Hi all,
I've been scouring forums all over the place looking for solutions to this issue I have been having with my sprint HTC one. Last night I plugged my phone in to charge but the battery symbol didn't change to indicate it was charging. There was a notification at the top of the screen saying that it was in "usb host mode" so I restarted my phone thinking that that would work. When it restarted the notification had disappeared, but it still wasn't charging. When I googled my issue the solution that most people suggested was to plug the phone in for 10 minutes, then hold the power and volume buttons down for at least 2 minutes. I tried doing that a couple times but none of them were successful. All the phone did was keep restarting. Now my phone is completely out of battery. I have it plugged in to the wall and it flashes the red led light and displays the charging symbol in the center of the screen for a bit, then changes to an animation of a battery gradually being filled. Then the screen will go black for a few seconds and then repeats the cycle and displays the symbol again.
Does anyone know of any fixes for this issue? I do not think I will be able to get sprint or htc to replace it since I loaded a custom rom on it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like my Tytn II might be bricked... I have searched and searched and can not find any info on this. The phone will not turn on. I know the battery is dead, but it should have the power to try to boot. In fact, I have not used it in a while and I just tryed to boot it, it got to the starting screen, then the windows loading screen, and then I walked away for a few minutes and came back it and it was a black screen. Tried to turn on again and it did not power up. Upon plugging it into the charger, I get a solid red light on the top. When I remove the battery from the phone as the charger is connected the LED immediately changes to solid orange, and the blue led next to it comes on as well. When I disconnect the charger all the LEDs go off (obviously because theres no battery) and when i put the battery back in the phone i get a dim red light.
is the phone bricked? im thinking it might have slight water damage but it has been like 2 weeks since then so it should have dryed up i assume. tried to reset a few times with the little reset button next to the charger port, nothing. is it possible the battery may just be done for? any help or suggestions would be great. thanks.
I had that isue but i just leaved the phone on charger and everything came back to normal It's still working very well. But, i cant remember how i get into that situation but i surely know that i saw red light on top .
thanks, now that its been on the charger for a while i now get an orange LED. i will let it charge for a while and see if it awakens after almost 3 weeks of utter deadness.
Try waking it while on charge itslef.
Regards.

just tried and it got to the very first boot screen and then went black and the orange and blue LEDs stayed on. tried to reset, no luck. unplugged charger, still LEDs stayed on. so then I took the battery out, all LEDs went out, plugged it back in and now i get the same red LED again.
update: now i get a orange LED as its plugged into the charger, but when i try to turn it on it gives the first boot screen for like 3 or 4 seconds then turns off...
I am getting exactly the same problem?
I tried to install android - got it working, came on a few times - then just totally died - It showt he HTC boot logo, but then just turns off.
Does anyone have any ideas.
does your computer see it when plugged in via usb?
perhaps this will help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358136
oh and also you have tried to enter the bootloader mode right?
I've had this issue, millions of times. What I do when I have problems like this (and problems like when I turn it on, it says the battery is low when it isnt, and when you connect your charger/USB, it dies on you)
Try removing and putting the battery back on.
so in simple words
charge the battery first (dont bother trying to turn it on)
and then remove the charger (this plays a big role)
take out the battery, put it back in, hope it works.
The same thing just happened to me, I thought it was toast. I would get the red light when I plugged into the charger, and after a few minutes it would turn to orange. I tried to turn it on then, and it would start to boot up, then shut off a few seconds later. This happened a few times. I just left it plugged in overnight, and when I woke up it was on! Only problem I've noticed is the orange LED is always on, but I can live with that
I have a new Motorola Atrix HD. I was using it and the screen went black. i hit the power button to unlock but nothing happened. i plugged it in but nothing happened. i took the back off to see if the battery was disconnected. I didn't know the battery was different than other phones and ripped the power cord connecting the battery to the phone when i took it out. lesson learned. Ordered a new battery and installed correctly. phone won't turn on. The green charge light blinks when i plug it into the wall and then stays on for about 20 seconds and then the phone tries to turn on but while the motorola icon is illuminated, it cuts back out and repeats the cycle. I left it plugged in for a couple hours and still the same thing. i tried holding in power and volume buttons for the boot screen. if i do that just as the phone attempts to turn on i can get the screen up and scroll the list of boot options with the power buttons but i can't select any of them and the phone cuts out after the same amount of time. Everytime. When i plug it into my laptop, the light blinks on and then stays on like with the wall, but the phone doesn't attempt to power up. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. i have read a lot of forums where the battery was acting up because of the chargers people were using. The difference between my situation and those of the people i read about is that my boot screen cuts out and cannot be used. This all happened 2 days after my exchange period ended and because i took the back off myself, best buy won't have anything to do with me so i'm on my own and cannot afford another phone right now. Thanks in advance for your time and concern.

Is it possible that the that connection between the power cord and the phone itself is loose or damaged? I'm just guessing here as I have never opened up the back of my phone.
I would check your battery terminals then leave it to charge if it does. You could also try a factory cable. Another thing would be to try fastboot while connected to your laptop and see if it stays on, and if it does, try reflashing all partitions.

