Hi guys I got a hd7 from craiglist from some crackhead for 30. Thought it was a good deal. Get home and it acts weird. It turns on flashes htc and cuts back off. It keeps doing this and vibrating while it does it. I can't figure out the issue. I sent it in to htc they wouldn't repair it because of a missing internal sticker or somthing and charged me for not even fixing it! After they told me to go ahead and send it in because it was under warranty. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

can you get into the Bootloader?
power off device -> hold volume down -> power on device
what does the Tri-Color screen say? this is the Bootloader.
power the pull to leave screen.

Hey, I have been given a phone off a friend to fix but it wont turn on. Booting normally, I get a vibration and then the backlight comes on but i cannot see anything. When i try to boot into the bootloader by holding the camera button and powering it on, the backlight comes on but nothing else. I cannot see the bootloader. Under both circumstances, I cannot turn the phone off. I have to pull the battery to turn it off.
Does anyone have any suggestions about a possible fix? Thanks
Havie you tried send when trying to enter bootloader? If it resets then you can still get to bootloader. If not, your friend has soft bricked and only way is to JTAG which takes strong hardware knowledge and steady hands.

ok im having the exact same problem. actually i thought it was a battery problem so i spent 77$ on a 3700 mAh new batter i guess tripple life... and got it yesterday booted gave same problems. black screen where T-Mobile should be yet the rom loads with scribble screen meaning u see part but it looks like the pixels are messed up. so actually decided to resort to what someone told me a Factory Reset so Pressing Camera + Power i got a Black Backlight screen yet wont show... and I cant turn it off without Taking out the Battery this has become a issue after installing cyanogen 5.0.7 T5... since then i Re-rom'd to superbad 1.2.5 same problem screen scribbles and stops im thinking did I fry it i dont even know how to google my problem because its pretty unique it isnt a battery issue its something in the hardware ... or am I wrong please send us some feedback... ill keep this thread in mind
Sorry, what do you mean by 'send'. I am a complete noob when it comes to G1's. I have worked out i can shut off the phone by holding call + menu + end but thats it. I still cannot see anything at all on the screen. I still only get a vibration on boot. How would I know if the boot has been sucessful but i simply cannot see?
Could the flex ribbon cable be nackered?
Has anyone figured out a solution for the faulty power button? It is killing me i can't wake my phone sometimes and now that i have Froyo i get no blue light notification so my reply to peoples text messages are VERY slow.

Modaco-Paul is working on Trackball Wake! http://twitter.com/PaulOBrien/status/14543157295
You should still have light notifications in 2.2. Is yours not working?
I only get White notifications and it doesnt blink as fast and work sometimes
Has anyone worked out exactly why these power buttons are dying? Mine's dead as a doornail too
this is pretty funny to me cuz mine was not working in the morning anyways i THINK it has to do with some dust collecting on it (like the trackball) i blew on it a lil and it started working again also i read somewhere else about a wire that has a 90 degree angle so you might try pushing the power button forward then down
This is certainly the most annoying issue on Nexus one...
I use a combination of "no lock" and "lock 2.0" to enable trackball wake and turning off via home screen. And when I need to reboot I use the "plug-remove battery-replace battery" trick...
If someone has better solutions, we'll be glad to hear them, since it seems that this problem will eventually hit all Nexus one users.
I use fancy widget - In the clock settings, I selected application when clock pressed (lock enabler app). This solves the locking problem without pressing the power.
Use the usual trackball wake as the unlocker.

My situation is:
My Nexus is with non funcioning power on switch.
What is the solution to power on phone after i need to switch battery or Sim Card,
Thank You.
I have the same problem.Is it hardware or software issue?
I used the call Google and get a warranty replacement trick
Seriously, just call and get it replaced under warranty, that's the only real fix. They are aware of the problem. My phone is rooted, I didn't mention that, and they didn't have a problem with it, and I got my replacement within a few days.
Now that they've stopped selling them, it may not be as easy, but worth a try.
This is a serious issue for people outside countries that sell the nexus one.
I live in brazil and I hope this problem doesn't appear to me because it's cheaper to try to fix it than travel to usa.

As mentioned above, for people outside the US, replacement of the device is not an easy task; and even for those who get a replacement, the problem will eventually recur, since it seems obvious now that this is a hardware issue.
As for how to reboot the device: plug it to the charger (usb or main), wait for the orange led to turn on, remove the battery, as soon as the led will turn off replace the battery and the phone will boot.
I've had two bad power buttons, they were a hardware issue replaced under warranty.
Does anyone have any experience of getting a replacement from HTC in Singapore for this power button failure issue?
I bought my phone in the Google Online Store on my last vacations in US, I live in Mexico and call to HTC for the warranty but theres no solution outside US.
I use compressed air in the power button and works a little without the battery cover.

I had exactly the same problem. then i read about it in the nexus one forum and some folks mentioned, that deinstalling the app "advanced task killer" solved their problem. i tried it and now my power button is back to normal and working like a charme!
there is a program in the market to get it to wake from the trackball but I can't remember the name. I had the same problem and had to send it back to HTC and they fixed it for free. They told me there has numerous problems with the wake/power button.
Are ALL N1 fated to have the power button break? I just bought a Nexus One and i wan't to know if i should return it whilst i still can.

