Let me start by apologizing if this has been addressed, but I wasn't able to find how to fix this. I'm new to Android flashing but finally decided to after Kies made me want...well, ya know.
Took a bit of work but I was able to get the Nero 5 rom installed. Problem is that when I plug it in to charge it it won't charge. the screen goes black and the large battery icon shows (like out would if you plugged it in without a charge). It then seems to cycle between a "waiting" icon and the battery icon and won't charge.
I've tried rebooting, taking battery out and even reinstalling rom, but get the danger problem. I'm now at about 5% battery life and no idea what to do.
Can anyone help?
Try asking in Vibrant section in the Nero post section .

Okay so i've updated to Cyanogen 5.0 beta 2 no problems installed 2.6.32 then went back down to 2.6.29.6 and extra ram works and everything but now my phone wont charge the battery.
I'm quite sad as this is the problem, someone mentioned to let the charge die and then try charging it then. So i did that and now its stuck at 0 and when i remove the charger it instantly dies. Only one other member had the same problem but he hasn't replied to my pm or the thread yet so i'll wait for him as he had this abit earlier.
I've done multiple wipes, reinistalls, nandbackups and now i'm too afraid to do anymore flashing as the phone's battery is on 0%. If at any point it requires phone battery to flash it will die and i'll have a brick.
Hopefully someone out there might have a solution
I dont think its a ROM problem since you wiped. Perhaps its a hardware problem?
i dont know. Does anyone know if its safe to flash? As in if the charger is in it should be okay right?
Okay i think i'm screwed for awhile. The battery is drop dead and now i cant enter bootloader mode. Theres a orange led at top indicating its still working but wont enter bootloader due to insufficient power. Damn i was going to try to flash it
Now i need someone with either a nexus one or another battery

Have you tried another charger or the USB cable?
Same problem here
I'm experiencing the same problem myself.
Installed Cyanogenmod 5.0b2, everything worked fine for the day.
tried JIT, had reboots, reverted back to fast
Upgraded to .32 kernel, my sdcard wasn't compatible so re flashed 5.0b2
called it an evening, my battery was full but I plug it into the charger overnight since it's my alarm clock.
Yesterday morning on the way to work, was playing music and noticed my battery had jumped from full down to around 12% in 30minutes. plugged it into car charger, and while it didn't drop anymore it didn't charge either.
Left it in pc usb charger off and on all day where the off times it dropped down to around 9% and never got above it. Eventually let it die on the way home thinking I'll re train the battery.
Left it off and plugged into wall charger for 4 hours, but batter stays at 0%
I'm glad I didn't sell my Dev G1 yet, as at least I have a working phone for the moment.
FYI I ran into this same problem running superboot himem on ERE27. My battery died and then nothing would charge it, even sitting it on AC power for 8 hours (while I slept) when I woke up my battery was stuck at 0% and would auto shutdown if I unplugged it.
I nandroid restored to stock ERE27 and immediately my battery started again. I think there might be some weird problem with himem mods. Not sure. Just to be safe I am totally over flashing custom stuff on my phone. My phone is too important to me to risk stuff like this happening.
this morning when i unplugged my tab the phone was showing 81%. if i try to charge, the percentage doesn't move from 81%.
yesterday i installed an app called battery minder. tried to uninstall it but nothing.
could you please help me?
my galaxy tab is EUR with original JK5
thanks
When you say "tried to uninstall it but nothing", are you saying it would not uninstall or after you uninstalled it dod not change anything.
In the meantime ~ have you powered down the phone..... leave it for 60 seconds, plug it into the home mains charger and switch on.
After it completes it's recharge cycle, unplug and see if it has reset the battery indicator scale.
sorry for the misunderstanding. i meant "after uninstalling the app nothing changed".
thanks for the suggestion, but i hardresetted and now it seems the phone is charging again (i'm 87% now)
thanks
No problem......
Hard Reseting the device was a bit overkill. It was more than likely (happens often) that the battery sensor got into a 'muddle' and became confused.
Quite often doing the procedure I mentioned clears any error and resets the battery status back to it's normal use.
thanks. i'll keep that in mind
So after a long fiasco of installing an old GB leak before installing the latest version, to running into force close loops and freezing at the M logo. So finally i reflashed everything and rebooted and bam! i finally got 596 to work. But i noticed that my battery logo had a question mark and that it basically wasn't recognizing my battery. I thought maybe a simple reboot will fix it, went in cwm and flashed the 596 deodexer and rebooted. Got into the lock screen when i noticed it immediately said Connect Charger. When i unlocked the screen after about 10 seconds it went black and my phone wouldn't turn on. If i connect it to pc the led flashes blue for a second meaning the battery is dead but with the battery not being recognized it cannot charge. If i connect it to a wall charger it loads up the M logo and goes to the battery charging screen, when you completely drain your phone and need to wait til its 5% to turn on, but again has a question mark in it. I don't have any external chargers either. Whats my best course of action? Do i have to go out and buy a new battery...? All helps appreciated.
im very sorry about bumping my thread.., but my phones just sitting here useless and its very aggravating and extremely inconvenient so once again, any and all help is appreciated please gentlemen(ladies).
If you can boot even for a second, boot into clockwork recovery and find the option to wipe battery stats. I would try that.
Also, even with a charge, booting while plugged into AC causes it to show the charging screen. Unplug it, turn on your phone, and in the middle of booting THEN plug it in.

