Now!! That is one real Issue I had

hi all,
This morning i encountered an annoying issue with my VOX. I put it into pocket and then all of sudden it started Vibrating for no reason. The screen went blank (Dark Black). Both the LEDs were glowing constantly, Orange and Blue. And vibrating will just not stop at all.
Removed the battery and put it again after 10 minutes, thinking it might make my VOX work after it is WINDOWS (Restarting must work...) but to no good. As soon as i tried switching it on, it started vibrating again and kept doing it until i switched it off back.
Tried doing hard reset, but it never responded.
After 30 minutes of Battery out of Mobile, I tried switching it again, and this time it worked.
Any ideas, what might have gone wrong??
FYI...
Using Fireburned Neo 0.7 version Rom and nothing else installed on it.
Any ideas, guyssssss...???
Thanks much
Loku

I also use this rom v0.7, i never had this problem, it is odd...
Maybe an hardware problem ?

try an original rom and try and reflash yor device

Thanks guys..the problem seems to be solved now. no more constant vibrations..But the battery is drained like hell now. Earlier it used to take me some 2 days to charge my VOX but frm this incident i m almost charging it every 10 hrs..Reallu fishy hmm?? well i will try to flash V 0.8 for NEO rom and see if it still continues..then i may need help from u guysss
Thanks much

My phone just died

I just got this phone not 2 months ago and out of no where it just died!
I was running the recent Energy ROM on it and have been since it came out. Today it ran just fine as always and just a few minitus ago I went to check it and I could not get the screen to turn on. I pulled the batter out and then went to turn it back on, I would vibrate like it was going to start up and a few seconds it would go black and vibrate again. It did this over and over till I finaly tried a hard reset. I was able to get into the hard reset and it said that it compleated and I hit power up to boot. But then the screen got fuzzy and would not boot, so I pulled the battery again and now I can't get it to start at all! No power, nothing! Even with the power cord pluged in it doesn't do anything, not even light up showing that it's being charged!!
What should I do, or check?

Not knowing particulars I would double check the water intrusion labels and make sure they were both white still. Check your gold battery connectors and make sure those look good. Also check your charger and the USB plug to make sure that it is clean of debris and shiny.
Then I would charge the phone for 4 to 8 hours without attempting any boot ups just to make sure it was fully charged.
I have had 'wonky' issues with the phone being too low of a charge and not booting properly. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I will hook it up to a charge tonight and see if that does anything, but it was atleast at 60% eairlyer and as far as I know should be no reason that it should have discarged that quiclky. Also all the markers look just as they did out of the box. Thanks for the advice!

Your ROM might have gotten corrupted. Try a reflash by booting in bootloader mode.

How? It won't turn on?

Try pulling out the battery (and no USB plugged in) then hold the volume down or up button (I don't remeber which) and hit the power button just once while holding the volume button and if you get to boot loader mode you can go from there. Otherwise I'm afraid you are out of luck.

So with no battery I can get to boot loader mode?

Anyways, in or out, nothing. How does my phone just brick itself? I didn't do anything to it!?

If you could do a hard reset, then you can get into bootloader. Just press and hold volume down and then soft reset. If you have to do, a hard reset first, then go into bootloader when the screen says to press volume up to boot up. Once in bootloader, either flash a rom of your sd card if you know how to or off the usb connection.
What radio do you have, and did you change radios recently? I'd recommend using what nrg says (1.14.25.05) with his rom.

I was able to do a hard reset and now nothing is happening. I cant get it to power up, can't get into boot loader, nothing. It is acting like it is bricked... but I haven't added new software, no new ROM... I just don't understand.

Just pull the battery and let it sit overnight. I've read that that can help.
Oh, yeah, what radio are you using? I ask because there was another poster with a similar problem on that rom. He was using a 1.12.xx.xx radio (I think .25.19), and it appeared to have issues with the included rilphone (1.14.25.05). If you haven't flashed a radio and are using a stock fuze radio, this could well be your problem.

