At this point I'm not necessarily looking for any help, but would still be interested in anyone else's similar experience.
My phone has stock JB, rooted but unlocked.
Last night I set my phone on the nightstand with around 80% battery. Didn't have any reason to touch it until around 11:30am, at which time I pressed the lock button and got no immediate response. Tried holding down the button for a while, then, thinking maybe the battery had somehow run down completely overnight, plugged in the charger (Kindle Fire charger which I always have used) and held down the button until I got the LG logo and then the charging icon, at which point I powered it up.
It was at 50% battery when it booted up, which was kind of odd, and even weirder, it said it was slow charging, which it should not have been from this charger. I unplugged and plugged the charger in and it started charging normally. When I checked the battery history graph, it showed a normal discharge and then an instant drop from around that 80% level to just under 50% at the time I rebooted. So it had been alive all night, just unresponsive to being unlocked for some reason.

so every once in a while, i'd say every 4 or 5 days... i'll take my phone off the charger and start my day like normal. but on these days, (sometimes i notice and do a hard reset before all this happens) the upper half of the phone will get really warm and even if i do absolutely nothing on my phone, my battery will drain from full to dead in 3-4 hours.
has anyone else noticed this? i'm thinking it may be some sort of cpu cycle leak or some sort of infinite loop some background driver might get itself into.
its pretty annoying if i dont catch it right away and an hour after i unplug my phone while i'm at work to take my phone out of my pocket and have it over half battery gone already.

I have noticed the 'staying warm after charging sometimes' phenomenon....I also sometimes leave it charging all night but it doesn't seem to charge, even though the light is on. I think this is somehow connected to the wonky power button behavior...I get a green light on full charge sometime....i've never seen it turned green while powered off.....sometimes it won't turn on while plugged in, sometimes I need to do a battery pull, sometimes the SD card too, sometimes I need to press the power button a million times or hold it extra extra long....sometimes the charging light doesn't come on and it does charge, sometimes the light comes on and it doesn't...sometimes it gets really hot after charging and doesn't cool down after sitting idle....I usually just shut it off for a minute and turn it back on...somehow.
This is definitely one of my pet peeves with this phone...I also think this is linked to some phones never turning back on again, corrupted bootloader/recovery after a 'fastboot' shut-down or hot restart...
I'm diggin' the phone, don't get me wrong, but....I can't wait for the nPrime...
yeah, but it's less so the problem of it getting warm (pre or post charging) and moreso that it will start heating up a lot and you can tell that something is running the battery down in the background, the only way to stop this is to do a battery pull restart.
has anyone had similar issues with their phone going from full battery to dead in a few hours because of a hidden bugged process or something similar?
bump 10 char
I had that happen after tuning airplane mode off then back on. But that's itt

This happened to me this morning, first time and it was very weird. I've left it charging overnight per usual and this morning when I woke up and unplugged it, it had only 10% battery left. I tried charging it in my car on my way to work and have it plugged in to my computer USB now. I disabled a bunch of stuff as shown on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141221
And it's now starting to charge.
I did however just update to showdown rom and had setcpu on 1.7 conservative. It still should have charged but I'm guessing a stuck process/bug drew all the power last night.
I've had my Atrix since March 17th. Last night I put it into my back pocket fully functional (screen locked, battery at 30%) and when I pulled it out again 20 minutes later, the screen was off and the green LED light was just on solid.
I have a 2nd battery for my phone as well as a wall charger for that battery. I've had experiences with fully drained batteries, so I waited until my second battery was fully charged off that wall charger, and traded the battery out for the full one. It does the same thing. It does the same thing without a battery but plugged directly into the wall as well.
It won't even get to the Moto splash screen to allow me to get into Fastboot.
Any ideas? Is it completely hosed?
I've had KIND OF a similar experience. What worked for me was removing the battery from the phone, leaving it out for a full minute, then putting it back in. When I booted it up I held in the down volume + power to get into fastboot, and it booted up the proper screen.
If you can't get it into fastboot (or recovery for that matter) I can't imagine what options you have. Just let it sit overnight without any battery in it and try in the morning. Sometimes the phone shuts off automatically as a safety feature due to heat, moisture, etc. Maybe it was set off. Sorry, that's the best advice I got right now.

