There is not much that you can do from what you are stating i guess...If it is a power ic problem and you are good at welding, give it a try and change it...Disassembly guides are on YouTube. If not..sell it.. Honestly, it's not worth a penny nowadays.

Hello
I think my new replacement SPV M600 has developed a fault too.
I have had the phone a week now and on two occasions while charging, the battery charge has stuck at 65% and the phone has got very hot.
I just checked my phone as I had left it on charge for about 4 hours, when I returned the phone was very hot to the touch and the battery gauge had stuck at 65%.
I turned off the phone and removed the battery, but it was not the battery generating the heat it was the phone. The metal plate under the battery felt like a heater.
I let the phone cool down then I replaced the battery and plugged it in again to see what would happen. Within two minutes the battery level went from 65% up to 76%.
I have unplugged the phone now as I am going to bed and I don't want to leave the phone on charge.
I would be interested in hearing if anyone else is having this problem, and whether you think it may be a serious problem.
I am just worried that this excessive heat may have damaged the CPU or the memory.
Thanks.
That sounds like a serious issue, I would try to get yet another replacement. Are you using the supplied charger?
I just realised, that my WiFi was turned on while the phone was charging, could this be the cause of the overheating?
I disconnected it the next morning, and recharged the phone again, this time it charged quickly and did not overheat.

I don't think that's a cause of your problem, mine didn't have any problem like that. I suggest you to ask your supplier to change the handset again. It doesn't sound good for a long yime.
I am not sure if this happened to anyone but I heard it did by a friend.
I use IMATE JAMIN version of HTC Prophet, my battery was in my device for a longer time without much of use. Lately, I was using it rarely for WLAN, it was running fine. Suddenly for the past 4 days it was turning off automatically ( even though the battery was 50 %) as soon as the device is boots to windows mobile
And then the period reduced to boot screen and auto shut down. And today, it dont start at all
I tried recharging, I dont see even its charging, not from USB or Direct.
Would appreciate if someone suggest something, before my handset service center ripp me off (coz my warranty period is over)
Please help by suggesting something.
I am not sure your case is same as mine or not. I tried to play my Touch b4 and made my battery totally flat. Than I couldn't recharge the battery by the phone. What you have to do is recharge your battery externally not by the phone. Because if the battery is totally flat, you can't use the phone to recharge your battery. After got some power back to your battery, you could use your phone to recharge the battery again.
The hard part is do you have anything can recharge your battery externally. I did so I had no problem. Good luck.
BTW if you really have nothing to recharge your battery externally, you can try to serial connect 4 AA battery and than attach the positive to your cell phone battery positive by a small wire and negative to your cell phone battery negative for about 15 mins, if not enough try another 15 mins. Should work.
Good Luck
Guys pls help..I have this problem,that when I'm charging my trinity,it couldn't reach 100% of charging (full charge) instead was stuck to 70%.eventhough i charge it overnight.I'm thinking if it is a battery prob or the charger. i am using the originally supplied charger & battery.
Thanks in advance...
Have you tried powering the unit off, removing the battery for, say, 15 seconds, then refitting it and rebooting?... Check the battery level after reboot?... Then retry charging again?...
Maybe a full discharge might help "reset" the above problem too?...
I'm not sure, but I think the Trinity battery management is quite dependant on so called "coulomb counting" and I reckon sometimes it goes a bit wrong.

Try battery callibration procedure!
The actual standalone charger (if that's what you're referring to) has no intelligence in it to speak of. Battery charge monitoring/status will be an integral function to the phone itself using dedicated h/w.
Something's not quite right with your kit somehow. Maybe the battery has gone a bit wrong (could be replaced - how much use has it had?)... Rather that than the phone itself, in which case it'll need repair.
You can try tnyynt's suggestion of Battery Calibration. Basically this requires you to totally discharge the battery (I suggest thru normal use of your phone!) then when it shuts down "cos battery is flat" reboot the phone into its bootloader screen (power down, then press and hold Power & Camera buttons until Tri-colour screen is displayed)... Then just leave the phone until it powers off of its own accord.
This may take a few hours (I did mine recently and it took @4hrs!) but the battery should be as discharged as its possible to get by that point...
And if you're lucky, it might just sort your problem out when you next recharge!
Good luck dude!!!

thanx again LoopyLoo,you made this procedure (battery callibration) clear to me,on how to do it.will try this procedure and will report asap the result.hope it works (fingers crossed),and hope it's not an internal phone prob.
Thanx Bro!!:>
Let me know how you get on.
I'm a little baffled as to why you have problems with your friends charge too but not USB???...
battery callibration not worked...
I'm sorry to report that after 3 times of trying the battery callibration method,my trinity still doesn't reach its 100% capacity of charging thru the standalone charger..but mysteriously charge a 100% with USB charging..I'm still not really sure why this happened..maybe will try to see a mobile technician for PPC..anyways,thanx for all your suggestion..will report ASAP after going to a service center..
Hi All,
I bought a replacement battery for my SG2 for longer battery life from M0bilefun, I inserted the new battery into the phone and left it to charge as their was no power but i got this grey battery icon come up every 10-20sec with a circle in the middle, thought it needed a full charge so i left it over night on charge but still the battery has no power, so thinking it must be a bad batch or something i have replaced it back with my genuine battery which I had around 70% charge left and now the exact same issue, the phone refuses to start and this stupid grey icon and that's all i get
the charger is plugged into the mains on a Belkin Pro AV surge protector extension cable.
any help or advice would be appreciated?
PS: reading the battery packaging it only comes with 6 month warranty which cannot be good otherwise it would have come with longer warranty - i wish i had known that.

