From what I've understood those icons are just your notifications - so if you start up the phone they should be in your notification bar, and you should then be able to find out what they are by checking your notifications.
If they aren't there, something weird is definitely going on.

The little car seems to come and go for no discernable reason. The little red 0 is somewhat like the charge % symbol for my battery doctor app, but clearly I have more than 0% battery life. Maybe this is a glitch in Apex Launcher?

Does the notifications appear if you start up the phone? It might be the app is somehow incompatible with the smart view feature. The car flashing in and out though makes me think something else is going on - that sounds like the phone is going in and out of car mode - which I guess might happen if it's placed in a car dock. Not sure what is making it think it's in a car dock though... some phones detect this with a magnet somewhere on the backside, so check if you're putting it near any magnets. Other models can end up going into car mode if things get caught in the USB ports... try having a look and maybe cleaning it out with a toothpick if something is stuck. You could also try just leaving the USB flap cover off.
You'll have to narrow down exactly when it happens. Only in smart view? Only when plugged in? Only when USB cover in? If you can't find any solution I'd recommend uninstalling your extra apps and see if it keeps happening, and if it doesn't reinstall one by one and see when it comes back.

Can anyone at least suggest a way i can charge the battery without it charging through the kindle? If i can power it up then I should be able to follow instructions on how to re install the OS

Okay, well if you can figure out how to bypass the port and charge the battery directly then try that. If it boots up, how is it not charging? second and last question, do you own a factory cable?
please quote me so I get the notification of your reply.

Hey, the only way I think I can charge the battery is by removing it from the device and chopping up an old USB cable and putting the two wires directly into the battery. If watched numerous videos on YouTube. And I have a factory cable I made for a different Kindle. The Kindle won't do n e thing. If I plug the normal charger in the underside of the Kindle gets warm but that's about it. No flashing lights, no charge icon on screen. Thank you for you're reply.

Xiaomi Mi A2 charging issue

I have a mi a2 and it has some problem with charging. Whenever i connect it to a charger, it charges for a second, then stops and then starts again. Because of this, i cannot charge my phone when its on. To charge it, i have to turn it OFF and then it charges VERY slowly and gets to about 80% overnight after 8-9 hrs.
I have tried charging it with different cables so its def. a phone issue.
I know its not a software issue because my phone just got the android 10 update and its still not charging.
After reading some forums, i figured out i should replace the USB port as its the most fragile part. So i bought a usb flex port from ebay and replaced the original port, but then the phone stopped charging completely.
It still kept doing the stupid charging-not charging cycle, but when powered off, it couldnt charge.
Im not sure now if I should buy battery from ebay or not because i think i got ripped with the usb port.
BTW i live in Denmark and i have imported an Indian model and there are absolutely no shops here that repair Xiaomi phones.
What should i do? Suggestions?
Edit: im not sure if this is related or not, but i started getting the problem after i tried charging the phone with a pixel fast charger
This is definitely the hardware problem.
Either your cable , voltage or power related circuits.
However, I don't think it's battery problem.
Consider your situation, I think find a electrician, or electrical engineer (who can deal with electrical board) is highly recommend.

In my MI A2 device, I've been using custom rom and whenever i plugged in my device there is no charging when phone is on so I've to switch off the phone to charge it and when i connect it to laptop it is not showing as well. I've done everything in my knowledge to remove this problem and atlast I've to roll back to stock firmware of device running on Android 10 but that problem is not gone completely. In status bar there is a permanent pop up of ''Charging connected device via USB" and when i plugged my device I've to switch it to 'This Device' from 'Controlled Device' in USB Preferences. It is not charging normally when i plugged in.
please share any answer regarding that I've done everything but can't fix it.

Question Does the OneUI 4 / Android 12 Beta have a charge-limit / battery protection feature?

Please confirm.
Thanks.
Is it 85% max?
I wish we could set it manually to something like 40% too.

Does this require a restart OR does the battery just stay at 85% despite being plugged in?
Does it switch to bypass charging?
I wonder if they've released the source-code for this.
on s21 ultra. at 14%, it shows 36m until full (85% max).

I don't understand.
Is it drawing power from the cable whilst at 85% in order to stay there? (called bypass charging)

Nope. When I unplugged phone in the morning it had dropped to 82. So seems to stop at 85 and shuts off. Maybe to only start charging again after you unplug and plug back in? Haven't tested that theory
I like the option regardless

Samsung Galazy A21 SM-A215U WONT POWER ON

I have a relative that has a A21 that all of a sudden wouldnt power up, they brought it in to the cellular provider and was told they needed a new battery.
A new battery was installed but this did not correct the issue.
Currently new battery installed, but no signs of life when pressing power button, and also no signs of life if plugged into usb charger.
Where can I start to troubleshoot. Im pretty proficient with troubleshooting as well as soldering. Is anyone out there that can help me get this going again?
All I need to get is the info off of the phone, picture, audio messages etc. there are some messages from siblings on it that have passed away, so Im doing everything I can to try to retrieve any of hte info retained on the phone.
The phone is currently mostly disassembled, I was trying to just test the power button to see if that was the issue, but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Power port pcb maybe, replace.
Check all ribbon cables, inspect and make sure they are properly installed and no bent pins.
Check battery connection. Is the battery good?
Otherwise a mobo failure may be the cause.
Did it get wet? Dropped? How did the failure start?

Ok, Is there a good resource for diagrams/schematics somewhere that I can reference? I have checked and the battery seems to be good, showing around 3.8v
It is strange because it doesnt look like it got wet at all, and it was not dropped, it's in otherwise excellent physical condition.
Just stopped turning on.
