Hello and Welcome to FixYa!
Well, it seems like either bad charging connection. Look, sometimes, it happen, that as soon as you plug in the charger, the charging indication starts showing that the device is under charging mode, but in real its not. You can say, that the charging animation showing on the screen is fake. Secondly, it could be due to bad charging IC in worst case, or can be due to weak battery (in most cases), And to rectify the problem, first you need to try charging the battery with some other OEM charger, Secondly do make sure that there is no carbon deposition on the battery terminals. If the problem still persists, then either the charging IC or the battery is the bottle neck of the trouble. Hope, now you get a wider picture on how to deal with the scenario.

Have a nice day,

Concerned.

My htc incredible s won't charge, I've tried

It sounds like the charging port on your phone is broken. This could have happened a number of ways. Either by dropping your phone, putting the charger in wrong, or taking it out wrong. If you call HTC(866-449-8358) and it is still under warranty they will probably fix it for free as long as it doesn't have any water damage(http://www.ehow.com/how_4479971_check-cell-phone-water-damage.html). Otherwise you could also get a new phone.

Battery will not charge

There are only three likely solutions.

1. The charge port on your phone is broken (Most likely)
2. The battery has reached a thermal cutoff and will no longer accept a charge.
3. The charger cable is bad.

If you can try another battery or put that battery into another phone you can isolate that problem. If you can charge something else with your charger then your charger workers.

If that still doesn't work then plug the charger into your phone and lightly press on the charger. If your phone springs to life it means the charge port is likely suffering from a poor connection. If this is the case then sadly there is nothing you can do unless you're very good at soldering.

Motorola cellular w376g, battery won't charge

If possible test with another charger like a car charger if you have one
also try removing the battery plug in the charger and put the battery back in (don't touch the contacts/gold pins)


if it works with other chargers then the charger is bad


if it doesn't work with other chargers charging port/battery/phone is bad

My device won't charge

This situation sometimes occurs when the batteries get overcharged. Use the phone for a day and then attempt to charge. If it still won't charge, remove the battery for about a minute. Then re-install the battery and attempt to charge. If that doesn't clear the problem, you may need to get a new battery.

I have had my iphone less than a week- i did not expect it to have problems so soon. .... i have iphone 2g my battery ran out now it wont recharge or turn back on? .... but it doesn't turn on, it...

If your iPhone's battery runs very far down, the iPhone won't turn on. That's because it's using its remaining battery life to preserve your data and settings.So, your iPhone could be refusing to turn on because its battery doesn't have enough juice. In that case, plug your iPhone into a wall charger or into your computer (plug it directly into the computer; some USB ports on keyboards don't have enough power to charge iPhones). Let it sit for 10-20 minutes. If it was low on battery and needed a charge, when it's got enough juice to power the screen, it will turn on and show you its charging status, starting with the red battery icon.During this process, you may also want to make sure there's no lint packed into your cable or the iPhone's dock connector. This isn't a hugely common problem, but a lot of pocket lint could interfere with the iPhone getting a charge.

My motoriola defy phone wont charge it has been at 0% charge all morning.

Hello and welcome to FixYa;

Take out battery, clean off the battery and gently clean off the terminals. Put battery back in and try to charge again with your charger. If this doesn't help;

Try another charger to the phone such as a car charger if you have one. If the battery still will not charge;

you may need to get another battery. I suggest you go into your local service provider first, have them use one of their spare batteries that fit into your phone model and see if the battery will start charging.

If it doesn't, you need to have your phone itself looked at instead of the battery.

Try these steps before you spend money on replacing parts needlessly.

Let me know how this worked out for you. If my solution helped you, please rate this solution!
It doesn't cost anything and only takes a second, but it is greatly appreciated.
