Battery/Charging Issue

My tilt is giving me nothing but problems...i put it on charge last night and when i woke it was totally opposite, the battery actually went dead...it seems to be taking on no charge (using a razor charger) and the red light stays on...at one point the amber light did come on and the screen popped up and showed it as to be charging but when i click to see battery life it shows 0%...i have no idea whats going on since it had been working pretty good...Can someone help? Is it a battery, phone or charger issue?

First thing I would do is go to Amazon and grab a new battery. Never hurts to have a spare handy.

For me it helped cleaning the terminals of the batteries, with a q-tip.

tytn 2 not charging

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

Battery Issue - Unable to boot after 0%

My phone has water damage. I currently have it in a bag of rice to hopefully bring it back to life. After a few hours I plugged it in to see if that would help, and I it had a strange activity. The LED in the phone handset was lit and green. I never rooted it to enable the LED. Any advice would be great!
PS: Sorry if this post is not the most coherent. I am currently very hungover, and having problems functioning. Also, I have no idea how my phone got wet! Happy Sunday to me!

Try a battery reset
The Dirtydee Z3

The led turns on when the battery is so low that the display can't turn on to show that its charging.
Device should turn on after sometime

As @adity said above, the LED turns on when your battery is too low to turn on the screen.
Charge it for some time.

Testing that now. Thanks for the heads up!
Fingers (and toes) crossed!!

You should've let it rest on rice for like one day.
On the good side, the moto x is kind of water proof.
Sent from my XT1058 using XDA Free mobile app

*Update*
The screen is now on and showing 0% battery. It has been plugged in for hours now with no change in level. I was able to get into FastBoot, however any option I choose results in the phone rebooting back to the battery charge level screen.
Thanks for the help!

*Update 2*
I plugged my phone into my cars 2.1 amp charger and after 20min or so it showed 100% battery. The phone booted, however it did not complete and turned off. When it did It read 0% once more. I have tried volume down and power for 3 mins with no result. Any more tips?
* update 3*
I pulled the back over off and held the battery ribbon down. LIFE!! Phone displayed 100% and it was running fine. However, when I removed it from power it shut off immediately.

your battery is bad

I thought so too. I let it charge over night while it was cycling the boot screen, and when I awoke it was perfect. Battery 100% and turned on without issue. I understand letting your battery hit 0% is bad, but having it completely malfunction for 24+ hrs is rather poor play on Motorola's behalf.

How do you know that it's moto's fault?
Perhaps there was still some water left in your device?
This took longer to dry and caused the malfunction...
Don't judge so quickly!

I tell you this, because I had a motorola x with the same problem, the solution was to change the battery. Solved, try another battery

Dropping phone in water and having issues after is Moto's fault....? :silly:
I'll add... Water can and usually does wreak havoc on these things. Anything can go wrong after. Usually I'd say move on. Don't waste time or money trying to fix it.
You maybe were lucky. :good: But to suggest it's Moto's fault is crazy. Lol My X has died many times and 30 seconds on the charger and it boots. Anything you experienced was from the water.... Not a defect.

You put your phone in water, then turned it on again after only trying to dry it for a VERY short time. Bit amazing it even worked, and your complaining because it worked but only after drying?
Jesus man.

Pretty sure LIthium Ion batteries don't like going down near zero. Even when your phone says zero% and the phone automatically turns off it still isn't completely discharged.
I've let my nexus 7, and game controllers sit unused for a while. When you try to use them again they need a really long charge before they will work again.
The water probably put a load across the battery and nearly completely discharged it.

I actually just went thru this. I did the old school battery calibration using NeMa's app in the play store. Says to discharge 100%.. Phew lol. I was stressed. I had the same problems as above

Mix shut off on its own, won't power on.

Got my mix like 1 month ago. Stock miui and recently updated it to 8.5.4.0. No mods or unlocking the bootloader or anything like that.
Today, it was at 11% so I plugged it in the charger. 5 minutes in I looked at it and it wasn't charging, so I unplugged it and then it turned off before I could plug it back in.
Now it won't turn back on, the charging light won't light up. It looks dead.
I haven't dropped it or spilled any liquids on it. It wasn't exposed to extreme heat or cold and has a case around it at all times.
WTF happened? $650 down the drain?
What are some tricks I can do to try to save it.

