I bought 3 Touchpads and kept two. I installed twrp with cm9 on all of them.
The one I didn't keep I gave to my son. He let the battery drain completely while in android and now it appears totally dead. I plug it in...try on touchstone and nothing.
Is it over??

Not necessarily check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36038263#post36038263 .
I hope it helps, the touchstone has always worked for me but I have bookmarked the above just in case .
Good luck ..
Other than the debrick, I had this problem a few days ago and discovered that using a cable that want the one that came with the TP just didn't provide enough charge. Switching to the original cable fixed it. It's a long shot, but if you're using a 3rd-party cable try to get an original.

hi im having problem charging my galaxy, it won't charge at all after the battery died out once when i plug it into a power source the loading circle comes out then battery than it repeates everytime. Is this the way a galaxy charges i never had a phone like this before.
I am new to this forum and I am having the same issue, I got my phone yesterday and now I am only getting the gray battery with circle flashing every 10 or 15 seconds, I have tried switching wall sockets and usb ports
Any help will be helpful. Thanks
Mario
What was the problem... mine is doing this out of the blue. Thinking it is the battery but let me know what your problem was ...
The charging / micro USB socket could be broken. Does it work if you wiggle it around a little bit?
Alternatively the actual plug / socket could be broken. Have you tried a different one?
Have exactly the same problem.

I have two battery's for my Galaxy S - the same results on each battery. Bin today to a technical store they have made an examination of the USB. No hardware issues, must be software.
Will flash back to a stock GB.
Results coming up later.
Right now on: MIUI MintBerry Edition 1.12.2-2 (2.3.7)

I found the charger that comes with the galaxy s is to be blunt, ****. Mine packed up after a few days so I bought a non geniune one from fleabay and thats been fine.
With stock GB the issue still pressist. I will also try with a different charger, hope it will work.

My phone is refusing to charge, I have no clue what got into it. I had to fiddle and press extremely tightly and I figured I'd take it to AT&T today as this happened last night.
Well I woke up this morning and it was dead, it does not want to receive any charge at all. I did back up my contacts and texts, but I don't see the folders I had Dropboxed last night.
I have a rooted and ROMed phone, will this matter to AT&T? I just need them fix the port. I want to go back to stock but it's completely dead now.
I'd suggest to just give them a call so they send you a new one. If you manage to power it on or boost it on, then do so but bringing it to AT&T could be a problem. The custom ROM itself isn't so bad but rooting voids your waranty.
If you call their technician, they'll tell you to try a couple things and if it doesn't work, they usually send you a new one as long as you are under waranty.
Two things to try:
1. Plug it in to a rear USB port on your pc.
2. Try another micro usb cable.
You probably already tried these 2 steps and if you have I apoligize for not offering much assistance.
I have yes, I have 3 different cables and it's the same. I've tried other ports, I tried the wall charger. I had some luck last night in my car as I kept it tight inside the middle console, but nothing this morning.
I guess I'll call instead then. If they send me one I can at least charge the battery and fix it, ship it back? Thank you!
EDIT: I'm SOL
The AT&T Chat support woman directed me to a specific location where they will check if it's my battery or the phone. If I could just get one charge on it I could fix it!
Why not buy a battery and charger. Or use a buds phone battery?

I'm not sure I know anyone else with a Captivate...but I'll have to look into the battery charger. Thanks for the suggestion.
This happened to me with a replacement captivate. I got it rooted and rom'd and then the port went dead. So I had to charge with my first one, and then wirelessly transfer the files to flash back. I had taken it to the warranty center, and it was running a custom stock rom, with super user and all that but they didn't notice

Fyi. If you didn't know. The batterbattery n a vibrant would work too.

Did you try and pull the battery out and re-seat it after about 10 minutes of not being in the phone?
Also if you call them you will want to make sure when you send the phone back, that you un root it. A friend just got a bill for his referbed captivate and it wasn't cheap!
I had this same thing happen to me (useing a rooted stock rom). Thankfully I had a second battery to use for a while. After a while I decided to try the dead battery, it took a few hours for the battery symbol to show and another 16 hours to get to a full charge. Try that... it might just be that the battery is just so dead it takes a while. Also if that is the case make sure get rid of the batterystats.bin file and you should be good to go. Worse comes to worse if you go to the at&t mobile device center just have them give you a new battery and it should be fine... good luck
Let me know how it goes

Hey guys,
I connected my phone to my PC over night for charging as always but when I got up and took my phone it only had 4% battery! It's like the battery just wiped itself from a moment to the other. And now when I try to charge it again the light shows it charges but when I turn on my phone after 30min the battery didn't charge at all... Did anyone experience this before? Do I have to buy a new battery?
Sounds like your battery is shot. So you may need a different battery.
Try different cables etc but if that doesn't work you need a New battery.

Tried a few cables. Weird thing though: In recovery it says 32% and when I boot it up now it says 9% but doesn't really change. Seems like the battery is screwed up... Could it be that the Desire HD has got the exact same battery? Because if it's so I could try with the battery from my dad's DHD...
EDIT: Ok, it's not the same This is gonna be expensive...
EDIT2: So I got my new battery but the phone still drains too fast imo and I can't really charge the battery to 100%... Is sth wrong with the USB-port??

