Ok here goes i know this is a random question and most of you prolly dont know or care, but ever since i used a friends moto car charger to use on my phone it worked and charged, but now my tmobile dash still thinks the phone is charging, the orange led will never turn off. It stays orange until then the light turns green like the battery is full. So the stupid phone is never plugged but it still shows as it is still plugged, anyone else ever have this problem?

Turn it off.. remove the battery, then put battery back and restart it. Motorola chargers should work fine, I use my old V3T charger all the time
USB chargers tend to use a 5v 1a so you may find that the car had a fluctuation, i'd sugest the same as Bupahs.
Same as i use multiple chargers that have collected over the years.
Or you might be needing a new charger possibly or even a new battery maybe.

When I unplug my Dash from my HTC car charger the charge light and screen icon stayed on. I soft reset many times, and hard reset once and it stayed on. Before I reflash it is their anything I'm not trying? New to note: I let my phone charge overnight and the charge icon on the screen is gone, it shows a full battery. The led is still on, but it's steady green. I think this is a sign of the end is near.
I went out to my van this morning and saw that my car charger no longer works. Mabye some type of power surge caused this. New to note: After charging all night the light is off and the icon is a full battery. My phone showed 100% from 6am to 1:30pm; odd I know. Then I reset it and It was at 7%. I charged it turned off for 3 hrs. and it ran well full green on till one block form my house at 10:30pm. Has anyone had problem after using a "bad" car charger?
Wish my phone didnt stop charging.
I wouldnt need to plug it in every night
your battery may have went bad

I have 2 batterys. I think while charging my phone with my car charger the charger "shorted-out" and messed my phone up. It still works, but the led stays on and the charging icon comes on when it gets below 90%. I installed dontforget .cab to get some led functions back. I like other on this form love my Dash. This is realy hurting me to see it on its' last leg. I found one on craigslist for $60; I paid $140 for my current one on craigslist 'bout 2.5 years ago.
This morning, my phone was dead. I tried plugging it in but found a blinking orange light. I tried turning it on but it wouldnt turn on. Does this mean there is a problem with my battery?
I've gone on several trips lately where I used my phone as a GPS. I just got a new dash mount for it. On those trips, I had noticed a blinking alternating orange and green light. I thought this meant it was charging and I had a notification, however, now that I do some searching it looks like it means overheating perhaps.
The orange blinking did turn solid after a while and I was able to boot my phone.
Could be a battery issue. If the phone is completely dead, it takes a few minutes on the charger before it can power on. Let it sit for like 5 - 10 minutes on the charger, and when the light goes solid it should be able to be turned on. You may want to invest in a new battery.

This is normal behavior for a completely drained battery. The phone will not turn on until it achieves partial charge (I'm not sure off-hand what %), and it will give you the flashing orange to let you know.
As you observed, once you charge it enough, it will turn on normally and everything is fine again.
As for the blinking you observed during navigation, that could have meant notifications while charging, as you suspected. It's also possible that you were overheating, but if so the phone would have stopped accepting charge and the battery icon would have changed to indicate such.
Thanks, it is working again now. I'll have to keep an eye on the battery life to see if it has really gotten worse.
In the car, I know there was one time where it got really hot. I held it next to the AC vent for a few minutes to cool it down. Also, my charger cable may be going bad. I noticed that eventhough I turn off the screen, sometimes it will randomly come back on. I figure maybe this is the cable getting disconnected and then reconnected.
This happened to me before and it turned out it was my charger not working properly. I even got a message multiple times saying that the charging accessory was not compatible but it was the the stock data cable. The problem turned out to be it didn't have enough voltage or something like that because it kept telling me to connect to a wall rather than through USB, while I was using the A/C adapter.

I'm pretty sure that a blinking orange light during use is a "hot battery" notification. On one trip, I had navigation going, while streaming XM and had the car charger plugged in. When I noticed the blinking orange, the temp was at 119F and really hot to the touch. I immediately stopped navigation and streaming, and unplugged from the charger. Since I had the air on, I removed the phone case and battery door and let the AC blow on the phone which cooled it down and the blinking stopped.

No. It doesn't do that. If you are charging, you get a solid red and no indication of notifications.
The blinking red/green means the battery is too hot and is not charging, as other people have confirmed.
after falling asleep and forgetting to plug my phone into the wall my evo turned off due to low battery, in the morning when trying to plug it in to recharge i find that the little orange light wont go and and neither will my phone. it wont charge or turn on even after being on the charger all day, i have tried different chargers as well... any ideas?
I would try a different battery that you know is charged. That would tell you if phone charger port is broken or phone is bricked (which prob isn't the case)
Did you try hitting that button on the top of the phone? LOL. haha. It is COMMON SENSE THAT THE EVO WILL NOT charge if you let it die all the way. you must take the battery out and charge it.
most likely it got to low for it to even charge. take it to a sprint store so they can jump start your battery.

Are you running froyo? If so, froyo has a charge bug that results in the exact symptoms that you describe.

