So I use wireless charging every night when I go to bed. Three times since I have owned the phone I have woken up late, my alarm not having gone off, and the LED notification light is on just continuously cycling between all the colors. I have to reboot the phone to get it to stop. Like I said, has only happened three times, but just since I started wireless charging. One of the times was prior to rooting, so that is not the issue. Anyone else had this problem?
I'm not sure what is causing your troubles. I am also rooted and wireless charge every night. Maybe your charger doesn't have a high enough amp rating. Or you may be loosing power in a long cord. I haven't had any trouble with mine. Good luck
Maybe the phone is overheating. The G3 has overheating paranoia, and can act really strange when it gets hot.

It is warm some times when I take it off the charger, but never really hot. I will try a different USB cable, and maybe a new charging pad and see if that makes a difference. But wouldn't it just shut down if it got too hot?

I rem in the past when I tried a Qi pad (kind of like the insert our G3's have) and it didnt line up 100%, it caused weird issues. Are you using a pad that you switched out for your NFC stock one? Or did you buy a complete back with it?

I bought the replacement back with it built in. I have a slim case on the phone. It's just weird to me because it only happens occasionally.

Which Qi do you have? I have the TYLT and not had any issues. I have read others saying they have issues with the TYLT knock off and some other randoms, so maybe you have one of those?
I know its hard to try and figure random things out, so hang in there buddy.

No, I bought this off of EBay:

*Update
So I disabled Tasker (I had it set up to disable wifi and mobile data when wireless charging and when between the hours of 10:00 and 6:00) and I am no longer having issues with the phone being warm in the morning when I take it off the charger. Is it possible that this is a Tasker issue (as far as the flashing unresponsive LED) and if so, anyone know why or how to fix it? And I was definitely using Tasker prior to rooting as well.

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

Hey there,
I have my Vibrant for a good year now since it came out pretty much. Last week it just stopped charging out the blue. The battery is completely empty and shows a thermometer with a warning sign and stops charging seconds after its plugged in. So I assumed it might be a battery malfunction and I got my spare battery in as soon as I came home and tried charging - same problem. I think it is highly unlikely that both batteries fail at the same time. Therefore, I assume there is something wrong with the temp sensor in the phone. I saw a few people have a similar problem with the epic 4G, but the discussion got really side tracked by other issues. My phone is rooted, but I was running stock froyo, so that shouldn't be the problem or should it?
I just wanna know if anybody had the same problems and if there is a quick solution, I google and forum searched a while but as soon as you throw in the term battery it gets spammed with battery life discussions.I just checked my files I have on the phone, apparently I have the premium insurance - does that mean I just can go to the next Tmo store and get a replacement? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Phill
Well for your problem, i suggest you try a different rom and see if the problem persists... maybe its a bug
And as for insurance, you mail the phone in and pay a deductible, which should be like 135$ or so. They send you a refurb.. or if you say it wus lost, you dont have to mail in phone

thanks for the quick reply. Is there a way to reflash without a battery?
I don't see it as a bad thing. If your phone gets too hot and keeps charging that's going to burn something inside. When my phone won't charge I know I have let it down. So it can cool down. But to fix your problem reboot the phone. You can keep charging it after it boots up

Mine did something similar. I picked it up after putting it on the charger. It was hot and would not come on. I unplugged it and let it cool off for a while and it cleared up.
I got that message once...
Vibrant was in a car dock, with power.
It was *HOT* out and sun was hitting the back of the unit. (A/C on of course)
Google Navigation was running (display brightness max)
Google Listen was running
Bluetooth was passing music to a speakerphone
When I run the phone with that setup, the charger can't even keep up with the phone power needs. The battery level slowly drops. No question the phone is working hard.
This was a true heat issue... I removed the charger and turned off the display to let it cool off a bit. (I was almost home).
So the question again, is your phone hot or is it a false reading?
Robert
Hey,
I am sorry I didn't clarify the actual battery temp. It is normal - so its neither in the sun or in a too cold spot when I try charging it. The phone probably runs for one for a few seconds before turning off so there is no chance of the battery stats wipe. I think I will try to find an external charger and try to charge the batteries this way to have enough juice for flashing a new rom. Thanks for all the replies!
Does it charge the battery with the phone off? If not, I don't think a new ROM will help.
Hey there! Wondering if you got around to solving this. I've got a Vibrant doing the same exact thing. Battery being cool it sais that is overheating. Did changing the ROM solved it or not?

