HELP! My phone died and now won't do anything when it's plugged in

Okay so I rooted my HTC Vivid, S-Off, etc and it's been fine for 2 weeks. I'v elet it die all the way before and never gave me any trouble turning back on. I let it die lastnight, and i forgot to plug it in while at work today so when I got home it was dead, as I expected. I plugged it in while i took my dog out and when I came back, it won't do anything. I didn't pay attention before to see if the charge light came on (i was in a hurry). the charge light now comes on a for a couple seconds and then goes off, and CWM recovery screen comes up. I held the power button down and then the HTC screen came up and hasn't gone beyond that. It's plugged in and I don;t see the charge light at all. What could have happened? Please help me

I would pull the batt then plug it in and see if the charge icon comes on if so let it set about ten min then turn it on

Try a new battery. I have seen a lot of posts from people who let the battery die and it was never able to charge again. That is not normal behavior for a battery, it is defective. Several people have gotten new batteries by taking them in for warranty service. If you don't feel you can do that, Amazon has many batteries that work fine.
Until I get a spare battery, I will not let mine go to zero. I plug it in before it gets below 2%.

[Q] HTC Vivid won't charge or turn on

As the title says, my HTC Vivid won't turn on, charge or anything. The orange light that says it's charging doesn't turn on, buttons don't vibrate or anything. It shouldn't be bricked because I haven't done anything to brick it. I was using Xbox Smartglass on it, I locked the phone and went back to my game, about 15 minutes later I tried to unlock it and it did nothing. The battery shouldn't have been dead because I charged it the night before. Any suggestions or help please?

LOL The reason I got a Vivid is because he gave it to me. Sadly, I was hoping there would be a technical solution instead of trying a new battery. I've got one ordered though. :/

Some have bad batteries.
Mine started doing the same thing. For a while I thought the battery life on Vivid was horrible compared to the Aria I had at the time. Then it progressed and one day finally quit completely and would not take a charge from any charger I had. So, being a techhead I decided to probe the battery with a multimeter and it showed very little voltage, so low I guess the charger wouldn't even recognize or try to charge it.
So what I did was take a battery charger I had for a walkie talkie radio and touched the leads to the battery for 3-5 seconds or so, put battery back in phone and it would then charge. I did this a few times until I could get to ATT store and the guy ordered a new one through warranty. Haven't had a problem with the Vivid since.

Same Problem
Last night I pulled my battery at 21% after shutting the phone off to clear the memory. I put the battery back in and put it on the charger, I tried to turn the phone on and nothing. It is not showing that it is charging. I have four batteries for this phone and none of them will turn on the phone. I am at a loss here. The phone was working fine until i shut it down and removed the battery. Any ideas on what is causing this or any way to force it to turn on.

That sounds like a royal pain.
Could it be the changer or its USB cable? Work some contact cleaner into the power button?

I'm having this same issue. I'm not sure if it's the battery, since the phone boots to bootloader just fine. But the battery won't charge when the phone is off (red light comes on for a second, then quits) and I can't get past the HTC screen booting to ROM or recovery. Where is a good place to buy a battery?

Even if the power button was bad the phone should still charge a battery. I have a charger that will charge the batteries without the phone so I know the batteries are charged. I have several different chargers and none of them will show the phone charging. I even tried connecting it to my computer. The phone is dead, I guess I am going to have to crack it open and see if anything has come loose inside. I really like this phone and am going to hate loosing it. I paid a lot for this phone. That shinny penny I paid to get this phone was my favorite.

Have you tried plugging the phone USB into a desktop and using that to try rebooting the phone into bootloader or recovery?
Hasoon2000's Vivid All-In-One Toolkit in the dev section can do that pretty simply. i used an earlier version of that to unlock the phone a year and a half ago.
i don't remember if the phone has to have debugging turned on for the desktop to feed it commands.
Even if this works i dunno whatall it'll prove.
i like this phone too a lot, and am sorry yours seem to be having hardware problems.

That sounds like you lost your boot image... try flashing a new one that you know works... and if it won't charge with power off... sounds like you have CWM installed... switch to twrp...

The phone does not turn on at all so getting to the bootloader is impossible. It does nothing. Does not even charge a battery. .

That's the definition of a bricked phone, was what i meant. No screen, no led, no button function, no sign of life, and from no explicable cause.
Android phones don't have real on-off switches that directly disconnects the phone from power. Its failure to manifest signs of life doesn't absolutely indicate irreversible hardware failure. There's a bit of a chance it's firmware.
Aside from the power button, Android phones can be controlled thru the USB port.

I took your advise and plugged the phone into the computer and left it over night. This morning I rebooted the computer and the phone screen lit up. I got all excited and tried to use adb to reboot into bootloader, Of course the phone was not found. I took the phone off the cord and the screen shut off. I pushed the power button and the screen lit up. Let go of the power button and the screen goes off. I tried another usb cord and now the screen no longer lites up. Maybe there is hope for this phone.

