Is my battery dead?? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hello,
My problem is that a morning my battery was 5% left, I switched it off and thought to recharge it later on. Night came to home, put it on charge (wall AC Charger). After 4 hours nothing .. no answer, no charge. Tried to switch it on, tried to reset it. BUT nothing happened.
Now I went to this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374108
If this is what happened? Should I do this? Or any other solution?? Thank you very very much of answering.
Regards,
Usman.

please help me!!!
anybody???

try to put our your battery out of the phone at night, go sleep, and when awake put to phone and try to turn on, if it don't help, try to recharge manually

that's the problem...! i can't recharge manually!!

i did the jump start.... now the red light is on!!
what does red light means....? i should leave it for charging or it will never chanrge now??

Jump Start
Jump Start may or may not work with your problem, you may need to charge your battery with external charger because after getting fully discharge it will not come on re-charge state.. you may say it is a design flaw.
If you don't have external charger than try to put positive and negative wire keep in contact for more than 5 minutes ( as described in jump start trick for 10 to 20 sec) but do this only at your own risk.
my recomendation is to use external charger.
i am also having this kind of problem with my wizard but my battery is not discharged my phone battery is draining out with no reason. i bought a new battery for my wizard but same result. If anyone can help me i will be very greatful.
Regards.

My Mini S died?

So I thought the battery was drained. I plugged it in, the orange LED came up. Everything seemed fine.
When I look back after a while, all LEDs are off. The device does not respond to anything - power on button, soft/hard reset...
Basically it looked dead to me.... Help please !
I've seen this before... It looks like the battery is completely drained as well as the internal battery which controls the battery software.. (And stops you charging the battery
There is a way to jumpstart it somewhere on this forum, but before you try anything like that try plugging it in and leaving on charge for at least 24 hours, or maybe trying another charged battery

My Wizard needs help please

I put my phone (T-Mobile MDA VARIO) on charge last night before I went to bed, nothing strange about that, but this morning the phone was completely dead ,wouldnt charge, no lights, wouldnt boot etc.
After searching this forum I found what I thought was the fix for a dead battery (3 AA batteries/wires etc) I did this and the phone now boots and says its chargeing, but only if I charge using USB, it wont do anything if I use the wall mains charger
If I take off the wires/AA bateries, the phone shuts down and wont charge, but as soon as I put the wires/batteries back on it works as normal.
While the phone is running I looked at the power application & it shows the battery chargeing, but wont hold any charge at all
obviously I cant walk around with 3AA batteries & 2 wires attatched to my phone.
does anyone have any suggestions please
cheers
Phil
I'd look into a new battery...
If this were a notebook battery I would say the cells had collasped.
exact same thing happened to me last night. I think there is an issue with charging the wizard when its off, like it doesn't know when to stop charging and it overloads the battery. Do you happen to have the link for that 3 batteries and the 2 wires trick, I want to give it a go. Thanks.

so strange, i think this is not a fault of battery, because lithium polymer battery is really long lasting, have you connect your x1 to computer, please connect your x1 to charger and wait about 1 hour. but maybe it's the fault of mini usb port, can you sync your x1 before it happen? in your case, bring it up to guarantee service is the best solution, what did you do before the device turn off?
Leave it on the charger, it could take about 15 - 20 minutes to start charging if the battery completely died.
i used a wall charger, and a computer charger, still no luck...i wasnt doing anything, i was playing a game and shut the game off started browsing through the fone, and it just shut off after a few battery low warning sounds. but the red light goes on after a wall charger, but nothing when i try to turn it on, it doesnt turn on, and when i unplug it to try to turn the phone on, the side lights flash red...i have no idea whats goin on but i got the phone today and its pissing me off already i spent 680 on the phone for a peice of crap...

ah, you should keep it in the wall chager a bit longer, and don't use the computer charge at this time, when the battery complete die, you should keep it charge about 10 minutes before you can start it, don't worry, when you can see the flash light turn red, it's charging, wait a few minutes more, it's will work, just forget about it, go somewhere, when you comeback, push the power button:d

was had same problem.just leave it charged.i leave it charged into usb drive,and it needs 5h before he turn on.battery was completely dead,like probably you have too.just leave it charged throught the night.
Charge some time and then remove battery cover and try to reset. as u mentioned lights are flashing when u r trying to switch on so just reset.
The X1 of my colleague had the same problem and he had the battery replaced by the vendor, no questions asked as it was dead after only 2 days...

