Let me start by apologizing if this has been addressed, but I wasn't able to find how to fix this. I'm new to Android flashing but finally decided to after Kies made me want...well, ya know.
Took a bit of work but I was able to get the Nero 5 rom installed. Problem is that when I plug it in to charge it it won't charge. the screen goes black and the large battery icon shows (like out would if you plugged it in without a charge). It then seems to cycle between a "waiting" icon and the battery icon and won't charge.
I've tried rebooting, taking battery out and even reinstalling rom, but get the danger problem. I'm now at about 5% battery life and no idea what to do.
Can anyone help?
Try asking in Vibrant section in the Nero post section .

Hi, I have flashed my phone into the Nighty CM7, I finished setting up and restoring my apps, then I wanted to boot into ClockWork Recovery so that I can backup my rom.
However I ended up with a dead reboot, its stuck at the M Logo. I waited till my battery died. I charged the phone for a night, and I ended up with the big battery sign with a QUESTION mark in it, the light beside the USB Port wont let up.
I connect it to my computer using the USB Cable, the Light beside the port lit up, but it wont charge nor boot, I tried to put my phone into RSD Mode so that I can flash my stock rom again, however it says "Battery Low Cannot Programm" and turns back off. I cannot put it into Recovery Mode by holding x and the power button.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME? I CANT USE MY PHONE?

Ok, to be honest, this was stupid. Your first step is now get battery charged.
You have following options:
charge it in alive Milestone 2
charge it in some universal battery charger
charge it via wires (yes, it sounds risky and definitely it is not too good for battery life, but someone here successfully done it) - manual attach wires with coresponding voltage and give it few minutes - only to hold charge few minutes for RSDLite... Or you can maybe bypass battery and put wires directly on phone - but this is really risky and I dont recommend it.
Of course - best option is #1 or #2... But you can't do anything without charged battery...

it doesnt work when the battry is charged charged, thats why i waited till the battery to die untill i start over again. I have looked online and dont think this is really a battery problem~
Look at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19197228 - I think it's the same situation. You have to charge the battery to use RSDLite.
tl;dr Low battery = "Battery Low Cannot Program", charged battery = "Battery OK / OK to program" in RSDLite.. so...
sorry, how am i suppose to charge it? it wont charge, so i need a battery charger instead of charging it through the phone?
Yep, you can't charge your battery (in your phone) when you have bricked phone (thats why I said it wasn't good to let it die, because now you have one more problem - how to charge this battery)
And I wrote how to charge it in my post #1 - basically you have two options: universal battery charger (charger, where you put battery and it will charge it) or another (working/alive) Milestone 2...
great i got another ms2's battery to boot into recovery mode (rsd mode works too) thanks, i am a noob
No problem man, everyone makes mistakes time to time
It's good to see it solved and alive
well its still sbf-ing, one thing i notice is that its taking longer than usual, but i think it will work, thanks again
Your lucky then! I don't know anyone with an ms2 so had to go macgiver style and charge the battery directly with wires. I swear the battery has never been the same since, although every battery/system tool claims the battery health to be "good"

Maybe you should download battery calibration app?
Sent from my MZ601 using XDA Premium App
If you're refering to me - I've done that already and no luck
I've tried every trick on battery calibration I've found on this site and google searches and it never shows any noticable improvement.
So now I'm just more vigilant with battery saving tricks
Thanks for trying to help either way

