SITUATION
My Cingular 8500 does not power on. I have tried connecting it to wall charger as well as USB cable. The red or the orange light also does not come on. I tried all resets also but nothing worked.
BACKGROUND
a. My phone suddenly went off when I was opening the sliding keyboard. It had a decent (60%) charge at that time. After this it refuses to come on.
b. Only addition to the phone in the last 3 months has been a 2GB MicroSd Card. I inserted this card 4 days back and it was working fine.
c. The device is around 6 months old (but its unlocked, running WM6 and does not have any warranty)
d. I have been using the original wall charger to charge this phone regularly.
HELP REQUIRED
1. Is there a way to check if the problem is with the battery or with the phone? I do not have a spare battery.
2. Should any light come on if I connect the phone to charger without the battery inserted in it?
Thanks!
Try this:
1.) Remove battery
2.) Connect Hermes to charger or USB
3.) Insert the battery while Hermes is connected to charger
4.) Red light should turn Amber
5.) Soft Reset
i have the same situation going on ... except with mine the screen faded out...it came back on once...and faded out again and will not turn back on.. when i put it on the charger it was a red light.. and will not turn on or soft reset, or enter bootloader or hard reset. .. in addition i tried the method above and nothing has worked.... any other suggestions...my phone was working fine when this happened out of nowhere... i dont have insurance either i bought the phone from someone off of craigslist..help is greatly appreciated
I am having the exact same problem, I had about 30% charge, then it just shut off, and now will not come back on under its own power or via USB nor charger. I tried connecting the charger then inserting the battery, but I do not get any indicator lights at all.
I was running WM6, and the most recent thing installed was the pointUI home screen replacement app.
has anyone experienced this before?

It wont power on threw charger without a "good" battery plugged in.
Sounds like u might have a bad battery. Happend to a friend of mine "different phone" just go to a local Radioshack If they have your type of battery and have one in stock they will most likely let you try one on your phone. If not just go to ATT wireless store and see if they have one you can try and buy.

Dear demo23019, I am not sure if I understand the above correctly. Should the Power LED light up "red" when battery is not inserted?
Once I connect the phone to charger (wall or USB), without the battery inserted in it, no red light comes on.
Does this mean that there is some problem with the phone hardware?

Yea the power LED should light up red with out a battery plugged in. Check the usb plug on the bottom of your phone, make sure the middle piece inside is still there and didnt break off.

Oops. My phone's power LED does not light up when I connect it to the charger without the battery inserted in it.
I have checked the following :
a. usb plug is fine (I checked it by plugging it into the Y cable for the USB charger. The LED on the Y cable lights up when I connect the USB plug into it
b. The middle piece inside the socket at the bottom of the phone is still there and shows no signs of damage.
c. The wall charger is also working fine.
Does this conclude that the phone has a hardware fault and this is not linked to the battery being dead?

I just had the same problem. I had it happen to my Att Tilt and then to my cingular 8525. You should check out this thread and maybe post your info there too, it would be nice to see everybody post in the same thread so we can figure out what's going on.

yh
yh i got the same problem, i touched the power button so it wld go into standby, and it then refused to turn back on, even when i soft resetted it. Plugged it into the wall charger without the battery and there is no red power light coming on.
I've got a MDA Vario II and though im gettin a replacement, it kinda sucks as it seems im gna lose all my data
can we try to determine in more detail what people installed before they experienced this?
I just pulled it apart, and cleaned the inside to no avail, nothing seems to be awry, atleast not to my untrained eye, however it did get me thinking.
I listen to music on my tytn all the time, and over time the usb connector has become quite loose, frequently losing connections over activesync and music comes and goes from both lef and right. if the USB connector is shot, then when I plug it in it won't register that there is power, nor will it have the power to light up the red light indicating there is no battery. also, if the usb link is shot, then the phone wasn't charging so my battery is likely dead.
now to test this out I need to have a verified 100% charged battery.
I currently have the same problem. It will not charge via wall/usb. It flashes red once and that's it. Without the battery and plugged in, I get a solid red light. I tried plugging it into the wall charger without a battery and then putting my battery back in. The red light just turns off. That's it. I can get an active sync connection with a dim white screen, but I do not have enough juice to try flashing a new rom. If anyone has issues like these, are you also able to get an activesync connection?
TIA
EDIT: Is it possible to bypass the low battery protection when flashing a rom? My battery is somewhere around 40% so it would be safe.
Update:
Okay, I purchased a new oem battery and a battery charging dock. This way I can charge the battery without the phone before I attempt to flash a new rom.
I still would appreciate it if anyone who has seen these symptoms (white screen BUT with lots of vibrating / no charging / no bootloader) could give me a few pointers. I've exhausted the Wiki and so far it seems my only option to save the phone is to flash a new rom. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to give me some advice.
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.