Hello everyone,
So I am new to XDA forums and I have a few questions about the HTC Vivid. I just recently purchased a phone for cheap just to practice doing how to root and do certain task on phones. When I purchased the phone I knew that the phone was not working properly. When I tried to turn on the phone nothing happen but I saw that the screen did light up in a black screen. I took the battery out and checked the battery and the connection to the battery on the phone everything seems fined. When I put the battery back in and tried to turn it on nothing happened. Think it might just be a dead battery I charged it all night. While changing I noticed the phone led light was not constant it kept blinking and a screen showed up real quick and it looked like it booted into recovery real quick and shut off. It kept doing this by itself for a while. (Cycling) Then it finally booted into the white boot screen with the HTC Logo. I thought the phone was finally going to work but nothing happened it continued the cycling process again for a while. Thinking there was a possibility of fixing the phone I connected it with my PC and using both Windows and Linux. When I connected it with Linux (Ubuntu) nothing seems to happen. When I connected it with Windows it does the same thing as if i charged it. The orange led light blinks a couple times and then becomes solid for a bit and blinks again life it was Morse code. This time I see a black screen lighting up more and boots fewer times booting into recovery. I think it booting into recovery because I remember the CWM. Through all this process while connected with my computer I see that it is attempting to connect with my computer but then shut off. After approximately 8-10 minutes of cycling i get the white screen with the HTC logo again and then the cycle happens again.
My question is what is the problem with the phone? A few things that pop into my mind is probably just the battery is fried, the microusb is bad, or something went wrong during the process of flashing something onto the phone. I was very detailed about the problem and what I noticed because like I said I purchased this phone only to learn how to root and do other various things on a phone. Is the phone salvageable? I will post a video later if my detailed description didn't make sense or you just have to see it happening.

OK, first thing to do is to charge the battery in an external charger. That is the *only* way to eliminate the battery as a problem. If the phone wont boot with a fully charged battery, see if it will boot into recovery mode. If you can't do that, it is quite possibly dead.
I still didn't get my OTA in Croatia so I decided to try this. I came across an issue which wasn't present in official 4.1.2. and maybe someone had (and still has) it as well. I'm posting this here so that it's easier to find if anyone has this issue and wants to fix it.
I have installed 4.3 on my Xperia T with Locked Bootloader and everything worked fine. However, I have come across a issue and managed to solve it as well. Here's what happened and how I solved it, maybe it helps someone with same problem.
Today my battery drained to 0% and the phone shut down. Now when I plug it in to wall socket to charge, red LED goes on and it turns the phone on. Once Android boots I can see 0% in status bar and it starts shutting down again. Then it boots up again and loops like that. I remember that on 4.1.2. there would be a battery icon when it was completely empty and it wouldn't boot the system. Now it just loops. This didn't happen on official 4.1.2.
I have Googled for solutions and have tried this.
"1. Press and hold down the power key on the right side of the phone. If the battery status LED flashes red, try plugging the charger into the phone at the same time as you are pressing and holding in the power key.
When plugging the charger into the phone there is a risk that nothing happens – no red battery status LED as indication of charging, or nothing appearing on the screen.
If the charging doesn’t start, follow the instructions under To let the charger be plugged in for 24 hours.
2. If the charging starts, keep charging the phone until it’s fully charged. Indication of charging is that the battery status LED lights up in red, or that the SONY symbol appears on the screen and then the LED lights up."
Problem was that when I left it to charge (screen off, LED red) it would start booting again after a few minutes. When it started to boot, I would press volume up + power key to shut it down and keep charging. I had to do this many times (10 to 15) and it was very frustrating but it worked in the end. I decided to let it boot and voilà! it showed 1% battery and didn't start shutting down. Now it's charged to 2% and keeps on charging.
The lesson - don't EVER let your Xperia discharge below 1%, you'll have a world of problems.
I have the exact same problem, except that it doesn't even charge when my screen is off.
Great find! I used a separate way to get it to charge but I can assure you it gave me a world of pain! Thank you for sharing
What about the Xposed module DisableCriticalBatteryShutdown?
If or devices were no longer turning off again after booting when battery is 0%, the problem would be fixed, right?

Hello everybody, i have a big problem with mi P9:
i was to replacing my cracked display and the battery, so i bought them. Took off the old display, replaced with the newer and the same process done with tha battery.
But, after that, i tried to turn on the phone....nothing. No vibration, to display, nothing. I plugged it to the power adapter, and a red led started to blink while charging, tried on more time to turn it on, and it get the bootup vibration, but still nothing on the display. After the short bootup vibration, the led blinked faster for 2 seconds, than nothing. After minutes, the phone show the charging screen with the 0% battery, not growing up. As last chance, i tried to unplug the battery, reconnect to the power adapter and...boom, it booted up with the animation. The phone show the unlock screen with the PIN screen, but only for 1 second: Battery low, the phone is about to turning off, and so it does.
Now, i tried with a different battery, but nothing. I don't know what is the problem. I was supposing about the motherboard flex, maybe i damaged it while removing the old battery, but i'm not sure. Can you help me?
Thank you!
No one can help me?
