Problem indeed.... Firstly, I wish I could offer some constructive solutions, but afraid not.... it does sound like a worn battery, and maybe worth trying (or borrowing) another one to flash?
I take it as you refer to it as an 'Exec' that it is the O2 branded one? If it is, from my experience with the O2 technical support, they really don't have a clue. I would assume that they would send an exec straight to HTC for testing. It's a complete last resort, but if you were to tell them that your unit was dead and they were to take it in, they wouldn't be able to solve the problem before they sent it back to HTC. This is of course after you have clarified it's not just a dead battery cell.
Best of luck with the thread and hoping someone a bit more experienced can help.

So, let me get this straight, your universal does not turn on (and by turn on I mean that you see the familiar wm5 screen with your apps, etc.), no matter what have you done, and the only way to have the charging led on is by connecting it to USB port with the battery removed?
If this is the case, you might have a dead internal battery charging/power supply circuit, i have repaired some old Ipaqs with this failure, most of them failed due to a defective battery, easily recognized by overheating when the unit was placed in charge, usually the overheating increased slowly in time (months usually).
I don't want to be misunderstood, but all these devices have a way of turning of the LCD backlight, a long pressure on the on button does this, it can restores with the same long pressure, see if this is not your case.
If you have some electrical problem with your PDA you might take it to repair or you could try to do it yourself -if you're able to do it obviously-.
Anyway, try to get yourself another battery (you might ask for it to someone else with a uni), put it on and see.
I'm also assuming that you have tried to hard reset your device.
good luck

Look maybe this will give you some hope. Yesterday I took my Htc Typhon (smartphone) after a long time, the battery was die. I tried to charge via usb, and nothings happened, then I tried to use a usb charger and nothing happened neither. Finally I charged the battery alone on an universal battery charger and after 30 minutes my phone was alive again.
Hope it will help you!

hi thanks for the reply i have had the same on a m600 ,would not charge from usb or car kit but did start with mains charger
i have tryed hard reset but it will not do that either
battery is stuck at 3.7v even after trying to discharge it with a small bulb
thanks
John...

This is something I've had happen in the past.
Try taking the battery out, and put it into a ziplock back, and place it in the freezer for a few hours. I know, I know, it sounds ridiculous. But sometimes, just sometimes, it will reactivate the cells, and you'll be able to charge it after that.

well done o2 uk
well as said before took my phone back to the O2 shop and sent it off to the service centre. The report came back that the main board US .not only did i get a new exec but But a new boxed one and a full set of all original parts !!

i had this problem when i first got my SPV m5000..i took it to the orange shop...(the people where nice) they kept it for few testing and said...
battary was faulty...so they gave me a new battery XD

X10a wont turn on !

MY phone died the other night and wouldn't charge. It blinks red when plugged in and will blink numerous times when you press power. Sometime when its plugged in and i press power it will only blink red once.
Its rooted with 024. Im screwed eh?
Also im with Rogers in Canada

I vaguely remember having this sort of problem before.
What was happening was the cable wasn't working properly for some reason, and my phone wasn't drawing enough power to charge. Therefore it not working, and the red flashing light. It wasn't actually charging.
Is it plugged in to charge via AC or USB? It might not be drawing enough power if it is charging through USB.
If it is charging though AC, have you left it to charge overnight? If a Li-ion battery enters a state of deep discharge, it may take a while for it to charge enough for the phone to be able to power on. This shouldn't be the case though, the battery should have failsafes to prevent this from happening.
If neither of these things do anything, I'd try either swapping the wall adaptor and/or the usb cable or the phone battery itself, and if those things work, you're out of luck.
Hope that helps.

