HD2 Died - Power Problem

Thats right.. last night i left my Leo charging, today when i woke up i noticed that the battery level was very low so.. i unplugged it and plugged it again, noticed that the orange led wasnt lighting up, neither was the phone charging.
The phone gets very very very hot when plugged to charger or USB port on my computer and does not charge at all.
Tried it all, left it all day long with the battery out of the phone, tried charging without it in.. and nothing..it just gets very hot where the connectors (pins) make contact with the battery.
Now im trying to charge the battery on a cradle to flash it with stock rom and SPL to get it to warranty..
Any of you guys has any thoughts?

I see i posted in the wrong section.
Thank u mod

Do you always charge via usb into pc? Is your cradle plugged into the wall or pc? I don't know if you have done this, probably so, but check in windows settings->system->Power and inside the battery tab see if the "When phone is on, do not charge the battery when connected to a PC" is checked.

Yeah.. it crossed my mind to check for it, and that option is unchecked.
Though the charging "orange" led doesnt turn on even if the phone is off.
I usually charge it via usb->pc, allthough i tested with the wall charger and nothing.
I suspect it must have been a power surge that burnt in some way the PBC of the "charging module..thing"
Thanks for the suggestion

i'd check that none of the pins for the battery are in contact with each other if there is heat in that area.

Ok, I'm assuming then that the phone works, but just has low battery at the moment. If that's the case then it doesn't appear to be the battery or the leads. Any chance it's the cable? That of course assumes your using the same one with the cradle. I ask because my device didn't come with a wall charger, just a usb cable so I had to get a few extra plus a wall plug-in with a usb port.

Weird, but unfortunately it didn't. I think being in the US and getting the device from Telstra in Australia may be why I didn't. Well, if it is a hardware problem and you can't get it to charge from the device, I believe you can get a cradle that will allow you to charge the battery independant of the phone. I know it's not the best option on the planet, but it would get your battery where it needs to be to flash and confirm whether or not it's a charging issue with the battery itself.
Come to think of it, this did happen to me several weeks ago. I plugged the phone in before bed as usual and noticed the charging light didn't go on and the battery drained overnight from about 60% to 15%, which it shouldn't have done. Not in standby at least. Soft-reset the next day fixed it. It hasn't done it since. I was installing a bunch of things that evening, which may have been what did it.

I had a same problem with my hd2 and by some miracle and few days of pain
it workd again...and it workd about 5 days and same thing happend al over again...and I think I have solution!
It may be stupid but it work for me...
try to connect your hd2 to charger but without battery and then insert the battery and it should start up your phone and charging...
I apologizes for my poor english

[Q] Battery not charging

My eee pad is not charging.
Its plugged in and everything was working - until this evening when I went to use it.
It had trouble turning back on so I pressed the on button a few times until it turned on. Then when I hooked up the charger I can not get any juice flowing.
Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to call asus until I totally have to.
Thanks!

I checked - the USB 3.0 wire still works. I can connect to my laptop. But my laptop does not have the juice to charge the pad.
Looking for ideas. Anyone know of a 3.0 charger?

So the wall charger doesn't work?

I really wouldn't know, there are a large number of causes. Do you have any wall chargers with USB ports on them for other devices (I have one from my phone) and does that work?

Yeah, it was mentioned in one of the reviews that charging via USB tether doesn't yet work and is planned for a future update. No help to you really, but it's a known problem...

The battery will only charge when using the provide wall plug and no extension cables. I believe it does charge without it if the screen or device is ofg

I tried all the extra chargers I have. Nothing.
But I did get the screen to turn on when I used my OG droid charger.

I have seen somewhere that is is possible to plug the usb connector into the wall wart backwards ( usually will only go in one way). Check to see that you have the plug in the correct way.

I got same problem tonight. any solution?

try separating the two piece of the wall chargers and put them back together. It happened to me once and that's how I fixed it.

Physically impossible without damaging the wall wart. The USB jack is standard, and was specifically designed to prevent being plugged in backwards.

Is it just me, or are they exceptionally hard to take apart and put back together? I was actually scared I was going to break it, joining them, it took so much force. I've not yet dared take them back apart...

the magic works. I did it last night and it didn't work. Tried it this morning and it is charging now.
I don't like the charger. It could be a potential problem in the future. Does anyone know if there is a replacement?

Don't know about not charging bug but wife left it on sleep for long period this morning and it didn't wake up, held power in for 10secs then left it for 10 secs then touch ed power button and it woke up

Eventually i got mine to work. I think it has to do with a bug in sleep mode.

What did you do? If it's off and then turned on, it wouldn't be in sleep anymore so it should work.
What if I did a factory reset? Would that fix it? What happens? Does it revert to original firmware it shipped with even though I did the manual update? F

Well, I couldn't get it to work so I just did a factory reset. It works fine now. Just so everyone knows... the pad kept my new firmware update so I at least didn't have to do that again.

