When on battery power, it boots just fine. But if I plug it in, it shows the moto boot screen, and stays on it forever - and while it's on that screen, the battery isn't charging. I have to unplug it, take the battery out, then boot up without plugging it in. That itself isn't a problem...just a pain.
The problem is when my battery is too low to boot without plugging it in. I can't boot it up on battery power, and I can't charge the battery by plugging it in.
I finally got it to work by borrowing a friend's wall-mounted external battery charger and got the phone up and running. But what the hell do I do for next time?
Also, I installed CWM and it doesn't work, ironically, because CWM requires power to boot into recovery, and my phone won't boot at all when plugged in. The normal recovery has never worked on the phone, since its unboxing, and I'm starting to get pissed about this lack of recovery. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Are you using a USB port to charge?

I've tried USB and a wall charger. When plugged into USB, it turns on but will not enter CWM still. When connected to a wall charger, it stays at the Moto screen forever, charging.
When the phone is switched off and plugged to the wall charger you need to do a long press on the power switch till you will see the Motorola logo again. Once the phone is fully booted it will start charging again (still plugged to the wall charger of course).

Hello. I've bought today broken Typhoon. It doesn't turn on, but when i connected cables to the battery and then put battery in and hold a switch, red light appeared under the power button and sometimes display lighted white. When i'm plugging in charger, red light under the power button also appears. Any ideas, how is it broken? what should i do to repair it? help me please
which charger? the one that plugs into the wall or a usb cable that plugs into your computer? If it's into the computer, or not the wall plug that came with the phoen, then it's possible your battery is completely drained dead. When the battery is extra super low, the usb and some other chargers don't have the juice to charge it. You have to have the right wall plug charger i've found.
i'm hopin that's the thing....plug it in, charge it for a bit then try again. Also, once you get juice in there, plug it into the usb port on your computer and hit the camera button. that should jack it into the boot loader mode.

The batteries do die totally over time especially if they are charged from part full and never allowed to totally discharge. Do the do as described and if that doesn't work there are 10 on UK eBay right now one with 256Mb card for £25.00, you can't say fairer than that
Battery is too low in order to initialize the charging process.
Just plug in and plug out the wall charger until the LED turns orange.
My Nook Color quit unexpectedly on my because of a dead battery. I have been charging it for a day with various non OEM chargers. Previously when something similar happened I could plug it into my computer and it would charge without booting, but it no longer does this. When it boots it takes too much battery and it quits before it boots. Help!
You need an OEM charger.
Could also try finding the shortest uUSB cable you have and let it charge from the PC overnight.
So is that trick to charging a Nook when the battery goes completely dead? I've let this happen a few times, and I've always found it difficult to get charging cause it starts to boot and shows a message about not enough power, and just hangs there, but doesn't apparently charge.
I've got mine in that state right now, and since I found this thread I plugged into the OEM charger using the OEM cable. With that combo, it didn't start up. Handy thing to know. Kind of annoying though because when I'm traveling I'd like to just take one cable along for phone and Nook. I'll just have to be sure and not kill the battery then.
Nexus just died on me last night, out of nothing at all.
Plug the charger into USB, out for a bath and N4 give me a welcome with solid RED notification light. Unplug the charger RED light gone, but phone won't have any response no matter what key combination i press.
No fastboot, no bootloader, no charging animation, just a piece of brick with RED light when connected to USB power. Have tried to remove the battery connection and reconnect but yield the same.
Anyone have similar case? All the search i found is blinking RED light, unlike mine with a solid "RED mean STOP"
Plug it into the mains and let it gain power for a bit.. Battery might be completely depleted

Have leave it charge overnight, however still the same when i woke up this morning.
One thing i forget to mention, when i unplug the battery pin and put in USB cable, the same solid RED light appear, wondering is this having to deal with battery not receiving/release charge

It was plugged in the USB all night, or AC power?

AC, original charger.
This is so weird that i have idea what have went wrong, worst case scenario it should have boot up to bootloader even if kernel / ROM went wrong, but haven't flash anything new for the past few days.
When I plug charger LED blinks for a second and turns off, when I charged battery manually by putting the cables to V+ and V- for 5minutes the system booted, battery was at 20% and shows device is plugged in, but it's not charging it actually. While device stayed on cable for all night it was still 20% in the morning but as soon I disconnected it and battery went to 18% I plugged it back, after 2 hours it was still at 18%. system recognizes charger but not charging. I've also changed cable, adapter, replaced USB port and battery, but that didn't work. Now I have empty battery and it won't turn on for charging even in bootloader mode, as soon I turn recovery mode on it, device turns off and won't turn on again.
What's wrong? Is it motherboard problem and will repair cost more than new device?
Ok, seems the issue resolved when I disassebly phone completely and reassembled it, weird and a signal for phone replacement I guess.
If I power off my P8 (L09, B370) while it's plugged into a USB power source, it immediately turns itself back on again.
If I power off while unplugged, it turns back on as soon as I plug it in.
I've tried powering off from system, from TWRP, and from fastboot, all with the same result.
I've tried the original factory USB cable and various other cables.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I really need to calibrate the battery, which requires charging while powered off.
Thanks!

I think this is normal behaviour. If you start charging, then power off, the phone will not boot up. I think battery calibration is a bit overrated, fully charging, fully draining and then fully charging again should work.
