Evo won't turn on|Rooted|No LED indicator.

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.

HTC One X fine last night - dead this morning

Morning all,
I run:
rooted HTC One X running Renovate ROM
this phone is one of the faulty batch with the dodgey wifi issue
I have repaired the wifi issue
the phone has been working fine for the last 3 weeks
I plugged the phone in to charge last night
this morning it is totally dead, there is no charging light when plugged in,
I did notice that the phone was running very hot last night
phone is on T-Mobile UK
any ideas?
suspect the phone overheated and it cooked the battery

Sorry to hear that, I don't think it's a good idea to charge it through out the night. Can you still feel the heat of the mobile?

It has happended to me !!!!

No need to worry, it has happened to me a few times. remove it from the usb, make sure you plug it back into the wall charger and hold the power button looking at the LED on the top, it should go red. if not just press it and wait a few times. I know it sounds crazy but it has worked ever time. once the LED comes on, just leave it to charge.
My fix was to update my clockwork to 5.8.4.0 that fixed the USB isues

Thanks everyone - I rooted last week so I'm already running clockwork 5.8.4.0
I plugged it in the OEM charger and into a known good socket (house is 150 years old and some of the wiring ....well...)
anyroad, I left the phone for an hour and when I returned the amber charging light was on and it was showing 63% battery.
I think I might have the problem diagnosed. I keep the phone in a 3rd party leather wallet which also has space for cards and money. I usually charge the phone in this with no problem however I suspect that the jacket caused heating issues - the phone was running Audible for Android last night, and the combination of all caused the overheating.
In future I will remove the phone from the jacket before charging overnight
phew!
and thanks to all for your assistance!!:good:

Is this opinion or based on fact?
Every phone I've had (Android, WM, Symbian) has been charged in a dock overnight and I've never had battery issues...

Can I ask why? Always charged every mobile I've had overnight whilst turned off ready for next day, is this something related only to the HOX you know of please?

This is nonsense, it does no harm to keep it plugged indefinitely.

Same thing happened to me. Plug it to your computer with the USB cable (not to the AC charger) and let it be for 15 minutes. At one point, it will start charging. Then leave it for another 30 minutes before switching it on.
What happens is that it goes crazy and instead of charging starts to discharge, and when it discharges completely it will not even boot into the charging mode or respond to power button.

Don't comment, if you don't know it completely. Just take time to read this article and decide. I won't get anything if I say something like this.

This is called FUD.
1) Modern Li-Po batteries don't mind being charged to full (damage occurs above 4.23V)
2) they don't mind temperature (to some extent of course)
3) they don't need to be discharged (yes, it can mess calibration, but it also wears them out)
4) all batteries in consumer electronics are protected, so even if the charger/phone does something stupid, they should not be harmed
5) battery explosions and fires are caused by mechanical damage or a short, charging circuit malfunctions are very uncommon
6) when you leave it plugged in, it will not harm the battery, though it depends on device what happens - the device can run from the charger and let the battery be, or it can run from the battery and start charging again at ~95% (this is what lenovo laptops do), or it can keep running from and charging the battery (this is what a HOX will do IMO). Everything but the first case wears the battery out, but it's so minor that you won't notice it at all.
This article was written for sake of having an article, it's full of misleading and incorrect information. I don't need to be a battery expert to notice that.
In short - your phone knows what to do.

Guys whatever you say but i had Samsung galaxy s before and its battery died because i used to keep downloading on atorrent all night keeping it plugged. Though battery was cheap just 10$ so no problem but htc has non removable battery plus it would be costlier i guess 30-40$ so i would recommend not to keep it plugged for too long

And the other Samsung galaxy s you had, which you treated identically, apart from the downloading and charging all night didn't suffer battery degradation, right?

I've ALWAYS charged all my phones that I've had overnight with no issues whatsoever

I got an old motorola V3i that i have had for over 5 years, & i have always charged it over night from almost flat to 100% & it still lasts as long as it did 10 days a time.
I will take personal experience anytime.

