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
Mustafa
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.

Can someone tell me what this flex cable is connecting?
My phone would sometimes spontanously freeze and switch off, showing the 3 red leds and just stops responding. It won't even take a charge. Usually the battery is at 60% when the phone dies, and sometimes it shows a constant RED led.
The back cover is loose (but has enough adhesive to actually stick reasonably, takes little force to open it up), so I pressed that connector with medium force. The next thing that happened, is that the phone responded to the charger, booted to the "charging state", where it shows the battery state and so on (which it shows it's approx on 60%.
Or could it be that I press something else, which causes my phone to work properly again?

Thanks/Hvala!
But do you know what could be faulty on this specific point, which causes my phone to not charge? Can I find somewhere a complete guide to the disassembly and identification of all parts? It would make it alot easier for me . My phone is running again, going strong at 65% and still discharging for the last 3 hours. I'm logging the microVolts, temperature and other stats from the battery to see if it's the battery causing the malfunction, which I doubt.
Anyway, there should be something. By the way, prior to the issues, my phone dropped flat on the screen on tiles, about 1 meter high. So most likely, there is something loose/messed up. But I don't know what causes the entire system to flash the LED 3 times, saying that the battery is drained, yet after pressing on this point, immediately start up while on the charger.

Please PM me. (you speak croatian?)
So, here's what happened.
I have a N7000 and it's charger port stopped working a semester ago. So I bought a new one and replaced it. Everything went back to normal.
Now yesterday I was using my phone and it discharged (It discharges even while charging and browsing the internet for example), but I was talking with someone and I had to get back ASAP and conclude the conversation. So I took a older battery that's stuffed and pluged it in and finished what I was doing.
The thing is, now that I connect the newer battery (3 months old, original), I get stuck on a battery logo loop. The battery icon shows up with the circle that rotates in the middle, then the screen gets brighter, flickers a little (My phone always flicker at 25%~ battery) and goes black. Then it starts again and again in a loop.
The stuffed battery still works and is charging fine, with that said, I'm sure I don't have any problems with the charging port/cables/chargers.
I believe this has happened once before but I can't remember the procedure to fix it. Does anyone?
Thank you!

It almost sounds from what your describing like the charger block (not the cable itself) is not sending enough power down the cable, I would try either a different block or even a 2 amp charger block just to make sure.
Below is my original message. Here is the answer.
For those who have recently cracked open your phone for whatever reason (Battery/Screen replacement) Here are a few tips.
When removing the Wireless Charging from the battery (Which despite some tutorials saying you need to remove the battery completely for swapping out a screen you do not need to) be VERY VERY careful removing it! When you look at the battery there is a small part at the top that sticks to the battery. This is the battery temperature sensor. If this part gets ripped (In my case it did) or if it is not connected (Which is why one phone charged and the other did and then later on after removing it phone the phone completely thinking i didn't need it and it is just getting in my way) the phone can't get a temperature reading of the battery and WILL NOT CHARGE. This was my issue.
I had left the Wireless charging parts at my office so when i got here and figured what the hell i'll toss it back in and i looked at them i saw one was ripped! So i tossed the non ripped one back in and BAM went from 0 to 100% (while off) in an hour!
So there you have it.
So,
After my OEM screen busted towards the beginning of the year I have gone though 2 aftermarket screens. So rather than spending 100 on a new screen i bought a 32GB Turbo second hand. Was in great condition.
I went and last night swapped the two screen. Also swapped the battery to see if it was any better. So I went to bed and plugged it in like normal. When I got to work (40 minutes after unplugging it) it was at like 30%. So i though damn its a dud battery. I had the other phone with me so i swapped back. When i got back to my office I plugged my phone into my turbo charger and it says its charging.
When i went to unplug it to leave i saw that the low battery notification came on. It didn't charge at all. Battery was cold, charger was cold (always get hot when charging). The other phone also charges slowly on this turbo charger (It charged fast last night on my charger at home. I have had both chargers for a long time with no issues before). Battery was 0% when i got the phone and had a 50% charge in 30 minutes. I swapped the batteries back and same thing. So right now i'm using the 32GB (It has a locked BL so can't really use it yet unless i really have to) to charge my battery, then just keep my tools on me and swap and change again. I took out the wireless charging part to have less in my way. Also if i have it plugged it it does discharge less/stay at the same %.
The only other thing I can think of is i did clean out the USB port. It was jammed pack with pocket lint. uses some tweezers and canned air to clean it.
If anyone got some insight let me know. Otherwise i'll have to wait and see if jcase can get sunshine to work on the latest 6.0.1 (Sent him an email to see if i can test it as he was asking for volunteers
So now the 32Gb as of last night will not charge either. The screen though (my old screen that was still working) cracked and it just a black screen with some random pixels that light up. When i last looked at it last night I saw that it still wouldn't charge even when turned off (stuck at 11%). It has been on for almost 12 hours and it is still on so maybe that one is charging again i dont know.
My 64GB will at least stay at its battery % as long as it is plugged into a Turbo Charger. Other chargers just slow down the discharge. I installed the App Ampere and when i plug it it is says nothing about charging and that it is just discharging. When i plug in the phone it just says Power Connected. Nothing about charging. I'll try swapping the screens and see if the 32Gb is charging. if so i'll just use that for now.

