Hi All,
I have been reading through as always trying to give the kiss of life to the recently (1month) upgraded MDA Compact III. I have upgraded it from WM5 to Touch Flu WM6. It has been working great till last night it just died on me and now I can’t even turn it on... It comes on if i leave the battery out for a 10mins and then put it back in, but it will only go far as the boot screen and as soon as it comes to the password prompt it dies
SO I can’t get in to the bootloader...
Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks all
Kind regards,
DS

Just to clarify, if you do the sequence to put it in bootloader mode, it still wont come on? What if you have it connected to the computer, still no power?
I had that same problem
Well not to be the messenger of doom but it may eventually die for good, i dunno what causes this but the same thing happened to my xda orbit recently. I had it for about 7 months the 3 weeks ago i had that problem to fix it i would leave a battery out for about an hour, also it seems the more programs u have it seems the more crashes it has, not saying hard reseting fixes it just when i installed the touch 3.01 rom and installed as few programs as possible it didn't crash for a week but, last Thursdays picked it up turned it on started listening to music then it just crashed and wouldn't even turn on at all when i plug in the charger the light didn't turn on or anything taking it to the o2 shop tomorrow.

I would think if u were to claim u may still be able to claim from the warranty if flashing it doesn't void it i sure hope not but i also insured mine so if the warranty is void i still have a life line.
i also have the same problem... i have upgraded to wm 6, first day was OK. i put my arte in my back pocket... when i took it out, it was shut down.... first i thought that it was because i sat on it... but it didnt open after that... when i plug charger it doesnt charge... however i managed to charge the battery fully... if i take the battery for a period of time.. it seems to work but crashes again, slowly going in black screen with a green vertical line in the center...
what should i do? please help me... unfortunately there's no htc shop here in turkey...
Sending it back to T-Mobile
I just called T-Mobile and have to send it off to the repair centre. Apparently i have a 24moth warrantee on this phone... Let’s hope they replace the phone

I am affraid that you lose the warranty because u flashed (updated) your orginal ROM.
Mayby damaged is only storage of ROM - memory chip
i didn't lose my warranty on mine maybe because they couldn't turn the phone on to check it out properly, i just got it back yesterday with the official o2 rom and no questions asked. b4 u take it back if u can flash the official T-Mobile rom then their shouldn't be any problem i would think.
I have same problem can someone point me in the right direction for the rom please same phone
Hi all ,
I have been using my UK orbit for about a year with no problem (so far). For the the past two weeks though after a random use of 2 to 5 minutes it freezes! It either stays with what is on screen or returns a white screen. From today also the led is not turning on while charging and it wont turn on !!
I tried re flashing, rebooting, putting back the older ROM but the symptoms happen, no matter what ROM or application is used.
A few days before this started if a remember correct I had bled dry the battery (in flight). But everything was ok for some time.
I would be really glad if someone could help me out, I really like ORBIT and wouldn't like to leave it. Keep up the good work for this magnificent site
I had the exact same problem with my P3300. It's a malfunction in the Motherboard. I've called the dutch helpdesk and because a hard reset didn't do much good the PDA was picked up later that day to be sent to Eurotwice, the repair station in Belgium. I got my phone back 2 weeks later, I started it and it froze again! So I immediatly called HTC Netherlands and again, the P3300 was picked up by UPS that afternoon. The second time I wrote a letter to the repair station and sent it with my phone. In another topic on another website I read that some other phone with the same problem had been fixed by replacing the motherboard. I got my phone back today and it works great! It hasn't crashed today, and I have confidence it won't in the future. So my tip to you and anyone who experiences this problem: Call the HTC helpdesk in your country and ask them to sent your PDA to a repair station. It might take a while but they fix it well! By the way, you have 2 years full garantee so it didn't cost me anything! Great service from HTC!
i've had a desire (normal version) since the day it was released. but when the HD came out, i just had to have it.
in the beginning everything was just fine with my HD.
but since a little while, the simcard is acting weird.
yesterday afternoon i put the simcard in (had to use a different phone for a day), and everything worked fine. no problems at all.
this morning i woke up, and i looked at the screen of my HD.
no reception, and a little warning telling me to set the time and date.
(it has done this before, it started about a week after i got it).
i try calling, but the phone says "no simcard".
i remove the backcover, and there was my simcard. still in perfect position.
i even tried a little piece of paper to really squeeze the card in.
i took out the simcard, cleaned it (just in case), put it back in and turned off the phone.
a minute later, i turned on the phone again and everything was fine again.
but it's just a matter of time before the phone will say that there is no simcard.
it does this almost every other day, and it's really really annoying.
(it does this to with other simcards)
if i put my simcard in another phone, i don't have any problems, only the HD does this.
can somebody please help, because it's really annoying if i have to restart the phone every other day because it won't recognize the simcard anymore.
If a hard reset (back to factory defaults) doesn't fix this then I'm afraid it sounds like hardware fault and you'd need to get the phone replaced.

