Problem: droid razr battery fully drained, white light when plugged to usb?

Hello
I just got the phone new out of box at beginning of month, Battery was fully drainded today,when I plugged the usb to charge phone a bright white light shines on front screen. Is the phone toast? or is this normal?
Thank you for any help.

if you really think charging a phone, that's on, with a usb, is getting a full charge you're dreaming.
re-read your comment in the post i replied to:
"I went to the store thinking it was toast but the guy plugged in a wall charger and it immediately came on.
Well just this morning it died and I charge from my computer. Again the white light of death and I could do nothing".

Macbook Pro retina display 13 inch stopped charging. Charger LED also not on while plugged in. The battery fully drained off but the system can detect the charger when it was switched on.

Macbook Pro retina display 13 inch 2014 model stopped charging. Charger LED also not on while plugged in. The battery fully drained off so the system can not be started but the system can detect the charger when earlier it was switched on before draining off the charge. Charger type magsafe 60W.

Once you have examined the power inlet on the computer for dirt, and made certain that the pins on the end of the MagSafe cord are free to move in and out to make contact, there is very little you can do yourself.
You will need to visit your Apple Store (FREE with appointment) or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider (policy varies). They work on these all the time and have good expertise and lots of spare parts to try to determine the problem.

HT4367 Apple TV 2nd gen factory restore (blinking lights when plugged into TV)

I have a 2nd gen apple TV, and when doing the above steps my unit does not show up in iTunes...

After trying to update the Apple TV 2nd generation it had the plug into iTunes message. When I plug into iTunes 11 and hit restore a message comes up "The device cannot be found" rendering the device useless. Please help!

My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in.

My new AirPort Extreme will not turn on anymore, no lights when plugged in. I just bought it a few days ago. It has been working fine. I left the house for most the day and when returning home it would turn back on. I have tried to plug it into other outlets...nothing, I've tried the reset button...Nothing.

That is reported here a few times.. just take it straight back to apple or place of purchase for immediate exchange.

OG Droid Razr battery life

I have an original Droid and since I am not a big cellphone user I have never had a problem with battery life. I am just wondering if the Razr has similar battery life. I know the Maxx just came out but I am not sure if I would need the extra battery life. Thanks for any advice.

Yes, the battery life isn't the greatest with smartphones.
As a reminder,
Battery life depends on the network, signal strength, temperature, features and accessories used.
It is common for batteries to be warm from use or charging.
Tips for extending battery life
Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat and cold.
For the first 3 charge cycles, fully charge the battery overnight and allow it to fully discharge before recharging (battery conditioning).
Charge and re-condition a battery after an extended idle period.
A Lithium-ion battery may be damaged by extensive overcharging (continuously on a charger for more than 24 hours).
Use the battery. If possible, avoid letting your battery sit idle for long periods of time.
Use only the phone options and accessories that are really needed.
Here are some tips that will help extend the battery life on your Droid Razr.
I also make sure I use my smart actions to help with battery life. I make sure my Razr is in sleep mode when I sleep.
Hopefully, these tips/tricks will help you with the battery life on your Razr and even the Razr Maxx!

My In Store Experience With Droid Razr Battery Life

I have a Droid Razr. I took it into a local store because my battery life is HORRIBLE. The phone had been off the charger for 1h40m minutes and it was already at 60%. The CSR told me it would take 40 minutes. When I came back he told me the test said the battery "was fine", and he went on to explain that it had only gone down 10% in the 40 minutes which is pretty bad. I left and checked the phone and it was at 40%. I thought I could get the battery replaced or possibly get a new phone but he just gave me the information and walked away. I had to track him down to ask him another unrelated question.
the battery has been on the charger the past few days more then i have been using it. i can't make a full day on a 100% charge, not even a half day. I charge at least once during the day, and around when im going to bed.

Hi there Sas1983!
Having a battery that will last is definitely important! I'm so sorry for the less than super experience with your phone and at the store location. I would be delighted to provide some information and suggestions.
4G LTE Smartphones run a different radio so battery life is a little bit different. As you already know you can't remove the battery from your Razr so we absolutely want to ensure it's good!
You can manage your phone by using Smart Actions on your phone. Here's some information: http://search.verizonwireless.com/?q=smart actions razr&x1=t1&q1=support
You can also close running applications easily by "double tapping" the Home Key and then swiping the open applications to the right to close them.
Let me know how these additional steps help!
Thanks,

Battery fully discharging while idle and plugged-in ...

I've had a new "standard" mid-2011 MBA 13-inch, 128GB, since Monday (three days of use), and I'm encountering an issue where I can't seem to get any AC (chargers) to work reliably. I was using the system today, for example, until about noon, with the AC plugged-in, the battery fully-charged, and apparently working. I had a conference call in another room, and when I came back two hours later, the system had shut itself off, and no light on the AC cord. System would not even power on. I unplugged everything, moved the AC cord to another outlet (first one is perfectly fine!), plugged it in, and the system started up, but the battery showed 2% charge - after two hours of inactivity while plugged-in. Sounds like something is seriously wrong either with this new MBA/or accessories, or a bug in Lion. I did migrate from an older MBA, so I wonder if I've migrated some setting that is causing problems ... Any ideas are appreciated! Michael

Yes, that's normal.
Yes.

Just a SIMPLE query: No blinking/pausing white light when asleep?

Hello all.
Just got my new Intel iMac, very cool. I've set the mac to Display Sleep only and no HD sleep, when the screen goes black, there is no blinking white light at the lower right corner of the iMac, unlike my 1st gen G5 version.
How would I know then for sure, that my iMac is asleep and not shut down?
Thanks and cheers

It would have been nice, if the black Apple for example would glow slightly, but no. There is no way of knowing it, other than pressing some key on keyboard. If it wakes up... Oops, it was sleeping. If it doesn't, then it is shut down (or otherwise unwilling to co-operate with you).
I wonder, if this really is some environmental issue. Powering off your computer uses less electricity? If so, that is good, because climate change has struck again: Another christmas in a row without snow here in southern Finland...

