Hardware Damage? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok since about a week ago my G1 would randomly turn itself off, but never give me a low battery warning, and never say powering off. If I turn it back on, sometimes it makes it to the lock screen, and sometimes it doesnt and it just turns itself back off. Sometimes itll even fully boot and I can still use it (rare cases) but the battery will still say its fine, and sometimes it gets low and turns off. Sometimes even after shutting itself down I will lose all my contacts, sms, etc, and it will sync back up, very wierd and annoying. The only remedy is putting it on the charger and turning it back on, and I will have no problems. I dropped my phone recently also, this could have caused this madness, or its a battery issue, I will try to swap batteries and c how it is. But any ideas?

My S730 turns off automatically

Hey there.
I have my HTC S730 for nearly 2 months now.
I don't know why but my Wings plays a strange melody and then turns off.
Even if the battery is fully loaded! After it turned off it takes a long time before i can turn it on again. I can push the start button on the top of my smartphone but nothing happens.
I don't know what it is. I Hardresetet my device 3-4 times now but it's still not working correctly.
Can you please help me?
Did anyone recieve the same "error"?
I have the same error!
But no solution.
It happens sometimes, mosty not logical... I'll wait for a few weeks, if it keeps on i'll go back for warranty!
What are you running when the reboot occurs? Never looked but is there a way to schedule it to do such a thing?
Does it display anything on screen before it happens? You might check in the power options to see if its shutting down due to some setting...
When I have some time I will dig through mine and take a look.
Off the top of my head I would surmise that its either overheating and shutting off, an installed application is causing issues and it is turning off, a setting within the phone is causing it to turn off, or something is wrong with the device.
May be caused by overheating. I have no other applikation installed on my Device since i Hardreset it. It shows up the HTC logo when it shutsdown.
I dont run any applications at all. Sometimes i listen to music with the Music Player.
When i start my phone up again (after some waiting time) it shows me that my battery power is 0. After some time of waiting it shows me that my battery is nearly fully loaded.
It only happens 1 or 2 times per day.
But please help me
It's not overheating in my case.
I saw it happen last time (5 minutes ago), just before the HTC logo is saw a little cross trough the battery indicator. I suppose the battery is not good? After reboot the indicator shows a full battery??
I would give HTC a call about those batteries. I would think that they are bad, or the phone is having issues drawing power from them and so it shuts off.
If its overheating it should be VERY warm to the touch, I have gotten mine warm but never hot after some heavy use, but I just let it cool off afterwards and it was just fine.
Usually with low battery it will flash a warning on screen and make a noise indicating low battery, but if the battery suddenly is in zero the phone could automatically shut off. Does it power off quicker than a normal shut down sequence? I would have thought that the phone would just run until it's instantly cut off by a dead battery, but if its misreading it or reads it in the danger zone it could have an auto shut down.
Had the same thing with my wings/s730.
After hard resetting it it worked fine again.

[Q] My phone "charges" itself for a few seconds and then it doesn't.

My phone keeps charging itself. It doesn't really charge but something is really broken with the phone. My phone says it's charging itself and 5seconds later it isnt. That causes my screen to go on and off and basically my screen wont turn off. When i have shut the phone down, it still has the charging logo and whatnot. Also the battery level sometimes just changes when i restart my phone.
^^I think that happens because my phone has got some liquid damage (was in some coke for a second)^^
^^All of that sometimes stops, when i use my phone for about 20 minutes with battery heavy apps. It doesn't work always but about 6/10 times.
I have bought a new battery so it's not that.
Any help would be appreciated
May be the USB port. Try cleaning it.
doesn't seem to be the USB port

Random restarts, how to narrow down the cause?

I've had my Note 8 since launch and have been putting up with random restarts every few days (even happened mid call a couple of times) so I took the plunge and factory reset it a week ago. I purposefully only restored the most essential apps to rule out any of them as the cause.
Over the last week, I've had a few restarts and noticed that they occur when the phone is coming in/out of sleep e.g.:
Taking the phone off wireless charge, the screen tries to turn on but it just turns the phone off.
Putting the phone on wireless charge, the phone goes to display the wireless charging indication halo thing then just shuts down.
When I've had a notification come through when I'm out and try to turn the screen on, then it restarts.
These have only happened once each time so I can't repeatedly try any of these out to see if I've found the cause. Has anyone else experienced anything like this or know how to narrow down what the cause could be?

Changed battery, now LCD won't stay on

I swapped the battery on my F8131 and now when my phone boots up, I get to my main screen and the screen turns off. The phone still works, clearly, as my alarm was going off this morning, but the screen won't turn back on unless I re-seat the battery. Then the process repeats itself. Touch works, as I can swipe before the screen turns off.
I've re-seated all the connections, dried it out, put the old battery back in, pulled each component one by one to see if it was shorting, power drained the phone. Nothing fixed the issue. I can't get to the recovery menu as the volume buttons don't work properly.
Any thoughts?
Did it get wet?
If so take out the battery asap!!!
