Please help! - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was fooling around with ROM cooking, it bootlooped, so I naturally pulled the battery. Now, it isn't booting at all and the charging light isn't turning on when plugged in..... help!

Charge light not comming on when plugged in ~= brick.
HOWEVER, sometimes mine won't come on if it is REALLY REALLY Dead.

Plug it into the wall for 10 minutes and try it again.

My battery was at 70% before it happened. It isn't dead.

Try ADB? Maybe the screen is just black?
I accidentally pushed all black boot screens to mine once....confused the hell outta me for hours!

me too. I did have an instance earlier today, where something I did may or may not have erased my boot.img and disabled adb all in one fell swoop, and I was forced to pull the battery. Don't ask

Can anyone help?

I have a g1 and it is rooted. I had everything going great then my wife took it over and now it will not show the battery. Its shows 0% even though the battery is charged. I have tried several batteries. I have since went from danger spl to regular. I have changed to several different roms I was going to try to unroot but it will not let me flash DREAIMG due to it says the power sources not sufficient. I also wiped the battery stats from the recovery and nothing. I can get it to stay on when plugged up but as soon as I take it off the charge it dies. I am out of ideas. If anyone has any idea I can try I am willing. So feel free to send ideas.

It sounds like your battery is bad, call HTC and ask them to send you a new one.

Both batteries are good. Both have been tested in other G1s and work great.

Then something is bad on your phones hardawre side, have you ever dropped it, gotten it wet, etc.?
Does you lady/you take it in the bathroom with you when you take a shower? When you wiped the battery stats, was it a full battery or empty battery in the phone?

Not that I am aware of. I know that I never dropped it. She says that she didn't do anything just went dead on her like this.

The first time I did it it was full charge. but to no avail. I tried that then leaving it on with the charger in thinking it would eventually reset itself but that didn't work either.
Do other batteries work in your phone?

Does the phone get taken into the bathroom when a shower or bath is being taken? Was it left in the car for an extended period, ie longer than an hour?
Check the battery connections, they have been known to go bad.

Then it is your phones battery connectors. As to answer your question, when plugged in the phone switches to ac power instead of battery, this can be seen when you take out the battery, plug your phone in, and turn it on.

It will charge your phone when it's off. Which is a most excellent feature to have when your battery dies. Cause if you don't, your battery won't charge.

Then it wasn't fully dead, just dead enough to shut the system off. Depending on when the system decides to go down, and how long from that point it takes you to get it on a charger, you may or may not get lucky

[Q] How can one tell if this phone is fully charged?

The title says it,don't tell me somethin like "look at the top right of your screen" cause I offline charge it. Now I turn off the phone,plugged in the charger,yay its charging. 5 hours later I go check on da phone,WTF? It doesn't say anything,the battery logo with the lighting icon is still da same! So how can you tell if its fully charged? Cause It never says anything. And don't tell me to turn it on and see if its a 100%.
Now that's pretty odd. Hmm, maybe its nothing. Try this,if you are running on an old firmware install the latest from the update centre,if you already are using the latest firmware try resetting it,not just the settings but with the data being wiped as well.

Cause if you charge your phone while its off,its a thorugh charge. If its own it won't be fully charge,its resources are still used. I called Sony and asked them about it,also years back when I owned a lg,nokia and samsung device. They all said the same charging your phone while its off is the best thing,cause its a thorough charge.

Yeh and that's gonna save you what.. 1% better battery life over 2 years? And you gotta turn off/on your phone every night/morning.
With idle usage of XZ and 1500mAh charger it will charge 100% no problem

Nonsense. It charges just fine whether it's on or off.

Talk about paranoia, just use it normally, don't turn it off, unless you're planning to keep the phone for the next 10 years. It _might_ have made a difference in the past with the _old_ batteries, but with LiPo it makes little difference.
Safe yourself the trouble.
I thought the phone has a Li-Ion not Li-Po.

There is no way of telling short of changing the way the notification light works for charging and I wouldn't even know where to start with that. Just leave it on, the XZ charges (with official charger) in like under 2 hours anyway, you're only making things difficult for yourself.

[Q] Cellphone restarting like nuts

Hello, i've got today an S3 MINI here with a strange issue, the cellphone when using it normally from all sudden it reboots and starts a weird scenario that doesn't boots up until a charger is plugged, when this happens shows an 75% 80% battery level (aprox) and the device works for a few hours normally and then it drops again.
Tried FACTORY RESET, no go... What's the next step on the issue??
Thanks!

I think the battery is damaged
You have a bad battery. The same thing happend to me last month. If you pull out battery, you'll probably notice it's inflated a bit.

Look closer or try to feel it with your fingers. Mine is barely visible
Or something else died in your battery. but if it can't hold charge, chargest fast and discharges even faster, restarts.. time to change the battery. They're not expensive luckaly

Wont boot up?

Hi guys,
I'm having issues with my Mi mix where it just shut down by its self and will no longer boot up anymore, it will load the Mix logo for a few seconds (after the initial Mi one) before shutting down. I can access the recovery, and have tried flashing a new rom, as well as fastbooted the original rom on. Is there any way to fix this?
Also, when plugging in the charge cable it will show charging, but stuck on 67%, it doesnt go above that with overnight charging.
Cheers,

Well maybe unplugging battery for a while may sort it, watch a teardown before attempting, I suspect the battery is actually flat and needs charging but it's stuck in some weird situation. You didn't say wether it was rooted with TWRP.

Thanks for the reply, I've unplugged it and tried rebooting, which it still wouldnt do. I have ordered a replacement battery just in case. And yeah it was rooted with TWRP running EpicRom when the shut down occured.
