Moto G Dead Battery - Moto G General

so i let my battery drop to 0% and than went to charge it, but it was not charging at all. so after researching on the internet. i saw a few ways to make it work again. tried it at night and nothing worked so i gave up but i left it plug in the charger. in the morning i tried again by plugging the charger into another socket and held the power button for 30-45 sec and viola the notification light of hope started blinking!

Wasn't dead then...

i had that problem several times, with several devices.. it's not dead, it just happens (rarely)

if you let the battery die (phone turns off) you need a powered usb port to give it a kick start. i use an ipad wall charger and it works ok.
dont let the phone battery die on you

if you plug it in and hold the power button for 2-3 minutes the led lights will start to blink. than you leave it charging for an hour and than you can turn it on by holding power button.

I need help really bad!!

Sorry for the bad english.
I had my xperia for like 2 weeks now and last night i plug the usb from the
computer to my phone and my phone just completely shuts off. there is a red
light once in a while when its being charged. i charged it for 6 hours now and
it still won't turn on!??! Somehow my phone vibrates ones every two minutes
when it is off or being charged...have and idea??
are you still charging from the computer or the wall outlet. if not doing so already, i recommend that you charge from the wall outlet instead of the computers usb.
it may take a while before the red light goes out. turn off the phone and recharge it overnight.
i'm charging it from the wall outlet. The red light doesnt turn on anymore.
and still i can't turn on my phone.
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Remove the stylus.
3. Use your stylus to press in the small RESET hole which is along the slot where you just took your stylus out of. you will feel something click in as you press it, like a hidden button.
if that does't help, take out the battery and put it back in after a second or two or three. hehe.
then connect it to the wall charger.
I had this problem a few days ago... it didn't switch on even after a whole night's charge
you just have take the battery out, then put the usb cable in, then put the battery in... you'll notice the red light doesn't flash anymore... BUT!! don't try to switch on... i'd leave it for around 1 minute, before switching it back on. if you just leave it; the red light will start flashing again

I tried all of the following and it still doesnt work.
i put the usb cable in and it pops up the red light and my computer says it doesnt recognize the device. and my phone vibrates happends every 1 min or so..
but it still won't turn on
no, plug the usb cable directly into the power point. it's useless using a computer to charge the phone anyway, it doesn't supply enough power. just keep trying different combinations... mine ended up working after what i said before, although i did use the car charger in may car as after the charge in the night didn't work.
1 - take out battery
2 - insert usb cable to phone and power point
3 - insert battery
4 - wait 30 secs to 1 minute
5 - press power button for like 4 secs...
man this sucks i did that too and its still not working...
hmm i don't know what happen to it. it was still full battery when it suddenly
shuts down. could it be the battery?
tried manually booting SPL??? hold volume down button and press power and keep holding for 3-4 seconds..... see if that works
i did that too still no sign.
i know its not dead cause when charge it the phone vibrates every 1 min or so
and it stops after maybe 5 mins
I have problems with charging my X1 with my PC.
My X1 only charges when my PC is turned on, with my Elf (HTC Touch) it charges also when my PC was turned off.
So I thought X1 would charge too, when my PC is turned off.
But it seems it drains the battery out of my X1 :-s
So next morning, my X1's battery was empty (after 3 hrs charging on USB => then it was full, and let it connected with my pc in the night, when pc is turned off.
It was quite frustrating for me, but I really don't know why this happens to X1 and not with my Elf.
try taking out the battery, wait 5 mins, re- insert it.
Then start charging via wall socket. wait 5 mins again and then breifly press the power button, should vibrate once then turn on.

Flashing red led of death

Hi everyone, yesterday I took my G1 from my pocket (after using it normally for some hours) and it was turned off. I thought the battery was dead (I left it at about 20% charge) so I tried to turn it back on and surprise...no vital signs at all. The phone didn't turn on, and the led was dead. After losing half of my hair, I tried removing the battery and placing it back. Now the phone behaves like this; when I press the power button, as long as I keep it pressed the led flashes red and that's it. When I stop pressing the power button the led stops flashing. When I plug the usb cable, the led gives a solid red and stays like that forever.
Please someone tell me it's just a screwed up battery...please

Probably bad battery. It is certainly worth it to at least try another battery -- they're dirt cheap anyways, or better yet, BORROW one.
* Solid green (when connected to the power adapter): The battery is fully charged.
* Solid red (when connected to the power adapter): The battery is charging.
* Flashing red: The battery is low and needs to be charged.
* Flashing green: There is a new notification.