Have tried two wall chargers different outlet and my two pcs. left it overnight twice. Im screwed lol

Tell Rogers that one of their Sales Reps burnt the phone while trying to show you how to charge it

Im going to take it back to walmart it is only 3 week old

I had the same issue with mine... it completely died out and would not start charging. Found it weird the phone couldn't be charged while being powered off (my old KRZR could do it)....
Anyway, I called up Rogers and told them the situation and they exchanged it with a new one. I don't let the phone go below 5% now in fear of it not being able to charge if it the battery is completely drained XD

was your phone rooted?

No... it was on the original firmware and all...
For some reason I forgot you rooted it when you replied. Rogers might not want to exchange it... Wal-Mart on the other hand will probably not even look at it and just exchange it.
Other option could be to buy a new battery?

it actually looks as if the usb port itself is chipped.

ok, i had the same problem with my old SE phones.
everytime i tried to charge it, it did not charge. other phones were charging thru same cable.
the problem in the OS.
what i did is upgraded thru SEUS.
try to plug it to PC thru USB cable without battery. then go thru procedure as u would go for upgrade and then put the battery back.
it might not work if your battery complitely dead, thought worth a try

Yea, cant connect to seus

your batter yshould be fine. it's just dead.
dont buy any battery just yet. i would replace the phone if i were u. without spending extra bucks.
this is the quickets solution i can think of.
however, for the future reference i will buy me extra battery just in case
good luck

Just had it turn on and it said less than 2% remaining connect to charger. It was connected. This happened before and it just shuts off.

yeah mine would open from time to time but instantly shut down also. Seems like it didn't have enough time to detect it was plugged in...
try returning it

This may sound weird but it worked for me. Try taking out the memory card and leave it out and plugging it in.

Yea. I tried every combination. Brought it to walmart qndvthey gave me a new one. 30 day replacment woo. Im nervous to root now

same problem... no solution ?

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I found this topic is describing the same problem I have. I bought an x10 mini pro (U20a) unlocked and it doesnt turn on with my service provider SIM, but if I try another service provider SIM card or without SIM card, it turns on normally. It's the same behavior, cause it wont charge either. Other users are reporting the same problem in SE support forums and it is related to X10, X10 mini and X10 mini pro. It seems to be related to software since a factory reset or a repair using PC Companion solves the problem partially, but for some users the problem starts again when their batteries dries out and want to charge their phones. In case anyone find a solution that really works, please post it here.

I'm disappointed because I have the exact same problem, but I'm outside of AT&T's 30-day return period (and they're being typical idiots about the issue). They have no replacement batteries (of course) so I've had to request one directly from SonyEricsson, which will take 5 business days to deliver. (!) Hopefully, this will resolve the issue; however, before you returned your phone to Walmart, I noticed that you thought you had a problem with a chipped mini-USB port. Do you know if that was part of the problem?

CHARGING ISSUE - shouldi be worried?

I bought a second hand HD2, however it arrived with a third-party chinese battery. I contacted the seller who apologised and said that battery was a replacement because the original didn't hold a good charge, and he would send the original through the post. The battery however was fully charged so I flashed all the neccessary files and installed NAND Android (my reason for buying it in the first place), however today - the same day it arrived - I noticed that the orange charge light was going off, usually when the phone screen went off. This necessitated plugging the USB lead back in again, and within sometimes less than a minute the same problem would occur. I have checked the battery prongs, reset the the phone, changed USB settings etc and the problem persists.
Just wondered of I should be worried...I am unable to find an identical problem to this on the forums so I'm assuming it's not a ROM issue. I am currently using the Desire port from DFT.
Would a cheap Chinese battery demonstrate this sort of problem?
The seller says he never had an issue of charging the phone.
My next resort is to flash Windows Mobile back on, but I'm at work and a bit anxious so was hoping for someone with some experience to reassure me!
All USB syncing etc works fine...it is literally just charging that's the issue.

