same problem

I'm having almost the same problem

The red light

My wizard won't start, and by the way, I was charging it with a motorola charger :( cause I only had the car charger , and the cable is 2 short. I actually charge it several times... a month and some, no problems, till now :( I posted a new thread,

I don't know what to do ... Can it be the main battery ... mabe my charger depleted it :( I had resco tools installed an it said that my main battery is at 100% ...

Now when I plug it in the car charger, it does nothing..., and when I plug it in the moto charger it shows a red light.

If someone finds anything, please reply.

I found a thread...

Plug in your pda without your battery inside. It shows the red light. Insert your battery, and the led will turn off. Press the power off button, and, voila....it starts. By the way, after it was brought back to life, I quickly pluged into the usb...and the led turned orange. My battery was 0%

Hope this helps. By the way, it's not necessary to work from the first time. Worse possible scenario, let your pda to "rest" without the battery insite for an hour and then try again. I heard it has something to do with heat...I mean, if it's cold, there are less chances... don't laugh :) It may be true. For me it worked the first time. Good luck.

I was having the same problem. It was fine for a week using this other USB charger then yesterday it was not charging and today it was totally dead.

Thank you guys for the information :)

but what is different about the chargers? or USB cables I mean?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] shogunmark:
There are a few scenarios going on here.. (some of these things people have tried and got the same result, but i want to lay them all out on the table here)

A. The aftermarket chargers you are using may not meet the 5V 1A rating as the factory chargers... aftermarket chargers or even factory chargers for other devices such as motorola have an output of 5v 0.5A. Now the .5amp charger can charge the device just as long as its idle and not draining faster than it can be charged.

B. Defective Charger

C. Defective battery

D. Defective Phone

*Note- i did not mention roms due to the fact that phones will charged when they are completely off (not asleep)

Now that we have identified the possible problems we can start to identify possible solutions. (If your phone is completely dead and wont turn on then you may need to search for a thread entitled "Dead Wizard, Never lets revive" in the upgrading board)

Before you go to bed, turn the phone completely off and plug into the OEM charger that is rate output of 5V 1A, make sure the the orange charging light is on and go to sleep (you, not the phone, its off remember :p ) If this does not solve the issue then try this same thing with another battery and the same charger, if that fails, then try this the old battery and a new charger.....

If after you do all of this and its still not charging properly then your phone is defective.

if i didnt make much sense its cause i am tired and will clarify in the morning if i can :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leepriestenator:
I'd like to make an observation here about some rather choppy battery life that I have been experiencing with my Wizard. I'd like to know if this is inside NORMAL behaviour parameters.

At 8AM this morning, my battery was disconnected from the charger with the battery fully charged.

Between 8AM and 11AM my total phone usage duration was 10 minutes. At 11AM, my battery displayed 91% Charge.

Then exatcly at 11AM, I turned on my Opera Browser and used it for 12 minutes, after which the battery dipped another 7% from 91% to 85%. I noted this reading at 11:12 AM.

After this I put my phone on standby. From 11:12 to 18:30 hrs, I recieved 1 missed call and a total of 2 SMS plus 4 emails. During this time I have not made or recieved any other calls. At 18:30 hrs, I noted that my battery was at 71%.

My phone is set to send and recieve emails every 15 mins. I have only one pull email account and one push email account.

Other than what I have mentioned above, there was no other phone activity. I do not have any background apps running except for SPB Pocket Plus and the Battery Status Application.

Please let me know if this is similar to what all of you are experiencing or should I get a new battery? My phone still has about 6 months of warranty on it? Will I be able to get a replacement for it on these grounds?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] shogunmark:
from what i can remember when i had my wizard i think that sounds pretty good actually...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leepriestenator:
thanks for that shogunmark. Do you have an approximation as to how much battery drain there would be for apps like Opera? 7% in 12 mins seems to be a lot. Also I have a feeling that if Opera is running in the background, the battery drains very quickly even though the device is set to go into standby after 1 min of inoperation. I can't confirm this but I have a feeling this has happened to me.