Humm the radio was the most recnet one by HTC. The on that the Energy ROM flashes with stock (not the one he suggests, I never got to flashing that one onto the phone) I'll let it sit tongith and report back in the morning/afternoon.

Same thing happened to me few minutes ago. Thats ****ing weird. Hope I still get this working or I have most expensive piece of junk in my hand.
I also have newest Energy ROM and stock Radio. I had just wrote sms few minutes before, heard that got new sms and tried to turn on screen, but it just stays black.
edit. By using Pocket Controller-PRO I can see that phone is working "normally". Even touch screen is working, but screen is just blank. Keyboard is also dead. Have to take this to repair

Well, flash it back to stock and then have it repaired or replaced. You don't need the screen working on the phone to flash it.

To post an update, I pulled the battery and left it all night like that with no resolve. Right now I have my buddy (the one I bought the phone from) on the phone with cingular to see if there is anyway we can get them to replace the phone since it is only 2 months old or so.

Ok! Get an iPhone now

HAHAHAHA Ya that is somthing that isn't going to happen.

so two people having this problem .. one of them didnt update (downgrade) their radio to the one recommended.
I have a new fuze, just installed Energy Rom.. and went to check my phone version. It was 1.14.25.35 ... NOT the one that was recommended. So I downgraded the phone to 1.14.25.05 immediately
I would be interested to know if the other person was also running 1.14.25.35 and didnt bother to downgrade as recommended.
Other than that ... tons of people are using this ROM and afaik you are the only two to get a black screen like that. Both of you were able to communicate iwth the phone through a remote program? Or only one?

I run any radio I like on my phone and I never got this issue. Sounds like a hardware issue and it just happened to match that the two persons flashed the same ROM without changing the radio to the recommended one because, frankly, I just flash any I want and I haven't gotten that problem yet (mind you I flash sometimes 5 times a day.)

You're probably fine with that radio; you can always install the rilphone.dll for it.
This is the thread I was thinking of. Now that I re-read it, the OP didn't specify the rom, but since everyone is on NRG rom, I guess I just assumed that was what it was. Either way, the 1.12 radio seemed to not get along with the cooked in 1.14 rilphone. Or, it could've just been bad luck on the radio flash.

[Q] Possible Brick!

Howdy,
I noticed on my phone that my screen locker looked wierd so i soft reset the phone then played a game of madden and looked down at my phone and it was at the orange windows boot screen hung up at it. I soft rest again then it would flake out at the verizon splash screen i soft reset a bunch of times and still the same results. I yanked the battery and let it sit for an hour and still nothing i replaced the battery and nothing.
So i proceeded to go into bootloader and hooked it to pc and reflashed with the stock MR2 verizon rom and now its hung up on the white htc screen with the red writing at the bottom.
Only thing done to the phone was HArd-SPL a week or 2 ago with no rom flashes after was on the stock rom.
Ive searched the topic also and am thinking i might have to do a task 29?
ATM im going to try and flash the first stock VZW rom and see where that goes but likely same outcome.
so do i have a brick or is there a fancy way to get it working?

got it working with the MR1 update so im good

[Q] My phone keeps turning off.

My phone will randomly turn off out of nowhere. Earlier today I had 17% battery and it just turned off instantly. I turned it back on and had 87% battery. About 10 minutes later it instintly turned off again and when I turned it on I had 25% battery. It's getting really annoying. I never had this problem before, nor have I ever dropped it.
Is there something wrong with the pins on the back of the case or something?
Thanks in advanced for the replys.

nvm................

i had this same issue, for me it helped to move all my apps back to my SD card and reformat my sd card. Since then it happend once again and that was after i dropped my phone and my sd card unmouted. but besides that occasion havent had it for about a three week now.
might be related to moving apps to sd card, not sure do if this actually started the problems for me.
I m on stock ROM and i live in europe

I've got the same problem since about a week, phone randomly turning off. Though never when i'm using it, alsways when the phone is in standby mode, including the strange battery level jumps. I thought it was an app so i did a hard reset, but the turning off remained. I switched from Sense to Launcherpro, still no change.
My phone runs on stock rom, 2.3.4, Sense 3.0, Kernel 2.6.35.13
This weekend i'll backup my SD-card and reformat it, if this helps i'll let you know.

