I changed my phone's battery and other than the annoying stickers it went well, i wanted to test the battery and connected the phone, the led at the top turns on as if its charging but I'm not getting the charging screen, my concern is that i messed up the display cable or something what do you guys think.
I really don't want to get a new phone, all things considered I'm quite happy with this one.
Edit: Also when i try to turn on while connected the screen turns lighter as if its going to turn on but then just goes dark and I have to connect and reconnect the battery again for it to charge, is my phone dead or perhaps the problem is the new battery?

Does this mean my battery is dead? I pulled it out of my briefcase this morning, and it wouldn't turn on. I plugged it in to the wall and it powered up and sync'ed up (at least my data is backed-up), I left it plugged in so it could charge and when I came back to it, it was dead, just a red LED on the right side, and thats it. I've removed the battery and reinserted, which didn't do anything. Do I need a new battery?
Thanks for any info,
Brock
HELP TOO
I am getting a similar thing and I bought it used about two nights ago. Mine occasionally turns on, but 'bombs' out again if used too long
your pocket pc out of battery, charge it again till full......
I too have started having this problem since the weekend! My phone constantly shows the red light whenever on charge with cradle or direct from wall!!!!
Help please!
the red light used to show that the battery are low, you got message or got miss call.... try to check all that first or try to soft reset once....
Thats the problem though, the battery has run flat and whenever I put it onto the cradle to recharge the red light just comes on. If I put the battery directly into the cradle the red light comes on the front of the cradle. This is happening with both of batteries.
Last time the battery on my phone went flat enough for the red light to come on it took 48 hours constant charging before it started to work again...
Maybe your phone has a short in the charging circuit, the battery or the part of the PCB where the battery connections meet the main circuit?
I had this problem with mine.
i left the battery out for about 24hrs..
then put battery back in and left phone to charge for 24hrs..
it then turned on and has been fine since
this things happened when the backup battery is completly dead or dischargd i used to have this problem but i opened the xda2i and recharge the backup battery "ofcourse i took it out "and it has no problem since only that the battery metter is working weird so the problem is that ur backup battery is completly discharge
how to fix this easier just let the xda in the craddle 24 hours with the main battery on it should work unless is blocked the u need to take the + from the backup battery out and put it back on after a few mins and that's it u got ur xda2i working again!!
Hiya,
about an hour ago I plugged my nearly dead Kaiser to the standart charger and connected it using bluetooth to my notebook. I was very surprised to hear the "Batter is very low" sound a few minutes later. I checked the screen and noticed that the display read "Charging" no more. Blink - and it's stone dead. I replugged the charger and started the device again. Batter was at 1% and began charging. As soon as it hit 15% of battery life, it stopped charging again, although "Recharging state: Charging" status remained. I switched to USB charger to see if it makes any difference - and it did. It started discharging the battery! Now it's plugged back in the standart charger again and it reads 14% for several minutes now. It looks more like it's "holding it there" than charging.
I tried two different USB cabels, the "wall" charger (English is really not my native language, I don't know the proper word - sorry) and no luck.
Three or four soft resets, pulling out and returning the battery, nothing running in the background - just Phone, Data Connection and Internet Sharing. I'm using unmodified radio and Sleuth 3.0 ROM.
P.S. It looks to me that the battery is discharging much more faster than I was used to. As soon as I pull the charger out, the battery drops two or three percent.
Any ideas? I'm afraid my Kaiser / battery is dead.
EDIT: The battery is warm and I can see the "charging" icon in the kaiser's taskbar

