Alright, so i sat down and did my first ROM flash (the clean update based off the DI01), then immediately downloaded ROM manager, and flashed the voodoo v0.2 with stock clock and voltage. Now every time I plug in the USB cable, I get the "battery is not connected" error. I have tried:
turning off phone, unplugging cable, pulling batt. then turning on, then plugging in cable
unplugging cable, pulling batt. while on, putting batt. in, turning on, then plugging in cable
... and every other possible configuration. I have left the battery out for 10 minutes now, and still no luck when I put it in.
suggestions?
EDIT:
waited a while longer, and it randomly worked. mods, feel welcome to delete this thread
It's been known to be related to phone being too hot.
hey..
That's what exactly what happened to me, so i actually flashed back to the stock rom
through the odin and wipe everything and started all over man..
I don't know..
Something is gotta be wrong with Voodoo kernel..
But in this way, i fixed it..
So i think im gonna stick with the lagfix for now..
and i guess when Dev comes out a different fixed verison, i'll take it again..
Good luck man
My phone was running at a fine temp to the touch, and I think the Battstat widget said it was at 30c, which should be fine. I think today i will flash over to a 1.1 or 1.2 Ghz voodoo kernel
Aidman...try this unplug the usb cord and shutdown pull the battery , then replace battery fire it up and charge....
post back results....
Voodoo busted my phone too. I could get the battery disconnected message to go away if I took the battery out and let it sit for a few minutes, but then it would come back later. It's a pain in the ass getting the message every time I try to charge my phone. Went back to stock until a fix can be found. My battery is nowhere near being hot when this happens, and I have only seen the message when using voodoo. I think I'll just wait for a later release. Too buggy for now...
Alright: for those of you who never read the full first post: THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED, thanks for everyone who decided to chip in. I had to try the battery pull about 10 times before it worked
Edit: I feel like an asshole after rereading my own post. I am sincerely sorry for my incredible stupidity.

I did read your post and understand the the problem wa solved for you, but not for me. I wanted to include my experience in case others are having the same issue. I was unable to fix the problem.

Not a lot of people get that error. I never did. And it never appeared either.
I had this issue too with the "no battery" indicator, and so did another individual in the lagfix release thread. No our phones were not hot, my own battery was nowhere near being hot, and we tried battery pulls, but that never worked. What worked for me was reflashing the voodoo 0.2 kernel on top of itself, the other guy tried that and had success with that too. You may give that a try, but I must say, that was only a temporary fix because after a while I got that annoying message back again.
I seem to have gotten rid of it for good, backed up all my apps in titanium, re-removed voodoo (be sure to get rid of "remove_lagfix" file when it's no longer needed), did a factory wipe, reflashed the stock Odin Kernel, did another factory wipe for the heck of it, then applied Voodoo, then reinstalled my data + app data using titanium backup (keep in mind I never wiped, restored, or returned system back to stock). Been running for a while, and I have yet to have the "no battery" annoyance and to be honest my phone boots quicker. So up to you, worked for me if you wanna give it a try.
Just wanted to update this thread. I have noticed that after flashing the voodoo kernel I too am getting the battery not connected error. However, I ONLY get this error when I have the usb cable plugged in when shutting down and starting back up again. If there is no usb cable plugged in when powering the device on, I have no problems with battery errors.
2 things stick out for me...
1. I had USB debugging on when doing the fix.
2. I removed the battery to go into initial Odin flash...PDA, etc.
The guide said my phone would reboot on its own, but it just sat at a blank screen. I had to unplug the cord and turn the power on. So do we have a fix for this yet?
i know earlier today my battery reading according tot he widget for setCPU said 66 degrees F.......which is kinda hard to believe seeing as the outside air temp is 80 degrees F outside and the inside air temp is 73 degrees F and my phone, although it had been sitting untouched for hours pluggen in inside, it was still on.....i cant believe the battery was running the best part of 10 degrees below ambient...even in idle state
Just flash the 1200 voodoo kernal u won't have that problem

