Hi,
last night my Desire ran out of juice, and when i woke up it was empty.
So this morning i turned it on, entered my PIN and immediatly plugged it.
When i came back later, it was not running anymore. The LED isn't green as usual, and i can't turn it on.
It charges for several hours now, and nothing happen. I tried pulling of the battery, nothing at all.
I'm running Oxygen 2.0 RC7 (Android 2.3.2) for weeks without any problems.
tl;dr : phone not charging, no led at all. plz help.
Thx in advance for your answers !
EDIT : the phone rebooted without SIM and SD cards. Weird.
I just faced the same problem. I woke up to see the battery was compelety drained and the phone was off. I plug in the charger but the led doesn't turn on. How did you resolve this? How did you manage to reboot the device?
In my case, the phone was on with the charger plugged in but battery icon is red and empty. I reboot and clear battery stat in clockworkmod, reboot and all's well again...
Resolved
Well, in my case I had drained the battery completely. The phone neither would turn on nor would charge after the battery was drained overnight. I checked that there was about 3V in all cells of the battery.
In such case, pull out the battery and plug in your charger and you can see the led flash in all colors. This will make sure that the problem is with the drained battery and not the phone. Leave the charger plugged in for about 10-15 mins without the battery. Then put the battery back on and charge your phone, it should start charging and you will be able to see the red led. Now, let it charge till till your battery is fully charged.
i also have the problem that the phone want charge
when i insert the charger (with removed battery) sometimes the led starts flashing and sometimes it does not
at the first time i tried your method and waited for about 10 minutes
at next i inserted the battery but the phone didnt start to charge and now the led want start flashing when i connect it to the charger
ME Too1!!!!

So I got a flashing orange light on my EVO tonight when I plugged it in to charge, phone was dead, wouldn't turn on, dead battery. That's one reason you get a flashing orange light, a completely dead battery, just plug it in and let it sit for a bit and it will get a solid orange light. I advise waiting 20min or so then turning it on.
Side note, car chargers don't always have the power so you can use your phone while it's charging when the battery is really low, had it plugged it and was using it for an hour + and it still died

There are car chargers you can get that will charge the same as your wall charger. Read it and see if it says 1000mA.. There are also adapters that plug into 2 usb ports at 500mA equaling 1000 when charging your phone. Most car usb port chargers have 2 slots or more so its possible. You can also use the adapter method on your computer to receive the full 1000mA charge.
I'm using my palm pre car charger (original). I was streaming Pandora n checking my Facebook and it charged till it was full (green light n all)

Mine charger works for my car, but my moms has a usb port built into the car and that's the one that wouldn't keep my phone alive.

My EVO Shift completely discharged and when I plugged it in to recharge it, I got the same problem - amber light would flash 3 or 4 times then stop, it would not charge and not turn on. I removed the battery for 10min. With the battery removed I plugged in the USB cable into the computer and phone, pressed the power button, unplugged the USB, pressed the power button again, replaced the battery, plugged in the USB and the amber light went solid and appears to be charging now.
BTW, I'm posting this because the OP's solution of plugging "it in and let it sit for a bit" didn't work, it was plugged into the wall adapter all night and didn't charge. I could only get it to do so using the steps above. cheers.
If you happen to be near a Sprint store and the "let it charge for about 20 minutes until solid orange" didn't work, take your battery to them. They can boost it on their battery machine. I see a lot of customers just for this very reason.

I've had my EVO for just a few days and I got the abrupt shut down followed by flashing amber light also. The phone was charging off the usb of my laptop at the time. When i unplugged the phone the light turned off and the phone would not turn on. I thought I fried it because I did not know what flashing amber meant. What was strange about it was that not only did I not receive the usual "battery is nearing 15%, please plug in" notification but the phone powered off when I was reading an article about things to do to prolong battery life. Anyway, I proceeded to charge the phone from an outlet and now things seem to be fine.
I am having a similar problem with my HTC Incredible 2 on verizon. Last night it was charging just fine, and when I woke up this morning it was off and it won't turn on or do anything. I can plug it in and if I hold the battery it will flash the orange light a few times but it always stops. I've tried the fixes in this thread and nothing...what can I do?
It was still almost half way charged when I feel asleep last night so the battery wouldn't have run down. The only thing I'm worried about is if the charger did something to the battery but it seems unlikely as its a charger I've used often.

