Pull the battery and power cable and let it sit for a half hour.
Thank you for using dell tech support.
Seriously.. it has worked many times.

When you plug it in does the charge led come on? If it does just leave it plugged in for 8-24 hours. Possible but doubtful that a cell or two in the battery died.

Phone won't charge past 92%

So I've been using Pongsters hyper droid and I can't charge past 92%.. Only started having this problem once I upgraded to the latest version. Anyone else having this problem?

Try charging your phone while it is off until the green led turns on. Then unplug the phone and turn it on. Android should be at 100% (or maybe 99% depending on how much power your phone uses to start up).
You gotta charge to 100% in windows and then boot android

Strange problem I recently developed on my vibrant. Suggestions?

Ok so these last couple of days I've been having the strangest problem with my vibrant. The battery litterally sucks it self on the charger. For example, today at 3 in the morning I woke up to find my phone charging at 71% I was like ok good. Woke up at 7 and the phone was completly dead! It looses power on the charger. At first i thought it was the battery so i switched it. And whattya know. Still the same problem. Then i thought it was the usb port since ya know samsungs port sucks ass so j get a new charger and nothing. Let me remind you tthat this is a recent problem. Any body know a fix to this?

Test your charger. Try usb charge from pc. With a different cable to be sure something is not crossed inside.

The battery should not drain like that period not even cm is that bad
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
My point is nothing to do with rom or phone but rather the charger or cable my be damage and causing short that drains the battery. Hence the suggestion to try other cables and charge methods to eliminate the possibility of this being the culprit.

Bought a new charger before I posted. Still draining!

Does it also fail to charge if the phone is turned off? If it charges while off then perhaps its a software issue after all. If not then the charge/usb port might be bad. How are you charging the battery between posting?

It shows its charging. But it'll go from like 11% to 0% in like 10 mins. And yea it charges with the screen off.

Have you tried to backup and re-flash your phone? Have you tried a battery calibration by wiping the battery stats? My advice *having never encountered that issue* would be to save all your data, make a list of the apps you use regularly and re-flash the phone then manually re-download each app and do not restore anything. if all goes well and it charges like normal then your set and can if you wish restore your old data and/or apps 1 per day till you notice the problem, return if it does.
I did just that. Reflashed a new rom and less drain but its definatly.

My next advice would be to try stock 2.2 for a day or so and see if it has issues. then if its ok try a new stable version of cm7 or miui * different build than previously used* and see if the problem returns.

Ive been thinking of cm7 but the battery life is driving me away. I was able to charge it till like 40% then i unplugged it by accident and I plugged it back in and BOOM battery drain. Its at 0% and will not rise.

If the phone gets hotter than 120° then it wil stop charging and actually dicharge. Make sure your not overcloking or ajything.
My advice on which rom if your not set would be to use trigger. I moved to trigger a long time ago after one of my bionix flashes didnt work quite right and have not looked back yet. I am currently on project v with trigger theme which is a little more like stock but with tweaks than a fully custom rom.
Ok so I got it to charge too 100% overnight and I unplugged it and it went down too 37% instantly. -__- just started working today and this isn't cool. I also left it by a fan so it wasn't hot at all.

In that case I would be sure to flash back to stock clean and then go to a different rom, I suggest Trigger 3.2 very stable in my experience, and charge to 100% and do a battery calibration. Trigger comes with an app to calibrate the battery and be sure its fully charged.

Phone will not charge.

Friend has a my touch and won't charge. Any ideas?

I'm going to go with "something's broken"
Could you give more details? Does the battery not hold a charge? Does the LED indicate that it's trying to charge? Does the phone power on when plugged in? Does it power on when unplugged? Does a different battery charge okay?
Yea I'm guess its a fried emmc. Makes no attempt to charge. No led. Even plugged in can't start or get to boot loaders so shell have to get a replacement.

If the phone won't power on at all when plugged in AND THE BATTERY IS INSERTED (That's important. It won't power on when plugged in with the battery out no matter how well it works.) then the phone is pretty unsaveable.
does the computer see it when you plug it in?

OK so we got it working with a charged battery but doesn't respond to USB at all
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
If it works with a charged battery, and you see no response to USB - then the problem is most likely physical, one of the USB VBUS (power) contacts is disconnected/broken.

i dont think a fried emmc would stop it from charging , my G2 had a bad emmc and it charged perfect , like they said its deffinetly a physical problem , my mytouch 4g has a physical problem too , mine charges but will not mount , and if it does mount it connects and disconnects over and over every 5 seconds

Battery ?

Everyday my battery icon turns gray and a little exclamation mark comes out. When I plug the charger in it just blinks and after a while it begins to charge. Could it be a bad battery?

That's weIrd...have you had any battery life issues? And are you stock or rooted?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I'm rooted. My battery I guess has been fine. It dies quick though. I think I need a new battery... In every Rom I use I end up with the same thing.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I have seen this happen, however, its usually when my phone is plugged in. You see, I have 2 mt4g phones. I leave one plugged in, and when the battery gets low on the one I am using I will go to the one that is plugged in, and remove the battery to switch them, and while the phone is still plugged in, that grey icon will appear. I know it sounds weird but if I remove the battery from my phone while its plugged in, it stays on with that icon you are talking about. So possibly you may have a bad connection with your battery and phone.

Might be your charger but check your battery for bumps in the center if it has a bump its your battery
My charger is fine. I'm sure its the battery. My phone dies so quick

[ Q ] not turning on

So my nexus had been unplugged and without charge for about 3 weeks or so, I've been very busy at work. I try and connect the tablet so that i can use again and the screen flickers for an instant and nothing happens, I don't see the white icon charging animation and no response after that. It's my tablet done or is there a solution for this. Thanks to anybody that can help.

Ok, I don't really know what exactly the problem is. But I think the battery seems to be dead. because if it is still good, at least it shows the indicator light when it's plugged with charger.. If u have a simple tool to test battery energy maybe u can find out. or maybe try another battery..
Leave it plugged into the charger for a good while and then hold down the power button hard, for about 30 seconds. See if that forces it on.
How long did you leave it plugged in for? It may take a few hours...

Try leaving it plugged in overnight. I once had a laptop battery die on me, had to plug it in for like a week before it would turn on again.

Your device is hibernating to prevent further damaging the battery. Plug it in... boot to bootloader... select power off using the volume keys... the tablet will now charge normally

hi
My problem is solved, I have a friend who had the same problems with the tablet Nexus 7 16GB, the back of the unit opens easily with just a fingernail to open a case as remote and actually the battery plug is not fully inserted into the camera, a little bit of nail to reconnect the cable and now my tablet displays well 100% load.
