Hi all,
I hope that someone can provide some advice. My Nexus is shutting down shortly after boot. Happens with Lineage 17.1 and 18.1. Battery is full. Power button is not stuck.
It worked before with Lineage 17.1 and then it started to shutdown and after a fresh install of Lineage 18.1 it also shuts down during boot or shortly after.
What I have tested:
1. it will not shutodwon when in boot loader
2. it will not shutdown when in TWRP mode
3. it will not shutdwon in Lineage when connected to a charger
So any idea why it shuts down when no charger is connected even with full battery? Which logs could I look into?
Kind regards,
am
Sounds like hardware sensor failure to me, how many amps are being drawn by the device? check with something like gsam battery monitor, also check the voltage is being detected properly
You could try checking logcat logs ("adb logcat") when unplugging the charger but you may find nothing there
Thank you for your reply. Well it looks like either the battery or other H/W is broken. The device now even shuts down randomly when connected to the charger. I managed to boot it only after battary was completly depleted for some time and then charged it again and it started. But after some time it started to shutdown randomly again and it won't even fully boot.. I have another N5 here so I may exchange the batteries and see if this is the cause but I think it is something else.

Battery dead, not charging, stuck on "low battery screen", bootloops with forceboot
Hello people, this is my very first post on xda, even though I've been lurking around for about a year. The community has helped me a lot, I'd like to thank you all for that.
Back on topic though! My error seems to be very similar to the one here.
I was watching some YouTube, battery sitting on a respectable 85%, when it suddenly shut off. Not the usual "shutting down for low battery" kind of shutting down, it was istantaneous, more like the battery was unplugged from the phone. Which is clearly impossible. I tried to boot it using the power button to no avail. I connected it to the charger, and the "the battery is too low" screen popped up. I left it at that for about 45 minutes, then unplugged from the charger and tried to boot. No success. The battery didn't even charge; the charger should be is fully working.
So I tried leaving it plugged to the charger and force boot the phone via volume down and power button; it attempted to boot, but stopped midway through, bootlooping until I unplug it, at that point it shuts off again.
The loop goes like this: OnePlus white logo (normal when you boot), radioactive kernel loading, reboot and repeat. That happens, again, until I unplug it from the charger. Then it shuts off.
EDIT: If I try to get into bootloader instead (volume up + power), after about 8 seconds of me pressing the buttons the screen just shuts off and doesn't react to any more presses (even while plugged). If I unplug and replug it to the charger, I'm back to square one (low battery, please charge).
PC doesn't recognize it. It makes the "the battery is low" screen pop up, but nothing else.
Here's some phone information in case you need them.
Phone info:
Rom: NucleaRom 1.3 (+ Radioactive kernel which comes with it) got it from here
Xposed modules: Youtube Background Playback, AdAway
Root: Yes
Thanks in advance everyone.
I doubt it would be software related if it does it even when in bootloader. It could be the problem I had with my nexus 7 a few times. I needed to charge it like all day for it to even turn on. Either that or faulty phone/bad battery. I hope it's just dead

