My phone is boot looping right now and w. the phone off I plug the phone into a power source and this pops up on the screen. I was just wondering if its charging while this screen comes up? I'm asking because usually u can c the the battery icon filling up with a green meter going through it. Anyone?
It's not AFAIK. Charging while off is still controlled by the kernel. If it won't boot, then the phone has some kernel/ROM problems, and therefore won't charge.

It should still be charging, but if that screen stays up and the screen won't turn off, it will not charge very fast, if at all (depends on the charging method).
Download and flash stock 2.3.6 odin with pit file.. Boot.. Flash newest recovery.. Flash ROM of choice via new cwm.. Profit (who Cares if its charging)

Agreed when my phone was soft bricked that battery icon screen came up so they I thought it was charging but it really wasn't. When I finally got the phone into a working state the thing was pretty much dead.

Hello all,
I have been having a situation with my phone where while I am using the phone and the battery reaches about 80 - 75% the phone just dies without even shutting down, and when I turn it back on the battery is at something like 1%. Even more strangely, if I turn it off and wait for like an hour then reboot, it is back at 80%. I have calibrated the battery, so I am sure it is not a calibration issue. Also, this has been happening on every rom that I use. I had a Vibrant but traded with my father but I have the battery from the Vibrant even though they are the same.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I have discovered this is due to the battery itself and not a calibration error. I am using a new one now with no problems. Thank you very much for the suggestions though.
Gingerbread or Froyo?

I am using gingerbread 2.3.5
It is newest valhala with a voodoo kI3 kernel.
Go to recovery and go to advanced/wipe battery stats and fix permissions

You need to calibrate your battery. download the battery calibration app by nema from the market. Charge your phone to as close to 4200mv as you can. Calibrate in the app. unplug phone immediately. Let it die completely. Charge it back up with no break

Thanks but I have tried this before posting. I did not let it run empty though, so I will try that.

The whole point is to let it run empty after clearing the stats when the phone is full...

So I had leaked ics. Flashed the other ics rom. Wouldn't boot
Used script to downgrade to 2.3.5 and it got stuck on M screen
Flashed again, but battery's too low. So now I'm stuck in Fast boot mode with a low battery.
Will it charge if I plug into wall and/or computer?
What can I do? I just want it to charge long enough to flash and turn on!!!

You'll need to find a way to charge it, either buy getting your hands on another better or trying the MavGuyver Method (search xda for it), however the latter mentioned can be risky if not careful. White light I'm assuming is on when you try to charge?
Edit: This type of thing has been seen here before, and there are threads regarding this problem. Not sure how that may or may not affect the leak in this situation, but regardless you have to get power to the device.

If I plug in it goes right to fastboot. Only get a white light if I hook up without a battery in

Pretty sure that's a hard brick:/
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Let it charge for half a day just in case.
The 'white light' 'won't boot' scenario is most definitely the signs of a hard brick. If the device will not boot, it will not charge...

You have to charge the battery with another Atrix 2, or, with a universal charger.
I mean, you're pretty ****ed.
Yes it's hard bricked. We have told many people not to fxz back in this case. If it won't boot, it won't charge. The part that charges the battery is part of the system that you borked.

I use icysnap and love it but with this snowstorm my phone totally died. How do I get it to charge? Right now it tries to boot up when I plug it in but I am betting it doesn't have the juice so it gets in a constant reboot. Any idea what I can do to get it to charge?

You should have posted it in general section.
Boot into CWM and charge it.

What do you mean by not charging? The Tab doesn't get into Charging Mode? or it does but the battery isn't being charged even though the Tab says it is?... Give some more details so we can help you...
I can say that my Tab shows a little red X above the battery icon when it's ON and plugged into PC's USB port. It looks like it's not charging but if you just keep it plugged in, the battery percentaje indicator will slowly start increasing...
By the way, my Tab 2 is a GT-P3113.
Regards.
It shows the battery and on lock screen it does not say charging and he battery circle is not spining. Under setting it says unplugged. If its off it charges fine

Look at the attached pictures...
You can notice that on the first image "Screenshot_2013-09-15-11-13-33", my tablet was not plugged and battery was 81% charged.
Then after plugging it into the PC's usb port and leaving it charge for about 19 minutes, you can see that the battery has actually increased by 3%. Nevertheless, the it shows the red cross above the battery icon in the notification bar and the Batter Status still reads "Not charging".
So, end note: Perhaps you already tried this and you can confirm is not really working for you, but make sure first that leaving the tablet connected to the usb port is actually not charging it up.
I to am having a battery charging issue. My P3113 will not charge while powered on including in sleep mode, lock screen, etc... My tab isn't recognizing its pluged in. And yes, I use only the cord and wall charger I can with. It will charge if powered off, it is a very slow charge. I have tried several different ROMs with different android version and I always follow installation directions to a "T". Any suggestions?

It doesn't act like it's plugged in, it started I think a month ago.
