[Q] 100% Drained Lumia 900 Battery Will Not ReCharge

Yesterday I let my Lumia battery drain 100%, disregarding the warning that it was critically low. Eventually the screen no longer accepted touch gestures and it shutdown.
I plugged it into the wall charger and it now continuously boots, keys light up, white screen comes on and the charging battery (red) is displayed. A couple of minutes later it goes black, the Nokia logo comes up, then it sits on the At&t splash screen for 5 minutes and reboots. It has been doing this non-stop all night.
I have tried different chargers and even connected to my laptop. no luck.
I noticed on Nokia's site, people have been having this problem too, even with the 800. There is a few suggestions, but no solution.

Has anyone let their phone battery drain 100% and got it to charge back up?
Anyone having this same problem?

I let my drain completely the other day and it charged back up just fine. Make sure you're using the supplied wall charger - it's actually rated at a higher amperage than most wall charges, 750 mA vs. 500 mA for most chargers.

This happened to me the first day I hot the phone and was able to charge and turn and turn back on with no problems.

have you just let it sit for awhile...I mean more than 45 seconds? You drained the battery. You plugged it in. The default action on Windows Phone is to start when plugged into a power source. Obviously its not charged enough to sustain that action. Let it go at least 20 minutes....if not more. Some people here have mentioned it took 2 hrs for it successfully complete that cycle. And by all means, use the supplied charger, or, at least one that pumps out an equiv charge. Alot of those Amazon $1.99 specials, simply do not.

My Nokia Round wall plug actually was not working when I first got it, so I've been using my Blackberry and other usb's to charge, including just a usb to my Dell XPS 15 laptop.
Nokia is 5v 1A
Blackberry is 5v 700mA
Jawbone is 5v 550mA
Motorola Car Charger is 5v 950mA (I spend an hour in my car and same looping)
I have a replacement device coming either today or tomorrow because of the charger problem. Hopefully the new one will be able to charge this one so I can get my media off it.

Yes, it has happened before (there is a thread here) and I did witness my co-worker's phone went through the same thing. Unfortunately, for both cases, the only solution is get a replacement phone. In my co-worker's case, he used the Nokia charger charged it for many many hours to no avail.
So the bottom line is NEVER let your battery drain completely. You may ended up with a dead phone.

Same Issue
My phone has the same issue. It can literally cycle from glow screen to battery icon screen to reboot for more than an hour. It happens with the supplied charger as well as my Samsung Focus charger. I find that I can hold the power button down after it has charged for a few minutes and it breaks the cycle and reboots properly.

Well I got my replacement Lumia 900 today. The wall charger is recognized by my old Lumia, however it is still doing the boot up loop and it hangs on the At&t screen when plugged in.
I will let it go for a few hours and see if anything happens. If nothing, I will try to do a hard reset and wipe all my data and see.

I'm not sure that the labeling on the Nokia charger is accurate. I'm sure it is with regards to testing, but in practice my 900 will not charge at a rate higher than 650ma when plugged into that charger, however when plugged into my 2A touchpad charger it charges at rates of 850-900ma. Perhaps get yourself an aftermarket iPad charger, I think those have pretty high amperage and see what you get then.

You have hte keystroke combo for reset??? Should be done from a power off postion. Hopefully the charge is not too low to do this...

I have tried various key combos to reset, while in fully off and while on the logo and battery screens. After I hold for +20 sec and let go, it vibrates then tries to start up. None of these fixes anything. I am using Volume Down and Power Button.
So I left it on the replacement Lumia's charger overnight and it still sits on the at&t screen during boot. I also put it on a Apple iPhone charger, which it 5v 1A, and it eventually drained all the way to where only the keys would light up.
The one thing I noticed, is that the lumia responded differently to each charger. Some would get it to the batter screen, then reboot. Some would get it to the at&t screen, then reboot.
I tested the output of each charger by using the Nokia Diagnostics tool with my new Lumia. Most were 4.020~ volts and 200-400 mA, including the Apple charger.
The Lumia 900 charger rated around 4.020~ volts and 500-700 mA.
I have a Onda Android tablet charger that was 5.2v 1A, but rated at 4.065 volts and 700mA. That didn't work either.
...And now with my replacement lumia, I no longer have the loud rattle, but I do have the purple hue everyone is talking about. btw, the new one had the green dot on the box.

Try, from an off position, Vol Down +Camera...keep these down. Press power until the vibrate, then release. Keep the other 2 buttons down. Whenthe Nokia screenappears, you can release all buttons.
Works every time....queston is...do you have enough charge to allow this to occur.
There is a thread here on the button combo's. I started it, but there is alot of good feedback in the thread.

