Try your OEM A/C charger. Some people have reported the phone will only recognize that when the battery is fully drained.
Yeah.....return that! That is not normal at all.

Once I had my phone drain so low it died (not just turned itself off) and when I hooked up the charger, it took several minutes for the indicator light to come on and go into charging mode. Have you left it on the OEM charger for several minutes?

I'm actually experiencing this right now. It has been on the charger for about 10 minutes and still wont boot. I had a white light, now it is green. Going to give it a little more time and see how it plays out.

Yep, mine also started as white and evidently that means a completely drained battery. It changed to green and started charging soon after.

After about 15-20 minutes the phone booted up on its own. Just an FYI for anyone who thinks there phone is not working after it dies.
I've had this problem too. I just figured, it's a SMARTphone, it'll figure itself out This has easily happened to me over 5 times, and phone still works fine and holds over a day charge.
So I am on my second battery right now. The first one just decided it shouldnt turn on. I could plug the charger in and the notification light wouldnt turn on, pull the battery and it would. Well, now my second battery is doing the samething. I had left it on the charger while I was outside doing stuff, came in in the afternoon, dead phone. Pulled and replaced battery a few times, phone still wouldnt turn on. Then I plugged in the charger and no notification light would come on. So I finally pulled the battery and with the battery out I plugged in the charger and then the notification light would come on. What the hell is going on here?
Anyone else have these problems? Now I have to drive 30+ miles one way to my nearest Verizon store to replace this damn thing and I am not happy about this one bit. Anyone on here have any suggestions for me?

If you bought it from Verizon and not second hand, then you have 1 year warranty. I suggest you call Verizon's customer service and speak with them and get a replacement sent. I've done this multiple times with just about every phone I've had. 1800-922-0804 is what I dial. to get to them, press 0, then press 0 again, and it will ask for your account password, then a rep will get on the phone.
best of luck.
If the phone is older than 30 days, or maybe it's 14 now with Verizon, they give you a refurbished phone, if you are over that period and went to the store I'm pretty positives all they would do is order you the replacement refurb phone. 30+ miles each way is a hike, save the gas money

Just had my Rezound battery die last night. It was freezing outside and my battery was at 1%. The screen just went blank. When I got home, plugged in the charger. The notification led came on for 3 seconds then went back off again. Tried several chargers I had and pulling the battery and plugging it in.
Weird.
Verizon has the 14 day return/exchange policy now. I was at 12 days so I just went in and they replaced the battery with a brand new one from a Rezound box. I assume they will send that unit back RMA. My phone works now.
You're not the only person having battery death issues. Not sure why this is a problem on the Rezound. I recently purchased an extended battery ironically. It will be arriving tomorrow.
Here's to hoping that it won't die. I should buy some spares just in case. Make sure you call customer service and report the issue. It is tracked.
I was also having an issue charging from a dead battery (would charge just fine otherwise). The charging indicator would not stay lit, but after giving it 10 minutes or so, repeated attempts to power on would eventually work and then it would charge normally.
Had this happen several times and then reflashed the stock image. Seems to be working as it should now. However, when I got my phone it had a dead battery it wouldn't charge. So we'll see what happens.
Note: was running Senseless 1.0 and de-bloated. Stock rom kernel. If it matters....I probably didn't get a clean install when doing it all.
Rezound has a known issue that if the battery dies to far you'll need something else to charge the battery. Some people have used their old thunderbolts to give it a pre charge, buy the stand alone charger from Verizon. Or just don't let your phone discharge tthat far.

Good to know - is that all or most Rezounds? Because I wonder if I should swap mine while I still can.
Like I said, I was having that issue and after flashing the stock RUU (updated one, .6) my phone is charging a dead battery just fine (2 for 2 so far, fingers crossed).
Actually brand new in the store mine had a dead battery and it would not charge, so they gave me a new battery. Perhaps there was a fix in that updated RUU. It's just a suggestion - after I confirm this works consistently I'll see what happens with some other roms.
Alternatively, it's also possible the stock RUU doesn't let you drain the battery as far as the roms do. I was able to power back on several times until it finally wouldn't (and no led flashing at that point), but now it charges from there.
Yea, I woke up one morning and my phone was deader than a door nail. Popped on the charger and no notification light, called Verizon to whine and prepared to stop by the store to get a replacment battery. However just for kicks I plug the phone back on the charger (ok my laptop) and after 1/2 hour the notification light popped back on and the battery started to charge. Now Prior I was having a high rate of discharged getting about 2 hours of use and 5 on standby (airplane on, WiFi and Data off) and still having the high rate of discharge. I started to investigate why the phone was getting hot and discharging so fast. Now I couldn't fine the culprit (I think WIFI was the cause) but I just did a factory reset, reloaded my rom and kernal and poof, everything return to normal including much longer discharge rates and I'm much happier now (Adult Beverages and household chemicals indigestation).
If you go to HTC's website it actually has a faq on this. Their response goes pretty much like this. If you drain your battery till the phone shuts off, plug your phone in. It will flash the notification light then there will be no charging light. The light could take 20 minutes or more to turn on. I also had this problem like you guys but just put it on charge over night and it will be fine. Just don't kill it to 0 anymore.
Found the Quote: My phone won’t power on. What can I do? close
If your phone will not power on, your battery may be drained or not seated correctly.
Tips:
If the battery is completely dead, the phone will need to charge for a few minutes and then should power on once this happens. When plugging the phone into the charging, the notification light may not light up immediately as the battery is completely dead. Let it charge for about 20 minutes before trying to power on.
Make sure you are using the AC charger that was supplied with your phone

