Atrix 2 White Light - Motorola Atrix 2

Atrix 2 White Light - Motorola Atrix 2

Hello xda,
Before yelling at me for posting something thats already posted I haven't seen any posts that were recently
I had an Atrix 4G when the digitizer went out I got an Atrix 2 replacement (How lucky was that) well I thought I was lucky until now. I owned my Atrix 2 for 2 months and last night I was playing a game I forget the name. I remember my phone being charged at 60% then I played for about an hour and half and all of a sudden my phone froze completely, no life at all just a lighted up screen with the game being frozen. So what I thought to do is do a battery pull. When I tried to boot it back up there is no life at all but a white light.
I read every where about these white lights ranging from your phone is toast to your battery is so low on a charge that it cant boot up the dual core screen.
Now I've tried everything so far right now I have a spliced up USB port rigged up to my battery charging from my PC. I checked the volts using a multimeter and the battery at first was 0.160 volt now it's up to 0.300 volt.
Now I am not good with volts and all but can someone tell me to keep charging til its at 3.8v (I think thats the batterys capacity) or what?
And I also let it charge all night with the light on to find it done nothing.
When the phones with no battery charging the multimeter voltage says 2.5v.
Lastly, I got a battery otw incase this one isnt good which will be here Tuesday-Wednesday.
Thanks and please come with positive news if you can =D

Honestly man, it sounds like you're on the right track, and yes to the best of my knowledge, the white light has to do with low battery.
Can you not just charge it while it's off? What ROM are you on?

Nobody is going to yell at you. You have a legitimate question. I don't have a answer for your problem because this has never happened to me. After you find a fix i ask that you post whatever you did to fix this for future reference for others and myself. If you would please.

It seems you have completely drained your battery, this thing has happened to me once. What you can do is get a battery only charger from ebay and charge your battery and you'll be ready to go. This has worked for me and hopefully will work for you as well.

Good idea, I probably will invest into one because after reading I took notice this must happen alot to people and if I get this new battery then I'd have 2 completely dead batteries. Not good at all lol
I am going to let the phone charge on a wall socket for the night. Hopefully it comes back to life.
I wasn't expecting so many replies in such a short amount of time so thanks to all of you!

I went to go watch a movie tonight and we were early and I saw an AT&T store so I went inside and borrowed their battery from the Atrix on display and it booted right up.
So this means either 2 things my battery is fried or just completely dead. I tried everything I could to get it to work from splicing wires to charging all night.
I suggest for people that have this problem to either get a wall charger as posted above by prasannapmv or get a new battery.
You can also go to an AT&T store and borrow their battery, all of this is better then paying a $50 fee for your insurance or paying $300 for a new phone.
I hope this thread has helped other people.

Thank your AT&T store again. I have two in my town, neither one of them would do that.
Nothing says fine customer service like AT&T.

Why does my Sensation get really really hot when charging and blink?

Its done this before but last night it did it again. Turned it off and disabled fast boot. Plugged it in to charge and wake up this morning and the device is extremely hot and the indicator light is blinking red or orange. The battery was only at 88%. I then pulled the battery waited 20 minutes and it powered on and I continued to charge it. Of course after that it was fine. I have not rooted the phone in any way. Anyone have any reasons to why its doing this? I don't think its a bad battery because my battery life is fine. Thanks

anyone have any suggestions?

I had the same problem when I first got my phone, I phoned my provider and he said that shouldn't happen. It was replaced straight away.

Thanks for your reply. However, if I replace it, that would be my fourth one. Its not doing this every time. I didn't do a reboot for over a week though. If I call up T-Mobile regarding this issue would they send me a refurbished one?
I am beginning to loose faith in the wonderful HTC Sensation. Really of going with the Galaxy S 2 when it hits T-Mobile next month.

All phones have their problems...I read you should calibrate the battery. Also it will improve the more you use it.

I did as it did the first night I had it. Up until this morning it was fine. I just worry its gonna do this once in a while. Thanks for the response.
EDIT: T-Mobile was absolutely no help. They said I can contact the manufacturer and go that route or send it since its under warranty but that would get me a refurbished phone.

