Phone keeps restarting

I dunno what went wrong, my phone was running empty so i connected it to my pc and it was charging, when i woke up it was empty and not charging anymore.
I finely got it back to charge and now every 10 minutes the phone boots, u see the boot screen with 2% battery warning and then it goes right to ' shutting down ' and turns of again and that's all it does now, i can't charge it past 2% because then it boots and shuts down right away.
Anyone encountered anything like this and has a solution?

your phone is on which firmware version?

It's out of the box, in the netherlands, donno what firmware that is and i can't check it because realy all it does is shutting down....
Got the phone like 1 or 2 weeks ago and didnt update it or rooted it to avoid stuff like this xD

Have you tried charging from the plug rather than from the computers usb?

yeah i did but for the past 2 days it didnt charge at all only when i charge it it keeps restarting, when i don't charge it it just blinks 3 times red and does nothing.
While it's recharching the on/off button doenst respond either, it does it all by itselff

These are the times I am glad I own an external battery charger and 2 spare batteries.
I think you should invest in a set OP.

I have a spare charget and i HAD a spare battery if i only knew where it was...
Today i'm going to the vodafone shop and demand a new one because this is costing me money because no one can reach me ffs

Nexus 10 won't boot after charging

Hi guys,
My battery went completely dead, left it to charge over night, now wont boot at all. If its plugged into the charger and I hold the power button the full battery symbol (black and white) shows for about 2 seconds and then goes off for about the same time then reapers. Any ideas?
Device status:
- Stock rom
- boot loader unlocked
- non-rooted
I've tried :
- Hold power for 30 seconds to a minute
- Hold power + volume buttons for 30 seconds to a minute
- no response form my computer when its plugged in
- no response when trying to boot into fast boot
I am aware this has already been asked. I've tried the other threads but no luck
EDIT
I got mine to boot. I have literally no idea how, I just tried the power button again and it burst into life, although the battery was empty.
I think this could be due to not letting the battery die enough. I normally let my phone (HTC One) so completely flat every month or so but i've never done it for the Nexus 10.

The same problem please help

Serious bump. Ive tried all of these methods, but it just shows the charge icon when plugged in. This is the first time for me that it wouldnt just turn on after going into that sleep state. Charged over night.

I think this is the same issue that many (or a few) people are having. Mine, for example, will be at 100% charge. Then, sometime in the day (without using it) it will die. It will not power on. When I plug it into a charger, it will show the charge indicator on the screen, and I can get it to power on 50% of the time right away by holding down the power button for about 5-10 seconds.
When it boots up, the android tells me it is at 0% battery. If I leave it plugged in it will usually show 100% again after a short period of time, but until then, if i unplug it, the tablet powers right off.

Here is a pretty good thread to see the issue.

Here's a question for you:
Watch your battery life. At any point, does it begin NOT draining? Such as remaining at 60% for 2-3 hours during usage? If so, you may have a defective motherboard and require warranty replacement, as that was one of my symptoms.

Battery don't charge anymore. Fastboot still possible and see logo on cable plugged

Hello all,
After a long time with Android phones since 2009, it's the first time I have such an issue.
Yesterday, I noticed my phone was low battery, and charged it during the night. Didn't pay attention a lot at the morning, and used it a little bit. At work, I noticed battery was very low and realized it didn't charge over 3%. Let it like this a couple hour, and realized it didn't charge anymore - Screenshot 1
After a long call this morning, battery dies and it's now impossible to charge.
What I did.
When I plug it, little battery+lignthing symbol. Nothing else. (shouldn't I see a battery charging animation? I don't remember as the battery of this phone usually never dies.)
Fastboot is working well, I tried to fastboot erase userdata and cache, just in case.
When Pressing volume down+up a couple of seconds, as instructed is some help forums, I see the red battery low symbol (and charging text, but obviously don't charge) - Screenshot 2
When pressing power + volume down about 15-20s, same scenario than before but text is green - Screenshot 3
I tried to contact seller and make the warranty work, but they are still trying to contact Motorola and seems complicated.
Please help me, I have to use an iPhone 6 while waiting for a warranty/response, it's just.... so ... iPhonish....

Just a quick update.
With the help of an USB power meter, I noticed that the phone will never charge. (or just 0.01 Amp)
I used the vol down + power to get into Fastboot: the phone "charged" with 0.1-0.2 Amp.
Only issue is that the phone will only stay a few minutes in this mode, then restart and thus stop charging.
I repeated the operation a few times till I get 3% of battery.
Then I was able to reboot into recovery, where the phone took 1.14 Amp => Problem solved!!!

Did you solve the problem? I have the very same problem and can only charge my phone in recovery mode. If I connect the charger while already booted into system a circle with a horizontal line in it appears in the battery symbol.
Tried to flash another kernel or rom without success.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Did this ever get any solution? Same problem here....

I post what I did to fix it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70917477&postcount=21

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

[Q] Battery at 0% - Won't Charge!

Sorry if this has been covered but after an hour searching lots of threads about battery/charging issues, I can't find anything...........
Plugged my phone (S6Edge+) in as normal last night, this morning after about 1hrs use the battery was at 10%?? Didn't notice when I unplugged it if it was at 100% when I unplugged it but I guess not?
So I've plugged it back in and gone back about an hour later and it's shut down? Battery is showing 0% and it goes through power up sequence ok but then shuts down due to lack of battery.
When plugged in, I have the red LED top left, I get the empty battery graphic with a lightning bolt in the middle, then the graphic changes to 0% and I get the 3 green circles in sequence at the bottom of the screen.............all as normal, except the battery is staying at 0%?? Is there anything I can do?
I've tried different charger/cable, tried volume down + power, about to try a hammer.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I had something similar happen to me recently . Heres what I did. Connect the charger to the phone, while connected reboot to recovery(TWRP), leave the phone alone about 20mins, after the 20 mins are up reboot back to recovery while still connected, now you should see atleast 1 percent battery while in recovery, reboot your phone as normal from recovery and now it will charge. This is what has worked for me.