i can't get it replaced (i've been told).
a few weeks ago the phone fell and the screen broke. the screen has been replaced but i've been told that i don't have any warranty on it because of the repair.
the thing i don't understand is, why work perfectly for a whole day (sometimes even more) and without warning all of the sudden the simcard isn't recognized anymore.
with hardware faults the fault should be there all the time, not just after a certain amount of time.
Hardware fault can still be intermittent just like a mechanical fault.
How did the hard reset go?
Sent using witchcraft via XDA Developers Premium App.
i used this guide for the hard reset: http://www.hard-reset.com/htc-desire-hd-hard-reset.html
that was about a month or two ago.
the phone still acts as if there is no simcard sometimes.
the hard reset didn't do anything. (except for losing some data...).
Then if it does this with every SIM card you tried and the SIM cards all work fine in other phones (ruling out SIM card issue) I don't know what else it could be other than hardware.
Software issue can discounted as you have done a reset.
How long getting it back from screen replacement? If not long I'd blame that and insist they repair it.

i had to sent it twice actually.
the first time they had it for about 2 weeks because they had to wait for parts.
then i got it home, but the glue for the screen didn't stick well enough (1 corner got loose) so i called them and they fixed it for free.
this time they had the phone for about 2 weeks again.
but how the hell am i gonna explain why the simcard holder was affected by the replacement of the screen?
You don't.
The phone has to be pulled apart to change screens and anything could have happened.
If it was only a week ago you got phone back or less I'd just contact them and say "ever since I got phone back this has happened" and ***** till they agree.
Sent using witchcraft via XDA Developers Premium App.
made the call, the're gonna look into it.
so i'll have to sent my phone again, and wait for the're findings.
they first check if it has to do with previous repairs, if not it's not covered by the warranty.
*sigh...*
been sending it up and down for the last couple of months...

yeah... i found that one out the hard way.....
well, i just got my phone back. the statement they included says "no error found".
those goddamn f%$#^&% probably didn't even test it out.
it doesn't act up immediatly, it usually happens after a day or so.
maybe they couldn't find any hardware problems, but i know it's still acting up.
i'll just wait till tomorrow to see when the phone stops working.
Just call them back and point out it is intermittent and often takes 24-48 hours after inserting a SIM for it to fail again. Just keep at them.
yeah i will.... on monday.
if i call now, they'll say "send it to us, and we'll have a look".
they don't work in the weekend, so i might as well wait till monday and have a few days with me precious phone.
i haven't seen it in such a long time, i'm starting to miss it...my precious... ;-)
but on the serious side, i really wander what the problem could be. i just don't understand why it suddenly stops recognizing my simcard.
i'm not able to fix it, but i'm still curious.
I recently bought a new note 2, and everything was good and I love it!
But yesterday I was on the phone to a friend and initially I tried putting him on speaker phone, but the screen wouldn't turn on, only the soft touch keys at the bottom lit up. I thought nothing of it and continued my phone call.
It wasn't until he hung up I noticed i still coudn't the damn thing on. So i removed the battery and re inserted it. Here's where things get interesting though, now whenever i try to power it up, i get a little red light in my proximity sensor (i think) that flashes for about half a second.
I've tried soft rest, which does the same thing ( makes the proximity sensor light up for half a second)
Hard reset which does the same thing.
I haven't rooted the phone or anything. Luckily its still under manufacture warranty and I'll get samsung to have a look at it, but any thoughts on what it could be?

Well, I can tell the that the red light is normal, I get that too and its just because its booting up, when you turn your phone on, what happens exactly?
Thanks for the reply. When I press the power button, around a second later the red light blips for half a second and turns off, but the OS doesn't boot up and nothing happens.

Hmmm, This is the first time I heard of a situation like this... Try searching on the site or probably wait for someone to reply....

