[Q] Desire dead?

Weird thing happened with my phone today. Was listening to some music and browsing the facebook at the same time and suddenly music changed to this high pitch noise and had pull pull out the headphones cos it was really loud.
Everything on the phone froze and I was not able to do anything. None of the buttons worked etc.
I ended up removing the battery and once inserted it back, and pressed the on button, phone wouldn't come back on. Not even a vibration.
I have just plugged it to my PC and can see the orange light as if it is charging. But still won't come on. If I try and turn it on, orange light disappers but if I take the battery out and back in again, starts to charge - orange light.
I know the phone was fully charged before I left work and this happened almost like 15-20 minutes later.
I will contact HTC tomorrow, but just wondering if they'll repair it as I have used unrevoked about a week ago to root the phone but I have not loaded any roms as yet - Still have the original t-mobile rom.

So the screen stays completly black when you power the device on ?
You might try to Hard reset the device.
I would recommend this anyway before giving the phone away.
Else you can try to boot into recovery.
Or connect to your PC via USB and see whats happening.

Boot into recovery by holding down Vol Down and powering on. Try clearing the cache and rebooting.
If it doesn't boot, I recommend, doing a full wipe and trying again.
If this still doesn't work then put a room on your SD card and flash.
If you can't boot to recovery then its a hardware fault or battery issue. I suggest going into your local Telco store and ask to test with another battery.
Good Luck

Further to this, this morning I have noticed that the battery light was green, so the battery is obviously charging.
I still cannot turn on the device using power + vol down.
Called HTC now and arranged a collection.

Issues with booting (blinking orange LED)

Hi there,
I'm having strange issues with DHD. I've read a few threads with issues like this, but symptoms are always slightly different.
Yesterday, I've connected it to the charger (the battery was empty), and when I tried to turn it on, it just did 3 vibrations and orange notif. LED started blinking. When connected to the USB, the Windows recognizes device as Qualcomm, and further reading suggested that the phone is entering service mode, which is normally accessible with Power + Vol+. I've also found out that volume rocker can be the issue, but in my case I don't see anything wrong with it, it's working and looking like before.
No matter what I did, it always did the same, it won't even go into recovery (Power + Vol-), screen always stays blank, the only activity I'm getting are flashing LEDs and vibrations.
Also, phone is charging when turned off (battery removed and reinserted). I've charged it for a few hours yesterday and the green LED was on.
And finally, when turned off, and plugged into the USB, after few seconds, adb devices will show the device, and after the serial number it says recovery. Does that mean that the phone booted into the recovery? The screen is still black though.
So, the most important thing for me is to find out is it possible to return the phone back to stock, in order to send it for a repair. And even better, a solution for the problem

I believe its a hardware problem, although adb says its in recovery. Any more ibfo you could give us? ROM, how you rooted it etc?

thanks don't hurt ya know?

Take off battery,connect phone to charger via USB for 3 minutes ,than insert battery put battery cover now u should see orange light ,now press power button and voila
It's an issue with the volume rocker I think

Had a very similar issue when I had IceColdSandwich on my DHD, only started when I flashed that Rom, reflashed a different Rom, everything is fine again!

I'm not sure that the issue is with ROM, I'm starting to think that it's probably a hardware issue. And that's why I need to found out how to return everything to stock, and send it for warranty.

Try again it will work .may be leave it longer after you put the battery in like an hour .it should work after an hour press the power button

Today, i visit the service, flat cable and battery where reinserted and everything is normal now. You could try this method if you have a warranty. Best regards.

