Hi guys,
I need some help!!
I had an xda orbit which failed so I sent it back to o2. They took so long to send me out a replacement, I bought a new phone which I've been using since. In the mean time, they sent out the replacement orbit but has been lying in the house for 6-7 months untouched.
I tried turning it on for the first time yesterday and noticed that nothing would happen, not even the lights at the top. I thought it must be the battery so I stuck the mains charger in. Again nothing, not even the charge light at the top. At this point, I thought that the battery must have lost all its charge and rendered itself dead. I got out the voltmeter to confirm but actually got a reading of 4.1V from it which means the battery is fine and the phone is at fault.
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be or does it sound terminal?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!!

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,

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.

Heya all!
So a few a week before Christmas I unrooted my inspire to give to my girlfriend for christmas and she liked it very much.
She used it for a few weeks but a few days after New Years she said it wouldn't turn on and when she plugged her phone in to the charger it did something weird.
So I went over and checked it out...
When I plugged the inspire in the screen lit up showed a full green battery and the LED was amber and blinking then it suddenly went looked as if it wasnt charging anymore... Then it showed the screen and went blank and did this cycle for a few minutes....
She used all the wall plugs in her house and her laptop and got the same results... So is this a charging or a battery issue? Any help would be appreciated
Thank you all in advance!
EDIT: Also when the battery comes on the screen there is no % sign

Sounds Like a bad battery but is also symptoms of a failing main board. Try a different battery if you got one and if it still fails, send it in for warranty

Just ordered a battery and should be here in 2 days or so .... Then Ill go and try it around saturday... Hopefully thats just what it is!
And if not I shall just send it in...
Thank you for your help!
Also another question... If the main board has died do they replace the whole phone?
Don't know for sure, but you will probably get one that has already been refurbished. That's usually how it works.
Did you try another Charger or USB
Did you try another charger and or USB? The reason I ask is i had a issue with mine not exactly the same; however similar. I would charge for hours and only get a 3- 5 % increase. I thought my battery had went. Then I was connected to my car charger and it seamed to work a better. I then tried my wife's charger for her Atrix and it worked fine. My charger had went bad. If you haven't tried another charger it my be a good idea.
Sorry it would not let me quote the original post.

So my phone battery was dieing. In fact the phone powered itself off. So I went to plug it into my car charger, but the charger port (on the car adapter) was damaged so i never plugged it in. Instead I grabbed a usb charger out of the glove box that I had bought on ebay and never used before. I plugged it in, saw the big battery icon and a few seconds later the phone booted up and I saw the HTC logo. I left the truck and went back to work. When I got doe about an hour later I discovered the charge light on the phone was no longer lit and the phone would not respond to pushing the power button. At this point I figured I killed the battery and would need to try to charge it manually when I got home.
Upon getting home I put the battery in my wifes inspire. It curiously charged it up no problem. So I put the charged battery back in my phone and nothing. It wont do anything. I tried her battery, nothing. No lights, no vibe no nothing. Like the battery is completely dead... But its not.
I actually just bought this phone used about 2 weeks ago its been workign great until now. Im really bummed. I had 2 atrix's get the boot loop problem and another phones screen went. All in the last 3 months.. so annoying.
Im figuring that the usb charger might have an over-volted output and somethign got fried? I have no idea but if anyone can help me that would be great.. I've spent almost 400 in phones in the last 4 months
Thanks!

Also all covers must be on (sim) (battery) to turn on. Sorry dont know what to tell you, phone may have bit the dust. When you left it in the truck charging was it a hot sunny day. You may have damaged internal hardware. If you purchased phone on ebay open a claim against seller. I had a phone I purchased for 400 that kept frying the battery. Ebay made seller refund money back.
See if you can hboot power up holding power button and volume down button at same time.

I was using my sensation two days ago with an one month old Anker battery and ViperS 3.1.3, overclocked to 1400 aprox. when suddenly it turned off. No charging light even changing battery for the original one, connected to computer, differents chargers, no answer. I left the phone overnight without battery and the next day I connected to the computer usb and turned on, could get into bootloader and even get into the rom itself normally. Even though after a couple of minutes, same history, suddenly turned off and not resurrecting anymore trying every method (different chargers, batteries, usb connection). By the way only being in the CWM for a couple of minutes it will also turn off like when running the rom. I am afraid this is a hardware problem, and everytime the phone gets a little hot it wont turn on again for some reason I dont understand. Just wonder if anyone around here had the same situation and is nothing else I can do rather than throw my phone or send it for repair (which is supose will cost me more money than a new one). Thanks!
i don't know if it helps but charge the device without battery,sim and sdcard for 4-5 hours
put them back and see how it goes
best wishes
Try using a different battery first.. might be a battery problem.
Thank you guys. I already tried changing battery replacing the Anker by the original. Yesterday also left it connected without battery or sd all night as suggested, still no answer. I will again today left it without nothing during the day, if it turn on again for a couple of minutes as yesterday I will try to flash other kernel and rom, even though that I am confident that is not the problem. I am afraid that is the end of my loyal Sensation.

Check your battery pin it might be loose. Use paper and good luck

Hi there!
So here's the story - this morning I woke up to find that my one month old Huawei G620s (stock, no root or anything) is not working anymore. Just before I went to bed, I set the alarms and left it charging next to my bed with 46% battery. Everything was fine. But when I woke up this morning and wanted to check the time, I realised that my phone is completely dead. And I really mean dead. Usually when it's charging, there's a light in the upper left corner, but it wasn't on. I tried holding the power button for a minute or two, still nothing. Then I tried connecting it to my computer, no results. Since it has a non-removable battery, I couldn't pull that out either and for warranty purposes, I didn't even try. I already took it to my operator's shop and they sent it to the warranty guys since I figured there's nothing I could possibly do if the phone doesn't even recognize the charger.
Probably not a software problem since then the charging light would work at least. But I'm still curious - what the hell happened? Has anyone had any similar experiences or could you at least offer some insight into what could be the problem?
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It's not unheard of that a device just goes dead. It's sounds like that happened to you. It could be caused by a number of hardware failures. It sounds like it's time to use your warranty.
