did you try another battery in your uni? also did you try tapeing the pin on the battery that reads the voltage level?

according to the universal service manaul flowchart, a redlight indicated bad battery>bad battery pins>shot motherboard.
so i don't think this is good. anyone got any..thoughts on figuring out WHAT exactly happened?

Hi
thanks for the input
will you please guide how I can tape the pin on the battery that reads the voltage level
many thanks

...almost the same.
my problem occurred after I did a soft reset. It took it a while to boot and every other time I used soft reset the boot took longer and longer until it did not want to turn on again.
Soft reset doesn't work but when it's left on the charger and pressed, the battery light blinks once. It won't charge and my PC registers a device malfunction when connected through USB.
The only sign of life pops up when I press hard reset but after I press 0 or X nothing happens.
Please help!

I have same problem as well, I even bought spare battery but uni remains dead and silent.
Beside the fact that when it's connected to PC, windows show unrecognized usb device.

what happened before it died? did you ... do anything to it? mines still dead as a doornail.

I am not alone :'(
It means many other fellows are suffering from same.
strange , total silence from experienced guys... atleast they can say it is useless for you to try.. and now dig a grave for it.

Experienced guys have their own lives too
Wait with patience till someone replies you and do not double post on same topic please

Anoying bug or Falty phone

Hey Ive got two really annoying problems I was wondering if anyone had a fix or can tell me my phone is falty. And if they have tried the "leaked" froyo has it been fixed so I dont have to send of my phone.
1. Sometimes when I turn off my phone, when I try turning it back on it appears with the loading circle for a few seconds and then turns off again, I cant get my phone to turn on again until I charge it or connect it via usb then when the battery symbol is on press the power button.
2. USB connected on the notification bar when it isnt connected

1) the phone went into full shutdown, if you see that battery charging screen
2) definitely a defective phone, take it back to the store for an exchange, it should not be doing that at all

Thanks I will get it sorted but #1 happens when i have quite a lot of battery , When I shut down to say restart it wont turn back on.

that's is another reason why it's not good, it should not be doing that (defective)
when it goes to sleep mode, it should not turn off completely
on a normal phone, when it goes into sleep m ode, you can still charge the phone, without the battery bar thing showing up

Ok thanks yer if you havnt heard of it I better get it sorted quickly I should be still in the 28 day period so should eb a straight swap thanks.

I've had these issues also, its not because its a defective phone. Just bugs somewhere. I only had them on a certain firmware, no idea which one now but flashing to a new firmware and resetting the phone and they have both gone.
I use to get the usb connected continuosly cycling as if i was connecting it and then unplugging it etc etc even though of course it wasn't even plugged in.
I'd simply just reflash the phone or reset it, bet it will fix it.
There are so many little bugs in these firmware versions.

While phone is off do the following:
1. Press volume down button and power off button both together till you see Android Robot with (!) Exclamation mark;
2. Now release both keys and press volume keys (both up and down volume keys together);
3. This will show you Stock Recovery;
4. Now from volume down key select "wipe Data" and execute it with power key;
5. Now select Reboot.
This will probably resolve the issue. However, if the issue still persists then you need to use RSD lite to flash your phone with the some Froyo SBF.
For more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
[Note: To enter bootloader menu so that RSD lite recognize your phone you need to have its USB drivers installed on your system and while booting you need to press Volume Up key and Power key together while phone is off to enter Bootloader menu to flash with SBF.]
Hope this helps!!
ATB!!

Why?
Cause a damaged OS, cannot charge your battery. you must pull your battery out of defy and charge the battery externally.
Or you buy a new battery, or let charge your old battery by a cellphone-seller, or asks a friend of yours with a defy to charge your battery for you etc.
Have u checked the voltage of your battery, it must be 4,1 V if the battery is fully charged.
I think esok44 is right your battery is empty, there is not enough power in it to start your defy.

i just tried the usb modification to connect it to the battery directly,,done all the steps as told ... nothing!!!
i'm really getting frustrated cuz its been like this for the past one week,,i've tried everything
don't have any friends with defy phone...
can't think of anything else to do but to brake the phone

well if everything fails, give it to motorola...
if it really is broken and everything fails, then try it.
would be the last option for me, but at least it is one...
But as is said, had the same problem and in may case it worked...
i've read on xda about an usb-manipulation to flash sbf when battery is empty, maybe you could try this...
I'll add a link to it
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489289

i have encountered this problem previously and the solution was replacing the battery, as RATTAR said the battery is not charged. try to charge your battery or try another charger, once it's charged rsd will recognize it. don't panic or despair.

N4 Bricked!! No responses! Just red led when I plug in to AC/USB

Hello guys, first than nothing, sorry for my bad english, isnt my native languaje. I got this problem yesterday in the night of the new year!!!!!!!:crying: I was rooted, using Xylon and Faux Kernel, but the problem appears from nothing!!
The first thing that I detected was, the phone take a WHILE!!! for charge.... then, out of the power, the phone get overheating and discharging so fast, never in life that happends, when N4 got discharged i try to turn on again but download mode appers in the screen, finally I get in the recovery, then I did a wipe cache/system and factory reset. Install again the Xylon... but when phone finally turns off, when I plugged in to AC absolutelly nothing happends, the led just turn in red, and the N4 dont start in FB, dont get charge, dont do a sh*t !!!! I conect it to the PC but also nothing appends, the N4 doesnt appear in my device list.
So... my N4 its broken?

There was possibly something wrong with the kernel and rom combination that caused your phone to overheat. I think eventually the heat may have damaged your hardware. Sorry but, if something was wrong in the first place it was not a good idea to reinstall the same thing that was causing the problem, if I were you I would have flashed a stock ROM. My only advice now would be to RMA it and pray
EDIT: I found this if it helps at all:
If you are unable to access the settings menu of your device, you can still reset your phone by performing a Hard Reset. Here are the instructions:
If your phone is on, power it off.
Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.
Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it.
Note: If at any point during the above steps your phone becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the power button for several seconds.

Before you try anything else, try and leaving it plugged in for a while and then try turning it on. Or leave it plugged in to a computer then try turning it on.

Try this. I haven't had it happen to me, but I do have a friend who this exact same thing happened and he thought it was bricked. He left it plugged into AC over night, and in the morning it would turn back on.

First than nothing, thanks for reply, I appreciate your intentions to help me.
I will leave it charging all the night and while Im working too... I hope after that, the phone at least turn on.
I dont install the STOCK ROM because I dont have it in my internal memory and I was in my girlfriend house, the night of the 12/31/12, there is not much to do...
I did the same post, but a little bit more explained

It could be bad battery, how long did bought of you had working phone, how many times did you charge?
Did you use out of the box charger?
Did you have problems with usb jack?

I bought it the 13/nov..
I received it 29/nov.
I ALWAYS use stock charger, only 1 time i try to charge it in my car, but it was less thant 5 minutes, I decided dont charge with the car because the energy variates when I accelerate...
After that, I use my phone quiet normal.

I had this problem with my nexus 7. I think my battery died all the way and it couldn't charge. The stick charger wasn't doing anything. But I plugged it into my computer for a few minutes and tried turning it on. Then when the loading screen appeared I ran it to it's stock charger and charged it to full. Your battery probably died. Try different combinations of ways to get it to take a charge. Just long enough to turn on then plug it into its charger. Though the overheating could have fried it
