so strange, i think this is not a fault of battery, because lithium polymer battery is really long lasting, have you connect your x1 to computer, please connect your x1 to charger and wait about 1 hour. but maybe it's the fault of mini usb port, can you sync your x1 before it happen? in your case, bring it up to guarantee service is the best solution, what did you do before the device turn off?
Leave it on the charger, it could take about 15 - 20 minutes to start charging if the battery completely died.
i used a wall charger, and a computer charger, still no luck...i wasnt doing anything, i was playing a game and shut the game off started browsing through the fone, and it just shut off after a few battery low warning sounds. but the red light goes on after a wall charger, but nothing when i try to turn it on, it doesnt turn on, and when i unplug it to try to turn the phone on, the side lights flash red...i have no idea whats goin on but i got the phone today and its pissing me off already i spent 680 on the phone for a peice of crap...

ah, you should keep it in the wall chager a bit longer, and don't use the computer charge at this time, when the battery complete die, you should keep it charge about 10 minutes before you can start it, don't worry, when you can see the flash light turn red, it's charging, wait a few minutes more, it's will work, just forget about it, go somewhere, when you comeback, push the power button:d

was had same problem.just leave it charged.i leave it charged into usb drive,and it needs 5h before he turn on.battery was completely dead,like probably you have too.just leave it charged throught the night.
Charge some time and then remove battery cover and try to reset. as u mentioned lights are flashing when u r trying to switch on so just reset.
The X1 of my colleague had the same problem and he had the battery replaced by the vendor, no questions asked as it was dead after only 2 days...

Hi, I got similar problem and I called the support guys.
They advised me to remove the battery and charge the phone for 30 min and charged with the battery for 1.5 hour.
He claimed is some 'internal battery' stuffs.
Anyway I tried and it works.
In addition, I charged the battery when the level hits a minimum of 20%.
So far so good
Good luck.

That Solution worked for me as well. I was in Germany with some navigation software to find my destination address. Than suddenly my phone died, I thought. So I was stuck somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
As title says, it wont charge. Tried using a PC and the regular charger. The notification LED is just flashing orange, then green and so on.
Bit of a SNES solution, but have you tried blowing in the USB socket, and blowing in the connector? If there is some fluff covering one of the terminals that will stop it charging.
Doesnt help. When I am connecting the charger, the notifiction LED lights up orange. And 10-20 seconds later it starts flashig green, orange, green, orange and so on.
If I start the phone, it says 0% battery, and if I set it to charge, it just shows 99%.

I had this problem. Have you installed any data monitoring apps?
No, WinLongLife must be the closest one.
I really need help.
Now the battery is all dead. Cant even preform a hard reset.
From the reports on here this seems to indicate a dead battery.

Consider how you have treated the battery when recharging.
It certainly sounds like a dead battery.
Have you allowed it to discharge on a regular basis?

I usually charge it at below 20%, but the in the last week, the battery has been very bad for some reason. So I would always have to charge it at 40-50% if I was going out or something, so it would last.

I have tried two different cables.
I take it that you have tried a wall charger.
Their output its higher than USB, but, if they don't work then you will have to change the battery.
HD2 charging problem
Sounds familiar to me!
I got a second battery (1500mAh), which won't charge when the phone is turned ON. The second I plug it in to a USB port I states 100% charged although the battery is at an arbitratry level. The weird thing is when the phone is turned OFF, the battery will charge normally !
I had the same blinking sequence during a road trip, when the HD2 was charging on the GPS stand, under direct sun.
When refreshed, the HD2 resumed charging.
For me it seems to be the impossibility of recharging - dead battery or hot battery (failsafe).
I had a similar problem..
When I connected the micro usb to the computer or the charger..it showed that my battery is filled..and thats it..so when i took it off my phone was dead..
And little later i found out that the trouble was in this lil metal-kinda things(dont kno how to call it) that connect the battery to the phone..and after i done the "battery off" reset(i was a total noob) several times one of those metal-like things was bent that it didnt touch the battery..then i carefully re-put the battery so its all connected..and it worked!

