Charging Loop?!?! Need Help

Hello! I wasn't able to find anything on this so I'm wondering if my phone is defective...
My phone is stuck in a loop...
1.I plug the phone in it will charge for 5 minutes then try to start up
2.The charging will stop during the boot up (on it own)
3.I imagine there's not enough battery power so the phone will shut off
And this will go on in a continuous loop. Also I can't stop it from booting up so that makes it worse...
I just bought the phone and let the battery drain down the for the first time and it started looping this way. Very odd. I have 2 other HTCs (8925 and 8525) and never had this problem...
So I'm wondering is it
1. The Software (config)
2. The Battery
3. The phone
I've searched the internet and it seems like I'm the only one having this problem...
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hmmmmmm sounds like a bad phone, I'd return it to your carrier if possible

i had a simular situation w/ my mda...i was on vacation, and when the battery drained, it wouldnt take a charge...the problem was that i was using my girlfriends motorola charger which wasnt strong enough charge a completly drained mda battery...
just ensure you are using the charger that came w/ the phone, as many figure (as did i) that one mini-usb charger is as good as another...
hope that helps...

Having the same issue, my Pro2 charges for couple of minutes than reboots and also the battery won't take a full charge so can Hard Reset .
Anyone else resolved this issue

Try booting your phone without the battery, so it doesn't need to charge

Thanks alot it turned out to be the USB cable. It was defective I was using the charger for my 8925 and it was working no problem but when I switch back to the TP2 it didn't work!

[Q] Hardware Fault Test Kit

Hello.
I realize that this is probably not the place to ask this question, but I am in need of serious help.
Is there any software kit which would let you test your HTC Desire hardware for hardware faults?
The reason for this is that my Desire is not charging neither through the AC charger nor the USB charger, and I need my phone BADLY.
I have tried a hard reboot, battery stat erase (through recovery, thus I have rooted my phone and voided the warranty), factory erase, and 'charging' the phone whilst the phone is turned off.
I have to say that when the phone is in charge, the battery doesn't go up, no goes down, and it stays on the same level (for now its on 27%).
I am quite scared to run it to 0% and not being able to boot the phone up at all.
Anyone can help/ideas?
Much appreciated.

Have you tried a different usb cable? It's possible yours is broken
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Check Z-Device Test in market. It tells what component is working and what is not

I had a similar problem the other day when I flashed one of them new fangled kernels, it was stuck on 62% after 8 hours of charging, re-flashed the standard kernel and thankfully things went back to normal..
so I was just wondering if you had flashed a new kernel recently?

Are you using the original charger? Maybe its slow charging (USB).

maybe your battery is faulty. Try a new battery.

Hey all.
Thanks for the replies.
@beanbean50 no, I am using LeeDroid's 2.2a kernel with UC-OC, and it was fine for a few days.
@venkig I just tried Z-Device, and it reports that everything is healthy!
I am using one replacement cable. After trying the same cable on my mates phone, it seems that the resistance of the new cable is much higher, thus less current can go through. So for me to charge the phone to 100% -whilst the phone was off- took around 15hrs!
I've ordered a new cable from hTC, and waiting to see if that fixes the problem.
Thank you all for the replies and help.

Desire DEAD!?

Hi having a little problem with my phone, ive taken it to a few shops and neither could fix it.
ill tell you what i did, i s-off'd my device and it worked well but i didnt like the joker boot splash so i reflashed clockwork mod recovery in hope it would get rid and it did, then i wanted to partition my SD card but realised you couldnt do it through that recovery so i went back to the alpharev recovery! partitioned my sd card and flashed Defrost 6.0k which id had running before the hd rom i had on, i then rebooted my phone and it got stuck in boot loop for some reason? i removed the battery booted into fastboot and it just came up with a blank black screen so i removed the battery again put it back in and tada no power? no led when on charge? any help would be appreciated!

How long have you left it plugged into the charger for? Leave it for about 10 minutes and see if you get any joy with the led.
If that does work, you may have the USB brick. I'm just clutching at straws at the minute though!

i have left it on charge all night still absolutely nothing

Do you get any response when you plug it into a computer? Can you see it using adb?

Me too...
My Desire stopped also working today. Practically same symptoms...
In my case the origin is different, I was on Adamg Oxygen 2.0.1. and loaded the latest kernel from Thalamus 2.6.37 R5. All good, the phone was working for a few hours without issues. Went to sleep and left the phone charging (as usual).
This morning the phone was off, no way to turn it on. No led on charging (probably because batt is full). I can see the leds (green/orange) when on charge and batt off, but it doesnt start, no way to force start to recovery (power+vol-down), no view from laptop via adb, in fact it doesnt even identify the device, which I guess is natural if the device is not starting.
Needless to say that any ideas are more than welcome...

