Hey all, I just got through with this hurricane sandy business and now I find my phone not working at all. First off I'd like to say that there is no water damage to this phone and it is NOT rooted. The problem is that it just won't turn on at all, and won't charge when I try to charge the device. The day before I charged the phone and it worked fine. I can provide more details if needed but I need to find a solution to this.
Did it run down on battery completely before it did this? You might need to charge it for a bit before it turns on. Also, see if you can get your hands on a spare battery to see if it's the battery's problem. I would also try removing the battery and putting it back just to make sure it wasn't jostled loose.

Two days ago I completely let the battery drain on its own because it was draining faster than usual and I was using it very minimally due to the lack of phone signal during the power outage. And yesterday I charged it until it was 100% in the morning and at night I charged it again until 100%. Before I went to bed, I turned off my phone and it was 90% and when I turned it on in the morning it was at 77% (which I thought was weird since the phone was not even on). Now the phone will not work at all. I took the battery out and everything. I even tried turning the phone on while trying to charge it (but it would not charge). The only feedback I got was that it vibrated when I tried turning it on this afternoon and after that was nothing. (it would either get stuck at the AT&T bootup part or I would get no display at all)

And nothing happened to it in between at all? That's very odd. The only thing I can think of to try is another battery.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

Nothing I can think of. It was fully charged by 9PM the other night and shut off before I went to bed. Next morning the batter is nearly halfway drained for no apparent reason. I think I will get another battery to test.
Also I let the battery sit out of the phone for a few days now and the phone still does not work.

Get a hold of a charged battery, then after 1 hour with no battery in the device, replace the battery remove the SD-Card and the SIM-Card, replace all covers. Reboot your PC and go to firewall tab in the control panel and turn of your firewalls, then reboot your PC, then using USB data cable not a charging cable.. with your device being OFF conect to a USB connection in the back of your PC, if it's a laptop use the one next to the intranet connection. Then wait about 1min. If nothing happwned, hold the volume down button then press and release the power button. if nothing happened, hold the volume up then press and release the power button. If nothing happened do the samething this time by holding both up and down volume buttons. If nothing happened with your device connected to the PC go to MY Computer tab right click on C>Properties then go to tools click on check disc tab check mark both options then restart your PC. Before windows tour OS starts, your PC will go through a self check. let it do its thing. it takes a couple of hours. then after its down check to see if it has seen your device. if not then do procedures above once again. GOOD LUCK.

Okay so I finally got it to turn on but in order to charge it, the phone must be turned off for some reason. Also, the touch screen is not working, even after I did a hard reset and erased all my data. I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue or a software issue because the display is working fine.

That same thing happened to a friend of mine. She took it to a technician tho and they sorted it out for her.
Hello every one, this just my first post here, but I have been follow the forum very very close since some days ago thanks to Mustaavalkosta and his new CyanogenMod Rom here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533007&page=283.
I am having a similar problem with my HTC Inspire, here is my story. I bought it like it a year ago, the first thing I do was to rooted with AAHK and install CyanoyenMod cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-ace. Everything works just fine till a couple of months ago. One night I just leave my Inspire and go to sleep, the next morning I wasn't able to turn on, not charging, not turn on. Was not the battery because my brother has another Inspire and I check with his battery. I just leave the phone without the battery and Sim and SD for a day and them come back again, but at next day the same occurs. I try all that time, vol down+power. voldown+volup, every convination but nothing works. So I decide to dissensambly my phone... in the process I broke the ribbon flex cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-HTC-Desire-HD-Inspire-4G-Camera-Socket-Keypad-Membrane-PBC-Ribbon-Flex-Cable-/320925341841?pt=US_Cell_Phone_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4ab8a41891 The phone was in parts on my table like a month till I was able to buy and recieve the ribbon (I live in Colombia). Finally the ribbon arrives 3 days ago, so I assembled the phone again and...magic! the phone turns on. My next step was install the Mustaavalkosta Rom that I mentioned before.... but, yesterday, my phone was dead again. So a try all steps again, put out the battery, Sim and Sd... and again try all the combinations of buttons, but nothing works... So I do it again: dissensably again my phone: Only disconnecting the display doesn't works... I have to disconect the display and the ribbon cable, assembled again and just turn on again.... Now I am waiting for the next black out...
I know is a weird behavior, but may be some one can point me in some direction to fix it.. I am not a developer or anything like that, but I like to investigate and solve problems... any help will be wonderful.
Cheers!
PD: I dont have any apps installed, just trying the Rom as it is.
PD: The next time it happens I will try the niavaran advises.
Hello,
So I was playing around flashing roms from here last night, and I was able to load up a rom that I liked, and get it configured to my liking. I noticed while doing that the phone started to get really hot. I didn't think anything of it, and left it on the charger and went to bed. This morning I woke up and the phone has a blinking red light. I did some Googling and it said that it was a completely drained battery. So I put it back on the charger and now the phone was able to boot back up, it says charging, but it is just at 0% and it doesn't seem to go anywhere from there (plugged in via computer) any ideas?

