Today, i found my xpm switched off. Tried to power it on,it didnt. Thinking that it was out of charge, i plugged in the device for some time. The led was blinking red in sequence. Tried to power it on again, but again it didnt. Failing to power on even after charging for two hours, i have tried all key combos, tried to boot into fastboot mode. Sadly it is not booting to fastboot mode. Any idea? Dont tell me its the infamous red light of death
when you charged it the red light should not turn off.try to put your phone elevated from the charger ..if the red lights blinks when you try to power on it it means its low power that it can't make your phone boot.
when you charge .it should be steady red light .if no light then its not charging

I have an option for last resort to force a charge into a phone. Don't try this unless you have to. I'm not familiar with your phone but have done this on a few droid razrs and even Asus tablets.
First find an old USB cord that you no longer need. Cut the head off and strip the wires back enough there should be 3 wires. You only need the red and black. Strip them so they are separated and have room to work with em. Next figure out what contact is positive on the battery and negative on the battery. Try taping the red to the positive and black to the negative. Make sure they do not touch eachother. And leave on charger for at least 30 minutes. Do not try to fully cage a battery this way would possibly over charge the battery and could cause damage or even harm.
They droid razrs would get the white light of death and the first nexus 7 by asus did something similar where the battery dies and power going into the changer isn't being sent to the battery this negates the computer and forces a small charge into the battery once Bootable the phone should charge regularly good luck

try plugging the charger to the phone connected to any electricity outlet also if your battery is pretty dead sometimes you need to let it charge for up 5 minutes before it can turn on
Doesn't help tried the new accumulator. Phone dead.
Same thing happened to me I was just about to post
Edit: mine speccifically freezes on the Droid eye then bootloops

This just in im a wizard. so the phone was off and i held volume down and power to get in to the stock recovery the i cleared data and it continued to loop. Then I did it again but i pulled the battery in the middle of the data clear and reinserted it then it finished clearing and booted!
How to return it to life? Nobody
can help?
Do what I did in the post before

I don't understand about what you speak.
Power off the phone and hold volume down and then power at the same time until it goes to a white hboot screen then use the volume keys to select data reset and press power to select. If it still doesn't then on try that again

Phone doesn't turn on.It is not charged and doesn't enter in bootloader!!!

My wife's phone stopped charging last week. She ended up having to take it back to Verizon and have a replacement sent to her.
I live in Ukraine. Phone has bought on ebay.I can not replace it at Verizon
So I replacef the LCD screen on my p930. re assembled everything and it does not turn on. i don't feel that click when i hold the power button, If i plug the phone into a AC charger and hold the power button i get 3 blinking keys on the phone.I can't even get the phone to vibrate like when it normally powers on. Anyone have any ideas of what this could be?
Try to open it up again and double check your work, Something might have come loose.
Before you changed the screen was it working properly? Why did the screen break? Was it dropped?
The battery is beyond dead. Let the phone charge for a day, if it hasn't come on by then look at all connections u touched. Last case is try another battery you know works.

if you didn't connect the new lcd properly its not going to come on, also the new one might be defective, did you get it on ebay?
did you make sure you have the right screen? taking the phone apart and putting it back togethere there is alot you can miss or go wrong, when i did mine i was so careful it took me multiple hours, i took my time with every detail these things are worth 400-700 depending on who you ask either way you can't rush it

This. Try this before you go tearing your phone all apart just to find that everything is put together correctly.
Plug it in and leave it plugged in for 10-15 at the minimum before you try using it. If the phone shuts itself down due to the battery running completely down, it will be completely unresponsive to anything unless plugged in; at which point it will only flash the bottom keys when you try to turn it on. Once it gets a little bit of charge to it, it should boot right up.
A year ago I had rooted the phone and such and had rogue recovery on it with some ice cream sandwich rom I cannot remember. I lost my job so my phone was left on a table for over a year. I want to use it now, but it does not turn on and I am clueless if its something malfunctioning with the phone or if it has anything to do with these things I did a year ago. It was working fine before I stopped using it.
I left the phone charging overnight (I could see a blinking blue light in the top right so I figured it was working) I woke up and the phone was pretty hot, but not SUPER hot. I hardly even used the phone... it had like 2-3 months of actual casual use before I stopped using it.
Is it just dumpster recycle material now? I've tried removing battery and some things but there isn't much information I can find anywhere.
Thanks for any help.
Have you tried booting into download or recovery? Try that if you can do that, all is not lost. Just flash a one click(if you can only get to Odin) or the Rom, kernel, modem, of choice from recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D710BST using xda premium
Being that it was working then sat for a year I would say the battery is shot. You said blinking blue light. Either you have no kernel (unlikely) or your battery is beyond repair. Buy a new battery and get some jellybean on there.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Yeah well I hardly remember anything about these androids and such. I've tried getting into what I assume was rogue recovery by holding volume up and then pressing power ( also tried holding power doing this) and many other combinations. Nothing happens. The blinking blue light is only there when the battery is in. I've tried charging it again and after about 10 minutes the phone itself is REALLY hot. The battery is not hot at all. No idea what is going on. Would I be able to boot the phone with no battery and just directly connected to power to test if its the battery or not? or is this type of phone a no go with that kind of strategy? I've tried it obviously and it does not turn on. It frustrates me how I never even got to use this phone and now I'm screwed it seems.
Do ypu have an external battery charger? If not you can go to sprint (assuming you are on good terms now) and ask them to check the battery for you. I do not think the phone boots without a battery.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Well Sprint will probably want to make me pay my way past due bill and crap before even looking at the battery! I'll try to ask one of my android fanatics IRL if hes got an external charger or something.
Blinking blue LED means battery failure. Need a new battery. They are pretty cheap on amazon and ebay. You can either go OEM, or extended.