Droid 2 Global: phone staying on only when plugged in.

I've had my phone for about 8 months and I've had no problems until this morning. When I turned my phone on at frist it seemed normal. After it sitting for a second, it cut off. I tried turning it back on and the Motorola screen just kept popping on and off and when plugging it into a charger it would go to the bootloader and say "battery low can not program". I read other threads saying to plug it into the charger and leave it plugged in but my phone was fully charged, from a wall charger, in the first place. Now it only stays on when it is plugged in. WHAT'S GOING ON?

krg2941,
Good afternoon! I'm sorry to learn the phone is being difficult. That's a big bummer! I would recommend you check the charging port on the phone for rust or corrosion, as that could be causing these concerns. Also, popping the battery out for 10-20 seconds while the phone is on, is another good tip. You may benefit from a new battery or a new device if you are unable to resolve with a reboot. Please send me (AdamE_VZW) a direct message for further assistance if necessary.
Thank you,

No lights when plugged in in the computer it shows it's plugged in.

after liquid spill, i clean out the macbook book pro 2014, how ever when megsafe plugged in lights won't come on. battery previously charged but not charging now. when plugged in it goes from battery to power but no lights. help please!

When you get any kind of a liquid spill on a mac notebook, you should immediately shut it off and remove all power for the machine. Including the battery. I know the battery is built in and difficult to remove. You have to remove the bottom cover. You will now need to take it into an apple store for an evaluation and or repair. It would have to be taken apart and all components cleaned ,dried and or replaced. Based on what is defective.

Droid RAZR battery issues

I am having major battery issues now with my Razr. Let me explain some of the things I've observed.
Number 1. When discharging it might drop to 99-98-97-80-40-39-38-20-4% as I witnessed today, right before my eyes while using it in a matter of a few minutes, and it gets hot too. When charging, it will charge up normally to around 30%, then jumps to 100 and says charged.
Number 2. This seems to be a much bigger problem when using 4G. I just recently got 4G here, and ever since then, my phone is always a little warm and just eats the battery. I'd noticed this before, when traveling from here when it was still just 3G, to a 4G area. It is such a problem that when I went to Florida this past summer, I had to stop at the verizon store for them to check it out, because it was dying way more rapid than I was used to, always being on 3G at home.
My phone is so bad now, that I dropped it from 100 to 4% in around an hour yesterday, and about 50+ minutes of that was idle and screen off. Then again later, I was using it to check the weather and it again went from 80+% to 15%, and quickly dropped to 9% in a matter of moments.
I have changed nothing about it that would cause this level of drain. Location and everything else is off. I checked to see what is using the battery the second time it happened, and is says it is mostly screen and android OS.

My daughter has had the exact same problem. It worked fine since end of July when we got it as her regular two year upgrade plan until about a month ago. She hasn't added any new apps and hasn't changed her phone behavior. She does all the right things with turning off wifi and I've done the cache partition wipe twice and it sill does it. It gets so hot that the phone actually exhibits a warning message that it needs to shut down. And it happens almost daily now. I've checked what's been using battery and Google Services seems to be the main culprit--with Google Play services and Location services using almost as much battery as the screen. I've also uninstalled updates to Google Play services, rebooted and installed updates again and the overheating/battery drain still continues. I am planning on taking her phone to Verizon and asking for a replacement.
I've scoured the internet for answers and not sure what to do. Hoping it's a phone issue. It seems ridiculous to have to turn off all the connectivity and functionality of a smartphone just to be able to have it work properly.

Droid Razr Battery Life

I need help.....anyone know what to do to get longer use from my battery? 2 hours if even that long is about all I get out of my battery! Frustrated!!!!!

Ok has it Got the Latest Updates on it..? On my 2 Razr Maxx's one has Jelly Bean and one has ICS both are still Running Stable although at times the Network drops back to 3G, but that could mean there just doing some adjustments
Well since it Set for a While i would Run it through a System Cache Clear, and see what that Does and one App that i would suggest Getting is System Panel App it will show you what your Razr is doing how it's performing and it will show what apps are Running it's not a Task Killer if you have one on your phone get rid of it) Panel App also shows the Battery Life the Temps of the Phone and the SD and internal Storage it's a Good app to have i'v used it since 2010 when i Got my Droid X my first Android phone..
Also when you charge your Razr do so by using the Charger that came package with it, It's the best to use to achieve the best charge for the Phone and you might Look at what you phones Data is set on if it is on Global switch it to LTE / CDMA and try that..
Let me know if that helped with the System Cache Clear and the Few other things i suggested if not we'll try something Else Since you Mentioned allot of Apps you may have some that are in the Need for updating or some that need removing because of the Age of the App..

Why in the new update 5.0.1 apple don't enable multitasking gestures on iPod touch and iPhone? More why did the battery now drains so quick when using wi-fi?

i want to be informed!

- Only Apple know why they di not enble the NT gestures. It is against the terms of this forum to speculate on such things.
- I have heard that Apple will release an update to fix the battery drain issue in a few weeks.

I have the sames problems with the battery of my itouch 4g when i update to ios 5.0.1

the battery of my ipod lows more fast when i update to ios 5.0.1 i need help

I had they same problem, but with my iPad. Howeve, I think that most of us have upgraded to 5.0.1 with the patch file, which made us all have a worse battery drainage. I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO FIX IT
RESTORE THE WHOLE 5.0.1 firmware TOGETHER the 700+ MB. You will notice the major battery improvement.
Remember to mark me with the correct answer... :)
