After fully charging my phone, I unplugged it. A few hours later, I tried to wake it by pressing the power button. It would not turn on. I tried to plug it in figuring some app was draining the battery but the charge light (the upper right on corner) never lights ups. I pull the battery and left it that way for about a day. I put the battery back in then the phone starts to work again. This has happen about 3 times so far. So, is my Nexus One dying?
I wouldn't start worrying straight away. I've had this happen once and I think it's caused by a rogue or stuck app that drains the battery. I didn't change any apps after this and haven't had it happen again so I concluded it was a one off. The reason the charging LED didn't appear is probably because the battery was completely dead and simply needed longer to get a decent charge in it.
power button going bad maybe ?

It was 38% charged when it started to work again so it wasn't totally drained.

If it is a bad power button, why didn't it light up when I plugged it to be charged?

Hello,
I own a 5 month old htc one m7. From past few days I have observed that the battery is draining unusually from 100%-85%.Today I observed that it came down to 88% from 100% in half an hour during which the phone was just in standby mode with no background apps running. Is this normal? Please suggest me what to do.
Shut it off and charge it

still turn it off. it will definitely help
To add to the good advice the other people have stated you can try to better calibrate the percentage of your device by letting it run completely down to the point where your phone shuts off. While its off plug it in. Keep it off while its charging. Once its green turn the phone back on, still keeping it plugged in. The indicator will go green to red for a short time. Once your at 100% then you can unplug and use your phone. By running it down to zero and leaving it off and fully charging it you essentially are calibrating the device.
Currently its off, and if it drops to 90% or so within minutes theres a good chance it could do the opposite when it gets so 5% or less. It might sit there for an hour or so because the calibration is off.

It didnt work for me
My phone has water damage. I currently have it in a bag of rice to hopefully bring it back to life. After a few hours I plugged it in to see if that would help, and I it had a strange activity. The LED in the phone handset was lit and green. I never rooted it to enable the LED. Any advice would be great!
PS: Sorry if this post is not the most coherent. I am currently very hungover, and having problems functioning. Also, I have no idea how my phone got wet! Happy Sunday to me!
Try a battery reset
The Dirtydee Z3
The led turns on when the battery is so low that the display can't turn on to show that its charging.
Device should turn on after sometime

As @adity said above, the LED turns on when your battery is too low to turn on the screen.
Charge it for some time.

Testing that now. Thanks for the heads up!
Fingers (and toes) crossed!!
You should've let it rest on rice for like one day.
On the good side, the moto x is kind of water proof.

*Update*
The screen is now on and showing 0% battery. It has been plugged in for hours now with no change in level. I was able to get into FastBoot, however any option I choose results in the phone rebooting back to the battery charge level screen.
Thanks for the help!
*Update 2*
I plugged my phone into my cars 2.1 amp charger and after 20min or so it showed 100% battery. The phone booted, however it did not complete and turned off. When it did It read 0% once more. I have tried volume down and power for 3 mins with no result. Any more tips?
* update 3*
I pulled the back over off and held the battery ribbon down. LIFE!! Phone displayed 100% and it was running fine. However, when I removed it from power it shut off immediately.

I thought so too. I let it charge over night while it was cycling the boot screen, and when I awoke it was perfect. Battery 100% and turned on without issue. I understand letting your battery hit 0% is bad, but having it completely malfunction for 24+ hrs is rather poor play on Motorola's behalf.
How do you know that it's moto's fault?
Perhaps there was still some water left in your device?
This took longer to dry and caused the malfunction...
Don't judge so quickly!
I tell you this, because I had a motorola x with the same problem, the solution was to change the battery. Solved, try another battery
Dropping phone in water and having issues after is Moto's fault....? :silly:
I'll add... Water can and usually does wreak havoc on these things. Anything can go wrong after. Usually I'd say move on. Don't waste time or money trying to fix it.
You maybe were lucky. :good: But to suggest it's Moto's fault is crazy. Lol My X has died many times and 30 seconds on the charger and it boots. Anything you experienced was from the water.... Not a defect.

You put your phone in water, then turned it on again after only trying to dry it for a VERY short time. Bit amazing it even worked, and your complaining because it worked but only after drying?
Jesus man.
Pretty sure LIthium Ion batteries don't like going down near zero. Even when your phone says zero% and the phone automatically turns off it still isn't completely discharged.
I've let my nexus 7, and game controllers sit unused for a while. When you try to use them again they need a really long charge before they will work again.
The water probably put a load across the battery and nearly completely discharged it.
I actually just went thru this. I did the old school battery calibration using NeMa's app in the play store. Says to discharge 100%.. Phew lol. I was stressed. I had the same problems as above
So, multiple times now my Note 5 has died within a minute or so of hitting 5% battery. The battery percentage will quickly plummet to 0 and shut down. However, when I plug it in and it shows the charging while the phone is off screen, it shows approx 5% battery. I assume this is a software bug and there isn't anything I can do about it until the next update. Either way, I wanted to see if anyone else is having this issue.
Don't let it get so low anyway. It shortens the battery life.

