Red blinking red, unresponsive phone - LG Optimus G (International)

After i unlocked and installed MoKee everything was fine until my phone got out of juice while listening to radio. Now the phone is just unresponsive and when I connect it to the wall charger it just blinks(kinda , it looks like a blink on top of a static red light. hard to tell) red light and does nothing. From time to time it stops for 1-2 secs and starts blinking again.
If I try to open / reset / fastboot the phone stops blinking for half a second and goes back to blinking. I found some topics about this problem in xda and other forums but they were all resolved by disconnecting the battery and letting it cool for sometime.
Well the problem with that is; I dont want to void my warranty by opening up the phone and I dont want the service to find out that I m fully rooted and unlocked (which means another excuse to void the warranty). Is there anyone who solved this problem without opening up the phone? or am I doomed for good.
EDIT: topic heading supposed to be red blinking led but my mind is getting bricked without my phone too

Try to connect phone to charger, and hold both valume down+power at same time. Hold for atleast 10 seconds.

normally it means it's charging...
ORANGE light means charging.
RED light normally means battery is almost dead.
Try removing the battery overnight, then replace and charge. If this doesnt work maybe you could try it in another phone just to see if it is dead.
It happened to me too the first time I got it. Actually the red light means either the battery is completely dead, or you haven't put it all the way in correctly. In my case, after putting in the battery, I had to press it at the bottom, and then push the latch all the way up, otherwise i would keep getting the red light.
There is another reason, AFAIK: it's when you have a missed-call or unread message.
Red light
Hi all,
i've got the same problem .. got a red light but the battery is fully charged..
h4x0r: your solution did not work form me ....
does anyone know what could be wrong ????
Ive got the same problem now.
Worked fine all day, than it said that the battery power was low.
So i put it on charge, when i came back, the device was dead and the
red light was on.
Gonna leave the battery out for the night, to see what happens.
Hi, I had the same problem too red light on and it wouldnt respond at all even after putting on charge then about an hour later it came on and hard reset itself!!. Mad! seems ok now though (3 days on)
it has something to do with messages or alarms eventhough no messages are incoming. all you have to do is go to settings, sounds & notifications, select the notifications tab below, and just click ok. that will change the red light immediately to green. there's a bug of some sort here.

[nevermind] Bricked

Last night I got woken up at 4:04 (I lol'd when I saw it) by my phone that was vibrating and wouldn't stop. When I pressed the power button on top of the device, the screen showed my wallpaper for less than a second, and then turned off. I can't get it on again, when it's plugged into the charger, the LED stays off. It doesn't seem to respond to anything.
So is there anything I could try before sending it off to the insurance company?
[edit]
When I plug it in now, the orange LED comes on, meaning it's charging. When I press the power button the LED goes off as if it is preparing to boot, then the LED comes on again and charges again.
[edit 2]
Seems to be working again. Charged it for a few minutes and now it's back on again and has loaded Android. The constant vibrating was odd. I guess the charger wasn't properly connected or something and it was shutting down while also receiving a notification.
The thing I was most scared of was getting a new one from the insurance company and it being an SLCD version.

[Problem]Vibarating when charging

I was watching a movie while charging my HTC Desire and at once it started vibrating and the screen was black also the charging LED was gone.
After like 20 seconds i pulled out the battery, did it back in and tried to boot it but nothing no screen led sound vibrate nothing.
I'm not sure wich radio i'm running i gues the last one (Flashed the newest as posible a month ago).
At the moment it happened i was running the latest MiUi (1.8.19)
It scared the hell out me and i'm not sure what todo now, i hope anyone can help me on this one (Also i checked the power there is nothing wrong with also all devices on the same net was the TV and my phone charging)
Edit1: Oke i figured out that if i put it on the charger the charging light goes on, then i try to turn my phone one the charging light is off for 5 seconds then it turns on again (Phone still doesn't work), When i take out the battery and hang it on my pc and try to turn it on the led blinks like orange green orange green and it keeps going also my pc doesn't react on the phone plugged in the USB
Thanks.

