My friend gave me a lumia 900 that doesnt respond to any button combos/ or show a charging screen no matter what charger i use.. The phone is under warranty but i still would like to fix it rather than send it back to them.. It showed up once on my pc as nokia dload but i cant get it to do it again... i let the phone charge over night and when i took it off charge it still didnt respond and vibrated every second and a half.
Well i let it charge over night on my 700mah vharger and it boots to a white screen and shuts off now... Im gonna end up letting it charge on my brothers 1amp blackberry charger for a hour or 2. Any ideas if that will work. I think it has the battery drain brick....
Mine just did the same thing except my phone is 1 month past waranty...phone shut off when the battery was still half full...charged it over night...saw a white screen the next morning when i tried to turn it on then nothing...went to at&T today and they said i'm out of luck. Pretty poor i'd say.
well i got it to the point where the battery notification blinks when i plug it into the charger. where should i go from here. I honestly dont think the phones bricked. But i know nothing about windows phones
bump. I really dont feel like waiting for 2 weeks or more to get this phone back. Im trying to help my gf out and give it to her

hi everyone,
i've got this problem for a while, you see i got this DASH from my cousin who sent it to me and told me to buy a new battery because thew old one was crash so i bought one on ebay and it arrived a few days ago.
but the battery has 3.7v so its full but the phone doesn't seem to turn on, it won't turn on. don't have idea of what going on.
even while charging it doesn't show signal of being alive, neither the screen nor the led turn on.
if anybody has any idea
I paid US$18.00 for the battery and the battery cover....cheap
you know that can be the problem because after i received the battery I went to a cell phone store in order to get a charger but when the guy plugged in the phone it doesn't show anything, neither led nor screen went on. then he used a charger without pins so he could charge the battery directly ahd so he did. I didn't pay attention to the fact that it hadn't passed 5 minutes when the battery was at 3.7v from supposedly be new without any charge.... .
CLARIFYING DOUBTS::::::
First of all I live in Dominican Republic
Second of all is that my phone doesn't work, doesn't turn on. My cousin in USA sent it to me last week but it hasn't battery, so I ordered one at Ebay. And When a tried to turn my cell phone on it didn't work, it didn't turn on...Even when the battery is charged..Full.... Sad Crying or Very sad
While charging cell phones normally either turn the Screen On or turn the lights/Led on showing that is charging, What my phone doesn't do...
Summarizing It won't turn on
PD: The Phone is new, it has no more than a month used...
I hope you understand better now..
Thanks
help help help
and also i used a multimeter in order to measure the battery power while charging and turning the cell on. when charging it was ascending but (unplugged) when i tried to turn it on the level of the battery descended quickly from 3.6v to 1.3 and lower rate......just because i was trying to turn it on.....
ANYBODY KNOW WHATS GOING ON??????
HELP!!!
My HTC TP2 Battery went dead today. When I got it home I plugged it in and assumed it was charging..
Here's what was really happening.
It charges just enough to boot .. attempts to boot and doesnt have a charge enough to boot all the way up.. Shuts off then charges enough to boot.. Etc..
Then it repeats the same process OVER AND OVER AND OVER
I cannot figure out any way to get this thing to just charge. I have tried for hours now.
Charger is fine but keeps doing the process above..
If any one could help I would appreciate it. I cannot take it back as it has a cooked rom and it has to be charged to change the rom.. I have Absolutely NO friends with the TP2. Am I stuck?

