[Q] Atrix2 battery issues , seems hardware - Motorola Atrix 2

Searched all over but never came across a similar issue posted anywhere.
When I connect the charger while the phone is on... it "shows charging". But is does charge "real slow" .
Then when I "take off the charger" , It "still shows charging"(lightning sign).
After I "reboot" to get rid of that , it boots up with red "Low battery". But it doesn't turn off for a while ,which hints the battery itself has no issue.
Whereas when I connect in and then disconnect the USB from my "PC" , it still indicates the USB connected sign.
When charging while the phone is "off", it shows charging (with the large battery sign) but the charged level keeps @ 0%.
PS: If I keep the phone turned off while the battery is inside for 2,3 days.. the batteries drain without any clue , the phone won't turn on.
Tried all factory reset & calibrating stuff , I start to wonder if this is an issue with my USB port or the battery connectors. I might be needing experts help ..Please help
[I do not hv any warranty left for this]

Maybe you need to try a new battery.That's all.

Yeah thnx bud, I could try that If I know for certain . Else it would be a waste.
What worries me is the issue with the "USB connection to PC". Which has nothing to with the battery circuit.

Have you tried another cable?

The issue seems to be probably with either the USB cable or the port.try another cable to be sure..

Discharge while off sounds like a bad battery. Does it lose charge if you charge it and take it out of the phone?

Tried that , when I take it out and keep ,the charge stays perfect. That's why I'm guessing the battery is ok .

Yeah tried another cable . Made no difference . I think I should try replacing the port . Hope that's not very expensive .

Updates for my problem, (still no clue though).
I messed up with some MOTOMIZER app and happend to change the dalvik heap size to default(don't remember the value) . Just after this the phone boots only up to "Rethink possible" screen.
It won't let me flash via fast boot , "battery low cannot program" comes up.
Then I bought an external charger and a 3rd party battery . Fully charged the battery via the ext; charger and went to fast boot. No surprises , "battery low cannot program" came up again.
It seems the phone does not recognize the full voltage of the battery , even it's fully charged.
Now If anyone with some clue, pls help me out here.

I would suggest flashing with a factory cable. With it you pull the battery and the cable powers the phone so you can flash. I have one and it's been very handy. Give me a little while and I'll post a couple of links. You can make your own or buy one from xda member sKoRpn for like $10 shipped in the U.S. if you dont want to wait on me jump over to the kindlefire general forum.

Nice..Really appreciate man. I really didn't know about these factory cables. But just now I did my research.
Then again I doubt whether my phone recognizes the voltage. Anyways , definitely worth a shot.
I found some cables for sale. There are not recommended specially for Atrix2 but for Kindle Fire , Atrix , Droid Razr etc . Will those be compatible with A2 ??

Yeah man, It works on all moto phones and the kf. Really useful when you don't have a full charge on the phone.

Sounds to me like you need to get a replacement phone via warranty. Possibly the battery too. If you are with AT&T call the warranty department. If not, then call motorola and try and use their 1 year warranty to get this fixed.

My 7.7 tab is locked-up and hanged after charging, any advice?

Hello,
My tablet seems to be dead.
One day I just put it into the charger after its battery was completely empty. The next morning, the tablet was not responding at all, the charging animation logo was not moving, and when I tried to turn it on, it showed the Samsung Galaxy Tab logo and that's it, and if I turned it off, it opens again by itself and stops at Samsung logo. After some tries, I did not know what to do.
No, it had the original firmware.
It does not open the recovery menu, however, it does open the menu for updating the software - I tried to install the original firmware, but that solution does not work as well.
I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks.
I have similar experience but I am not sure if the cause was the same. First thing first, you said you put your 7.7 into a charger, if I recalled correctly stock 7.7 doesn't come with a charging cradle. Did you actually mean the wall-charger that comes with the package?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
Yes, I meant the wall-charger.
What did you do with your device?..
Can you get into download mode or recovery? If You can get into recovery do a factory reset. If you are on ICS flash honeycomb first before reset just to be safe.

I over-drained the battery like you did. Modern Li-ion batteries have over-charging and under-charging protection. Without them your battery would be damaged (or even exploded on over-charging protection failure)
In my case the undercharging prrotection kicked in thus I need to find a high and constant current to charge it back up. Any source that makes 7.7 display the charging animation could help. I went to a shop and tried many battery packs, eventually I see the charging animation again when I plugged it into a 6000mhA battery pack with 2.1A output.
I could have taken it to service centre but I don't want to wait 2-week, and I kinda need to get a battery pack for my tab so...

