Several times when my HD2 had very low power it would go through a reset-reboot cycle which eventually resulted in a power off-> charge (I couldnt get it to merely remain powered off whilst charging as it would always start up and attempt a boot whenever I either put the bat in or pluged it in)
Last time this happened, however, it stopped charging altogther. I have two batteries, neither of which charge. Ive tried several roms and have now even returned to winmo 6.5!
BTW the roms flash ok, but in all cases, the phone restarts at some stage during boot.
The phone behaves as if Ive pulled the battery when I pull the usb cable, hence why it feels to me as if its an issue related to the battery not charging.
Any ideas? Anyone successfully charged up a battery without it being in the phone?
Thanks!
sorry *facepalm* just noticed one of the power pins was bent! Fixed!!
Hey all;
Issue 1 : Its almost impossible to turn on.
The times I cannot get it to turn on it also doesn't show that the phone is charging when plugged in (no battery on screen, no led indicator).
If I reinsert battery a few times whilst plugged into a charger it will sometimes work sometimes will not (I've tried multiple batteries on known working charger)
I know when it has worked as the phone vibrates when battery inserted randomly and screen shows the battery charging symbol, then I am able to also turn it on normally.
Issue 2: When charging phone it becomes too hot to touch on the front glass about 1/4 below the earpiece
This is with the phone switched off; with it turned on; same thing but it never gains charge. (fresh ROM flashed, first boot, no connections, sim or wifi)
It also becomes hot when plugged into charger without the battery inserted; assuming strange processor issue?
I tried to charge it from 10%, it reached 35% before I unplugged it as I was concerned the phone would burst into flames; it had become untouchable/almost scalding on the front glass and the battery was absorbing a lot of the heat.
Issue 3: Wifi will not switch on.
Maybe problem with the processor also? although I did not attempt this on a few different stock roms yet.
More details:
So far I've flashed a stock ROM (actually I’ve tried 3 versions so far, two KitKat and one Lollypop); including flashing correct PIT files with each and using NAND erase all just to see if it would help.
I am using Odin 3.09 with good success; I’ve never had a write issue and it behaves itself very well always detecting the phone instantly in boot mode without fail. I've succeeded with all odin flashes of stock roms and booted each one without too much trouble.
The power drain is sufficient that the phone will only stay turned on for a few hours right after a fresh flash (e.g NO user apps; nothing; no sim; no Wi-Fi; NOTHING); after which I have to swap batteries with another (I'm using a working S4 to charge these).
Thanks to all.
My 6P on 6.0.1 stock with the march update has had occasional times where it will intermittently charge, then stop, then charge endlessly, changing back and forth about once a second or more often. There's been times I've woken up, like today overnight when I noticed it barely inched up a percent or two on the Google USB-C cable connected to my laptop.
To isolate this from being a defective cable issue, this has also happened with the Google charger that came with the phone. I would see the screen turn on in fact, like when you first plug the phone with the screen off, to indicate charging has begun. That would occur every few seconds.
I'm a little concerned. The time it happened with the charger, a reboot seemed to have calmed it down. But today no matter the restart, the charging just keeps cycling nonstop.
Anyone else had this? Would it be wise to file a problem with the Google forums and contact support?
Thanks for any help!
Same problem here
Dang, good to know I'm not alone!
I've also experienced higher battery drain (twice more I'd say) than normal recently. Even overnight when I used to see hourly drain rates of 0.5%, now I see 1.5% and higher. Getting worried the charging issue may be damaging the battery. But it could also be the patch or a rogue app.
I have the same issue - it started about 3 days ago
Well either the cords bad, the brick is bad, or the receptacle. Or the charging port on the phone, the battery or power control module in the phone. Or if theirs a thick case on your phone.
Sounds like it starts to charge then stops. But I'm no electrician. Oh wait, yes I am.
It starts to charge, then stops as though the cable was disconnected, then resumes within half a second, then disconnects, and so on and so forth non stop.
