Phone battery drained now won't power up - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Last night I was using my Nexus and the battery died during use. It happens. I plugged it in to charge and got a green LED which I though was odd since I had never seen that before. After a few seconds I got the familiar battery symbol on the screen but I noticed it wasn't charging. unplugged and replugged then went to sleep. I woke up the next morning to a very dead phone. No button combination would power it back on. I thought maybe the phone didn't charge at all so I moved it to a second Motorola Turbo Charger I have and left it for an hour. Came back, nothing. I then moved it to a Qi charger to see what happens. Came back an hour later, nothing again. I've tried several other chargers, and also charging via PC USB to no avail.
When I plug it in to my laptop I do get a "device recognized" tone from Windows 10 but nothing more. Device manager doesn't show me anything. ADB devices doesn't show anything.
At this point what can I do? This is the second RMA I've had to do from Motorola, the first was a bad power button.
Help!

try a different usb chord and try a different charger, they can "die" rather quickly sometimes.

Yep, I've tried several working chargers. No go. Including wireless chargers.

try this, my phone stops charging occasionally and this is what I do.. I boot into recovery(twrp recovery, it shows if charging or not), I see it charging there, then I boot back into system. if you don't have twrp recovery, try it with stock recovery. hopefully you have enough of a charge to try.

Thanks simms, still no luck. There's no charge at all on this one so I can't even get it to recovery.

Try long pressing the power button for 20 seconds...

what's odd is that it won't charge on a wireless charger. my USB is kinda broken, so I use a wireless charger. it could be that the battery itself is messed up, maybe you need a new battery. if you had it here, in NYC, I'd offer to try to fix it for you(no charge), well if it doesn't need a new battery.
---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------
does the wireless charger have a light on it, for when its charging? if you put your phone on it, does a light go on?

Thanks simms!
Still no luck so you're probably right. Likely a bad battery. I contacted Motorola since I bought it from them directly and had me RMA it without many questions. Hopefully I have a working Nexus again in a week or so.

The phone was less than a year old.
It was actually a replacement device as the original one I bought had a bad power button (it was hard to press).

[Q] Stock Nook: Battery too low to power ON.

Ok so this nook was bought brand new in December 2010 For my mother In-law. She hasn't used it much. So I asked if I could put Android on it? She said sure cause she hasn't used it at all. As a matter of fact the NC was totally dead when she gave it to me. So I get back to my house and put it on the stock charger. I let it charge for 2 hours. I picked it up and turn it on and all I see is this message: Battery too low to power ON. I did a search and turned up similar problems but the nc where all rooted. I'm wondering if other people have had this same problem? And what they did to solve this as it is more then likely an easy fix. A. Take it back to the store and exchange it. Or. B. Send it off for repairs. C. Someone On XDA has the answer.
Also I've done some trouble shooting like trying to reset it. Also I've used 3 Other chargers and its still not charging or turning on.
Edit: It turns on it just stays at the screen with a red battery displaying the message in the title. Also after charging for a while the screen kind of lites up like its going to turn on but only goes black after that and then comes back to the same red battery screen.

what are you charging from? are you using the stock nook cable and plug?
Yes. And charging it from the wall outlet. Did that with the stock charger. my charger from my HD2 and also tried with the charger from my vibrant. All have the same affect. It has the red battery and the messege below and it also has been a total of 6 hours of charging 2 hours each with the all the chargers.
That stinks. You may have to contact B&N for it. If your using the stock and other chargers then it must be a battery failure.

Yeah seems to me thats what it must be I'll post back what I find out.
When that message is displayed, try holding the power button for 30+ seconds and then turning it back on.
That has worked for me the couple of times it seemed stuck on that screen.

If you're using other chargers, it's possible that you've damages the usb port. The NC uses a non standard usb port, which has two stages. The first stage is standard 5 pin uusb communication, the second stage is non-standard 12 pin charging...

Non-Standard chargers...
As far as I can tell it works fine with any microusb cord.
Their charger cables break...(bend and break) very easy. I have gone through 2.
The upside is that their charger provides power far faster than the normal microusb cords.
At this point...I'm charging mine almost exclusively from my stock evo cord.
If you don't turn off the screen when charging...it may not have enough power coming in to actually build a charge without their cable.

