[Q] Nexus One Dead - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've read similar posts without trying any answer about what happened so far and what do I have to expect.
My N1 is dead, I'm not able to turn it on neither in normal mode nor in recovery. It seems it doesn't get any power, I've tried to change the battery, using different power supply (USB cable, car dock and regular charger) without any success.
I've already contacted HTC support and I'm waiting to deliver them the phone. Warranty has expired.
Can you tell me what do you think can be happened and what do I have to expect in term of expenses?
Thanks

How did it end up that way, were you flashing something, did you drop it, water damage, etc??

Maybe power button has broke.

I'm having the same problem. My nexus one discharged its batt. wen i was on my way home.and when i plugged into charger and pressed the power, it doesn't switch on. i tried every way mentioned by other members.
had a short life huh...

try another fully charged nexus battery, if that doesn't work and your sure you did not damage it anyway it must be wear and tear of the power button/mechanism buy one of ebay for a few quid and put it in, only problem is, it might require soldering and thats a *****. lol

You can get the flex ribbon which contain the power button, no soldering required. Seen some on fleabay.

If it does not power on with the battery trick it is not the power button at fault. I can't recall exactly what the trick is because I never had to use it. It is something like pull the battery when the phone is plugged in and then put it back or something. Search the forum for how to do if. It should come up.

Simply I was using the device as navigator plugged in the car dock.
It became freezed, the only way was to remove the battery, then it restarted working only after many attempts.
The second time in the car dock as before was the last time I saw it alive...
Actually is in HTC to be rapaired... stay tuned...

When you plagged into charger do you get the charging light (orange/green) ON?
Because in my case light is always OFF...

From "touching" point of view it seemed to work good...

Finally my Nexus One is back.
HTC replaced the motherboard (I got a new IMEI code in fact).
I want to thank officially HTC because they fixed the problem even if my warranty was already expired without charging anything.
I hope this can be useful for somebody, I've heard from another italian guy the same issue for example.
Thanks to everybody who partecipated to this discussion.

Tilt won't stay powered off

First off, I just want to say thanks for anyone who might be able to be of some assistance. I've tried searching google and the forums but haven't had any luck. If I've missed something, please feel free to hit me upside the head with the spoon.
I've recently been having problems with my Tilt regarding charging/battery issues. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2220715&postcount=37
Here's a quick rundown of my history...
- Can use Active Sync just fine
- When trying to charge, it says charging but won't charge
- No visible damage to the mini usb plug (at least to me)
- Had accident where the usb cable was pulled out from Tilt
Now...
I recently bought a charger that will just charge the battery separately from the phone until I can get it repaired. It's working fine so far except one issue. Whenever I try to power off the device (hold the power button till prompted to turn off), it'll power off then it'll power itself back on after 3 seconds. I did a hard reset to see if that would fix anything but it didn't. The only way to keep the phone off is to take out the battery. But once I put the battery back in, it'll power on by itself. The power button doesn't seem to be sticking or anything but I guess anything is possible. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it very much!!!
(I'm currently running the stock AT&T Rom without any programs installed. Also, I've never had any other Rom flashed on it.)

There is an option somewhere in power settings that enables/disables the Tilt from charging when connected to a PC. This may be the cause of the first issue.
However, the fact that it won't stay powered off...I have never heard of that before it sounds like a hardware issue. If your Tilt is still covered under warranty I would get it replaced.

Thanks for the reply! I tried adjusting that setting along with any other settings I could find regarding power but all without any luck.
I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue as well, but I guess what I'm really wondering is if any one can make a semi-educated guess as to whether this could be involved with my mini usb plug issue or if the motherboard is just screwed
I'd love to send it in for a replacement but of course my warranty expired 5 days before the problems started

I'm not a hardware guru with HTC, although I have alot of experience troubleshooting PCs and Servers. I would say that it is unlikely that the USB port is what is causing the device to keep turning on.
In any event, are you qualified or ready to try an replace either one yourself (usb port or motherboard)?
There are 3rd party services that will fix the device...but they aren't cheap...it can cost $1-200 bucks or maybe more.
Are you running the Stock ROM/Radio/SPL? Or did you flash anything new?
You may want to revert everything back to defaults and see if the problem persists.

I'm handy with computer hardware and everything but not really with small electronics. I was willing to send it to a repair shop to have the usb plug replaced in hopes of fixing my charging problems but now I'm not sure if it'll be worth it if there's a bigger/more expensive problem.

