Phone won't charge - stuck at 0% - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Moto G ran out of charge earlier so I put it on charge and it has been stuck at 0% for the last two hours, it usually takes about five minutes for it to start up again (It usually starts up automatically when charging) but nothing is happening. I tried holding the power button and volume down button at the same time and launch from there but it just goes back to the 0% screen so I have no idea what to do!

Try this perhaps..

That is what I tried but it didn't work.
Now it won't even show the 0% screen and the LED is not flashing to tell me I have no battery...

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.

Same here

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.

Sleep of Death?

I was on stock Lollipop which I flashed straight from Google's website; and rooted it later.
Last night I slept without putting my phone to charge, I woke up to find it switched off. I switched it on, and it showed 2% battery. I was able to connect the charger only for a minute or so since there was a power cut. So the phone was at 3-4% now. Then of course in 5-10 minutes it reached 0% (I saw it powering off).
Since then I've had it charging with 3 separate chargers for an hour each, but my phone is completely unresponsive. There's no 'charging' symbol that comes on even when the phone is off, it doesn't respond to the power button, nothing.
I've tried holding the power button for 2+ minutes, I've tried Vol down+power for 1 minute, Vol Up + power for 1 minute but still nothing.
What could be going on? I know for a fact the charging port was fine since it was in fact charging a few minutes before it switched off.
Maybe try a battery replacement? Can be a number of things though

Can't charge

This phone has worked weird since forever. Shutting off even at 25%. Sometimes it said 45% battery, reboot and it changed to 7%...
Today it was at 1%. I connected it to the wall charger but nothing happened so it run out of bat. Now when I plug it the red led blinks, SONY logo appears, then the battery with the flash as it was actually charging. But just for half a sec, because then it goes off and repeates that cycle again and again and again...
I've tried taking the battery out for 5min, then tried, but nothing happened.
Any ideas? I can't really afford a new phone.

Regarding Battery Issue

All of a sudden my opo shuts off below 15% mark.... The warning pops and shuts down to the Chinese logo comes up... This started happening from last two days.... I've never faced such issue before the battery sot 4h30min approx but it shuts below 15% I'm rooted and on Sultan latest build... Please help..

Assuming your battery and charger are not damaged:
You need to calibrate your battery. When it shuts down (at 15% like you said) wait 5/10 min and turn it on again. If device turn on, let it die again and plug the charger. Let it charge for about 5/6 hours and then unplug charger, turn on device, plug charger again for about 2/3 hours. After that you don't need and is not recommended to charge your device below 15%/20%

sleep of death or sth else?

Hi there,
so apparently my phone battery died today when my phone fell under my car seats.
tried to charge it at work but only had a charger <1A, thought that was too less because it wouldn't move from the 1% screen.
at some point i noticed it wasn't really charging no matter the charger.. tried some tricks from this and other forums. right now it will display the 1% screen when plugged in but the LED is not lit. i can power it up but ofc with a low batt like that it will vibrate briefly and shut off after like 10-15 secs.
pressing vol+ and power button leads to vibrating 3 times and seemingly soft reset, i can plug it in after that and the LED is lit red for charging, but will stop after like 15-30 minutes (1.5A charger) and display 1% screen again.
yellow switch, do i hold that one down 5-10sec with or without any charger plugged in?
as said, without pressing anything after soft reset now i can briefly press power and the screen shows it's "stuck" at the 1% screen, after being plugged in for like half an hour, after the first 15 mins the red LED went out. i'll leave it like this over night but don't have much hope, think it aint charging without the red LED lit?
any input on how i can reboot this thing properly without loosing any data on my phone is greatly appreciated!
oh and i also read the battery cable/contacts inside can be disconnected.. as said the phone fell down in the car, could that be a problem with the symptoms i'm seeing as well?
quick update, let it plugged over night and in the morning it was still showing 1% and no LED.
unplugged it and pushed yellow button for 15 secs, with no reaction. let it sit some minutes and plugged it again, red LED for some secs, then 1% screen and no LED again.
came back after an hour and it shows 30% charge and boots up!
however, no charging LED whatsoever and once booted, it doesn't charge any more (no charging icon anyways).
turned the phone off again and will try to charge it that way..
still seems strange whatever is going on here.
any input?
I hope someone who knows more about this issue comes by to help you! All I think of to ask is if your phone is maybe only charging when the display is on? I have a GPD XD that won't charge if the display is off, it can be plugged in for hours and the battery won't increase. Found that out with a charger that lights up... so I have set it to daydream when charging and it charges that way. I don't know if this will help you at all, if maybe your device is sleeping a little TOO deep :laugh:
