hey guys! my droid 4 won't boot for some reason after getting wifi to work. any suggestions?
<dsc_>
boobay: try holding the power button for 10 sec
<dsc_>
if I remember correctly..
<boobay>
thx, but it doesn't help
<dsc_>
it could also be powerbutton + volume down button
<dsc_>
but maybe I am misremembering things...
<dsc_>
probably.
<boobay>
it's 1 sec vol down + pwr for fastboot and 10 secs pwr for power off. but it doesn't work(((
<boobay>
might go around my block in search of a screwdriver that fits
<dsc_>
so you got wifi to work and then the device just went black?
<boobay>
i don't really know.. i left it in perfectly working condition on the table, returned the next day, rebooted it a few times and now it's stuck
<boobay>
correlation with wifi fix is really loose
<dsc_>
ok :)

what do you mean "wont boot"
<uvos__>
please describe further
<boobay>
it shows green light when i plug the cable. besides that it doesn't respond to anything
<uvos__>
its simply empty
<uvos__>
this means its below the trickle charge voltage
<uvos__>
it wont boot in this state
<uvos__>
you need to let it trickle charge for a long time
<uvos__>
or charge the battery externally
<boobay>
oof... 24h should be enough?
<uvos__>
couple of h should be enough
<uvos__>
you might end up in a motorla logo boot cycle
<dsc_>
can you get into kexecboot menu?
<dsc_>
guess not :P
<uvos__>
that means your battery is simply to weak to work without you will need to charging externally and realistcly replace the battery as this means its really degraded
<boobay>
thx. should i control the battery level in cron so it doesn't happen again?
<uvos__>
we control the batttery level just fine
<uvos__>
it must have hanged in some state or your battery is really degraded
<uvos__>
this assumes force reset dosent do anything
<uvos__>
(power + vol-down for 10 sec while not on charger)
<boobay>
yep, this is exactly the case. i suspect the battery, this phone has seen a lot
<uvos__>
also make sure the screw terminals are on tight
<uvos__>
i have had those back out