Case might be a reason. It's a rubber and plastic transparent Spigen one. I'll try removing it when it happens again next time.
But at this rate, sounds like 3 people are having the same issue, and if it's a hardware one, then damn....
This isn't the charger... There is something buggy with the update. I woke up a few days ago after the march update with an almost dead phone, and the charging icon flashing over the battery, as if the phone new it was plugged in but refused to charge. I unplugged and plugged it back in with the same result. I restarted and tried again, same result. I was only able to get it to charge my plugging it into my girlfriend's nexus 5x charger, which instantly started charging my phone. I went back to my charger and all of the sudden no issue and the phone was charging fine. There is definitely something up with this update.
Well then, that makes 4 people now.
What's a good way to report this?
I'm not seeing the same exact issue as you guys, but I AM having charging issues after updating to MHC19I. I can still charge my phone from the stock charger and my other USB-C chargers, but now none of them allow my phone to charge rapidly. Do you guys who can get your devices to charge from a rapid charge compatible charger see the "Charging Rapidly" message on the lock screen? Ever since this recent update, I've noticed that my device isn't (and is taking over 2 hours to charge fully from ~20%).
I have this problem too. It's fixed by a reboot so I'm assuming it's not a hardware problem. It only happens once a week or so.
The first time it happened I didn't notice the charging/not charging and only realised something weird had happened because my phone was off & showing fully charged. My phone is never switched off.
I figured it out the next time when I noticed the screen was still on during the night. Switching from charging to not charging was keeping the screen on.
So glad it's not just me.

I normally see it say that on the USB C charger. That being said, you seem to have an intermediate speed going on, as opposed to super slow normal USB cable speeds and the USB-C fast charger. In my experience most 1-1.5V low amp ports like my Mac's, or the car's USB port will charge at a rate of about 1% per 3-5 minutes. So a full charge would take 8-9 hours from 0%. From the USB-C wall charger it would be about 1%/m so an hour and forty is enough to get it back to full.
Based on that your charger seems to be somewhere in the middle.
But yes it isn't normal. If you are using Google's native hardware, you should see the same charging speed as I am.
I'm just terribly worried this cycling is destroying my battery. I have definitely not gotten the same battery life the last few weeks.
Hey guys!
I experience sort of the same problem as you guys, but i have the Nexus 5x
i copy from my thread at google nexus forum
My phone just randomly die. It will work for like 2 hours. Almost like the battery would been disconnected.
When the phone shutdowns it says the battery is low and try to charge. The Battery icon with a flash is showing, but just for 5-7 seconds, then it shutdown again and it's looping again and again and again.... To get out of the loop i'm booting in to fast boot, then push at start. and it is almost 50/50 if it is working. It can be booting up and you see the red/yellow/green/blue yada yada boot-up sequence then in 5-7 seconds in to the sequence it would shutdown again immediately.
I tried several factory-resets. re-flashed to stock. Nothing helps.

Same issue
Just starting having this issue. It constantly says charging then a second later shows no charging and the process keeps repeating itself. I did a reset and the issue seems to be resolved for now. Really hope this isn't a constant issue. Definitely appears to be software related though.

I hadn't had it for a while then recently it happened again once. I still don't know what triggers it for sure.
The battery drain is also rather random. There are days I can expect the unit to idle and drain at or below 2%/h, but lately it just goes through it way faster, twice that. I am unsure why and how that happens so randomly. Seems the Google Play Services and Google Apps are using up some %s. Not much else I can identify.
I've had this issue since a few days ago, restarted the phone and it's come right for now.
Haven't experienced this in weeks now.
Seems largely gone.
