Is my Battery dead? Help and advice needed.
Folks,
Back again. Bleeding 6P causing me grief AGAIN. It died last night randomly. Nowhere near low battery. When I plugged it in to charge it immediately came up with the charging indicator stating it was full. It then switched itself on and was useable for a small amount of time. It was noted that the flash light on it wasn't working at this time. Since then it seems to be in some sort of weird loop.
Plugged in via Mains Cable or USB
When plugged in it displays the blinking red light as if it's completely dead. It will then randomly turn on. It appears to have reset itself and needs set up again. On start up however it boots up but then shows the battery indicator as having full battery. It will stay on for approximately 3-5 minutes then just shuts down with no warnings and without the normal shutdown procedure.
It boots up using the power button then continues the cycle of shutting down and eventually restarting on its own.
I can manage to get into recovery mode when plugged in after a few attempts (I have completed a factory reset through this). It sits in recovery mode happily as long as it's plugged in.
If I power it off prior to it crashing it does power off. After it blinks red for about a minute it briefly shows a full battery as if fully charged whilst off and then powers itself back on.
UNPLUGGED
When unplugged and trying to turn it on it just starts flashing the red light without turning on.
Doesn't allow me to go into recovery mode.
It appears that the software thinks that it has full battery when actually the battery is dead therefore not being able to run even with power. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
I have no idea why it keeps restarting itself whilst charging.
May just buy a Oneplus however the camera is far too good on this.
Any suggestions or theories let me know.
Cheers,
Lewis
