I have a lot of battery issues lately... For info I have my xt720 for 1year and 3mouth i buy right after motorola release it
So if that can help someone...:
This is my first post with my first battery "blackout"...
My phone is dead !!!!
i don t know what to do!
It don t want to charge anymore
This morning i notice it wasn t fully charge after going out but i came back before it die so I plug it i had about 10% left
5min after it make me some no battery alarm ( 3 or 4) like if the phone was not plug anymore i replug it. it works but without moving it it stop charging
It reboot but with 5% battery and die
Now i can t boot anymore
Sometimes my led light but it never boot...
I hope it s only my usb cable or my electric plug that is causing it but i don t think so since i don t touch it when it stop charging...
I don t know what to do!!
It was my only phone...
The next day:
My phone come back to life after one night without battery...
Don t ask me why but this morning it charges like always....
I think its a motorola ota update... loool it s time to change !!!
The evening of the same day i plug it as always (it works well all the day) and not any problem
but this morning (the next day morning) my phone was out (black screen and not any reaction when power on or when pluging it...)
I remove the battery about 10minutes then i plug it and it works (it take about 1hour to start but the battery was totally empty so this is normal)
I m not sure what i m going to do right now...
I think the battery is the problem but i can t be totally sure.....
I hope the nexus prime will be release soon and worldwide...
I m going to try the new Mz CM7 and a battery calibration but i don t believe......

You re kidding!
I will search for this tomorrow thanks!
(If you remember the sellor......)
So I remember this from another thread yesterday and I had a similar problem. However my wifes is a bit different. Riddle me this. Her USB port is either not reading or not connecting. I checked her pins and plugged in my phone (works fines). I even went to /system/app/usb.apk and reinstalled. I even jiggled it softly, then wildly and then softly again to no avail.
Any ideas? We can take it in to CBW but man I hate that place with a passion. Would love for it to be something I can fix myself. At this point, i have to charge her battery in my phone and then swap them out until she either gets it fixed or replace the whole damn phone. I spent most of the night backing up her stuff last night (for some reason cannot do a nandroid of /system, data, cdrom, cache, cust or ext. Not sure what is the problem with that. She has 2.1 with app2sd script (much like ESB only not app2ext but rather app2sd)
This has happened to me a few times and freaked me out a little. Rebooting the computer (not the phone) worked, though. I think the USB stack on the desktops/laptops must get confused sometimes. It was even phone specific. One phone would work and the other wouldn't. After reboot both worked again. I feel myself becoming more and more superstitious.

Thanks MZ but it was never plugged into the computer. The charger wouldn't even register plugged in.

Only other idea I have is swapping batteries to see if there's a chance the problem is there... that sucks. Sounds like what happenesld to HM.

Did that. Actually swap hers into my phone to charge it up and then put mine back. Sucks b/c she is a stay at home mom, so she needs her phone. Seems to me to be a hardware issue. Maybe something connecting the usb port to the phone. Short or bad wire or something like that. She's going to CBW to day to do battle.
if it's really a USB port problem, or lose contacts in the USB of the phone
you can always charge it with an external charger

Our carrier replaced it with a Nexus S, so I might be hitting you up for some suggestions. Easye420 mentioned that you turned him on to some things over there. I'll root it and unlock the bootloader tonight and check it out, then probably PM you.
The problem with ebay and all the internet sellors is that i will have to wait for 2 or 3 weeks to get it....
I will have to quickly go to Paris during the lunchtime (i hope i will find one)
For the info last news of my dying battery...
Now it can t boot with out being plug....
But when it s on then the battery always stay at 0%(I never see the 0 before my battery issue) even after 3 or 4 hours of charge
but a little bit fun when i plug it i have the battery charging animation and it show me that my battery is fully charged...
The end of the story...
I just get my new battery (a standard motorola the same as the stock) (cheap and very fast to get if there is someone having battery problem on Paris... let me know by pm)
and I think everything is coming back to normal...
I m not sure yet cause the battery% is acting weird but i think it s the calibration
When i first plug it it show me 50% after a boot it shows 0% but it was charging...
After another reboot it was at 90%....
My moto is making fun of me!!!
But i think everything will come back to normal after a full charge and discharge...
I will let you know

