I started having problem charging the phone a couple weeks ago. Sometimes it charges just fine, but then sometimes it wouldn't charge at all even if it's pluged in the whole night. The top half of the phone gets pretty warm if it's plugged in. So I plugged it in last night and when I woke up this morning, the phone wouldn't turn on at all. I plugged in the charger again and it just shows the black and white battery symbol in the center repeatedly. Then when the phone get's hot, the screen just goes black. I tried to charge it with my computer but it's just the same. When I say it gets hot, only the top half of the phone gets hot, the battery feels fine. Could it be the mainboard or is it something software that I can still fix by myself? Someone please points me to the right direction. Thanks.
First I'd try a different battery, one that is known to be good. If that doesn't solve the problem, I'd take it to a service center to get it checked out and possibly replaced, assuming you are under contract and warranty.
I guess u're right. I'll do that first before anything else. Thanks heaps

Why does this do this?
I left it on charge over night last night, to my surprise - it hadn't charged...
I have read all over about this, but this is different...
I connected it again, and one blinking red light came up, not the triple you usually get if it's dead...
this is the only response, and is continuous.
it finally turned on, I checked the status after turning everything off and setting it to airplane mode. it was at 1%...
2 hours later it was still at 1%, and then after 10 minutes i checked and noticed it said 0%.. then died.
It's now still plugged in and is flashing one red light again.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Hi.
Have you taken the battery out?, if not do so for 10 seconds or more and pop it back in see what that does.
Happened to me once, no matter what I did it didn't charge do i took the phone to the service center, they messed with something on the upper side of the phone.. plugged it into the wall and booooooom ... started charging again..
When I asked him what he did, he told me " it just needs a little magic ! "

Have you tried a different battery?
I don't know if we can fix this problem but as other posts above have said that mobile shops could be able to fix it.
You could be able to send it to SE but if your phone has been rooted or debranded you void the warranty.
i had the same problem last night, the battery died and then when i plugged it in it came on to charge, and then off again. after that point just blinking red light.
i removed the battery for some time, plugged it back in, and left it on charge for a bit and it came on.
i think the problem is, that when it starts charging, it wants to turn the screen on, which takes more power than the charger can give. so it goes into a loop. and dies.
but leaving it on charge helps (it worked for me)
Hey everyone,
I have a rogers branded razr and it suddenly died while I had it plugged in to charge. It had about 20% battery before it died, and it was plugged in. Nothing seems to bring my phone back to life. I've tried the power and volume down button together to no avail. The phone's LED light also flashes white every 15 minutes or so. Anyone have any suggestions before I take the phone back to get exchanged?

Doesn't seem to be looking good. I've had the device charging for over half an hour now and the razr is literally cold.
Same thing happened to me when my phone battery finished , its wouldnt charge with the USB charge from pc just a flashing white light would appear at front of phone , then i tried charging with the mains charger and it woke the phone back up from that whatever it was
led flashes white means charge problem? you may try something different.

Just tried a different charger on the razr and nothing happened. Also tried my razr charger with my samsung galaxy s and it charges that just fine. Guess I'm taking this phone back Such a pity as it was such a great phone.
very died
My phone just died completely a week ago while plugged on my macbook usb port. The phone is new, o bought it last month and it's already dead? come on, i thought motorola had solved it's battery quality problem from more than 5 years ago. It can only be a battery problem right?
I'm really curious what should have caused this problem, because i'm afraid motorola can't guarantee this problem won't happen again! even if it takes a year! i'm worried to loose warranty and the battery fails again! and i bet it will!
Just can't believe how many people had this same problem!
I hope to receive a new phone from warranty or at least a new battery - and hoppefully better battery!

I had received the white light of death as i call it on my razr. Basically the phone abruptly turned off and then would refuse to turn on. Plugging it into any computer/wall charger gave a solid white notification light which means the battery is too low to boot the phone. So i left it to charge for a few hours but no luck. Just took the phone back to rogers and they had it sent back for repairs and the notes showed that a Level 3 part was replaced. I'm assuming its battery related but it could be other hardware failure as well.
Hello everyone,
My sgh i777 (running one of the UCLE5 semi v# ROMS, can't remember which one xD, on siyah v3.4.3) is having a strange problem. What happened was, I put my phone on the charger on my desk, and my sister had a friend over and were messing around. Well I found my phone later in the day on the floor, and it seemed like it was more scratched then. It was still plugged into the charger at the time so I tried to turn it on. However, when I turn it on, the grey battery screen with the loading circle shows up for less than a second, and the screen turns off. Then it will do that again, flashing this screen until I unplug it from the charger. Not matter what I do, it will not get past this screen, and actually, after the screen flashes a bunch of times, you wil stop seeing the battery screen but merely a flash of light on the touchkeys and maybe the screen. I am pretty sure it is not a problem with the charger itself, and I think it may be a problem with the battery. However, my friend had an issue with his Droid (first one) where the charging port on the phone was broken and he had to use an external battery charger to charge the battery, and then it would work fine. To me, the port seems like it is not damaged, and since when I found my phone on the floor it was really hot, I really think the battery just died. I am also fairly certain that this problem is not a software issue, considering I have not tweaked anything on my phone for a few days now, and since it was working just fine before I found it on the floor. I would appreciate any feedback that you guys can give me because, like everyone else, this phone is my baby
Thanks!

