This is now happening on my replacement phone! I got the first phone replaced because it wasn't charging but now it's happening again on the replacement. It seems to only happen when the battery gets to 20% or lower. When it does this, it doesn't matter if it is USB or wall charging. I have been able to get the new phone to charge now twice by rebooting - one time it took three reboots. The first time it happened on my first phone the battery widget stuck on 50% and I didn't get the low battery warning and the battery went to 0 before I knew it and it took forever to begin charging again. I've been on different battery modes when it happens, so that isn't causing it.
I've mentioned this on a couple other threads and there's been others that responded it happened to them, so I thought I'd start a thread on this in case Motorola is monitoring this forum (they better be). Anyone else chime in here so we can get a feel for how widespread this may be.
Just let mine go down to 20 plugged up and its charging but im only on day one

Have you tried doing a hard reset and letting the phone sit for 20 minutes. It could be some kind of bug. I know mine had some force closes on the first day. I did a hard reset from recovery and let the phone sit at first boot. Then did a reboot and have had no problems since.
Master reset for photon 4g.

I did a factory reset on the first phone and that didn't change this problem.
I haven't seen this problem on my phone. Best thing to do is report it to the Motorola forums and have them look at it especially if many others are experiencing the same issue.
In the mean time, you possibly could have another bad unit. Not sure why it would not charge when the battery hits 20% or lower. Also what battery widget are you using?

Good idea on the Moto forums. I have tried Battery Monitor widget, Circle Battery widget and Battery Notifier (big text) widget. No one widget was in use or installed for every instance I had a battery charge problem, but I guess it may be more than one widget with potential interferences. Has anyone else been using any of these widgets and not experienced this problem?
@Beartrap
What battery widgets etc have you installed? Sounds like a compatability issue with something that was installed. Try using the phone completely stock with no custom widgets installed. If you can get the phone back to stock out of box condition that would be the best way to troubleshoot this problem. I doubt it's another bad phone.

I agree it's not a bad phone, but some bug either in the phone or installed app/widget. I'd like to know what battery widgets people are using that haven't had this issue so I know what's safe.
Not exactly related to battery widgets but i have noticed that Estrong's, Astro and File Expert file managers do not work correctly on my Photon. They don't show the full capacity of my 16gb sd card and they also don't show all the files in my download folder. So I'm thinking theirs going to be more incompatability issues with this phone until app developers get some updates rolled out for this phone.
As for battery widgets, i don't use them. I use the stock battery ifo that is included with the Photon. Sorry I can't give any help with that. but I'm pretty sure the widgets in the Android Market will not be fully compatible with the Photon. Uninstall everything you installed from the market and use your phone for a day or so and see how it acts.
I'm having the same issue, i'm not using any sorta battery widget/app, just stock(non-rooted).
Its been charging for about 4 hours today and went from 20% to 30% and its hot, really hot.
I've had it since day one and seems to match what the OP is saying about once it goes below 20-30% it has a hard time charging but like i mentioned before, mine gets toasty when its failing at charging.
Also had an issue while streaming from google music beta, went from 100 to 20% in <2 hours and once again it was hot as the devil's **** then it wouldn't charge.

I did fail to mention that each time I did notice the back of the phone was pretty warm but not what I'd consider real hot. The third time this happened (on second phone), I cooled it down to room temperature and it still wouldn't charge.

Well it got hotter the my evo 4g ever did after flashing many roms and kernels and what not and even hotter the my pre minus when simultaneously charging and tethering. Havent had a phone get that hot before, i'll try to get a temp reading when it happens again.
Just pulled the battery little while ago and it started charging again. Seems to be hit or miss with the restarts and battery pulls the get the thing going.
I havent tried just turning it off and letting it charge past 30% yet, to see if it only does it when it on vs. when it off.
It's happened again. I was running speedtest.net repeatedly to test my radios and my battery temp climbed up to 118F. I checked if the phone would charge periodically and it did until the battery got less than 30%. It seems to be this combination that causes the malfunction. I rebooted and it charged fine, but the temp also fell to 115F, so I don't know if it was the reboot or lower temp, but at least now I know how to get it to recharge and not run th and it always charged, battery down to 0.
I tried to make this happen the other night by running quadrant repeatedly, but temps never went above 115. It always charged that night, so 115-118 is the magic number together with <30% battery.
BTW - our radios may kickass, but they also generate a lot of heat, so be on the alert to high battery temps when hitting the radios hard.
My first Photon had the problem where the battery went from 50% to DEAD immediately. I remember one time the phone was red hot to the touch right before it died, it was just idling. It wouldn't accept charge until I removed and replaced the battery.
My replacement Photon doesn't have the problem (yet) or any of the first Photon's problems. I am convinced there is a bad batch of Photons out there.
Unfortunately I'm on my second photon. I exchanged the first for this reason.
Do any of you happen to use a case with a magnet in it? I've only had this happen twice and both times it was in a case. Now it doesn't happen.

