My phone discharged completely to 0% and now it won't charge at all. I don't think the battery is working, but I can't ge the phone to respond.
When I connect it to the charger, the low battery screen turns on, then the phone begins booting, but as soon as the SONY logo flashes the phone stops responding. No red light is shown indicating charging.
I've tried holding the yellow off button near the sim card but don't get a response. Just whenever I plug it out and back in the same screens repeat.
I installed Lineage OS a month and a half ago and wonder if that might be the cause - with my last Suzuran I had Lineage OS for 3 months before the battery died (three red lights).
If anyone knows what the problem could be I'd appreciate some advice. Thanks.
Hello,
Try removing the SD card and try charging it again. Also use a new good charging cable (had a lot of problems myself)

Why does this do this?
I left it on charge over night last night, to my surprise - it hadn't charged...
I have read all over about this, but this is different...
I connected it again, and one blinking red light came up, not the triple you usually get if it's dead...
this is the only response, and is continuous.
it finally turned on, I checked the status after turning everything off and setting it to airplane mode. it was at 1%...
2 hours later it was still at 1%, and then after 10 minutes i checked and noticed it said 0%.. then died.
It's now still plugged in and is flashing one red light again.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Hi.
Have you taken the battery out?, if not do so for 10 seconds or more and pop it back in see what that does.
Happened to me once, no matter what I did it didn't charge do i took the phone to the service center, they messed with something on the upper side of the phone.. plugged it into the wall and booooooom ... started charging again..
When I asked him what he did, he told me " it just needs a little magic ! "

Have you tried a different battery?
I don't know if we can fix this problem but as other posts above have said that mobile shops could be able to fix it.
You could be able to send it to SE but if your phone has been rooted or debranded you void the warranty.
i had the same problem last night, the battery died and then when i plugged it in it came on to charge, and then off again. after that point just blinking red light.
i removed the battery for some time, plugged it back in, and left it on charge for a bit and it came on.
i think the problem is, that when it starts charging, it wants to turn the screen on, which takes more power than the charger can give. so it goes into a loop. and dies.
but leaving it on charge helps (it worked for me)
My photon was on 5% about an hour ago... then it turned itself off. I plugged it in to the charger and a "white/faint yellow" LED comes on. Normally the photon doesn't have a charge LED so this certainly struck me as odd.
It has been sitting for almost an hour and still won't turn on.
I took the battery out and reconnected the charger and the white/faint yellow LED comes back on, even with the battery pulled out.
What is happening here? Has anyone seen this?
I've see green/orange/red LED flashes for diff things but never white.
Well I found this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-photon/107931-led-not-working.html#post1147045
Looks like white means very low battery and charging. Now the white light has gone off while plugged in... But it still will not turn on
Turns out, I was plugging it into a PC usb that didn't have the drivers installed. The phone won't charge if the moto drivers are not installed, regardless of the light
I plugged it into a wall charger and viola... its back and running.
False alarm!
Lol, exact same thing happened to me! I totally freaked out, but plugged it in a wall and started working.
same thing happened to me yesterday. I plugged into the wall, NOTHING. I started freaking out, until I pulled the battery and re installed it. LED charge light then came on and all was good. Weird.
Can someone help me i have a photon also but when i plug it up it says failed to boot 2 starting rsd mode battery too low to flash and it wont boot up when plugged up to a computer. also when i plug it into the wall it just boot to the m sign

- Pull battery
- Put it back in so it's off
- Keep it plugged into the wall to charge it
- Once charged, power into RSD mode (power+vol up)
- Plug into computer and start RSD and flash 154_5 SBF to get back to stock
- then flash 198_7 SBF for good measure.
- Reboot
When i try that nothing works, it just stays on the white led light
I just bought mine from best buy and it did the same thing..they exchanged the phone since it was defective..