I had a similar problem a week ago. Battery went dead and I plugged in the charger. But I discovered after an hour that it didn't charge. I tried turning on the phone, only response was a quick flashing red light. Tried different chargers, tried holding down the power button for a long time, tried the different butto combinations, no luck. Then I just left it in the charger, and after several hours I finally got a response from my beloved Mix. I took a long time to fully charge, but now it is working normally again. Phew! No idea what went wrong. But keep trying and hoping. Good luck!

To the original poster:
Has the phone powered on now? The same thing happened to me too.
My Xiaomi Mi Mix showed low battery sign so I plugged it in to charge. The phone immediately went off. I pressed the power button to restart it, it showed the Xiaomi logo then immediately went off and since then (this was 2 days ago) it has not powered on.
Kindly note the following:
1. It didnt have water spilled on it
2. It didnt fall or have any mechanical damage
The only thing was, the battery was low, I plugged it in to charge and it went off and never came on again. I have used the same charger to charge other phones so I doubt if the charger is the source of the problem.
Kindly help, what is wrong with the phone?
thanks

You could try unplugging battery overnight, watch a tare down first. It's not hard, I would be surprised if you have done any damage.

I havent tried any self repairs or anything funny yet the phone has remained dead.
What can I do now? This is extremely saddening

Mine just did this. My resolve was to hold down the volume up button and then plug the phone in. It should boot into recovery (down for bootloader) and from there reboot into system. I seems for some reason the bootloader is not allowing the phone to charge. You need to get around it.

Happened on mine in the first day. I even thought like why I bought a pos Chinese device. After 30 mins charging, it's started booting by power on button as it's supposed to be. Weird thing.

My Xiaomi Mix won't turn back on
this happened to my xiaomi mix yesterday. I was using it during dinner. Suddenly the screen wouldn't come on, flashed a bit, then shut down. I was able to hard reset it once. After that, the phone just died. and won't come back on. What do I do?
Please note: the battery was almost full. Did not drop it or get water in it.

Battery will need to be unplugged overnight, in the morning plug it back in, it won't boot or charge at this stage, leave on charge for a few hours maybe upto 12 after that it will be fine.

So I'll need to let the phone's battery die first, then full charge it again and it should work again?

No you need to disconnect it, that means removing the cover which is easy, just watch the teardown on YouTube

I think it's a charging issue, swap charger and cable.
Does pc recognise the phone

Have the same issue. During charging and watching youtube, it turned off. No signal since then.
Changed charger, tried PC... Also disconnected battery and charging for more than 24h.
Now have a new battery and USB board and no signal
Any idea how to get the data from it?
Thanks

MI 9 Heating Issue

I just bought this mi 9, i upgraded it to miui 11 latest. Now my phone always heating. It never reach below 40C, even tho i turned off a couple minutes, i touch my phone and it still hot like it's running all the time EVEN WHEN ITS OFF LMAO. Im in a normal temp of room, well its raining outside, but still flattened on 45C

Factory reset the phone.

Now the phone is dead.
chronology is,
i charged my phone while turned off because i think this heating issue is because of its software. i didn't let it fully charge because i touched my phone and it was very hot. so i turned the phone on to see the temp. it reached 70C (attachment below).
So i manage to unplug and turn off the phone. Look at the screenshot, its 30% battery right? Well i turned off the phone and put the phone on the floor to make it cool. After that i put the phone in my desk. i was curious so i touch my phone again and it still heating while turned off. i woke up at morning and check the phone, now its cold but the battery drained. So i guess the cpu maybe still running at high clock even tho i turned it off. So i tried to charge the phone, but there is no sign of life, no led notification, i tried 20s power button w and w/o vol button too.
I have no idea, i think i got a new broken device, because when i unbox it, the phone was out of battery (my first time unboxing with uncharged battery lol)

Sad to heart that...
I think you bought a faulty device.From heating up,the processor died.Contact the seller.

It can be a battery issue ... it's better for you to not use your device until you see a xiaomi customer shop. Your device can explode at any time ... It's a serious problem !!!
