Hi, I've just got a new magnetic charger and after trying to plug my phone in the battery drained from 40% to what i can imagine is now 0%. When trying to charge the phone the notification light was flashing red, but now after leaving it plugged into my laptop for 10 to 20 minutes it is a solid red light. If i plug it back into a wall socket it starts flashing again.
When first trying to plug the magnetic charger in, I may of had it upside down, but as there were no instructions saying that there was a wrong way round, I can't imagine how it was this that might of caused it.
Any ideas on what i should do?
EDIT - After 10 minutes of it being plugged into the wall it is now a solid red light also.
leave it plugged into a wall
this can take upto +45 mins to have enough power to even respond
It finally rebooted itself, but now the battery life is awful, barely lasts a day, in comparison to the 2 days it used to get, is it possible that it's damaged the battery?

Probably, repetitive engaugement and disengagement of the battery can cause faster wear
I'll just send it back to Amazon and get a refund, I think it's done a bit more damage than I can tell

I got just exactly the same problem @hellfire191......i have leave it OFF and charge it for almost 1 days but it only reach 19%..i leave it for 2nd and it up only to 41%...i open it for the first time and it start normally, so i start to look up what cause the problem..but everything look fine..then i realized that my batteries is draining so fast like 1 minute = 1% while i'm still on charging..so i quit play around with my phone and leave charged again..but this time, i wait until 40% and i tried to flash firmwire back to stock...i managed to flash it..but when the phone is started to load the apps the batteries died..but it continue loading the apps after i got some batteries charge up..now i'm at stock LP 23.4.A.0.546..i thought it will solved the problem..but it still the same..now i'm stuck almost 1 month with no phone....luckily i manage to borrow/share a phone with my son
Is anyone got any ideas what wrong with my phone and what should i do..pls help me

It probably happens when u attach the magnetic cable wrong way i.e. negative to positive and positive to negative.

You shouldn't be able to plug the magnetic charger in the wrong way as there are different spacings across the connectors.. unless you forced it? You don't have to push them in, they just snap into place when hover the connector over the port, no pushing needed at all.
As for the damage maybe draining your phone to 1-2% and charge to full, repeat a again, might return the battery to original state. That or you've damaged one of the capacitors used for the battery, or the battery itself is now damaged. Best of luck.

Thank for the information..when I'm buying that magnetic charger I didn't ask any instruction on how to use it..after what was happen, the seller just do a poker face and refuse to take any responsible on what happen to my phone..is my mistake also..now I think I will take the phone to repair it ..let the "expert" do the job..:silly:

So, got a phone from a friend, X10 - not rooted, which does not work at all.
Whenever I want to turn it on, LED just blinks 3 times, that's all I "got"
I have tried removing battery, SDCard and SIM Card but still no go!
Any idea or help would be much appreciated
try this
use the flash tool and reflash a 2.1 sony rom you can easily get your phone to dev mode even with out having to turn it on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
you must get back on track after that!
Ok, will try it
Not working, Downloaded Flash Tool and 2.1 *.ftf image, when I press flash and select image, I press on back button and connect X10, but no go, Flash toll says: 9/044/2011 17:44:23 - INFO - Searching Xperia....
19/044/2011 17:44:23 - ERROR - Please plug you device in flash mode
And X10 only gives impulsing red LED light!
Try with SEUS, wich will install the flash drivers for X10 in your PC, I assume you're using Windows.
Or look for these drivers, can't give you the link right now, some research will help.
I installed PcCompanion before Flash Toll, will try with this software, but I am sure it will be same...will see soon!
bah....same
a few months back ago i remember someone solving this problem... try searching the forums
NVM. Found it, there you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944322&highlight=red+led+death
Nice one, will try it later today!
Does not help, after I connect it to charger (with removed battery) there is green light, but after I add battery after one/two mins led turns off, and whatever I press Xperia does not respond!
I tried than removing it from charger and turning on, but same, no response, after I remove and add battery, if I try to turn it on Red LED of death is still here.....
...nosi u servis..nema druge ))
If u can mesure the battery voltage, and if is below 3V it seems the battery will not receive any more current and the phone need more power to bootup than charger can provide, or phone detect the low level and don't start. This is a theory. If it's above 3.7V the problem is from other part.

hey Benko, if ya dont want it, ill take it off your hands, ill even pay shipping!
had to ask
I tested my theory about battery level and seems to be right at first look. I put a DC power supply instead of the battery an if i put about 3.2 V and below then i connect the usb cable to PC the phone don't start only flash a red led and start pumping about 3.6V for charging the li--poly battery. so the problem seems to be the battery. The problem with li-poly battery is if them drop voltage below 3.4 V is very hard to charge them back.
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
Now what u have is to try to put about 4V on the phone terminals an to see if it starts.
go to ebay and buy a new battery
The evidence points to a bad battery. Head to your local wireless store and ask them for a compatible battery to test it out.
Charge the battery with a 5VDC power source, take one usb cable and cut it to get the wires, then use the computer or the original charger to force some juice into the battery.

