Recently I have changed my battery,since my phone wouldn't charge even if my charger is plugged in.Anyways I changed the battery and as soon as I turned it on (without a charger) phone turned on,got trough the boot animation and when it was just about to get finished it just turned off,and started rebooting.So I was scared a little bit since I have a custom rom on a locked bootloader,scared of bricking my device or something.Anyways when it started rebooting it turned off again,and than it just started the screen off and on,screen off and on.And no sony logo or anything.It just puts screen on and off.The LED light is off to,at the first booting it was normal.Just a note,the phone hasn't been working (turned on) for a month.I am thinking it's something wrong about the contact with the battery and the phone.The contact is not good I am thinking.Also there is no regular first vibration after turning on the phone.And I have tried volume button up and power button combination,and there are four vibrations (first one,and after that three consecutive).So anyone got an idea what it might be?What's the problem.Please if you have anything on your mind,let me know.Oh yeah and again one more thing.When I put my old battery in (the broken one) there is an LED light,but not turning on obviously lol.

And how exactly am I going to do that by having a phone with 0% battery?

Weird thing happened with my phone today. Was listening to some music and browsing the facebook at the same time and suddenly music changed to this high pitch noise and had pull pull out the headphones cos it was really loud.
Everything on the phone froze and I was not able to do anything. None of the buttons worked etc.
I ended up removing the battery and once inserted it back, and pressed the on button, phone wouldn't come back on. Not even a vibration.
I have just plugged it to my PC and can see the orange light as if it is charging. But still won't come on. If I try and turn it on, orange light disappers but if I take the battery out and back in again, starts to charge - orange light.
I know the phone was fully charged before I left work and this happened almost like 15-20 minutes later.
I will contact HTC tomorrow, but just wondering if they'll repair it as I have used unrevoked about a week ago to root the phone but I have not loaded any roms as yet - Still have the original t-mobile rom.
So the screen stays completly black when you power the device on ?
You might try to Hard reset the device.
I would recommend this anyway before giving the phone away.
Else you can try to boot into recovery.
Or connect to your PC via USB and see whats happening.
Boot into recovery by holding down Vol Down and powering on. Try clearing the cache and rebooting.
If it doesn't boot, I recommend, doing a full wipe and trying again.
If this still doesn't work then put a room on your SD card and flash.
If you can't boot to recovery then its a hardware fault or battery issue. I suggest going into your local Telco store and ask to test with another battery.
Good Luck
Further to this, this morning I have noticed that the battery light was green, so the battery is obviously charging.
I still cannot turn on the device using power + vol down.
Called HTC now and arranged a collection.
Last week I awoke to find my G2 completely dead despite the fact that I had it plugged in all night. I plugged it into another charger and after several attempts to turn it on I still had no luck. Then I decided to do a battery pull. After putting the battery back in and plugging it back into yet another charger the amber led came on, but only for a few seconds. I repeated the process and then was able to turn on the phone when the led came on. At that point the htc boot screen showed but the phone shut back off after that. I am able to enter the boot loader, and the phone stays on, but if I try to enter recovery from that menu, it shuts off in the same way. The weirdest thing is when I try to hold the key combo to boot into recovery, the phone does 2 or 3 little vibrates then the amber led blinks.. I received a new battery from amazon today but the same problems are occurring with that one as well. Any ideas on where to go from here guys, because this is totally stumping me..? Thanks.
Hey
My phone stopped working.
A few weeks ago it suddenly didnt turn on anymore
The evening before i put it in charge coz it only had 6% left.
The next morning it didnt do anything
no led light, didnt turn on.
When i try to boot fastboot mode, the light doesnt turn on. when i put it in charger, the light doesnt turn on, my computer doesnt recognize it.
i tought lost case, its dead.
but this morning i tried to turn it on one time, it didnt work. i put it on my desk. i accidently wiped the phone off my desk, it turned on.
It showed Sony Ericsson logo, as im used to, the screen lights up very bright for a second, normaly the key lights and the led should turn on, that didnt happen.
then it went to a black screen, and turned off after a few seconds.
after that it didnt turn on anymore
Maybe the worst part: coz my father is going to buy an iPhone 5, he wants to give me his 4
is there anything i can do? I no longer have warranty.
Have you tried removing the battery, pressing power, then letting it charge for a couple of minutes, and then try to turn it on? Maybe it's really completely empty.
You had anything custom in there?
Did you use the original charger?
As I can understand, phone does not go into flashmode (while turned off, back button and connect USB cable) or fastboot mode (same thing but menu button)?

