Dear Members,
Couple of months back, my phone suddenly started showing the charging icon on top, without even being plugged into the charger. But when charger connected, the icon used to dis-appear.
It kept on making sound of connecting and dis-connecting. I formatted it. It happened quite a few times over weeks. Last month, it started showing Yellow Triangle, with exclamation mark on it i.e. not charging. And when connected to the charger, it used to shut down.
I formatted it, but no benefit. Sometimes, it was charging and at others, it was not.
I took it to the technician, but after checking, he told that it is battery problem. But, even new battery was having the same problem. Technician changed the USP pin point (USB hub) on the top of the phone, and was charging perfectly at his work-shop. But, the same thing (Yellow Triangle) popping up, and shutting down, when connected to the charger. I again took it to the same technician, but to my surprise, it was charging fine at his work-shop.
I have tried quite a few chargers (A/C and USB), but unable to charge my phone.
Please help.
Correction.

I have already bought external universal charger, and through it, I am able to charge my battery.
But that doesn't make sense, as it needs me to take my battery out of the phone, charge it, and place it back in the phone.

Hi Guys,
First of all appologies if this is the wrong section.Well my phone is acting wierd it charges when connected to pc but doesnt charge when connected to the wall charger.
This all started a few days back when my phone rapidly was charging/loosing connectivity when connected to wall charger,the problem got solved automatically in a few days.
Now the charger just doesnt charge the phone but the animation of charging can still be seen.
Just for the info i tried charging the phone with phone switched off i can see an exclamation mark besides the charging battery logo.
The confusing part is the battery charges well when connected to pc.
So i wanted to know what could be the reason before taking it to service centre as my warranty period is over.
Help appreciated.

And you tried another wall charger? Just to make sure yours is not broken
Hello, i've a small Problem with my brand new Lumia 920...
yesterday i got it from postal service, after installing everything the battery got empty... ok no problem... pluged in the charger, i know from my HD7 that it could take a few minutes that the phones charges a bit before next boot...
but the lumia 920 didn't boot also not after about 1 hour on charger...
i just see the nokia messages then a small flicker line on the bottom of the screen and then it resets (i know it resets because the recognized devices, nokia bootloader and another one, by windows disapears)
and the "empty red" battery symbol apears with a charger sign when plugged in (whats normally be total normal) when trying to boot without charger then just the "empty red" battery symbol apears!!
when on charger, after the batterysymbol, i can see that the display isn't turning off, just showing black but has some light on it... definitly not that black when the phone is turned off completely...
yesterday i tried a few button combinations... plugin with volume down, shows a flash on the screen... after that the phones boots normally..
today i ran out again of battery, but now nothing helps...
anyone got this issue too?? any tip what i can try or do??
are you using the original charger?
The 920 needs high current charger in order to charge normally.
yeah i had this to about a week ago, just sit it on charge for a long long time with the stock charger. mine took probably 4-5 hours, then hit the on button and it came on (still saying it was flat, but turned on at least). havent had the issue since.
Edit: also, are you running stock rom? just wondering as im on flashed portico and i literally just saw another bloke with the portico update complaing of the same thing... which has me wondering if its firmware or something else..
Hello,
i guess i have the portico update allready...
my carrier released the phones 3 weeks ago...
i'm on 8.0.10211.204
1232.5951.1249.1002
i'm using of course the original charger that have come with the phone...
as it looks like it really takes many hours... so as yesterday on mine... i tried everthing... than i decided to let it alone... after watching TV the phone rings sometimes about a new message... !? wtf.... i will try next time when the battery rans out to just let it on the charger a few hours without trying to press some button combinations or disconnect and reconnect a few times ...
but i'm pretty sure this has something todo with that, that the screenlight is still on when on charger and this batterysymbol w charger icon apears or better said than disapears...
i thing the display still drains current and so the charge take longer to have the minium charge for boot... ?!
I have the same problem after I flashed it to portico
my phone still charging for 1 hour to start up & when it done the battery was 6%
ok, no i've changed my response, my phone went flat yesterday about 7am (perth time), its been on charge since, and no boot. (what am i up to? 27 hours?) ive tried different chargers (my Qi wireless charger, stock charger, random microusb charger), even tried different wall sockets. stressful....
Edit: sent back to nokia. apparently its bricked. also, holding the volume down button and plugging in the charger is meant to display an explanation mark while the phone is switched off. the person i spoke to at Nokia asked me to do this, but mine didnt display anything, thats when she decided it was bricked. i wonder if its anything to do with flashing the custom firmware... apart from this issue, the rom felt very stable.
I have a stock ATT HTC One that seems to have a ghost in it. I received this unit with a completely dead battery and after charging several days it finally started. The battery only showed about 30% charge but it was enough for me to install and test a sim card. Everything worked fine so I shut it down and forgot about it. Recently I picked it up again and charged it. I have it showing 83% on the battery but it will shut down within a minute of reaching the lock screen after start up. It does this no matter what I am doing with the phone. I tried plugging it in to my computer USB and it immediately shuts down and won't restart until I unplug it. Before this when it was working it would show a discharge status once it was plugged in to USB but my computer would recognize it and the phone recognized my computer. If I turned off the phone while plugged in it would flash the red LED and then it would glow steadily until it was unplugged. A battery check indicated that the battery was taking a charge at this time I would really appreciate any direction or suggestions as to what to try yo fix this
Thanks in advance and I really want to thank everyone who does all the great work here.