Let me elaborate on why your battery failed. Lithium Ion batteries have this little annoyance with how they need to be used. Say you use your phone until it dies. Well the battery still has about 20 to 30% left in it, but not enough to fully power the phone on. When the battery sits doing nothing, it will drop till it is completely depleted. This causes the battery to ultimately break, making it almost impossible to charge below 15% and a complete failure comes when it drops all of its charge.
Now don't mistake what I am telling you for what your phone says the charge is at. Your battery will still have a charge even when the phone say 0%, I can also prove this with my phone being modified with an always on LED I installed. I can keep this LED on for a couple days after the battery loses its ability to power the phone. I however never push it too far or I would not be able to charge the battery again.
Basically, you let the battery lose all of its remaining charge, ultimately making it useless.

Hello,
A couple of days ago I was out in the rain and my phone got a little wet. I checked the water damage indicators on the battery and underneath the battery but they didn't change colors and the phone was functioning fine so I thought I'd be okay.
Well, that morning I woke up to my phone constantly rebooting. I took out the battery and put the phone in some rice hoping it wouldn't be too late. I waited about 2 days and took it out, opened up the phone to look for some corrosion. I didn't see anything, but it would have to very obvious in order for me to recognize it...Here's a picture of the inside (it might be hard to see because of the flash, but the bottom water damage indicator close to the USB port turned pink):
[removed because I can't post outside links apparently]
I plugged the phone back in but it would not come on or display anything.
I'm not sure what my next step should be. Should I try replacing the charging port? Or is this phone most likely shot?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Well I cleaned the phone and can get the charging indicator to come up when it's plugged in..however, it doesn't seem to be charging. I hold the power button in and it won't turn on. I hold the power button and volume up button in and it won't turn on. I took out the battery and left it plugged in and the screen doesn't display anything.
Anyone know what else I can try?
Thanks
It's kind of tough to say for sure which component or components failed.... I mean, if it were me I'd shell out for a new phone, be it a GalNex or a newer phone.
If the battery isn't charging but the phone responds to a charger being plugged in....and it rebooted a lot when it did work... It's probably the main board...

No mine doesn't, it gets warm but then again it's charging. Maybe try a different charger? The one that out comes with is 1.8A which isn't that high, but I guess it could be for usb 2.0. My nexus 7 has a 1.2A charger which is a lot lower and my note had a 2.0A charger. I would try the other one and confirm it's a lower amperage and see if that helps.

This is normal. Because it is inductive charging.

This is OK totally to get warm when charging and also it gets even warmer if you are using it. Try testing laptop charger... Drain battery totally and then plug charger to wall outlet. Wait few minutes and touch the charger. Then turn on you laptop use it a little and then again touch charger,even hotter...
Any or every device gets warm while charging. Dont worry this normal unless your phone gets so hot that you can't even touch it.

What isn't normal is I got a warning popup on mine today saying something to the effect of 'Charging is being suspended due to high temperature'.
WTF! It was in my car, plugged in to the same charger I have used for months. I'm in the UK! Temperature was certainly no higher than 25 Celsius. device was warm, but not so warm I couldn't touch it!
If you get a warning then check inside USB port. I had this behavior on GS2 where the tab inside port was touching the inside wall. I used a micro screw driver and slightly lifted it up so its not making contact with the metal housing. Be very careful as you have been warned. If you break the tab means your phone is done. So proceed at your own risk.

Mine heats up regularly when using it, but when I'm charging and also using it, it gets so hot I can't even touch it. My clean master always sends me notifications about apps that keep restarting excessively. Any advice?
PS when I leave it charging it still heats up pretty badly without me using it.
