down. No water thou.
Reinsert the cooled down battery into the device and connect the charger. Device should enter a normal charging cycle.
If the 5 steps above didn't kick it into life, repeat the steps in order. But do not try this for more than 2 -3 times. If it doesn't work after the third time, the battery is very likely dead and should be replaced. (...or you did something very wrong )
I have problem with charging Sony Ericsson xperia x10
Today I bought Sony Ericsson xperia x10 (white). I began to charge battery. After it is started charging, the lamp has begun lighting without blinking. On the screen the indicator [in black] goes to grow up (from left to right) but it is not still finishing during 8 hours. What does it mean? is it normal?
aww,.. same thing happened with me, right now.even i have plugged in charger too... do not know what to do :/

Its because battery drained completely . Thanks to Allah, now its up and start charging..
hope this helps
Having the same problem.
let your phone charge for a couple of hours as the slow flashing red light while charging means that your battery is completly dead.
then take off charge.
to reboot, first hold down the power button and whille holding it, press and hold down the volume up button until you feel 1 short sharp vibration. release both buttons and as soon as you do, it should reboot.
reboot wont work if you get to 3 vibrationsits which comes after the one short sharp vibation.
the reboot should turn your phone on using safe mode..... im still working on how to get it out of safe mode....
very important to remember to hold the power button first, and while holding it, press and hold down the volume up button.
dont press and hold down the power button and the volume up button simultaneously, the reboot wont work.

Hello,
a few days ago my HD2 just froze and I had to press the red restart button. I thought it was just a random freeze but my HD2 wouldn't start up anymore. So I pressed the reset button a few more times, tried taking the battery out several times and then eventually it would work again. I was able to start my HD2 and use it for 4-5 hours. Then I had the same situation occur again - it froze and didn't start up. I was able to start it once again but it froze after 20-30 mins this time. Now I can't seem to start it at all.
I've tried pressing the hang-up-button and the volume button at the same time, but it won't work.
When I plug my HD2 into the charger, the red light also doesn't come. It just stays dark.
If I try a hard-reset this message won't appear on my HD2:

It's possible that your battery has died. Do you know if it had any charge on it last time it worked?

I'm almost certain it did charge last time it worked.
Also, I was on vacation in a very hot place and my cellphone was in the car for some time. Is it possible that the high temperatures broke my battery?

oops... Sorry. May be the battery dead. Was it a original stock battery or some china made brand? If it is original one then you can go for warranty claim if your phone is under warranty. I don't think battery may dead so early but if it is not original (as some china made type) then we can expect that. Don't use those batteries as they hold the explosion risk too.
I use the original battery.

Does your Phone not respond in any way?
Have you tried this?:
Plug in Charger and then put the battery in, normally the phone turn on with this method.
Does that also not work?!
Take a Look if you charger and the cable is broken. Use another cable (if you have a Logitech Performance MX try the cable from this mouse).
Try to measure if the battery is dead. You can also use your tongue to test that.
ATTENTION: You should do that only on low voltage parts!!! Like batteries until 9V for e.g.. DO NOT LICK ON A ELECTRICAL OUTLET!!! You would be suprised, beleive me (no I don't try this )
Plug your USB Cable to a Computer if you are not sure if you charger works.
The HD2 vibrates -> TWO <- times before it starts.
One really light and short vibration and one you could not miss^^
Does you phone vibrate when you try to turn it on?
Okay, so I bought a new battery, but my HD2 still won't work.
It's absolutely the same problem.
wife had this problem too was solved when we noticed the pins inside the phone were bent for the battery. fixing them got rid of the problem.
no seems to have mentioned that yet so take a look, they wont be bent much but that is for us.

Same issue.

I'm like 90% sure my first battery was nearly fully charged and I assume the new one I bought usually should be fully charge too, right?
is the bottom of the back of the phone warm?
If it is then, i suspect that your motherboard is overheating.
Mine has frequent lock ups and sticking it in the fridge for 15mins (seriously) helps with the boot up.
Also install Battclock so you can see what the CPU % is, as mine would always lock up at 100%, perpetuating the overheating issue.
Let me know if the fridge helps your boot ups.
Mine will be going in for service soon, its only 6 months old.

