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!

HELP! HTC Desire issues

ok guys, I have a HTC Desire, been using it about 2 months now after HTC sent me a new one . but anyway now I'm in a bit of trouble with it. I plugged it in over night like I usually do to find it perfectly fully charged and ready for its days work. However today was different. I found my phone to still have the orange light on and found this a bit strange, and what added to it was that my phone had not charged AT ALL from last night, but had not decreased in battery either. So I decided to restart the phone, and now it doesn't want to charge or switch on. However if I take out the battery and plug the phone in, the red and green LED's flicker like usual when the battery is not inserted. Any diagnostics anybody? I think my battery died but I don't want to spend £35 on a new one if the phones broken anyway..
symptoms [more in detail above]:
1 It didn't charge
2 after turning off, it didn't charge or turn on
3. if i take out battery, LED's flicker as normal
Never mind guys I found out it's broken, took it to the phone shop and tried a different battery and still didn't work, and mine did with another phone :'(

[Q] Bricked phone or battery?

Hi,
So my girlfriend just got given a used HTC Desire by a friend last monday. It was locked to Orange. Like all android based devices in this house, the first thing I did was unlock all the various bits, flash a decent rom, update the radio etc. and all was working fine all week including the battery dying totally at least once.
On friday, she had to do a 22 mile charity bike cycle for work (chump) and after she got home, she spoke on the phone for a while. Then the battery died. Now it's foobarred.
When I put it on charge, light doesn't come on straight away (hinting usb-brick)
Eventually the light comes on and goes orange.
It then goes green
When I press the power button, the green light goes off and NOTHING happens.
I can't get it to connect to the PC at all.
But since I can't boot it, I can't get into recovery, I can't get the PC to see it so can't use ADB.
I've tried all sorts of combinations of removing the battery, leaving it charging for hours, leaving it with the battery, sim and microSD removed for hours and can't seem to get any life out of it.
The phone looks fine, the water indicators are all still white. My only ideas aside from some catastrophic failure on one of the boards is maybe it's the battery that's shorted itself or something. Does the Desire turn on at all when plugged in with a fudged battery?
Anyone else had a similar problem? Any ideas on how to fix it? Phone or battery?
I'm trying to hunt down someone with a HTC Desire at work so I can test their battery with it - is there any chance this phone could make an expensive paperweight from another battery too?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi.
Maybe the battery, in his last breath, overcharged some circuits and burnt them. But I hope not for you. If the red light/green light works, it means at least that some of the circuit is working so continue your chase and find yourself another battery for testing.

Try and test the battery with a multimeter just to be sure ! Also what about charger was it original htc one ?

Did you ever sort it out?

HTC Desire Z suddenly shut down, cant boot.

Hi, I got a problem with my htc desire z. First, i bought this phone, like week ago, no warranty but 100% working. After few days, i noticed that battery sometimes does not charge, but after moving a cable it was ok, i tried few chargers and i appears to be usb port issue. Few days later i rooted the phone and installed custom rom. Everything was ok, but battery life was horrible - after charging up to 100% phone was up for 4-5 hours with no playing, only sms, calls and some wifi. I flashed another kernel, then yesterday flashed that rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163579
But today after charging to 100% it shut down after like 4h of no use, chaged to 100% again. I unplugged the phone, run Flappy bird and screen went black. Cant boot, cant boot to recovery. When i plug in to computer, red led blinks and adb finds the device as recovery. Please help me guys :crying: I made a backup b4 flashing latest rom so i hope there something i can do.. But maybe its battery dead? Cuz as i said, aprox battery life was 3-5h on every rom, even after recalibration. Hope you can help me. :fingers-crossed:

Considering it's age, you probably need a new battery. Try an Ankers 1600mAh, it's still going great for me.

I will try getting new batery, but i think there is also problem with inphone microusb port.. cuz battery was loading properly only when i deflected the plug-in.

The anker battery is awesome and the price has come way down. You can also often find it with an external charger on the cheap through eBay as your USB port sounds cruddy
If you want to replace the port its about $5 so very cheap but it is soldered to logic board and if you aren't comfortable with fine soldering you will need to pay someone to do this, I would guess about $20
But first peek in at it as sometimes you can see a bent terminal and you can bend it back into place with a toothpick but not always
Best of luck!

Thank you so much for help.. I bought a new battery and it works :victory:

HTC 10 Won't Boot After Battery Calibration - Replace Battery?

