Hi guys,
Bit of a weird one this... my phone has been working perfectly normal for some 9 months now, but all of a sudden it has decided to play up when turning on the phone.
If I turn the phone on with battery power it hangs on the boot screen (which shows the version information) on doesn't get any further. If however, I boot with the USB cable plugged in (hence charging), the phone eventually comes ob after around 5-10 minutes!
I have tried installing a number of different ROMs (Qtek, Dopod etc.) but every ROM gives the same behaviour.
Would I be right in thinking that this is more than likely a hardware problem?
Thanks,
Stig.
if you experience the same behavior with different roms, it sounds like its an hardware problem indeed...
When the phone is on and running, do you have any problem ?
No problem when the phone finally comes on. Its certainly a weird one. I have since got it sorted via the insurance.
Hi

i googled and found this
http://www.techdroider.com/2015/08/moto-g-3rd-generation-also-have-hidden-led.html
I have purchased the phone on 26th Oct 2015 from Flipkart.
No matter what I do the light wont go off. Even if i power off the phone the led stays.

Disconnect your USB cable, is it still lit? The LED is a charging indicator in some ROMs but the fact that it is on when powered off is odd. If the LED is lit and no USB cable is connected and the power is off, this sounds like an electrical issue inside the device but to be sure I would do a full factory image flash and test it.
We all know it has an LED, have for some time... but it is hard wired to the charging circuit so when activated it only shows charging status and nothing else. If yours is one all the time, it could indicate a problem with the hardware.

It looks white. Even mine just flashed up one day for 0.5 seconds. You can do it to. Just discharge your phone completely until it turn off automatically then goto a very dark room cause the light is to dim and then plug your phone. You will see it flashed up for one second
Does that mean a USB cable isn't required to make it glow
Since you can't touch the battery, I suggest you discharge it it completely . Keep it mines it can be dangerous though.
Hi
It glows even if i switch off the phone. I have asked Flipkart to replace my handset. But they were trying to say that i should take it up with the company. I was stern and asked them to replace it since it is just 15 days since i brought the phone. They have told me that they will send the engg. tomorrow. Will keep you guys posted.

Same issue !!!
Even I have the same issue since yesterday .. LED is always ON even after powering off the device. Any Idea how to resolve this issue ??
Did you get any solutions for this ?? I am also facing the same issue , I did a factory reset. But the problem still exists.

See here on XDA:

It's applicable also to Moto G 3rd gen.
If with
echo none >/sys/class/leds/charging/trigger
LED stays on, it must be an hardware failure.
I have the same problem! Since two days ago the front LED is always switched on!
Weird, it popped up just an hr ago in my moto g, gen 3 as well bought in India, via Flipkart and won't go away. It has a flickering (seemingly pseudo random) characteristic in periodicity as well as luminosity potentially indicating a short-circuit of led power-circuit behind front speaker(s) or worse, some fourier optical-transmission pattern. It flickers even when powered off and that says something about this LED behind front-speakers. A factory reset also did nothing to it.
Hey guys! I aslo facing the same problem.i tried every thing except Root. I have tried power off, battery 100% drain,factory reset but nothing can stop led. please suggest if any one have its solution
i have tried these apps, and one of the kernel for our device can turn it on without any app, but what i want is enable without any mod or app.

Hey man did you managed to solve this issue? My led started glowing a few hours ago, I have 3 months with the phone.
Hi all,
is the issue still solved? today my phone has started to show the same thing,even after it's powered off the led still glows mildly. it's been 5 months i'm using it. I've wiped data,cache,system parititions then flashed a stock LP rom but the issue still exists. From custom Kernel if the 'Battery Light' option is turned ON when the phone is being charged it glows brightly. It's really uncomfortable to see it's lit all the time. I wish I could have removed that LED light from there lol
Anyone please have a look
Hi!
I have the same problem with the white led. I contacted Motorola Support (in Canada) and I got to send my phone to a service center. I just got my phone back and they say it's not repairable because of a liquid damage to the main board. The thing, my phone never got wet!
I don't know if others who contacted Motorola got the same result...
I just had one start doing it too... if warranty won't replace it then I think I will damage the LED to try and disable it to hopefully rid of any extra battery drain.
EDIT: Well i'm not sure about this because i was thinking about drilling with a super small bit down to the LED to disable it, however i don't know how the earpiece speaker functions and whether it would damage it's function as well.
Hi,
i tried to encrpyt my rooted One A9 yesterday. It started the encryption as it is supposed to (Battery charged to 89%, charger still plugged).
But about 2 minutes later the screen just turned black.
Now the phone can't be turned on, no matter which button i press.
It is also not recognized by my pc when i plug it in.
Also the orange charging LED is constantly lit although it isn't plugged to any charger.
As i can't seem to find anything about this issue on google or here in the forums, i hope someone can help.
Or can i simply throw it away now?
Specs:
European HTC One A9 (no branding)
Unlocked Bootloader (TWRP Recovery)
Rooted (SuperSU)
Stock HTC Rom (can't recall the version, should be latest european)
Thanks in advance
Solution... Kind of...
Ok, since i got impatient i opened the phone and removed the battery to turn it off completely.
It seems to work again now, although i got no way to make sure because my screen broke in the process of opening it :crying:
But i can hear the bootsounds and my smartwatch connects when its on.
Anyways, for people having this problem in the future, it should help to just let the device run out of battery (which should take ages, since its off and only the led is on).
Thank God a new screen costs almost the same as a new device...
So a while back I got a crack on my screen but it never got any worse. then suddenly a couple weeks ago, screen suddenly started going weird colors (purple and pink) then shut off completely. Now, I went to get the insurance for the phone but I realized I want to wipe the phone before I send it back to the insurance people. It may have been on, when I plugged it into my computer it was recognized as a GS7 but there was nothing in the directory when I brought it up in Win10 explorer. I tried installing Smart Switch but unfortunately it says MTP isn't activated. I had updated to Nougat when it started rolling out recently, if that matters. Maybe it reset some stuff, because I could swear I had it on. Also I don't think I have USB Debugging on. So I messed around with some button configurations to soft reset it, and now it seems to be stuck with a blinking red light and isn't being recognized by Windows so I'm guessing isn't actually on.
Is there anything I can do at this point? Why the blinking red light? Someone suggested just remote wiping it, but after I got stuck where I'm at now. if I can get back to where Device Manager can find it then I would be fine and just remote wipe it. I think it was on at least for a while since Device Manager says it was last on on April 28th.
Hi,
I wanted to ask about an issue with Xiaomi mi 9. Yesterday the display on my phone flashed white and then went completely black. After that sometimes when trying to turn on the phone the logo showed up very dim, but later on, it stopped showing up at all. The phone seems to work as it flashes the indicator light, it does the charging sound and the indicator light goes on when I plug it in. The screen is still completely black. I thought it might be a hardware issue, but it could also be software. The software on it was Google experience android 10. I installed it around a year ago and it was working fine until now. When I go into fastboot state the logo shows up for a moment but it's very dim.
Does this seem to be a hardware or a software issue? Can I fix it in any way?

Yeah its probably a hardqare issue, sorry.
The fastboot mode wouldnt dim due to the rom.
Its most likely something is wrong with your display.
Youll have to get it repaired by Xiaomi service center or somewhere that can replace the display.
