today i dropped my phone. I turned it back on and it worked fine.
so i was using it till battery ran out.
i came back home, tried to charge. . .
but phone was not charging, didnt show the light, i was not able to turn this phone on.
should i do odin or something to resurrect this?
Sometimes when the battery dies completely, it takes a while for it to become responsive. Take the battery out for a few minutes & then put it back in and try charging it again. Just leave it on the charger even if the light doesn't come on. Give it about an hour then pull the battery & try again. If that doesn't work, you may have messed up your charging/usb port. I would try a charged battery if you can.

I bet your battery died. Lithium polymer batteries can get too low, to the point that they wont take a charge. I highly suggest trying another battery before trying too many things. Simplest first, and I've seen this multiple times.
Edit : I was beaten to it! We replied at the same exact time.

I was charging my Evo on my computer today and all of a sudden my battery died. Now it won't turn back on. After the first attempts to turn it on it would only get as far as the first HTC Evo 4G screen, then it would turn back off. This happened about three times and now it won't do anything at all.
I also noticed that when I put it on the wall charger that the red LED light doesn't even come on anymore.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be or how to fix it? I hope it's only the battery, because I can replace that!!! But I hope that's it. I don't really have enough money to be buying a new phone right now.
PLEASE HELP....SOMEBODY PLEASE!!!
P.S.
I had just installed an app called "Juice Defender" about an hour before my phone died. It's an app that's supposed to make your phones battery life last longer. I didn't configure it or anything. I just installed it. If anyone is famillier with this app is it possible that this could have caused this issue?
Just pull the battery & put it back in, then stick it on the (wall) charger overnight. The battery's probably just super-dead.
If it's not fixed in the morning, take it to Sprint & let them test a different battery. If it's your phone they should give you a new one for free as long as you have insurance.
The battery is super drained, let it sit on the charger for a couple of hours.
It worked!!
I tried what you've suggested. I left it on the charger overnight. Around six, when I woke up, it still wouldn't work. I removed the battery one last time and put it back on the charger. Now, all of a sudden, the LED light came back on. It flashed on and off about six times and then it stayed on.
I'm really relieved. Gonna leave it on until it's fully charged.
Thanks for the info.
Just hope it doesn't happen again.
Well glad that it worked. Just be sure to when the Evo starts flashing the red notification light, you need to get it to a charger. If you're out and about, I turn mine completely off at that point.
Ok, So I had the crazy boot loop issue a while back and was unable to fix it. I tried several PC36IMG's and even ran a RUU to go back to stock. All that failed and had no choice to take it to a sprint store. The techs there were also unable to get it running, they had to give me a replacement.
So now the replacement I got was also running CM7. I noticed earlier this morning while I had it connected to the charger, it would not charge past 1%. I unplugged it a few times and also pulled the battery. Nothing worked, it was stuck at charging on 1%. I got a text from my wife and after I replied I noticed the battery displayed 98% charged. Within minutes the phone shut down. It will not power on at all. I tried leaving the battery out for 1/2 hour and still no dice. If I have it plugged in it doesnt even show a charging light anymore.
Any ideas???

Does anything happen if you were to press the down volume button while simultaneously pressing the power button? Battery inserted, of course.

Negative...nothing at all happenes. Weird thing is out of all the times I tried to turn the phone on, twice it booted to the white HTC screen very briefly and just powered back down. Im done working in 2 hours. I will try a different charger to see if it may possibly be a bad charger? I doubt it but maybe???
That happened to my daughters phone, turns out the cat chewed part of the charger wire.
Well that was freaking weird. When I got home I first tried my wifes charger and that didnt work. Then i tried my wife's battery. They must have changed the evo design. Before this refurb, her battery from the shift fit perfectly fine. This referb it doesn't fit. Anyways, after I tried her battery I tried her charger. It works now. I let it charge a few minutes and the phone now turns on. I tried my charger again and it works also. That's really weird, it wasn't working all day. I'm not sure what fixed it. The battery only goes in one way. I checked all the connection points on the battery and phone. Everything looks fine. I did flip my wife's battery around so I could make the connections touch to try and turn it on that way. But that didn't work. It did work when I put my battery back in and used her charger the second time. Maybe her battery shocked it back to life? I have no clue but all is back to normal and well now.

