So, I left my working Tbolt on my nightstand to charge last night. This morning I woke up and found the amber LED light blinking and the phone does not turn on. I placed a new battery into the phone last month and the phone was working just fine yesterday.
I replace the old battery into the phone, the phone boots up, but it does not want to boot up with the new battery. ALso, the old battery can charge (solid amber light) when plugged into PC or the wall.
Does anybody know what could have happened with the new battery? It was not hot when I went to bed.
Thank you.
Just put the battery back I to the phone and leave it on the charger for a while. It will stop blinking once it starts to take a charge again.

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)
I let my battery die off this morning til I got home. I plugged it into the wall and tried to boot up. I got the green light to flash but then nothing. I pulled the battery out and even left it charging for a few hours. Still, the phone does not power up. The green light turns on for a bit and then off. I haven't done any mods to the phone...
Any idea what is going on? Or perhaps how I can fix this? Any help would be great.
Weird. I had it plugged in my Energizer Ps3 controller stand (it has two usb outputs) which was giving me the issue before. I finally plugged it in to the wall and it boot up fine. I guess the PS3 stand may be faulty...

Use the charger that came with your phone.
If you do a google search, you will see that the droid x and droid 2 also have this same issue.
next time it happens, pull the batter and SD card. wait a minute or two, put in the sdcard and battery, then plug in the WALL charger. It will power on the phone and boot it up.
has happend to me twice - so now i just never turn off my phone rebooting it is also touch n go to be honest... the phone is sooo sensitive!
The phone's not sensitive...it requires an 800mA charger (0.8A). If you connect it to something less it doesn't have enough power to charge the device. If you let it sit long enough it *WILL* charge it...but it'll probably take a day to have enough juice to start up. If you let the battery drain completely it usually won't turn on until there's like 15% or more battery charged. Charging 15% battery on a 400mA charger (which could very well be the level your PS3 charging stand outputs) would probably take like 7 hours.
Thanks for the info, everyone!
I'm sorry for the bump, but this has happened to my mother's Atrix that I gave her just 2 days ago.
She found it turned off, wouldn't power. I figured it wasn't charged so I'm trying to charge it on the wall adapter that it came with but no green light. I've put it on my laptop and the green light appears.
It's not turning on though...can someone reassure me that if the light turns on, it WILL power eventually?
Same problem here

hello man, i have the same problem you have, did you find out something useful???
My View is rooted S-off and last night my battery life was bad but I had it plugged in so I continued to play with it. I think it finally died and the power button led began to blink. Now I cannot get out of the recovery. If I choose "reboot system now" it goes back into the recovery. If I restore a backup that I had it goes back into the recovery. If I unplug it and reboot, it shuts off and the light stops blinking but I can't turn it back on. When I plug it in again I get the same problem. Please help......what do I do?
I just got my view (used) the battery was very dead. When its that dead. Plugging it in will have the blink orange instead of a solid orange. I couldn't do anything with it till I let it charge up. I let it charge for 16 hours ( with it off) before the light finally went green (the stock charger seems a little wimpy to me).
I would say stick it on the charger (with it off) for 24 hours and see if it just needed a long charge.

I could give that a try but it won't stay off. I try to reboot from the CM recovery and it boots back to the CM recovery and the screen stays on. I can't even restore my nandroid backups because it dies before finishing. I've had it on the charger since yesterday so hopefully that light will stop blinking soon.
Hmmm if it dies.... doesn't that mean the screen is then off?
You could charge it with a different charger. My phone charger charges my view way faster than the stock charger.

After a day of use, I had 9% battery left. I put my Rezound on the OEM AC wall charger (phone still on) and the orange charging LED lit up. Then I walked away. When I came back a few minutes later, the LED had gone off. Now it won't power on, and when I try to charge it, the LED blinks for about 20 seconds and goes off. Has anybody experienced this before? Any ideas or possible solutions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
edit: I pulled the battery and charged it with a variable power supply. 5 V at 1.1 A for a few minutes until the voltage got to 4.1 V. I put it back in the phone and now the charging orange charging LED is back on steady. Hopefully, it will work. I will update results. What a pain in the neck...
edit 2: It has turned on and still charging. 15%
final edit: Seems to be fixed now. Sorry for the congestion. Mods please delete. Thanks.

I haven't applied the OTA update, so my phone's on the stock ROM that came before the new one. I have rooted the phone, but it worked fine until today. It died last night and I put it on the charger, but this morning it wouldn't turn on. Now that I have it plugged in, the front LED blinks steadily, and when I hold down the power button or power+volume down buttons, the lower LED bar blinks, but the phone won't turn on. Could something have gone wrong if it tried to automatically install the OTA update while I wasn't using it? Or is there another way to fix this? The problem occurs whether the phone is plugged in or charging wirelessly.
Edit: Solved. The phone booted when I tried again. I still have no idea why it wouldn't work though; I left it on the wireless charger all night, so it should have charged then, but it could have moved off of it. Today it took a solid 10 minutes plugged in to the computer to charge enough to boot. Is that normal? Shouldn't it just use the charging energy to boot?
