I've had my Droid 2 for a few months now and I've been happy with it, but as of a few days ago, it stopped taking a charge. It won't take a charge from an outlet, nor my Mac, PC or PS3, nor from a car charger. I have no idea what is wrong, and I haven't put any new apps on in about 3 weeks.

I'm using an AC charger and it appears it will take a least 3 hours to go from 10 to 100%. Seems too long. Is this normal?
View 7 Replies View RelatedThe dreaded fast battery drain finally starting happening to me the past couple of days. Last night I checked the battery usage and noticed something called 'RILD' was using up 14% of my battery life. What is it? Can you get rid of it? Why was it appearing last night but today after power cycling my phone it's no longer on the list of battery uses?
In addition I noticed that it seems to be taking much longer to charge my battery now than it did before. My car charger seems to be ineffective at charging even though it appears to be working correctly. The light on the charger is lighting up and my phone's indicator is showing it as being charged. But after 30 minutes of charging it hasn't budged the battery meter one iota.
My droid 2 wil not stop taking pictures
View 1 Replies View RelatedAbout a month ago my camera started taking weird "solarized" pictures. I tried downloading some different camera apps from the market and they all seemed to have the same issues. I cleared camera app data, safe mode test, battery pull, factory reset). The only thing I haven't tried yet is unmouting and reformatting the SD Card which seems to have an integral role in the camera's function.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently got a brand new phone after my screen broke and I filed a warranty claim through Asurion. With my new phone when i take pictures, sometimes they show up upside down. Not always but more often than not. My original phone never did this. Its pretty annoying to have to go back to the photo afterwards almost every time and edit and rotate it. I know the RAZR has the feature to show pics right side up no matter how you take the pic holding the phone but I guess somewhere in mine the calibration for this feature is off. Has anyone else experienced this or have any idea how to re-calibrate it? Note: It doesn't matter how I hold the phone when it happens. No matter which way it is on the screen at the time, it flips it upside down after the pic shows up.
View 11 Replies View RelatedHas anyone else experienced this? It seems to take a very, very long time to retrieve the device model information. It is extremely quick up to that point, and then when the "round circular M" appears, it seems that it is stalled for some reason. I know I have more than 100 photos and a few videos, but should it take up to half an hour?
View 1 Replies View RelatedTaking a screen shot requires holding the power and volume down buttons for a few seconds. Couldn't it be done by just pressing them? Also, it should take the screen shot when the buttons are released. As it is now, everytime I force a reboot, I also take a screen shot.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I've recently been having a few problems with my phone...
1) I've been charging the phone for about 18 hours now and it's only gotten to 75% (My battery app has an estimate of 1 day and 2 hours to reach 100%).
2) The wifi on the phone is very slow (about 3 mbps when my internet plan has a max of 30 mbps).
For the charging problem I've tried resets, other android chargers, and hooking the charger to a reliable wall outlet but none have worked so far. For the wifi, it looks like the phone works fine with other wifi signals except my home one although my roommate's phone works at home as well.
I had been able to charge my X2 in a 2011 KIA soul no problem. Last time I tried it would connect then disconnect. I uninstalled new apps, battery pull. My husband has the X and his still charges. So we know the charger is still working. I suspect GB but not sure. I completed some research and have not found anything. BTW I can charge via USB on a computer still.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe other day I plugged my Droid3 into the car charger and confirmed it was 'charging', showing 20%. An hour later, it was still 'charging' at 20% and was very hot. I unplugged the charger from the phone and checked the battery - it was at 20%. Normally, this phone would have charged 100% in an hour.
I plugged the charger back in - the phone charged properly.
The Droid 3 will not charge at all from my car's integrated USB cable. Every other device I have (including other Motorola phones) have no trouble at all charging off the same cord. Given the existing battery issues with the Droid 3, a quick fix would be wonderful. Not sure if there is anything I can change in the settings to address this.This is not an issue of the device using more power than the cable provides, when I say it doesn't charge, I mean it doesn't charge at all. I have heard similar complaints on other forums but search didn't yield any results comparable to this post.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI've had my Bionic since the first week it came out, and, while I generally love the phone, I have had just about every documented problem in existence; I'm fairly sure the employees at my local Verizon store just think I'm trying to scam them into giving me a new phone. Originally, I had the usual data and service connectivity issues-while this was annoying, and did lead to getting me lost in rural Alabama, it seems to have been resolved as I haven't had problems with that in nearly 2 weeks. Then I had the random and frequent power off/black screen of death issues, where even battery pulls wouldn't work. The guy at the Verizon store did a factory reset and everything seemed to be fine for all of 2 weeks. Starting today, my phone will not charge at all. I have used 4 different cables, including the stock USB one that came with the phone, and it will not charge past 5 or 10 percent, and it takes a good hour to get that far. I've also tried charging it in multiple outlets, on my laptop, and using a car charger. Same thing. This is obnoxious, to say the least. To complicate matters, the black screen of death has returned with a vengeance. As of me writing this, I cannot get my phone to respond at all, again, on any charger. I've tried multiple battery pulls, and letting it charge in excess of 30 minutes before attempting to power on, and nothing is working. Every so often I'm lucky enough to get the phone to turn on, just to have it turn back off within 20 minutes or so, all the while remaining at 5% battery. I paid for the insurance from Verizon, but there's no way I'm paying $90 for a replacement phone when I've done nothing to damage the phone-it's been in a case since the first week after I bought it. I'm going back to the Verizon store tomorrow, and unless some miracles occur before then, I'll just refuse to leave without either a new phone, or the RAZR.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI bought this phone off a freind so obviously I don't have the original charger, but its still the usb charger including the wall part.... the battery is now dead (through usage) and when i plug it into the wall i got nothin. The lil white light on the side comes on when i plug it into the pc but it doesnt appear to be charging there either...Now I understand there's something about USB devices starting at 100mA untill it requests more power but mine is still only at 100mA. I'm thinking its not charging cause its not requesting more power

