It should be in this format MM.YY. In some cases, it could be like MM.YYYY too.
On a side track, if any of ur friends have a Captivate, I would recommend getting ur battery charged up atleast to some extent like 25% so u can fire up the phone into download mode and get started on recovering it.

is there any way I can charge my battery with this phone...i know i came to my sister's home..and they dont have samsung phones...so I have to wait 3 days to back home to chrage it

You should be able to charge it with the phone off. Just plug it in and a charging screen will appear.
If it last turned off by crashing you might need to pull the battery, put it back in, and then plug in. That's fixed mine before when it was nonresponsive to the charging cable after a bad flash attempt.

Really, I am going to try that again and again...May be I might get lucky, I have been flashing, soft bricking and doing everything on XDA since last September. but never had such problem.

A small suggestion: Next time on, pls ensure u have atleast a 60% battery, preferably 100%, when u flash. It would really help in just-in-case situations like this.
I do too flash when battery is as low as 10%, but well, I have another battery charged to atleast 75% lying around all the time

Please help!! My milestone does not turn on!

Hey there all,
yesterday, i woke up in the morning and my milestone was blanked out. Thinking, maybe the battery was at 0%, i plugged to the wall charger (connecting to computer never worked below 5% so..), i waited about a full day but it won't turn on. when i first woke up and saw the phone was dead, i tried turning it on, it BRIEFLY showed M logo then it turned off again.
after charging endlessly and having no result, i tried everything, i tried charging without sdcard, without battery to see if it will show on screen, took out battery put it again, tried bootloader, and any possible way but milestone is not responsive.
regardless of how i press power button it wont turn on at all.
Here in Canada, all stores are closed today because its Easter sunday.. I am gonna go to telus store tomorrow to check if another battery will make it work but would the battery get totally drained within less than a year!!? i didnt use my phone TOO much. I bought may 2010, and I wonder if warranty will cover this (it is 1 year) because mine is Rooted with CM6, and since phone doesnt work right now, i cant reset to stock mode.
Please input your thoughts as to how to solve this problem T_T Thank you.

Remove battery. Plugin phone to charger. You should see a battery symbol with a question mark inside. If it does, put your battery in and your battery should start charging if everything is ok with your battery.

[Q] N1 suddenly dead

Hi,
I have a rooted N1 and has suddenly dead.
The device was fully charged and powered off after half an hour.
I pulled the baterry and tried any button combinations, tried to charge even through USB. The device doesn't boot up, it doesn't start and I can't see the google logo, the charging LED doesn't lights up either.
Is my mobile bricked?
How has the modible been working for months after flashing the ROM and stop working?
Thank you.

Maybe the phone bricked... Or something in the phone broke. Try the reset combination again and try leaving it out of battery or power cable for some minutes
Hope I helped

Maybe you can try with a different battery? How old is your phone and have you had battery problems?

Hi,
The phone is roughly 4 years old and I haven't had any issue with its battery. In fact, I already have another phone and its battery lasts much less than the N1's. The battery was charged 30 minutes before the mobile dead.
I didn't know the mobile could get bricked even it works for so long time.
Thank you.

You can try to see if your battery is still alive / if your phone's display is working . I found a thread where the guy did a lot of stuff to his phone to cause the problem. I presume your phone was not subjected to any damage recently?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839431
Is your phone on by any chance and its just that the display is not working?

Thank you, I've already checked that post.
The device doesn't power on nor the charging LED lights. I haven't made any change (major nor minor) to the phone before it stopped working. No app installed in the las weeks, no SO upgrade, not a single change has been made.
Thank you again.

Only thing is try another battery like mentioned. It's electronic, sometimes it just die.

It's hard to find other guy with the same phone model. It's clera that N1 was a bad business for Google.
I tried another battery and it worked out.
What I really can't understand how people say that my phone could be bricked if it doesn't boot up and the charging LED doesn¡t light, is that possible?, how could I unbrick my phone whether I can't boot it up?
I'm sorry about my ignorance in the mobile phone's world?

[Q] [PLEASE HELP] HTC One M7 not charging when on.

