Hello,
Two days ago, i was charging my phone, everything was fine and normal. But then
it stop charging, I change cords, Changed adapters to no avil. Then i plugged it into the wall again, but it still wasn't charging so i uplugged it and my phone went crazy, Saying it was charing, then it wasn't then it was then is wasn't then it was. Mind you my phone isn't plug to no power source it just. When i charge my phone when it's off, my phone vibrate and have a thin white light pop up when it vibrate, like it's about to turn on but it don't. sometime it comes on and charge but if i move the cord it will stop. and when the phones is on it charge sometimes but again i have to work with it and move the cord around. So my phone charge but only when it wants to which not to offten. I haven't dropped my phone, no water damage no nothing. The only thing is thought i cut my phone off that night and when i woke up it was on.
P.S I am running android version 4.4.2, my phone fail to do the UPDATE. if this mean anything.

I've had my Aria for about a month now, and just last night I started running in to trouble getting it to charge. I had plugged my phone into an outlet when I went to bed (I saw the orange light go on, then turned the screen off) and when I checked my phone the next morning, the charging LED wasn't on and the battery was at 42% (a fan was plugged in, too, and it was clearly working, so it's not the outlet).
Now, no matter if I plug it in to the wall or my computer, the charging LED SOMETIMES goes on for a second or two, but then as soon as I turn the screen off the LED goes off. Also, if I get it to start charging while using the phone, I noticed that putting the phone face-down makes it stop charging. I can't connect it to my computer to sync or anything, and Windows sits there and makes the "device connected" and "device disconnected" sounds in rapid succession.
Does this sound like a problem with my Aria's software, hardware, or the charger itself?
One thing you can do is take it to where you bought it and have them open a new box or use a known good charger and usb cord to test those two parts out. If that does not fix it then you are right there to take a new phone home.
So I forgot about the #1 rule when it comes to dealing with fussy electronics: Wait a day. Nothing changed, physically or software-wise, but my phone will now charge just like it used to.
Of course, thinks makes me suspect that something was freaking out on the software side, but hopefully it won't happen again once I put CM6 on it.
I woke up this morning and my phone was off. As you probably already know, the HD2 does not stay off if it is plugged in (with WP7 on it). I checked the charger and outlet; everything was plugged in. I also used a different charger, and different outlet which I know works, and got the same result. When the phone was plugged in it would turn on and start booting then I would see the flashing light - indicating that the battery was dying- and the phone would shut off. This happened like ten times.
I took out the battery and put it back in, with no results. Then I switched batteries and it finally worked. I'm still learning about technology in general; is it possible that my other battery is dead?
Has anyone else had this issue?
your other battery is probably just flat, and cant charge because it needs a running OS, and since the OS cant get far enough into the boot sequence to start charging, the several times it bootlooped will have drained the last of the charge.
Options - external charger, loan of a hd2 running winmo, or my personal fave, (used it three times now) usb cable with end cut off, red wire to + black wire to - on battery, hold for a minute or two, should have enough juice to boot far enough to begin charging. Best to use wall charger rather than pc usb, since the pc may connect and disconnect time or two whilst booting, preventing continual charge.
I forgot to mention that the first time that the I booted with the battery that doesn't seem to work I actually got to the wp7 home screen and it was about 20 seconds before the phone died.
Even so, I'll try that cut off cord thing when I reach home. Thanks for the advice.
I guess my phone just felt like being retarded the "flat" battery is working now.
Ok so, last night my phone was dying. I didn't charge it until about 5 PM today. However when I plugged it in, it wasn't picking up charge. I took off the battery and it looked like there was water under it, not a lot (no I haven't gotten my phone wet... or near water at all) so I wiped it off and plugged in a spare battery that I have. When I plugged that in, the camera flash turned on briefly and the phone began to blink orange. I left it plugged in for about 20 minutes then I tried turning it back on and nothing. Now when I unplugged it again I tried doing other thigns like turning it on without a battery while it's plugged in, doing it through usb (which when I plug it in through usb the PC makes that USB sound) and for a brief second I tried turning it on, and it DID show the "MyTouch 4G" logo, then it shut off. It hasn't been picking up charge right and I can't get it to turn on... What can I do? I got this off of craiglist and it was working fine for almost a month, so there's no warranty. Any suggestions?
