Charging after dead battery issues?

I let my Nook die yesterday, unintentionally, and now I can't get it to charge back up. The second I plug it in, it goes to the "battery too low to power on, try again in 15minutes" screen and just sits there. Its been nearly an hour on an AC wall charger. I can't power it off because it automatically turns on when plugged in, so then it goes straight to that screen. When its plugged in and I power it off, it comes right back on and to that screen also.
Any tips? I'm just going to let it sit on the charger and hope for the best. Otherwise it seems like I'm kinda screwed?

Damn no one else has had this problem?
I made a bootable recovery SD card and managed to get into clockwork, I let it sit on the charger for 20mins, took out the SD and rebooted it and still goes to the 'battery too low' screen. Idk what else to try, I've done every possible way I can think of and I guess I'm declaring it 'semi-bricked'.
No one know a trick way thru ADB I can bypass that screen?
I suppose ill be returning this sometime today

You let it sit on the charger for twenty minutes did you? Patient much?
Are you using the Nook Charger cable AND charger? If not, 20 minutes wouldn't put enough charge in there to register a change at all.
Leave it on the charger for a few hours. And for the love of god, don't screw up your NC and take it back and exchange it, it just screws it up for everyone else. You messed it up, fix it.

[Q] Phone completely dead. Any ideas?

Today my phone suddenly died on me and refuses to boot up. I came home from work and the phone was working fine. Made a few phone calls, checked a few apps etc. Battery was about 70%.
I left the phone aside and when I picked it up at bed time, it had shut down. Now it doesn't boot at all. I thought maybe the battery had suddenly died down and put it to charge but it isn't turning on at all. Can't even get to the LG logo. Anyone have any clue what to do?
I thought I was one of the lucky few to get a handset which didn't reboot
Edit: Thought I should mention that I was running stock ROM, rooted, with CWM recovery installed

Can you bring up recovery mode? Did you try NVFlash?

Remove and replace the battery first and then try charging trough your usb cable and pc. Let it charge for a few minutes and try to boot.

had the same problem.
nvflash fixed it, once the problem was solved I kept getting reboots 20x a day so I nvflashed again and flashed CM7 and havent had a reboot/ BSOD since. I also thought I was one of the lucky ones that didn't reboot at first btw

Thanks guys. Wouldn't power up at all in normal or recovery so couldn't nvflash it. Tried usb, charging etc etc.
However after countless battery pulls just started up again and working perfectly since. I've powered up my trusty htc magic as a backup meanwhile. No idea what went wrong at all.

by recovery you ment CWM or Upgrade mode? (that is remove battery, hold volume down button and plug in usb while holding it)

Not tried upgrade mode just the volume+power. Maybe something to keep in mind for next time.

ok, i just wanted to make sure that upgrade mode works even if the phone is completely ****ed up

[Q] Power Consumption Exceeds Supply

I frequently receive a notification pop up indicating something like, "that the device power consumption currently exceeds the supply. Please plug in."
I take care to exit unused applications, etc, but this still occurs. In fact, I have tried rebooting to ensure nothing is left running in the background. Oddly, it occurs EVEN WHEN PLUGGED INTO THE CAR OR USB outlet... Most often this occurs when I'm using the device for navigation, so GPS, and DATA will be on. The notice has also popped up during other applications. It has happened when using LTE but also when LTE is disabled.
Is this something that everyone is experiencing? If you are, can you please post your Service provider, your SPECS, any mods, or if you have made any progress in stopping it. Lets see if we can track this down.

That's strange. I've never seen a message like that. It doesn't sound like something native to Android / Sense, do you have any battery monitoring / power control apps installed that could be giving this message? How long does your phone last on a charge if you don't plug it in?

I've seen that error before. I wasn't using the USB cable and charger that came with my phone and that cable was damaged in the USB socket. Have you tried other plugs?
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using XDA App

The reason you are probably seeing that on car or USB charger is due to then not proving the right amount of power. If you have the screen brightness set high and using navigation it uses quite a bit of power. Most USB and car chargers usually only provide I believe a half amp where as most phones like a charger that users 1 amp.

Ive had that happen once when I was playing a really graphics intense game. I was over at a friends house and had it plugged into his computer to charge and was showing him how much better a game looked on my phone than his and it did that. I was using the 3 usb ports on the front of his tower, and he also had his phone and a headset plugged in that front hub as well, and since that hub is powered by one connection on the motherboard I just figured the 3 devices (mainly the 2 phones) were just drawing too much power at the time.

I have had it happen when I was playing a graphics intensive game while plugged into USB on my computer, but never when plugged into AC or car charger.

Thanks for the replies. Good to know it is not just my device.
Unfortunately, my problem has compounded. While I was using it last night, plugged into a USB in the car, it drained enough to shut itself down. I let it sit for a bit and tried to boot it up again. It quickly shut off again. I plugged it into the HTC wall charger over night. When I got up in the morning, it still wouldnt turn on. I tried pulling the battery, replacing it and plugging in again. The LED lights up orange for about 4 seconds, goes off and stays off. It wont turn on.
I left it plugged in for the day while I was out, and nothing. It still won't power up. I notice the battery is cold, further indicating to me that the issue is that it is not being charged at all (rather than a charged battery in a dead device).
I have tried two different USB cables and tried both the wall adapter as well as the computer USB port. Nada... Unfortunately I don't know anyone with a Holiday, so I think I will have to go to the store tomorrow and see if someone will be kind enough to charge my battery in a store phone for an hour or something...
Anyhow, once I get it running again, I want to avoid this in future. I currently have it Network unlocked, and Bootloader unlocked. I have installed CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4, and Rumrunner Beta 11. There was talk that a version of CWM Recovery was not allowing the device to charge while it was off. I am thinking that this is perhaps the culprit in my case. Although I thought that was for 5.0.2.7 (or something similar)?
Any input would be appreciated.

