I did something bad today.
I was installing a new Cm7 Nightly, but my phone was charging, and i had the stupid idea to after wipe dalvik and cache, to wipe battery stats also.
Now the phone does not charge, and shows only a ? on battery when trying to charge.
It does not go on boot since it apparently says to the phone the battery has no charge.
Also now it might be true, since i kept trying and the charge's gone now.
I can still get into bootmenu/recovery, but i dont know what else to do.
I dont wanna have to macgyver it again.
Can anyone point me to a direction of what should i do?
Thank you in advance.
i had this the other day flashing the eclair sbf. flashed it a second time and it returned to normal.
your phone charges. dont worry about that. if youre unsure then turn off your phone and watch the white light indicate a charging state, youll be good.
in the mean time. try installing a battery calibrator. that might do something.

Thank you for the answer.
I think its this version of maniac that is kinda bugged.
I got it to work doing a full wipe and installing another nightly.
That got my battery stats on the track and it began charging again.

Hi guys i have been having a very strange problem with my Legend, it only ever charges to 80% no matter how long you keep it on charge!
I factory reset it and it still kept doing the same thing, so i took it in for repair and they updated my firmware then factory reset and said it worked, i came home put my apps back on and now still the same problem!
I have found that if i take the battery out of the phone overnight then put it back in it will fully charge and the green light will light up, or if it hasnt charged overnight and i turn the phone off then take the battery out and put it back in it will register that its fully charged!
I turn off wifi and 3g and everything while i charge it so i cant seem to understand whats causing this?
any help would be appreciated!
Cheers
maybe your battery is corrupted... try to replace the battery and see if any changes appear
my battery is fine, i have already tryed with another one!
any other ideas as to why???

Have you tried resetting your battery stats? That could be an issue. If you have root, launch ClockworkMod recovery and find the "reset battery stats" option. Use it and try a full charge.
If that doesn't work then perhaps something in your phone's hardware is borked. If that's the case you should send for a replacement if you can.
As the title says I have a strange yet very annoying problem. I am running my HD2 with hyperdroid cm7 Nand build (from april 29th). The problem is that when my battery is deleted, as is the case now, and I put my hd2 in the charger it will automatically boot. I think this is due to a setting or something. However since booting drains energy faster than the hd2 charges, the phone will by turned of before it has completely booted. After a while it get's stuck in a pattern of starting to boot and turning of. I don't know why this is the case because I think my phone just used to boot fine before when connected to a charger.
So my questions are:
1. does anyone has a suggestion how to turn on the phone?
2. this automatic booting, can it be turned off?
3. Why is it actually happening?
Maybe it's a very stupid or obvious problem, but I hope someone can help me though.
Do you have installed MGLRD?, it's a Known fact, search in the forum for answer (I'm sorry, I'm with SD Builds and don't use MGLRD, so I can not help you anymore).
I had the same problem with some rom i used earlier. The only way i could solve the issue was to remove the battery and put it back, then I could insert the charger without the phone booting up. Charge it for a while and start it.
Hope this way works for u 2.

I guess this is what I used to do as well. However now, if I remove the battery and put it back in it keeps automatically booting. Also if I put the charger in the phone and then remove the battery same thing happens. But thanks for the help though.
I am currently using the same ROM via MGLRD. Because of MGLRD, it will always turn on the phone from off when you plug your phone in. This is a known feature of MGLRD to preserve the battery. Checking just now, I turned my phone off, plugged in my charger and the phone automatically booted itself then the lockscreen came on then turned itself off after one minute. This is the cycle I see every time I charge my phone if it is off. I do not see it going into any boot cycle. What I see is after it goes through this, the orange LED light is on letting me know it is charging and will change to green when it is fully charged. Did you make sure before loading the ROM to do a complete wipe before installing? Usually most of the problems are associated due to not doing a complete wipe prior to loading a new ROM.

Well, this cycle I think is caused by the fact that the charger is not strong enough. Normally if plugged in the phone would just boot. The reason that it fails to boot is that is doesn't have enough power to complete the boot cycle even though the phone is plugged in (don't know if booting consumes a lot of power?).
A month ago I bought a new usb cable. Maybe that's where the problem lies? Because I have been using the hyperdroid rom for a while now. Although I don't know if one cable can be stronger than the other.
I have found a solution btw: Though it is a bit hit and miss cause it didn't work a few hours ago. When booting I let it go into mgldr and let it charge there. After a while I'll let it boot when it has enough power to complete the boot.

Humm, now you making me think lol, the 1st time I installed Android on my HTC HD2 was the NexusHd2 rom one and he had the same problem, no battery but once I plug it to the wall charger it would do the full(normal)boot, I thought was the rom so I changed to Hyperdroid Cm7, but, still does the same..
The wipe you talking is the one, wipe data/cache right?
if it happens to you a lot, I think it's time to invest in a third-party battery charger. you can charge it out of the phone for a bit, and then you're safe to put it back in a continue charging using the phone
Tried some different roms and all them do the same.. so I reckon its normal.. Thank You.
So after a long fiasco of installing an old GB leak before installing the latest version, to running into force close loops and freezing at the M logo. So finally i reflashed everything and rebooted and bam! i finally got 596 to work. But i noticed that my battery logo had a question mark and that it basically wasn't recognizing my battery. I thought maybe a simple reboot will fix it, went in cwm and flashed the 596 deodexer and rebooted. Got into the lock screen when i noticed it immediately said Connect Charger. When i unlocked the screen after about 10 seconds it went black and my phone wouldn't turn on. If i connect it to pc the led flashes blue for a second meaning the battery is dead but with the battery not being recognized it cannot charge. If i connect it to a wall charger it loads up the M logo and goes to the battery charging screen, when you completely drain your phone and need to wait til its 5% to turn on, but again has a question mark in it. I don't have any external chargers either. Whats my best course of action? Do i have to go out and buy a new battery...? All helps appreciated.
im very sorry about bumping my thread.., but my phones just sitting here useless and its very aggravating and extremely inconvenient so once again, any and all help is appreciated please gentlemen(ladies).
If you can boot even for a second, boot into clockwork recovery and find the option to wipe battery stats. I would try that.
Also, even with a charge, booting while plugged into AC causes it to show the charging screen. Unplug it, turn on your phone, and in the middle of booting THEN plug it in.

