Good night, my LG Gear R started to annoying me with a white battery logo when i charge the Watch
I never saw this before, anyone knows how to fix it please?
He becomes a little bit "hot" when charging, i cant even turn it on while charging
Thanks!
EDIT: FIXED, i dont know how but i let the watch to charge the whole night and hes working normal now
I've never seen that indicator before. Are you sure you are not using a new watchface or app that could causing the display to change?

Yeah, i just let the watch chargin at the baqse while i sleep and this morning he was "okay" the button wasnt working, even the touch. Just the signal flashing while charging lol
i'm not using watchfaces, i'm using the default LG watchface (i like it :laugh: )
But thanks anyway!
It is when watch is battery totally empty. Not enough battery to Power ON the watch when put in the charger, so it display only the charge symbol.

Oh, thank you for the tip!
Had the same, still dont know why
Iv had a little issue like this once when the watch was not fully empty
Also had it a few time when i put on charge and just had a little battery with lighting in a notification bubble (like the little bubble that tells you when you dont have connection looks like a cloud with a line through it)
Dont know whats going on but it charges and normally sorts itself out

Hi folks
Post no.1 so please be gentle
I have had my phone for a couple of days now and it seems that i have either a faulty handset or battery and wondered if any of you guys could help me find out which.
Basicaly,when i charge the battery either from the plug in charger or using the usb cable from my pc the progress bar only gets to about 86-87% no matter how long i have it on charge for.Then when i turn it off then on again it says the battery is at 100%.
Earlier i had it on charge for about 2 hours and when i checked it,it was at 87% so i turned it off then on again and it was 100%.
It has been like this since i got it and it is still the same after updating to latest ROM.
I'm hoping that its the battery so I can just get another one because I dont want to have to try and get another handset because most places are out of stock.
Any ideas?
Thanks

in some cases the batterie stops charging when its getting too hot (it will still display "Charging" but the Led isnt glowing anymore), but that wouldnt explain why its on 100% after a Soft Reset. Did you tried different Programs to view your Battery status?

Thanks for the reply
The only other program i have checked it on is the one that comes with the latest ROM(Batti) and this just says the same.
Even when the status is stuck(say at 85%)the lights in the circle are still indicating 'charging'.

Anyone have any ideas what this could be?
Thanks

Have you tried actually removing the battery for a minute and then replacing it?

hi!
i was just wondering, my tytn 2 is not charging, when i look at the battery meter, it says charging, but instead of going up. it goes down, the amber light
the signals charging is gone.
im sure its not the battery. coz i did get a charger, the one where u put probes on the + and - terminal of the battery, it charged. the battery is working now. however, i couldnt charge via the phone.
the red light came up before which indicates not charging so what do i do now?
someone suggested to hard reset it. i tried it but nothing. still the same. i reflashed it... nothing... now using the hyperdragon rom... still the same...
any ideas?
btw, when i plug in the charger, amber light is there... however, not for long, light turns off, but the charging / plugged into the charger symbol is there
as far as my personal experience goes, i have noticed this behavior only when the battery overheats while charging. in the hottest weather, this has NEVER happened for me. it only happens sometimes if my device screen is on WITH wifi WITH bluetooth WITH data connection WITH some heavy processing program running. this causes heating of the components and also leaves little power to charge the battery, because most of the charger's power is being redirected to power the components in use.
so, the device will charge for a few minutes and will interrupt the charging if the temperature rises. the charging will resume again when the temperature comes back down.
you can test if this is happening with your device by observing how long it charges before stopping, first without a fan and then with a fan blowing over the battery with the back cover removed.
if the charging lasts longer when the device is being cooled with a fan, then you are likely facing temperature issues.

Try to clean your battery terminals and see if that can help... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358136

Hi I have my urbane for a few years now and yesterday, it decided to stop charging. I think that it run out of battery and no it doesn't charge.
When I place it on the charger, the screen turns on with a battery icon and a bolt for about a sec and then goes back to black screen, then it turns on again. I left it on a wall plug with a big charger for about a night, but without any luck. I have checked the pins both on the charger and on the watch, but they look ok.
Any ideas?
No one? Is the urbane forum as dead as my watch and the EOL product? =P

Hi, I had a similar problem, but my watch got the LG screen in reboot loop. I bought a BL-S3 battery and replaced myself (it´s very easy BTW, look for a Youtube video) and now it´s working like a charm.

