hello! yesterday i went to the beach. i know it was really hot [but not above 60 C] but i kept my phone in the bag and shut down because it didn't have any energy left.when i got home something appeared on the screen and it said something like this: reboot, shut down and something else i can't remember. i think i pressed reboot first time and then shut down. i tried to turn it on but it didn't work. when i recharged it the phone turned on. i wrote some msgs, i talked on the phone, it was alright. this morning i took the phone with me in my bed, at around 9 o'clock and it didn't have anything. i slept till 10 o'clock when i woke up the phone was again turned off.after many tries, it turned on but the touch screen wouldn't work and the battery couldn't charge. now its turned off and i don't know what else tot do. is it the battery? do i have to buy a new one?
sorry for any language mistakes but my native language its another.
thank you so much for any upcoming answers.
There is orange led when the phone is charging ?
When its charging, yes. So.. sometimes. I tried a factory reset just now:it turned on but then.. nothing. Its turned off again. Do I have to make a soft reset? I don t have warranty.
Take out the battery and leave it to cool for a couple of hours. Then charge it (while powered off), leave it again to cool and then use it

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.

Thanks.....
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 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.
Okay, so before i went to bed about 8 hours ago, i was playing with Unified Remote and web browsing. I fell asleep and forgot to plug in the charger, but my phone was safely tucked under my pillow. This morning i awoke to check the time, and my phone just wouldn't wake up. Then i noticed it wasn't even on?
So i did the key combo, and nothing happened as i frantically reached for a charger. Just to find the charger did nothing either, along with 5 other's.
Is there anyway to jump start the phone? Or any cause to this? Phone's just don't spontaneously stop working.
Thankyou for any replies or ideas.
Leave it connected to the charger till the red light turns on.
I've had this happen to me twice. Thought id bricked it somehow. Just leave it plugged in as mentioned above. The light should initially flash for a while and eventually stay on solid (red light obviously). I got mine going by holding power and vol down like you would to enter hboot and plugging/unpluging a few times. don't let it drain in future!

Thanks guys, it worked! But i have no idea how it drained? Any idea how this happened?
Hello, I was using my phone yesterday while charging, the battery was ~45% and it was working fine at all, then it suddenly turned off and isn't turning on again, only blinking the red led if the power on button is pressed while charging in the wall charger and glowing the red led without blinking if connected to a computer. If the button is not pressed, the phone just stays off. I don't know what to do, in other situations the phone's battery gone to 0% and blinked the red light without the button pressed and came back after some minutes charging, but this time I tried to charge it some times and nothing happened. Somebody knows what to do?
Thanks
Hello there! I had the same issue, I was playing a game and my phone had like 7%, suddenly it turned off.. And wouldn't turn on, and showed the red led.
What I did is to let it charge for 30 minutes or more, maybe 1 hour. And then it'll turn on, if not. Maybe you'll have to remove the battery and reinsert it back in. But for now just let it charge for a long time. It should turn on.

Yeah, it happened before with me, but it didn't came back this time. Took it to LG, they said it was a hardware problem and that it would took ~4 days to give me an answer, thanks for the help anyway.

+1 to this suggestion. I went through that before, and it definitely helps in many cases. But it sounds like the phone is in for repair with LG now, so it's a moot point...
I got my watch today and went to charge it for the first time and it'll get to 10% and then it starts to discharge pretty rapidly. Anyone else have this issue or will it correct itself over night or something?
Another thing I've noticed is the moto360 gets a little hot when it starts discharging, maybe that's why?

Charge up first and THEN update to new OTA. Then your battery will improve a little each day.

I've already done the OTA. It started the download as soon as I turned it on basically.

What's your build number right now?
The latest should be 4.4W.1.
What you can try is to reset the watch, maybe that helps. That shouldn't cause that much damage as you probably don't have any data on the watch itself anyway.
Hard to reset it when you can't get it to turn on. It doesn't even show the charge indicator now. Just the backlight turning off and going dim
That doesn't sound right at all. Try a different charge cord with your dock. Mine started the update download as soon as it linked to my phone, after that it HAD to be charged to at least 80% before starting the actual update. After that it will charge from 10% to 60% in about 25mins or less.

It's been sitting on the charger now for ~4-5 hours since I started this thread. I took it off about 5mins ago to test it, it powers on and nothing. It acts like it wants to come on, but nothing happens. Just the backlight, then it dims and soon goes off. The charging white light has been lit while it was on the charger the whole time. And it won't even display the blue circle with the time while on the charger.
When I took it out of the box earlier this afternoon it came on, paired it and started downloading the update then shut off saying to charge it. I placed it on the charger and the blue circle ring appeared. It hit 10% and started draining 2% a second and shut off. It hasn't shown the charging screen again after that. Just lights up the black screen and goes off, that's it.
So one thing I noticed, I power the watch completely off. No backlight on at all and place it on the charger. After a few seconds it turns on, black screen just backlight turns on, and vibrates really quick. Then after a couple seconds it vibrates again, but longer than it does when just powering the unit on and then the screen dims.
