Here's a wierd one,
No problem with flashing several roms but now the phone will not turn on.
Sometimes I can get it to turn on by connecting to mains charger and then let it 'charge'. Mind, there are no lights at all indicating the charge is working. Then, if I remove the charge cable then remove the battery only for a little time and replace it the phone may turn on.
bugger !
doesnt sound god
try take out the batt for 1 houre and then set it back in before trying to turn it on attack it to the c´harger and see if it begin to light as it shut
Thanks will try
Do you have another battery to try? it could be an issue with that
looks like a battery issue, but you can't be sure until you try it.
Yes folks thanks, I have three (yes sad) batteries, the original which used to last barely a day, then the official HTC extended and also a Mugen 3000mAh monster. There is definatively a problem with power getting through when the phone is off. Even when I manage to get it on, if I soft reset is stays in the off state. Also, when plugged in there are no charging lights at all. It does charge when on, the lights work and of course the software indicates it is charging. Problem now though, it's been off for two days and I just can't get it back on. I want to try a stock rom to see if this helps. It's my own fault, I know the risks with cust roms but this seems to be more hardware you know. Thanks again.

Hey Guys,
I am running the Cell Pro 9.5 ROM and since yesterday my phone doesnt turn on.
So this is what happened, I never got a chance to recharge my phone yesterday and so I used it to the very last bit of juice. The phone kept switching itself off with the critical level battery warning and I kept turning it back on. So it got to a point where it wasn't switching on at all. So I pluged in the phone to the computer to charge and left it there for approximately an hour (the orange charging light was on), came back and tried to switch the phone back on and it didnt respond at all. Took out the battery, tried the soft reset button etc and everything else I thought of with no luck. So I plugged it back on and suddently it turned back on, did the boot up, loaded the touchflo and I saw the battery level was at "0" and then suddenly it turned of with a "tuck" sound (similar to a PC when you hold down the power button or turn the power off without shutting down). This has been repeating since then, I have left it plugged in and every 5-10 minutes or so the phone switches on by itself and shows the boot screen, go all the way till HTC animation and powers off suddenly. I have had no luck in turning the phone back on, I dont what is causing the issue - wether its the battery or the phone.
Please give me your thoughts....I am completely lost without my phone...
- issue was that the phone kept restarting as soon as the battery stored enough charge for a reboot. I pulled out the battery at one of the restart cycle as advised below and stopped it from repeating it. After that the phone let the battery charge without a restart, did not mess with it for a long while.
Never let the battery drain all the way down to 0%. Not sure if it affects the battery, but it sure will give you enough hassle that you wont repeat it.

The same thing happened to me last night... but mine works now. what I thought it was is that it kept turning on as soon as it had enough battery to do so then it would die and repeat... So every time it would turn on
I would take the battery out and let it charge some more and then when it quit turning back on I left it overnight and now its on...

Ok....I will try that and report back....
Sorry you pull the battery then the cord then put the battery back in then cord. Also it will take a lot longer if you charge it on the computer.
Never mind mine quit working again...

I managed to get it charging after pulling out the battery and putting it back again. Charged it through a computer cause i dont have my charger with me.
I turned it on and the battery said 40% and now every second or so it is dropping by 1%. I can literally watch it dropping down sitting here. The phone doesnt want to charge when it is on. I plug in the usb and the LED turns orange and then turns off. Now the battery is at 25%, This is litterally in about a minute or less. I dont know whats wrong, is it the Battery?
I had this exact same thing happen to me twice on previous HTC hardware (wizard). The first time I couldn't save it and just had to buy a new battery. However, the second time it happened I was able to resurrect it once I got it plugged into a higher-current charging source, like the wall charger it came with, or even most car chargers (that's how I saved it when I couldn't get to my wall charger). I had to let it sit on there for about an hour before it held enough charge to stay on, and another 2 hours before it was fully charged, but it worked just fine after that.
You battery may indeed be toast from what you describe. I have had the experience of totally discharging the battery and the device not coming on at all. I recommend that if you do this, you should fully charge it using the wall charger NOT the computer (if the computer works at all. it didnt in my case). I have done this a few times now and the battery turned out fine each time.