Device: HTC One (M7) Stock ROM
A few days ago, my never rooted, stock firmware, no unlocked boot loader, no custom ROM, never dropped HTC One (M7)'s battery died. Plugging in the charger had no effect, absolutely NOTHING. Tried 6 different cables and 9 different locations to charge it, nothing. Waited a while, dying in desperation. Then after so much of panic, I plugged it again, and randomly it started charging. But the charging had a loop - showed a bright orange LED with the power symbol on a battery for about 5 seconds, then a dim orange LED with the green battery charging, and a number, for about 10 seconds. The loop kept repeating. Eventually I could turn it on till the (incredibly low capacity) battery could live. So I did about 10 resets to it, and the situation would not improve.
Since my phone just decided to do this to me just before a long journey of mine, I was quite upset, and eventually infuriated to the limits. I decided to take it along and try different things to it - tried, tried, cleaned the ports, searched the net, nothing.
One fine day it decided to break the loop - now it charged, but only when off.
And today again its started the loop.
And here I am, begging for some help. I'm starting to hate this device now. Please help me.. :crying:
P.S. : I played a lot of Clash of Clans on the phone - it heated up a lot. Hope the info helps (Possible corrupted overheating charge instructions of the phone,etc.)

please help i love this phone cant lose this at all

I am having the same exact problem right now. its very annoying. I have to drain the whole battery to charge it again. and its in that loop that you mentioned. plus it does not charge when you put it on charge when its on. it doesnt even have that charging light. it only charges itself if its off and if there is no battery left, i have to put it on charge by draining the whole battery by using apps and stuff and i am so pissed right now i cant find a solution to this. Did you find a solution on how to get this fixed?

I am currently having a similar problem where I can only charge my phone if off. Hopefully someone can help!

I have found a solution to this. I am really happy since i am able to use my phone again.
Let me state what exactly i was going through.
I had to use the phone till it actually turned off completely consuming the whole battery and it was very frustrating because i had to deliberately use the phone till the phone shuts down and charge it. And once it started charging, it has a weird stupid way of charging. It shows that its charging and it goes off, comes back on and shows its charging, then it goes off... When it goes off the red light goes away...then comes back on.
I've read other threads and forums about people having the same issue. Others say they're not even able to connect their phones to the computer. You all should try connecting your phone to a computer and check if its able to transfer data.
If that happens, then you're saved. Because this really worked out for me.
Now, i'm not really sure what kind of bug this is, but here's how you fix this.
If you're able to transfer data to your phone, you must browse your phone on the computer and copy a file (or a couple of files - in my case i transferred a movie folder that had a couple files in it)
And guess what..i put it on charge and started charging like normal oh my god i was happy as hell
Thanks. I hope the same works for you all, people have been saying you have to clean the charging port but not really

I'm not sure how are you NOT able to get it connected to your computer. Since i connected it to the computer, it didn't start charging but it allowed me to transfer files. And so i did. You might wanna change the cable and check if its letting you connect to your PC.
So far its working perfectly alright. I don't have a problem as such. And wait, you could install a file manager and move a couple files around. Maybe delete some files or download some files and try.
I Hope it works for everyone who's getting this problem. I know its not a hardware problem and HTC support sucks BIG time. i don't even have htc headquarters so i couldn't get it replaced, bad. but if your phone is under warranty you must get it replaced :laugh:

Hi! so you are saying that if i move some files from the computer to the phone it might get fixed? Well, i cant plug it to the computer, it just doesnt recognize the phone, if i plug it when the phone is on the pc doesnt show anything and the phone doesnt charge or anything, just like when trying to charge it with the ac charger, if i plug it with to the pc with the phone off then it shows a message that doesnt recognize the device, and the phone doesnt even charge aswell...
Right now the only fix i have found is to solve the problem of having to drain the battery in order to charge the phone, now i fixed it unticking the fastboot option in energy, now i can charge with any % but the phone must be off. Btw it gets a lot of heat while charging it this way... idk if its normal, i heard that because the aliminium case it gets more heat than normal plastic cases.
Thanks for your reply, ill try to connect the phone to the pc a few more times.

