there is some wierd charging issues with some of these devices. most of the time my device will charge in 2.5-3hrs. occasionally it will not charge right. one thing i noticed is if the device is plugged into the charger and the red light does not come on, it will not charge correctly. sometimes it seems a email notification will cause the red light to diasapear and it quits charging normally as well. Now if I unplug and the device turn screen off and plug back in it will charge normally. What I cant decide if its a faulty wall charger or a hardware issue?? Whatever it is definately is intermittent!!

I have heard faulty cables causing this, (aftermarket) giving problems with charging and odin................... periods to share......lmao

Urgent help needed:blue triangle in battery screen, phone not charging

My sister has a Samsung Galaxy y phone running Gingerbread 2.3.3 (not rooted). She plugged the phone after it ran out of charge and saw this screen (pic attached) with the battery icon empty and a blue triangle with a crossed out battery symbol inside it. The phone would not power up
We tried everything : checked charger, plug points, usb charging, taking out battery and cleaning contacts but everything is fine.
Please help if anyone knows what this is
NOt sure if it will help anymore but this happened to me, I couldn't figure it out. TO make a long story short. I got another battery at full charge, put phone into download mode and used Odin application on my PC to get back to stock . Phone booted and worked fine with charging and all. It might be the port but i'm not sure
Only when my phone goes under 50 percent does it not charge now. Its odd. I am getting a replacement phone soon.
Edit- I'm using an At&t galaxy note.
What solved the problem
Well, my sister just took the phone to the service centre coz it was within warranty. Those guys gave it back to her with a new battery and some patches installed...they were not prepared to say which . Anyway, now her phone is fine. Seems to be something exclusive with samsung devices.
Battery issue
I had the same issue with my unrooted HTC Evo 4g a while back, when the charger was plugged in it would charge for about a minute then I would have a blue triangle on my battery icon. I replaced the battery and all was right again hope this helps anyone else who reads this even though it sounds like your sister's issue is resolved.
Okay so I know it was the phone that got messed up. I had originally been rooted with a custom rom and the issue occurred randomly. Come to find out, after I odin'ed back to stock with a spare battery at 100 percent the phone started working normally but... Once the phone got back below 20 percent or so it started not charging. It was so odd. Basically it wasn't the rom or the battery. I used 2 seperate batteries. It was definitely the port or the phone's internal memory got corrupted. It was weird and maybe it will never be pin pointed what the issue was but in the end if the phone went below 50-20 percent it wouldn't charge. Note: If the phone was put into download mode, I could leave it on the charger and it would charge no matter what, so technically I could have lived with the phone only charging in download mode until I got it over 50 percent, then I could of charged it in the car or other chargers.
I went back to the store once I Odined back to stock and they just gave me a new phone, thanks to Warranties. If anyone gets stuck with your phone being rooted and rom'ed, just go to download/ODIN mode and charge your phone up until you can odin it back to stock, then take it back to the store for a replacement if your within warranty.
Problem solved. Just flash it with odin
This problem can be solved by flashing with an odin a firmware with pit and bootloader. The tools are provided in the link. Download it and flash your phone.
download it from
d-h.st/PF5
Before flashing download the usb drivers and install it.

press thanks if i helped

Amaze 4G wont turn on....Bricked?

So I got my Amaze on Friday, rooted and installed Energy Rom on Saturday, and phone just died on me on Sunday.
I was in the middle of playing Scramble with Friends and phone froze up on me. I had to take the batter out to reset it since the power button was not responsive. After I pulled the battery and put it back in, the phone would turn on.
So i read and read and found out people usually bought new batteries since the most likely culprit was a dead battery. I have a friend with the same phone and tried his battery. I saw the HTC Logo come on for a brief second and then that was it, nothing else. Phone died again and did not turn on (under his batter). I recharged my battery in his phone and tried that as well, but no luck.
Any ideas what went wrong and what I can do to fix this?
The phone is completely dead and not turning on. So that means I can't get into bootloader and recovery.
About Phone:
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP recovery
Faux Kernel
ENERGY Rom
Any incite on this would be great. Thanks in advance!
Plug it in to the wall charger for 30-45min. Unplug and pull battery again. Put battery back in and you should be good...
Don't be alarmed if the orange led light flashes... It's normal when the phone dies. Be happy you're using twrp and not an old recovery that doesn't have charging while off

Thanks, i actually read those threads before i posted. I think there are more threads about that but i tried all options and none seemed to work. I will try plugging it in the wall and pulling battery out but the battery is at a 100% charge right now (i can confirm from a friends phone). However, if its just a glitch, then i will try the wall charger trick.
Thanks.