Possible solution!!!

Well, i may be wrong, but as i have been able and still use batteries that already have completed 10 years i can tell that (not confirmed) this battery starts at 3.2v and is fully charged near 4v.
I just checked my battery is charged at 90% and measuring it i got 3,93v
The best way to know for sure if it is the battery or not is to get a source with at least 500ma to supply a recharge directly to your battery, if it starts getting hot above like 40ºc you should disconnect wait to cool and reconnect until gets near at least 3,9v.
To make sure the battery is charging try to measure the amount of current ma it is charging at.
If the battery is nearly dead or dead it will still charge but in speeds like less then 10ma above this it will be charging but will take a day maybe, but you must take care on this, the current will grow as the battery gets charged exponentially.
Once charged at near 3,9v input the battery without closing the back cover and check if it works.
Wait it to cool**** you need to wait really at least a bit so you can notice if it is getting hot again on next step.
Once the phone turns on, check if the battery is getting hot again even a bit.
The battery can't get to hot only by turning the phone on, if this happens your phone can have one of two problems:
Phone has a short, sorry, damm.
Phone has a software(rom) that is draining the power.
Using external power to connect to the phone while it is connect to usb or power source can break your phone, don't do that never.
Charging voltage must be at start near 4v to 4,5v, if it gets to charge to fast keep an eye on it to not get too hot, it can even blow if passes beyond 70ºc (i melt plastic once doing this, rsrs)
I hope this works, took me awhile to check the correct voltage for this, rsrsrsrs
So I am on my second battery right now. The first one just decided it shouldnt turn on. I could plug the charger in and the notification light wouldnt turn on, pull the battery and it would. Well, now my second battery is doing the samething. I had left it on the charger while I was outside doing stuff, came in in the afternoon, dead phone. Pulled and replaced battery a few times, phone still wouldnt turn on. Then I plugged in the charger and no notification light would come on. So I finally pulled the battery and with the battery out I plugged in the charger and then the notification light would come on. What the hell is going on here?
Anyone else have these problems? Now I have to drive 30+ miles one way to my nearest Verizon store to replace this damn thing and I am not happy about this one bit. Anyone on here have any suggestions for me?

If you bought it from Verizon and not second hand, then you have 1 year warranty. I suggest you call Verizon's customer service and speak with them and get a replacement sent. I've done this multiple times with just about every phone I've had. 1800-922-0804 is what I dial. to get to them, press 0, then press 0 again, and it will ask for your account password, then a rep will get on the phone.
best of luck.
If the phone is older than 30 days, or maybe it's 14 now with Verizon, they give you a refurbished phone, if you are over that period and went to the store I'm pretty positives all they would do is order you the replacement refurb phone. 30+ miles each way is a hike, save the gas money

Just had my Rezound battery die last night. It was freezing outside and my battery was at 1%. The screen just went blank. When I got home, plugged in the charger. The notification led came on for 3 seconds then went back off again. Tried several chargers I had and pulling the battery and plugging it in.
Weird.
Verizon has the 14 day return/exchange policy now. I was at 12 days so I just went in and they replaced the battery with a brand new one from a Rezound box. I assume they will send that unit back RMA. My phone works now.
You're not the only person having battery death issues. Not sure why this is a problem on the Rezound. I recently purchased an extended battery ironically. It will be arriving tomorrow.
Here's to hoping that it won't die. I should buy some spares just in case. Make sure you call customer service and report the issue. It is tracked.
I was also having an issue charging from a dead battery (would charge just fine otherwise). The charging indicator would not stay lit, but after giving it 10 minutes or so, repeated attempts to power on would eventually work and then it would charge normally.
Had this happen several times and then reflashed the stock image. Seems to be working as it should now. However, when I got my phone it had a dead battery it wouldn't charge. So we'll see what happens.
Note: was running Senseless 1.0 and de-bloated. Stock rom kernel. If it matters....I probably didn't get a clean install when doing it all.
Rezound has a known issue that if the battery dies to far you'll need something else to charge the battery. Some people have used their old thunderbolts to give it a pre charge, buy the stand alone charger from Verizon. Or just don't let your phone discharge tthat far.