Same problem happened with my urbane. Actually the battery is not dead, the chip that regulates the battery is dead, instead. I replaced that chip and its working flawless :good:
Had it been the battery, the battery would not have suddenly stopped working, instead it would have diminished its performance slowly.
Your battery is fine, just change the chip that regulates the battery charging. You'll find it inside the battery wrap.
Mine has been acting weird.. it seems to last fine throughout the day.. but when I put it on the charger at night. it will show charging.. but i'll walk up to it at 15 or 20 %... if I take it off and put back on.. it will charge to 100 and then be fine for the day... it has done this several nights... so not sure if something wakes it and drains it at night.. or if it is the chip...
I've come across a similar problem. I left my charger at home by accident while on vaca. Currently stuck on "Power Off" shutting down. Prior to that, it wouldn't charge. Very weird.
* Edit * - Fixed issue by taking off back, detaching from board then reattaching. Seems to be like normal.

What chip? My urbane is having issues
I had a similar problem today, flashing the battery symbol, obviously it had shut down but didn't seem to want to charge
messed about with it on the charging dock and then hit the power button and and it booted, although at 1% seems to have started charging again, not sure what is going on but during typing this message it is now at 9% and seems to be charging normally or well very fast since it is now at 14%
First problem I have had with this watch

Same question here, what chip is that? just a simple voltag regulator? do you have the PN for this?

Here is a link to a fix according to some users. Have tried on my watch but I wasn't able to boot it after the this (not yet).
EDIT: I open my watch again and did the soldering process one more time. I actually a terrible job but even than i was able to bring my phone back to live.
I just had this same problem.
The watch switched between battery symbol and logo when placed in the cradle. I tried entering fastboot by swiping from top left to bottom right when the logo showed. This worked!
From the recovery menu i simply chose to "Power Off" and the watch rebooted just fine while cradled, and started charging.

Do that battery resitor change process and it should get work again, for my Urbane it did the trick, for my G Watch R I wasn´t so lucky.
I really like this post

I strongly recommend you not touch the watch itself. All is about the charger pad. The 5 pins should stick with the watch while charging but after 1 year or more using it, the pins get stuck inside the charging pad, resulting in short circuit or something like this. Therefore it is not about the watch itself or the battery but the charging pad. Try to clean the pins with wd-40 in order to make the bows underneath the pins work properly or change the charging pad with a new one.
I just got my Note 9 about 12 days ago and I'd been using an extended battery pack on it. I'd been noticing that my battery pack doesn't seem to lose power, while my phone does. I just ran a test and my phone actually shut off when it ran out of power. However, the extended battery case/pack has 4 charge indicator lights on it, all of which were still lit. Actually, correction: It has four lights on it, the last light is blinking, so maybe it's possible tat it is slowly calibrating? Just trying to make some sense on the matter.
I have the SM-N960U from T-mobile, and from what I understand, the bootloader cannot be unlocked, thus rooted. Correct me if I'm wrong on that. From past experiences, this seems to matter when trying to get extended batteries to discharge properly. Please comment. Thanks.
Edit: I'm using this case. It looks like some generic case made in China...which might explain a lot. I'm actually looking at the box right now and cannot even find a brand name.
Stating which case you're using would help. It sounds like you're just checking the battery level, not turning it on, perhaps try a long press and see if the phone starts charging.
I have a battery pack that I wanted to try with my Note 9. Once I turn on the battery pack, it begins to charge the phones battery. As I use the phone, the battery pack continues to charge the battery just as if I was using the regular charger. The battery pack begins to discharge as I use the phone, while the phone battery stays at 100%. It stayed at 100% until the battery pack ran out of juice, then the phone battery starts to discharge. It sounds like you never turned on the battery pack.

I did add text to the OP and also, I think you could be right. I just did try a long press and the lights on the battery are staying lit. For every time I unplug my phone, I have to repeat this. The lights turn off when discharged from a power source.
On a similar note, I noticed that my phone will not connect to my computer while this case is on. It works fine without. Not sure if that's a common problem w/ extended battery cases or not. I tried with and without the case activated.

Yeah the data transfer via case is a kinda premium feature it seems. These are the only battery cases that I know that support it: https://zerolemon.com/collections/samsung/products/galaxy-note-9-battery-case-5000mah-upgraded
Going to bed each night, I place my phone in the Samsung Duo wireless charger and, 3 or so hours later, it's flashing the screen randomly @ full brightness, the red charging light on the Duo is blinking rapidly and some sort of text is popping up on the screen but doesn't stay long enough for my sleep weary eyes to be able to read.
Honestly, it's flickering like lightning!
Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on & how to stop it? My dog is petrified of storms and, every night, he's thinking there's a lightning storm headed in and shaking jn terror. Somethings gotta give and the wife is attached to the dog, so I figure have to solve the weirdness with the screen flashing...
Any help is appreciated!

I finally figured it out. Don't know exactly where I found the setting or the forum I found the fix in, but it was a setting that had to be turned off for full battery notification. Once I turned it off, the issue stopped

It was insane! Woke both my wife & I on multiple occasions. And drove my dog to insane levels of anxiety. He was sure it was lightning and acted accordingly.
Glad I got it fixed. Really a useless function
