On my replacement tab running latest 3.1.1 my battery light blinks green orange after charging overnight. Once I open the smart cover, it shows charged and then the light changes green. No other problems I can tell and the battery temp seems OK in gsam. I am using an Anker charger that I used previously with the old tab. I am going to disable xposed and charge with the stock charger to see if it does the same thing.
Anyone else experience this? Thanks.
I have seen this when charging the tablet in the OFF state. It seems to blink when it's done charging. Went away when I booted it.
I also have a similar problem. The led light of my replacement tablet:
1. blinks all the time (orange green) when tablet is fully charged. This happens when the replacement tablet during charging is switched off.
2. is aproximatly 30 second green then starts blinking (orange green) and then is orange and after a while is again green then again starts blinking and this happens over and over again. This happens when the replacement tablet during chargning is powered on.
There is never solid green charging led light even if I have tried to use diferent chargers
I hope this is not a serious problem which could damage the battery of the replacement tablet. I have never seen something like that during charging of different android devices.

I had the same problem. Then it quit charging completely. I did some searching online and found a solution. Turns out the green wire from the battery had come loose. Soldered the green wire back in to place and it works. No more blinking and it's charging.
If you are going to do this, please be careful when removing the black tape strip. You may accidentally pull some of the other wires soldered to the board.
Hope this helps.

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have an Idea what fast blinking amber light means on DS?
My battery was low around 2% and I connected it to the stock charger and started watching a movie, after 10 mins or so my phone switched off and amber colored light started to flash, I am not able to switch it on now and after 30 mins or so even the blinking light went off.
Had Aplha CM10 ROM flashed and was working normally till now keeping my fingers crossed that it is not bricked. Please tell me it is not:crying:
EDIT:
Solved: Finally revived my phone by directly charging the battery from the USB port of my laptop. Seems the battery went too flat to charge itself in the phone.

Did it start charging when you connected the charger? when the desire S has no battery at all, and you connect the power, the light blinks, meaning that it hasn't got enough power to boot
So just make sure the charger works and leave it charging for a couple of minutes untill you get the classic charging LED on, and then try to boot again

Thanks TataoValverde, so I guess it is not bricked. I had left the phone connected to the charger overnight but still it doesn't boot so it means it is not charging. Now nothing happens not even blinking light
So is there anyway i can revive it??
Make sure the battery is making connection - use a piece of paper to hold it firmly in place if necessary.
Try a different charger - any USB one should be fine.
Or buy a new battery as its much cheaper than a new phone.
If the charging circuitry on the phone is screwed then there is nothing you can really do unless you fancy changing the main board.
Hi,
Last year my girlfriend allowed me to root her Sensation to try out different ROMs and all went well. A few months ago however, she started to have problems while charging her phone.
If she plugs it in while the phone is closed, the orange LED flashes on/off at around a 2 second interval, instead of holding it's colour. Furthermore, it never changes to green to indicate that the charge is complete. When the phone is in this state, she can't turn her phone on either - she has to unplug it in order to turn it on. If the phone is already on, and she plugs it in, everything behaves normally.
Either than that, the battery seems to hold the charge normally and the rest of the phone still works very well.
I've tried searching for similar problems but haven't landed on anything similar or which may be helpful. It's really got me stumped to what could be the cause, and more importantly, how to fix it!
Would someone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Does the phone behaves in same manner if it's fully charge n switched off when plugged to the charger.does the orange led fluctuate.
The orange led fluctuate whn the voltage of charger is less and it takes times to charge try switching the charger means if you use wall charger then charge through pc and vice versa
Hit thanks button if you find me helpfully

We tried switching from wall plug to USB on the laptop and it does the same thing. However, we noticed that if the battery isn't completely drained, the led doesn't flash - it charges normally.
Would there be a way around this?
I'd pick on the odds that the LED light hardware controller is slightly faulty, but if its really like you said its nothing to worry about, right?

