I've had my G1 for about a month now and only charge it over night so i never noticed this until now. While my phone is charging I'm not able to long press anything. For example, I can't hold an icon on the home screen to move it. As soon as I unplug the charger Im able to long press again. Is this a bug in android or is this just a problem with my phone?
Works fine for me, im plugged into my wall charger and can long press. Have you tried turning the phone of and back on again??
What firmware are you running??

So my battery dies on my 8125 yesterday...no bigs, I plug my phone into my car charger. The orange light comes on, it has issues booting up, I power it off and keep it plugged in on the drive home from work. I get home, plug it into the wall charger and keep it there for a couple hours. It won't turn on. I figure, okay the battery is way drained, plug it back in and leave it there overnight. I wake up this morning and it still won't turn on. I take out and reseat the batter and SIM card...nothing. Plug it into the PC and it doesn't even recognize that I plugged in a device. I think its dead. Any ideas before I send it back to Cingular?
update:
i tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40399 and at first it wouldnt power up after plugging it directly into the usb. five minutes later? success!!! woot! that thread needs to be stickied.
Okay not sure that this works but has been mentioned before.
While plugged in to power/USB hold down the power button and then wait.....then press the power button once.
might work
Last night my battery completely drained so I charged it over night and when I went to power it on it says booting WPH go go go, boots to the HTC green logo screen and powers off. I have been running WP7 flawlessly for 3 weeks now and have not had this problem before. I don't really want to reflash right now because I'm hoping there's a way to salvage everything in the phone.
Are you sure the battery charged last night...reason I ask is...when it completely drains the battery wont charge when the phone is off due to Magldr.
Yeah, it's off the charger right now and it just keeps powering off after the HTC logo
same exact thing just happened to me. I'm going to start from scratch and redo it.
I am curious to know as to what caused this, it's very odd since the ROM has been working flawlessly.
your not restarting with usb cable attached are you?
how did you charge your battery? external charger?
there is some talk that charging in magldr usb flasher mode works dispite no status lights BUT its unclear if the battery controller will auto cut off when full, overcharging could shag your battery
oh a while back i had some odd restart issue too, pretty much as you have mentioned, happened 4 times in a row then worked
Help me too!!!
Me as well, about an hour ago, my battery drained, so I plugged it in, and the phone keeps restarting, but then powers off...
I've kept it on the AC for the past hour, and now it no longer hit's the magldr, it just flashes the screen black, then dies...
Is there a way to JUST CHARGE my battery? Without having it in the phone?
too bad you didnt seach for this issue, i wrote a nice piece that would have got you out of that mess if you hadnt kept restarting it, oh well never mind,
if you cant even get to magldr then your looking at an external charger, you could try connecting up an old usb cable directly to the battery but be very careful!
This happened to my old HD2 after I gave it to my sister once I got my HD7, to enable it to charge again all I did was remove cable, remove battery. Re-insert battery and attach cable, hold down the volume down button on the side of the handset and press the power button.
The phone will turn on and show the tri-color screen. Leave it on this screen for 20 minutes and the battery will charge, then simply reboot and you will be able to boot back in to Windows Phone 7.

Thanks for that tip...I am going to remember it in-case I one day run into the same problem
Ok my n10 is rooted and romed with CARBON rom, no problems nothing, but today I had an email come in I looked at it set It down left the screen on a second later it just died. so I plugged it in back on it comes. later same thing almost dead checked new email, set it down screen on then death.....plugged it in again, now nothing except a flashing battery charging symbol. been charging for 10 min. tried power, power volume down, nothing....got a different cable...nothing.....my computer wont pick it up either. what do I do?????
PLEASE HELP!!!
I just had this same problem with mine; because of the strange battery issue where my battery would read 90% when it was actually empty and slow charging once it was plugged in... The resolution for me was to plug it into the charger for 5 minutes and not touch it and then try a power on.

Thanks Ill give it a go!!
Plug it in to the wall charger, not a computer. Let it sit for 30 minutes and then hold all buttons down at the same time. This should let the tablet boot now and will bring you into fastboot mode. It defaults to "Start" so just hit the power button and the tablet will boot like normal. Once you verify the tablet will boot fine, shut it down and leave it plugged into the wall charger until the tablet is charged all the way.
Dont know if it is a coincidence or not but this is the 3rd time I have heard the same story and all people were using the Carbon ROM.
Thanks guys for the feedback, definitely will be switching roms and buy the pogo charger!

So my girlfriend got this phone 2 weeks ago. All I did to it was update the software to stock 4.3, then root it. No custom rom/kernel.
Today she had charged her phone to 100% overnight. Then while driving she had it plugged in to the car charger. Her phone randomly shut off. It was not overheating.
When I try to hold the power button for a long time, the LED blinks red. The screen will not turn on.
I have tried plugging it in to the laptop and the wall charger. Holding Vol Down + power doesn't help.
If I have to RMA this device, how can I even unroot it before sending it in if the screen doesn't turn on?

You can RMA.
If it won't boot, then Google won't know if it's rooted or not. They probably won't even bother looking, and they will use the phone for replacement parts anyways. The car charging probably got something burnt inside.
Either RMA it or take it apart and unscrew the battery screws a bit that will probably fix it.
If you planning fixing it yourself let me know then I'll send you a guide.

Recently I noticed that my S8 was not fast charging when plugged into the wall outlet, but it was still at least charging albeit slowly. Yesterday the battery was down to 15%, I used a car charger on the way home, not really paying much attention to the battery percentage, but then when home used it for a couple minutes before plugging it onto the wall charger.
At that time I noticed it had shut off, figuring the battery was simply flat I left it for the night.
This morning I get up and it is unresponsive, if I push any buttons the LED will blink red a couple times then do nothing. I have tried to reset holding the power button and volume down and just get the same red LED blinking. Tried plugging it into a laptop charger, and still nothing.
Any suggestions before I send the thing back? Any way to access the pictures, contacts etc?
Thanks.

Laptop and car chargers are usually slow. Do get a new home charger with cable and even change the socket which you use to plug the charger in.

I have a smilar problem.
100% battery, charged overnight, at 9:00 the phone was working, at 9:45 it wasn't working... I had a green led blinking but no response from any key or combination. When I unplugged it the green blinking stopped but the phone doesn't respond. It doesn't automatically connect to wifi (I've restarted the router to see if it connects)
I'm proceeding to get a refund because mine is 5 days old (16/08/2017)

I know they are slow, but figure maybe the laptop can get it to at least power on. I have tried a different socked to plug the charger in, not going to go and buy a new home charger and cable though if the phone is unresponsive.

If I can get this to power on I am getting all my pictures, contacts and then dumping it. At the moment nothing gets it to power on, just a blinking red LED. It is barely 2 months old.
Edit: Looks like it will be a warranty replacement, the red light is blinking regardless of any type of charger I hook it up to. Any combination of trying to get it to reboot either normally or into recovery fails. My laptop recognizes something is plugged in, but that is as far as it goes. Hopefully I can get contacts off it at the very least, I also hate to turn in a phone without resetting it.