Try pulling battery for a few. put it back in. try to get into CWM and wipe cache and dalvik.
Who knows how that happened. But if you have CWM or D/L mode, your fine.
I had this exact same problem on my phone (minus ending up on the floor part). I think it is from the battery overheating. Pull the battery and let it sit for a few. I had to let mine sit out for almost 4 hours before it turned back on. It may not take that long but i would leave it out for at least an hour or 2.
Thanks for your feedback! Yeah I left the battery out of the phone overnight and when I woke up I tried it again and it still did the same thing :/
I want to get an extended battery anyway (I think I'm going to order the qcell one) and if that fixes the problem that'd be great, but if it isn't a battery problem and it could be fixed now I would love to hear how so I am not out a phone until the new battery arrives ;D
Will your phone turn on when not plugged in?

No it won't even show the battery screen when it isn't plugged in. It only does that with the charger. Also it won't even have the flicker of the touchkeys, just nothing haha.
Try to get another fully charged battery from a friend and see if phone will turn on, or if you have an external charger, charge up a battery and see if it turns on

Ok I will try that as soon as possible
I tried a different battery from a different phone (although it was still a samsung phone and the battery fit right and everything) and the same thing happened >,< nothing would happen unplugged, but as soon as I put it on the charger, the touchkeys would flash, and the screen would flicker at certain intervals. Unfortunately I think this is a more serious problem :/

Same happen with my friend I9100. Power Controller gone. Only service center will help.
Seems like your USB ports are bridged. I had this exact problem. If you're under Samsung's warranty, send it to them and they'll replace it. If not, MobileTechVideos could fix it for you.... Though if you're on a custom ROM then I assume you must put it to stock before sending it out to Samsung...
I got it to work haha. Go figure the one thing I did not try fixed it. -___- I was reading through some other threads and found a guy with a similar problem and he said that he left the battery IN the phone but left it UNPLUGGED. Well I did this overnight and sure enough this morning it worked xD
Reading is wonderful!
Glad you got the problem resolved.

mine was unused for a few weeks too. I thinking its just the battery might actually go to a battery store in my city to get a new one.
Last night I plugged my Evo in to charge while I slept, and it ended up getting mixed into my bed in the process. When I woke up it was under a pillow. burning hot, so I unplugged it. This phone has a history of overheating but not that often and never to the point where it doesn't work, but this time the screen wouldn't turn on. The red light flashed weakly a couple times like it was trying to start itself back up but nothing. I took the battery out and cooled the phone and battery for 20 minutes and tried again, nothing until I plugged it back in, and then it was just the red light, I want to try charging it more but I'm worried that could wreck it for good. Also, I bought the phone off ebay through a commercial seller, but it's on Rogers through my dad's company so I could get it looked at if I have to. Help?
Overheating
I have had this type of overheating as well, and my phone works fine. You may want to get yours checked though, because I have a feeling your MB
is burnt. Were you overclocking it?
So as of last night my LG V10 has been having major issues with charging. First off I will plug it in and for a second the little battery icon will do the animation and then stop. I went to the battery status screen and it said that the phone was not charging. Secondly it will restart on its own when plugged in and it's not charging. i first noticed something was up about two weeks ago. I left my phone to charge overnight, then I went to use it when I woke up and it was at 1% battery then turned off. I plugged it back in and it charged fine. Later in the day i was on my way to work and I went to check my phone but it would not turn on. I'd press the power key (on the back) and it would just do a quick little vibration but would not turn on. I then took the battery out and put it back in. Since then it has worked fine until last night. i tested out two cables and I tried them both on my PC. T he phone would still not charge. I just went to sleep with it plugged in, hoping it would somehow charge at some point in the night. Woke up and no dice. I tried one last time to charge it and somehow it charged normally. All the way to 100%. I could even use it while charging. Just a few moments ago I tried to test it again. Surprise surprise...it would stop charging. As I type this it just restarted twice while plugged in. i just removed it from the cable now. I really have no idea what is wrong with my phone. Here are a few things I believe may have something to do with it: I use it to hear music in the shower (potentially vapor), I sometimes put the charger the wrong way (somewhat roughly), and I have it in my pocket while at work where it get hot and has lots of moisture. I am waiting on doing a factory reset. I just ordered a new battery. At this point I'm lost on what to do. I really hope someone on here can help me figure this out. I'm on AT&T by the way.
I returned mine to T-Mobile for a new one. 1 yr warranty.
