[Q] Not blinking red light - LG Optimus G (International)

Hey, so this happened a while ago but I hadn't been able to look into it until now, I have an Optimus G E977 Bootloader unlocked running Carbon Rom-gee with Justins Matr1x kernel, everything seemed to be fine. I left it charging overnight like usual and it was working fine, however the next morning it was turned off and it just wouldn't turn on, when connected to the charger or a PC only the led light will turn on, with a red color and it will stay there on, it won't blink or anything, letting it charge does nothing. So I was wondering if you guys could share your experience with me, could it be a battery issue like the Nexus 4s red light of death or is my motherboard death?
If you want more details feel free to ask me anything.

This has happened too Me too.. This happens due to unlocked bootloader because the phone turns on automatically when its charged if its off ; so if you've drained your battery completely (ie ;It wasn't charging overnight in your case) the phone Will never charge ..
You can charge it by using a more powerful charger like a 2A charger .. The galaxy note 2 has a 2A stock charger .. Use it to charge the phone and you are all done..
Next time don't let the battery below 5 %

No dice :/ tried using a Note 3 charger, but nothinf happens, the permanently on red led is there the moment I connect the phone and that's how it stays, also it kind of got heated up. I don't think the bootloader is the problem since it has already reached 0% before and it has never been an issue. I never did update with the 4.4.2 KDZ so maybe thats why I don't have a 0% problem.

Once happened to me after I flashed KDZ (2 days powered on so battery died)
What I did was I inserted the USB to phone and PC and started flashing KDZ, got in download mode and started... After which phone died
What I did was:
Connect to 2amp wall charger
Pressed power button repeatedly
And after 10 mins it started up

I think the Note 3 has a usb 3.0 charger which might be unsupported.. Try to use a note 2 charger instead ..

Not Charging After Full Drain. Not Turning On When Plugged In

So I'm having a problem where I drained my battery and the phone shut itself off with 1% to 2% battery life remaining. I've left it charging for a good 45 minutes now. Turned it on, and it reported 1%. Thinking that it was just a reporting error, I unplugged it, and the phone promptly shut itself off. Now another 30 minutes has passed, unplugged it, turned it on. The phone refuses to turn on! It will however show the battery charging animation, so I know it's not bricked or anything. I guess my only solution is to leave it charging while it's off overnight, even though I need to use my phone right now... That important person will have to wait :crying:
Edit: Works again... Though it does not show my battery life correctly. It says 15% when it's probably more like 2%.
Make sure it's plugged into a wall and not your computer.

Might want to use a different cable.. i have read that the cable and possibly even the wall adapter can be flakey.. if you have a spare cable try to use it instead of the lg one..
Original LG cable is fine. It's ever since I drained the battery it's started to act weird. I plugged it in at 3% in hopes of "calibrating" the batterystats and it was charging fine. Up till now. I caught a glimpse of my phone turn itself off while charging.
Now it's randomly decided to turn itself on and bootloop... And back to charging animation while off we go. What the hell? The battery isn't charging... Switching cables didn't help btw.
Found a third cable. Temporarily working..

Hmmm maybe the charger? Sounds to me like its not getting proper power hence the shutting down while plugged in.. but what do I know heh
I have the same problem. Plugged the phone in at about 3% and walked away. Came back an hour later to find it stuck in a loop of the LG logo and a black screen. I can sometimes get it into recovery, and from there see that the battery percentage will go from 0% to 15% and back to 0%. It's like the battery is bad.
I think it's a problem with the ROM/firmware where we can't drain it and hope to charge it up again..
I'm still running v1 of the jb release and last night I used my phone until it shut down at 2%, charged it up fine, and its been ok, knock on wood. One weird thing is that if I use the phone while on the charger, and I mean light tapatalk usage, the phone will drop to 99%, even while plugged in. Weird.

