[Q] evo won't power on

my brother's evo was working fine early in the morning a couple of days ago and he came back a few hours later and it was completely dead. refuses to take a charge and I've tried troubleshooting it all the way down. I'm at a total loss. I've tried leaving the battery out for 30 minutes and still no dice. I've managed to get it to flash the white evo 4g screen for a second a couple of times. any ideas on next steps?

Leave it on the charger for a few hours, see if that works. If not, the battery got too discharged to receive a charge, in which you just take it to your sprint store and they'll jump the battery.

Ugh. The repair stores are almost an hour away. Thanks for the advice anyway. Does this happen a lot on the evo?

My evo is having the exact same issue! last night it was on my dresser, then I guess the battery died, it went off. when I put it on the charger I get no lights or anything on the phone. I tried to turn it on while on the charger no luck, a few times it flashed the white screen for about 5 secs then cut off. the charger is fine because it charged my wifes evo shift. I left the battery out all night last night and tried to put it in and charge this morning nothing! I am going to try and get another battery from sprint a little later today and I hope that is the only issue, because this thing died out of nowhere!

As previously stated, take battery to Sprint store and have them reinitialize/jump it so it will again take a charge.

Hope your right, on my way out the door now.

Results - Ok good and bad news
Ok so after dropping it off for 2 hours, I go back and my phone is on charged at about 70%. the guy says they did not find anything wrong, they plugged it in and it charged. They also said the battery did not pass some test so they reccommended me get a new battery.
BUT he said they could not check it further because it was rooted. The one thing I was worried about was them finding out it was rooted, but I could not get any power to it, to unroot it. I just hope if something goes wrong and I put the stock ROM back on, they accept it (I hope it does not have to happen)
So I did not have to pay anything, got the phone working again, but they told me they could not find anything wrong, which makes me nervous because it will probably happen again. I know it did not just start working once they plugged it up, because I tried many different ways to charge it, and got nothing. I'm thinking someone jumped the battery like you said, but did not say anything, because I know it was not working for me, I have it charging now on my CPU, which it was not doing before I took it in. but it works so Im cool with that. Just home that root thing does not stay on my file.

That's funny . . . I would not have let them have the phone if I took it in . . next time, go to different store and just hand them the battery . . . as for them knowing about it being rooted, deny, deny, deny . . . hopefully, the battery is ok now . . .

Took it to a sprint store finally and my battery had randomly died. They ordered a replacement that should be in today so I'll let everyone know if that fixes it

Are batteries covered under the warranty that Sprint offers or even under the manufacturer's warranty? It hasn't been a year yet...

My battery started charging again!! I put it in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes, stuck it back on the phone, then it started charging again. After it's fully charged, I'm gonna do a nandroid backup just in case.

They said my battery's casing was distended somehow so they'd get me a replacement. Don't know who's covering it but I'm happy

[Q] Phone dies after ten minute phone call fresh off charger

I am trying to help my uncle who has been having trouble with his T989D phones. He has tried two and is getting frustrated because the phone can die right to shutting itself off very fast. He has said right from taking it off the charger it can be dead in a 10 minute phone call.
This has been the same on two different stock unrooted Telus phones. What could cause this.
The only thing I notice from telephone support is that the phone never goes to sleep. But I am not in a position to be in person and have to talk someone who is so not that computer literate to checking stuff.
I have a better battery stats file but other then never sleeping it isn't from a time when it died in ten minutes.

It's not even possible to die in 10 minutes when fully charged. Bad battery, probably

That is what I have been told though, I just wish I could actually get face time with the phone for a extended time to figure it out but can't.
Bad battery was my first idea before but when it kept happening with the replacement, it has to be something else.
Also apparently the phone stays at 100% for the most part until it dies.

When he gets replacements, is he getting everything? New battery, new charger, and new phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Yes, but he uses multiple chargers depending on being home or in his truck. The other chargers have been used before on a I9100 with no problems.

These phones seem to be picky with chargers, sometimes. I only use stock that came with it.
Take the phone back again or get a whole different one

This! When you get a replacement phone (in the mail at least) you just get the phone, and have to swap your battery into it (back when I had my Dash replaced I even had to swap the battery cover!) If he is still using the battery from the original phone then that would be the best place to start.

