[Q] Charging problems - Nokia Lumia 1020

Occasionally my Lumia is completely drained of battery (usually if I've been out and haven't had the possibility of charging). But when I start charging my dead phone it usually takes between 1-2 hours before I can turn it on again. If I try it just show the "low battery/now charging"-symbol. Is that normal or is there a quick fix?

Try when fully charged a soft reset and post the results. After my soft reset my battery life is awesome, but I never let it turn off from battery.
I charged it this morning and with minimal use, after 6 hours I have 95%

Once my 1020 is fully charged, it can be 16 hours of standby before the charged percentage drops below 100% , how do i do a soft reset?
thanks

To soft reset, press and hold Power and Volume buttons (for 15 seconds) at same time until your phone vibrates 3 times.

A soft reset can be accomplished by pressing power and volume down until 3 vibrations. But why would you reset it if you have 100% after 16 hours?

Because it`s wrong, i got up yesterday and found my 1020 dead, the battery totally flat, no wifi, gps, or bluetooth were active, so i did a full charge and now the percentage seems to be OK, fingers crossed.

[Q] Battery or charger at fault?

I have a locked & unrooted WW TF700 & genuine dock on JB 4.2.1.
A week ago I started to notice an issue where the tab would constantly drain whilst it should have been asleep. Overnight it would loose ~30% instead of ~2%. I tried a few settings, but couldn't seem to solve it. I decided to do a factory reset because I haven't done one since I last upgraded to jelly bean. That appears to have cured that problem, but has created two more.
The first problem is that I can't seem to charge the tab over 81% when being charged directly. If I then plug it into a fully charged dock it will charge to 90% but no more, even with the charging cable in the dock.
The second problem is that the tab now decides to shut off at about 30% battery left. It won't shutdown as normal, just go blank and won't boot up again without being charged a little first. I have read threads about artificially overcharging the tab, but a symptom of that is the battery level will remain at 100% for hours before starting to drain normally. My tab won't charge to 100% and will start to drain immediately after removing the charging cable. Regardless I have tried to drain and recharge overnight with the tab both off and on but the tab won't charge past 76% overnight in either case. Restarting multiple times doesn't help at all.
For the first issue I started to suspect the charger may be at fault. This is because if I charge the tab directly, it will never get past 81%. However, if I then plug it into the freshly charged dock it will charge upto 90%. I understand that the dock will never charge the tab past 90%, unless it is plugged into the charger. Does it assume in my case that it isn't plugged in to a charger even when it is? I should mention I am using the original asus charger. Frustratingly I can't just use my phone charger to see if it solves the problem due to the 15v of the asus charger. I have noticed a slight hum/buzz coming from the charger but I can't be sure that it didn't do that before. I have had issues with the internal connections not be pushed together quite right before and getting no charge out of it, but 'clicking it together' a bit more firmly did the trick there.
Even with an overnight charge, plugged into the dock to get it to 90% I now get terrible battery life. Roughly 30mins per 10% juice. Previously I was getting around an hour per 10%.
Does anyone have an suggestions for me on how to eliminate the charger as a problem, or say doing another factory reset on a 'full charge'? The only other thing I can think of is to let it drain, give it enough charger to turn back on, then turn it off and leave it unplugged overnight (I saw it mentioned in another thread). I really appreciate any help you can give before I have to try the dreaded warranty route!
Try this with it undocked. Let the battery discharge to zero, and leave it 24 hours.
Then recharge it fully. This seems to cure the battery calibration memory issues.most us know how you get on.
Luckily I have located an Asus charger to borrow and hopefully find out if it is just my charger or not.
I also tried out CPU-Z and the battery is reporting as only having 7mV. I'm sure that can't be correct as my HOX+ is around 3500mV, and 7mV just couldn't power anything. I don't know if this is just CPU-Z issue with reporting correctly, or a clue that there is something not right with my battery? Has anyone else tried CPU-Z or know what the mV should be roughly, fully charged say?
Unfortunately a different charger didn't solve my issue :'(
I've posted a screenshot to show what is happening. I'll try draining the battery flat and leaving 24 hours to see what happens then. Luckily I still have two months left on warranty.
Pretty annoying because everything else the tablet does is fantastic. I replaced my laptop with it and use it daily for everything.

