So it was on last night and when i woke up this morning it was dead,but i powered it on to see what time it was, then it turned off again right after, i figured dead battery no big deal. So i go to charge it and go back 15 mins later to turn it on as i'm expecting a text message and it won't turn on just a red light flashed once. i tried 4 different outlets checked the connector for lint or dirt nothing, its been charging? for 45mins it should be almost done but it wont turn on. i tried pwr+vol up, pwr +vol down nothing. Sucks cause i don't have any other USB type-c chargers or cables and everyone elses phone is Micro usb and my other family have ****inn iphones. Also it's new years tomorrow so no stores are open. Sigh any ideas?
Had the same thing happen. For some reason once the phone is completely dead the oem charger does not charge the phone. I had to use a USB a to c cable I bought at Walmart (for data transfer) and plug it into my oem nexus 6 wall charger base to get it charging and turn on...

Mine Pixel 2 has just died today. Had 30%+ of battery. I was using gmaps and suddenly found screen switched off. Tried to turn it on but since that moment, no signs of life at all.
I had similar problem. Morning no alarm and Pixel 2 totally dead. Now I have new piece.
my factory charging cable quit charging my phone as well

So, here's the deal. I have a Motorola Backflip, it has been rooted and now runs 2.1 instead of Android 1.5. A few weeks ago, I woke up after charging my phone all night and it was very hot. It wouldn't turn on, I panicked, then later I tried and it was fine. Now, it happened again this morning when I woke up. It was very hot, I waited for it to cool off, and tried to charge it again, because it wasn't charging all night. When I plug it in, it recognizes it's plugged in with a little vibration, does the white screen with the Motorola M for a bit, then shows the "0%" screen with a charging battery. Then, it vibrates to show it's plugged in, shows the white screen with the Motorola M for a bit, then once again shows the "0%" screen with a charging battery. It keeps doing that, and won't charge. I obviously can't turn the phone on since it will not charge, and the battery is dead. I am using a normal wall charger, but I will try charging it through the computer to see if that makes any difference. Any suggestions? Is my phone okay, or should I give up?
U need a new battery

Just woke up to the very same thing with my backflip. It may have something to do with the amount of current going through the connection. I had mine plugged into the back accessory port on my old Blackberry Bold dock. The one that has a spot for the bold upfront, spot for a bluetooth headset, extra battery charger and an extra USB port on the back(I use it and my old Bold as a bedside alarmclock/internet radio now .) I had been playing a bit of leaf green on gameboid last night with it plugged in and woke up to a feircly hot Backflip that would not power on. it was on until I picked it up then turned off. i hit the power button and it just kept cycling through the moto M logo and then returning to the 0% battery screen and then off. i disconnected it from there, plugged it into my laptop where i could only get the micro-usb led to blink... it would not power on at all. I then got my Blackberry Torch's little usb wall adapter and tried that out and it worked like a charm. phone loaded up the way it was intended to.
Now as far as amperages go, for the dock i am unsure, it states on the wall plug it has an output of 1600ma, but for up to 4 devices... i am unsure as to how much power is restricted to each port if any. I only had the bold and backflip connected to it. My laptop has powered USB ports which deliver 550ma's each which is typical and in my experience often not enough to start a device from 0%. My BB wall adapter is 750ma's which has to be my personal preference. I actually refuse to plug my Torch into a USB port until i know it does not supply over 750ma's for fear of ruining my battery like had before on other phones not designed to use a 1amp charger. I am assuming my Backflip has the same idea.
New work phone Moto Razr HD Maxx. I got it yesterday, it had 80ish% batt life. Left the chargers at work yesterday so I plugged it into my pc last night via usb to micro. I only glanced at the screen but I noticed it was still "discharging". I unplugged it and plugged it pack in and noticed a very small change in the MAH reading but it was still "discharging". I also noticed that I didn't get the normal audio notification from the pc that signals a USB device connecting but i wasnt concerned and went to bed. This morn the battery was about the same(30ish%) as the night before. I just assumed the problem was the USB ext that i was using so i removed the extension plugged it back in for a few hours. I disconnected and made some calls and got a 14% batt warning shortly after. WTH! so I drove to work and picked up the chargers. used the car charger for about 30 min and I was back up to 30%. I used the phone for a little while and again I got the 14% warning. I picked it up off my desk looked at it and set it back down. 20min later I picked it up to go put it on the "home" charger it came with and it was already dead. I have had it on the home charger for 1 hour and the car charger for 10 min and it will not come back to life.
Any thoughts? Just a defect? or am i missing something extremely simple? You just press and hold the top button on the right side to turn on right? Is this what I get for turning down the iphone on the grounds that every single person in the office already has one and I wanted to lead a revolution?

