not good!! I'm traveling on business and the phone just shut off! When I tried to power it back on it went to the touch diamond logo but then it shuts back off. I can't take it anywhere local since I'm in USA and bought it new from eBay.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
did you check battery is seated properly, and has charge? what changes have you made recently? maybe a hard reset may work but you can loose data. more info leading up to this point would help us, wich will help you.
try these
1- remove the battery and put it back again after 10 min
or
2- plug it with your computer USB then tern it on
or
3- do hard reset
if your problem not solved then you need to bay a new battrey
#2 solved it! Hooked it up to my PC via USB and it powered up after about 10 minutes. The battery was completely dead, even though it said it had roughly 75% of charge. For some reason my home/car charger must be bogus (even though they are HTC branded).
Thanks so much for the quick reply's everyone, you really saved my a** miles away from home!!

I had a similar problem. My phone would restart all of a sudden and then show me a 50% loss in battery charge, even though the battery had over 75% before it restarted. A few minutes later the phone would turn off and the battery completely dead. This happened a few times, I hope you don't run into the same trouble.
I sent mine back on warranty for repairs, I hope they can fix it.

What the heck is going on?
I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with the ROM, because it did this with the factory ROM, Manila 2d and now WM6.5.
I turned the phone off, unplugged it, removed the battery. I put the battery back in, replace the cover and press the power button. Nothing happens. I plug the phone back in to the wall charger and put power, it turns on....for about 3 seconds then reboots and it would seem that it will do this for as long as I let it go. If I unplug the phone while this is going on, it will die.
The last time this happened, it took it about a day and a half to sort itself out. It almost seems like its a battery issue.
Any thoughts or ideas?
UPDATE!
I took the sim card out of the phone for a few seconds and the phone seems to be working now.... But its been up and running for about 20 minute now with no sings of acting up.

tried to charge the pda all night the light stayed orange and never turned green indicating full charge. tried hard reset and when it goes in to prepare rom it shuts off like dead battery. when i plug in the pda to charge battery and then turn on the phone it freezes on splash screen. if i turn on phone then plug in to charge it acts like i havn't pluged in charger. is it the pda or battery?
I am not 100% sure on this, but to me it sounds like the battery.. and that is a MUICH cheaper option to test out... unfortunatly you ahveto wait for shippng typicalyl unless you have a friend who has the same phone.. I got 2 backups and a stand alone charger now... The other option could be your USB port... I have not heard this specific problem with them.... but I am a PC tech and have seen very simmilar problems with laptops... Usually the first think to for is the power port... Just like out phone, if the device is not on a flat surface and such when it is plugging it, it tweaks the port and it eventualyl breaks... on laptops it is not uncommon that when plugged in, the LEF wil light up saying it is getting power to charge, but it enver charges the battery, and even sometimes can;t power up the full system.. .It sort of sounds like this is what you phone is doing as well.. .If that is the problem the stand alone charger would work (my son broke off his usb all together and now syncs via bluetooth and jsut changes batteries.. he has 3 himself as well) If you search online, you can usualyl find a kti with a battery or 2 and a charger/dockign station for under $20US total. Good luck!

tried bootloader and installed official att rom and never shut off. when it was finished with install same issues appeared. help
For anyone facing this issue I would not recommend wasting money on a new battery as this issue has been around with few users since the Kaiser "Tilt" first came out and I've never seen ANY reports that a new battery fixes this. People have bought new batteries, fully charged their battery from a docking station, tried their friends fully charged battery all with the same result. I had this power down issue a Looong time ago my first week in with the Kaiser and managed a fix and am using the same battery now. Although it seems the battery is not being fully charged it's important to leave it charging until you'd assume it's fully charged and get into bootloader mode and flash an official htc Tytn 2 rom. It should flash completely, and the fact that it does not die immediately as on normal boot indicates it is not the battery but the rom. It did take me the whole afternoon of Flashing, recharging and repeating before it finally kicked in. Also, from reading older posts, it seems most if not all users like myself fixed this by flashing the older official htc wm 6.0; worth a shot at least.

