Phone is dead???

My Orange SPV has died on me - did it yesterday, just went blank and wouldnt turn on, then after battery removal and fiddling it burst back into life and was fine. Today it did the same, but it won't come back - I thought it was a flat battery, but its still the sames with a fresh charged one. When I plug the phone into the charging cradle, the 'phone live' light shows red.
Any suggestions how to fix it ? - the unit is bog-standard, and I havn't done anything to kill it.
Any suggestions welcome, thanks

for softely done
my suggestions is keep you spv to charging for hole night and look at morning
what happen????
may it help you

hey i chek hardware it okay i try fill charge bettery also

hi chirag
if know the hardware then heat up the processor with blowergun or hotairgun what ever you call it but put the liquide solder past on it first then in hotairgun the temp on 4 and air on 4 or 5 and blow for 1.5 to 2 min on processor and disk on chip or ram give the hot air to it after that put ipa on it and clean the hole thing put your display and battery and make hard rest or flash fresh rom on it .
i think its work for you
the reson of boot up failure
is because the extrem use of your phone is make the bollgride which is connecting your processor and motherbord Drysolder in it after this action all drysolder is resolder to its place and its start reworking

[Help] O2 Cocoon big problem..!!!

I have O2 Cocoon but i dont know why sometime it's automatic turn off and i need to take off battery and put it in again to make it work
And 1 day it's off again but when i turn it on...it's keep repeat start up screen...and it's doesn't booting....!! it's always stuck into start up screen and keep repeat like forever...!!! and the important thing is it's can turn on start up screen when i plug the charger in....and with out charger it's said battery is too low (it's always said that when i have charger on...[When i hold Power Buttons)
Can't load start up screen on with out charger....!!!
Some one know how to fix it or have some idea to fix it..!!1
Thank you
Paul

that sounds like a serious hardware issue.
something related to power.
did you try to replace the battery?

i did...but it's samething ..!!

If you can't even get to load the OS and your device keeps on resetting, i'm afraid it's not something you can deal with..
of course, i might be mistaken, so i suggest you conduct a deep search into the forum concerning this issue. I hope you find an answer.

oh i did seach for the answer but i can't find it...and someone said i need to send my fone to O2 stores to fix it...cus this is an O2 fault..!!!

Yeah
Im currently having the same exact problem with my "fuze". mine currently has a custom rom on it and i thought maybe that its just some internal problem with the os. All that i think will fix our problems is a hard reset...does anyone know how to hard reset this device because for some reason the normal way is not an option.

ioono why o2 have this problem alot

Emergency battery app, request

Hi, let me explain what i mean. Recently i had some bad luck (which i won't discuss). I needed to make a phone call but when i looked at my phone, the battery was drained out and there was no one around me in a couple of miles.
Would it be possible to make an app which would turn off the phone at let's say 7-10% of left over battery (making it act like it's down to 0%) so that the last couple of % could be used in emergencies. You would have found a shut down phone but you could still turn it on and you would have let's say 7% left over to help in your emergency.
I think this kind of app would be useful, it's a black scenario but wouldn't you hate to be in a really bad situation and your battery just went dead?
I have no knowledge on how to make such an app, so this is a request, if it's even possible...thanks

this is a great idea for an app... i'd like to see it give you the option of what % to shut down at as for almost anything i'd need to do 2% would be fine... I really hope someone picks this up

thanks for the support, i am also hoping...

good idea
but wat i suggest u is to turn off ur phone when it reaches 5 percent n use tht only in cases of emergency...
der is a application out in market which speaks out wen ur battery level reaches 5 percent
turn off then

that's not really a good option and complicates things, i'd have to always monitor the % and sometimes you just don't notice/hear the 5% battery warnings, sometimes you're not in the position to be able to mess with your phone, like work etc...

yea i understand...
hmmm hope some one comes up with tht application

Well using Tasker, you can make battery level one of the conditions for an action. I had a quick look through the actions but I couldn't find the shutdown command. Actually, there is a run script button. You could probably write a script to make the phone shut down.

