Strangest thing happened to me... Battery died while i was at work. When I got home, I plugged it in to the wall charger and nothing happened (not even the white plug icon appeared). I unplugged it, powered on and plugged it in right away before it shut off. Looked up at the battery indicator to make sure it was charging and I saw a question mark over the battery icon. WTF...
Since then, my battery has failed once to fully charge (or at least indicate that it was fully charged).
Anyone else had this happen to them? WTH is wrong with this POS...
Get a warranty replacement for the battery. It seems like it failed for some reason.
I think its battery connector issue.
By the way have you tried using different charger n charging cable?
If it doesn't charge with any other cable as well better get a replacement

A friend of mine just picked up a Droid X today and he's having problems.
First, the charger it came with doesn't appear to charge, there is no charging indicator light.
I attempted to use a number of USB chargers, the first from my HTC Hero, another from an iPad, and a third is a cheap Chinese AC charger with a USB port that I picked up for my EVO.
The only charger that turns on the green light on the top is the cheap Chinese one.
If I plug it into my computer, I can also get the green light to come on, but it doesn't appear to be charging it. When the phone is on using the cheap charger, the phone appears to work, but says on the lock screen to plug the phone in.
Further, the lock screen is not responsive. We let it charge with the phone off for about a half hour with the green light on, the phone boot up and had a little bit of life and the screen did work, then it suddenly turned off and won't boot past the Motorola logo (just flashes for a couple of seconds then disappears.)
So, whats the verdict? Hardware problem or is anyone else experiencing this? The phone did completely die, so I wonder if that caused a problem of some kind.
Do you have a Green light when charging with the phone off? Does the light flash red when it's on and charging?
Thanks for the help!
I plugged it into my home computer and nothing happened vs. being able to charge my computer and nothing. Although the phone was about half way charged before I plugged at work, vs 10-15% at home.
Mine didn't charge while plugged into my netbook, but does charge while plugged into my PC, and definitely charges while plugged into the wall charger.
Update: After using the wall charger and fully charging it, I connected the Droid X to my computer and it now syncs up. Maybe the amount of battery power matters?
I don't think the green blinking LED is a charging indicator. Mine charges without it....but I notice when I was charging it the first time, it was going off when I had an unread text message. Is everyone sure the green LED is supposed to be a charging indicator? Mine's charging right now according to the bar on top when I turn it on while it's plugged into my computer.
I'm having a charging issue with my car charger.
When I plug it in to the car the audio volume drops to almost inaudible and the voice commands don't respond anymore.
This is with all the volume sliders set all the way up.
I have to reboot the phone in order to get it to work again.
I've charged it connected to my PC at home and work and it works fine with those.
Wow, the OP totally describe my problem i had too. I went back to Verizon and got another battery. My first battery wouldn't charge above 50% and the second came with 80% and we tried charging it at the store and it never went higher than 80%.I read on another forum that the charging indicator only reads at every 10% intervals, so that may be the problem. The rep and I at Verizon was watching it to see if it would move up to 81% so we would know it was working(beside the bubbles moving animation) and it didn't and we gave up, I will see what happens when I charge it tonite with the AC plug for the first time.
So the green LED light is not a charging indicator. Apparently, there is no charging indicator at all.
We left the phone off and plugged in with the stock charger, no light, but it did gradually move up.
I did some searching on the Motorola forums and another user ran into the same issue, he said that leaving the phone off and charging it for an extended period of time solved the problem.
I have no idea what the green light meant when it was plugged into my cheap Chinese charger, it must have been nothing.
It wasn't a text message or any other kind of notification since it was on only when the phone was completely off.
Before he left with the phone it was up to 90%. A brief press of the power button brought the phones battery state up, but didn't boot the phone.
Hope this helps anyone else with issues. Just plug it in and let it sit overnight.
I had a similar issue the first day.after overnight charge all seems normal for day two.

The only charging indicator is the lock screen part if you just turn it on it will tell you at what point it is charged.

It will occasionally show 5% intervals when it gets below 20% (I've seen 20, 15, 10, and 5% intervals).
I've noticed my phone doesn't like charging from a computer while the battery is really low. Once it's had a little bit of a boost from the wall charger, it will charge fine off the computer.
I just changed to a new one today.a friend of mine is having the sand issues. As so did i. It seems its not the battery its a short on the ground on some phones. Its pretty awkward but it has only been a handful from a batch of thousands that were released. So were in good money.

