Droid mini is dead even though it was on charger for 2 hours

my phone died, put it on the charger and 2 hours later it won't do anything

I've had chargers die, cables get flakey, plugged into a socket which is controlled by a wall switch turned off. ive had my battery slip off its connections.
Start a systematic experiment to narrow root cause.
Reseat battery.
Use another USB cable. Try a computer or car radio USB port, try a car charger....
Good luck.

  • Iphone 4 just turned itself off, won't turn on again - sleep/wake button hasn't worked for a while - tried charging (even though it was 50% charged when it shut down) and that makes no difference....tried usb to computer and directo to wall socket. help?

    phone 4 just turned itself off, won't turn on again - sleep/wake button hasn't worked for a while - tried charging (even though it was 50% charged when it shut down) and that makes no difference....either via usb to computer and direct to wall socket. Any suggestions...other than heading off to the genius bar tomorrow?

    Well, the sleep/wake button is also the power button. If you cannot use it to turn on, then you cannot use it to perform a reset by holding it and the home button together until you see the Apple logo.Those are the only two ways to turn the device on. You can try letting the battery go completely dead and then trying to plug it in. After it has charged for 20-30 minutes, the device may come back on. But, without the sleep/wake button, there is no other way to turn the device on or off.

  • Dead Battery image appears even though it was fully charged

    Hi there I need help!!
    OK so I've had my iphone for about a week now and yesterday while I was on the phone it dropped my call. When I pressed the home button the dead battery image appeared. This had me confused because prior to making the call, the battery displayed it was fully charged. When I plugged the iphone to the USB adaptor it chared for bearly 2 minutes and made a noise saying it was fully charged. During this time I recieved a text saying I had a new voicemail message but I didn't recieve the missed call. So I reset the phone and I restored it like a new phone with the new 2.2.1 version just to be safe. Today it did exactly the same thing. Any suggestions before I go to the apple store? Is there anything else I can do?
    Frustrated!!!!!

    Sounds like a problem phone. If you are in the US, you have 90 days of complimentary support, so call U.S. iPhone technical support: 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and see if they have any suggestions.

  • 98-99% charge even though it was plugged in for 24 hours

    Any idea why I sometimes don't get to 100%. Sometimes yes and sometimes no....It's not time since I left it plugged in for 24 hours.

    Pretty normal with Apple products. My MacBook now reads 95% even though it's been plugged in for the last 24 hrs (most always is). If you really care about this I believe there is a battery meter calibration process you can apply.
    Good idea to read these tips: http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=899

  • Ipod 5 will not boot up from no batteries even though it has been charging for 30 minutes.

    I bought an iPod Touch 5th generation in December 2013. It is completely out of batteries and when I plug it in it says it's charging but never boots up. Now when I plug it in the iPod doesn't even show the dead batterie sign. I have tried multiple adapters that are certified by Apple but the two USB to Thunderbolt cables I've tried are not certified by Apple. Could it be the uncertified cables are is it a bad batterie? I don't want to buy an overpriced apple cable to find out it's the iPods fault. I have cleaned out the port in my iPod and all the connection that could be faulty, unfortunately I do not have another IOS device that supports Thunderbolt so I can't tell if it's the cables fault. I will probably ask to borrow someones fifth generation device although I am almost 100% certain that it is not the cables fault.

    What do you mean by:
    - "multiple adapters that are certified by Apple"? Do yo mean wall charger?
    - "USB to Thunderbolt cables"? A Lightning cable plugs into the iPod
    Yes, a bad USB to Lightning cable can result in no charging. Also, some non-Apple cables do not work.
    Not Charge
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

    - Try another charging source I think you already did did this
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    If necessary:
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS1398 my iphone will not connect to my network...even though it was automatically connected for a long time.  now nothing.  I've tried everything...please help.

    I am having trouble getting my iphone hooked onto my wifi.  It has always been hooked up to my wifi, but since yesterday it has been doing this. Yesterday i turned my phone off and on and that seems to work...but today, nothing works.  I've reset my network and everything...Please help me.

    Tozo, it sounds like your setup may be missing DNS server numbers. Try the following:
    *Reset/Change DNS Settings*
    Launch Airport Utility.
    Select Airport device on left.
    Click "Manual Setup".
    Select "Internet" from the toolbar above.
    What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"? Try putting in these servers from OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click "Update".
    Next, on all Macs affected, launch System Prefs --> Network Prefs.
    Select the service you usually connect with on the left (Airport or Ethernet).
    Then click, "Advanced...".
    Click the "DNS" tab.
    What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"? Usually "10.0.1.1" will be listed first in gray. This refers back to the settings in the Airport Utility.
    Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to add the DNS servers noted above here as well.
    Click "OK" then click "Apply".
    Finally, reboot your Mac.
    Now see if you have internet access all around.
    Let us know if this was helpful. Cheers!

  • Can't use Premium even though I have been charged ...

    I am having mega problems too. I can't get anyone to respond on the live chat and also I have discovered that I can't use skype premium even though I have been charged for it. I have bought other products over the top and disconnected them and am waiting for a refund. Long delays waiting for a response in emails is frustrating

  • I was using my Macbook when it suddenly shut down, I was updating a program so I had the charger on even though there was still 90 percent of power in the computer. I tried to turn on the computer several times but is not working, what can I do?

    I was using my Macbook when it suddently shut down, I was updating the operating system so I had the charger on even though there was still 90 percent of energy. I tried to turn my Mac several times but it doesn`t turn on, also the green light of the charger is not working, it`s looks like the charger is dead too. What`s wrong with my Mac?

    Try resetting the SMC.
    MacBook and MacBook Pro with a battery you can remove
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer
    To reset the SMC on newer Mac portables with a battery you cannot remove
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.  
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • When i send an imessage to another person with imessage, my husband also receives the message, even though it was not sent to him.   We have always been on the same itunes account and not had this problem, however, when i added the ipad, this started.

    When I send an imessage on my ipad to someone, my husband also gets the message, even though he was not selected as a receipient.  This just started when I got my ipad and sent a message for the first time.  As a side note, my daughter received an itouch and both my husband and i were getting all messages she sent, no matter which one of us they were sent to.  I turned her imessage off.  We have all of our devices under the same itunes account so that we can share all music and apps.  How can we get around this?  I do not want him receiving all imessages that I send, this will get very annoying to him.

    You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
    Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • On yosemite - update itunes 12.1.2 notification appears repeatedly even though it was updated.

    on yosemite - am notified every few days to update itunes 12.1.2 even though it was updated.
    No indication that previous updates failed.
    Update has the same version number and the same description.
    I see it also listed as a previous update.

    Actually, I found other posts implicating Spotlight (which may be finding and referring to a copy of iTunes.app it found elsewhere, even if that copy is no longer around). Trying the re-indexing (forcing re-indexing is the proposed solution) now.
    Interestingly, the command sudo mdutil -E on its own didn't seem to get Spotlight to dump its index and start re-indexing. It took adding the root path like this: sudo mdutil -E /
    Update
    Strangely, other apps started showing up in Spotlight searches after only a few seconds. After a few minutes into the indexing, any app I'd try would show up, but iTunes still wouldn't. On the command line, I entered:
    mdimport /Applications/iTunes.app
    This command forces Spotlight to index (import the metadata of) the specified target. I then tried the search again and it found it right away. Refreshed App Store's Updates page and iTunes remained. I'll wait until the indexing is done then restart and see if that helps.