My wife's Nexus 7 suddenly won't turn on... It still had juice when she went to charge it, but the next day found it was totally dead.
I've tried different chargers, tried to get to the bootloader, opened it and unplugged the battery, hooked it up via USB to my computer, etc and nothing will get this thing to power on.
Any ideas?

I mean, how long did you leave it on AC power? I know when I drain mine since coming to KitKat, it takes as long as a half an hour to respond again.

If you haven't already, try holding the power button for a while until *hopefully* the Google splash appears.
A good way to tell if the device is accepting a current is by using a charger that can verify this somehow, like with an embedded LED. One like this: http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/rapid-wall-charger-with-6-ft-cable-for-micro-usb/
I used this for my HTC Rezound when it still worked to make sure it was taking a charge because it would report it was charging in the OS but the charger module itself reported otherwise (the red Verizon ring didn't illuminate unless the charger was positioned a certain way in the device thus this was the only way I could supply it a charge and not hope it wasn't dead in the morning). When my Nexus 7 is drained, it draws enough voltage to get the charger to illuminate so maybe try one of these to really make sure it's still responding.
For the meanwhile, if you do decide to buy one, what was the last thing you/your wife had done? Was there root access?

Interesting about the charger -- don't think I have one that does that. Maybe I'll see if my VZW store has one, not sure yet.
She had just used her tablet as normal, and plugged it in like she does every other day or so -- the next morning grabbed it and went to work only to find out that it was dead. IE: not turning on.
- No root access (totally stock)
- I've tried holding the power button for up to 2 mins. - nothing
- Even tried holding the down volume and power for up to 2 mins. together - nothing
- Removed the back and unplugged the battery (plug was really tight) and left it undone for 5 mins and reconnected - nothing
- When plugging in to a USB on the computer, the computer dings like I connected something but - nothing
Perhaps I'll take it apart again and see if I can get a voltage reading on the battery with my multimeter... didn't do that before, but would be good to know if it is charged and not turning on or what.

Remove the back cover, locate the plug to the battery, disconnect plug by sliding from right to left, then replug. Should be fine after that.

Thanks but I already did that. Nothing changed. If I don't get it going soon I'll be forced to buy something else as she is getting impatient.
I have the same issue.
I bought a refurbish one and it was working great for 2 days and yesterday when I tried to open it, it won't turn on anymore and I was able to browse on it 5 min before.
I tried everything but I cannot find any solution...
When I plug into a wall I cannot see the charging icon and when I plug it into my computer it will do the noise that a device is plug but nothing happen... I wonder if its the battery that is crap

I own 3 of these N7 tablets and this has been the number one issue. Sent one for repair when it was under warranty. The supplied Nexus wall charger burn out quick, and aftermarket cables last only 3 months. I've had better results using the Samsung wall charger and cable.
OP, it sounds like your wife's N7 is in APX mode. Connect it to your PC via a USB cable, and open Control Panel's devices and printers panel. If it sees an APX device, and you didn't make NVFlash blobs, your only recourse is a motherboard replacement.

I just got my new N7 32gb GSM 2012 in the mail today. Won't turn on at all. I'm not going to bother. Going to return it. Quite disappointed, as I didnt realized this issue (apparently with the battery) was so common. Was looking forward to flashing cyanogenmod. Poop. Might just get a samsung tab now, which I think is quite overpriced for its specs.