Also, since my messaging app checks for email ever 15 mins, how much of a battery drain will that be?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] shogunmark:
i cant offer an approximation since it has been a month since i switched to the hermes.. but i can say that i would pull mine off the charger around 8am and by 11pm i would need to charge.. but i used data heavily.. opera, pushmail, at LEAST 30 text a day, and maybe 45 minutes in calling a day. now 7% in 12 minutes does seem excessive, but running java apps is demanding on the phone, takes a lot of resources.

Tips on extending battery life.

I can not aggree with this. I use my windows live and it syncs every 15 min I send out at least 300 txts a day and I use around 90 min of talk time during the day, (thank God for unlimited txt msgs and free nites and weekends). I use the web at least 40 min total and I listen to my MP3s on it on the train ride to and from work which lasts about 20 min from Manhattan to BKlyn. I dont recharge the phone the until I get home around 7pm charge for an hour and go out again.

I have noticed that certain Roms tend to suck out power much like my x-girfriend sucks out my money for Child Support. I have played around with running certian programs and adjusting the backlight settings and this has helped me keep the phone running all day.

My suggestion would be to change the rom and see if your drain contiunes. Then try to have your backlight turn off with in the 10 secs. If you are overclocking your phone when you dont need that extra Mhz turn it back down to 195 or if your really adventurous turn it down to the 170's for some extra power savings. Last but not least make sure your Active Sync is not turning on all the time by adding a fake server source. If all that fails buy the cradle with the spare battery charger and carry an extra battery. Good luck and godspeed!

Use 1A charger

This has been stated already, but after buying 5 extended batteries thinking they were all dying, I bought a 1A charger on ebay. Payed about US$25 shipped, but it made all my troubles go away. A reseller sold me my 8125 with a Razr charger and I thought it would be fine but it wasn't. Use a 1A charger!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] newbie2:
I keep reading about this "Wizard draining battery" issue on here. I can't say that I've EVER had a problem with my battery draining.

I keep mine on the USB sync cable overnight to charge, pull it off in the morning around 8:30 when I leave for work. At that point, the battery is at 100%. Send/receive 4 - 5 text messages, 15 - 20 minutes of phone calls, PocketWeather updating every 2 hours, emails pulled from my POP3 server every 1/2 hour PLUS intermittent internet browsing and data entry into some of my apps. . . also running WA2 in the background. When I leave work at night, I still have between 77% - 83% battery life left.

Maybe it's just that I keep it "topped off" that I'm not experiencing any battery drain throughout the day -- I don't know. But, I've had no problems with mine.
[About XDA developers] marcbolh:
I really appreciate that XDA Forums has a developer friendly orientation. Some other forums have become increasingly developer-unfriendly, one even prohibits a developer from answering questions about their own product. That doesn't make sense. XDA seems like a place that cares about bringing developers and users together for meaningful discussion.

I installed walking dead S2 and moved game data to the /obb folder in the SD card (created by GL) and started the game. All I got was downloading 0/0.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] eragon5779:
This is for any Verizon device, not just the Samsung Galaxy S5. Please spread this to other device forums!

Recently, I came up with an idea of a developer program. What this program would do is allow people to pay a fee to have their bootloaders unlocked, regardless of the device. This would allow people the freedom to modify their device or develop for it without any issues. I did a little research and could not find anything similar to this (besides developer edition devices). So, with this idea in mind, I sent an email to the Executive VP of Verizon. Twenty minutes later, I received a phone call from his office. Long story short (there was a lot of talk about rooting and unlocking), the guy who called me put my idea through to marketing. However, since only about 1% of customers root their devices, there is concern of the interest in this.

What this thread is for is to see how many people would be interested in this program.

What would you be willing to pay to customer service to have your bootloader unlocked?

$0

$5

$25

$50

$100

Please use only one of those five prices, and no other prices.

You may discuss this in further detail in this thread. However, arguing, trolling, slandering, bickering, and anything else that will clutter this thread and overwork the moderators WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. This thread is not the thread to argue with others over the details since the idea is already in marketing. If you wish to argue or troll, please take it somewhere else. And, as always, please follow the forum rules. Thank you for looking at this thread.

For those who are concerned with the warranty, please read this. Huge thanks to [MENTION=2597189]shootind5nukes[/MENTION] for this info.

​

Here is the email of the VP I emailed if you want to email him about the developer program. Again, thank you [MENTION=2597189]shootind5nukes[/MENTION] for this idea.

