My battery won't charge, but when I plug it in to charge it says it's charging and the level of charge doesn't lower, but it definitely doesn't go up either. So after a while my battery is dead. I tried using other chargers and even a new battery. Is there any way to fix this??
I had same problem + Couple more
ok i had same problem + couple more .
a. battery would not charge or after 4 hours of chargin it would charge 5%
b. battery and the back of the phone became very hot just after few miniutes of use .
c. touch screen responce was not right even after calibrating 10s of times .
Attempts
1. so i flashed latest stock att rom and different other roms , didn't help .
2. tried battery cycle or whatever its called 3 times , didn't help . I read somewhere in xda forums , i think it means to take out the battery and not recconect it to the phone for half an hour . then insert the battery but do not turn your phone on . charge it for 8 hours . unplug charger and turn it on .
3. Last thing i did was flash a different radio and did the power cycle again .
Guess what - Battery works fine just like before . i think it was because of the att new radio rom which killed my battery . try it mightwork for you .
Solution (may be) : - reflash to a custom radio and also rom other than what you have right now .
my touch sceen started working fine but now again its doing the same thing .
Good luck buddy .
Hello, a while back I posted a charging problem, which turned out to be the Mini-USB and Wall Charger was bent, and before that, the Mini USB outlet in the phone broke entirely. Well, another problem has arisen, as finally got a new charger yesterday, and worked perfectly. So, I shut it off, and left it to charge overnight. Now, the problem? All of a sudden, it refuses to boot. Held down the power button for 5 seconds, 20 seconds, and a full minute. Nothing. Any suggestions?

nothing AT ALL? or the screen turns on and gets stuck?
if nothing at all happens, try the battery jump start method
Well, after constant trying at starting the phone, I managed to have it boot after hours. What happened? During the boot,where it displays Windows Mobile 6, a line appeared, and the phone darkened, and then crashed.
What the hell.
I suggest a hard reset......

....................And how can I hard reset when it doesn't boot, and whenever it does, crashes during it?
Anyone that's here help?
I'm currently having the same problem with mine. Hard resetting didn't work for me but you may as well try it.
If you can get it to start booting for just a few seconds you can hard reset it without loading the operating system. As soon as you get it to turn on, hold down the Wifi and Voice command buttons (one's on the left, one on the right). After holding those down, press the soft reset button (the little button on the right that you can press with your stylus) very quickly and release it. If you hold the soft reset button too long, it will perform a regular soft reset and you'll have to start over, so do that quickly.
A black screen should come up and tell you to press your send button to hard reset your phone.
I have similar problem,It's turn on to the logo that's always shown when boot and then it show the logo till it discharged.I tried hard reset,but it's still the same,i post 2 topic's in this website and no one help me
i too am facing the same problem, i was able to start it a few times but it crashed after a few seconds each time. i m gonna charge it all night and see if it starts. right now all i m getting is the red led. i really hope someone finds a solution soon.
With me it was my battery that caused the problem. Try it with the battery of another wizard. Succes, Rietje
ok so i charged it for more than 12 hours and my wizadr still didnt start.
I then got a NEW BATTERY and my wizard turned on within the very moment i pressed the power button.
So any one who is facing a similar problem should try a new battery.
Yea,this is a second time when i have this problem.I both A new battery,BUT IT STILL THE SAME!!!
First time when i both a new battery it was working fine,but now the battery won't help

try a battery frm a friends phone. u ll be sure that the battery u r using works fine. if ur phone still doesnt work then u need to have it checked.
i have same problem,,and i use T-Mobile MDA Vario
is it just battery problem or not?and if the PDA inactive it can still charge or not?
and i usually use blackberry charger to charge my PDA,is it ok?and is there any possibility my PDA can't work again?i hope not
pls help me..
Well for starters, charging your phone overnight will probably damage the battery over time. It's only the newer phones and batteries that are able to withstand extended overcharging times without serious damage to the battery. With older phones including the K-JAM/MDA Vario, the battery is meant to be charged till its full, and no more. If you overcharge it, you run the risk of damaging your battery and possibly the phone too.
If a new battery hasn't fixed your problem, the problem lies in your phone's mainboard.
Try charging your phone from a USB port on a computer to see if anything happens.
Hi all , I've recently started having this problem with my n10 where if I let it die off on zero charge and then connect it to a charger ( proprietary , mobile chrgrs ,tried 'em all save for the pogo).the screen doesn't show anything and if I try to start it , it just shows an image with a battery charging icon (not the animation , just a static image ) for a while and then the screen goes black.
I've had this problem twice now and both times it seemed to return to normal after a while on the charger ( charging animation and all ). But I'm concerned that this is something serious . Any tips ?
Thanks in advance

You mustn't let it go down to 0%. You must charge it when the battery is around 45-50% more or less. Also you can check on google play, Nexus 10, they recommend what i'm telling you.