Put me in the broken power button club. After going through a few months of the power button acting up, well it finally quit working. The good news is I still have 3 weeks remaining on my 1 year warranty, the bad news is the N1 has an unlocked bootloader. I called HTC last night and they emailed me an overnight shipping label. I chose the repair option instead of replacement. I did not discuss the unlocked bootloader with them. Since this is a hardware issue I can't see why they would deny the repair.
BTW, that is a great link on how to get the phone to turn on, I kept trying all last night to get it to come on by pressing the power button. If they deny the repair I will have them send it back and try one of the alternatives to turning the phone on and off.
I am currently using the Evil desire rom, should I flash back to a stock rom before sending it back.
Thanks.
I had an HD7 that was working. I sold it on ebay and the buyer told me it wasn't working when he received it. He shipped it back and it was broken.
So... now I'm looking to either fix it or sell it to somebody. The phone itself is perfect condition with no scratches. Even has a screen protector.
The issue is that it won't boot up. When you turn it on it just keeps restarting and never gets to the home screen.
I would like to sell it for $150 but if there is a simple fix to the problem I'm willing to try it. I don't know anything about WP7 and I've never done any modding, hacking or whatever it's called.
Any help is much appreciated!
You try a restore?
Plug it in see what happens?
Try this,
Turn the phone off. You might have to pull the battery for a minute.
While holding down both of the volume buttons (up and down) press the power button momemtarily. Continue to to hold the volume buttons until the factory reset screen appears.
Follow the onscreen instructions and you are all set.
Thanks!
That fixed it! Thanks so much for the quick reply. I was about to throw the phone on eBay for $10.
Glad I can help!
Maybe not...
I thought it was fixed. It turns on and I can use it but the battery won't charge. I left it plugged in all night and the battery was still barely charged in the morning. It could be a battery issue but the phone also does weird stuff like rebooting every few minutes while the phone is plugged in to charge.
Did you get that fixed?

I'll take it off your hands...
So recently, my Nexus One's LCD cracked while playing cricket.. BOHOO! So I took it to the repair shop, and he fixed my LCD. YAYY! But the repair guy messed up my power on button. Before it used to be so soft and easy to turn on, but now it only turns on if i press it on a certain spot, which is very ANNOYING! I took it back to him and he didn't really fix anything. I just want to ask you if you know any easy solution to this. No, not the trackball wake. Like would it be easy for me to open my phone up and repair the button myself? Or do you think i'm out of luck?
Thank you

well, sadly; my power button has given up finally.
Can anyone help me out by telling me how i'm supposed to turn my phone off completely. I'm using an app which allows me to turn my screen off and lock the phone, but is there one to provide me options for powering off and booting into recovery, bootloader etc? It's essential because i need to be able to turn my phone off to switch my battery packs, and to install new firmwares. Thanks.
Most importantly, how would i turn on my phone when it's completely turned off, since the power button wouldn't do any good
Try "Quick Boot" to switch 4-ways reboot function.
To turn on your N1, simply connect it to charger, whether it is wall, usb, or powerbank one. When the led lights up, pull your battery. As soon as the led down, insert your battery immediately.
My N1 has been "happily" running that way for months.

My power button is on the fritz now too. Is there someone who fixes this? Can I make a insurance claim?
Hi everyone
I hope you can assist.
I have a stock HTC One X that I have been thinking of installing a custom ROM on but never got around to it.
Two days ago, after I had it plugged into a car charger, it started to act strangely. It would take really long to wake from hibernate. Then after a while the screen would go blank, though the LED on top would still blink. After leaving it charging overnight, it then stopped restarting all together. Now it won't restart even after a hard reset.
When I plug it in via USB, it is detected and I can view the contents of my phone via my computer.
It still will not restart. When I hold down the power key, the three buttons at the bottom flash, the phone vibrates but does not restart.
I can't seem to get into the boot loader either. The screen does not come on, holding down the power and the volume down key does not give me the bootloader menu.
At the moment, my thoughts are:
1. It is possible a hardware problem and the screen is faulty?
2. It is a software problem and re-installing either stock or a custom ROM will fix it.
Please let me know what you think and how best to resolve this.
If I send this to my carrier, I have to wait 4-6 weeks for resolution.
Thanks
Phil
Is the motherboard fried ? Something along the lines.

I am not sure. Is there any way to check this?
At the moment, the phone is plugged in, LED is green (I think indicating it is fully charged), bottom 3 buttons are lit.
Other than that, when I hold down the power key, the bottom three lights blink, but no other response.
When I installed ADB and checked using ADB devices, it reported seeing a device.
Right now, when I press the power button, the bottom three lights switch on and off, almost like its waking up. Seems like this could be a screen issue. But I am not sure.
Ur screens dead bro. If the lights on the bottom are on then the phone is awake but since u for no display then either ur LCD died or the connector loosend. Btw ur in the wrong forum this is the HTC ONE u got the ONE X