So you change it???
Did you make it work with charged battery???
I changed my battery and my phone don t boot anymore again
The first day i changed the battery it worked well i fully charge it and to calibrate it well i fully discharged it (until the phone shut down)
But now it don t want to charge again!!
When i plug it was booting at the beginning but after the boot it show 0% of battery and shut down after 10seconds
I test it 4 or 5 times and now it don t boot anymore
When i plug it sometimes it show me the animation with 50% of battery but it never move and shut down after max 5minutes (and now even this never happened)
I was asking myself about buying a battery charger like you say allgamer but i m not sure if that will work or if it s really broken
Now it don t have any reaction no matter what i try........
I don t know what to do i was waiting for the nexus prime but it will not shown up until at least 2 mouth (maybe more in France)
I think i read one time a guy who connect the power wire of an usb cable directly on the battery to charge it... It was a milestone battery i think (but its the same for the xt720)
Someone know something about that???
I m trying to recharg it only by connecting the wire to the battery...
We ll see... I don t have other solution for the moment (I try it before buying a battery charger)
I did this (bottom left)

After 1hour of "this way" charging
It seems to have charge but just a little (even if i plug it to the charger and not to usb. It is a lot faster when charging the phone)
I can boot it but it still don t charge (i was hoping it will charge again after the battery get a little more juice)
I have plug it another time i will let it charge for 3 or 4 hour it should let me boot and use it a little more i hope....
I had the same battery problem.
I did the same trick to boot up to flashing mode, and flash back to stock sbf.
After that, battery manage to recharge.

I charge it for 3 or 4 hours and it boot without a problem (even if it show 0% battery again) I was able to go to bootloader or recovery but that s not my problem i just need to charge it and it don t want....
I think i m gonna buy a external battery charger. But that sucks it s about 50€ (i already spent 20€ for a battery...) and i m not sure that it will work...
What ROM do you have installed? I think some on the recent CM7's replace the charge_only_mode with a reverse-engineered non-motorola one.

I don t even try this.... It really seems to be a hardware problem
I m backing up my old 6.3 right now...
edit i hope you re right but it don t want to charge even when in the system... I mean after the boot i can play a little bit before the system shutdown and it don t charge even when it s power on...
It s still booting (i hope i m not in a bootloop i don t have the battery for...)
edit 2: the battery last enough to boot but it s the same...
Im gonna buy an external battery charger tomorrow.... I don t have any other choice...
Hi,
I just bought a 2nd hand infuse 2 weeks back. I was using the stock GB for a while, and the phone was restarting sometimes. To fix this and get ICS features, I rooted and moved to the ICS CM9 ROM. Still the restarting didn't go away. I flashed everything before installing the rom. So, I guess this can't be an issue with either of the roms but probably something else. Also, when the restart happens the battery gets drained significantly.
After some searching, I saw in some threads that memory issues can do this or probably a bad app (I only have popular apps only though). I was wondering is there a way whether I can some info to debug the problem, when this restart happens?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
It might not be a ROM issue but a faulty power button. The are several threads on this. You may want to search "power button".

Hmmm, the power button seems to work alright. But if the power button is always pressed, I shouldn't be able to press it again and make it function properly, right? All the functions of the power button seem to be doing OK, i.e. menus pop up and it puts the phone to sleep mode, etc.
Is there anything more I can check to confirm that it is not the power button?
Is there a way to get a thread dump or any other log at the time of restart?
A few more details -
- I believe it goes to a boot loop when it restarts (loops from the cm logo back to samsung
- goes to a charge loop if I connect to a charger
- long holding the power button at this time restarts the phone and brings it back to normal
- I notice it happens a lot at the lock screen, but it happens at other times too,still to figure out a pattern

I have the exact same problem. Please let me know what you and people come up with.
Battery drops at least 4 or 5% after those random reboots.
I put liquid smooth JB on the infuse and was able to reduce the reboots to maybe 1 or 2 a day but the battery drain is still insane. from full to empty in 7 hours (but the battery usage says 17hrs, so please dont be confused, its really only 7hrs), texting, checking emails but nothing else. no music, or gps or anything that it intense.
The battery usage shows a constant battery drain, everything is at either 5 or 10% usage, except the screen which is at 42 - 60%

Any ideas?
I've managed to get some logs when this happens using alogrec (attached). I haven't worked with the dalvik kernel or android apps much to understand what is going on.
I hope someone would be able to go through them and pick up something. My knowledge on the subject is not enough to pick whether anything is wrong here.
Also, I noticed sometimes the battery drops from around 30% to a whooping 5% when this happens. So, maybe this is a faulty battery problem??