Just curious if anyone has ever had this issue before. I was runng Bionix 1.9 UV/OC for a while now and had set cpu to have the overclocking off. My vibrant had this setup ever since 1.9 was released. One day I leave it on the charger for a few hours come back and it says the battery is full. So I unplug it and then it goes straight to 97% and I'm thinking "huh, thats never happened before". So I reboot the phone wipe the battery stats using Clockwork MOD and reboot.
The phone gets garbage across my screen and the starts booting up. Then give artifacts and reboots, Give Samsung S then artifacts and reboots. I tried just charging and does the same thing with just the battery logo! So then I try download mode, same thing, recovery mode, samething.
Wondering if anyone else has experienced this before. Couldn't figure it out for the life of me. Getting another Vibrant Thursday. Tmo thought it was water damage at first, convinced them otherwise and the next thought was just its a faulty PCB. I've only had this vibrant for about 2 months tops.
any ideas?
Ok so 3 days ago I took my phone off the charger and it flashes "Usb connected" now everytime I take my vibrant off the charger. I have disabled usb debugging.
Now I have a new problem...since last night..if my phone is nt on the charger and goes into sleep mode it will turn off and I cannot even get it to turn on without removing the battery and then I have to plug it in or it just stays black. if I don't plug the charger in after removing the battery it just makes this little circle loading then does nothing.
I tried my battery in a old vibrant and it worked perfect.
I have rooted master final rom and I think it may b after using setcpu but idk.
I'veFlashed my rom twice and an about to try another rom now but I've been using this final for months no problem till now
Help if you can tyvm.
ODIN back to stock. What you are having is a Kernel Panic that causes the Sleep of Death.
ODIN should fix it for you, or flashing a different kernel.
spot on reply. Odin back and it will work. I had the same exact issue using a Froyo stock build. Once I went back to stock, the issue was resolved.
Hey just wondering how do you guys condition the battery. Thanks
fully charge the battery...run it til its dead...beat the crap out of it...let it charge while the phone is powered off til its fully charged....rinse and repeat a couple times.
Can't be done on the mt4g until the clockwork recovery bug is fixed. If u charge the phone while powered off, recovery opens in a few secs.
yeah...forgot to mention that...it works like that if your working from stock

any idea what it takes to fix this?
Call me crazy but I seem to remember that while charging with power off, the batter icon would fill up with green, and the star looking symbol in the middle would be animated and spin around.
My phone doesn't do this anymore, and it looks like its occasionally resetting while powered off recharging. The screen blanks and the battery icon comes back after about 5 seconds. The LED doesn't turn on either. This happens with a fully charged battery or a battery that needs charging.
The phone acts perfectly fine when its on, no random reboots or anything like that, although my battery life has been sucking balls lately, 6-8 hours with moderate use after a full charge.
Any ideas what might be wrong? This happens on 2 different stock batteries, two different brand new Blackberry USB cables (much better quality than cable that came with the phone), plugged into wall charger or PC. Also, if I unplug the cable from the phone, the battery icon stays there unless I battery pull or camera/volume up/power reset.
Edit: I went from 100% battery to 42% battery in about 20 minutes of it being powered off, plugged in, in the state of what I believe to be a charging error that I described above.
Edit 2: This has been reported quite a few times and is a CWM issue, not ACS. I just wasn't using the right search terms last night lol
Sounds like a problem with your phone..
Also, what star? Lol

What recovery are you running, I saw this reported as an issue with CWM 3.0.0.6, but I am running that recovery, along with EB13, and the genocide 0.3a kernel and have no issues, charged my phone with it off last night, no issues.

Star was the best word to describe it lol, star looking icon that spins clockwise in the middle of the battery while its charging.

I'm running 3.0.0.6 and EB13 too, with ACS kernel. I'm going to try going back to stock and see if that has anything to do with it.
I saw this too.
I've seen both this problem and a similar problem (also reported by others) of the phone freezing with the battery icon in place.
These problems went away after a flash to stock with Odin.
Subsequent re-installation of CW3 did not re-create the problem.
This only happens with twilight zone kernel

I think this may be a bug on ACS. I have the same problem.
Sent from my Epic running ACS Frozen 1.0
Well, a stock flash back to EB13 has fixed this problem for me. Going to try reflashing CWM and ACS to see if I get the same error.
Also, seems like that star I was mentioning only pops up right before the charging indicator starts lol, I couldn't remember what this screen normally looks like
THIS IS WHAT USING THE SEARCH BUTTONS WILL FIND YOU!
For me a similar situation, with a common solution! Thanxz!
RnS! Lol