View 1 Replies View RelatedJust goofing around, I figured out that there may be a workaround to the lack of a charge-only mode, at least on Windows systems. Connect the phone, and it will show up as a mass-storage device in Windows Explorer and start charging the phone. Now, click the tray icon to "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media." That disconnects the mass storage device, yet leaves the charger working.
View 6 Replies View RelatedObtained my Droid3 two weeks ago and I'm now finding that it will not charge.Long story short: I did not charge my device for 2 days straight, upon complete epletion of the battery's power I hooked it upto the wall charger and noticed that the screen turned on with the droid symbol and subsequently the charging icon. I left it to charge, and after a while when it was upto 15% I attempted to turn it on by pressing the power button (without holding it down), which caused the screen to go black and ceased the charging.ow whenever I try to charge the device via the wall charger, the white charging LED (between the microUSB and miniHDMI inputs) turns on occasionally and remains there for an hour, after which it goes off again. When I try to charge via the computer the same thing happens, except after 45min or so of charging, the device repeatedly connects and disconnects from the computer USB (the usb connection and disconnection sounds ping repeatedly until I unplug the device). This also happens when I try and turn on the device while charging via USB.
Normally after 45min of charging from the computer the device will turn on, with the Droid logo appearing and system activated. Now it will not turn on at all.I have tried removing the battery from the device for at least a min and then recharging, I've also tried removing and re-inserting the battery while the Droid3 is connected to the charger to no avail. To replicate the situation, I've left the battery without charging for a period of 48 hours, and then tried to charge it again via wall charger; same problem: the white LED turned on for about an hour and then went out. The device did not turn on this time. My suspiscions are on the battery..The phone is a great piece of hardware and I've grown to love it, yet I had honestly no idea it would be susceptible to such trivial conditions 3 weeks out of the box. I've ordered an extended battery just in case
If the phone is connected to a charger (the car charger in my case) and power is interrupted to that connection for more than a couple of seconds, the phone will not go back on charge unless the USB plug is removed from the phone and re-inserted WITH power already on the plug. Similarly, one cannot plug in the charger to the phone and then plug the charger into the car outlet - phone does not start charging.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am going to purchase another battery for my Bionic so I can swap batteries when I am running low. Is there a dock or something I can purchase that will allow me to charge just the battery? So I can be using my phone whilst charging a separate battery at the same time?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI bought the extended battery - P893. It was fully charged when conneected to my phone. My phone had @ 10% batter life left. The extended charger bumped the charge up to 60% with no extraneous processes running. The delivered cusomt smart action for the extended battery was activated. That seemed a bit low given the product description and mention on the boards of delivery two full charges. I fully recharged the battery. When my phone was depleted to 20% I connected the extended battery again. The charge was brought up to 60%. Their was no charge left in the battery extender.

If I attempt to open the photo from the Gallery, it is a black/blank image. If I navigate to the folder when connecting my phone to a PC, the file shows up as 0KB, and if I try to open it, I recieve an error message to the effect of "This file cannot be displayed because it is empty."I've tried powering down and pulling the battery. That worked once, and hasn't worked again after several attempts. I also tried clearing the app's data via the "Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All menu", to no avail