I have only read one other issue like this and it ended in the phone being sent back to HTC, the partition table was corrupt if i remember right.

Hi, I saw your problem with your HTC One and it's the same problem that I'm having. Can you tell me the cable and charger you used to charge your phone? I've had it plugged in for 12 hours now and all it does is flash the red led. what does the led look like when it's actually charging? I'm suspecting that i'm using the wrong usb cable and charger.
Thanks,
It's supposed to be solid red when charging. Solid green when fully charged

Hello,
I have a really weird problem with my phone for several months now. I use Zenfone 5, and my warranty is probably void already, but I could not use it anyhow (it is in a different country). I tried contacting the official support, but they just said to send it in for a check up, which I could not at the time, and cannot now either.
The problem started when I plugged in my phone in my car using third party car charger. It worked with other phones with no problems, and the output should be OK. When I plugged it in, the light on the charger went off, and the phone turned itself off without any notification. I tried to power the phone on with no success. It just vibrated, and remained off. Later I disassembled the charger and found out that the safety fuse has melted.
I went to my house and plugged the phone in, and it turned on. But the problem was, and remained to this day, that the phone thinks it is charging even when it is not plugged in. The phone charges normally, and battery life is ok, the phone normally goes into deep sleep mode.
The phone won't power up without charger, and the USB OTG obviously doesn't work. But there are some curious things about this problem.
When I took my phone apart and disconnected the battery for 30 minutes (it is non-removable), after I connected it back, the phone turned itself on (without the charger), until I tried to charge it, then it went back to only powering on while on charger. The constant charging thing, nevertheless, remained all the time.
Sometimes when I plug in the cheap USB OTG converter, the phone stops charging notification. When I unplug it, it goes back to charging.
I have no clue what could be the problem, and which part (the usb board or the battery) could be faulty.
I also tried hard reset a few times, with no success.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Bump? Anyone? Any clue?
Is there any way to change kernel so it doesn't register charging if there is no current flowing to the phone?
And which type of battery connector is this?

I recently picked up this galaxy s6 edge from a friend that upgraded to a new phone. It won't turn on, neither to android recovery, nor to download mode nor the android. I charged it via wireless charging overnight and i tried for around an hour with a usb cable. What do i do?
same issue i am facing, i tried original charger, wireless charger and fast chargers from many different brands. but all failed. The device only gets warm/hot while charging and nothing happens. neither download mode nor recovery mode works. I am kind pf stuck without any solution, my device was used very rarely and its like an brand new device. Doesn't know what to do, if you find any solution then please let me know too. thanks in advance
Same problem. If I press power button very long, blue light comes on. Then it's stuck and stays like this until battery is flat. Battery charging is not possible: device heats up (tried USB and Qi), but battery doesn't take any charge.
So I opened the S6 and checked the battery directly. I can charge it directly with a lab power supply and when I plug it in and press power button, the blue notification light comes on again until battery is empty again. I can also see that only ICs get hot, but not the battery when plugging in USB.
So, it's definitely some hardware fault. I suspect power IC that is not able to power up the screen. But I don't know. I will investigate further but it looks difficult. However, I have seen many YouTube videos with same symptoms, but problem was always different than mine :/
Hi guys,
This thread is 2 months old, any of you managed to fix the problem?
I am having very similar problem. My phone was on a shelf for about a year and a half. Before now it was working perfectly. Now I can't charge it via USB or power adapter. When trying to power it up or get into download or recovery mode, nothing happens. Computer does not see it. Tried different cables, USB ports, power adapters..nothing.
The only thing that is happening to the phone is the battery logo appears when trying to charge it, though the green bar does not go over battery, only the empty grey battery with lightning icon in the middle. Also the screen does not go dark after a few seconds as it should and the red/blue LED does not turn on.
Is this the signal from the phone, that the battery is to deeply dischareged and cannot be charged again? I am googling all over the web and can't find anybody talking about what phone does in case of to low voltage on battery.
PS back does not seem to be bloated, USB port was working perfectly last time used
Please try to help, you are my last stop before opening the phone and start probing the poop out of motherboard to see what gave.
EDIT: something interesting happened just about an hour after my post. The battery suddenly started showing % of charge and the green bar started running, computer recognized the phone.. as everything should be.
My FIX: leave the phone pluged in and charging for about 3days and it will start working again.
My semi professional explenation of fix and problem: the phone has a ''backup or reserve'' battery. It is actually main battery but the last I think I read somewhere it is 20% of capacity, is reserved for phone exclusively for the clock and all other electronics that need power when switched off. Now these 20% probably were discharged due to laying around for almost 2 years.
It took me 3 days of charging to fill up these ''20%'' I guess. Probably because Lithium batteries are charged VERY slow at very start and end. This is safty procedure for ALL Li batteries.
If any expert can confirm my conclusion please do so, to help other people.
To answer partialy to my question: The phone tells you battery is ''deep'' discharged when you only see the charge icon without the green bar.
In the mean time I was writing this edit I came up to 4% battery and turned it on!
