[Q] HELP! My DX won't turn on

My DX is not turning on. The battery died and so the phone cut off and when I plug the charger in nothing happens and it won't turn on when the charger is plugged in. I have tried everything I can think of - pulled the battery and put it back in, held the power button down, held the power button and home row keys down, held the power button and camera keys, and I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help?

Take out the battery and hook it up to the wall charger. You should see a battery with a question mark. Then insert the battery and see if it recognizes the battery.

I just took the battery out and left it out for like 15 min and then put in back in and it worked. Thanks for your reply however, I really appreciate it!

phones won't start with a dead battery.. don't forget to charge -_-

just something for anyone else who has this issue in the future when my DX dies its a ***** to re-start i usually have to hold the power key down for 10-20 secs then it will start or show the battery logo

Phone not turning on and led flashing rapidly

I just flashed MOAR rom on my phone a few days ago and everything was working perfectly then while at work I pulled my phone out of my pocket and noticed my case had slipped off and was holding the power button down. After fixing the case I tried to unlock my phone and nothing came up on my screen. I held down the power button and the only thing that happened was my LED indicator is flashing green rapidly and at different brightness. Then I pulled the battery and left it out of my phone for 2 hours and still the only thing that is happening is the LED. When I plug it into my computer without me hitting the button the LED is flashing. It wont boot into recovery and I don't want to send it in and them find a custom rom on it so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am assuming it won't go into download mode either? Try holding the power button in for at least 30-40 seconds.

No, I've tried holding just the power button for a minute or trying to go into either download or recovery mode and got nothing.

Try the same thing with the charger plugged in.
"Try holding down the power button for 1 minute with the charger connected. If this doesn't present the screen, try holding the power button AND both volume buttons at the same time. This should bring up a menu. There should be an option for reboot or force reboot"

Thanks for trying to help, I've tried holding both volume and power button for a minute and nothing. After having it plugged in for a few minutes my battery started to get warm.

Just something I found while looking for answers. At least your battery is getting warm. That is better than the alternative.

Are you using the original data cable? Try a different USB port maybe?

How to turn on wileyfox storm after battery fully drained.

Hello to all experts.
1- Accidently my wileyfox storm battery was fully drained at night and i was not at home during that time.
I connected mobile to wall outlet it was showing red colour on home button when connected (as a battery charging indication) but after near about 8 hours i tried to turn it on but no luck. I pressed power button for many seconds, many times but no luck.
Now what should I do to turn on my wileyfox storm.
2- My second question is how to open back cover of my wileyfox storm. i did not find any notch or point to open back cover to see inside.
Thanks in advance.

Plug your phone on charge but not in usb, and wait about 20mn

I am having this problem as well right now, how did you fix it?

I too have the same problem , it was off because drain , but then put in office is no longer lights . the light is always red . what can I do?

Leave it charging for a while from the mains. Red light means charging on low charge, the screen doesn't turn on until it has some charge.

it is normal to be in power for eight hours, and nothing has changed ? Red light always on and off screen

I am no expert, but I've had the same problem after fully running the phone battery down. While looking for an answer I managed resolve the issue by to hold the power down and down array while the phone in chagrining for around 2 minutes and the phone started up, almost by complete accident.

I had the same issue you are having, battery ran down to empty, charge light would always be red no matter how long it was plugged in, slow charge, fast charge, holding down the power button, even with the inclusion of the vol down, nothing worked.
I fixed it by opening up the phone and disconnecting then reconnecting the the battery. After doing so the phone started to properly charge (phone booted up and displayed the battery animation). Everything now operates as normal, though I won't be letting it drain to 0% again, that's for sure.
If you're able to, give it a shot and hopefully it will do the trick for you as well (though I'm probably way to late).

Hello to all
I again have the same problem, the battery of my storm has fully discharged, but although is it charging for many hours the LED light is always red and the phone will not turn on. This time even while holding together power button and volume less nothing is happening.
Can anyone help me and tell me how I can fix ?
Level1imp how did you open the phone to disconnect the battery ?

