So I upgraded to the latest mr clean rom and did some tweaks with the registry wizard. I was playing around with it for a while and turned it off to charge overnight. I wake up and try and turn it on and nothing. I've tried soft reset, and hard reset and it doesn't turn on or do anything. When I plug in my charger the light on my phone doesn't even come on. PLEASE HELP. WHAT CAN I DO!!!.
This exact same thing happened to me last week. I played with it everday hoping it would turn back on, but nothing worked. Out of nowhere, it powered back up after 7 days of being non-responsive.
So I would just suggest waiting it out and making sure it is fully charged. Sorry I don't have any better solutions, but this is what worked for me.
leave it charging (even if there is no light) for a couple of hourse. then hold the power button for 3 secs. It will work...ciao,V.
Charge it with the charger, not usb, mine did this and I thought it was dead but it's probably just a dead battery. For some reason it can self discharge to the point where the USB charger can't recharge it.
I've done that, had it charging for over 24 hrs now on the home charger. I guess the next step would be a new battery? Do T-mobile stores carry them? TIA
YOU HAVE TO USE THE ORIGINAL 1A CHARGER!!!!! 800mA will not do the job!!!
that's what i've done i think...the home charger... it doesn't say how many A though.
I fixed it , What I did was zap the battery with a 9v battery in 3 sec intervals, I did this about 5 times, then I pluged my phone into the charger and turned it on, the 9v gave it enough juice to boot up and the usb took over from there. So to everyone out there who is having this same problem, try this but don't over zap, check your battery with a multimeter.
my wizard wont turn on this morning. I just tested my battery and it's at 3.1 volts (not 3.7 as stated on the label)
Would your method work do you think ? My mains charger is at my girlfriends house i rely on usb here
Yeah I've had this issue before and I have it again. Last time it self-started after about an hour just sitting on the desk. This time it's taking longer, and is still out. I'm charging it as we speak - no light but I'm hopeful.
So this is a battery fault then? I guess that's a slight relief - I've already sent one in for repair and I can't do it again, as I'm on the far side of the channel..
ive never been backwards in trying these things out so i gave it a go. Slightly different method (a little safer).
Found an old 5v 2A charger lying around bared off the wires and used my meter to identify the positive and ground cores.
tested the battery again.. 3.1volts
applied the wires of the charger to the terminals for 5 secs
tested battery.. 3.25 volts
re applied wires for 5 secs
tested battery.. 3.45 volts
re applied wires for 5 secs
tested battery.. 3.52 volts
put in the wizard.. boot screen.
I think i have a seperate problem as i now have a red flashing light and then it locks up around 20 secs later but im a little further on at least !
cheers,
malty
all sorted here. I hadnt quite enough juice in the battery. Re applied the charger until the battery measured 3.62V Booted ok to the point then that the usb charger took over.
many thanks to the original poster
You saying that giving it brief jolts helps restore the battery? Given the time you applied it for, I can't really think it's being recharged by this action...
its a very temporary thing like a 'kick' and the extra voltage isnt sustained very long. It worked. thats all that matters
Yeah. But I'm reluctant to pump power into an electrical device without knowing why. In my case, the battery is giving a steady 4.2V output, which should be enough, no? In fact, the battery seems to be healthy in every way possible, and a few minutes before it died was reporting a ~80% charge...
I'll try kicking it though
4.2V is over voltage but yea that should be enough. sounds like you may have a more serious problem
Yeah, so do I. Battery was unaffected by a kick, output is still at the rated 4.2V, well above the needed 3.7V.
So, what would make an apparently healthy phone sporadically fail? It wasn't dropped or exposed to anything. I had it, on, on my desk. The screen turned off after 30 seconds, as usual, and then wouldn't turn back on. Soft and hard resets both fail to invoke any response whatsoever. No charging light.
The only thing that's different is that I did an ActiveSync for the first time in weeks, on a new computer, a few hours before it died. For which I'm extremely thankful, as I'd got a lot of data building up without a backup until then. But I'm doubtful that the sync has anything to do with the failure.
These symptoms occured before, a month or so ago, but the phone revived on its own after an hour or so. This one has been out two days now, which worries me.
Hi All,
THANK YOU!! I just bought this 8125 and thought I broke it in only 2 days. The 9 volt battery did the trick.
Now I can get on with trying to use it.
I have had the same problem last week and I used a 9V battery briefly onto the + and - of the phone-battery.
this just gave the phone-battery enough juice to start up and I was able to normally charge the phone again.
Old Trick but !!!Caution!!!
What you guys are doing is reviving a deeply discharged battery.
I frequently do that to normal AA 1.2v NiCd or NiMH Rechargeble battery that have not been used for a long time. When they measure about 0.2v you just jolt a 10v current through it for 1-3 seconds and then carry on charging as normal. If it does not come right, throw it away or use it as a paperweight
Problem comes in with the type of battery you do it with. I had a Lithium - Ion battery explode in my hands once.. (Thank god I wear glasses) I only had a few cuts on my hands and my shirt was ruined so I came off very lucky.
With lithium-Ion batteries one should be very carefull when attemting to boost it when deeply discharged... They dont like it very much.
My 10cents worth
The tablet doesn't seem to be charging with the provided charger ... is this normal ? Any known issue ? Or just a defect (bad luck) charger ?
disconnect charger for 20 mins , retry check USB connector it can be inserted backward. remove country prong adapter,check and reattach. Make sure the battery is never discharged to zero. LiPos do not like this.
I freaked out like this too for a whole day until I realized that damn country prong adapter had come a little bit loose. Its unnoticeable, but does happen. Try like the previous poster said and remove and reattach the country adapter to the plug.
I will try this, but even plugged into computer it won't go over 15% ... and even discharge when plugged ...