Similar issues
I have a rooted and lightly modded stock 2.3.6 but I've been having these issues ever since I rooted and I was on stock 2.3.5
1. Charger sometimes doesn't charge at all
2. If I'm on a call via bluetooth and I connect it, it won't charge until I hang up
3. My previous charger for my t959 was working for the 1st week and now it doesn't charge my phone at all.
4. after i plug in my phone to my oem charger it takes about 10 seconds to recognize it and then starts charging
I don't know what the hell this is but it's pissing me off. I've done a wiped dalvik and don't a clean install and nothing changes. I didn't have this problem the 1st week i had the phone but now on my 3rd week it's pissing me off.
I hope someone has an answer or at least a similar problem.
I think it is charging. It just not showing it is charging until your turn on the screen.
Happen to my phone too, but it is charging.
I would love it show the orange light when charging and green light on full charge.

No my phone won't charge! I've tried different chargers and it randomly charges. It's three weeks old and its' weird, now i've connected it to my laptop and the usb isn't even recognized anymore and I have the drivers for it.
Anyone with the same problem?
Been using my Moto 360 for months, no problem. Yesterday I was travelling so I used up more battery before going back to the dock than I usually would. I want to say it was down to maybe 10%. Maybe lower.
Threw it on the charging dock. I see the small blue circle, charging, and I walk away. Come back a few minutes later and the screen was off and white LED on charging dock was off. Couldn't do anything to get the white LED back and show that it was charging. I could pick up the watch and use it, but had very low battery. At some point I think it died, and again, I could never charge it.
Got frustrated, left it off the dock (because I read something on a moto support page about leaving it off the dock for 30 minutes?), and went to bed.
This morning, woke up, and put it on the charger. The white LED came on and the watch booted up. At first it shows charging and even says 13%. How that's possible I don't know, but the white LED wouldn't stay on. It would go off, at which point the regular watchface would show up and also the warning about being below 15%. Then a few seconds later the white LED would come back on and I'd get the charging screen. but that would only last a few seconds, then it would go off, and my watch face would show up. I just watched as it did this and you should see from the times the charging screen did pop up that it was actually draining battery (if you believe I was even at 13% this morning, which I don't). After a few minutes of this, the white LED was off and I can't get it back to charge at all. I'm sitting here this morning just as I did last night: watch won't come on and no white LED light on the dock and what looks like no charging.
What is going on here? Again, ZERO problems until this. Now my battery is so low that it shut off and I'm just leaving it on the dock hoping that somehow it is charging, even though the white LED on the dock is not coming on. I know I shouldnt have let my battery get so low before juicing it up, but that doesn't mean I should be sitting here unable to charge up my watch. I really don't think something all of a sudden yesterday happened to my watch and dock.
Anyone have any ideas here? Im on the road, so no qi plate here to test using a different method to charge it up (I have it at home, but I really wanted my watch to use for this trip!). Don't know anyone with a moto 360 either.
Thank you!!
Try a different USB cable/charging brick combination, they could be bad. If this doesn't work, most likely a bad dock.
Well I tried a different cable, no change. Left it sitting on the dock all day, nothing happened. Came home from going out and the charging/not charging is happening now ( and all of a sudden the watch got juice? Makes no sense to me.). I videoed it. Does this video shed any light on the cause? Thanks! I ask because it's hard to believe the dock is bad after no issues for months now.

I have sent mine to Motorola twice now for the same problem.
They just sent the watch back to me and I don't get the issue anymore, however they have introduce a new problem for my watch where I can't even use tilt to wake anymore...
Fed up with their repair team, just asked them to replace the watch now because either their repair team has no clue how to fix it or that there is some other fault they cannot find.

i have a similar issue. it seems that the craddle connection is not as strong as it used to be. I often times see my watch charge all the way to 100%, and then begin to slowly dwindle down. I have to take the watch off the charger and then place it back in "more securely", and then it would charge again.... anyone else?
i think i figured it out. i had a dual USB wall adapter that both my phone and watch were plugged into. only recently did I get a QI wireless charging pad. it appears that when both devices are charging, the phone took up all of the juice, leaving none for the watch (until the phone reached 100%). when I separated the two into different USB wall plugs, then they both charge up as normal.
hope this helps others.
I'm experiencing this exact same issue right now. I'm leaving it on the dock hoping that it starts to charge at some point. Have you discovered a fix or a possible cause for this issue so far?
I'm having the same issue. Started yesterday afternoon. I have 2 charge cradles and its the same on both so it leads me to believe its not a cradle issue. When I put the watch on the cradle, the charge light will come on for a few seconds and then go back off. After this happens a couple times it just wont come on anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the watch for almost 2 weeks and it never charge full and it loose all its charge in minutes I only used it 2 and it was off charge. Wife wi go home I am tired I like the watch. But I didn't use it I tried everything from the above mentioned proposals but seriously nothing worked I'm from Egypt and I bought online from USA from Nordstrom what should I do