Yup, that is what I had to today (I hard reset, actually), with barely enough battery life to do this.
Then the bloody unit came up and was charging - amazing, really!
(Was using the official HTC 6.1 upgraded WindowsMobile OS)
here is my 2 cents....
I owned five Tilts, replaced four of them with warranty issues ... so i have faced this dilemma on at least two of them.
First see if the USB tongue is loose. To do this try to gently tap it with the stylus. If the tongue inside the USB port is loose then you will be facing rebooting and other issues and troubles in the future. The USB tongue gets used and jerked every time you connect your device to your PC or wired headset. If you are still under warranty and the USB connector tongue is loose I recommend returning the phone ( if you still can) and getting a replacement. There is no easy fix for a loose USB connection tongue as i have taken one apart and it is very difficult to repair or replace and very easy to mess it up further.
So, my advice to all Kaiser owners... be careful when plugging and unplugging your phones through the USB. Do it gently as the connectors are very fragile.
For those that have the above issues, I recommend using a separate battery charger tray, avoid plugging the USB as much as you can, and if you must, then administer extra care. The rebooting will stop if you plug the USB cable to the device and move it up and down a hair then holding steady. And most likely you will not get a full charge or even a partial charge. The biggest culprit to this problem is car chargers, and second, is inserting the stylus by mistake (when it is dark and hard to see) in the USB port instead of the Reset hole by accident.
HTC One won't charge or turn on. I was just sitting around setting up my new computer, and I checked my phone and it was at 1%. I figured I could just let it run out because I wasn't using it. Later, when I went to charge it, I noticed that no LED light was showing up when I tried to charge it. I tried plugging it into the computer, and the computer would make the sounds it makes when a USB is plugged in. When I tried turning it on from there, the computer sounds went back and forth with several seconds in between each beep. There was still no LED light, and I have tried to use the "volume button- power button" booting method but it hasn't worked. I also tried charging it overnight and when I got up in the morning there was still no LED light and nothing else was working. The phone is not rooted, but it did have water damage over a month ago. I put the phone into DampRid for a few nights and my phone was back to normal. I have not encountered any other problems since then, and now my phone will not boot. Any suggestions? Anything I can do?

The only thin that comes to my mind is to change the wall charger or the USB itself and see if they're broken or whatever else....

Leave it plugged in for at least a day. I've seen all sorts of batteries magically come back to life after being fully discharged

Your pins connection may be broken and they only get energy when the charger is plugged in a particular way, I don't know what to think about...

I decided to put the phone back into the DampRid to see if there was any excess that was left inside of the phone. I pulled it out just before and and saw that I left a little bit in there so I'll leave it in there for a few days. Then, I'm going to try plugging the charger in in different ways and see what happens. Im also gonna try plugging it in for a whole day and see what happens.

I would suggest waiting for a day or two. Let your device cool down and take it out of it's case if it has one. My HTC One was fine after I let it take a break for a day. I put it in DampRid, but letting it cool down for a day really helped. Letting your battery die is something you should NEVER do because it just happened again to me. I'm going to let it rest for a day and let you know what happens. Hopefully it works.
The tablet is dead, it was suddenly. Won't charge or turn on and it's not recognised by the PC. Recovery mode (power button + volume-) doesn't work either.
I know that is not the screen, because the PC doesn't detect the tablet at all. I tried with another battery (my wife has the same tablet), but I had no luck. I also know that the charger and the usb cable are fine.
What else I can do, any ideas or suggestions?

I had the same symptoms after disconnecting and reconnecting battery,I hed to disconnect it for like an hour and then three times try to power on the tablet and it did power on. Maybe your battery is dead so after another hour you may try to use the other battery. If it will work, try to connect the batteries together so the dead one can get a little charge (but do some research I am not sure if it won't have a chance to damage anything) then the same after an hour connect try power on and if it powers on immediately give it a charge.

