My device just stopped working! The only bit of activity I can get out of it is if I try and charge it with the back cover off, then the led turns red. Other than that it wont work at all (just turned off mid-use). It has been dropped in the past, but that was months ago. Any advice please!

Hey all,
I've got a Orange branded e650/HTC Vox flashed with Dr Gonzos 6.1.1.1 which is much much MUCH better than the standard orange OS which constantly crashed and locked up, so top work there
Now, I have a bit of a problem, today I woke up to see my Vox had turned itself off, which was a little unusual, i turned it back on and it worked fine, however later at work it decided to start vibrating constantly, the orange charge light and the blue bluetooth lights at the top of the screen where on constantly, the screen had its backlight on but no information was being displayed, i took the battery out and left it for a minute before plugging it back in, it did this twice more during the day, the last time i left the battery out for a good 15 minutes or so before plugging it all back together and now its booted and working properly.
My question is this, is my phone on its way out? Is this going to be a regular occurrence? or is there anything I can do to stop it?
Thanks in advance

Well, maybe you should try to redownload and reflash the ROM. Maybe it didn't flash properly?!
It was flashed a good few months ago now (around march/april time if I remember right) and its being fine since I did it until now :/
Oh, then you might just try a hard reset!
So I Dropped My Moto G in water, I immediately turned it off and shoved in a bag o' rice for approximately 2 Hours, and being the impatient person I am I took it out :silly: and started using it. This is where the problems began to show. I would press the power button and the screen would turn off and then it would just turn back on. Whatever, big deal, I thought but I was wrong. Then the screen stopped turning on. Well, maybe it died. So I plugged it in and the notification light went blinking on and off. Then I tried to turn it on again and it did not work. Well $hit, I thought there goes my phone. So I stuffed back in the bag of rice and left it there for a week and a half and when I plug it in to charge it, the blinking blinked on and off (which indicates it charging) and it still doesn't turn on. So I try Holding the Power+Volume Down and the blinking stopped, but then 10 seconds later it resumed.
So my question is : what parts should I purchase to fix this phone?
P.S. The screen is cracked but it worked before the incident
Hey guys,
a few days ago I accidentally dropped an HTC One E8 in water and obviously it doesn't work anymore. Before buying a new one I wanted to ask, if some of our "HTC experts" may have suggestions on what else I could try before giving up.
The situation: I dropped it in water, didn't turn it off (dumb, I know) and it worked for around 10 minutes until it powered off. I left it in rice for a day and it didn't turn on or charge. At this point I nearly gave up.
I left it for in rice (about 48 hours) and - the orange led was flashing while charging. Even the screen turned on and it showed a charging symbol first and after a few seconds it showed a red circle and a white exclamation mark. After some time I could power it on and the touchscreen worked and I could use it, but it still was around 1%/0%. The screen flickered, but it was usable. I wanted to plug it in my computer then to rescue some data, but 5 seconds after I took it off power (to switch from the wall charger to my PC) it died.
Now I tried it to power it on for like 2 days, but with no charger connected nothing happens and when I connect the charger, the orange led is on constantly. I tried power/volume- and power/volume+, but nothing happens. Not even the charging indicator comes up, the screen is completely dead.
Are there any steps to try before giving up? By the way I don't want to disassemble it
Thanks in advance
I'm having a lot of trouble with my android. I fell asleep on the couch around half an hour ago and I woke up, and it was dead, so I put it on the charger. But the screen flashed this cyan screen saying broken cable. I put it on every single charger in the house and still nothing worked. I even put other phones and tablet on these chargers to make sure they worked and they did. So I don't know why my phone isn't charging. Whenever I do put it on a charger it just turns in but is an all black screen then immediately turns off. It keep doing this and I'm scared it'll mess up my phone. I noticed in the top corner it said "(timeout) Normal booting" so I'm wondering what is going on and what can I do to fix it. Is this one of those red rings of death moments or am I just exaggerating???
Which phone is it?