I contacted HTC and they agreed to send me a brand new battery. Will report back if this issue happens again.

I probably got a defective battery. Was actually thinking of purchasing the Evo 3D battery.

I purchased the evo 3d battery myself and I have no complaints, plus its 200 mAh more than the sensations battery so that's a plus in itself....

I had the same issues with Nexus 1, even the crazy touchscreen when charging or right after!
So it must be HTc hardware

mine blinks orange-green-orange-green... and shutdowns if I do not turn off screen... esp. when playing angry birds while charging...

Killed my Infuse...

Well I think my Infuse is now a goner.
Initially had charging problems, brought it into ATT and they noted corrosion and blamed it on me, warranty voided and I was SOL.
Purchased a replacement charging port and found out that the damn thing is soldered on. Well I attempted it and accidentally lifted the solder pads.

wanna sell it? or you can try to do the touchstone mod. i pulled mine apart to see how hard it would be to do and it doesnt look to difficult. i would've done it to mine but my infuse is only a couple weeks old. just google touchstone mod if you havent heard of it. but you wont be able to send data you can only use it to charge it wirelessly.

Poor you

I bought an extra pair of batteries along with a will charger, I haven't used the charging port in months. Something you might want to consider.

But still that's going to be a hassle because you would have to chharge each battery at night and the batteries might not even last long

On Ebay battery charger plus 2 1900 mah batteries for $15ish, which 1900mah is supposed to last longer than stock something you may want to look into, also if you do get your charger port working again then you can charge one via the battery dock and charge the one that's in your phone at the same time (it has USB port on bottom of battery dock) a also its smart charging so it doesn't ruin the battery if you leave it on there all the time

They're 1900mAh batteries, lasts me 19 hours on average. I'm sure it's more of a hassle to have your phone plugged into a wall than it is to leave a battery in the wall.

Im not really sure why, but on my old infuse my phobe wouldnt charge anymore so if charge my batterys off my dads infuse. And i was for sure it was a hardware problem. Then wen my dad upgraded phones a month later he give me his old and i was going to return my old infuse back to ebay. But somehow i fixed it b4 we returned it. Iv tryed changing roms and whiped that phone like no other then randomly after i factory reset on a custum rom it fixed it self.. idk how it fixed it self but it happend. So its possible its a software issue

Not a hassle at all. I rotate between 3 batteries, I haven't plugged my phone in in over two months... I don't see that as a hassle. All I do is power down my phone once a day to swap batteries, nothing like going from 5% to 100% in a battery of minutes. I use to stress about battery life, but that hasn't been an issue since. Its probably become what I brag most about to iphone users.

What about us users that have a nice protective case on it? I use a casemate that has 2 layers of protection, and would be a pain in the butt to remove everyday. And if you use an Otterbox case, those things are damn near impossible to get off without a struggle.

Obviously if you lock up your phone like Fort Knox then this method is not for you. I have a case mate case and I have no issue taking it off once a day, far less troubling than keeping it plugged in hours everyday whilst trying to use it.

I'm not worried about it. I have a car charger if I need to charge while out. I'll be damned if I'm going to open my case every day. If it floats your boat, go for it.

Wireless chargers?

Was just wondering what chargers are you guys using? Im gonna be getting my nexus 4 right after christmas. (Stupid backorder)

I'm using the LG one and it works great. The beep really isn't nearly as loud as everyone exaggerated.... but if it bothers you I hear removing it is really easy and there's instructions in one of the threads on how to do it.

LG one with the beeper taken out.

Someone in another thread mentioned that it charges to 100%, then it disconnects until the battery hits 90% or so before it starts charging again. They mentioned they leave it on the charger overnight, and in the morning it'll say it's been on battery for 3 hours and at a 90% charge.
Does it do this to you? Or do you find it charged up to 100%?

