Hi guys,
Was sitting watching TV with my phone beside me for about an hour, it was working fine with about half charge.
I then went to make a call and the phone was off...
I tried to turn it on and nothing, I soft reset the phone, nothing... I hard reset the phone, nothing... I removed and reinserted the battery and nothing...
I plugged the phone in to charge just incase the battery had magically drained, the orange charge light appeared for about 3 seconds then went off... No life whatsoever...
O2 are replacing it with a door to door thursday but I have a flashed rom installed and cant replace the original... Think I'll be ok?
What might have happened to the phone, its never been dropped or water damaged!! Anyone else had this problem? This is my 2nd orbit, the first one was replaced due to the jog dial falling off!
Cheers,
Biscuitboy
I've had my phone just a few days and exactly the same things happened to me. I'm getting it replaced over the next few days. A little worried that it may happen again. Without knowing what may be a possible cause or if it's just poor quality build that maybe to blame.
Would be interested if anyone has any light they can shed on this
Same has happened to me but I have a charge light.
What was the prob with your two did you ever find out?

Hi guys.
They did try to reflow the proc. solders? Some drops of LiquidFlux and heating with HotAir pencil.On P3300 is helped!
try to use another battery,if no work,seems nothing could help
hi,
as you can see, I've got quite unusual problem with my vox.
the phone screen goes black, it blinks once the right green diode for half a second (could this be an error code?) and turns itself off. (not saving any changes made, or sms sent/recieved)
it usually happens when I make a phonecall, or browse the net, but lately it has started to happen randomly, when I browse the menu, or use any other programs.
What's interesting, is that after turning the phone back on form such a malfunction, the battery status shows it's below 20% and turns itself off again almost instantly.
The only solution I've found so far, is to wait some time, switch it on again, and pray that the battery indicator would show the state before malfunctionong. If it does, the phone could work as long as the battery remains charged (or turn itself off again, as it happens more frequently lately)
Does anybody hav some clue what could it be? malfunction of the battery, or phone itself?
I dont think it's a software issue, because just yesterday I replaced WM6.1 (drGonzo) with wm 6.5 ( the 2.1 ver by frauhottelmann)
and it still occusrs.
Same problem
Yeah i am also facing the same problem with my Vox...it is around 1.5 yrs old...and i know its battery is dying...but it happens even the battery is fully charged...
Is it really because of the battery or some hardware...
Dude its due to battery .May be you are charging your machine through USB. Your battery need replacement..It will show you full battery.Its false showy.
I faced the same.Now I happy after changing my batttery
FIrst of all check the battery mates.
Me and my friend both had the vox that with full battery charged suddenly turned off after a call...and definitely was THE BATTERY.
Now I bought a double capacity for about 10 euros shipped...and my vox stays on without intensive usage (3-4 calls of 4 min each, and about 10-15 sms for about 8 (EIGHT) days)
Try to empty the battery completely and then recharge it completely!
To really empty it, put it in boot loader and unplug the cable. Let it sit until the screen turns off. Then recharge it without turning the device on.
My phone has started doing this recently, it doesnt seem to be as bad if I put it on Aircraft mode, but it always turns off randomly after a while at least, I am going to try frauhottelmann idea now.
Also, if it works I would like to flash it to WM6.5, how can I check to see if I need the USLP? I got the phone second hand so I am not sure what the phone was originally.
Had this problem for a few weeks now. Just put it into boot loader mode to see if it works. Shall let you know later or tomorrow
forgot to update the topic ;D
I've changed the battery for a new one, and now it's running smoothly and lovely

Since i m facing the same problem and that now it is confirmed that it is due to battery, I wished to try FMs idea. but its now more than 2 days in bootloader, my phone is still not discharged completely. is there any other way to completely discharge the battery?
Well, seems your battery has plenty of life! LoL
BTW I suggest you to activate BT and WIFI...then run TCMP into loop and maximum volume...
the phone should run out fast...when the phone suts itself off..you could do the FM's thing just to refine the discharge.

