Edit solved - apparently USB brick causes charging issues??
Fixed running USB brick fix
My phone will charge when switched off. If I switch it on ... Still charges...
But if I disconnect - then reconnect charger... It wont charge.. I then have to switch off. I tried a spare battery too.
On battery status it always says charging (on USB) ... Can someone tell me if it states (on mains) when plugged into to mains usually? I can't remember ...
Hardware fault then.... ?
tried differen't ROM/ Kernel? or use RUU to restore to factory settings and see if problem persists.. if yes then you already saved yourself the time of doing so to send it to HTC
Its also using more battery ... Not changed kernel or rom but since this is a new randomly occurring problem I still doubt its software...
Never seen or read about this issue... Maybe a new phone is calling me

probably not software related.. but you never know.. could always be worth a try if you have the time.
I'll try changing rom later... Might just get a sensation instead lol
I have damaged battery cells Im losing power fast... So not sure how or when I got a USB brick but it started the same time as serious power drain! And I did nothing different ... Hmm

Hi, my Desire HD just automaticly turn on speaker everytime i call someone or recieved a all.
I did some searching and people say turn it off may help. I tried to turn it off (no fast boot) remove the battery, and it still turn on auto speaker
I also realized that sometimes when i turn it on, carpanel automaticly launch. So this might be some problem with carpanel. I turned off the auto option in "dock" section of the setting. Still doesnt change anything
I think the proximity sensor have problems. So i tried some test with it. It's still fine
Can someone help me with this? i even tried hard reseting my phone, it doesnt help
What rom are you using? I had the same problem once, reflashing fixed it.

I'm using stock ROM , when turn on it says the branding is SFR something. I havent rooted my phone or install any other ROM ever
Well then you could try recalibrating the g-sensor from settings -> display.

You may have flip for speaker switched on. Go to Settings>Sound and then under Incoming Calls uncheck the option for Flip for Speaker.

That was what I was aiming for. The g-sensor thinks the phone is upside down when in fact it isn't, recalibrating should fix this.

Hi all. thanks you so much for the support.
I've tried all the above, like turn off carmode, turn off flip for speaker...etc. take out the battery, sim card, sd card. It's still the same. After some digging, i found a topic about this on the DHD forum. They said it was an USB problem. i tried to plug it in to the USB and wiggle it a little bit and carmode/speaker auto turn on and off time to time. I was about to give up and when i'm on my way to return it. It suddenly come back to normal, no problem, tested with the USB cord. This is so weird !!!!! but i'm glad that it's gone away

