Hi!
Tonight my phone ran out of battery, and the red light [the one on the speaker] turned on as usual, and the phone was off [strange]. But when i try to connect to the AC, the red led is still turned on, and i cannot turn on my phone
Do you know what's the problem in this case?
[when i disconnect the phone from the AC, the red light disappears, but no rensponse from the phone when i try to turn on.]
Is it a battery problem?
thanks for the help!

Try taking out the battery for a few and letting the phone reset then reinserting the battery and just letting it charge even if the red light is on. I figure if it's plugged in it has to still get power so maybe after some time it will charge.
Hope this helps

Looks like you need to replace your battery my friend. If you have a red light means that your battery is not working properly or not working at all. Try to clean the battery terminals (where the battery makes contact with the phone), sometimes it works. If you still don't see the amber light when you plug the AC, it's time to get a new one. You can find cheap ones on ebay. Good Luck
I had the same problem my problem was the charger, used a usb-pc to charge phone now i have no more problems. Could be a knock off battery cheap battery.

Any idea what's wrong? I plug the phone into my computer with a USB cable, and I've also tried using the wall socket attachment, but all that happens is the phone's battery icon goes from somewhat filled blue (it's currently in the 70s percent-wise) to flashing an empty red battery icon, then back to blue, then red, etc.
What causes this? I didn't have these problems a week ago and I've changed nothing. Is it the battery? Software problem?
Taking the battery out and putting it back in seems to fix it, but I'm wondering if there is an alternative. Maybe the problem is caused by the Battery Indicator app?
Thanks.
Turn phone off charge overnight then
turn it on charge it till blue light comes on.
turn it off let blue light come on
boot into recovery and wipe battery stats

This slashing red icon just happened to me last night too! I will try this now. Thanks.
Note: I am using an extended 3500 mAh battery.
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.
Yesterday when i plugged my phone in to charge, the battery icon turned into a question mark and the led started blinking orange and green. I tried pulling the battery out and rebooting the phone and the battery went back to normal but the led kept blinking. I left it to charge overnight and now I cannot get the phone to turn on at all. I have tried pulling the battery, holding the power button, plugging it in, nothing works. It will not turn on. I am on skyraider zeus if that helps at all.

The blinking LED of orange and green means the battery is overheating.
Try a new battery, battery is possible dead?
What kernel are you running? Stock clock speed and voltage? I would also recommend trying a new battery before anything else.
Sounds like your battery is overheating. Well actually sounds like you overheated it to death. It definately isn't a hardware problem though. Ive done this a couple times. Last summer while waiting for Revolutionary to come out I burned allot of time on Netflix with my phone plugged in, one week later fried battery. Just bring the battery in and they can tell you if it's dead or not

Hello, I was using my phone yesterday while charging, the battery was ~45% and it was working fine at all, then it suddenly turned off and isn't turning on again, only blinking the red led if the power on button is pressed while charging in the wall charger and glowing the red led without blinking if connected to a computer. If the button is not pressed, the phone just stays off. I don't know what to do, in other situations the phone's battery gone to 0% and blinked the red light without the button pressed and came back after some minutes charging, but this time I tried to charge it some times and nothing happened. Somebody knows what to do?
Thanks
Hello there! I had the same issue, I was playing a game and my phone had like 7%, suddenly it turned off.. And wouldn't turn on, and showed the red led.
What I did is to let it charge for 30 minutes or more, maybe 1 hour. And then it'll turn on, if not. Maybe you'll have to remove the battery and reinsert it back in. But for now just let it charge for a long time. It should turn on.

Yeah, it happened before with me, but it didn't came back this time. Took it to LG, they said it was a hardware problem and that it would took ~4 days to give me an answer, thanks for the help anyway.

+1 to this suggestion. I went through that before, and it definitely helps in many cases. But it sounds like the phone is in for repair with LG now, so it's a moot point...
Hi, I changed the battery of z1c, but when I try to charge it, red leds flash and the phone cannot charge and turn on.
What should I do?
Open the phone and connect the battery or change it, it might be a bad one.

I've fixed it by checking the battery connector, a piece inside was folded.
Hey guys, I have the same issue. Is it just the new battery **** or I to do smthg to charge it ? I've only got this red light flashing.
When I put back the old battery it is all OK ant the phone starts and charges correctly. But with the new battery I've only got this red light flashing.