No luck with this method. The problem still persists. It is still turning off randomly.
Guess finally, i'll have to change the battery. hope after changing the battery the problem gets solved.

yap, its the battery alright. facing the same issue, but the battery is warn out due to intensive charging from my car...
so, incoming new battery
actually i think i have a different kind of problem... my mobiles do not restarts instantly, the screen first fades to grey (as if the lcd is damaged with only grey and white vertical lines visible), and then to black and then it restarts. has any one faced similar problems? Can this be solved by changing the battery?
and i dont know but somehow each time i set the correct TIME in the clock, after sometime my clock slows and shows the wrong time(as in case of a wall clock with weak batteries).
any suggestions?
This method worked for me....
Switch off the phone, take out SIM..clean the sim enclosure area and insert SIM..RESTART

An easier way to turn the phone off other than having to remove and rinsert the battery if the power button does not work, is to open the Sim card door.

Hi anyone...
Need help to see if there is solution to my dead i780. After charging for quite sometime, the led indicator still remain "RED". I suspected something went wrong so I unplug the power and the red indicate still there. I tried switching on or off the phone but was unsuccessful. No choice, I have to take out my battery and place it back. After doing so, the phone cannot be turn on anymore!!!
Having an external battery charger and spare battery, I tested with a different battery but still unsuccessful. Charge the existing battery with the external charger have no issue. So I concluded that the problem now lies with the phone... any solution? or anyone encountered this before.
If I send for repair, is it worth it? $20++ for checking and $XXX.XX for parts.
Thank you.
Hi all,
I would really appreciate some help with my issue on the HTC One S. I've been looking for a solution for weeks now and still don't have a clue on what it could be happening.
The PROBLEM is this: sometimes my One S turns off suddenly. Next, I turn it on but it is very likely to do the same again in a few minutes. If I am lucky, it turns on and works for a while (which can be from hours to days), but if I'm not, the phone is completely dead (not even responding to charge and no matter how I try to boot it) for hours or even days. Finally, I get it again to life when I see it starts charging the battery (always from zero... even if it died at 80% battery).
I had a video on youtube to show you what it happens. What a pity I can't post it here cause of xda-developers rules!
Do you guys have any idea if this could be a battery issue/software issue or anything else?
Additional information:
-Glass is broken (phone works perfectly) but didn't have this issue for one month since the incident.
-Phone has been working now for 2 weeks (it will do it again... I'm quite sure)
-I dropped the phone into the snow a few days before it started to act like this, but dried it quickly.
Sounds like faulty battery or faulty battery connection. That would require opening up the device and either replacing or reconnecting the battery.
Thanks, it is always good to have a second opinion, two minds always think better than one
Just in case anyone else would like to give his opinion, this are other (maybe) useful symptoms: phone reboots in the middle of the night, or, if already turned off, it turns on (and off again sometimes) by its own. Also, sometimes, just before turning off, screen freezes for 1 or 2 seconds. The phone has its bad and good days (thankfully good days are more frequent as time passes), but, in its bad days, it turns off many many times and sometimes it doesn't even completely reboot, I just see first screen then nothing.
Also I have been using car chargers not from HTC in the same while the phone used to have this behaviour (like the Kindle car charger). Actually, once, while using one I bought on eBay, I got a message saying something like "phone has been disconnected from charger to avoid damage".
What could this mean? Battery fault can make this? I appreciate any similar experience or opinions
Bateries are durable now days, I'm afraid that the snow got into your phone and caused a short circuit on motherboard.

Hello to all, as in the photo that I enclose, since replaced the display on my nexus 5, the indicator of the battery charge remains always at 0% ... if the detachment from the current, continues to run regularly for a few hours.
I also tried replacing the battery with an original but to no avail. If i turn off the phone there is no way to turn it back on if you disconnect the battery, attacking power, get it going in the bootloader, reattach the battery and then start ... crazy stuff. What do you think?
Sorry my english and thnks for helps!
Hello,
I am having the same problem after having replaced the battery... Did you find any solution? Thank you
Same problem here. I revived the phone after a water drop but now have exactly this problem. All good except for this. I replaced the battery but still the same.
The phone can use normally, just don't know how much battery left because always shows 0%.
And if turn off need to open it, disconect the battery, connect the charge, turn on and when google appear connect the battery back. Kinda weird but is how it works now.
Any way to solve this?
The same problem
It happened to me and I am looking for a new battery in Egypt
I have the same problem.
Even with a new OEM battery this happen.
Any news about a solution?
Exactly the same problem.. any solution?!