OK,
Can you get into the tri colour screen?
i think at this point your goal is to get it working.
You may have to sacrifice your data on the hd2 though.
Pull out the SD card. then remove the battery.
Hold the vol button down and power on,
Try to get to the tri colour screen and tray to flash a new radio to it.
Failing that, perform a Task29, and try to boot.
10 mins in the fridge wont hurt it at all.
Try to boot.

It may be the battery. You can try to get a replacement on amazon for $9 or you could take the battery from your phone and put the 3 pin to your tip of your tong and see if it has any current. If it has current then ignore the steps below as it is your phone that has the problem If you have no warranty, or cash at the moment do the following.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! The only thing that can get damage is your battery.
Most likely your battery is dead, so plugging in a power supply to your phone won't do any good since the phone can't detect it if I'm right. But you try to can jump charge it giving it power to see if its the battery or your hd 2 that has the problem
If you are good with electronics and wires do the following in a safe environment. (Low Fire risk)
1.Take a spare wall adapter that came with a sell phone or mp3 player.
2.Look at the back make sure its rated no more than 5V
3.Cut the cable at the tip and expose the 2 wires inside they most likely will be red and black. RED = + Black = -
If both wires are black then look closely one of them should have a WHITE strip
The wire with the white stripe is the + and the other is the -
4.Make sure you cut the wire so the golden tips are exposed
make sure that they are neat and in place
5.Take the battery and notice on the back there are a + and a - take the wire and carefully match + with + and the - with - for 1min. It is very important that you do not make the wires touch because it will smoke
6.After 1 min remove the wires and put the battery in your HD 2. If it does not power on then your phone needs repair.
I wish you the best.

Are you saying that it wont turn on at all, nothing!
So you have tried holding the volume button up and down, and power on!
I install a wifi kill app.
It was apparently shutting down wifi? What wifi I have no idea. It was stuck and non responsive for around 4/5 minutes so I thought a battery pull and a restart would get me out of the app.
And now the phone will not respond to me pressing the power button?! Nor will it charge. It's not responsive to being plugged in.
Help...
First time anything like this has happened to me. I am stuck without a phone and worried. Any help is appreciated?! I best not have screwed up the device.
Its a GSM evo, had a high battery charge. Running a custom rom with s off.
Even plugging it in gives no response. :crying:
It has been charged all night. seemed to indicate it was full. This morning it was down to 80% and I left it on charge some more, now this.
I opened up my comand prompt then typed "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and I just get < waiting for device >
I've been through this thread and non of this helps. (link below)
=/
-------------------------------------------
My solution.
Button presses were having no effect I left my phone connected to the mains and re tried the buttons and adb commands with no luck.
Although my battery was reading at around or above 80% before the problems I was sure it wasn't the battery.
I couldn't see how it was appearing to be bricked and unresponsive. I installed an app, it hung and I pulled the battery. So I presumed something had gone wrong with the app.....
I took a chance that the battery had drained fully somehow and the ROM was somehow supplying some dodgy readings.
The battery and wire trick was what I tried. A jump start was needed.
I should have licked the battery first to feel for any charge. But it was the last thing I was thinking about. (I don't have a voltage tester any more around the house)
I set off for a 9 volt battery. Using my trusty tongue again the one in my alarm was out of juice. Thankfully I got a new one though which was laying around.
So if it wasn't going to work I knew this battery wasn't going to be part of a problem.
Striping metal food ties I connected positive to the one positive contact and used another metal strip to tap each of the three negatives, obviously connected to the negative of the battery.
I kept the touches quick barely a second and kept running through all three. Went well, there was no heat from the battery. I did that for about a minute.
Be careful, don't damage your battery! Do not blame anyone else if you do... Make sure not to have your connections touch one another or its game over too.
I used my trusty method of licking the phone battery and bam, it was charged and I knew about it!
Placed it into the phone. Took a bit of time to say my prayers.... Connected the USB and the computer acknowledged that it was working a red light flashed,
My prayers were answered! I powered on the phone and its back to normal.
Strangely telling me the battery is at around 75% plus ...

