Last night I pressed install to the ics update. My phone had an unlocked bootloader and was rooted, but was still running the original os it came with. For 30 minutes there was the android sign and a triangle. I plugged it in and went to bed. I wake up today to find that it won't turn on. It's been charging for 40 minutes, and still won't turn on. What can I do?
Thanks.
Charge the battery externally, then manually update the device.

@ dark nightmare, what do you mean by "then manually update the device" ? Do you mean flashing the OTA in recovery?

Yes, but via stock recovery, check the amaze bible thread on how to flash ota files via stock recovery to manually upgrade your device.

So I finally got my phone on later the next day, but all of a sudden my phone will not charge. It's been plugged in for an hour and only goes up 3% in battery. Did something mess up on my phone that it won't charge or what? The battery dropped from 30% to 0 in 3 seconds and when it finally turns on it dies even when it is plugged into the wall and says it's charging. Any ideas?
Thanks.

My external battery charger broke and don't want to have to buy another when I have 2 chargers already. And how would charging the battery externally help prevent it from going from 30% to 0?

Because it's not charging in the phone, as you can obviously see, the 30% to 0 basically says your battery is dead and it's not getting to charge in the device, you need to give it, say a jump start from an external power source.

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

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?

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.

Hey there,
My phone drained while plugged in and I noticed after I unplugged it the charge began to climb. Ideas? Anyone else?

Dont want to be the pessimist but my brothers phone did this. He sent it off to samsung and they sent him a bill for £150. Apparently it was water damage. There are other threads on here though have been diagnosed as faulty USB connection on the main board.

Well it hasn't touched water.. seems the charge count has stopped going up.

Neither had my brothers, apparently its sensitive that the slightest condensation can cause the indicators to turn. Thats what they told my brother.

Just an Android bug.
When charging, the phone thinks it's draining, so it says; it's losing power.
When decharging, it thinks it's charging... Phone Samsung, send some photos (with the phone) and make sure the water-sticker has all it's crosses VISIBLE!
If you don't want to risk a bill yet, then try flashing a different ROM... (First, backup, incase it doesn't work, flash stock ROM via Odin, if that doesn't work, try a different custom ROM, if that doesn't work, you phone's f**ked...)
I will try this tonight when I am home. Thank you for the input. I will post results

OK... didn't have a chance to flash a different ROM. if anyone has any suggestions on which rom to go with I would appreciate it.
Today it seems that the battery will not charge. It sees that it is plugged in but it does not take charge. The saga continues! I am thinking about getting another battery just to test this out.
You must rule out bad roms by flashing a stock rom .

Common bug.
What seems to happen with mine is that the battery miscalculated the amount it's drained by when you use it for a while - For example, using google maps as a car GPS. After you get to the destination, and turn off the GPS and Data, the battery APPEARS to regain charge - it's not really, it's just recalculating the amount it was drained by.
A battery refresh will sort it, it's also very common if you reboot/crash at under 50% power. It reboots at around 10% and ticks back up to the 'correct' value after an hour or so.
It gets worse after a few weeks of use, and a battery refresh (full charge, shut down, remove battery for 2 minutes, replace battery, fully charge, switch on), sets everything back to default again and it behaves itself for a while.
Not had it happen for a couple months now, but I've not been dinking around with flashing stuff of late so it's not been crashing horribly (which was the main CAUSE of this bug), in the first place.
Here is some news... tried a different USB cable and guess what? No more charge issues or over voltages.