I never used another charger besides the stock charger that came with the NC. Up until this happened all that was ever used was the stock cable for charging. I only used another charging cable once I ran into these problems cause I figured the cable was damaged. Its happened to me before with other devices. But the same results happen with every cord I use. When I plug it in it lights up and shows the red battery screen. So that tells me that the cord or USB port couldn't be the problem. Cause its clearly getting power its just not charging.

No. They sell it without one...the 8GB internal storage is enough for looooottts of books. The microsd was just a nice + for people with lots and lots of music.
I had this issue as well, but I found a fix!
No matter what I did or how long I let it charge, it would always have that red low battery icon.
What I ended up doing to fix it was opening up the back of the unit and disconnecting the battery cable from the unit. I then plugged it directly into the wall without the battery connected to see if it would boot, though I don't know if that was necessary, I don't even remember if it booted that way or not.. I think it did not.
Anyway I unplugged the power cable again, reconnected the battery, then plugged in the power cable and tried to boot and it booted up perfectly after that. The battery icon indicated 13% charge, but it quickly charged back up just fine.
FYI I left the unit in the car overnight right before this happened, and it was pretty chilly that night, 10-20 degreed Fahrenheit. I suspect that caused the issue for some reason, so I've been sure not to do so since.
P.S. I had to do a fair amount of googling around before I found good instructions on taking apart the NC. I think I had to take off the 2 screws under the SD card slot and use a butter knife to just pry the back off. It's just held in with clips and you can't tell it was opened except for the little stickers over the screw holes.

Thanks for the feed back. I'm wondering by un-pluging the battery from the nook if it resets it. Kind of like if a phone freezes or if your computer freezes and you pull the battery. Seems like a plan. Not sure if this is what I'll do as I'm sure its still under warranty. If it comes back and its not covered or B & N wont replace it I guess thats my only hope.
im having the same problem as well it was off for a while and now its at the red batter screen. i guess ill try and take it apart?

If your not worried about voiding the warranty then sure I guess its worth a shot.
So I got it fixed right. All it was was a faulty cable lol!

I had this problem too, but I'm not sure "faulty" is the right word for the cable.
My friend borrowed my nook and returned it with a dead battery (Thanks asshole). So I plugged it into my computer at work and just got the always-on low battery message. After 45 minutes I took it to my car so I wouldn't forget it. I plugged it into my USB charger in the car using a different cable. Two hours later, same state.
When I got home I pugged it into the Nook wall charger with yet another cable (not the nook's original) and got the same thing. I searched here to see if I could figure out what was going on and decided to try the original cable with the wall plug. literally two seconds after plugging it in it started booting into Froyo.
I'm sure I didn't have four "faulty" cables. I think those that are saying you should be using the original are correct. The others worked fine when the battery wasn't empty, but mine only responded to the original once it got to the point of the unending low-battery message.
Original charger / cable required with totally empty battery
Same here. With battery completely empty and non standard cable,stuck at red battery sign forever. With orginal cable, boots fine and charges.
solution I found
Have CM7 installed on SDCard, got the battery icon, even with the unit plugged into the charger with oem equipment. Held the power button 'til the unit turned off completely, removed the sdcard, rebooted. Nook booted into stock fine, turned off, re-inserted sdcard and rebooted. All is well.

[Q] HTC One won't turn on or charge

HTC One won't charge or turn on. I was just sitting around setting up my new computer, and I checked my phone and it was at 1%. I figured I could just let it run out because I wasn't using it. Later, when I went to charge it, I noticed that no LED light was showing up when I tried to charge it. I tried plugging it into the computer, and the computer would make the sounds it makes when a USB is plugged in. When I tried turning it on from there, the computer sounds went back and forth with several seconds in between each beep. There was still no LED light, and I have tried to use the "volume button- power button" booting method but it hasn't worked. I also tried charging it overnight and when I got up in the morning there was still no LED light and nothing else was working. The phone is not rooted, but it did have water damage over a month ago. I put the phone into DampRid for a few nights and my phone was back to normal. I have not encountered any other problems since then, and now my phone will not boot. Any suggestions? Anything I can do?

I decided to put the phone back into the DampRid to see if there was any excess that was left inside of the phone. I pulled it out just before and and saw that I left a little bit in there so I'll leave it in there for a few days. Then, I'm going to try plugging the charger in in different ways and see what happens. Im also gonna try plugging it in for a whole day and see what happens.

