Battery power is needed. It's been that way on all the HTC and nokia phones I've ever had.
The phone needs to be running its low level software in order to activate the charger, which isn't possible if it isn't getting power from the battery in the first place.
Thanks for the info, that answser my question. Um so based on that is it possible my battery just died?
So here's what happened:
I just got my hTC HD7, it had some juice alredy so I played around with it, when the battery got empty, I charged it. But my plug has a on/off switcher. I tripped over it and turned it off. This was the first time I charged the phone. What shall I do? I put the phone back in the box. Shall I get a new battery or charge the phone again? HHHEEELLLPPP!!!!
Just leave it to charge? Accidentally turning off the charger while the phone is charging doesn't do it any damage. I knock the plug loose all the time.

A full charge for the first time can be interruped without issue, lithium-ion batterys do not carry a charge memory unlike older handsets where you did have to give a full charge from the outset.
To get the best life from your battery or spares try to do the following:
Try to keep the handset out of any heated environment (eg; a car on a sunny day with windows closed) as this could stress the battery and decrease the charge life.
Do not use another charger that could stress the battery with over voltage (keeping it plugged in after full charge with the regular charger will not affect the battery) the battery will degrage however if it were allowed to exceed the 4.20V/cell limit.
If storing a spare battery for an extended period of time it is recommended that the charge level is around 40% for optimum lifespan.
Hope this helps,

I am now seeing a good amount of 1500mAh batteries on ebay(link below), any thoughts?

first off, thanks for that helpful tip on saving batter power. i just have a question concerning the above mentioned (quote) do computer/laptop usb ports supply the same voltage as the charger that came along with the phone? will it hurt the stock battery if i always use the laptop usb port to charge my phone?
thanks in advance

the first one seems to be the same as the stock battery but the second will surely get you through a day without charging with all phone features on(data,wifi as in everything) or a whole day of heavy calling and sms. but if there are only a select features turned on or on stand by mode roughly it will last you two - two and a half.

Seriously, c´mon guys, if the battery dies, just replace it, charge the battery how you want (partial charge is better for Li-based batteries than a full charge), also, HD7 stops charging the battery once it reaches maximum charge level, so if you keep it on charger, green LED will be on, but no charging is done, this is to prevent stressing the cells (cells are most stressed when on full charge and fully discharged). So no worries here .
Hi all, I bought a busted Droid A855 from a friend with a few problems and I can't fix one of them.The battery wouldn't charge and showed the gray question mark battery icon. I thought the battery was defective because the phone is old and I bought a new battery, however it still would not charge and still showed the question mark. It was a knock-off brand battery, so after some forum searching, I bought an OEM battery. That battery behaved just the same as the knock-off battery. When I power the phone on without a battery, it says connect your charger, shows the gray question mark battery and says I have 5% battery under system information. That's the part that stumps me. It also won't power up when connected to a USB port without a battery. I have an OEM USB cord and outlet brick. It's running 2.2.2 stock with no root. I have no idea where to go from here, and would try just about anything short of smashing the phone at this point.
About a month ago I bought a new battery for my Millestone.
The problem is I can't callibrate it. I tried everthing. Both methods deleting batterystats.bin, removing and inserting the battery in a variety of combinations. Nothing works.
The thing is the Milestone charges to 100% and after about 12 hours it shows 1%. Phone works for another day or even two days showing 1% and blinking red.
When I go to OR the battery level seems to be normal as it should be.
I installed even fresh ROM. That didn't help as well.
I'm using CyanogenMod 7.2.4b with custom kernel via 2ndboot. Please help!
Is it an authentic Moto battery or a 3rd party?
Maybe you should try disabling the 1% battery steps option in the Milestone Settings.

It's an original Motorola Battery. I'll try disabling 1% steps. Good idea
No. Turnning 1% steps off didnt work.
How do you charge your phone? Do you use a wall charger or you connect the phone to a computer? From what I experienced, the voltage that comes form a wall charger may be different than from a computer. In case you use your computer to charge, switch to the wall charger.
I just got my xperia z, just wondering do i need to charge it for like 8 hours straight for the first time charge after draining its battery?
Also, will the battery overcharge if i accidentally leave it on the charger for extended periods of time?
I always find it best to follow what the manufacturer says, in this case:
Charge for 30 minutes before first use - after that, use untill drained and recharge till full - you're done. No "formatting" of the battery is needed, it's a thing of the past.
And no, the battery will not overcharge. If it could overcharge - they wouldn't make a charging dock for it. Modern batteries have a chip inside that measures their charge level and cuts the power when they reach 100%.
AW: Charging

You can not damage the battery by leaving it on the charger. The first charge won't take 8 hours, after reaching 100% it is fully charged.
Ah shoot, what I did was slightly different than you said :/
I sorta drained the battery on first use, and it's currently charging and just reached 100%..it doesn't make much of a difference though, does it? or do i need to do some specific steps like to drain the battery all over again and recharge til full?

NO need to charge it before using
however u don know wht s the battery level it s ok to charge it for 30mins But if the phone has more than 50% charge u don need to charge it at first use.
anyway if u didn do that like me and found ur battery has more than 50% charge thr s no problem at all However no problem if less than 50%
it s a smart device so thr s no over charge for its battery
Ah okay, then there should be nothing to worry about
thanks for the replies!
