Hi, i got a Vodafone branded (dutch) touch pro 2 for just 2 weeks now used it for 3 days and after that the phone wont go on anymore or even show a light when charging.
these are the things i did and knew what was kinda weird.
i unlocked the sim so i could use my other simcard. it worked like a charm did it with the tool that was posted on this site.
also i found out that the back off the phone felt kinda warm, to warm for my liking.
de 4th day i knew my battery was almost empty but i forgot to get it out of my glove compartment. (empty and no water/condense in glove compartment) i wanted to charge it because the screen was black and would not go on. so i plugged in the charger but i do not see any lights go on.
i have let it charge for a few hours in a hope that it would work but it didnt.
Also when in use the battery drainage was very fast like 8 or 12 hours standby
has anyone had this before and if so how did you solve this?
i have been to vodafone store and they said that i needed my warrenty papers first before sending it to repairs. but i just moved so i had to request the papers at there servicedesk.
and now i was kinda like well maybe i can do it myself.
When the phone worked it was really a refresh in speed for me because im used to the p4350. hope someone has a sollution for this.
sounds very much like a bad battery. see if you can do an exchange at the store
yeah that
i had a wizard (cingular 8125) for three years.
and that is how it died.
one day it got to 1% life .. and i forgot to charge it.. and then when i finally did plug it in hungover 12 hours later.. the charging LED on the phone didn't light up, but i didn't panic. i let it sit like that for a few hours and attempting to turn it on.. and it never came on. and now it's a paperweight on my nightstand. i won't let my new raphael go that low i can tell you that
sorry about your tragic event; you would think a phone this new wouldn't do something so silly! (that was my second battery on my three year old phone, and i surmised a new battery would rectify the situation for that phone anyway)
please let us know what you end up doing

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?

try to use another battery,if no work,seems nothing could help
Hi Friends,
I purchased my sensation Last Friday (June 24th)... I have a few issues with it. Does anyone know what would be considered a normal charging time for this phone? It took me nearly 6.5 hours to charge the phone last night (wall charger) while the phone was turned OFF! I find that excessive... My Evo charged in about an hour with the phone powered down. Also, I did plug the charger in this morning after normal use (about an hour).. When I plugged it in, the LED immediately turned green to say it was fully charged. Knowing this wasn't true, I turned the phone off - Now it turns orange?
Second issue I have seen with others on XDA. The touch screen is sporadic! Sometimes it will work great, other times I have to lock the phone and unlock it to get the screen to recognize any touch.
I'm not sure if I should take it in for an exchange this weekend. I love the phone... Anyone else want to chime in???
Thanks!

My first two Sensations had these issues and others. MY third one seems to be fine. I have 7 days left on buyer remorse. If you have any real doubts I would say exchange it for another new one instead of waiting and perhaps gettting a refurb one.

A few hours ago my girlfriend was just looking at her Triumph (was watching for messages so she wasn't actually doing anything on it) when the screen turned off. Now it wont turn back on. Have tried the power button, turning on the bootloader, and removing the battery for 5 minutes. No matter what we can't get the phone to turn back on. Any ideas on what has just happened? The phone is rooted with gingerbreak with titanium backup installed. That's it. We got the phone at Best Buy and this is our second phone. We're probably past our 30 days so this kind of bugs me! Any idea what we can do from here? Any other tricks to try?
As a quick update, Best Buy tells me that an Exchange counts as an original transaction. So I'm only 17 days into my "new" transaction. I can't believe neither of these Triumphs have lasted more than three weeks :\
Did you have it connected to the charger while using it? I have noticed it gets very hot even without the charger being plugged in. It may have over heated. Just a thought. Good luck. Let us know what happens.

No, the charger wasn't connected at the time. It was just sitting there with the screen on. The Significant Other wonder why it wouldn't turn off so she hit the power button and it didn't do anything. Finally the screen just went black but the backlight was still obviously on so she pulled the battery and put it back in. From there, she pushed the power button and the virgin mobile logo came on and nothing else. She had to remove the battery again. She put the battery back in once more and was able to get the Virgin mobile logo one more time. It froze after the logo and she pulled the battery one more time. After that the phone refused to turn on at all. When connected to the charger it doesn't do anything. Still completely lights out on the phone.
Man that sucks. I hope your able to find a fix.

