How to know if shield tablet is fully charged ? There is no indicator or display. When I press the power button it turns on. Can someone please help?
there is an indicator that shows on the screen when it is off it looks like a battery.
you can also turn on the tablet and it will show in the corner as well...
If you have a 2014 model there is a led charge indicator by the sd card port this was removed for the 2015 model.
The battery is visible only for couple of seconds and then it disappears. When I press the power button even lightly it turns the tablet on.
Yep those are all it has you can always turn it off after.
Its a pain in the ass. Quite annoying.
@mirrin Is there any ROM or Kernal which has the fix
Not that I know of. I don't think there is anything to fix though and most others would be fine with just turning on the tablet.

I had about two hours left on my XDAII battery when I switched the device off. When I then tried to switch in on, probably two or three hours later, it would not switch on. The green light was blinking as it normally does when the phone is on. I plugged in the cable to charge it, but the light did not change into a steady green (or is it yellow?) as it does when you're charging. I didn't want to hard reset it because I would lose some data, so I took out the SIM card and put it back in, as this normally soft resets the device. Instead however, it hard reset it, and I found the main battery to be empty. This still shouldn't have hard reset it, should it, since my back-up battery was full?
This has happened twice now. I'm starting to suspect that something is draining the battery even when the screen is switched off. Has anyone else experienced the same?
This may be obvious and you already know but it's worth considering.
When you switch off are you sure that you are turning the XDA II off or are you just turning off the backlight?
A quick press of the off button turns off. An extended press just switches off the backlight and the XDA stays on, draining the battery.
I've made this mistake too, especially in low light conditions. Hope this has helped.
Yes, that must be it! I had no idea that the off-button behaves like this! I don't think it did on the XDAI. Thanks a lot for this information, I will now be very careful with how I press the button, and check the screen in good light just to be sure.
So here is the deal...
My kids needed a night light as we are on vacation so I decided to plug the power charger and left the flashlight app on the entire night. Now that I think about it not a smart idea.
When I woke up this AM the phone had the battery charging icon on the screen. This only appears when the phone is charging while it is powered off.
So far I have removed the battery several times and tried to power the phone on with no success.
I have also tried to hold the volume down and press the power button as recommended on various forums with no luck.
I am overseas right now (home town is the usa) and I need my phone more than if I was home .
Any idea how the flashlight app left ON while also powering may have caused this?
Or is this just a coincidence and I am having an issue that others are having and it is not related to what I did last night?
Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated.
By flashlight app do you mean one that turns on the camera flash or one that leaves the screen on?
I am also unclear what you mean by:

Does the icon appear even when not charging? Does the screen function at all? Or does the phone seem completely dead, as in not even vibrating when powering on after removing battery.
If it was the camera flash, it might have overheated and damaged something, but this is just my speculation.
By flashlight I mean the one that leaves the screen on in white color.
The icon only appears while the phone is hooked up to the charger. When I unlplug it it disappears. (So to me this answers your question if the screen works at all).
The phone does not vibrate when I try to power it on after I remove and put back the batter.
Thanks for your quick reply and hope this answers your questions.
My Transformer was working fine, battery fell below 9% so I put it to sleep and plugged it in...
Now the device will not turn on, back of unit is getting warm?
Well, the warmth will be the battery charging. No issue there.
See one of the half dozen threads about not turning back on.
It came back to life, after holding the power button still seemed dead, then i plugged in a HDMI cable and it turned on.
My power button is finicky... every thing else seems perfect...

Mine does this. You have to power off completely. To do that, you must hold the power button for more than 10 seconds to turn it off. Wait a bit, then power it back on by holding the power for 5 seconds.
I've searched around and people say it's the lock screen that causes the screen to blank. But I don't think that was it, I disabled it and it still does it.
Next someone says it has something to do with WiFi, I don't think this is right also because it has happened at times when I had the wifi OFF.

Are you saying before charging you power it off completely or always?

No I'm saying to do that when your screen is blank and can't turn on
I've failed to find any other posts quite like my issue, so I'm hoping someone would have some guidance on other options to try. Thank you in advance.
My A700 is one month past the warranty and everything was working pretty smoothly. I had rooted it and had the latest CM stable build, 10.1.2. Everything seemed to be working fine. After a few days, I plugged it into the charger as I always do after an evening of playing around on it. The next night, it looked as if it had turned itself off and was completely unresponsive. Unlike most other posts where the tablet is stuck in a bootloop or stuck in recovery or something, I get nothing. The power button has the little indicator light where it is orange when charging, white when fully charged. It is/was white. Pushing the power button (I tried lightly, holding for an extended period, combinations of power button and volume buttons), the indicator will blink orange (as if it going to reboot), but then toggles back to white (when plugged in). Nothing else happens. No vibration indicating the system was booting and no flicker or anything on the screen.
The unit appears to be fully charged based on the indicator light. The system is completely unresponsive when connected to my PC as well.
Any thoughts?

Well, it's 1 month past warranty.
You can try contacting the service center, and see if they will take it under warranty. If not, well, you'll probably have to take matters into your own hands.
More than likely, something has come disconnected at the PWR button. In this case, you'll have to pop the back cover off and check on your own.
With the A500, many folks have repaired their PWR buttons. You can check the A500 forums, as I remember they had some illustrations or instructions.
I have a 700 service manual I think, somewhere on one of my drives, if you want to go this way, let me know, and I'll upload it.

Hello,
Last time i saw something on my screen was my battery that was almost empty. Now when i want to charge my battery i can't see annything on my screen.
I only see a red charging led light left top of my phone.
I tried several tricks like power button and the sound buttons up and down combinations. even the yellow little button near my simcard.
I could get the 3 vibrations but i still see nothing and it won't turn on?
I Even try with the sony pc companion but it won't recognise my phone even with the volume down button,
How can i Solve this problem ?
3 vibration mean you're turning off you phone. When you do that, just plug in and let the phone charging. It'll take a while, when your phone show battery percentage just press and hold the power button again. It might work

It didn't work, i let my phone charge the whole night.
i think there's something with the connection of my battery and my motherboard of the phone.
how can i test it? could use the magnet charge to boot the phone up?
