Okay...here's the story
I had my Fuze connected via Activesync....My alarm clock fell from the top of my desk onto my laptop (about 2 feet down). My laptop immediately shut off, and I mean immediately...(screen went dead, power light off).
So i restarted my computer. Thought everything was ok...
Now when I try to charge my Fuze it wont charge...Ive tried plugging the AC adaptor into different outlets and nothing works... The "breathing" white light never comes on and my battery is just displayed with an exclamation point whereas before it had 2 bars of battery light.
Any suggestions?
I'm so scared....
i just use the kaiser charger as my fuzz charger did not work period.

So, here's the deal. I have a Motorola Backflip, it has been rooted and now runs 2.1 instead of Android 1.5. A few weeks ago, I woke up after charging my phone all night and it was very hot. It wouldn't turn on, I panicked, then later I tried and it was fine. Now, it happened again this morning when I woke up. It was very hot, I waited for it to cool off, and tried to charge it again, because it wasn't charging all night. When I plug it in, it recognizes it's plugged in with a little vibration, does the white screen with the Motorola M for a bit, then shows the "0%" screen with a charging battery. Then, it vibrates to show it's plugged in, shows the white screen with the Motorola M for a bit, then once again shows the "0%" screen with a charging battery. It keeps doing that, and won't charge. I obviously can't turn the phone on since it will not charge, and the battery is dead. I am using a normal wall charger, but I will try charging it through the computer to see if that makes any difference. Any suggestions? Is my phone okay, or should I give up?
U need a new battery

Just woke up to the very same thing with my backflip. It may have something to do with the amount of current going through the connection. I had mine plugged into the back accessory port on my old Blackberry Bold dock. The one that has a spot for the bold upfront, spot for a bluetooth headset, extra battery charger and an extra USB port on the back(I use it and my old Bold as a bedside alarmclock/internet radio now .) I had been playing a bit of leaf green on gameboid last night with it plugged in and woke up to a feircly hot Backflip that would not power on. it was on until I picked it up then turned off. i hit the power button and it just kept cycling through the moto M logo and then returning to the 0% battery screen and then off. i disconnected it from there, plugged it into my laptop where i could only get the micro-usb led to blink... it would not power on at all. I then got my Blackberry Torch's little usb wall adapter and tried that out and it worked like a charm. phone loaded up the way it was intended to.
Now as far as amperages go, for the dock i am unsure, it states on the wall plug it has an output of 1600ma, but for up to 4 devices... i am unsure as to how much power is restricted to each port if any. I only had the bold and backflip connected to it. My laptop has powered USB ports which deliver 550ma's each which is typical and in my experience often not enough to start a device from 0%. My BB wall adapter is 750ma's which has to be my personal preference. I actually refuse to plug my Torch into a USB port until i know it does not supply over 750ma's for fear of ruining my battery like had before on other phones not designed to use a 1amp charger. I am assuming my Backflip has the same idea.
Does anyone have experience charging the battery?
I was using the phone it went dry, as in
I did get the warning that i only have 10% left / 5 % left and then i kept using it until it pop up a message saying
"To prevent damage to the phone, it will now turn off"
and off it goes
but when i plug it back to the USB cable, it got no sign of charging, no light, or indication of any kind.
if i try to turn on the phone, only the Soft buttons lid up, but it doesn't do anything.
Also when i had it plugged directly into the wall, it was not shown as charging, when the phone is ON and running the OS.
but now that the phone is completely OFF, when i plug in the USB charger directly to the wall then it shows the Battery Bar @ 5% for only a brief moment and then goes back off

Yes, it always happens if you squeeze all the juice out of the battery. Be patient and let the cable connect. After a few mins, the touch buttons will light up. then after a few more minutes, the screen will light-up and show you the charging icon. By that time it reached 15%, you can already press the power button to boot the phone.

The same exact thing seems to be happeneing to me. Did you figure out how to turn it on? I charged it overnight and nothing has changed except that the battery status shows a full charge. I still can't turn it on. After I take it off the charger and replug it in, it shows 5% again. Thanks.
the problem with mine was just a cable issue, found another cable, and it worked fine.
it didn't like the after market chargers
Most of the time this is not cable problem... If your battery is down and you put in PC USB - it will light after... you will wait a lot. If you put it in AC charger it will light after while.
PC USB is 500mA, AC charger is 600mA or more.
thanks for all the advice. I did get it to charge and boot. I left the battery out of the phone overnight then plugged in the original charger and the soft keys lit up and aftr 25 minutes I was able to turn it on all the way. Quite a relief.
HAS THIS HAPPEND TO YOU????:confused
I forgot to unplug my phone from my pc and connected to my house charger.
I was adding movies and music to my phone I noticed the other night the phone charges slower when connected to computer.
The battery icon was showing it was charging on the screen.
before I knew it I was at 13-15% whenever that warning comes up on the screen.( o charge phone)
I left my house for 3 hours and I was was using car charger, next it dies on me I was like,
WHAT IS GOING ON???
I tried to turn on the 4 ot 5 times phone would not turn on. I left the phone on the car charger for 15 minutes before I trying again.
I turned the phone on and it did not go to boot screen, but I saw a red battery
with a yellow exclamation point.
Battery died on me and will not turn on.
Just giving advice , becareful that you have a good car charger.
Phone is working now.
I used the house charger all is well 100% battery charge.