Same thing happened to me the other day. I let my Triumph lose all its battery to charge it back up 100% (performing a full battery charge cycle), and it will no longer turn on. even when I have it plugged in the red light indicator will not light up most of the time.
Funny thing is, this is also my second exchange from best buy and luckily im still within 30 days and i have a replacement plan. I really suggest getting the replacement plan (its $30, good for a $300 phone), because unlike best buys other mobile protection plans, you dont pay monthly, you're covered for 2 years, and if you get tired of getting the same phone, they will give you a $300 store credit card.
You know my phone did something similar, my phone died and when i went to plug up the charger i got nothing. I think there might be something wrong with the charging ports on these phones, try wiggling the charger while its plugged in, thats what i did and it finally took a charge

upon closer inspection of the charging port, i noticed the female micro usb port was actually pushed further inside, thus preventing most chargers to work. I found a rocketfish charging adapter from best buy that seems to work perfect while my other cable didnt work at all.
As an update, we went back to best buy and sure enough they count the exchange as a new transaction, so I was only 17 days into my second transaction. They exchanged me another phone on the spot and so now we're on the third triumph. GPS checked out ok and the MEID was the correct length. The screen is the worst of the 3 (some pretty bad backlight bleed out onto the screen itself from the sides). I was picky about it but the gf isn't since you can't even see it unless the screen is completely black. So we'll see how this one holds out!
My guess is as was assumed, the battery wasn't getting charged. When the battery was removed for 30 minutes or more we were able to get the logo to show up and nothing more. My guess was the charger wasn't making contact anymore. We wouldn't want to keep a phone like that anyways but it seems like this might be a problem for these phones.
Every once in awhile mine will not power back on. It happened to me a couple of times shortly after I bought the phone.
I tried pulling the battery a couple of times and powering back up, no go.
What worked... remove battery, press power button for a couple of secs, replace battery, power back up. Has worked every time... so far.
My guess is need to drain some capacitors or that I had invoked part of boot recovery sequence without finishing?

Have you noticed the "I just broke my Triumph's Screen"- post? We'll If you saw my cracked Triumph, well that's another issue that I just discovered. The battery drained all the way and now it will not take a charge anymore. This is the exact same problem OP is having. Regarding this issue I will open up my phone sooner or later when I get a new one and take pics. I don't mind seeing wth is in there, maybe everything's held up by Elmer's glue lol. I'll make sure to let everyone know hopefully I'll do this within a couple days.
It seems like dead
If Motorola and VMUSA are not serious about resolving issues for Triumph then this phone will be dead anyways - customers won't be buying those. The number of returns are far more than new purchase. It seems like Motorola stopped manufacturing these.
So this phone will either get Ice Cream Sandwich update or it is end of life for this phone.
I just got my new One S a couple of days ago, and I'm one of the lucky few (or many maybe??) that don't have a problem with the chipping of the MAO...
I'm having a different problem though... Or actually i think it's two different problems.
One of them is the following: (and this is probably my own fault for not starting up the battery properly)
I got the phone friday in the mail, but I hadn't yet gotten my micro sim, and I had to leave for the weekend so i left the phone at home and brought my old one on the trip, but i forgot to shut down the One S, and the battery of course died over the weekend, even though I was supposed to fully charge it first to get the battery going..
But here is the problem, and this terrified me!!!
I couldn't get the phone started for like 20 minutes after I plugged it in to the charger.. The power button just made the three buttons in the bottom flash a couple of times, without starting up the phone... Eventually i got it going, but it really scared me.. Now when the phone runs out of battery it still needs around 5 minutes of charging before i can turn it on again... Am I the only one experiencing this?
The other problem, and this is the big one..
Two times the phone have shut down on me without any provocation... I pick it up, and hit the on-button, and the phone boots.. Meaning it was turned off.
And this is NOT because the battery died, as it has been at around 40% battery left.
Does anyone know why this happens? And if there is anything to do about it?
Also am I the only one?
Try a master reset; if it keeps happening, contact whoever you bought it from or HTC and exchange the handset.

I figured out the more biger problem with charging, Phone want to charge only when is turned off,they wont charge when is turned on,actualy,they showing me that they charging but it dont doing it.
I dont know how to bette explain it cuz my english is realy bad
Point is that if i connect them to charger they only show me message that they charging,and stay on that level in percentagle (for example 2%) untill they turn off and die,and then when is turned off i connect them to charger and they start to charging normaly
That killing me when i need to turn them off due charging
Similar Problem

I had a similar problem when i bought a Samsung knock-off android from eBay. The phone was cheap so i decided to get it, it also kinda looked like an over-sized s4 so it was thing and over all looked good. At first when i started using it was that it was not too bad, considering i only paid around two hundred dollars.
After a few weeks i started noticing the phone had a lot of problems. The screen froze a lot and my battery also had chargin issues. Sometimes it would charge and sometime it wouldn't (and then my alarm wouldn't go off in the morning and i would be late for work).
My advice is to stay away from china no-name phones. Unless you just want to use for short period of time or as a toy, it's better to pay the difference and get a brand name phone with warranty if you want to use it on a day-to-day basis.