I can't believe I'm the 18th post and no one has suggested this.
Go to the battery settings...the easiest way is to click on the taskbar and then click on battery. Make sure that the check box is NOT checked next to "When phone is on, do not charge the battery......"
If that doesn't help you it may be useful to someone else. This was also a problem for me when I first got the HD2.

Well...I'm very sorry...you can rest assured that I won't bother you again.
Oh...one other thing...my response was to the OP...not to you.
When I'm at my desk (most of the day), I like to have my phone plugged in to keep the battery full. The vibrant has an annoying "feature" that will beep and pop up a window whenever the battery is full, which makes using it when plugged in difficult. Even once it's full, it will occasionally pop up again while I'm trying to do something on the phone. I know leaving it plugged in won't actually harm the battery, so I don't see this as being anything other than an annoyance.
Is there any way to disable this thing? They sell (or will soon sell) car and desk docks, and I can't imagine you're expected to deal with this popup every few min. while you have your phone in a dock. There must be some way to get around it.
Third thread in two days. No solution yet.search.
Did a title-only search for "battery". Only two relevant results in last 10 days, neither said no solution. Best answer from those threads was "I don't know".
try renaming the chargingwarning.qmg file to chargingwarning.qmg.backup in the /system/media and see what happens. I did this with the bootsamsung.qmg to get rid of the bootup animation
What file manager did you use? I just tried this with ES File Explorer and got "operation failed". I assume it's a permissions thing? The phone is rooted, but ES never asked for SU permission.
I was able to rename it with root explorer, which killed the notification beep. The window still pops up whenever it's plugged in, though. Can't wait for a stable, stripped down Froyo rom.

I like Android Mate. It's a nice multipurpose tool.
keeping your phone stored on the charger for an extended period of time is actually bad for the battery. lithium polymer packs like we have are pretty sensitive to overcharging. the last thing you want to have is your battery puff on you.

Mine pops up in the middle of the night while it is on the charger. Sorry, not going to make a 3am alarm to wake myself up to remove my phone from the charger (and then wake up for real at 7am with a not fully charged phone... )

nobody said you had to. im just saying that in general its advisable to remove the phone from the charger when the battery is done charging.. or as close to that time as possible. a few hours after its done wont make a significant difference. just dont leave it charging for 12 hours after its already full.
I thought the lithium ion batteries certified with ISO standards have a overcharge protection circuit?
I think its bad if overcharging is causing the battery to overheat, but I really doubt there is no overcharge protection for such a high end phone.
I've read in a couple places now that the phone actually stops charging once it reaches 100%, at which point it runs off of the battery until unplugged and plugged back in. The "Battery Full" message then would be to say that there's no reason to keep the phone plugged in anymore. Since the phone is not drawing a current/charging anymore, there's no way the battery can be damaged by leaving it plugged in.
Downside is that you can plug the phone in at night, it'll be fully charged 2 hours in, then discharge for 6 hours before you even wake up.
I'll see if I can find the discussions on this.
I don't believe that is correct, I plug the phone in at night before bed and unplug it in the morning and it has a full charge.
Trying the rename now. Will post if it fixes the popular. But may only change the alert noise. I keep my phone off or on silent at night.
These phones have lithium ion batteries over charging is not an issue.

This is not the solution. This makes the full battery image go away when the phone is off, making it seem stalled. The pop-up notification remains.

QMG files are the 3d/2d renderings used when the phone is off or when booting up. the fully charged notification is text and thus not a QMG. To fix this you need a custom rom or a specialized app to disable it as it is in the source code.