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but a resolution never seemed to be made here. Has anybody found a fix to this?
As of yesterday, my wife is having the same issue with my old Vibrant phone which she now uses. It's flashed with Bionix V 1.3.1 and Tigerblood overclock to 1.2ghz. This could be the issue, the Tiger Blood overclock, but I'm not sure. I'm out of the country for three weeks and currently she's left with a dud of a phone that keeps giving her the temperature warning in the triangle when plugged in while the phone is powered off followed by it stop charging. When she turns it on, she gets to the SD card check and then the phone completely freezes. Once in a while it's able to stay on for a minute or so before freezing, but more often than not the phone does not fully turn on and just goes frozen after a few seconds, sometimes at the Tigerblood logon screen before making it to the desktop. Me being 4000 miles away doesn't make it easier to help her but I've recommended she leave the phone unplugged, battery out for the night to see what happens. I also told her to take off her silicon case thinking maybe that has something to do with the overheating. Well after 7 hours of her letting it sit to cool off like that, with the case off, she plugged it back in and is having the same issues as yesterday. Absolutely no progress made. One of her colleagues said she should try leaving the phone in rice confused:) so she's giving that a go and another guy in a phone shop who she went to for advice after work said that the motherboard might need replacing. I'm convinced all it needs is to have the Tigerblood removed or reflash a rom onto it but there's really no knowing unless I have it in my hand.
Is there any quick fix to this problem without having to do all that? Surely there must be a way to charge the phone without it heating up and freezing up. She's tried plugging it into different rooms, on her laptop, etc, none seem to get rid of the temperature problem. I've had the phone since August 2010 and never had any issues with it. I also never once saw that temperature error message so was taken aback when she showed me it over skype. I just upgraded to the S3 and gave her the phone 2 weeks ago, but surely it shouldn't just die out just like that? Thought the Vibrants were made tougher than that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks in advance
Its most probably a kernel issue or a bug in the rom; so the only way to find out is to flash another kernel/rom..

Will be looking into reflashing another kernel/rom when I get home in a few weeks time, but it must be noted that the phone has been showing no signs of life for the last few days now. After letting it sit out for 7 hours on the first night, battery out and everything, she went to plug it in the following morning and this time absolutely no notification came up. Not even a lighting up of the phone or anything. No signs of life at all. Every time she hit the power button nothing occurred. The phone still heats up and after a few minutes while plugged in and gets very hot to the touch again but no matter how many times she attempts to turn it on, nothing happens.. She's tried plugging it into her computer via usb, into electric sockets in other rooms, even in the bathroom in one of the 115 volt electric shaver outlets in the bathroom (we live in the UK currently), and none of these ideas worked. Still no signs of life. It has been this way for three days now and is frustrating as I can offer no advice to her to get the phone to turn on anymore.
What on earth can be the problem? Has this happened to anyone before? And is there a fix to this or can we consider the phone to be a paperweight at this point?

Some kernels require a certain amount of power to fully boot the phone up and will not charge until it has 5% battery or so. I personally think her battery may be unable to hold a charge or like I said before it doesn't have enough juice to boot the phone because of the kernel. There is a way to charge the battery with the phone off. You can use ANY kind of usb cord, I used an old printer usb cable when I had to do this. All you do is cut off the side that is not usb and strip the positive and negative wires(red and black), then place the stripped wires on the positive and negative connectors on the back of the phone and insert the battery (make sure it's a snug fit). Plug the usb end into your pc and charge the battery that way, DO NOT let charge for over 2 minutes at a time. Wait five minutes and do it again if you have to. If she gets it to boot up, I would definitely flash a new kernel first to see if thats how the problem originated.

