..... as the topic really, I discharged the phone slightly .... ok I was at work fixing some lights in a blast freezer, friends phone died I reverse charged it via mine then we went to lunch .... now it seems a little unhappy.
when I plug it into charge it does nothing for 15 minutes then flashes a red lightning bolt in a circle ring, which is progress as it was not turning on at all .... any ideas?
Ideas is to let your phone charge for more than 2-3 hours since you have completely dried the battery.

thank you
Had the same. Leave it on a charger for a while. Should get up.
I have the same problem. I let it charge for about 3 hours and still have the issue. I'll let it charge another 2-4 hours.

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

when i opened it, i saw that there is some dirt / corrosion on some lines
cleaned each and every one of them.
while it was open, plugged in the battery... then the charger...
after 2 minutes... battery bar went up! it is now charging!!! and

So it goes like this . .
When I woke up this morning my sgn was turned off (I assumed the battery has exhausted) though it was about 40-50% last night i checked last. I plugged in to charger n screen appeared with empty battery symbol with yellow exclamation mark, it it didn even charge.
This has happened to me once before, that time I had pulled out battery for couple of minutes & replaced n it worked, I cud charge as usual.
But this time around that's not working, i pulled out battery n kept it out for almost half hour but it didn't work.
I have searched a lot but couldn't find anything to work.
Okay, Im on stock GB.
Any help is appreciated !
Thanks
Does the message "battery disconnected" appear? If yes, i am afraid replugging the battery is the.only way.

I've had a similar experience, just once in over six months, and it was a flattened battery, caused I'm sure by some rogue app holding a wakelock or going nuts overnight. At first I thought it was fried, as there was no sign of life whatsoever, even when connecting the charger, but after a while it started to show a glimmer and the battery did then charge normally, but from dead flat it took around four hours with the stock AC charger. Just try giving it some time to heal.
Hi,
My Xperia T was fine one morning, next time I took it out of my pocket about 2 hours after my last look at it, it was really hot, and it failed to respond to any buttons. I tried the force restart and everything. The battery was at around 40% at my last successful check.
As it wouldn't respond I was obviously forced to leave it alone as I was in work and couldn't plug it into any computers as I didn't have the USB cable with me. About 3 hours later the phone had gone cold, presumably the battery had died?
When I got home, I plugged it into the wall charger and nothing happened. Even the charging LED wouldn't come on.
24 hours later I plugged it into the charger again, and now the charging LED comes on instantly, (where as there was normally a bit of a delay I believe???) only to experience it turning off again 2 minutes later. A further 2 minutes later and the light comes on again and this process repeats. It still doesn't respond to any buttons or combination of buttons.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Josh
Let it charge at least overnight and then try to boot again

Hi!
I have this phone for one month and three weeks. I notice my phone battery usage seems to drop from 100% to 90% quite quickly, but slows down after that. Another thing, I plug my HTC charger and than plug it out, the battery increases by one percent magically. I plug it back in and than it drops by like 4% or 1%.
For example, I had my phone charged at 98%. I unplug the charger and it increases by 1%, so it is on 99% now. I plug the charger back into the phone and it drops to 95%. I did this again when it charges to 99%, same thing happened.
So can anyone help me out here?
Thank you
Estimating battery charge level is very hard, especially when there is also a current draw from it.
Leave it to charge for longer after it has gone green and stop worrying about it.
as BenPope wrote, leave it for a while with green light..
same happens to me...if i take it immediately once it hit 100%, I will drop to 97% in 5min
i have same problem when device is on while charging

Thank you for the response. I heard that once the led light goes green during charging, I should pull the plug straight away from the phone. Does this help to prevent battery from deteriorating quickly? I know that the phone's lithion battery prevent cases of overcharging, but can it still be subjected to killing the battery life faster. Thank you once again.
don't know about that just thought u could probably try let your battery drain completely and put it on charge after

The One wont let your phone overcharge, as you said, so theres no need to worry about leaving it plugged in.
As others said, eventhough your phone says 100% and the light goes green, this doesnt mean your phones actually topped off. Leave it in for 10 minutes after the light goes green and the quick drop from 100 to 90 that you mentioned will stop occuring. I can verify that this works.

I see. I left the phone charge for 20mins more and it fixed the rapid battery drain issue. Guess I should stop thinking too much about it.
Thank you.
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.

*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.

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