This is not true. There isn't a lithium ion/polymer device battery that can be damaged by staying on the charger. The charging circuitry switches from constant current charger when the battery is mostly full to constant voltage charging. After reaching a predefined max voltage the charging stops. Overcharging is not only bad for lithium based batteries, but rather they can explode. So, it would be impossible to have something on the market that didn't intelligently stop charging (unless of course you are buying things from flea markets in china).
In fact, if you want the longest life out of your battery you will keep it as fully charged as possible. Lithium based batteries are primarily limited by number of charge/discharge cycles (approx 300 and it also depending on load requirements, i.e. less for high load devices like laptops) and secondarily by age. Keeping it charged is the best way to go.
Samsung support told me on Twitter it was not configurable. I told them to have their software team make it disableable in the 2.2 update.
I'm sure they'll get right on it, just like they did with the GPS issue... and the compass issue... and the accelerometer issue... and the stalling issue...
can it be done...its annoying when it makes the noise and lights up when im asleep
What annoys me more is that it appears to stop charging once it's full. So by the time I wake up and unplug it in the morning, my battery widget tells me I'm only at 95%
thats crappy...but anyone know the answer to my question?
The noise can be disabled by turning off the screen tap noise in settings under Sounds and Display (you'd be surprised at how unnecessary that noise really is - it's a much quieter experience without it - and I daresay even slightly faster, though your brain tends to think the phone is waaay faster with the noise response, as it gives you something to react to instantaneously.) However, the notification will still cause the screen to turn on for a few seconds. No way to change that without root.
Actually, this is a big problem for me..
I changed the setting for when plugged in, so that the screen stays on.. So I kinda use it as a bedside clock..
The beep and the notification are 100% annoying.. It has woken me up in the middle of the night.. I HAVE turned down the sound, but for some reason, the screen tapping noise has returned to full volume on it's own a number of times.
But the WORST part, is that IT DOES STOP CHARGING YOUR PHONE AFTER THE NOTIFICATION COMES UP! I just unplugged my phone after charging all night, getting the FULL CHARGE notice, and it is at 96% (according to Battery Status Pro and Battery Monitor).. Yesterday, it was at 95%. If I charge it and unplug it right after I get the notification, then the phone is 100%. I think I lose a lot of power since I have the screen stay on when plugged... So now that it is done charging, my screen stays on using battery power for an hour or 2 while I am still sleeping (while plugged in). But why does the power still not trickle in even after being fully charged??
This needs to be fixed!!

Are you using the cable or the dock? Curious cause the dock doesn't stop charging the phone when its full. I haven't used the stock cable cause it doesn't really charge the phone at all when plugged into the computer. I killed the phone last night (takes surprisingly long from 6%) and it charged just fine last night. I'm hoping the phone realizes there's more juice than it thinks there is. It was at 0% alone playing youtube videos for like 10 minutes. I finally killed it with a 3d game.

I am using the cable plugged into the AC adapter. I haven't purchase a dock yet.. Waiting for the dock that sits higher up on the desk/table.
Yes, I definitely noticed the same thing.. When the phone gets down to 10%, it can take an hour or 2 to get to 5%... and I can still use the phone and watch videos till it gets to 1%... Basically, as you said, it is not reading the juice right.
As far as the phone not charging once it gets to 100% goes. This is definitely true. It seems that it will stop charging, but once the phone drops to a certain % it will resume charging... I'm not sure why it does this, seems kind of dumb. But you can see it happening on this chart. Look closely at the Charging portion
I don't think the widgets are reading the battery right. I am getting the "battery full" notification when my widget says 94%-97%. I charge it while I am at work so it is right next to me. From 12pm-5pm it was full and did not change from "95%" with the notification light staying blue the entire time.
It doesn't seem so much that the phone is quitting the charge and burning through 5% of the battery overnight.
The phone seems to consider 95%+ full...or the widget is not accurate.
This morning I woke up to the phone at 95% with the blue light.
Unplugged, plugged back in and it continued to charge till 97% then blue light again.
Unplugged, plugged back in and it continued charge for a couple minutes then blue light again.
I love the phone, but I hate this problem... I really hope someone fixes this soon, especially after we get custom ROMs!
Also noticed that the phone says battery full even though the battery widget states 95% or 97%. I have a generic Galaxy S on ATT with the same battery widget, never a problem, always shows 100% upon recharging.
Otherwise, this version seems much faster overall than the generic Galaxy S. Both get decent battery life - approximately a day and a half to almost two days on a charge. Certainly better than the Nexus One.