Thanks! That worked!
I tried bryank909's method and that worked for me too, thanks a lot !
EDIT : after a little time the LED switched off . So I retried the trick and it's not working anymore...

When the amber light is blinking, it basically means charging, but there is not enough turn on voltage to power on the device. If you were previously charging it > remove the battery for 5 minutes > replace it > charge the device on a WALL outlet, NOT a usb charging, i.e. computer, tv, xbox, etc. You should be good to go after that.
Well, when I plug it on a wall outlet and always this switching amber LED...
The fact is that this charger is working well with my other phone (HTC Sensation)
I'll try another charger if I found it !
Hello
This happens on my HTC HD2 when it's on the car mount and used as a GPS, and when there's too much sun hitting the device!
I know I should put the device in the shade, but for that, I'd have to buy a new car mount system, annoying...
In my case of desire sv which suddenly died and was "amber blinking", I had to just push the battery a little bit for it to start working again. Until that point of physical battery adjustment, I tried many options for the "amber blink" to go away.
Thank God, the phone is alive. Apparently, as I understand, the amber blink is to indicate that the battery is not present - perhaps. :on't Know::
I let my phone's battery run out to zero. Then let it sit for a few days, I'm on vacation and I don't need my phone. Now, I am recharging my phone, but something strange happens. The phone is off, and the amber light shows that the battery is charging. After a few minutes, the phone turns itself on and the amber light goes off. The battery does not have enough juice to complete startup, and the phone dies halfway through boot. The battery then begins charging, phone turns on, etc. It's been doing this for several hours now. I can't turn the phone off while it's booting, as the OS to control the keys is not yet working. Any help, I've no idea!
5 minutes in charge should give you about 7-8% battery, enough to get it up and use it for 5 min or so. Sounds like you have a dead battery.
Hmm...doesn't seem possible, the phone is only 2 months old! I'll keep it connected and see what happens. Any idea why the phone turns itself on when not commanded? The problem isn't really the battery, the problem is that the phone won't stay off long enough to recharge fully.
Somebody else posted a thread with what sounds like the same problem -- just a few lines below yours. And devis posted the same answer there -- which sounds like the right answer.
If you have access to -- or go buy -- a new battery, that would be the thing to try.
I'm not a battery expert, but I think it's not a good idea to let the battery -- any Lithium battery -- go down to zero-dead. (That is, you should turn it off or charge it up when it drops below 10%-ish.) That could explain how a 2-month-old battery could die (if it is dead).
Assume you're trying to charge the phone with the AC-wall charger, not connected to the USB port on a computer?
If you can't turn off the phone to keep it from rebooting, I suggest you take out the battery, put it back in and let it charge for a few hours. I would just be careful to not accidentally turn on the phone. Hopefully this will bring your phone back. I read on another thread that if the battery drains completely, it may need to charge for a reasonable amount of time before you can boot it back up.
happens to me whenever i dont notice my battery draining to 0%..
it dies, and i try to turn it on.. turns on, then dies on boot.. plug in charger, and it goes through an endless cycle of turn on and die on boot.
take the battery out and put it back in, but don't push the power button. let it charge for 10-15 mins to let it get enough juice to boot all the way.. then continue charging it
This will also happen when the charger is not putting out enough power such as via usb cable. Make sure the phone is off and use an AC charger if you can.
For the archives, the problem was that the USB port on my computer went bad. I plugged it in to another computer and the phone charged normally. Now I have a broken USB to repair...on a laptop. Should be fun...

If you have the AC wall charger that works better anyway. Some USB ports of some laptops won't work at all -- not because they're broken but because they don't put out enough power -- by design.
Hi there,
I stored my phone for little longer than a month, when i decided to charge it and use it, it didn't charge (plugged to charger for one hour but no orange LED).
while searching with google someone was having same problem, he solved his by plugging the charger first then inserting the battery.
when i plug the charger without the battery in, the phone blinks orange and green,
if i plug the battery when its blinking, it starts charging (orange LED), left it that way till its green (took couple of hours).... but the bad news is, it still doesn't turn ON.
Any idea whats the problem is??
Possibly your phone think the battery is still empty after loading at charger.
Try to boot into recovery, when the charger is plugged in, load until the led is green, and then wipe battery stats. I think it's worth a try.

