I relay on tethering for all my internet needs (browsing and ps3) All of the apps available heat my phone up so hot that the moto logo on the battwry cover turned black and fell off. Already gone througj 2 batteries in 3 months.

You posted this in the wrong section.
However, if you've got the phone plugged in, you can remove the battery. You're killing batteries due to the heat and the constant charging. Lithium Ion batteries don't enjoy being roasted, nor do they enjoy being charged all the time.
Also, if the phone is getting that hot, perhaps you should place an icepack on it, making sure to put something between the phone and the ice pack to prevent the condensation/moisture from destroying your phone.
I'm assuming that you're doing "illegal" tethering, in which case, using it as your primary source of internet, I'd hope Verizon never gets keen to you or your bill will bankrupt you for sure.

Exactly... you might want to rethink your tethering strategy.
I keep my phone on the dock with a mini fan for the heat. I tried pulling the battery but phone won't boot without it.

Take the battery out after the phone is on.
you cant just take out the battery and plug it in, i just tried. i leave mine in the window and check on it every now and then, if it gets over 100 degrees i stop tethering for awhile, but i can play DCUO on my laptop for about 3 hours before i have to shut it down if its cold enough outside.

I've ran my phone without the battery installed quite a few times, never had problems..
You must turn on phone without charger plugged in, then plug in charger, then remove battery.

It doesn't work I just tried, followed your steps exactly. My Droid 2 shuts off and tries to restart but comes to a screen with a battery symbol and a question mark inside of the battery, basically the phone is saying " wait, where the **** is my battery". If all your guys' phone's work without the battery then mine is like the only one that doesn't.

Are you stock? if not what ROM do you use because I'm running Liberty 1.5 and I just tried it connected to AC power and it rebooted like what was said.

I think I was using a version of Fission ROM, but I don't remember.. I don't tether too much anymore since my work got wifi installed.
I just noticed my phone last week and it wouldn't turn on. Occasionally after I take out the battery, put it back in and press the on button it'll flash the red led on the top once, and then it doesn't do it again. I don't know what to do, can someone help me? Do I have to call warranty?
I can't get to bootscreen or recovery or anything, no power. Tried it on computer usb and the power adapter.

Those batteries cost half as much as a new system
It's a gamble, I might try buying a new one and seeing if the battery swap will help.
Or if u still have warranty, first go to service centre!! They'll tell the issue
Heat your battery with your hands firs, or something like that(don't get it in the oven). Maybe will help.

Try charging your battery first with All-Battery charger or something similar and then try switching your phone on! Charge atleast for and hour or so!

Well it was just in the normal startup, I was running nextgen. I didn't actually see it die, just picked it up one day. I used the HTC website to root it.
So my phone's battery fell out, and it powered off, then i reinserted the battery, and tried to power on. nothing. tried bootloader. nothing. tried 2 PC's. nothing. any help? No sounds, or vibrations when plugging in. *Whoever fixes for me, will get a donation when i get paid. 2-3 days.

If any of your friends have the same phone, borrow their battery for a test, or even a repair shop may let you test to see if it's the battery or phone.. Either way, pull the sim, press the power button for 10 sec. without the battery, re install the sim and battery ( making sure that the connections are clean and not damaged) let the phone charge for an hour and try to boot it again, or boot loader ect.. Also try to re insert battery while charger is plugged into the phone.. ( another thread said that this can help a phone power up )..
Rub the terminals with a clean pencil eraser then try again.

My friend just got the Moto G, he opened the box and plugged it in. After about 10 minutes he came back and noticed that there was no charging light or any indication that the phone was charging. I have tried it on numerous different cables and chargers yet still nothing. Any suggestions or should I just advise and RMA because of DOA? I do have access to the phone if anyone has ideas.
[Edit: The phone is locked to Tesco mobile, this shouldn't make a difference should it?]
Edit 2: The problem was solved by leaving the phone for a day and plugging it in the next day.
I think you need to install the drivers for the phone before it will charge. Some leads won't work, stick with the official one.
The phone should charge from a wall charger though should it not?

Of course. I use my old HTC wall charger with my Moto G all the time. What's the maximum current output of the wall charger you're using? I've read that the Moto G requires at least 500mA and can draw up to 1500mA (after which it's limited to this value).
Yeah that's what I thought. I've tried his phone on my kindle and HTC charger (1 & 1.2amp), still nothing.

Sounds like it's a brick. I reckon your friend should return it and get another (it's worth it - it's such a great phone!)
Have you tried on the USB computers port? Btw the charger for this phone should be as powerful as 750Mah 5,1V 0,20A.

Try charge it from wallcharger first (any micro USB charger will do). But any phone should have at least 20% of battery...
RMA time.

Just a hunch from the FAR FAR LEFT... while plugged into a wall charger, plug in a head phone. See what happens. No guarantees but I've seen weird things happening with Google phones.

Hey I'm sorry to hear that, I spoke to my friend again and he said all he did was leave the phone for about a day then plugged it in again. He did mention something about wriggling the connector around in the phone socket so it may have been loose power connections.

It seems, you shouldn't let the Moto G power off itself... Waiting now
[edit]
Put it in the fridge for 15 mins, this worked
Note that I tested three wall chargers, one 850mAh from Motorola, one 1Ah and one 2Ah from Samsung. The only one which booted up the Moto G was the 1Ah from Sammy.
Just return it to tesco they either swap it or send it to anovo for swap/repair

Tried it yesterday, didn't work.
This afternoon, I just tried to plug it into the mains with one charger and the light flickered for a second. And would then flicker if I held the power button for around 5 seconds at a time. Using a different charger had the light steady for a few minutes before the phone showed a battery with 0% charging. Fully working now though.
I would take it back anyone might be faulty battery sensor

20k is already out maybe that will help. Also you can try using another charger just to see if it makes a difference. I do remember when I first bought Nexus 5x which was also made by LG, the battery percentage would stay at a certain number and would only change after the reboot. It went away after few days.

I understood. I don't remember other users on 20i_un report similar issue as you. I personally don't use original chargers as I use my phones for a short time and want all accessories to be new. I have charge my LG G5 which I also bought on eBay as many other people did, using QC 2.0 charger and haven't seen any battery percentage issue. If you can find another QC 2.0 or 3.0 charger just to test your phone, then it will help to see what is the problem.
