Hi everyone.I hope I post this in the correct forum section.
So,up until a week ago,I've been using my G1 without any issues.After a few days though my G1 suddenly shut down.I didn't think much of it so I just held down the power button to restart it.And here's the problem.It didnt restart.It went as far as the G1 screen and then it shut down again.Only when I plugged in I could open my phone again.I have had this problem ever since.
Everytime I use my phone for anything,be it browsing,games,listening to music etc,after 5-7 minutes my phone shuts down without any warning.No blinking red lights,no sound,nothing.And I can't restart it without connecting it to a charger.
I really need your help guys,any solutions come to mind?
I have a rooted G1.I used to have cyanogen 6.0 when the issues started and I changed it yesterday to this one but it didn't make any difference.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Buy a new battery.
Go to amazon and search for batteries for htc dream. You can get 2 1400 mAh batteries for $5.
I've had the same issue and it turned out to be the battery.. I picked up a new battery off amazon.
Yup.. I agree with everyone else. You can see if your battery is bubbled in any way... Lay it on a flat surface and spin it. I fit spins more than 3 times or so, it's beat. My friend runs a Batteries Plus location in North Caorlina and this is their test method. Pretty technical stuff there. hahahaha.
Thought I'd pass this fix along.
I have a rooted nook that would not power up (stuck on last display screen). When I'd plug it in -- it showed a GREEN light (already charged). I tried all of the reset fixes (20 seconds hold, 1 min hold, wait a minute, 15 secs) -- nothing worked.
Finally, I pulled it apart using this tutorial on Youtube:
[Can't post link because I'm a newbie --- just search for "How to Take Apart a Nook Simple Touch"]
Very easy to do if you have a T-6 torx driver. I unhooked the battery. Held down the power button (white button if disassembled) for about 30 seconds to discharge the board. Then hooked the battery back up, reassembled, plugged in -- and it started charging (orange light).
It looks like the issue was -- the nook was registering the battery as fully charged -- and it was completed depleted. The above fix seemed to reset it.
Hope that helps someone.

I thought that it was a T-5 Torx?

I thought that too, but -- at least with the torx set I have, t-5 was too small.
Had the exact same problem and your procedure fixed it! Thanks!

I also had this problem this afternoon. This procedure worked for me too. Thanks a lot because it helped to revive my reader.
However, for Nook to have such a problem and we need to fixed it in such a complicated way is not acceptable.
Fantastic. I had the same problem and now it is solved. Thank you.
After I bought a Nexus 7 my NST was resting for a while. Now, when I wanted to use it again, it was totally dead. Then your tip bring it back to life.
Thank you. When plugged, instead of "Charging (AC)" my nook was showing "Not Charging" in device info/battery. And in the end, it went dead.
After your fix, it works
That's the ticket

THANKS!
Just the tip I needed! :good:
Thanks!
That seemed to work
It's now showing the "Your Nook's battery charge is too low to power up. Please wait 15 minutes! screen and a loading animation :good:
I was seriously worried.
This is really weird...is there any reason for this issue?
I am quite new to the nook in general. (Nook simple touch glowlight in my case.)
Maybe we can check for similarities and find what was causing the problem.
So what did I do to my Nook:
Rooted, Nook Manager
Nooks gapps flashed, market downloads work (search not)
Installed a bunch of apps
Installed a custom Launcher (Lightning Launcher)
Installed Swiftkey as a custom keyboard (needed several language charactersets)
Left Wifi turned on all the time
Used the feature to restore the glowlight setting after being woken up again
Used the setting to skip the lock-screen swipe
Used a custom screensaver/lockscreen text
Changed button links in the main menu (n-button) to adress the original home, as well as the custom launcher home
That's what I can remember :/
And as far as I can remember I had more than 15% of battery (at least).
With the 1.2.1 software there is an automatic shutdown that kicks in at around 20% battery.
It doesn't work very well.
It will also give you warnings when it's under 20% but plugged into the wall and charging.
Green light issue, fix not work
I recently got a brand new nook simple touch and after trying various fixes to try and start my nook up I came across this. I was hoping this would work but it is still on green when battery is plugged in and charging off mains. The light is also green when plugged into mains without battery attached. It wont go past the "Fully charge before first use" start screen and can't find any more information on what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the fix. It worked the first time I tried but after only one day the problem presented itself again and after that the fix doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm leaving the battery disconected a few hours in addition, to try if it fixes this problem completely (but I'm not too optimistic).

This firmware, does it still count even if you have rooted the device? If so, do you think a downgrade to 1.1.1 would fix the problem? It is rather funny that I didn't have this problem until a couple of days ago, even if my NST is only 2 months old!
Update:
It seems that my battery is not yet dead after all. It turns out that I was measuring it wrong (thank you Engineering degree) and now it reads 4.15V as it is supposed to.
So, that brings me back to the theory that there is something wrong with my software. Right now it can boot for a few seconds but as soon as it goes to sleep mode (either by clicking on the "power" button or just waiting), it freezes. I recovered the official firmware and the problem persists.
Thanks, this trick fixed mine too!
Does anyone know if this fix can be achieved by simply charging the nook for an extended period of time? I have the exact same problem but I'm not so sure about opening the back cover as it voids my warranty and I only purchased this device in early June, and the problem appeared by the end of June :/
I have to confess, I never did charge my nook fully when I bought it as recommended, and simply dived in to using it as soon as the battery had a sufficiently high enough % as I was too excited lol

I find it acceptable. After all, if we weren't messing around with the devices in the first place, we wouldn't ever need to do this.
Plus, really, it's not that complicated. A couple of screwdrivers and it's open. I mean, should we expect it to open itself with a voice command or something?

