I had about two hours left on my XDAII battery when I switched the device off. When I then tried to switch in on, probably two or three hours later, it would not switch on. The green light was blinking as it normally does when the phone is on. I plugged in the cable to charge it, but the light did not change into a steady green (or is it yellow?) as it does when you're charging. I didn't want to hard reset it because I would lose some data, so I took out the SIM card and put it back in, as this normally soft resets the device. Instead however, it hard reset it, and I found the main battery to be empty. This still shouldn't have hard reset it, should it, since my back-up battery was full?
This has happened twice now. I'm starting to suspect that something is draining the battery even when the screen is switched off. Has anyone else experienced the same?
This may be obvious and you already know but it's worth considering.
When you switch off are you sure that you are turning the XDA II off or are you just turning off the backlight?
A quick press of the off button turns off. An extended press just switches off the backlight and the XDA stays on, draining the battery.
I've made this mistake too, especially in low light conditions. Hope this has helped.
Yes, that must be it! I had no idea that the off-button behaves like this! I don't think it did on the XDAI. Thanks a lot for this information, I will now be very careful with how I press the button, and check the screen in good light just to be sure.
Hi, Unfortunately my Himalaya got drenched (as did i) in a thunderstorm.
I was in the middle of a call and when i swithed the device back on the screen came on upside down and then went out. I have dried it out but now it doesn't switch on at all, and on charging up the Red LED lights up constantly. I can't get any sense out of O2 so i wondered if any of you guys may be able to help with the following and i apologise if i am being a bit dumb here..but you never know someone else may have had the same experience!
1. Is my PDA now useless?
2. Does the RED LED signify anything in particular
3. Is there anything i can do to the device to re-activate it.
Thanks
mark
maybe
How long have you charged it?
When my acumulator totaly went dead the red led was flashing continously and the PDA was'nt do anything
I charged few minutes when boot up....
Have you tried a new battery, most times if a phone gets wet it kills the battery. Your main mistake was switching it on before drying it out.
I have opened my smartphone because I have the problem of the speaker but now it never turn on. When I press the button the red led turn on 2 secondes, stop!
I've not had this before and i have had loads of issues with my Vox! Have you tried charging the battery fully then tried turning it on? I did have an issue once where I had some funny lights and it was due to the battery. Why not give HTC a call (if you have another phone to do so!), if you get through to the right person on tech support they can be quite helpfull!
Hi brothers and sisters,
im using O2 zinc with crumzz wm6.5 for around 1 month (with 3 or 4 hard resets). I all of sudden have my mobile continously vibrating with orange led always on, when the fones in power on. Is it a virus, OS problem or hardware problem ? I did not bang nor did the mobile have any rough falls before the problem started. After keeping my mobile off for some hours and then power on, the the vibration dont take place until a key is pressed or something. The led is always on orange. I tried hard reset (clearing storage). The vibration continues even while hard resetting and after.
Any solutions ?????????
Now i have a little improvement. The vibration happens only when connecting with the usb or charger. The led orange is fluctuating and led yellow is blinking from background.
I also re-installed the os. no difference.
re-installed OS meaning flashed a different ROM? if so, it might be a battery issue.
if you didnt' switch a ROM.. you should try
i flashed the same rom. What could be the battery problem ? no problem with battery life.
can't exactly tell you what the problem is..
and i suggest you flash a different ROM to see if it still vibrates.. if it does, it's your device, if it doesn't, it's the ROM.
Hi

i googled and found this
http://www.techdroider.com/2015/08/moto-g-3rd-generation-also-have-hidden-led.html
I have purchased the phone on 26th Oct 2015 from Flipkart.
No matter what I do the light wont go off. Even if i power off the phone the led stays.

Disconnect your USB cable, is it still lit? The LED is a charging indicator in some ROMs but the fact that it is on when powered off is odd. If the LED is lit and no USB cable is connected and the power is off, this sounds like an electrical issue inside the device but to be sure I would do a full factory image flash and test it.
We all know it has an LED, have for some time... but it is hard wired to the charging circuit so when activated it only shows charging status and nothing else. If yours is one all the time, it could indicate a problem with the hardware.

It looks white. Even mine just flashed up one day for 0.5 seconds. You can do it to. Just discharge your phone completely until it turn off automatically then goto a very dark room cause the light is to dim and then plug your phone. You will see it flashed up for one second
Does that mean a USB cable isn't required to make it glow
Since you can't touch the battery, I suggest you discharge it it completely . Keep it mines it can be dangerous though.
Hi
It glows even if i switch off the phone. I have asked Flipkart to replace my handset. But they were trying to say that i should take it up with the company. I was stern and asked them to replace it since it is just 15 days since i brought the phone. They have told me that they will send the engg. tomorrow. Will keep you guys posted.

Same issue !!!
Even I have the same issue since yesterday .. LED is always ON even after powering off the device. Any Idea how to resolve this issue ??
Did you get any solutions for this ?? I am also facing the same issue , I did a factory reset. But the problem still exists.

See here on XDA:

It's applicable also to Moto G 3rd gen.
If with
echo none >/sys/class/leds/charging/trigger
LED stays on, it must be an hardware failure.
I have the same problem! Since two days ago the front LED is always switched on!
Weird, it popped up just an hr ago in my moto g, gen 3 as well bought in India, via Flipkart and won't go away. It has a flickering (seemingly pseudo random) characteristic in periodicity as well as luminosity potentially indicating a short-circuit of led power-circuit behind front speaker(s) or worse, some fourier optical-transmission pattern. It flickers even when powered off and that says something about this LED behind front-speakers. A factory reset also did nothing to it.
Hey guys! I aslo facing the same problem.i tried every thing except Root. I have tried power off, battery 100% drain,factory reset but nothing can stop led. please suggest if any one have its solution
i have tried these apps, and one of the kernel for our device can turn it on without any app, but what i want is enable without any mod or app.

Hey man did you managed to solve this issue? My led started glowing a few hours ago, I have 3 months with the phone.
Hi all,
is the issue still solved? today my phone has started to show the same thing,even after it's powered off the led still glows mildly. it's been 5 months i'm using it. I've wiped data,cache,system parititions then flashed a stock LP rom but the issue still exists. From custom Kernel if the 'Battery Light' option is turned ON when the phone is being charged it glows brightly. It's really uncomfortable to see it's lit all the time. I wish I could have removed that LED light from there lol
Anyone please have a look
Hi!
I have the same problem with the white led. I contacted Motorola Support (in Canada) and I got to send my phone to a service center. I just got my phone back and they say it's not repairable because of a liquid damage to the main board. The thing, my phone never got wet!
I don't know if others who contacted Motorola got the same result...
I just had one start doing it too... if warranty won't replace it then I think I will damage the LED to try and disable it to hopefully rid of any extra battery drain.
EDIT: Well i'm not sure about this because i was thinking about drilling with a super small bit down to the LED to disable it, however i don't know how the earpiece speaker functions and whether it would damage it's function as well.