When you said charge fast you're referring to wall charge? Car charge? Or usb charge?
Stock X
Hey guys,
Figured I'd swing over here and give this a bump for a buddy of mine. Seein if this may be a slightly common issue.
The situation(for him): All on stock phone NO ROOT
- No charge on wall/home charger. Shows charge indication but does not actually charge whatsoever.
- No charge using PC usb cord to charge.
Again everything is stock and not currently running any app killers or really anything out of the ordinary as I can tell. The only thing he has purchased and is running that I am aware of is Launcher Pro. The issue has been brought to the attention of Verizon which is his carrier and he just received his 4th phone! Honestly thats the only reason I'm posting an inquiry into this hear. A simple google search results shows others with similar issues(posted link at bottom). He has purchased a new battery and wall/home charger along with another USB cord. All 3 phones he has had produced the same issue with all of the charge accessories(4th phone just received so no tests as of yet, but i put money on it doing the same thing). Verizon has been willing to replace every phone so thats not a problem but seriously! Is that the only answer?
any help is appreciated in advance

There are two charging indicators, no lights! One is on the status bar, you'll see a lightning bolt through the battery meter, and on the lock screen it will say charging as well with a %.
Absolutely, yes sir. Both indicators(lightning bolt in battery, and battery charge indicators) light up and show charging. Although once phone is unplugged it will keep whatever the charge level indicates for a random amount of time usually between 1min-15mins then the battery indicator drops immediately and shows an almost dead battery. As in charge shows 80%, unplug and within mins phone shows 10%.
Also:
- There are no other indicators of charging other than those mentioned (as it should be).
- The phone connects to PC just fine for mass storage. Files transfer with no problems.
thanx again!
So... which one is it? First you say no indicators, and now there's indicators but it just doesn't hold charge. is VZW replacing the phone or the battery? sounds like a bad battery to me.
My apologies you are correct *edited post* i meant to say it does show charging as in you see the lightning bolt and everything even the battery icon fills to show a "fuller" battery although that stat drops almost immediately after unplugging.
As in replacements they replace the phone and battery as well. I know its the 3rd phone so far with the same problem.
Need some feedback, any one has had a bad battery yet? I had mine charging up to 85% yesterday and went back to bed thinking that today (sunday) morning will wake up and do some early stuff but I woke up late and had a dead Streak next to me. I left it charging overnight (I know it was only 15%) but you never know when you're going to need that extra juice. I tried turning it on, no luck, took the batt out tried turning on with only the mains plugged in, no go, I had blinking LEDS for a short moment then it turned off and that was it until I decided to jump start the phone (I don't recommend doing this to no one) with a BB Bold Battery (3.7V 1500mAh) all of a sudden I get the battery with exclamation mark, like I had a dead battery, I've only had the device for 2 weeks, also this is a Beta Unit I bought "AS-IS" but the problem was a simple restore and not the battery. now I manage to charge the battery in a raw way, just hot wired into a 4.2v DC. now the big question...
I'm at 40% battery it is draining very little, I would even say it is under normal operation, but i can't tell I don't have a SIM on it ATM. but I checked on "spare parts" to see status of the battery and it all seems ok but the bit that says BATTERY STATUS: discharging
No matter where I plugged the wire it is discharging, the phone is being detected on windows/mac any computer I plug, the phone does detect where the source is coming it says AC when I plug into the charger that came with, if I plug it into the USB of the computer it does says USB but it will never say charging, I even transfered files to the phone to test the wire, seems to me I have a crappy battery but just need more feedback, anyone has had this problem before? on any phone should I call Michael Dell and order another batt?
P.S. I have a BB Javelin had the same problem did jump started the battery and now the mobile is charging no probs and it DOES hold charge.
UPDATE: Ok guys any of you running 2.1 (8105) on your USA Beta (probably regular too) and have this issue about not charging, I went back to 1.6 (4399) issue is gone, I also had the crazy screen couldn't unlock/answer phone, will see if that is gone too, more than likely it is but I'm not 100% sure.
if it wont charge using usb or mains but only by jump starting it, then the streaks charging circuit is most probably f***ed.
Hi all,
Hi hoping someone could help, a guy at work has handed me his Defy as its not charging. Plugged it in and after the M splash screen it goes to the battery charging screen. Only problem is that just shows a massive question mark ? Anyone know what that means please? My ony thought is its not a a genuine battery so the phone is having diffaculty reading the charge level or something ?
Cheers
I can think of three reasons why the battery why the battery wont charge:
You are not using the original charger
You don't have the right battery
The battery is defect
It is easy to test point one: Just plug your phone in an USB-port of a running PC.
Otherwise you could buy an original battery, or if you know someone else with a defy, swap batteries and test...
I too had same issue, used universal battery charger for charging the battery for some time and then on its working fine.

