g1 in the bin
g1 has got to be the worst phone i have ever put my hands on load of **** think its time for the bin only place its good for but thanks for the help

Try with another battery. If it does not work, your phone is completely dead.
I had similar issues with my old G1 and the only solution for me /after trying with another battery/ was to buy used G1 from ebay with broken screen, in order to replace the motherboard.

thanks
thanks but i'm not going to buy another g1 as i know its only about 7 or 8 months old and if theres a problem so soon then theres always going to be problems not a very good phone at all thinking of getting a nokia phone instead they don't seem to have all the problems that these phones do cheers anyway

maybe all the run on sentances lack of punctuation and other stuff just made it go insane and give up and just die because it didnt want to put up with it anymore and because everyone else out there never had any problems with their g1 at all so maybe you can get a replacement if you have the insurance or whatever but you already said you wouldnt have another one because its a total pos phone and i guess you better just go buy an iphone or whatever from ebay because they usually almost always sometimes have decent phones on ebay and when you get it you need to put an otter box on it to keep it in good condition or else your screen will smack slap give a dog a bone break in two piecs and youll be all BOOOO HOOO HOOO HOOOOOO MY IPHONE ARE BROKED AGAIN so then youll drop att like a hot pertado and come back to tmo with a brand new nexus one but hten you realize you need to keep your att contract for 2 more yearzes and you have to get a att nexus one instead of the tmo nexus one and youll be happy and in hog heaven ok cool great k thx bye

so you bought it off some other person? You wanna buy my phone? I'm going to kick it around, open it up and mess with it then sell it to you! Totally blame the phone if there are any problems!

yes bought this phone of my daughter when it was NEW as she got one on contract so i bought it of her from NEW..not
dropped the phone or kicked it around like you think.. i'm an adult not a ****ing child as you think..that's how i know
how old this pos phone is..and as it is i didn't know that my punctuations were that important..i was here for help
not an english lesson

I could help here, but refuse to help anyone that cannot respect basic grammar. Learn how to respect others before you expect them to respect you.

well what can i say to that..but thanks to all for all the help..maybe some of us didn't have the schooling that others had..sorry for being a brain dead anyway

mmmmm
now this thread not looking good ?? only i got a similar problem. posted in Q&A if anyone could help

Did anyone engrave their phone?

I just ordered my Nexus One at its exorbitant price of $529 and almost chose the engrave my phone feature but didnt really want to wait extra time and it won't be seen anyhow.... I was going to put 'iPhone Killa' and maybe 'F$%k Apple!'.....
Anyways, just wondering if you engraved your phone and what did you put?

i was going to put "touch me...thats what she said" (corny i kno) but reading through the disclaimers on the site, i decided not to

I was going to engrave it as well, but decided not to because of the non-refundable part.

Nope. I was thinking about selling my N1 in a year or so, and I didnt think the buyer would appreciate the engrave.

I almost did, but I bought mine on launch day and feared the engraving would delay my overnight shipment.
Come to find out, it's not an engraving, but a silk-screen type process... also doesn't delay the shipping of your phone.
Now that I have it, I'm glad I didn't do it.

I went for it. *shrug* It was free.
All that is gold does not glitter;
not all who wander are lost.

You think that there would actually be someone looking for a second hand year-or-two old phone that would actually pay more than the cost of SHIPPING for it? Not worth selling!

I purchased my N1 on Craigslist for $325.00 about a month ago. The reason it was so cheap? "Michael & Sasha - Always" was engraved on the back.
I personally don't care what the phone says on the back but I'm sure w few people will which means the phone will be harder to sell in the long run.

Or atleast take the phone back
anyways: i hear that the most didn't engrave it at the last minute. Is it because all of you plan to sell your nexus?

I got zKiLLA put on mine

There was a long ass thread dedicated to this back in early January when the phone was released... You're exactly 5 months late to the day.

well im sorry for the useless thread then, but I didn't buy my nexus one in january, i bought it in june

did not engrave incase i decided to re sell.. the nice thing about a no contract plan
wish i had gotten "not the droid you are looking for"
i think that wouldn't have hurt the resale

help me out please im from a different side of xda

so i dont own this phone but my brother in law does. its not rooted and totally stock. he has such bad problems with it and doesnt want to flash or root it. i own a photon on sprit and know a ton about android os and the bounty of phones they offer. im just wondering. he wants a new phone because hes sick of this one and has insurance on it. verizon wont help him and i understand why. now im sorry i dont want to fish thru all the fourms to see the new newsso can someone just tell me and then get rid of this thread. if he "breaks" his phone and calls and pays the 100 for the new one will it still be the same phone? or are they out and will he get something else. thanks for your help everyone and long live google!!!!

Verizon doesn't sell new revolutions anymore but they do have refurbished ones that they will push on him. I have seen stories in these forums of people who went to the store and put up enough of a stink about their revolution that they got a different phone. However I think most of them were on their second or third replacement.

yeah iv seen that myself first hand but hes not the kind of guy to make a stink over things. thanks for the help and replay. im talking about asuron (spelling sorry) what would they give? a refurb? or something else?

All depends on the problems really. Usually they'll just give a replacement.

thanks not what he wants to here but we will try thanks for the help man. please mods get rid of this

I went through 3-4 Revos before they sent me a different phone. Good luck with whatever happens.