If you mean here you were trying to charge with the computer. It makes sense. as the usb port on a computer has very limited current capability and will charge with TF off but takes 24 hrs.
This happened to me as well. Took apart the charger, blew on it a couple times and dusted it off, then reattached the 2 pieces. It's now charging again!
Hello guys, i want to ask you some questions about the note 3 battery. So..:
1. When on 13%, i plugged it on the wall using the stock charger. Exactly one hour later, it went up to 75%, like 1% per minute. After another 20 minutes, it went to 91%, slightly slower. 20 minutes later it was at 98%, and it needed another 20 - 25 minutes to charge completely from 98%. Is it normal? In total, it needed 2 hours and 10 minutes to charge completely from 13% and i guess it would need another extra 10 minutes to charge from 1% to 100%. These numbers are normal for the note 3?
2. I noticed that from 100% until 90%, the battery discharges faster than from 90% and down. Is this normal too? With moderate and maybe light use, and i mean some gaming, a little messaging and calling and browsing, from 100% i managed to come to the 13% mark in 2 days and 3 hours, and i thing is a pretty good number.
3. As i said, i have the stock charge that is 2 parts, the one that fits the wall and the other the usb cord. Some days ago, i left it overnight charging from 15%, and 6-7 hours later it was at 70%. I have one battery app installed and it said that it recognized the charger as a USB charger and not as an AC charger. I pushed the usb cord to fit better in the other part and then it recognized it as an AC charger. First, as it recognized it as a usb charger, is normal to need so many hours to charge it this way? I havent use it directly to a pc via usb to see how much time it needs to charge thiw say. And second, why the phone recognized the charger as usb and not ac? Its because that the cord didnt fit quite well in the first place or is it because of some sort of malfunction?
Thanks in advance guys!
EDIT: Sorry guys, I didnt notice the "no questions in the general forum!
2 things.
1) battery percentage is an estimate. For the health of the battery, they tell you it's 100% at anywhere between 85-100% actual charge.
2) charging speed is largely dependent on voltage differential. a battery at 3 volts can receive charge faster than a battery at 4.2 volts.

1 and 2 are normal. 3 is nothing to worry about.. When you have charging issues or something, just reboot ur phone...
Hi everyone,
I have been using Ticwatch E since April 2019. So far, no much complaint after disabling all unnecessary system app; except the battery life. I need to charge twice a day, to ensure the watch last when I can't go home early. I have only the original cable, and hate to bring it everywhere.
After about a year, suddenly the watch sometimes doesn't charge at all. I clean the pin at the watch, because it seems dirty and broken. Wriggling the cable and reposition, it can charge properly again. But not long after that, sometimes it charged normally, sometimes very slowly. Until approx 2 months ago, it started to become slow charge all the time. I measured the incoming current, maximum is 70 mA only (when I buy it, it can reach 300 mA). It charges very slow, about 20% per hour. It took 5 hours to charge from almost empty to full. Cleaning the pin doesn't help anymore. I have to live with it then. I don't wear the watch to sleep then, although it is my second alarm. I leave it charged overnight to ensure it is always full at the morning. (I can't wait it to charge 5 hours during day, render it useless).
I googled and found some thread at reddit suggesting to clean the pin. But I already did it. Some say buying new cable can help, but I am a bit skeptic, since I can't see any visible damage on the cable and connector, although the pin at the watch is messy already. I reconsider to go back to the proprietary non WearOS watch, since my previous mi band 2 can last for 2-3 weeks before charging. But somehow I just deal with it and use it like that.
This early September, the cable totally broken. Charging never increase the battery level anymore. Incoming current only 20-30 mA. No matter how long I leave it there, the battery level can't increase anymore. I finally try to pry open the charging connector, but don't have any success. New original cable in the online store here cost about 200.000 IDR (approx USD 13). I think that's too expensive for charging cable.
I managed to find a cheaper, but from China. It cost only 65.000 IDR (approx USD 4,3). Looking at the good review, I decided to take the risk and buy 2 directly, still cheaper than online store here. And today it arrived, 1 week faster than my expectation.

The cable is not noodle type just like the original one, it is normal round cable. I try both, and now it can charge properly already, 300 mA, despite the same messy pin at the watch. So the broken part is the cable connector, not the watch pin.
I estimate rough charging speed, it is about 16% / 10 minutes, about 1,6%/minute. It takes about 1 hour 10 minutes to charge almost zero to full. (my watch battery must be degrading by now, so it should charge a bit faster). I am happy again with my Ticwatch E. Hopefully it will last until the next generation of WearOS watch with better battery life.
I will try not to charge as frequently as before, to prolong the connector lifespan. I bring one to office, so I don't have to charge so frequently at home.
TLDR : If your Ticwatch E is charging slowly, takes hours to charge full, then most likely it is your cable connector. Buying new cable will most likely make it charge normally again.
Hi ppl, Im starting to face battery charging problems ( battery 1 time changed min 1,5 year ago with aliexpress replacemant) tryed to clean the port several times also. When I plug the cable with orginal charger I can see red light (sometimes I need to up the cable plug to work) when it start to charge it going %10-15 then loose and again %0, then again %4-5 and always stay like that. After several try with pain I can charge the phone but it also discharge quick. Im not sure if its broken type-c port or malfuctioned battery Any clue ?
