So I came home from school, and my phone was acting wierd. I pulled the battery, put it back in and it wouldn't turn on. So now I plugged it in, and it's blinking and not turning on. Any ideas why or any fixes? Thanks.
Your battery is depleted...plug it in an let it charge...if it does not charge then your USB module or charger has degraded..USB module found on Google range 10 to 12 bux
One ROM @ a time....VIA ELECTRICITY

It charged. I started it up to see what it did and it's saying "Process system is not responding. Would you like to close it?"
Anyone know the issue?
After I put "wait" on it, i turn the screen off and it won't turn back on unless restart.
*EDIT*
This may very well be the lag of death. Should I wipe and install a stock rom first and see how it goes?
Use superwipe first located in my thread

Used it and reinstalled the ROM. Everything back to normal. Thanks!

Hi,
Yesterday I came across strange issue. In WinMo, when the phone was off it was charging normally untill the battery was fully charged...
After Flashing Android to NAND I can not do that. It seems to be charging (orange LED is on) for about 10 sec. and than the Display blinks with white light and the phone dies completely.
The only thing you can do after that is to pull out the battery and put it back. Than you can turn the phone on and charge as usually.
What is that issues origin? Battery driver? Or another thingie in Firmware? It seems to be quite strange, that it lights the display even with the phone being off...

My Kaiser does the exact same thing, and what it is, is for some reason the phone is booting back up. I came across this the other day, and my phone did the exact same thing described, and not sure what I did, but I managed to turn on the screen and Android was booted up to the lock screen.
It's even done it when I plug the phone into A/C power without the battery even connected.
so here is why it happens, basicly what would happen is in WinMo when the phone would turn off and boot into a charge loop and it would charge and shut off when finished our kernel doesnt have this built into it so it just boots like normal when power is applied

yup... happens to all of us, its not a big deal... there are a lot of worse problems devs are trying to solve... maybe whn they reach a point where the kernel is more stable they should pay attention to the details like this (and the camera driver, camcoder... etc)

Well that answers my question... Yah knew it was something inside the kernel, just didn't know if it was a bug, or something that wasn't implemented yet.
Of course this is low priority task but I just wanted to have that confirmed to know, that my oldie holdie is not broken or what
Quick question:
How old is your kaiser and/or battery ?
About 5 years with original battery

It used to be that if Linux NBH was flashed, the phone wouldn't charge at all when off. Then somebody (dzo I believe) added code to the kernel so that the phone turns on when it is plugged in, so that it will charge. That used to work, with a full complete boot. Now, as you say, the phone tries to wake up but doesn't really make it. Maybe we should look into that, we should be able to fix that, maybe by looking carefully at the git logs for the past six months or so.
There are bigger problems, like data reliability, but if somebody wants a problem in the kernel that they can study and perhaps fix, this is a good one to start with.
To correctly charge the battery system need to be on so i can do this:
start kernel
in initrd:
if it found the power connected then the phone wait for power button (trying the sleep mode)
else
start the system
i need some testing to do it.
Windows do quite the same thing.

If only the real code was as easy as the pseudocode =)
The other morning I woke up and unplugged my phone and the "Unplug your phone" notification wouldn't go away and the phone thought it was still plugged in. If I rebooted it would just turn off and keep going from the green batter charging icon to a black screen and back. Only way I could turn the phone on would be to actually plug it in again. Problem fixed itself that evening and the phone was fine for a couple days. Today the phone started with the same thing.
I've tried searching but couldn't find anything on this specific issue. Any insight? Thanks in advance.
Brand new ept4g and I got 6hrs of battery life its so lame I have hack so much bad luck with this bad boy but I'm not giving up.

I'm having the same problems the last few days. Also when I unplug my phone I get a red exclamation point over my battery widget, when i open the widget it says that the battery is over voltage and the red led light won't go off. Think i'm about to go see what best buy does for me. Been dealing w/ this problem for a few days now.
Did you get a replacement? I haven't had any free time to go to sprint with my problem. It is still happening often though.
I had a similar issue the other morning. Though my phone would only boot back up in recovery mode. I reflashed it to out of the box stock but that didn't make any difference. When it did boot up it would show that it was connected to the usb port but it would not be plugged into anything. I plugged it into a usb port on my computer that I hadn't used with the phone before and it reloaded the drivers on my computer and "that" issue went away. After turning phone off it would start rebooting itself immediately or with in a few seconds of turning off. I let the battery die completely and then recharged it and the automatic reboot went away, at least for most of the day, but last night I turned the phone back off and it rebooted itself. I did reroot and restore my phone after I got it to not show the usb connected or the battery charging while the phone was off icon. Just wish I could figure out why it wants to automatically reboot itself when I shut it off.

My Battery Monitor Widget shows a max of 1500mah? Wtf? And a measured of under 1200?
No wonder my battery life is crazy low...