Could be your battery is dead if you stored the phone for over a month without first charging it. Do you know anyone with the same working battery? Might be worth asking to borrow it and see if works with your phone.

I had this same problem with my Nokia C1-01. I left it to charge overnight, in the morning I pulled out the charger and put it back in again and it started charging.
Maybe this will help you!
Guys i am on Insert Coin Rom.
And tonight i ran out of battery and when i came home i put my phone on charger . And later switched it on and saw it is 21% and then again switched it off and then left it over charger and after few min i remove it from charger and tried to turn it on it doesnt turn on.
And now i charging it over usb at my pc and now red led blinking and it doesnt turn on too!!!
What to do?
This is something i havent herd of before...maybe another member can help you!
have you tried switching on with vol button to get into bootloader?
Red blinking LED means very low battery (not enough to power on the phone), best to charge it with wall plug for at lest 1hr and the phone should turn on again.
USB charging is very slow and might not work when red LED is flashing.
I don't think the phone will charge when switched off with clockworkmod recovery installed.
Don't worry, this happened to me before with custom ROM, just leave it plug in to wall charger and the phone will reboot after 1 to 2 hrs, then it will continue to charge normally.

This made the trick.
So this is the problem: my ZL displays the charging light, it appears to be charging, but does not charge. I always had problems with charging, having to wiggle the connection or something for it to work, but not this type of problem. Sometimes it goes up for like 1%, then down again, wiggling between 10% and 20% battery. This happened in the last 3 hours, i switched cables, wall plugs, etc. Still the same. What can i do? When i keep it plugged it does not discharge, but i'm afraid that if it gets to 0%, it'll die. What can be the problem? Please help me

Dont worry frnd.
Need some inputs before i zero down the problem
1) Are you using the stock charger that came with your phone. If so there is every possibility either the charger head or usb cable has gone faulty.
2) Type *#*#7378423#*#* and goto battery test and check its health condition. If it says condition is good then the fault is with your charger
3) Try using a charger which is a 1500ma charger.The normal charger supports only 800ma/500ma so your mobile will not be able to draw enough current from it and usually takes more time to charge or the charging rate with be equal to the discharging rate like in your case.
Hi,
I had the same problem just recently - phone wouldn't charge to above 5% or so (if I was lucky) - all original charger. When I plugged in the charger, the led light flashed red, then another color (green or yellow, can't remember), and then it didn't charge.
I actually had some problems with charging a couple of times before - it went on and off like 5-6 time, but then it did start to charge normally after a while. This last time, I tried to charge it for hours without any luck.
If i booted it up, it sometimes charged to 4-5%, then it would stop/start/stop/start endlessly. The same thing happened when I connected the phone to my computer, the USB fell off/on/off/on endlessly. I thought it was a faulty cable / charger first, but this happened to all cables and chargers I tried. I then thought it was the USB-port on the phone. Or a faulty battery.
After a while, it mostly stopped at 1-2% - sometimes immediately. I noticed that after using the "battery button" to hard reset the phone, I always seemed to get a few %'s of charge, and it didn't just blink immediately when plugging in the charger.
I had even written my problem description and was about to send the phone back to the retailer, when I did one last try of factory resetting the phone from the recovery, wiping everything. The problem still existed when I booted the phone, however, entering the recovery again after factory reset - I actually noticed that the phone charged above 5% this time. Leaving it on charging while in recovery, it got up to 8%, and then I thought the problem was fixed. Booting again, still same charging problem. I then factory reset again, and tried recovery again... Leaving the charger on - I managed to charge it to 100%. After this, I've never had any problem charging the phone. :|
I don't know what solved the problem, it could be only charging from recovery, or it could be that the full wipe deleted some battery stats or something? I did install an app to wipe battery stats after the problems occured, it also showed the charging rate of the battery, and it went up and down like crazy when I had the problem.
I don't really know if this is of any help, but I had PhilZ recovery at least which I managed to charge with.
You can try any methods, but i realy think that it because bad accumulator.
- original chargers
- hard reset
If it is not help - your way is go to the service.
Usually it the problem with accumulator or power controller.
