so much times..in some batt apk is says battery status "unknown" in engineering mode dont detect charger but it it charge the battery.

It's not software related, so one of the following is your issue:
1. Bad battery.
2. Bad charger.
3. Bad cable.
4. Bad Streak.
My opinion? Most likely a bad battery, though right behind that could be a bad charging circuit, meaning you'd have to contact Dell for a replacement.

i change 3 battery, 2 charger. i guess its hardware problem. and i dont want to sent for warranty bcus here in cyprus they take 3-4 weeks to return . i wonder is thr anything i can do with charging circuit?

Unless you know where the circuit is and can test it, and unless you want to void the warranty, I would deal with not having the Streak for a month.

Yes this will help

thanx guys. I think its better to buy a new phone and thn send it for warrenty. Otherwise I dont have any option as I dont have any spare fone.

[Q] [SOLVED] Phone won't charge!?

My phone's not charging!!
It had 0% battery so it turned off. So I plug it into dock and it won't charge. I get a message saying:
'Modem Did Not Power Up (0)
Starting RSD Protocol support'
'Battery is too low to flash'
I then put it into my mains to charge and I get the same message!!
It's worth noting that I can still get into CWM and flash stuff. I tried to reflash ROM but no effect. I think my battery may have been miscalibrated so I have a bit of juice actually left.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Anything posted will be highly appreciated.
Plug it into the wall charger and walk away for a bit. I know its unnerving, but posting your problem in multiple threads won't get it fixed any faster.

Sorry for the multiple threads but I've tried that. Before it worked, but now, even that doesn't work!
Not sure if this will help but if you can get into CWM have you tried wiping battery stats, then leave it to charge switched off for a good half hour?
Also, might be a long shot but don't they say if a battery isn't going to be in use for a while put it in the fridge? Well I know this isn't the same situation for you but maybe put it in the fridge for an hour or two. Worth a try if you're totally desperate.
Hope this helps, I can imagine what you're going through. I've had a couple of near cardiac arrests when my battery got too low and it appeared not to charge again.
Good luck
Did your phone get wet? My girlfriends did.this and we left it off for a few days. it eventually.dried.out and came back to life

Nothing at all. It just powered off due to low battery and bam, can't charge.
I spoke to a Motorola agent via Live chat and he said that my handset is faulty. I may have to use my warranty to get a replacement, but will the fact that the bootloader is unlocked void it? Despite this being a hardware failure?

Not necessarily! Warning on unlock says "MAY void your warranty". Quit being a scaremonger. How many reports have you seen of people having problems with warranty because they unlocked the bootloader?

I had the same problem with an extended battery. One day it just shut off after a couple hours and wouldn't turn back on despite having a near full charge. I popped in my original OEM battery and it turned on and started charging. Don't know for certain but maybe sometimes batteries just die because they're faulty. Do you have a spare battery to try? Any friends with an atrix who could lend you a battery for a minute? I was running cm7 alpha when the battery died so maybe it was a bug that blew the battery or something?

My dad has Atrix and I gave that battery a try. No luck, same error.

No, my charge cycle ended and when I tried to charge it, I got the error.
Many people have been PM'ing me on how I fixed this issue.
I didn't. I had to replace it with a new one via warranty. I tried to hide the fact that I had unlocked my boot-loader by pretending that I didn't know what it was.
If they do ask about the bootloader, then you can say that this is a hardware issue, not software, so the fact that the bootloader is unlocked has nothing to do with the modem not powering up.
The first step I did was to have a live chat with one of the Motorola engineers on their website. Once they told me that there was nothing that could be done, I printed out the chat session and requested a replacement in my Orange store and the promptly replaced it.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, now I know what to do.
dont tell me ur phone just died just like that and not booting up. can u get to fastboot or recovery buy putting ur dad's charged battery too ?
need some help, have the same issue
i change between other atrix battery and the message continue to show.
still can access to recovery and fastboot.
is my firt time handling motorlas, but in Samsung's there a way to make a fresh install if something happens.
please need help

Battery Spoilt Or Device Damaged?

Hello I have no idea what is going on, the battery icon on the status bar just keep blinking NON STOP! I have done full wipe and install different roms a dozen times!. but that didn't stop the battery from blinking, I tried to pull out the battery and place it back, it stopped blinking for a few minutes then it start off blinking again.
Anyone have any idea if my device is damaged or it's due to a faulty battery? and what does blinking battery at the status bar indicates? does it mean faulty? why is it blinking?! god
What does the icon look like?
What shows when you power off and then connect the AC charger?
Might just be a bad battery, you can try going to a phone shop and ask them if they have a spare battery to try in your phone, sometimes they do and sometimes they are nice enough to let you try.

