Sorry for the wall of text
I've recently received an I-mate Ultimate 9502 from the US, in Romania, via airplane. The device hadn't been used for a large period prior to me getting it, but it was charged before being sent and it worked. When I got it I tried to charge it using a wall charger I had for my iPod Touch. The red LED lit up, but I didn't leave it long, wanting to charge it with my PC. Anyway...when I plugged it into my PC...the red LED didn't light up...and the screen keeps flashing on and off, and I can get no response from the device. Tried pushing reset button..etc, but nothing works...the only thing it does is the flashing on and off of the screen. I started thinking the battery was dead and I want to order a new one, but I need to know that the battery is actually dead and that the phone is reacting this way because of that. Hope I didn't fry it or something with that ipod wall charger.
Any comment/advice is welcome, thanks in advance!

I can't even turn my Newish XDA Exec on!!!
I received it this morning and I just get the 02 flash screen to come on for a couple of seconds then it goes blank... it's doing this over and over.
The charging light comes on for a bit too (was ok for awhile - staying on all the time) now it goes amber then red while the splash screen comes on then everthing goes dark!
Pleeeease don't say it's broke
I've tried charging with the charger but the light is red so it's now plugged into my pc and going on and off...
I forgot to bring the CD with me - is that needed at this stage? ie: just turning the thing on? is there a site that I can download the software from rather than use the CD?
*sob* gonna cry soon...
it has small letters in the top left screen R G D with numbers next to them (what does that mean?)
Would really appreciate some help and advice please.
Thank you
(Happy New Year )
Welcome to the forum.
First don't cry
Second, check if the battery is connected tightly and correctly.
Then turn it off and connect it to a wall charger (not PC) and let it charge for at least 6 hours (unless there is a red light).
If there is still a red instead of orange charging light this means the battery is bad.
Since it is new it should still be under warranty.
As for the disk there you do not need it. To transfer files and synchronize outlook info to your PC you need MS ActiveSync which is free and available on MS site.
Hi
I've not started crying as yet but on a slippery slope to a good sulking!
Is it suppose to be flashing red? (I don't think it's amber!!) (do you think if I went into a shop and got them to test a battery to see if it works with a new one - but I wouldn't buy it from them - cheaper to buy online)
I would have thought I'd get something as it's been charging now for about 3 hours (on and off - I've been trying the usb cable every now and then which is when I get the flash screen to come up for a few secs - don't get anything when it's in the normal charger).
(I've brought this 2nd hand so no warranty! my mobile phone, which this XDA is suppose to be replacing is new but o2 said they wont fix it and it's only 7 months old!!)
thanks for your help
It's working!!
I did think that the flashing red colour was wrong.. was told it was suppose to be a solid colour.
Phew.. I was getting very worried!
it might need a new battery at some point - but at least I know it works
Thanks for your help
I have an iPAQ 111. I posted a thread earlier in the week, and was told to get a new battery.
Well, my new battery arrived today, I have charged it, and my iPAQ still only works while connected to the USB power supply. It says 100% charged, and the light is green, when it's plugged in.
As soon as I take it off the USB power supply, it dies. What in the world could be causing this? It's so frustrating. And then HP has NO help whatsoever on their website, I can't even find a rom to install, and if I did, how in the heck do I keep it powered on to do so, since it won't work on PC USB power. UGH, I want to throw it at the wall but I know I shouldn't.
Any help or enlightenment would be so very much appreciated. This thing has such good reviews, I don't know what's happening. Thank you guys and gals.

Hello, sorry for the bother guys have a problem here:
i have my atrix 2 and last night i leave it charging and fell asleep' when i woked up this morning the phone was completly off but it was connected to the power outlet.Now the phone does not boot up and when it does it just reach the att logo and shuts off all bye it self. By the other hand when i connect it to my computer it shows a white led on its top right corner but nothing happens.
i have done everything like taking out the battery, leavin it on the wall charger, triying to turn it on connected to the wall but with no battery, trying to boot up in recovery and the other ways but still nothing. i am very scared because it has no warranty

Sounds like you may have an issue with your wall charger and/or power outlet in which it was plugged in to. You may have a bad charger, but you should first try to plug it into a different wall outlet -one that is in a completely different room, just in the off-chance that something is wrong with the outlet you were charging from.
If this doesn't do the trick, you're going to have to find a way to get a charge to the battery while in the phone or by using a battery-only charger. There's not many ways about going about this easily, other than buying a OEM battery for the Atrix 2 or by purchasing a Battery-Only Charger. If you're feeling adventurous -and I STRONGLY CAUTION you with this, but there is a way to charge your battery. Please read, re-read, and read again THIS THREAD.
Ok I have an old Samsung Exclaim that is red, and my wife uses it when her phone is broken but now it has a problem, we cant get it to take a charge anymore, so I tried my trusty old Blackberry cable I keep around and plugged it into the computer to see if it'd charge, what I got was a flashing battery a red led light flashing and a message that charging has been disabled. anybody have any ideas or even seen this before?
Is the phone finally dead? or is there a way to fix it with a simple software replacement, like my epic ?
Okay im not a noob by most means i been on xda for years but i am stuck heres what i did. My original nexus 5 battery was quite aged so i opted to buy a new one on ebay as well upon firing up new battery in phone... nothing. So i switched back... nothing. Original battery worked before. When i plug in with either battery i get red light flashes. My assumption is somehow i fried the motherboard. Please let me know if someone could help me. Btw ive kept on charger for days and tried getting into revovery etc. Only sign of life is red flashes. Im stuck with stupid Samsung galaxy mega right now so im sure you can understand the urgency and thank yoy to all especially the developers here on XDA, with or without an answer your work is so appreciated beyond what you get credit for
Are you using the original charger and USB cable? Maybe try a 2.0 amp charger.