That's a clever idea. I suppose to achieve a similar result you could use SetCPU as well as Tasker to work in tandem to reserve a bit of an "emergency charge". If I could code better I'd create an app like this. Perhaps now that the seasons are changing in North America I should start learning to code for Android.
Hoping that for the interim someone would develop an app like this though. I'd definitely use it! I hate when I'm in a pinch and my battery is dead... happens rarely, but seems to happen at the worst times!

it would seem so indeed

that's a good idea, a script (as far as i'm familiar with it) should only be a couple of lines at best, still hoping someone would come along who knows to code this stuff

my X10 usually turns off at 15% automatically and i cant figure out why! its so annoying though i would not recommend an app like this in my opinion, theres nothing worse than when your waiting for an important call or text and youve been working away at work (im a joiner so i dont have my phone out unless theres a valid reason) and you wonder why your call/text hasnt came through..ohh the phone died on 15% and you find the text came through 2 hours ago, very very annoying haha!

I always have a spare battery with me in a protected pouch on my belt. It's very slim so you cant notice it there and is not a problem.
For me that makes life a whole lot easier

you're right on that one, but lots of us don't have a spare battery

with this kind of app you could always turn the phone back on and use the remaining % of battery, or stop the shut down for that matter...i don't see it as a problem

a little help, anyone?

Terrible Battery Life & Need Serious Help

Hey guys. I'm trying VERY hard to understand this, but I can't make sense of it at all.
I'm coming to this phone from the MT4G and besides this one having a dual-core cpu and being made by LG...it's not TOO much different from that phone in terms of specs. However I am having horrible battery life. Like I've actually sat and watched the battery drain by 10% after only being on for 2min. And this was from a complete charge w/ phone being off.
So now I'm wondering if I've maybe done something wrong when I rooted my phone because no one else seems to be experiencing this at all.
I followed all of the steps located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054492
Following the set of directions for the installation of "CWM 4.0.0.2".
I'm also using the EaglesBlood v1.3 ROM located here (No other mods):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124522
Now I've made this post because last night, before I went to sleep, my phone was fully charged and so I took it off of the charger. At 2a.m. it was at 100%. At 8:30a.m. (6.5hrs later) I got woken up from my house phone. My phone was right by my head on my pillow and furiously hot. I attempted to turn it on, but it refused. I thought the phone burned out while I was sleeping, but when I plugged it into the charger...guess what showed the LG logo?
So how, in 6.5hrs, could this phone go from 100% to being dead WITHOUT use? Did I do something wrong with my root process? Was I supposed to do something else?
I've never experienced this kind of behavior from a phone ever. And I doubt that I need to be living on a charger with it either.

I rooted my phone recently...used NVflash and stuff...but I HAVENT loaded cm7 or anything on it...i have, however, loaded some launchers and customized my phone alot...so with all the launchers and custom screens running my phone does die quicker...but not at the rate you say yours does...have you tried resetting to stock system and the root it again?

No....this phone does have higher usage rates that the phone you come from. But, it should not be as bad as you indicate.
Check on this forum for threads about Batteries....there are indications that some bad batteries are in play here. You may want to follow up with TMobile to replace your battery. Some have invested in OEM batteries and gotten more steady battery performance.
You may also wish to try some factory resets with your device, just to seeif your performance may change. You may find some relief there.
If nothing works, you may wish to do some application management and see what is using your battery. Work with the settings on those apps to make sure they are constantly checking for data. Another common battery drain is signal. If you're in a weak 4g area, try setting to 2g for a day or 2, to see if that helps.
The programs others mention like setcpu, might be ok. But, speaking only for myself, have not been able to figure out how they work, and explanations here, are over my head. So I choose to not use them until I better understand them.
With a stock setup, you should see better battery life. Having to change roms, to achieve that....indicates there is something wrong.

