[SOLVED] OFFICIAL & UNOFFICIAL batteries don't charge and question mark

Hi all,
First of all, sorry if someone talks about it earlier, I red about 10 pages in Development & this topic and found just NOTHING about it, or no solution.
I bought two batteries for my Milestone, a genuine and a compatible. Both aren't working. My phone power on with them in (sorry I think this isn't English lol) but it can't charge them (no LED, and no effective battery charging !). What's more, I have question mark in the battery icon !
I tried almost everything including trying EACH famous ROM (batteries is just working with a MIUI-based on ROM and I hate this one a lot (very slow) and I'm an iOS-like hater) and (except MIUI) it doesn't work !
Even with CM(6&7&9), the FroyoMod 2.9.3, HO!NO!Mod7.2.0RC0 ! What's the problem ?
If you have any proposal or solution, do not hesitate to tell me !
Thank you all !

Sounds to me like your USB port may have bit the dust...If you have to keep the phone, I'd say buy an external charger off of ebay, they're pretty cheap. For 15 USD you can probably get a charger + 2 generic batteries, which isn't too bad!

Sorry but you're wrong. I said (and this is a fact) that i can charge my genuine battery with MIUI. So no problem with USB.
Moreover, I still have my first battery fully working and charging with ANY ROM and have no question mark ! But that, you can't imagine it sorry :/
(I don't really control the English therefore you should not be vexed by my answer)
But thank you very much for your proposal. I try to explain better :
Note that I still have the first battery and it is fully working (charging with anything but have some draining issue)
I bought two batteries, one genuine and one compatible. Unhappily the compatible one die (I left it in my phone till empty..).
The fact is, except on MIUI ROM, I CAN'T charge the battery and the battery icon is... a question mark. Had someone the same issue and solved it ? If yes, please give me the trick. If not, you're guys like me, you can propose all of your ideas obviously.
Sorry for bad English

The genuine battery (the one you bought recently) won't charge? By genuine you mean original motorola? But the original one that came with phone is working properly? And the battery you bought recently, the one that is not original motorola, died because it drained it iself and now does not charge anymore?

OK. The (sold as by a famous french shop (FNAC)) genuine battery which I bought recently won't charge except on MIUI and always show a question mark (except on MIUI obviously). Sold as an official Motorola battery, that's genuine for me.
Yes the original one coming with the phone is working properly And the compatible one bought recently isn't an original (not sold as but looks pretty much the same as an original) and died because it drained it iself (because used in the phone) and now does not charge anymore.
Sorry if there are misunderstandings :/ (because of my misformulated English)!

I belive it is safe to assume that those new batteries are defective. You have one (phone's original) that is working flawlessly while new ones fail.

It is because of the implementation of one percent battery steps. if you are using cm , try disabling them. It is working fine with miui because it does have it implemented

I disagree. It works on MIUI, so they aren't defective It was obviously relevant to the ROM and no to the battery !

EDIT : It works with the compatible one, thank you again ! Now, I've three batteries... Too much ^^

[SOLVED] Battery Problem or Short Circuit?

good day fellow xda members, i just need advice regarding my note..
Situation:
1. The phone screen flickers and shuts down when using WIFI and listening to MUSIC at the same time.
2. If I use the phone for MUSIC ONLY, the phone doesn't turn off.
3, If I connect the phone to a wall charger, it doesn't turn off..
4.If I turn the phone on, the battery percentage is almost the same before it turned off.
additional info: the phone is 1 year old. and i reflashed it to FULL STOCK
My question now, is this a simple battery problem where i only need to replace the battery? Or the phone is short circuit? AFAIK. short circuit happens when the phone is submerged to water.
I'm asking this question because one store here sells genuine battery BUT they don't offer warranty... sick right??
any comment or suggestion??
UPDATE:: I recently got a new battery, its a genuine 2500 mah battery from Samsung and it costs around 1690 in Philippine peso or around $40 in USD....
and it magically cured all problems..
if you found this thread after google searching, I'm glad to help...

Hi, why did you mentioned water problem, did your phone came in contact with water. If so or if you think your phone got any humidity, try to remove it. There are some posts how to do it. 2. Try with another battery (your friends), see the problems remain or solved. 3. Try a good GB rom, stock or custom (before you buy a new battery).

thanks for posting.... and happy holidays man...

+1 for trying a new battery. Ask sorts of problems charging, dying, etc, was exactly one year old and only very slight bulge (have you checked yours?) And replacing with Anker 2700 mah from Amazon cured all.

How strange is this ... so Basically the stock battery that Samsung sells does not last more than a year ???
a lot of users who purchased it more than a year ago are having the same flickering issue ... that is sad.. Bad SAMSUNG

[Q] [Problem] Screen "twinkle" and shut down

Hi guys,
First of all sorry if my english hurts your eyes
I am having an issue, but it did not look like the same as I saw about other people.
I recently installed the german version of JB on my Note. After some days, my screen started to "twinkle" or "flickering" (I don't really understand the difference between these 2 words). And my Note becomes hot. There is kind of battery drain too. Sometimes it shut down and I have to reboot it.
The fact is that I have bought my Note 6 months ago (new one), and I bought a second battery. When one is empty I got the official Samsung charger to charge it while the other one is charging with the phone.
My 2 batteries are relativily new. When I see that changing the battery is the solution, I dont see it can be applied for me. I tried to change kernel/rom/radio with clean flashes, the situation remain the same.
Do you have any idea where the problem could come from?
Thank you,
Jonathan

if you still have warranty, consult samsung service..
might be a hardware faulty as you've stated that you already tried different flashes (roms. etc)

i have this problem on a low bttery
when my battery is low when i am playing and the device is a little warm then critical battery kick in then i see some light defference as if you see wide lines of low light and other of a brighter one ,,, some times this does appear while i am surfing internet using opera mobile , always the problem is while battery low ,,, ? is this an issue with the device or what ?