Sounds like OP's Lumia behaves exactly like my co-worker's. No button combo will work to reset the phone.

button combo is not the only thing important. Its sequence and starting postion.
If the phone is on, turn it off. If its frozen, hold the power button until it turns off...about 10 seconds or so.
Once off, then the combination Vol Down+ Camera. Hold these until told to release.
Touch the power button to turn on...release at the vibrations...
Continuing to hold the Vol Down+Camera, wait until the Nokia screen. Then you can release. You'll be put through the setup sequence again.
Works every time, like a charm, but, the phone must be off.

Yeah we did exactly that. Doesn't help. It doesn't work for every phone. Just like some L900s can be charged up and boot normally. Some can never recover. The manufacturing quality of Lumia 900 with so many variations of bugs should put Nokia in shame. I personally have to exchange mine because of the random capacity button issue.
So that is 2 for 2 in my own observations.

Well I must say adieu to this phone and my pictures. Nothing seemed to work, so I sent it back.
Holding Power and the Camera button got me to the "download mode", Zune opened, and I then tried to restore to previous version, however it decided to reboot 30% into the process. Most likely due to it not having enough charge.
I got my SkyDrive set up on the new device. So no more losing any data if something fails again.

i would have to agree with the guy that posted second the phone is rated for a higher powered charger. but i would try looking at the specs of the wall charger amps and watts see if thats correct for the phone and if thats true try looking into the usb port on the phone for dust and lint. maybe even try another battery

The wall charger is 5v 1 amp... nothing special there. My HTC chargers all handled that and were easily more.

Creepy,
Same thing happened to me.
Using phone, the battery was ultra low, figured I'd plug it in when it started to complain, but never received any messages. The phone just turned off.
Plugged it in:
1) 5 minutes, screen didn't come on
2) Out nowhere, backlight turns on for a minute
3) backlight turns off for 4 minutes
4) I unplug it, as I do it vibrates and backlight turns on
5) plug it back in, backlight turns off
6) 5 minutes later, battery image shows up on screen in red, disapeers after a minute
7) Phone sat for 5 minutes doing nothing, I unplug and plug back in, it turns on, goes to the battery on screen again for 10 minutes.
8) Finally Windows Phone starts up, it starts presenting battery errors (even though it's plugged in). Finally after 60 seconds it makes the plugging in sound, and starts charging.
I google'd and found this thread! Weird!
Another thing I noticed, is even when battery is fine, and you plug it in there's a delay before device recognizes it. Seems like there's something going on between hardware and software, just like the delay with the touchscreen (which is aggravating)...
Any word on this?

24 hours after software update, my HTC One X won't switch on or charge.

My HOX updated on friday morning, and now, saturday morning it's dead. Won't turn on, is connected to the charger, but it's not showing the charging light. Is it knackered?
What's going on?
I beleive it was updated to 1.29.401.7

Not sure if it's going to help and I no it sounds obvious but, with it plugged in the charger, try holding down the power button for 10-15 secs. Also, try this without it in the charger.

it happens sometimes also on older HTC's. wait until it will turn on. most of the times it will turn on.
if not, try holding power + 2 volume keys all together. maybe it will turn on.

I have exactly the same issue, I've tried holding the power button for 15 sec and also while holding down each and both of the volume keys. Nothing seems to work.

I had a similar problem few days ago , just put the charger in and wait for ~10 min then it should turn on ( at least that's how i got it to work )

Just got home and it's charged for 24 hours now. No lights, nothing. Tried all the above.
Meh.

Happened to me also but when running bricked kernel.
If your not running the stock kernel you need to put the phone on the charger and just wait untill the red led starts to blink ( it can take 5mins for this to happen )
Then allow it to blink for a few mins then power on as normal and remove the charger.
It will boot and moan it has no charge so plug the charger back in once its booted fully, then leave it to charge.
once at 100% reboot and bam your back up and running as normal.

I scored a brand new one x from a friend who had upgraded their contract but didn't want the phone. Awesome I thought.....
Plugged it in to charge, charge light came on, battery indicator showed it was charging but after 24hrs on the charger it only went to 16% battery. The next day tried again and the same result. would only charge to about 15% battery after 6hrs on the charger (this was what it was at when I plugged it in to begin with)
End result is a brand new phone that had never been used will not charge straight out of the box. Has been sent in to be repaired but not too sure if that is what should happen when clearly it was DOA. I'd much prefer it was replaced but will see what happens when I eventually get it back.
Does anyone know of a solution or others that have had this problem??

