Hi,
After more than one year of usage, my battery has finally bulged and discharging rapidly. I thought its time to change the battery and inserted the Samsung note 2 battery that i bought some time back. Noe the problem is my mobile is not switching on, kept the old xolo battery and still it is not switching on. When i plugin the cable to power socket or to a computer it is just blinking a red light for a second and turning off again. No signs of charging also.
Please Help Me !!!!!!

Help....seems that my Magician is dead....making a long phone call (1 h) after call end, display switch off and Notification led become fix Blue (bluethoot was off) and then i try to hard reset. Led switch off and no results. I try then to put the power supply cable and the led become RED.... !!! (neve seen red.....) pda is not switching on anymore...any details on the reason of this RED light ???....please.....
thanks in advance
Red LED means the battery isn't connected or the device can't charge.
Try taking the battery out for a few hours and try to switch the device on again.
My brother in-law had the red LED issue too, we solved it by 'kick starting' the battery with two wires and a 9v battery. (At your own risk of course).
Good luck!

Red Led doesn't mean that the battery is not connect with the device. It simply means the cover is not properly intact. Try taking out the battery off the device, put it back in the slot. Place the cover carefully and completely. And then connect the device to AC power supply. It would definitely come *alive*
still dead....grrrr
so cover is ok...it seems to be properly fixed, even the smal swithch that create some unwanted crash few months ago is now working properly...
i made a 1 h long phone call with battery and charger (usb from pc) and after line felt down, bluetooth led blue on (was off) and screen with phone but no changement by touching it. so switch off by power off and ...dead...now without battery but with charger (or usb from PC) RED led on. With batttery AND charger RED on, and with battery all dead. i cannot reset anyhow with or without battery /charger....need it...sh*t.....(ops...sorry)
thanks a lot anyway....

what I will suggest is, you should get a new battery instead!!
Got the same problem now!
Both my wife and me got a Magician. Hers is dead now - same symptoms.
First guess was dead battery as well. But I exchanged it with mine fully loaded. No difference!
Usually when you plug the powercord into the device orange flashes up and device boots. Here nothing happens.
I'll have some electrician have a look at both. Maybe he can find the fault by comparison. But I don't expect a lucky outcome.
on back side of ur device when u remove the battery cover, u see a small black switch on the right side just next to the battery.
put the device on charge..with cover off---it will show red light contunuously on.
now manually press gently that black switch and see if ur device starts to charge.
if u see a yellow light any point of time doing this u may have to get this little switch repaired or do a temporary work urself by kepping it at place manually bu something.
try and tell
Now it works!
I think we all knew about that little switch. But thanks for your thoughts.
Anyway, hers is running again!
Two days ago I took it fully apart. No obvious fault noticeable. I left it the way it was now to prepare it for shipping. Today my wife asked me I should try it just once again. So I held the battery on the connector and plugged the USB cable and then: it booted!
But the internal battery doesn't seem to recover. It stays at 0% (1h "charging" since then).
I have to correct myself: Even the internal battery is charging (but it takes its time).
my magician is also dead and just the red LED is burning when i put it in the USB! Can anybody help me?
Still ned solution!
Can some one who was having the same problem help?
your device battery detector switch(little switch) is broken or logged-out of Main Board.
when it broken,the red LED is on at all.
it is the greatest weakness of magician...

any one with the same problem!????
or any one having solution!
REGARDS
I'm gettingn red led light too when charging from wall outlet. Charging from usb is fine. a weird thing is when my battery came down to 50%, imate jam will shut down and won't successfully reboot. some people from this form mentioned it's an indicator that the battery is dying.
i just buy new battery and when i put it into ac charger nothing happens. what i can do now?
I've read about ROMs where the charging icon won't turn on during charging, but the battery is still being charged...
Can you turn the phone on to check the battery status properly? It should turn on even if the battery doesn't work, as it'll be powered by the AC charger.
my wizard also wonot turn on , there is nothing , no usb conn., no charging , nothing
please any help ??????????????????????
Same situation. My mini S was going bonkers back then as the screen no longer aligns when you shift to using to the keyboard and back. Forgot to recharge it as was frustrated not being able to use it properly and after that it simply won't charge anymore. Did the battery jump-start thing and even bought a new battery plus recharged the internal battery yet it still won't turn on. No LED red light or anything.
Has anyone come up with a solution yet?
I bought new HD2.
I have this phone for 4 days.
I think sth is wrong with my battery - 100%, I make a 4 min call, suddenly I have 96%. Another call - 10 min - 89%.
A tried many things, tricks mentioned here on the forum. Didnt help.
(HR, clean system without programs, took out micro sd cards - nothing changed).
Today I ve tried to charge it (from 2%) - I turned off the phone - wait 4 hours. Still amber light. But when I turn on the phone (still connected to a charger) light changed to green (and i saw 100% status battery on taksbar), then i turned off again, and green light changed again to a amber light.
Have you the same?
Or that means I have corrupted battery?
Ive been on many forums, and i see people saying - battery is for 1 or 2 days, and another group - battery for 8-10 hours.
Be grateful for your ansewers - I dont know what to do.

