So I used GPS to navigate from NJ to Connecticut. Phone was using car charger and well as being on full brightness and Google Navigation running. I happened to notice the LED light was blinking red which I've never. I had some emails and messages, which I cleared the notifications and read them. The light still blinked red. It continued until I unplugged the charger for a bit, exited out of nav, and plugged it back in, and reopened Nav. The phone was very hot.
I also noticed the car charger didn't seem to keep up with the amount of power the phone was drawing, because it had decreased a little, but not drastically.
Was it overheating? Is this normal? Now I'm in the office charging it normally and there is no blinking red LED, just the typical static red LED.
unless you have a fast charge car charger it wont keep up while using navigation. ive experienced that on every smart phone ive owned. im not sure about the blinking red light. might be because it was in charge mode and was losing power. and its gonna get hot when charging and using gps/nav or playing games
This just happened to me in the car. I took at look at the temperature with a battery monitor and it looks like it happens at around 120 degrees F. Searching other threads (One X) shows similar behavior when an overheat+charging condition occurs. After I blasted the A/C and cooled the phone off, the phone resumed charging (solid red LED) without having to re-insert USB.

If my Droid 3 is off how do I turn it on while being connected and charged by usb cable?
The LED indicator light does not turn on even though the battery is <5% and the phone is off. Even at 0% there is no light.
The light only works if push my connector half way through and tilt the connector to trigger the light. But isn't this pointless?
turning it on while on the charger sucks i just keep pressin the power button lol and the light just blinks on when you plug the charger in it doesnt stay lit
I've found my phone won't startup unless there's a certain amount of power (this appears to be approx 10-15%), then the phone automatically restarts.
The LED charging indicator didn't work until I did the OTA upgrade. It will light up white when it's charging, but only when the phone is switched off, once it turns on, the light goes out.
So I have my Vivid plugged into my car charger right now, and the led light is blinking, one blink orange, one blink green and goes in that pattern. I've never seen this happen before and I have no notifications. Any ideas? If I unplug it the light goes away, then if I plug it back it it blinks again
Everything is just so VIVID
Well is it charging you battery at all?
It means your battery/phone is too hot. If you can get it indoors to cool down it should begin charging again. I just had this issue yesterday.
It very very VERY slowly charging. It was abnormally hot so it makes sense. It's charging just fine now on the same charger. I've just never seen that before on any of my Android phones I've had so I was a little confused lol

Hi,
After using my phone all day yesterday it went down to 15% battery so I turned it off and put it on charge using a mains charger. When I switched the plug on the LED went red and I assumed it was charging the phone.
Got up this morning and the led is still red and the phone won't switch on so I am assuming it didn't charge properly, have plugged in the usb charger and am now waiting to see if the light goes green once charged...
Any ideas why the light was red if it wasn't charging, and why it is still red this morning, does it do this when the battery is low and the phone is off?
When the phone is turned off and charging, it will be red. When the battery is enough (not full), it will boot up to a charging state.
All you will see is a battery with a green bar across it.The led will now emit, yellow/red.
Not sure what the problem was but I'm guessing this phone cannot be charged correctly with a mains charger so I will stick to using USB chargers connected to the mains, once I switched to that charger the phone started charging correctly and the led went from red to orange to say it was actually charging
It is not good to leave your phone charging overnight.

take a look at this article. I have been following these steps and even till today my iphone 4 battery operates like the day I first got the phone.
I have an HTC One. I was using it normally today, but got home and it was one percent. I plugged it up to charge and went to check a notification I had, and it turned off. It has happened before, and the charge light was on and it went straight to the screen where it shows the red battery and percent below it. This was normal - like I said, it's happened to me before. Then, it completely turned off instead of charging. A short time later, the orange charging light went off.
I plugged it up into the wall as advised a forum I was looking at for this problem, and apparently it is a common thing with these phones. I've let it charge for about an hour and it still isn't turning on and both the charge light and the red LED light have not come on at all. I tried to trick where I held it under my lamp light and held the power button and both the up and down volume buttons but it still hasn't turned on. Maybe I just haven't left it plugged up long enough?
Any advice? I use my phone a lot, so I really need it!
Note I have replaced the battery (battery worked but the unit wasn't charging which tells me bad cable.) Today I had gotten a cable after a long dry spell of not having any money to spare. Plug it in. Unit light turns green, then orange, shows charging icon, then screen blinks and shows empty battery + wall plug Icon. Then turns off.
I suspect the battery is just so dead that it isn't registering as charged. Took the unit apart to plug the charger in with the battery unplugged which caused a red light and blank screen. Plugged battery back in. Same behavior as before.
Do i just keep flicking it on whenever it turns off to hope enough charge trickles in so the internal controller perks and goes 'oh wait I need to do something'?
Edit: Turns on now but it says it's at 11% and not charging. Do i flash cyanogenmod and hope thatdoes something?