Been there, done that; problem still exists... I have tried a new battery new software (factory reset and hard reset in the repair centre), boardsap, other simcard, other sd card... The problem still is there, I am trying to get a new phone. The problem is the phone ... My question is is this only a normal sensation problem or is this also a problem on the Sensation XE?

My phone is starting to show the same symtons again. Overnight it also has shut down. So i guess the sd format did not get rid of the problem. But on my phone it definitively made it less frequent. As before the format i had it 5 times a day and now i have it once a 2 days. Probably will get worse overtime as the last time i had it.

Let me know if u succeed, i contacted HTC today and they told me to factory reset my phone. Not looking forward to that, do. Might do it next week.
forgot to ask, did HTC give u those out of warranty our did u buy them yourself?

Let me ask you a question. Have any of you polished your covers to chrome? I have had the same issue of my phone turning off in my holster, but only when I have my polished case on it. When I put my spare one that has not been touched, the phone works flawlessly. Not sure if there is some weird static buildup that is shorting the phone. Also, to get it to turn back on, I have to pull the battery first.

I had the same problem on my Sensation, turning off randomly (not reboot). And the battery would display wrong reading once it is back on. Initially I thought this was due to bad rooting or a custom ROM issue, I restored back to stock and right there on the language selection screen on first start and without the SD card, it went off. That made me sure it was a problem something else. I thought then it would be due to bad charges in the battery, used different charger to charge, didn't work, then I replaced the battery, somehow the problem stopped and when I insert back my old battery the problem still didn't come back. I don't have an explanation to this behavior. It works fine now.

That sounds weird, I didn't polish my back to chrome... And I also do not need to pull my battery to turn it back on. A few times I had that it turned of and it would directly turn of again after it was restarted (home screen loaded). The only way to get out of that was to hook it up to the charger.

It's really odd. I can't even use the phone any more.
When I turn it on, as long as the screen stays on it will not turn off.
Once I lock it and put it in my pocket, about 40 seconds later it shuts off. This isn't just powering down, it just instantaneously shuts down. I also can't turn the device back on no matter how many times I press power, I have to physically pull the battery and put it back in to turn it on.
One more thing to add: My girlfriend smacked my phone out of my hand once accidentally and the case doesn't click in. It stays in place but if you hold the case and attempt to take it off it falls off. I'm thinking it could possibly be a problem regarding the pins, but from what I know the pins only control the screen.
Edit: One last thing, when it's connected to my computer and being charged it never shuts down.

Read
I had this same problem two days ago. Left work and my phone just shut off while in my pocket. I was running sense-o-maniac Desense 3.5. It continued this behavior for the next day. Also my battery was showing random charge percentages. There were two issues"
1. I was had used the battery calibrator app from the market to erase my bat stats - problem - it kept erasing my battery stats.
2. I was using set CPU and after reading many dev forums about such issues, I realized that setting the idle below 384 mhz, it causes the phone to random reboot.
Once I conducted a complete wipe and flashed MIUI I was good. no issues.
My Suggestion: Try a complete wipe, then Android Rev HD wipe, then reflash, Wipe cache, Davlick Cache, Fix permissions, then reboot. Drain the battery, then recharge to 100% and wipe bat stats

2nd factory reset and reformatting the microSD did not solve my problem...
@anari101: I'm a big fan of custom roms, but currently my sensation's still running a stock rom. I'd rather not void the guarantee at the moment by flashing it as the phone isn't functioning properly. If i can't fix this problem without flashing a custom rom, i can return it to HTC and hope for a repair or a new device/battery...
Anybody got any other ideas?

i also dont want to root a phone that might have problems.
I did not do any factory reset yet, but the problem is comming back now i have once a day it just shuts down. The last time when i picked it up and pressed the power butten the screen was white for a split second. However if i look at my history of battery monitor widget it stopped recording an houre earlier. clueless to why this happens.

