Motorola triumph not charging. Fix or replace with EVO V? - Motorola Triumph

Hi all,
Yesterday I plugged my phone in when I went to sleep. When I woke up, I noticed it wasn't charging, and I couldn't turn it on. I tried to plug it in to my computer with no success. I also tried to remove the battery, and launch it into recovery mode. It seems that my only option left is to try and get a replacment. That being said, I was wondering if I could possibly get it replaced with the EVO V? Or would I be stuck getting a new Triumph? Also, if anyone has any suggestions on how I might be able to get it working again, that would be great.
Any help is appreciated.
also i checked the website, Triumph is 280 bucks while the evo is 260 (20% off)

Hey man i have a triumph with a dead charger port. I went on amazon and bought this ........

It comes with two batteries that way you can charge one while you are using the other one. Plus the batteries are 1600mAh as opposed to the 1320mAh one that came with your phone! Works like a charm for me. Just have to charge them externally like a digital camera battery!

my battery was dead, i went to amazon and ordered this

I've tried all the basic check the battery connectors make sure its fully charge and what not but this thing just will not turn on. Anyone have any suggestions?
PS. Its a rooted milestone and my cousin gave it to me as a gift so i dont have warranty options here i need to try and figure something out any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[Q] Battery/Charging Problem

Heya all!
So a few a week before Christmas I unrooted my inspire to give to my girlfriend for christmas and she liked it very much.
She used it for a few weeks but a few days after New Years she said it wouldn't turn on and when she plugged her phone in to the charger it did something weird.
So I went over and checked it out...
When I plugged the inspire in the screen lit up showed a full green battery and the LED was amber and blinking then it suddenly went looked as if it wasnt charging anymore... Then it showed the screen and went blank and did this cycle for a few minutes....
She used all the wall plugs in her house and her laptop and got the same results... So is this a charging or a battery issue? Any help would be appreciated
Thank you all in advance!
EDIT: Also when the battery comes on the screen there is no % sign

Sounds Like a bad battery but is also symptoms of a failing main board. Try a different battery if you got one and if it still fails, send it in for warranty

Just ordered a battery and should be here in 2 days or so .... Then Ill go and try it around saturday... Hopefully thats just what it is!
And if not I shall just send it in...
Thank you for your help!
Also another question... If the main board has died do they replace the whole phone?
Don't know for sure, but you will probably get one that has already been refurbished. That's usually how it works.
Did you try another Charger or USB
Did you try another charger and or USB? The reason I ask is i had a issue with mine not exactly the same; however similar. I would charge for hours and only get a 3- 5 % increase. I thought my battery had went. Then I was connected to my car charger and it seamed to work a better. I then tried my wife's charger for her Atrix and it worked fine. My charger had went bad. If you haven't tried another charger it my be a good idea.
Sorry it would not let me quote the original post.

[Q] My GF's Shift no Longer Charges. Need some advice..

I just recently rooted her shift. everything was going great. Last night her phone died and when put back on the charger (usb or wall), it wouldnt charge. the red charging light would come on for a few seconds, but immediately go off. thinking to rule out the charger because we use the same cords to change our phones and my evo is still working and charging atm. Im thinking its got to be one of two things:
1) Bad Port
2)Bad Battery.
3)Both??
before i take this in to sprint to be looked at, can anyone on here advise me on what could be causing this and if i can fix it without bringing it in?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just leave it on the charger its suppose to do that on a dead battery. Leave it charging and after ten minutes or so, the charging light will be on completely. It happens to me all the time
Screen Wont come on....
ok, So we got the battery to charge. Seems like it turns on, however now we cant see the screen. its like the screen has died or went out. Please, if anybody can give me some advice on what to do with it.....im bout ready to bring this into sprint to see what they say.
Try a battery pull and reboot

If you get a light when you plug it in it's probably not the port. I just had to replace the battery in my Evo, but the symptoms weren't the same as what you described. Mine just quit holding a charge for anything more than about 15 minutes off the charger. Just out of curiosity, what happens when you try to boot into recovery? There's a chance that something went wrong on the last flash. If you can get a decent amount of charge, and can get to recovery, try a fresh flash with a full wipe(data, dalvik and cache) and see what happens. Just make sure you have 35% or better on the battery. If it shuts off halfway through the process it bricks the phone from what I understand.

Clean out the Charger port with Compressed Air. Try different HTC USB Cables, and keep in mind the knock off cables can cause all kinds of issues. But if the screen is not coming on, you can try to RUU it back to Stock 2.2. But if that still doesn't bring the screen back you may have to take it into Sprint.

[Q] Infuse won't charge.