IF YOU DO EMAIL HIM, BE POLITE AND RESPECTFUL PLEASE.​
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Cat McGowan:
$0. I am a firm believer that the devices I purchase should be fully open for customization.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jhasty01:
At this point I would be willing to pay a one time fee of $25. It makes sense it would be a charge since the dev edition has to be bought at full price.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Hashbang173:
Verizon has alot of customers 1% is alot of people.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RuggedHunter:
Great program, if implemented. Kudos for the idea AND getting a response! I would pay up to a hundred bucks for an official unlock like this, but I have ATT... :(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] MatthewPresley:
25 is fair, but I'd pay up to 50, if it included some insurance for the device. Is also say, that as an ATT customer, a service like this would tempt me to switch to Verizon
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Wi1son:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] parkerj7uc:
I'm on ATT as well but would pay upto $50. But my question is if they give a way to unlock it, it would be universal thru all phones. So why wouldn't i just tell my friend. If they would do this why wouldn't they just charge an extra $50 on every phone and have every phone unlocked. No more hassle. Why are they so greedy? If it's only 1% that care about there freedom what would they loose? They would make tons more money.....

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Jraider44:
I agree w/ [MENTION=4616838]Cat McGowan[/MENTION], devices should be open for development. And therefore would like to pay $0, but a $5 fee isn't too bad...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Hashbang173:
According to this there are 107.7 million Verizon wireless customers. So if 1.077 Million people (1%) root there devices on Verizon Wireless and are willing to pay $5 for a bootloader unlock, If everybody pays $5 to unlock there device Verizon would make 5.385 Million Dollars
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mastermatt:
Long time lurker. Signed up just to post to this thread.

I voted for $50 because that seems reasonable but at this point ive been looking to buy a $200 device that is unlockable so i would really probably pay more for a clean, official unlock. I agree that the spirit of Android should be open and therefore unlocked for free but its obvious that OEMs dont feel this way and Google isnt likely to "pull an Apple" so to speak and tell OEMs to leave their devices unlocked.

How wonderful would it be to not have to risk bricking devices and staying one step ahead to keep root and ROM?!

If Big Red is talking about this then its a milestone indeed. For so long the official position has been to shut it down. Maybe all of our annoying voices are finally breaking through?

I for one, constantly post on their facebook page, email and frequently call just to bug em about this. Keep it up and step it up! Maybe we can get somewhere?

Edit: Which VP did you email? haha. Seems like everyone on their site is a VP of something or another. Maybe we could all make our voices heard together?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] joshm.1219:
I'd pay $100 if i had to, but $50 is more realistic. If it was $100 i feel like that would dissuade enough people from spending that type of money to the point where community development is lacking , just like it is for locked down devices with only DevEd's as an option.

I really really hope something comes from this. TMo is just looking too good these days but i don't want to give up this network.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
I would be comfortable with $25.00.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] atx84:
I'm with big blue, would pay 25 bucks in a heartbeat. 50... ehh, I'd be hesitant. This is the first device I've owned where I wasn't hellbent on unlocking the bootloader
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jcollier:
I voted for $100, but all of these choices seem reasonable to me. Obviously being able to do it for free would be optimal.

The quote above really isn't a great way of looking at it. Sure, $5M sounds like a lot, but taken in context it is a rounding error at a place like Verizon. That $5M isn't enough to move top line revenue by a single basis point, and therefore wouldn't be enough incentive to the bottom line. Even $100 for the 1.077M people would only add 10 basis points to top line revenue.

All that said, money can't be the sole factor for getting them to let us unlock the bootloaders. They would have to look at the goodwill it would create, and the new customers, as evidenced above, that they could steal away from the other carriers.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] JLow0214:
Personally I believe we should pay $0 as I paid for the device and should be allowed to do as I please with it. Realistically tho $5-$10 wouldnt be terrible

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] loud88gt:
I'd be willing to pay up to $50. I would think Verizon could easily steal some customers away from other carriers by offering something like this. However, I don't see any carrier offering any kind of warranty on a device that has had its bootloader modified. It would be very easy for a newb like myself to brick my device and then try to get another under warranty...