I am surprise that your local service center couldn't help, given that undercharging is such a common problem of this power-hunger tablet (happened to me twice).

Hi,
I'm experiencing exactly the same problem.
To resolver the issue; can you pl confirm if I need to get a battery pack or one can just charge with the charger supplied with the device?
Ive posted this before but i think these devices when get too low in battery power wont charge even with the wall charger.the charging circuits need a certain amount of power to trigger it to start charging.
anyway good to see you got it sorted..

Battery simply won't charge, have a few hypotheses

So lately I've been running into a rather annoying and inconvenient problem with my beloved S3. The thing doesn't charge well, at all. Plugged into the wall, via USB, via fast charge USB...I just can't get it to charge. I went to bed last night with the phone at around 30%, plugged it into the wall, and when I woke up 7 hours later it was at 55%....not ideal. Same result when I left it plugged into my computer overnight. At first I thought it was the wall charger, but that was ruled out when I found that I couldn't charge over usb either. My current suspect is a faulty usb cable, and unfortunately I don't have another one to test. What are the odds its damaged contacts on the inside of the phone? is there a way to test/look for that? FYI I'm running beans jellybean build 2, but this problem started when I was still on ICS. Any ideas as to what could be causing it? I've noticed high android system usage (over 50%), but I doubt that accounts for the drain I'm seeing. Any help figuring this our would be appreciated.

I had this exact same issue, eventually it stopped charging at all.
Turned out to be a fault of the phone. Called Verizon, they sent me another battery to try, didn't fix anything, they then did a warranty exchange. Got a refurb phone and it works great.

Thanks for the intel. Im actually on a refurb right now due to some issues with my launch device. Was your replacement covered under warranty at no cost? Unfortunately for me I'm abroad so I can't exactly go in to a Verizon store or call them to ship a replacement.

Do wipe the battery stats and see - wouldn't probably solve the issue but worth trying !
I too have USB problems. A normal car charger will work but when I use my USB wall/laptop/car it won't charge much. When i sleep it stops charging and I wake up to 70% battery or so. I don't know if its my cable (which it probably is) or if its my phone. Where do I go about replacing my USB?

For me I think it is my AC adapter. My phone charges faster plugged into my macbook than my wall charger.

I'll try to find a new cable and see if it works. Other than that I'm at a loss. I think I've had this problem before and fixed it with a complete drain, followed by a full charge from the wall (with phone off). I can't remember if it was this exact same situation though, and also have no idea why said solution would work.

thats crazy...my device charges in 2.5hrs plugged into the wall.
Does Samsung sell the USB on their site? I don't like things that aren't exactly made for my phone.

Amazon: OEM Cable
Although I don't think you'll have any issues with any generic cables, I've used many different cables from other phones, monoprice, amazon, etc and haven't had any issues with charging any phone I have.
Alright I just had my phone plugged in for over 7 hours to get it to 100%. I'll give a progress report when I try to charge it again. Fyi it just dropped 2% in less than a minute.
UPDATE: battery still horrible. Went back to tw nandroid to rule out the possibility of a JB leak bug

Doubtful that anyone will see this, but there's a new development. My phone's LED indicator turned green to signal a full charge while the phone was still at 91%.... whatever that means

Mine was doing that same **** before it broke when it stopped suddenly just after impact with concrete.
I was about to reflash the synergy rom I was on hoping that would fix it.
Did a reinstall fix the charging issue no now you've just got a wrong indicator or is the charging issue still there.
I totally attribute this to a degrading OS... Now I'm not so sure...
Tap'd
Still persists after multiple ROM flashes. I'm gonna get a new cable and see if that works.
Update: yup it was the cable. At least it's not the phone

Last night, out of the blue, my new to me refurb from asurion decided to not charge either.
Unplug, reboot, plug back in.. charging as normal. Wtf?

Well, its back at it.
At 16% earlier today the phone was plugged in, charged fine, fell on its face. Unplugged, battery pull, charging again then slows. 6 hours later it was up to 75% where its slowly been losing charge while plugged in.
Any idears?

On Amazon you can buy a battery with a standalone charger you could charge and swap batteries till you can get a new phone if it is now warranty replaced

Battery doesn't hold charge

Hello, my Optimus 3D P920 battery acts very weird. It doesnt hold charge, it shows as charging but after i unplug, it says low battery. I bought a replacement battery and still the same. Bought an external battery and it still acts the same. Today it charged up and stayed full up until i restarted the phone. Then it showed 2-3 percent of charge. Battery calibration didnt work. Could it be software that is faulty?I'm on 2.3.5, so should i update to official ICS?Any suggestions?