Thank you for the reply, ill try wiping the batter stats asap might have to end up ghetto rigging a charge into it. Ive heard that car chargers/external chargers will still charge it, is this correct? I would love to try your second idea except for again i don't even have a charge anymore. i tap the lock button and the led flickers blue for half a second, which if im not mistaken means the battery is completely dead. While i guess its always possible, never really expected my phone to just randomly stop realizing there's a motorola batter inside of there.
Edit: also if im not mistaken i believe that i had tried to plug the charger into after/during boot up and it still says its not a certified battery or whatever the message is and refuses to charge.
Not entirely sure about the car charger idea. It might work. Kind of skeptical on that if it won't even charge when connected to a computer. You could always purchase a new battery, maybe the extended. If it doesn't work just return it. If you don't want to purchase one, I possibly could ship you an extra one just to borrow and try to see if it's a battery or phone issue.
If you have a friend with another droid x you could try borrowing his or her battery to see if the actual battery is the issue without buying one...
It sounds to me like the battery stats on your phone got corrupted when flashing the new software and need to be cleared, which as said before can be done in CW recovery. There is also an app called BatteryCalibration which will help the situation also after you actually get booted up.
Hope this helps!

I have actually seen the app before, at the time didnt really notice what it did but i understand a bit more now. If any of the actual charging methods work ill definitely try that. Might just have to hook it up to a split usb for a while to get a decent charge.

Thanks for all the help man, really appreciate it. Ill try the car charger i suppose, wont hurt. Worst case I do actually have a friend with a DX so i can see whats up with that. Ive been meaning to pick up the extended for a while now just never really got around to it, guess this might give me an excuse. thanks for the offer to send out a battery though
No problem. I've got a bunch of unused stock batteries for various phones from all the extended battery upgrades we've gotten.
In any case, if you can't wipe battery stats, trying a friends battery or something would be the next best thing.
What I would do if you borrow a battery, if it STILL shows the question mark then it is a phone problem. Boot into CWM and wipe battery stats while using your friends battery, then try your own.
Even if your friends battery works without giving the question mark, wipe stats anyways and maybe it will stop doing it for yours.
Best of luck to you with this!

Great news gentlemen! so after trying the usb split usb method to charge my phone, the first time it didnt work. i just figured i didnt have the wires pushing on the battery poles enough so i retried it. Ended up forgetting it was plugged in and about 30-45 minutes later took it off. plug her in and my phone started up, good signs so far. Finally my os loaded and lo and behold, there's my battery showing green! So i quickly throw it on my wall charger and its charging too. Wiped my battery stats just in case anyways and reflashed everything. Got 596 loaded up and running and deodoxed. After trying to install a battery mod i got a few boot loops but after a wipe didn't work luckily i made a 596 nandroid before trying it. Flashed back to that and everything loaded up fine. Cant thank you guys enough for the help you've been. making a nandroid once my full set up is back to normal haha
Ok this will be a bit lengthy but please bare with me and read...
Ive been running Darkyy 10.1 EE for months now and every has been fine.
Easily a couple of days battery, no force close issues of any sorts... Everything has been perfect.
Then the other day i noticed my battery started dropping fast. NO THIS IS NOT A BATTERY DRAIN THREAD SO PLEASE READ ON.
I took my phone off charge the other night within seconds of hearing the beep for battery full and the fully charged icon in the top right of the bar stayed there for a few seconds ( like maybe 10 ) and then the battery level dropped to 80%.
I thought hhmmm thats not right but left it and went to bed.
6 hours later i woke up to 31% battery.
I thought something must be running killing my battery so i did a reboot...
Now this is where it gets weird. Read on my friends...
after i rebooted the phone it kept rebooting itself every 2 minutes or so.
I pulled the battery of for 30 minutes and put it back but i had the same problem.
When i got home i did a factory rest and wipe cache partition and decided to flash Darkyy 10.2...
I had the same problems as above only now when my phone rebooted the battery lvl would drop by 20% then next time raise by 5% etc etc
NOW THIS BIT IS SCARY BUT READ ON!!!
I decided to flash back to froyo with ezbase using repartition to see if that would help.
I plugged my phone into the computer and nothing happened!!!! My computer wouldnt recognise my phone at all neither would my phone start charging whilst plugged into the computer.
I managed to get my computer to see my phone by booting into recovery and and then download mode and flashed ezbase.
Again same problems. So i thought OK this might be an insurance job so i flashed it back to stock JPY from samfirmware.com. I plugged it back into my computer and my PC says "the USB device you have connected has malfunctioned and windows cannot recognise..."
I have had my phone unplugged over night but the icon on the bar is still there showing USB connected, and in the pull down shade there is still the option to connect USB to copy files.
I have plugged it in this morning and it started charging but windows didnt even recognise that there was anything attached at all! No beep no fault deviced attached message... Nothing!
Oh i would also like to mention that when i flashed ezbase and tryied to do a reboot i would get the battery icon for a second like if you charged while the phone was off and then it would power down again... The only way i could get the phone to boot back up was to flash EZbase again with auto reboot ticked!
Yes that was very long sorry and thankyou to those who took the time to read it.
If anyone has any thoughts on why this would have happened please post.
Do you think this is something caused by the custom rom or is this a hardware issue completely out of my hands?
Thank you again for reading!
Have you tried another battery?

First, I would try to check if its a hardware problem.
For that burn a stock rom and see how it is doing. If its working fine with stock, without any problem, then obviously its ROM issue.
Else if the stock also gives you the same problem, then I would say its a hardware problem.

I dont think its a battery issue because the battery wouldnt prevent the computer from seeing the device would it?

Im running stock JPY right now and have the same problem
Could it be a damaged usb port, so that it doesn't always charge properly, and doesn't always detect the phone correctly when connected to the computer? That might explain the problems... Especially if that port is getting worse all the time.
Can you get it to detect on the computer if you wiggle the usb plug to the phone? Have you tried a replacement usb lead?
It does sound weird. Hope you manage to sort it out.

Garbled meaning induced by swype!
don wadte time if ur phone dosnt work on stock then its the port tht got damaged and the hardware,,,,something wrong .....better go to a service center..don expirement ,cause it might damage it more
I have just dropped it off at the shop i bought it from and they are sending it away for repair.
2 weeks of nokia 3210 magic for me!
Thanks for replies guys.
Hello,
My sgs won't charge anymore
My battery went down a few hours ago, so as usual I connected my phone to the wall charger. after an hour when I went out cycling I took my phone with me and realized my battery level went even lower then before I charged it.
I thought that maybe the charger wasn't connected properly (something that happened a few times before) so I wasn't nervous.
When I came back and reconnected the phone to the charger and made sure the charger is connected properly I realized the phone isn't charging at all.
The battery level do not increase, and the phone gets hotter and hotter every second.
I tried with two original samsung chargers. same problem.
After a few minutes the battery died. When I connected the charger again when phone is off the battery animation did show up but with a weird yellow triangle (like the one on boot when using non stock kernel) next to it.
Then I tried to charge it using the USB cable, which did something as I could enter the recovery and do a complete wipe right after backing up everything. But, it doesn't change anything.
SO.. after the long story (soz) doe's anyone knows something about this problem? is there something I can do?
Cognition 1.5
KH3 modem (the one came with cog1.5)
speedmod t27
Hardware version 1.4
Help. Please
Tom
A search will find the same question asked ...
Answer = service centre .
But before that put a stock rom on a clean phone to remove root and set rom counter to zero and test battery charge .
jje
i have alredy replyed that but usually the problem is diferente kernel installed or rom installed, try to update kernel for an updated version.
to do that check the tread here.
