I've got this http://uae.souq.com/ae-en/z3-titanium-magnetic-charging-cable-with-smart-led-color-change-indicator-for-sony-xperia-black-7770328/i/#Reviews cable a few days ago. And It was charging fine as it should. But today I did something stupid/funny. I've connected the cable opposite side, display was off when I connected it. But after that when I was trying to turn on my device display, I realized it's not turning on. When I connected it to stock charger/wall charger. It was blinking yellow and after a minute it was blinking red. And got damn my device doesn't want to turn on :laugh: Tried to hard reset, still nope. Then I've removed all cards(sim/sd) and connected the device to my pc and boom! it turned on. Thanks to God! :silly: After that I tried to reconnect the magnet cable in right direction XD. And now the device indicator is blinking yellow(Charging on/off) And also when I connect the magnet charger do the device without connecting it to any usb slot, It lights blue. The thing is the cable is not charging my device like it should after connecting it in opposite direction for a few second.
Now my question is : The cable is dead or my device magnet port got screwed?

If you inversely connect it to your phone, the cable instantly become a magnetic port killer and so your magnetic port is killed in this incident.

Should have brought the WSKEN Mag Charger
I once tried connecting the opposite way the charger would just turn off because of some safety feature. Did that three or four times.
Cable and phone works fine also the cable is well-built.
You can get it for the same price from AliExpress and it delivers to UAE as well.

Your device magnet charger still working? I think mine went dead or have to buy another to test if the magnet port is dead or not!(The led on the magnet charger,lights up blue when I connect it to device wihout any power source:laugh However I don't live in UAE I just imported it from dubai. Howerver after this incident, I'm not going to use another magnet charger
And also my device is not full charging now, Stuck at 95% and flashing green led (goes on/off)

I did the same thing a long time ago with the same cable you have but when i did it nothing happened. I have the same cable that you have for almost a year now everything is working fine except when its charging the indicator light on cable is blinking randomly red or blue but it's charging fine.I tried other magnetic charging cables with light indicators they are working fine without blinking.

Don't know if, I've to replace magnetic flex cable to fix (battery not charging after 96-97% and device goes on/off when battery is charged with green indicator on/off as well)
I also did a fully discharge on my device today and charged it when device was off. And it charged to 100% now time to see if it can charge back to 100% when the device is on. (But device still goes on/off with green indicator on/off. When device is charged)
I read somewhere in this community that downgrade to kk solve problem.

Update :
Looks like battery or device mb screwed!! Battery won't charge after 96-97-98% and display goes on/off on/off when it reach 96-97-98% and after that green indicator + charging indicator goes on/off as well.
Not going to touch magnetic charging cable anymore XD

I powered off the phone last night and left on charge. Unplugged and tried to power on this morning and nothing happened.
Ive gotten to work now and plugged it back in and even with power connected it will not start.
Additionally the power light occasionally blinks off and back on twice in succession.
*UPDATE* insanely the problem i Had with both usb and mains intermittently not charging (or al least showing the red charging light) has gone but the phone still wont boot.
I have followed some of the soft reset advice holding in the power button for two seconds and the reset for 10 and apart from the power light flashing nothing else is happening

I am not sure Your battery was charging at the night. You wrote "and left on charge" but did You notice tg01 started to charge ?
Such effects with blinking leds are typically met on some tg01's when battery has been discharged too much. There is a problem to charge it inside tg01 then.
My advice is to charge battery a little bit in external charger ( to about 3.4V if You have opportunity to measure it ) and then continue and finish inside tg01.

damn i havent got an external charger
Yes the light did come on to show it was charging but it was still on this morning some 6 hours later which it hasnt been normally but you are right in your assumption that it had drained completely, it hadnt when i started trying to plug in the charger but by the 50th attempt it had shut itself down completely.
i was umming and ahing about getting one on ebay the other day and opted for the micro to mini usb adapter in the end which ironically has arrived today.
is there one in partucular you would recommend?

Unfortunately I do not know what models are available on the market. I even do not know whether such devices are available at all for tg01 battery.
I am electronical engeneer so for such purposes like Your ( one time usage ) I utilize anything I have at home . Colegues from the forum, having the same problem, utilized DC power supply with voltage and current limitations and it is cheapest solutions if You of course have such device. I do not know what are Your manual and electronic skills but as I mentioned You do not have to charge externally the battery too long ( to about 3.4V ) so other solution is possible but it requires any multimeter , any non regulated DC power supply and resistor to limit charging current. As DC source You can utlize USB socket . As You see You have some options.

