The 4800mAh battery for the Dell Streak came with instructions that said to charge it to 100% and drain it, then repeat...It's drained, and will NOT turn on...It's been plugged in for over 3 hours. I can fast boot but I can't go into Clockwork... And when I just try to turn it on, I get a battery with a !...Can anyone help? =.=
i'm guessing you need to charge if for a while for your streak to even recognize one percent, also try removing battery from contacts.
It's obviously holding a charge, or I wouldn't be able to go into fastboot...Idk...I guess I'll just leave it on the charger for another couple hours. =.= My other battery works just fine with it, so...It's not the phone...
Plug it into ypur computer via USB, and let it charge that way for a few hours. At least that's what I read. I forget who figured that one out...

I need help with this NOW if anyone can. I figured I'd go ahead and make a thread for it so it would get seen. I was trying to update to 2.1 and something went wrong. Long story short the battery drained and now even when it's plugged into the wall all it does is flash its little red light. If I can get it to charge I think I can get things working again but as it stands I don't even know if it is charging. If I have it plugged into the wall and remove the battery the led turns green. If I put the batt back in afterwards it will go off after a bit and eventually "turn on" (in this case that just means that the screen comes on but is completely black but backlit) but there is no led indication at all so i don't know if it's charging or what. It doesn't seem to be. I really need help asap. Thanks in advance.
Silly question perhaps.. have you tried putting it into flash mode for SEUS (phone off hold back key, plug in USB cable)...?? does it register the phone?
Open pc companion hold back button and insert the micro Ian until it says stop it should then tell you your software is already the latest but if there's a problem you can use the repair option. Hth

Tried it just now, nothing.
My suggestion would be to plug it in for a few hours then try again. Or take battery out completely and try the back button without a battery. Might work. Might not. Sorry. Doubt the phone is bricked tho.

Just out of interest how long have you left it on the charge for? Because the red light flashes while charging until 10% and I remember once when my battery fully drained it did that for a few minutes until phone turned on again. Leave it for a while if you haven't done so.
The reason I ask is, incase you saw red light flashing and took it off charge straight away thinking its faulty? Like I said it sometimes takes a while to turn on fully when battery has died.
Edit: I know this is unhelpful, but that's why when you update via SEUS it says to ensure battery has 50%

I got he same problem 3 weeks ago. i could not get the phone to boot anymore even after trying all the unbrick method available here. so i sent it to sony ericsson service and they changed the motherboard.
okay, been charging for a while now and still have the red light. Pretty confident it isn't charging.
Plz try another usb cablr. I know about 20 people whoms usb cable accidently died and the phones cannot charge anymore ....

But the phone won't even boot. Will the battery charge while it's off? or when it's on a black screen? I know 2.1 lets it charge when it's off now, but the OP said the update screwed up.
Other suggestions that may take some time:
1. Find someone else who has an X10 and charge it in their phone.
2. Bring it to your phone provider and ask them to charge it.
3. Bring it to your phone provider and exchange the battery (temporarily?).
4. Buy an external wall charger (one that lets you charge the battery directly, not in the phone).
I ended up bypassing the phone and charging the battery directly via a macgyvered usb cable. Don't ask. lol. But I got it charged enough to use the se update tool and restore it back to the original rom. I'll try the update to 2.1 later after I get this thing charged all the way up. Thanks guys.
Hello...I just unlocked my bootloader and tried to CWM 2.3.4 using the new version of CWM by tenfar...I am stuck on the Motorola boot screen and my battery is too low to flash...I tried to pull the battery and put the phone on an ac charge but that did not work...any assistance is greatly appreciated
Hi,
Easiest solution is to get a universal charger from Radio Shack, $10.
Cheers!
Remove battery, put the phone in AC mode, then place battery in. It takes about 3-5 hrs to charge, then it should be okie. I met this problem too Solved that way!

. First off nice job digging up this dead corpse. Of course he found a solution. Know what it is? Dont use Tenfars recovery anymore because its completely outdated and will cause problems. As far as being able to charge yer phone are u trying to plug it in to a computer? Because if battery dies it wont work to plug it in to the comp.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
No solutions on here yet?
Well, this is what I did, not sure if it will completely work yet, but so far it's doing it's thing.
- I plugged the phone into the charger adapter
- Booted the phone without holding volume down
- let the phone charge itself
- monitor battery level with volume buttons
Once that was done I could continue, as phone does not charge during flashing.
Or am I way off here?

Everything was working fine...i know the battery is completely dead but like i said when i plug it in the charger the red light comes on for about 5 seconds then it goes off and wont come on again. He was gonna put a ROM on it and root it but i have to get it flashed to the metro network. He put it on mobilego i guess to backup my info but he had it on other programs, told me i needed it flashed first then gave it back to me.its been on the charger for about 2 hrs now and no charge still
Maybe he bricked it?

