Hello there,
i've had problems again with my battery of my Nexus 4 and i wanted to try a really full discahrge. By full i mean waiting the turning off of the phone while in the recovery mode.
The last time i did that, i plugged it in the charger and all went almost fine (at the beginning a red led started to blinking without screen turning on; after a while it started normally).
This time the phone isn't giving any sign of life. Any hint (excluding the official assistance)?
SOLUTION:
I've pluged/unplugged the phone from charging so many time that probably electron by electron the battery charged enough to start (LOL joking). By the way, after few plug-unplugs the red dot started again to flash, then finally after a few plug-unplugs it just starte from nothing :|
leave it on the charger for at least 1 hour
my friend has an asus memo pad and it got discharged to 0% and it took him 1 hour to get it up to 5%.

Just over a week ago I found my battery life had become very short. A few 5 minute phone calls and it was dropping to 30%.
I charged the phone from the wall charger switched off to hopefully re-calibrate the battery.
It was then that I noticed a few hours later that the led was flashing orange and green.
Started the phone and the status was 100%. Life was still very poor so I thought as the battery was about 12 months old I may as well order a new HTC replacement.
The led would always stay on orange when charging the new battery even after an 8 hour wall charge and upon starting the phone it showed 99% charge.
A couple of days later it started behaving normally - going green and showing 100%
Last night however when putting it on charge ( 75% ) the led started flashing orange green again.
An hour later I was woken to the sound of the phone resetting itself then turning off because the battery was too low
Attempts to recharge resulted in the orange charging light coming on for about 10 seconds then turning off.
I found if I waited 20 minutes the orange light would stay solid indicating it was charging.
This morning when I turned it on the battery level was showing 100% so I hooked it up to the pc to do a backup. Backup completed then there was no orange light - battery was showing nearly empty - and in the status tab instead of Li-ion it said unknown !
Phoned Orange care and they said I had a faulty power circuit and are sending out a replacement.
I have noticed a large increase in posts recently regarding battery charging problems and phones resetting etc. and hope this helps others.

Update
My replacement phone is working well and there was nothing wrong with the "old" battery.
So if your battery life suddenly drops and you haven't changed anything on your phone investigate the charging circuit.