Maybe it's your USB that's faulty. I had a faulty usb that would go on and off sometimes too. However I don't see why the battery would affect the LED light, as the battery has to be connected to the phone for it to stay on, and so the battery can't be losing it's connection with the phone randomly, so it's either your usb cord, or the port.
Word of advice, don't let your phone lose power cuz of the faulty charging. I assume you know that MAGLDR doesn't let you charge the phone while off, so a dead battery in our case, is a dead phone. Happened to me once cuz of my usb, luckily there was still a small amount of charge left after i took the battery out and placed it back in.

It's definitely not the cable as I've used an official HTC charger with it which does exactly the same thing. I've also tried with a Samsung MicroUSB charger from my Galaxy S

Maybe it's the usb port then... That's the worst case scenario because you'd have to get the whole motherboard replaced...
However if in winmo you don't experience the problems, then it was just some software problems, so try a different radio and build, and see if they work.
Edit:
Or maybe it's the LED that's faulty. (never heard of such a situation but anything is possible) >.>
Does it still charge even if the LED is not orange/on?

Thing is though I can pretty much get it to stay charging if I don't let it lock and the screen go off? Could this still be a problem with the USB port? I'm getting worried now as I don't like the hassle of sending things back through eBay. I'm wondering if the seller bought a spare battery thinking it was just a battery problem and isn't telling the whole story. Foolishly I didn't test the device with Windows Mobile, I just went straight into flashing as I had put Android on my friend's HD2 the other day in exactly the same way...his is even an ex Virgin Mobile phone like this one. Needless to say, he is having no charging issues.

Dude dont worry , the problem is the battery ! i got two chinese battery ones and both cant charge with the phone, i have to use eksternal charger Dont worry the red and orange led flashes constantly when i try to charge it
Just buy a cheap charger from ebay , and buy a oem htc hd2 battery

Hi thanks for your reply. Mine doesn't flash red and orange though: the orange light comes on as normal and the phone reports it as charging, but after a while (seems to be when the phone goes to standby most of the time) the orange light turns off and the charging symbol disappears. If I unplug and replug again the light comes back on for a period. I've not tested thoroughly but I THINK it will stay charging when I leave the phone out of standby with the screen set to stay on for 30 minutes. I really HOPE it's a battery issue but it sounds slightly different to yours as mine does at least charge to a degree. I'm worried there's a blown capacitor somewhere on the logic board that's making the phone charge malfunction but obviously there's no way of testing until I get a new battery.
It concerns me that the seller said he had no charging problems...he must have been able to charge it somehow as the battery was full when it arrived...could I have burnt something out when flashing?!

Mine do charge to about 50 % and then it stops
Im 100 % sure its the battery becouse the battery has a circuitboard inside of it, and thats often messed up considering its made cheap in china . But test it with your friends hd2 original battery You can 2 see if the wet indicatior has been activated
the " white " paper next to the battery poles should be white and not pink, alltso where the skrewholes of the phone that should allso be white just to make sure your phone is not waterdamaget

I don't think flashing could have burnt something out. Overclocking and generating a lot of heat can burn something out though.
Didn't you receive the stock battery? Why not try it with that, and if the problem stilll persists then it might not be the battery. Either way, it will help you to test out the phone with a stock battery.

I tried it again after a few hours and it charged for a fair while before the light went off again.
I don't have the original battery as the seller has yet to mail it to me.
Does anyone else think it's worth me trying out a stock Windows Mobile ROM to see if it works? Might be that Android ROMs are less forgiving of cheap batteries with dodgy circuitry..

UPDATE
Ok so I've flashed Windows Mobile onto the device and wiped Magldr. The phone now alternates between a green and an amber light on the charging indicator. Looks like Windows Mobile won't charge it at all!
Does anyone know what this means?
I've checked for water damage in the areas mentioned and there is no sign.

Well your best bet is to send it in for repairs. But I'd suggest you test the phone out first with a stock battery.

