I'm getting a red x in my battery icon everytime I try to charge. Seems like it thinks its being charged off usb power. However I have it plugged into the 2a wall plug. Also charging it while its off seems to be taking entirely too long to charge... I tried factory resets and odin, still the same. Has anybody ever experienced this problem?
Turned out it was a faulty power supply. I got a new one and everything is fine.

Hi, i have a big problem with my droid 4. I have tried plugging it into 2 different chargers, and it says its charging on the lock screen, but in the battery setting it says its discharging, even when plugged in. The droid also got HOT when it was connected to the charger for a while
What the heck could be wrong
are they moto chargers? could be battery, app
is phone rooted, romed?

nevermind, it charges normally again after leaving it on the charger overnight. not sure what happened but im glad its fixed.
My daughter has the Droid 4, that is completely stock without root, and is having this problem right now. At first I thought the usb port was loose, and it was losing connection while charging. It says it's charging, but doesn't go above certain pecentages. It's all random each time it's plugged in. At first it wouldn't go above 5%, until I used the jumper method.
After I got it past 5%, I turned it on, let it charge by USB for a couple hours, and it wouldn't go past 20%. So I unplugged it, and let it go for a couple days without messing with it. I turned it back on, plugged it in, says it was at 5% again, and let it charge overnight. I got up the next day, it wouldn't even turn on, because it didn't charge at all, and discharged below 5%. Jumpered it again, this time for about 10 minutes, and got it to 60%. The battery never even got warm to the touch either time I jumpered it. I plugged it in today without turning it on, it goes to the phone off charging cylcle like it's supposed to, says it's still at 60%, but the charging animation doesn't show the battery filling up all the way, and then dropping back to 60%. The animation only goes about 5% further, and back to 60%.
This is her second Droid 4, and the first one did this too. I am hoping maybe it's something to do with the Stock ROM, and when JellyBean comes out, it will fix the issue.
The update finally came out for my daughter's Droid 4, and the update went smooth. I was able to keep it at 60% by only turning it on to check for the update. It dropped to 50% while updating.
Still having problems charging while on, or off. While on, it shows it's charging on the battery icon, and it also shows that it's charging in the battery status in settings. While off, it shows the battery charging animation as before. Once in a while it will take a bit of a charge, but not very much. I left it plugged in all night, and woke up to a completely dead phone that would not react to anything, because it's actually discharging while it says it's charging. I had to jumpstart it, let it go for 10 minutes, and it only took a 15% charge. Let it set for a while, and charged it again for a few hours, just to have it stay at 10% the whole time.
I removed everything that didn't come pre-installed, thinking maybe something was running in the background. That had no effect on it at all. Everything to do with data, wifi, and stuff that draws power has all been turned off. While off nothing should be drawing power, and it's still discharging while it says it's charging.
The chage port is a little loose, but the way I set it down the connection stays solid the whole time it's plugged in. I'm figuring something in the hardware is borked, or the battery is toast.
Any ideas anyone?
have you tried a different charger?
if so
i would do a factory reset
you may want to backup contacts, texts, call log… whatever data you want to keep
data on external sd card will be safe, but data on internal storage could get wiped
best to connect to a pc and copy everything on internal storage
pictures are in dcim/camera on internal &/or external sd card
more info on wiping data in my list

I have tried many chargers, and cables. Stock, Samsung, Duracell, and an old Motorola data/charge cable that needed an adapter. They were all doing the same thing.
I did a complete factory reset, and let it wipe all the internal data. It went back to 4.1.2, but it didn't fix the problem.
I messed with it some more afterwards, and threw the Motorola data/charge cable for my old RAZR V9X on it with the same results. Then I got to thinking, maybe it is a loose port, it's just getting enough contact to say it's charging, and not enough to actually charge the battery. I added some weight to the cable to keep constant, not too much, tension on the cable, and it started charging. Left it overnight, and it finally took a full charge.
Off to Cell Phone Repair Shop, it goes.