About the charging LED, usually yellow, turned to red? Just to clarify better your situation for all members here.
When the charger is disconnected, it flashes green, when I plug in the charger, it turns orange.
No RED led. That is a very good thing.
Do you don't have any spare battery already or maybe a friend will have one?
Looks like a fault battery - are you using it since when?
I bought this Kaiser about a month ago, but it's not new. The previous owner bought it in November, last year. The battery was healthy until today.
This sounds like a battery issue to me also. These are classic signs of a dying battery. The good news is that the phone is still trying to charge it.
Just as an experiment I took out my battery and put it on a multimeter. At 94% charged (when I took it out) it showed 4.09 volts and 1240mAh. I've had my tilt for 3.5 months now.
Try a hard reset could fix a program gliche if you have one..but it does sound like you have a "croaking battery"
ME TOO--
Was tempted to start a new thread, but figured someone might still read this one.
Last night my Tilt was fine,
and today I noticed that it was incredibly warm/hot to touch. After being plugged in and charging normally for a while, I looked back and noticed that the charging icon was not displaying anymore--just the normal battery icon.
This began last night as well, whenever my battery would hit 100% it would stop displaying the charging icon and return to the battery icon. I would then unplug it and plug it back in and it would go back to normal.
As of right now, it goes back and forth between refusing to show me the charging icon and showing me the charging icon. The light is yellow/orange.
Does this probably mean my battery is dying? Even when the charge icon refuses to show up, when I plug in the charger the backlight switches to the external power profile level of brightness.
It really came out of nowhere. I'm hoping it's some fluke that came out of nowhere, or that some strange registry key that decides it's going to jack up my hardware temperature, drain my battery, and not want to be plugged in anymore got changed.
It's about 2 months old, and I'd be really disappointed if the battery was already croaking.
O wise sages of xda-dev, please enlighten me. The thing charges really slowly now.
is there a way to remove that notification that pops up once the battery is full?
thanks
You mean the one that lights up the screen to more quickly drain the battery when you are trying to get the last few minutes out of your battery? Yeah, there's no way to turn that off.
Not yet but it has been brought up and I'm sure someone is working on it because of the way the phone shuts down certain features when the battery gets low (camera, etc).
the vibrant forums have something like this but i think it still turns on the screen but no sounds or messages...don't know if we,captivates, can use it
Yeah this is kind of annoying I leave my phone on the charger until I am ready to head out for the day. I guess I'll just plug it in when I see it's getting low instead. Hard habit to break
the phone turned off today after the screen started to flicker.
I noticed the battery was also flat.
ever since then it will not turn on, the best I have got is when I plug it in after 30min it shows up that it is in charge mode but that comes and goes.
as soon as I try calibrating it just goes off and doesn't do anything, nothing has brought the phone back to life . is there anything else I can do?
it now keeps booting back to charge when i do the battery calibration.... does this mean the phone is broke or just flat?
when it trys to turn on the screen gos blue after the logo and then turns off......
ok now the phone is back buti have to have the charger in otherwise it turns straight off
If Im understanding, you have to keep the device connected to charger to have it booted up and working else it turns off, if so then possibly hardware failure, battery terminals seem to be malfunctioning, will need repairs no technical fix as I understand.
yeah been told it will cost me £30 to replace battery
Either the charger-cable-connector bit is unreliable (do you have other chargers and cables?) or the battery itself is so broke that it doesn't store electricity any longer.
The latter usually usually doesn't come by surprice. Was battery life very short before this incident?
I know this phone is old and a new one has been ordered, but I just want to get some pictures off of it before it becomes trash. I can only get it to turn on to the logo screen and then it goes off. It won't charge, but will show the led from time to time blinking red and the battery icon on the screen and then it disappears. I can get to the bootloader screen, but it's locked so I can't do anything. Any suggestions/help? Please?!

It's not clear to me exactly what your issue is (don't have 1+) but does sound like charging issue, might just be usb connector (damaged/dirty) or more problematicly the battery or battery charging circuitry. A usb connector with debris in should be easier fix.
If you have some electrical knowledge (or take to repair shop & they can do it) you should be able to overcome phone not charging by opening phone up to either charge battery via accessing back of usb connector/pcb/pwb or connect another battery. (Be careful playing with electricity & charges )
Note: if the battery has been run down too far by you keep turning it on then the battery will not charge normally again as it needs some residual charge in it to become charged (ie when your phone shows zero charge really the battery retains a few % otherwise it's impossible to recharge, though a special charger can supply a high charge initially to bring them back to life sometimes, but you probably need a battery specialist for that, so much easier to swap battery)
if it's soft brick then that is a whole different story.
I'm not electrically inclined, so I'll likely take it to a local shop. Thanks for your response.
