I was wondering if my phone is bricked. I installed Cyanogenmod nightly 17 after using all the previous nightlies without any mishaps, and it drained my battery to 0% and my phone died. Now when I am plugging it in to try and charge it, the phone won't turn on anymore. I have left it in the charger for about 2 hours already, and still no luck with with powering on the phone.
I have tried to make it to go into download mode by pressing the power and the up + down buttons. Nothing
I also tried doing that without the battery. It would just flash the screen then turn off then flash the screen again in a cycle.
Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to boot my phone up again.
Let it charge overnight and hope for the best.
It'd be very unlikely it's bricked. Possible, but unlikely. A number of not likely things would need to take place all around the same time.

So you would suggest leaving the battery in and charge overnight? because right now if I am doing that, the phone heats up
Some have reported it getting pretty hot while charging. Not that common, but does happen. Some have left the battery case off and pointed a fan at it.
You can also plug it into a computer. Usb ports charge at a lower power and shouldn't cause as much of a heat up.
Just make sure it doesn't get too hot. The phone likely won't get damaged but the battery can die at temperatures over 50 degrees celcius.

Take battery out and place it in freezer to cool off, phone too. Take out the freezer and put battery back in. Reboot. Should come right back on.

No problem. Your phone just over heated while shutting down. Happened to me before.

Hey guys I'm getting some really slow battery charge over here. I've had my phone plugged in the OEM ac charger for over 3h now and it went from 5% to 50% and the phone is getting hot also. I haven't touched it at all for those 3h and data is off so no internet. I don't get it. It's usually fairly quick maybe 1 to 100 for about 2h.
Edit: I'm running capcomalpha with fraux kernel and stock battery.

The following suggestion may be of no help in your case, but I've experienced something like this as well, mainly with CWM that doesn't support off-charging. The phone will look like its charging but is actually drawing just enough energy to keep the phone alive. Also, the charging light will turn off after 15 mins or so. One way to ensure that your phone is getting charged adequately is to check the screen; if you see an ultra-dim screenshot of CWM then you'll have to periodically remove the charger and reinsert it "restart" the charge. Then try to boot into android to complete the charge.
The phone is on I rebooted it and it jumped from 55% to 68%

buy a new battery and wall charger so you can charge the battery outside the phone.

You bumped a thread that was still on the first page after only 7 1/2 hours? Please don't do that again, not that I agree with bumping threads, but it is for when something needs brought back to the first page, not while it is on the first page.
do your have a case on? the trapped heat is cause the phone to slow down charging. it is a safety feature. off the case and flip over when charging. it should charge faster.

The phone has no case and was on the table so i guess there was nothing to make it overheat. Sorry for the bad bump i guess i was just desperate.

What version of Recovery are you on and as you said your using faux kernel. Try to revert to stock recovery or stock kernel and see if there is a change or behavior of your phone. And try aand see if fastboot is check on your power under settings..
you said it was hot. maybe you have some app in background using cpu. hence power drain and overheating.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
Ok i swithed to stock kernel and its doing the same thing. I reflashed the rom and didnt install any apps to see if thats the case. I also noticed ita doing it only when the battery is low- 10% or less. Then the phone heats up and its barely charging. If its above 50% it charges fairly quckly and doesnt heat up. Ill see how stock kernel does tonight and report back.

Ok 2 days with stock kernel then a new battery then a new charger... 3h chRging and not even 10% of charge... Im cluless

Anyone else have this problem, where the phone will automatically shut off. When it does that, I enter bootloader, and it says battery is low, did a battery wipe in recovery, onto to see the battery, which was at 40%, now at 2%... Any reason why it's giving such a discrepancy....
Running Energy Rom with stock kernel.
Download "Battery Calibration" from market. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
Charge your phone until it says 100% and the light turns green. Unplug your phone. Plug it back in until the light turns green again. Open this app and calibrate your battery.
Should fix the issue

That is a nice trick, but won't fix incorrect battery readings.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4
funny thing, i tried that....
it likes to stick at 60% for like 7 hours, only to drop the ball and then show out of battery after it shuts down....
could always treat it like a laptop battery to calibrate it, Charge it fully, let it go dead and keep the battery dead for at least 6 hours. Charge it up and let it stay charged for several hours before unplugging it.
Or try and take the battery out, hold the power button for a few seconds, reinsert the battery and try again. These things sometimes help on laptops, figured it couldnt hurt here.
My solution is just keep it plugged in pretty much most of the time, and drain it weekly....
I regularly calibrate my battery weekly. Although, the recovery I use displays battery percentage and it's often different (more accurate) then what is displayed on my battery icon.

Hey
I have aproblem that is so strange!
For example when I turn off my mobile it restarts!
Even if I pull out the battery and put it in it just power on automatically! !
Sometimes if the phone successfully was turent off, when I press any button it indicates that it is charging!
And now the battery is full even though am using it for around 2hrs
So my question is: is it a phone hardware or battery issue?

as i said it just went away after a while i think the problem is being caused by overcharge, so when u keep charging it to 95% the voltages come back to normal.
In other words charge it till 95% for like 10 charges and it will be fixed.
Well gonna try and reply back thanks

Try letting it charge overnight, its never happened to me, but I recall someone explaining a similar scenario. Turned out to be some kind of deep sleep.
A long overnight charge apparently fixed it.....

Hello, I am having a problem with my note and it is scaring me. As soon as my note boots it is shutting off completely and restarting. I was just using it with fine last night. I had the uber kernel installed and oced to 1.9 cpu but it wasn't even that hot.. After thinking it was the Rom that was causing this I did a complete wipe and flashed the candykat Rom, upon boot when the cyogenmod log in screen appears it shut down and rebooted again.. twice. I'm hoping nothing is damaged internally. I am able to stay in the recovery just fine without any problems. Please help me.. And when I say shutdown I mean insta black screen and reboot..

Idk if I will do that lol. But now I think I know what the problem is. So yesterday I was using my note and it shut off. The battery was full and when it restarted the battery all the sudden dropped to 60%. It turned off again and went to 1%... I thought it was glitching when it said 1% but after amin it shutdown due to low battery. One thing I then tried was having my phone plugged in while using it and I played games, used my phony heavy and what do you know.. It didn't turn off. So I'm thinking I have a bad battery. PS: I took my note to a pawn shop and they said the battery was bloated. He said it wasn't supposed to spin while on a flat surface.. What do you think?
It seems while I'm playing a game the battery heats up and that causes shutdown cause I'm typing this and I don't have my charger plugged in and its fine..

Yes a bulging battery is a sign that it's bad. Batteries are cheap. Especially on eBay. I buy an extra battery and charging dock for all my devices. This way one is always fully charged, and I don't have to plug in the device unless I need Odin or to file transfer. I learned that lesson 2yrs ago when my usb charging port went bad.

No you won't see the power menu. It just keeps restarting. I don't think you'd even see your home screen because it restarts before the rom loads.

Well my phone shut off again when using another not as bad but still a bit puffed out note battery. I don't understand what's going on here...