Okay everyone.
I have a huge problem.
Yesterday I flashed the CM9 5th March Quarx ROM on my Defy Red Lense with the CM9 Kernel.
Everything went through fine, and I loved it.
Today, I was using my phone to have it suddenly reboot.
I think, well OK must be a bug or something. So then this weird thing comes up - where the battery icon would normally be is a question mark in the battery.
I thought my phone was fully charged when it crashed, so I pull out the battery and put it in again. Then I try to boot again. Doesn't work.
So I plug in the charger, and it boots, but the question mark is still there.
Same thing.
Then I try to get into 2nd init, works fine. I can access everything, save for stock recovery, which, when I select, just leaves me on red Motorola Logo.
I tried to do factory reset, but leaves me on question mark.
The other thing is, there is an option in 2nd Init called 2nd Boot. I tried booting with this and it presents me with a screwed up version of CM9. I get the boot logo for ages - like its starting up for the first time, and then always the android intro. Wifi doesnt work, neither does cell reception.
When I unplug charger, dies.
When I start again, all data wiped and same intro screen again.
This problem is also here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537083
Noone really helped, so hopefully I get some help here!
Thanks
Hello everyone and me.
So i've been working on my problem for ages now.
One thing that seems to have made it better is that I found out its the fact that the battery is flat - you will get battery is low cannot program in bootloader.
The fix is to get someone elses battery or charge yours somehow - i'm gonna avoid playing mcgyver, for the sole reason that if you plug it into you computer, it will trickle charge. This won't happen with anything else.
SO
-Plug into computer
-White LED will go
-Phone wont show anything
-Leave for ages
-Then press on, and it will burst into life, hopefully enough time to sort out boot, and then plug into mains charger
-HASNT WORKED FOR ME COMPLETELY YET
must..be..patient..
You might have installed the defy+ version with GB kernel, for which you need Battery fix to be flashed, after this every thing should be normal, once I did the same thing when I first tried CM9, i observed that battery is not updating at all, and all of sudden phone is dead and when I plugged the charger, theres a just question mark.
I just kept the phone for charging, but hardly it went up for about 5%, then i restored my old nandroid backup. So the phone booted up correctly, after that i installed CM9 and then battery fix, then after its working flawlessly.
This is a link to battery fix of Auris.

THANKS!
Awesome!
Thanks so much, its great to have helpful people on this site.
This is exactly what i've done, didn't know about battery.
I'll try it now!
You can as well install walter79 kernel 4.5.2-109_DHT-22 for better battery. I installed it and runnng fine with good battery life.
You can see how CM9 kernel is performing for 1 or 2 days, then you can flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=804956&d=1323018232 this kernel and see. You dont need to install battery patch with walter79 kernel. Enjoy!
Hi Guys,
Since a few weeks I have a weird problem with my u8800. The first thing I noticed was that the phone didn't charge properly; after a night of charging it would still not be fully charged. I thought it would be the battery that died (tho that would be a bit quick after half a year) so I replaced it with a replacement battery. This battery showed the same behaviour within a few days. Then I replaced the charger for another one; this kept things working for some time but eventually the problem returned. I also tried Wipe Battery Stats to no avail.
What's wrong? I dont't get it. If the phone's on the charger now, the red light is blinking. It doesn't charge beyond 3% so I can never take it off the charger.
I have Aurora ICS since a few months, keeping in pace with updates.
Any help would be very welcome cause this thing makes it impossible to use the phone as a mobile phone..
Install the official android 2.2 and see if the problem persists
Wipe the battery stats (in recovery). Afterwards try to fully reload the battery (even if it keeps blinking red) and keep it on the charger for 1-2 more hours. Then disconnect the charger and do not reload the battery until the phone turns itself off. Charge it fully one more time.
After following this procedure your battery should be fine. If wiping the battery stats in recovery does not work, there should be a program on the market which does the same.
If the procedure does not resolve the problem please send the device in for repair. If the battery charge does not go up to 100% after following the procedure please do the same. This is a hardware error.

Hi,
I wiped battery stats but charging won't go beyond 5%. What is the name of the app you talk about?
FORGET wipe battery stats, everyone knows that is placebo!!

I would do that, but it seems risky on a battery with only 5% accu left. AFAIK you cant do these operations with the usb connection as power source right?

Plug your phone to the charger (not usb) and you shouldn't have problems...
But how do I flash 2.2 without usb connection?
Format sdcard and put update on it with some adapter or go CWM > mounts and storage > USB mount.

Put update file into the sdcard/internal card, plug the phone to the charger, and start the update by simply press Vol+, Vol- and Power.
Simple

Sorry for asking, but is there any clear reason why you guys expect flashing 2.2 might help? I ask because I expect this will cost me quite some time and I am trying to see what my succes chance is.
And, do you think I would be able to go back to Aurora ICS after flashing 2.2? I wouldn't want te be stuck on 2.2..
Thanks!

Because 2.2 is the most stable rom/kernel. This way you can see if the problem is with your actual Aurora, or it's an hardware problem.
And yes, if you flash 2.2 you can go again to 2.3 and then flash Aurora ICS.
And please, read/search a little bit on the forum before placing those questions. Those questions have been answered a million times!

Not everyone knows that, at least I did not. I thought that maybe the ROM just wasn't showing the information correctly and therefore suggested wiping the stats. But if it does not work, forget it.
In this case flashing a different ROM won't help. A battery that cannot be loaded is a hardware defect - there has not been a single report that switching to Android 3 or 4 leads to this problem. The charging of the battery is only hardware-related (if it was software-related you would not be able to charge your phone when it is turned off!) and therefore the only possibility is that the device is defect.

