[Q] Semi-damaged XDA Orbit

Hi everyone,
It is almost 2 weeks my XDA Orbit is not working properly. The first time it hanged-up during a call and afterwards it took me several resets to bring it back. During the system load the screen was changing colors and freezing, sometimes completely white, sometimes with some colorful stripes, sometimes solid violet. After several reboots I couldn't turn it on at all. I took it to local service, where they told me that the problem is with boot loader and fixed it. I took it back and have the same experience. I have flashed it with original ROM, both from PC or SD card, but the same problem exist. I am assuming that the issue is in a hardware defect. I know that it is the time to get rid of this PDA and get a new one.
Anyway... Is there a tool available for testing HTC hardware (CPU, flash)???

possibility the battery gone or the lcd.
buy a new battery, theyre only cheep so start there..
leave it off while charging, green led when done.
if its not your battery, i think its your lcd..
best to open the device and check your lcd is connected properly..

Thanks! raving_nanza
Opened my Orbit recently, the connector is in place. I would assume that the issue is more in battery then LCD. The battery surface is lofted.
Assuming that it's a battery issue - should the same happen if the device is always connected to external power supply?

LOL
get a new battery dude..
dont turn the device on untill the new battery is fully charged.
a simple fix hopefully..

Charging symbol when not plugged in anyone?

Has anyone else got this? Bit of background to what happened....
Phone is roughly 7 months old, never had one problem with it - the night before 4.2 got released I stumbled across a problem I've never seen before....
Phone was on 7% battery so plugged it in, and carried on watching TV - came to using my phone an hour later and found my phone had switched off.....tried turning it on and nothing happened so I thought it must of crashed and needed a battery pull.
Did the battery pull and tried turning on and still nothing - the charging display when turned off kept appearing and disappearing like I was plugging/unplugging the phone from charger....
At this point I thought my charger had semi-died so used my computer USB port to charge it, turned phone on and voila, says charging and phone switches on.
Phone has normal 2 day battery life ever since, however now my phone thinks it is constantly charging when nothing plugged in (see screen shot below).
Is this a damaged USB port? Anyone changed one?

Do you mean you tried replacing the whole usb port or tried a different charger?

Just cleaned the USB port out with a paint brush. Then bent the contract up SLIGHTLY with a tiny flat blade screwdriver......
No more charging error now.

Screen has blue green yellow vertical lines

It was perfectly fine for a day and a half until I put it back on the charger for about one hour and then the screen was like that. Tried fixing it by resetting and restarting and turning it off overnight. Still like this.
I'd like to note that it was fixed when I changed to the convergence watch face for about 5 minutes after shutting it off for about an hour but it came back in 5 minutes. I feel like there is a solution if it managed to fix itself even if only for 5 minutes. Has anyone had this problem.
I did contact Motorola and had my case escalated so another question is if this does need to be replaced, how long does it take.

Same issue
I too am seeing the same thing on my silver 360. It just started out of the blue about thirty minutes ago. I have tried resetting charging and erasing. I'm still having the issue. I will most likely contact motorola ASAP.

I would say that either the screen is faulty or there's an issue with the SoC.

Nothing out of the ordinary, just watch faces really. I'm so lost because when I got home today, I managed to fix the problem by deleting the android wear apps on my phone. It was 1 o'clock now it's 9 o'clock and it somehow has come back. ;( I don't know why! And I can't fix it this time

It's definitely a hardware issue (bad memory I think) and software could avoid it if it knows where the bad memory is, but it's hard to know how much memory would be left. If there's not enough good memory then it would be forced to use bad space...
Sadly I think it needs to be "refurbished"

[solved] ZL dead, no reaction (because of faulty battery) - emergenc charge method

I had an issue with my phone and resolved it, this is me sharing this particular error and solution.
First the Problem:
I had my ZL running low on charge and the next morning it would not react to anything.
pushing buttons (and a combination of buttons, like power+volumeup) did not work
connecting it to the charger
connecting to pc did not show the device or trigger a reaction (did not show up in device manager)
Solution A: Install a new battery (e. g. via IFIXIT guide).
Solution B (try on your own risk!!!):
Open the backcover of the device (i used the IFIXIT disassembly guide).
You dont need to remove the main curcuit board, you just need to disconnect the flex-cable of the battery shown in the picture below, the pink marker shows the battery connector (top right).

I bent the connector so that it was accessible with my universel charger, which looks like this
I connected the two marked connectors go to the + and - on the flex-cable of the battery and the charger signaled that it was charging the battery.
I guess you can use any universal charger of this fashion. Do not use your standard usb charger, it's dangerous!
After 10-20 minutes i reassembled the phone and was able to charge it normally, start it up, etc.
I'm no expert but this is what I think happend:
A completely drained and at the same time worn out battery did not allow chrging the divice. Mine was 20 months old. The phone controls the charging process I think, so maybe there was not enough power left for that.
I will be replacing my devices battery with a new one and I suggest the same I you have had the same problem.
I hope this helps

current limiter

ello guys I have a LG G FLEX for many years I can not let go of it, I have already bought several spare parts they are always getting the high price. I got tired of buying batteries. they always have a problem with me that is, the phone restarts even with a high battery percentage it always restarts depending on the application that is used, doing some tests I got the battery charged I used a multimeter I tested the poles all ok, I tried to turn on a weak led without problems, everything turned on smoothly, I used a lamp that consumed more current, so the battery started to drop to zero at intervals, I opened the battery and tested it without going through her circuit, I tested it directly on her poles so there was no problem, so the problem was in the circuit small battery, I tried to do a search I didn't find much I saw a video of a gentleman saying that he has a limiter in the battery circuits but the circuit he presented was totally different from mine, I'm not very deep in electronics I took about three old batteries and I tried to find out what that limiter would be and I pulled out a component that I think might be it but I'm not sure yet That's why I come here looking for people with more experience in the matter, I even added a power bank battery to my lg today it turned off twice I already think that the part I removed can't be the right one I'm leaving the circuit photo here . it would be easy to just remove the circuit but if I do that the cell phone will not show the percentage anymore I won't know when it charges and it will be dangerous, so I need the circuit working but without the current limiter, I thought of an electronic schematic in my head I'll leave the image here too, I don't know if it will work, I need the cell phone to read the battery percentage and at the same time not limit the current.