Verizon does not handle the insurance. Asurion I believe does. They most likely have plenty of Revolutions in stock. What he will most likely get is someones factory reset POS. They don't actually fix the phones you send back. If they boot, they wipe em and re-flash them. they do a few quick tests then in the bin it goes for warranty and insurance replacements.

i never knew of them giving you a different phone, just tell him to root and flash a custom rom and the phone will be better than a new one

Warranty Replacement, Brand new phone! What to ship back?

Ok so in the past I've always gotten refurb's and was instructed to just send the phone back. Well as we all know the Note 3 comes with a few accessories that are not required to be sent back "battery, backdoor, stylus".. Well I have had one replacement already and it was a refurb that came in the white box and I sent my old one back while retaining my old hardware, no biggie.. Well this time around they sent me a brand new phone (i called and *****ed about 4.4.2 and it's issues) but I'm kind of at a stalemate with the return process.. Do I keep the new battery, backdoor, charger, usb cable, and stylus and just send my old phone by itself back..? That is what the instructions say to do but that would leave me with 2 of everything, and I don't want to get billed for keeping that stuff, but I'd also like to have a backup of everything lol.. I think the instructions think I was sent a refurb but I'm just inquiring to see what others have done in this situation.. Thanks..!!

There... I helped by editing your statement. See above.
Anywayz... on a serious note, sometimes that stuff gets misplaced or lost, since they are going to move your broken phone from bench to bench. Or they may just have a box sitting with no name on it... and soon as they get yours they put your name on the box and walla, a replacement.
I used to have a conscience about this kinda stuff but I learned as I got older they have millions of the accessories and would just send you one for the heck of it, if you called and asked nicely. True story... I have done this a lot.

Destroyed by this HTC One

So...I bought my HTC One in July of 2013 for retail price due to not having an upgrade and at the time being financially capable. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and used custom ROM's until a week ago when I got the unresolvable issue it not being able to charge anymore unless it was turned off. Now, today, it no longer charges when it's turned off and if I'm extremely lucky it's able to charge while being off for about 20 minutes before it stops.
My HTC One is absolutely useless now. I've called HTC and they told me that I still have 20 days of manufacturer warranty and that I could send in my phone if I paid shipping and they'd repair it for me, however I know they'll find out that I rooted (even though I'm back to 100% stock now) based off of the reports I've read about others. They end up making you pay for a motherboard which costs $200+ in repairs. Not only that, but I simply can't go 7-10 business days without my phone at work.
I called AT&T and the warranty there is gone now, so they refuse to help me in anyway as well. I can't sell the phone on Craigslist because it's broken and I can't even get a good deal at Best Buy I imagine for even $100 because of it being broken. I imagine they'll offer me like $40 for it.
$600 down the drain and 1 year later and I have a piece of junk in my pocket right now. I'm without a phone and do not have an upgrade to do anything about it unless I want to pay retail price for a new phone. My only option now I guess is to look into a cheaper Nexus 5 but even that is just not affordable for me.
Has anyone been in this situation? What the hell can I do?

if your 100% stock, and locked in the bootloader, not relocked or unlocked, and the tampered flag has gone, then just un-root it and send it to HTC, they will never know.

I'm "LOCKED" in the bootloader, S-On, not rooted and I'm using the stock RUU thing. I'm completely stock. However, I read that HTC has some sort of program or something that can see how many times your phone has been unlocked/locked or something and they end up wanting you to pay for that motherboard repair.
I mean, I guess I could try, I just hope they don't pull some sort of "Pay or we won't give your phone back" sort of deal.

I know that Samsung have some sort of counter hidden inside them which can be read quite easily and shows how many times its been flashed and rooted etc,, but im not aware of HTC having it, personally, in its current status, I would send it, if they question it, tell them your brought it off a friend and don't know what he did with it before you got it, also if they do pick up on it, then just request they send it back rather than repair it.

Yeah, I'm doing that now. I guess I'll find out if I have the luxory of a replacement that will last me one last year, or if I'm out of a $500 phone. If I get the replacement, I can at least sell that thing on Craigslist when I get a new phone or trade it in towards my new one. This current one is just a piece of metal in my pocket.

I forgot about the HTCDev Unlock Token thing I just read in another thread. I used that when I unlocked my bootloader. Isn't that owned by HTC and they can see that I requested to unlock my HTC One? God damn it. This has me down as hell.

In theory yes, but I nerver heard htc refusing to honor the warranty of a M7 if the phone returned with a stock rom, locked and s-on. Send the phone, i'm 99% sure they will repair it at no cost.

If I get a replacement I'll probably kiss the guy who posted the return to stock guide. He'll save me $350 for a Nexus 5 that will become obsolete in October and drop $150 and make me feel even worse while the Nexus 6 rubs it's nose in my face.

Just brought my phone to UPS to be sent back to HTC. I guess we'll find out in 2-3 days whether or not they're going to quote me for stupid repairs, or if I'll get a refurb phone for replacement with no charge. If I have to pay for repairs, I won't and I'll just get the phone back, sell it to Best Buy and buy a Nexus 5 I guess.
Crossing my fingers :/

Ah...and the stress is relieved. I just received a shipping notice via email saying I'll have my HTC One on Monday. Gosh that was painful.

I had this exact problem (would only charge when powered off) about a year ago. I returned everything to stock, sent my phone to HTC and they fixed it, no questions asked. Maybe others have had difficulty, but it all was fine for me.