[Q] XPERIA ZL blank screen with constant white LED blinking

Hello everyone,
This is my friend's ZL. He just came to me for help. His phone suddenly went blank, and the notification LED keeps on blinking at an interval of ~7-8 sec. The phone is EXTREMELY hot now. I tried pressing the power button to no avail. Pressing power + volume up also reveals nothing. I tried to charge it for around 30 minutes, but still nothing. If else, it gets hotter....
Now my guess is that this phone is currently stuck inside the android OS itself, with the white LED blinking from his previous notifications. It just stops, froze, and I must wait until this phone ran out of battery and I'll try to charge it to see if it will revive. My other guess is it's stuck somewhere while starting up and those white LED blinking means something..... Until then, anyone else have the same problem?
Btw, this phone is pure stock. No modification done, not even root. ROM updated to the last version as of today (July 18, 2013).

Maybe try the reset button under the sim cover at bottom of phone..... did it go funny immediately after the update? If so, then the update must have failed...

Thank you for this solution, I was having the same issue, I caled the company's call center they said it was a factory issue, that I needed to take it to the workshop. I was sad for being without my expensive new phone during the year end. But this button fixed it inmediately.
I was uploading a picture to share and it got stock, it's a pictured I downloaded where I was tagged on facebook. After resetting the phone, I tried to share the same picture and it went black again. Definetily there's something wrong with the app I'm using to share or the file. Maybe that's something I'll look for the solution in another thread. Thank you!!!:good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::good::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Circle with lightning bolt (battery low icon) trying to power on, Galaxy A50 (video)

Galaxy A50, circle with lightning bolt (battery low icon) when trying to power on, with full load, is not connected to the load https: //youtu.be/h0lnht5kdew
with low load, is not connected to the load https: //youtu.be/kp7OQXETyXc
When the phone is shut down and i am trying to power on, This icon shows up first on long pressing the power buton. Then pressing the power button second time switches the phone on. Any idea? (Ps- showing this even when battery is charged. Basically on every boot)
I have already replaced the firmware It always appears,
Sorry My English
I have same thing with grey circle and lighting while powering on. Any ideas???
I have the exact same issue on my A50
I Have the exact same issue, did you solved it? Could this be a firmware bug or hardware issue? The phone has updated several times but the issue still persists
Thanks
You're Not Alone..
I Just Did A 14 Day Exchange With My Original Unit...
And It Literally Happened On The 14th Day...
It Got to the point where you needed to have it connected to a charger just to power it on...
That Should Get You Guys Going... :good:
But I now fear... this is a "Luck-Of-The-Draw" situation..
And may happen any time to any unit.. even though my New Replacement Unit seems just fine so far..
My Advice would be for everyone to shut your unit Off and On at least 50 times... to see if your device triggers this Horrific Issue..
Between this fear and the Bluetooth issue of Cutting In and Out... that also seems to persist on most units, I may do an upgrade to an S-Class Unit..
F.Y.I. My Unit is an Xfinity-Class A50u..
This is happening to several A50 users...
but there is no way to fix it :crying:

Shure it is. Return to Samsung service point.
im a samsung a50 user and the only ways i know to turn it on is. 1. turn on while charging 2. power on and volume down pressed together. i could say this malfunction started when i broke my fast chargin adapter and used another samsung non fast adapter.
samsung A50 problem with lighting bolt while turn it on
I have exactly the same problem while trying to turn it on. I complaines several times to the oficial service, they replaced it with a new one, as it was under quarantee, and from the first time I turned it off and on, the same thing happened. It takes 5-20 efforts before it turns on.
I complained again, to the Customer Service of Samsung this time, but they have done nothing so far.
Any ideas of solving it..?
I have a samsung A50.It worked fine for a year after I had purchased it.now my warranty period has been exceeded and it is showing the same issue as above.My fast charging adapter worked in good condition when I first encounter this issue.(when I pressed power button phone didn't turn on and there was the symbol of lighting bolt and the circle.)so I connected my phone to charger and pressed the power button.then phone switched on. But after that my phone didn't charge using the fast charging adapter.so I reset my phone too.every time I switch on my phone by pressing the power button same thing happens and phone isn't turning on.only way to turn on is connect to the charger(new fast charging adapter) and pressing the power button.if any one has a fix for this please reply....