I don't find this an issue at all. I think its rather healthy for the battery to discharge a bit. Its worse to keep it plugged in at 100% all the time.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
They set it up to discharge on the charger after it hits 100% so it doesn't over charge the battery. My palm pre did the same thing the only difference was they had a gui battery level that read 4% different then the actual battery level for this reason so when it was on charge and said 100% it would cycle down to 95% then back up to 100% while showing 100% battery to you through the phone menu the entire time.
What I think is the most annoying is that the screen stays on. I haven't heard it yet, but I'll wake up and check my phone and I see the notification that the battery is full and the screen is on. I don't know how the life on those super AMOLED screens are, but I'm sure that leaving the display on for hours every night is detrimental.
I turn my phone off at night when I charge. I must sleep heavy because I have not seen or heard what you guys are talking about. I use the AC adapter.

I can't say I've had this problem - the screen shuts off automatically after 10-20 seconds. You might be waking up as soon as the screen pops on?
Also, keep in mind folks, to turn off the sound, under Settings, Sound and Display, disable "Audible Selection", and the noise won't appear again.
A fix like this, I suppose?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748400
It's a good effort, but reading the thread, a fresh, zero-touchwiz rom might be the only real answer.
I am not sure what I'll do. Plug it in to the wall adapter and cover it up? Easy, but if I do that, the dock is going back to Sprint. I have the travel dock/spare battery, so I could swap in a full battery to get the notification out of the way, but that seems... retarded.
This is really annoying to me.
Charging notification PROBLEM SOLVED !
PROBLEM SOLVED ! NO COST !
I saw this suggestion in another forum and it WORKS, so I'm passing it on !
Set the global notifications to SILENT.
Set the notification on Gmail to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.
Set the notification on messaging to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.
You'll still have a tone when you 1st plug the phone in to the charger, but NO tone when it's fully charged.
I don't mind the discharge the problem but it discharges too much. I woke up once with the battery full message, hit ok only to see my battery was at 87%. Anyone know if charging ever kicks back in once it discharges down to a certain point? Babysitting your phone charging pattern is kind of counter productive.

Try pulling the battery out. that should fix it.
I am having this same problem, I've taken the battery out multiple times and tried to do resets but nothing happens. It stays off and only the LED blinks green when I press the power button.

What build are you running? Did you just do the update?
Plug to wall charger.
Same thing happened to me the other day. It's probably because your battery is drained. Plug into a wall charger and let it charge for at least 30 minutes.
Haha thank you guys. I had it plugged into my laptop all night like I do every night to charge. I guess it didnt work. Plugged it into the wall and the screen popped right on. Thanks again!

First of all, your reply has no useful information whatsoever, second, when the device works just fine for month while plugged in into computer then one morning it doesn't wake up, what do you expect people do? And why in the world would it matter for a good built phone that charges through USB matter if it's plugged in into computer or a wall charger? - it's nonsense...
In fact, there are many other phones that even if the battery dead it would work when plugged in into computer, even removing battery wouldn't shut it down.
In Atrix case if battery died you have to find a wall charger, then wait 30 minutes? seriously? - well done, Motorola, well done!

It's not nonsense. USB can only provide 500mA of current, wall chargers pretty much can double or triple that. That's why it takes ages to charge any phone over USB compared to a wall charger.
First of all, why are you digging up this relic of a thread? The comment you're responding to is from 4 months ago.
Second of all, @CaelanT is right, sometimes people panic unnecessarily. It happens. And his comment does offer something useful, it's a reminder that sometimes it can be the simplest of things that will resolve your issue.
Third of all, @turl1 is correct about the mA output, that's just common sense, though some newer computers are capable of 1Amp of output.
Have a nice day.

well in my case i had a full battery
it didnt even take me 20 secons for it to pop right up....
what happen was that one battery was basically dead... put it in n nothing, put in the full battery n nothing...
so put in fill battery n pop it in the wall socket n wwollah.. pops right up..
ANOTHER THING... I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND CHARGING FROM A COMPUTER!
was charging mine since day n battery was at 100 n withing 2 hrs it was literally dead n my battery is brand new....
so ye, basically goto train it again...
and as much as possible...USE UR ORIGINAL CHARGER !!!