Just wondered if you had tried this and if so, how you got on? Asking because I bought my daughter one off ebay and it was working fine when I got it, am sure I recharged it once , she played it and then again in morning and thinks she played it till battery ran out. I have since tried charging via pc and mains power, and have disconnected battery twice (case was v. easy to remove so concerned this fault may be reason it was sold), but cannot get a flicker of a response on screen. i got my daughter this as she was desperate for an android tablet for mods for minecraft as I had bought her a Amazon Fire 7 and from what I could see just after xmas, it wasnt possible to root it or sideload at that time, and she said Amazon had no mods compared to the play store and she had been ecstatic with the mods she had found for her android for the short time she had it. I do know when I plug it into the wall charger that the motherboard area gets warm if its been plugged in for a while? Bit of a noob on this stuff,and off sick with probs with my nervous system so my concentration and memory can be a pia. Anyway I was wondering how I can find out if its goosed or what I can try? One of the batterys advertised on ebay is about £50 which seems steep to me, esp. if it doesnt fix it, and esp since I have been unable to work for a few years cos of this illness. I only bought the tablets cos I had extra money after I finally applied and got pip, and got it backdated. Any recommendations for a reasonably priced option for her for her minecraft? Should I go the tablet\notebook type route or can they not handle minecraft? Bit confused by these new notebooks esp touchscreen ones as new ones seem to have small amounts of ram yet are v. popular.
Thanks for advice\thoughts\feedback and let me know if I should start ,y own thread...I only jumped on this to see how he got on and then as I do nowadays with this illness, I then jumped from topic to topic that jumped into my head x sorry x

Firt I would try to trickle charge the battery.
BEFORE YOU DO THIS:
Remove the SD CARD. I forgot to do this and snapped my card straight in half removing the back cover.
This started happening to my ME176 as well but of course not until after I retired it and gave it to my mom.
I would start by letting it sit on the charger for about 30 minutes (since we don't know the current charge state and if the overcharge block is functioning). This will give it a slight charge if dead.
Disconnect charger and remove the back cover and disconnect the battery (as posted earlier). Push and hold the power button a few times even though there is no power.
It may take a few tries of disconnecting and reconnecting the battery before it decides to power up, so keep the cover off while doing this.
Hi Guys,
I have owned an HP Touchpad for around 7 years, and totally loved it. Sadly I've not used it in about 6x months to a year solid. Now it wont turn on at all, Ive tried charging via the official wall charger, via a mobile charger, via PC USB (trickle charge) and tried all the various key combo's, nothing, totally dead. This happened once before, and took some effort to get back to life, but it did and was fine for many months after.
I asked my mate, and he said just throw it away... If I've let it drain beyond the safety level, then there is a chance it could go BANG... I've read various other threads/forums, other than here also.... and although some have attempted to revive the battery. Lots warned about doing it outside, as there is a risk it could go bang and catch fire!!!!
So, whats the verdict guy?? Have any of you had a Touchpad that is beyond booting, no display on the screen at all, no symbols and even the Home button isn't even lighting up or flashing. There is no life in it what so ever...
Dangerously, before reading more about it... I had left the Touchpad on original charger for best part of a week, about 4 or 5 days continually charging. The wall charger not even warm, yet if I use it on my Android phones, it works just fine.
I've left it on PC USB charge for over day, and still nowt....
Sounds like its dead, anyone else got lucky from this point? Would charging it any further risk of blowing, or are their surge protection in the Touchpads design to prevent this???
Are their any other Android Tablets that allow dual booting of say Linux as well as Android....?
Cheers, Lister
There has been success when TP owners have connected the TP to a low power phone charger and left it going overnight/all day. This 'gently' charges the system sneaking past any system blocks and allows the thing to charge to be able to boot. Once booted stick the proper charger on it.
Hi MikeN68,
Thanks for replying back, much appreciated... Do you have a TP too?? Has this happened to you...?
It happened to me about a year ago, but I was able to boot the thing back into life after a long charge. But all the time it wasnt booting back then, I still had a flashing light on the Home button. However this time I get no light on the button at all or any symbols on the screen.
Ive had the TP on the original charger since Sat / Sun through to like Wednesday... and nowt!!! Then I've had it on a low charger for a few hours, and on a PC USB socket for a couple of days... and tried a couple of USB cables and nowt there!!!
May give it the low volt phone charger again, and hope.... Really hoping I can make it live again, as looking for a replacement cheap Tablet that can support many roms and there really isn't anything else out there...
Thanks again...

Hmm. OK, have a look over at the webosnations forum I've included the URL but not sure if that will get deleted or not, so "revived-touchpad-my-story-full-instructions" is the title of the post in the Touchpad forum.

Good luck and no, I've been fortunate enough that my TP's have behaved themselves.

I've never heard of a TouchPad battery blowing up. However, as with any Lithium Ion battery, there is always the risk. I've read of folks leaving their TP plugged in for months before it finally started charging again. As you can see by the other posts, their are as many ideas as there are people to post them. One never knows which will be the magic trick. But unless you can get some life back into it, none of the suggested tricks will work. Good luck,
NT