Unfortunately things have become worse. I tried using the tab until it died (at around 50% battery this time...) and left for 24 hours as suggested. Unfortunately now I can't get the tab to turn on or take a charge at all. I have tried holding power button down, with vol up/down, for over a minute etc. Tried the reset button all numerous times with no luck. All I get is the LED blink twice when pressing the power button and this only happens when the charger is connected, otherwise nothing.
I have the phone number for Asus support and will be giving them a call tomorrow. I'm so glad I never unlocked my device!

Leave it for 24 hours not on charge first then try again. We've seen this happen so many times - the fix is to let it discharge completely.

Thanks Sbdags, I appreciate your response. I've read numerous threads tonight with similar issues. I did try leaving the tab for 24 hours completely dead overnight last night. I'll try it again (I don't know if the battery is dead or not currently) but I'll leave it unplugged as there is nothing else for me to do with it anyway!
OK, I thought I would complete this thread.
After leaving my tablet for a few more days not on charge I could seem to get no life out of it whatsoever so went down the RMA route and the result of that is in the following thread;

What is the expected behaviour for charging a unit with a deep discharged battery?
Immediately after plugging in a charger the white notification LED will turn on. This LED will turn off, when the battery is charged to a sufficient level to power the display (could take up to 10 minutes before the display turns on). Tapping on the power key will wake up the display and the phone will display the "lightning bolt" icon over the battery meter. The display will time out, but charging will continue. Phone should remained plugged in (at idle) for up to 5 hours for a full charge. It will take longer, if phone is in use.
Thanks. can boot on already.. :good::good:

if nothing else works just plug the phone to a charger and hold the power button for at least 2-3minutes. the white led should blink a few times. after that leave it charging for an hour and than turn it on by pressing the power button.
this was the only thing that worked for me.
Fixed
Faced the same problem, the phone had ran out of charge completely and and switched off. Plugged it in to the wall charger but that wasnt of any help. Connected to my laptop and same result!! Wont Charge! Held the power button for about 2-3 minutes and the LED flickered 2-3 times and the 0% Battery screen showed up. Showing the same screen at the moment. Hopefully its charging.

Thank you for this advice - I followed it and it worked. I had my Moto G plugged in for hours prior to trying this with no success.
When you press the power button, 18 seconds probably won't be long enough so keep holding the power button. I had to hold the button for around 3 to 4 minutes but it worked eventually.
It Works!! Thanks!!!

Oh!!! I almost got a heart attack I guess . Because, Moto-G was the only smart phone that never gave me any trouble. Even my Samsung Galaxy 3 LTE gave a lot of headaches . When this acted dead, I was really upset. Your solution worked fine I guess. Screen just appeared. Still on 0%, but apparently it is charging now. :laugh:
Thanks Karan. Your solution is the best. Costs nothing :angel:
I had the same problem, but at least for me the above trick didn´t work. The phone simple dind´t boot, or display any notification light.
I left the phone over night at the charcher and nothing... Tried multiple chargers, computer ports, laptop ports, etc etc, and still nothing...
Then I went and read online a little bit more about lithium ion batteries and found out that the trick is to let the phone of the charger for a couple of hours (for me was about 5 hours) and then the phone will reconized the phone.
Hope this helps someone in the same situation. (If the press and hold trick dind't work).
Worked !
I bought moto g yesterday ,I faced the same problem which scared the hell out of me! But after power key for longer time ,now the 0%
battery is displayed ! Damn relief ! Hope it's charging now !:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Moto G dead after deep discharge
Hi, my first generation moto g is dead. Continuous notification lights get on when I plug the charger. Please note that notification light is neither blinking nor getting off. Tried everything which is mentioned here but no luck so far.
Please help.
Nitin
Same here
Gesendet von meinem SM-G800F mit Tapatalk
I had same problem - when the charger was plugged in the notification light shone continuously. I fixed this by opening the set, removing the battery (there are nice videos explaining this in youtube) and recharging it using external charger in a repair shop. Once it was charged for about an hour, plugged it back in, was able to boot normally and charge it normally.
However, since this incident, I have found that the battery life has decreased drastically. I now only have 8 hours of battery life after full recharge, even when I put the phone to sleep. For instance, if I charge the phone to 100% before going to sleep, the battery is down to 30% when I wake up!
Has anybody had this problem?
My Moto G2, when plugged in powersocket, keeps on rebooting from Moto logo screen, but when plugged in USB port of computer can get to fastboot menu and shows battery charging but removing it shows zero. and it does turn on by factory mode and shows the lighting bolt of charging, but is not getting charged. also phone testing menu by *#*#4636#*#* shows battery health is good, but is not charging. can any one help.