My issue seamed to be fixed. I had to rely on a computer as I didnt have access to my charger and by the time I did my phone was at approximately 65% charge. I plugged it in and charged it all the way to 100%. Replugged it and left it for a little more while to make sure it got charged completely. I have been using it since today morning 9am and now it is 2pm at 73% after couple of calls, messages and emails.
Few more charging cycles with the wall charger and I am hoping it will be back to normal.
Well I was using my Evo just about 30 mins ago and the battery was low so after a couple of minutes it died. I tried turning it back on just to see if it was really completely dead and well it turned on got to the homescreen and it shut off again. At this point I go grab my charger and intend to charge the phone and the darn thing wont charge, at least thats what it seems like to me. Is the led charging light suppose to come on when the battery is dead and charging? Theres nothing going on right now its just there supposedly charging. I tried turning it back on and nothing happens, I removed the battery and put it back tried turning it on again and nothing. I also tried charging it while connected to a pc and it would detect my evo but all that would popup was that "qualcomm cdma technologies driver" could not be found. Im starting to worry because I haven't had any issues at all with my Evo. I was doing nothing really to cause it to brick not that I'm saying it is, I hope not. just browsing the internet while the phone was on and it died. My phone would charge just fine while it was on and never had an issue with the battery. I was running Cm6 10/7 nightly I believe with KingKernel #2. So is it suppose to take a while for the led to come on? is it suppose to be on? Is my phone dead? Help will be appreciated.
with it plugged into the wall charger or the pc turn the phone on and let it charge with the phone on.
letting these batteries run completely dry until your phone is dead and shuts off is B A D you can and will kill the battery.
i hope you didnt kill the battery.... but.. if you have a nbatteries plus near you you can go buy one cheaper than thru sprint. and have your phone running today. it might not say its a battery for the EVO but it uses the same battery as countless other HTC phones.,
you can also try walmart, best buy, and any place that sells or carries htc phones and accessories.

The thing is my phone wont even turn on or at least give me a sign that its charging its just sitting there connected to the charger but no led light. Does that mean theres something wrong with my phone or the battery? My pc still detects my phone but doesn't charge it. This is the very first time I actually let the battery completely die. Either way I'm going to try getting a new battery hopefully it helps.

so with the phone off, or what appears to be off, your pc still sees something connected... that isnt right, that sounds like the phone is hibernating or in a sleep mode.
so... what happens if you hold Vol Down, and then hold Power...
does it turn on to the fastboot/recovery menu ?
i guess you could try pulling the batter and just plug in the usb cable and try turning on the phone.
technically it should run without the battery (like a laptop will if you plug it into AC power) but i do not know. it probably wont turn on at all.
i would say take your bad batteyr with you and see if someone like Batteries Plus can test it, or Radio Shack.
all else fails, you buy a new one and hope it isnt the phone thats bad.
you can always take it to the sprint store. they wont screw with it, just tell them to see if their battery will make it turn on properly.
Hi to all, last night my desire ran out of battery and i' was nowhere near my charger cause i left it at my office.
i try to turn it on and send txt message but it was automaticaly turned off again before i can get to the homescreen.
without waiting too long i try to turn it on again and still i can't get to write a single letter cause it was automaticaly turned off itself again.
this morning when i get my hands on the charger i quickly plug the charger but the amber light aren't turning on, yes my desire wont turn on either, i try to connect it with adb and when i type adb devices the adb tool shows there are no devices connected.
Please help me how to turn my Desire on again, fyi i already plug the charger for more than half hour without any led on my phone lights on.
Anyone knows any workaround on this problem, maybe experiencing the same issue?
Thank's in advance
If you're using the stock battery which is Li-on, then the problem might be that you killed it by forcing the usage after the shutdown. Li-on batteries should NEVER be juiced out to a true 0%, or it will die. That's why the Desire turns off most of the time between 10-15% to make sure this doesn't happen. (Other mobile phones do this too, but they report it to you as 0% instead of the arbitrary 10-15%) I do hope so that this is not the case with your problem. Sorry if I only gave an explanation instead of a solution, but that's all I can think about right now.

try removing the battery and put it again. then plug the charge. wait for some time. hopefully it should fix it, else you need to try replacing your battery if it was not replaced recently.

Thank's a lot for your respond my friends
My friend help me by trying to manually (connect the - and the + terminal with his blackberry charger) charge my battery for about a minute and then quickly insert the batt and plug the charger.
The orange light lit again but it took about 7 hours to reach 100%, after i unplug, the batt went down faster than Rossi's motoGP bike
2 hours standby and it went off.
I thought it better be charged again with the phone off and so i did.
After about 20 min, my phone vibrates as if there were a call coming in (phone was off) so in a rush i quickly unplug the phone and took the batt off (i'm worried it will damage my phone)
Since then, the batt won't recharge AGAIN, the orange led aren't lit no more.
Sorry for those long letters, one more question, do you guys think i have to get new battery or should i try to do the charging again?
Thank's in advance
My bet is the battery is gone

