Re: Android almost bricked my battery/phone

Later I disconnected it for about 30 mins and came back and reconnected it after noticing the battery indicator was not running.

Showed it was charging. I started playing frozen bubble and after a good 15 minutes the screen went blank.

BTW, Im a noob not an elite, and your post is detrimental to the development of this port.

The led was still on and no responce. Not even the reset worked. So I unplugged took out the battery and waited about 10 seconds and pluged the battery back in. BRICK.

Now this is with the extended battery. I still had my standard battery and it worked just fine.

I waited another minute to two and tried the extended battery again. Working fine now and recharged in windows.


Now I don't know how this glitched. It wasn't a thermal shutdown because it was barely warm. I have no explaination but makes me think I shouldn't charge with droid just yet.
This is exactly why people that cant read shouldn't play with their phones... If your not willing to read the thread that you download from... DONT DONLOAD FROM IT!!! That includes flashing roms, playing with android, and even installing the simpelest of cabs. If you dont know anything about it, dont use it!!!

Anyway, like Mackie said, you cant charge your phone while in Android yet. the orange/ green light is only for diagnostic purposes. Orange means your phone is awake and green means you phone is completly asleep.

All that happened is you completly drained your battery. So... charge your phone for like 5 minutes so it actually has enough power to turn on and your phone will be fine. Meanwhile, in that 5 minutes that your phone is charging, I suggest that you go th the forum that you downloaded from and READ!!!!!!!!!

The mere topic of your thread is enough to make others not want to try this amazing port of Android OS.

By the way, everyone in the Android Development Forum is extremly helpful. You could have asked "What is up with my phone?" in that thread and someone would have been glad to help you. There was really no need for you to create a new thread.

And my frustration is that you thought it necessary to start a new thread for your battery problem. If all of us did that................ ya know what... never mind.