FIXED [Q] Gnex Charging issue

Hey all im having a charging issue with my gnex, It will fully charge, however the issue is when I unplug the phone it says that its still charging then it will say its discharging(like normal) however a few seconds later it does the same thing and keeps doing this until the battery hits about 85% then it will act normally. What bothers me the most is the screen will come on and stay on and im worried of LCD burns. I have odined to stock tried multiple different ROMs and Kernels and to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance

Have you cleared the battery stats? Also try the EZ battery calibration app from play store that helped me tremdously good luck

Charging issue
I was having the issue with my Gnex. when i plugged it to the charger it would charger but when i unplugged it it will say that its charging. just like yours mine would fix itself. at first i though it was s/w so i factory reset and even flashed another rom or same rom. i did notice something this only happened when i plugged it to a certain charger which was a Samsung charger but not the original. i stop using that cable and never had the issue again

I can adore you that neither one helped you. You just so happened to fix the problem independently at about the same time. In a nutshell, you're equating correlation with causation.
Batterystats.bin has absolutely nothing to do with battery charge. The only info contained in that file is a list of apps that have operated on battery since the last full charge- nothing more. The file is automatically cleared each time you unplug the phone after a full charge. The wives' tale of that affecting battery charge or the reported charge level was officially debunked by a member of. Google's Android team early this year.
It is for this same reason that apps that claim to calibrate your battery are 100% snake oil.

It would seem that your USB port may be shorted or, less likely, you have a defective battery.

Had this same issue, had to get a replacement on my insurance =[

Clearing Batterystats.bin is a busted myth.

Ok so i fixed it (and it was rather simple too)
i plugged the phone into the wall and popped out the battery and left it plugged it for a min or two. then i unplugged it put the battery back in and let it show the charging then popped out the battery again then the usb. Put the battery back in and powered on and its working normally now.

[Q] Dead Nexus 7 2013 flo

Hello, one and all. Well, my Nexus 7 seems to have completely quit on me.
I had it unlocked and rooted with multirom, though the problem doesn't lie there. My nexus has been giving me issues with chargers for about a month, either not charging or charging as slowly as if it were USB charging. Eventually, it died and would not charge.
After a week of holding the power button to see the dead battery icon, and still attempting to charge it, the LED flashed white five times. This went on for about two days, I still tried to charge it then.
Now I don't get any response. No depleted battery icon. No LED. no nothing. I really need some help in trying to revive my Nexus. It was given to me as a gift from a woman who I loved as a mother.
Could anyone possibly know what the problem might be, or whether it is possibly to return it under warranty to Best Buy or Asus and get a replacement?

Anyone...

Damn, looks like I'm stuck
Well, I don't own a laptop, unfortunately.
I'd been looking for any repair services, because the issue appears to be with the charging port. Unfortunately, I can't find any in the area.
As of now, I've resorted to just plugging my HTC charger into my Nexus 7, and leaving it here for a while. So far, it's been about 3 hours. Hopefully, it'll at least get a bit of juice. I'm still looking for solutions, any and all are appreciated.

If the led flashes 5 times, it means the battery is dry. If it still doesn't charge when plugged in, I would say the battery has gone bad. There are quite a few who reported that the usb port itself could also easily go bad. Your best bet at this point is to try charging it wirelessly. If still no go, then it's more likely the battery. If it does, then the other possibility.

New Moto 360 Only Charges When Powered Off

Weird defect. Anyone else have this problem?
Edit: as of now it won't charge at all
Edit 2: After a lot of fiddling around, it decided to charge. Working great except for a single dead pixel Got to exchange it on the 9th or whenever they get their shipment in.

Mine charges while powered on.

