Hi all.
I've bought a XDA IIi on eBay, with no cradle (An O2 one from UK, and I live in Spain). I received it with a travel charger, for a SPV E200 model, but with the same connector. The travel charger supplies an output of 4.5-12V and 400 mAh. The XDA did not work, so I supposed I received it with the empty batteries (both main and backup batt), so I put it to charge with the travel charger. After 2-3 hours of charging, it still does not work, does not respond to power button or soft and hard reset attempts. But the XDA shows an orange/red blinking light when charging it. According to the manual, it should be an amber solid led when charging it. The only solid led I've seen is a green one on the charger.
I still don't know if it works. I'm receiving and usb sync/charger cable these days, but I don't know if it will light up the PDA.
I've seen some posts where people talked about much more charging hours, and one post talking about that blinking orange led was caused by a low-power charging, and another where talked about it was a problem with empty backup battery. But after 2-3 hours I think at least the backup battery should be fully charged.
I would like to know if anyone knows what does that blinking led exactly mean, and if I have to charge it 24 hours or more until it responds to power button and does anything else but blinking light. Has it to be a continued charging?.
Thank you.
OK, I've received an usb sync/charge cable and a charger, and after some minutes charging it worked. I've got the next conclusion:
Blinking led means charger not giving power enough. Red led means crytical battery level. (So blinking red means no charging power enough and very low batt). Solid led (no blinking red or amber) means enough charging power. Amber led means no crytical batt level.
I hope this helps anyone who got the same problems I got too.

I read some threads here about not charging, but my situation is different and all stuff mentioned in elder posts do not help me.
So the problem is: some days ago I was fishing and my phone got some water. I kept it in warm place, it turned on normally, but I can not charge it anymore. Orange light is on (so phone says it is charging), but charger light stays blue only for some secs, after it turns green (saying it does not charge the phone). Tried wall charger, usb and even car charger. All the same...
Maybe some of you already had this problem?
Thanks
Water splash and Kaiser TYTN II no longer charges battery
Same issue here. : (
Is it the battery? Maybe you need to replace the usb port probably rusted.
So, I thought I see if anyone else has had this issue with the Nook charger. My first charger stopped lighting up correctly (not turning green when charged). The LED actually never changes from amber, even when the nook is not plugged in. It also stays dimly lit for about 60-120s after the cable is unplugged from the wall. It still provides the normal charge, but I'm scared to use it. I had this replaced (and the replacement is now broken - arg), but I was wondering if it might be safe to use.

Hi,
After using my phone all day yesterday it went down to 15% battery so I turned it off and put it on charge using a mains charger. When I switched the plug on the LED went red and I assumed it was charging the phone.
Got up this morning and the led is still red and the phone won't switch on so I am assuming it didn't charge properly, have plugged in the usb charger and am now waiting to see if the light goes green once charged...
Any ideas why the light was red if it wasn't charging, and why it is still red this morning, does it do this when the battery is low and the phone is off?
When the phone is turned off and charging, it will be red. When the battery is enough (not full), it will boot up to a charging state.
All you will see is a battery with a green bar across it.The led will now emit, yellow/red.
Not sure what the problem was but I'm guessing this phone cannot be charged correctly with a mains charger so I will stick to using USB chargers connected to the mains, once I switched to that charger the phone started charging correctly and the led went from red to orange to say it was actually charging
It is not good to leave your phone charging overnight.

take a look at this article. I have been following these steps and even till today my iphone 4 battery operates like the day I first got the phone.
So I used GPS to navigate from NJ to Connecticut. Phone was using car charger and well as being on full brightness and Google Navigation running. I happened to notice the LED light was blinking red which I've never. I had some emails and messages, which I cleared the notifications and read them. The light still blinked red. It continued until I unplugged the charger for a bit, exited out of nav, and plugged it back in, and reopened Nav. The phone was very hot.
I also noticed the car charger didn't seem to keep up with the amount of power the phone was drawing, because it had decreased a little, but not drastically.
Was it overheating? Is this normal? Now I'm in the office charging it normally and there is no blinking red LED, just the typical static red LED.
unless you have a fast charge car charger it wont keep up while using navigation. ive experienced that on every smart phone ive owned. im not sure about the blinking red light. might be because it was in charge mode and was losing power. and its gonna get hot when charging and using gps/nav or playing games
This just happened to me in the car. I took at look at the temperature with a battery monitor and it looks like it happens at around 120 degrees F. Searching other threads (One X) shows similar behavior when an overheat+charging condition occurs. After I blasted the A/C and cooled the phone off, the phone resumed charging (solid red LED) without having to re-insert USB.
I have a C6003 running 4.4 Stock with an unlocked BL and am rooted. The phone screen is cracked at the top third (not smashed, just 2 long cracks) and that third of the screen does not receive touch input, but still displays. Anyway, the phone is currently out of battery, when I try to power it on, I get either a flash of the Sony logo then 3 blinks of the red LED or just straight to the LED, which is normal. I plug it in to charge (tried several USB cable / wall plug combos, up to 2.1A etc.) and the red LED glows solid as it should. Even hours later it still will not power on and gives me the blinking LEDs...It was charging for a total of at least 7 hours and is still not turning on. I have had several battery issues recently but this is the most serious. I am sending my phone in for repair under insurance for the screen but need to back it up first! Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Quick edit to add the fact that this same issue occurred yesterday as well but it eventually powered on with 15% battery, I used it and it would not charge and so that is why it is run down again. Even when powered on it would not charge, the LED did light and it charged for 5 seconds each time the cable was inserted, but after the 5 the LED would stop and it would stop charging. The phone knew the cable was there though as when it was inserted Stamina mode was disabled (as it should) even though it was not charging?