Revert to stock and see if it still acts like this?
A friend of mine had the same blinking red led.
Turned out the battery was completely drained.
After charging it for a while it was fine again.

Yup! It was drained, and it wasn't charging when I posted this when I had it plugged into my computer.
I put it on the wall charger and left it set for a few minutes, and then it showed up at 7% so I'm really relieved I didn't brick my phone. I just don't get why it didnt charge last night, I know I plugged it in...

Yeah that's strange behavior. My dad was playing a game on his N7 which was hooked up to his PC when it suddenly died.
Scared the hell out of him, turned out it hadn't been charging through USB for some reason, or maybe not enough.
Weird about last night. Maybe it wasn't plugged in completely. Have you tried the same socket? Maybe it's dead.

The computer charges android devices really slowly. When you're playing a game, it will drain faster than it charges, especially if you charge it by a PC/Mac and not a main power source

Blinking Red light??
Dnt worry this indicates that your phonr is just on the verge of its battery
just keep plugged in in for few minutes
now the light will stop blinking and you will get the battery level icon on your screen
Hope this helps you :angel:

But this never happened to me ealier while using a charger,Today i used just a cable to charge it and i behaved so.Is it because the charge it was getting was less to sustain or do i need to get it checked ?
i have this problem too i evan had it charged for an hour and a half and still no nothing evan started it up on the charger and it still does it i dont know what to do
Is the led still blinking after 1.5 hours on the charger? Maybe try a more powerful charger? Different USB cable?
The USB cable and charger that came with the phone is what I would start with to charge the phone.

Just had the same problem after not charging the phone for 10 months (broke while I was travelling). Just got it working after I ordered and installed a screen replacement from Alibaba. Needed to try 3 different USB Cables.
Maybe just a different USB cable would have solved the problem?
Charging via a computer is the last thing to do. The output is so low.
Hi guys,
I'm having the same problem. My phone has been charging for about twelve hours now and it still won't turn on. I tried using different outlets, but not a different charger since I only have one (original one) and my friends phone did charge with that charger. I also tried pressing the power- and volume button at the same time, but still nothing. Everytime I take my phone out of the charger and plug it in again, the red light starts blinking for a while but then it dies off and nothing happens anymore. Does anyone have anymore tips?
Thanks
Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced or you need a more powerful charger.
i've got this problem except anytime a charging cable is connected, the phone powers on and off continually as if the power button is stuck. tried swapping batteries with a spare n5 i have with a cracked screen and bad IMEI (lousy ebay purchase), made no difference. same thing occurs even with battery disconnected. there's no way to boot into recovery. the red LED blinks when the phone powers off momentarily. tried various cables to charge, multiple locations. any ideas?
Saved me!!
Saved my nexus 5, i love this phone and don't want to lose it even after three years passed way!
thankyou brother you nailed it.

My Moto G which I bought from Saudi Arabia 2 days ago before coming back to Egypt for good has the following scenario:
Note: I'm using the original moto g charger "500 mah" that came in the box with my phone.
1st 100% charge overnight, then lasted almost 14 hrs.
2nd overnight charge, only did 95% "even tho it was plugged for 7-8 hrs" and lasted 7 hrs before battery go to zero level and device shut down.
when my phone shut down, it got stuck at the coma status, I tried every method mentioned in this post but the "waiting till the next day method" and nothing did work.
methods I used: freezer, fridge, 18 sec power on, 1 minute power on, 2-3-4 minutes power on and even the exact method on Motorola website and that method one member suggested to blug in the headphone while trying to power on or charge.
chargers I used with every method: Moto G 500 mah, Alcatel 550 mah, Galaxy Tab 7 2ah and Blackberry USB cable on computer.
result, nothing! phone still dead, and i can't return it cause I'm in a different country now and we don't even have it yet here.
my Moto G is 16GB, dual sim and running stock Kit Kat 4.4 which is available for the phone. no modified roms or any other dev setting was applied, the phone wasn't rooted. it's just like out of the box, few apps installed "some of them are downloaded from the internet" and stock upgraded to kit kat.
before hitting the zero level, the phone was charged for few minutes on a samsung charger, most probably it's for a note 3. when it went off I tried a car charger "bleackberry" for few minutes which gave me 3 pulse led white notification and nothing else.
I guess this shouldn't be related to the situation, but I'm using a data sim as sim 2 for internet and sim 1 for calls only. phone internet is running on H+ most of the time, 3G the if not H+.
I'm going to wait till tomorrow and try again, hopefully it works. but if anyone got any ideas or solutions PLEASE go on and reply with it even if you're not sure or if it's a crazy idea out of the box.
I only used the phone for 2 days :crying: I had VERY high expectations for this phone :crying:
(Update 1) I left the phone unplugged for 12 hours, plugged it in the 550mah charger for 2-3 hours, pressed the power button 1-2-3 minutes and no results still. also motorola Asia didn't reply to my email yet.
(Update 2) I unplugged the battery and put it back on, still nothing. some guy told me to connect it to a box and restore the software back to Jellybean and that the box should be capable of booting the phone up. will try that and refer back to you.
I really hope you find a solution for this, since I'm an Egyptian too who is interested greatly in moto g and may take the plunge of buying it from amazon, this really freaks me out.
I haven't read all the posts in the other topic on this subject but from what I read on other websites and could be mentioned before, you can try the following:
Plug a higher mAH charger (suggested 850 for example or 5V 2A charger) as it was probably with your blackberry car charger, then hold the power button for 2 minutes, If the LED blinks keep it charging for 10 minutes.
No idea If it would work or not of course.
I did so