That's normal. When the phone is charged at 100% it stop charging to avoid the battery to be overcharged thus reducing it's durability.
Not charging again... My phone maintained a charge between 10% and 25% or so according to the battery usage graph. So I switched cables again. I went into the service menu and got a screenshot of the charging test this time. First pic is with the LG cable. Second is with a Samsung cable. Third picture is back with LG cable after the battery successfully got charged past the "low battery zone" with the Samsung cable.
I have a similar problem with the stock charger. After a few weeks of working perfectly, it just sopped charging my Optimus G.
Bizarrely, it charges my wife's Galaxy S2 HD LTE without issues.
And the charger from my Sony-Ericsson Xperia pro charges the Optimus without issues.
It's almost like the stock charger burns out something internally such that it doesn't output enough voltage/amperage/current.
Sent via the magic of an Optimus G (E971) running CM 10.1.
So it happened again... But this time, it occurred in between 20% to 40% battery life while charging. It's probably the LG cable.. Gonna call support and ask for another.

I have a similar situation -- I powered down my phone one time at 5 %, did not wake up until one hour of charge, then last night tried again with about 40 % of battery left, same problem. I was wondering at first if the phone did not go to power down properly, and that the battery would drain through that, but then I just did another test with my battery at 30 %, and the phone did not want to restart until plugged in for 5 minutes.. It's almost as if the booting process is just this huge battery drain, sucking all the juice to start the phone in a peak of electrical rage.. anyway -- I noticed that yesterday, I was trying to restart the phone after a while, it would start to boot but it seemed it owuld just miss a little bit of juice to complete the process, then finally when it made it to screen it was at about 10 %..
Could it be that fix we used in the stock rom to get the screen at more than 65 %, and the cpu at 1512 mhz ? It seems more software related than hardware in my case, meaning I don't beleive it is the cable
Hate to revive an old thread, but as the new owner of an LGOG i just ran across this problem the other day. My phone has been able to go two day on a charge, and last week I forgot to charge it on night. Found it dead the next day. was leaving so I took it intending to charge at work or in the car. Car charger had no effect, but upper portion of phone got hot. plugged it in at home, same thing, charging icon, getting hot, but not charging. Also noted dim screen glow all the time.
tried 2o second hold on power button, vol up and down, got into the download screen and the bootloader screen, but no charge. Finally held the power button and vol. up and red charging light came on. Held it for a minute and the red charging light stayed on, let go out it went. Decided to try a couple of rubber bands around the phone to hold in the buttons, and it worked ---phone charged fully and operates as usual.
Thought I'd pass my experiance on to help anyone else with similar problem. Any idea why this worked?
I don't know, but I do know that getting to android 4.3 roms like the ones in Houstonn's thread have cured my O. G. from that, and from also constant and random camera reboot, and from also maps freaking out when plugged in in the car..

For anybody that runs into this problem
I had this problem and tried for hours and hours to fix it. When you stick the usb charger into your phone, it literally takes like 5 hours to charge 2% when it's in this state
So it never gets to a point of wanting to turn on because the phone gets too hot trying to charge
My solution: Put a bunch of ice in a bowl, then put something over that like a bag, aluminum foil, basically anything that would be a barrier between the ice and your phone to keep it from getting wet
Now let it charge with the phone sitting on top of that ice for a few hours(make sure to add new ice as it melts) and your phone will charge up enough that it can be fully turned on. Then just let it keep charging
This worked for me after trying other things for hours. If this didn't work i was gonna open the phone and pull the battery
After the last update I have not had this issue. I've run my phone dead a few times and now it always charges - no issue.

thanks a lot for ur prompt reply dude... ya will try that surely.. but any idea y this is caused? could it be a battery caliberating issue or battery itself gone.. ?
May i answer to this? @karthik_sa2 : I had the same problem about 1 month ago.
This is what happened to me.
I plugged the phone to an ac charger, leaving it on.I think i may have left open some battery hungry apps like a game, and the ac charger could not deliver enough power to the phone.The battery continued to discharge untill 0, but the phone remained on for a reason.After 3-4 minutes, the battery reached a critical level and the phone shut down.
I left the phone plugged to an wall charger for about 1 and a half days.Then i was able to start the phone in bootloader.Happy ending!

No, my led was dead.
After 1,5 days , it charged 3%.At least this is the info the ROM was telling me .
Don't worry about the led, just leave the phone charging for 1-2 days.Then try oppening it on bootloader.