Well I Only bought the phone yesterday so I certainly won't be paying for any repairs.
Got a replacement battery today - a genuine HTC one.
Plugged in, switched on....flashing between amber and green
I have a nagging suspicion this is going to be an eBay refund nightmare.

have you checked that the pins on the phone is not bendt? pins where battery poles connect to phone

problem solved? fingers crossed
OK so as a last resort I flashed radio 2.15 to the device. Seems that this has completely fixed the problem as without even restoring the phone is now charging properly. It seems that a corrupted radio flash had affected the charge somehow....at least I hope so.
The same problem has not come back again today at all.
Might be worth throwing this solution in a problems and solutions section as I haven't found any reference to it on the net and it might fix things for others panicking over their handsets.

That's nice.
Good for you, since it's a hassle to deal with sending back the device and shizz like that.

was just searching is anyone had a similar problem like me. to the OP yours sounds like my problem.
Had these fake OEM batteries for a while now. Until recently they have been charging ang turning off in 1 1/2 minutes. put a genuine OEM battery in and the problem is gone.
My solution was OEM can charge thru phone but fakes cant, use fakes as backup and charge it thru a desktop charger. goodluck

[Q] LG G2 not charging at all!

Hi all,
I just bought an LG G2 (D802 international unlocked version) and the behavior when plugging in the charger cable is very strange:
When I plug in any charger (tried 4 different ones with different cables incl. stock), the phone is not charging.
BUT, there are a few strange things happening:
1. On the lock screen it shows "Charging"
2. In the settings menu under the battery menu it shows "not charging" (this is different from being unplugged, then it shows something like "discharging")
3. Sometimes the popup comes up when I plug it in, but not always.
3. When I turn the phone off and plug the cable in, the display lights up (also the LED) and it shows the "charging" battery symbol.
IN ANY CASE, THE PHONE BATTERY IS NOT CHARGING!
Here is what I tried so far:
- Used 4 different chargers & cables
- Tried to charge via USB
- Did a factory reset
Nothing helped so far.
I suppose that its a hardware failure, but maybe someone has a different suggestion/solution?

Only thing i can recommend is maybe do a factory reset to see if that corrects it which i doubt it will. Other then that i would have the phone warrantied then.
If its a software issue then that is at the kernel level. I would assume its a hardware issue though

I got a replacement unit, it was a hardware issue.

The same problem i am facing with my G2 Sprint LS980 and i am pretty sure this is not hardware problem because my phone had signal issues and LG charged repair fee around US$ 55. My phone was not rooted before repair and also my phone was charging fast too. It has installed ZVD7 ROM. But once i get my phone it was completely changed. They rooted my phone, They converted my ROM from ZVD7 to Cloud G3 2.2 and they also installed TWRP recovery. But still phone is not charging same like as you posted. I just noticed another thing phone is perfectly charging in TWRP recovery mode. Therefore i am 99% sure it's not hardware issue. 2nd issue is that phone is also not detect with my PC. I tried different drivers but failed. Anybody can help me or suggest me any suitable ROM and provide me correct driver or PC suite?

having same issue , have u solved??

Not yet Dear...It is the piece of junk for me. Now my ROM has been deleted. I want it back

I have the same problem. The phone is acting very inconsistent with charging after I replaced my broken display. This is the second time I replace the display, and it didn't cause any issues the first time. Basically, my phone won't charge more than maybe 2% over a period of 12-16 hours. The phone does not discharge as others have mentioned in previous posts.
No one seems to have a solution to this problem. Some people online are arguing that is it a "security measure" LG have installed into the phone, which makes it impossible to properly charge the phone without an official LG charger/cable. However, I never used the official charger, but been using various chargers and cables without problems!
But now comes the really weird part. I decided to take off the backcover, and then plug in the charger to see if pushing down on different parts would somehow fix it (loose connections etc..). But before I got around to test such hackery, I plugged in the USB and the phone suddenly started charging! I proceeded reproduce the problem/solution, and the result was very confusing: no real charging with backcover on; perfect charging with the backcover off.
Would anyone here on XDA have any ideas as to why this is happening? I've been thinking that the connectors on the backside on the cover might have something to do with it. Not having the backcover on does not seem to affect the phone at all (i can use it like I would without the cover).
TLR: My phone won't charge with the backcover on, magically works when the backcover is off. I suspect that it might have something to do with the connectors on the back of the cover.

