Phone dead. Can't charge. Won't turn on.

I've been looking at numerous threads on numerous sites for a few hours now and can't find a solution to my problem with the methods already given (most of them say the problem is solved by flashing the new CWM but as I can't even turn the phone on...)
My battery was around 10% when I turned it off to reboot it today but it never came back on from the reboot cycle. I've tried all the methods people have given :
pull the battery and put back in, pull the battery then back in then charge for 20 minutes then pull battery and put back in....etc. The only solution I can think of is stripping a cable and charging the battery manually. I really don't want to do this and damage my battery.
I'm running v1.0 of LeeDroid's ROM with the stock kernel.
Can anyone give me another option? Help me Obi xda Kenobi.
Edit : I should add that I do have the latest CWM as far as I know. Yes the text was orange.

It seems like the easiest way to fix it is this.... and the credit goes to Rsotbiemrptson.
1. If you have another phone like a myTouch 4G, Nexus or similar, take the battery and line it up to the Sensation's contacts (battery doesn't fit so you have to hold it)
2. Hold Volume Down and power on to boot into HBOOT then go to RECOVERY.
3. Go to Mounts and Storage and mount USB storage.
4. Transfer stock TMOUS recovery to sdcard, unmount, and go back to HBOOT so it may detect the PG58IMG.zip file and flash it.
5. Put original Sensation battery in and it will start charging. Just reflash CWM later on.
I have attached the file. This worked great for me and only took less than ten minutes.

I wonder what the hell is causing this? I can just see myself at work, not knowing my pos htc battery is being molested by whatever it is that mysteriously drains it in standby from time to time, and find it is dead and the phone won't boot up.
Sheesh!
Matt

I had exactly the same problem with mine - ended up being replaced under warranty. Bizarre problem.

I just tried this with my girlfriends G2X. The battery isn't able to touch the contacts. Don't have another phone around : /

Try to turn the phone on without the battery, just have the microUSB cable plugged in. I can't test it because I have Body Glove Armor on it and is really hard to take off, but give it a shot. Worked on previous androids. Example(s): Huawei Ascend, Samsung Moment, LG Optimus M.

Oh. Sorry, when you are charging the phone, does it show a RED LED?

I have the same problem!
It charges for 15 seconds or so and then...boom! LED stop blinking
Please tell me what I have to do!

Which recovery do you have currently?

It'll blink once, twice, three times. Then hold orange for a few seconds then blink once, twice, three times and then no more LED

So it seems you guys are having a microUSB failure, as it sounds. I will tell you why I say this. Because if the phone charges for a few seconds, and just stops, then that is contact failure. Try using different a microUSB cable. Also tell me what Clockwork you have and if you powered off in fast-boot or not.

I've tried 3 or 4 micro USB cables by now. As far as I know I flashed the newest CWM a day or two ago via the app from the market. And no fast-boot IS off.

What??? You flashed via Market. Did you even S-OFF??? The last thing you should do is flash from ROM Manager or whatever you used. Read this post and it will tell you how to flash recovery and stuff when you get this fixed!

But ok. So you have anyway of charging the phone?
Ohh. And I'm not screaming or flaming you.

Not really. I'll just go into the T-Mobile store tomorrow and tell them my battery is ****ed and demand a new one lolz.
And of course I used that post to obtain S-off. Wouldn't have been able to do it without it =P. I originally flashed CWM manually before it had official support but once the dev added the Sensation added I flashed his official one via the ROM Manager app. I even booted into it to install LeeDroid's ROM so it obviously works.

Batteries not charging.