Did it boot yet? For me, if the battery dies, I have to pull it out, put it back and let it charge for at least 10 minutes before it starts up again.

Pull battery for a few put back in then charge it on a wall charger while its still off for 30mins...Mobilego is sync software so unless he actually went through the process of going into recovery etc etc then chances are its the battery

I would like to know if you can access recovery with the phone without a battery but with the charger on.
To access the boot menu, make sure the phone is off and press pwr + vol down. If you can access the recovery menu then there is still hope.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
press the camera button + power button.
Sounds like battery issues... The phone thinks the battery is dead... Pull the battery out and leave it for about 20 mins or so, throw it back in, don't power it up and plug it in, let it sit for awhile(red led should stay lit) after like 20 mins turn it on

Had the same issue try plugging it into the charger for a couple mins remove the battery replace the battery plug it back in and repeat 6-7 times then hold power and volume buttons. If not leave the battery out for like an hour then try the first step. I know it sounds stupid but it worked for me. Hope it helps.

Don't let your phone uncharged if you got 5% that's a warning sing you need to plug the charged the soon as possible i have so much problem with new photon because now. hopefully it save somebody time.
I have a rooted Photon that I let totally die one day by accident.
No problem - plugged in charger for awhile and it booted fine.

Has to be more to the story because many times mine has been drained to the point it shuts off and it's fine.
My first thought is something to do with if you've used the bootstrap recovery. That hijacks part of the boot process and wont allow the phone to be turned off and charge from a wall outlet but a USB outlet will work fine.
That's my 2 pennies ...

I remember readying something to where you have to jump start the phone. It had something to do with connecting to neg and pos on the battery posts on the phone. Try looking around for it. I too have drained my battery serveral times till it turns off and no problems.

i have had my mopho die quite a few times...alsmost every few days with no probs. not sure what happened with yours, but it is deff not and should not be an issue.
Yeah, I can't even count how many times I've used my phone till it turns off, and on a few occasions after having it turn off on its own I've turned it on again still without plugging in to try and kill it just a little more, for calibration ideas I had run across and was trying. Still wall charged and powered up without issue though.
Maybe you have a bad battery?

never happened to me, i've let it discharge completely quite a few times that has never happened?
So I've been running CM9 nightlies on my phone for a for a while now and everything has been working great. I believe the last nightly I flashed was 5/12 or around there and I've had no problems with it so far until last night my battery was about to die. So I plugged it in to my computer to charge overnight. This morning when I woke up I noticed the phone was dead and was pretty warm to the touch. Now it won't turn on.
I have tried pulling out the battery and letting them both sit for about 30min but it still won't turn on. When I put the battery in and try turning it on the charging icon pops up for a second or 2 then goes away and sometimes it will flash on and off. I think it could be the battery because if I take the battery out and try going in to download mode it will turn on to the initial warning screen warning about flashing and what not. If i put the battery in at this point it immediately shuts off. I just don't know how it could go from working fine to not working at all overnight.
Anyone have any suggestions? The phone is only about 4 months old.
Use your wall charger to charge it.

Every phone that I have ever owned with a USB port I have charged through the USB port from a computer, and I have never once had an issue. When I plugged it in the battery symbol changed to charging so I didn't think anything of it. When I woke up it was dead.

I'm thinking that's what I'm going to do. Might take it to Best Buy and see if they can check it since the phone is only 4 months old. Not holding my breath on that though.
Phone will not turn on with the battery in while plugged in to the wall charger. I can see the battery symbol with the little circle when I first plug it in but it goes away after a second or so. The only way I can get the phone to turn on is if I remove the battery, hold the volume buttons and plug the USB cable in while connected to a PC. This brings up the download mode warning screen asking to continue. If i put the battery in at this screen it shuts off. If I hit continue with the battery out if shuts off. I guess the only thing to do is try another battery.

Replace the battery.
welp apparently it fixed itself. I just left the battery in it and let it sit powered off for the rest of the work day and when I was leaving work ready to head to Best Buy just out of curiousity I plugged it into my car charger and it magically turned on. Now the wall charger and USB charging are working as well. No clue what that was all about but works for me. Thanks for the replies guys.
Bah same thing is happening to me with my sgs2. It just keeps showing the battery charging screen then going off. Any ideas?

Your battery should be dead. My dad had exactly the same experience as you did. Try calling att for a new battery if the phone still in warranty.
USB charging is just unreliable: different motherboards may even supply slightly different voltages. Although it doesn't make a difference in normal use, adding a near empty battery to the equation complicates things.
