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...

Charged without battery...

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.

HD2 not charging,but is recognized by computer

My TMOUS HD2 won't charge when plugged in to any source. I've tried multiple cables and have tried plugging it into the computer as well as into the wall and with the car charger. Nothing as far as a charge, but the light flashes on the LED and when plugged into the computer, it is recognized and can sync.
Also, the "do not charge the battery when connected to a PC" is NOT selected.
Is there a registry setting or something that may have been changed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just pulled out the battery and restarted the phone and it charged, but when I unplug it and then plug it back in, it won't charge again. I tried pulling the battery out again and it didn't work.
I'm truly baffled.

Hope you guys are not using an aftermarket battery. If you are,then most likely that is the culprit.

sounds defective to me, maybe a bad battery, or a dodgy circuit in the charge control circuits.speak to your vendor, try another battery.
(id try hard reset first, though)

Mine did this last night. Wouldn't charge of the wall charger or PC. What I did was take the battery out, hold the power button down for 20 seconds, put battery back in, plugged it onto the wall charger and it started to work again.

Well crap. When I get home I'll throw in a stock battery and see if that changes things.

go to
settings->system->power->battery and uncheck "when phone is on, do not charge battery, when connected to a PC"
it should help

As said in the first post, that was off.
Anyways, was using Kumar 1.6 and flashed Elegancia 2.5 and it's fixed.

try different ROM and RADIO it may help

for those having this issue you might want to check out the contact points on the phone for the battery.
I had this issue and it would out of no where not charge but it would say the battery is 100% right away and the LED light would blink orange and green. But when you unplugged it it would go right back to the actual charge amount that was on it before.
I noticed when I put in the battery that the middle contact was poking out between the battery and the phone and then i pushed it in and it started charging.

my wife's phone had the same problem with the middle contact. Poor design on htc's part. A hole through the back cover to get to the reset button would be really nice.

Amazing how so many of us can have the same problem, that's TRUE design fault right there. You described my problem exactly, Battery Displaying as 100% when charging, LED flashed Orange and Green and would discharge instead of charging. It was indeed my middle contact, thanks a ton.

I had the same issue, and SOLUTION here worked, but another issue I have is that phone is taking close to 4 hours to completely charge. Anyone out there had the same issue?

Not sure I understand the phone crash part? The battery could be dead though, it is possible
Just trying to get an accurate idea of what happens:
When using your phone, it turns off at about 5%/6%, so you charge, however, the charge only lasts 2-3minutes and does not provide a full charge? At which point the operating system states it is still charging, however, the phone no longer lights up orange.
Do you get a longer charge when charging via usb or mains?
When it stops showing orange, does it go green/red or anything?

absolutely is the battery. buy a new battery!

Hi again, after i had opened a topic here, i took it to service. They tried another battery, result was still same. After 3-4min it stops to charge.They told me that the board should change

HELP! Atrix 4G wont turn on!

I just took my atrix out of my pocket and its turned off itself, everytime i try to turn it on, the LED light turns green and then goes off. nothing, black screen!

Try pulling the battery out. that should fix it.

I am having this same problem, I've taken the battery out multiple times and tried to do resets but nothing happens. It stays off and only the LED blinks green when I press the power button.

What build are you running? Did you just do the update?

Plug to wall charger.

Same thing happened to me the other day. It's probably because your battery is drained. Plug into a wall charger and let it charge for at least 30 minutes.

Haha thank you guys. I had it plugged into my laptop all night like I do every night to charge. I guess it didnt work. Plugged it into the wall and the screen popped right on. Thanks again!

I can't believe people panic post like this!.......Help, my television wont turn on........did you plug it in? Help, my car wont start.........did you put the key in the ignition?..........Help, my phone wont turn on..........Did you charge the battery?