I would find someone with a vivid and try on it, maybe the battery is dead.

Make sure you have beta2 of the recovery which resolves this issue, I too have the Bell Raider and have yet to see this error. I'm running stock with bloat removed and rooted with beta2 recovery. Just go in the recovery if you do not see beta2 written in the CWM header you don't have the latest.

It looks like this is bang on. Apparantly computer USB ports for USB 1, 1.1 are minimum 200 mA with 500 mA recommended. Not sure about USB 2.0. Interestingly there is a proposal for USB 3.0 to allow for 20 Amps or more so you could easily power a laptop and other devices through a USB connection.
The HTC Holiday draws something more than 500 mA and presumably a max of 1 Amp as this is what the included HTC wall charger is rated for.
Anyhow, I guess I will have to pick up a new car charger, because the USB port in my car only pushes 500 mA max, and same for my current car charger.

I noticed that when I would remove and reinsert the battery with the device plugged in, the orange light would illuminate for about 4 or 5 seconds, then go off. In the hopes that this meant that the battery was charging for that brief period, I repeatedly removed and reinserted the battery for about 10 minutes this morning, trying the power button each time. It finally booted up. I turned the screen off and left it alone to charge. A few hours later I checked on it and it is up to about 1/3. Anyhow, putting that out there as a last resort if anyone else has a similar problem.

Thanks. After I let the battery charge right up, I will check that. (I don't want to tempt trouble by rebooting until I have finished a charge). I thought I had the latest version but maybe I borked something in the update.
jebise or other Bell Raider users: Were you able to use the ph39IMG method of flashing? I have had no success with it; I got an error that it was for the wrong type of device. I deleted the zip and used the next method listed in the superguide. However, now I get a series of errors relating to not finding ph39IMG when I boot into HBoot.
Thanks

if you use the fastboot method to flash the recovery, you dont need the PH39IMG. the 'error' messages you see when you boot into HBOOT is normal. every time you boot into HBOOT it looks for the PH39IMG.zip on your sdcard

PH39IMG.zip did not work for me had to use fastboot. As PG states its normal to get those errors, because it looking for PH39IMG.zip and can't find it.

Thanks for clarification on the "normal" errors I should expect. Im not a total noob, but feel like it, switching to HTC. I understand I can use the fastboot method and have done so. But do I have to? The PH39IMG.ZIP would be much more user friendly. So, why would I be getting an Invalid Device error with the PH39IMG.zip from the superguide post? Is it specific to the AT&T Vivid or something?
Anyhow, after all the problems I was having, I decided to wipe/factory reset and restore from a Backup made in CWM recovery right after installing Rumraider for the first time. I am just waiting for the device to reboot (has been on the HTC boot screen for about 10 minutes now... :-/

once you have done your recovery you dont need to do it again until you update the recovery with a newer version. its a one time thing, unless you relock stock RUU the device.
the ph39img.zip was configured for at&t vivid. you would probably need to modify it for any other holiday device.
if you are restoring from a backup, did you make sure and flash your boot.img from your backup first? otherwise you will be stuck at that HTC screen for a lot longer....just boot into HBOOT and flash the stock boot.img

[Q] Can't Boot Phone

So I've been running HoliRaider v1 and it's been working beautifully however last night my phone died, and when it dies it boots into recovery. This is usually fine however the phone will not charge in recovery but instantly boots into it if i plug it in. Basically, it's stuck there because it only charges (as shown by the orange light indicator) for a second before entering recovery. Then, it just stays there. I'm not sure if I should even restore at this point, as that wouldn't exactly work with 0 battery. If anyone has any idea what to do please let me know.

Looks like you either need to charge the battery using a stock phone from either a friend or go to the att store and see if they will let you charge your battery on their floor unit for a few

at this point getting the battery charged is priority. this is probably your best bet without having to buy some kind of charger or new battery

I had this happen when I first got the phone. Should you eventually get it to boot (I did after taking out the battery, putting it back in, and then trying to turn it on while plugging it in, it took many attempts), let it charge to 100%, then flash thecubed's ClockworkMod which supports chargemode when powered off. You should be fine after that.

you can flash the recovery in fastboot if the phone stays on long enough.

Nope - you'll need to charge it externally, then you need to get new recovery. CWM doesn't support off mode charging, so if your battery dies, you have to charge it out of the phone. Go to ATT store and ask them if they can charge it for you for a while

Just a question what is off mode charging?
Sent from my HTC Raider running Sense 4.1

Ok guys I think I got it.
What I did was
Take out the battery
Put the batter back in
Plug in the charger
When the light come on hold down Vol down and power button
When phone boots to bootlader choose recovery
you will get white HTC creen, leave phone plugged in for a while 30 mins or so
then while leaving charger plugged in attempt to power phone pn
phone should boot regularly
Finally.... don't let phone battery run down or get external charger or change to twrp as one person suggested.
I'm just glad that I was able to get my phone booted, as I live outside the US can't go to an ATT store and HTC phones aren't the most popular here.
I'm wondering if I should order a battery from Amazon just in case :silly:
