I fell asleep around 11pm last night and my phone was charging, working perfectly. I woke up at 2am and unplugged it since it was fully charged and my screen just went crazy. It is black and white and sort of flashing. I can hear if I get phone calls or text messages but I can't see anything. I tried taking the battery out and waiting for a while before putting it back in but that didn't work. Idk what to do. Please help! Thanks so much in advance.
Did you load any new software or anything onto your phone yesterday? I'd take it to wherever you got it from if a battery pull doesn't do anything.

i have a at&t tilt that i had for about a year and is out of its warranty. recently, it started to turn off at the windows 6.1 screen or even get stuck at the at&t screen then turn off. yesterday i managed to get passed the at&t screen and get to windows mobile 6.1 screen and it said clearing storage and luckily it finished. last time it was clearing storage it made a beep beep beep then turned off. now after it finished i configured the screen and the battery read full but every 30 seconds it would go beep beep beep and turn off. so i read in this forum that maybe a rom update would work so i updated the rom using the original at&t rom from htc.com. the update completed successfully but now it has the same problem of getting stuck on the at&t screen and turn off at clearing storage. now i know there is no problem with the battery because it charges with a orange light but i guess the battery is not getting the energy. i tried 3 different charges even the computer . the light stays orange. i love this phone and i really need to know how to fix this.
I think you're overlooking the obvious, that your battery is almost dead, and giving a false reading in wm. Just because it's showing the orange light and "charging" doesn't mean it is holding it's charge.
If the rom used to be fine, and now, even after a hard reset it seems to be screwing up, then it's going to be a hardware issue. I'd put good odds on that battery though.
Ok thats exactly the problem
Today i took out the battery for 2 hours then put the phone it charge with out battery and put it in and closed the case. Then i left it to charge for about 1 hour and a half and the light turned yellowish greenish however it is still a false reading of 100% what does that mean
Update
After i took it out of charge i was happy to find that it worked with a green light of charge and 100%(i dint know this was a false reading) so i started to set up everything for 20 min and suddenly beep beep beep then turns off. Did i gain any progress? But i know that it sayed a way longer time on so how long shuld i leave it on charge for and accurate reading?
Batteries get old -- order a new battery and give that a try.
Battery is toast... buy a new one like i said. Buy from a shop and take it back if it doesn't solve the problem.
Thanks
Thanks to both ill buy a new battery and post back to tell u what happened
Howdy,
So I flashed my phone to cm4.2 last weekend and everything has been quite dandy. But I now I have a problem, and I kind of doubt its from the cmod because that was a week ago and this problem happened yesterday...
Yesterday I was talking on the phone until the battery died. Then I rushed to my charger and plugged it in. I tried to turn it back on but it would not. It goes to the G1 screen then to the CM boot animation screen then the screen turns BLACK! IT will not stop doing this. I have to keep pulling out the battery. Last night I even pulled out the SIM and battery for a few minutes. Then put them back and tried again. Same result. I charged it fully last night (while off) thinking that might help. This morning after the LED light was green I tried again to reboot the phone.. Also sometimes the phone will do this reboot sequence after I plug the charger in, but it still goes to the blank/black screen... awww..
I am really hoping I do not have to wipe the phone and start over again with my apps and stuff because I have not really found a great free backuper and have not backed up within the last few days. I can use home+end call button to get to the bootloader (right name?) screen. However I am REALLY hoping I do not have to wipe.
Any solutions? I tried searching but could not find an answer..
THANKS!! This is basically terrible timing too because I leave on vacation tomorrow morning and will be needing my phone.
I have this installed [ROM] CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC1 for Hero CDMA
I was running wifi tethering and installing a game called chess.
I heard my phone vibrate quickly and the screen was black. I tried to turn it back on. But nothing. So I removed the battery and waited a couple minutes. I cant get it to come on.
So I plugged it into a charger and the red/orange LED is on as if it is charging.
The phone will not even attempt to start up
Any ideas?

Phone just seems dead to me... probably just needs to charge for an hour or so
If it's not charge up and running by now, you'll need a new battery.
Thanksgiving day I had my phone on but was doing things around the house and when I went to check my phone it wouldn't wake. Holding down the power button, nothing, it was dead. I know the battery wasn't drained. So I plugged it into my USB and the light didn't turn on either. I sat staring at the phone for a few seconds to troubleshoot and it suddenly began to boot up and after everything loaded I could confirm it was half charged.
I'm running the same version of Cyanogen as you. Are you using the original battery or 3rd party? Mine is 3rd party.
Have you had other strange occurrences leading up to this? Twice in a week I woke up to find my phone on even though I know I shut it down the night before and not accidentally rebooted.
Since I was able to get my phone to boot back from temporary dead the phone has frozen twice while texting. I didn't battery pull or anything, it just rebooted by itself after a few minutes. I plan on switching back to my old battery to see what happens.
This is completely undiscovered territory for me, as I have been over and under the forums looking for a solution....
Here's the problem as it happened:
Every night around 10pm, I plug my phone in to charge, which I did the previous night. Normally, my schedule has me up and leaving the house at 4:30am except on weekends which I am normally up by 6am.
Friday night at 10pm, I plugged the phone in to charge as usual. The next morning I unplugged and checked the phone as usual and everything seemed fine.
I had left the phone to sit unattended for some time while I got ready to go out for the day, then grabbed my phone, put it in the holdster and left.
My day was quite busy and I never checked my phone for the first 2 hours after leaving the house. When I did it was unresponsive, so I did the customary reset and nothing.
I assumed a dead battery so I just waited until I was back in the car. When I plugged it in, I saw the red light and, assuming the battery was just dead I left it.
The phone has done nothing else since... just the red light.
I'm assuming this phone might be a goner but I wanted to put my feelers out. I have not tried MTTY yet and I'm assuming it probably won't work anyway.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm using a well-used and worn out Kaiser (my back-up) right now, same rom/radio/kernel/etc. to see if I can replicate what happened... (I know, flirting with disaster).
Apparently I didn't look hard enough because I found the thread for the RLoD and followed the instructions.
Charger connected, back panel off, battery out.
Hold power button and rapidly connect/disconnect battery from terminals by holding at an angle (may take up to 100 times to get it).
Red light goes out, green light flashes, phone boots.
BUT!...
Test the phone before you take it for the day.
I was unfortunate enough to not realize that the phone hadn't charged overnight and reset the battery counter to 80% at 3.6 volts.
I was lucky enough to grab a databackup.img and copy everything to the spare phone.
maybe there's a problem with the connection in the usb port.
I can't get my phone to turn on (or at least stay on).
Last night I plugged it in before going to bed, just like I always do. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. This morning, however, when I woke up, it was off (even though I had left it on) and I couldn't get it to turn on at all. I didn't have time to examine it much before going off to school so I just took it with me (despite its apparent uselessness) and it never turned on. Now that I'm home I am able to look at it more in depth, but I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.
Every time I plug it in to charge, the LED light comes on for about 2 or 3 seconds, and then turns off again, I'm not sure if that means anything. On two occasions now, I've been able to turn the phone on to the point where it shows the HTC logo, but that lasts for a second or so and then it shuts off again. I haven't been able to get it past that point.
I haven't gone through any changes with the phone as of recently. I haven't even installed any new apps or anything for awhile now. I really don't know what would have triggered this sort of behavior. It just seemed to happen for no reason overnight.
Any ideas and/or help would be much appreciated.

You should have read more before flashing clockworkmod...
You need another battery... And twrp or wcx recovery...
Flash either recovery... Except cwm... Then put your battery back in and voila... It charges...