Haywire battery usage over night

Hey guys. I always restart my phone before I go to bed, and I never charge it overnight. I just charge it the 1,5 hrs I have before I leave the house in the morning.
Usually this works fine, but this morning the phone was very hot. Very very hot. I've never held a so hot handset before. I had to hold down power and volume to even get it on.
It went from 60-ish to 27% overnight and as you can see from the screenshot, there's a hole in the graph, with no apps apparently being logged as consumers overnight.
Anyone got any ideas about this?

might want to do a full charge and see if problem persists. meaning 0-100%
1. Clear all app in task manager. Restart phone sometimes.
2. To force phone shutdown, press both Power button + Volume up button at same time.

Battery issues

Just got home from school to find my phone on 34%. It went from 100% to 34% in 5 hours. When I saw it was 34% I looked up in disbelief, when I looked down it was on ****ing 22%. (12% down in a fraction of a second) I decided to restart it to maybe get the battery to display the right percentage, but when I booted up I got the 30 seconds until shutdown warning because the battery was drained. What gives? Anyone have issues like this?
Calibrate battery.
Discharge completely until it doesn't even boot.
Having the phone off, let it charge completely.
Once charged, turn it on at let it still connected to power socket for 10m.
Disconnect from power and you're done.
If this doesn't help, then factory reset. Or install a battery monitor app to track app drain.

Samsung Gear S3 Frontier dead

Hi all.
I've had my gear for about 2 years now.
One day, about a month ago I forgot to put it in the charger and the battery drained totally. After this small incident I can't get the watch to start anymore.
I'ts completely dead, does not respond when I try pressing/holding buttons, charging it or whatever. The charger starts blinking red after a short while.
I also tried to solder a USB cable to the connections on the motherboard but no reaction with that either..
I've tried to replace the battery the other day and success, it started!! But, only for an hour or so, now it's dead again, exactly like before.
The battery that sits in the watch right now is almost fully charged and measures 3.7 volts directly on the contact surfaces.
Anyone got an idea what to try next?
Note that it's completely dead and does NOT respond to any pressing of the buttons or charging it in any way.
Regards
Emil
If correct soldered wires...
Then charging via USB possible...
Try maybe for 30 minutes to charge via USB...
Check if device will be hot
Maybe Hardware damage...
You could check Service Manuals... Schematics:

Lithium battery fully charged are at "4.20V". "3.7V" is the nominal voltage (mean stay at 3.7V 80% of the time during discharge time).
Samsung Gear S3 Battery Issue Fix
Samsung S3 Frontier Learning Mode found for charging issue SM-R760. The solution (keep in the charger while doing resets) is to reset the watch 8 to 10 times and keep holding the power button and shutting it off about another 10 times. This is unusual however my battery went from 1%, 4%, 16% and the flashing red light stopped and went to 100% charge in 2 1/2 hrs. I will keep the forum informed any changes if this reoccurs. I definitely think the latest update blew-up the cache in watch and somehow takes multiple resets and power button presses to reset the functionality of Samsungs mistakes.

change battery 100% but not working power on/off
I changed the battery because it was no longer charging. Recharged and gave 100% charge but now the power button does not turn on. He charges but does not care. Any suggestion?
Thank you.

Were you able to resolve this issue? Looks like I did the same as well.
I got the same problem. :crying:
It is supposed to have 100% battery but in about two minutes it drops to 90% and turns off.