battery discharges while plugged in and using it
ok, so this happened with the stock rom, and two other roms i had.
What would happen is if you plug the phone in, and use it, you would expect it to charge while you are using it. It did on my dinc. it actually discharges while you use it and it is plugged into the supplied charger.
This is not a good thing. I am wondering if anyone else is having a similar experience.
One interesting side note.
I installed rezrom recently, and after the initial install i didn't experience this problem and got a 24 hour charge out of the battery. Now on my second charge only lasted 7 hours, and i get that drain while plugged in again.
Are you using the stock charger or a different one? You might not be charging at 1amp.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I am using the stock charger. I have two actually, one from my dinc, which also supply 1 amp of power
That's really crappy and definitely an issue they need to address. My Rezound sucks on the battery like a wine-o on a Friday night, but it's never gotten to the point of blacking out.
I am just interested to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue of it being plugged in and not charging when u surf the net, but actually discharges.
The whole issue of it not powering up for 15 minutes after it dies is a bunch of crap too. my dinc does not do this, and god forbid that my phone dies in an emergency situation and i need to get a hold of someone fast!
oh i forgot to add that i called VZW and complained about this, and they going to send a new battery. Something tells me this won't resolve this issue though
I have the official HTC 2750 battery and Its been good except 2 mornings I woke up to an unresponsive phone with no charge notification after plugging it in.. Pulling the battery and reinstalling let me start the phone up. I have had this phone/battery combo for 2 weeks.. should I try to get a replacement battery or is this normal. There have been two different answers here and I want to do the right thing here...

Yes, exactly. Not sure if it was entirely discharged. I'll leave it off the charger tonight and see if it does it again by morning. I'll let you know battery % once I get it booted.

From the beginning, phone was on charger, charging then came back later (phone still on charger) no led, nothing, phone wouldnt turn on.
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.

Sorry I should have added that to the original post, plugging directly into the wall is what I have been trying today and still no luck.
He means why in the world would u plug your phone into your computer to charge especially if it was almost dead. Next time i would just use the standard wall charger from the get go if you're looking to fully 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.

^ This.. I mean yes you can use USB to charge, but USB isn't as reliable for everyday use...

Order a new battery off Amazon or something.
Will it power on with the battery in and the wall charger connected?

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.
Does it taste like chicken? If so, then its probably fried.

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.

Last night I installed 7-22 JB kt Kernel over 7-20 CM 10 (wiped cache, dalvik, and fixed permissions) and had an extremely strange issue. I plugged my phone in and all was good, charging ect. When I went to sleep I had my phone plugged in to charge since battery was quite low. I woke up and picked up my phone to check emails and my phone was off. I booted it back up and noticed I only had 7% left on batt. So I checked battery usage in settings and saw a bunch of spaces like the phone was turned off then back on numerous times (50+ times). and in between restarts were marks on charging bar too. So I went out to do my daily things and charged my phone. (it would only charge to 60%all day) I used my phone alot and the battery died because I was not near a charger. Now phone will vibrate and led will flash but not charge. I cant get into download mode either. I'm hoping its just a glitch with my battery or sonething but I'm getting no response from phone after it vibrates.
Edit: I have ss of battery but cant access phone
U can try zo pull out the bat for at least 10 minutes then insert it back and see if that fixes your issue got that once in the past on my sgs2 while flashing a corrupted 3 part rom and fixed it this way

Ok, trying that now will respond in about 1/2 hour to try and let battery charge some.

So apparently it did work cause its now on. It turned back on on its own.

For a couple weeks now, ever since I had to fix my Music player not showing my files, my phone has had this weird habit:
It'll be plugged in. All the time. Pretty much 24/7. But as soon as I take it off the charger - give or take a few minutes - it will turn off. No warning. No nothing. To turn the phone back on, it has to be charging. When I turn it back on, the battery % will be anywhere between 0% and 100%.
I have no idea what's going on, and it's making it impossible to use the phone off the charger without the battery charger pack. And that lasts what - an hour at best?
I thought it might be the ROM I had installed, and I was going to revert to the stock ROM today, but I instead upgraded from 2.3.7 LiquidSmooth to LiquidSmooth's new ICS ROM. I thought it would work, but after setting everything up and letting go of the charger, it died again in a couple minutes. The difference this time was that it showed the htc screen, but then went black and nothing. With the old rom, it just went black and done.
I apologize if there's another thread on this, but I haven't been able to find anything online in the past week or three.
Thanks in advance.
Mine has been doin the same thing. Sometimes being difficult to turn back on. Totally stock phone. I think mostly when plugged in. I will try to keep track.

So far today it has shut down 3 times. Once while plugged in and twice not. All 3 times sent the batt from 3/4 charge to under 5% when I fired the phone up. I am usingthe stock batt but am going to maybe wedge somethingbetween the batt and the cover to see if it wil do anything. I dont want to do a full reset.....i may be switching to the galixy 3. But rumers of a 4 in beginning of 2013 may have me holding off.

Yeah sounds like the battery has given up the ghost.
My phone has been doing this as well. This is the stock battery from March 2010. This only happens when Im not on WiFi. Also this only started after I flashed from the ICS leak to another ROM. I think its strange, but I ordered a new battery to be sure.