[Q] HTC Desire S Charging Problem

Hi All XDA Members I have a problem with my new phone (HTC Desire S) and was wondering if anyone could help me with what might be causing a certain charging problem, soo the problem...
The phone seems to think its being charged sometimes even when disconnected and is failing to charge the phones batteries through the standard wall charger or USB connection, therefore I am having to charge the batteries via taking the battery out of the phone and charging it in a separate dock I have purchased.
Sometimes as well after charging the batteries in the dock then placing them into the phone and turning it on the phones LED orange indicator glows and still thinks its being charged even when it has had a battery unpresent in it for several hours?
Does anyone have any possible outcomes to what this may be because of? Any help would be much appreciated?
The phone is running MIUI Android custom ROM with s-off.
Thanks,
Daniel
NOTE: I know I said "my new phone" but it is second hand and I purchased it with this problem hoping to come up with a fix.

have you tried other roms and experienced the same problem? or have u only ever had miui on it?

Hi, cheers for the quick response, and no I have tried multiple roms so far and all same problem.
Could it be anything to do with me getting cheap replaceable batteries for the phone as they are also not at the standard 1400mah but at 1450mah or should this not make a difference?
Cheers

this could certainly be the issue! so your saying it doesn't have a original htc battery? if i was you, the 1st thing id do is try a genuine 1. try to borrow 1 if u can from a friend or drop into a phone shop and ask. If it doesnt solve the issue atleast u havn't blown 30 quid on an original battery

you should try a genuine battery for sure! also their capacity is 1450mAh not 1400
check amazon uk

Just discovered guys that the batteries are actually 1500mah? Is this the problem and is their anyway to configure the phone to run with these batteries properly?
I am beginning to think whether it could be because of previous water damage if it has suffered from it before, but I would not know or be able to find out myself if it has been water damaged.
I was also thinking it could be this as maybe a possible short it happening on the main board and is causing the phone to think its constantly charging? Maybe?
Cheers Guys!

Can anyone help pleaseee!!

What makes you say that the battery is 1500 ? It's 1450.
HTC's own website says
Code:
[B]Power & Battery[/B]
Battery type:Rechargeable Lithium-ion battery
Capacity:1450 mAh

Hey guys (apologies I see this is a month old)
The issue Lowery91 has seems to be exactly the same as I had with my desire s. I'm breaking my heart trying to find out what's going on.
I have one of the original batteries that came with the desire S. The phone has these issues without being rooted (which I intend to do to see if I can amend it).
However for me it first started acting strange when I plugged it into a car charger.
Again sorry for rehashing this post but if anyone could shed some light on this I'd really appreciate it.

I'd suggest that you contact HTC support and get them to send you a replacement battery, explaining that yours is faulty, don't send your existing one back.
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium

i think it is not a battery problem, i have two htc desire S and one today had the same problem, i tried to change batteries but when i put battery from other desire S i had the same problem, booth batteries working perfectly on second phone.
So i think it is phone problem. Something like voltage loss or etc. Because i thinkphone gets not enouth power to charge battery. But this is only my opinion.

Check this: It was a small pin inside that had come out. It connects the USB to the motherboard and is visible just below the battery. I fixed it in 10 mins with a bit of R&D. Now that you know, it will take you less than 10 seconds.

Having opened up the phone quite a few times now, hopefully i can give a couple of pointers towards this...
There is a small connector with flex cable that connects the USB port to the main board of the phone. To get to this easily, remove the batter, SIM and memory card. Also remove the 4 torx screws at the bottom of the phone and gently slide out the plastic clip that holds the battery in place. You will see this connector at the right side of the phone if its facing down. Just push it up with a small screwdriver and push it in on the connector again. Reassemble.
Hopefully this is the cause of the problem in the first case! Please do this with care..
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked phones/broken usb ports, etc. Please do this systematically and all should be fine.