I would suggest waiting for a day or two. Let your device cool down and take it out of it's case if it has one. My HTC One was fine after I let it take a break for a day. I put it in DampRid, but letting it cool down for a day really helped. Letting your battery die is something you should NEVER do because it just happened again to me. I'm going to let it rest for a day and let you know what happens. Hopefully it works.

[FIX] Revive phone from the drain of death

this is a problem on Xperia Devices (at least the ones with a sealed battery my x10 never had this).
This drain brick happens because the hell i know, but is phone bricked, dark, no light , no vibration, nada, its was a real brick.
how i fixed it? sort of i fixed my Xperia T had to provoke charging but the Z1 doesnt have a red blinking light after charging it for a while... but it does have a magnetic charging port!.
now to the instructions. following what i did to try and revive my phone.
1. try to charge the phone for an hour or so.
2. most like it wont charge but if you connect it to the PC, it will sort of react to it, just try unplugging and plugging the phone till it reacts, you may even leave it to charge there just in case (for about 10 mins if you want i leaved it for 3).
3. get a 2 AMP charger, the original one or a known brand charger like anker (i did it with my anker charger and it worked).
4. get or Use a magnetic cable/dock and connect it simultaniously with the usb cable on the PC. (and no the magnetic cable wasnt enough to jump charge the phone).
5. if the stimulation worked, it should be able to show a really dim red led, that means your phone is still alive
6.let it charge it will turn on alone.
7. smile and cry out of joy because your 500-700 dollar phone still works.
if it worked or you have any modifications on this method leave a comment and hit the THANKS button.
btw i turned on my phone and it had 1% that means it never charged until i jump charged it.
Interesting. For normal charging, will plugging the Z1 to the USB and magnetic ports simultaneously speed up charging as well?

no you can't speed up charging. Charging speed is limited to cable quality, AC plug quality and software/hardware restrictions.
the USB on PC and magnetic cable combo for some reason helps to start the phone like you do when you want to recharge an depleted car battery.
It just open the circuit and let the phone charge again.
someone please confirm if this works for more than one person/situation.
Thanks for assistance btw, hopefully it works for all of us.
Nope doesn't work.
I tried it already.
Sorry guys.
Worked for me. Took some time before PCC registered it though.

as i told you on the PM write up how you bricked it exactly and what steps have you done so i can help you correctly.
i will post pictures of the procedure of how i did it when i get a few hours to edit and upload it.
Tried this trick last night. After 2 hours LED stopped blinking and became stable RED (no flashing). This is the first time in 1 month that LED stopped flashing, I was even able to Hold Power+Volume up button and it vibrated 3 times (nothing like that happened in the past). So it was a significant improvement from where I was 2 days ago. However, LED suddenly turned off and when I connected it to charger again it started to blink again. Buttons do not respond again.
Little info from the past:
I bricked my Z1 when I flashed .290 ROM. Left it on charge for 2 days nothing happened, flashtool would not recognize it and kept saying USB debugging off. Then I decided to open back cover and remove the battery so it could reset. That didnt resolve the issue and i just gave up.
Video instruksion would be very helpfull maybe

Yes. But the computer simply recognised it as a normal "unknown" usb device with usb debugging disabled.

Exact same thing happened to me. "USB debugging off"
All I did was plug in the magnetic connector, then with the PC turned on and Pc companion running I plugged in the USB, it took about 20 minutes to recognise it but once it did, I unplugged it, left it on charge via the magnetic plug for around 5 hours and although the charging symbol never appeared it booted into recovery the normal way (I did that just to see what would happen) then restarted the phone via Cwm and it worked normally from then on.

The symbol that appears on the screen.
I also kind of used this method.
I directly plugged in, in these steps.
1) Plug in magnetic charging dock with 1A charger (Plugged USB into charger)
2) Plug in USB with 2.1A charger (Plugged USB into charger)
Dim-ish red light popped up and the phone began booting.
Plugging into the phone for me wasn't as effective as plugging into the charger as I left it for a while and nothing happened but upon plugging USB into my single dual port charger this method worked to get my phone onto the charging screen, Android L
Had to plug the USB in and out a few times, not too many times, but eventually it booted up to the charging screen.
Be patient is the key I suppose?
For me worked with magnetic and usb 1A charger! Thanks!