Hi, I got similar problem and I called the support guys.
They advised me to remove the battery and charge the phone for 30 min and charged with the battery for 1.5 hour.
He claimed is some 'internal battery' stuffs.
Anyway I tried and it works.
In addition, I charged the battery when the level hits a minimum of 20%.
So far so good
Good luck.

That Solution worked for me as well. I was in Germany with some navigation software to find my destination address. Than suddenly my phone died, I thought. So I was stuck somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

hero won't charge

i drained my hero completely now when i plug my charger into the amber light blinks and the device won't turn on or charge like i said the amber light is blinking not solid please help!
im guessing its blinking because its low. have you tried pluggin it into the pc usb slot? tried another cable? maybe its just your one charger
how did you drain it? were you tethering and it got hot?

Try another charger, i had two chargers go bad on me.
i ran the battery down while i was talking on it.
and now it just does that.. im very depressed about it lol!
let it charge for a while until it has enough power to complete a boot cycle.
i tried this, it sat overngiht for 7 hours and stil ldoes the same thing..
Tried pulling the battery and putting it back in after a minute or two?
absolutely man i've tried everything i've known..
Just leave it plugged in with the blinking amber. It should charge up enough to turn solid amber within 15 minutes.
that's the thing i left it plugged u for 7 hours and still flashing amber
wow... don't know what to tell you. call sprint about that
Have you tried booting w/o the battery into recovery and resetting the battery stats?
I would definitely try what Biggz said above. I do recall hearing once that the type of battery the Hero uses isn't meant to be completely drained, and that's why it shuts off before it runs completely down to 0. You may have messed up your battery or something. I think the easiest thing to do would be to call Sprint.
Sounds like a problem ipods have lol..when the battery completely drains it,it sometimes doesnt charge up..n if it does it takes forever....try a different battery.if that dont work,take it to sprint..thats weird.keep us posted on what they tell u.....most likely the battery overheated.id probably take the battery out meanwhile i take it to sprint,just in case the battery leaks; it wont mess up the phone.
Yeah, Lithium-Ion batteries aren't meant to be deep cycled (completly draining them and then trying to charge them). It can shorten the batteries lifespan, or kill it altogether.

You can't boot into HBoot, Fastboot, or recovery without the battery. Tried it on mine.

Streak 5 dead, what now?

Hello! i have problem with my streak 5, few days ago battery drained out and phone shut down.
i connected ti a charger but nothing happen, no reaction on phone so i left it on charge all night.
Still no response, no picture on the screen, no backlight, no LED, completely dead.
I can get reaction only when i enter in fastboot mode (holding power+camera)
IN this mode touch screen not working, computer recognize device and i can do flash and i do it successfuly but i still cant turn on my phone.
What can be a problem, I tried everything with no luck, also i have not found anyone with same problem
I have 2.2 official, no root.
Try changing the battery. The one you have could be defective, or else there is an issue with the charging circuit.
I measured with instrument 3,67V, connected od 1 and 4. And few other combination i get from 3,30 to max 3,67V.
This seem to be ok, regardless of that you think might be the battery?
Never let the battery drain that much becase now the battery doens't have enough power to start the charging... you should charge the battery manual with some wires on (+) and (-) from a old phone charger be carefull with the voltage(V) and the ampers(A) not to brake the battery, 20 or 30 min should be enough, or you should buy one of this Universal charger. Then place the battery in the phone and it should work ok .
This morning I optimistically tried to turn on a phone and it was successful
battery Indicator showing 7% so i connected to charger, now is normaly charging, everything is working normally...
I do not understand, what could happen? i few times drained battery to 0% but still able to charge, maybe battery is problem, but again, turned on after 3 days
Don't worry the battery is ok the problem is not to empty it again to 0%, at 5% 7% close the phone if you don't have a charger to charge it. This method applies to every phone and battery. It's not a good thing to fully discharge.
Now is fully charged and power is 4,07V.
So obviously battery caused this problem.
I think, good info for all who suspect on battery, 4,07 V is power you need to have on fully charged battery.
With 3,6V you cant event turn on the phone.
Thank you for suggestions