Not entirely sure but it could be a problem with the digitizer. If you still have warranty it would be a good idea to get it checked.

Have read somewhere that it might be a symptom of battery trouble. Early stage. Try searching xda for symptoms of battery trouble

okay i will make sure about the battery
i already ordered this battery with charger and external back cover ,,, still waiting for it to arrive actually ( maybe two more weeks ) ,,
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...GT-N7000-5200mAh-Free-shipping/550529166.html
also i am using battery widget pro for making sure about my battery real mAh values ( how can i make my self so sure about the battery problem ?? ) and what should i do to correctly calibrate my battery on this program ? ,, right now using xxlsb rooted with philz kernel and sometimes i underclock it to 1 ghz for more battery time
EDIT : i did a small charge cycle ( 50% ==> 2% ==> 100% ) And I was really shocked !!!! estimated battery mAh was at a mere 1368mah ( samsung's stock 2500mah ) ,,, wow really low , almost half the battery
I think i am gonna try to cycle it for 2 more times until i settle the number ( min 3170mv = 2% , max 4211mv = 100% )

New Battery - What procedures to be done?

Hey guys! So I am having now turning 3 years old Xiaomi Mi3. It is still working pretty good with all these roms we've got credit to the great developers we have at XDA. The only problem I'm having is with the battery life. Previously it would last whole day. Now I'm charging it thrice daily.
So I ordered a new battery and replaced it.
The problem is at around 20 % of the battery, the phone died suddenly and when I put it in charging it flashed the notification light as if the battery is completely drained. Mind it that after replacement, I straight away charged the battery to 100% and then calibrated using battery calibration app by Nema.
After the phone died, I put it in offline charging and didn't reboot the phone until it was totally charged and then rebooted. It is now working fine!
The battery is holding better than what I was having but still, it goes down easily.
I am a heavy user! Lots of browsing, ebooks, emails, whatsapp, camera, etc.
Is anything else needed to be done.?
I am currently on second battery cycle of the new battery. Right now I got 2 hours 10 min SOT and 45% still left.
I am pretty sure, even this is not going to last the whole day as it used to do once back when the phone was new!
BTW am on NOS and it is pretty stable and generally always on 3g.
Please advise!

If you got the battery from official service center only then expect it to work as it used to do when the phone was new. Batteries from eBay, amazon and other websites won't give backup as the original one does because they aren't original ones, typically such batteries have 60% backup when compared to original one.

The thing is that the service center guy tells me that they have stopped importing parts of Xiaomi Mi3. I tried it in another center, they told me that it will cost 1500Rs for the battery and 600Rs for installation and service charges.
So I got it from ebay at 300Rs and replaced myself.
Probably you are right and this won't be giving any improvement to me! I just gave it a try so that I can wait for a month or so for newer phone launches. But I guess I have to rely more on charger than on battery

got a new battery for 300₹ from ebay..replaced it myself..3 yrs is more than enough from a single battery..battery backup ki great..m getting around 4.5-5hrs of SOT..probably which i was getting when i bought this phone..currently on DU. i am on wifi almost all the time.

Can you post a link?Does the device shut off at 20% battery?
Also can you check the battery temperature while charging?The one I bought from ebay never goes above 25.

New battery recommendation.

Hi there!
I've recently changed the battery on my P20 Pro. Unfortunately the only battery I could find was a non-original one.
It seemed to work ok at the beginning but then I realized that when the phone reaches the 50% mark, the battery drains to 4% in a few minutes. So it makes me wonder if the battery is faulty or if it even has the 4000mha needed.
Is it possible to solve this issue trough software or do I need to get a better battery?
If the issue is the battery it self, which one do you recommend to buy?
Thanks in advance.

No one?

I have the same problem , how did you get on ? A local phone shop will happily change the battery but I need to try and source one of sensible quality .....

But why to buy a replacement when you can change at Huawei service for good price. In my country it costs 99PLN which stands for like 20 bucks? And you get original battery + replacement service included on-site. You give a phone away for 2-3 hours and get with new battery.

hi, i bougth second hand p20 pro, person whom i bougth said that he had replaced battery with new one 2 days ago. Probably he even didn't charged it because he powered down the phone and send it to me, after it delivered to me i can not power on the phone. i plugged it to charger but it blinking red light. i charged it about 24 hours but nothing changed. the battery never got charged. it is always cold during the charge. He told me to before he were sent it to me phone was ok. so he refused to get it back. What can i do to turning it to life back before giving it to a service. should i buy a new battery and replace it ?