Forgot to mention that I have tried doing a Hard Reset (power+volume down + home button) but nothing happens at all.

this is weird hot swapping the batteries around with the Andida and samsung it seem to work now with the andida battery, I will give it a full charge and see how it goes.
a5ian300zx
Please tell us how you fix it, for those people having the same issue
Hi,
I just swapped the battery over to the samsung one and then back to the Andida and seems to have resolved itself, but the battery life seems to decrease quite fast i fully charged it at 10am today and im one 55% with only one 5 min call made to day at 3g/data off, wifi on. and i used the wifi for around 20min.
but i will see in the next week or so, to let it wear in after few charges.
a5ian300zx
Dear a5ian300zx, my phone diad and it did not worked at all after installing Andida Battery 2000mAh. Ckeckout my new thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17076763
I took my phone to Samsung Service Center. The technician told me that the battery sensor indicator chip is damaged in the main-board and need to be replaced.
you might have the same problem. **** Andida Company, we have to sue them for dmanging our SGS2

Not everything my friend
Just charge the battery for some HOURS or over the night. All the described symptoms indicate a low battery to me.
cheers
UPDATE:
Just managed to unlock a bootloader in that short period of time i can get to fastboot. But still no change, phone wont stay in fastboot.

Well, i actaully tried to leave it plugged over night. But i think it stops charging right after the red light dissapears, which happens after 15mins or so after plugging. Btw, i mentioned earlier that battery shows 3.7V when measured with multimeter, so the battery doesn't seem to be the culprit... or does it...?

your battery is drained below safe line....to 0%. They warn you NOT to update it with less than 60% battery FOR A REASON!!
Friends case she managed to charge ger asus 7 memopad with non-removable bat to 60% after 8 HOURS, because of a bloatware wakelock drainage to 0% after a factory reset....
If that doesn't work you have to either recharge the battery manually (something like car batteries, you have to unsolder the battery connector because the battery doesnt have 2 gold squares that touch the gold pins like the removable ones, or get a new battery.
Li-Po batteries should never be discharged to 0%, and can make problems if they are not removable (Nexus 4)

I did manage to charge it manually with two small wires and an old Nokia charger, when checking battery with multimeter after a few minutes of charging seems to increase voltage. But i guess if the chip on battery is fried there is nothing more i can do.
I will try to leave the phone on charger all night once again, see if that makes a difference, and update if anything changes.
take off the back, disconnect the battery connector wire and connect it again, put it on charger and see if things change
UPDATE:
Leaving it to charge overnight didn't have any effect. Any other suggestions than changing a battery?
Nah, sorry, but i am out of ideas. You basically tried it all :/

I know there is a lot of threads about bricked N4's, and i can assure you that I have viewed each and every one of them, but i still can't resolve my broblem.
This whole brick situation happened after trying to update to Android 4.3 OTA update, the phone didn't complete the process and turned off, where red light of death happened.
So the scenario goes like this:
If i hold POWER button for ~30s when phone is off charger i only get a Google logo for 2 sec, and phone instantly restarts
Holding PWR+VOL-DOWN buttons when phone is off charger doesn't do anything
Plugging phone to charge (socket or PC) results in solid red light
Holding PWR+VOL-DOWN or PWR+VOL-DOWN+VOL-UP for ~15s makes the red light blink at a steady rate
While continuing to hold the respective buttons and pluging the charger off, and on again gets me to bootloader or download mode (depending on button combo) for ~2s and phone restarts.
I tried removing and inserting the battery 3 times. One time i got blinking red light when plugged the charger in. Second time i got solid red light and third time got solid red light again
I tried charging the battery directly for 15 minutes with old Nokia charger, and it resulted in something different(when i assembled the phone and tried to turn it on with PWR+VOL-DOWN buttons when charger was plugged off, i got to bootloader for 2seconds before phone restarted, i tried to boot second time and the same thing happened, but when i tried it third time i got nothing, just like before) so this was the first time i got into bootloader while not charging a phone.
*My PC seems to pick up the phone for a brief moment when it is in bootloader and starts installing the drivers. Drivers gets installed when i'm in download mode for that brief moment too.
**Phone doesn't get to the white or red battery icon while plugged to charge.
***Solid red light dissapears after charging for ~10mins, but phone won't do anything.
****When measured with a multimeter battery shows 3.7V
I hope someone will be able to help me with this, as it is frustrating as f*ck. I don't have a working warranty, so fixing the N4 isn't an option, and where i live phone repair prices are over the roof (ex. motherboard change for N4 costs ~270$ ).

I had the same problem. Kept it on the charger for a whole day and still only the Red Light.
Took it to a local shop and they said there is a short circuit in the antenna
Took it to the LG Service center and they said my motherboard is gone.
Both were costing a bomb to repair and still there was no guarantee.
IMHO, get a new phone.
Sorry
Have you tried charging it with a wireless charging pad? I got mine to boot after I did that. Your battery is drained and it doesn't have enough juice to charge itself.

Don't fall for the motherboard dead trick. Just a way to steal your money.... change the battery and never let it go to 1%