I can't seem to find a thread here with my exact concern and if there is I apologize..
Sometimes if I connect the charger overnight and try to wake-up the phone it is unresponsive. Also, when this happens the charge light will stay on even with the cable unplugged as if its still charging. Sometimes if I wait long enough the lock screen will slowly appear and then it works, other times I'll have to pull the battery.. This can also happen if the phone is just sitting for 1-2 hours without me using it but mostly with the charger overnight.
Anyone else having these issues? Just a little more info, I am using the 2750 Extended battery which is the only one I've used from day one. The original battery has never been used in this phone. Could this be a battery issue? It has done this before and after the last OTA update...

This happened to me as well for a while. I ended up having to reboot the phone which seemed to help for a bit. I always figured it was something lagging in the sense ui. If you end up with a solid answer, Id like to know as well.
Hmm , never had that happen or read any threads regarding it. Might have a bad phone if it's within the warranty get a new one.

This happened to me once but my phone was super hot when it happened..it eventually led me to factory resetting my phone and I haven't had it since.
I think I'm gonna try using the battery that came with the phone for awhile to look for a change. I'd rather warranty the extended battery than the phone.. If that doesn't work I'll factory reset it.
This is exactly why I haven't rooted yet, gotta get the perfect unit first while I'm still under warranty.

What cable were you using to charge it with?
I've had stuff like this happen with a few cheap cables, and occasionally with others. I've been told it is from well used cables breaking down on the inside or without good enough insulation.
Try a fresh or rarely used cable, after a fresh reboot. I ended up throwing a couple of old cables away and didn't have this problem again or anything similar until lately with a retractable cable I use.
Sent from my HTC Rezound using Tapatalk. Forgive autocorrect.
I have used both the cable and adapter from this phone and the one I had for my old Incredible. Doesn't seem to matter and the Rezound cable is obviously pretty new. That's why I'm hoping it's a battery issue. I'll keep you guys posted...

Mine used to do that, it would also be somewhat unresponsive most noticable when doing the unlock pattern, it wouldn't make it all the way through the pattern like it thought I was lifting my finger, it did only do this when it was on the charger too. Then it just stopped doing it, I don't remember if it was when I rooted or if I changed chargers or what. Are you using the charger and cable that came with the phone? I may have been using my standalone battery chargers USB plug to charge when it was doing that. Has been about that long since it did it.
I use the charger and cable that came with the phone at work and my old Incredible charger and cable at home. Problem happens with both.
So it is not the extended battery. I installed the stock battery last night and it locked up again. Next stop, factory reset.

yup,. still doing it..
In case anyone happens upon this thread with the same concern.... A factory reset did correct the problem.. And now I can safely root!!
Curious, when I get a new device one of the first things I do is do a factory reset.
It has been the fix for a number of devices in the past that I just do it automatically now.
Verizon will still exchange your device regardless of root/unlock. As long as it's a manufacterer issue, and not a result of you blowing up your phone from oc, or installing custom software and bricking it.
i got the nokia wireless charger for xmas, it worked fine for a couple days now whenever i put the phone on the charger it wont charge unless i press down hard on the phone, but as soon as i let go it will stop charging. at first i thought it was the charger so i took my phone to verizon and tried it on the charger they have on display and same thing happend. any one ever heard of this? or got any tips? only thing i can think is charging it on the charger has warped the back since it gets hot, but thats just my opinion.
Could be a case or cover on your phone?
If you got ur phone hot enough to warp the back, you'd know it, lol.
I had a phone that was intermittently working on the wireless charger, and VZW replaced it promptly, no more trouble.