I started having this problem last night. I have the dock also and when I plug it in the red light does not come on. It will not charge the dock or TF. The USB cable works as I connected it to my PC. I tried plugging it in to different wall sockets. I tried using my Droid X charger. I even took the wall charger connector apart and put it back together. Any ideas?

I got the device today, but it does not charge. What should I do?

Well I had with my old phone the same problem but I recognized that there was some dirt in the charging port of the phone.
I removed this with my nail and it worked again.
Probably it won't help you but you'll never know

Try connecting the charge cable to a USB port on your computer for a few hours. You may not see anything right away but eventually the phone will begin to charge.

i got this issue few days back..the charging was slow..cant even reach 100 when im on the phone..its pathetic..swap with my old lg phone model cable bam!the old cable built was much rugged compared to nexus 4..

I have exactly the same problem - when it ran out of power today, it switched itself off normally, and then when I inserted the cable, it didn't charge. not even the battery animation thing came up!
I hope somebody can find a solution.
Oh yeah, and I checked in the port for dust, and used countless alternate wires and power adapters

When you run the battery all the way down it takes a while to start a charge. Just leave it plugged in for a while and it'll go. I'm not sure if it does this every time because I don't drain my phone to 0% but it has happened before on my old phone and I've seen it happen to iphones as well.

Same problem

Did you ever find a solution or send the phone in to LG? I'm having this exact problem right now. I've tried three different micro USB wall chargers for hours at a time as well as charging it through the USB port on my computer. I get absolutely no charge and I have never had any problems at all until last night when it simply would not charge.

Try pressing the power button and immediately the low volume, wait like 3 to 5 seconds and it'll restarts. Not the first time this happens to me and wish to know what's going on! don't know if there's an app that's doing this or hardware issue...

Try cleaning the port like mentioned. There's videos in YouTube

ahh this problem...i had the exact same problem with my gnex...its just that the metal plate of the micro usb port of your phone has bent down a bit which is why it doesnt charge...the easiest way to fix that is to take something flat and lift the metal plate gently..not too much otherwise you'll break it...just lift it up slightly and it should charge normally then...Hopefully :fingers-crossed:

Charging problems - only charging over USB

Hi there,
I have a big problem with charging my Galaxy S4. It only charges with my notebook USB Port, my AC-adapter does not work.
In the battery menu I can see that AC is connected, when I plug my adapter in. But charging does not work with my device.
Over USB I can charge slowly. This isn't a software problem, I have done some resets and firmware changes since the problem.
Maybe my phone got a little bit wet earlier. Could this be the problem? Can I fix this with changing the USB port part of the hardware?

Yes, I tried another cable but had no success

I dunno if I can ask it here, but i don't charge over usb, i mean it just "hold" the power level for me. Is that normal ?
Is your AC outlet working ?

Having issue where S4 only charges with USB and vibrates when using AC charger
I've been having some issues with my S4. I did recently get it a little wet, but it's working fine in all cases except charging. I have my phone next to my bed charging every night. I noticed it was dead one morning, but I figured I didn't connect the charger properly. The next night I noticed it was vibrating every 5 seconds or so, but the phone had turned off due to a low battery. Very strange behavior.
I realized that it would start charging, but it would stop between 1-3 minutes. The the phone would vibrate and not charge.
I've ready MANY posts from others with the same issue and someone mentioned their phone charges over USB. Seemed odd, but I tried it and voila, my phone charged perfectly. I have many samsung cables, none of which work. It's definitely not the cable. I can plug a samsung cable into my phone connected to AC and it doesn't work. I pull the USB portion out of the AC charger and plug into a computer and it immediately and consistently charges. The battery holds its charge as expected, so it doesn't appear to be a battery issue.
I've tried the developer mode options - no luck.
I've tried bending the charging prong - no luck.
I've tried blowing out the charging port with compressed air - no luck.
I recently got an update pushed to my phone (Sprint), but I don't think it was happening right after the update. Seems like a likely software issue.
I did get my phone a little wet recently, actually it was my young children throwing water at me.
I've read so many posts and nobody seems to have a good answer for this issue. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Note 4 charges only via laptop

Hi everyone
A few days ago i would like to charge my note 4 via wall outlet but its doents workd.. i tought the cable was broken or the charger had some issue. At home i changed the cable and the charger and the battery but still didnt charge. The only result is the phone switch between charcge and not charge about a million times in a minute.. when i plug the phone on to the laptop via the same usb cable its start charging..
Im using original cables and chargers
phone is on stock mm
I did a factory reset but not helped
Laptop doesnt recognize the phone but only charge it..
I ve already tried clean the charging port

Probably the charging port module is dead and you have to replace it.