Once you get it booted, I recommend 4EXT recovery... But that's just my opinion

Thanks - tried the battery solution but unfortunately it didn't work out for me. Phone just refuses to power up.
Assuming its an official brick.
i have a similar problem, well my battery had charged and running fine for several months, so i unplugged the battery to put my sim on it, and plug it back in when it was booting up it froze on the boot logo, so i took off the battery again so i can reboot it
and ever since it wont come back on, wont either go to the bootloader, so i let it charged all night and nothing happen no led blinking or on, so got my friends amaze's battery to test and it would not do anything at either, right now i am waiting for my replacement, but i hate the fact that this had happen to me
oh wow - well i ordered a replacement as well. I really hope it doesn't come down to a software issue and they don't end up covering the device since it has been rooted.
If the phone is completely dead and non-booting, there's no way for T-Mobile to determine if it's rooted or not. Only until it gets back to HTC to be refurbished could they (HTC) find out but at that point it won't matter to anyone anyhow.
And it couldn't possibly be a software issue. There's something physically defective inside the device that caused it to die.
htc amaze 4g refuse to turn on.
hi all, i'm a newbie here, though i have always loved the XDA. I unlocked my bootloader last night, downloaded and reinstalled my fav apps since i didnt do a backup. while i was downloading the XDA app, my fone freezed and eventually went off. When i tried to get it back on, it got stuck on the white htc screen and later went off after some seconds. It has refused to come on till the time of this post. i really need urgent advice.
I was yet to install a recovery software before the tragedy occurred.

HTC One X+ not turned-on nor charging ! !

Hi guys,
please help if you can!
My One X+ intl. is dead!
battery fully drained.
tried to plug it in to a wall chager, my PC USB, another charger ----> NADA.
device not responding to anything.
anything I could do at home before sending it to a lab?
IMPORTANT - i was on CM10 with a specific kernel I flashed.
if someone will do a factory reset (with full data wipe), will it reboot to stock properly or go in to bootloop?
what should I do when in order to go back to stock\another ROM properly from this situation?
here is the full details:
I read few threads regarding this issue from the One X forums and nothing came up.
From this morning (in the minute i woke up) my One X+ was hot.
after disconeccting it from the charger, i have noticed it drains battery really fast.
Tried to charge it, showing its charging but it kept going down (2 % in a minute while screen is on).
when it came to 7% i turned it off, waited half an hour for it to charge and turned him on again.
it booted with 2%.
after turn it off again - never came up again

You did not search much then if you are still asking how to go back to stock. Run the RUU for your particular model and it will take you back to stock. But this sounds like a small problem if you can not charge your phone. Before anyone tells you to, you are on the international version of the phone so TWRP is fine and not your issue. It sounds like there is something physically broken on your phone or you flashed something very very wrong.
right listen up, i have the international HOX+ my battery died the other day to ZERO, if you actually read the TWRP thread, you would see all you have to do is plug the charger in, hold power for 10seconds to exit offmode charging and boot. Simple. and don't say it cant be done because it can be, i do it often.
Thanks for helping guys.
much appreciated.
It seem the device got overheated and that what made this issue.
I don't have warranty since I unlocked the bootloader so I took it to a private shop.
I raised this Q because I was affraid someone from this shop would do a factory reset. Didn't knew if it causes to bootloop.
Took precaution and told them not to.

tried it like a hundred time with 3 different charges.
Also tried entering bootloader, the first time I tried it blinked as if it was really going to boot and then died.
if i were u i will keep it on it's original charger for 16+ hours after that the red LED indicator will appear ... if that happens your phone not fully bricked and it can be recovered
Lame of HTC to kick the can down the road. They know it is a problem with the drivers/device.
One X had issues also early on.
Mine literally worked fine from my One X and car bluetooth, then to the One X+, crackling etc...after pairing in the audio and general poor sound.
Mic works fine and the other end doesn't know it.
Guess we will just have to wait and see. Or just go back to the One X....

