Hi guys !
I have a problem, i have flashed my phone with cyanogen but during the flash i haven't enough battery and the phone go off, i charge it with a usb cable with the + and - wire plug on the battery, reflash it with rsd lite in stock rom, but now i have the icon of the battery with a "?" on it, what can i do ? I try flash cyanogen but i have too the icon with a "!" this time. I'm not on guarranty.
Sorry for my english.
Thank's.
If i can't do anything, i should sell it for piece, or can i repair it in a shop ?
Try wiping Battery Stats
Have you tried wiping battery stats in CWM? Do you have another battery to test? I think you may have damaged only your battery as the signs that you mentioned are for faulty battery.
u should check with another battery. Get a replacement somewhere (and maybe a wall charger too)
I have try with another battery but that's the same problem ...
Download the "Battery Calibration" by NeMA on the market (i think that it already comes in CM), can the app show your battery level?
You always charge your battery with this "wall charger"? Does the phone charge the battery or it does nothing when plugged to the charger or PC's USB?
Yes battery calibration see the battery level.
No it didn't charge when the phone is pluged on my pc with usb...
I read from a forum somewhere that "!" appears when a non original motorola battery is inserted. Maybe some components in your battery got fried when you wired the battery directly from the usb hence the phone detected the original battery as non original. Then you may have used a non original replacement battery to test on the phone which is the reason why you still got the "!" mark. Try to borrow an original battery from someone else and see if the mark disappears.

Today I had pluged my usb cable in my cell and when I unplug the cable my battery was 30% charged but as soon I unplug the usb cable i got battery low warning and suddenly my cell shutdown. When I start the cell it shows -1% battery and now if I chrage the battery from charger it wont showing charging (animated charging bar) but its actualy charging it very slowly but now if I again plug usb cable and unplug it the cell again shutdown instantly.
I have tried different pcs and cable but the problem still there. Should I hard reset it? I dont install new software or change any settings durring the day.
If there isn't any important data on the phone,yes , you can try the Hard reset,but most probably the cause for not charging, is something else and not the rom (OS),so Hard reseting will not boost up the charging.If the device is not charging ,its rather more of a Hardware issue than a Software. Try to charge with a Wall charger (Mains),if it charges normally,then the fault lies in the usb cable,it might be faulty or try with other usb input port on the pc,but if it still doesn't charge with the Wall charger,than most probably the mini usb port of the phone is faulty or damaged or it might be that the battery is giving upon you.Confirm and check all these options.
I have already tried the external (home) charger and different usb cable and pc.
I cant hardreset as the battery is lower then 50% charged.
Just for your knowledge that the active sync is working fine and ithink mini usb port is not totaly dead,
And the orange light on top is keep blinking when I have plugeed usb cable.
And battery status show +21mA and +68mW only. What it should be?
BTW battery status icon bar keep animating while I have pluged usb cable. does it mean its charging.
Also let you know that this morning my battery last to below 10% charged and after that the problem starts.
And after pluging usb cable for few minutes if i do softreset then after reboot the system shows few % battery charged ( around 10%) but its drains very fast (in 2-5 minutes).

Ah !
So it has gone below the retention charge, required to start the charging circuit ,thats why its not charging.
Now either try to charge with a wall charger capable of out put of 1.0 amp or you need to 'Jump' start the battery.
i dont understand can you explain it a bit more.
This it what he's trying to say:
The battery has a well-documented bug. If you drain it below a certain amount (around 5% IIRC) then it can ONLY be charged from a wall charger, regardless what else the phone says or does. Your symptoms are weirder than usual, but not too surprising.
Replacement batteries are cheap and readily available. Start shopping for a new one while you leave the phone on the wall charger for at least 6 hours, with the phone OFF. This is a last-ditch attempt to recover your battery. If it still misbehaves after that, it's probably toast.
Thanks for explanation.
does the usb cable hack work (connect the red and black cables to battery + and -)?

YUP !
Thats what is 'Jump' start.If the battery is only below the retention charge,it can be very easily recouped by this trick.If it works fine,otherwise get a new battery,many have recovered their batteries by Jump start.

thanks for the link.
OK jump start do the trick (charged the battery) but my phone is still draining the battery very quickly (around 1% a minute) and I havent check the home charger or usb cable charging.

ok,good if it has started to charge,now don't ever let it fall below atleast 30%,how did you charged it if not through home charger or usb cable,get the battery fully cgarged with home mains charger and then check the drainage of the battery.
Secondly,either the battery cells have gone weak and not retaining the charge for long or you are using GPRS more often,coz it drains the battery quite rapidly.it all depends on your usage.
I just charged the battery from naked usb cable and it charged it but the battery drainage problem still presist and if I charge the battery from usb or charger the os dosent shows it charging. I think i should look for new battery.
Can you explain me what kind of battery should i choose for wizard as here too many local batteries are available and I dont know about correct specs for battery like mah, mwh, volt, etc and kindly also let me know I also doubt on my home charger what kind of charger should I get (mah, mwh, volt, amp)?
BTW I dont fully charge (100%) the battery yet, do i still need a one full charge and I also dont shock the battery by 1amp charger aswell.