"Be paitient, Plug your phone in and give it a minimum of 20 mins charge even though it's flashing.
Unplug the phone and hold both the VOL up and VOL down buttons together for at least 2 mins then release.
Plug the phone back in.. don't worry if it's starts flashing again just be paitent it will I guarantee stop flashing a red led and begin charging to show a constant red led..
By holding thew vol up and vol down buttons you will reset the charging circuit..
The reason your phone has started flashing is because it's gone too far into a discharge...
JUST DON'T PANIC and stay calm.. show a little paitence and all will be well...." :victory:

[Q] battery problem :-/

hey guys, I noticed a problem about the recharging time after updated LG optimus g to kitkat. now it takes really long hours to charge the phone completely, for example it needs at least 7-8 hours or even more. how can I solve this problem?
I have this problem. Anyone knows something about this?
You should try too calibrate your battery
I'd recommend to use NEMA BATTERY CALIBRATION

I also have a problem with my LG Optimus G. I have Android KitKat, software 20C, rooted phone. Yesterday my phone battery dropped to 0%. I was sick and I didn't have time to charge it. Today I plug my charger but nothing happens. LED isn't working (no red colour), there is nothing on my smartphone display. What's the problem with this smartphone, I hope he isn't bricked.

im also starting to notice my phone is charging so slow, the battery icon indicates that it's filling up but sometimes the percentage wont go up, it will be stuck at 50% for couple of hours, and i have read some topics saying that This phone has really some problem burning up the charging ports, one even said that he already burned 4 chargers out of this phone is this true?

i think it's my charger, because i tried my friend's charger from his Zenfone 5 and it charged my phone for just about 2hrs or so.
mine would charge for atleast 3 to 5% and after that it will not charge anymore, i wonder what happened? I am on full stock right now fully unrooted using LG flash tool. it's really a shame that my charger gave up so soon as i have only bought this phone(Brand New) not 2 months ago.

I had exactly the same problem. I forced them to change my main board under guarantee. It didn't help. I bought a new battery. Helped but charging time was 3 hours. I saw I couldn't transfer files via USB tried changing cable and I can charge 0 to 100 in 2:10 hours. 20 mins faster than the day I bought my phone. The stock charger is OK but the cable is a crap. Do what I did from bottom to top!

RedMi 1S won't Turn on after Battery drain

Hi
I have a RedMi 1S running V45 (Indian Version). I am using this mobile since last 1 month. I am facing a strage issue with the phone.
Whenever the battery drains completely and the phone get switched off, it is taking forever to switch on the phone even after charging. I atleast need to charge it for 1 or 2 hours to see something on the screen. Its like the phone is completely dead.
I tried taking of the battery and inserted it and then charged. At this stage only thing I notice is the status LED glows in RED for a couple of seconds and like dead. After one or 2 hours, I see that LED starts blinking in RED. After this I need to wait for another 30 min or 1 hour to be able to switch on the phone. It is like the phone is taking almost 2 hours to get the initial charge to switch on the phone.
Is anyone facing same kind of issue?
Thanks
No mine is fine..
It only takes about 10-15s normally to gain initial charge to boot up !
Maybe some issue with charging?
No such issue faced yet. Once mine got fully discharged , but started in few seconds of charging.
Issue with the Charger
Hi
Looks like issue/compatibility with the Charger. I was using Samsung 2.5A charger which I bought for old mobile. Today, I tested with the original MI charger and the phone immediately showing the charging status. The MI original charger is 2A one. But still I think it has some compatibility issue with other chargers.
Thanks for your replies.
Dont!!!
@mail2eswar Please Dont use any other charger except xiaomi charger!! Its Snapdragon 400 8228 and it actually supports Qualcomm Quick charge 2.0 but its not working (donno bcaz of kernel or its locked) So if u use any other charger u'll end up in SoC failures :silly: and leads Motherboard replacement!!!! :cyclops:

Don't ever use another's phone as your Charger. Different V and A are the main cause of your issue.

