Battery needed for phone to turn on? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why does the phone need the battery to turn on when plugged into the charger?
I seem to remember one of my earlier HTC phones could do this. Or is my mind playing tricks on me?

No Android phone I know allows you to power it up from the charger alone. Nexus1 is no different.

[Q] I need help. The phone is dead

I was usig htc one with android revolution HD 7.1 about a month, it went perfect , and one night when he was in standy by I wanted to open it to check email but did not want to open, I tried several times to press the power button, then tried power + volume up went into bootloader and I rebooted thinking it's something one time. After my picture appears dark from HTC and not react to any key combination. when I connect the USB or charger does not light no light nothing. I noticed today that after 12 hours after I left it completely dead after I connect the charger the red light lit up sign that is loading, I opened it and I was glad to go, the battery was at 1% I played little with him after I left to charge. After 30 minutes when I tried to open same problem completely dead stop responding to any order and then all stand there. I want to send it to warranty but do not know if I receive it because it's modified software and not stock. Can someone help me?
its sounds like a battery problem to me.

Yes I used a Sony Xperia Charger but I don't think this is the problem... My biggest problem is if they will receive it in warranty change with the bootloader unlocked , and android revolution hd in it.. I think increasingly more like it would be a problem with the battery. at intervals of 5-6 hours if you stay connected to the charger lit about 10 minutes and can use after dying ..
How can I copy on sd card from bootloader/recovery ?

Strange shut down on Low battery

Hi everybody.. i'm encountering this problem with my HTC one. When I reach the 20 %-9 % range of the battery the one shut down. Try to reboot and shut down again on lock screen.then I'm forceed to put it on charge. Why this strange behavior ? Battery is broken or not calibrated?or a bug? Please help !!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
If i remember their is a battery calibration file somewhere in the system, if it is deleted it causes the phone to re-calibrate the battery gauge, have you tried a battery re-calibration app from the app store, i think this is what they do.

All stock!

If it`s all stock and you dont want to root, all you can do is full charge and then run it till it shuts down a couple of times and hope the battery gauge learns the true battery capacity, if this does not work.
Or you could try charging it to 100% and keep it plugged in, then do a restore to factory defaults while plugged in, then see if that fixes it.
If this does not work, you might have a faulty battery, get a replacement phone.

Found this fix online, see if it works.
Option 2: (No Root) Physical Battery Calibration This option is also very simple, but at the same time, a little more time consuming. If you have a rooted device, Option 1 is definitely the way to go. However, if you don’t know what “root” means, stick with Option 2 and go check out the root section of Android Authority.
Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more.
Unplug the charger.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug the charger.
Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug, turn it on and use as normal. Your battery life should now be a lot better.

Extended battery case?

Has anyone found a case that has a battery in it for the X? I don't think I can get this phone if it doesn't have it. Maybe I can request it from the companies that make them for other phones.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
i don't think this is possible with this phone unless the case connects to the usb plug. there is no external charging port.

Incipio is supposed to be coming out with The offGRID Thin Battery Case for the Moto X. I'm assuming it's still being worked on because it's the only case left in their series i believe that is not on the market yet. Sorry, i can't post links yet, but the majority of link is below

That's pretty much how all battery cases work. The cases themselves have a usb port you use to charge the case and phone at the same time.

No problem. Anytime...The Moto X is a great phone and I'm glad to see that the 3rd party manufacturers are getting on board with Motorola to really get these accessories out to the many owners of this phone.
Depending on your usage you may not need it. I had a Nexus as well, and used to charge it 3+ times a day. With the X so far I can make it though a full day without issue.

With my phone completely stock and having Wi-F ( never on Wi-Fi though)i, BT, auto brightness etc enabled all the time, I'm getting 4hrs screen time, 1 hour talk with 16hrs off the charger and still ending the day with 20%+ battery life. If I root, debloat and greenify, I'm certain I could get 5+hrs screen 2hrs talk and have more left in that same period... But I'm sticking stock for the time being as it's almost perfect the way it is.
With my sgs3 I'd have to fully charged it sometime early afternoon to use it this much.