I am using the black Sprint case, but there's no magnet in it. I do think the case may aggrevate the heat buildup so if I hit it hard again and feel it getting warm, I'll be sure to remove the case.

This theory just got shot down. I hooked up the USB charging cable at 62% and 84F and it wouldn't charge. The phone recognized the connection and displayed the message it was in charge mode, but the battery in the notification bar didn't show it was charging nor did battery monitor widget. I then connected it to the OEM wall charger and cable and nothing. I rebooted and no change. I shutdown the phone and hooked it up to AC and it went into charge mode. I then booted and it's going into charge mode as it should. I'm back to square one again.

That doesn't matter, you have every right to exchange it 283892 times until you get one that works. within the 30 days, It is in our contract. Not sure why people don't understand this. It doesn't matter where you get it, what store you get it from, Sprint, Best Buy, Radio ****, bob's electronics supply..you can get it exchanged. Personally, I wouldn't have even hesitated nor made this post, I would have just exchanged it.
Then made this post to say what happened to a photon I used to have. lol
EDIT: People need to speak up and let companies understand that you just won't settle. I come across customers everyday that just settle. I work for Comcast, talk to customers daily about things. I get, oh yea and then our internet sucks, and this doesn't work and oh yea this broke and we don't get this channel but we pay for it. My first question is, "Did you call?"....their answer, "Call who?"..or just "No". LOL I'm like, how the hell do you think stuff will get fixed if no one knows you have any problems? haha
You are the consumer, you have a lot of rights to the product you paid money for.
This is a great phone, but like all electronics some stores might get a bad shipment, it happens.
Good Luck with whatever you choose to do.
I have exchanged mine 2 times, 1 had a messed up screen, the other 1 had some problem that I couldn't make calls. So far this one is good to go! The Charm

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.
is my firt time handling motorlas, but in Samsung's there a way to make a fresh install if something happens.

Hi there.
I've got a really irritating problem with my vibrant. I can not get my battery level to budge off of 100%. The indicator won't change at all and when the battery is finally exhausted, it just shuts down.
The problem started this week, and I've had my vibrant since November 2011. Since March I've had some odd battery issues here and there. This one really takes the cake though.
Here is a list of things that I've tried
-rebooted (43x+)
-cleared battery stats-both with apps, cwm, and manually
-ODIN'd back to stock twice
-tried different batteries
-turned phone off and charged
-tried different chargers
-tried different roms- I've been on CM9, ICZEN, and some Froyo ROMs
What else could I try, I'm running out of ideas here?
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Hur hur. Funny guys.
Most battery apps just report the data that the system is giving them, so since my system is telling the phone that its at 100%, the battery apps just do the same. Right? Are there any you know of that take their own measurements?
I'm not sure where or who I'd return the phone to. Its pretty old at this point. Warranty repair is probably out of the question.
Would anyone upload a batterystats.bin file for me. Could that jog my system into reporting something different? I want my vibrant to be back to its normal self!

oh true, didnt think of that, and not that i know of
riight, thats a shame. i guess you wouldn't have any friends that do phone repair?
unfortunately i sold my vibrant awhile ago and bought an evo 3d, so sorry i can't do that
i'm really not sure what you could do, perhaps sell it and buy another phone? thats probably what i'd do after trying what you have already
Thanks for the input anyhow, it was a good idea.
Things have been looking grim for this Vibrant so I bought another one off of the 'bay to replace it. Still messing with it to see if I can find a solution to the problem. Everything below is a poorly worded mess but read on if you're bored or are having a similar issue.
When I'd boot up the phone with a (discharged) battery installed, it would immediately say its charged, and stop trying to charge the battery. This was super frustrating because I'd have to charge with the phone off to actually get any charging done. This morning I tried something different...
The phone will sit at 100% and then just suddenly die, so just now I had used up all the battery, it died, then I booted it up again with the charger plugged, just so I could get to the lockscreen. I unplugged it and waited patiently (like a ninja) for it to suddenly drop to zero(and start the shutdown procedure). At the second it did, I connected the charger and the phone shut off anyway. Then it went to the phone off screen with the giant battery icon. However, THIS time, the icon didn't just instantly report that the phone was charged, instead it showed a very low battery like it should. Half an hour later, the battery icon shows slightly more charge. My phone hasn't done this in a long time, and I think its a good sign. I'm going to let it charge like this and see if I can't get it to start cycling the battery properly again.
So no solid info yet. Just trying to see if I can revive my phones battery management. At least the phone still works fine besides the battery issue.

Alright, so that little trick that I tried (plugging in the charger right as it hits 0%) gets you one proper charge. It doesn't fix anything. As I used the phone after this, it had moments of working well, but would spike from 60% to 100% then back to 1% and so on until it actually dies. Weeeeelllllllshiiiittttt, at least my new phone is showing up soon haha.
Hi,
I am very new to the Android world. Got a SGH-i777 from AT&T in US in February 2012 and had to move back to India in June. I got the unlock code from AT&T and used the device for 2 months without issues here on the local network.
Yesterday, the phone showed me a critically low battery message all of a sudden (I had fully charged it the night before) and turned off. When connected to the charger, I get the image of the battery with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it.
Thinking it may be a battery issue, I took it to a local Samsung repair center and he tried using a working battery in it, but still got the same image. He suggested that it may be a motherboard isssue.
Please help !!! I am still in the AT&T contract.

Just a thought. There are a lot of non-nfc batteries around. Are you sure the person at the repair center used the proper battery. The I777 must have an nfc battery. Worth checking out. May still just be the battery failing.
I guess you continue charging it. Are you on a stock rom?

Hmmm, I am not sure which battery he used. Will try a long continuous charge first and if it doesn't work will take it back to the repair center and check if he has an NFC battery. I hope it is just a battery problem and nothing more serious. Thanks for your reply.
An update: I charged the battery for the entire night and got a 100% charged indication in the morning. But when I disconnected the charger and tried to turn on the phone, I have the same issue. I still get the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark.
But this time around, I was able to enter the recovery mode by pressing the Volup+VolDwn+power key and I rebooted the phone from the recovery screen and it worked fine. I am able to run the downloaded apps, make calls etc.
Now, I notice 2 new things:
1) Every time I turn the phone off or when it turns off automatically (which it does very frequently since today), it doesnt restart normally. I have to enter the recovery mode to reboot the phone and make it operational
2) When the phone is turned on and when I charge it, no matter how long I charge, the charge percentage shows 78% always.I guess the only time I get a full 100% charge indication is when the phone is turned off and then charged.
All this is leading me to believe that there might be a problem in the battery. If the phone operates properly from the recovery mode, I guess there is no issue with the mother board. Any ideas?? Please suggest.
I can make some observations. Please bear in mind that anything I say is speculation, basically guess work.
From your description, it sounds like a problem with the battery charging circuitry. It doesn't sound like just the battery itself, but that is the easiest thing to test, by getting a new or at least different battery and trying it.
As far as the battery circuitry, it could be either a hardware failure problem, or a firmware problem. Are you still running stock firmware or have you customized the phone? And which firmware version does it have? If I had the phone, I would reflash the stock firmware to see if the charging issue clears up. If that didn't fix the issue, then I would suspect some form of hardware failure.

Is that something common? I have had an extended battery for about a week with no issues. As far as I know, it does not have intergrated NFC antenna (or chip...seems a subject of debate whether or not stock batter contains just the antenna or chip too). Anyway, I bought the batterny knowing the feature wasn't there. Unless by some fluke a tthe time of order I happened to get an updated version of the battery, but I seriously doubt it as there is not any indication on the battery itself that it does, aside from having 4 prongs. Which leads me to believe with the right materials I can create my own antenna and slap it on there....assuming people are wring with the whole chip thing. Just thought I'd mention since I don't have NFC and don't have that problem...and now curious as to why you suspect it for affect battery charge and the sort.
i didn't find anyone having the same problem, so i'm sorry if there is.
Hello,
So when my battery percentage hits ~35%, it starts to drain really fast, it goes to ~13% in around 3minutes.
Then, when it hits 10~13% it stops, then it drains slow... then it goes to 0% and it shutdowns, can't turn it on, can't do nothing.
Only if i plug the charger, let it charge for 5minutes, it goes back to ~35%

yes, my phone is rooted, but that isn't the issue, i got that problem before rooting my phone.
the battery shouldn't be the issue, the phone isn't even 1 year old.
i still have warranty, i have some agreement with the company, 'cause it gave me fake information, so they should repair my rooted phone.
is there a way to repair this issue? or should i go to the warranty?
I don't think they will be happy about the fact that your phone is rooted.

well, i asked them, can i root it?, they said yes, of course.
And i have proof of that, the mail.
after 30minutes, i already rooted it, they replied again, "we're sorry you can't root it now"
and we came to an agreement that they have the responsibility for it.

Strange, but well, nevermind.
Have you tried to calibrate your battery? Some people say their Battery life was much longer when they did this.

if calibrate the battery means, downloading that program, charging to 100%, press calibrate, discharging to 0% and back to 100%, whats what i just did.
but , it jumped from 35% to 10% so, i don't think it really worked.
