Ok, I know the question about the battery not holding a charge has been asked like a million times, but with mine comes a weird error message that I cant find any literature on. Just to give a brief back story on what happened here it is.
I bought phone a year ago. Battery has worked awesome this whole time, it would charge fine and on a full charge it would last about 2-3 days with moderate use. Then just the other day it got down to 20% and my low batt warning went off like it always does and this is when I always begin charging. Well I thought I would just jump in the shower real quick then plug it in cuz in the past even at 20% my phone would last for like 8 hours. Well when i got out of the shower and went to plug the phone in, to my surprise it had turned off. I turned it back on and it got as far as the splash screen and then it instantly turned back off. So i then put the phone on the charger and the orange light came on and it was all good. A couple hours later the light turned green, i unplugged the phone and turned it on to see a battery at 100%. But now when I turned it on, i got this message "fatal error: configuration is invalid. (3)" and then the battery which was 100% only lasted like 20 minutes.
So now every time i turn on my phone i get that error message and the battery last only mere minutes. I'm pretty sure I just need to buy a new battery, but what do I do about the error message.
I appreciate any help that you could give me. Thank you in advance.
I am having a very similar problem, but without the error.
Also, I bought a new battery and still have the same problem.
I find the phone does last all day if i turn off data connection and bluetooth,
but if I open the web browser, the phone dies 5 minutes later.

i'm beginning to think that kaisers are trash! it will be 2 years in september for my kaiser and its already fallen apart. this thing is junk. my other wm devices lasted alot longer then this. i may try the new iphone in a few weeks.
Yes I too just bought a new battery and I charged it. Now the light doesn't turn green when its fully charged and yep, I still get the error message and it still dies after like 20 minutes.
I think i solved the problem somewhat. I still get the error message but the battery seems to be lasting as long as it normally did and now it turns green when fully charged instead of staying orange. I came across another forum entry from like 2006 for a completely different kind of phone but i thought i would give it a shot.
What you do is just do a soft reset on your phone while its plugged into the wall charger. Then leave it plugged in for literally like 5 hours even if the light turns green or it gets to 100%. I guess this does something to reset how your phone reads your battery or something, i dont know. All I know is that it fixed my issues.
Anyways, I hope this can help someone as it did me.

perform a hard reset and see if that solves your problem.
I've started recently having a very irritating issue whenever my Nook Color ends up dying. I plug it in after it dies once, and then even an hour later, I cannot turn it on. It just gives the dead battery screen. Why does it take so long for this thing to get a charge after dying? An hour or more later is just ridiculous. Is there a way to fix this?
I am so sorry I put this in the wrong area, thought I was still in the Q&A section. If a mod could move it...
I don't know about the not turning on part but the Nook takes well over 3-4 to charge up when you run it all the way down, even in stock mode.
Weird, 2 questions
Are you using the stock wall charger or a computer?
Is the 15 minute screen showing up?
Using both, it takes forever. As for the 15 minute screen, I have no idea what that is. I managed to get it to turn on after about another hour of wallcharging.

Are you using the nook cable or a standard uUSB cable?

By 15 minute screen, I think the responder was referring to the 15% warning that normally happens when your battery gets that low.
Also if you do not use your original nook cable, it charges very slowly no matter which charger you use. It a has special connector on the end that lets the nook charge fast with the original charger.
I was reffering to the warning screen when you try to boot it up on a dead battery right after plugging it in. There is normally a screen with a red empty battery and it is asking you to wait 15 minutes before trying to boot. Although I have no idea what could be causing this other than something may be defective.
This is completely undiscovered territory for me, as I have been over and under the forums looking for a solution....
Here's the problem as it happened:
Every night around 10pm, I plug my phone in to charge, which I did the previous night. Normally, my schedule has me up and leaving the house at 4:30am except on weekends which I am normally up by 6am.
Friday night at 10pm, I plugged the phone in to charge as usual. The next morning I unplugged and checked the phone as usual and everything seemed fine.
I had left the phone to sit unattended for some time while I got ready to go out for the day, then grabbed my phone, put it in the holdster and left.
My day was quite busy and I never checked my phone for the first 2 hours after leaving the house. When I did it was unresponsive, so I did the customary reset and nothing.
I assumed a dead battery so I just waited until I was back in the car. When I plugged it in, I saw the red light and, assuming the battery was just dead I left it.
The phone has done nothing else since... just the red light.
I'm assuming this phone might be a goner but I wanted to put my feelers out. I have not tried MTTY yet and I'm assuming it probably won't work anyway.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm using a well-used and worn out Kaiser (my back-up) right now, same rom/radio/kernel/etc. to see if I can replicate what happened... (I know, flirting with disaster).
Apparently I didn't look hard enough because I found the thread for the RLoD and followed the instructions.
Charger connected, back panel off, battery out.
Hold power button and rapidly connect/disconnect battery from terminals by holding at an angle (may take up to 100 times to get it).
Red light goes out, green light flashes, phone boots.
BUT!...
Test the phone before you take it for the day.
I was unfortunate enough to not realize that the phone hadn't charged overnight and reset the battery counter to 80% at 3.6 volts.
I was lucky enough to grab a databackup.img and copy everything to the spare phone.
maybe there's a problem with the connection in the usb port.
So here is what happened,
My phone was maybe 14% plugged it in left it charging and went to sleep.
Woke up with the phone alarm and started reading whatsapp messages, at this point the phone was already at 100%.
Maybe 30-40 seconds later, with the cable still plugged in the phone turned off, with no message, it just "died".
Now it wont boot, fastboot, nothing.
Tried some solutions i found on the internet like holding vol down + power button for more than 2 minutes, and nothing.
I really need some help here guys, PLEASE.
The phone was running latest TITAN PRIME ROM 1.1 dev3
Everything will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

