you may had this topic before, anyways.
it had no power at all the backup battery was empty sow as the main one. i stick my xda2i charger in, red light shows on the top right of the handset, left it for about a day, picket it up the next day and only the backup battery is 100% :S it turns on every 20 mins i can use it for about 3 mins and it turns of again. help please
sounds like u got a buggered battery mate,
are you charging it using a mains charger or USB only?
noooooo please dont say that, and im using a mains charger
how much is a new battery?
edit: i have a usb thing aswell
the phone is almost brand new
theres two imputs on the phone one on the outside, one on the inside (back of the phone) maybe the outside imput is for the backup battery and the input inside the phone may be for the main battery? but they have diffrent sockets and i only have the one for the backup battery i think.
is that correct? anyone?
thanx
max
edit: so many veiws and no posts?
ok, i found out that it charges the main battery through a usb and im doing that, but it wont charge on the charger :S and when i take the usb out the power goes down like every 3 minutes a % goes down. may be im running something on the device i dont know about? very strange surprised to see such a machine fail its duties. :/
O2 needs to fix themselves
thanx

check the task manager you maybe starting the camera when you take it out of the cradle also what do you leave running in the back ground tapping x in the corner only minimises the program it doent stop it
how do i know whats in the backrpund?
I could suggest a couple of things but I think the easiest course for you to take would be to back up your files and programs (if you need to) and then perform a hard reset, once you've done that leave it to charge overnight. Make sure that your cradle is powered NOT from your computer using USB but from a charger plugged into the wall alternatively you can simply attach the adapter (that came separately to your charger and plug it into the bottom of your phone. The charger charges BOTH the backup and main battery there are no separate "inputs" as you put it. The connection is located at the bottom of your phone beneath the joypad.
I run bluetooth and use wi-fi on my IIi throughout the day as well as make and recieve about 2 1/2 hours worth of calls, My GPRS connection is more or less constantly on and when i'm out and about in my car (approx 2hrs throughout the day) I'm using the 2i as an MP3 player outputting sound through the car speakers. I sync my phone once in the morning and it stays on the cradle for about 10minutes. My battery basically lasts the whole day, by the time i put it on charge at about 11:30 pm its at about 21%
thank you for ur reply's
one more thing this is a stoopid question but how do u turn the phone of?
i tried pressing the on/off button located top left of device but the light just goes out, and i leeve it at night and in the morning the battery is dead im not running any programs.
thank you
max
press the icon on th etop toolbar which displays your reception, select "turn on flight mode", that will turn your phone off
after i press turn on flight mode nothink happens it just says turn of flight mode (wireless off)
max
i think i need to get a new battery the percent just goes down every 3-5 mins

Sometimes I let my battery run to empty. Everytime that happens I can still hit the power button and my K-Jam will do a soft reset and then turn off shortly afterwards. I let my phone die yesterday when I was on the road. It won't turn on and it doesn't appear to be charging. I checked the battery with a multi-meter and its showing 2.5V on a 3.7V battery. Is this too low for the phone to work? Can anyone think of a reason why it would be completely non-responsive? I bought the K-JAM on ebay and its not really sold in the U.S. Does anyone know somewhere I can bring in my K-Jam to get parts or at least some advice. Thanks for your help.

Lithium batteries behave differently from NiCads regarding charge discharge cycles.
Where NiCads *like* to be fully discharged before recharging, Lithium batteries *hate* it. They prefer to be topped up regular and often.
My guess is that you have a dead battery given the way that it has been abused (by being treated like a NiCad)
Really, I thought Li-ion was a deep cycle battery? Well should the phone show any signs of life if it is plugged in and has a dead battery? Is their a way to test the hardware without replacing the battery. If replacing the battery is neccessary. Do you know where I can find one? Thank you very much for all of your help.