Thanks, this method worked ok with mine.
HI dudes,
it seems I've got a similar problem, green light on usb and stuck on "YOur Nook has turned off completely"
I take it apart with no success ... any idea ? Mu NST is nearly brand new, ever used a lot ...
thanks
I had the same problem, the reason was completly dead battery. After bat replacement nook works great!.
When battery have to small voltage, noow won't start to charge. You can try with external charger, to bring battery to life.
I think some nooks was matured in stock, thats why battery was completly discharged...and wont charge with nook.
Nook showing green light, main board drain and nothing
My Nook shows the green light when plugged in either to the pc or wall charger. I've held down the button twice for 30 seconds and disconnected the batery holding the power button 30+ seconds. Neither worked. Any more suggestions? I do notice a slight flicker of amber whilst holding the button down with the power cord plugged in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to read this. I am having a serious problem charging my Nook Color after updating to CM10.1.
I have been running CM7 for about a year and finally decided to bump up to CM10 because many apps now require a faster/higher rom.
Well I can tell you that I love the update with 1 slight problem. My Nook will not charge when I am plugged in and using it. It only charged
while turned off. I use my Nook a lot and at times it needs to be plugged in. I have tried 3 different B&N NC charging cable. 2 of them were
new out of the package. I returned it to CM7 to make sure it wasn't the Nook battery having internal problems and it charged fine while using it. Wiped and reflashed to CM10 and same problem. I have seen that several others have had the problem through google searches but could find no solutions. I really don't want to go back to CM7 but not being to use my NC without having to turn it off and letting it charge for 2 hours before using again isn't an option either. I have a dsmeg.txt file that I made from emulator after I plugged it in that I am attaching. Again. Thanks for your help and hopefully this will help others.

Hi, i have the same issue. Try to use a normal usb cable. The stock cable isn't detected.It works for my nook.
Hey everyone!
I recently left Samsung and decided to try out Nexus 4. I actually planned to test it out so I kept the plastics on the charger and everything, and left everything in the box because I want to sell it for the Nexus 5. Anyways, I've used it for exactly a week now and it's been working just fine, but last night was the second time I left it charging overnight. Since I kept all of its stuff in the box, I use the charger from my Nexus 7 to charge it. It's been working fine so far, but today I woke up from my alarm, took my phone off charge and it worked perfectly. I went back to sleep with the phone beside me and when I woke up, it wouldn't turn on. Anyways, I got really worried and eventually it safe booted when I pressed power + vol. down. I pressed "Start" and now it's up and running but when it powered back on, it showed 85% battery instead of 100% considering it was on charge for about 8 hours. I know this isn't because of battery hibernation because I put it on charge while it was at about 4% I believe. I've looked around everywhere online and I can find people with similar problems but all of them have something like the phone going into hibernation or such. But Mine did not do anything like that. Can anyone please explain why this happened? The phone still has warranty but I really can't afford to go without a phone for 3 weeks if I send it in. Thanks so much!!!
P.S. It's running the latest KitKat, I've never rooted it, flashed it or anything like that. I am running the Google Experience Launcher.
Edit: I read that Nexus 7 chargers use 0.8 more current that the Nexus 4 chargers. Can that be the case? Thanks again guys!

Charger could be one problem. It's better to use the stock one.
What you had there was a BSOD ( black screen of death). Basically, the cpu gets stuck when trying to sleep. Software issue. Battery consumption is higher. Plus a reboot may have taken some more battery.

Phew! Thanks!! I was so worried that this was a hardware issue! I am a developer so I was testing out a tetris app yesterday, that can be probably cause I guess. Or maybe that just happens to the CPU sometimes. I've never done anything to overload it or anything but maybe it was working too hard to control all that extra power it was getting from that Nexus 7 charger. But that makes alot more sense! I was really worried because I baby all of my electronics and I would hate to have to send my phone into Google or for anything to be wrong with it. Software issues can all be fixed with a factory reset right? Thank you so much! I was extremely paranoid! Thanks!

Hello, recently I've had a problem where I can't charge my verizon galaxy s5. It's been rooted for a while now (about 7 months) and one day it just stopped charging. I assumed it might be the rom, so i switched to a different one. This didn't fix the problem so I decided to back to factory default. This didn't fix the problem either and I have no idea what the issue is. The battery works just fine because I can charge it on my friends gs5. Also around the same time as it stopped charging, the vibration mode on the phone no longer seems to work. This wasn't fixed by the switching of roms either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
