Question Flashing Circle with a red lightning bolt - Realme GT 2 Pro

On my screen I see a circle with a red lightning bolt flashing. I thought that maybe the battery was completely empty so I charged it for 2 hours. I still had the same screen. Charged it another 2 hours. Still the same screen. Is my device faulty or maybe the battery dead? I am going to try and charge it overnight. Any ideas?

Try changing cable and/or charge

"If you see a red light, your battery is fully discharged. If the red light is flashing, there isn't enough power to turn on. Charge your phone for at least 30 minutes before restarting."
Bad cable, brick or outlet.
Loose connector, failed battery, port pcb or mobo

Thanks for replies. I'll try another brand of charger and cable first.

[Q] Atrix Not Powering Up

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???

phone broke ? need help

Hi
I think my phone is a little broke,
It ran out battery last night so i put it on charge this morning.
was on charge by wall for 10 min to get some battery then swapped over to car when i was driving it turned off now when i try and charge it at work via a usb wire and cplug converter i just get the battery logo with the spining circle for a few seconds it flashes then goes off does this about 6 times then the screen just goes off and will not do anything
anyone know any fixes or has it gotta go to samsung ?
Thanks
Have you tried taking out the battery?
Please let us know if it starts working again.
tried that, its like its not getting the power it needs for thats first few seconds as the buttons at the bottom flash on then off again
With the phone OFF. Leave it charging for four hours using the supplied mains charger.
With the phone OFF do you see a picture of the battery showing how much charge you have when you plug the phone into the mains charger? How much charge does it show?
it comes up with the b attery with a circle logo init then turns off then comes back to that over and over again,
i dont have the proper charger on me just the usb wire and a plug to usb
Think getting somewhere, tried a mates battery that works fine, mates charger wont charge on my phone but will my battery in his, so i guess my micro usb port is broke :'(

[Q] Dead Photon won't charge? (SOLVED)

Yesterday I let my phone die (low battery > powering down) and it stayed dead for 30 or so minutes. I plugged it into my wall charger and nothing happened. It didn't boot up, and there was no LED light.
I plugged it into USB and got a WHITE light, but it didn't charge. Even if I remove the battery I still get the white light when it's on USB.
I tried leaving my phone on the wall charger overnight, nothing happened.
I left it on USB for 4 hours, still nothing happened.
To sum it up:
Plug it into wall charger: Nothing happens, no LED
Plug it into wall charger with battery in: White LED
Plug it into wall charger with battery out: White LED
Nothing will charge it. I tried 2 USB cables and 3 wall chargers. I know they all work because I also used them to charge my replacement phone.
Returning to Sprint is NOT an option (I live in Canada)
What can I do to fix this?? The phone is less than 2 months old

Your battery has been drained out completely.so you will need to boost up your battery.either connect your battery to a compatible battery charger or do following step
take one of your usb cable and cut it. you will get four wires. you will need red wire and black wire. Take out the photon's battery and connect the red wire to (+)positive terminal and black wire to (-)negative terminal of the battery as indicated on the battery.now connect it to your wall charger and let it charge for 15-20 min and after charging insert the battery in your photon and charge like normal.
Huge thanks! Worked great, my Photon is back up and running! I stripped the cable I had from an old audio player and connected it like you said (the (+) and (-) are the outermost terminals).
I'm going to invest in a standalone wall charger for the battery now, as well as tell Tasker to turn off my phone at a reasonable 10% battery so it doesn't completely die.
Thanks again for the help!

Proud that it helped..
But remember not to overcharge your battery with this method this is only for boosting the battery. don't charge for more than 15-20 min.
having a very similar problem as op but...
Hey wuddup fellas,
I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. Well, never really had to until now. Anyways, Im having a VERY similar problem as the OP but with the difference that my white LED only comes on for a short amount of time when connected via usb, maybe a couple mins max. Not to mention, for some reason, the white LED only comes on when connected to a specific usb port... I got 3 on my laptop (1 on left, 2 on right) and it only comes on when attached to the 1 on the left.
Lead up to failure: I was on texting when the 5% low battery pop up showed itself. I usually get 10mins before it dies so I didnt sweat it. Then, a few mins later it died. Ok, np, I'll just connect the charger wait a sec and we'll be good to go... Guess again, when I plugged in the charger, the charging indicator didnt come on, which I thought weird. Maybe its super dead, I'll just wait a few mins and it should be able to turn on... Nope, nada. So, I pop in the extra battery I got... Same thing happens to that one! Now I'm at a loss.
I read a few forum posts around the interwebs that sound along the same lines of whats going on with my phone. This post turns out to be the closest, so I try and jump start my batteries... Again, nada. Another post says I need to charge the battery out of the phone. So, I Amazon a standalone charger for the batteries. Throw one on the new charger, battery is completely dead, takes a few hours for it to charge. Throw the newly charged battery in the phone... nothing. Charge and throw the 2nd one in... Again, NOTHING!
Now the white led wont come on anymore. Which I guess it wouldnt need to cause the batteries are fully charged. But now I got no clue where to go... please if someone has any insight, i'd greatly appreciate it.
I can only charge from the car charger a very old laptop and by computer if a hdmi monitor is pluged in to the photon.
The laptop has a dead cmos battery so it sites at the hit F1.

Sorry to wake up this thread, but I'm having a similar problem and tried the wire method. When I plug into the computer I get the same white light, but I also get the white light when I plug into the wall. After trying with the wire, I plugged into the computer and pressed the power button. The light turned green, but the screen still didn't come on.
do you have spare battery from any other mobile.just take it and connect two wire + and - to the spare battery then other end to the photon phone pins using crocodile clips with same + and - symbol just double check before connecting don't connect reverse only connect to two pins then try to turn on and post your reply..
Motorola Photon Q, Dead. Fixed easy
I did as some suggested above, but without removing the battery. After removing the back, I just unscrewed the (+) and (-) screws on the battery, lifted up the battery tab, then clipped small alligator jumpers directly onto the battery tabs. I connected a power source of 4.35v until the battery read 3.77v, then removed the power. Then I started charging it with the standard wall charger and it powered up -- now working great.

Gs3 wont turn on or charge

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.

Battery not charging ,only red led blinks. Plz any suggestions

I have non rooted mi pad, bought 3months back
The problem is with charging of mipad. I plugged in charger when battery was at 6%. But despite being connected to charger, and showing charging sign, the battery continued to discharge and was at 0% . as I plugged out the charger it switched off.
The problem started now. I put it for charging and went away. But after 3hrs, the battery is not at all charged and not even switching on. This is same with different chargers which are functioning fine on other devices.
The red blinking led on top is the only reaction when I put it for charging ,otherwise nothing. It's been 4days,I looked for answers but couldn't find. Can anyone tell what's the reason.
Did u use the device while charging before the problem.
Did you try using a different charging port? Also use the original charger provided. Maybe the best option is to take it to the service center