If you're seriously looking for something other than an N7 then I'd suggest you look at the LG G-Pad.
I bought one for my Dad at Christmas and was amazed by how good the screen is, and the tablet generally, for the price. The LG skin is minimal and can be changed obviously with another launcher, and the battery life is better than my N7.
So I decided to replace my 3 year old battery that had about 50% of its initial capacity remaining with a new one. I followed YouTube video to do it but after reassembling the phone it won't turn on. I tried plugging the charger in for several minutes and putting my old battery back into the phone but without success. The phone does not respond at all, no image or sound or LED light. I'm trying to understand what exactly I've screwed up. So my question is what I should worry about that could make my phone not turn on. For example are camera/proximity sensor connectors crucial or irrelevant? Should I be able to turn my phone on without battery with charger plugged in? Does anyone else have any experience with this and if so what was the problem?
Also the charger was warm in the beginning but after some time it became cold. I think that indicates that the battery was connected properly and was charging. The phone still won't turn on though.
Hey!
First you should make sure that all cables inside the phone are properly connected, double check them - sometimes you'll maybe miss one of these tiny connectors

Maybe the new battery is DOA...
I ran my phone down to empty battery, so I went to charge it. As it was already powered off I left it because, surely, it would charge faster that way.
When I came back to take it off the charger I discovered the phone powered on, display on full brightness, WiFi on and everything, and the phone hadn't charged sufficiently at all.
I never told it to turn on but it does this every time, and even when I turn it back off it turns back on again!!! ???
Thanks for your answers! ?
The same thing happens to me... no offline charging on our G6's, at least not after reaching around 5% of battery.
So when I want to charge my g6 faster, I will plug it in and make sure it's charging and then I will power it off. It will act like it's booting back up but it won't.

You can't change that. The only workaround is to turn it off after you have connected the charger. Since I use wireless charging, that is a difficult option for me so I just gave up.
You can't ffs, it has auto boot after 3-4% of charging. And thats not even a bad thing. If you want charge it faster turn airplane mode on, on charging.

"ffs"? I don't think it was that unreasonable to ask. Don't be rude. I already know about airplane mode.
HI !1
when i put my G6 on charge it mostly show high temperature detected and shutting down message and power off .. what should i do i face high temperature message after 24 hrs .. although my phone is on normal temp and no heat on its body ?
Maybe a software thing? Im on 20G oreo canadian unbranded sim unlocked. I powered down at 2 percent and plugged in charger and my phone stayed off untill i powered up ag 100 percent. Just my observation

Try factory reset first. If still the same then it sounds like a battery failure, which can be replaced but not easily.

That option in settings is there whether you can OEM unlock the device or not... Also, most or at least some G6 models can be OEM unlocked.
That temperature warning is still probably your battery. Batteries can get extremely hot when they malfunction (much more so than the other components alone) so I'd get it checked out or you may have a Note7 in your hands

thanks for info .. lets see i got new battery
So still no fix for the issue? Mine is turning on when charging as well, I mainly use wireless charging but it happens when charging with the USB cable AND when charging wirelessly. The phone will not stay powered off. Any suggestions? I have the most recent Android 8.0.0 update, VS988 on Verizon. I've never had an issue like this on Android, very frustrating.
I also found this link from LG. It seems to be software based, why would they do this?

In my case I drained the battery during usage thus not performing a graceful shutdown. When I try to charge into the wall it displays the charging icon on the screen and runs out of power and shuts down again-->Won't Charge.... I plugged the cable into my computer which seems to perform a slower charge --> the battery icon does not display and I am able to charge... this is silly as as a workaround solution. How to prevent the battery icon from display during charge?
This worked for me and it was so simple. I was looking in the wrong place for an answer.
On the plug end, where the USB cable is plugged into the plug, I noticed that the cable did not seem to be pushed in all the way. I pulled it out of the plug, then reinserted it as far as it would go.
Voila! The problem went away. I can now turn off my phone, insert the charging plug, and the phone goes into fast charge and, most importantly, stays powered OFF. Try it. this might work for you as well.