That is bad...
I have see it before, and noting works
The last time the guy try to turn on his phone every day, one day he get it...
But from the process that he describe the phone just stuck like yours and it need to completed empty the battery or unplugged it.
If open the phone is not a option, is need to let the phone that way and every day, he try this:
Plug in the charger, after 2 minutes he try turn it on by holding the power button for 2 min.
after that no success, he unplugged the charger and, try the next day.
And after 2 - 3 days he turn it on... i don't remember if was only 2 min maybe try 5 min on charger.
Is very slow and not completed a solution because it may not work, but for now is the only option after what you tell me.
don't leave the charger on for more then 5 min if is really need to empty your battery will take time and every charge minute will take longer.
:good:

Is there a link to that "solution"?
I think its really strange i mean everything i have read about this topic of people having the same issue, it happened when their battery hit the 0%, and most of them got a solution, but mine was fully charged.
Im scared right now, the phone has...1 month, 2 at the most.

Ok, ill try what you said earlier and hope i have success, if not on monday ill go to a service, maybe they have a better idea.
I bought my Nook HD+ in 2013 and it has been a great companion all along. About two years ago, I noticed that the battery was not what it used to be, requiring charging too often. Last year, I installed LineageOS on the Nook.
About three months ago, something happened to the battery so that the Nook would turn on and be usable only if the main power was connected. If I switched off the charger, the Nook would immediately shut down - and by shut down I mean it would just blink off, not shut down over a few seconds. Also, in the shut off mode, it would lose battery a lot, like 20 to 30 percent in a day, without any usage.
Then, about a month back, I forgot to charge it for three straight days and now it won't turn on at all. When I connect the charger, the charging light turns from green to red, and stays there, indicating the battery is charging, and the back of the Nook also becomes hot, but whatever I do, it doesn't turn on. When I press the power button, the screen comes on and shows the charging icon for a second or two and then goes off. I've left it charging for a couple of hours, maybe six or eight or so, but it still won't turn on.
If I remove the battery and turn on the main power, the charging light keeps blinking green and red over and over. So, is there any way to use the Nook without the battery, running it off the mains power only? And if there isn't, is there any way to turn it back on? I've already gone through the threads here and tried some of the things but nothing has worked. I don't have a higher power wall charger, and it is not possible to go out in the present condition, what with the lockdown and all.
Please help.

I also installed lineage on mine a year or two back, but I've had random issues with mine. I'm going to try to reset and reinstall it in the near future (like, maybe this weekend or next).

I know that, if the tablet runs dead, you _have_ to put it on the original Nook wall charger and let it sit overnight... mine just went dead a couple of days ago and I tried just plugging the cable into a generic USB charger, but it didn't charge. I then remembered this and plugged it into the Nook charger and it charged overnight.
If I remove the battery and turn on the main power, the charging light keeps blinking green and red over and over. So, is there any way to use the Nook without the battery, running it off the mains power only? And if there isn't, is there any way to turn it back on?

I have no idea about this part... I've never taken mine apart (I wanted to buy a replacement battery a few years ago but they ran out and I never found more). Update: I just searched and there are a few battery replacements listed with Google search, I just don't want to pay 40.00 to 50.00 when I can buy a new tablet for a little more than that.
I usually just leave mine plugged into my bedside clock and it keeps charged, or if I unplug it plug it back in within a couple of hours.
Hope you find an answer.
better off buying a new tab