If your phone is rooted, I agree with anari - use current widget and battery calibration to re-calibrate your battery. Let phone charge all the way and then some like another 2 hours. Use battery calibration to get rid of batterystats.bin. Let battery completely drain (Hopefully it doesnt shut off in the process). Definitely seems like something is wrong with your ROM's battery settings.
If you dont have your phone rooted. Have you received any updates lately? If a factory reset didnt help - go to your local Tmobile and just have them ship you a new phone. Not worth dealing with the issue and they can get you a new phone within a couple days.
EDIT: If you have NOT factory reset your phone. You can try to copy all data off your SD card, reformat it. Insert it, let the phone recognize and set it up then add everything back on. If that doesn't work, factory reset (after using Astro to backup all apps). If THAT doesnt work, go get a new phone.

I am having this same problem. Mine always happens when I take my phone out of my pocket after it's been sitting for a while. It also seems that my battery is always around 30-40 percent. It will unlock then just turn off. I turn it back on and after about 30 seconds it turns back off. The only way I can get it to stay on is plugging it in to the charger for a couple of minutes after turning it on and it won't do it again for a while. I don't know what it is but I'm thinking battery or SD card.

u have ur answer, its a hardware problem, "sounds" like the audio chip is bad, new mobo required

problem solved ( voodoo magic??? )
So first of all i would like to tell you how my problem started.
First of all, my phone was rooted with kinguser.
I was answering calls and in most cases i couldn't hear anybody. That day my i727 was out of power due the empty battery. I left it to charge over the night and in the morning when i tried to power it on, only at&t logo was on the screen and mobile freeze on that point. I didn't want to hard reset because of all the contacts in phone, so i tried to power on about 100 times. I lost patience and hard reset it. After that same problem persisted, phone freezes on at&t logo. I was on a trip so i tried many more times - pull battery, power on, press power button long time, power on, and on and on. After about hour of trying my phone started but again without sound. I tried to plug in phones but it didn't help. tried to play music, restart, install new players, set the sound level nothing helped.
I pulled out my old htc wildfire for use, and took i727 for taking pictures and things like that. I bought bluetooth earphone, and that solved problem, but i wasn't satisfied. I bought new speaker ( about 4 bucks ) and installed it. Unfortunately that didn't solved problem.
I was using my i727 for about 2 months only for camera and games. In that time i tried to put stock firmware to solve problem. That also didn't help. I read on this forum how to put custom rom and i tried. I am not so expirienced so i had many problems, i didn't manage to do that in first place. Tried with odin, CM10 and few custom roms, but failed every time. I thought that 40 bucks it too much for new mobo.
Two days ago i downloaded android 5.1.1, twrp 2.780 and gpapps. i followed steps and manage to install android 5.1.1 on my i727. On first power on android logo ( red green and yellow ball on startup ) looped in infinity. I reset phone with power button and on second time, android was updating. Phone started and new android 5.1.1 was up. First i tried if there was sound, but with no luck. Day after i installed some game, and after few hours of playing, phone turned off because battery was empty. i pluged charger, power on phone and went out. 5 hours later phone was still on startup logo bubbling. I tried to take battery, and power on, again infinite loop on android logo. i tried to reset with power on button, but on power on infinite loop again. I didn't want to lose my save in game so i tried to reset, and try, and try, and after many attempts finnaly phone started, and updates was applying. I waited for updates to finis, and phone started. i put my phone on table, and in few seconds viber ring. i read the message , and after that i realised that my phone had sound again! today is second day with sound. Still don't know how that worked out...
I hope that helps

two days after, my battery went out, and after recharging, there was no soun again
