Phone not charging - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone is not charging with any charger. It doesn't show charging icon and it's not even detected by the PC. The computer detects the phone in fastboot mode but it still doesn't show 'charging'. The only way I could get it charged is by opening up the phone and directly charging the battery via the the +ve and -ve on the USB cable. Please help me out here.

Your device is a Motorola Device right ? Because Motorola Devices have their batteries internal . I suppose you're in the wrong Forum

I have had this problem all you need to do is hold volume down and power button go into bootloader keep it in there plug it into a computer with usb and it should say charging then just keep it in there for awhile and then it volume down and select normal power power on and hit volume up

Button ROM reads wrong battery power.

Hi,
I want to update my ROM from a standard WM5 to WM5SE rev 5.0. Following instructions, I downgraded with the button ROM to let me CID unlock my G3 Jammin. The butotn ROM installed, but when it reset it would not boot and both the red and blue lights would flash together, the screen would flash on, and then it would shut off.
This pattern is repeated every couple of second and doesn't stop until I pull the USB cable out, after which it repeats once more then switches off. I can't turn the phone back on with the power button. From here I can get back into the locked cycle by powering on with the USB cable plugged in (back into reset cycle), or into windows with the mains power cable (see below).
I think this means that the problem is related to my USB cable being plugged in. When I put the mains power cable in, the PDA will boot into windows. Related to this is what I think may be the main culprit. In setting, Windows says the battery is on 0%!!! Even the mains power cable doesn't seem to ever charge it, so I think it must be a software problem related to the ROM. Inceidentally, I recall that I had to softreset near the end of Button ROM's install, perhaps this is part of the problem...
Now I can reinsert the USB cable only during the Windows boot process, which as mentioned has to be initiated with the mains power cord, ie. I swap over half way through. If I change from mains power to USB after Windows has fully booted then the phone resets and the above reseting cycle occurs again.
Once Windows is fully booted with the USB cable in everything is stable and Activesync detects the phone. The problem is that when I try to reinstall a stable ROM, the update software throws the following error: Error [220] mains battery power. So the software I believe is reading that the battery is less than 50% (ie. probabaly thinks there is 0 charge left) and I can't reinstall a new ROM!!
The other thing to note is that I can get into bootloader mode with the mains power cable, but as soon as I try to switch over to the USB cable, the phone resets and it again gets locked into the perpetual reset cycle.
Please help me!! Any ideas are appreciated.
Gavin.
Hi,
Found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1216580&postcount=23
Seems like a similar problem. He solved it by replacing the battery. Is it possbile to destroy a battery while flashing a ROM?

Wow 40 views, and not a single idea?
Well I think I'm going to invest in a cradle, so that I can have both mains power and a usb connection, hopefully I'll be able to reflash with this. Anyone have expereince with this method? What is a good cradle?

TyTN II power on by itself after charging

Hi all!! I just want to ask about a charging issue with my Kaizer.. Every time the device is charged and then i unplug the power cord the device is power on by itself without pushing the power button... i usually charge it during the night for about 10 hours... is it normal??Does anyone faced the same issue??
Thanks in advance!!
I found that my device will wake up if I have it charging and it is turned off and I unplug the charger/usb cable from the wall/my computer while still having the connecter plugged into the device. However, if I unplug the usb connector before I unplug the charger/usb cable from the wall/computer, the device stays off. Is this what you mean?

Hi and thank you for your answer! No actually i do not connect the device with my pc.. i mean that after the charge is finished (the device was charging completely shut down not in stand by mode) and unplug the wall socket the device is booting without pressing the power button...

[SOLUTION] Get rid of "BSOD of the USB cable plug-in" on Official ICS Based kernels

If your p990 don't wakeup when plug-in usb cable;
Do not press the power button. (Important)
Unplug the usb cable.
Press the power button 5 times quickly.
Get dmesg and catlog and post kernel's thread.
It's working for me.
My phone freezes only if I first connect cable and then plug charger in. When I first plug charger into power plug and then connect the phone BSOD never happens.

Well you got an awesome Wall to provide electric power...

Sorry my mistake. I do not speak English very well but I thought that is important to tell people here what I find, because I have rechecked this many times and it is proved (on my phone at least).

Any way to turn the phone on without buttons?

Ok, so I don't have buttons and USB debugging was off. Battery was drained, the phone turned off and now I don't know how to turn it back on. Is there any way through command line?
Put the phone on charge let the battery have some charge in it.
if any case volume down button is working then you can start your device by connecting usb to your device first and then holding down volume button and then connect usb cable to PC (your PC must need adb drivers installed if not then install it first)
test point method should also help but i am not sure though.
I charged the battery but the phone didn't turn on the OS, I can see the battery level only.
Uhm... I don't have buttons at all. I mean physically. They're gone because I broke the buttons' tape [emoji23]

I'm in a messy situation. im scared.

Recently i got my Honor 9 lite and in a few weeks i managed to install openkirin Resurrection remix. all was good till i decided that i was having ram issues so i then found out about project treble.
This is where the original problem started I used the ARM A Decendent rom and i flashed it to a bootloop. whenever i tried to go back to stock or RR i'd have the same thing. i've tried many things but eventually i made a batch file to erase and reflash all of the stock software.
now i made some typos and the kernal didn't flash. now im stuck with a brick that wont turn on. im ****ting myself. im very scared and i desperately need help. im a ****ing idiot.
Atleast when i plug it in my computer detects it as "USB Ser"
UPDATE: i installed some kind of driver on my PC. it now shows up as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0 (COM 7)"
I'm actively looking for board software to fix this issue. if you are able to obtain it. DM me on telegram: @AmethystLegit
Its for a LLD-L31
+ I cant get into fastboot
Ok power the phone off fully so whilst it is plugged in your computer press and hold the power button till USB item is removed from the device manager now press volume up and plug the USB cable into a charger see if it will boot into recovery mode from there, then download the firmware from that area.

Hmm. i've held the button down but it only restarts. i've had it plugged in for awhile now and windows made a disconnect sound a few times. it hasn't unplugged itself. maybe ill check the device manager once thats happened again. and then ill hold vol up

It literally just happened. the item is still there. i guess we could run it out of battery
That could be one way or press and hold the power button for 10 seconds whilst disconnected from USB and hold the volume up button then plug the USB in while it's connected to a charger, the only pins needed is the power pins not data pins. volume up trick doesn't work whilst data pins are working I.E connected to PC you must use a phone charger.

Assuming the cable that came with the phone is a phone charger and not data. its not working. i dont think i have any of such around. ill try running the battery out.
meanwhile im now actively looking for board firmware to try a different method but i've gotten nowhere
The cable with the phone also has the data pins, else how would you transfer your files, please try using the Charger and Volume method like i suggested.
