Recently rooted and installed AOKP on my KF. I went out of town and left it at home, not on the charger, for a couple of days. Came home to this screen and it won't let me do anything. I've even left it on the charger and it does nothing. Any ideas?

plug it into the stock wallcharger and let it charge overnight
The current version of the FireFireFire bootloader (what you see on the screen) will delay the boot process if the battery is too low. This is because the system software is likely to shutdown anyway after boot when it detects the low battery.

You actually need to leave the device connected to a low amp power source like a computer's USB port for FFF to enter this charging state. It will bypass the low battery charge if you connect it to a wall charger.
Turn off the KF, connect it to your computer. It will try to turn on and go into charging mode. It won't turn on the backlight, but you will see that the power button has a dim amber light. Just leave it alone for a while (half an hour to an hour) and when it has enough power, it will get out of charging mode and continue booting. When it's able to boot and stay booted into the system, you can connect your wall charger and continue charging the battery.

Hello, as the title suggests , my HTC One X is using more power than the charger can provide, even when idle.
When the phone is on, it doesn't charge unless the screen is off, and even then it is very slowly. Almost we whenever I turn the screen on it starts to discharge when plugged in. I am using the standard 1000mah charger.
It only used to do that when I was playing 3d games (only the highest).
I am using ARHD 7.1.0 and faux 004b6.
Please help, this is hard to live with
After I wiped battery stats and had it on for about 10 minutes (started on 5%).

Mine did this when I was charging on the computer via USB but I think it was due to the fact USB is only 500mA i think and the cable I had was like 2 meters in lenght so wasnt expecting much. Are you using the USB you got with it?

Use the original cable and see what happens, most 2m cables are very inefficient.

When you play a fairly intensive game like minecraft and try to charge it then yes it will take longer to charge. For the quickest charging time use the official plug and cable and have the phone turned off.
Looks like it was the cable, the metal inside had gone all black I don't know why. Thanks for the help.
Okay, so first of all it's not my kindle, it's my mothers. I'm like the "tech guy" in my house. We have had our Kindle Fire for about 1 or 2 years, and today we tried to turn it on and it failed. We tried pushing the power button, holding it down, etc. It turned on after a few tries, but I am concerned it may not continue to "be good." any idea why it did this, or how to keep it from doing this in the future? the device is NOT rooted.
As an effort to assist you, have you tried to recharge the device, like over night .

If so what is the current status?
I have a Kindle Fire here too that a family dropped off to see if I could fix it. The battery is dead and I tried the holding power button down for 30 seconds trick and nothing happened. I opened up the back and took the motherboard out and everything seems fine. I put it back together and tried plugging it into the USB power ports on my wall outlet. When power is applied a green light lights up. When I plug in the Fire, the light is steady for half a second and then flickers on and off many times a second. I don't understand what is failing inside the Kindle to cut the power off so many times a second.
Any ideas? The motherboard looks fine. No corrosion on the USB input for the Fire. Solder joints look fine. Disconnected the battery and put it back in. I'm thinking either the USB has cracks that I can't see without a magnifying glass or the battery is bad. Can a battery get so discharged that it won't charge back up?
I'm considering jump starting the battery directly, I've done something similar on my old galaxy nexus.
Any input is appreciated!

I wanted to add that the green power light on the Fire will not come on at all, and the green light I was talking about on the post above is on my USB wall outlet.
Thanks again

any luck fixing it? it just happened to me.
When I use GPS and want to charge from car charger, phone drops battery percentage, little slower then without a charger, but still dropping. So I thought that the charger is not strong enough, and bought another one with 3.1A, little better but still dropping. Then I try with home charger and no dropping, the GPS is working and battery is charging!
Is that normal, that the car charger can not charge the battery when the phone is in heavy use? The home charger have only 1A, and car 3.1A.
Try NOT using an original HTC cable but instead a generic cable.
I recently purchased an external battery pack to charge my phone while on the move, I thought it would be best to use an original HTC cable but found it was charging to slow, when I checked in settings- power it stated at the top that it wasn't Charging as AC.
I suggest you go to your car and plug in your phone
Then go to: settings - power, check if your phone is charging as AC, if not you'll need to try with another cable ( check screenshot)

