I am riding in a car right now and was tethering 3G to my laptop with the screen set to never turn off. I was watching HULU on my laptop. About 30 minutes later of tethering, I lost my internet connection on my laptop. I look at my Evo and the LED is blinking amber orange. I tried to turn it back on but it wouldn't turn on. I had the phone plugged into my computer charge only but I was wirelessly tethering because for some reason the USB tether wasn't working. I know it isn't a problem with the charger because I have my regular DC car charger right next to me and I still have the same problem. Is it possible that I completely killed the battery by tethering for so long and having the screen on the whole time?(battery was at about 25% when I first started tethering. Phone felt pretty hot as well.
What you just described is simply overheating. The phone will shut off to protect itself.

I was using my EVO (rooted to Warm ROM) as a GPS today driving down to NYC. The battery wasn't completely dead yet and I was using a car charger to the phone. All of a sudden, the phone just reset! I had no clue why. I used my brother's EVO for GPS and after a little while, his started to reset as well! Has this happened to anyone else with the EVO resetting for no reason after using a car charger? Even after it was shut off, I kept it plugged in and it wouldn't charge (no amber led light). When I got home, it wouldn't charge with the wall charger either. I only solved it by directly charging the battery with a cradle charger for a few minutes to give it some juice and then the phone turned on and i was able to charge it. I was just wondering why this happened and how to prevent it?
I'm wondering if it was the car charger or the car's port or w/e but i don't think the port had a problem cuz i used an actual GPS unit and plugged it and it charged fine...
what i think happened to you was your battery overheat, which will cause the phone to reboot, some rom and kernel combinations will get hot when using nav app or 4g specially while charging, and once your battery get hot enough it wont charge its a fail safe, sometime they get damaged too
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.
Ok so everytime i turn my phone off to chager it will just turn back on. IT doesn't matter what percentage the battery is on
For Example:
1)the phone is on currently charging (44%) and i turn it OFF (with the charger still plug) it will just turn back on
2)My phone is off and i plug the changer it will just turn on
3)I let my phone die and i plug the charger on it will just turn back on

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?
Hi Guys,
I know there's a lot of threads about that Problem but Im really afraid of it.
I charged my SW3 to 99% while its ON. After that I turned it off to see if it charges till 100%. After this the surprise.. I turned it off while the charger was in or something it vibrated one time and turned off. I tried to turn it back on and no response even not a Vibration with / without charger. I left it for now without the charger to cool down but it's still not showing any sign of life even No Vibration with / without charger I just bought it from Amazon before two days and was charging it with a Samsung Galaxy plus one charger and when it was on it charged normal
I would appreciate every help Thanks !!
I finally fixed it it made me crazy... Even it was at 99% the battery drained very fast after an hour. So I did use the stock usb cable plugged it into the Sony Smartwatch 3 and connected it with the computer while its off. I wanted to reach 1% to turn it on. After I turned it on I used a normal charger to charge the Sony sw3. Now it's charging.
This is a very weird bug. What weve learned never ever charge your SW3 while its off and you try to turn it on. It will come into a black Screen loop.
Solution finally: Don't charge your SW3 until it's cooled down and fully drained in about 2 1/2 hours. First use your usb cable and Plug it in into the computer and Connect it with the SW3 while its off and charge it to 1?. Then Plug the cable out and turn your SW3 on and when its on you can start to use a normal charger.
Hope this helps...
It's creepy but totally real. It worked to me. I was change the usb source charge immediately after logo of smartwatch, and now it is working properly. Thanks for tip.
if my lg g7 has more than 5% and is charging turned off, it turns automatically on.
can I change it?
at the moment I actually need to charge it off.
briefing: I have a faulty charging dock but been using my wireless charger.
It started with that chronic slow charging problem, evolved to the "remove debris or humidity" and eventually it stopped charging.
since it was slow charging, i've tried cleaning it with several products. it never worked.
I believe the problem is not on the outer part of the port anymore.
Since yesterday, my phone gives me the "phone plugged on pc, select what to do" push notification while no cable is plugged in which in itself is not a problem... But it prevents the phone from charging when I place it on the wireless charger!
I first thought about somehow turning off the "phone plugged on pc" push note, but whenever I select an option and mark it as "always use this option" in just one or two seconds, the faulty port clicks again and the notification comes back.
second, I thought about turning it off to charge it but it just doesn't keep off if it has more than 5% battery.
Can anyone please help me to either:
change this "if battery has more than 5% and is charging, turn phone on" config
or
to keep it off while charging
thanks in advance!
