have you change you theme..? coz I think few themes is not supporting the charging icon. BTW if your phone is switched off then the charging icon come..?? also, have you checked in ICS also??

Try booting into cwm and mounting USB storage.... if this mounts then at least we will know that your USB port is fine.... if this doesn't work then your charging port may be damaged and you may have to take your phone to the service center
Proudly supporting Adam for CM team recognition

In CM, LPM (Low Power Mode) doesn't work yet. It means it loads the whole system when you plug in the charger. init cannot distinguish the two modes yet, I'm working on it.

Actually the battery isn't charging at all... Today I tried many times to charge, but only sometimes it charges while most of the time it doesn't charge...
I removed battery and kept it out for 10 mind and again tried to charge but same problem.. Sometimes only it charges..
And @pankaj it's not about theme... I changed and saw it...
And my point being if connecting charger to my switched off device turns it on by detecting the charger, the charging circuitry won't be broken.. So it seems software issue or battery issue..
Also yesterday I turned on purging of assets and kernel memory management on and also enabled zRAM to 18%..would that create such. Issue??

Charging issues on ICS
I am on BB ROM with Ardatdat 4.0 Kernel. For last few I am also facing some strange charging issues:
1. 9 times out of 10, the phone doesnt get charged using the charger.
2. However if gets charged using the USB cable connected to my laptop most of the times. Sometimes that too doesn't work but after couple of retries it starts charging
3. Sometimes even after disconnecting my charger, the icon shows that the phone is being charged.
4. Sometimes after disconnecting the charger/usb, the phone gives the beep which is heard when the charging starts. This happens multiple times and I have to shutdown the phone and remove the battery to stop this from happening.
These are really strange things that are happening to my phone.
I am thinking of flashing stock GB ROM and giving it to the service center. Is there something that I can try before I do that as I am not sure how long my phone will be there at the SSC?

Buddy SSC is the best option.
Same things happened to me till i visited the company owned ssc.
The normal ssc (not the company owned ones) had put a faulty jack which made me and my phone go beserk.
Go to a COMPANY OWNED SSC. Skilled staff, better spares and quick response and delivery.
Not the ones who have taken a dealership sort of thing. They just irritate you.

[Q] Charging oddities while phone is off

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

Battery from 100% to 0% and 0% to 100%

this just happened: I had my phone on USB charger (charged), then I just heard sound and my phone turned off. After turning on, it was saying I have 0% and then, few seconds later it was saying again "charged". Check screens

can you please help me? It happens again and my phone isn't on the charger. Again from 100 to 0 and 0 to 100. What is hapening? And the battery manager doesn't showing screen usage, only:
android OS
android system
google search
com.android.systemui
phone idle
phone standby
cell standby
MotoCare
Mediaserver

Happened to me once before also..I spoke to Moto Care about that, they didn't had any real answer..it's probably a software bug that causes battery not to calibrate as it should..

but Im using it for 2 months and it is first time it happened. Few moments ago it happened third time so I switched phone off

It seems like the battery is off calibration
Try downloading a third party app die batteries like battery doctor and see what it tells you.

There is already a thread for this, and a suspected cause:
It's not a calibration issue, but sensor configuration or fpga. In my opinion it can be corrected from software, but a simple rom change won't help unless they focus on correcting this issue.

Did you update to KK? It's common known bug after updating an other phones such moto x.
Do this only once:
Download StabilityTest (ROOT optional) turn one wifi, gps, bluetooth. Run the program and start the "Classic stability test" leave the phone till it turns off. Then "power"+"vol-" run recovery mode and leave the phone it will turn of after a wail-make this step f times till it won't work and only the led will blink. You have now maximal drained out battery. Now plug the charger and make it 100% then start the hone enjoy-I hope it will help you.

i bough this phone one week ago, i read this post yesterday and i though it was a very bad problem i was happy not havig it, yesterday night i left the phone in airplane mode ad 70% battery today morning i found it off, fully discharged, i put it on charge and after recharging of 30% it jumped to 100% full charge
should i replace the phone? theres any other thread about this problem?

I sent my phone to replace, they said they will replace it (I paid extra 24€ when I was buying for this 24€ extra, they immediately replacing the broken phone to new one if the old was still under warranty) so I will get new one in few days

Odd, the same thing happened to me. Just after I unplugged my phone from my pc. Strange...

Happened to me: I charged the phone to 85% using a laptop USB then took the phone out to use it, when I came back 30 minutes later I plugged back in to continue charging it dropped to 1% instantly then powered itself off as battery was nearly flat. Reboot phone then plug into laptop and starts charging from 1%.
10 mins later it's about 8% charged and I take phone to car, charge it using a Motorola car USB charger and the phone battery goes back to about 85% instantly.
It seemed to me that using a PC usb socket to charge the phone caused the issues rather than using a 'proper' charger. Maybe others can confirm whether they've had the issue only if using a PC usb port to charge it up?
Mine is UK tesco 8GB Moto G running Kitkat official firmware, not rooted, bl locked and not been flashed other than official software.