Tried this too. Even with volume combinations as suggested in other threads I have looked up. My battery appeared to be charged to at least 80%. I'm hoping its something that hasn't bricked my phone and there is a simple fix. Maybe the battery level has been wrong?
I've left it on charge for now and I will give the buttons another go. At the minute it doesn't appear to be charging.
Can the battery pull cause any damage?
*Anyone else having trouble check this thread ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408374 I've tried all these tips here and non are working for me so far. They keep mentioning cwm 5 may cause problems ? I think I was running it because when I s-offed it came with it. Not sure which version it was?
The battery pull wont do any damage but this doesnt sound too good. If you cant boot to recovery or the bootloader your pretty much screwed.
Does the led light up when you charge it? If so it may not be completely bricked. But we need to see if you can power it up at all.

No, no light so I was worried. Good news is it's not bricked. I have another problem though.... I will post back in a minute, I will post the fix that worked for me to the top of the thread.
My battery seems to indicate it has charge that's what it appears to be reading at once I booted the phone up I took that picture. But it indicates its been on a while? ? ?
And now ky battery is draining like crazy. Is it just a bad battery? Or one that needs calibration?
Seems strange as only people with a low battery come across this problem. What could have caused it. I'd rather not have it happen again.
Any clues?
Oh wow! Awesome man. My next round of questions were going to be if you had access to a different battery or a friends phone to test it before we claimed it as a brick. Huge props for going above and beyond. Now stay away from the app that caused it but it also couldve been the battery failing and its coincedence.
Was gonna order a wall charger and a spare battery. But would have had to wait until Tuesday with shipping.
Battery level seems a bit all over the place. Why is there a second gap ?

WOW where did you come up with using a battery to charge your phone?
My bet the battery needs to be trained again. Let it die then charge it back to full. The fact the battery failed like that might mean its still going bad so if it were me.. id get a new battery when you could. Trickle charging all the time probably isnt the best either but you do what you have to for a charge.
I just wanted to thank the OP (which I did using the button) for actually posting his solution so future searchers will not just come across the question.
Same thing is happening mine now. I can get into fastboot but from searching everywhere it seems the phone will not charge when its in fastboot. I may aswell go find a square battery somewhere around my house and give this a shot.
I found by searching that there is a fastboot charging script but that seems to be in the One X forum , I tried it anyways and my phone just keeps rebooting into fastboot. Im sickened because a girl I was with on friday night said to me on facebook that she sent me some good pictures but I cant get phone on to look at them ha ha . ill try whats in the first post here now and see how I go. Thanks.
Man my phone is old. Good to know this thread helped a few people.

Ok, so i had some errors with the ROM i was using, so i had to go and reinstall everything. I went to wipe the necessary things and recover to the the ROM i backed up. It was successful, but i didn't notice that my battery was at 55%, so i went back to recovery and restored some of my data and settings that i backed up, while it was recovering the data i fell a sleep accidentaly and left the phone working.. When i woke up the phone was shut down, couldn't power it back up, i inserted the recharger but the light only glowed once for approximately 3 seconds and no more. I left it recharging for the whole day, but when i came back same result. I think that i have might bricked it, but when i plug it into my pc it shows me that it's connected.
Could anyone be kind enough to suggest me what i should do? If you need any further information feel free to leave a reply

Try to enter fastboot (VolDown+Power)..If that doesn't work
1. Maybe it is problem with USB connector..In that case, take universal charger and charge your battery that way (charger is cca. 5$)..If that doesn't work
2. Check your battery voltage..If it is really low..less then 3.6 V (3.6 - 3.7 V is nominal value, 4.1 - 4.2 V is max - it depends on battery quality)..connect battery directly on 220V for a short time (couple of seconds) then check your voltage again..repeat that until it reaches somewhere between 3.7 V and 4.2 V..(if you don't have equipment, give it to someone who has) and then try to charge it via universal charger (This might help if it is REALLY DRAINED..and it can kill your battery)
3. If that doesn't work, take another battery, charge it via universal charger (or some other way) and try..
4. If nothing above works..take your phone and give it to service for examination..
Good luck..
Btw, this is standard voltage regulator (or something like that )

