So the past two nights iv let my rezound battery go dead. The problem is it wont charge a dead battery. It charges if there is some battery and its on but when it is dead it is dead. The fix was I had to put the rezound battery in my tbolt to get a little bit of juice.
Any ideas or similar problems? I am unlocked with the htc unlock tool and running nils business sense?
Could it be a rom bug?
Don't let your battery die. It's bad for it anyway.

Once the battery is dead what does the LED on the phone do? If it blinks for a while it is either too hot or too dead to turn on, but it can still charge eventually. If the LED is not coming on at all I would pull the battery out and connect the charger with no battery and see if the LED comes on. If still no luck, get a new charger.
Blinks then Charges
I had the battery die on me once (on a prior battery and prior rezound). The phone will blink orange for a WHILE (I tried 3 different chargers not knowing what it was), but eventually started to charging. I think patience is needed. If, after 15 minutes, you still aren't charging, then that's something (but longer if the phone was also hot).
If I hit he power button with or without the battery in the led will light for a short time. I had it plugged in all night and no charge. I used two different plugs.
As for not letting it die. I know its not ideal but I couldn't help it.

+1. Same thing here.

I let my phone die completely once. I freaked out that my phone wasn't charging. I went onto HTC's site and it said that it could take 20 or more for the led to turn on while charging if the phone was completely dead. Just plug it in and be patient. It will charge and the led will eventually turn on.

I had this problem too, and am a little concerned I have a defective phone
So I had this issue happen this weekend. My daughter was using the phone when it died. Couldn't get it restarted. (I am unlocked via HTC, stock ROM with bloat removed. Phone is a week old.)
After messing with it using the factory charger/cable and other chargers/cable combinations I got nothing. Light would only intermittently come on for a second or two then go back off.
I charged it over night with the factory charger/cable. Didn't work the next day. Charged it all day and night with my old charger/cable that I know works. Didn't work.
Tried multiple variations of taking out the Battery/Sim/SD card and using the plug-in chargers & CPU USB variations with no success.
Luckily, I had ordered a new spare battery and it came in the mail before I returned the phone. Plugged it and it started up fine.
But my concern is that my phone is not properly charging. I have also had other similar charging/battery life issues that raise concern.
As far as not letting it die, **** happens and phones die, if this is a reoccurring problem, that in my mind is pretty unacceptable. A phone should charge when its plugged in no matter what. I may end up returning it to see If just got a defective phone/battery.
My phone will turn on then off and im starting to think it has something to do with the battery. But when it started it was in tue yelllow on the status bar, now i have it charging without being turned on and the indicator light is on but hopping mine will fire up soon. This all just happened to me within the last two hours lol, already called verizon to get a replacement but still going down there tomorrow.

--I agree, but once it gets down to 5%, why not just turn it off knowing the problems people are having so wide spread now.
Under the exact same conditions I have had the same problem with a warm battery reboot. It seems to occur when you are talking on the phone and let it die. Once it dies the phone will not reboot. My wife has the exact same phone. When I put her battery in my phone the phone works fine. My wife’s phone dies every night and she simply plugs it in the wall and it charges no problem. Again the conditions seem to be related to the battery dying while it is hot. If the battery dies while the phone is cool and not used then it seems to reboot no problem. I will go to Verizon tomorrow to look for a fix. I will let you know what happens.
I'm also having this problem but i can return my phone because i unlock it or can i return it ?
Check and see if your battery is 3.7 or 3.8v . I wonder if it is related to the charging issue with the 3.8v battery some people seem to be having.

it's a 3.8v what do you recommend i do ?
I had this happen, and here is what worked:
Unplug charger
remove battery
plug charger in
insert battery (while charger is plugged in)
I got an immediate orange LED and after a little while I was able to run the phone back on.

I had the same issue with my OG Droid. Would kill the battery and it would stay dead, even after a whole night of charging. The above method seemed to work for me.
I make 100% sure mine never goes totally dead after an experience I had with my Droid Charge.
I accidentally let it die completely (I fell asleep when it was almost dead & it ran all night). The next morning it was off, I put in a fully charged battery & it fired right up but started FCing like crazy. Every single thing I clicked on force closed immediately, I had never seen anything like it.
I was running a custom ROM & kernel & had done a nandroid BU the day before. I restored the BU & the phone ran perfectly again, but that scared me enough that I made darn sure it never happened again LOL........

