Phone not charging

  • Thread starter Android Question
  • Start date
To add to this, best way to check if it's a bad battery is to get a USB cord and charger you know work and plug the phone in, remove the battery and try to boot up the phone while it is plugged in, if it boots, then it's most likely a battery problem.

Some devices will refuse to boot on plugged-in power without a battery or with a failed battery. The test is not conclusive unless you know that that particular model will normally boot without a battery installed.