It was successful, but i didn't notice that my battery was at 55%, so i went back to recovery and restored some of my data and settings that i backed up, while it was recovering the data i fell a sleep accidentaly and left the phone working.. When i woke up the phone was shut down, couldn't power it back up, i inserted the recharger but the light only glowed once for approximately 3 seconds and no more. I left it recharging for the whole day, but when i came back same result. I think that i have might bricked it, but when i plug it into my pc it shows me that it's connected.
Could anyone be kind enough to suggest me what i should do? If you need any further information feel free to leave a reply

What recovery are you using? If you're using cwm that's probably your problem. PROleev was correct in suggesting that your battery is probably below the min threshold... however connecting a DC battery with electronics inside it to an AC power source is just asking for trouble...
What I would suggest is either charging the battery using an external charger or flashing either TWRP or 4EXT as they should both allow the phone to charge.
I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the "adb reboot bootloader" command can work even when battery is below the min threshold but I'm not 100% on that.

Thanks for the advice! Yes, i use cwm, going to try flashing the other recoveries and see the results.

If that doesn't work, pull the battery out and leave it out for a bit.
My battery did the same thing last night, I put it on the windowsill to cool down since it's about 4 degrees outside. Once it was cold, I put it in the phone and it charged normally; even booted normally.
Try that out.
220 volts, can I come to your funeral, Amps kill you anything over 8 milliamps will stop your heart :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Mate, I didn't tell him to use his body as a conductor xD. Beside, you know that voltage is not connected directly with "funeral" . Volts only push Amps through body, so you can touch 1.000.000 volts, but if there is no enough of Amps, it can't kill you. Anyway, don't touch electricity if you don't know what are you doing, because that one we use in our houses can cause a lot of damage, and death in some circumstances . Btw, 9V battery can cause death in slecific cases..

Yes, but people on xda are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, most household 220 vac is 30 amps which will kill you, like I said anything over 8 milliamps will stop your heart, I would never advise anyone to put voltage to a battery or anything for that matter

Unless you really don't like them and want to 'peacefully' see them go.
all jokes aside...
220v AC WILL turn the battery into toast in a matter of seconds, if even that.. household outlets are anywhere between 50 and 60 Hz depending on your location... This means that the current changes direction 50 or 60 times PER SECOND... there's a good reason why batteries have a side labeled + and one labeled - (it's because they're not meant to be swapped, which is exactly what AC does)... not to mention that the current intensity and voltage are several times what the battery is supposed to take...
Bottom line: suggesting to someone to connect a DC battery to an AC power source without having any clue what you're talking about is at best irresponsible if not idiotic...
Thanks to to everyone for their support, i managed to fix it thanks to dessolator666. It seems all i had to to is fastboot the phone through command promt and flash a different recovery than cwm.
Hey!
I had a PiPo M9 (WiFi) now for about 2-3 weeks and everything worked perfectly.
No problems with rooting and installing ROMS ( i fixed that 2-3 days after i bought it)
I was playing some angry birds yesterday, and all of sudden i had VERY low battery, i put it on charge even if i recently took it from it.
Then i noticed that the DC-connection in my tablet is "loose" , i needed to have the cable in a specific position for make it charge.
Battery was fully charged but it said i had about 16 minutes left, and in 1 minute it dropped to 43% and only had 2 minutes of the battery left...
I tried to calibrate the battery after it was fully charged (i let it charge for almost 10 hours) but there was no difference...
Anyways... i played some games later on and forgot about the position of the cable so the tablet died...It had a bootloop about 6 times and i was trying to put the cable correct for make it charge but i failed and the tablet died.
Now it doesnt react at all, and unfortunally i don't know what the EXACTLY position is for the cable so i have been trying around but without success...
When i am connecting the USB to the computer it doens't react either, and i tried to push in RESET while holding the other buttoms as well, without success...
I Don't know what to do , and i don't know what is wrong?
I opened up my tablet carefully to see if i could see the problem but it is hard to do anything without knowledge about it....
I know that it has something to do with the DC-connection but i can also imagine that it has something to do with the batteries..
If i need to change the batteries , what should i buy? And how should i do? I need a guide, walkthrough ,... i have been googling around , also on youtube, without any luck...
Anyone out there who can help me?

