Hi all,
My HTC Polaris is not charging anymore. I was running TomTom yesterday in my car with the 12V connected. Suddenly it said low battery and the phone was powered off. I tried reconnecting the powercable, but the leds stayed off.
Back at home i tried the normal charged and the USB charger, both without effect. Somehow my phone goes to the Red/Blue/Green etc screen when connected to the PC.
I tried updating the rom, but it is stuck at 100% and after taking the battery out and putting it back in it is still dead.
Any ideas what happened and how to fix it?
It *could* be a dead battery, you get the same symptoms if you take the battery out, the charger on its own won't power the phone.
If it was me I would somehow wangle to try a mate's battery or from a phone shop (O2 if you're in the U.K.)

Hi all,
Got a Touch Pro, that is not happy today. plugged it in to charge it overnight, and thought no more of it.
Woke up this morning and overslept, its alarm didnt go off. not good.
Alarmingly it wont turn on unplugged from mains, and plugged in again... the touch pad does its white glowy cycle thing it does to indicate a charge, it loops that 3 times and then stops.
When i power it on it says warning! battery level too low! and then switches off again.
I left it on charge for 30 minutes, and tried again. the same thing happend.
Any idea whats happend? never had any issues before, is it a duff battery? or am i being too impatient in regards to its charging?
Im at work now, and have no mains charger. will it charge via USB ok ?
stumped, been on charge via usb all day, still no life.
If i plug in the cable, sometimes the camera flash blinks for a second, and then tried to post, (and then shows the battery error and shuts down)
it will show the charging animation (on the centre button) 3 times, and then stops.
If i try and post the phone without a battery, it shows the post screen, and then keeps resetting / recycling itself, with no error messages.
I have exactly the same problem!
Please HELP!!!
I think i found the Problem!
The little Backup Battery for Date/Time etc. is low!
Description:
P/N:16H00019-00M
Gold Cap,0.02F,300ohm,SEIKO,XH311HGII45E,60/-20degC,+/-30%,3.3V,5.8*3.8*1.45mm
Or is it only a Capacitor? He has 0,6V
I get my hands on a Desire S, that refuses to turn on. Now the battery is charging in a another one, there are no problems with the battery. Any suggestions what to try? When the battery will be at 100 %, i try to turn on.
When phone is charging, is there the LED orange/green? You can try the following. Plug in the phone, and while is plugged in take out the battery and try to start it up without the battery (but still plugged). I know that there was something like this written in a topic, when someone adviced to turn the phone on, then take out the battery while it was booting and the phone will still run even if the battery is out. It could be something similar with some laptops that can start regardless of the presence of the battery
Ok i now tryed to turn it on, even with the cable, nothing. Seems there is some hardware damage. Seems i have to buy new mainboard. Anybody got for sale a desire S with damaged screen ?
today i woke up like any other day, turned on my Infuse after having a fully charged battery and after doing my morning routine i went to work. on the car i did a random screen unlock, and lock (just to see the battery level), but when i get to work my phone didnt turn on; so i removed the battery thinking it froze, and when i tried to turn it back on after re-inserting the battery nothing happened. i tried plugging into the charger but nothing happens (no vibration, no bottom lights). when plugged into wall charger, after a couple of minutes, (the right side of the back camera) starts heating up for no apparent reason. plz anyone knows whats wrong or any ideas???????
Welcome, i've readed alot of topics on the internet about problems similar to this, but nothing fixed my problem. I've tried connecting to wall/pc charger, power button + volume down/up combinations, really all the thing.