Wireless charging stopped working on my phone after 3 weeks of working beautifully. Sent in for replacement. New phone good so far but wondering if this problem will happen again.

hmm, same problem ish for me....I have an otterbox case, and it detects charging just fine. Though I can go to sleep and wake up with it at less than I put it on..yet again, it shows it's charging.....Could it just be getting too hot and stopping the charge?
My phone stopped charging from my Nokia pad also. Took it into Verizon and tried to charge in a known good charging pad and it still wouldn't charge. They issued me a replacement phone and no trouble since

That would be a royal pain....I'm bootloader unlocked.
Wireless charging is considerably slower than charging via a wall outlet and maybe slightly slower than charging from PC via USB.
The closer the phone is to the pad, the stronger the charging should be. Putting large cases on the phone may possibly cause it to charge slower.
If its charging slower than the phone drains the battery you should make sure the phone makes as close contact to the pad as possible (thin or no case at all) and make sure you don't have overclocked settings or tons of apps that constantly run in the background. You might also consider leaving the screen brightness on automatic so when you charge it at night and the screen comes on it doesn't use full brightness.
Try these things and report back if the situation doesn't improve.
been using wireless charging since i got my DNA on my energizer. as soon as i got my new case (trident) it stopped working THAT night, no prior problems. I thought maybe the case was too thick. tried with my old Verizon TPU which worked fine and without a case, and now it wont stay charging for more than 5-10 minutes MAX, and usually not for more than half a minute... if i push down as well, generally it starts to charge. I really don't want to get a new replacement. I don't see how this feature could break as it did! i would only imagine it would just happen again..
i am glad i am not the only person who has ran into problems with the nokia pads, i tried the pillow and just the plate and it would never charge longer than 30 - 45 seconds, weird thing is that my lg pad charges fine.
i am using the energizer pad. I can only hope its the pad and not the phone! the nokia pad looks nice. hell i guess ill stop in a Verizon store and see if it works there! cant believe it would only last a month. even more odd is that it stopped working when i got my case. i wonder if having the case caused it? i went to sleep with it charging and it seemed fine, woke up to 22% charge. second night with case off the phone was dead when i woke up. previously my phone would be 100% ready to go and cooled off by the AM!
And again I wake up to my phone not being charged even though the charging light was on....seriously?
Random too...some nights it works. Some it doesn't...

I had charging stop last night on me, Took the phone off, put it back on and charged to 100 after that.
Had this happen to 2 DNA's! I think it has to do with the phone getting too hot which results in a hardware failure on the device itself. I honestly gave up on wireless charging.
Hi, my 10 pro is suddenly charging extremely slow, 10% per hour maybe. Has any of you run into this as well?
Booted a few times, same.
Can't find anything similar here either.
Suggestions appreciated except it's broken

It's broken!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Try the obvious...
Try a different cable
Try a different charger
Check for running apps
Check built-in (from Settings) battery usage to see where the energy's going
It's possible that your battery's gone pear-shaped and the 'phone is trying to be easy on it, but highly doubtful.
It's also possible (given the recent popularity in recent months) that you've been infected with a cryptocurrency mining trojan, which is sucking the charge out almost as fast as your charger can feed it in.
I doubt the latter at its charging equally slow when switched off. Tried all the rest already.
Another thing, first it stopped charging at 50%, was hovering around that.
After a few reboots is now staying around 60.
Factory reset may fix this but I'm on vacation with no options to backup 90gb of data...

I seem to remember a problem similar to this waaaay back in the Gingerbread days, though people only experienced it after improperly flashing custom ROMs. It was something to do with how Android kept a track of battery levels, and (as far as I can remember) the solution was to go into recovery and reset the battery stats.
Definitely not the sort of thing that should be happening in the middle of normal use though, and I doubt you would've been re-flashing ROMs while you're away.

USB-C to USB-A adaptor + 128Gb flash drive?
I'm gonna sit out out, flying home today...
Well, it was the cable. I used a different one and viola, charged to 100%. So never leave home with only one!

Well that's definitely not something I was expecting!
Glad you managed to get the problem resolved though!
Me too :], The mate 9 was outstanding the whole year and I expect nothing less from the 10 pro!
Actually, I think it's the little usb to usb c converter, Not the cable. I tried 3 now and none of them charge...
