Hello,
I have an XT912 that just did something strange. I have not changed the operating system so it is still stock.
When I plug it in to a charger now the phone turns on a white light in front. Then does not turn on. Can anyone tell me if this is consistant with needing a new battery?
The charging port looks good, not damaged.
I have tried a couple of different chargers.
Plugged into the computer the light stays on.
I am charging it right now overnight to see if that will work since I read somewhere to try that. I do not feel the LCD is bad since on other phones I would at least get a vibrate when the phone is plugged in.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I let my battery die off this morning til I got home. I plugged it into the wall and tried to boot up. I got the green light to flash but then nothing. I pulled the battery out and even left it charging for a few hours. Still, the phone does not power up. The green light turns on for a bit and then off. I haven't done any mods to the phone...
Any idea what is going on? Or perhaps how I can fix this? Any help would be great.
Weird. I had it plugged in my Energizer Ps3 controller stand (it has two usb outputs) which was giving me the issue before. I finally plugged it in to the wall and it boot up fine. I guess the PS3 stand may be faulty...

Use the charger that came with your phone.
If you do a google search, you will see that the droid x and droid 2 also have this same issue.
next time it happens, pull the batter and SD card. wait a minute or two, put in the sdcard and battery, then plug in the WALL charger. It will power on the phone and boot it up.
has happend to me twice - so now i just never turn off my phone rebooting it is also touch n go to be honest... the phone is sooo sensitive!
The phone's not sensitive...it requires an 800mA charger (0.8A). If you connect it to something less it doesn't have enough power to charge the device. If you let it sit long enough it *WILL* charge it...but it'll probably take a day to have enough juice to start up. If you let the battery drain completely it usually won't turn on until there's like 15% or more battery charged. Charging 15% battery on a 400mA charger (which could very well be the level your PS3 charging stand outputs) would probably take like 7 hours.
Thanks for the info, everyone!
I'm sorry for the bump, but this has happened to my mother's Atrix that I gave her just 2 days ago.
She found it turned off, wouldn't power. I figured it wasn't charged so I'm trying to charge it on the wall adapter that it came with but no green light. I've put it on my laptop and the green light appears.
It's not turning on though...can someone reassure me that if the light turns on, it WILL power eventually?
Same problem here

hello man, i have the same problem you have, did you find out something useful???
Ok. So it's been a while since I've been on the forum, considering my Atrix 4G kind of died last October (I believe). And I figured I'd see if anything new has come out in the community to possibly save my phone.
It all started one afternoon. My Atrix had a low battery, so I plugged it into the wall charger and took a nap. I awoke to a phone that will not turn on. No LED when connected to stock wall charger. solid green LED when connected to a computer, but still won't turn on. I have tried a spare battery from Motorola, still nothing. I have created my own Dev cable, but had strange results. As soon as I made the extra connection, making the cable a "Dev cable", the solid LED turned off and nothing happened.
Any ideas folks? Bad part? Completely bricked? Is getting a new logic board my only option?
Hey everyone! So my phone started doing this really odd thing today...it'll charge, orange light is on...and then poof, light turns off and it stops charging. Sometimes it'll do it in 5 mins, sometimes it won't do it at all. Any idea what could be going on? If I remove the USB and then plug it right back in, it'll start charging every time.

If it's a wall charger - bad charger
If PC then PC is turning off USB
Or it could simply be a bad battery or charging circuit in phone.
Try different ways of charging to narrow it down

is this an OEM cord and charger? i know when i bought a cheap knock off cord and charger from ebay for my INC it did the same thing. I send it back and the seller sent me a new one but when i had it plugged in the screen because unresponsive couldnt touch a thing till i unpluged it. ended up just buying and OEM one from htc.
I've tried different cords and chargers, I think the phone is crapping out. Now it won't go into vibrate mode and it keeps auto docking even though I don't tell it to....sigh.

That sounds like a problem with the port. I've had the same problem on a different phone in the past. Try cleaning the port if you can. Otherwise, just call for a replacement.
The phone will not turn on no matter what. It is not recognized by a computer, I believe that the USB port is broken. I have been having problems with the phone since replacing the screen a few months ago. The phone battery died, and it never came back on. When put on my Nokia DT-900 wireless charger, the white light on the charger comes on, but not the light on the phone. I don't know what to do at this point, any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Last night before I went to sleep my phone battery died, woke up and now it wont turn on at all and it doesn't charge. I tried different chargers but that didn't help, i just tried it in my computer, it's on the charging screen right now, there's a battery icon with a yellow triangle next to it. When the screen goes off, there is no red LED light to show it's charging, any help please?
Edit: the led light is flashing red now.
Try another battery, or wait and see if the charger recovers the damaged one. You may find partition damage, search and read for hundreds of similar threads.

I bought a new battery, but now I think the charging port is damaged. There was a lot of dust in there and i managed to get it out, but still no luck. I can connect to PC and it recognizes my phone, my phone is connected to my pc right now and i'm using it at the same time and the percentage goes down very slow.