New battery is about £35.. dunno how much that is in Indonesia. I'd strongly recommend buying an original battery also, not a cheap knock off - bad ones can have very poor battery life, overheat, melt (even "explode" sometimes), and just in general kill your phone.
thank's a lot guys, will be lookin' for the genuine replacement today, tell ya the result later.
Thank's again for answering my worries
edit:
Ok guys, i got my genuine new battery which cost me around 24-26 Euro's
Test the battery at the store to show that it was charging and it was charging ok so i turn off the phone and go home.
Plug the charger as soon as i get home and the orange led didn't lit, to make the story short i presume that something is wrong with my phone, it drains the battery whether the phone was on or off!
Sending to the Collect Point for sure tonite after work.
Thank's a lot for you who read and answer my question.
Hi guys!
I bought my new HTC One X on contract with three UK about 10 days ago. Been working great and I've flashed several different roms on it, the latest being the AOKP jelly bean.
I was in the middle of setting up my Go Launcher last night, when the phone suddenly died. I thought it must have just crashed following some rom/kernel issue, so I tried to turn it back on, no luck. Also tried holding the power button down but to no avail.
I supposed that it might have run out of battery, as it was fairly low at the time, so I left it charging on USB (with the indicator light flashing) all through the night (around 9 hours) and this morning it still won't turn on.
The screen won't come up at all, and the phone doesn't vibrate or make any noise but if I connect it to my computer it will sometimes be detected and I can see the device in ADB.
"adb devices" first shows the device as offline, then if I run "adb kill-server" and try again then it shows the device as "HT23YW105462 recovery".
I've then tried running commands such as "adb reboot", "adb reboot-bootloader", "adb reboot -p" but no luck. The phone seems to recognize the command as it disconnects, but it doesn't turn back on.
Any theories guys? I hope my new toy hasn't been bricked somehow! If this happened to my Desire HD I'd just take the battery out to make sure it was fully off and try again... is this a good idea here?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give! Many cookies will be given as reward. (sorry for the long post )
- P.s. This is pretty urgent as I use this number for work!
:victory:
Ok, it seems to have been resolved at last... just for anybody who gets the same issue, here's what worked for me.
After doing some more searching I found someone mentioning this method: Leave the phone plugged in to your USB port for a while until the orange LED flashes. Leave it flashing for a few minutes, then quickly swap the lead from your USB port to a wall charger. If you leave it unplugged too long then it seems the LED stops flashing and it won't work, so do it quickly.
If successful the LED will keep flashing while plugged into the wall, and it will start to charge up. Give it a while (I left mine for about 25 minutes) then try and turn it on. This worked for me, but even after this period of time it had only charged up to 2%!
:S This is an odd phone indeed.
Very strange resolution IMHO.
This problems must be caused by discharging the battery more than it should (which I guess custom ROMs can cause)

Very strange indeed... I tried pretty much everything I could before this, but this was the only thing to get the phone to boot. Charging and working fine now :S. I'll have to make sure to never run it flat if I can help it, this would be a right pain if it it happened while I was out
Just saved from similar issue
My battery run out last night when I had the phone connected to the tv through USB>HDMI when i put it on the charger the charging light would not switch on. Phone wouldnt switch on either it was really dead!. Left it all night hooked up to charger and this morning still nothing, wouldnt switch on.
So I Hooked it up to the PC and after 10 minutes or so the light started to flash and I quickly inserted the usb charging cable and it started to charge.
Pretty sure I either discharged the battery to much (did update to 7.2.2 yesterday with 30% bat), OR something to do with having the USB>HDMI cable inserted when the battery run out.
Odd but brought it back to life (phew!)

Hmm, seems like a pretty common fault. Maybe an app that cuts power to the phone when it reaches a critical limit might be a good idea... I noticed that most phones seem to turn themselves off before fully dead, whereas ours now seem to completely flatten themselves. At least if it shut down at 1% you could still turn it back on when you found a charger, and it could tell you why your screen was about to go black rather than "poof, gone".
Anybody know such an app? Or should I make one (been wanting to get my hands dirty)
wont turn on

Okay so I have searched about and found no proper answer to my issue.
I have had to dig out my old HTC TP2 since I need a second phone and I loved this thing.
I recently bought a new battery for it because I recall it having an issue with life before i replaced it.
Now it wont stay on or charge properly.
It shows and orange charge light right, then when it gets enough juice to actually power the phone, it vibrates, turns on, then turns off.
If i try the hard reset option (power button and 2 buttons on front) it goes to the bootloader screen then powers off again.
Should I just donate it to the concrete?
Of have you magicians on this awesome site found this issue in the past and squashed it?
Thanks team
**It seems to be getting just enough power to the battery to turn the phone on, then it turns off.
Not sure why its even turning on, shouldn't it be charging and stay OFF until I turn it on?

You could try an external charger. Then put the battery back in the phone with it at 100% to see what it does. The generic battery chargers are cheep on ebay.

Or if you have 2 batteries - get the phone booted with one battery, then swap batteries while the phone is running.
I used to do this in Android on the TP2, I assume it works on WinMo...