You're killing the battery by doing this to ANY Li+ battery. You shouldn't do that. Like above post said, or when at 10-15%, plug it in and leave it alone. What you're doing will override the safeties and permanently drain the battery, and potentially to 'true' 0%. When it reaches 'true 0%', you kill the battery permanently.
Thanks for your replies guys . The reason I was doing this was because of a few roms I flashed . After flashing, the battery indicator seemed to incorrectly show the battery percentage ( wouldn't go down below 90% for ages ) and I read somewhere that letting it shut itself off and then recharging would set things right .
Things are okay now but in case I get these battery indiacator problems again , what's the best recourse ?
Thanks in advance .

It could be your Phone Board Assembly (mainboard) and require RMA, in which case, they don't care if its rooted/etc. I had to send it in twice for that issue, as it turned out to be hardware, not software.
About 14 out of 15 times I fully drain the battery to zero. The 15th time I bump charge. I do this because I feel it gives better overall battery life.
Its impossible for me to state that (the above) without people chiming in about "how to do your battery"... Let me just say that I've researched that topic extensively, and am happy with my method. Please do not start a battery discussion thread jack here! Now, with that out of the way...
-You can drain your battery to 0% and not "break" any aspect of the device. When people talk "battery theory" they are mainly referring to the charge curve of the battery over time. Its impossible to harm this in "one or two charges", so if you truly do experience a problem then you may have a defective unit.
-Part of the behavior you describe does not sound broken to me. When the battery is fully dead, the unit cant power on. When you plug in the charger, the battery icon appears. It starts off as an empty battery. It should do a "charging animation" though, that I did not hear you say... Then, you cant power it back on immediately after plugging in the charger.
-The part you say about the indicator being off DOES sound like a problem that others are reporting here and there, and hands down dibblebill is an expert on that topic!
Sadly, I am. Keep demanding they replace your Phone Board Assembly when you call, otehrwise they'll swap your battery and send it back.
Hi guys ,
I have nexus 4 that suddenly turned down and won't boot since then (around a week ago) .
It seems like the "red light of death" syndrome , but i'm not sure :
Holding the power for some time and connecting charger results in flashing red light , (sometimes it's solid for few seconds and then goes flashing again) . I never managed to get a solid red light that stays or even a flashing one without holding the power and charging at the same time.
Before the phone died I had more then 90% battery so I doubt it's a battery drain issue .
I tried all the suggestions and keys combinations that I found and nothing helped yet .
I still haven't tried opening it up because I still have a slight faith that maybe warranty might help (bought 3 month ago from Google store and then shipped it internationally , so I don't know how the warranty thing will go.
Any help will be appreciated !
(I'm also wondering assuming I open the phone and nothing helps , will battery replacement do the trick or is it more a motherboard issue ?)
Thanks !
That's RLOD for sure. The problem didn't come from your battery. The problem is the undervolting or overclocking settings that you have apply to your CPU. Don't know about warranty. But if you want to get your device working again asap just open it, detach the battery connector, attach it again and charge it/power on the phone.

Hi,
One thing that is really weird started to happen recently.
(About Once per 10~20 days)
#And it's that my Note4 just suddenly die in the middle of usage no warnings.
#The screen becomes totally black no LED lights, and pressing the home or power button doesn't wake it up.
#the only 2 ways to turn it on back again is either you have to plug in the charger or remove the battery and put it back again.
Now i thought that the battery is probably the issue.
But the strangest part is that. When i turn the phone back on The battery still has the same percentage before it died so i can simply continue using the rest of the charge without any issues. (Apparently it holds the charge just ok?)
It's almost like getting turned off by it self except you can't turn it back on unless u connect a charger for a second or reinsert the battery.
Note that: this isn't the original battery that came from the device as the original one started to have less screen on time than before about 3.5 to 4.5hrs not bad but the newer one i bought which is supposedly original or atleast the highest quality i could find it gave me 5hrs to 6.5hrs of screen on time.
I'm not sure if it's the battery or a software bug.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Try this fix guide i made .

If this doesn't fix then 100% battery issue go get a new battery.