Updated "Please help: VZW S4 not charging..." (The refurb/replacement is busted)

Updated "Please help: VZW S4 not charging..." (The refurb/replacement is busted)
First of all, big thanks to this whole community and the wealth of info that led me through my first time rooting and flashing ROMs. But now on to the sour part (search didn't bring up anything useful to my situation).
Short history of phone in case it helps:
I've been rooted since June (rooted on MDK). I've been on the CM 10.1 and then 10.2 nightlies ever since. I've followed all directions, and am glad to say that I had a great experience (a few hiccups from dirty flashing a few times, but nothing that couldn't get sorted). Last ROM I was on was CM 10.2 nightly from 2013-10-11.
Anyway, last night my battery gets low, but I didn't charge it right away. It got down to about 8%, and then I try to charge, but the battery icon doesn't indicate charging. Indeed after a few minutes fiddling, the % drops to 7%. Trying to charge it while powered off caused the phone to vibrate once every 5-10 seconds or so, but no LED or on-screen indication it's charging. I tried my wife's S4 charger and cable. Same result, not charging. I restored to a previous CM nightly backup I had from September. Same result, still not charging. I restored to my rooted stock ROM backup made right after I first rooted in June. Same result, not charging. Charging from the wall or PC doesn't make a difference. I ended swapping batts with my wife, using her stock never-been-rooted S4 to charge my batt, which worked just fine.
The USB port on my phone does work since I could see the device in Odin. Tried reflashing the stock kernel. Still not charging. I spent the rest of last night restoring to out-of-the-box stock. Now I'm back to a completely stock, unrooted S4 (still on MDK kernel, haven't accepted update to ME7), and it still won't charge. No notices or anything that the charger is connected. Except this morning, for no reason discernible to me, I now get the following warning message when I connect my or my wife's charger:
"The connected charger is incompatible with this phone. To prevent damage to your phone, charging has been stopped. To continue charging, use the original charger and cable that were provided with this phone."
Thoughts, please? And thanks in advance to you all.
Update 1 at 2013-10-13T17:30EDT
So I did some more digging and came across what looks like a similar problem (that's what I get for not using Google for search anymore). Sorry, can't post links yet.
forums.androidcentral.com/rogers-samsung-galaxy-s4/297925-samsung-galaxy-s4-not-charging-grey-battery.html
The biggest difference is that I don't get the grey battery symbol when plugged in while powered off, just the cyclic vibrating. And mine doesn't charge at a reduced rate at all (I lost 7% battery in 45 minutes while plugged in and powered off due to all the vibrating).
Further, my "incompatible charger" warning has ceased. I'm just back to the phone not recognizing a charger is plugged in at all. Phone still talks to my PC just fine though.
Is it likely I need to replace the USB charging port flex cable as suggested in the Android Central post? Thanks for anyone reading and pondering.
Did you try to flash back to stock?

Yes. I flashed via Odin back to unrooted stock (MDK kernel) and stock recovery, which is the phone's current config. I haven't yet done the ME7 update, but it auto-downloaded today, just haven't installed it.
How long have you had the phone? My suggestion would be to make another backup and put it on your computer. Then restore back to full stock, no root or anything. Take it to Verizon / Best Buy and tell them it's not charging. Hopefully it's not water damaged.

I've had the phone since the end of May (so I've owned it 4.5 months). Since I've already restored to full stock, I'm thinking tomorrow I'll take it to a VZW store near me to see what they say. Is Samsung's manufacturer warranty handled through VZW? Or do I deal with Samsung directly? Note, I have no extra insurance/warranty on the phone.
That should be manufacture warranty and you normally have1 year from purchase. Good luck and again just ensure you completely wipe it off all root and custom Roms. They'll try to blame it on that.