Leave it to charge for 30 minutes or so, then try to power on. should be okay
better to charge from ac power if u can
Its possible your charger could be faulty.
I have the same problem, has anyone found a solution?
Try leaving it charge for a good hour, or just go out and try a new battery, could just be dead.

sometimes if a battery gets to low it wont even charge... not just for phones but cameras too and so on..... iv had to do this to cell phones and cameras.... take a usb cord you dont care about and cut it and expose the red and black wires..... look for the positive on your battery and negative, usually its marked, how positive to positive and negative to negative for 30 seconds to a minute while its plugged into the computer then, pop the battery back into the phone and try to charge..... everytime iv had to do this for a freind or something of my own the battery has lasted over a year after with no problems.... just a suggestion
Thanks for the suggestions. I had already ordered a new battery and the phone boots up with it but it won't charge on or off and usb isn't recognized either. I tried wiggling the plug around to see if it was some kind of loose connection but it doesn't appear to be the case. I may take the phone apart and see if anything is loose but otherwise I'll just have to enjoy the last 30% battery of G1 time I have.

Constant Rebooting?

Ok, so my Kindle Fire is rooted running an older version of CM9 (Late January) and since I don't use it very often it just sits there. Well, it ended up draining the battery and when I plug it into the wall to charge it just tries to turn on, gets to the FIREFIREFIRE bootloader logo and shuts off instantly. Over and over and over...
I've had it plugged in for about 20 minutes now and nothing is changing... How can I make it stop so it will just charge? I feel like its just booted and draining faster than its charging now.
Just let it sit for over an hour, came back and the screen was off with the light just flashing.
What now?! I unplugged it, and plugged it back in and it just resumed the screen flashing again...
I hope it didn't break because of the stupid battery
- plug it to the wall charger
- press and hold the power button for ~20sec till it turns off to allow it to charge
- let it charge for some hours (over night)

No dice, it won't turn off. I held it for over a minute while looking at the power light from an angle. It just kept on blinking green...
Btw, here is another thread for this

[Q] Phone not charging

Last night I let my phone fully discharge by accident. Now it won't charge when plugged to the turbo charger. It just gets warm and thats all. Is this a known issue? Also I tried the Vol - + Pwr Buttons for about 5 minutos with the turbo charger and it doesn't turn on.
It could take quite a while for the phone to turn on when it's completely discharged. Might need 20 min+ charge for it to even turn on. If that doesn't work, try holding down the power button for a very long time (15+ seconds) after having it hooked up for maybe half an hour first.

Thanks. I'll try that.
Hi Hvffer,
Is the above method worked for you? I am also facing same issue.
Thanks

No power, red LED blinks now and again, otherwise nothing

Recently I noticed that my S8 was not fast charging when plugged into the wall outlet, but it was still at least charging albeit slowly. Yesterday the battery was down to 15%, I used a car charger on the way home, not really paying much attention to the battery percentage, but then when home used it for a couple minutes before plugging it onto the wall charger.
At that time I noticed it had shut off, figuring the battery was simply flat I left it for the night.
This morning I get up and it is unresponsive, if I push any buttons the LED will blink red a couple times then do nothing. I have tried to reset holding the power button and volume down and just get the same red LED blinking. Tried plugging it into a laptop charger, and still nothing.
Any suggestions before I send the thing back? Any way to access the pictures, contacts etc?
Thanks.

Laptop and car chargers are usually slow. Do get a new home charger with cable and even change the socket which you use to plug the charger in.

I have a smilar problem.
100% battery, charged overnight, at 9:00 the phone was working, at 9:45 it wasn't working... I had a green led blinking but no response from any key or combination. When I unplugged it the green blinking stopped but the phone doesn't respond. It doesn't automatically connect to wifi (I've restarted the router to see if it connects)
I'm proceeding to get a refund because mine is 5 days old (16/08/2017)

I know they are slow, but figure maybe the laptop can get it to at least power on. I have tried a different socked to plug the charger in, not going to go and buy a new home charger and cable though if the phone is unresponsive.

If I can get this to power on I am getting all my pictures, contacts and then dumping it. At the moment nothing gets it to power on, just a blinking red LED. It is barely 2 months old.
Edit: Looks like it will be a warranty replacement, the red light is blinking regardless of any type of charger I hook it up to. Any combination of trying to get it to reboot either normally or into recovery fails. My laptop recognizes something is plugged in, but that is as far as it goes. Hopefully I can get contacts off it at the very least, I also hate to turn in a phone without resetting it.