Repair the firmware with PC Companion, or if you wish to take the advanced way - Flashtool.
[Q] random shutdown and wouldnt turn on! & "cheap" simple white charging icon!
before some mins i found my phone literally dead! it wouldnt turn on and it wouldnt charge (no led no nothing!). i put it in charge pressed the power button for ~15-20 sec a couple of times and it opened! any ideas why that happened? (i am on 4.1.2 v10h stock unlocked and rooted yesterday with latest version of the apps needed).
also after this (after unlocking i didnt check it before this happening so it maybe is from unlocking? or root?) when i charge it when the phone is turned off i dont see the "nice-looking" charging animation/icon but a "cheap" simple white one!
is this normal after unlocking or not? should i do something about my issues?

Charging animation is normal.... No worries...
Sent from my LG-E975 powering Stock 4.1.2
Its normal.. Big deal for an icon. You should check if the screen turns off when the phone is charging powered down. Its a problem with stock kernels/Roms when you unlock it with FreeGee
Sent from my LG Optimus G using Tapatalk
yeah i dont care for the icon if its normal thanks!
u mean the screan stays open when charging powered down OR that the phone shuts down completely when its charging powered down and it actually stops charging?
my phone powered down by itself when it was just "sleeping" i only had wifi on and the phone was untouched for ~30min. (btw i have all auto sync staff turned off) and then i couldnt turn it on (actually no life signs as i said earlier), it took a looong press of the power button and the phone being connected to the charger to make it just start charging in powered down mode! after that everything was fine!
(btw i had 70% battery before and after this happened, when i saw life signs i removed charger and opened it).
thats my biggest worry now :/
anyone have ever seen something like this? i have searched but i didnt find a solution or an answer in general!
edit: this has happened to my gf's optimus g also but it was dead for 1 hour!
bump.... i have the same exact problem too, did u find a soulution ? ??
Or some clever advise ?
nothing new from my end. also it never happened again but who knows what the future will bring...
Like title says, my VS985 is looping in random ways and sometimes doesn't recognize that the battery is in the phone. Here is an overview:
- While off the charger, it is unresponsive, no buttons work.
- Recovery button combo does not work. I cannot get into recovery at all.
- While plugged in, it shows the battery screen, then reboots into a loop, has a long vibration
- Plug in + power button is a short vibration, I see the LG screen then it reboots to the above loop
- Plug into PC + up button shows the download mode screen then reboots to above loop
- At random times it will display the gray screen as if I plugged it in with no battery
Am I screwed? Wanted to sell this thing but I doubt it now. It was rooted running an older Euphoria build

Not going to buy a new one to attempt it since this isn't even my main device.. However, I left it plugged up in it's battery loop all night and this morning it had booted successfully and the battery was at 100%
I unplugged and powered it off, it's still unresponsive. No buttons work at all. I plugged it back into the charger and it starts the same loop again...........

Exactly the same behaviour with my d855. The last few months were just random reboots here and there, occasionally needing a battery pull. These days it was turning off randomly during use but never while plugged in...now it doesn't even boot while plugged in. Your description matches my experience perfectly.
I've seen quite a few reports of this behaviour, all happening recently...what is going on?

Not sure how to explain it, I don't think it's the battery since it will sometimes boot up correctly. I ordered a new power button flex cable off of ebay when I made this topic, when it gets here I'll post again with the results.
@3dawg the brand new power flex cable solved my problems, which was that the old power button became faulty and was rebooting the phone before it could start anything
after installing the new flex cable, I was able to charge the phone (it was completely dead from rebooting) and now I'm able to use it again

This is interesting because replacing the battery on mine also completely fixed my problem. Thanks for letting me know!