Got an Infuse 4G from my neighbor ( He switched from ATT to Verizon knew I needed a phone so he was kind enough to give it to me) and now the phone doesn't charge. What can I do?
Chances are, you have a bad charger or a bad battery.
Either that or a broken usb port. You could be surprise on how many galaxy phones get no charge because of the usb charging port. Its very sensitive and it can be broken quite easily. But if you give more details maybe we can help. Does it responds when you connect it or it wont do anything at all?

can you plug into the computer and it stays connected with no issues or problems...if yes, then your port on the phone should be good
batteries do have a life span...and they are cheap on ebay...I got 2 2000 with charge for less than $20 bucks...great deal
prob is your battery if you wanna stay oem battery same thing you can get them at good prices on eBay and Amazon

Infuse Wont stay on or charge
Hello, maybe someone can help me here. My infuse suddenly won't charge or turn on at all. When I plug in the USB cable from my computer or the wall the battery icon comes on with the animated loading circle thing then goes off after about a second of doing that. When I do a hard reset with or without the battery in it and with or without the charger plugged in, the same thing happens.
Its been several days since this has been happening and after trying again today, it actually turned on and booted to the OS and was charging for about 5 mins before it stopped recognizing the charger. I pulled the battery and it since will not turn on. The battery has some charge on it but will not turn the phone on, just does the weird battery thing as described above.
I have tried several different charging cables, but have no other battery to try. Any suggestions?
Hello i had the same problem awhile back. When my phone was not rooted(Infuse) i had to go to recovery mode and wipe cache after that the charger recognized right away on the phone.
Another time After i rooted i flashed a bad rom and i could not get my phone to charge while it was off. It could only charge with the phone on....SO maybe try flashing a newer better ROM i recommend CM10.
Another thing i had to do was switch this old charger i had it would recognize for 5 min then Stop. It was just a bad wire connection.

The problem is I cannot get it to turn on at all. I was running CM10 and have tried 4 different charger/usb cables.
Sadly, the connection of this device is a known weak spot.. if its not doing anything when connected to some form of current.. all signs point to a dead port..
Hopefully that isn't the case..

I also went through this issue and i discovered that it will keep going through a battery icon and then off loop so the way to deal with this is as soon as you see the battery picture just hold the power button for like 2 or 3 seconds and then you should see the battery green indicator with the botton dots animation and it will Charge.
I am having the same issue as xtz as well. I cant get it to turn on. I flashed the Paranoid Android rom and it all went downhill from there. I flashed it and it had 10% battery left, by the end of the night it was at 1%. I went to bed and woke up with it only at 5%. I went back to stock then re-rooted it. I installed CWM but it wouldn't let me go into CWM recovery, only the Android recovery. Now the phone won't turn on at all, I have swapped batteries and USB cords with no luck. This is a brand new unit less than a week old, the battery is also less than 2 weeks old. Any help here? It won't turn on at all It does the same little ritual that xtz's does.

I had the same thing with mine when I first got it (used), I plugged it into the wall with a 2amp charger, left it overnight, and in the morning it was on and charged.

I already tried that and it seems to have messed up one of the batteries. The little loading circle will come on for a split second then it will go away, come back a few seconds later and it just loops. I plugged in the USB while holding the volume keys to try and get it into download mode but I'll get a warning message saying something about installing a different OS being dangerous, again, for a split second, and shuts off. It seems like the phone can't have any power go through it for more than a split second.
I'm having a similar issue with the phone not charging. But the phone won't PC or wall charger. But check this out I have a jigg for putting device in download mode when I connect it to phone. The phones goes in to download now when powered on. So what do guys think is wrong?

From the info you provided: the phone is not charging but the jig works.
Do I need a new battery or does it sound like the USB port shot?
Same thing happened to my daughters galaxy s2. Usb port is shot. I got her a battery wall charger and a couple spare batteries. Charged the battery, popped it in and turned right on.

Inspire is DEAD. grrr.. Help?

So my phone battery was dieing. In fact the phone powered itself off. So I went to plug it into my car charger, but the charger port (on the car adapter) was damaged so i never plugged it in. Instead I grabbed a usb charger out of the glove box that I had bought on ebay and never used before. I plugged it in, saw the big battery icon and a few seconds later the phone booted up and I saw the HTC logo. I left the truck and went back to work. When I got doe about an hour later I discovered the charge light on the phone was no longer lit and the phone would not respond to pushing the power button. At this point I figured I killed the battery and would need to try to charge it manually when I got home.
Upon getting home I put the battery in my wifes inspire. It curiously charged it up no problem. So I put the charged battery back in my phone and nothing. It wont do anything. I tried her battery, nothing. No lights, no vibe no nothing. Like the battery is completely dead... But its not.
I actually just bought this phone used about 2 weeks ago its been workign great until now. Im really bummed. I had 2 atrix's get the boot loop problem and another phones screen went. All in the last 3 months.. so annoying.
Im figuring that the usb charger might have an over-volted output and somethign got fried? I have no idea but if anyone can help me that would be great.. I've spent almost 400 in phones in the last 4 months
Thanks!

Also all covers must be on (sim) (battery) to turn on. Sorry dont know what to tell you, phone may have bit the dust. When you left it in the truck charging was it a hot sunny day. You may have damaged internal hardware. If you purchased phone on ebay open a claim against seller. I had a phone I purchased for 400 that kept frying the battery. Ebay made seller refund money back.
See if you can hboot power up holding power button and volume down button at same time.
