Make sure your laptop is plugged in & charging as well, otherwise I don't think it will work.

Make sure you have the drivers installed as well. I read in the motorola site somewhere that the computer won't charge unless the drivers are installed. Also it charges much slower than the wall outlet does.

Usr USB 3.0 port if your laptop has one so it supplies more power. USB 3.0 will charge almost as fast as AC.

Just let it be. it won't turn on if the battery is below a certain level. Let it sit and charge and it will eventually turn on.

Here we go again.. Only the 1,500th time this has come up..

yes.. Have you been flashing ?
And if it stucked on bootloader you will need factory cable...
Or ..
You can buy a charge only cable just like me, from ebay.. Very cheap.. The phone can boot without even battery! That's why it can be charged if you stucked o bootloader!

This happened to me and you need to plug it in an AC wall charger I left mine on a usb for like 3 hours and it did nothing but on an AC wall charger it took 5-10 mins then it terned on. Hope this helps.

You returned it because of battery life?. What do you mean?.
I tought you returned the phone because of the locked bootloader and because its a bit easy to brick it.

I respect your work but don't give absurd reasons for returning your phone.

Is this my charger or my port causing this?

It's hard to say. It could be either. Does the phone ever charge up at all? (when it's powered down?). If not, I would first try another charger cable, to rule that out. If that doesn't solve it, then I'd be suspicious of the charge port, and most likely take it in to sprint. A little more info would be good.

There is a known issue with Evo charger its referred to as -charging port durability by Sprint- take it to a repair store and if you have any issues ask if it is part of the above know issue. This does not apply if its been pulled out by physical damage.

Yes but when the phone is completely shut off and it's plugged in, does the charging light come on and stay on?

It's your charger more likely cus it happened to me with a cheap charger. So I think its your charger. But if your using a legit charger from like sprint/htc, then something is wrong. I only use HTC chargers.

This same thing happened to me, took it to a sprint repair center. They gave me a new USB cable and cleaned the port on my phone. Worked like new after that.

What rom are u on? I'm cm7 and it does the same thing when I'm using the phone while on the charger. As soon as I turn of the screen my battery begins to fill up.

Does it do it on Factory UNrooted? If so, I'd say take it back to sprint while it's unrooted and on the factory stock rom and have them replace or fix it
I had the same problem with a refurb I got that replaced my original Evo. It worked fine for a week or two, then one night, I plugged it in as usual and woke up the next morning with a battery on the verge of dying. The charging light was even still orange when plugged in. I tried every charger I had (evo original, BlackBerry, Samsung, Sprint car charger...) to no avail. Charging with a wall adaptor and USB port on computer yielded the same lackluster results. It did this when rooted and not, with custom and stock roms, and didn't change with kernels. I ended up having to charge my spare battery with a wall charger for the battery and switch every hour or two. I went to the store and they looked at it and gave me 2 new batteries and a new charger (for palm pre) and tried to send me on my way. I plugged the charger into the wall at the store and showed the repair person that it was still losing battery while plugged in and "charging". Needless to say, I got another refurb right away that didn't do the same thing.
Bring it in to the store and get yourself a "new" phone. It worries me a bit that they might be pushing these refurbs out to stores a bit to quickly.

Also it would be good idea to unroot and reflash stock recovery if you changed it to restore the warranty of your tablet while you still have some power left in the battery (enough to be able to do that of course). That is if you are sure your charger works and the problem is in the a500.

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

Go to settings, Battery and see if it says AC charging or USB charging. Plug your phone in, try to play some games for a few mins then go back into the battery and see if its in AC or USB charging and if it has charged of discharged. Basically if the phone is in USB charging it is possible for it to lose charge or not charge at all. I had the same problem with my phone as it would not do AC charging, I tried it with another charger and it worked fine for a few weeks, I called google and they said it was a problem with the battery (not the charger) and they set up an RMA.

This might help if you hold the power for a long time it should power on, if you have warranty you could send it in? Good luck........

Leave it charging for a good couple hours. It sounds like you really run it dry. And when in bootloader... You can literally run it dry. Always charge around 5% I would say.

A lot of people are having a problem with the battery wire. Kind of a longshot , but if you open it up, the cord to the battery might be loose. I would look it up a bit more but a ton of users are having that issue.