This might help.
Let your battery drain completely and let your cell get switched off.
And then in switched off state, charge your phone completely.
Switch it on...Use your cell as you do it regularly.
Repeat this procedure 3-4 times.
You will be surely benefitted.
did you try plugging into the wall? different USB port?
I had similar issue awhile back that it didn't want to charge with USB but with the AC adapter it worked fine. Also noticed it wouldn't work with USB at all I sent it in for repair and it was apparently USB port broken. Then I had to send it in again because when they fixed usb they broke mainboard
p.s omg I hate captcha tried posting this 10 times ...
Looks like I forgot to post So here is what happened: I got a new battery but even that I couldn't charge with USB. Than I pulled out my AC adapter and it works fine now. Looks like my USB Port is shot but since it still works and just won't charge my phone, I'll ignore that. But my old battery was surely shot because I couldn't even charge it with AC adapter...
Sorry if this seems a little late. It could be the roms fault you are getting strange readings. When I use ice cold and reboot my phone, the battery percentage reading changes like crazy. Sometimes the reboot makes the reading go up, and sometimes down.
USB port breaking is a common fault on inc s, though, so it could be that also, as you have said.
I tried ar least 5 different ROMs so I'm pretty sure that's not it That was also the first thing that came into my mind;D
Have u checked the charger plug cos if its that stupid black charger that comes with the phone they can play up my old one does this and I have to twist it slightly for the pins to touch try a apple charger or another USB charger

My touchpad seems to have completely died, it always lives on my touch stone charging base.
As usual I went to pick it up and nothing. I've held the force reboot button sequence and I've tried every button sequence for various amounts of time.
I've plugged it into the HP charger directly with a cable over night, over plugged it into a USB port for a day to try and trickle charge it but still no luck.
If I plug it into my laptop and hold power and vol button I get no windows noises at all.
Is it completely dead?
What can I try next to resurrect it?
Any help would be health appreciated.
Thanks

Assuming you hadn't just installed a new rom, put it back on the Touchstone charger as sometimes it is either placed incorrectly or is just having a hissy, leave it for at least a few hours preferably longer. Hopefully your Touchstone is still working if that doesn't work do the pc usb charge overnight.
What Rom are you on?
Using the latest jcsullins ROM. I've now tried 3 USB chargers (HP, HTC and Apple), neither have successfully booted yet

As said above, I'm assuming you've been using your Rom for a while and if not that you enabled MTP in storage settings.
All the best.

Yep, been using it since the March update with no problems.
I've put if back on the touchstone charger now. Hopefully it will cooked back to life.

Something similar happened to me in the past. What I did was plug it in via usb (directly to the outlet) for a day or two and it came back to life. For some reason it refused to charge via touchstone.
OK, been sat on the touchstone for a couple of days, tried turning upside down. No luck. Now sat plugged into USB on PC, will leave for a few days and see if it comes back to life. Will Try direct cable next.
Fingers crossed.

It is possible that the Touchstone has gone, they all came with a 2 year warranty so you are entitled to have it replaced. Unfortunately HP is only providing service via email so you could try that or the retailer you bought it from.
In my case they just sent a new one.
Good luck
Tried it plugged into USB socket of PC But still no luck, also tried it plugged into the HP charger directly over the weekend and still nothing.
What can I try next?

Mine's been on a combination of charges, each for 2-3 days at a time now. No luck. I think it's gone. Be sure to post if anything short of opening the thing up to get to the battery works for you.
I may try to change the battery, or charge it externally. Desperate times...
I opened mine to see if the battery could easily be unplugged. It's a pain to open and the battery is stuck down, the wires are connected under a PCB which meant dismantling it completely. I turned back at this point and plugged it back in to charge.

Update
Left charging in various ways with no result. Left unplugged for the last week nearly, tried holding various buttons with no affect.
Plugged it back in via cable into hp charger and left it.... And it came to life again :thumbup:

Hi,
My IncS has started playing up over the past week or so.
Every night now, when I get up in the morning I have to remove the battery from the phone and power it back up as it has totally frozen.
Another weird thing is the battery is normally really drained once I have it powered back up. Doesn't have any problems during the day at all, never freezes or anything but overnight when it is plugged in to charge,it dies.
I've tried replacing the battery (I had a spare) as it only happens when mains charging and, like I said, when it is turned back on the battery is substantially lower then when it was plugged in but that didn't help.
I tried totally wiping the phone and installing a new ROM (szeszo's lovely new cyanogen with his Tesco kernal) and it is still happening...
Anyone else experienced this? Any idea what's caused it? And finally, does anyone know a way I can do so kind of logs about what is going on?
Thanks...
I had the same issue too. Was USB connector related. Had to sent my device to htc repair

Unfortunately it didn't turn out to be the USB port or cable. Thanks for the suggestions though.
It started freezing when it wasn't plugged in at all and it was doing my nut in...
Yesterday I bought a Note 2 and it gets delivered today. I know, it's huge and I'll probably end up selling it on when I get fed up of having to carry it round in a wheel barrow
It is such a damn shame to be putting the IncS to sleep at last. It's been a damn good phone for a long time (probably the longest I've ever used 1 phone for!). Somehow I can't imaging the Note being as well made as this was. The moment HTC do a Nexus phone I'll be selling whatever I have and buying up cos that will be awesome.
Anyway, guess I'll be off to the Note forums now.
Later guys, and thanks...
