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.
I am running Codename 1.0.2 and the other night my Verizon GNex shutdown on its own, with plenty of battery remaining. I tried to turn it on the normway way, but nothing happened. I then plugged it in to the charger just in case it had gone dead (though this was unlikely, because it had close to 60% battery within an hour before I noticed that it had shut down). This did not allow it to turn on, so I pulled the battery numerous times, still nothing. I tried to boot into recovery/bootloader and still the phone wouldn't respond. Finally after continuing to pull the battery and plug/unplug it into the charger, the phone finally responded and it is back up and running. At the time it shut down, I was not flashing ROMs or anything, it was just sitting on my desk just minding its' own business. Any thoughts on why this might have happened, or is there anyone with a similar experience? As of now (over 24 hours later) it has not had the issue again. Thanks!
Posting for a friend who has a D.
Today suddenly the battery went dead and the phone turned off.
It was completely unresponsive even with a charger plugged in. We took battery out and left charger in, the light was flashing so we plugged battery back in but the light stoped flashing.
Thinking it was a dead battery we left it 'charging' and after about an hour the light came back on and the battery seemed to be charging.
Ten minutes later the phone turned on automatically and seemed to be OK.
Battey stats showed a massive massive dive making us believe it was the battery.
Now, it seems, the power button is fooked. Its completely unresponsive in the OS and recovery to both long and short presses.
I take it this means its a hardware issue with the power button?
I'm also wondering if these two things are related or its coincidental that they happened at the same time?
Cheers.

Today during sleeping, similar thing happened to my desire. When I woke up, the light was flashing and battery was dead, even though my phone was on charger the whole night... weird...
Hey all, been running Cyanmobile 5.5 for a month or so now on my Evo and it's been working pretty well. However, last night it was kind of acting up then restarted itself and said "Cyanmobile X is upgrading." This has happened before, which is kind of weird to me as I didn't think I was running X, but it always boots up after a while, so I went to bed and let it go. When I woke up, however, the phone wouldn't wake up. I'm pretty sure the battery was around 80% so I seriously doubt it would have discharged that much overnight, and plugging it into a cable does nothing... I've tried pulling the battery as well as holding the power button. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks!
Update: After leaving the phone plugged in for about half an hour, I pulled the battery again and it seems to be booting... so I guess this time the battery was dead. I'm still confused why this happens at all though, as it'll randomly restart once every other day or so when I'm at nearly full battery and I'm not even running cyanmobile X.
Last week I updated my rooted Galaxy S 10.5'' LTE to 5.0.2 successfully. Then I went root again. Suddenly the screen got unresponsive but after a restart it was ok.
Then I left the tablet idle for a day or two. When I tried to turn it on, it wouldn't start. I plugged it in but no battery signal showed, however it got hot at the back. I tried several key combos, but there's no sign of life there, except from the warmness at the back.
Is there any change to make it work again?
Thanks in advance.
If holding POWER + VOL DOWN doesn't work then just leave it alone until the battery fully discharges. Usually takes a day if fully charged.
Then plug your charger in and wait for the green charging symbol. Give it a few percent and it should boot.