Good to know - is that all or most Rezounds? Because I wonder if I should swap mine while I still can.
Like I said, I was having that issue and after flashing the stock RUU (updated one, .6) my phone is charging a dead battery just fine (2 for 2 so far, fingers crossed).
Actually brand new in the store mine had a dead battery and it would not charge, so they gave me a new battery. Perhaps there was a fix in that updated RUU. It's just a suggestion - after I confirm this works consistently I'll see what happens with some other roms.
Alternatively, it's also possible the stock RUU doesn't let you drain the battery as far as the roms do. I was able to power back on several times until it finally wouldn't (and no led flashing at that point), but now it charges from there.
Yea, I woke up one morning and my phone was deader than a door nail. Popped on the charger and no notification light, called Verizon to whine and prepared to stop by the store to get a replacment battery. However just for kicks I plug the phone back on the charger (ok my laptop) and after 1/2 hour the notification light popped back on and the battery started to charge. Now Prior I was having a high rate of discharged getting about 2 hours of use and 5 on standby (airplane on, WiFi and Data off) and still having the high rate of discharge. I started to investigate why the phone was getting hot and discharging so fast. Now I couldn't fine the culprit (I think WIFI was the cause) but I just did a factory reset, reloaded my rom and kernal and poof, everything return to normal including much longer discharge rates and I'm much happier now (Adult Beverages and household chemicals indigestation).
If you go to HTC's website it actually has a faq on this. Their response goes pretty much like this. If you drain your battery till the phone shuts off, plug your phone in. It will flash the notification light then there will be no charging light. The light could take 20 minutes or more to turn on. I also had this problem like you guys but just put it on charge over night and it will be fine. Just don't kill it to 0 anymore.
Found the Quote: My phone won’t power on. What can I do? close
If your phone will not power on, your battery may be drained or not seated correctly.
Tips:
If the battery is completely dead, the phone will need to charge for a few minutes and then should power on once this happens. When plugging the phone into the charging, the notification light may not light up immediately as the battery is completely dead. Let it charge for about 20 minutes before trying to power on.
Make sure you are using the AC charger that was supplied with your phone

battery discharges while plugged in and using it
ok, so this happened with the stock rom, and two other roms i had.
What would happen is if you plug the phone in, and use it, you would expect it to charge while you are using it. It did on my dinc. it actually discharges while you use it and it is plugged into the supplied charger.
This is not a good thing. I am wondering if anyone else is having a similar experience.
One interesting side note.
I installed rezrom recently, and after the initial install i didn't experience this problem and got a 24 hour charge out of the battery. Now on my second charge only lasted 7 hours, and i get that drain while plugged in again.
Are you using the stock charger or a different one? You might not be charging at 1amp.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I am using the stock charger. I have two actually, one from my dinc, which also supply 1 amp of power
That's really crappy and definitely an issue they need to address. My Rezound sucks on the battery like a wine-o on a Friday night, but it's never gotten to the point of blacking out.
I am just interested to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue of it being plugged in and not charging when u surf the net, but actually discharges.
The whole issue of it not powering up for 15 minutes after it dies is a bunch of crap too. my dinc does not do this, and god forbid that my phone dies in an emergency situation and i need to get a hold of someone fast!
oh i forgot to add that i called VZW and complained about this, and they going to send a new battery. Something tells me this won't resolve this issue though
I have the official HTC 2750 battery and Its been good except 2 mornings I woke up to an unresponsive phone with no charge notification after plugging it in.. Pulling the battery and reinstalling let me start the phone up. I have had this phone/battery combo for 2 weeks.. should I try to get a replacement battery or is this normal. There have been two different answers here and I want to do the right thing here...

Yes, exactly. Not sure if it was entirely discharged. I'll leave it off the charger tonight and see if it does it again by morning. I'll let you know battery % once I get it booted.