Once again.
Mains charger works every time but You are not able to establish connection ( active sync or mass storage mode ) to PC ? ( not every time ).
If yes, maybe micro USB plug from cable You connect tg01 from PC is damaged or cable itself has any internal damage causing that one time connection is possible, other time is not possible.
Worse possible scenario is that micro USB socket in tg01 is damaged ( transmission lines or ID line ).

Went to sleep last night with my Atrix plugged in as I normally have had all my phones, was playing with it right before I went to sleep and everything worked just fine, woke up this morning and the phone will not power on!
First tried to power it on unplugged and the green light flashed for 2 seconds, and nothing happened. Okay, weird, but I'll go with it. Plugged it in, and the green light stays on now until I press the power button! Once pressed, it flashes off, flashes on for 2 seconds and stays off. Nice. I thought the green light meant it was fully charged - when I woke up this morning, it had no green light on, but it was plugged in just fine all night - grabbed my Jawbone ERA and plugged it in to the charger I had the Atrix connected to and it started charging right away, so I know it works....
Pulled the battery, tried plugging it in and power it on without the battery. Nothing. Tried putting in the battery and plugging it in again to "jump start it" as I had done yesterday when I first got it - apparently you can't just charge the thing when connected to a laptop if the phone is off, it will power on even if you power it off again! Nothing.
What the hell happened in it's sleep? I KNOW rooting it didn't cause sleep death.... This thing doesn't have a custom ROM or any undervoltage adjustments, so why the hell is it acting up??? Damnit, right when I got EVERYTHING set up the way I wanted it too.... can't bring it in to the store and give it up with all my personal stuff on there now, I need this thing to power on to wipe it first!!! I'm leaving it connected to the laptop with the green light on for a while and will see what happens in an hour or so....
EDIT - just searched for and tried to hard reset the phone from this thread, the phone still won't even power on to get to the recovery screen!!!
UPDATE - see below and use the SUPPLIED Moto AC charger or at least one with over 5.0V - NOT a PC and NOT a USB hub!
use the charger that came with the phone. My old HTC ones won't charge the phone for some reason. I bet your battery is just dead.
Did you use the provided charger? I tried plugging my Atrix in to the charger I used for my N1, and found that it did not provide enough current. With the old charger, after the phone died, I had similar symptoms where the green light would flash but phone would not come on. Plugged it in with the Moto provided charger, and 5 minutes later all was good...
I had the same problem. Thought I was gonna have to take it back to the store. I don't know what the problem was but I took the battery out for 5 minutes. Then I plugged it into the wall charger(wouldn't work with PC). I didn't turn it on for 30 min, just left it on the charger. Then I hit the volume rocker and it showed the battery charging symbol which it didn't do before. And then I was able to power it on
Same thing here. I purposely drained my battery on the first use. Plugged the usb cable into the PC and nothing. Same blinking green light with no response. I also thought I'd have to return the phone. Then for S & Gs I plugged it into the wall charger and it came to life. Once I got the battery charged a little bit I plugged it into the PC and it started to charge again. Don't know why, but it worked.
Have been running around the house trying to find valid outlets, and that does indeed appear to be the problem. I found it out the hard way though, should have kept an eye on the thread - used a power outlet instead of a PC USB connection and the screen fired right up! Yes, the phone showed the battery with 0% in it, but at least the screen finally came on!
How I have my phone set up normally is connected to my charging valet on my dresser, connected with a 15 foot USB cable that plugs directly into my desktop. Since the extension is good for just one USB connection, I have that connected to a USB hub and then a MicroUSB cable connects my phone from there. The Captivate, and all the other phones I've ever used, not to mention my Zune and Jawbone ERA, all eat that up and have no issues since the USB hub is powered not by the computer (seven USB cables is just too many for a single PC connection) but by the power outlet in the charging valet. I wonder if the hub is distributing the power requirement for each device and the Atrix needs more than others.
I also figured out that the Moto charger has a 5.1V output on it, as does my Jawbone AC charger. Now I need to start making sure that my each one of my chargers in the cars I own has that same type amount of juice too! You go up 29% in battery capacity and so do the requirements to charge it, huh?
Thanks for all the help, marking this SOLVED....
I used the charger in my bedroom that I've used for the Captivate and others before it and it didn't provide enough juice to charge the Atrix. It quickly switched between charging and not charging. I still had 40% battery showing when I woke up though which was nice. It had been off of charge since 10am yesterday.
Plugged it into an HTC charger and it's fine. The one that didn't work is not a modular charger so the power cord is hard wired to the plug.
Alright, a quick update.... Got the phone charged to 100% while it was off and plugged into the AC outlet with the Moto charger. Put my SIM card back in it - couldn't be without a phone all day! - and fired up the Atrix. Went to Battery Info to see what the status is and while plugged into my USB hub, it says
Battery Status: Discharging
Power plug: USB
....
Battery Voltage: 4124 mV (or 4.124V)