[Q] Help please - Phone Bricked

I bought a Moto G 2014 Dual Sim XT1068 back in November and hadn't had any issues with it until today. I bought an anger 3000MaH portable battery pack and was amazed at how quickly it charged my phone. I used it yesterday and charged it overnight. I used it throughout today. I turned it off around midday and plugged it into my charger. When I attempted to turn it on later nothing happened. No, please charge, no **** has crashed, just nothing. The screen just stays dark. My computer no longer recognises it as a device and my portable charger will no longer recognise it as a phone to be charged, I know this because it worked with a friends phone, but not mine, and it still has battery (the charger)
What should I do?
Do I use ADB, ask Anker, return it, what is my best course of action?
If anyone knows what to do please reply as until this is fixed I do not have any ideas.
PS; No rooting, bootloader unlocking, or use of custom ROMs has occurred, the phone is completely using stock android.

I bought a Moto G 2014 Dual Sim XT1068 back in November and hadn't had any issues with it until today. I bought an anger 3000MaH portable battery pack and was amazed at how quickly it charged my phone. I used it yesterday and charged it overnight. I used it throughout today. I turned it off around midday and plugged it into my charger. When I attempted to turn it on later nothing happened. No, please charge, no **** has crashed, just nothing. The screen just stays dark.

I soft-bricked mine yesterday because TWRP kept crashing when I flashed my ROM. During my search for a solution I ran into a post from a guy with a similar problem of yours. His phone wouldn't charge at all.
He solved his problem by pressing PWR+VolDwn for 3 minutes. Then plug it in to a charger and leave it be. And make sure to use a proper charger (cable straight from the wall preferably)
Give that a try. Try ruling out a hardware problem. And return it as a last resort. Good luck

TRY this plug in charger and hold power for 2 mins+ to force a reset and forced boot up - holding for 120 seconds + is the key and repeat charger cable must be plugged in.
- power and volume down is normally to get to AP fastboot flash mode, agreed a good wall charger is needed not usb port power.

Okey, you are probably right. I was quoting from my foggy mind

[Q] encountered the infamous sudden death, would a new battery fix my problems?

so phone suddenly decided to stop charging, when it went to 0, it never turned on again
had a red led at first then nothing, if i buy a new battery will it be fixed or is it a problem bigger than that?
thanks in advance
Well, it seems that you have a charging issue, and not a battery issue.
I'd say you better take it to Sony Service Center if possible, or try to charge it with dock if you have one around.
Good luck!

ive used a magnetic charger and the microusb charger, neither of them do anything so i thought it would be a battery problem
No its not .If You drained your battery to 0% it make take some time to charge ,Just leave it charged maybe an hour or so even if the red light is not showing .After an Hour it will show up .

this occurred over a week ago
ive followed every procedure possible, i've charged overnight with microusb, overnight with microusb into wall, overnight with magnetic from computer, overnight magnetic from wall

Did you tried pressing the reset button? (The one located aside sim port)

yes i have, does it constitute as a battery problem yet? haha
update: oh sh*t, it might because i used a new wire rather than the advice of "use the wire the phone came with", but after 3 continuous days of charging, i got red leds
what's the next move?
edit: when off charging, i held down the power button and got the 3 flashes again
i tried holding power button + volume up, did not get any vibrations, according to other threads, i should connect it to AC and led should be red, led isn't red, gonna just leave it charging for a week on AC and see if my computer recognizes it
I have a similar problem. Basically I've had problems with some roms I've had going so I tried to reformat using flashtool and stock. Got it to work but got to around 10% battery. I then proceeded to flash a new kernel/recovery but it didn't boot anymore and am now stuck with a phone that only shows red LED when charging. What should I do?
P.S. I left it charging all night and it still won't boot up. Reflashed it (NOTE: All my flashes were successful) and no dice. Still red LED.

As you said, the phone decided to stop charging and the battery got to 0% so yeah it's a charging issue, the battery seems to fine to me.

Try connecting both magnetic and MicroUSB charger together, I've read on the internet that this forces the battery to charge

That happened to my own too. I got it to detect by plugging in my charger and doing a hard rest (Volume up + power button) then as quickly as possible unplug it. Once unplugged, make sure to plug it to your computer in flashmode in the first try.

I don't remember the exact steps cuz it didn't work for me (seems like I have a blown chip or something) so I didn't give it much interest. But I believe it was something like what hakkai said, connect both and as soon as the light comes on hold power + vol up and when it vibrates disconnect the phone and connect it immediately in flashmode then do whatever you want.