My Droid gets VERY VERY hot at times, my phone gets VERY slow and the same thing happens... it doesn't charge up (or takes absolutely forever to charge).
I have a widget called Battery Plus and you can see what uses the most battery and Google Plus is ALWAYS the culprit. I never use G+ (except to backup photos), but every time I go in and see what is using all my battery, its always G+. Its says taht G+ also downloads quite a bit of information onto my phone. Yesterday 10mb, today 2.5mb's or data. What is G+ doing??????
Hello:
I recently got a use Bionic with a cracked screen, no battery, and no sim card. I replaced the screen and bought a non-oem extended battery with cover. When I got everything and fixed it, the phone worked for 3 days. During this time I did a factory reset plus cache wipe then updated everything to latest software and firmware. I had it plugged into my computer to charge over night but on the third day after being plugged in to the computer to charge, I tried to turn on the phone and the white light started blinking at me. I had a wall charger that I use for my Samsung Galaxy Precedent (current using phone) to charge it over night again but all I would get is the Motorola M logo and a then the battery charge status. I search some forums and some one said that my battery was bad so I got an OEM extended battery and an OEM wall charger with dock station. So at this point, the only thing I can access is the recovery screen but that only happens when it is pugged into the wall charger but when I hit the power button I get the Motorola M logo and the battery status which say 5%. Once the screen goes dark again I hit the power button and the battery says 100%. But once I unplug it, I get nothing. Not even the recovery screen. When I plug it into my computer I get the white light again but this time it stays solid. It still will not power up, or even access the recovery screen while plugged into the computer as well. Any suggestion on what might be wrong and what I might do to fix it? Please help someone!
I left my phone to charge via USB pc port. When I woke up, the screen was showing me the Bootlogo (Unlocked bootloader warning bla bla bla). So I disconnected the X and tried to reboot it and now it won't "wake up". Not even to fastboot. I tried all the keys combinations, for short and long time pressed. Nothing. When I connect it to my computer and hold the power button, the green LED blinks once and the computer makes the "Device connected sound" but after a few seconds, the disconnected device sound kicks in. Did this happen to someone? Did my battery died? Or my entirely phone did? Thank you.
Try a different USB cable, microusb connector or port might be worn out.

I have the same problem
If I keep the charger connected to the phone, it stays on and the load to 100%. If I disconnect the charger, it is instantly turned off, as if it had no battery connected inside.
More than a month ago I have this problem and can not find any solution.
Anyone know anything? He could solve this problem?

Nope. Sigo igual :/
For those interested, having the same problem:
It turned out to be the battery. I tried different cables and chargers before (Original and generic) and nothing. But today I tried (As a last resource) on of those crappy multi-pin usb cable (http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAwMFgxMDAw/z/lWoAAOSwyQtVuK4e/$_35.JPG) with an old Sony-Ericsson wall adapter (http://www.mobilemonsters.lv/images/charger_sony_ericsson_ep-800.jpg) and the screen turned on to the battery with the 0%. Waited a couple minutes and the phone booted normally.

850mA is max recommended for revivivng Moto X from deep discharge. I'm using 700mA charger from LG
Thanks in advance for anyone's advice and or help... My Moto X is stock/unrooted. When I plug it in to charge (yes with the original charger) l noticed the lightning bolt icon does not come on. However, it would originally still charge. Now when I plug it in, no lightning bolt, no charge. To charge it I have to reboot without being plugged in and then plug it in after reboot is complete. If I unplug it and plug it right back in... No charge. I would have to reboot. Here is the kicker... I did a full blown factory reset. And it did not fix anything. One would think it is a hardware issue... But if so why does it charge every time without fail after I reboot??? That sounds like a software issue right??
I am perplexed to say the least. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue. Also if I reboot with the power cord plugged in I get caught in this restart loop where is shows the boot image and shows its charging... Please down and repeats?? I need help!!!
Thanks!!!

Try with a different charger and cable.It's very long to explain, but it's probably related to the battery protection kicking in. I would put my money on defective charger, but not entirely.