Hi, so i say batteries because i already tried 3 different ones. My problem started in gingerbread when i could not charge pass 50~60%, won't even matter how much time i have it "charging", then i rooted and install the AT&T release of ICS 4.0.4, then some days later it started to won't charge pass 1% and sometimes lowers to 0% and if i disconnect turns off, and connected never charges. I have tried with different chargers also, i have tried every forum "solution", factory resetting, procedure and no luck. If i go into CWM and delete batterystats or to do anything, the phone doesn't turn off, that's weird also. I bought an external charger and charged the three batteries to full, and when i put it in the phone, android still says 1% or 0% and turns off if i disconnect.
So anybody who can help me with this, i would extremely grateful. Thanks

Hi, yes i have bbs installed and i dont see any weird wakelocks, right now is just audio, which i read is normal. Today i get a 4th new charger and cable OEM Samsung to try, but honestly i dont think it will help.
The thing that confuses me the most, is that i charged every battery I've tried in an external charger, so the battery IS actually full, but when i put it in the phone, android still says 1% or even 0%. :crying:

Charge the battery in another phone or device, if you can. That would be the only option.

To be honest it sounds like something you may have installed or run on your phone, you said it started only a few days after upgrading to ICS which I'm guessing is how long it took you to finish restoring everything from GB.
My advice is to do a complete reset to the phone using kies, let it run for a few days with the minimal stuff you need and then start adding few apps at a time and wait to see if everything runs ok.

He can't do anything to it, no battery life, it will get stuck at flash or reset (kies) and brick.
The charger doe not charge, so he can;t even do it with the usb plugged. If he had power there are lot's of thing to test, ODIN or flash.

I'm out of warranty time now.

He said he already used an external charger and it didn't help, unless all 3 of his batteries are trash it's an issue with the phone.
He also said as long as his phone stays connected it runs fine so using kies should work I guess.
If nothing works I'd say it's some type of hardware issue and that means he will have to pay for a repair or he will have to upgrade.

Just take it to a small shop that unlocks or fixes phones, something small but nice looking, with bunch of phones for sale. Not Bestbuy or something)
They would usually ship the phone to a factory for fixing, that means they ship it to Samsung facility where some dude does work on the side.
I had my main board replaced to OEM for $190 where Rogers doing same would have charged me $420.
Your problem should not cost much, but you can;t put price on how relived you would be once it's fixed)

Hi, just to make an update, i did uninstall some stuff with root uninstaller, now the battery charges!! BUT to about 15~17%, then starts to discharge itself even connected to a charger. :crying:

So I suggest to do what I said before, start from fresh and install slowly, something must have screwed with your rom.

Would you recommend to install the stock release of ICS 4.0.4 or a custom rom? if so which is the best ?Im considering using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763195. Thank you

OK, so i installed this custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763195, the battery charges to about 19%, then starts discharging itself being connected to the charger. This is driving me crazy, i have tried so may things and nothing, been a few weeks without using the phone normally. :crying:

First go fresh stock using kies to see if the issue still persists, if it does it's probably a hardware issue. If you know someone that has a device with a battery thats works fine and it fits your device ask him to try it out so you can be certain it's your device and not all of your batteries.

Ok, i did all that i could, reinstalling stock GB 2.3.5, same problem. So im pretty sure it is a hardware issue, or possibly the 3 batteries i have are trash. I will see some place in san antonio texas, that can fix it. Thanks for the help everyone. Sadly this stuff happens, but what can you do.
PS. If someone sees this and thinks that can fix my problem ill gladly discuss payment for your work. Pm me. Thanks.

[Q] Atrix2 battery issues , seems hardware

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?

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.

[Q] Bizarre HTC One X Charging/USB problem!!

I'm hoping some of you wise heads on here might be able to help me out with a problem that has got me totally and utterly stumped!
Last week I was using my One X and noticed the battery was down to aorund 14%. I plugged it into a charger and nothing happened...no light...nothing. I tried various different chargers and cables to pc etc and nothing seemed to do anything.
After leaving the phone plugged into the mains for a few hours, I noticed that a very slow/long flashing red/amber light appeared. It kind of stays on for 5 seconds and then off for the same amount of time. I left the phone in this state for about 14 hours and when turning on it would say battery was somewhere between 0%, 1% and 2% and would promptly switch itself off.
I messed about for hours on end trying many different button combinations, sim in/out and came to this bizarre conclusion.........If I plug the phone into the mains for a few minutes, then press power and volume down to get to the HBOOT menu then hold power in again to reboot, the phone reboots into the OS and is functional. It still reads as having 0% or 1% battery and shows as not charging, but it must be getting some juice for it to be working. If I leave the phone in this state for a while I can then unhook it from the charger and use it as normal, even though battery is displaying as 0%. I can use the phone like this for some time, although the battery does not appear to last as long.
Also, the phone is not recognised at all by the PC when plug in via usb when in android os - nothing at all shows in device manager, but it is recognised from the fastboot menu and tries to install device drivers.
Has anybody got any clue if I can save my HOX or am I without a paddle?? Many thanks in advance

