Charging Loop?!?! Need Help

Hello! I wasn't able to find anything on this so I'm wondering if my phone is defective...
My phone is stuck in a loop...
1.I plug the phone in it will charge for 5 minutes then try to start up
2.The charging will stop during the boot up (on it own)
3.I imagine there's not enough battery power so the phone will shut off
And this will go on in a continuous loop. Also I can't stop it from booting up so that makes it worse...
I just bought the phone and let the battery drain down the for the first time and it started looping this way. Very odd. I have 2 other HTCs (8925 and 8525) and never had this problem...
So I'm wondering is it
1. The Software (config)
2. The Battery
3. The phone
I've searched the internet and it seems like I'm the only one having this problem...
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hmmmmmm sounds like a bad phone, I'd return it to your carrier if possible

i had a simular situation w/ my mda...i was on vacation, and when the battery drained, it wouldnt take a charge...the problem was that i was using my girlfriends motorola charger which wasnt strong enough charge a completly drained mda battery...
just ensure you are using the charger that came w/ the phone, as many figure (as did i) that one mini-usb charger is as good as another...
hope that helps...

Having the same issue, my Pro2 charges for couple of minutes than reboots and also the battery won't take a full charge so can Hard Reset .
Anyone else resolved this issue

Try booting your phone without the battery, so it doesn't need to charge

Thanks alot it turned out to be the USB cable. It was defective I was using the charger for my 8925 and it was working no problem but when I switch back to the TP2 it didn't work!

Arc s prob

My battery on arc s was on 6% and i didnt connect charger cuz i wasnt at home so my phone shut down after battery empied... At home i connect charger and tried to power on phone but it dont wanted to start so i left it connect and after a while i tried again and still nothing... So i dont know if is somthing wrong with battery or anything else... If u know what to do please tell me...

Pull out a battery wait 10 seconds put it back if its not turning on then charge for 15 minutes and try again if this wont help then try with a different battery.

Not working

Try to connect the phone on the pc with fastboot or flash mode and let it charge there for 10 minutes

I did but there was no blue led

[Q] Note2 not charging, connect(ed) to PC.

Hi,
Yesterday my new (~2 months old) Note2 stopped charging. tried 2 different chargers, 2 different cables connected to PC. No reaction (no beeps, no led, battery icon not changed to flash).
Tried removing and putting the battery back in. No change.
On the other hand, when connected to the PC, the PC identified the connection and allowed file transfer. Later the battery died completly. I succeeded in booting to download mode, and again PC identified the USB device.
Switching the phone on with no battery gave no results either (would not turn on).
This leads me to a conclusion that the USB port is probably OK. Could it just be a dead battery? (according to its label, the battery was made on Nov 29th, 2012).
I will be able to switch battery tomorrow with another Note 2. Anything else I can try till then?
Using custom recovery and stock rom.
Thanks in advance,
Idan

U already tried all the possible steps... Did you try turning the phone on when connected to a wall mount charger ?

Yeah, with or without battery... no reaction from the phone.

Have you tried a lower powered device to see if that works? Some usb ports don't have full power output, as some laptops portray.

I've tried 2 USB ports on a desktop PC. didn't work.
I've connected it without the SIM and SD to an old nokia charger (0.7ma), no sign of a change but after ~ 1 hour I noticed the red led turned on - turning the device on showed 44% charged.
Now I am too puzzled. any ideas?

This is exactly what happened to me. .. it was the motherboard. I brought an external battery charger, charged the battery full so I could use the phone. Then used triangle away and odin to flash stock rom, and sent it in for warranty service. This seems to be becoming a common fault with the note 2 now....ive seen a few thread recently.

Hey there, my sgn2 n7100 had the same problem before, I tried everything, even disassembled the phone apart, but it was still won't turn on or charge, won't be recognized by pc or Mac. One day when I repaired my mom's iPhone 4 touch screen, I found out that the USB port was so dusty. I thought may be it's all because the USB port was dusty then I picked up my sgn2 and used a soft tooth brush with a little pure alcohol to clean every corner of the USB port. Guess what? After 15 minutes I connected my phone with the USB wall charger, my sgn2 just started to charge again. Trust me guys, try to use a soft brush to clean the USB port before you give your phone to the repair store or somewhere else. Good luck!! Hope it helps.