What the hell? Then I went right after that and plugged it into the Moto AC charger, it says:

Wait, you have to have specific drivers on the PC so that the phone will allow a power cable (let's not even worry about it being a USB cable for a second) to charge the phone properly? I have the Motorola Media Link software installed, and that has a ton of drivers on it, that wasn't enough? MORE drivers are required to charge a cell phone? This is madness!
Sorry about the necromancy, but had this problem myself but it is NOT due to a lack of voltage. Thought I'd actually solve this, the problem is CURRENT.
USB2 ports will only ever supply 500ma which simply isn't enough to charge the atrix when it's dead. USB2 powered hubs won't supply any more than this either to meet the USB2 spec. The fact that the AC adapter works is because they tend to have a higher output current in the region of 1-2 amps (you may notice the phone, or any other device for that matter, charges faster with AC adapters for this reason).
On a similar note, cheap car chargers only output 500ma. I know with my desire I can have it plugged in and it charges, but if I use GPS it actually draws more current than it can charge at resulting in the battery draining (albeit, slowly).
So, make sure you have a higher current AC/Car charger, or alternatively, plug it into a USB3 port to charge as USB3 spec allows 900ma (some mobos output up to 1A) which is enough to charge the Atrix.

Not sure about this..... It's been about a year since I got all my USB3.0 gear, and I was super excited about it because I thought that my phone would charge ridiculously fast because of the added output, but I remember reading that 3.0 uses extra pins and those pins account for the added voltage and bandwidth of the cable - we don't have those extra pins when you step down from 3.0 to 2.0, so we lose the ability to charge devices faster as a result. I don't know if I actually proved that theory, but after I read up enough on it, I thought I just didn't have to with that knowledge..... again, correct me if I'm wrong, I've got a lot of 3.0 gear here!!!

There are indeed extra pins in the USB3 standard but these are to transmit data only. The original USB2 data pins are only there for legacy support and USB3 transmissions use the extra lines. There's still only the 1 VBUS pin which supplies the +5V power. There's also no harm in offering higher current on the connection as a device will only ever draw as much current as it needs until it tops out the supplier, not the other way round
EDIT: Another solution could be to use a splitter cable (common with 2.5" drives)so you can draw from 2 ports, but with a micro connector. I've never actually seen one with USB micro but a quick look on ebay says they do exist

atrix 4g not coming on
Is there any real fix to this issue i have search high and low and all i am seeing people talking about the battery id dead ... i have two battery that is fully charger and the phone still not coming up.
Hi all, sorry that im posting after two years ago but i am facing exactly the same problem, but i plugged it in my USB port, wich i think its a usb2, and i got the screen on but the cellphone did not say charging instead of that was connect your charger, and it was lower than 3% then it turned off. What can it be a solution??
None of the avobe solutions worked?
Which rom/kernel are you using?
I too have this same issue. My Atrix won't come on. I have 2 of the same phone. I tried the charger and cable from both phones. Neither work. When I first plug it it, the green light comes on for a few seconds then it goes out. I even opened the phone and removed the battery. Used a voltage tested and found my battery has 3.7 volts. Thats almost 100% charge. So it not a problem of power. I plugged the phone to my computer and same green light for a few seconds then gone. Won't do anything. No battery display or anything. I even did the simulated battery removal procedure. Didn't work. Is there anything else I can try? Can't get to recovery mode without display unless someone has a fix for that?
Hello
My prime was charged a few weeks ago, and i haven't used it in a while so it discharged and turned off.. Now when I try to plug It in, it shows that it is charging, but nothing happens..
It charged for 3 hours, and when I unplug it, it can't turn on.
If I leave it plugged in and turn it on, it shows a screen with low battery icon and turns off immediately.
I can charge the keyboard just fine, the charging led on the keyboard turns green after a while.
It's rooted, but stock rom and have never unlocked it, so no customer recovery..
Hope someone can help me out :/

It sounds like your battery may have died on you.
Are you using the AC charger or the usb charger?
Mine takes a long time on the usb but charges better on ac.
Are you charging them both while docked, if so try undocking and charging them separately.
How old is the battery, Prime now?
The battery is guaranteed for 12 or 24 months also, just check where your serial number is and it will have a 12 or 24 number on the right under your model number.
Also,l check the charging port and make sure no debris or foreign matter has accumulated in it and some of the pins aren't bent.
If none of this works it means you have an internal problem and a different recovery won't help because you still cannot get it charged.
Post back with your results please.