I ordered a new battery and hope that this will fix the problem, if anyone knows anything else please let me know. the battery is only 1 year old.
I had similar symptom (reboot followed by battery indicating lower) once when I had applied too much undervoltage applied.
I've had the same things happen with my phone.
1) the huge drops in battery isn't an actual drop. 99% of the time if you don't plug in a charger the battery will start 'charging' on it's own until it gets to the right amount.
2) just because the power button works doesn't mean there isn't something wrong. The infuse is notorious for messed up power buttons. There is a thread around here somewhere about fixing it. I've not done it because I managed to get things under control.
3) I've noticed that the reboots seem to occur more frequently when a large number of apps ( popular or not) are installed, or apps that are resource intensive. For instance I bought minecraft because my daughter has become adducted to it. Sometimes its fine other times it freezes and reboots. My solution is to only keep apps I use on my phone. I will most likely uninstall minecract until a later date.
4) For me smaller ROMs work better. The current slimrom works the best for me. Also finding time to remember to reboot my phone once a day no matter how it is running helps.
I'm down to a reboot every one or two days now. Unless I try to play minecraft. I blame those damn creepers. Good luck!

OK so my reboots were because of my power button, I sent it in to mobiletech and they repaired it.
Now it's fixed and I have not had a single reboot.

Numa on system 1
Had battery issues so I drained it completely, and charged it to 100%
Will not boot, recovery, fastboot, nothing. no LED's light up, no buttons light up.
Only reaction is white LED flashes w/o battery in while plugged into wall.
and steady white LED when plugged into computer.
Is it really dead, after I did nothing?
I sorry friend ... but from what i have been reading .. i think your phone might be hard bricked
Someone please tell me how charging a phone can brick it. Im biting my tongue not going off on Motorola's BS crappy ass phones right now.
Please any insight would be great while I shop for a new phone.
Screw it. atrix bricked. Hated that phone anyways.
Bye Bye Motorola. You've lost a customer for life.
Hello HTC One S for 100 bucks.
Good luck guys.
if anyone needs a parts phone let me know.
I guess the battery is dead. Your phone is not hard bricked.

So, what happened between the time it charged to the time when I shut off and wouldn't reboot?
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

nothing, I pulled it off the charger, and immediately tried to turn it on. didnt work. then I started my diagnosing, by attempting to get into bootloader, connect to computer, wall, pull battery and attempt those again, and then I got white light.

Oh, I see. So you charged it while the phone was off then. That is weird. I've never heard of that before. I wonder if the battery is bad.

Yea, charged while off. started at 0%, checked about hour later was around 30%, another hour at 90, little later checked was at 100%. Pulled off and then the issue came.
Just got back from testing with voltmeter. got nothing outta it. no affect on meter at all. Ohms were still good which proves there was no short.
Im dumbfounded as to how it completely killed the battery while the phone stated it was charging.
Gonna get a new battery and go from there. Might sell it, might give it to mother. we'll see.
Thanks guys for getting me to attempt more after I gave up. but now its time to finish hacking the One S
White LED light means there is not enough battery juice to boot the phone.

Team Blackhat
Since you are in the US your best bet is to get factory programming adapter / cable from Team Black Hat (Google it) & you will mostly restore your phone to life ( I wish we could get it in India). Else if in warranty claim it (microwave trick maybe to get a claim if it black hat stuff doesnt work out.
From what I read of Black hat and also of my soft brick personal experience due to bmm logwrapper vs A2bootstrap issue I know for a fact that my battery had enough juice but my RSD failed at step 13 or 14 so I cant say fxz will always save a moto user and black hat also acknowledges this that sometimes the phone wont let you fxz and thats where their product is a life saver. Cant comment why your phone went kaput. Check it out bro. All the best.

The Mcgruvyer method has been around for long but I am not comfortable doing it lest fry my phone literally for good due to shoddy workmanship by myself. Also what I mentioned is a option which allows to fxz phone with no battery inserted physically,but good to receive additional info.

I think some IC may be damaged on the motherboard. If you have a warranty then please take your phone to service centre.

First off, you need to take a deep breath and calm down. If no one has answered, then it's either they don't know the answer (you do really want them to answer "I don't know how to help you. Sorry.") or just wait until someone reads it and thinks they know the issue.
Now, a couple of questions:
1 .What image did you flash the modem from? Need the full image name.
2. Did you use the correct image for your phone? Again, answer from question 1 will help.
I would suggest it's time to grab the correct image for your phone and flash the full image. Then next time, instead of flashing modem, do a clear dalvik and cache first. Then, if that doesn't work, do a Factory Data Reset, which that usually cures the issue.
But, at this time, you're only recourse is to flash a full stock image back to your phone to ensure you didn't corrupt anything. If that doesn't work, then I'd say you probably flashed the wrong image somewhere and bricked your phone. If a full factory image flash doesn't work, then you definitely bricked your phone and there's not much else we can do to help.
Sir it was one of the modem from razr hd toolkit there are 4 or 5 i think.after flashing that modem i changed firmware to rsrd that is used before upgrading to kitkat.firmware flashed succesfuly&i was recieving sms then i decided to flash retail brazil while doing so in rsd lite it gave error on 7/22 i repeated once again error then i tried to fastboot again but screen didnt turn on afterwards till now.
As you suggested to flash a new rom but how can i flash phone dont turn on,no fastboot,no recovery menu,phone dont connect through adb or rsd lite.tried many combinations of power plus volume up down but nothing.only if i put it on charging green light blinks and that is all.
You may be perma-bricked then. This is why when flashing you have to ensure you flashing the correct images for your phone as well as the correct version. Not doing so can cause the situation you are in.
There might be another way to fix it, but I have no idea and will leave it to someone else to hopefully help if they know of a way to fix it. If not, your only recourse is to turn the phone in for a swap. If it's still under warranty, you might be able to get another one swapped out.
I have no other help to offer, unfortunately.
Good luck!