Thankyou so much after leaving phone in cupboard for like 5 years and forgot why it was on there I decided to plug it up. Then I remembered it wouldn't turn on and I was getting the orange blinking. After following your instructions it's all on again. Have upgraded since then so I guess this is a back up phone now lol

[HELP] Screen off, vibrating continuously

Hi,
My phone has been working fine since I did S-off and installed a LeeDroid 2.3 ROM a year ago. This wednesday I had to install another ROM because of boot loop problems with the previous one. I used VJ CM10.1 v5.3 which worked amazing for almost 2 days. Yesterday at night while the phone was charging I couldn't unblock it (black screen) and the orange led kept light event without usb cable. I removed the battery and since then the phone only vibrates continuously when I turn it on. Even without battery if I use an USB cable it starts vibrating inmediatly, of course with any screen response (in the dark you can see a very light attempt to start the screen but nothing else). The PC don't detect anything when I plug it and I can't use any key combination to get to Recovery.
I wasn't doing anything dangerous, only charging but the ROM was only 2 days old. Does anybody now what is happening or how could I fix it? Sorry if It has been responsed but I think not (It's no the 7 vibrations problem).
I can provide more information if needed.Thanks a lot.

Take out the battery, hold the power button for 10 seconds, then try to boot.

Same result. It only vibrates. I'm considering hardware fault (is 2 years and half old) but as I changed the ROM this week seems to be somewhat related.

Before we come to a conclusion, let's try all the stuff we can.
Does the phone boot in hboot?

No, all key combinations apparently have the same result.

The last thing i'd like you to try is putting your phone in the freezer with the battery taken out. Who knows, maybe it will boot afterwards.
If not, then send it to a service.

Thanks a lot, I will try. By the way, I've started saving money to buy the Nexus 4

AW: [HELP] Screen off, vibrating continuously
You will love the N4
Anyway good luck on saving the life of your desire!

HELP!Xperia S won't turn on after changing the battery!

Recently I have changed my battery,since my phone wouldn't charge even if my charger is plugged in.Anyways I changed the battery and as soon as I turned it on (without a charger) phone turned on,got trough the boot animation and when it was just about to get finished it just turned off,and started rebooting.So I was scared a little bit since I have a custom rom on a locked bootloader,scared of bricking my device or something.Anyways when it started rebooting it turned off again,and than it just started the screen off and on,screen off and on.And no sony logo or anything.It just puts screen on and off.The LED light is off to,at the first booting it was normal.Just a note,the phone hasn't been working (turned on) for a month.I am thinking it's something wrong about the contact with the battery and the phone.The contact is not good I am thinking.Also there is no regular first vibration after turning on the phone.And I have tried volume button up and power button combination,and there are four vibrations (first one,and after that three consecutive).So anyone got an idea what it might be?What's the problem.Please if you have anything on your mind,let me know.Oh yeah and again one more thing.When I put my old battery in (the broken one) there is an LED light,but not turning on obviously lol.

And how exactly am I going to do that by having a phone with 0% battery?

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact won't turn on - just red flashing light (still in warranty)

Hello All,
I had about 40% battery yesterday evening and in the morning I found phone turned off.
Tried to turn on - no luck.
Plug to the wall charger - a red light appeared and started blinking in a loop (3s red, 1s pause, 3s red etc.)
Tried with different charger - same as above.
Conected to laptop through USB - red light as normally when charging but no battery icon and scrren still black. Tried to turn on and blinking come back.
I left on charging for a while and tried hard reset (power button + volume up) - nothing.
Tried also a magic reset buttonnear the SIM card slot it vibrates 3 times but it didn't turn on
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Try to charge your phone using the wall charger for at least one full day. If that still doesn't work, try getting into fastboot mode(Vol up while inserting USB into PC), and check if you get a fastboot device. If so, try reflashing the stock via flashmode. If not, I think your battery is dead.
(I had an issue like that on my N4 once, but never on my X1C.)

Hello Jayc94,
If Max1220 tips doesn't work, just use the warranty.
I had the same issue as you, and i sent it back 3 times, using the warranty. As far as i remember, you don't have to pay anything.
My advice, when you get it back from the repair shop, in the package, you have an intervention report. Check exactly what they did. Follow their procedure to reboot your phone, and see what happens few days after.
For me, one week after they sent me back the phone, the same issue was happening again, until the 3rd time. At that time, intervention reports shows they changed battery and antenna, with some other stuff. Until now, i don't have any issue again..
I wih you good luck.
cmartinez.