If the screen lights up like that... there is power to it...
Sounds like you have dirt in your power button... or the button isn't making contact...
Time to disassemble and check the power button...

Yeah, that part where the phone was seen by the desktop, and then not, can have something to do with the Windows drivers. Most of the folks on these forums know what's with this stuff better than me; i usually have to tell windows to stop the hardware, disconnect and reconnect the phone USB and start the connection up again, every time before i do one set of commands, like put the phone into bootloader and download a kernel image into it.
There's a Vivid unbricking project over in the dev subforum, you must've seen that. Whether or not you get your phone working again, i hope it'll be a productive journey for you.
i was perfectly happy just messing with apps until i bricked my tablet; that got me into all this device unlocking and rom burning and fun stuff. It's too bad the Vivid isn't simpler to hack.

my phone cant boot to desktop after i flash the kanel
my phone cant boot to desktop after i flash the kanel please can you help me

9 times out of 10, if the phone will not turn on at all it is the battery. For some reason, the Vivid will occasionally stop seeing the battery. I have fixed this on mine when that happened by using an external charger. That worked because my battery was actually OK, the Vivid just wouldn't charge it or even see it. Once it was charged it was fine. If your battery really is dead (sounds like it might be the case), get a new battery. There is a 2000 mHr battery on Amazon that is not too much worse than the original (when new).

I had the same issue once, it turns out that I fixed it using a external charger

[Q] HTC One frozen - black screen & not responding

Hi guys,
So as the title states, I have an issue with my HTC One having frozen - before anything else, I understand that this is a developers forum, and although I have am still using the stock software and have not rooted my device, I'm hoping that some of you will be able to help me with this!
Yesterday at about 7pm, I opened the Gmail app, which froze, and tried to resolve this by opening the task manager to close the app, which subsequently froze, and then I tried pressing the power button twice to refresh the display - and this is how I am stuck on the black screen. In addition to this, no lights flash when holding the power button, and the device won't take a charge (the LED doesn't light up)
I quickly searched the net to find methods of trying to unfreeze the device - namely doing a soft reset for 30 seconds, a soft reset under a bright light (to overwhelm the sensor) for 30 seconds, holding the power button for 20 seconds, unplugged and plugged into the mains. It was also recommended to me to leave the phone on mains for 10 minutes, and then press the power, volume up and volume down buttons for 2 minutes - but this had no effect.
I have had the device for about 6 months, and this is the first time I've had any problem at all with it.
My options are to send it in for repair, or to leave it for a few days to drain any remaining charge, and then attempt to turn it back on.
I was hoping that some of you might be able to recommend any methods that I have not yet tried, or might be able to estimate roughly how long it will take for the device to drain?
I'm sorry if this post is mainly a repeat of what has been posted before, but in all of the cases that I found, people were still able to access the soft reset menus (of which I am unable)
Thank you for any help you can offer!

I have the same problem, but I was on a custo ROM (CM11).
Nothing that I have tried works, and I also hope the someone can tell us how to solve this...

Oh no, that's not good! How long has your device been affected?
I suppose that the main problem is that the warranty is now void on yours? I can't imagine it being a cheap repair :/

Since 3 days, so I'm still hoping that when the battery drains completely, it will turn off and then boot normally.
If it is a hardware problem, I hope that it will be hard enough to repair for the technical service to give me a new unit

Yeah, I tried doing that for 2 minutes (as advised by HTC Support) yesterday and Thursday - although I've not done anything with the phone today, as I'm hoping leaving it to discharge will have an effect!

Same here. 15seconds, 2 minutes, one hour... there's no hard reboot.
Also plugging ad unplugging, taking out the SIM card... anything happens.
My battery was nerly full so maybe it will take one week to discharge

Whilst I'm unsure as the whether the device will have actually charged while frozen, if it has charged, it will probably take a long time to discharge.
Thankfully, mine was only on about 25% when it froze - so here's hoping I'll have a result by Monday...

does the computer even recognize the phone when you plug it in ?

No, it doesn't. I have also tried installing a RUU but it's not possible. The phone seems to be completely dead. I hope it is just a deep coma from which it can be recovered.

That's the problem I'm having - I don't actually know if the device is on or off! It makes sense that if it's not responding in anyway, then the device is still on and frozen, or it could be the implication of a hardware fault, maybe blown motherboard or something.

Yes, and for me that would be an absolut mess, cause I had very important data stored on the phone...
And if you send the phone to repair they always make a factory reset and delete everything in your phone.

I had this issue on my One X and my fix was leaving it on the charger for about 6 hours and unplugging it and holding the power button for a full two minutes.

Thanks, but first I will try to leave the battery fully discharge. If I charge the phone and it doesn't work, then I will have to wait one week for it to drain completely again.