How long does they work with this 2-3%? An hour? 2h? 3h? 10h?
Do you have stock ROM or custom?
When did this start? What did you do before you got this for first time?

I was on original GB, now on Custom ICS, still the same, battery on 1%, but the phone will not turn off, i can use it fine apart from camera which doesnt open due to battery being low. Could it be that the battery connectors are faulty?

Okay flashed WKPARKS bootloader, flashed kernel you provided, but battery is still on X. What does this mean: P920/SU760: revert charging mode support to fix 0% battery (v1.21) in WKPARKS thread. Is there any option to revert battery usage or something in the new 1.21 version?
EDIT: by moving one of the metal pin things on the battery connector i managed to turn on the phone and it showed me 100% battery. Then i turned off the phone and played with the pin a lil bit more. Then again it showed 0 percent after turning on. So i guess the problem is in the battery connection port as the middle pin is faulty i guess. Now i need to purchase the whole small connector port and solder it. so far i didnt see any sites selling these charging ports separately. If anyone finds it, drop me a link. Amd thank everyone of ya for the help
I have the same problem, and a search on the internet learned me that many people have this problem.
I'm on 4.04 (official 30a rom).
When I load a battery with another O3D, then it's on 1% immediately when I put it in my phone.
And then when I put it back in the other phone, it starts to load there as well again as if it's really on 1% again.
I can only use my phone now while it's on a cable.
None of the possible solutions that I found on the web work.
It seems to be a hardware problem. It got worse over time. First it only loaded, and then emptied quickly. Now it doesn't load at all anymore.
I'm having this issue too. A way to work around it that works for me:
When charging.
1. Go to the hidden menu (3845# *920#).
2. Choose port settings.
3. Unplugg charger.
4. Select CP USB.
5. Press OK.
Now the phone shows 100% battery and you can use it untill the battery dies.

My phone is on 'No Retention"
When I played around with this option "AP USB" also seemed to work.
(work = back to original failing battery charging status)
---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 AM ----------
I fixed this problem by screwing the battery connection up...
I used a screwdriver to push and pull a bit with the battery connection points on my phone, now it's a bit messed up and bended etc.... but it works...
My original intention was to replace the connection with a working one (my father's old O3D's battery connection) but I wasn't able to get it out in the proper way. (did not really know what the proper way was). So halfway when I figured that I wasn't really pulling it out but more like pulling it apart, I quickly tried to see if it was still working, after pushing things a bit back in shape, and it was!
Lucky me!
I'm not suggesting anybody to follow the same approach, and if you do I'm certainly not responsible for it.
but that's what worked for me.
All I fear now is that it will work for a while... and then something will move again, and it'll be the end of the phone anyway
But if I can use it till the S4 Active is released, then I'm a happy guy!
When i choose AP USB it says "slow recharge" on charge!? And by choosing "no retention" there is no change! Whatz about the other choices? AP UART. ..?

I tried them all, I think.
I'm on 'slow charge' if I'm not using the official LG cable. It still seems to charge pretty quick then.
Just for the record: my 'fix' only lasted for a few days.
At least it showed to my problem was with the connector between battery and phone. I'm going to see if I can get it replaced.
Only one solution is flash original bootloader from no for sale phone,but you can get only froyo e non imei on it but charge battery and keep all of charge in normal mode.

On CMW make full backup of system on sd,copy on pc hdd for future,on sd in backup file nandroid.md5 open in notepad delete all of content and save,copy and overwrite boot.img from this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35429965#post35429965 last reply
advance restore from ext sd ,restore only boot.img.
reboot
the system if you on other of froyo release no start up but if you connect charger it will charge 100% of bater and hold them,only for test,after you can copy and overwrite the boot.img with backup from your pc and will be on same situation become backup.
For this moment last solution stay on froyo without imei because when you downgrade you can't flash baseband so no net coverage on it.
I wait for someone ho can upload original fw version v08i to get work all of thinks in froyo.last chance.
If you have backup of your first firmware you are lucky.
Hi. I've had the same problem with my p920. Tried everything what I've found on the net, but nothing did helped. Day before it happened I've restored my phone to stock because of the screen(the bottom of the screen was unresponsive). The best luck that I've had 2 months of warranty left. So they changed the whole front of my phone. And main board. Battery was the same. I think yours case is the same like mines. Hardware failure.