Yes ! you must first fully charge the battery and than check the drainage.
Secondly I can't recommend any specific battery,check the specifications on the battery and verify it.
If the home charger is doubtful,you shud get an original PDA phone charger capable of 1.00 amp out put.
ok I also don't able to installnew rom on it, its giving me erorr that phone is not connected to usb cable etc.
Now the active sync is not bieng connecting too and I think now my mini usb port is faulty is it repairable?

Yes it is repairable or replaceable for that you'll have to contact the cellular company from whom you bought the phone,if its still under warranty. Otherwise get it repaired from any mobile repair shop.
ok may I know from where you belong?

Reflash your Rom. Its charging but the icon isnt showing
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Try to remove battery and insert it after some minutes and charge. Maybe this can help. have you ever seen a phone drop 100% of battery in 8 hours without using lol.
EDIT: Repair phone can solve this (using SEUS or PC Companion not FlashTool)
Later I try reflash...
Any more suggest...
Reflash Rom also cant charge a.......
how????
If i'm not mistaken you cannot fully drain a Li-Po battery without damaging it.
I have a suggestion.
Take out your battery.
Plug in your charger first, then place it back in. It should show an orange LED instead of RED and surprisingly your battery shows more than half.
Leave it for 5 minutes and do make sure your battery does not overheat.
Then disconnect charger, take out battery, put it back in, then charge properly. it should go back to <10% now.

help help......
i bought it from hours , and i forgot to charge the battery and make it full
got some errors while flashing and hacking it after that i tried to restart by
removing the batt and put it again but Unfortunately it never opened again it's
dead now even with charger or the usb cable ...
any help please?
Sorry bit if your battery died while you were flashing, it is very possible that you hard bricked your device. Please post back with what percent it was on when it died. Maybe XDA Senior Member Samsamuel can give you a better clue if you post this info.
Anyway if it is hard bricked you will have to have it JTAGed or ha e the main board replaced.
i think it was 40% i guess .. i don't care much about the battery , I WANNA USE THE PHONE
Flashing usually only uses 2-3%, I've flashed with less than 10% charge loads of times.
More importantly would be what rom did you flash?
Tmous or regular hd2?
Have you checked the battery pins very carefully?
no it's regular HD2 , i was partitioning CLK ..
if it's not that important , what else could cause this problem ?
about the pins no i didn't
Please any help ?

Buy an external battery charger, the ones you charge off mains. Charge your battery off that and then see if the device turns on?
... or, if you have a spare USB lead, any type, cut end off, bare red and black,hold red to + and black to - on battery, plug into wall charger and hold onto the terminals for about a mninute which should give it enough power to turn on, and if it does turn on get the real cable plugged in quick.
I have a very strange problem:
Yesterday my defy had about 50% of battery, and I left it charging. When I came back, the phone was off, and when I tried to boot it up it showed the typical charging screen showing 5%. Thinking it was a battery drain, I left it charging an hour or so, but it stayed at 5%.
I tried with other chargers, connecting it to the pc, but there's no way of charging it. I also tried charging it with this trick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026 with no result.
I can get to recovery, but not past it, as it goes to the battery charging screen.
The weirdest thing is that connecting the peeled off usb cable directly to the battery connectors on the phone I can't boot the phone, so my guess is the phone can't take power from the battery connectors, only from the micro usb port..
At this point I want to send the phone to the tech service, because it is still in warranty, but I should flash the original sbf first. But I can't do this because the bootloader says cannot program battery low.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you if you read it all, and sorry for my english
Hey Guys,
I bricked my phone at with 1% battery, so i could not charge the battery and neither could i reflash the phone due to the "Low Battery Error".
So i managed to open up a Micro USB cable and flash the phone using terminals of the wire to simulate a battery.
But this has caused a new error to pop up i.e the Battery Unknown Error, hence the battery does not charge up and i am unable to use the phone.
The battery can be charged using the USB to computer but it takes about 2.5 hrs to charge to a bootable level then it boots up and discharges and shuts down again. But even when it boots up it the battery still stats Battery Unknown.
Has anyone experience such an issue with a low battery brick and then a battery unknown error.
Thank you
HSR
You probably fried your battery. Buy or try out a new one!

No, you don't fried your battery but you can do a damage to the motherboard circuitry which is worst. Hopping that you didn't damage the motherboard try to wipe battery stat, wipe data/cache and flash a stock rom.
