Hello i have problems in screen after charging. I noticed after charging, the sides of the screen had yellowish green tinge. After hours, it disappears and when i charge the phone again it reappears. Someone help me. Or does somebody experienced this issue?
P.S. no issues on screen responsiveness. Just the yellowish green tinge after charging.
Thank you for help.

Does it go away immediately if you reboot?
It does not. I also noticed when the background is black or green, the green tinge disappears. But when other colors are in the background, it appears. Do u think lcd has the problem?

As of now, it disappeared again. But after i charge my phone later, im sure green tinge will be back again. Its been bothering me.
Can you take a photo of it and post here ?
I had an idea what could possible be the problem but i am not 100% sure.

Hello. As of now the green tinge is gone. I tried to take a photo but the green tinge is not noticeable. Can you tell me your idea? Thank you in advance.
Is it temperature-related?
Sounds to me like the glue holding the screen layers is loose, allowing the layers to become separated when the heat from charging expands one layer more than the other.
Do you fast charge? Try charging with a slow charger (it creates less heat) and if then the problem goes away, or is much less noticeable, I would try to RMA the device.

No sir. It did not heat much when charging. I tried lg charger they provided in the box and the green tinge appeared. But when i tried samsung fast charger green tinge DOES not appear. Their charging time was same (1hr 20mins). I just assume that the charger had the problem tho.

Well, this is strange since if both chargers fast charge, they should raise the temperature at the same level. And I can't think of any other reason other than temperature why you would see the yellow tinge.
Just to explain myself, I don't think the phone is overheating more than it should, I thought the screen was faulty.
Can't help why more than this, I'm glad you found a "fix".

Its strange for me too since they are both fast charge. And i used ampere app, they both max 2400mAh when charging (both samsung and lg) and fill the juice up for same time. Thanks for the help man. Im going to try other fast charger if they produce that annoying green tinge. But as of now, im using the samsung charger. So far, it does not produce any green tinge.

sometimes when I charge my phone I get a flashing amber light even when the unit is switched off. Does anyone know what this indicates? I thought constant green indicates charged, is the amber light used to indicate a temp problem as my battery seems to get very warm during charging?

Getting warm during charging is normal.
Not sure what flashing amber indicates , though seems to be an indication of text receipt/missed call (whether on charge or not)
Amber=Charging Green=Charged Red=Charge Failure

Means NOTIFICATION
It occurs even when the phone is fully switched off. It does seem to relate to the temperature during charging, I would guess that it indicates that charging is paused due to the battery temp.
I used to have this when I first got my Vario II. It was definitely temperature related and had nothing to do with notifications as there were none.
The only way to get around it was to take it off charge and take the battery cover off to let the heat escape for it to cool down. Then it would start charging again normally.

I agree, it means message/email/calendar/alarm/task during charging and could mean also overheat
So it means NOTIFICATION (or pay ATTENTION please) , it has a big CPU still isn't capable to explain exactly what type of attention is needed
How hot is normal running temp for the battery?
I see mine runs at around 46 celcius most of the time.
What is too hot?
My TMOUS HD2 won't charge when plugged in to any source. I've tried multiple cables and have tried plugging it into the computer as well as into the wall and with the car charger. Nothing as far as a charge, but the light flashes on the LED and when plugged into the computer, it is recognized and can sync.
Also, the "do not charge the battery when connected to a PC" is NOT selected.
Is there a registry setting or something that may have been changed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I just pulled out the battery and restarted the phone and it charged, but when I unplug it and then plug it back in, it won't charge again. I tried pulling the battery out again and it didn't work.
I'm truly baffled.
Hope you guys are not using an aftermarket battery. If you are,then most likely that is the culprit.
sounds defective to me, maybe a bad battery, or a dodgy circuit in the charge control circuits.speak to your vendor, try another battery.
(id try hard reset first, though)
Mine did this last night. Wouldn't charge of the wall charger or PC. What I did was take the battery out, hold the power button down for 20 seconds, put battery back in, plugged it onto the wall charger and it started to work again.

Well crap. When I get home I'll throw in a stock battery and see if that changes things.
go to
settings->system->power->battery and uncheck "when phone is on, do not charge battery, when connected to a PC"
it should help

As said in the first post, that was off.
Anyways, was using Kumar 1.6 and flashed Elegancia 2.5 and it's fixed.
try different ROM and RADIO it may help
for those having this issue you might want to check out the contact points on the phone for the battery.
I had this issue and it would out of no where not charge but it would say the battery is 100% right away and the LED light would blink orange and green. But when you unplugged it it would go right back to the actual charge amount that was on it before.
I noticed when I put in the battery that the middle contact was poking out between the battery and the phone and then i pushed it in and it started charging.

my wife's phone had the same problem with the middle contact. Poor design on htc's part. A hole through the back cover to get to the reset button would be really nice.

Amazing how so many of us can have the same problem, that's TRUE design fault right there. You described my problem exactly, Battery Displaying as 100% when charging, LED flashed Orange and Green and would discharge instead of charging. It was indeed my middle contact, thanks a ton.
I had the same issue, and SOLUTION here worked, but another issue I have is that phone is taking close to 4 hours to completely charge. Anyone out there had the same issue?

Did you used the official charger? Some micro USB wire are rated higher than others as far as power vottage goes...I think...cuz this happens to me too...

Yeah I am using the same charger, earlier it would charge in 1-1.5 hour now almost 4 hours.
Anyone else experience this? Look at the battery meter widget in the upper right corner. It will go from green (not charging) to blue (charging).
When this happens if I unplug the orb and plug that same cable into the phone it charges normally. This is my second orb that has done this.
Nobody?
Sorry, not a single issue with my charging orb.

No issues here either. When looking at your batt icon in the status bar, does that change as well? Or does it continually say charging?