Thank you bro, I know u get the whole pic.. I did actually try the car charger for almost 30-40 minutes but nothing.. only 3 blinks and that's it.. it didn't even keep the led on for few seconds,, just the 3 blinks and when I tried to turn it on, nothing!
btw, from the past 2 days, it's a great phone.. only this issue.. also the official kit kat update is a poor one, missing a lot of features but works GREAT on the phone.. u can get the phone from UAE or KSA.. the 16GB dual sim card is being sold for 900AED or 900SAR which is actually a TRUE bargain. also the charger u get with the phoneis 500 mah, so you better use another one that can charge faster cause this one is REALLY slow. you can use up to 1500mah
hopefully tho i get a decent reply from motorola for this issue.. no high hopes tho since it's not available in Egypt. :crying:
Yes, the price to value ratio for the moto g is incredible, it's really unfortunate that it wasn't/won't be released in Egypt.
Well, If I were you I would have tried the only suggestion remaining: to leave the phone for 24 hours without plugging it in or trying to power it on, then attempt again to charge it the next day. I really wish you luck in fixing this.
In the meantime, I will keep looking for any other suggestions and If I find any I will post here.
yeah!

I really need a Android Kitkat phone that isn't too expensive, I saw the Moto G and thought about buying one but if this happens then I wont

well, the phone is amazing, really fast and good in every way except few things, some basic not very important features are missing and this drained out not charging issue.
on this post everyone was able to fix their issue, except me.. so it seem fixable 99% and u can also skip this issue if u simple shut down your phone when it reach 3-4% and turn it on again when the charger is there.. i guess.
btw, I had an S4 LTE before the moto g, and I'll never pick the S4 again. i enjoyed the moto g more and the S4 sucked in many ways like over heating and battery life time which was 6-7 hrs and the cheap housing materials "screen cracked when had a slight fall and fixing it was half the price of a new S4"
Im having the same problem as you, i tried every method as you. The 24hours method i havent fully tried it yet. I left it for 24 hours and when i plugged it in the charger I still have the same problem. The people in motorola told me to leave it for 2-3 hours on charge and that's what exactly what im doing. I will get back to you if anything happens.
I did that

Motorola should test the battery's before shipping a phone

I faced the same problem once. When I plugged it to charge it's battery was about 80%. Then suddenly it went to 0% and it was automatically shut down. After charging it further 30 miss, it was still 0%. I turned it off, after removing back cover I pressed battery a little. Turned it on and the problem was solved. It happened 10 days back and never again. I am totally satisfied with moto g. It's a great phone.
-connect your phone to a charger
-hold the power button for 2-3min (led should blink few times)
-leave the phone connected for 1hour
-unplug it and hold the power button for 20-30 seconds and it should turn on.

I agree with you it's a great phone, i really liked it the 2 days i had it working.

Any updates on this?
Is your Moto G working now or not?
If so, how did you fix it
So I have no idea what's going on with my phone:
It consists of 3-4 sucessive red LED flashes, can see a charge icon on the screen for like 0.25 ms (literally haha), and then it shuts off and this process just repeats.. any idea what is going on?
I've attached the video here: https://youtu.be/rnW2euEdKaE
If it matters: The screen was cracked, and subsequently replaced, but that was some time ago..
Hi,
Did you try another charger ?
Definatly for some service

1. I tried different charger, in fact 3 different ones.. still nothing
2. Service? What kind of service?
3. I held power down, it gets to the huawei splash screen, for again.. 1 sec than restarts
Any other suggestions, thanks!
I don't know if it's exactly the same thing, but perhaps Is this a way to make your phone working again

Tried that, took the battery out, plugged it in.. no more flashing red LED.. i see the huawei screen now, but it boot loops. If I insert the battery in while its plugged in like the above, than it does that led flash, and no screen.. so i'm thinking bad battery??
It's certainly the battery,
Last time your phone was working, did you use all the battery (until 0% and then power off by itself ? )
You can search a new battery on the Internet,
With the Model code at the top of it, you will find easily a new replacement battery)
If your battery goes under a certain level of charge, ie close to 0%, it's possible the onboard security prevent it to charge normally.
You can try the freezer trick, it helped me to recover an ipad with the same condition.
-Put your phone in a ziplock bag to prevent frosting and humidity.
-Let it rest at least 1h in the freezer
-As soon as you get it out of the freezer, plug it in a wall charger and wait at least 15 min before turning it on.
You should claim your warranty, contact your vendor.

