Happened to me also 2 days ago maybe because i didnt connect the charger well.It took me 4+ hours to charge at 80% . I disconnected it and i saw that it wasnt tight enough then i connected the charger again but led was still low red while i was charging the rest 20% not big deal i thought.Today when i charged it the led was fine.

I have just taken delivery of my second replacement MDAC3, and it looks like this one might have a problem too!
When I first switched it on, it got as far as the green wm6 screen then the led flashed red a couple of times and the unit switched itself off. I plugged a usb lead in, the orange charging led came on but only for 5 seconds and then started flashing. It did this for a bit then it started flashing green.
To cut a long story short(er) it seems that the phone will not charge the battery unless it is switched off, and even then it gets to 96% and stops and shows the green led
Question: does this sound like the symptoms of a duff battery, or a duff phone?
As the battery seems to have discharged itself in the 2-3 weeks that the phone has been away

Default Blinking amber
I have the same problem on my htc p3300, and when i used batti 2.4 i saw that the battery temperature is 432675.5 etc something fake temerature. This is the reason, why my pda unable to charge my battery. If you set your pda in bootloader mode, it will charge your battery!. After 3 or more times i charged it in bootloader mode somethimes the battery temp sensor works normally, and the charge is working as well. Sometimes not.
But you can charge your battery allways in bootloader mode.
Sorry for my English.
Try it!
Good luck!
...

charge untill full.. while device is turned off..
dont turn it on untill its fully charged..

good luck

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.
Its second time i have the notify red light blinking when i put the phone to charge and when is in this state he dont turn On, anyone knows why have this issue?
usually, if it is overheating i.e above 48 degrees Celsius, battery won't charge and the phone will blink red then green.
if that's what's happening, just wait for the phone to cool a little bit and stop using it. it will do the trick

Over heating light flashes red and green, just red is something else I've never had it.

Mine have a red turned on continuously (no blinking) when I connect it charger and then turns green once charged.. never had it bilinking while charging.. not sure if its broken though..
When my battery drained completely (the phone would not turn on at all) I had to put it on USB charging for a few minutes, then the red light started bliking for a while and then it turned on and started charging.
I think it's some kind of error, depends on what it does except blinking...
so I have had this phone for almost 2 months ...
last night I plugged it in as I always do .. it did vibrate like it always does however this morning
I went to turn it on and it was as if the battery did not even exist..
No battery charging screen... no lights well at 1st glance there wasn't but closer examination
in a very darkened area shows a very faint and I mean very faint glow of blue...
could the battery be toasted in less than 2 months time ??

Are you on ICS? I had similar issues, but flashed back to GB (stock el29 rooted) and everything worked again. I had an extra battery, though.
Yes on ics ... it ended up being a short in the usb charger which apparently also caused a cascading fail of the phone .. very odd i know

As my HOX was charging, via a USB cable to plug, the screen started flickering slightly and the phone shut itself down. The phone was 10% charged. Now when I try to charge it the LED flashes red and green and doesn't seem to charge. I've read that this could be due to overheating so I left my phone untouched for a couple of hours but it's still flashing red and green/green. Something feels seriously wrong.
Is there something I can do to fix this?
When the problem started the phone was quite warm but nowhere near as hot as it has been, and I wasn't using it that much.
The only thing different today was that I was using a plug that I don't normally use, the cable I have used before.
Any ideas?
How much does a battery replacement cost?
Thanks
Chris

Don't you have the charger and cable it came with? Try another charger that can supply at least 1 amp and try a different cable.
The only time I've had this is when it's overheated.

Charged to 28% but then shut down after light usage
Ok I've managed to get it charging up to 28%. Then I stopped charging it and started using it to do some light Internet browsing, but after about 15 minutes it suddenly shut itself down even though it wasn't hot and had plenty of battery. What's going on?
You might have damaged the battery using a non standard plug. It might be more than the phone can handle

I always had the impression that the USB plugs were all standardised and acted the same?
Can charge it to 60% but turns off after heavy usage
OK I've managed to get this battery to charge up to 60%. It won't go any higher than that. I was using today quite heavily for about 30 minutes and it got quite hot and turned itself off.
Will replacing the battery sort this problem out or is there something else wrong?
Thanks
Chris
I'd be surprised if it was the battery, I'd try a factory reset, anb if that doesn't work, an RUU.
