so i've had this phone for about 3 years its a great phone, just recently i was watching some youtube and decided to download an app. as i picked up my phone it shut off on full battery, i turned it back on and everything was fine until a bumped it and it shut off, so the slightest bump turns it off. i tried with a different battery but still no dice. i decided to leave it off for a day of 2 and came back and now it wont turn on at all, even with a fully charged battery. it's really annoying, and any help would be appreciated
p.s. it's rooted if that helps
I would like to buy it if you still have it.

I've had a Motorola Atrix 4G ever since the release last week, and I just now ran into some trouble. I recently tried to deplete the battery completely and then charge it all the way, to see if it would help the battery life (Ive done this before on other phone, and its worked, so I know im not crazy? RIGHT?!).
I played some Gun Bros for a while and then it powered off. I connected the charger cable to my phone and my computer, and left it for a while... and tried to turn it on. It didnt turn on, so I left it for a bit, and then tried again... and it still didnt turn on. Whenever I try to power it on, the notification light turns on for a bit, and then turn off.
This is my first Android device, so im really not sure if this is normal, or something.
My device is on 2.2 (of course), and has been rooted. Nothing extravagent has been installed on the device... just a few games, and some widgets.
If you guys need anything, just go ahead and ask.
Ugh... I got it.
I had to plug it into the wall :|
Thanks - same thing happened to me and I was about to freak out.
I really don't know if this is possible or not.... but I might need to get some new corduroys after a case of the brown adrenalin with my new sensation.
Got it Friday as could see progress on the rooting and sure enough Revolution came up with the goods same day. Rooted it Saturday.
Fully charged it, switched it off and went back to the HD2 - flip case and car kit arriving today. Really don't wanna damage my new boy toy by pocketing it with car keys etc.
Stone me though I thought I bricked it. Wouldn't switch on this morning - just a dark flicker of the screen. Sweat pouring off my forehead. Never bricked a device and flashed my HD2 & TP2 a million times and my £450 unlocked handset is 3 days old and dead..
Long and the short of it is plugged in the charger again and a few minutes later it powers up - 3% battery.
Is it possible it could drain switched off? Or should I blame the kids for messing with it and deduct my dry cleaning bill from their pocket-money?
After I rooted, I had to do a battery pull until I was able to turn my phone on again, although this doesn't really replicate what problem you had...
The battery does not drain if the phone is turned off.
Question is, was it definitely turned off?
Even if it wasn't, there's no way a full charge is going to drain overnight... Unless you had a Satnav running...

You're right - it SHOULDN'T... I'd rebooted no problems several times after the rooting. Some OTA update came over and didn't install successfully though.
It'd be very odd (and a warranty issue, get ready to go into rooting reverse) but for now I'm inclined to just blame the kids. Unless anyone else has has similar experiences.
I guess time with it will tell.
EDIT: Apparently it's a known issue and has been fixed with the new CWM update! See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Ah ha, looks like it's not just me!
This just happened to me today and I had to change my pants because I thought I bricked it. I rooted it and installed InsertCoin no problems!
Today, as it jumped off my WiFi and onto the mobile network it got stuck on "Disconnecting from Morsolo's WiFi" and just sorta froze there (the phone still worked, but it wouldn't fully disconnect from WiFi, so I got no mobile data).
I turned the phone off via normal methods (40% Battery)... Then it wouldn't turn back on. The phone was a little bit hot at this point, but it does heat up so I thought nothing of it.
For a good 30 minutes, nothing happened. All that I could see happening when I attempted to turn the phone on was, the screen backlight would turn on, fade off, turn on, fade off. No boot, no recovery, nothing.
I tried charging it and it would show the indicator for 2 seconds and stop charging (but this is a known issue, apparently it continues to charge regardless).
After numerous times pulling the battery, trying to start, charging, battery, start... I finally managed to get it to boot and it said the battery was at 3%... After the phone was STONE COLD DEAD for a good 30 minutes to 1 hour.
...I just got home (with a dead battery, of course) and now that I've plugged it in again, it wont boot, again.
I think we've discovered an issue.
EDIT: Good man. Thanks for the update. Better get onto that right away.
Yup.. that's the same experience... except I'm still on stock rom with tweaks.
What do you reckon - flash back to stock and see if it still happens? Really don't want it turning into permanent paperweight with an iffy bootloader for someone at warranty to find with their JTAG.