I'm currently and always have been on the Stock Rom. I bought the phone as a refurb so who knows if someone here had it before me and flashed a bunch of roms . But since I've had it I've kept it running the stock AT&T rom. I also did a hard reset after I noticed the problem but it help anything.

Hmm..yeah...refurb doesn't sit well with me.
At least the problem isn't a crippling one...since you can charge it with a stand-alone charger. As far as not staying off....that's kind of annoying, but I don't generally turn my Tilt completely off. You can always just put all the power saving stuff on to cut down on battery.
So, it seems like something you may have to live with, or pay for repairs. Hopefully someone can offer a better miracle cure than those suggestions...

I was a little weary of buying a refurb at first, but it was actually in great condition and worked just fine until when I accidentally kicked the cable out of it. But thanks for the suggestions. And you're right, it's still very usable, just a bit more of a hassle right now. Hopefully someone out there has something for me.
Exact same problem as dieneverknowing. I am going to try some new batteries and see what happens.
- When trying to charge, it says charging but does not charge
- bought a charger that will just charge the battery separately - working fine so far except one issue.
- whenever I try to power off the device (hold the power button till prompted to turn off), it'll power off then it'll power itself back on after 3 seconds. I did a hard reset to see if that would fix anything but it didn't. The only way to keep the phone off is to take out the battery. But once I put the battery back in, it'll power on by itself.
im having the same issue on my old tilt. i took it apart. and still no luck . no visible damage, gonna clean everything and put it back together.
was this problem ever solved. sorry for bumping an old thread. But this is my same issue.
Hey don't worry about bumping an old thread. I meant to do the same when I got my phone fixed.
Turns out it was the sync connector that had damage. I sent it to PPC Techs for this service and it made it like new. I never tried to take it apart, but I could only assume that at some point in time, one of the pins in the connector became separated from the motherboard.
thats what it looks like to me. i have it narrowed down to the board with the usb connector. but not sure yet. How much was that service. i would replace it my self if i can find that part at frys today.
Service was $80, and then you had to pay shipping both ways. I had looked into replacing it myself, but my small electronic skills aren't good enough for me to risk it on a pricy phone. I remember seeing the connector part somewhere online for $40 I believe, but I can't remember where though.
But PPC Techs had it repaired in less then 24 hrs after receiving it. And they did a great job. It feels more solid then when I had originally bought the phone.

Help: My HD has suddenly gone dead

My hd has suddenly gone dead. The battery light does not turn on even if plugged in. I have tried to reset while plugged in but nothing happens. Connecting to the pc also doesn't help. Also tried to put it into bootloader without success. This does not feel good. Any ideas what might be the problem?
might be the usb connection. could be loose or bad
Have you tried to remove the battery, and put it back in..had a littel problem like (during unlock) that would turn on, removed the battery for 10s and put it back in and it turn on.

HI Bro Iknow ur pain, this happen to my diamond also, one day just didnt turn on after unplug from my vista machine. Only thing I could think of is that maybe there was a short circuit somewhere between pluging to the computer with usb.
You will have to send it for repairs unfortunately

I tried this and it magically came back. The strange thing is that I had been taking the battery out and putting it back in many times ...but perhaps I had not left the battery out long enough.
The battery also seems full which is kind of strange since I had been using the phone all day without charging.
In any case, I will leave it charging over night and report back tomorrow.
Thanks for your help!

You'd better reflash a stock ROM and keep it for a while until you are reasonably sure that it was just a case and won't happen again.

Dead again
Well...it did happen again. This morning I found it dead again while plugged in. Unfortunately, I did not reflash it to stock rom. I can now only hope that I get a second chance to reflash before sending it off. Any other ideas are welcome.......
entering the new year without my blackstone
Looks like my hd has to take a trip to the factory.
Quick question: since I didn't manage to revert to initial rom does anyone know what the policy is on repairing an htc with custom rom?
That is indeed unfortunate...
What custom ROM have you installed? Have you checked in the thread if someone else had similar issues? And have you installed any particular program?
Also, you had no such issues while you were on the original ROM?
If you have this type of issues, trying to flash a stock ROM without being sure about the cause for the issues might be a little dangerous... There would be, I suppose, the risk that something might go wrong during the flashing process. And you would risk having a lovely brick...
Regards,
P.
I have installed Panosha's light version. No one else seems to be having this problem. Is there a chance that the battery is faulty? Can I have it repaired even though it has a custom rom installed?
Hi,
It might be a problem with the battery, but you could only try this possibility if you used other HD... by the way you have been using the wall charger or the usb cable attached to the PC?
Regarding the possiblity of having it repaired, under warranty, it could depend on the repairer itself. At the limit they could refuse to repair it under warranty, because a non-official ROM has been installed, and, specially, because a non-original HSPL is in place... but they could also overlook this, or do not notice it.
I would make sure it can not be "ressurected" and properly flashed before going to HTC service.