It means you are probably suffering the usb-plug-brick.
Enter *#*#4636#*#* tap battery info, anything suspicious?
Clean your USB port briefly and with care! Try to slightly push the connector back to the center.
Was your phone wet in the last days?
If all this does not help.. Buy a new USB connector board and replace it. It costs around 12 bucks on Ebay.
Does the issue disappear after the battery had lost some juice? (below 80% charge)
Goods luck!

Does it say battery disconnected? That's a problem with the actual battery.

I think you are right, i remember just a moment ago i kept hearing usb connected sound every 10 second. after that i do a full wipe. the sound went away, but my usb port respond very slowly, like after unplug my charger it still state there charging for about 10 second then stopped normally. but weird thing is, after taking out the battery and place it back.. the issue has been solved for awhile. do you think its any relate to the battery? or simply only the usb that is causing this issue?
does samsung warranty covers usb port?

This sounds like hardware failure. If the above two actions do not show signs of life, it sounds like a hard brick.
Pull battery and wait some hours. Then put battery back and try the above two things again, and anything else you can think of to try to get some signs of life. If not, then warranty repair or replacement is in order.
Edit: actually hardware failure could be battery failure. You need to eliminate that possibility before you send or take it in.

Hi Creepyncrawly,
thanks for your response..do u suggest getting a new battery? I have an external battery charger and the battery was in it all night.
also, would AT&T charge any bucks on replacements? I have purchased this phone from Best buy an year ago...so I guess I shall be going to them for replacement?

If you're under contract with AT&T, you have a one year warranty from them. Otherwise, the warranty falls back on Samsung. I don't know how Best Buy figures into the picture.
See if you can borrow a good battery to see if that is the problem, maybe from best buy, or an AT&T store, if they have one on hand.

I rarely use s3 while exams going on!!
last time I switched off it while it is on 4% or 5% of battery.. and thrown in to the bag

do I consider replacing battery?? if that's the case..it gave me an average battery life of day before.
I don't know what to do??:crying::crying:
someone please suggest me what to do
thanx in advance!!!

Hold on Vol-Down+Home+Power and see if you can boot into download mode.
If you do plug your phone and reflash stock firmware through Odin.

thank you!! it helped me to figureout something..but still confusing
I replaced a battery of another s3..
it worked..the best thing is my battery worked on another s3..
but my phone is not charging even after replacing battery..i thought charging pin of s3 is reason for all confusion..but if its the reason..when my battery is completely down(yesterday) I plugged in charger and it shown me some grey icon of charging(if charging pin is not working it will not show up)..and again confusion started..
iam currently in india..phone is rooted using android revolution hd rom..my warranty is not expired still..am I eligible for warranty??can I claim warranty?? I thought its not related to software issue..so comes under warranty.
ok even if it doesnot comes under warranty?? can I go for service center for repair..will they repair it(of course by taking some extra bucks)?
thanks again!!

bro i think your charger is the problem
Have you tried plugging it to a computer via USB cable? If that does not work then maybe buy a new battery. Cos there's a flaw in some Samsung batteries. They die completely if they reach 0%. Hope it helps. Good luck

I would bet the charger. My S3 always go to 0% before charging and never had a prob...
You should...
a) Flash latest software from Samsung through Odin for your country
b) Root it through chainfire's autoroot
c) Install and use Triangle Away to reset counter
d) Perform full unroot through supersu
e) Check if you have official status in download mode
Then you should use your warranty. Probably problem is in your USB cable or USB port in your device. I suggest firstly trying with other cable and if it doesn't help do as I told you above (if possible of course) and send it to warranty with a note "does not charge".
this happened to me and it was just the power button being stuck...I had the exact same issues.... I have 4 batteries so the issue was clearly not battery related. All i did was smack the phone around a bit and boots fine now.
mine just freeze in batery icon when i try to charge off.... but he charge normal on. anyone have that issue?

Yes, Sanosuke, i have the same problem. I think it happened after trying to use triangle away on my i9305T. When turned off, phone will charge, but frozen at the battery screen (at 0%, screen wont dime, nor change to the current battery levels).
Anyones know how to revert the changes made by triangle away?
Thanks!
I'm having the same issue installed Gummy ROM 4.4.4 everything is flawless except charging the device while powered off shows a grey battery with a frozen white circle
Ahm is the problem solved? Im experiencing the same..i cnant boot up and hen when i plug it on the charger gray battery with a circle inside is the only thing showing up.. i dont know if i can boot it up to download mode or etc.. can u rply here [email protected]
