You can also try leaving the phone plugged in and trying to remove and reinsert the battery until it turns on.
the battery was alright till the day before. you really think that might be the issue?
The HTC guys said something must be up with the flex wire or something . anybody now bout that.?

tried it without success
It could be a faulty power button (it happens a lot). Read this:

If it was a bad flex cable, it means that your power button would stop working. My suggestion was because I thought your power button went bad. If it didn't work, it is probably related to the battery or some other hardware issue. I can't remember, does the N1 function without a battery if left plugged in?

nope. it just shows the orange light while charging. but refuses to come on. :\
Is there any way to find out for sure if power button is broken without sending it to HTC centre first ?
Well, if you battery is completely toast AND your power button doesn't work, I don't know if you would be able to get it to turn on by removing and reinserting the battery while the phone is plugged in.

Do you have a friend that has a Nexus One? Maybe you could borrow the battery to see if that is the problem.

Well, depending on what all you wanna throw at it, you can pick up some cheap batteries off amazon for $10-$20. Who knows how long they will last, and who knows if they are actually related to your problem, but for that amount, it may be worth it to try.

hehe. i will make the service fellows try a spare battery in front of me for free instead .
He said that if it recently fell (which it most probably did) then the flex wire might be dislocated fixing which is 5$ (250 INR) . If its broken then it will be 42$ for replacement. Will get it checked up tomo mostly.
Those prices seem really reasonable. I think the flex boards for the power button go on ebay for around $40. Sounds like a great company!

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.

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.

do you know where I can find a diagram or anything on what I am looking for?
Hi, I have a funny problem since today morning. I came home yesterday and plugged the N7000 on the official loader. It flashed up as it ever does and I went to bed. Today I went to my phone and the only thing it does is showing the Battery with a non rotating circle in there. The same thing happening when the battery is fully dead, but before it continues to boot further the screen starts to flicker like if the battery is fully dead and powers down. Then it does the same thing again and again and again. I cant intervene with any button combination at all as it seems.
One thing to note, I had the NX Kernel flashed and increased the USB charge power from 450 mAh to 600 mAh meaning the same power level as it uses on a real PSU. In theory this should not even make any problem here then.
What could I do? Any way to make it STFU and just charge the Battery to a useful level before it boots and seems like to use too much power to make charging of any use?
And the most important question? What could be the problem? The Battery is just a year old and a official one.
Replace the battery. Sorry mate :/

Because it's old and dying out, perhaps.

Or because of the USB. I dont know if it was the problem, but some twisting of the plug in the connector and some time lying around in the sun and it lives again ^^
Hello guys my HTC One that I got around launch suddenly decided to quit out on me. It had died because I was using it. I charged it for a bit and then it died again so I put it back to charge and no LED light. I've switched out with multiple cables and nothing seems to be working. So I'm going to go on a limb here and say its bricked. Any other words of advice?
Btw it is a T-Mobile phone so what do I do if it is in fact bricked? Will they replace it for me because I would hate to buy another phone because this thing isn't cheap. Thank you guys in advance
Rooted? Which ROM?
Um, sure I guess? Should this be in a different section?

Make sure it's fully charged! Then unplug power cord. hold both power and down volume buttons around 30 second or more. That worked for me!

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!

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

Was the battery indeed, Samsung took care over it, but makes me wonder... How bad is assembling Samsung it's phones...
So I was using my phone and was running low on battery power. My ended up dying at like 5% as usual with my droid turbo. I was with my friend in his girlfriends car and plugged it into her cheap charger she picked up at a gas station or something. My phone registered the charger and then began the battery symbol like usual although it never got to the battery percentage, it just stayed as a gray battery symbol with the lightning bolt. After a while the phone screen went black and wouldn't respond to anything and figured that the charger just made the phone go dead and that I could plug it into a Verizon charger to make it work again. When I got home I plugged it in and nothing, no response at all not even the green light at the top of the phone. I plugged it into my computer and it shows up on device manager as QHSUSB_BULK. Now to be clear my phone was never rooted or had anything done to it. The phone was completely stock. I need help frantically because I need to get some media off of the phone if at all possible, whatever the cost. Not sure if just letting it charge for a while will help or not. Thanks for the help in advance.
If you plug it into your home charger it should turn on at least and show the battery symbol when charging and it should go up if you haven't tried it already. If it doesn't, sounds like some kind of charging issue.

The phone doesnt respond at all to any commands. The green light doesn't even pop up as if thebphone was clear dead. Took it to Verizon they thought the battery might be fried which I guess would keep the phone from turning on.
That is entirely possible. When I buy after market chargers, I generally only buy anker stuff. I've never had a problem with their stuff. Get what you pay for. Not that you bought that but yeah.

Yeah I definitely learned a lesson. Is there any way I can get the data off of it though? Would Motorola recover the data for me or is there some way? The data should all still be there considering there were no deletion processes. Of course maybe im wrong but I just hope I can get everything recovered.
It's possible if it will connect to your computer and you can read it but otherwise I'm not sure
Assuming the charging port is damaged you could try a wireless charger.

Well like I said the computer can read it, but thats all it can do. It recognizes it as being plugged in but cant do anything else.

If you try a Qi wireless charger, that would give it the chance to actually charge. Maybe some circuitry in the USB port is damaged and it's not receiving a charge. You actually have the phone, so you know better. But wouldn't hurt to go to a store and try putting it on a Qi charger for a few minutes as a test. When my phone is OFF and I put it on a Qi charger, it actually turns it on, boots the phone.
That is definitely a thing to try. If your computer can read it then you can easily save the files off the phone.
I'll have to give that QI a try. People st Verizon probably didn't even think of that.
How would I go about getting the data off of it though? The phone doesnt show up on computer just shows up in device manager under the code I wrote in the first post.

One step at a time. If it will charge normally with Qi and boot, then it once booted it might show up as device on PC.

I tried the QI charger and it did not work. Thr light on the Verizon pad flashed red. Thr battery has got to be fried. So im not exactly sure what to do next.
Well, you can always get a new one through insurance or through swappa. I get that it's the stuff you want to save though. Might not be able to if your computer can't see it as a SD card unfortunately.

Well the way I look at it there's always other phones but not memories. So if worse comes to worse I'll just tear the phone apart and find the internal storage.

So there's no way you guys can think of to get this data off? I could use all the help I can get
Even if you tore yours apart and found the memory chip, it's soldered onto the board. I know because I've opened my turbo to do repairs and it's not hard but not easy. Maybe, just maybe, if you had the sophisticated equipment you could apply the proper voltage to be able to read the card, assuming you could find the + and - pins on it and then also the transmit pins on it and solder yourself a usb cable to direct connect to it to the computer, that might work but would be extremely complicated. I'm a professional electronics technician and I test, build, and repair boards but not phones. I do surface mount work though. Anyways, got off topic. So unless you got that going for you, I don't see it happening.
One last thought, do you have Motorola drivers installed on your PC? Could help. Don't know.

There are youtube guides out there on how to replace the battery in this phone. It's not easy, but it's probably easier than finding the storage chip and figuring out a way to build a new physical interface to access it. New battery = resurrected phone = get your data back. Maybe.
https://youtu.be/VHFkTgjWzOo
Yeah that's also probably a lot easier than all that. The battery isn't too hard to replace. I totally over thought that.