I had the same problem some weeks ago. If the battery go down to much and wizard switch off then you have big problems because this ppc charge only when OS is loaded!
So if you are not able to switch on to charge it you have to charge the battery outside the phone.
This problem happen to me when i was traveling and i forget my charger at home... I bought another USB cable i cut it to take out the red and black wires, then i take out the battery from the wizard and put red wire on the pin with label (+) and black wire to the pin (-), the pin label are written on the battery. I put attention to don't make shortcuts and that wires and pin was touching and let 15 minutes to charge (natually the USB was attached to my laptop). Then disconnected USB cable from laptop, put the battery on wizard and switched on it pressing the power button few seconds. It booted up and when OS was loaded i connected the normal USB cable to the phone to finish to charge it.
Now i charge the battery before that reach 0%!
Thank you so much, I will try that as soon as I get home tonight. If I understand you correctly it sounds like battery charging is software based and not hardware based, which is a major design flaw. If this is the case I'm going to sell my k-jam, because that is bs. Do you know if Jasjar is designed the same way? Thanks for all of your help.

This works !!!!!!!!!!!!
I had the same problem. I thought my battery or my device was defect, but following this instructions I was able to charge my battery again !
THANKS A LOT
had the same problem some weeks ago.
battery was down so low, that after plugging in the wall charger my pda booted, just to switch off again after a few seconds.
so what i did was going into "serial boot mode" - that way imho the pad doesn't turn on wifi, bluetooth, sd card and things like that that drain battery too much. after some time the battery was loaded and i could reset the device and go on working with it.

You are a lifewsaver -- I woke up this morning to a dead battery and a device that wouldn't turn on and using your tip was able to revive it in a few minutes. I really can't imagine how someone could have designed a device that can't recharge a dead battery. Very dumb.

I just found this thread as my O2 Wizard did the same two days ago.
Once I realised which was positive and negative I just applied a fine lick of saliva onto the positive and negative terminals of the battery and the phone's battery terminals.....
Lo and behold, it worked !!!!
Shame I logged a call with O2 earlier today and they are sending out a replacement!!!
Frustratingly I put a friends battery in mine, transferred everything off and emptied the phone's memory!!!! grrrrr, I should have thought about it first.
To add to that...the standard battery is some cheap and nasty Chinese battery.
Sadly, all the aftermarket ones are mostly made in China too!
BTW. Drinking an acidic fizzy drink probably helped the revival process by making my saliva that little more acidic.
Unbelievable.
I had the same problem last night. The phone just went dead while I was working. I could not get the thing to take a charge overnight with a wall USB charger.
I took a cheap USB printer cable. Cut off one side. Isolated the black and red wires. Attached them to the +(red) and -(blk) on the battery for only two minutes. Put the battery back in the phone and turned it on. When it booted up I quickly put it on the USB charger again. And now it is charging as usual.
I guess someone may need to start marketing a USB with blk/red pigtails for emergency charging.
Thank you soooo much!
Dropped my MDA Vario in my pint of beer the other night - had 48 hours of worry as it dried out and things began to work again. Then had the problems described before - not able to charge, red warning LED. Didn't want to put it in for servicing as it is unlocked (and smells of beer!) but found this solution which works perfectly (I used blu-tack to attach the terminals)!
Excellent!
Hi,
Last year my girlfriend allowed me to root her Sensation to try out different ROMs and all went well. A few months ago however, she started to have problems while charging her phone.
If she plugs it in while the phone is closed, the orange LED flashes on/off at around a 2 second interval, instead of holding it's colour. Furthermore, it never changes to green to indicate that the charge is complete. When the phone is in this state, she can't turn her phone on either - she has to unplug it in order to turn it on. If the phone is already on, and she plugs it in, everything behaves normally.
Either than that, the battery seems to hold the charge normally and the rest of the phone still works very well.
I've tried searching for similar problems but haven't landed on anything similar or which may be helpful. It's really got me stumped to what could be the cause, and more importantly, how to fix it!
Would someone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Does the phone behaves in same manner if it's fully charge n switched off when plugged to the charger.does the orange led fluctuate.
The orange led fluctuate whn the voltage of charger is less and it takes times to charge try switching the charger means if you use wall charger then charge through pc and vice versa
Hit thanks button if you find me helpfully

We tried switching from wall plug to USB on the laptop and it does the same thing. However, we noticed that if the battery isn't completely drained, the led doesn't flash - it charges normally.
Would there be a way around this?
I'd pick on the odds that the LED light hardware controller is slightly faulty, but if its really like you said its nothing to worry about, right?