On my TMOUS HD2 I am running a build of Desire 2.2
Its been working great for the better part of a week.
The only kind of problem I have been having with it is when it dies, I would sometimes need to pull out the battery before it would once more charge.
But that really wasnt a big deal for me, my thinking was, well i'll just start charging it before it dies.
Last night I was up playing angry birds and the battery became pretty low, so I called it a night and I pluged it in to my Chome Notebook for an over night charge.
When I woke up this morning my phone will no longer turn on.
My first thought was my notebook lost power and in turn the phone never charged, but that wasnt it.
The I thought maybe the notebook didnt send out enough power to charge the phone ( I have charged it through this notebook before ) so I plugged it into the wall and the charge light just blinked... almost as if it had a full charge.
I went to boot it up and it only flashed my boot screen before shutting off again.
After I repeated this I would eventually get to the MAGLDR, but right after it would shut off.
I took the battery out for about a minute this next time and I was able to boot all the way to the DFT screen, but it shut off yet again.
I checked to see if I could get into the bootloader screen, and I could, but it still shuts off when I get in there.
So currently.... I have it with the battery out for another half hour before I try booting again.
Ok, its been 1 hour now I put the battery back in. When I pushed the power button it didnt do anything. But when I pluged it in, it turned on to the boot screen and once more turned off.
But a few seconds after that the charging light came on.
I am going to leave it like that for a bit and see where it gets me.
Right now, I have it charging from the wall. I will leave it there for an hour or 2.
haha, any ideas?
atm you can't charge the phone with magldr installed when the phone is off.
hope it helps
I don't believe that is the actually problem.
I had left the phone on the charger for the past hour and a half and just started it up, and to my surprise it loaded all the way back into android and showed that it was actually charging.
I guess.... maybe it was slowly dieing over night because it was not getting enough charge from the notebook.
And when I woke up and check my phone it was so drained it couldn't even boot past the boot screen.
Hello everyone!
this time i've weird problem with my new gene HTC P3400i having windows 6 professional.... As my daily routine i put my phone on charging at night around 2AM and unplug the charger when i wake up around 7AM till then phone gets fully charged from 5% to 100% but one day when i woke up and unplug the charger it was only 22% i thought may be charger was unplugged so i put my phn again on charging and gone to do my work, after around 3hours when i saw the phn it was on again 22% but phn was showing charging i was curious like wat happened to phn, then switched off my cell and plugged in for charging but again after one hour when i switched it on it was on 22% :| i unplugged it and went out and saw that battery was draining very fast... 22% then 20% and so
on and withint 15min it was on 2%, i was out for around 5-6hours and my
phone was still alive with 1% charge remaining then atlast it died.. i tried to switch it on 5-6 times but it start goes to boot screen then windows logo and red service light and turns off....
end of phase 1
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
i reached home plugged phone for charging and after around 15min turned it on... now the problem begins.... when i turned it on it goes till windows logo with red light and switch off on its own... i again tried switching it on with charger still plugged but it doesnt respond i tried 10-15 times but of no use... i left it there for a while and again swithced it on again the whole process started till windows logo and red light and switch off... then again no response.... i thought may be battery died(well i dont think coz suddenly battery cant die on
its own when it was giving stamina for 1day for a 2year Old GENE).. so i went to buy new battery and switched it on and it worked like as usual but i noticed that battery was draining very fast in front of my eyes.. i plugged in for charging and it was charging fine when it was 100% i unplugged the charger and suddenly i saw that charging meter went to 89% :| :| i tried plugging it again and again unplugging but this time 77% :| i thought may be there is a problem with battery itself so replaced my batery with new one and again plugged it in phone and switched on this time i thought it is fine and plugged it in for charging but again the same problem when i unplugged charging meter went to 90% and subsequently battery drainage... :|
and yeah one more thing i noticed is when i plugged charger without battery the service light shows red light blinking very very fast however with normal phone it should be like call, end buttton and amber light shows up for one time and gone....
Can anybody help me out with this ... please help me this time :| :|
charging problem
hi buddy
this problem because of your charger either u r using a duplicate charger or another charger having different frequency..
all u have to do first bring the charge of your battery to zero and then use a original charger its temporary problem i have also met this thing 3 or 4 times ... don't panic it will be resolved...
enjoyyyy
Finally receieved my Nexus 4 after almost 2 months waiting, but not really enjoying it right now.
Received it yesterday, unpacked it and I couldn't turn on the phone. So I've connected the cable into the charger and a light showed up.. After 30 min I saw a battery icon and after 1 hour I could turn up the phone.
When turned on, it showed 3% battery, so I let it charge for about 5 hours. While charging I've noticed something strange.. it was charging very slow. After 4h of charging it was showing just 16% battery and 1h later it was suddenly at 70%. After it got till 99% I unplugged the charger and tried to use the phone.
Everything worked till I wanted to restart it. The phone doesn't want to start up! Pressing the powerbutton for 20-30 seconds.. nothing happens. Tried the volume button combination.. nothing. Plugged it into my PC and after 10 min the battery icon showed up?! The battery was at 0%! The battery went from 99% to 0% just by turning it off!
I've let the phone charge again, this time the whole night (7 hours).. It was fully charged at 100%. I disconnected the charger and turned off the phone.. and again: a black screen.
I've Googled and searched everywhere but couldn't find 1 thing.. what could be the problem of this? How can my phone go from 100% to 0% by turning it off?
I have no idea what is going on but you need to contact google asap, they'll send a replacement and hopefully the new one isn't a dud.
If you want to try playing with it, plug the phone into a different charger with a different cable, let it charge overnight/12hrs and give it another shot it could be a bad cable/charger (to be honest I think this is a long shot.)
Really sounds like a hardware problem.
Your only option is RMA.
Greetings, everyone!
I bought an N910C Note 4 back in 2015, has been working flawlessly up until the last couple months where I couldn't go more than 5 minutes off the charger without the phone dying and having to recharge it again. About a month ago, I bought a new battery and it resolved my phone's performance issues completely. At least, so I thought.
After around 2 days of having the new battery, my phone has been giving me a new issue: The phone immediately turns off(No Samsung screen or anything) when un-locking the screen or when doing just about anything(Although Chrome seems to be an exception, I haven't tested it again yet) past a certain battery percentage(Seems to be around 60% or so) and is unresponsive unless I do a battery pull or I put the charger in. Now here's the thing though, after it turns off and I put the charger back in, it still shows either the same percentage it had when it died or sometimes 2-5% less charge. After I turn it back on, the cycle continues.
I've done the following:
-Tightening the screws on the phone
-Dialing *#0228# and re-calibrating the battery
-Charging via computer with third party USB and charging via wall with original charger
-Disabled Fast Charging
-Running in safe mode
-Deleting Cache Partition
I have rooted the phone two months ago, and it is on 6.0.1. I did do a factory reset prior to getting the new battery, but I will try again if it is suggested.
Thank you for reading and I appreciate any help.
EDIT: It seems that prolonged usage of an app(As in not switching between apps or closing it out) seems to give me usage all the way to about 34-14%, where the phone then shuts off.