Any updates on this? My Nexus 6P started showing the same symptoms (either won't charge at all, or charging cycles on and off rapidly (< 1 second) and only sometimes charges). The issue appeared out of the blue 4-5 days ago, just before the 1 year anniversary of receiving the phone. I tried different cables and adapters, still no change. Last night at 11pm it was at 50% when I set it to charge and it seemed to charge. This morning at 6:30 am it had only charged up to 83% and was charging on and off. Worried about how to reliably use the phone if it won't charge, and also how this might affect the battery / other circuitry.
Any help/tips appreciated!
Edit: The phone hasn't been dropped or had any other issue that may affect the hardware. Also, no OS update or anything recently (AFAIK - it did not ask me to install anything, not sure if there were any silent updates). It is currently on Android 7.0 Nougat (baseband version angler-03.72, build NBD90X, security patch level Oct 5, 2016).
Have not had this in a long time. It sort of stopped on its own. :S
Solved (for me anyways)
I just had to restart the device.
I'm having the same issue on my LG G5. Started out of the blue and like others, restarting temporarily solves the problem. Anyone solve this yet?
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.
So. My phone has this problem, and its pretty weird (IMO). It is possible that it is a hardware problem.
I going to work and I dropped my phone. Didn't think much of it. The phone worked fine for several hours. It started around 40% and only declined somewhat, until about 2-3 hours later where it dropped rapidly to 6%. It was in my pocket when it dropped. I figured at the time that I had just forgotten to turn the screen off, so it drained much more battery. I then plugged it in, and it charged for a little while on a non-turbo charged cord, getting to 21% (which is what it said when it was off). After I turned it on however, it was only at 12%. I didn't bother with it at the moment, but after about 5 minutes it dropped to zero in about 5-10 seconds from when it started dropping. This was concerning, but I had to go back to work so I plugged it back in. When I came back and rebooted it showed 11%, and it stayed at 11% for several hours while I was using it, even though I wasn't charging it. Then randomly it dropped super quickly and died. I turbo charged it overnight. In the morning I booted it up and it immediately shut down claiming there was 0% battery life. It will not boot up without being plugged in. This goes on.
Usually, I charge it for a while and it will give a higher number than it will say when it boots up. It sticks at that boot up number for longer than it should, then dies rapidly. Occasionally it will boot up to be 0% and immediately die. I have tried turning in on and off again (without it dying) and it wont turn back on claiming too low of power regardless of how charged it said it was before. I have tried various charging cables and wall outlets. I have tried several battery repair apps, which did nothing. I was going to try and do a root version, since I figured that would be better but cannot root it. (Using adb to sideload comes up with an error (signature verification failed), trying to flash twrp fails (pre-flash validation failed) and normal root methods fail.) Oh yeah, and I've also factory reset it a few times.
So it seems to me that it's a software problem, namely the battery driver, since it appears to be charging and holding a charge for the most part, but then shutting down randomly due to the driver saying it is at 0% battery life. Alternatively, it could be a problem with the battery or charging port, although nothing seems to be wrong with the charging port visually.
Also potentially of note is that my normal turbo charger, when plugged in, puts a lightning bolt icon in the battery symbol, but on battery usage it says not charging. This could also be the chargers fault, since it had begun to fail previously (only working at certain angles) but it worked earlier the same day and now doesn't.
I didn't install any new updates to the OS or installed any new apps before this occurred either.
Any idea whats going on and how to fix it?
EDIT: I've been trying to look up and see if there was a driver or something for the battery that I could reinstall but I couldn't find anything. So, I ordered a replacement battery of Amazon. Now the question becomes will that fix my problem if I replace the battery?
Think so this might solve your issue ,but getting it checked before ordering would be wise.
Going through your rooting steps , i didnt see that you unlocked your device thats why you are getting errors of signature verification failed.
There is no separate battrey driver for Android its the part of OS itself so you dont need to mess up with that area
Uh... yeah well, Droid Turbo 2's can't root. It wont work. The bootloader is locked up tight, even if you select it in developer options it does nothing.

HI,
has your problem resolved after replaced the battery?