My other half had exactly the same thing on her Desire, turns out it was dirt/ fluff in the USB socket!
I have the same problem with my DHD, since I don't have the warranty for my set, is there a way around it. Like some sort of app which turns the speakers off when u make or recieve the call. That can make my life easier.
This problem started with my phone too..I tried all above such as changing rom,usb trick,sim+battery+sd remove,calibrating g-sensor ...Only thing i did not try is changing radio..If it wouldnt help me ,i dont know what to do since i dont have a warranty too..Its really annoying..
DHD speaker selfactivating
Those problems /carmode and speaker selfactivating/ started shortly after OTA 2.3 update.I honestly don't remember how I've managed the carmode issue,but initially I was able to solve the speaker selfactivating by pulling out the headphones' plug during a phone call.That did it for a once or twice,as the result lasted for a day or two.After reading the tricks suggested above I tried them with no success until pulling out the phone end of the usb during a phone call while connected to the pc in debug mode.So far I've made a few calls and it looks OK.
I don't want to scary you, but when I had the same problem I found only one solution which works- restore to factory settings... Its a pity...
Hi ,
I have the same problem on my Desire Z. I have had the phone for more then 6 months.
I was running stock: - no problem !
I was running Virtuous Sense 1.0.1 for about 3 months: - no problem !
Yesterday I got this: it auto turns on the loud speaker when I answer or dial.
Flip for speaker is turned off, G-Sensor is calibrated !
I have updated to Virtuous Sense 1.0.2 : same problem !
I have wiped off everything and flashed Virtuous Unity 1.24.0 : TWICE !
Same problem
Sorry for posting under DHD, I did not want to open a new topic on DZ forum , but I will if I must, this is driving me crazy !
I have solved this after wiping all data and flashing the rom again (3rd try !
I told it, there is only one solution- restoring factory settings...
same problem without OTA
Got the same problem since 2 weeks without having done any changes at all to my DHD (still on 1.72.405.3)
+ Car panel starts randomly when connected to USB for charging
+ Phone speaker always on regardless what I tried before
So, I really do not think this is a rom related issue but more a "aging" problem like the GPS connectivity.
Anybody any idea, why the USB plug should be respobsible for this strange behaviour?
I'm not sure this is a USB related issue. It may be the audio jack. My problems started after unplugging the headphones while listening music, to answer the phone.
same problem here ...
My phone also started having the same problem since today morning!
EDIT: So I tried to remove battery, then cleaned the micro-usb port and the headphone port and the issue seems to have disappeared atleast for now. Don't want to do a factory reset as have too much data and apps on phone.
EDIT 2: So as it turns out it was Go SMS Pro problem that was causing the issue since its update 2 days back. The developer has released a new version in Market now claiming to solve the issue.
Anyways whatever issue it is hope it does not return.
so i guess ive been getting what you would call SOD's, only normally the only way to boot your phone is by pulling the battery ,well i can just hold the power button for an extended amount of time and it will reboot for a couple minutes and then shut down again ,after its through that cycle i can boot it normally with the power button, it happens when i plug the phone up and let it charge to 100% and if the phone isnt taken off the charge then it shuts down like this, its happened once on a call too and i wanna say the wi-fi was enabled every time ...i dont remember im running a test with the wi-fi off right now ,any how i would assume this would be hardware related since ive flashed every rom and it happens on all of them ....any thoughts? im planning on returning the device for another one ,just hesitant because i got one without any of the screen issues that some people are getting

It may be hardware related but it could also be an app that you are installing on each rom. Try a new rom and don't install anything for a few hours and see if it still happens.

SOD? whats that?
sleep of death
i think its related to the wi-fi being on while charging , just fully charged it and left the phone on the cord for an hour after charging and it never went off. ran it down to 90% and turned wi-fi back on and hooked it up to see if it does it again
that has happened to me with other phones, like Nexus S, I9000, Moto XT720
so it's definitely not hardware related AFAIK
the way i narrowed it down to has always been a ROM problem
after I flash clean up, or load a more stable ROM the Sleep Of Death goes away.
i had a lot of that with the recent "stable" CM 7.1 for Nexus S
flashed to a newer nightly unstable and it fixed the "stable" problem LOL
well i just got my new phone in yesterday and so far no random reboots or SOD's ,phone seems a little faster than my previous got 3700 quads stock unrooted and over 15megs download and almost 3 upload , i think i got a better device this time and im pretty sure it was a new one and not refurbished, im gonna run it stock for a couple days just to see if any problems re-occur, i was having them on my first phone before i rooted ,thats why i decided to root and install custom roms
When charging, my phone works fine, but when I unplug it, it crashes within a few seconds. If I turn it on without pluging it in first, it boots, and a few seconds after fully booting, it shuts off.
Phone is rooted and I'm using the IceColdSandwich ROM, always on the newest test build.
Help me please, this is really annoying

I have a similar problem - but its imho ROM independent. I left my phone in direct sun for about 30 minutes and the phone was afterwards wery hot and it crashed...
No I can run the phone only, when the charger is plugged in. Without charger attached the phone shut down in 5 - 20 seconds. I think, the extreme temperature demaged the battery. Unfortunetaly Im in Mexico right now and Im unable to buy another battery, to verify my hypothesis.
Its very likely battery related, bacause after every higher energy drain - flash light or similar it crashes even on charger...
Any ideas - suggestions or similar problem? Thx.
check for battery pins bent if they are ok try changing the rom like cyanogen as they are very stable if issue still there replace ur battery with a new one.
had the same...
i had the same problem and when I tried Ascension ICS, never had crashing issue since lastweek....but....it is starting to act weird this morning...not good

