no charge, no light.....

hi,
i drained my battery completly, and now when i want to charge it nothing hapened. it is not charging, no green light on device..... and i can`t turn it on becouse no juice in battery.... help needed how to charge the batery away from device or something.....
thanx in advance

Well,Jump start the battery,or charge it with Wall charger capable of 1amp out put,it'll start to charge.

To jumpstart the battery use a 9v battery and give the battery a few 30 second charges which should give it enough juice for the phone to boot and get it charging from the usb cable or wall charger thats less than 1amp.
It may take a few attempts to get enough charge.
Also cutting and end of a spare usb cable and using that to jumpstart the battery is possible too.

it would be more nice that if u could show it with picture illustration guide (if possible)
by the way. Is this the 9v battery u were refering too:-

hey dhawal4u stop spaming ) ..... and don't do 30 seconds shocks...try firstly with 15 seconds...or use a wall charger like zabardast said..it's safer

I guess charging it using a USB cable may also work because when my battery all once drained i used a USB cable to charge it and it worked but for sometime in the starting dont do anything after sometime its orange light will automatically be on or you can use the Wall charger as other are saying and once problem is solved do tell in the THREAD so that people dont post replied saving sites bandwidth.

usb cable jump worked for me. happened to have one usb cable without another head so tried it, few less than 10sec spikes and then connected to computer and boom it started charging
thanks.

Hi,
Could you tell me how to do this? Which are the + and - contacts of the wizard's cell?
Thanks.

Battery Charging

I have noticed recently that my HD2 charges when it feels like. I can charge direct from mains, usb or portable solar charger and have noticed that when plugged in and below 100% or any number down to about 10% that it does not always indicate that it is charging and sometimes stops charging before it has got to a 100%.
I have two batteries and both do the same and the phone is set to charge when on USB, so what gives, does anyone recognise this issue and how big an issue is it.. cheers..

Still trying to find an answer to this as the situation has got worse. Now I find that the battery will not charge until it has gone into the red zone and not always then.
Yesterday both batteries were in the last 10% of their life and then just stopped, even though the phone was plugged into the charger.
I have two chargers, three leads, two batteries but just the one phone so I am guessing that either the phone has issues or the rom that I am using has issues..
looking for clues and pointers..

I have had a similar issue, but it occuredmostly when I plugged in my portable charger with me. Above 50% charge, charging was not trustworthy, but below that it was. Up till now I have found the micro-usb cable to be the culprit, although I do not know exactly why.

Okay I will check my cable, maybe get one that I have not used before... thanks...

Well it is not the leads. The phone defo has a mind of its own and I can not make any sense of its charging behaviour.

SORTED...
At LAST.. finally got to the bottom of this..
SPB Phone Suite has both "Profiles" and "Rules" and I had not realised that you need to set the rules up and not just leave them at the default as this was telling my phone not to charge in certain profiles..

New N4, strange charging issue

I just got my new N4 and I placed it on my charger (not the one that came with the phone) overnight. I just checked the battery and it is sitting at 99% so I checked the battery chart and saw a weird thing. It says it has been turned on for just under 7 hrs (which is not true, it has been on for over 18 hrs) and that it only has been on the charger for over 2 hrs (again this is false, it has been charging for about 7 or 8). Plus the chart shows surges of use that quickly drain the battery while I was sleeping.
Does anyone know wtf went on? I will be switching to the provided charger but I have been using this charger for over a year with my Galaxy S2 without issues.
This is on the latest CM10.1 nightly, also.
Thanks.

According to this picture you are not using stock rom.

Plug/unplug several times the cable off of the charger. Check in battery setting, charging is through AC and not USB.
If that weird thing keeps appearing, try a different standard charger and check.

What do you mean "Check in battery setting" ... not sure I've seen that before. But I was using an old Blackberry MicroUSB AC charger, not a USB cable connected to an AC->USB connector like what is included with the phone.

Settings -> Battery

and when it plugged in it will say either charging (AC) or charging (USB)

[Q] Wireless Charging Problem

I bought a generic QI charger at DX and it worked well... once. The next day the phone was not recognizing the charger.
I really think that's a software issue because I tried a hard reset by flashing the original 4.4.2 stock rom image. it worked once and it stopped again. Then, I tried flashing stock again but it didn't work. Also, the charger seems to recognize that there is a device with wireless charging capacities but it turns off after 2 seconds.
Is there an activity or something that makes the system recognize the charger and start in fact charging? I searched a little bit but I can't find someone with the same issue

Have you moved the phone around on the charger? I have found out that the phone qi receiver is low on the phone and the transmitter is usually in the middle of the charger. That will give you the on/off back and forth.

Yes. I also searched the exact spot where the coil is located, it can't be. also, the charger recognizes de device

i had the same issue, it would detect then it would lose its connection, it comes down the the quality of charger, the magnetic pull is weak so it may drop after a few seconds, i ended up getting a better one,i dont exactly know why it droped even when the phone has not moved,
is your charger a small disc or a flat rectangle larger than the phone?

yeah, could be. I don't know, it's just weird that it worked once. It's a flat rectangle.

I noticed it has to be on perfectly, I have a small one and I'm noticing its difficult to get it to charge, it seems to tickle 90% of the time I'm thinking of opening it and do a few tests,
On mine it states, if the power is irregular the charger will disconnect and stop, intermittent etc, the light will display that, if the charger is not strong enough then It can do that aswell.
My qi is 1500mah output while my charger is 1200mah and its efficiency is 75%, so at 900mah its still fine for the nexus, I will test with a 2amp charger and hope it dosnt just make it hotter
Its anoying that this has not be a substitute to connecting it directly.

This is how mine is positioned. The SIM card slot on the side is aligned with the charger coil on the phone, so you can use it as reference. Also make sure you're using a charger with not less than 2000 mA. Also try a different phone to test the charger if you can, just to rule out your phone as the problem. Good luck

S4 Charger Issue

So recently my S4 has been charging incredibly slowly, I decided to install a quick app (Galaxy Charging Current) to monitor the current output from my charger. I'm using the standard S4 charger that came with it which is supposed to deliver around 2.1A. I do understand that it'll never deliver quite as much as 2.1A due to current drop in the cable etc, but I was shocked to see 300mA being delivered to my phone which would take hours and hours to charge my phone to completion. In fact, I left my phone on charge overnight from about 15% and woke up 9 hours later to 53%, in the battery settings it showed the charge decreasing and increasing by increments.
And so I believed that something with the charger was wrong, so the first thing I did was try out two different USB cables for my charger and then test to see if the current had changed, it had not it was still at 300mA. I ended up buying a new stock S4 charger but the issue persists. However, with this new charger it outputs 1890mA at times, but then drops to 300mA randomly for periods of time. I've tried different wall sockets as well.
Anyone else had anything similar or could offer advice on why this is and how I can change it?

Bump. Issue still persists.

Hi, take out your battery and look at the serial number. if it starts with BD and maybe looks swollen, its faulty. Samsung will replace it with a new one for free.

It isn't the swollen battery issue I'm afraid, already checked.
Also: the phone charges at 1800mA sometimes and then sometimes I see this, it's driving me insane not being able to charge properly