Sprint Nexus stuck in reboot cycle

So I forgot to plug my phone to the charger last night so I woke up to a dead phone. Plugged it in let it charge a lil bit, turned it on the and now the phone boots and reboots in and endless cycle. It seems from watching it, that it reboots right about the time the 3g radios would kick in but that's just a guess. I've battery pulled a bunch of times already and I'm not sure what else to try, but any ideas? Phone is stock btw.

In case anyone experiences this:
Well took it into Sprint last night and the tech couldn't do anything so he wiped the phone back to stock.
Upon rebooting the phone froze. He went to try it again and the phone wouldn't respond. Went and got a new battery again nothing. My phone was a brick. He went and told his boss and I got a brand new phone, glad it was within the 14 day window.
Kind of a pain and I certainly hope it was just a fluke.
The good news is my phone had already gotten 3 slight screen surface scratches which I have no idea as to how cause I'm very careful with my phone. So this time around I put a screen protector on this thing. Guess the Gorilla Glass on my old Epic was no joke as I had that for almost 2 years with no signs of wear and tear.

The error icon indicates that the USB port is probably okay since it is registering that it's plugged in.
The battery could be defective. Take it out and look at it closely. Does it show any signs of bulding at all?
If so then get a new battery. If not then I'd say take your new phone back to the store and get a new one. It's a brand new phone. Don't try to fix it. Get a replacement.

I'm going to check with my friends battery if it works I will get a new battery if not I will take it back to tmo since it's brand new only has 3 weeks

My cord that came with the s4 crapped on me, maybe it's just the cord.

Is it heating up when you plug it in. My fiance had a problem with hers not charging but we noticed it was heating up on the right side above the battery. I took it apart and when I plugged it in there was a short in the ribbon cable with a consent spark. It was unrooted and taken back that day.

I saw on drippler that an s4 caught on fire. Our that there was battery issues with a bunch of devices. Id sure hate to have my S4 spontaneously combust during a phone call. Ha

Note 7 battery issues already...

So I go to bed with my phone at about 90% and I wake up to it being at 0%. It shouldn't be like lower than about 85% I'd say. Well I look at the graph of the battery discharge and it is not good. Plummets for no reason then vise versa when I went to charge it it charged really quickly and went to 100% in about 25 or less minutes. Also I haven't received the recall yet so at worst I just go get a new one for free eventually. I am a new user so I can't post links to photos of the graphs. Any ideas on what just happened here?

Turn that sh*t off and throw as far as you can. Lol seriously though return it anyway you can while you wait for the new ones or don't, idk if plan to stick with the note 7 after the return.

Well, under normal conditions I'd chalk this up to an initial battery calibration issue that will work itself out, but considering the recall, I think I'd take this as an early sign of trouble and return the phone immediately.

[UPDATE]
So I plugged it in outside while I was barbecuing and it went to 100% and said it wasn't full. I let it sit there for 2 hours and the green light finally came on. So I suppose it was a calibration issue but I am still returning/replacing it. Samsung really F***ed this one up.

Considering the recall, I recommend you backup whatever's in there, do a factory reset and wait for the recall. Don't take the risk.

Thats odd mine stays at 100 by the time i wake up.mine doesnt drain whatsoever maybe a app you installed. Or if its connected to wifi all night

Sound more like rogue app to me draining battery.
Or maybe just a cry for attention!!
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers mobile app

Sounds to me like u left porn hub on autoplay while u fell asleep and thats why it drained all the way, only thing that keeps a phone awake is a video your lucky u didnt catch screen burn in... 0% to 100% in 25 mins looks to me they probably included Qualcomm 4.0 charge prototype, you'd be sick to return it..u my friend have the golden ticket, but then again i would return it, Qualcomm 4.0 charge isnt out for a reason its still testing and it wouldnt be right for u to have it and the rest to get screwed

Thanks for the feed back. I have discharged it and charged it fully twice and it was just a battery calibration issue. Though once I can I am swapping it out with a new one for free.
