Heyas guys,
I had my N4 on charge overnight, woke up to the alarm i set but as soon as i touched my phone it turned off and wouldn't turn on again.
on charge it showed a steady red LED. i realised that the charging cable had its D+ and V+ (Green and Red wires) broken so i assumed the battery had just reversed its flow of current and drained.
I tried all the button combos to no avail, so i ordered a NEW battery and replaced it just then.
still no boot, steady red LED on charge.
Any Solutions? (i've searched)
and any way of getting the data off somehow?
thanks!

Has anyone else noticed when you plug in the Phone to be recharged, occasionally the 'red' indicator does not come on or disappears?
It's now happened to me several times ~ I plug the Phone in for a recharge, initially the red light comes on then after a few seconds it goes out leaving no indication if it's charging or when it's complete.

"Wiggle" the charger around and see if the charge light goes on and off!

Could it due to bad physical connection?
No guys.
I'Ve cheched all connections.
Besides, if I leave it plugged in whilst there is no light showing and switch off the Phone the red charging light then comes on.

Well this is now really starting to bug me.
I've carried out a Hard Reset thinking something was interferring with the charge light procedure but even on a default machine with the device running the red light simply does not come on.
Swith the Phone off, then connect and the red light appears.
So.... when my machine is running I don't get the indicator (but it is charging I know because after leaving it for 30mins I've checked and sure enough it's charging).
Any other ideas???
My Trinity does this when overheating, it stops charging and blinks the LED. Unplug for 10 minutes and replug.

Now that's an answer I was not expecting...... Thanks tnyynt, I'll give that a go on my next charge cycle.
Edited:
No... that didn't work.... but thanks all the same.
I have now resigned myself to the fact if I want to see the red charging light the only way is to first power down the Phone, then connect to the mains electric and then the red charge light comes on.
If I want I can then switch the Phone back on again whilst charging until the green charged light shows.

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.
So my phone is doing quite a weird thing. Let me go from the start.
I was waiting to finish a TV Show to check my voicemail, but every minute or so my phone would buzz, but wouldn't show any notifications. So when the show finished, I went to check the voicemail, but the phone was out of batteries. No problem, it was at 4 percent last time I looked, it must have just gone through that last bit of battery quick, maybe it had to do with the weird vibrating. So I plugged it in and went to the bathroom.
When I came back, it was charging with the red LED on iirc. I pressed the power button and the big battery icon came up and showed it was charging, so I held down the power button to turn it on and went to the kitchen while it booted up. When I came back though, it wasn't booted up, and the red LED was flashing.
This is the weird part though. All those red LED of death threads say the LED was flashing on and off, red to black. Mine is flashing red to red. Like a bright red to a slightly dimmer red. If I hold down the power button for a while, it starts flashing on and off red, but faster than I've seen it before, like when the battery gets completely discharged.
Does anyone know what is going on?
TL;DR: My phone is flashing a bright red to dim red LED while it's plugged in, instead of the normal on-off red led. It won't turn on. Help!!
How long have you had it charging? And is it charging though a wall charger or usb?
If it's been over two hours, have you tried turning the phone on when unplugged?

Yeah, eventually after a whole bunch of different combinations I was able to turn the phone on and get it charged up ok. Thanks!
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.
From yesterday (18/07/2019), my OP5 have started facing issue.
First when i tried to charge my phone , LED was showing red but the battery was not charging. Then i restarted my phone. So it was charging but slow charging (still red LED).
did some google research and finally cleared device cache memory through recovery.
I rebooted and plugged my charger. First it showed red (slow) , then after few minutes it showed blue led (DASH).
I thgt problem is solved.
Today morning again kept for charging and now it is slowing red LED. if i press the plug into port storngly after few minutes it becomes blue.
Im not able to understand whether its hardware or software issue.
Please guuide

To check if it's a hardware issue you should exchange your dash charger and the original dash charge cable if possible or clean all the pins and check if they're damaged.