P.

I have tried several times to resurrect it without success. On one ocassion I had the power light turn on for about 2 seconds then dead again. The only thing I have not tried is to try another battery. I will probably find one by tomorrow to test. Otherwise on Friday it will head to the repair shop...and fingers crossed. I will let you know what the repair policy seems to be here in Greece.

Your phone is not broken!
Duttys ROM does not have this problem. I have had the same with Panosha's ROM and with Touch of HD ROM. The screen goes black and only removing the battery brings it back.

I wish this were the case, but even after removing the battery I cannot get it to function. Even when plugged into an outlet the power light does not turn on, so it's clearly more than a blank screen.

Hey guys,
just flashed purexaduio over CM10.1...worked fine so far so i went under the show and let my One do my entertainment and then...all of a sudden...music stopped. Phone powered off. Battery is full, but no LED appears when plugged in. I can try to power it on/off (down't know in which state it actually is)
adb devices - shows nothing....
does someone has an idea?

Happened to me too, complete hardware failure. Im investigating now. Not too happy
Yeah, I'm having the same issues. No pureaudio flash, but was using CM10.1. Hoping someone finds a resolve soon!

So far a solution seems distant. It seems to be complete hardware failure hence the lack of charging led and capacitive button emits. I would suggest going through the process of replacement as a fix is unlikely without a jtag device.

I spoke with an HTC employee today - the power supply in the phone appears to be destroyed. This apparently comes from using third party cables, but it is covered under warranty...
This appears to be a complete hardware failure. Not software related, sadly. Really turns me off from getting another One, I may see if Telus will exchange an S4 for me instead. :/

i just made a post regarding this earlier tonight = / and the car mode is now happening to me now. I called htc support like 5 hours ago and they were absolutely no help at all. "reboot your phone into safe mode" did that "is the problem still occurring?" why yes it is still not charging when on... then they say it must be a hardware problem and to use my warranty and thanked me for my patience and please continue using htc.
I dont know why they have tech support that does not know how to support a recent common occurring problem. I don't even mind the warranty phone as much but i just took a ton of photos and videos the last month and i cant even back them up to my computer now.

Hey after reading through that other thread i did what they said about turning off the developer options and fast boot and it seems to be charging when plugged into the wall but it still will not connect to the computer. Also seems like the car mode is not turning on any more and after resetting it a few times earlier the apps do not open in landscape. So the only issue that remains is the usb connection to the computer although the whole situation is still ridiculous and i do not know how htc wants to pass it off as a hardware issue = / if you find a solution please let me know.

After I restart my phone by pressing volume down key and power key with charger plugged in, it starts to charge and also charge when connected to pc but pc wont detect it. No USB drive no syn manager. (note- I dont not enter bootloader by restarting. just leave power and volume down key immediately after screen is off, else u will get in Bootloader.)
I cant even root.
Any way I think i will sell this phone if no problem occurs.
Regards,
Also if i change any setting regarding USB connection type or developers option or fast boot option and charging stops and i have to again plug in charger and start with power and volume down key.
Other than that some problems keep rising like speaker get on automatically when i take call , dial screen rotates, it keep asking "complete action with day dream or Tunein radio"
Yeah idk now my phone seems to be working fine but yesterday I list sound for like 10 hours so I just called my carrier and they are sending me a new one. Hope you manage to get a decent amount of cash for your phone man

Doesn´t seem to be too unsusual.
My phone (unrooted) began with the not charging problem after about three weeks. There is also a notification telling that I should connect a charger that is supported (shouldn't the original charger from HTC be supported). About at the same time it also decided that all apps should run in landscape mode and it at the same time become a painful thing to answer the phone by routine as it decided to activate the loudspeaker.
The problems are however quite intermittent and disappears and comes back without any known trigger.
I had the device on service when they updated firmware, run what ever tests they run and tried to charge it. All tests passed and I got it back. Everything seemed ok but day two the phone refused to charge again. Back to the store again where they also tried to charge but (luckily enough) got the same result as I.
It seems like if the battery is totally drained, the device starts charging after some while. Before it starts charging as it should, the red light goes on and off for some time.
I have exactly the same symptoms with my HTC One. It does not change until it's fully empty and turned off. Then it does change. The orange LED blinks 5 times and after that it start blinking very slowly.
I sended my phone on repair. True a webportal Im able to see any progression. I noticed they also uploaded a photo, see attachment.
It clearly seems to be missing a small element on the motherboard. (near the arrow). What I find weird thought, is that it seems to be the head of the phone and not the bottom near the USB port.
They also had some trouble opening the device as you can see between the two white stickers on the bottom of the phone. I'll keep you posted on any progression...

