Ok, so I was transferring some files from the phone to the PC with the USB cable and the phone turned off because I forgot that it was at low battery. When I charged it for 15-20 minutes, I turned it on but it turned off after the Google logo. I thought that it wasn't charged enough so I left it charging for some time but the result was the same. I'm running the latest Paranoid Android and leanKernel. I can enter recovery without problem.

Hi,
I've had my Galaxy Nexus 1 hour - didn't bother charging it as I wanted to play and set it up [like I did with every other mobile].
Plugged it into my USB port and my PC recognised it - then 20 seconds later the screen went blank and I've not been able to boot it since...
I've plugged it into the mains and removed battery and tried to reboot - no luck.
What's wrong?
how long did you discharge it for???
if you ran it down to zero, it may take a while before the phone actually shows anything on the screen.

The phone needs to build up a charge before it boots up. And it doesn't actually charge if your using it while it's plugged in via USB because it's low powered.
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!!
Running a rooted, unlocked, EVO 4g running CM 7.2.0 Rom
I've seen this same behavior twice. Once yesterday and once today.
Yesterday
Phone was plugged into usb port of laptop charging (around 50% at the time) was running Pandora and Wifi Tether (build into ROM). Phone crashes to off, no reboot attempt. Attempt to power phone back on yields no result (no lights, no screen ... nothing). Remove battery for 10-15 mins, insert and hook up to a AC charger and hit power button. Red light starts flashing, I wait for it to turn solid and try booting again. This time phone turns on and hangs at white HTC EVO splash screen. I then boot phone into custom recovery image, clear cache partition, and reboot. Phone boots ROM fully, batter reads 50% still and works fine until the next day.
Today
Phone was plugged in running Wifi tether, but not Pandora. Same behavior in crashing, removing battery, hooking up ac charger etc... this time however it didn't hang on the HTC EVO splash screen, and boots the ROM. However, the battery no reads 0% and wasn't charging. Removing the AC charger causes phone to shutdown. Reboot rom again, still read 0%, but let it sit for a few minutes and begins to charge. Appears to be charging fine and holds its own without the ac charger. **Note - battery was also around 50% or so when it crashed out
Questions:
Whats the root here? Bad battery? Bad rom? Thoughts on root cause would help if anyone has gone through this.
Thanks!
I'd say a combination of battery and ROM. Try flashing a new ROM and if it continues, try a new battery.
I'm hoping some of you wise heads on here might be able to help me out with a problem that has got me totally and utterly stumped!
Last week I was using my One X and noticed the battery was down to aorund 14%. I plugged it into a charger and nothing happened...no light...nothing. I tried various different chargers and cables to pc etc and nothing seemed to do anything.
After leaving the phone plugged into the mains for a few hours, I noticed that a very slow/long flashing red/amber light appeared. It kind of stays on for 5 seconds and then off for the same amount of time. I left the phone in this state for about 14 hours and when turning on it would say battery was somewhere between 0%, 1% and 2% and would promptly switch itself off.
I messed about for hours on end trying many different button combinations, sim in/out and came to this bizarre conclusion.........If I plug the phone into the mains for a few minutes, then press power and volume down to get to the HBOOT menu then hold power in again to reboot, the phone reboots into the OS and is functional. It still reads as having 0% or 1% battery and shows as not charging, but it must be getting some juice for it to be working. If I leave the phone in this state for a while I can then unhook it from the charger and use it as normal, even though battery is displaying as 0%. I can use the phone like this for some time, although the battery does not appear to last as long.
Also, the phone is not recognised at all by the PC when plug in via usb when in android os - nothing at all shows in device manager, but it is recognised from the fastboot menu and tries to install device drivers.
Has anybody got any clue if I can save my HOX or am I without a paddle?? Many thanks in advance
I am having problems with my HTC 10. This morning I charged the phone but it told me fast charging isn’t working so it was charging slowly. By the time the charge got to 20% I decided to unplug the charger from my phone and switch it on.
When I switched it on I expected there to be 20% on the battery but instead it was only 1% charge left. The phone then switched itself off so I connected the charger back to the phone but the phone switches itself off halfway through the boot and I notice sometimes the battery charge icon appears then goes off. I also notice the red light on the top of the phone flashes then goes off.
I then switched the phone into download mode and selected TWRP to factory reset the phone. I rebooted and it goes into Android and I get the message that it’s starting android as if I am booting into a newly installed android.
The phone then switches itself off when it’s halfway through loading android. The strange thing is that the phone stays on when it is in download mode. What could be the problem? Please advise.
The phone has now switched itself off from download mode probably because the battery is dead. It looks like it’s a connection problem with the charger or the battery is needing replace because when I connect the charger to the phone the red like on the phone flashes for a few seconds then goes off then the battery charger icon appears for a second briefly then it switches itself off and nothing happens. Any ideas.
