I Just pulled it out of the box and put the battery in, and then the phone died. There is not sign of the phone charging and won' turn on, please help.
did you use the included cable and charger ? you should see the wheel on breathing light mode... do you see the HTC logo lit on the charger ?

It looks like my Tytn II might be bricked... I have searched and searched and can not find any info on this. The phone will not turn on. I know the battery is dead, but it should have the power to try to boot. In fact, I have not used it in a while and I just tryed to boot it, it got to the starting screen, then the windows loading screen, and then I walked away for a few minutes and came back it and it was a black screen. Tried to turn on again and it did not power up. Upon plugging it into the charger, I get a solid red light on the top. When I remove the battery from the phone as the charger is connected the LED immediately changes to solid orange, and the blue led next to it comes on as well. When I disconnect the charger all the LEDs go off (obviously because theres no battery) and when i put the battery back in the phone i get a dim red light.
is the phone bricked? im thinking it might have slight water damage but it has been like 2 weeks since then so it should have dryed up i assume. tried to reset a few times with the little reset button next to the charger port, nothing. is it possible the battery may just be done for? any help or suggestions would be great. thanks.
I had that isue but i just leaved the phone on charger and everything came back to normal It's still working very well. But, i cant remember how i get into that situation but i surely know that i saw red light on top .
thanks, now that its been on the charger for a while i now get an orange LED. i will let it charge for a while and see if it awakens after almost 3 weeks of utter deadness.
Try waking it while on charge itslef.

just tried and it got to the very first boot screen and then went black and the orange and blue LEDs stayed on. tried to reset, no luck. unplugged charger, still LEDs stayed on. so then I took the battery out, all LEDs went out, plugged it back in and now i get the same red LED again.
update: now i get a orange LED as its plugged into the charger, but when i try to turn it on it gives the first boot screen for like 3 or 4 seconds then turns off...
I am getting exactly the same problem?
I tried to install android - got it working, came on a few times - then just totally died - It showt he HTC boot logo, but then just turns off.
Does anyone have any ideas.
does your computer see it when plugged in via usb?
perhaps this will help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358136
oh and also you have tried to enter the bootloader mode right?
I've had this issue, millions of times. What I do when I have problems like this (and problems like when I turn it on, it says the battery is low when it isnt, and when you connect your charger/USB, it dies on you)
Try removing and putting the battery back on.
so in simple words
charge the battery first (dont bother trying to turn it on)
and then remove the charger (this plays a big role)
take out the battery, put it back in, hope it works.
The same thing just happened to me, I thought it was toast. I would get the red light when I plugged into the charger, and after a few minutes it would turn to orange. I tried to turn it on then, and it would start to boot up, then shut off a few seconds later. This happened a few times. I just left it plugged in overnight, and when I woke up it was on! Only problem I've noticed is the orange LED is always on, but I can live with that
I was just listening to music from TF3D and all of a sudden the screen turned off, music stopped, and the power button at the top was glowing red for a few seconds. I tried turning it back on, removing and reinserting the battery, but nothing happens. I can't turn it back on at all!
One thing I do notice is if I remove the battery, and plug in the usb cable connected to my computer, the power button glows red, but I can't turn it on. If I insert the battery, and then plug in the USB, the button doesn't glow red.
How would I recover the phone?

Try charging your phone for about an hour. The red light under the power button happened to me when i had used up all of my juice.
yeah i had the same problem and i had been very frightened of it...
just charge it...
Ah ok. Weird! Because when I was listening to music I had just taken it off the charger and it said 90% battery! And I had only listened to one song. I guess the battery meter was telling me false info =(
Thanks all
well maybe your battery was still kinda "new" so it wasnt showing correct data
a red light?
cool ... is this a phone or a light-generator?
it was the first pda with making so much noises by optical... but is good ...
Can anyone explain me how is the red light under the power button? The light doesn't come out from the illumination light, does it? I wanna see how is the light. Screenshot will be better.
It doesnt come out form the illumination light. It's by the power button. Usually it blinks when your battery is at 5% or close to total drained.
It´s a light that´s gives you battery error. I spent 2 days trying to figure it out because my phone wasn´t turning on and the red light was continuissly showin off, at the end it was because of a cheap wall charger (5V and 500ma, when SE uses 5v with 700ma) I just charged with SE wall charger and everything went back to normal.
In your case maybe one of you battery cells broke and that´s why it´s was at 90% giving you that hateful red light.
Here is a post conserning your problem:

i think the battery is low quality fake..
i found out that the fasted way to charge your empty battery is:
1. remove your battery
2. insert you mini usb charger (NOT usb>mini-usb from your computer)
3. watch if the red light is on. (underneath your power button)
4. insert your battery.
5. after 5/10 minutes your X1 is working again.
you can do it by just plugging your charger on when it's empty but then it can take up to 2 days (YES, i have experienced it) to make your X1 working again.
another way is, just plug the wall charger to your x1 then leave it there. the x1 do not wake up that quick because the charge voltage goes up grandually/slowly for protect your battery and phone after the battery voltage same as charge voltage, then it can be charge normally*
Thank god that I read this topic yesterday. Otherwise I would have pissed my trousers because I had the same light today.
HI friends, pleeeeease can anyone help me with my lovely X1.
so everyone knows that when we pulloff the battery, a red light under poweron switch appear and permanently of course.
i have had a problem with the poweron button, the phone was turning it self on, so i decide to replace the button.
now the probleme sloved, but now i have bigger probleme wich is charging probleme, i left the phone charging for few hours but it does not chargin, i changed the cable, and the charger it self but nothing new; and then i figureout somthing...when i pull the battery off, there is now red light the used to be under poweron button, when i plug the cable, the red light blink just for 2times and then its gone.
just for let you know
battery --- ok
battery connector ---ok
charger ---ok
usb cable -----ok
4 light on sides blinking ----ok
i am sure it is a hardware problem.

get from some where a mini-usb charger at 1 amp and give it 5-10 minutes , sounds like the battery is totaly drained
Hello guys, sometimes I leave my phone fully discharged and when I connect it to my laptop to charge it, a small light appears next to the USB port, but I don't know the meaning of this light, because I try to turn on the phone but it doesn't, so I have to use a wall charger to charge the phone.
So, what's the meaning of this light ? do you think my phone is really charging when this small light is turned on ?
Thanks for your help guys.

A usb charger has a low charging rate and you would have to leave it on the usb charge for a while to get it charged up enough to boot. If the white light is on it is charging. My phone will act the same way if I plugged it into the usb on my computer and the phone is dead
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA
The few times the light came on for me, it was when I let it go flat, then put it on a charger, but it didn't yet have enough juice to power back up. Once the battery had a few % back in it, the light went off. I think it's just there to let you know that even though it won't turn on yet, it's still charging.
yes, the white LED is there to say something like "hey, i'm not dead, i'm just really, really, really tired, so don't worry and don't send me to assistance!" more or less
Note I have replaced the battery (battery worked but the unit wasn't charging which tells me bad cable.) Today I had gotten a cable after a long dry spell of not having any money to spare. Plug it in. Unit light turns green, then orange, shows charging icon, then screen blinks and shows empty battery + wall plug Icon. Then turns off.
I suspect the battery is just so dead that it isn't registering as charged. Took the unit apart to plug the charger in with the battery unplugged which caused a red light and blank screen. Plugged battery back in. Same behavior as before.
Do i just keep flicking it on whenever it turns off to hope enough charge trickles in so the internal controller perks and goes 'oh wait I need to do something'?
Edit: Turns on now but it says it's at 11% and not charging. Do i flash cyanogenmod and hope thatdoes something?