M8 won't power on

My M8 won't power on the battery was drained out and powered off , got home put on charger over night and tried power it back on but won't power on it been 3 day still not powering on I held down the power button and volume up nothing and held down the power button and volume down and still nothing it won't power on at all any ideas can anyone help me with thise or might any other solutions or tips
Try a different power cord.
Sent from my 831C using XDA Premium App
sounds like it might need a jump charge, make sure you're using the htc charger and cord that came with the device. if you still cant get it to charge take it into a sprint store and tell em the phone died and cant be charged, they'll use some special thing to jump start it
On my friends LTE I googled something similar and found that on that phone u had to reset the battery charge logic by holding power, volume up, and volume down for 2 minutes. It started taking a charge after that. Might be with a shot?

Glad it fixed yours, my friends EVO is dead, she jumped off the HTC ship and got herself an s4 :/ lucky for me though because she doesn't feel the need to use her upgrade (47 days) and we are on the same account. So she said I can use hers instead of mine (228 days)

[SOLUTION] Phone shutting down with battery not empty

This solved my problem regarding the phone turning of at 50% battery or 37% etc. You will see after applying the settings the battery percentage will change and show the real battery life.
I got this solution from a Google tech.
1) Power off your phone.
2) Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons. This will put the phone in fastboot.
3) Use the Volume buttons to scroll through the menu until you see "Bootloader logs"
4) Press and hold the power key for a long time (7+ seconds) until the phone reboots.

After days and days of searching and trying a zillion things without success and just as I was ready to RMA the phone I stumbled upon this suggestion in the Google forums. It was posted by a Google tech somewhere in the middle of a really big thread that I couldn't find again. No I didn't find this by myself but wanted to share for users to be able to find it easily.

I returned my phone a few weeks ago because of this issue and got a replacement from Motorola . I do notice certain kernels will create this situation moreso than the stock rom or stock kernel will not create this issue so that's also something to think about.
However, thanks for the insight should my replacement phone display the same symptoms.
Edit: interesting, I just tried your suggestion and my battery went from 91% to 66%.
I am on the validator kernel using the suggested settings.

That's good. It means that your battery would have died at about 25%.
Let me ask you? Are you using a wireless charger?

On occasion at work but not at home. Sounds like another cause. Why would it if I may ask?
I actually find them to be silly as you must plug the charger base via USB which I can do with phone! Just another step IMHO including finding the sweet spot when resting on charger.

I've noticed from my own experience and after talking with others that this issue has started after I started using a wireless charger. Maybe it's just a coincidence but I'm trying to gather some info.

I will be using the phone for 6-7 days without the wireless charger to see if the problem comes back. If it doesn't I will then use the wireless charger and see if problem shows up. This is an issue with a lot of people and many of them have RMA'd the phone just to realize that the problem came back and it's not a hardware issue.

By using a regular 5v charger instead of the idiotic 5/9/12v charger that came with it.
I am having the below issue.
1. If phone is around the 30% mark, and I receive a call, it would just switch off.
2. If i reboot the phone with it being around 30% mark, it will just switch off after displaying the lockscreen.
Is this behavior that is same as the one in the thread?
I tried the mentioned steps and my battery percentage stayed the same. It also shows the same battery percentage in TWRP.

Yes exactly the same problem. Keep pushing the power button a few seconds longer after phone switches off. My problem was fixed but a week later it came back. For others it was fixed permanently. There's a lot of people with this problem and they keep increasing. I fear that certain wireless chargers are causing it. Are you using a wireless charger?

No I am not using any wireless charger. I only use the turbo charger at home and a 2A N7 charger at work.
I am waiting for 5.1 and will run it for a few days to test . Hope that 5.1 will fix this issue.
Also Google suppport asked me to reboot into safe mode and see if the issue is still there.
Just tried this and it went from 82 to 85%.
I have an issue where the phone turns off at 5%
I have this problem currently with my N6 and it is beyond madding.
First it would do it only when the phone was getting to 30~35% tried the fix.
Now the phone crashes it all the time. 80% crash, charge for a little bit use again 85% crash, charge to 100% use streaming a movie from google play 65% crash. now im going to try a custom rom to see if that will fix it.
tried the fix several time only seems to make it worse.
even with a blank install after reinstalling the stock img the phone will crash.