[Help]Sony Xperia E - RED LED unchargable battery

Hello guys , I am having a serious problem with my Sony Xperia E , it seems to be bricked. Something went wrong , I heard it happens sometimes because of software bug or whatever , and your phone goes into this sleep mode , which won't charge at all. I mean , when I plug it in to charge , the red led lights up (once every 3-4 seconds) untill it finally starts up , but when it starts up it shutdowns since the battery is 0% and not charging. On the internet I could not find any help about Sony Xperia E and this red led error. So , if anyone knows what to do.. Please help me , I'm too lazy to take it to a service and besides I don't got money to spare for it

Hi Cezar and everyone else (this is my first post),
I had the exact same problem and i was sure i bricked my phone beyond repair but there is a way to fix it. So my first thought was to externaly charge my battery but you can't do that, so i came up with a way. You will need to strip one end of the USB cable and separate the black and the red wire. The red wire is positive and the black is negative. Put the two wires between the battery and the positive and negative sockets in your phone (like shown in the pictures [attached]). And now your phone will be charging .
And do not forget, red is the postive, black the negative!
I hope this solves your problem!
P.S. Don't mind the black box, I built it just so i can use it for projects to have a power source, it's just a switch and a LED

I was in the exact same situation yesterday with my Xperia J but luckily i managed to fix it, Your battery is able to charge what's happened is it's completely flat like there's no juice left, So what you have to do Plug your charger in via Mains and leave it like that for a good hour or two, Take your phone off charge and push the power button and see if the red led flashes 3 times if it does this means your battery is still flat, So what i did next is plugged it in via USB and put it in flashmode attempting to flash stock rom back onto it, but that just completely failed so then i tried flashing CWM that did get me somewhere my phone booted up after but then it died again so i left it on charge via USB this time for one hour and it was charging as usual i then flashed Stock rom back onto it, it was still bricked after (bootloop) so i flashed it again, and it got my device back to good health, Not sure if any of that made sense but **** it :laugh:

Hi Cezar and everyone else (this is my first post),
I had the exact same problem and i was sure i bricked my phone beyond repair but there is a way to fix it. So my first thought was to externaly charge my battery but you can't do that, so i came up with a way. You will need to strip one end of the USB cable and separate the black and the red wire. The red wire is positive and the black is negative. Put the two wires between the battery and the positive and negative sockets in your phone (like shown in the pictures [attached]). And now your phone will be charging .
And do not forget, red is the postive, black the negative!
I hope this solves your problem!
P.S. Don't mind the black box, I built it just so i can use it for projects to have a power source, it's just a switch and a LED

Thanks for the post and the help , but I have a question , in this way will I still be able to get things from my PC to my device and vice-versa ? or it will make it chargeable only ?
And also , is this the only way to deal the problem ? And do you have any ideea what causes this ?
Hi cezar,
Just keep your phone on origenal charger and cable for an hour. This should work.

Well with this method you will need a spare USB cabel for data transfer/flashing because this one will be just a USB on the one side and stripped wires on the other.
This is the only way I found how to deal with this problem, you could always find someone with the same phone so that he can charge your battery for you.
This problem is a symptom of a soft brick. I guess you flashed a ROM that isn't stable so you found yourself in a loop. My advice is to do one of the things I said and in the future flash nee ROMs with at least 50% battery so you don't find yourself in this situation!
P.S. Try SONYs Emma, thats a cute little program for flashing stock ROMs especially in situations like this one.

In my case this disnt't work because my phone was stuck in a loop, it would start charging, boot up by itself, get to the point that it has 0% battery and power off by itself.

hmm I just thought about this. I do have indeed a custom ROM , but this didn't happen in process of flashing. just randomly , a month maybe I after cyanogenmod 11. Anyways , I just thought about this. What if I get another batterry from one of my friends , flash back to stock on my device and then give back the battery to that guy. Wouldn't that just work ?

[Q] [Help! Phone stuck at 5%]

Hi, I have had my Motorola Atrix HD for 2 years now and just today my phone was stuck at 5%. I tried to see if it was my charger but it wasn't, then I looked at the battery and it looked normal as usual so I tried to just clean like the dust off the charger. I also tried to reset my phone to see if that helped but still no luck... I don't know what to do! Is my phone broke? The reason I want it fixed is because obviously the warranty is gone and I can't purchase a new phone. So I just want to see if anyone can help me... I forgot to mention that when I power off the phone it turns on ( plugged in to charger) shows a battery with a question mark in it. So please if anyond can help please do