It is a known fact that almost all devices charge much more slowly when connected to the usb as compared to being charged from a wall charger. This is nothing new.

Today my Triumph seemed to be draining the battery faster than normal, though I was also making a lot more calls than normal. I have a cable plugged into my PC at work which I plugged into my phone but the driver install window didn't pop up like it normally does and my PC's network connection got very slow. I unplugged it and my PC connection was fine again. I left my phone unplugged for the most part after that though I did plug it in once or twice. I don't think it was ever truly recognized by my PC at work today (it has worked before) though I'm not certain.
When I was about to go home I noticed my phone was off. I knew it was low on battery so I assumed that it had turned off due to low battery. It couldn't have been off any more than 30-60 minutes. I didn't think it should have turned off already for low battery yet though.
I plugged it into my car charger and my phone refused to turn on. About 20 minutes later i unplugged my phone and the red charging light was still on. I had to pull the battery. I then turned on my phone and it was working, but low on battery.
About 45 minutes later I drove home with my phone plugged in, but I didn't check to see if the charging light was on. The phone was still on. When I got home I tried plugging in the phone and I noticed that it was not charging. It still isn't. I have tried the following:
Restarting phone
Plug in while it is turned off (charge light comes on but not charging animation, must pull battery for light to go off. phone will not start while plugged in or charge light is on)
Try plugging into computer rather than wall
Try car charger
Swap battery to stock battery (I use an Anker battery rather than the stock. I haven't used my stock battery for a few weeks to a month. It should have been fully charged but only had less than 50%) and try everything again with same results
Right now I have my Anker battery in which was nearly dead (below 10%) plugged into the wall with it off hoping it will charge. My phone is mostly stock other than I rooted it using the b_randon14's method, installed b_randon14's tweak mod, and flashed in the Sprint PRL using a method from howard forums with the 60681 version. I had links but had to remove them due to not previously posting on this forum.
I noticed the usb cable is not solid in the prot on my phone, but it never was and doesn't seem any different. For example I can move the cable back and forth a little bit while plugged in. It remains plugged in when I do this and while the phone is off it knows it is plugged in obviously. Any ideas?
Ok... I left it plugged in while off for an hour then it started working... very odd. Nevermind then I guess, lol.
Saw this thread, was going to suggest that. Your issue seems to be one that happens across all sorts of devices that have rechargeable batteries, even Android phones (and especially $&!t MP3 players that you'll find at K-Mart). I once made the mistake of buying a $30 MP3 player that refused to turn on once its battery dropped to a certain level. Twice. From K-Mart, of course.
Thank goodness for returns.
I am still having issues and it is really frustrating. Sometimes it will charge when on, some times it won't. The only thing I think MIGHT be common between when it does and doesn't work is how much battery is left. I think it might work more often when the battery is closer to a full charge. What I often do is plug in the phone, shut it off, it will charge but charging animation isn't there and I cannot turn it on until the charging animation shows up. I think it only shows up when the phone is fully charge or close to it (I've only ever seen it when it is fully charged).
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of concrete information on this as i haven't had much time to troubleshoot and verify any of my suspicions. I do know that USB Debugging has nothing to do with it and clearing my battery statistics didn't have any affect either. This issue is very frustrating and I believe are all software based, not hardware.
Any ideas or pointers?
Out of curiosity, have tried a different USB cable? I know that you talked about switching chargers, and I couldn't tell if this was just the base unit and you plugged the same cable in or, if it was a completely different charger and cable.
I have a wall charger with a usb cable at my office, a wall charger with a (different) usb cable at my house, and a car charger with its own non detachable usb cable. All have the same issue.
I just opened the box and took out my new TF 700, I plugged the charger into a wall socket, then into the TF700. For a second or so I saw a battery icon showing about half charge. I've tried to turn it on but nothing happens when pushing the power button. I do have a orange light at the top left when the charger is plugged in but it won't turn on plugged in or not.
Any ideas, do I have to wait 8 hours just to turn it on or do I have a DOA
Thanks,
Dave
All of a sudden it started working, now to learn how to use it, its my first tablet.