So I took the prime of its box, plugged it into the wall and tried turning it on. When I did, the Android battery indicator screen showed up. The battery was in the red, about a quarter the way up. I've since called Asus about the issue, and they told me to charge it for about an hour. I've done that, and still it doesn't work. It still boots into the same screen. It won't even go into recovery if I hold volume- and power for 10 seconds, just back to the battery screen. I feel like maybe I'M doing something wrong here. Any ideas, guys?

it's gotta charge. mine did that too and i was freaking out. apparently not all tablets are charged. It took about 10 minutes to finally get it to boot up.
If you charge it and it still doesnt...then it might be time to ..worry
I'm only worried because it's been charging for an hour and still just goes to the battery screen, shutting off immediately after. I'll let it charge for a few hours and if it still doesn't work I'll just have to call Asus.
Whoa sorry to hear this.When i plugged mine in it started booting up & went to the home screen.It had 21% battery left on it.So i shut it down & letting it charge the full 8 hours that's recommended before even using the device.I hope yours works.
Make sure the charging light is on
where's the charging light?
its built into the power on button. a tiny little orange led
It's not coming on. When I plug the tablet in, it recognizes that it's plugged in and vibrates, tries to turn onamd fails.
Make sure it is plugged in all the way in the tablet.. and then wait a bit. you must use the wall charger.
It has been plugged all the way into the tablet with the wall charger :-/
Dang! Sorry to hear this. if it doesn't come on within the hour id say just exchange it. it might bea faculty unit. it should have enough juice to boot up by now considering if you charging it properly. Good luck. wish it was working for you because this is a great device.
I am having the same problem too when I first plugged it in the battery indicator screen came on real fast and turned off the orange charging light came on and turned off.I tried plugging into the computer it does nothing diffrent.I think it might bricked.
okay. i just got my primetoday, same deal. it doesn't start, tried to reset, etc. i finally charged it for a while, after a while, it finally boots. at that point it was at the 15% battery life mark.
seems a bit odd.... i would wait and see.. if its game stop they would of had games installed on it.
I just got mine today...woot!!! But the issue that u have happened to me also what it happened was a faulty charger

I tested the charger on my phone and it worked. I plugged into the tablet and pressed the power button the led came on and blinked and turned off quickly.I think the battery needs a good charge.
I had to charge mine until the battery indicator was green before it would turn on. Said in the manual to fully charge before using for the first time... so maybe it doesn't let you start up until charged?
Well after 3 hours of charging it finaly started up but the battery level was low 3% showing that tells me the battery had no charge in it.Well I am happy that it is working and hopefully no other problems show up.
Good to hear
Same exact thing happened to me, lol. Mine arrived with zero charge and I just let it sit for about an hour plugged in and all was well.

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.

Hello, recently my phone was having some serious battery life issues. It started with just draining fast, then it would turn off prematurely at 10%, then 20%, then 50%, then it would basically not run without a charging cable. My fix was to just plug in a power bank and keep it like that, and it was working fine for a while. Then I noticed it wouldn't charge with the stock charger. I would plug it in, worked for a few minutes, get to 100%, turn off, then go down to ~95% and die. So I was only using it with my power bank.
Today, I plugged it in as usual, and it just started doing a bootloop. Then it just turned off and refused to work! It won't power on with neither the original charger or the powerbank. Add insult to injury, there's this tiny LED notification light I had never seen before that's blinking. Now it's not blinking any more. I just plugged in the powerbank and NOW it looks like it's working. Oh no, was too optimistic, it's back at the rebooting thing. It's just the first screen for 5-15 seconds, goes black, then repeats. God I hate this phone,
So now it's next to me just powering on and off. Please help, I would appreciate it greatly!
It's probably that your battery is just done. I had similar issues to you. My battery would drop a percent a minute or less while in use, and was shutting down at 50 percent or so.
I just got the battery replaced and it's back to how it was new. I had a z2 play that was laggy and likely had freezing issues due to minor water damage. I'm so much happier with my newly refurbished Z. It's just a much better and smoother phone, period.
The batteries are like 10 bucks. Just need someone to install it. The Moto z battery replacement is rated difficult, so I wouldn't attempt a DIY unless you're an experienced phone repair person. :good:
Good luck!
Yes battery is SNAFU, ie. normal Motorola's quality control.
I have the wireless charging mod, that causes similar boot loop when placed on charger.
Great when you have pattern to proceed boot security and your alarm fails in morning.
I am about to cremate this POS phone and all its mods once my Sony cheap interim phone arrives.. will not even consider supporting the Motorola eco system by selling on eBay.