I'm not an expert but it might be dead battery aswell, no idea why people leave their phones charging all night long.. i charge my Desire from about 10% to full in like 1 hour.

u need to take out the batt an see if u can charge it whitout using the phone to charge it

First, thanks for taking the time to reply...
For reference, the batt is full, I checked it with a voltimeter and it is good.
I discharged the batt a bit as well, but so far nothing works...
So not a problem with dead batt...

Ive tried charging without the battery in too, no sign of life!!!

For further reference in case anyone is interested.
Battery is charged (tried with another mobile which started without issue).
I also used the batt from another unit in this "dead" one and same behavior, i.e. no turn on, etc.
Only behavior I can easily replicate:
Phone is off, no charger, batt is removed. Now I place the batt in and connect the charger, the orange lef comes up as if it were charging.
When I press the power button (or the VOL-Down with Power), the led goes off and stays off, the only way to go back to seeing the orange led again is to again, remove batt and charger cable, and then putting again back the batt and the charger (in that order).

[Q] Problems charging/holding a charge/can't boot

Having massive issues right now. Last night I left my phone plugged in AC to charge and ran a sleep tracker app. Woke up this morning and found the phone dead. I tried unplugging and plugging again multiple times and managed to get the Red LED blinking then it went steady indicating it was charging. Turned the phone on but as if it wasn't charging anymore, it powered off within minutes. I managed to get recovery running and factory reset (running CM10). Same issue still there. I even tried leaving the phone in hboot and recovery to charge but after 10 mins the battery went flat again. Now I've just left the phone off and plugged into AC. The blinking LED came on again then went steady - but after 15 mins the LED light disappears. I just left it like that, now the phone tries to boot up but gets stuck at HTC logo. Also it is incredibly hot.
Any ideas? Really need help here.
Additional info, installed NFS: Most Wanted yesterday, tried playing but phone really overheated big time. Could that have cause the motherboard to fry? Just seems odd though cause it boots up fine, just won't stay on - can't even get past the initial setup wizard.
Also I would take it back to Vodafone AU but since I can't get the phone up long enough to restore to stock, they might find out I've rooted and thus voiding my warranty.

I had the same problem. I installed NFS MW and it drained my battery like help and when i tried recharging it it wouldnt charge
at all. Even when i pluged the phone on it wouldnt charge. Tried a different cable. For all it could be a adapter/cable problem.
That was what it was for me. I tried a different charger and it worked. If you are using a different charger, use something with 1A output.

If the led is blinking, it means that the battery is verryy low.
once your phone turns on, turn the airplane mode ON and display OFF and wait a few minutes before using the phone.

no luck

Yea, I tried using a different cable, even tried using my old iPod USB to wall adapter. No luck there, but I think I'm on to something now. Thanks anyway

getting there

Hey, yea I figured that much from searching around. Too bad it's such a big flaw. I couldn't sustain a charge at all when I was still on CM10. Couldn't even finish booting up and it would just die. Voltage was super low was my guess. Tried using the fastboot charging script (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658084&page=5) and managed to get battery up enough to flash stock boot.img, did a nandroid restore to Stock ROM then flashed stock recovery. Seems to be stable now, in airplane mode and display off. Started up phone at 4% and now it's at 6% so fingers crossed :fingers-crossed: Thanks for the reply though - needing all the tips I can get!

HELP... Ran my M9 dead now it will not charge or power back up

ok guys i got a hopefully a small problem.. i was watching YouTube and the battery was red alert low then it powers off so i plug it in and about 15 mins later i went to power it back on and it gets to the Leedroid boot animation and powers back off so i tried again and this time it displays the battery %0 and turns back off. this is the first time that i have had this problem.. hope its like its not recognizing the charger someone can give me some help .please
M9 Developer Edition
S-Off
running LeeDroid R26
latest firmware 617.15 Devloper

Leave it plugged in overnight with the charger that came with the phone. I've seen this sort of thing happen with HTC phones in the past, and this will usually solve it.
Sometimes when you run it down to 0%, it can take a while before the phone will power on again. This might be a safety feature to prevent damage to the battery that can result from completely draining it (which normally will not happen, as the phone will shut down when it gets to "true" 1% instead of what Android is displaying as the battery charge).

Thanks bro that worked thanks for your advice
