Removing Storage Card by using external power supply - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Hi all,
if i have plugged in the power supply to the phone and remove the battery, is then the phone switches off at all or does it looses power at all?
Cheers

I don't think you can run such a device only on external power supply without a battery inside, so the device will most probably turn off even when Charger is plugged in.

??
Why not just try it for yourself?

I have no such device. And sold my Wizard a couple of weeks ago. Cheers

Touch pro 2 not booting!!!!

Hi, recently my touch pro 2 doesn't want to boot. It happened when I was using my phone on the net and the phone just ran out of battery.
Then it turned off. Afterwards I hooked it up on the PC usb charger. So i was awaiting for the phone to charge but then it just decides to 'turn on' unexpectedly - it will show the boot screen and then the windows mobile - then it just blanks and turns off.
I HAVEN'T done any of the following: hard reset or go to booting.
Is there anyway you guys can help me on what step I should do! please! thanks
* P.S
I Have no NOT rommed my phone at all. Just the normal touch pro that came with the phone.
have you tried charging your batterie the normal way instead of true usb? Maybe that wil help.
If that doesn't work and if you are sure that the batterie has sufficiend power try to hard reset.
I have this exact same problem...I'll lay out how I've tried (and failed) to fix it for anyone who knows what they're doing to look at.
I have tried both hard resetting and soft resetting, when hard resetting it does not have enough time to complete before turning off again. Soft resetting just continues the process.
Trying the whole convoluted 'disable usb connections in activesync, then use a usb port sniffer' method also doesn't work, because the phone doesn't stay on long enough.
When plugged into both the computer and wall it has the orange charging light on, but other than turning on uptil the vodafone screen and vibrating a bit, pressing any button does nothing.
Thanks in advance even if no one can help - it'll help me kill time till I can be bothered to go all the way to the vodafone shop!
I've experienced this before and it is happening because the battery is too low to power on your device.
Plug it in to the wall charger and let it charge. It may turn on by itself and then shut down due too extremely low power but if you keep it plugged in via the mains Charger (wall charger) it will get enough power and you'll be back to normal.
joker, if it started the hard reset process and then restarted before the hard reset was complete, you might need to either redo the hard reset process or go it into bootloader mode and re-flash your rom.

This is the way to handle indeed.
Just let it charge from the mains for a while (15 minutes should be enough) before powering it on.
USB just does not provide enough power to charge your device, I have my TP2 on USB throughout the day, and the battery even slowly loses charge as my laptops USB port simply cannot provide enough juice...
Thank you so much guys - it works, and now I feel like a right idiot haha. Well thanks, I'll learn to charge it by mains from now on .

Depends, but certainly regardless USB provides less current than the supplied charger does.
I have multiple laptops, a few of my own at home, several here at work of various makes and models, and it depends.. One in particular seems to provide as much current over USB as the AC charger as the phone charges as fast as I'd expect it to there, others as you say barely charge the phone at all unless it's idle and off. Most of these laptops however do charge the phone, just slowly.

[Q] Droid Incredible 2 won't turn on or charge.

I have had this problem before, right after I got the DINC2. Yesterday, I wanted to take out my memory card to save pictures on my computer via a usb card reader. I turned my phone off by pressing the power button and selecting power off. I removed my battery, and then removed the memory card. After transferring my pictures, I placed the memory card back in the DINC2, and placed the battery and cover back on the device. I pushed the power button, and NOTHING. The phone won't turn on. I plugged it in to the charger, and the amber light won't even come on. I thought it might be the charger, so I used the USB cord attached to the computer, and still no charging light. I have removed the battery overnight, and just let it set. When I reinstalled the battery this morning, still nothing. The charging light does not come on, and I can't power up the device.
I had this problem before. I had let the battery run down to nothing and the device powered itself off. Same scenario, the charge light would not come on when plugged into the charger, and I couldn't power up the device. I left the battery out overnight, and the next morning the device still wouldn't power on. I placed the phone in my car, and plugged in my car charger. After a few minutes, the amber light came on, and I was able to power up the device. This, however, did not work this time. Nothing I try helps.
Is this a common problem? How should I go about getting this resolved?
Update: I called Verizon CS, and they are shipping out a new (refurb I guess) device. The rep had never heard of this either. Strange indeed.
Thanks

P8000 Dead?

I unplugged my Elephone P8000 yesterday, and now it won't power on. My PC nor does SPflash recognize that it is plugged in. I pulled the battery, an it is literally puffy/mushy. Now, I've perfected restoring my P8000 from a bricked state, so I'm 99.99% positive it is hardware related.
I pulled the battery, and plugged it in with micro usb + power adapter, and it still will not power on. I'm not sure if it was designed not to power on without the battery present or not. With the battery pulled, and usb plugged in, the mainboard moderately warms up slightly, but it does not get hot. Should it power on with USB plugged in minus the battery?
The screen cracked in the center too a few weeks ago, but still powered on. Should I risk spending $15 on a new battery, or just consider it trashed?

Phone died over night, won't turn on. Any help?

My LG G7 seems to have died over night. I left it on a Qi pad to charge and after I woke up this morning, it was completely dead. I could not turn it on with the power button ow Vol- and power button. The phone shows no reaction.
I thought that I might have misplaced it on the charger (The phone is quite picky with the right spot) and plugged in my USB charger for about 10 Minutes until i tried to start it up again. No reaction. Tried Vol+ and Power and also Vol- and Power with no luck.
Then I started to investigate and plugged a USB power meter in between phone and charger.
My first try was a cabled USB connection, the power meter shows 5,1V with about 100mA (varying between 90mA and 110mA) and I left it charging for about an hour. Still no luck with any method of turning it on.
Then just to try it out, i placed it on my Qi pad with the power meter attached, which got me 9V with about 200mA, so the Qi hardware apparently is transmitting power. Also left it there for about an hour, still no luck.
I noticed some kind of buzzing sound coming from the phone while charging, if I place my ear directly on the phone. A similar but different noise is emitted by the phone when it is not charging and I hold the power button.
Does anyone here have an idea which might return the phone to life?
As I still have warranty, I consider sending it in. I have backups of the important stuff, but I would really like to avoid sending it in with all the private stuff sill on the internal memory...
What happens when ypu plug it into your pc?
+1 same problem.
Nothing show up when connecting to pc. (no mtp,adb,9008 and etc)
Long press vol- abd power button together

A5 2017 battery replacement

Hi guys,
hope you can help me with the following.
I recently got an A5 2017 which wasn't used for 2 years.
Obviously the battery was dead, which was confirmed using a voltmeter.
I ordered a new one, tested it with the voltmeter and installed it in the phone.
When I plugged it to charge, after a few seconds I can see the charging animation showing up, it's at almost 85% now.
But I tried and cannot start the phone.
I tried many keys combinaison with no success, all I can have is the phone's charging animation.
I dismantled the whole phone and none of the liquid sensor seems triggered.
I removed both SIM trays and SD card as well, no luck.
Only while plugged in to a socket turns on the screen with charging percentage.
I tried to connect the phone to USB to my laptop and it doesn't do anything.
Any suggestion here?
Thanks

Whilst unplugged, press and hold the power button for literally a minute. Release. Wait 10 seconds. Press and hold power until turns on.
It may work.
It may not
Worth a try
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd it switched on, I don't know why nor how.
I put the back cover in place (the one above the battery, not the one of the phone itself) which in my opinion links the power button to the motherboard itself (but I may be wrong) and it switched on after just a few seconds pressing the power button alone.
Hope this helps someone else, anyway thanks a lot for your reply which is much appreciated.
