When I purchases the phone I let the battery go dead before the initial charge. Then when I charged it didn't get charged only the red light was on. Then I tried switching on the phone and optimised charging. Then it worked. I'm wondering whether its like that for anyone else?
The red light being on means that the battery is charging. All is normal.

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've let it charge for maybe like 3-4 hours, assuming its fully charged, and when I turn it on it's almost there (maybe around 95%). So I'm just wondering when you charge the phone while it's off does the LED light flash green when it's fully charged.
Also can someone tell me what it means when you see the red, blinking light while the phone is off and charging.
Mine glows green constantly when fully charged. When it flashes red while it is off or on, it's from overheating in all instances I've seen and experienced.
Just happened after nowhere. I got my hands on a z1 from a friend with a fully charged battery. Since I didnt have a simcard on the phone I turned it off. Now it wont turn on and the the red light in blinking when charging. Looks like a discharged battery but i dont know what to do. It's plugged on a 2A charger for about half an hour now but there's no sign of life. is there anything I can do?
PS: the bootloader is locked and I didnt messed with the system in anyway, it's was just factory reset

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use the official charger (that is 1.5A) and report back..
Else try to send it to service
Left it charging the whole night but still just the blinking red led. Since it's not on warranty anymore I don't think it's worth sending it to service. I'll penalty try to reconnect the battery to see if it helps
@Castro27 Try flashing the stock firmware via flashtool its very easy and it will bring life to your phone...
I have a strange problem. My Z1 was in the original dock charger over the night. The alarm woke me up in the morning and the battery was 100% full. An hour later it did not switch on. I have tried to put it to a original USB charger and a red light is flashing fast and continuously. I have tried to press power+vol down key and nothing happens. Is my battery dead? I don't mean fully discharged, but dead.
Running stock 5.1.1 on my 64gb. Was curious as when charging, it will say its charged and battery indicator only showing 99%. Does anyone else have this issue? Noob question here just never really noticed this till today
Unplug it from charger, wait a few moments. Then plug into charger. It should reach 100%.
If that doesn't work, try turning the device completely off, plug that sucker in and let it charge up.
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?