Hi,
greetings
this used to happen with me when i was on stock rom.
the problem is when the battery is completely drained it needs lots of voltage to get charge
for this problem i took my cell to htc service center and they replaced the adapter and the problem was solved
i think you must buy a new adapter or say a new charger i thing that must solve your problem of led and your phone will get charge as normal even with the battery completely drained OR i think we get wall chargers you can look at the picture in which we have to place the battery and the battery gets charged you justt have to put the battery.. this charger is locally available in indian market for 80 to 100 rs.. you can search on net for the charger this is really a good thing and is a universal charger chagers each and every battery here in india we call it as khekda (marathi word for carb ) charger
let me know if it does solve your battery
Hi
I bought my relay from ebay http://goo.gl/GbQ1Nt just started using the phone today.. I put my SIM card of a carrier from Peru and it worked just fine. Everything was running smoothly.. I was making phonecalls and texting.. I put my gmail account and started downloadign some apps..
After a couple of hours, the battery was almost dead so I plugged it..
After five minutes, the screen turned off out of the blue.. and I haven't been able to turn it on since
It won't turn on, nor enter recovery or download mode
I'm not even sure it is charging.. when i plug it the red led turns on.. but there is no other charging indicator..
I'm in Peru so returning it is a bit o f a challenge.. I was just wondering if any of you guys know what could be wrong..
Thanks

The link you posted for the auction doesn't work. Wanted to check if you got it new or used. One thing I've noticed with mine is that I have to hold down the power button for a second or two to get it to turn on (seemed like it was a little bit longer than other phones I've had).
Outside of that it sounds like it might be some kind of hardware problem. Might even just be a bad battery. One thing you could try is using an external charger for the battery if you have a universal lithium ion charger or if you know someone who has one. That way you might be able to narrow it down to a problem with the charging circuit in the phone.

I tried an external power bank but it didn't even turn it on.. so I narrowed it like you said to: the battery is so messed up it won't even charge or the battery is fine but the whole charging circuit is wrong.
Then I took it to an electrician and he said the battery had energy and should start the phone, but it didn't.
After that he charged the battery alone for a little bit with his "whatever kind of car-battery-like thing" but it still was not turning the phone on.
When I came home I plugged it once more to the external powerbank and some how the charging animation appeared..
I let it charge for a while but it didn't seem to progress, so i turned it on and holly crap it turned on
but after the boot animation it vibrated and turned off and now it's not charging again
man.. i thought i had it
any thoughts?
i've read about something called sticky power button.. its a hardware problem in the galaxy sII model.. could it be related?
Not sure about the sticky power button I've never had it happen to me. I would think that when you had it on it would have popped up the reboot menu like when the power button is being held down. If it were me I would contact the seller.
i returned to the electrician and he recharged a little bit more the battery..
this time it did turned on and it reached the lockscreen it said 1%
so I plugged it.. and it now stays on.. and it says charging but stays at 0%.. doesn't advance.. is it a battery issue or a charging circuit issue?
forget about the sticky power button
Hello guys,
I am having quite a big problem here and really need your help. I have P6200 was working properly and now seems dead. All I can do is get into Odin Mode for OS downloading (?) with Power an Volume Down combination.
The power and volume up do nothing and if I connect it to a usb it does nothing.
All help is welcome guys, seriously!
probabaly device is malfunctioned???
any ideas ?
Having the same problem here.
Tried to charge the battery seems that the charging indicator is not moving.
Is the battery dead?
Any info on this.
Thanks
This worked for me hope it helps
This would be the 2nd time this happened to me and this seems to do with cold and humid weather 50 °F 10°C max (1 April 2013 and 15 June 2014)
My Battery seemed dead charge bar seems stuck stayed at 38% with charger plugged in
Step 1"Quick fix" (please take this Quick with a bag of salt) you need to plug it into a PC or the tab charger plugged in half way and slow charge it while turned OFF (got me from 38% to 82%) in a few hours (48 +/- )but hey it was enough to back everything up just in case i need to send it in to Samsung for replacement battery
Step 2 Use the original charger that came with it and mine started charging no problem at all
A tech at Samsung South Africa said the battery might be drained to far (my tab was exposed to extreme cold so i blamed the cold for the drain)and this is a "SAFETY FEATURE" that gets canceled as soon as the battery recovers to a usable state and should start charging again normally
Suggestions
Clean contacts carefully with toothpick & a tiny soft pain
Only Plug charging cable in half way and leave it for a day or 2
Try a stronger charger
Try any car charger while driving to work or somewhere
Just leave it on charge and tell yourself your reconditioning the battery
I wish your tabs a speedy recovery...