Doesn´t seem to be too unsusual.
My phone (unrooted) began with the not charging problem after about three weeks. There is also a notification telling that I should connect a charger that is supported (shouldn't the original charger from HTC be supported). About at the same time it also decided that all apps should run in landscape mode and it at the same time become a painful thing to answer the phone by routine as it decided to activate the loudspeaker.
The problems are however quite intermittent and disappears and comes back without any known trigger.

Also if i change any setting regarding USB connection type or developers option or fast boot option and charging stops and i have to again plug in charger and start with power and volume down key.
Other than that some problems keep rising like speaker get on automatically when i take call , dial screen rotates, it keep asking "complete action with day dream or Tunein radio"

Bad luck. You see way out?
I couldn't figure it out and I tried everything so in the end I called in the warranty and got a new one.

It didn`t always start charging. Sometimes I have had to plug the connector in 10 or 20 times before anything happened. Otherwise it did not start charging until the battery was completely drained.
Everytime it does not charge, the little icon in the left corner tells me that I should connect a supported device.
I sent a question to HTC support about the problem and got the recommendation to send it to a repair center (where it already is) and they actually gave an answer on my question if HTC are aware about the problems. The answer was "We know about it and work on a solution".
Interesting if that actually is true and not just a too quick answer from someone that wanted to close the case at the a technical support.
Has anybody else asked the question?
Any one having charging and USB problem with HTC One had ever charged his/her phone by any other charger (not the charger u get in box) even for once ? I did that all the time !!!
Yeah, I always used a Samsung charger with mine and it works a treat, I just sent mine back to my network provider and they sent it off for repair, obviously, they put it down as a hardware issue and replaced the damaged device with a refurbished device which I don't care about because of rather have one that works than not

Can this be cause of charging and USB prob ?

[Q] can't boot

Hello xda, I just want to ask what did happen to my G1, I'm just using it ordinarily everyday but a few days ago something happen, it cannot boot but only led lights flashing, I can't even reach the recovery or bootloader, is this a hardbrick or something? I'm using a froyo rom I forgot what rom it was and I also using the right radio and SPL combo required for that but I don't know what happen, It just can't boot. Help please.
Is it just blue led? If so then yes its bricked and you need JTAG, if not you may be OK, but as to what happened that's hard to say
May be a battery issue but with LEDs flashing less likely, try to get a PC to recognize, try charging over night and testing with PC again, try booting without SD or sim, try any button combo you can
no not blue

Hello again dem, since my phone can't boot, my laptop can't recognize it, and I'm confident enough to say that my bat. don't have any problem, I do have a universal charger and my battery are charging using it, one strange thing, I also have a cabled charger for my G1 which has a led light as well, I've tried charging it using that and the led light of my charger are blinking which means it is charging but the led light of my G1 was not blinking, I really don't know what happened to my G1, I hope you could give me some help, any way I tried to search for what JTAG is, but I think I can't do it since I don't have any ideas when regards to the hardware aspect of android, I'm even a noob on software aspect of adroid devices.
P.S.
I forgot to say this, sometimes another strange thing happen on my G1, whenever I try some button combo to reach either recovery or bootloader, my buttons and keyboards have lights but my screen is totally blocked out.
Sorry to say but I'm thinking your motherboard is shot. Send me a pm when you get a min. May be able to help you out

hi again dem, I don't think its on the battery, call me crazy or anything but still remember N70? I have one, though their battery differs in size yet their gold energy conductor or whatever they call it is just the same. Since the battery of the G1 are easily drained I need to have two battery but since I'm from Philippines I have hard time looking for battery of my G1 that's the reason why I used my N70 battery on it as a backup whenever my G1 runs out of its juice. Before I can successfully use my N70 battery ( I just place a paper or anything on its side and lower portion to make the fit right) but since the problem on my G1 occurred even my N70 battery are useless and unusable because it still don't boot. I know my problem is a weird one but I'm looking for a way to recover it without modifying or replacing its hardware. Don't have money for it. Hope you could help me with this. thanks.
P.S.
I never run any problem before using my N70 phone, its maybe because they have the same voltage which 3.7 the thing is their capacity. For you to believe me I attached here the photo of my G1