Link fixed. And it would be per device. As for the bricked devices, it wouldn't be advertised as normal. I did discuss that with him, and he agreed that it would be better off unadvertised to prevent people who don't know what they are doing from destroying their device. Thank you for posting those concerns. The while paying for it to cover if the device gets bricked is pretty much why you would have to pay for it.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] theSutphin:
I don't know about anyone else. But this would seriously stop me from switching carriers.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jkc120:
Yup. I was planning on bailing for GSM carrier and a Nexus 6. But I'd absolutely stay with Verizon if I knew I could get flagship devices with unlocked bootloaders. I'd still prefer a Nexus, but in my town you can't beat Verizon for coverage.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Grompy:
If you think about it this would actually help stop backdoor rooting and backdoor bootloader unlocking, side loading, etc. If the users have the choice at the time of purchase or as the account owner and go into a store to unlock then they won't have all these bounties to root or unlock the bootloader. It would be more secure for their enterprise consumers. They won't be able to root their company supplied phones and risk a malicious rooted application because the root process isn't readily available. It also allows those of us to do what we love to do the most. Flash our little hearts out! Win win! If there was a small one time fee I think that would be reasonable. I wouldn't pay over $25.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] synesthete:
If I am going to pay for a flagship device with my hard-earned money, I want to OWN that device. There is no reason that manufacturers/carriers should treat me as if I am renting/leasing that device. Phones are small computers. There is no reason why they shouldn't be able to be treated like their larger desktop/laptop cousins. I am not going to pay a fee to have the privilege of using my computer as I choose.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tshelby73:
In thinking this is a pipe dream.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] theSutphin:
This is literally my exact thought and it sucks.

I have a moto x (not developer edition) and i was rooted on 4.4.2 but i updated to 4.4.4 thinking that root would continue to work and I'm sick of being hindered by big red.

I want my nexus device with an unlocked bootloader and great cell service.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] RyanThaDude:
Until the carriers in the US just become carriers and not phone dealers you won't see this happening. I would love to be optimistic and dream but we all know how VZW & AT&T operate. Plus, keeping the phone locked is VZW's way to extort get more money from people to make them sign up to ridiculous services that are normally free. But, if by some miracle this happens, here's how I will see it happen:

The charge will be some extremely large amount, like $100 or more.

Doing so will immediately void your warranty.

You will no longer eligible to receive OTAs (just like the Developer versions).

Phone must be purchased at full price, paid in full, or once customer has fulfilled their agreement.

Some other VZW crap that only they can think of.

Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $25
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ShapesBlue:
Agreed. Visual voice-mail is a damn rip off. There are apps that are free. I could really care less about my warranty because it's already up anyways. Bloatware is the equivalent of stuff we will never need. I'd pay at the most $50

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Hashbang173:
This is why Verizon doesnt want us to have an unlocked bootloader. This phone must have been on mdk and had CM on it. Becuase it was running CM the screen broke!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] eragon5779:
Not yet. But I'm not expecting quick results.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jkc120:
I hope quick means weeks or a month or two tops, because I'll be ditching Verizon when the Nexus is released, unless it's a phablet.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] eragon5779:
Rumors are that the next Nexus will be on Verizon. And it will be a phablet. 5.85 inch screen if I'm not mistaken.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jkc120:
I've heard the screen rumor (5.9") but I seriously doubt Verizon will ever see a nexus again. At least until they eliminate CDMA entirely. I hope I'm wrong because I guess I'd live with a giant phone if it meant keeping Verizon for coverage and unlimited data while also having a nexus. The gnex was a debacle so I'm skeptical of the new Nexus being on Verizon. Guess we'll find out once it goes through the FCC.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] fakieskr8333:
I agree it is highly unlikely we will see a Verizon nexus. There are just too many hurdles as long as they have cdma to deal with. But I think that even after Verizon goes gsm we won't be likely to see one BC Verizon likes to lock phones to Verizon and they are generally against unlocked boot loaders and that is basically completely opposite the nexus program. I'm still hanging having onto some hope though lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] wrongway213:
Rumor is that the new 5.9" phone MIGHT be a Nexus, might be a Moto S, first phone on Google's new Android Silver plan. God I hope its a Nexus, don't wanna wait another year and 9 months for T-Mobile and I believe they only buy out contracts of the whole family plan if on one... If not a Nexus hope I'm wrong about T-Mobile.