I had this problem the other day, the battery died before i went to bed, so i plugged it in over night and nothing happened, thought it was the charger, tried a different htc charger and nothing again. So i plugged it into my computer and a few minutes later the light started to flash. I let it flash for a few minutes and unplugged it from the computer and plugged it into a charger and turned it on and it charged up.
Long story short, plug it into your computer for a while then turn it on and charge it normally.

That doesn't work for me, I've tried all of the above and nothing works.

Mine came back to life after 24 hours on the charger, and then I did the soft reset described in the posts above.
In the meantime I just received this from HTC. Might be handy for some people.
Dear Richard Baldwin,
Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your HTC One X.
My name is Jonathan and I am a Technical Support Agent for the HTC Written Team.
I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with the device not being able to turn on.
In order to resolve this I would advise that you long press the power key. Please hold the power button for approximately 30 seconds. This has the effect of a soft reset, which would normally be to remove the battery from the device, and will resolve minor software issues.
If that does not work I would recommend that you try to perform a factory reset via the hardware. Before you start the hard reset process you need to be aware that all of your personal data will be wiped from the phone. (Except for data stored on the SD Card or online services.) If you need assistance on how to back up your data please let me know.
To restore the phone to factory settings:
1. With the phone turned off, long press the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press POWER.
4. When asked to confirm, press VOLUME UP.
If the factory reset does not resolve the issue I would recommend that you return the device to the retailer, for an exchange.
Should you require additional support please reply using the link below and confirm the following details.
Full Name:
Address:
Contact Numbers:
IMEI (Found by dialling *#06# from your keypad or in the back of your phone):
To let me know I have successfully answered your query, please follow the link below to close your enquiry, you will have the opportunity to leave feedback about your experience contacting me today.

Mine didn't come back to life, I've had to send it back to HTC for repair.

Mine crapped out today. It won't start, it won't charge. I'll send it in for repairs, but I hope there won't be problems because of the bootloader unlock... The replacement will have to do without root

Hi guys,
Just an idea. I had this issue with mine on the old recovery. Usb charge from pc for 30 mins let me boot then i could charge from mains. it was an issue with the initial recovery that ment it couldnt be charged while off. Just an idea...........

Phone came back from HTC. They had to replace the mainboard and the battery. WTF happened after the unlock/root? Could it have been a coincidence?
Anyway, I'm staying with the stock software and I'm waiting for my tablet for all the weird mods I wanted

Lumia 900 white screen of death?

I was just using my lumia 900 this morning and out of nowhere the phone just froze up in the lockscreen.
I then turned it off by pressing the power button for a few minutes and now when I try to turn it on it gets stuck at a while screen. I know it is fully charged up and since I took it off the plug only like 1 hour before.
Any ideas? I just got this lumia off a shop at the mall a week ago..
Funny thing is that I also received an unlock code today for this lumia a few hours later. This really suck as I was excited to use it on my tmobile network.

Since you've only had it for a short time, there hopefully won't be a lot of data on it. I've seen this same behaviour on other units (HTC Radar) when memory got full.
I'd suggest a hard reset as the next step.

I have already tried doing a hard reset. Nothing changes. I'll try to run the battery out now.

I can give you a really good advice: try to complain to retailer and return an (obsolete) bug-handset. If you bought that stuff from Amazon Wireless, you (probably) have a good chance to get your money back (including activation fees) and start to shop new handsets for discount price (with 2 year contract extension). At least I've got that "offer" from Amazon Wireless a few month ago (I bought my Lumia 900 at May 1-st).
So, iPhone 5 is on sale now; and it's a really good "baby" (tested and played today)

Make sure the phone is unplugged when you turn it on. My Lumia 900 doesn't like to turn on when it is plugged in. It enters a loop. I have to unplug it. Turn it off. Wait a couple of seconds. Turn it back on. When it is pretty much finished with booting up I then plug it in again.

My Lumia did the same thing but is stuck in a boot loop, it goes from white screen to the Nokia logo the back the white screen. I've called AT&T and they said that they don't have anymore 900'a and sent me a Motorola Atrix HD instead and man do I miss my Lumia.

htc one x red light flashing and phone won't start

I have bought a htc one X a day ago, which was imported from some eastern country. The phone ran well for an hour or something.. and after that, it just dropped dead. The battery was about 60% when it dropped dead. And when I charge, the red light keeps on blinking. It won't turn on, or the red light will not be stable.
When i try to boot into bootloader, the phone does go into bootlader. But I have to keep my charging plug on. If i remove even for a second. the phones switches off again.
I can't go to warranty as this is a replacement. Some guidence will be appreciated. Thank you.

1. Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
2. With the device truly OFF (NOT ON STANDBY) , push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button And HOLD for 2 minutes and let go once 2 Minutes has passed.
Doing this will calibrate the Circuit within the battery charging system.

If the phone doesn't power on & If the red led doesn't turn on while charging your phone then you should take it to service centre.. Might be a problem in battery or the motherboard

There is a batch file running about that helps charge from boot loader.
On phone so can't find it currently.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm currently in this situation myself. I read the thread suggested here, but it helps very little if you can't even get to fastboot. For what it's worth, I do have a custom recovery, but a stock image. And the mother board is okay - I've swapped in a different battery and that seems to work, but I do want to get my original battery to work...

guys i have a solution i guess .. put your phone connected to laptop or computer for several minutes dont remove . it might take sometime and afterwards you will listen the usb connecting voice and the blinking will stop and will be stable and then you can turn on the mobile

If you have a flashing power light
This is when your device has overheated and wont let you start up your OS.
Plug your phone in for afew minutes then hold down the power, volume up and down buttons at the same time untill a white developers screen comes up, disconnected your device from cable and click on recover and leave for a minute then plug you power lead back in and leave again. When you come back to you phone it the LED should be a solid color and you can then boot your device.
Any problems Message me, any time.
Thanks

If the above tips don't work for you, you can try and use another, more powerfull, charger. It worked for me.

Thanks Mate !

And then?
After doing reset\calibration of battery circuit we put phone on the wall charger and wait until green LED.
Right?

Edit: wrong section, sorry

In most cases, must to change the cable or adapter, or both. I had the same problem twice.

[Q] Flashed ROM, worked perfectly, won't turn on now

So I ended up flashing CM12 located in one of the other threads to play around with 5.0. It worked perfectly, no problems to be found or anything. However at one point, I went to grab it and play a game, the screen refused to turn on. I tried the Power + Vol. up trick and it still didn't do anything. Concerned (as I was toying around with a resolution app to pump it to 1600x900 res) I continued to try to force reboot it, and tried the Power + Vol. down trick to get into recovery. I plugged it into my computer to see if I can use ADB to force it to reboot and I get an error: no device found. So now I'm stuck waiting for the power to drain completely but it's been close to 24 hours and it still doesnt work. However my computer dings immediately as soon as I plug it in so it sounds like it's still alive (however there's no charging light on). How boned am I? Anything else I can try?

I think there are 2 other cases exactly like yours, that makes me not want to use CM12.
Wait for the device to die, then try if adb recognizes it, or if you can get into recovery.

ok, I'll continue waiting, thanks for the info. I'll go ahead and flash CM11 and use that for awhile until HTC pushes their 5.0 out or if problems are fixed. Hopefully it won't take too much longer for the device to die...

2 days later, nothing, opened it up and removed the battery (was surprisingly a joke to do it too), plugged it back in, again nothing, plugged it into PC and the usual ding can be heard from the PC (But no charging light). Guess it's dead. If anyone else figures anything out, feel free to lemme know, back to the old broken screen Reverb for now.

Unplug the battery, and then plug the phone into the charger with the battery out. Then after 10-15 minutes, plug the battery back in without unplugging the phone. Then just let the phone charge for a few hours. That has worked for me on other phones several times.

Unfortunately it didn't work, literally nothing changed. Slight ringing noise from under the heatsink though when plugged in. Guessing it's fubar?

If theres still no charging lite? Possibly. You could try to charge the battery with a split charger. However thats last resort and can break your battery if it doesn't work.

Or you could use your manufacturers warranty and send that baby back in for a fresh one. Claim a defect... Why? Because it is a defect. If you can't get it to boot with adb / rooted methods then their stock methods won't work nor detect anything. Besides, the worse they'll do is send your phone back the same way it got to them.
Also, if the others who ran into this issue could give feedback on if they modified screen resolution before the device kicked on CM12 that would be most informative.

a bit of a necro, but a headup/final question.
Amazon gave me a full refund (took awhile) and getting a new Desire. However I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue? I REALLY want to keep using Android 5.0 but I'm slightly worried about if it was just bad luck with 5.0, an actual issue with 5.0, or me screwing it up myself with changing my resolution (I don't think I even touched my DPI)(Virgin Mobile US Desire 816).

A ROM can't fry your phone like this, so you have nothing to worry about. The issue with your last phone wasn't because of CM12.

So either I screwed something up or it was a screwed up phone in the first place (I'm inclined to believe this as it was frequently getting into a locked state where I'd have to force reboot it via the vol/power buttons). Guess I'll go for it, thanks!