I don't use original cable anyway, have other cable in car. Check it and it say AC.
Adapter is this one:
That's really strange mate, I don't have this issue, is there any possibility of trying a different car charger & or cable?, maybe a friend's just to eliminate it as a possibility.
I tried today different things, original htc charger and cable, different charger and cable, and all of that in different car...
The best was with original htc charger and non-original cable. Phone start charging and i think that was that, BUT...
After approximately half an hour, start discharging again, and i think that i accidentally move the cable, but the red charging led was glowing. When checked in power settings, there say "discharging". I disconnect the charger and connect again, start charging but after a minute it stop. Some overheating, maybe?
It sounds like that could be the problem (over heating) maybe you should try a different kernel and undervolt a little to see if it will help.
Ok, I can try, I'm currently on Lyapota's 023 kernel and Viper X 4.1.1, everything else working very well.
I use #017 pre aroma and it runs very cool
Yes, lot's of people says that this version is the best, I would try it.
So, you try to use gps and the phone charging ok with Lyapota 017? Which rom you use?
I have not had any problem using GPS and charging, I use the lates t MaximusHD.
Ok, thanks, will try with 017 and report back.
Edit:
I didn't know that this is a very common problem, that the cable is the one who can't supply enough current. I found many articles about this problem, and found something very interesting on Youtube. Will try this tomorrow and report if it works.

I got the OTA update for my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 to Android 6.0.1. Ever since installing it I've been having USB issues from not charging and not being detected in Windows 10. Whenever I plug an USB cable it shows the battery icon with a red X, no matter what cable or charger I use. It also does this in Windows. I installed the Samsung drivers and neither Odin or Kies can detect it. Device Manger doesn't show any unknown device or the tablet. The only way I can charge it now is to turn it off and leave it overnight. This gets maybe 6-8% charge. I've also tried factory reset, but same issue. Is this tablet pretty much done for now?
In the Developer Options menu, tick 'USB Debugging'
If you have not been able to charge to 100% even though you have tried a number of cables and chargers then it looks like you battery has gone bad.
A battery can just die just by going to low, it might have been weak and this was the straw that broke it`s back, I found my T800 battery dead the other week it would not turn on, a bad app had drained it overnight, luckily i charged to 100% and it seems to be fine.
You can get replacement battery`s on eBay for like $10 and tool kits for like $4 and there are lots of youtube video`s on how to replace the battery it looks easy.
I already have my replacement battery and tool kit ready for when my battery goes bad as they all do eventually and i love my 10.5" too much for a dead battery to stop me using it for long.
Here`s my Kit, I have posted this photo a few times.

John.
Have you tried a completely different computer? I have had issues frequently in the past with this device but a different computer always recognized it.
On another note, that red X is normal.
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/skp/faq/1064881
I tried the methods above minus opening it. I left it plugged into my PC for half a week and came back to it. Randomly decided to start working as if none of this ever happened. When I turned it back on it was still stuck at 34%, but it now showed a charging icon instead of a red X. I've been using it on all different chargers so far and no issues.
Hello,
I have several Tab Pro's that are all having the same problem. I have charged the devices to 100% then when it sits for a few days it will not turn back on. I have plugged it back in and it show 0%.
This is what i have done to try and find the issue...
1. I have reset all cables
2.Tried different batteries (USED)
3.Re-Rom with ODIN and Factory reset
4.Checked the pins on battery terminal for bad solder contacts
5.Waiting on new batteries
Now the interesting part. I charged 2 devices to 100% then disconnected the battery from the Logic board so I could check to see if the battery is discharging on its own. After 3 days I reconnected the battery terminal and tried to turn it back on. They will not power on, then I plug in the charger and battery icon shows up with 100% and then I'm able to turn it back on. Any ideas what the issues with these are I have about 8 of them all doing the same thing?
Thank you,
The battery doesn't discharge on its own so fast like your description. I have a Tab Pro 12.2 , which is off almost 3 months, when turns on it still keep the charge at 99%

The problem is from the cracked battery connector, it will cause intermittent connection. Trust me, remove the back cover, use your hand to press directly on the battery connector while turning it on, it might work depending how bad the crack is. All you need is resolder the battery connector.

I have tried to resolder a few of them and they still do not turn on or they discharge the battery. I have a few that I charged the batteries up to 100% and disconnected them from the battery terminal on the logic board over the weekend. They all still do not turn on, then I connect the charger and the battery icon shows up with 100% then I can turn it on. I have tried what you said and pushed on the terminals on all of the ones I have and not one will turn on. I'm starting to think there is a issue with the power management chip on the board. Has anyone tried to replace any of these?
I have had issues with SM-t/p900 12.2 pros that had the issues you are talking about, not charging, flickering screen, and the terminals needed to be resoldered. I could actually push the pins up and down. The SM-t520 pins are solid and do not move.