As long as it works, my friend, that;s all that matters. Glad you got it up and running. Have a great day....
I was internet browsing on MikG's Sense 2.1+3.0 rom, and suddenly, my phone just shuts off. So I pull off my protective case, then the back cover, thinking it was just overheated. It was warm, but not to the point where the fail safe kicks in and automatically shuts off the phone.
I've tried every fix that I could find, and nothing. I got it to turn on for a second maybe one or two times, and that's it. I have it plugged into my computer thinking maybe it's just really drained, even though I had a 90% charge. I don't think I have any other batteries to test it with (There's only my Evo, a Samsung Moment, and a LG Lotus Elite II).
So, any ideas?
Also, I bought this phone from Wirefly. Not sure if that really matters in the case of needing repairs or not.
My first guess is battery.
I ordered a new OEM one off Amazon. Hopefully it gets here before I leave for my trip.
Pull the battery and just plug into the wall. This would by pass the battery. Could have a bad charge port. Had that happen to mine. If all else fails smash it against a brick and say u fell on it to get a replacement

I tried pulling the battery and bypassing the battery entirely, but it didn't work.
Last night at about 12:30 in the morning, I plugged it into the wall, and fell asleep. A few minutes later I was woken up by the boot animation, and the phone is back on and working as normal again.
I'm still having the OEM battery shipped to me, just in case it is the battery, even the though the phone hasn't shut off once since then.

I had a similar issue with my old Touch Pro 2, It was the battery. Just food for thought.
So far the battery has held since the first incident. Won't have the new one till late next week probably.

USB charging doesn't always keep up with the phone. It only charges at .5a max. Use the wall charger to get the full 1a charge.
My EPIC 4G started acting up recently which wasnt a problem until now.
When i plug it in to charge while its off it turns itself on and boots up.
Before i used to turn it off and charge b/c it always charged faster but now i have a new battery that i was training. Somehow it drained the battery all the way down so when i go and charge it, it boots up. The problem is that there isn't enough battery to power my epic before it runs out so it never makes it through the whole boot up process.
now if i could get it so it went into charge mode i wouldn't have the problem anymore.
i checked in all the settings and i couldn't find an option for it.
thanks for the help

Let the battery charge with phone on for about 20 to 30 mins, then try it again. U might need to cycle the battery a couple times

it won't even start...it just cycles over and over again
i had it plugged in and it restarted at least 6x before i gave up

try plugging the charger into the phone with the battery off. see what it does. if it is only doing this with your new battery, there may be some kind of conflict with your new battery making the charging sensor think something odd.
Need more info
What rom?
×Marcusant
This happened to me on AOKP. ReOdin and repartition if you're up to it or on MTD. Flash your ROM again.
i had the phone running this morning with over 50% charge. i put it on charge to get it to the max before getting to work.. then the phone hanged and switched off..since it has happened before when the phone overheats, i thought it will reboot but since then its not detecting the charger. When i start charging the phones battery area heats up but the charging led is not seen. the dealer told me to charge it for an hour and try but that also didnt work..
any opinions or past experiences like this??
Can you boot into HBOOT? Power plus volume down.
Not sure if its the same thing but over the last 2 nights mine has done something similar and it is annoying the hell out of me!
On the first night as usual i switch my phone off (with about 10% battery left) and plug it in to the charger, wait for the charging light to come on, and go to bed. In the morning no light on and phone won't switch on? After a while of unplugging and plugging back in, pressing random buttons and head scratching the red light comes back on and i can start it up but the battery is completely flat and have to charge it up again?
Same thing happened again last night but this time i had about 50% battery??? Haven't looked into it properly yet as i thought it was a fluke but obviously its not! I'm running stock untouched phone so trying other roms etc isn't an option atm.
Will let you know if i find anything ;-)

Ok so i have had a few days of no problems but just woke up to another completely flat phone? It had 45% battery when i put it on charge and the charge light came on. When i woke up it had no light on and completely flat battery, it wouldn't switch on !!? Unplug the charger and plug it back in and then after a minute the charge light comes on and you can turn it on?? This is very annoying as last time it happened was at a weekend but i have to go to work now without a phone as I have no way to charge it :-(
This is a real pain as it doesn't always happen and when it does I'm asleep so i don't know till its too late?