I've tried both charging it through USB from my computer and through the wall charger (original charger and cable).
I've tried charging it both docked and undocked, separate and together.
The Prime is bought about 7 months ago, and i have checked for dust and such in the various parts.
It says "12" below the serial number btw, but i bought it from England (i live in Denmark) though Amazon, so it would be hard for me to return it..
Though there is 1 thing that is bugging me and i'm not sure if it can be the problem.
There is 1 pin that's not aligned with the others on the charger port on the prime itself
Picture to explain: http://i45.tinypic.com/2r4sw7t.jpg
The 2nd pin from the far left is a bit longer inside the device than the others. I've tried to get it out by using a little metal stick (don't know what its called ) but I've been unsuccessful..
The prime obviously gets some sort of connection when i plug it in (though only if i plug it into the wall charger, doesn't happen with USB, which i kinda predicted) and gets enough power to vibrate, then turn on for about 4 seconds to show a big red battery icon (meaning low power) and then turns off..
I've tried to correct the pins on the wall charger so they're more stable and connect better, i've tried putting the wall charger in the freezer for 20min (google'd it as a possible solution, other said it helped them). I currently don't have any other charger or cable that can connect/charge the prime, but i don't think the problem lies with the charger/cable..
I left the dock+prime docked together charging all night and when i woke up, the dock LED was green but it still wasn't able to boot up at all..
Is there anything i can do to reset the Prime? I've tried the little pin hole under the sd card slot, i've tried various combinations of volume up and volume down and power, but i always end up with the screen with the big red battery icon..

I've tried both charging it through USB from my computer and through the wall charger (original charger and cable).
I've tried charging it both docked and undocked, separate and together.
The Prime is bought about 7 months ago, and i have checked for dust and such in the various parts.
It says "12" below the serial number btw, but i bought it from England (i live in Denmark) though Amazon, so it would be hard for me to return it..
Though there is 1 thing that is bugging me and i'm not sure if it can be the problem.
There is 1 pin that's not aligned with the others on the charger port on the prime itself

I am 90% sure that 2nd pin from the left is your problem. if you cant find a way to pop it back into place or dont know somebody who can do it for you then you should probably rma.
here is a thread about the pinout. Take a look at the diagram on post 6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630300&highlight=pinout
Hi there,
My TFP won't charge or be recognized by my iMac. I have changed the battery, no joy; I replaced the charging port; no joy; and got new charger and cable even though all my others charged other devices, .
Any ideas? Much appreciated

This happened to me because the battery connector inside the device was loose, I had to open up the device up and re-connect it. This time, I've placed some tape to try and make it not fall out again. Maybe the battery is faulty?
I am xperia z2 user since july 2014.
Until tooday everything was fine.
Onw hour ago i started playing Angry birds epic, and phone got really warm.
After few minutes i noticed that i have low level of battery, so i puted it on magnetic charger, and...nothing. It didnt start to charge. So i connected USB plug and also no reaction.
Phone is working except that it is not charging , and even in a basic menu it gets warmer then usual.
Any ideas??
Soft reset it. Hold volume up + power until3 vibrations
Or let it cool down first

I tried this way and it does not work.
I have z2 with same problem but I solved it
I have z2 with same problem it started with me after I bought the magnetic cable charger since then and the usb cable keeps bilnking on and off and the battery drain instead of charge and I can onlycharge the mobile using the magnetic cable..... I read here that the cause of the problem could be connecting the magnetic cable upside down and I did it by mistake and then the usb problem started so to solve my problem i connected the magnetic cable upside down once again and then connected the usb cable and its working but if I used the magnetic cable again the problem come back to raise so I do the same by connecting the magnetic cable in a invert way.

Hi, i probably have the same issue. Have you connected both cables at the same time to solve it?
So, it started while I was charging my phone in my car and all good. I had to remove the USB cable from the charger and put it back in, but it never worked again. At first I thought it was the charger or the cable but as soon as I got back home I realized it was not.
When the phone is switched off, the red LED turns on when i connect it to the charger but it does not charge. Also the blue LED turns on when connected to USB cable while pressing the up volume key. can not detect it on PC when it is fully on however.
I tried another battery but it didn't charge also. Got a magnetic cable and tried to charge it and then it worked!!
Flashed a new rom but still not working.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Did you plug-in the magnetic cable upside-down by a mistake?

No, the first time to charge with magnetic cable was after i couldn't charge with usb.

This was not expected. This is a typical issue if you plug-in the magnetic cable upside-down.
Anyway it seems your phone has a hardware issue: To be more specific the mainboard has one faulty diode - the whole mainboard has to be replaced.