The stock battery icon changes too. It's just easier to spot the widget.
Your phone looks a bit low in the vid. Does the problem happen if you raise the phone up a bit on the orb? And is your N4 have a case or screen protector on the back? Unsure if there is a slippage problem or not.
I do not have the slipping problem and it happens even if I reposition the phone.

no problem with my orb, and it charges through wood:

Nice! I actually envisioned doing that exact thing!
Right now my phone is sitting there at 87%, says it's charging, yet the battery is going down. It is also very hot to the touch. This is my second orb though. I wonder if the problem is with the phone.
Mine sometimes does this, I will hear it toggling off and on and such. Seems to not work with the bumper on it. Makes it not fully contact.
Mine also does this where it will connect and disconnect in a loop constantly repeating. I think it had to do with how i was placing the phone as it doesnt happen anymore.

It's probably still happening and you don't realize it. On mine the positioning of the phone does not change anything.

Maybe the problem is your phone, not the orb. My orb works like magic, the phone does not heat up and it charges just as fast as when plugged with the cable. Also, I use a quite thick TPU case, without any issue.
Mine has done that before (toggle on and off), but it seems to be okay lately. Only issue is that it gets pretty warm and seems to charge ridiculously slow.

I am having this identical problem. I got both the Nexus 4 and the Orb replaced, and my new ones are doing the same exact thing. Usually turning off the phone and turning it back on fixes it for some reason, temporarily though.
Mine does the same thing. Almost every morning I wake up and it's at 90% or below. No slippage at all. A few times it has been almost dead. Sometimes it charges completely but rarely. Restarts don't really do anything either.

Apparently not a small issue. Happened to me as well, multiple times, on 2 separate orbs. Waiting for the refund on the first before I send back the second. Wondering at what point they say enough is enough and give me my money back. Battery Monitor Widget screenshots attached. From 5% to 95%, it was in the same place on the charger. No slippage. It is in a case, but it should still be consistent, I would think. The day before, the second screenshot, was abysmal. 30% in 8 hours. It boggles the mind.

With the red light of dead the phone isn't booting at all, so no. Are you running Semaphore kernel? With semaphore kernel the led turns red when phone gets hot, and it can be disabled using semaphore manager app.

Or perhaps you have a LED notification system and you have a missed call or the like
All I needed to do was switch the kernel, I also have another question to ask and I'll ask it here so I don't have to make another thread.

The more you use the battery, be it discharging or charging, the hotter it's going to get, some kernels actually have a shutdown mechanism if it gets to something like 80C (176F or so) which personally to me seems insane, but considering that 40C (~104F) is actually normal and cool compared to computers I guess it's not all that surprising.
Hello everyone,
I was going for a swim in the pool three days ago and have forgotten to put my Nexus 4 in my duffel bag. The phone was submerge along with my swimming short for over 30 seconds :crying:. I dried off the phone, opened it up to removed the battery, and dried it off with a hair blow dryer for five minutes continuously. Then I put my phone in a bowl of rice. Its been two days hoping that the moisture is gone, I plugged it to a wall charger and have gotten the "blinking red light of death". Next, I removed the battery and charge the phone with out it, giving me a boot loader screen with the green android and the Google logo. But putting the battery back and turning it on only giving me that annoying blinking red light. I hope all the phone component is still good. So at this stage can you guys tell me if the battery is dead and would purchasing a new battery resolve this issue? Any input to resolve this red blinking light would be helpful, thank you for reading.

I have charge twice and installed the battery back and still get the blinking red light. As you have done this before, how did you go about doing it? Was the battery suppose to be "hot" when its being charge? Did you soldered the charging cable "hot and neutral" to the battery positive (+) negative (-) as shown in step 7?

I'm not sure the battery was hot during the process #7..
I took some old phone charger, cut the two wires apart (the positive and negative), and just made them touch the relevant spots on the battery (no soldering was made).
Did you wait more than 15 minutes during this charging?

Thanks for your reply. I also used an old lg charge with the right amount of Voltage ouput. I think it was 5 Volt or something and just split the cable, made it touch the relevant spots and used it electrical tape to secure the the charging charging cable making sure that the wire made contact with the positive and negative spot. Im not sure which cable was positive or negative, so I had to swap cable around and recharge every 15 minutes trial. I know my connection looks messy but thats the best i could do to make sure the make contact at the charging point on the battery. Is this how you do it? lol

Basically it seems fine.
There are two more things I recommend trying:
1. Try charging it for 30 minutes.
2. When plugging the battery back, just plug it, and don't screw the two screws of the battery.
Try these two things - and keep updating if the red light still shows

I have tried charging twice with 30 minutes cycle on each attempt, and have installed the battery back to the phone without the screw of the battery. I tried turning the phone on by holding down the power button for 10 seconds, but there was no Google logo splash screen. The same thing happen on my second attempt, no Google or boot-loader screen. I plugged in the wall charger and let it sit for over two hour and still cant turn it on, only the blinking red light. Removing the battery, charging directly from the cable, and holding the power volume button down at the same time gave me a boot-loader screen and Google logo but the phone immediately shut off. Any ideas what else I could try? Could you tell me about where my phone is damage base on the picture from my earlier post?
If you see Google's logo, your phone can run fine. The problem is probably the dead battery. Consider replacing it with a new one.

Thanks i just order a new one yesterday, just thought I give it a shot instead of buying a new phone. Lets hope its as you say. Thanks for your input.
Ordered a new battery, and it booted up fine. The important thing is that the blinking red light of death is gone so far.. thank goodness! Looks like the battery shorted out when my phone was submerge in the water. There is one small yellow streak line on the bottom right of the screen now but I can live with that. Glad nothing else is damage Thank you for all of your help! Cheers!