Check the health of your battery. There are battery monitoring apps on the market that can do this.
Do you charge using a wall charger or USB port on your PC? The phone cannot run by itself using wall power or USB power and needs the battery to function.
I have a feeling it's the ROM. Can you try a ROM based off an official RUU? Or maybe revert to a stock ROM? Or you could full-wipe your phone and reflash Ice Cold Sandwich.
Hi guys, thx for replies.
In my case its 99% not ROM related - yesterday I tried around 5 custom ROMs (gingerbread and ICS), flashed another recomended radio and RIL and finaly reverted to stock... still the same problem - reboot after several seconds or minutes...
Unfortunetaly Im unable to replace the battery, to see if its battery-related or not.
Regard Pylorus
Problem Solved
After returning back home, I replaced the battery with a new one and the phone works flawlessly again... so voila, problem solved

Have you tried flashing a different kernel( if its custom of course), or perhaps reflashing the rom entirely? if neither of those work and a different cable\charger doesn't work, it could be the battery. How old is the battery?
Most of the times you can fix these type of errors just shutting down your phone, unplugging the battery and let it down for a while (one minute or more is enough). If not, just try what @matinm90 said before me. I don't think format a new ROM is the simplest way to solve the problem tough.
Let us know if you solve the problem!!

yeah technically flashing a new rom or the same one but fresh may not help, but hopefully it would narrow things down lol
Thanks for your help guys I tried a different kernel(franko), a different rom(miui) in which the battery indicator says its charging but battery is still discharging!! I don't think its a battery problem since it charges to a 100% using my friends nexus.

And if you try to go back to stock via fastboot? If that doesnt help I think your USB port is broken..

Hi,
I'm wondering if there's anyone else who is facing this problem or I'm just unlucky.
On last Sunday, when I was listening to YouTube Music at a low battery (around 15%), after a while the phone shut itself off. I guess it was just the phone ran out of battery so I tried to charge it. But the moment I plugged in the charger, the hidden emergency flash light in the front turned on (the one on top right). When the phone successfully booted up, an application called CQATest appeared with a notification. The phone won't charge and take SIM card anymore since then.
I've done some research and tried many methods to fix it, including reboot in the recovery, factory reset, using adb to change boot mode, reflash the rom, disabling the CQATest app. None of them could solve my problem. Disabling the CQATest app does let me to have signal again, but I still cannot get the phone charge. It shows Turbo Power connected, but not charging.
Is there anybody facing the same issue, or even better, have a solution?
Thank you.
Update: I found a solution for this. I put my phone to fastboot mode and charge it from there, overnight. Next morning, it's working normal again.
You can always try a custom ROM. And make sure to format every partition in TWRP before - format, not just wipe.
If that works you can try other stuff. If not you have a hardware issue is guess and only a phone repair could fix that.
PS: try a different charger. If it's only not charging it might be an issue there. And have you tried to charge it while the device is shut down?

Thank you for your reply. Yes I did try another charger. However I'm using a Qualcomm qualified charger so I don't think that's an issue. I brought it to UbreakIfix and they told me it's a motherboard problem so the only way to fix it is to change the motherboard. It'll cost a phone to do that. I'm just wandering if there's any body else who is having the same issue. Because my problem appeared out of no where.
That's normal. Hardware problems often appear out of nowhere all the sudden. And it's always hard the really on them down to a source.
And yes, repairs for not typical phones are always expensive. On my first Z Play the screen cracked. Seeing the price of a repair and realising I could get an unused Z2 Play for the same money you can guess what I did. Can't say I regret it too much.