That didn't work for me i just won't let it run down i guess.
Holy ****!!! I think I may have found the fix! I have had the same exact problem as everyone in here. It seems to happen once I root. My Rezound would die completely, then after plugging it in, the light would come on for 5 seconds or less then shut off. I plugged it into my computer and Windows makes the USB Connected sound, so I figured something is happening.
I went into my command prompt and *adb devices*. It showed my device, but says in recovery mode. I then *adb reboot bootloader* and the bastard rebooted into bootloader! From there, I chose "REBOOT" and it fired right back up! Anyone who is having this problem, please try this and let me know if it works for you!
***UPDATE***
It appears when the battery dies all the way and then doesn't charge, the phone is automatically going into recovery mode even though nothing shows on the screen. I had my SIM card out when I tried this the first time, then when putting my SIM back in, it started doing the same thing. But again, it was going directly into recovery mode. This time, I tried a simple *adb reboot* and BAM! I'm back up and running! Again, let me know if this works for you, or if you need help doing this, let me know.

Yes... HTC phones never charge "powered off" When you turn it off and then put it on the charger, it is actually entering/booting a special screen off recovery mode during charging.
CWM recovery on the rezound has trouble charging a completely dead battery.
Use Amon RA recovery.
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.

so, I've had my Gear S for about a year now... everything has been okay except for the charging cradle breaking, but I solved the problem, no biggie.... anyways... so up until last week, I had never let the Gear S run out of battery all the way, I've come close to it several times but would always get home in time to charge it. And then came last week... I had gotten lazy one night and didn't charge it when I went to sleep, the next day, I had about 40% left and I thought it would make it until I got home.... but it didn't. It was the first time running out of juice all the way to 0%. When I got home, I snapped it to the charging cradle and normally when the Gear S is powered off, but charging, the green battery symbol would still come on (to let you know the status)... but this time, it wouldn't. I just figured perhaps because it ran all the way out of juice, it would take some time before the indicator comes out. I left it charging for an hour or so... I go check and still nothing. I can't long press it to turn it on or anything... and I have TWO charging cradles (one of them is rather new), so I'm pretty sure it's NOT the charging cradles issue. I've tried different cables, and wall plugs, and still nothing. I've gone over a week now without a smartwatch (I've been wearing smartwatches for over 2 years now) and I'm really missing it... at the moment, there's really nothing else out there that I like, not to mentioned I'm hurtin' for cash.
Anyone know what the deal is? I'm hoping someone will chime in, I just want it to wake up :crying:
So my phones battery discharged from almost full to completely empty last night while plugged in. It seems to be charging fine right now however but I did fiddle around with it a bit. Even if it wasn't plugged in it discharged way too fast for regular standby and non of the "use since last full charge" look odd. Anyone else had anything like this happen?
So it turns out a least part of the problem was that my charge cable is damaged, it only works when plugged in in one direction. I still don't know why it was apparently running flat out all night though.
I wouldn't worry about it; there's no telling what a bad cable can or cannot do with your software. For all we know the software was unable to go to sleep because it constantly started charging, then stopped, then started again... Cut your losses, buy a decent cable and forget about the issue
One thing I tend to do to keep my phone behaving: I reboot it every so often (at least once a week).
While my tablet S3 battery was at 30%, I plugged it to its recharger. But I didn't noticed it wasn't recharging.
At 15% of battery the usual message notified to put it in charge.
So I discovered to have no way to recharge it. Checked the the plug, changed charger, wires, but no way to recharge it.
Tried also a soft reset entering the safe mode, but no charge started.
So it seems hard reset is my last chance.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
Update, neither hard reset fixed it.
Same thing happened to me today.
Its not registering any USB-C connections, including charging. However it does charge very slowly. If the tab is on its just enough to keep it alive. If I turn it off and charge it does like 5% per hour and the charging icon and vibration goes on every 10-15 seconds.
Tried to clean the USB port with a toothpick and got a little bit of yellow stuff out, looked like rust or glue. Tried different chargers and cables, all behave the same.
Ive been very careful with it and I cant imagine what might have caused this.
Yesterday the simcard was disconnecting, maybe related maybe not. Been working fine before that.