After 4 hours of charging the battery should be about full. But it why not charge it all night? If the phone is new you should charge it a longer for the first couple of times. And the battery could drain faster the first few times.
You didn't mention if you turned on Wifi, bluetooth, data connection, GPS, 100% screen brightness, heavy apps. All of them might drain your battery faster.
the longest i have personally experienced, and I am currently still opn this status, is that one single battery charge lasted me 4 days. While draining about 5-10% each day.
How tho? I simply dont know! to be honest, I somehow managed to screw up my today screen so I can have no htc sense on and sometimes nothing on.
anyway about the battery charging, I suggest you to read this.
dunno where I got it from and real or not, it might just help you
good luck

cheers
Thx for your answers.
But tell my about this indicator - green and amber lights.
I turns green only when I charge battery and phone is ON.
But when I charge battery while phone is off, then i can wait 3-4 ours it's still amber (but when I turn on phone suddenly it changes to green and it shows 100%).
The four hour charge - was that with the charger or USB computer charging?
I can do full charge in 1.5 hours from the charger and over 4 hours on the USB computer charging.
ok, it donest matter - usb or cable.
matters - phone ON or phone OFF.
When phone is on - turns green.
When off - it is all the time amber (red) - using USB or cable, doesnt matter. But when i turn on the phone it changes to green. when i turn off, it changes to amber again.
Hi guys!
I know, that there are some threads about the topic, but i think, here it is a bit different...i´ll describe:
Everything was OK with my withe G1, since I forgot to recharge the battery, and the G1 switched off. I wanted to recharge it, but - you know- the red led light blinked...i read different threads etc, and then I decided, to buy a new battery. The new battery arrived yesterday, and I put it in my G1, tried to switch it on, and it worked. I was quite happy! I taped it on the charging unit, and the first problem: the battery display didnt moved, it remained at 23%, also after a few hours at the charging unit. I knew the problem, because it was the same with my old battery, but it doesnt interest me, because the battery recharged, only the battery indicator showed that not. I thought OK, dont thinked about it, and waited. Today: I took my G1, yes, battery display at 23%, no problem. I switched it off and after a few hours I wanted to switch it on. Second problem - F**K! The red led light blinked...and now, the battery doesnt recharge at all. The G1 works now only, if the charging unit is put on it, if I remove it, the G1 switchs off. Its the same behavior with the old battery.
I dont know what to do now, because i dont think, that it is a hardwarebug, because yesterday it worked, with the brandnew battery. Or is it possible, that the G1 destroys my batterys while switching it off?
I hope, that there are solutions for this...because im loosing my temper slowly...
Can you charge the battery if the phone is off? Red led light should show. You should wait even 30-60 minutes for this - it depends of battery discharge. If the red light will not show this will means that your hardware is broken (phone or phone charger). You can try use another phone charger to test.
That works sometimes....at the moment not, but one hour before, yes.
I had the G1 with the USB cable on the PC, the phone was off, the light was red (not blinking). I waited about 50minutes, then disconnected, tried to switch it on - nothing except a red led light - blinking
At the moment, there isnt any led light, if i connect the phone to the charger unit or the PC...
It looks like hardware problem :/
Would be OK, because there is still warranty.
But what irritates me, is, that it worked without problems, when the battery was charged. Also with the new battery...worked good, since I switched the phone off.
I only want to be sure, because the return merchandise authorization (rma) takes quite long time...
I have the same problem. last week i bought the phone, and used it till the phone battery was empty. I tried to recharge the phone, but i wouldn't go on, only the red light blinking. I had the phone charged for 2 days, with the og charger, no result. Looked like the phone was dead.
Today i tried it again, still no result. All of a sudden the phone turned on and was charging. It is now on 99%.
Should i contact HTC?
edit:
sorry, wrong forum
Just a wild guess. It could also be the ROM that you have. I had a similar problem with my battery drained out like that with flashing red light. Come to find out later that it was something to do with the ROM (CM6.x) that I was using.
Hi! I am asking for my friend regarding this weird battery problem he is facing.
His Note 4 (SM-N910G) could be like 70+% then out of the blue, it just black out and didn't even bother shut down properly. Then plugging in back the charger, the phone says his phone is currently 0% already on the bootloader charging screen.
Then he could not turn on his phone immediately or else it will black out again when turning on. He have to wait for the charger to charge the battery awhile before switching it on.
He already tried a new battery and the same thing happens.
