This is a dumb question but...When I have my tablet plugged into a wall charger and run my finger across the back, it feels...weird. Like it's vibrating just a little bit. Is there something in my tablet dangerous or is this just a normal thing?
Uhmmmm. I don't have a prime yet but I'm like 294476263849463% sure that it shouldn't be vibrating when charging... if mine did that I'd be scared of it exploding haha

Is this a failed attempt at a troll, or are you being serious?
Yeah battery died. Ask for a razr replacement.
He took it back to verizon and they replaced the phone. Kinda weird that it just would not respond. I got it to start to boot but then it just turned off. After that nothing even after letting it charge for a couple hours it was just dead.

had that issue myself, battery dead after a week... another razr died after 2 weeks..
I know this is gonna seem lame, but I thought all micro USB cables are created equal, but they aren't. I was using my Skyrocket micro USB charger to charge the RAZR, and it wouldn't charge. When I plugged in the one that came with the RAZR, it charged right up. Not sure if you're using a different cable, but its worth a shot...

White light on
hi all.
I have a razr xt910 as well that wont turn on either. When I plug it in i get a white light at the top left of the screen.
did anyone else experience this?
The white light meens that it's pluged in via USB, but the battery is too low to boot. fix by pluging it in to the wall.
If you have droped data go here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520970
My wifes dis the same thing with the white light. Used the wallcharger and it booted up in 15
So I recently got my HTC amaze and love this phone. I have a strange issue though my charger that came with it, the wall plug, not the chord, hisses sometimes. I noticed it when my phone was fully charged plugged in and I was using it. Has this happened to anyone else. I know this can't be normal.

I can confirm this as well. My old Amaze and charger didn't have this issue. I have a new Amaze now (as of Wednesday thanks to a water puddle). The new charger frequently hisses when the phone is charging or at full. I've actually unplugged it becuase I feel like it can't be safe.
So my phone will not charge over 20% and its getting super hot... I'm talking melt the back hot... I took the otter off it because the plastic was starting to stick to the phone.
I don't know what happened.. the phone was fine when I woke up... after a few hours of light use i noticed it was really hot in my pocket... I took it out to find the battery was almost dead... and it was smoking hot. I shut it down and let it cool off. Now when I plug it in I got the "your phone is consuming more power than your charger can supply" message. Mind you this is the charger I always use and have never had this issue. Even after being plugged in for hours the phone will not charge over 20%... and again.. its getting super hot.
So this has to be a hardware problem right? I want to bring it into sprint but I'm afraid they will want to charge me 150 for a replacement. Should I go through HTC instead? If I do I am stock rooted... how can I get my phone back to normal so HTC can't tell?
Also I did not download any new apps or anything that would screw with my phone.

Question, are you using the charger that came with the phone? This phone, battery, appears to be very picky about chargers.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
No I'm using a palm charger.... could that really fry it? I doubt that's the issue.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Yes the palm charger very well may be your issue. Perform a factory reset and switch to the regular/stock charger to see if it will help.

I got a new nightstand lamp that has an A/C outlet built into it and a slot for my cell phone. Instead of having an extra foot of cord on my nightstand I figured I'd get a very short usb to micro usb cord. Instead of buying one I just assumed re-wire it to shorten it. Everything went ok after the first wiring and the charge was working but after moving it around a bit it stopped charging. My phone then did one hard reset then another and after the second one my phone would not turn on. When I first got the phone it did this when I used an auto-root program on the PC but after I played with sd card it finally booted back. This time I fear the worst. I believe I may have dangerously undervolted it but can't be sure. I'm either bricked or need to do an internal battery pull. Does anyone have any expertise where they could definitively say if I'm bricked or not? My led light isn't turning on at all, not even when plugged into power source.
EDIT : now I fear the worst. If I am s-off and I brick the phone is it a perma-brick. Really in need of someones expertise here.
Sounds to me like trying to save $3 killed your $500 phone..

I bet its bricked. There are a Bunch of similar threads.this phone is picky about the charger being used. I and many others bricked their phone by not using the original charger that came with the phone. I assume its toasting the battery. Sorry for the bad news

I really dont think undervolting it would brick it. I am no expert, I don't think that would do it in. Now on the other hand did you end up giving it 120 volts by plugging it straight into an outlet, I'm not positive but I think the power supplies that come with the phone use a transformer in them
to reduce line voltage. If thats the case you more then likely fried the battery. But like I said, not an expert.

Mine did it using a, charger that was only 750ma, stock charger is 1amp. It did a reboot and never came back on it was at 40 percent battery when i plugged it in. After that reboot no leds, just dead. Others have said the same thing. All i know is I'm sticking with a 1amps charger.

Looks like its time to get the RUU for Jewel, including the current OTA? Ur looking at a blank slate.

Have you tried a different cord and is it recognized by a computer?

Thanks for all the feedback it's good to feel I'm not alone in this. So to answer everyones questions simultaneously I did try everything in the book without the re-wired cord to get it to boot. I used a good cord in the PC and A/C, I tried lazypanda unbrick and the phone wasn't recognized at all by terminal in ubuntu. I tried holding the power button for 10s, 20s, 30s and 60s and not even a dim led was lit. I tried removing the sd card a couple times wouldnt power on with or without it. I opened the phone and did an internal battery disconnect and reconnect, nothing. On the other hand i bought a new one on ebay but a few of you have said here it was the battery that I fried which makes me wonder if I could buy a new one and possibly get this thing running and turn around and sell it on ebay to recoup the losses. I do firmly believe it must've been a surge because of the cord, but I thought the phone has a protection circuit and would shut down before any serious damage occurs but maybe thats only to the other hardware elements like the cpu and memory.
Been having this problem a while, the phone will charge just fine in the beginning but if I use my phone meanwhile it will stop charging it forcing me to re plug it in and then it will work just fine until the problem comes back again..
Did a lil research but nothing came up like my problem.
Does this interruption happen when transferring data between the PC and they phone too? Or only when charging?

No idea. PC got stolen and my dad's computer is real trashy so can't really count that in..
Try to clean USB port with small brush. Sometimes a bit of dirt can get stuck there. If not, change USB cable or charger