Is the phone off when you're trying to charge it? Off, not in standby.
When it's plugged in and should be charging, is the light on the left side of the ear-speaker orange? Or is that the deal -- it's orange, indicating charging, but actually isn't charging?
How do you know the charger is fine ?
Open your battery cover, .. remove the battery, put the battery again, .. and charge it, .. do NOT turn it ON yet. let it charge for some time, . .and when it is completely charged, .. turn ON the device

This also worked for me. Mine went dead during a conference call. I was surprised to see that the TP2 appears to use more power with WiFi connected and in a call than the charger can provide.
Well I was using my Evo just about 30 mins ago and the battery was low so after a couple of minutes it died. I tried turning it back on just to see if it was really completely dead and well it turned on got to the homescreen and it shut off again. At this point I go grab my charger and intend to charge the phone and the darn thing wont charge, at least thats what it seems like to me. Is the led charging light suppose to come on when the battery is dead and charging? Theres nothing going on right now its just there supposedly charging. I tried turning it back on and nothing happens, I removed the battery and put it back tried turning it on again and nothing. I also tried charging it while connected to a pc and it would detect my evo but all that would popup was that "qualcomm cdma technologies driver" could not be found. Im starting to worry because I haven't had any issues at all with my Evo. I was doing nothing really to cause it to brick not that I'm saying it is, I hope not. just browsing the internet while the phone was on and it died. My phone would charge just fine while it was on and never had an issue with the battery. I was running Cm6 10/7 nightly I believe with KingKernel #2. So is it suppose to take a while for the led to come on? is it suppose to be on? Is my phone dead? Help will be appreciated.
with it plugged into the wall charger or the pc turn the phone on and let it charge with the phone on.
letting these batteries run completely dry until your phone is dead and shuts off is B A D you can and will kill the battery.
i hope you didnt kill the battery.... but.. if you have a nbatteries plus near you you can go buy one cheaper than thru sprint. and have your phone running today. it might not say its a battery for the EVO but it uses the same battery as countless other HTC phones.,
you can also try walmart, best buy, and any place that sells or carries htc phones and accessories.

The thing is my phone wont even turn on or at least give me a sign that its charging its just sitting there connected to the charger but no led light. Does that mean theres something wrong with my phone or the battery? My pc still detects my phone but doesn't charge it. This is the very first time I actually let the battery completely die. Either way I'm going to try getting a new battery hopefully it helps.

so with the phone off, or what appears to be off, your pc still sees something connected... that isnt right, that sounds like the phone is hibernating or in a sleep mode.
so... what happens if you hold Vol Down, and then hold Power...
does it turn on to the fastboot/recovery menu ?
i guess you could try pulling the batter and just plug in the usb cable and try turning on the phone.
technically it should run without the battery (like a laptop will if you plug it into AC power) but i do not know. it probably wont turn on at all.
i would say take your bad batteyr with you and see if someone like Batteries Plus can test it, or Radio Shack.
all else fails, you buy a new one and hope it isnt the phone thats bad.
you can always take it to the sprint store. they wont screw with it, just tell them to see if their battery will make it turn on properly.
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.
i fell asleep and forgot to plug my phone in the charger and i woke up to a dead phone and i figured the battery just died ,
so i plugged it in and nothing happend so i set it down and went to work , when i got home it was still dead and no sign of life so i plugged it in over night and when i woke up it now had a really dim blue light pulsing in the top right hand corner but wouldn't respond to anything ,
it wont boot normally , download mode or into recover mode and my PC wont read it at all but it will make that blue light pules when plugged in like it does when its plugged into the charger .
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this myself WITHOUT going to sprint ?
Or is this a total brick ?
Any suggestions will help ...
Sounds like a battery thats been drained too bad. It doesn't sound bricked. I would get another battery from sprint or amazon. Flashing blue is battery drained beyond repair(in most cases, some have brought the battery back using an external charger as well as just letting it charge). Solid blue no flashing is a brick. :beer:
sent from MY BAD A$$ ET4G
i have one replacement batter i got off eBay that got the phone to fully boot and act normal then it did the same thing in a matter of hours , i don't know if the phone is doing this to the battery's or i just got a bad battery off eBay
this happens to me from time to time when i forget to charge it.messing with it n removing the battery a few times gets it back to normal for me though. maybe this is just a symptom of a bug that isnt well known yet