Hello there, thanks for taking the time to reply. Yesterday I worked all day to try and make sense of the problem. I could have just bought another phone but I'm fairly attached to this one so I went deep.
I was fairly sure (like you) that it couldn't be a software problem, so I looked at the logic board of the phone; turns out (correct my poor technical wording) the bracket (connector?) for the battery on the logic board was coming off from the motherboard itself (the battery was indeed attached to the bracket, the bracket was just coming off of the board). What I did was just reposition the bracket and pushed it down with a bit of force on the board, then replugged the battery in the newly restored battery plug, and tried my luck. It booted! Back at its original 75%-ish.
My only guess would be that due to a fall the bracket got misplaced, but stayed close enough for it to still make contact and never actually shut down, until yesterday. That was... Quite an interesting ride.
Thanks for replying, it was indeed a "faulty phone", but I just couldn't leave it at that without trying
I'm glad it worked out for ya
Not work at all ...
My phone its show the logo on charging or low charge but its stuck for this for while full battary is empty... When I plagued in charger the same show charging logo with indicator but not charging its suck on that logo to .......then I charged the battary externally then put the battary try to open its show only a (powered by android log ) stuck on this ......I cant go any recovery modes ..fast boot mods... Only show this one or charging logo if battary low that logo to ... I try to get adb driver on my computer its also not show because of not get recovery modes ........
Any other idea to solve this
So I've read a billion threads, but none of them are quite the same as what is happening here. My friend handed me a Nexus 5 the other day, said he had dropped it and it wouldn't boot after that.
Sure enough, on battery power, it only went until just after the "Google" screen, and then powered off.
When plugged into power, it would boot into the (stock) OS, and then promptly die. This problem is not an issue with the hardware, with what I can see, as in fastboot / recovery mode, it will last until the battery dies out. (probably)
So, after trying a number of things, including unplugging the battery and reattaching it, I installed TWRP and CM 13. The issue still happens, but once more, in TWRP, it will remain alive.
Also, if the battery is at 100% when off and charging, I can boot it up with the charger plugged in, and once it shuts down, it then has somewhere around 95%, while only running for about a minute. While "charging."
I can't find any logical explanation for this. I don't think it's hardware, since it's fine up until it fully boots. At the same time, it couldn't be software, could it?
To whomever solves this, I will be eternally grateful.
Thanks.
Hey guys,
I've got a Google Pixel phone today and it's having a major problem. Battery won't charge, at all. Here's what I did:
1. Checked and cleaned the USB-C port
2. Checked with 2 chargers (A normal USB 2.0 type charger and a LG G6 fast charger)
3. Tested it with 2 USB-C cables. One is from the LG G6, the other one is the original that came with the phone.
4. Tried charging it using the laptop USB ports (3.0)
5. Ran a battery tester which said the battery was alright (an apk)
Android version running: 8.1.0 with Feb. security patch
The seller also said that the microphone and possibly the loudspeaker don't work. I would love to charge the phone and try the Android P BETA program on it, see if it solves anything.
I've ordered a new battery from Sweden (possibly not original, but I've read that it's alright)
Any tips?
Thanks!
Edit: The phone indicates that the battery is charging (both when it's shutdown and plugged in). The battery is at 1% now and the phone shuts down immediately - won't power-up at all.
I have a similar issue with a Pixel I bought refurbished (might just return it) - but the battery won't charge past 75%; got up to 84% one time, though. Even plugged in, once the battery gets to its 'max', the percentage will actually go down a little, to around 70% (if it stays plugged in at >70% then it usually goes down, with screen off). I also noticed mine doesn't seem to charge at all when powered off (probably a big warning sign) and also sometimes won't charge until booted up and unlocked (sucks to pick up your phone that's been plugged in a couple hours to see 4% battery with the charging indicator on the status bar says the phone is charging....).
It WILL charge if it gets booted into (TWRP) recovery - so, if your phone stays on while connected to laptop, try booting into bootloader and fastboot boot twrp-latest.img (easy to find thread for that, or just go TWRP.me website and find it there).
If that doesn't work (locked bootloader, etc.), try charging it while in the stock recovery, but I don't think it'll give you an indicator. If all those fail to give it a charge try charging inside bootloader, plug and unplug a few times, make sure USB connectors are clean. Good luck with the replacement battery, screen/digitizer can easily get messed up during dissasembly...
Edit: noticed you said won't power on at all, if you can't even get to bootloader (vol down+power with phone off) then battery or USB assembly is probably no good. Does LED flash red on the top of phone?