Thank you for the reply, ill try wiping the batter stats asap might have to end up ghetto rigging a charge into it. Ive heard that car chargers/external chargers will still charge it, is this correct? I would love to try your second idea except for again i don't even have a charge anymore. i tap the lock button and the led flickers blue for half a second, which if im not mistaken means the battery is completely dead. While i guess its always possible, never really expected my phone to just randomly stop realizing there's a motorola batter inside of there.
Edit: also if im not mistaken i believe that i had tried to plug the charger into after/during boot up and it still says its not a certified battery or whatever the message is and refuses to charge.
Not entirely sure about the car charger idea. It might work. Kind of skeptical on that if it won't even charge when connected to a computer. You could always purchase a new battery, maybe the extended. If it doesn't work just return it. If you don't want to purchase one, I possibly could ship you an extra one just to borrow and try to see if it's a battery or phone issue.
If you have a friend with another droid x you could try borrowing his or her battery to see if the actual battery is the issue without buying one...
It sounds to me like the battery stats on your phone got corrupted when flashing the new software and need to be cleared, which as said before can be done in CW recovery. There is also an app called BatteryCalibration which will help the situation also after you actually get booted up.
Hope this helps!

I have actually seen the app before, at the time didnt really notice what it did but i understand a bit more now. If any of the actual charging methods work ill definitely try that. Might just have to hook it up to a split usb for a while to get a decent charge.

Thanks for all the help man, really appreciate it. Ill try the car charger i suppose, wont hurt. Worst case I do actually have a friend with a DX so i can see whats up with that. Ive been meaning to pick up the extended for a while now just never really got around to it, guess this might give me an excuse. thanks for the offer to send out a battery though
No problem. I've got a bunch of unused stock batteries for various phones from all the extended battery upgrades we've gotten.
In any case, if you can't wipe battery stats, trying a friends battery or something would be the next best thing.
What I would do if you borrow a battery, if it STILL shows the question mark then it is a phone problem. Boot into CWM and wipe battery stats while using your friends battery, then try your own.
Even if your friends battery works without giving the question mark, wipe stats anyways and maybe it will stop doing it for yours.
Best of luck to you with this!

Great news gentlemen! so after trying the usb split usb method to charge my phone, the first time it didnt work. i just figured i didnt have the wires pushing on the battery poles enough so i retried it. Ended up forgetting it was plugged in and about 30-45 minutes later took it off. plug her in and my phone started up, good signs so far. Finally my os loaded and lo and behold, there's my battery showing green! So i quickly throw it on my wall charger and its charging too. Wiped my battery stats just in case anyways and reflashed everything. Got 596 loaded up and running and deodoxed. After trying to install a battery mod i got a few boot loops but after a wipe didn't work luckily i made a 596 nandroid before trying it. Flashed back to that and everything loaded up fine. Cant thank you guys enough for the help you've been. making a nandroid once my full set up is back to normal haha
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!
Hello guys, this is my first time posting up in XDA and I am encountering a very weird problem with my N4
Disclaimer, the following is a long write but please bear with me and give a read.
Here's my problem after flashing the simple asop 29/5 build for mako. I come from same rom build 21/5 but i did a clean flash for the latest build. As soon as success flashing the latest build with gapps, then as usual will proceed reboot the system. Just right before the boot animation, the phone immediately went dead. I am sure that the phone is still left with 50%+ of battery at the moment.
Anyhow, I decided to plug it into charger. And voila, the phone now able to go through the boot animation and everything just fine. After setting up and restoring backups, I unplugged the charger, its 75%+ on the battery. Within 10-15 seconds, the phone immediately go dead again. I hit the power button and tried to boot up. Again, right after the Google logo screen, the phone went dead.
Commonly this indicate a problem with the battery. Yeah, but I went into recovery twrp and disabled the screen timeout & max the brightness. Guess what, surprisingly it lasted more than an hour which proves that this wasn't battery fault.
What had I tried so far, is just switched off the phone and plugged into charge for 2 hours. And obviously it doesnt solve the problem. I am backing up all the data at the moment and plans to drain the battery all the way down just leaving it screen on at recovery.
Anyone who know what happening with my n4 or encounter similar experience, please feel free to share the solution. Many thanks

Have you tried making a clean wipe and trying either stock or another ROM, to see if it works then?
Your test doesn't prove it's not the battery's fault. Flash back to stock, see if the problem persists and if it does then you know you have a hardware problem. Could be the battery.

Hello, much appreciate your reply. I flashed back to stock 5.1.1 now and yet this problem is still persisting. Thus pretty obvious thats an hardware faulty.
In another forum, a guy with Nexus 7 had similar situation as me, and he suggests that its the battery or the circuit board at the charging port went kaput.
Guess nothing else I could do right now, gonna send in the phone for repair and hope the bill wont cost as much as a used nexus 4
