I'm running a stock EVO and yesterday the phone decided to shut off on me. Right after the screen went blank the phone vibrated five times and the led on the front of the screen began to blink green until the battery was pulled. Now every time I try to boot up the phone it will start up just fine and at exactly 2:14 of awake/on time the phone will freeze, go black and vibrate five times then the flashing green led. I have no idea what is going on with it. Anyone else experience this issue?

I have a Tmobile HTC TP2 flashed with Energy Rom and it had been working fine for several weeks. Today the screen randomly turned off and the red light was on. I couldn't soft reset or anything, but removing the battery and putting it back and powering up worked. However, it only stays on for about a minute before the screen turns black again with the red light coming back on. Anyone know what is going on or how to fix this??

Red light ... do you mean the left hand light? That one is orange on my TP2. Is the unit hot to the touch on the back panel?
Yes the left hand light...after looking at it again it does appear to be orange, not red. The back panel does not feel hot, and when the screen goes black, the orange light appears to flicker a little bit as if there may be some kind of power issue or something (but is mainly solid orange like it is when it's charging), I'm not sure. I don't believe it's a problem with the actual battery, because I've tried using a different battery and have gotten the same results.
Edit: It is now staying on longer maybe a few hours compared to the minute or so it was staying on yesterday, but with the same turning off problems. Except I think it is just the screen that is turning off because if I play with the volume buttons, eventually I can hear the volume up/down sounds.
After searching through some forums, it seems it could be a 'Sleep of Death' problem...
I have strange behavior with my EVO as of late. The screen will no longer turn off when I hit the power button or when it is supposed to time out. The bottom buttons are always lit up and when I hit the power button the screen blinks off and then the lock screen comes up. The same thing happens when the screen is supposed to time out. It blinks and then the lockscreen comes up. This happens when it is plugged in and unplugged. I've tried using multiple ROMs and it does it with all of them. It just started 4 days ago after I got a text. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I would start by first backing up all of my data and then re-flashing the rom with a full wipe.
Last night everything was quite allright with my marvel. Then i slept. Morning when i woke up i tried to unlock the phone to check the time. But screen didn't show up. I tried several times but it didn't. So i removed the battery and started the phone. It took long time to boot (about 5 minutes on white htc screen). When it turned on touch screen didn't work. But hardware keys (volume, power) were working. I can boot into ClockworkMod Recovery (it also took long time to boot.) My rom was alquez's Cyanagenmod 7.2. I flashed it to another rom (Cyanagenmod 10.1). But the problem isn't solved. Phone starts desipite of long time but i can't do anything because of the touch screen doesn't work. Also i realized that proximity sensor always lids up (red). The light never off. Additionally phone powers on and loops into white htc screen when connected the charger. When connected charger while powered on the red notification light don't light up and charging very slow.
I was at the store and my phone was about 5% battery life, so I turned off my phone. And got home plugged my phone in the charger and came back couple minutes later. When I turned my phone on, I got the samsung logo then nothing else. I feel the phone vibrate when turning on. Then I heard my phone unlock but the screen was black with multi-color dots all over the screen. The LEDs, home, back, etc buttons light up fine, hear the volume when I turn it up but just get this black screen with those dots.
Yes I did flash an rom but thats been weeks ago and never had an issue. Its the carbon 4.2 rom.

can you get it in recovery
I tried but nothing.
Let me try to describe the problem. I have replaced a broken screen in my phone, put it back together without the back cover if that changes anything. When I try to boot, a red led flashes once, twice or three times, LG's logo appears on screen and the phone reboots. It is obviously plugged in. The phone is rooted.
Is is as simple as empty battery or am I ****ed?
EDIT now the logo itself blinks, couple of minutes ago only the LED was blinking.