Is your phone completely Stock? or is it bootloader unlocked/rooted? I'm pretty positive this is a hardware issue, you can rule it out by RUUing if you're Stock. If you're not stock, you can still RUU but if you should S-OFF first.

Thanks for the quick repIy. I was hoping you weren't going to say a hardware issue :crying: The phone is totally stock and unrooted.

Sorry for the bad news, I would repost in the international one x forum as you have a different phone as us Quad core VS Dual core. I don't think the response will be much different but they should also have the proper RUU links for your phone. Good Luck.

Ok I'll do that. Thanks for the advice, it is greatly appreciated.

Hello there!
I have same issue, but when I flash a kernel. I flashed the AlexV 2.4 RC kernel and usb masstorage works again. BUT becuse I wipe battery status some times now if y boot the phone chargin, it sais that is chargin, but when I disconnect the cable still chargin
Anyway, I have HTC One X tegra 3 quadcore from argentina. And all this chargin issues is about the kernel/rom tweaks. If you boot on recovery and the phone charge ok (sho the led) and the mount of the sd on recovery works, its 100% rom/kernel problem.

New third-party battery issues

I just got a new battery, a fliptroniks 2000mAh. I put it in my phone and plugged the charger in now it shuts off and then the screen flashes on and off the beginning of the charging battery sequence (the circle of dots). I let it sit thinking it would charge but it just flashes the circle of dots on and off. It never did this with the original battery I have.
I am running BeanStalk Build 4.3.05 - MTD - Android 4.3 - 8/19/2013 with the 7/26/2013 GAPPs and have CWM 6.0.3.7. I tired charging the battery while in CWM and it does the same thing.
I've tried searching xda/google and haven't found a good solution except for to go back to using the original battery or use an external charger. Both aren't really a useful solution for me. I really need a longer lasting battery since my original one is awful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried searching xda/google and haven't found a good solution except for to go back to using the original battery or use an external charger. Both aren't really a useful solution for me. I really need a longer lasting battery since my original one is awful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I already did that. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't believe my issue is that, since this is only happening with the new battery I just bought. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the battery or android. I can try and record what it does when so there is a visual reference. I'll try adding it this weekend.
Any other suggestions?

trying to determine if the problem lies in hardware of software(os) is simple.
try the hardware on stock gb unmodded and then compare it's behavior to the custom rom
when ever you get a glitch (sound/video/bt/signal/wifi) etc..flash it back to stock and you can make the determination yourself

Well I just flashed back to stock and the battery does the same thing. I was also sent another one and it does exactly the same. >.< I really don't think I could get two bad batteries in a row but anything is possible. What else could cause this?

possibilities:
1. bad usb charge port
2. bad charge cable or power block
3. corrosion anywhere along the power line
4. power button sticky or failure
suggestions:
1. change usb cable
2. change usb charge block
3. open phone and clean up suggested areas
if that doesn't work consider:
1. sending back to manufacturer for repair
2. alternative repair -mobiletechvideo, repairuniverse
3. give the phone away
4. sell the screen
5. get a new phone

I'm starting to think this battery series just isn't working correctly with my phone (possibly not working with any Infuse). I have no problem charging my original battery that came with the phone with any charger I have. Has anyone else had issues with third party batteries? I didn't think going to a 2000mAh battery would be this much of a hassle.
