Hi, I need urgent help.
After running my battery down to less than 5% at a friend's house, I turned my phone off, took out the dried battery and plugged a full charged one in. However I cannot get it to turn on again.
If I plug it in (with the fully charged battery), it might either flash a battery icon on the screen then turns off. Or it could start normally (shows the battery is fully charged, but doesn't recognize it is plugged in). But as soon as I unplug the cable, the phone dies.
did anyone experience this problem before? Is this a hardware problem?
thanks

Running cm7 nightly 53.
I just went to reboot the phone while the hdmi was plugged in. Screen turned off, now the whole phone won't power back on. I've pulled the battery, it won't turn on at all. It's like it just died?
Does anyone have any ideas? It's only a week old so I'm guessing cm7 has bugged?
is ur battery empty? if so, and can't boot, usually remove battery, wait a few minutes, plug in everything again, but don't switch on. after that everythig is normal.
Thanks, it was the battery. I plugged the charger in and the phone turned on. I didn't even think the battery would be dead seeing as I just saw it was at 80% when I hit reboot....
Anyway, now my battery is only lasting 3-4 hours. Before I was getting 2-3 days use out of it without charging. Now I can't leave the house without my charger. Kind of defeats the purpose of it being a mobile phone.....
Sometimes I will charge it, unplug it then unlock it, and the phone will just turn off, as it turns off I can see the battery is drained in the top right corner.
I'm going to try a stock rom again.
Edit: thanks to this post, my problem has been solved. Thanks!
So last night I went from stock motorola 2.2 to this wonderful-seeming version of CyanogenMod on my UK milestone - the install went flawlessly, but now I have a problem - my battery is not charging at ALL.
While the phone was on last night after I charged it, it was plugged in, first to my PC and then to the wall socket. In both cases, the battery indicator had a ? (question mark) on it.
I thought it might have been some weirdness with battery calibration so I left it and plugged the phone in from the wall to charge overnight. This morning, my phone was telling me to connect my charger (despite it being plugged in) and on removing the power cable, it died due to no battery power left within 10 minutes.
While plugged in from the wall, the battery indicator comes up but again just contains a ? on it. The little white light next to the power socket never lights up.
If I plug the phone in to my PC via USB then if the handset is OFF, the white light comes on and around 10 mins later it gets enough juice to boot up. The problem is that when the CM7 software starts, the little white light disappears, the phone stops charging despite the cable being present, and it then dies 2 minutes later.
I know the battery is fine because it was perfectly fine before I installed CM7.
Anyone else experienced this problem and/or know how to fix it?
One thing I did manage to do before it died was install a battery calibration app that I found on xda-developers - this told me that the battery was running at 3267 mV - any idea if that's good or bad?
(and yes, I'm using precisely the same cable/charger I was using before I put this version of CM7 on, so I know they are fine - they charge a friend's SGS with no problems)

Try plugging the phone into the wall charger, without the battery. Try and boot it up and let it boot. Once it's booted up, give it a bit and try and put the battery in and leave it to charge.
What happens if you turn off you phone and plug it in a wall charger? If the problem isn't in your battery it will charge fully.
When you phone comes up, try to disable the 1% battery steps in settings. I got a problem with it, and after disabled/enabled it worked fine for me.
Hope this helps.
On plugging it into a wall charger, the phone comes up with its special battery charging screen (i.e. a fullscreen battery level indicator) - no amount of pressing the power button seems to get it to boot properly (with or without the battery).
I'll see if I can get in and get rid of the 1% steps thing later, thanks for the suggestion

Dude, that was PERFECT.
Managed to get enough juice into the thing to get into the menu for a moment and was able to disable the 1% battery steps option - soon as I touch that tickbox, the battery indicator switches from a ? to the charging symbol and the phone starts charging. Thanks a million!
Nop dude, you are welcome
Today morning, I turn on my phone and I saw the battery is 80%, I put it in my bag. After 1h, I take my phone out and I found that my phone was very very HOT, and the battery went down to 10%! (normally my phone just drop 1-2% in idle mode)
After that, I pull out the battery and put it in agn. (I guess the phone turned on automatically, but I dint noticed bout it) After few hour, I tried to turn on my phone, and the LED showing red colour and keep blinking..I couldnt turn on my phone.
Now, I cannot recharge it when the phone is off, the LED din't blinking anymore.
I have tried to recharge my phone with charger, but it failed..I have tried to connect it to the pc too ..but it failed as well..
Anyway to fix this problem? Thanks.
Sorry for my bad english..
try get new battery maybe
I had a very similiar problem. My phone had been discharging battery in 3 hours from 100% to 1%. Once, the battery discharged completely and I wasn't able to recharge it, so I decided to buy a second battery. In my case it didn't help - the other battery was discharging exactly like the original one.
As I had a 2-year warranty, I returned my phone to the shop and guess what?
They replaced a mainboard in my phone (for free of course). Now everything is ok.

You try connect your phone to charger and charge more. Sometimes if your battery is recharged may not be detected for 5-30 minutes
So I was able flash this Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398003 with out any hitches. As soon as the power level goes down to 15% I plugged in the charger while Tab is turned on. It does not indicate that it is charging. So, I turned it off while plugged in. the battery logo comes up and says that it's at 100%.
I turned it back on, now it says it's at 12%, I turned it off and left the charger plugged in for about 5hrs. When I checked the screen the battery logo says it's at 100%. when I turned it on it was at 100% but was depleting the battery fast. I turned it back off, now the battery logo says it's charging. I left it for 30mins. and turned it back on. it's at 8% and cycles from "connect charger" to "charging". Now the tab is dead, it wont turn on. It doesn't even have enough juice for me to restore my back up.
Please, can anyone tell me how I can fix this. I would really appreciate it.

I was using this ROM for a long time and I flashed it over and over without facing any battery problems
so I would say that flashing that ROM caused a battery calibration problem, but sense you can't even charge when your tab is turned off
so I don't think this is the problem
the only thing I can think off is that you should try another charger [I read: cycles from "connect charger" to "charging"]
and yes this might happened, and if you don't have another charger, connect it to your computer for around 5 hours, that would do it
I am currently connecting my tab to the wall, waiting for it to get to 4hrs. I saw this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861229 and am following it right now I hope this works. If it still does not work, I have another charger for the exact same model I could use.
Hi everybody,
I upgraded my Xperia Z to Lollipop. Immediately after that I got the following problem in the order described:
- Phone was at 80% after upgrade.
- It was not charging after the upgrade, and I had no more connection to the phone via USB anymore. Also PC Companion did not see the phone anymore.
- The battery drained after some time so the phone went into "brick-mode" because connecting it to the pc via USB, nor connecting it to (different) wall chargers did not charged the battery.
- With the phone compeletely empty, I just left it connected one evening to my wall charger, and when I woke up the next day the phone was again completely charged to 100%.
- But no the circle starts from the front again --> no connection to PC and not able to charge the phone until it goes out completely, waiting for some hours connected to the charger, and only then it starts charging again until 100%. I also once booted the phone before it was at 100%,.. even then it will not go on to charge when the phone is on, NOR will it continue to charge when I shut it down again manually (so not let it drain to 0%).
Does anybody had/has the same issue? I think it is a waste not trying to fix this because the phone is still in a very good condition.
Any advise would be helpful, thanks, Pieter.