Mine charges while on and off. What I did notice, is when I was initially setting it up it went up to 32% and while on charger it started loosing charge. I have no idea why this happened but assumed a service was running in the background. Ever since the initial setup, on or not the watch gains charge. Seemed to take about 2 hrs from near empty to full while the display was on showing time.

As of now it wont charge at all. This is driving me insane. I got it to 9% somehow but I have no idea, and Best Buy won't have any to replace it with.

Do you have the cable that came with it plugged into the cradle? I started using my cell cable into the cradle and my battery percentage was going down instead of up.

My local Best Buy said of the two they had today the first sold wouldn't charge. I saw another post on reddit claiming theirs wouldn't turn on, could also be related to a charging issue.

This is a ****ing pathetic launch. There is literally no stock anywhere and of the few that are sold a handful have defects. This is simply disgraceful.

Here's what happend with mine.
First time I powered it on it said to download the wear app..so I did that. Then, it proceeded to connect and pair with my phone. It started to download something, (wear update?) and at about the half way point it said charge your device, shutting down. So it shut down. I put it in the cradle and it initially had 23% charge. 5 minutes later it had 18%. Not knowing what was going on, I turned it back on and was met by a spinner that said just a minute... for about 15 minutes. So I turned it back off.
After another reboot I went into the menu and selected reset device. After this it began to charge.. all the way to 100%. I turned it back on and it re-downloaded what it had to and applied the update successfully after about 3 or 4 restarts and 10 minutes. Now all seems well.
Edit.. By well I mean working. It's been merely 3 hours and with almost no use I'm down 40%. FML

yeah, i think people in their rush to use it haven't charged them fully. i plan to charge mine fully before using it.

This was definitely my issue. The problem is the vagueness of the instructions. It basically says turn it on, download the app.. Show off (until it dies).

I had the same problem with it saying charge your battery. I put it on the charger and left. Came back, it installed an update, rebooted a couple times and then was good. I've been playing with it heavy for a few hours and it's at 69%.

So, I got mine to charge and everything. So far I LOVE IT. I made a post on working apps that I've tested over in the Themes and Apps subforum. Basically, I put it on the Qi Charger I have for my Nexus 5 DIRECTLY in the center and it ended up charging then stopping again. Then, this time, I put it on the charger provided, and it worked to 100%... Very strange but I plan on exchanging it anyway as there is a single dead pixel I can see.

Same issue... Got the watch. Turned it on in the car and it started the update without promoting me to do it and now it is in the same dead cycle I've seen others post about. it will sit on the charger for hours and only be a few percent and when u power it on it tries to update and goes from 10% to 0 in less than a min or two. I just did another reset and put it on the cradle. The only feedback I have that something is happening is the watch is pretty hot. My gear live and Galaxy Gear 1 had an icon that showed charging status when the phone was off. Also they charged quickly, we're always cold and had great battery life. I can't imagine Moto not testing these devices long enough to figure that it should not try to apply an update until the battery was at a certain level or plugged in. I wish when these reviewers do features on the engineers of these devices, like have been recently done instead of ass kissing these guys would at least do some calls g out on their process. It'll like when Apple came out with the IPhone 4 and showed all these unbelievable signal testing facilities and they couldn't figure out when you held the phone normally on your left hand that the signal would drop to zero. It literally took me 2 minutes to figure out that one...

I highly advise you sink a hour charge into the watch first at least. most of these new batteries are like a lithium ion / lipo hybrid. they have a low voltage cutoff so the battery cells don't get damaged and go kaboom. Noone knows how long these sat or what charge was in them, how cold and so on during shipping. I would say people are running them low enough moto is triggering low volt cutoff.the update may have even changed the voltage values they accept as tolerable. and when you power it up this tricks it into a fail mode. ost smart chargers see the low volt and refuse the to charge for risk of a damaged cell. this sounds a lot like moto 360's issues.

When mine hit 80% on the charge, the update downloaded, watch rebooted, and the charge message started appearing.