Also, whenever I put in the "good" battery, the phone vibrates and the flash turns on. What do you guys think could be done??
And when I plug it in through USB it looks like it's "charging" (as in the light at the top is orange) and the buttosn turn on if I mess with them, but no image on the screen. Frustrating.
So, this phone was working without any problems but then my wife turned it off and left it in the drawer for about 3 weeks when she went overseas. When she got back and tried to turn it on it wont turn on. We figured it might have drained the battery so we plugged it in but now its not charging either! When I unplugged and plugged in, the LED blinked orange once but now it wont even do that either, no power, no LED, not charging either. I have tired everything, left it disconnected, battery out for an hour, then put it together and tried to charge, still nothing.
Any ideas? It is already out of warranty so talking to T-Mobile is out of question.
Nothing has been done to it, it is physically fine, it was just off for a long period and not it just wont respond.
Edit: Fixed it! I don't know what, I was almost giving up, but I took the battery out and blew hard on the battery contacts in the phone and in the charging port then plugged everything in and put it back on charger, orange light started to blink and then went solid and now its charging. I just turned it on. This phone is dodgy, no other phone hard bricks like this if you leave it off.
Some phones don't function with completely discharged battery. Actually, most of newer phones. You need to leave the battery inside and the phone connected to charger for some time, till the charging light shows up. MT4G is very far from being "dodgy", doesn't differ from many other phones that behave the same, and you were nowhere near "hard brick".
Good luck in powering up Motorola Defy with completely discharged battery.
Recoverable problem

Had a similar problem. Phone died while using it then wouldn't light up when plugged in. Left it plugged in for half an hour wouldn't seem to charge via wall or car charger. Tried doing a hard reset with/without the battery & plugged in/not plugged in in various combinations. Got nuthin. Drove around for hours looking for a replacement or open T-Mobile place, until it got too late and I went home. Live chat with T-mobile rep was a waste of time. Plugged it in the wall and left it, as this once brought back a G2 battery that I thought was cold dead. Five hours later it was lit up and charging, showing 40% charge on the battery indicator app once I turned it back on. "HTC Sense" crashed immediately on boot then recovered. Seems to be fine so far.
- Suggestion; plug it in and leave it overnight if it seems cold dead and doesn't appear to be charging. It seems to need to hit some critical threshold before it will work again (as indicated by previous poster). Also pick up a couple spares off amazon or newegg if you don't have a second phone available.
I am freaking out. I just plugged it in to charge it (not the charger that it came with) and it was only plugged in for a few minutes. I unplugged it and turned it on and now my screen looks like a crappy television from the '60s. It's all lined and flickering and horrible! What did I do! Did I destroy it??
EDIT: Turns out it was the charger that it came with, but I had plugged the micro-usb cable into an extension cable to increase the length. Could this have been the issue somehow?
I had this happen day 1 using the provided cable and charger. I turned it off and back on and never saw the problem again.
I had this same thing happen with my N7 recently.
I was reading something, the power hit 4% and the thing shut down. I tried turning it back on, but it refused. I plugged it in to charge it and tried to turn it on again and after a couple of tries, it came on. I must have knocked the power cable loose, but the screen went all white and black stripes, just like what you are describing. It took a bit to shut it off, but it eventually did. I plugged it back in, waited for about a minute, and the charging icon popped up. Unfortunately, the screen looked like crap. It looked like huge odd patterns were burnt into the screen. I was really worried. I turned the screen off again, tried to take my mind off of the situation for a while (maybe an hour or so) and came back and everything was normal. I have no idea what happened, but give it some time before you freak out; it may be fine.
You're right, it does seem better now. I plugged it in to charge from the standard charger like it's supposed to and turned it off for half an hour. Seems OK now. Thanks for the support, fellas. Why on earth does it do that? Should I know more about this in case it could be permanent at some point?