First of all, your reply has no useful information whatsoever, second, when the device works just fine for month while plugged in into computer then one morning it doesn't wake up, what do you expect people do? And why in the world would it matter for a good built phone that charges through USB matter if it's plugged in into computer or a wall charger? - it's nonsense...
In fact, there are many other phones that even if the battery dead it would work when plugged in into computer, even removing battery wouldn't shut it down.
In Atrix case if battery died you have to find a wall charger, then wait 30 minutes? seriously? - well done, Motorola, well done!

It's not nonsense. USB can only provide 500mA of current, wall chargers pretty much can double or triple that. That's why it takes ages to charge any phone over USB compared to a wall charger.

First of all, why are you digging up this relic of a thread? The comment you're responding to is from 4 months ago.
Second of all, @CaelanT is right, sometimes people panic unnecessarily. It happens. And his comment does offer something useful, it's a reminder that sometimes it can be the simplest of things that will resolve your issue.
Third of all, @turl1 is correct about the mA output, that's just common sense, though some newer computers are capable of 1Amp of output.
Have a nice day.

so ye, basically goto train it again...
and as much as possible...USE UR ORIGINAL CHARGER !!!

[Q] Boot problem - Resolved

Hi.
*I have read all 16 pages of the forum, and haven`t find any solution for my issue.
Have rooted with TouchNooter 2.1.31. Could not log into Youtube(error 401) and decided to go back to stock.
For that I did standard Erase&Unregister and then used recovery image from thread (n2T-Recovery_0.2.rar)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289233.
Recovery went well. Got my nook back to stock 1.0.1 version.
Then I wrote nook_1_1_update.zip to nook`s partition and waited till it reboot and begin to install.
When the message "...Install is in progress do not power off..." appeared I went to sleep.
In the morning I found still the same screen and device not responding to anything.
I thought that maybe it discharged and have plugged it into USB, message appeared that "charge is in progress". After around 15 minutes I tried to power it on, but got message "...power is to low wait 15 min...". I left it plugged in and went to work. When I came back the charge led baecame green, but still the message "wait 15 min"
Now I`m here. Have tried all the buttons and times combinations suggested to bring it on but still nothing...
Thaks in advance for any help.
PS have no backup images

Does it try to reboot when you long press the power button? (10-15s)

No matter how long I press, nothing happens, at all.
When I connect it to PC there`s some new device blinking in "Devices and Printers(Win7)" something like OMAP3630

I'm putting my money on it being entirely out of power
When you have it plugged on the charger, does the led go orange, and does the led go green for a few seconds when you try to reboot it?

In the morning it was orange when I plugged in so I decided it is discharged and left the device for day. Now the led is green(when plugged to usb) and does not change.

Charging from USB can be very unreliable, use the charger.
In fact my NST is in the same state as yours right now because I left it in a half-booted state last night
My screen is blank and the only reaction I get is a small flicker on the LED and a tiny visit by the OMAP device
I know from experience that trying to charge it from my USB hub will not work, or take days, but if I use the charger it will wake up in about 20 minutes.

Arrr, havent ordered the charger >_<
Wait... I have connected it to my note and led is orange now, so the charge process is going on. Ill wait a while, maybe it`ll get some charge to boot.
Thanks for support ros!
...UPD While I was wrighting this the display reacted, now it indicates the charging process. Thanks again

Uhm, did it come without a charger?
Mine came with one although it was useless to me as I live in Norway, it kinda doesn't fit the sockets we have over here
I just use the charger for my mobile phone, it can deliver a lot more than my crappy USB hub

It now comes only with usb-cable, without charger. I live in Ukraine so saw no need to order charger too.
After 20 minutes still battery too low. Is there a possibility that I could damage the battery in some way?

I killed mine a few days ago, and it took about an hour until it was ready to pull up. Just give it time.

Like Googie says, just give it time.
Mine usually awakes after 20min on my charger, trough a USB port it might take a lot longer depending on the device you're charging from.
And no, your battery is not in danger.

Agreed. When it gets completely drained it can sometimes take 20 minutes or an hour sometimes I've noticed even longer before I could get mine to start properly. The major issue though here will be if it stopped in the middle of an install you might need to use n2T-Recovery_0.2.rar to get it to properly boot before trying to update again.