I checked with multimeter i think point 3 is 5V wire but if i connect point 3 to point 4(empty) nothing happens on phone screen just green led stops blinking which otherwise blinks always when i connect any usb with charger or latop.

well the point of the factory adapter has nothing to do with the battery, infarct, it bypasses the battery altogether.
so you trying to hook the cables to the battery, missed the entire point of the adapter.
if the phone is not totally bricked, it should boot right into fastboot when you plug it in.
use google to find a place to fix it.
This wire attached to my phone battery was broken when i tried to open phone the wrong way.i didnt open the 2 screws on bottom but just seprated from kelvar side.di i need to replace battery or this connection wire can be repaired?by the way phone is still nonfunctional doesnt go to fastboot or recovery it is dead just green led blinks when i attach charger.
This trouble started about a month ago. The phone was rooted but I unrooted, factory wiped and then did the ota update last week. The trouble did not go away, unfortunately.
If I am using the phone, and plug the charger in, after a couple seconds it will immediately power off and go to the green charging screen. If I try and power on from there, it will power off again around the time the blu animation plays. Sometimes, it will get to "Android is starting.... Optimizing apps (number) of (number)" It won't get very far into that before it shuts down again. My girlfriend also has a Pure XL and I get the same result when trying to use her charger.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks!
edit: SOLVED!
Here is what happened: When I first got this device in december, I rooted it the day after it arrived. A week or so later, the phone randomly got stuck in a boot loop. No amount of button presses and or holds helped. The only thing i could think to do was a battery pull. As I was pulling the battery, I tore the ribbon cable in half. Within an hour I had soldered in some kynar to patch the tear. It booted right up and charged no problem at all and didn't give me any trouble until these recent charging issues. Tonight I decided to open it up and check the connections again. Lo and behold, a solder joint had failed in the center (thinnest) part of the patch job. I de-soldered everything, cleaned up the old solder, split the cable up and was able to do a much better patch job this time around. Everything is up and running just like new again. Thank you folks for helping me troubleshoot.
For anyone wondering what the heck I am talking about, here is an image of a similar ribbon cable patch job. This ribbon has 6 tracks. The Pure XL battery only has 3.:

load up app called ampere; and see if its an over current or voltage problem

just over 4 volts when charging. max went to 2970ma then dropped to about 2600 before it shut off again. battery temp was right at 30 degrees c.

All that seems within spec;
Id try reloading the rom using spflash tool (read the unbrick thread, its full of information)
or if that seems too major of undertaking, maybe pull some adb logcats and see what exactly is causing the reboot

Yeah I rooted it again for logcat access. I used an app called catlog to see the logs (in real time?) Will checking the logs via adb show me the stored logs and hopefully whats happening just before crash?
At what point after powering the phone on does it actually start logging?

Logcat should start logging as soon as its service starts, which is early in the booting stage so it should be logging everything that the system spits out while the phone is booting up and while running.
If you know exactly what to look for and how to troubleshoot Android systems, then you can try to debug the issue yourself. If you don't, just post the log(s) and let someone experienced and helpful check it out. Logs should be the files stored in /dev/log.

Something I've wondered about soldering on those flex cables, does the soldering iron melt the plastic, I've got a few things that could be fixed if I had the balls to try it
Of the admittedly few flex cables I have soldered on, I can't recall the plastic ever melting. I always use some kind of blade to scrape the top layer and expose the metal tracks underneath. If they are really small and or close together, carefully cutting the plastic between the tracks can make the job easier as you can individually lift and solder them one at a time.
Hey. I'm having a similar issue with my phone. How do you get the cable out for the battery? I just purchased this phone with issues from someone and it looks like they tried to remove the battery and I'm having similar issue to you but I'm not able to get the battery out and I don't want to destroy the cable. Thanks.
How do you remove the battery?