The red LED charging indicator should be lit when it's charging, so that should be your indicator if the cable is connected properly

.... But... That is weird...
If i am connecting the charger to the wall - it is glowing - before i am connecting the tablet.. so how should i know that it is actually charging correctly?
So, if i connect the charger to my tablet and it is NOT glowing , then wnat is wrong?
(In some positions it is not glowing...)
It is glowing however the tablet is connected or not... But how do i know it is charging?
I cannot turn it on, and the computer doesn't react either when connecting the USB.
Btw, the light on the tablet haven't been working for a few days either so i can not see fomr there...
Are you referring to the red LED on the charger itself? I was referring to red LED on the tablet. The red LED on the charger is always lit regardless of the status of the charge. The red LED on the tablet stays lit while it's charging and turn off when it's full (100%)
Yes, i am going after the charger and not the LED on the Tablet because the LED on the Tablet haven't been working the latest days...
It has been charging without the LED on, .. But now i can not see when it is charging while i am trying to move around the cable while being connected....
It seems like there's a problem in the battery circuitry or the battery itself. The red LED on the tablet should be lit while it's charging. Also when connecting the charger to the tablet while it's off, the screen should turn on for a few seconds, showing the Pipo logo and then the battery charging animation. Maybe you can also use this indication when trying to find the "correct" cable position.

Oh, how typicall..
But... How do i open up the tablet ? Is there a guide anywhere? And if i need to buy new batteries - which should i have?
And how to fix the battery circurity?
I've been trying with different positions and everything since it died, NOTHING is happening at all... No bootlogo, no batterylogo, no light... Nothing happens..
I am really appriciating your time, i feel really desperate hah
Well unfortunately, I don't have any idea how to open the tablet. Have you considered sending it for repair/replacement? The best pictures I can find regarding M9 disassembly is at http://blog.mcbub.com/index.php/all-tablet-pc/disassembly-review-of-pipo-m9-rk3188-quad-core-tablet-pc/, however no steps/guide on how to do it

Thanks!!!
No since i already opened it up i destroyed my warranty
It will cost so much.. so i rather have it as a project... But like i said... Guide/walkthrough would help SO much..
If you know ANYTHING or maybe check around it would be a BIG help..
A girl like me never gives up, but even if i am a geek and nerd when it comes to computer/phone/tablet... i need help on this one..
Jah those pictures isn't much for help, better than nothing ofc but i can not go from that! =/
I'm confused, so now you've already opened the tablet? Maybe you can check first why the cable connection feels loose. Other than that, I don't think there's much that can be done by a typical end users like us
Yes, i mentioned that in the first post as well.
I opened it up already but i cannot see or touch anything because it looks like i need to open up the part from the screen as well...
I dont dare to do firthermore without guide or walkthrough.. =/
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b3te9typrpamhdh/v8ad8clWis
I took some pictures of what i can see, but like i said - i don't dare to open up more than this without using a guide or walkthrough...
If you know more about it, please let me know!
I see nothing unusual with the DC port. Hopefully someone can guide you further with this

Well, since i haven't fully opened the tablet it is hard to se the connections on the other side, but indeed - it does look okey... It isn't moving either when i an connecting the cable... so either it is the batteries or the connection from the other side i guess..
I really hope someone can guide me through this, it is an interesting project while at the same time this tablet is my nr1 favorite at home atm haha
I've got the same problem. I don't want to open the tablet and break warranty. I think it's a problem with the dc connector.
I solded and fixed the DC-contact, it was loose, but there is a component missing and i am unsure what component it is, so i have a picture and hope someone can help me out....
I'm a little unsure of what component that is missing, but it is backside off the mainboard, just below the dc connection.

OK I am going nuts... I have two Pipo Max M9 Pro (s) and for the life of me I can't get my micro SD card to fit correctly in the TF slot. FIRST the slot is right on the top which seems dumb... An SD micro card should be somewhat recessed... And it just does not feel right.... Anyone cross this bridge with their Pipos....