Hi,
greetings
this used to happen with me when i was on stock rom.
the problem is when the battery is completely drained it needs lots of voltage to get charge
for this problem i took my cell to htc service center and they replaced the adapter and the problem was solved
i think you must buy a new adapter or say a new charger i thing that must solve your problem of led and your phone will get charge as normal even with the battery completely drained OR i think we get wall chargers you can look at the picture in which we have to place the battery and the battery gets charged you justt have to put the battery.. this charger is locally available in indian market for 80 to 100 rs.. you can search on net for the charger this is really a good thing and is a universal charger chagers each and every battery here in india we call it as khekda (marathi word for carb ) charger
let me know if it does solve your battery
Well one day it seems the tablet won't charge. Typically the LED by the power button will glow orange when its plugged in. It doesn't anymore and it doesn't show that its charging. The LED is also constantly green now...
I've managed to somewhat charge it (by accident) by loading it into bootloader mode (i think its charging) as the LED is orange when its plugged in.
WTF happened and how can I fix this piece of ****
Owned it for 3-4 years, never had an issue, rarely used it for prolonged hours.
Its rooted and is on beanstalk rom.
Welcome, i've readed alot of topics on the internet about problems similar to this, but nothing fixed my problem. I've tried connecting to wall/pc charger, power button + volume down/up combinations, really all the thing.
Couple days ago after my phone fully discharged ( I rarely had situation like this, I usually charge when my phone have 10-15%, but this day I couldn't. ) I came back home and tried to charge my phone, red light was ON but it still didn't charge after alot of hours. I then tried to fix it, turning on phone etc. but screen was always black and phone didn't want to charge. At first when I tried to boot the Z3 red light was blinking, but after some time it stopped. I ordered new battery, replaced it carefully (though it's battery problem) - then when I connected the new battery for the first time I though I have fixed the problem, battery charging icon showed up for a moment on screen, I was very happy. Then I disconnected charger so I could assemble my phone. Now when I try to charge my phone problem is this same.. like with old battery - Just red light, not turning ON, not blinking. Powering up Key combinations with volume don't fix it. My PC Companion don't see phone. I disassembled my phone again, disconnected battery and connected it - It didn't showed any battery icon again, so why it did when I connected it for the first time? and why when my phone died for the first time red light was blinking, now it doesn't? I want to add that I never dropped my phone or used it in water - never, thats why I was almost sure maybe just battery died after it discharged.
Btw. Important thing is that USB port isn't broken, red light is always ON when I plug USB charger, but when I try to use my magnetic charger, phone never respond - no light. I also tried different cables, chargers etc. Could it really be something with the mainboard?
What could've happen? Why my phone went dead after fully discharged it ? Why battery replacement doesn't fix the problem? I don't get it, is mainboard damaged or something? Can I still try something? Maybe anyone can help me.
Please :/ I cannot afford a new phone right now, really want to try fix it, maybe somehow connecting USB cable straight without usb port can fix it? I heared people do something like this.
I have never had any problem with my Nexus 5. It is now my standby device. Accordingly it doesn't get used much. One day I left it ON and didn't use it for 2 weeks. When I picked it up again it was OFF and didn't want to turn on. Naturally I thought the battery had drained and put it to charge.
Instead of the battery symbol on the screen (indicating it is being charged), I get a sequence of 8 red blinks on the bottom notification light (which is just above the charging port), each blink lasting 0.5 seconds, then 0.5 seconds off (so total duration of blinking sequence is 8 seconds), then 1.5 seconds off, then blinking sequence starts again.
I left it connected to the charger for 2 weeks. Nothing changed.
I then replaced the battery with a brand new OEM battery, same thing again.
I cannot get into recovery mode nor is the phone recognised when I connect it to the PC.
Any ideas? Anyone knows the meaning of this blinking sequence?

what is the current state of the phone? do you just get the blinking when charge cable connected? no boot loop ?
So currently the phone doesn't switch on and cannot be charged it would seem.
There is no bootloop.
And yes, the blinking only goes on whilst a charging lead is connected or whilst it's on a wireless charging cradle. No blinking when removed from the charger.

you said you replaced the battery , I would check that connection , try removing the battery if possible and reconnecting it. Try the old battery too if you still have .
In my experience i'v seen that blinking light in other devices when they overheat.
I only replaced the battery because of the blinking problem as I suspected a deep discharged battery. Anyway the connections are good. 100%.
I never had overheat issues on my N5 as it was just used for basic functions, no gaming etc. I wouldn't imagine the device had overheated while it was left unattended on my desk, and there definitely is no overheating happening now as it doesn't even switch on...

sounds like your hammerhead finally checked out ... the old saying goes " if you don't use it, you lose it " .... try all combinations like hold power and volume down at the same time for 10 seconds , power and volume up ..etc
other than that i'd take a multi meter and make absolute sure you have power to the motherboard , then if you still do, it could be a short ..
if you want to go even further, a complete tear down of the phone, check for corrosion ( whitish residue on terminals and motherboard ) clean off with toothbrush only ( no water or liquid of any kind ) be careful removing ribbon cables and re-inserting them ... you can find lots of stuff on youtube for that.
good luck