And you can charge it with an USB cable and a PC?
It just happened to me two days ago. A battery pull and put back solved it. There must be something with the connections. Got me. Only happened that one time.
I too had same issue,how did you solve !?
I too had same issue in 7 mounts
I have the same problem. If I connect my defy to a pc the white LED of charging turn ON but it doesn't charge. It can boot but it turn off after the boot because have no charge!
you could also have a wrong battd!
I have one charger that charge some android phones ( old xperia and samsung) but doesn't charge my defy or a newer samsung.
Anyway, I use an original samsung charger (don't buy those cheap $1 ones) and it can charge any phone.
It's strange because the voltage written written on both is the same and so is the mini usb plug (the amps are higher on the original though).
Only the original charger that came with the phone will charge mine. Any other charger and I get errors.

Happened to me that the brand new battery didn't charge, just a question mark on the notification bar(I even charged via mcGyver Style). Check your connection pins on the battery between + and -. It couldn't check the battery load status. Check yours if still have the problem.
Ya are saying use a usb charger to charge our android but ya are not solving our problems for those who like the charging pads mine charges when phone is on and in sleep mode however when turned off and on the charging pad it shows the question mark on the battery symbol the phone works fine with the charging pad when in sleep mode just not when its turned off I like to just take my phone off the charger and go instead of unplugging it.
Hello,
Today there went somthing wrogn with my sgs2. The battery is not being charged. I have tried few chargers but without success. Now it is powering up showing info the battery is over and turnes off. After few minutes it is again powering up and after few seconds powering off :/
I think I have to sent it to warranty service or is it any other way I can check it?
I'm not sure if it is battery problem or phone problem.
It started yesterday when my phone showed some strange message like it has been used in car (wheel icon on top).
Well guys this is totally weird.
It started charging properly when I connected it to USB cable from USB hub.
What I observed is that when battery is below 25% all the problems are happening and I cannot use normal charger. When I charge it above 30% then normal charger also begins to work without any problem.
Maybe it is software related?
It might be the 650ma limit for charging is messed up or your chargers are not meeting the requirements.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
I was reading that that a lot of you guys have issues with Android not displaying the real charge of the tablet and I was experiencing this issue for a while as well. In my case it was an easy fix, simply power off the tablet, carefully pry off the back, then disconnect the battery cable carefully (it's the cable coming from the big black thing on the bottom, google to find out where), finally hold the power button for about 10-15 seconds with the battery unplugged, this creates a static reset, using all of the electricity in the device and discharging it fully; it fixes all sorts of ****. Put it back together and you should be good to go.
It happened yesterday to my totally new nexus 7 16gb.
I charged it for about 8 hours while the tablet was turned OFF. When I turned it on it appeared to have 60% of battery... :-/
I reset the device and then again 60%..... So I charged it again and with no problem appearing, it charched untill 100%..
That happend only once, in its 3rd charge.
Any idea?
battery stuck at 0%
I was having this problem as well, my nexus was showing 0% battery. I took the back cover off and figured out that the battery cable was not pushed all the way into the socket. If anyone else is having this problem be sure to double check the battery cable is all the way in.

i experienced that too.switched off then after 5 hours of charging, the % was 54%. then i unplug the charger, remove the cable, unplug the 3pin . reinsert all the 3pin and cable, then continue charging. surprisingly, the charging the is quiet fast. so dont ever remove the cable from the charger. maybe there is something wrong with the asus charger
I am facing weird battery status..it shows me 0% in red danger zone even though fully charged, but after some hours status changes to normal remaining battery...I unable to understand how can I fix this...as I am not getting exact battery status...its now also showing 0 % with charger plugged....