Not sure if anyone has any new ideas as I've had this happened before and had to get the phone fixed with new motherboard. My phone has been working ok with the official ICS update. It's rooted. Things seem to be a little weird the last few days with the phone hanging and sometimes the screen will just turn into this fuzzy appearance and yesterday while it was just sitting on my desk..it seem to be using a lot of power with the battery going to 4% from 80% in just 3-4 hours idling. IT also got really hot while charging, so i turned it off and rebooted. Thought it was fine.
Then last night, while charging, it seem to be sluggish. so I restarted the phone. But after it turned off..it won't respond anymore. No light when plug in for charging, or plug to computer...cannot go into bootloader with vol down / power.
I had a similar experience before when the phone suddenly died 3 mths ago and thought it was related to a custom ROM, but HTC replaced the motherboard...now it's unresponsive same way.
Time to send back again? Or anyone have new ideas about this?
Take out the battery, put it back in. Try to turn it on. Still nothing? Volume down and power. No bootloader? Sorry, its probably dicked.
There's other things to try, but from what ive gathered, they probably won't help.
Hi guys,
I recently ran into this problem after I woke one morning to my alarm clock blaring for about half an hour, the phone was pretty hot but not unbearably hot. I took out the battery and left the phone to cool down til trying to boot again, when I did the phone booted fine but it soon shut off again 5-10 seconds into loading into android. I assumed the heat knocked the charge out of the battery / something went wrong with the reading of the battery (as it read like 85%) so I just plugged it into the charger and left til it said it was full. It doesn't shut off by itself and works fine while on the charger regardless. But as soon as I unplug the phone dies within a few seconds. So I turned off the phone and let it charge overnight, woke again to the same issue and the battery reading 85% again. Before I booted back up though I tried the "Wipe Battery Stats" thing in CWM hoping that maybe it would fix it after I fully charged but it made no difference. Also I found that the phone is able to run off the charger when I severely underclock it to 250MHz but obviously it's too damn slow for every day use at that speed. As soon as I clocked it up to 480MHz it had the same issue again. I forgot to mention I was rooted with CWM, unlocked bootloader and on stock rom. After this I decided to revert to my pre-root back up rom from CWM and I still had the same issue.
The final thing that seems to make it work is removing the sim, I tried booting this morning without sim and the phone functions flawlessly even while under a heavy stress test without turning off. So I tried inserting another sim, this one not active. Issues start up again...
Any Ideas guys? Seems to me like if the phone is pulling "too much power" the phone auto shuts itself off. But then the SIM thing perplexes me, not really sure how it all affects.
Lastly, do you think I can still claim on my warranty? I've had this phone for just under a month and it's still in perfect condition... I really don't want to switch back to my chopped and screwed Motorola Flipout. But atleast that thing could handle the overheating pretty damn well. Also I didn't get this on contract I bought it outright from a reseller as a prepaid phone.
In the Netherlands, the warranty for a phone battery is set to six months by law, just contact HTC, and find out.

So I made sure to look it up but couldn't find anything so here I am.
Anyways I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (I747) rooted and running Slim OS, but I haven't done any mods or customizations in awhile. The battery was getting low so I, of course, plugged it in, but it was still dying, which isn't strange, it occasionally does that, so I just let it die. After awhile I turned it back on and it was on 6% and after awhile 5% now I thought it was strange since I wasn't doing anything too power demanding and my charger is a good charger, then at 2% the screen turned off and wouldn't turn and I even tried holding down the power button thinking it might've turned off but that didn't work, I left it charging and even took out the battery and that didn't work and then I noticed that the charging screen didn't even pop up whenever I plugged in the charger. Now fearing my phone is messed up I took out the SD card and put into my Samsung galaxy camera 2 and the battery started going down quicker than usual, it was at 58% and after like 10 minutes went down to 32% and then it shut off like my phone, but unlike my phone, my camera is unrooted running stock android. Please help
Or the SD card could be causing problems.

Quick update
So my camera turned back on and it now works, although I rooted it and now theres some problems, but this isn't the right section for that, but anyways, when I plug my phone up it does get warm unlike the first day, so I assume it is actually charging
