I cant turn on my device, the only thing that seems to work is the led, when I turn it on starts on green then orange and finalley red, Does anyone know what happened?
Does it work at all when plugged in to the mains power? Does teh charge led light up to display what is going on? Do you have another device/a multimeter that you can check the battery with. it could be that the battery has died / needs a long charge / doesn't want to work. Hopefully that is what it is, as if not, it could be something a lot more severe.

I have read alot about people complaining about the AMBER LED being still on despite the full charge for even over a night!
I don't know if anyone tried this but I did and it worked. Keep the device on while charging -disable the power management- and sure you will have the AMBER for few hours til it reaches 100% when you shall get the GREEN LED. In my case I use a special screen saver that slide-show a set of pix during the recharge period.
The question now is; would the screen get damaged after sometime having it on for periods like 8hrs? I mean does it lose brightness or quality after a while?
Pls advise.
Personally I use spb pocket plus which clearly displays the charge % on screen so I don't even look at the colour of the light.
:wink:
opposite problem
this is crazy but i get the oppositie thing. My main battery is supposed to be 100% charged so it's supposed to be charging the backup batter. What it does after a while is switching on from the orange light to the green light - although it hasn't finished charging. Once I disconnet the cable and connect it again then it become orange again and probably starts to charge for once again? what's wrong with it?

I know my mda has a red - orange - green (bi)LED and a blue LED.
Yesterday my battery was very low, but i couldn't charge it because i wasn't home. I thought that it wouldn't be a problem, i 've backups at home, etc, so i didn't worry... When i was back home i tried to charge it, but when a do so, a red light shows up and after a while it changes to blue.
Does anyone know what's wrong or at least know what the different colours mean?
tested the battery -> full
tested my battery in another phone.. was completely full, so the charging is not a problem, but i'm afraid my phone is dead...
Has anyone else noticed when you plug in the Phone to be recharged, occasionally the 'red' indicator does not come on or disappears?
It's now happened to me several times ~ I plug the Phone in for a recharge, initially the red light comes on then after a few seconds it goes out leaving no indication if it's charging or when it's complete.

"Wiggle" the charger around and see if the charge light goes on and off!

Could it due to bad physical connection?
No guys.
I'Ve cheched all connections.
Besides, if I leave it plugged in whilst there is no light showing and switch off the Phone the red charging light then comes on.

Well this is now really starting to bug me.
I've carried out a Hard Reset thinking something was interferring with the charge light procedure but even on a default machine with the device running the red light simply does not come on.
Swith the Phone off, then connect and the red light appears.
So.... when my machine is running I don't get the indicator (but it is charging I know because after leaving it for 30mins I've checked and sure enough it's charging).
Any other ideas???
My Trinity does this when overheating, it stops charging and blinks the LED. Unplug for 10 minutes and replug.

Now that's an answer I was not expecting...... Thanks tnyynt, I'll give that a go on my next charge cycle.
Edited:
No... that didn't work.... but thanks all the same.
I have now resigned myself to the fact if I want to see the red charging light the only way is to first power down the Phone, then connect to the mains electric and then the red charge light comes on.
If I want I can then switch the Phone back on again whilst charging until the green charged light shows.

I ahve a major problem.
Today my battery went down, so I had to charge it.
I left it to charge when I returned the led was red, which means battery is low right? So I noticed it wasnt charging. I retried and was red again.
So I took the battery out and try to to start the phone with the charger attached. But it woudnt start.
The led was green and bliking yellow.
It wont even charge from the pc...................
What do I have to do? What could be wrong?
Thanx in advance
It's possible to turn charging off in the power settings... not sure what to suggest

Itsw working again. Battery seemed dead. I left it charging for one day.
it shouldn't do that, even if you charge it for that long. HP automatically stops charging when full.
Probably the mini usb port is broken. You should have it checked.

I just got the Huawei IDEOS X5. Once the battery ran low, I plugged it to the charger. The problem is that the Led Status Indicator (above the screen on the front of the phone) doesn't become orange (it is green). According to the instructions this Led should be orange while the charge is in progress, and become green once the phone is fully charged. This behavior does not follow the info described in the manual of the phone.
Has anyone had the same problem? Do you know why this is happening? Should I return the phone back to the seller?
Thanks

Led burns green, when the battery is above 90% or so. Under that should be orange. Sometimes when you plug in the charger, it takes time even to start charging (Led is green then). I'd say try to observe more
I thought the same when I first start charging my device, but when the device was fully charged I realized that the led(which seems to me green) wasn't.
The orange color of the led it's not so orange(like was on other devices) but is more close to green(again the green on other devices). On ideos the the green led it's not so light and yellowish, it's more deep like trees green.
And what sanpsa says happens also after 90%
Thank you guys. You were 100% right both!
Dunno, whether it depends of soft or not, but when battery below 15% (or 10%) LED should be red. For mine device it's so.