I figured a way to shut the phone off and not have it automatically reboot. If after shutting the phone off the normal way and once the screen goes black but before the capacitive lights go out, if I again press the power button, the phone finally shuts down without rebooting itself. Not sure why this is happening but at least I can get it to turn off now.
I found better battery life by determining which app or apps drain the battery. I used Battert spy, cpu spy and system tuner. My problem was Touchdown exchange for Androir 2.x. I switched to Moxier Mail. I would get hours on moderate to heavy use. I got 22.5 hours yesterday on moderate use.
I installed the ARHD 7.0.0 ROM on Monday everything was working fine, I also installed the SMooth Rosie MOD and still everything was fine. But today, I lost my phone signal and though oh well i'll leave it whilst I go to the gym, I came back and the bttery ws at 23% (Was at 91% when I left it).
I rebooted the phone and it would get to the lock screen (with no ring) then it would reboot and it constantly done that. I reset everything and formatted everything, I transfered the ARHD 7.0.0 back onto the phone but as I was trying to flash the image, from windows, the battery died, I can't seem to charge it.
All its doing at the moment is flashing the red LED. I tried resetting the LED with power presses in and Vol but it keeps coming back after a few seconds.
I really just need to know how to charge the phone, once its charged I will be able to sort it out. Oh and I can't even turn the phone on at the moment.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like you didnt instal the boot.img
EDIT: put it in the wall charger for 10-15 minutes and dont touch it...
I put it in a wall charger and its stopped blinking. Cheers
Oh and I did install the boot image on Monday, i've been using the phone for two days, then it just lost the signal and then didn't work. Weird!
Thanks again!
Yeah....just pluggin usb charger and leave it for ~1h and U will see, it's charging.
Few days after buying HOX I was on a party with enabled wifi, async, gps ect. Lately this night my phone goes off and I wasn't able to turn it on. At home I plugged in charger but there was no charging led.
Yeah...thougt the new phone was bricked.
With plugged usb I just left it for ~1h and then...TADAA!...charging led!!!
Well tried charging it with the wall charger. At first the light when solid, I returned to it 2 hours later and the light was off. Tried to turn it of and its blinking again, I can't even turn it on Arghh!!
I am having troubles booting my phone after the battery depletes and the phone shuts off. My Optimus G is rooted with lifeless Rom v14 and I have TWRP recovery.
So once the phone dies, I plug it in to charge, and the phone screen automaticaly comes on and the LG logo flashes for a second, but nothing happens. The phone doesn't actually charge. If I remove the phone from the charger, the display still stays on until I hard reset it. I cannot access recovery mode or download mode for some reason. Usually when my phone dies, and I plug it in, it will flash the LG logo, keep the display on for a few seconds, and then shut down and restart and show the battery logo charging. I am not getting that this time, and I can't seem to do anything to get it operating again. There also isn't a red LED light to represent charging either. If anyone has had this issue before or knows how to fix it, I'd really appreciate the information right now.
Thanks

I had the exact same problem last night. (weird) I held down the power button for ~15 sec, and let the phone sit for about 15 min. I booted it and got it to load into TWRP and then put it on the charger. Let it charge in TWRP to around 10% and then booted into android and let it charge overnight. I had a mild panic attack at first but all is good now. Stupid software dependent charging.

Ok, that's definitely weird... I came to XDA because of this, it happened to me 2x and I did the same as you, let it charge in CWM till 12% ( shower time) and reboot the system. I'm not sure what exactly is causing the issue, it shouldn't be a software problem.
To try to find what's going on, lets talk about what we have in common:
ROM: Houston stock international (stock 4.1.1)
Charger: Non LG charger (htc)

Guys,
I've updated my SmartWatch 3 to 5.1 yesterday via OTA
Everything worked fine.
When battery was low, I charged it up from 9% to around 80% (I switched it off though)
It stuck charging at 80% as it was very hot I removed it from charge.
After 2-3 hours I charged again to complete from 80% to 100% even after 1-2 hours of charge It would not charge.
Today morning I did the same I wouldn't charge. I switched on the watch I got android wear logo and it directly switched off.
Now it's not switching on.
Any help I can get?
Yeah same issue here but it is harder than that ...
I installed TWRP on my watch, and when I received the 5.1 OTA, it seems that it did not want to install the update because I was not on recovery stock. Then, my SW3 started to lag, I was not able to install the ZIP via TWRP, and it was superhot, I was unable to boot Android Wear..
That's so ****ed up, man. I can't even know what should I do. xD
I've got the same (or really similar) problem my watch was out of battery, I put it on the charger, it showed normal charging battery icon, then when I tried to turn it on it doesn't show anything, the display is black and when I held down the power button it vibrated once. The problem is that it isn't only display fault because I can't connect to the watch with my mobile phone. Wat do?

edit: Well that was weird, I unplugged it from the charger and put it there again and now the charging icon is back and when I pressed the button it started to boot. Weird.
Me, too.
After OTA today, my watch is dead. Even long press power button can make freeze screen reboot.

Okay guys, here my solution, it worked for me :
If the screen of your SW3 is completly dark:
1) Just let it plug. In fact, the watch is charging, it's just not shown up (I dunno why...)
2) Let it like that for 1 hour, and then unplug it and let it cool down for 10 mn.
3) Install the Sony Companion App on your PC.
4) Keep ressing the power button of your watch til a screen with the watch and USB appears.
5) Plug It to your PC, open the Companion App.
6) Somewhere in the menus, you can resinstall the OS of the watch, RESET it, find the menu.
7) Let your watch restart.
And you're done ! It worked for me, so try.
I left it aside from morning to evening. Didn't even touched it. It completely discharged. So I kept to charge once again and it magically booted up and now working fine. Seems pretty weird. ?

As I read in other post, I can confirm there is some kind of bug when you are charging your SW3, if you turn it on with the usb cable charging and the screen showing the battery %, the smartwatch gets like frozen and doesn't do anything.. In case you have this problem, you should wait until the battery goes to 0%, start charging your sw3 BUT when you are going to turn it on again first unplug the usb cable and wait until the battery % display dissapears.. I did it after I read it in other post in XDA (I don't have the link here.. I was searchig for it on another computer) and worked for me.
I hope it works for all.. sorry if my English it's not perfect hehe