I don't believe so, Its my backup phone so there is potential the battery would have hit 0% as I don't frequently use/charge it..

Hi there.
Did you managed to fix that? I have same problem. I just replaced screen with new one.
Firstly I connected new screen to motherboard and it worked perfectly. I put it all together, glued new screen to frame, connected flex'es to mobo and... nothing. Red light blinks, and screen flashes with "HONOR powered by Android" screen if I disconnect battery and just plug to usb.
Battery is not a problem, before repair it had about 70%, and now it's voltage is around 4,05V.
Any ideas?
same thing was happening to my huawie honor 8 for some time now... i brought a new screen n that didn't fix the problem ,,,,, the person that fixed the screen for me said it needed a power boost( or something to that extent) n in like a hr or so after not being able to start just the screen blinking it came on!!!!!!! i was ecstatic tbh... sadly like a week n a half- a month later the **** stopped working again ... the red light comes on when it charges n every thing but the screen doesn't fully respond just stays blank. i definitely think its a battery problem but not too sure
Yeah, so the battery got drained, and now the phone will not respond to anything.
Pwr-btn + both volume-btn for ~20 sec did nothing. Will not take a charge from either PC or adapter.
I will be leaving it overnight in the charger.
:crying:
UPDATE
Contacted Nokia Support via webchat.
After some confusion, they suggested only;
Hold vol+ vol- & pwr buttons for ~20s
Hold pwr button for ~30s
If repeated tries does not turn the phone on, then contact local Nokia Care Shop

Put phone on charging. Then while it's on charging
Press VOLUME UP & POWER BUTTON till you feel a vibration and Android logo with 10-9-8-7 counting.
It'll open up in RECOVERY.

After having the phone lying on the desk for a few days, and now doing as you said, it finally vibrated.
After some time in the charger, it started taking charge. Never booted up like you said, but it still worked.

What happens if you hold the buttons like that? A hard reset? Or anything else?
It should go into Recovery, if you keep holding.
How long does it take to go into recovery mode ? I have been holding it for 5 mins now.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !

How long one has to hold the keys ? My Nokia 3 is not starting up. I had the same problem. Battery got drained & is not charging up. Tried all usual methods - different chargers, ports, cleaning USB on phone, vol button press + power button press. All in vain.
Try removing sim and sdcard. Then try again. Hold for several minutes.

my phone suddenly turned off, and i tried all buttons combinations, but nothing happens. So just leaving your phone, and not on charger, for a few days has helped you?

Halo, my Nokia 3 is not charging as before, when it's 67% it's take more than 1hrs before reaching 68%. Please help me out
Hey. i had the same problem and i solved it. i leave it the original charger and nothing. i went and buy a 2.1A charger and i leave it over night. and it worked for me. idk if its is luck or what it is.. and i also know that is not recomended. but it worked for me and i have my Nokia back
I have the same problem . It's seem to relate to offical Android 7.1.1 .
Press VOLUME UP , POWER and HOME BUTTON till the screen lighting which takes about 10s.

Not to be skeptical or anything but how do you hold down the home button on a phone with soft keys when the phone is off?

I had a similar problem too, but I was too impatient to try the methods that required waiting for days. I voided my warranty by opening the phone, disconnecting the battery and reconnecting then closing back my phone. The battery started charging afterwards.
If you decide to go this route, i suggest you lookup information on nokia 3 disassembly so as not to mistakenly mess anything up
Well... I bought a nokia 3 today and after only 2 hours of use, wich included 2 software updates (from 7.0 to 7.1.1 and a november security patch) phone turned off, it was like 48% battery and sudenly it turned off.
After a couple of minutes I connected it to the charger and it's charging now, it says battery is 0% charged, so it went from 48% to 0% instantly. Appearently battery calibration is way off in this phone, just like the first generation of android phones when samsung and other brands didn't know how to make android work properly. I'm completely sure it's software related so hope they fix this in the next update soon.

Well ususally they recommend that you fully charge your phone after you first buy it (although i'm not sure how valid that instruction really is)

I usually do it, but I always turn it on first to check if it is working... and the battery was like 80% so i decided to use it fully before charging it...
EDIT: omg it took 4:30 hours to fully charge it, LOL