Couple days ago after my phone fully discharged ( I rarely had situation like this, I usually charge when my phone have 10-15%, but this day I couldn't. ) I came back home and tried to charge my phone, red light was ON but it still didn't charge after alot of hours. I then tried to fix it, turning on phone etc. but screen was always black and phone didn't want to charge. At first when I tried to boot the Z3 red light was blinking, but after some time it stopped. I ordered new battery, replaced it carefully (though it's battery problem) - then when I connected the new battery for the first time I though I have fixed the problem, battery charging icon showed up for a moment on screen, I was very happy. Then I disconnected charger so I could assemble my phone. Now when I try to charge my phone problem is this same.. like with old battery - Just red light, not turning ON, not blinking. Powering up Key combinations with volume don't fix it. My PC Companion don't see phone. I disassembled my phone again, disconnected battery and connected it - It didn't showed any battery icon again, so why it did when I connected it for the first time? and why when my phone died for the first time red light was blinking, now it doesn't? I want to add that I never dropped my phone or used it in water - never, thats why I was almost sure maybe just battery died after it discharged.
Btw. Important thing is that USB port isn't broken, red light is always ON when I plug USB charger, but when I try to use my magnetic charger, phone never respond - no light. I also tried different cables, chargers etc. Could it really be something with the mainboard?
What could've happen? Why my phone went dead after fully discharged it ? Why battery replacement doesn't fix the problem? I don't get it, is mainboard damaged or something? Can I still try something? Maybe anyone can help me.
Please :/ I cannot afford a new phone right now, really want to try fix it, maybe somehow connecting USB cable straight without usb port can fix it? I heared people do something like this.
Recently got a Pixel 2 and it sometimes has this problem:
* Battery icon indicates that it is charging, even when it is not plugged into anything.
* When it's doing this, if I plug it in, it will not charge (but still indicates that it is charging)
* If I notice this and restart the phone, it resumes working normally.
Anyone else experience this?
Any ideas on a fix?
My Pixel 2 will get stuck at 100% after being charged overnight, under the battery settings it states that the battery information is not available. So far a reboot will fix the problem, I haven't allowed the phone to stay in the 100% state for long without a reboot. Today I'm going to leave it at 100% to see if the phone corrects the issue eventually during the day...report pending.
same. i noticed it today for the first time today. plugged it in (not the charger that came with the phone, one used for my s7 with a usb-c cord) 20 minutes later noticed it hadn't charged any even though it said it was charging, and the level had actually went down. power cycled it, now it's charging again.
I just had that same problem on my pixel 2. A single reboot didn't help, but a second reboot fixed it. Weird....
Same issue. Plugged into car, says charging, levels dropping, even after reboot. Tried different cables and charger, no difference. Wife just walked in and said her Nexus 5 is doing the same thing! HEY GOOGLE, what did you send out to cause this?
This happened to me today too, right before I was going to update to 8.1. Phone said it was charging all day, even though it wasn't plugged in. A reboot didn't fix it. Then tried Turn Off, and it rebooted and now seems fine.
Having this right now. A few reboots and even shutting the phone down hasn't helped so far. Will run the phone empty to see what happens.

Happens occasionally to me as well. I often disconnect charger from the power rather than pull the charging cable out of the phone first. I wonder if the relatively slow fall in charging voltage when I remove power from the charger makes the problem more likely.
For those who have this problem:
Are you using original charger and cable?
Are you terminating charging by disconnecting power from the charger first, or pulling the cable out the phone whilst power is still on?
Is the phone screen on when you do it?
Anyway, I find a "hold the power key on the phone down for many seconds until it turns off" reboot fixes it until the next time...
1. I was actually using the portable charger that came with my 6P. The Pixel 2 isn't available in the Netherlands as it came with a UK plug.
2. Both methods had the same behaviour. Normally I pull the plug from the socket first before going unplugging it from the phone.
3. 20% of the time the screen is on and the phone unlocked. Most of the times it's just active display.
The phone eventually died despite being plugged in. I started charging again when I used one of the regular chargers (cord not separable). And not it works normally again with the portable charger.

Was this without rebooting the phone? I.e. you fixed the problem just by temporarily plugging in a 'regular' charger?
The phone was dead so I'd consider it a reboot. I left it on the charger to get a full battery again. The problem was gone as I did a check 45 Mon after plugging it in.