Software & Charging Problem

Hi, I have a z3 d6653 my phone was constantly rebooting even though I know its a software thing as it has happened before and by flashing stock lp again it got fixed this time I ignored it and by letting the phone off as it's not my daily driver I wanted to see if itll settle by itself. It did settle and I used the phone till 4% but when i took it back it was off Im sure bc of it starting to reboot again so I wanted to charge it then fix it but after 1% charging it was constantly rebooting in charging mode so with that 1% I thought of booting into recovery and wiping only caches but during the operation it went off and now even though the led is showing like it's charging, it isn't actually so I decided to ask here if any of you can help me i.e know any way how to charge the battery..

Update: I have the back of the phone opened so I thought of unplugging the battery and plug it again but now it's worse not even the red led of charging doesn't turn on, I tried a few fixes but none is working..

Update 2: Like I mentioned I tried many fixes for soft/hard brick and many many others but non worked or at least I had no result but today I thought of charging the battery of my z3 in xperia e4g and after I did so the phone started normally and now its working perfectly, so happy I got it back ^_^

Oneplus One Reboot Issue : Suggestion or Help Needed

My OPO is having a reboot issue, was on cos13, cm14.1 and ubuntu with mutirom,
Symptoms
1. the phone stays on if connected to a charger or powerbank.
and without charger it bootloops at the 1+ logo
2. in switched off state, when charger is connected the battery sometimes shows 0% and increases to 100%
3. with charger i entered cm recovery, removed the charger, the phone stayed all night long with cm recovery menu display on.
after draining the battery, i plugged back charger and the phone in switched off state did show the regular charging animation and took the usual time to full charge.
after full charge I removed the charger, tried to power on the phone boot loops at 1+ logo.
4. without charger it can enter fastboot mode.
5. with charger it can boot into os, shows charging, led lit up, but after removing charger it won't stay long, also if opening camera it turns off.
6. even on powerbank it can boot up and stay switched on. and work normally (camera etc anything)
(7. while turned off and on charger the animation shows charging but the top led isn't on.) - I don't remember it lighting up on charging while switched off
8. the night before this issue occured, my phone rebooted twice while watching youtube. and in the previous nights also I noticed battery dropping overnight.
what all I tried,
1. fastboot flashed cos, - not solved
2. flashed using Qualcomm USB port tool - not solved.
3. ran the make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 command in twrp. - not solved.
4. erased and flashed persist.img - not solved.
so what could be the problem, opo is now my secondary phone, now using op3 as primary.

The battery is at its end of its life....replace the battery and all your problem will be gone...
you're not the only one that have experiences this problem (i have seen more then 10 people having the same problem)...last year and this year there a lot of people having bootloop problem due to dying battery...factory reset, flash stock rom and etc won't help you solved this problem...
i personally have this problem last year and after i replace the battery all my problem gone...i think Oneplus made OPO batteries only lasted for 2 and a half year....

thanks for the reply i guessed that, but still wasn't sure, can it be also due to any issues to board, anyway since i've done with flashing and all i'll try an OP service center, and hope it won't costs me big.

Nope it is not issues with the motherboard but batteries...the phone can be turn on like normal when charger is connected and goes into bootloop once the charger is disconnected....its a clear sign that the battery is dying...when it connected to the charger, it may look like the battery is full but it is not...just buy a new battery and all your problem will be gone...you can try flashing lot of rom, revert to stock or whatever you do in fastboot but it ain't gonna help you...it might boot normally but within an hour it will goes back to bootloop....
like i said before i was on the same pages as you last year...all the flashing stuff didn't work until i replace the battery....there no issues with the motherboard whatsoever....my phone still work atm without any bootloop problem...
feel free to go to OP services center if you want, if they tell you it was a motherboard issues then you have been screwed by the services center by repairing something that is still in good condition and you gonna pay more then just a batteries afterwards...

I have almost exactly the same problem. The thing is I cannot find a way to enter multirom recovery even on a charger. When on a charger it tries to boot into my primary rom but gets stuck on it endlessly.
Are you sure its the battery? I mean, mine charges to 100% when plugged in and doesnt seem to have any problem with charging. Mine did it a few days ago, it went into a bootloop for no reason. I havent touched anything for a year and it happened so randomly and lost everything I had on it...

Hey dude Thanks a lot... I was facing exactly same issue for last 2 days... I bought OPO on Dec 5 th 2014... I think its battery only works 2 years...

@iPusak Gaoq™, tried to get a suitable battery online but the shipping charge killed most deals, some were even counterfeits, so finally I decided to visit an op service centre, they replaced the battery with a new one, now my OPO is good as new. thanks again.

I was just going to post, about my issue, but the forum suggested your post. I read the first post, and yes, I am facing the exact same problem. Taking a picture and the phone shuts off. Vibrating from getting a notification and restart.
And the saddest part, the phone won't boot into OS if is it not plugged to PC or AC power.
My Opo is almost two years old. Can you suggest a good battery replacement for me?

Hard to suggest which batteries is good if you planning to bought it online cause there no way you can know whether the batteries you gonna buy is original or OEM...only when you bought the batteries in a retail store then you can see whether its original or OEM and yes the differences between both batteries is noticeable...