I made a post here and one over on reddit about how I thought my quick wireless charger had fried my phone. In reality, my phone had just deep discharged and I didn't know what had happened. This is all coming from someone who uses 4s LiPo batteries every day. Anyways, last night my phone hit 0% without me noticing and would not take a charge. Even after leaving it on a cable charger all night I woke to a black screen and no boot. I've been researching the issue and it seems like the reports are pretty scattered among Note 8, S8+ and a handful of HTC U11 users. The prevailing method for recovering from it is "stack charging", aside from getting a replacement phone.
Stack charging is a method in which you plug your device into the charger, wait 5 seconds or so and then unplug for 30 seconds and rinse and repeat in what are called cycles. I saw a few people saying this worked for them but after doing it for over an hour my run was unsuccessful. As I was about to call AT&T and order my replacement I said to hell with it and put it on my wireless charger while it was connected (but not charging - that's the symptom) but nothing happened. I took the phone off the charging pad, unplugged the rapid charger cable, put it BACK ON the wireless charger and got nothing but the wireless charger pad lit up. I then plugged in the rapid charger cable while it was charging on the pad and almost immediately a Grey ring with a lightning bolt popped up. It was missing the percentage and the charging animation but it was a development in my case. I let it sit like that for around 10 minutes before it hit 1% and the animation started working. During that time both charging bricks were slightly warm to the touch so I think it was using both to charge, my theory is that the phone was dead enough to not have any kind of active charging management so it was allowing both to work until it hit 1%, which is where I removed it from the pad to charge normally.
So the order of operations here
Place phone on wireless charger - Confirm device is charging via led (mine is blue when charging on the convertible charger
Connect OEM rapid charger
Give it a minute or so.
At this point there should be a grey charging circle. When this changes to 1%, leave it there bit longer until 3% or so just to be safe and remove it from the wireless pad to switch to cable charging entirely.
If anyone can confirm that it was or was not using both charging methods at the same time, by all means please do as I'm genuinely interested in this. This could save people from having to send in their note8/s8+.
If this method DOES work for you, please comment with what you find, this may help a lot of people potentially.
Thanks!
how about plugging one charger in the phone and put phone on the charging mat that also has a charger?

I have had the deep discharge issue on several samsung phones All the way back to the S2 and galaxy stellar Where they would shut off at 0 % up to 10 or 15 and not do anything....I would in sense do the same with a cut off usb cable and jump start the battery, But of course This isnt quite as easy as a removable battery. But this similar method work on my kids tablet in same situation and a old S6 I had sittin here... So this is a good find as it seems to confirm more of what I have noticed over the years....Never thought of it as deep discharge.
Fantastic!!!!!!!!! This resolved the issue for me. Thank you so much for the weird resolution. I wonder what it is that makes it work. My theory is the charging pad gives the charge management firmware enough juice to think about what's coming in from USB. Normally the battery has enough juice to do this, but in our case, it did not. Seems a strange design to not allow USB to provide enough power to start the management firmware. My guess is it's related to safety and ensuring that anything that comes in over USB is clean reliable power.

Glad this worked for you!
Sorry if this is possibly off topic, I haven't been hit by this "bug" although I've gotten several kernel panics in instances batt goes down to >15pct in circumstances where I am not able to charge. Once I do get it plugged in during above mentioned instances, a few minutes will pass and the message that comes up is "charger is WDT expired". Now I've google that and I've only seen results directly related to OP's issue/fix. If any of you guys know anything about this, I'd really appreciate any info. Should note that I'm rooted and on U2 BL. Thanks guys.

Charging work-around worked!
Saboture: Worked great for me as well. Never had this issue with my Note 8 until an OTA (maybe brought out the bug)… but you saved me from sending back another device. I can live with this work-around on occasion until Samsung gets their act together and engineers a proper fix. Thanks much from another satisfied customer.
Sometimes heating lithium batteries will also kick start charging. I have had devices in the past that would not charge and heating them with a hair dryer helped. Then you have to do the plug unplug thing till the battery gets enough charge to continue charging. I have not done this on a cellphone though.
THANK YOU !!!! that worked... granted I didn't have a wireless charging pad and had to go buy one... but I found a cheap walmart one for $10 and it worked just as you said... now charging normally. I have insurance on my phone but would have had to pay $120 deductible and still making payments on the phone, only had it a year. (about 14 days past the 1 year mark of buying it) Thank you for figuring out that combo of jump start charging.. so awesome.