Maybe you too.... Sorry that sucks.
This PSA was sent Flow style from my Note 2 N-7100
Now i am really getting worriyng about this, does note2 has started SDS ?
atleast 3-4 cases are reported with same symptoms.
Anyway can you tell
You were on which ROM when this happened?
Are you getting to reboot in recovery/download mod?
@dingokevin I had a read over the thread you linked, and I fear the worst has happened to my note 2. This seems like a serious issue and even a flaw with the motherboard perhaps? Thank the lord it is still under warranty. R.I.P old friend.
@dr.ketan Im not sure what SDS stands for... Yeah I was running stock touchwiz 4.1.1 I think. No modifications and no root what so ever, and nope :/ I tried holding down volume down key + home button + power but no cigar, just the proximity light flashes briefly.
SDS - sudden death syndrome
And if you are unable to get into download/recovery mode then nothing can be done except send it to service station. it highly suggests sudden death which is very known issue for SGS3.
Replying to your query at other thread, you will get motherboard replacement if it is under warranty.
Ahh thats probably whats happened then. Thanks guys, I'll send it off to samsung and have a word or two with them to see why this is happening to many people!
If possible share outcome here too.

Or could be that screen was damaged somehow.
Sds bug generally happened due to long time in sleep mode.

I was just reading up on some possible causes here on XDA with peoples S3's and someone suggested corrupted NAND memory.. I think this maybe the case because before the phone call I had installed Gangster Rio (which i honestly did purchase off the play store, hand on heart) and after playing it for a while decided to un install it and get a refund. Could me doing this have caused the NAND memory to corrupt? The game is a pretty large file...

I highly doubt it was screen damage, imho. I only received the phone last friday and have been cradling it like a fragile little baby, Its never been out of my sight lool.
Maybe i just got really unlucky and ended up with a faulty device.
If screen fault then in such case usually you can hear boot up sound. It seems your case very well fits to sds category only.

Hi Guys,
Got up this morning having left my Note 2 turned on and on charge overnight to discover this same fault -
slow flashing Red light and phone totally dead.
Unable to do anything to rectify the situation.
Still under warranty of course, phone only released in October 2012.
Is this a fault with the phone which necessitates replacement or just a battery problem?
Would be grateful for any advice / guidance / help.
Thanks,
Mike Longley.

It seems also like SDS send it to Repair AFAIK is a chip problem, not battery so you can't do anything to repair it. If it is under warranty and with counter at 0 send it. They must repair it.

*UPDATE*
10 Days after HTC received the phone at repair centre its finally been repaired and is now in the "Device Packing" stage....... must have alot to repair as last time i sent a phone in (HTC One X) i had it sent, repaired and returned to me in 5 days
Hi
i also just bought an HTC M9, huge fan of HTC.
Anyways, i had the same problem where the vibration stopped working at times. If i hit the phone on one of the sides, it worked for a while, and while i was diagnosing, i could hear that something was loose inside, so i decided to get all the gear needed (did not wanna bother with sending it in and spend 14 days without a phone, its 2016 FFS ), and open the phone, easy enough.
Inside i could see a piece of loosened solder metal, and after i removed this its been working fine ever since.
So my guess is that this piece of solder metal is a common weakness of this phone and would at times get stuck between motor.
So if your motor is not working, try *#*#3424#*#*, run vibration test and listen for small clicking noises, if thats there, then im certain its the same fault as i had in my phone.
Hello, for those who have the problem of vibration that no longer works, before sending it in for service try the following steps (I so I solved the problem!):
Remove the microSD slot and blow hard inside.
Magically my M9 has started to vibrate forever ....
Hey guys, just wanted to share my experience. I too had the exact same problem. Few taps on the right corner and vibration was back, but always stopped working again.
I tried the "blow hard" method and didnt work.
Took my M9 to my local tech-hardware guru and after opening it we found the problem. Seems that the motor is defective, its like "really tight" in its interior. For the amount of posts on this thread could be a faulty batch of motors that HTC installed on some devices.
What he did was desoldier the 2 cables that bo to the motherboard, raplced with another motor he had on stock. Its not the original one, but one that fitted perfectly. Solder it again and vuala! Worked perfectly.
Only thing i noticed after the quick fix was the motor he installed does not have the same "power" or "feeling" as the original, seems a bit a TINY BIT less powerfull, but works perfecly.
So if you have this problem, just take it to your local tech saavy guy or if you have warranty sent it to HTC, but the tech guy fix will be 100 times faster. he fixed mine in 10 minutes.
Regards!

Got M9 and same problem occured, glad to found this thread. Smack on my knee, so it get bump not so hard and it's working again. Gonna try with blowing SD tray next