Hey, thanks for the tips.
I unfortunately tried all of that before it wouldn't boot up anymore, so no luck there. Also, no indicator at the top, battery is probably alright, might be a software issue or something, but can't tell since I can't update it to Android P or atleast downgrade it. I guess I'll have to wait for the battery to arrive and then try it like that. Hopefully that works.
I have a moto g6 I used a while ago. I upgraded my phone when it stopped charging. I thought it was the USB-C port, and moved on to a new phone.
I just took the old phone out again and booted into recovery mode this morning. I plugged it in and it charged (in recovery mode). It trickle (slow) charged for most of the day. I then booted the phone up about 2 hours ago and it was mostly charged.
I tried plugging the charger back in, and again..... no charging.
I booted back into recovery mode and alas. Charges. Albeit slowly.
It only charges when it's booted in recovery mode. Any thoughts?
<bump>

Does it charge when powered off?
Nope. When it's powered off, it will start powering up as soon as I plug it in. If the battery is full, it just boots up the phone when I plug it in. If the battery is dead, it will show the boot logo, battery 0%, and restart. On loop.
It only charges/detects there is a charger plugged in when booted into recovery mode.

You mean when it's been completely powered off ie shutdown it boots up by itself up when you plug in the charger?
Completely power off the phone and try the charger.
Sorry, just tested again and I'm wrong, slightly.
When I plug it in while turned off, it will show the lightning icon, then a battery percentage, then restart. It never boots up by itself when plugging it in.

Are you commanding it to restart ie hitting the power button?
If not it's either a firmware failure or more likely a hardware failure.
Self-restarts. Without any action on my part. It just shows the current battery % and then boot loops.
I had the USB port tested at one of those 'fix your phone' places (when the problem first occurred) and they said the USB port is fine and it's something else causing the problem.
I just find it super strange that in recovery mode, it will actually charge. I had given up on this device and I'm using a new phone now, but the fact that it charges in recovery makes me want to get this thing back up as a spare.
I spent a LOT of time on google for this and I have not found any useful information or ideas.

Try a factory reset if stock.
Reflash firmware to known stable version.
Hopefully that will fix it but don't count on it.
If that doesn't get it than it's a mobo failure or less likely an issue with a connector.
Depending how it's laid out it could be a failure in a subassembly rather than mobo.
Sorry...
Epic necro, but wanted to reply to say I have the exact same issue with a Oneplus 5T right now. But I think I can add one note: I installed AccuBattery and that shows that the phone *does* charge when connected under Android (even though the charging icon doesn't show), but very slowly; it's charging at 500mA, which I believe is the base USB spec max for power transfer.
In typical use it's entirely possible you consume more power than that, so the battery percentage would still drop and the phone wouldn't appear to be charging. I suspect it's actually doing the same in recovery mode, but recovery mode uses much less power - so 500mA is actually enough to trickle-charge it - and does show the + sign to indicate charging.
I haven't found any fix yet either I do suspect blackhawk is right and it must be a hardware issue. I'm gonna take it to some repair places and see if I can avoid a big replacement bill.
Is the battery good? Or is SOT short?
Could be a failed battery.
Any swelling is a failure.
Erratic fast charging is a symptom of a battery failure.
Li's can fail at any time in their life cycle.
Typically in a heavily used device they last 1-2 years. When they reach 80% of their original capacity they have reach the end of their service life, are degraded and should be replaced. A degraded Li is more likely to fail.
An easy fix if so.
Nope, already replaced the battery not long ago. It was indeed the port: took it in for repair and the guy said the trace connecting the port to the motherboard was basically gone, probably wear/damage over time (this phone is five years old and has been dropped a few times). He fixed that and it's back to charging like a champ and connecting to PCs fine again. So, if OP is still trying to fix their G6, might want to try a different repair shop...
Actually its a software bug. Factory reset ur device from recovery mode may problem will be solve.
Hello, i have flashed lineage os 18.1 and gapps on Orange fox recovery, after i boot into system and the screen went black it's not opening i have tried
Holding the power button for 20 seconds
Connected to charger for a while
Not worked if anyone know a solution please let me know.
If you can't connect to the PC and it's completely non responsive... you got a brick. Assuming it's not a battery failure. Possible battery failure... if you're lucky.
Disconnect the battery or allow to fully discharge then try again to charge.
If your device is totally in black screen then maybe it is hardbricked and you may replace its motherboard
