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

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.

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.
Long story short after not using my Universal for a while it now has this issue:
Only turns on when plugged into charger
Immediately shuts off when unplugged
When plugged into charger, red charger light is not lit
When plugged into USB, charging light flashes quickly and unit does not power on
I hard reset and no change
Under Settings>Power it shows Main Battery: Unknown
What can I do?
buy a new battery?
Ya that's, of course, what I figured. just making sure this was not a known issue of some sort.
...if the battery I ordered doesn't fix it I'm coming after you for the $2.60 it cost me.
uuu...me so scared
Cheers!
99% it is a battery issue...
When i plug my phone to either pc or ac the yellow light blinks and the battery reads 100%. Usually the yellow light is solid and the battery show as if its plugged in. Can someone please help?
Have you examined the contacts on the usb plug and where the battery snaps in?
That is usually the middle contact for the battery.
Pull the battery cover and battery out and inspect the battery connectors. My guess in the middle one is bent forward. Bend it back gently and be careful if you have to pull the battery.
The soft reset button is a better option if you just need to do a battery pull.
Are you using the standard HD2 battery that came with your phone? I bought a cheap $5 backup battery and I have this exact same issue when I try to charge it. The stock battery works perfectly though.
hot
I have the same problem, but only when I use internet on the phone for a period of time. When the antenna is used continuously it gets very warm, and I noticed that's the moment it quits loading and flashes the light. Maybe the battery gets too hot?
so what is the solution - will not charge from network charger nor from usb - when i pluged network charger for whole noght it was blinking green and orange and indicator wrote 100 percent of charge but when i looked into battery properties it showed me 9 percent and no charge - so by night it discharged fully and no answer on any doings
Some things that may indicate the flashing lights.
orange blinking is overheating.. but don't worry it does that and then it will pause charging for a bit and charge in waves rather then 1 cycle to let the phone cool down..it wont be a previous gen devices where it stops charging or gets extremely hot.

Flashing green light when there are new SMS, MMS or e-mail messages, missed calls, or reminders.
Solid green light when the device is connected to the power adaptor or a computer and the battery is fully charged.
Solid amber light when the battery is being charged.
Flashing amber light when the remaining battery level reaches below 10%

The only solution I heard of that works is to do a soft reset.
An alternative is to switch off the phone, then after 10 minutes or so plug it into the charger. This means that the charging circuitry is only supplying power to charge the battery and not power the phone as well.

on this phone, you can't use anything but the battery for the phone. Take out the battery and you can't use the phone.

I'm not asking you to remove the battery. Either try a soft reset or charge the phone with the phone switched off ten minutes prior to charging.
Hi Folks,
My HTC HD2 Android not getting charged either by a wall charger or usb via my pc... i dont what happened suddenly it got turned off due to low battery and when i pluged it for chrging its not showing orange LED notification of charging. when its off and plugged in Orange LED blinked once and Phone got switched on. And when its connected to PC for abt 3 mins it will show charging and after that it shows discharging and battery drains when it shows it discharging . pls help me out coz i dont want to loose my Leo .
Thanx in advance,,,,
Check the pins at the phone which connects to the battery. Sometimes they are deformed and this cause the charging/not charging problem.
But... in this case I don't think this is the problem, because this problem should not affect direct charging from usb cable.
Anyway check them just for sure!
Thanks VDodi

so if your phone dies how do you get it to charge?

Best way is not to let it run out
However, normally it will have enough charge left once it dies to boot up far enough to start charging. If this is not the case, then you have to cut open a USB cable and use the red and black wires to charge the battery. I have not had to do this and am unsure as to how to do it but there are tutorials. It seems simple enough.

Consider, as was previously suggested, a cable connection issue.
While you do not currently have the luxury of looking at your status icons, I have found that, on occasion, when I plugged in the phone to charge, the status icon indicated a USB connection, rather than a charging icon. Unplugging the cable and re-inserting the cable fixed it.
Note that new high quality cables can exhibit the same issue.
You have nothing to lose... Give it a shot.
Good luck.

Take out battery, plug chopped up USB cable into wall charger, use fingers to hold red to + black to -, count to twenty, battery in phone, phone into bootloader, real charger cable into phone and wall charger, leave 10 mins, reboot into android. (Can charge all the way in bootloader, but it seems slower than when android is running.)

By 'tutorials on how to do this' I basically meant your posts
As previously said if you're using magldr you need to be booted into Android before the phone will charge. You can try to warm the battery up in your hands to squeeze the last bit of power out of it to boot up. Or there are standalone hd2 battery charges you can buy from eBay that charge your battery outside of the phone, they're pretty cheap.

As Samuel said you can charge phone in bootloader. Just try!
Had to buy external charger
item # M00366 this charger was cheap has led's that change from red to blue as the battery charges and has a usb port so you can charge a battery in phone at the same time.
I'd been alternating tween an extended battery and the original when my HD2 started discharging while plugged in. same batteries and nearly a year of typhoon's excellent ROM progression then wham dead batteries....
I was playing some games.. phone crashed. Now when i plug in the power the LED just flashes RED. Can't boot. I can still get into the bootloader but thats it.
I am rooted, unlocked, etc... am ****ting my pants right now. Any tips guys. Searched around the threads not sure what to do ? Maybe restore and RMA...:crying::crying:
actually now i cant even access fastboot... it shows for a split second and crashes out to blinking red LED
plug it in the wall, keep it ther for 10 minutes or so, then try to turn it on again.
This happens when your battery is literally out of charge.
Let it charge, the phone's entered the trickle charge mode because the battery is low. It may not recover and if it doesn't it means the battery is having an issue. From my reading of red light issues the solutions have been: let it charge because the battery is to low, it shorted so unplug and replug the battery, or to rma it cause the battery died.
Sorry guys skipped a boatload of details.... yeah the phone is charged...
I was playing games off the wall charger, believe me it has plenty of power. The light is blinking red can't do anything, no power up.
Either RMA or take the phone apart, disconnect the battery wires and reconnect them. There should be a guide somewhere, just look blinking red light of death.
Yup, blinking red led is a trickle charge mode.
Maybe the wall charger did not have enough power. Or the phone decided to discharge anyway.
What I am wondering about: if the phone gets back to life, is it empty or full (as in: switch it on without charging and see if it shuts off quickly).
Potential ways to handle this:
- wireless charger. The wireless charger does not pass through the 'red led' circuit but charges the battery directly.
- leave on trickle charge for a day. To trickle charge, that is supposed to be a slow process I think. Maybe someone can measure the current when it happens.
- unplug and replug the battery. This may reset the charge circuit or something.
- hold the power button down for 10 seconds. This will electronically disconnect the battery (but I do not know if it is a place that makes a difference).