Back to VZW to replace the replacement phone
Update:
I went to my local VZW store on Monday and they tried cleaning the USB port. No luck, so they shipped me a refurb since this is still under the 1 year hardware warranty. I paid the extra for overnight shipping. My refurb phone arrived yesterday. I moved over my sim, micro SD, and battery from the old phone to the refurb/replacement phone, and plugged in the wall charger. BOOM, battery starts charging no problem :victory:. I spent last night getting my phone all set up. I also checked and this phone has the ME7 update so no more CM or any other ROM for now :crying:.
But otherwise, everything looked good with the replacement device...until this morning. I had the phone powered off all night, tried turning it on this morning and it won't turn on. Won't boot normally, won't boot into recovery, won't boot into download. Tried a battery pull...no luck. The phone had like 95% battery when I shut it off last night. Now, when I plug in the wall charger, the phone buzzes once, the grey battery icon with the circle shows up for 10-15 seconds, then the screen goes blank, then that sequence repeats.
Back to VZW today to get the replacement phone replaced .
dang...you have some bad luck. I had some similar issues and the phone seemed to fix itself?? Did not want to lose custom recovery, so actualy ordered an external charger and two batteries and of course the day the batteries came, the phone started charging normally again. Anyways...good luck...hopefully the new device wont have the newest update (which i dont think it's ota yet...just over wire). Dont let the store update anything at all or you may not even be able to root!

[Q] Soft bricked(?) DNA, can't get into bootloader... Please HELP!!

Hey guys,
So I've had my DNA for almost 1 1/2 years, and just recently decided to root and flash CM 11 and CWM recovery onto it. Now, everything went fine, except a month later, I was listing to music on Pandora, and my phone crashed (it has a few times before since it wasn't a stable release, but always boots back up in like 5 mins), but this time it never booted back up. I let it sit in the charger over night, but got nothing, not even an orange light. So I decided that, since it was broken anyways, to go ahead and take the entire phone apart and reassemble it. And after the second time, it turned back on (by plugging it into my computer at the same time of holing down the power button). But an hour later, the battery died, and I couldn't get to the charger in time, so it shut off. Now, I've tried everything that I have before, and also took it to a repair shop, but never got any life out of it again. Does anyone have any ideas about whats wrong? Is it fixable? I've also herd of a type of USB jig for Samsung phones that can put an unresponsive phone into 'download mode', is there some kind of equivalent of that for the DNA? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

It's your recovery. Try the most recent twrp instead. I've had this issue with my rezound and DNA and it's scary for sure. If you find a way to power on your device immediately change recoveries. Some are touchy on charging a dead phone.

Would maybe trying to charge the battery outside of the phone work? If so, how would I go about that? A friend of mine has a Lipo charger for RC cars, could I make some kind of jig to charge the DNA's battery with that?
EDIT: Found out he has a supper high end lipo charger that is programmable, so could I charge it with that if I can get the battery hooked up right?

You could to irreversible damage to the battery if you do the settings wrong, or hook it up incorrectly. You can get a replacement battery online for pretty cheap. I suggest that than possibly having a small explosion from charging a battery in a way not suggested. After you get the phone back on, immediately fastboot flash a different recovery as @iHateWebOS said.
New batteries come half charged (40-60%) out of the box as that is the suggested storage capacity for batteries to ensure long shelf life.

Okay, just ordered a new battery, should be here between the 10th and the 20th. Hopefully this works
HOLY ****, IT WORKED!!!!!! My DNA booted!!! Thanks so much guys!!!! Which recovery would you guys recommend?
EDIT: So I flashed on twrp, and it won't charge with the original battery in it, so does that mean if the new battery dies, my phone won't boot again? If so, which recovery should I flash to prevent that?
Okay, update. So I tried updating my DNA to the latest snapshot of Cyanogen mod (was at m6, going to m11), and the recovery failed, so now I'm soft-bricked... I'm trying to flash on the old m6 snapshot I have on it, but it keeps failing. Also, the recovery won' t support external storage, so I can't flash on m11 from my flash drive... What should I do?
EDIT: Okay, just found out that I was running the 2.4 beta of twrp, so I'm trying the latest 2.8.0.2, Ima see if that does anything
EDIT: YAY, flashing the latest recovery worked!! so now everything is working properly, except the digitizer, since I ripped the ribbon cable a little, but I already ordered a new one
Okay, so I accidentally let the battery drain, and now I'm at square 1 again. Does anyone have the pin-out schematics for the battery on the DNA so I can make a jig to charge it?
Thanks!