This is wrong as I just explained. The charging process does not depend on Android or any software the OP could modify/change.

As I said, it is one of two: it could be a problem with Aurora installation or an hardware problem.
Install 2.2. If it is a rom problem, it should work right with 2.2 (it could be some kind of problem during the installation that have corrupted some files.)
If it is an hardware problem, it'll continue to have the problem. Simple

Please read once more; I stated why the Aurora installation has nothing to do with this. I cannot explain this better than I already did, but I'll try again if there is something confusing.

I don't have this problem with X5, but I've tried to fix it on a friend's other android model.
The behaviour was similar, the battery never goes to 100 % and can show from 80% 1% after minutes, and phone deactivated.
First I thought that was rom' s problem(had a CM7 custom rom), so I made a full wipe.
Problem doesn' t solved. After I changed the rom with another one(Ligux), but problem still there. Then I tried to charge it with another cable and without to power on. No difference.
So, I've flash the official rom. After that I managed to charge it normally until 100%. And seems that working fine now. The official roms change more things on the device than any custom, and seems that this problem caused from another part of the software which doesn't belong to system or boot.img(these are the parts which custom roms usually replace).
If you read the official PDF file that comes with stock roms it actually specifies that you should REMOVE THE BATTERY and connect it directly via USB while flashing the ROM So 5% charge is not even needed, just remove the battery and flash a stock rom!
OK, somehow the problem spontaneously solved itself and my phone worked fine for some time. But now it's back unfortunately. This time however I saw how it started. I think this is what happens: the battery goes too empty. So the phone crashes because of that (no proper shutdown). Then when putting it on the charger it sees the battery that is too empty as a faulty battery (indicated by the red blinking led, no charging animation visible). The phone won't power on.
There's a trick to get it to turn on though: remove the battery, plug in the power cable and it turns on. As soon as the Huawei logo appears put the battery back in (or a boot loop will happen). Then, there's a chance it will start charging again (though sometimes that only happens after many attempts).
Now the question is, why does it go too empty and is it possible to prevent this?
Hi,
recently I am experiencing this deadly problem .
my battery drains completely to the amount that phone can't even boot . biggest problem is that its like phone is not accepting charge . after it loses all the charge,it turns off . when I connect charger it vibrates randomly . it feels like battery doesn't even have the charge to load that Lenovo battery charging animation page(while switched off ). phone goes to soft brick stage .after a few vibrations(I think phone is vibrating one time before loading battery charging page ,phone can't even load that charging page ,may be due to very low charge .so it vibrates and attempts to load battery charging page,and it goes off . again vibrates... somehow it recovers from the loop after some time )it loads battery charging page , and would stuck at 2%,or 8% etc... after long some 6-8 hours phone regains control and charge normally and everything coming to normal .I can't figure out what this problem is . only thing I figured out is that this happens when phone reaches a certain low battery percentage like below 20% .
after that phone will not accept charge until it goes off and all the above things ...
pls someone look into this matter ,may be someone else might have experienced this or someone can give me a clue
This problem has been faced by many users, including me. I thought it was only me, until one of my friends faced it too. Apparently, there might be a problem with battery stats. If you charge when it is fully drained, It will vibrate a few times. This happens because, the phone always keeps 2% of battery for the offline charging screen to load(the charging screen while off). But when the phone's battery is fully drained to 0% then it will vibrate and stays like that before it can switch on. So to solve this, charge the phone and leave it like that until its fully charged or like when you feel it is stuck(while the phone is switched off only). Then switch it on, and fully drain it again. Now once again charge the phone and leave it. Then drain. Do not remove until the phone until it shows 100%. Repeat this few times. This is actually to calibrate the battery stats. Now you'll see that battery charges properly.

Are you on stock or custom rom? If you are on custom rom, you can enable usb fast charging and charge it with computer. It helped me.

No. It's not rom related issue. Each rom has some unique capability. Any rom is good. You can use Kernel Auditor to enable usb fast charge and charge the phone with any computer. This will work on any rom which has a kernel which supports usb fast charge
hii, guys i have problem too, unfortunately from yesterday, my phone doesn't charge but it is charging but not showing, it stucks to 42% and usb/Mtp is not recognized after plugin to pc.. i had shown all by pc side there is no problem in my pc but there is problem resides in my phone by the way i am on stock rom, pls help guyss to get rid out of this.