How to Plug a charger cable in the corret Halfassed way

Click to expand...

You plug the charger cable into the tablet but not all the way in, if you plug it in slow-motion style you will feel the 2 hooks click into the tab STOP at this point , you will see it can still go in +/- 1.5 mm depending on if cable is original or not this is what you want.
Basically I'm asking you to do the task halfassed plug it in "like that it's kind of in there" --- This is my preferred way.---
generic cables are normally bigger and much harder it get in some plug in almost sea-saw style one side all the way in other side not in yet a.k.a it's in skew.
I have also seen it work if you plug the USB end in half way +/- (where is half way? on the bottom of the USB you will see the 2 squares the moment they aren't visible your half way)
You can try one of the 2 or both if it never starts check cable/charger.
i took a picture of both ways in one you will see the lightning bolt that it is really charging
Its been more than a week since my Moto G died. Before it happened it had 40% battery. The was the first 2 days the phone turned on quite a few times, only to make it to the boot logo. After that it didn't do anything at all and I lost hope. But 3 days ago it started doing something weird. Every time I connect the phone the LED lights up and turns off when disconnected. If I leave the device charging the LED stays on for like half an hour. Then it comes back on, in like an hour or so.
I've tried a lot of ways to turn the device but nothing helps.
Does anyone know what does the LED mean?

I'm not an expert on the subject but, I think the LED lights because the battery, try to restoring the stock rom via fastboot, if you don't know how do this, just put in the google: Motorola Moto G XT10XX Stock ROM
XX is the model, 32 is the Single SIM version, 34 Single is the SIM Model AWS (I think that is Moto G bought at T-Mobile and AT&T), 28 is BoostMobile version and 33 is Dual SIM version

My device does not seem to be charging, or is doing so slower than I expect. What could cause this?
It is best to use the Motorola charger that came with your phone. Chargers have different output capacities, and a weak charger will take longer to charge your battery. If you are using the device heavily at the time, it may be possible for a weak charger to fail to provide enough energy to actually charge at all.
Inspect the charger. Ensure it is not damaged - check the insulation on the wire for cuts, ensure the micro-USB plug fits securely into the device, and that the transformer (the larger portion with the wall outlet plugs) is not visible damaged. Some wall outlets can be loose - the prongs of the plug do not firmly make contact with the conductors inside the wall. While connected to your phone, jiggle the charger at the wall outlet and watch the battery icon at the top of the phone's status bar. If the charging icon Image shows intermittently, try using a different outlet (and get an electrician to replace the loose outlet).
If your battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes for the device to begin charging. The battery needs to charge to a minimum voltage before the system can boot up, and this may take a few moments to achieve.
If you have already been using your phone for a while, sometimes a collection of applications are using resources and background services that keep your phone more active than it needs to be. A quick and easy test is to reboot your phone if you have not turned it off in a long time (> 1 week). Press and hold the power key to select the Power Off option. Then turn your phone back on and charge your phone normally. Try to observe if any particular applications that you use correlate with the phone using dramatically more energy than you expect (discharging faster or charging slower).
Your phone is a complex device. If you believe that something is wrong with it or how it is behaving, please contact MotoCare and we may be able to provide more detailed assistance.

The weird thing is it died at 40% and when plugged it in and tried to turn it on the first few times I saw the battery screen state a 40% charge. Then when trying to turn it on It showed the boot logo and then screen went black. After those few times (3-4) the phone didn't even power on or show the battery screen. I'm screwed since the bootloader is unlocked. So I can't return it. Its been more than a week and I really miss the phone and android and now I'm stuck now with my iPod touch. Guess I'll have to start saving to buy a new phone.
Weird thing is my previous phone died in a similar way: I was in the car and it suddenly turned off and then it did nothing.