Did you get any solution for this issue I'm facing the same the same problem. I'm unable to restart my redmi 1s
Eaxct same problem on my Redmi 1S
Exactly the same issue with mu Redmi 1S. Initially everything was fine. Then one day I lost my original Charger (1 Amp) , and I started looking for a replacement charger. I got one 2 Amp Fast charger from a local store and initially everything was fine and the Phone used to charge fine but then it wont hold the charge for too long. So I started using my Redmi Note4 charger which again is a 2 Amp charger.
But as I see is that if my phone is once drained fully, it is not easy to start back. 2 Amp charger connected for 3 hours straight did'nt help, apart from the intermittent flicker of the LED once a while. No battery charging animation on the screen.
Then I took 1.2 Amp Nexus Charger and behold the full screen battery charging animation pops up immediately. I could start my phone while charging.
My inference is that get an original Xiaomi Redmi 1S (1 Amp) charger if you can. Or else suffer like me
i have the same problem . did you fix it
exactly same problem here. Difference is that I'm using Redmi 1s for more than 3 yrs and suddenly out of nowhere these happened ( after battery discharged its not starting and a red led is blinking, even removing battery and connecting to the charger didn't work). Someone mentioned here not to use different charger, probably they r right bcz I used samsung charger while this happened. Went to Mi Authorized Servicing Centre they told Motherboard is damaged and will cost Rs. 4800/-. No way man! my Mi was of 5999/- not gonna fix it with 4800/-. I'll rather go for a new one.
can i solve this problem by changing another os
Yes You are right. Today after complete battery drain, I have connected phone to another charger that time LED on mobile start blinking so I assume that it started charging while it was not. After another one hr I tried to switched on but it was not switching on so I was worried and I started searching solution, Strangly when I connected Orignal Charger , it immediately shows battery symbol which was showing 0% charge. Thanks to this thread which help me to find solution.

Note II Not starting up and not charging

Hey guys it has been a while since i used my Note 2, i had custom cyanogen rom v12 stable running it..
The phone has been off for a month.. i wanted to use it again so at first it wouldn't start, figured it would be battery ran out so plugged it for charge yet not battery symbol/logo of charging came out as it used to do.. i let it for about half an hour plugged in and tried to turn it on yet nothing happened.
i also tried download mode and recovery yet also not booting into them.
My brother has a functioning Note 2 so i thought maybe the issue is battery wise, so i switched batteries between both phones,
[the battery that was originally in my phone now in the functioning other phone... AND IT CHARGED NORMALLY]
[the battery taken from the other phone and put it into mine didn't charge!!!]
What's the problem with my phone?? how can it brick by itself after just leaving it turned off for a month.
I hope i can find a solution for it
Regards
Are you using the original Samsung cable and charger with the phone?

The phone has been off for a month.. i wanted to use it again so at first it wouldn't start, figured it would be battery ran out so plugged it for charge yet not battery symbol/logo of charging came out as it used to do.. i let it for about half an hour plugged in and tried to turn it on yet nothing happened.
i also tried download mode and recovery yet also not booting into them.
My brother has a functioning Note 2 so i thought maybe the issue is battery wise, so i switched batteries between both phones,
[the battery that was originally in my phone now in the functioning other phone... AND IT CHARGED NORMALLY]
[the battery taken from the other phone and put it into mine didn't charge!!!]
What's the problem with my phone?? how can it brick by itself after just leaving it turned off for a month.
I hope i can find a solution for it
Regards

Are you using the original Samsung cable and charger with the phone?

yeah the official cable.
I don't know why the phone failed on its own
Maybe try a 2.0 amp charger? Was the phone exposed to moisture?
Does the phone actually function properly now that the battery is charged? You could try disassembling the phone and removing the charging port and cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol and baking just the port on a cooking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees. This fixed my Note II when it wouldn't charge after I dropped it in water
I also have a similar problem. I was on dn4 rom when this started my phone didn't even alow me to flash a rom so I used Odin aand failed the first time and thankfuly it worked the 2nd time. Now the phone is better than before but if I unplug it turns off and tries to reboot but stays on the note 2 logo and also if the battery is on 82% and it reboots it can jump all the way to 4%.
Problem is that the phone was left in my closet untouched for a whole month, i changed the battery and was sure it was 100% charged...
[no note 2 logo , no nothing] .. the phone is black and doesn't turn on
Its not a battery issue more than i think its the faulty rom that ruined it

how did odin recognized your phone when it can't turn on?
I bet the display backlight failed or burnt out.

The phone could only go into download mode. Also if I try to turn it on, it would only show the note 2 logo and won't go any further. Yesterday I tried an aftermarket battery with my phone and it was able to boot past the note 2 logo.

No that's not the case, samsung said that if a display backlight dies, the phone still vibrates when you turn it on... that's what tells if the screen display is burnt out or not