Same here, i manage to purchase note 2 for 300 euros! And when I put it to charge nothing!I went to download mode and then turn it on normal and its charging! Also happend the same with my s3 so eighter its a charging problems or seems to be one software issues

@scufutz I could guarantee the symptoms described by the OP is NOT software issue, as I have an N7100 with same problem and I managed to flash new kernel and still it does not charge even powered off. Download mode connects perfect.
I'll check if this cleaning method, or if its a circuit prob.

USB or battery dead?

Hi
Been having trouble with my arc recently. It wont charge when connected to the cable.
I've tried 3 different USB cables, 2 different wall plugs, 2 different portable chargers and even the USB ports on my computer, and the plugs in school. I find that i take ages to connect the phone properly to charge and sometimes it'll disconnect halfway.
Now for some reason even though i left my phone plugged in, it refused to charge and the battery got completely drained, now its just looping between showing slowly flashing red and solid red light (low battery level charging).
So is this a problem with the battery or the USB port? If it indeed is a hardware fault (i do not have enough battery to flash stock yet, and no spare batteries t use), since my warranty is over, is it cheaper if i bring it into Sony or a 3rd party street repair shop?

Battery is dead ,, buy a new one .. My mother had the same problem on her x10i and new battery solved the issue

Using an x10 now with the same problem previously ...lol... tthat was a cable issue.
Anyway I know a person who owns an arc rtoo, will try to charge my battery on his phone.
Meanwhile my own arc is still flashing red led eevery 2 seconds.
edit : forgot to say that the last time I charged it, the top right hand (where all the internals are) got unusually hot... and I didn't have any problem with the battery previously.

i had the same problem with my Arc S, just need to buy a new battery and the problem will be solved :laugh:

UPDATE:
Just bought a new battery and it charged from 43% to 37%. I am flashing stock now to see if the problem persists.
Otherwise it's a trip down to the service centre to fix the circuitry perhaps... because my microUSB port works. Also, when I start my phone the top right hand corner where all the components are starts to heat up, but when I look in performance menu nothing is abnormal (processor is normal, I use 364/1400 smartassh3 sio).
EDIT: I am unable to flash stock because as soon as i connect my phone in flashmode the green light flashes for a split second, goes off, and the phone boots.
EDIT 2: I cannot go into fastboot either, same scenario with flashmode except blue LED.
EDIT 3: Just tried another microUSB cable with same result. It's not the drivers problem because I've tried both my computers, and I just flashed a ROM on my x10 yesterday. Also, I noticed that when I try to enter flashmode, after the phone disconnects, it boots into fusion kernel, then just switches off without boooting into ROM. And for some other reason, the battery is at 39% now, after a restart.

Phone won't turn on anymore

Hi everyone,
my phone simply won't turn on anymore. It was still working fine yesterday and before I went to sleep I plugged it in the original AC charger like everyday (the phone was on ~50% battery and still working after I plugged it in). But when I tried to wake up to phone in the morning nothing happened. I disconnected the charger and tried to turn on the phone again but still nothing. Then I tried connecting it to my computer but that did not work either. The phone does not show any signs that it is "alive".
I checked the charger and usb port of the phone if their is any visible hardware damage but there wasn't. The phone is only 3 weeks old and was working fine until yesterday. It was running on MDB08M and the bootloader was unlocked so I do not know if I can send it back on warranty.
Anyone here who got the same problem and found a solution?
(sorry for my bad english)

I would try connecting it to the PC and check device manager for any signs of life.

I had a similar problem, the charger died but luckily I had a spare charger

I have tried connecting it to my computer but there is no sign of life.
I guess there is no other choice than sending it back to google with the bootloader unlocked ...

My phone has died almost the same. It started to reboot itself like almost everytime ((( and same with unlocked bootloader.... I had mine for 2 weeks. Now I wonder if its common issue with N5X... Did you send your to repair???

This just occurred on my phone. Working just fine with 80% battery. Started GMaps to get some directions. Hung for a couple of seconds then just turned off. Won't respond to button pushes and won't go into recovery mode either. It's like the phone is dead dead.

All these threads about 5xs dying. I guess I better really start saving for a op3t. ? I've had mine a year and it's been fine but from what I've gathered from reading, someone said that's when they usually bite it is a year+... ?

Not sure if it has anything to do with it or not but I never leave mine plugged in all night. I zap it an hour and roll out... Always scared it would melt for some reason..lol