Yes, thank you. The phone had only ever hit this low a small handful of times.
Regardless, the phone's behavior is not normal. It reminds me of the Galaxy S2 that I had for all of a month in which I was certain was a defective unit. The entire battery would not last more than two hours of use as it would plummet like a rock -- especially in the last 50%. Similar behavior in the note, except --thankfully-- it's only at the last five percent and the battery appears to still have that five percent inside it. The phone just seems to think that it doesn't and shuts down.

Turn off your phone, and then turn it on pressing and holding Volume Up, Home, and Power button at the same time until you see a warning. Then press Volume Up to continue, and navigate using volume keys and select wipe cache/factory reset with the Home button, then reboot.
Please note that by doing this all your data will be lost.
I likely won't restore my phone unless I get super annoyed by this. I'm going to wait until the Marshmallow update to see if this improves with it.
I just watched the phone go from 8 to 1 percent. It wasn't doing anything and I was just staring at it. This was the first time I had ever plugged it in right before it turned off. When I plugged it in, it shot right to 7 percent. I then unplugged it and watched it go back down over a few minutes. This is very odd.

Why do you damage your battery this way? Keep it topped off always as much as possible. Letting it run low shortens it's life. This is a known fact with Lithium Ion batteries.
Sounds like a bug. Easy fix with update
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
Did you try just wiping the cache without wiping the whole device? My suggestion is charge it to 100%, unplug charger, wipe cache (While phone is off, press and hold Vol Up + Home + Power buttons, release Power button when you see the initial Samsung Galaxy logo), power down, plug charger back in to make sure it stays 100%, then switch phone on.
People (edit: same person both times ) need to calm down over the fact that I occasionally use my battery to 5%. I mean, really.
Yeah, I imagine it would fix with an update.
Shadow, I'll try that. Thanks.

I knew there HAD to be others experiencing this. Do you have an AT&T model?
I'm currently attempting the battery calibration app route. Most seem to be root only, but I found one that didn't need that. The instructions were to charge to 100%, then use the app to calibrate, discharge fully, then charge to 100%. I'm currently on the last charge -- it discharged over night.
Hopefully this works.
It seems that the battery calibration app has done the trick.
I have this issue as well

Hi guys my Xperia Z1 was charged to 100% after some use normally went down to 93% next second i pulled the phone out of the pocket it was turned off tried to turn it on got it to vibrate once but nothing showed up on display tried once again few minutzes later it booted up but just went off on bootloader. I came hame and put it on charger phone turned on showing like 50% battery drained it to zero started charging to 100 on 60-70% on charging suddenly went up to 100%
i used phone for 2 days with random reboots and after switching it on showing different percent of battery remaining, today it wont work without charger after i disconect charger phone shuts down. Could anyone tell me if this is problem with battery or its faulty motherboard maybe? thanks
ps. i need fast answer because im about to buy a battery
Tried to boot phone into safe mode and see how it reacts? Also do you use Stamina mode or any other service that changes or reads system properties?
whats the point of booting in safe mode if battery percent is going crazy even when phone is charging wile its shutdown

You have classic symptoms of a dying battery. Replace it and the problems will go away... If you did a search, you would find exactly the same symptoms described by others and the same solution. Your battery can't hold power due to a deterioration of cells.

Oddly enough, yes. It happens when the tablet discharges too deeply, so try not to let it drop too far.
Plug the tablet in, hold down VOL DN + POWER for at least 10 seconds. It should start booting to the charging screen.
How long did you let it charge?
If the battery was completely depleted charging may take more time. Also, make sure the charger and cable are functional.
Left it charge for a while and about half way up the right hand side as you hold it it gets hot
Tried holding the buttons but nothing happens i will put it back on charge for a while
strange though it had 40% left when i finished using it last night
40% battery left.. was WiFi on? Any apps running?
I'd say, give it some time to recharge. Getting hot while charging is normal.
You still have warranty?
WiFi was on but as far as i know no apps were running
WiFi on. There you go! Bet that caused the drain.
You know, there are some syncing apps that run in the background draining the battery big time.
Suggestion, active Airplane Mode, and deactivate WiFi whenever you don't use it.
Moreover, there's the Mediaserver bug, which scans for media files nonstop.

Been on charge for a couple of hours but still no life
When you power it up pay attention to the navigation buttons.. do they light up?
If so, try to connect the s2 Tab to a computer via USB. Maybe the screen is the issue.
On the other hand, a dead battery can be replaced. Just have to open the back cover..
No the lights dont come on at all
How do you get the back cover off this thing?
Did you try the original charger?
Battery replacement vid,
https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=WL&v=bhO1wndlwhI
Yes tried the original charger
Got the back off so will order a new battery its worth a try
Yes, replacing the battery is definitely worth a try.
Fingers crossed that it is just the battery. Batteries are quite inexpensive and not hard to replace.
Please keep us updated on your operation. And good luck.
Will do
Thanks for all your help
Put the new battery in and it fired up but.......
the battery only had about 5% so i put it on charge it comes up on the screen as charging and it gets warm but it doesnt actually charge
so now its dead again
Good news, your original battery is not dead. Bad news, it might be the USB charging port.
Perhaps it's time to consult a pro like Rossmann,
