Charging issues- how do I know it's charging?

Just picked up my Droid X today. Turned it off, plugged it in to charge it. All that appears is the motorola symbol, but no battery icon or anything like shows up- then it disappears. So I unplug it, try to turn it on by pressing the power button, and all that appears is the motorola symbol, which again disappears. A little green light is flashing. Anybody got any idea what's goin on?

That's annoying. I just got it today. Any idea why it won;t turn back on? When I turned it off, the battery was orange, but it wasn't out
If your battery was orange that means it was under 15% if I recall correctly.  Also if it was that low already and you bought it today that means it didn't get a full charge.  Be careful as this is a sure fire way to ruin your battery.
Make sure you have it plugged into a wall charger, allow it to set on the charger for a few hours before you mess with it.  After a few hours on the wall charger it should fire up for you with no issues, once it turns on still give it a good 8 hours of solid charge time before you unplug it.
If your battery is completely dead, which is sounds like is the case, it won't register the green charging screen while plugged into the wall until it has enough of a charge.  I don't know what the magic % is that it starts showing that charging screen.

    OK i put my new Zen Sleek Photo on charge two hours ago. when will i know if its completed charging?, the charge symbol is currently blinking

    Hey i own a Zen MicroPhoto and I think all the symbols are the same. When its charges, the lightning bolt on the battery will stop and I think there would be like a plug thingo covering the battery.

  • 1st edition touch not charging. How do I get it to charge?

    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Is it connected to a USB port or power adapter that DID previously charge this iPod touch successfully? 
    When connected to a computer's USB port, does it power ON, and does it appear in iTunes (even though it does not appear to charge)?

  • How do I know it is fully charged?

    It's charging but how do I know when it is fully charged? Not a quick charge, but a full charge.

    The battery charge indicator will change from a lightening symbol to a plug symbol when charge reaches 100%

  • HT1476 How would I know when does the iPod touch completes charging?

    Since the iPod touch doesn't display a battery percentage, how would I know when the charging is completed? In iOS 6 and earlier there would be a plugged-in icon meaning that the device is charged, but in iOS 7 there is only one icon that can mean both charging or charged.

    Battery icons
    The battery indicator icon in the upper-right corner of the screen shows battery charging status and about how much charge is left in the battery. When connected to a power source, a small lightning icon will appear next to the battery icon:
    If the battery charge is very low, the device may display a black screen with an empty battery icon, indicating that the battery needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use the device. If the battery is extremely low on power, the device may display a black screen for up to two minutes before one of the low-battery images appears; continue to charge the unit for at least 30 minutes or until it is fully charged.
    Yes I already saw this article before and this doesn't help ansewering my question. For iOS 6 and earlier, there would be a lightning icon in the battery when it's charging. If it's charged then there would be a plugged-in icon in the battery. However, the lightnight icon besides the battery in iOS 7 stays the same all the time as long as it's plugged into the charger. So I have no idea when does it finishes its charging, as it doesn't even show battery percentage like iPhone does.

  • Nokia 2610-How do I know if the battery is fully c...

    Just got a Nokia 2610 phone.
    Plugged the charger in, and it's charging, but how do I know if it's fully charged?
    The battery symbol is still empty, but there are lines going up/down the screen (like a battery/or reception symbol)
    Is there any indication that the phone is fully charged with the 2610? Or how long should I charge it for..etc.
    Anyone info, or insight would be great, Thanks!

  • IPhone 4 - Charging issues including "This accessory may not be supported."

    So for the past couple of weeks, on and off, my iPhone 4 (2 years old) has been having intermittent charging issues. I have gone through four charging cords, all from Apple, and two charging blocks, both from Apple - none of these change/resolve the issue.
    I had an online chat through Apple with someone a week ago, and she suggested resetting my settings only (resetting the entire phone was my husband's idea) - resetting the phone entirely did not resolve the issue, and resetting the settings (and only the settings) works for maybe 1-2 days maximum. Any of the following things happen when plugging in the phone to charge:
    1) The phone charges normally (very rare anymore, happens more often if I reset the settings on the phone first then put everything back the way I want it)
    2) The phone charges for maybe two seconds, then a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported." (8/10 times this happens, can usually get it to charge normally if I unplug and replug a bunch of times)
    3) The phone makes the noise/vibrates like it is charging, but the battery percentage will go down over time. (rare, but does happen)
    An Apple store visit is not exactly...possible? I live an hour and a half away from my closest one, and the location is not easy to get to (cross a bridge, pay $13 toll, $13 to get back over to go home, and that's just the way there and back...forget finding the place). I have cleaned out the phone at the charging port more times than I can count. My husband seems to think it is a battery issue...thoughts?

    iOS 7 will give errors on non Apple certified peripherals.  So make sure you only use Apple certified products. Did you backup the phone and then RESTORE AS NEW (not reset)? Try doing that by plugging the phone to iTunes on a computer. See if that helps. If it solves the problem, there could have been corrupted software on you phone. If not, it could be a hardware issue (including the battery), in which case you would need to go to a Apple Store or authorized service provider.

  • HT1476 how do i know if my iphone is charging

    just got iphone today.  was charged when i purchased it.  now it's dead.  plugged in to charge, but not able to power up iphone.  so how do i know if it's charging?

    If the screen doesn't light up with a chargining indicator after 20 minutes (at the most), then there's an issue somewhere. Try plugging the iPhone into iTunes instead, and try a different USB cable if possible.
