Can't charge powered off - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've flashed back to stock and still cant charge while phone is off. When I plug in the charger (phone is off) it stays black and am not able to turn it on until I remove the usb. Once I get passed the bootloaders i can plug it in no problem, but if its still on the bootloaders and I plug it in it turns off. Just want to know what can cause this ?

[Q] Phone DEAD! Just vibrates when plugged in and flashes HTC screen

I have a 100% stock HD7 from Tmobile Im not sure how, but it just stopped booting. On battery it will not turn on at all, but if I plug it in with the volume down I was able to get into the tri color screen and so I was going to flash a stock firmware, but before I could it powered off and just started flickering the htc logo and then vibrating then shutting down then doing this in a loop.... Any ideas could it be that the battery is just dead, but if so why wont it just run while plugged in? Also while plugged it is says it is a pd29110 as well as a touch s1.
Thanks!
If from what you have said I would try another battery and see what happens from that point then on.

I read somewhere to pull the sd card so I did that and it didnt work so I put it on a cheapo wall charger and it didnt light up but I left it and now it has charged and turns on! But now my sd cards says its only 12 mb... Anyone else ever had this problem?
This is typical (imo). This happened when i first plugged the phone in from the shop. Happened again with a completely drained battery. Just plug it in and it cycles... So i pull the plug and plug it back in and it usually catches itself.

Phone bricked itself?

I have no idea what happened. I turned my phone on, it booted to the OS no problem. Nothing was wrong until I noticed that my network said Verizon Wireless, when it should have said Rogers (I live in Canada and am using GSM). So I went to the "mobile network" tab in the settings menu, and my phone just shut off. It was at least at 80% and just shut off. I can't even turn it on now. I have no idea what happened. I can't even turn it on by pressing vol down + power. Plugging it in to the charger does nothing either. I am running the 4/7 build I think of AOKP/ICS leak on 6.16.213. Also, if I plug it in to my PC via USB, the green LED comes on but nothing else happens.
I have the same problem !
Any ideas ?
I exactly the same, when I plug my phone, only instant green led ...
Help !!!
Could an electrostatic discharge of some kind damaged the phone?
What was your battery level beforehand?

My phone did this as well tho I was only stock when it happened... it was I'm guessing a bad USB cable and charger I tried 4 which work just fine on my RAZR but do not on my d4... I finally found one the works and I only use it...

I have find my bad :
When my phone is in fastboot mode, is discharge, and I left it in this mode = no battery ...
I have find one thing : Apple Wall charger can boot the phone, but never whit PC and same USB cable ...
I have making an Factory cable (just connect the PIN5 to +5V USB) and now my phone can be run fastboot with no batery (I think the PIN5 emulate a good battery)
Thanks a lot
Now, I mus unbrick it !
My phone did this today..... No idea why, it starts to boot up and it says "Droid", and then shuts down. It was plugged into our Mac laptop overnight to charge. No idea what is going on. Only thing I can recall changing was turning on Roaming Data in the settings. I am on the current stock rom, and rooted on the Verizon network. I have to unplug it again and replug it to boot up again. I really hate this non-removable battery deal.

[Q] I'm Stuck! How do I charge my battery back up to flash?

I forgot to charge my charge my phone up before I tried to flash my ROM. Now I'm stck in AP Flashboot mode. It says:
Battery Low
Cannot Program
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
What do I need to do? I have tried recharging it but it won't charge back up. A white light comes on the led notification light when I press the power button and it takes it out of AP mode.

1. Find someone with a bionic that will let you charge your battery in their phone.
2. Go to verizon and see if they can charge your phone using one of their Bionics or an external charger.
3. Buy an extra battery (they usually come with enough charge to restore your phone).
4. Buy an external battery charger.
5.Buy a motorola factory flash cable. This type of cable has a different pin out and has the +5v on pin 1 which bypasses the battery and powers the device directly even without a battery inserted at all. here is a link... http://shop.teamblackhat.info/