After I read your message here, I've tried and finally I solved this problem in my phone.
I was getting crazy because there isn't place to fix this phone in my country and the company Wileyfox wanted me to send my phone to someone in europe to them send to Wilefox to fix it. I've spoke with the company today to see what could they do for me and the solution they gave to me was this and to I try to open the back by myself. But this last solution it isn't a solution because would make me loose the garantee. Why the technician didn't told me about this solution? I'm so disappointed with them.

hi i have a wileyfox storm it is not going on when i press power button .now i connect with wall charger so it show a red circle on the bottom and phone show logo on and of .how can i put it on

This works!!
For anyone who needs it, this also works on wileyfox swift 2

Had this too, but solved
Just had this problem occur on my Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus. Completely drained, left on charge for 4h but it got 0% charged in that time.
For me, hooking it up to a slightly stronger power source (5V 2.1A) USB port of my power bank,
in combination with Power + Volume UP
Got me to a boot screen I'd never seen before.
Hit Fast Boot, it looked like it just turned off again but a few seconds later I saw the normal boot screen pop up

Phone won't turn on, no charging indicator

Hey All,
I have bought a used leeco pro 3 off swappa. Unfortunately I didn't get the phone until much later after delivery (had to have someone bring it to me). In photos the phone works fine, but when I got it it won't turn on and there's no indicator that it's charging at all. When I do plug it in, the phone does get warm though.
Any thoughts what the problem could be?

Have you tried another USB-C cable? Apparently the stock OEM one sucks.

I have another leeco and I tried that charger still nothing. I've been reading and wondering if the battery drained. I'm going to leave it plugged in for awhile to see if anything changes. I plugged it directly into my laptop and it made that noise that it recognized something was plugged in but it didn't turn on or anything like that.

You should to try this, hold the power button more than 1 min, or hold Volume down+power until display show up then hold the power again util it reboot.

Press power button 2 minutes or longer, sometime the phone will come alive I did it couple of times before.
If not work try this tread:

Plug in charger know hold down power and volume push it down a hold for 15 seconds you may need to repeat this.

I'll keep trying but doesn't want to turn on. Interestingly though, when it's plugged into my laptop at least I can hear the phone being disconnected via USB when I hold the power button down. It just doesn't seem to boot up.

When you plug it does it show it charging.
You must push power and volume button at the same time.
Never buy from them.

Try use different cable connect phone to computer. For the phone show as Qualcoom HS loader on pc, I just can remember did not format it or anything like that and the phone was fine working again.

I'm having a similar problem, I bought a new leeco pro 3 charger today, original, plugged it in charged until led was green. An hour later noticed fingerprint scanner not working, so i discovered the phone is off, now I can't turn on. I had AICP ROM, the latest one from 21 january.

It actually happened just now. I charged from 38% to 95% I disconnected non-QC charger and went into AccuBattery app looked at the stats and the phone just shut down... Now I can't turn it on. Nothing happens.
I was on the latest AICP ROM
EDIT: I hold down the power button and connected the phone to PC, it turned on to LEECO screen and now red LED is blinking.

Hello, I have very similar problem. My Leeco le pro 3 don't charge I try diffrend cables and chargers but when plug-in only orange diode start to blink. Do you have any other ideas what to try?

same problem here. LeEco shut down because of low battery. After plugging the charger in it, the LED only blinks red. Then it vibrates, turns off and starting into the charging mode without charging. Starting TWRP or dotOS is not possible because it shuts down.

LG G6 not turning on after full charge !

So i turned my phone off and let it charge until 100 percent. When i took off the charger, i tried to power it on. It vibrated and didnt turn on ever since. I read something about overcharging the battery or something but i'm not sure. I tried using the power button and volume down combination but won't power on att all. Any help?

Hold volume up key and connect phone to pc, should enter download mode. Then reset it by holding all buttons.

Could my battery have gone bad? I doubt it because it was working perfectly before. After i let it sit a full night out of the charger and tried to turn it on, it vibrated and the screen lit a slightly bit but shut off right after. Any ideas?