I just replaced QI charging coil my phone is now charging properly with my original 64 GB motherboard. Battery and Cpu or now registering normal temperatures.

Color me curious, but if charging becomes disabled due to an erroneous input from a sensor, does that mean there is a way to modify the programming to place a set value for the temperature or bypass that value entirely? Not as a permanent solution, but a temporary solution for a dummy like me that tore his Qi cable and can't find a new one quickly or easily. It is worth mentioning my turbo is completely factory. Or on the off hand someone might know where I can find a qi cable... yeah, I screwed up.
Similar Issue
I recently replaced the LCD/ Screen on my OG turbo and after having replaced it the phone will not charge. After searching the internet and checking the phone I am convinced that a small rip in the ribbon cable of the Qi charger is responsible, now since I don't have another whole or intact Qi I ordered the only one I could find which was from a Chinese seller on eBay. From what I can tell this should be a fairly straight forward and simple replacement to fix the issue, but I can't find any YouTube guides on this specific repair so I'm hoping that I am correctly understanding the issue and how to fix it.
I should be able to open the phone, remove the old Qi, plug in the new one, close the phone... problem fixed ? Right ?
I also have the same issue, it shows 22f and shows electricity in battery icon but says not charging in battery settings. Most probably charges in bootloader/recovery, but what is different is that my temperature sensor is perfectly fine as far as I know. Also, my speaker isn't working too. Guess I'm too bad a repairman.
Any help?
I seem to have the same problem, though I can't see any visible damage to the charging coil. The phone is charging only while in twrp, but it only charges till about 70 or 71 percent. Did anyone else have that?

Yes, and make sure you can attach it well. Either through pressure, or sticking material.

So I received the new coil and I put it in my phone. Lo and behold it works perfectly! I found a tiny crack on the old pad on one of the temperature sensor lines right in the corner where it enters in to the tab that connects to the phone. Hope this helps.
What does the battery sensor look like?
It's been two months I was investigating on the same problem... My phone was always showing -30.2°C / -22,36°F and, indeed, the sensor wire was cut off. Thank you so much!!

Hello.
Yesterday evening connected watch to charging and was around 70% of battery when started charging. Morning taken watch and it was blind. Connected to charger again and only bolt blink in battery icon. Before that was problem to get charging start and needed lot of time to find right how it started to charge. Are that watch contacts problem or charger terminal problem or something else? Cleaned contacts with cleaner. It boot up to Android Wear text and then power of or just black screen, then starts again in battery icon blinking bolt and after some time start booting again.
Best!
Sven
I had that problem, too... it became more and more difficult to charge the watch, initially I needed to reposition the charger, then some initial pressure on the charger, then constant pressure on the charger, but at the very end it was nearly impossible to charge. I also tried to clean the contacts on the watch with no success.
Luckily I bought the watch at Amazon and they exchanged the watch as the problem occured well within the first 6 months.
I assume that the internal connection to the charging contacts became broken (which would explain that initially some pressure on the charger helped) but the situation obviously got worse over time. With the replacement, I did not experience that problem anymore.
Sended to warranty, see what they say.
So like the title said i have replaced the battery in my P9, with an original battery. It has the same part number and all that. I have noticed that the phone won't charge the replacement battery, i have returned the new battery in warranty and revived another one. Same thing, the phone starts up as soon as you plug in any kind of power source to it , like a charger, but no charging notification. The notification light pulses in rare intervals (some thing of 10 secs or more) but it's not steadily on like when normally charging. And the most vexing thing is : if i replace the original battery it charges. Unfortunately the the original battery now has the bad habit of cutting out on me at random from anywhere 47% or bellow .... The phone is nearly 3 year old now.
Have you given the new batteries some time to charge? Maybe they were delivered to you fully discharged.
First one was on 85% the second on 60% or so. I kept the 1st one on charger for a whole weekend... Still nothing
Have you tried to callibrate the original battery (you say it suddenly drops if below 40%)?
Yes, I have allowed the battery to run down to 3% and the phone turning itself off. Then fully charged it while being off. So the original battery is just plain old, nearly 3y old. The problem is that the phone refuses to charge the new batteries regardless of original charge. Also it turns automatically on when you plug in a charger, not just showing the charge animation. That is not normal behavior.

I've done that after reading you'r message , but i have already done the steps not req root. And i'm not willing to root my phone.
P9 also not charging
Did you manage to find a resolution to this issues? I'm having the same problem with my P9. I changed my battery, and it now won't charge. It turns on ok, and everything seems to be working. When I plug in the charging cable, it makes the sound it usually does, the battery symbol flashes green but instantly turns white again. When the phone is off, plugging the cable in switches it on, but no charge. I've had two replacement batteries, both have the same issue. Also, the original battery is now doing the same. I'm wondering if I damaged something while removing the battery.

I think it's problem in charging IC or port.
Hi all
Had same issue with replacement battery
After replacement battery isn't charging. Problem is in bad connections
(probably from long shelf storage connectors got rusty)
Voltage was fine but temperature reading was way off (very low -2) and phone didn't charge battery
Problem is that there was no error message about battery temp.
After cleaning the contactors battery reading became normal and it started charging
Anybody ever had any solution to this problem? I have the same issue. Battery replaced - not taking any charge. If micro USB charger plugged in - the phone turns on. If it is already turned on plugging in the charger the screen flashes the % of the charge and nothing.
