hi. i just got a really old nexus 5x.
the battery has expanded ( or swelled). it was left unused for a couple of months.
i removed the battery by opening up the device.
well, before removing the battery, when connected to the charger, only a "charging battery" icon was showing on the screen. no percentage. phone didn't boot up, if power button is pressed, "android" icon appeared, then again "battery icon".
after removing battery, i connected the charger.
same result. doesn't boot up. "android" icon appeared when power button is pressed, then back to "charging battery" icon
i pressed "vol down+power", it took me to recovery menu.
(doesn't have a custom recovery though, everything stock)
i might have a new battery tomorrow
but is the phone dead? or it just doesn't bootup because no battery?
(i assume the older battery is completely dead)

Anyone have a an issue where the phone is stuck on the white charging symbol (phone is off) and u cant turn the phone on w/o a battery pull? I've tried d/c and connecting the usb but the symbol is still there. LTE Galaxy Nexus
Any ideas?
I had it once, but I did not have to battery pull. I waited for the white battery icon to go away, and then held the power button like normal until it vibrated. It seems to not like to boot until the battery icon is gone.
Hey, I have a problem with an old HTC Desire of my brother: Yesterday the phone was charging and then just crashed. When i power it on, the HTC-screen appears and just after that the screen turns black. Then I have to pull out the battery to be able to do this again.
The screen flickers when the bootscreen is displayed an gets darker before it goes finally black. I think the battery is empty, because the pins in the charging socket are twisted, so I think the battery wont get charged.
If I press the back button and power this menu appears, but then the phone also shuts down. If I press volume down and power the bootscreen appears but the phone turns off before I can see the bootloader
ROM: Cyanogenmod 7
S-Off, Root
What do you think? My brother says that the phone was almost fully charged when it crashed, but when I plug in the charger now the LED normaly shing red is not on..
Edit: I managed to get to the cyanogenmod screen, but then it turned off. Im pretty sure it is the battery
Any help?
I just received a used Tab S 10.5 from a reputable Ebay supplier. It didn't turn on initially so I plugged in the charger and it showed a solid gray battery icon with a solid white lightning bolt. I assume that means it's fully charged. Still wouldn't turn on with the power button so I tried holding the power and volume buttons together. I'd get a short vibration after 6 or 7 seconds and the battery icon would go off but it wouldn't start. I finally got it to start (not sure what I did differently) but now it has been stuck on the Samsung Tab S opening screen for several minutes. I tried turning it off with the power button but holding it down for about 10 seconds had no effect so I let it go and the logo screen stayed on.
Before I contact the supplier for a refund or exchange I would like to know a few things. Are the Samsung Galaxy Tabs finicky about turning on? Any known issues with power buttons? What's the proper procedure with the power button alone doesn't work? I've seen both power + volume down and power + volume up.
Update 30 min after original post: my assumption about the battery icon was incorrect. I tried turning it on again it worked and the battery showed 3%. I started the setup but just connecting to my network drained the battery down to 0% (even though it's plugged into the charger) so it shut off. At least I know now I'll have to wait a few hours.

Since the issue has been resolved (and was due to inadequate information on my part rather than a problem with the tablet), I am asking the moderator to remove this thread.
Hello, Huawei gadget friends.
My watch started to go in to a "low power boot loop" a week ago so I left it alone hoping a full drain would restore it back to working condition, but alas not.
So now this is the situation:
1) press button, nothing happens
2) connect to power shows the charging icon (white battery with power sign) and then after a few mins commences a boot loop as follows
3) from the charging icon, then gives the "Device software can't be checked for corruption..." message
4) followed by the red Huawei logo, then a single vibrate and then back to step 3 above
5) removing the watch from the charger stops the boot loop but then shows the low battery icon (white battery with one bar).
In one or two occasions, I saw it boot up to the colorful spinning 4 android wear logo, but did not complete (did not show "Android Wear" before rebooting again.
I have tried getting it to recovery mode screen or fastboot but without success -- I keep getting the second buzz without fail.
When the beta of 1.5 came out, I tried it, but since then, have wiped my mac and don't have the adb/fastboot software anymore. From reading the forums, there is now some new software called TWRP. Please advise what I can do.
Would I be right to suspect that it is some battery problem? Is it beyond help? :crying:
Thanks in advance!
MMM
Edit: I have also left it on for several hours charging (and rebooting constantly), thinking that perhaps it is just low battery -- but no success.
I'm experiencing the same problem, i turned it off yesterday at 17% and connected to the pc this morning to charge. I immediately noticed that it started looping with the white icon and it doesn't turn on, nor boots into download mode.
Have you found any way to restore it?
Mine doesn't show the red HW logo, charged for some hours and nothing.
I noticed that the pc see that there's something connected, but keeps saying "USB not recognized". I don't know what to do, i may open up and disconnect the battery
EDIT: SOLVED, it was just the cable that broke somehow. I soldered a new cable to the circular base but that didn't work, but as soon as i received this i connected to the pc and started pressing the button randomly till it showed the battery logo and started charging
I got this when I plugged it into my laptop. Plugging it into a dedicated USB charger solved my problem - I suspect the power rating on the USB socket wasn't high enough to charge effectively or that the USB socket is faulty in some other way. From what I understand, not all USB sockets are equal in that some are suitable for high-drain devices, some not so much. So trying another USB port on your computer may also help (Unfortunately at the time I was backing up to an external HDD on the other USB so that option wasn't open to me).
guyz, i have tried my method it actually worked on Xperia X Perfomance
When it goes to Bootloop for Drained battery, i just plug the cable and perform activity block method By pressing and holing power and both volume up and down and when it hits the 1st viberation i just simply release the key. (remember dont hold it too much long after 1st single viberation just release the keys ) and your phone will go to block activity mode. charging light will change it colors from red to blue.. after 2 minutes just press power button then you ll get another viberation and your phone will be seen as charged 2% and then it will be normal again...
i think it happens when battery drained and phone is unexpectedly trying to go boot in first place.
thank you
After I accidentally kind of put my thigh on the Rn5 pro, which has a rugged cover on it, my phone switched off showing the battery icon of the boot screen.
The battery was 18% earlier but now it was as if it was discharged. I connect my charger, the splash screen of mi shows up, then it goes into a kind of bootloop where the screen turns on and off alongwith the notification LED. Nothing appears on the screen.
I can't boot into recovery or fastboot. When I press either of the volume keys with the power button, same thing happens: screen turns on and turns off within a second. Repeating in continuous cycles.
Did I break my device?
UPDATE: I was able to access fastboot for only a second. I pressed down power and vol- and connected the charger. Fastboot screen appeared for a second and then again the device's screen went off, this time no bootloops. Same with recovery. I can't even get to the recovery screen, screen shuts off at the mi logo itself. No bootloops until I reconnect charger.
update 2: I am able to boot. But as soon as charger is removed, the screen goes off and the device switches off. It seems the battery is not connected in there.