Xperia Z not powering on

Hi i have a sony xperia z that just doesn't want to power on when it's plugged into the charge the red led appears however that red led goes off after it's been in the charge in around half an hour of it charging it doesn't get recognised by the pc by flashtool or sus or pc companion not any hard reset or any of that work such as vol up + power and vol down + power or vol up + plugging usb in even if i hold the buttons for around 5 minute nothing happens, this phone isn't water damaged as all the indicators are white
Connect to pc's usb and leave it for some times.
And maybe you can explain more what you was doing before it happens like this.
i have connected to the pc and i also left it for more then an hour just when i first connect it to the pc it has a red led but later on that red led comes off and i honestly don't know i bought this phone in this state
I had the phone connected to the pc and that red led went off for a bit then it came back on
Are you using the original charger?
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
yes i tried multiple chargers aswell
i heard about dead xperias without reasons(in most of cases they turned off the phone and it never turn on again) maybe is better if you take it to a centre
Could it be the battery by any chance
bump
Help?
hold down the volume up and power button for 10 seconds, it reboots the phone
let me no if it works
Try what Andy194 said. Falling that try speaking to Sony themselves. Mine did that and they offered me a warranty replacement. Luckily the problem solved itself. As I was about to put it back in its box and send it off, it suddenly booted up fine, on its own.

My Z refused to charge when it was on 1%, as if its conntact with usb cable is not working well, happened once already but it returned to normal. So I decided to turn it off as it would turn itself off anyway. Plugged it in, but it didn't work. Used my Arc's cable and the red led light came up. I waited a bit for the phone to boot up to get to the charging animation, but nothing happened so I plugged it out and to my surprise the red light didn't go off and I can't do anything to turn it on. The phone is just rooted to 4.2.2, BL is locked.

Did you get this to work?
Based on your post count, this is probably a stupid question but:
You tried charging in an outlet (not through computer), right? Any under-the-hood work makes my Bionic run hot and burn through the battery.
More technical: I read somewhere that someone upgraded to windows 8 and fastboot stopped working. Windows 7 fixed the problem (if you're saying that fastboot is the problem, not Vol - & power button recovery mode).
Were you in the process of rooting?

I am kind of having the same problem. I recenty got a droid bionic where I had to replace the LCD screen and battery since when I got it it did not have a battery with it. I got an NON-OEM extended battery and every thing was working fine for three days. In that time I was able to upgrade everyting to the latest software, fireware, and Android version (4.1.2 JB) but after those three days the phoe woould not power on. When I plugged it into my computer and tried, the white power light would just blink at me. when I unplugged it from the computer and tried it would not even come on. I thought it was the battery so I sent it back and got an OEM extended batter and a OEM dock/charger. When I got everything I plugged it all in and the screen came on with the Motorola M logo and then showed me a picture of the battery at 5%, so I let it charger over night. In the morning I pressed the power button while still plugged into the charger, the phone light up saying the battery was at 100%. So I took it off the charger and tried to power up. Nothing happened. I plugged it into my computer and the white power light came on and stayed solid but still no power-up. I just tries the Volume Up/Down power while plugged into the wall charger and I can get to the recovery screen and try the normal boot up, I get the Motorola M Logo screen, I just now tried recovery and the little Droid just showed up with its stomach with a red triangle and an ! in it and is just sittin there. and now it when back to the Motorola M Logo screen then the battery screen. Does this mean mine is bricked as well? Please some one help.
Bumping because of no help yet. I can access the recovery screen but does not seem to help any, it also has to be plugged into the wall charger for this to happen but I can not power it up whether it is plugged in or not. Please Help someone so I can get this figures out.
Alright strange thing to try, plug it into your computer, while plugged in take it the battery, give it a minute and put it back in while still plugged in.

Did as you suggest but when I took out the battery. the white light stayed on. Still could do nothing. Waited 2 minutes, put the battery back in and still nothing. All I get is the white light staying on. I unplug from the computer, the light turns off and still nothing, not even the recovery screen will boot up.
Can you get to the fast boot option by holding both volume buttons and power

As long as I keep it plugged into the wall charger I can. When I go there it says "Battery Low Cannot Program Connect USB Data Cable. But as soon as I unplug the wall charger it shuts off and I can not get back to fast boot. When I plug it into the USB cable and plug into the computer, I can not get to fast boot. I just check and it says my battery is at 100%. but when I first plug it in it says 5%.
Your gonna need to charge your battery with either an external charger or the usb charging hack before you can perform an fxz on it