Don't buy a new battery!
Before paying for anything;
while the phone is running, pull the battery...
2. (Leave the battery out) Plug your phone in, if it recognizes the charger, leave it to clear the RAM properly, plug the battery back in, boot into CWM and wipe battery stats! Once done, take from charger, unplug battery, plug it back in, then leave the phone powered down, and plug charger in. Leave it for an hour or two, then boot into Android. Now it should work fine
It's a problem with your usb charging port. It will progresssively get worse and ICS will keep telling you that its paused charging due to overvoltage. The only way to truly fix it is to have the charging port plus circuit board replaced. Happened to me a week back and I tried virtually everything- stock roms, removed root, replaced batteries etc. None of that worked. Some posts said it was a port problem. Went to a tech guy I knew and he confirmed the issue when he disconnected the port. It was relatively cheap for me to fix but some people have climed that samsung charges a large amount to fix it. You're better off trying to get it fixed on your own. If you're on warranty, try and claim it
I plugged in my phone last night and made sure it was charging, so i wake up this morning and i unplug it and it was at 20%?!? So i plugged it in rougly an hour ago and it only went up 20%, could it be that i left the desk clock thing on all night it just used more than it could keep up with and my battery is just super dead? I have also used different chargers and nothing worked.
It never goes past twenty? If that's the case, i'm thinking it may be a battery issue. If you call Samsung and tell them the problem, you should be able to get another one for free.

"Since God created man, and man created the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note are like a gift from God, Randal!"
Verify how much current the phone is drawing (CurrentWidget from app store or a shell script). Even with the factory charger I have seend where the phone will draw less than 400mA (which is less than from a USB port on a computer) due to the cable being used - I threw out that cable. The "Battery Info" showed AC but the phone was only drawing 389mA.
Mine does 1% every 2 minutes with stock charger.

its drawing 6130, but the phone is back to charging normally now, idk what it was but it was strange needless to say...
Had the same problem
I had the same problem of super slow charging a few days ago.
Fixed it by rebooting into recovery --> advanced --> wipe battery stats --> then reboot. Phone then charged as normal.
In case anyone has this trouble down the road...
For CurrentWidget you'll need to set the operation type to divide (/) and the operation value to 10. That will show you the correct charging current.

Hello.
I've recently bought an extended battery for my HTC EVO 3D.
Changed from the original 1700 to 3500.
Problem is, right when I plugged it into the phone, it didnt turn on.
The charge light would go on for about 2-4 seconds then turn back off.
I tried using the original battery and still get the same problem
Now the charge light doesnt turn on at all, and the PC wont even read that it's connected.
Is my phone bricked now because of this new battery?
What can I do?
Please help me

Yes i'm sure they're charged.
When I took the old one out to put in the new extended battery, it was at about 75 percent.
I left the extended battery charging all night (no charging light on) thinking maybe it was just really dead.
Still getting same results this morning.
No charge light, no turning on.

Any chance you're using CWM? If so try another recovery... also the battery could be below minimum charge level, which could be solved by an external charger

Your charger port might of disconnected from your mother board (basically game over), it was a fairly common problem on the OG Evo. I'm not sure if there is a fix for it, you may have to take it to the Sprint store for a replacement if they have one. I don't think they should charge you since it is a hardware issue but im not sure. Best of luck to you man

This happens when your battery is really dead. You might have to leave the charger plugged in for a few hours before the LED comes back on.
However, this is a temporary fix, and it is likely that it will happen again.
I'd recommend you to get a new battery, even if plugging it for a few hours solves your problem. HTC Amazes are notorious for killing batteries. If you look around, you'll see threads talking about horrible battery life, similar random shutdowns, and such that can only be fixed with a new battery.

i tested my battery voltage and it was 3.850, how can it be really dead when its rated at 3.8v? i have had the battery issue before, but it never bricked my phone.
It's not bricked. (It shouldn't be)
Remove the battery, press the power button several times to dissipate any remaining charge in the phone, and then insert a fully charged battery. I'd recommend you using a different phone (if available) to charge the said battery.
After that, it should boot up normally.
And if I recall, voltage is supposed to be consistent, regardless of the charge level (unless it's totally dead, then maybe it's different, I don't know)
It's the current you want to look for.

Yeah that's not normal. You could try charging it, but it's likely that the battery is fried already. You can buy a new battery on Amazon or some similar site. Many people (including me) recommend Anker batteries.