The other day I did wake up to my phone at 96% and it said it had been off for 5 hours. But today I woke up to it at 100%. I wouldn't doubt that it stops charging at 100% and then recharges back up at 96%, though I don't believe it drops as low as 90%. I've read many things in the past about people saying phones do stop charging at 96% because it's healthier for battery life and that the last 4% are cosmetic. Don't hold me to that though =P

My N4 is on backorder for about 4 weeks. I hope google announces that wireless charging orb by then.

I bought both the LG and the Energizer single-position. Haven't had the problems that other people have mentioned with the LG unit beeping more than once (when I first put the phone down and it starts charging), even when left on overnight and after the battery is full.
The Energizer is bigger all around than the LG and is much more sensitive about getting the phone in the right spot - and since it doesn't beep, you have to just watch for the blue LED (which is bright as heck in the dark; I put a piece of tint over it).
Ended up taking the Energizer to work, and I've got an LG next to the bed and another in my home office. As far as actually charging, both models work fine and I've not done any testing on speed, etc.

Is this what you guys are using?

Yes, the LG WCP-700. Looks like the prices have gone up to $50 from the $35 I paid just a week ago.

i bought the LG WCP-700 from ebay.com.au posted from the US. Should arrive this week. I'll post back here if i have to mod it to work with Aussie power supply.

I'm using a Energizer single charger. Love that it doesn't make a single sound. Quiet as a mouse.
So far it's charging well. :thumbup:

[Q] Is my HTC Sensation XE bricked?

Hi everyone,
I dont know what happened with my HTC, when I woke up this morning, the phone wont turn on at all. Even if I connect it to charger, the notification light doesnt on. I tried remove the battery and reboot, but nothing works.
My phone was rooted, S-OFFed and running [ROM]Viper 1.3.5 and still working last night, I didnt do anything to it (at least when I was sleeping).
Could anyone tell me what happened to it and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

How long was it on the charger?
Sent from my Og Evo 4G

I put it on charger for about 30min, the light doens even go on, like, no charging at all. The phone still wont turn on

Could be the battery. I have had this very same thing happen to me with a new battery. No charging light at all, no sign of life what so ever! As soon as I poped in a new different battery, my phone sprang to life once more. It was very strange because the battery I was using had charge left last I checked and it was on the charger. When I checked the phone it had no life at all. No charging light either. If I we're you, I'd try a new fully charged battery, to see if that will solve your issue. Don't mess with the device before you try the new battery. My issue was the same as yours and a new fully charged battery solved my problem. Hopefully that's all it will take to also solve yours. It certainly can't hurt to try! It worked for me. If the new battery does not solve the issue then you have a different problem all together. But do give it a try and see what happens. Best of luck.

Well, I cant mess with it since it doesnt startup. Thanks for your idea, I will try it later, I have no spare battery here atm.

Yeah just like the post above says, maybe with another battery it will work. Check Amazon for batteries theyre cheap but who knows how long it would take to get to where you live. Best of luck

Hi there, you can order a good extended battery like Anker for under 20 bucks. I really hope the battery does the trick. When this happened to me, it was so strange because I was using a NEW
Battery and it had around 60% charge when I plugged it into my charger . Then when I went to check the phone after changing for about a hour it was black. I took it off charger and it had no life at all. I thought maybe the charger didn't connect properly so I plugged it back in, then I noticed I didn't have any charger light like I usually have. Phone was completely dead and it would not charge. Strange. I had another fully charged new battery I kept as a spare, when I put that battery in, the phone came back to life and the charging light worked again! I have not had ANY problems since. It's been about 5 months since that happened to me. I never used that battery again. I just threw it away. It must have been something with the battery. It would not even charge! No lights or anything! I'm really hoping this is your problem also because it's easily fixed. Please keep us updated and let us know if new fully charged battery solves your issue too. It sounds exactly like what happened to me, so I'm hopeful you can solve this with another battery. I wish you the best! Good luck!

It was the battery guys, I bring it to the HTC, and they tested it with new battery, didnt work also. So, they put in a new mobo, new battery, then it worked. They insisted to keep it a few more days to serviced it though. I forgot to tell you guys it still under warranty, sorry a lot.
P.S.: They even gave me a HTC Desire as a temp phone