Hold it under a very bright light or point a flas hled to the sensor and hold power and volume down for a couple seconds

Battery Death

Hello,
Well, My XT1069 just died last night, 01/22/2016, it's simply dead. no display, no charging, no led blink, nothing.
I was watching stream on twitch.tv, And then he fell asleep, the phone continued to operate the rest of the night and discharged to zero percent.
It is known that state when the battery dies, and is at zero percent, unable to load. this has happened to me 2 or 3 times .. and after some minutes charging, and some secs holding power button, it came back to life..
but this time does not happen anything.
believe me, I have researched a lot in various forums, I've tried holding the power button, voldown, hold on for 18sec, 2min and 5min up, nothing works.
I saw on some pages to leave the device in the charger for 24 hours could perhaps resurrects it. it is in the charger since 01/23/2016 6 am, with a few breaks when I retire and try something new. only a matter of minutes
in short: my phone died, no sign of life.
I would please ask if anyone here had this critical case like mine, and also ask if anyone has any tips I can test to try to bring my cell phone back to life. Thank you very much in advance.
I apologize for the English, I am Brazilian. most of it is google translator

Anyone?
Cell still on charger, but probably nothing is going to happen :/

1)Try flashing twrp after that wipe your phone through twrp and then repair system files and reboot.
This will only work if your battery's not dead.
2) about installing twrp search on xda for your device download it , connect the datacable with your computer and then press power+volume up go in download mode flash the recovery through odin
Or if you dont have root try this

As far as i'm concerned it needs a spark(i dont know the exact word for it). it happens when the battery goes completely into discharged state with no spark left in it. It kind of means when your battery is left with no electrons to pass on the current to the battery. so go reach some mobile repairing shop and as them to spark your battery. they have some kind of rod or something with with they will spark the battery and then charge it with a high output. then see if it works or not. if not then your battery is probably dead and you need it to be replaced. its easier for usual phones. but since your's a MOTO G. it has a un-removable back cover. so it'll cost you a bit. hope it helps. :victory:

Thank you very much for the answer.
I've seen elsewhere people talking about that this spark, and in this case, some talked about trying to use a charger Apple Ipad 2.1 Amps, My original motoG charger is only 0.85 amps, so I think maybe an Apple is a good attempt to bring him back .. However, I do not know anyone who has one
At this time, I will have to wait until day 02/11/2016 until I can go into a technical assistance ..
Anyway, enormously grateful to you for the answer

Happy to help. ???? it does the same thing. The apple 2.1 amps may get your battery that spark. But since that spark thing gives your battery a charge of over 2.5 amps i guess. But the charger may help you as well.
And good luck with the battery. :fingers-crossed:

XT1097 turning off when the battery is less than 30%

My Moto X 2014 works perfectly, all of its features.
Only one thing is bothering me when the battery is less than 30% cell turns off and when religo it shows that it has more than 20% battery but when it finishes the boot turns off again.
Someone has gone or is going through this problem?
My phone is with the original ROM, unlocked bootloader and custom kernel to be able to root.

I had a similar problem on my XT1096 but the threshold was more like 20%. It would hit between 20%-15% and just turn off. I actually got Motorola to replace it under warranty cause I thought it was a battery problem. My replacement has done it once already. I never figured out what the problem was. A factory reset made it go away for about a month. Then it started happening again pretty regularly. That's when Motorola replaced it.

Thanks for your reply, awaiting more comments/solutions.

Yeah, mine did this @ 12-9% threshold... which really wasn't too bad, but not reliable for general day to day use. You can try calibrating the battery [Google: Calibrate your battery], and seeing if that helps. It didn't for me. Long story short; i went to ebay and bought a broken Moto X 2014 for $30 and i swapped it's battery in my original. I bought many "authentic" batteries on ebay and guess what, they were fakes and never worked. If you chose to go this route, the MOTO X is pretty difficult to open properly without ruining the back. I bought an additional wooden back from China via Ebay. I no longer have this problem, the phone gets to 1-2% before it dies now; which is much more reliable for my use.

I tried this and it actually made it worse. My phone would consistently shut off at around 30% (oh, and I can get MAYBE 5-6 hours out of it before it shuts off, so I can never go anywhere without charging cords, VERY annoying!!), so I tried this. For one, the phone shuts but doesn't restart when I am holding the power button during the BU animation, it just shuts off and no matter how long I hold the power button, it doesn't restart. One of the times I did it, I DID get a green LED shining inside the slot at the top which serves as the earpiece for the phone. That time I had to hold the button a LONG time for it to restart. The end result of all of this is now my phone shuts off at around 40%!

Try downloading ampere app and seeing the health of your battery

This is definitely battery problem my friend...nothing can be done except replace battery ...my entire state doesn't have a good customer care to replace this sh#t battery and now am going to change this stupid phone ..am done charging all the day and sudden turn off s too..