So, I bought my HTC 10 sometime last week and I love it, I got the red 2PS6500 version. I have been excited to see people like Leedroid and Faygi working to make this phone so amazing. But I always had a rough battery experience.
At first, symptom was fast draining. It rarely got 3-4hrs SoT, but some days I had good battery life. More recently, I noticed that when using my camera around the 20-30% range, the phone would shut down, and I'd see that it was at 0%-1% and not booting.....
From my research here, this seems like I could try to re-calibrate my battery. I had it charge (powered off) for 2 minutes, then I held both volume buttons + power while still charging. I then let it go up to 100%. When I turned it on, the percent showed 70%. So while it was on, I let it go to 100%. After that, I unplugged it, and rebooted it. It went down to 70% again. I repeated the full charge to reboot. This time, I was 99%. I wanted to reboot once more, just to close the gap from 99% and 100%. USB connection is clean and good, cable works on other phones.
Then the phone just stopped working. It no longer boots up, no LED's, no vibration, buttons don't function no matter the combination. I tried connecting it to my PC and I get nothing recognized. Cannot get the screen on at all.
So I am guessing two things:
(1) Battery might have fired and the connection to the board is gone. I might have bought one that already had issues and this was the last leg of it.
(2) Motherboard damage from the battery? This is something I'm afraid of if I go and replace the battery and I still have issues with it not turning on.
I was hoping anyone with experience might be able to confirm anything I mentioned with the battery issue, and if replacing it solved that.
TL;DR, HTC 10 no longer powers on, shows no sign of life. Battery previously had calibration issues. Should I replace the battery, and then it will turn on, or could there be further damage. Most situations I found were from users that were still able to turn on their HTC 10.

I've replaced my battery recently. I had the same deal. I had to use the actual charger plugged in for a while and it eventually came on

Thank you for responding. My issue/question was more about "if" i replace the battery, will it solve my issue. I have not replaced it yet, and I ordered an OEM battery in hopes that should fix my issue. So hopefully a new battery will allow me to boot up my HTC 10 again.
At least I still have my HTC m8, and I'm replacing it's battery too (swelling and making the screen bulge). The community around the M8 is still strong and there is even the latest RR pie available too.

I gotcha. Sorry I have a terrible habit of skimming and then assuming. Mine was similar but not exact. I was always able to get it to show life after it was on charge for a while.
When I replaced the screen once, i forgot to unplug the battery from the board before I started. I got it all back together and it wouldn't turn on. It wouldn't show that it was charging. So I went in and unplugged the battery and plugged it back in. It acted after like it never happened.

I hope after I replace the battery, it finally boots up. I had to order a new heat blower because mine broke. I'm surprised after I charged it to 100%, it hard bricked and died. I have a feeling th battery was the culprit, since it was always bad at holding a charge....and even more oddly enough, using RR pie on my HTC M8 is FASTER than it was using RR pie on the HTC 10. That battery was very likely affecting my overall experience.

Please do update us with your progress and conclusion. It might help the next person

DEFINITELY. I hope nobody has the issue I am facing at the moment.

UPDATE
So I replaced the battery, was very easy to do with patience and the right tools.
AND, it did not fix my issue. As I opened the phone, I noticed stickers on the chips from a company that apparently did work on it prior to me buying it, and the work they did was bad. I think it is safe to say that the motherboard has suffered severe EDP damage, and it would not be worth the cost to fix it. Burnt pins near almost every chip.... It was so happy being a part of this awesome group, working on the HTC 10 and having Fagyi making the amazing Pie roms. I will be selling my HTC 10 for parts on Ebay if anyone is interested (1 new battery, 1 lcd screen in excellent condition, both cameras, charging ports. . . basically everything but the motherboard that is dead)
So, I am torn between three options. Since my HTC m8 is fixed (top third inch of touchscreen no longer works with tough), I can keep the HTC m8 until it dies and replace it's digitizer/LCD. I can buy another HTC 10 and hope it will not be a crappy one, or I can save and get the HTC u11 (that red color looks so nice!) or go for a Samsung Note 4. I've had the M8 for about 5 years now and it's running RR-P like a brand new phone. I am so sad my 10 just died like that. I was so spoiled with the HTC 10, it was the best phone I ever had. I'd love to have a new device with tons of potential for modding in the future.
Any recommendations then: any device will be modded like crazy, especially with RR or LOS
- keep M8 / replace LCD+Digitizer
- buy HTC 10
- buy HTC U11
- buy Note 4