Hello guys , , I have the same problem , charging the M7 (On stock rom), I have tried many things ,roms and kernels , currently I managed to make it charge with the screen on with some conditions..
I installed SLIM ROM from their site (4.4.4) . To charge the phone with screen on I have to check "screen on while charging" (because if the screen goes off it stops charging /same thing if somebody is calling me )
To Charge my phone I just need to Reboot normally and charge it ( if you install this rom Activate the sound for the ac plug/unplug so you can know if it is charging well or not )
Eaven if i have to do these things its better then the OFF mode .
Hope It helps .

HTC M7 Only charges when it's off and the laptop can't recognize the device.
Hello, I've had this HTC M7 since last year. It's worked perfectly until a couple days ago.
The phone will not charge when it's on. It only charges when it's off. Also, my laptop won't recognize the device. I've tried with a couple different AC chargers, but no luck.
Sometimes my phone says "CAN'T CHARGE WHILE IN USB HOST MODE," and I don't know how to take it out of USB Host mode? I'm guessing this is a problem with the software. Before this happened the phone worked flawlessly.
Any help, please??!!

It can sometimes be caused by a defective usb port on the phone, does your port looks damaged? Boot your phone in safe mode and check if its doing the same thing.

I've already done that and it doesn't work.
I really don't know what the issue is? I mean this is a perfectly working unlocked HTC M7.
I've turned if off multiple times and even wiped it clean twice. I don't know what else it could be.
I mean it's been working perfectly since I got it.
But as I mentioned earlier it will only charge while the phone is off. And my laptop can't recognized it either.
It only appears and "Unknown Device."
But even when it is off it charges for a bit and then it completely stops.
Then you see the battery logo and then it starts charging again. But it repeat that same process throughout the whole time. So, it can never reach to 100%.
As I've mentioned before I've never really had this problem.
I've been looking for hours on the internet and so far nothing seems to work. There was an app I saw on to access engineer mode or something, but for some reason I can't use that app because it says that I'm missing another application.
Any thoughts??

I have the same problem, it can't charge, PC don't recognize when the phone is on android, but when i boot into recovery everything work fine (charge or data move to PC), so far i could't find any way better.

Hi,
had same problem.
Clearing system cache helped in my case.
Related cause for the trouble seem to be a couple of OTA upgrades I did recently.
(I was on a pretty old version.)
I noticed that there was something wrong while upgrading.
Even though the phone was connected to the charger while the whole upgrade process,
battery level went down...
The following procedure is your own risk!
Be careful not to choose any options that wipe all your data or factory reset your device.
This is how I cleared the system cache :
Boot into recovery (hold both volume-down and power buttons for ~30 seconds until menu shows - )
Press volume-down to choose RECOVERY and press power button.
Be patient ~60 seconds until menu appears.
Choose wipe cache partition and press power button.
Choose reboot system and press power button.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks

Please help with Battery Issue

Lately when i upgraded to 4.4.4 i noticed this annoying , disturbing problem with my battery . My moto X is stock, no root yet. First it went up and down spontaneously, like really crazy, while charging it appear to be at 65% while previously it was at 73% then i unplugged and plugged in again then it went to 73% again and didn't went fully charge, i have to turn off.
Any suggestions how to fix this ? btw i don't want to void the warranty though cause i want to return it to motorola for exchange when i get back there next summer. Many tks

Do a Full Battery Drain
Use your phone's battery till the point of phone shuting down.
Even after that try starting phone, as much times you can see the moto's boot logo.
After one point, the phone won't even show start screen, nor vibrate and may flash a green LED from its speaker.
Now connect your charger and charge your battery keeping your phone switched off, for about four hours.
And then check, how it works

Should i wipe cache partition ?

I've been having a similar problem with 4.4.4... This article helped me out http://www.androidpit.com/how-to-calibrate-the-battery-on-your-android-device but luckily I'm rooted so it was far easier to fix the problem. Good luck! Method number 2 looks promising for non-root users. Not sure about method 1 though.