From the beginning, phone was on charger, charging then came back later (phone still on charger) no led, nothing, phone wouldnt turn on.
So last night before I went to sleep, my NT had about 40% battery life left in it. I'm currently running the final alpha build of CM7. I've been experiencing really bad wifi loss issues and have kept the 'Never' option enabled under the wifi sleep policy (thinking that would help hold the connection).
I woke up to find the NT was turned off. Figured that was odd as I was only asleep for about 5hrs. I turned it on and then noticed it got into the OS and then died. I did see the battery icon was red briefly.
I then plugged it into the wall and it was boot looping. I saw the 'n' logo pop up, screen went black, 'n' logo, etc. etc.
After numerous attempts of holding down the power button for 20+ seconds, holding power+vol down for 10 seconds, plugging it with or without an sd card into the wall and computer, nothing is happening.
The computer does see something as I'm hearing the common connected/disconnected tone from the USB port. Now I'm noticing that plugged into the wall, the 'n' on the cable stays orange. It never turns green.
Did it go 'poof' in the night somehow?
[EDIT] Ok after leaving it plugged into the wall for about 15mins, it suddenly turned on but had a google framework FC error. Yeah, not sure what I should do at this point. It appears to be charging...
It's been noted by others that if the power level goes below 15% you mustn't turn the device off if you don't have the original charger nearby. If it dies you need to charge it with the original charger for a bit before it'll power back up.
I assume this means that you can't run it off the cable while you've got a completely dead battery. That kind of stinks but isn't too surprising, a lot of devices are like that.
So does that mean that if the device is <40% of battery I need to plug it in if I won't be around it for a while? Not sure I'm cool with that. Battery life was great all day yesterday but somehow it dropped 40% in under 5hrs while asleep.
I can't really say much as I haven't dealt with it personally. People were talking about it in a couple threads about the NT's charger and unique 12 pin cable.
Here's what I understand from what I've read:
You can run it until it's empty all you like. You'll just need to use the Nook's factory charger (or a compatible 2A charger with bridged D- and D+ pins) AND (this is the important one) the factory USB cable to charge it.
If you run it until it dies you have to charge it for a little while before it'll turn on again, BUT you have to use the original cord and charger. It won't charge off of a regular micro USB cable nor will it work if you're using a 2A or smaller charger that doesn't have the middle two pins bridges (the Apple UBS chargers won't work nor will your PC's USB ports, for example).
The NT will charge, albeit slowly, if connected with a third party cable or USB charger (without the data lines D- and D+ bridged), but not if the device's power has been depleted.
So I suspect something sucked up a lot of juice while you weren't using your NT. Not a huge deal, but definitely annoying. Plug it in for 15 minutes and you can get rolling again.... BUT only if you're using the original charger and cable. Lovely isn't it? It's not a huge problem but it is annoying. I wish you could at least use the device with a dead battery while plugged in.
I just mention the charger/stock cable thing because I'm sure someone will probably see this post in the future and may be having that particular problem resuscitating their NT.
Cool, yeah I don't specifically set out to run it down to zero but since the device is clean with minimal stuff running in the background, it's difficult to know when this might happen again. I assumed I'd wake up with like 20-25% battery left. The framework FC is also something I'm concerned about but maybe it was just a fluke.
Ah well, really do appreciate your input and I'll be sure to keep the stock cable/adapter on hand when I'm on the go.
Battery showed fully charged, I rebooted to do another CWM backup and then when it came back up it showed 84% charged. Lol. And this pic made me laugh even more. Time to get that lady from Poltergeist involved I think...
The Google Framework force close is typical of stock rooted NTs. I don't believe it ever did any harm to anything though. Just that it sometimes appears on reboot.
I'll ask one additional question as to not make another topic since it's related.
Opinions on battery calibration with the NT? That was one of the reasons I didn't charge it last night as I wanted to fully run it down and then fully charge it back up. Does the NT require this with a new rom install? That pic above shows the battery gauge clearly wasn't correct initially.
Your battery is draining overnight because wifi is running the whole time (as you stated in your first post).