Yeah you just press and hold the button to turn it on. Sounds as if maybe there's something wrong with the USB connector on the phone, since the computer isn't recognizing it. When you plug it in to the computer it should trigger autoplay like plugging in a flash drive.
thanks youtube for telling me how to soft reset, phone is on now and charging. Not sure why it wouldn't charge before but whatever, the revolution is back online

So yeah, after soft reset the Moto is charging from the "home/AC charger". While that was going on, I plugged my old HTC HD2 into the pc with the cable that didnt work with the Moto and the HD2 took a charge. I took the USB from the supplied Moto "Home/AC Charger" and plugged into the PC and the PC is now charging the Moto. I must assume that the leads within the Moto supplied cable are of a larger gauge and carry more current than standard USB to Micro cables? Whatev... the phone works now I guess. I still wonder if the iphone would have been a better choice. lol
Have you updated your Motorola drivers on the PC?

Did you install the moto drivers before plugging it in?

I guess I haven't. I just wiped my PC and installed W7 so I didn't want to install anything until I knew the PC was stable and updated. Anyways, the Razr has been going dark at least once a day. I am about to plug it in and update., Will LYK if it helps the situation
After doing some extensive research as to why my Nexus 5 was randomly off when at full charge I discovered there were obviously alot of issues going on with this.
After doing all of the suggestions (e.i. Charging for an hour with standard AC, An hour with USB) I finally got the thing to turn one *whew*
Well not so *Whew* after all. The battery indicator in the tp left of the screen is saying the battery charge is empty. The charging level also says %0. As soon as I unplug the charger it turns off due to lack of charge.
Did the factory rest thing and it's still doing the same thing.
After some experimenting I have discovered that while in the boot screen (Vol+/Vol- & Power) it does not have to be plugged in. Interesting.
Every time the phone gets to where you can see the battery level it thinks it has no charge and auto offs itself.
What do I do?
I would first try a different charger. Its possible that you have a bad charger/USB cable. If that doesn't work then I'd send it back and get a warranty replacement phone but more than likely your issue is a bad charger/USB cable and if not that then a bad battery.

As title states, replaced everything yet phone refuses to charge or connect to a PC 99% of the time.
I have tried ...
Different outlets
Multiple working android chargers and USB cables
Multiple computers and usb ports
Different batteries
2 OEM batteries
Phone stopped charging one random night, plugged into charger, slept, woke up, phone died and never turned on.
I have been charging my battery through my friends old phone then swapping my battery into my own skyrocket, which turns on so I know the phone works.
For the 1% time that it does charge, I have no idea what happens, but I see that it charges and for ~5 minutes. At this point I don't move or touch the phone at all, I just let it lay there. And after ~5 minutes it stops charging again. (I know it starts/stops because of the tiny buzz it makes)
Anyone have any ideas? Also I am not running a stock rom, not sure if that matters but will try to flash a stock rom soon.

First you have to check carefully the battery, does it an original one? Because out there most of the battery for Skyrocket are fake, moreover, battery for our device is the same as Samsung Galaxy S2 HD for korea market. (On our battey, you'll se 4 pins: 3 for battery and 1 for NFC antenna. While the others just have 3 pins)
Flash stock rom using Odin and check again. If it can charge or not
Plug to a computer and check if it charge or not
If all above are failed, possibly the chip which manager charging in your phone is dead and have to replace.
Goodluck
I've only had my Pixel 2 since the end of March and at about 10% battery my phone will just shut off, and my USB C port is almost useless now the fast charger is the only charger that can charge the phone while it's on, and I have to hold the phone charger in a certain position to get it to charge like, if I had the phone for a year already I would understand this was just wear and tear but it's only been a couple of months ago
The Pixel 2 has a two year hardware warranty. Contact Google for assistance.

For the USB port, check to see if there is some lint/dust in it and it doesn't let the cable to plug in fully. A month ago, I cleaned the port and it feels that the cable goes it more properly and firm.
That is really weird because my phone is actually working great and the battery backup is holding really good. Since you're under warranty better to get it checked.