Maybe putting the back cover on the phone is causing a grounding problem or shorting a circuit. Maybe put some insulating material on the inside of the back cover and then put on the phone?

Yes, I thought about doing this, trying one connectors at a time. Do you think that the sticky part of a post-it note like do? I don't have electrical tape lying around atm :/

Anything that is non-conductive should be fine since it is just a test.
You could also use a non-sticky piece of paper between the cover and the phone's components.

So you solved the problem?

I have very same problem decon89 described - I replaced screen and cannot charge it properly. And even worse: charging is possible with the phone being switched off completely. And after phone is charged - I cannot turn on the phone unless i open back cover and unplug-plug battery cable. Phone MAY turn on without unplugging-plugging battery, but it is blind luck. Yesterday i accidently turned off my 100% charged lg g2 and could not turn it back on during whole day. If someone has a solution please share it.

Hi everyone,
I'm so sorry for not following up on this thread. I haven't fix the problem yet, but it worked for same time, then started acting up again.
I've put a few strips of electrical tape on the bottom part of the phone, behind the black plastic thing. I did this because of an issue with my display having a loose connection. This fixed the screen problem, but the charging fault came back.
The idea of putting a piece of paper between the battery and cover did not work at the time, but I'll try it again tonight.
As I'm writing this, the phone is charging with the cover half off. It works, charges, no problem. I can even use the phone even though the bottom part of the cover is off.

Xiaomi Mi 9t completely dead(?)

Last night I've put my Mi 9t to charge and went to sleep. When I woke up, the phone was turned off.
I've tried to restart it and also pressed the volume + power button combinations to force the recovery mode - unsuccessfully.
No blinking lights, no MIUI entry, no vibration, zero response from the phone. (Is it bricked?)
I've started to research and since my computer can't find the Mi 9t (running Windows 10) the only solution seems that to disassemble it and do the EDL Mode Test Point, to acess the recovery mode and try to flash the phone.
Do you have other sugestions to try?

This is weird. Maybe it's not charged? Did you try another charger and/or cable? How can the phone get bricked overnight by doing nothing? Never heard of it.

I've tried today during all day with a different charger, no response.
It's the first time a thing like this happened to me as well. I've never flashed it before or did any major modifications. I was running MIUI 11 still.
If the battery runned out how can I revive it?
On another forum a user told me it could be the integrated circuit broken or a battery problem.

Then I really don't know. Like I've said, never encountered this before. You could try going to a repair service.

you could open backcover and charge battery directly to see if thats usb problem

You can make an EDL cable. is very easy to do and you have a lot of videos and pictures about it.
Dont worry if you have to open the phone is really really easy. With a hot air gun or a hair dryer you can do it in 2 minutes. You are going to need also a piece of radiography to separate the cover
Then the test point is really easy to do it, check some pictures in google, also you can check the usb port if it is damaged or not once the phone is opened, but of course if the phone stoped working from day to night is weird a usb faulty port

Pls don't open anything or try an trick. Just take it to a repair service so u don't make things worse

I've tried the test point and didn't work, as well
So I took it to a repair shop that accepts xiaomi. They are going to order a new battery and a battery connector (2-3 Weeks).
I'll post when I'll get more updates.

I had a lg g3 that did the same thing. Charged it over night and it didn't work the next morning, could be power surge. Ever since then I never charge my phone over night

So, I've picked it from the repair shop and they couldn't fix it. They changed the battery, the battery connector and the display. They said they don't have a solution for the phone.
My next step is to contact gearbest to see if they have a solution for me.