Photon won't turn on anymore. White LED when plugged in
i have a refurbished replacement photon from best buy geek squad that i got last month. within a few days it was acting strange and randomly/often turning itself off. the battery was fully charged yet the unit would often times power down. this happened a lot the first few weeks. then last week the issue seemed to stop and it stayed on 24/7 as i charged it frequently. all was well until yesterday.
i dropped my phone from about 2 feet. the phone turned off and only the "m" boot up screen appeared after i powered on, then it went black. i had a fully charged battery in the unit when this happened. i plugged the charging cable into the phone and it kept booting up to this static "m" screen then turning off. the LED notification light went red and after numerous times powering on and off and resetting the battery (and sim card) i finally got a "5%" battery screen. a few seconds later it showed 100% battery then kept rebooting to the static "m" screen and shutting off again. then i started getting a "?" screen for the battery a few times and back to the 5% and it changed to 80%/100% very quickly and back to the blank screen. i left it plugged in overnight.
now the LED notification light turned white and the phone cannot be powered on. i tried another battery without any success so that shouldn't be the issue.
any ideas what to try next?

Try to fully charge your battery using portable battery charger.
When battery full charge, try to entering recovery mode. From off condition, press both power and volume down, press down until you find android recovery and press volume up button. After you see exclamation logos, press both volume up and down. Then select wipe data. Hope fully you can still entering recovery mode.
If you cannot enter recovery mode, try to enter RSD protocol.
step is, connect your photon to PC using cable data, press both volume up and power, wait until it show RSD Protocol, than flash it again.
How to flash using RSDLite is in development section, you can read there.
Hopefully its can work

Try to take off the battery and retry charging
There may be a problem in your charger micro USB jack or the phone port, so try removing and inserting one or two times. This happened to me too many times.
Normally after a complete drain, sometimes the red light starts blinking after few seconds/minutes sometimes & then onwards there is a pattern of blinking red & then it starts showing the battery symbol when the LED starts from red.
The blinking red may be for ever, it may indicate a cable/micro USB pin/port problem. But as a coincidence I found it on miniCM10+nAa jb2 & I have never seen such on miniCM 7x. No known such problem due to kernel/ROM is yet proved!
If nothing works, charge the battery with an external charger available in the market and solve the problem & charge again!
:good:If it works press thanks!!!

I cant pull out the battery in my 2010 mini. I removed the white battery wire near camera and
tried to charge it but its very difficult.. After 10 mins of charging in my hand. There wasnt a single red blink.I touched the terminal on my tounge and the current sense was pretty good.. Do i need to replace the battery.
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!
BR Friend
Since I changed the screen of my Mido, the red led is blinking when I try to charge, before that I unfortunately left the battery fully drain.
When I disconnected the battery and plugged the phone at the charger, I had the MI logo and was able to access the FastBoot. So I flashed the last official rom.
Now, with the phone plugged and the battery disconnected, I can successfully boot to system. Everything works normal, but the battery level indicates 50% of charge.
Sometimes the phone don't boot, and shows the big battery level at 50% and the green light and shows a constant green led, so i need to enter in recovery mode to boot the system again.
If I connect the battery with the system on, the battery level goes to zero and in a few seconds the phone turn off and the red led blinking returns.
Should I buy a new battery? Any other ideas to try?
Thx in adavnce!!
It is strange that everything happens when switching screens. Are the cables properly connected to the board? Any screw that makes a short? Any damaged cables?
My experience when changing a battery is as follows (I continue with the same in this example). I changed the betreia thinking that it would improve the life of the battery (the old one was inflated but it reached 100%) once I put the new one, the charge does not exceed 94%, even if I charge it. Something curious is that when you disconnect and connect the cable ... it charges automatically in seconds to 100%, it seems to be going well, right? no, since once removed from the electrical current the battery drops quite quickly to 71%, whatever the use you give it (games, social networks ...) there it stabilizes but still is not a good experience. It is not the rom as I have changed many roms (unofficial official, linegeos, pixel experience ...) and it remains the same (still need to test stock) (original battery).
With this I am not saying not to fix it by changing it but ... this can also happen to you.
I am still waiting for help me with that problem.
I hope your problem is solved soon.
Just to give the case a conclusion, I ordered a new battery and everithig is fine now!
Thx