That's what I obviously thought of at first but it didn't drain nearly as much when I was using it throughout the day. The only thing I can think of is maybe the fuel gauge itself was wrong from the start, which refers back to my calibration question.
My GS2 has the sleep policy set to 'Never' as well and only loses maybe 7-8% after being asleep for around 7-8hrs and it certainly uses more juice in sleep due to the cell communication, etc.
I read loads of similar issues, but mine is a little different:
I heavily used my stock-rom, unrooted phone today, recorded long videos in Full HD, when I got back home, I had 18% battery, plugged it into my computer's USB to get the videos (unaware of the issue of insufficient current on USB ports) and windows did not recognize it.
I then unplugged it planning to plug it into the wall socket, and when I woke the phone, it died on my arms
A little annoyed, I plugged it into the wall socket, and got the slow, orange blinking LED, and was not able to turn the phone on. After 30 minutes, the LED stabilized and it seemed to be charging (while off), so I left it there for another 20 minutes.
When I tried to turn the phone on, it worked, normally, but showed 2% battery life remaining. I had Wi-Fi on, but normally it wouldn't be an issue, so I left it charging for another 20 minutes.
I then woke the device and it showed 1% battery left! While plugged in! I tried to wake it and it died again.
I left it there for an hour or so, turned it back on, 6% battery left, I then turned Airplane Mode on so it would charge faster. After 10 minutes in Airplane Mode, it still shows 6%. It is not charging, I'm using the original HTC charger and cable.
It seems like it is not charging at all when on, and charging VERY slowly when off.
Tried a few tricks I read online, such as holding the volume up + volume down + power button for 2 minutes, but all I got was a steady flashing recovery screen, which says my battery is too low for flashing.
So the difference between mine and other posts is that my stock phone is turning on, but not charging anymore. If I turn Airplane Mode off, it drains itself even while plugged into the charger.
I'm really looking for a solution for this, instead of simply returning it (it's more than one year old, and I bought it overseas) or buying a new phone.
EDIT: Battery Widget app showed Charging Speed: n/a. Testing says battery health: good, 3666 mv, "charging" status
EDIT II: Tried running it in Recovery Mode, got a 3d exclamation point with a phone icon. Rebooted it normally, it turns back on, still not charging. This does not look good at all.
EDIT III: Read about Mr Hofs idea, of running custom recovery via the PC, but I can't get it to connect. Have newest version of Sync Manager yet windows says the "device malfunctioned" and could not be recognized.
EDIT IV: Done factory reset, no luck. Phone is still draining while plugged in. After 8 hours of charging while off, all I got was 40/50% I'm really desperate as the phone is virtually bricked and I need it for work. Willing to tip/donate to whoever finds solution, if that is ok according to forum rules (not sure)

Back to the blinking led
I tried plugging the phone into the computer's USB port, got the red blinking led again. Held the volume down + power button while connected to the PC and it seemed to be constantly rebooting - windows popped up "device not recognized" several times and the power led started flashing much slowlier. Sometimes the lower leds would also flash. I held it like that for 2 minutes.
After a while the lower lads and the screen backlight lit up. I then realeased the buttons and quickly plugged it into the wall socket.
Now I have the fast blinking again. Awesome. I can't tell if I'm doing it right or brutally murdering my phone
You might just factory reset once your charged as .much as you can. I believe your problem. Is having to do with using or somehow got a bad current or USB port/cord etc. Anyway its software related and a hard reset doesn't help I'd RMA ..you go flashing mods to do yourself probably won't work especially if its hardware. Hope this helps. I say this as it happened to me. I used a lower amp wire charger socket. Same thing happened. After many hours of trying stuff. Factory reset never used bad or non OEM again. But in your case it may be just some IDD quirk. It happens bro. Hope you get it up and running. ..

Left it charging while off overnight, now I have 40% (!) battery. Any time I try flashing the default recovery, it'll show a red exclamation. The PC won't recognize it at all, even with downloaded drivers. And doind all that seem to have drained it to 30%.
Will try to get my important files and then factory reset it.

Done factory reset, no luck. Phone is still draining while plugged in.
So that's it? Phone is bricked then?
Charge to 100%
Try a different charger
Try flashing a different ROM/kernel
Try flashing RUU
Contact HTC
That's what I would do and the order I would do it in. Leave it alone until it is charged up to 100% before you do any of this though. Even if it takes a week. For all I know, charging to 100% will reset the charging circuit. I doubt it, but who knows.... Stranger things have happened.

Well this is awkward.
After many days, and since HTC is not present in Brazil anymore, I have no ways of contacting support, I gave up, bought an S4. After two days with my new phone, guess what? The HOX+ charged 100%, and it seems to be discharging normally. GOD DAMMIT.
So, ridethisbike, your suggestion worked, kudos for you and boo for me for not being patient and giving a shot.
Out to look for a buyer then. :silly:
Hi all,
I wanted to give my z2 a quick charge on the way to the hospital today and i noticed after about 20 mins i noticed that the charging light wasn't on any more, it was to start with.
I ran it down to 0% it shut down and doesn't seem to charge via the usb port, the red light will come on for 5 mins or so but then nothing. when i tap the power button the screen shows me one bar on the battery but not charging icon.
I have a magnetic charger and so far do get the charging icon and a constant red led. It always takes a long time to charge via the magnetic port so I will leave it for a while but was wondering if this had happened to anyone else.
The phone wasn't moved or banged around in the car, it was fixed when it was charging otherwise I would say it was damaged.
The phone is 5 months old and has always been well taken care of.... really hoping i don't have a brick!
When it powers off it goes into emergancy power mode for a while
Leave it plugged in for about 40 mins, if it doesnt give any response at all then wait sometime ive read some peoples devices took a couple hours to wait
If it doesnt give any life then you will have to contact sony mobile repair centre
Thanks! I got it to 68% using the magnetic charger going to clean the USB port and give it another go
