i havent flashed a rom or anything my battery was at 20% last time i saw it and forgot to charge it and ive tried charging it and the orange light wont turn on either what could be the problem?
Try another cable. I've got one of them that has probs with data transfers ie Windows doesn't see the device but it can still charge, or try to mod the cable to work with some generic unused charger - note it's 5V.
tried
ive tried that method, also tried htc touch adapter no luck, pc no luck, even ps3 no luck and no indicator lights are turning on either its not even that old 4 or so months and i havent dont any ruu.
can some one please help
how long have you been charging it without unplugging? try to leave it for night and then check,
secondly, is your phone responding to anything ? is there something on the screen or is it just blank ?
if it does turn on you could try to wipe it and then see.
and... you should've created your thread in "sapphire general" section, not in here.
sorry
sorry for posting it here im just really upset. I just forgot to charge it and it was at 20% and now it wont turn on and nothing turns on i dont even see an indicator light, screen power up or anything. should i just leave it to charge for a day or something?
mods please delete
problem solved removed battery for 10 minutes put it in and it said 100%:S just letting it charge though.

I'm having trouble with my HTC Sensation. I Flashed ARHD 5.0.1 this morning and tried to flash the update to 5.0.2, but something went wrong. while I knew the battery must've been running low, the bootscreen took ages (first waited 15 minutes, lost my patience and then pulled the battery, next try was an hour). so I decided to try recovery in the HBOOT menu and it jumped right to an update screen saying LOCKED in a red box and telling me to update or not. so why not, clicked yes and it took ages again. so i pulled the battery and clicked no this time. then in the bootscreen saying beatsaudio I think it crashed. now it wont boot up by pressing power button and it wont get into HBOOT either. wondering if its the battery, pulled it out and checked with a multimeter, its on 3.76V, should be enough. strange thing is also that while in the charger, the LED doesn't light up. I just dont know what to do now. getting kinda desperate.
It looks like bad flash. try running your RUU from pc while phone is switch on.

The sensation has some wierd feature that when battery is very low it wont turn on, leave it charging for an hour or so and then try again and flash as jasminthoria said.
ive had it in the charger for a whole night now, and still the LED doesnt light up indicating that its charging, its just completely unresponsive, also i dont get the feeling its charging anything. ive used 2 different chargers and i have connected it to the computer, but it just wont react, it's acting like its dead (or maybe it is i dont know). As soon as I'm back in Holland ill go to the vodafone store and see what they can do for me. i dont mind paying for the repair myself.
Have you taken the battery out after charging it? I forgot to put that in my last post
yes i have
if you can try another battery try that see if it turns on if, it does then its your battery, if it doesnt then it could be something more than that
well I've just tried my sister's sensation's battery which works fine in her phone, and it didnt work, so i dont think the problem is in the battery.
Hi, I'll explain what happened.
My phone recently turned off (the screen kind of fizzled away to black) So I assumed this was the battery running out. When I got home I put it on charge and as I usually do waited a few minutes, then tried to turn on, to charge whilst on, the screen lit up the phone vibrated and the start up tune played, but only a lit up blank screen appeared?
I thought it might need more charging so I removed the batter to turn it off and put on charge again, whilst it was "charging" there was a flashing amber light for about 4 seconds at a time, this never turns steady or green, when just leaving on charge.
After numerous batter removals and replace the phone still does the same thing when turned on, but now with no sound, and still appears if the screen is on but blank and the four soft keys are lit, then if I press the power button or if I leave it, the screen goes off itself until I press the power key again (this same thing that would happen if going to lock screen). All of this happening with a now flashing green light?
I tried to access phone by USB cable and although laptop picks up fact something is plugged into USB, it doesn't appear on HTC sync or memory card doesn't appear.
When trying to hold in volume down and power on it's as if it's going to the right screen but still blank.
Stock rom on phone, S-OFF
Anyone have any ideas, without replacing phone?
Thanks
its seems like your phone has bricked.
1. First try this
2. if step 1 doesnt work, follow this
read step by step. good luck!
Have you tried a new battery? My phone went completely black while charging and it showed no signs of life, no charging light nothing. It was a new battery with about 60Percent charge when I put it on the charger. I noticed like you did, I tired to charge more but not even a light would come on. I happened to have another fully charged battery I kept as a spare. When I put the spare battery in, the phone sprang back to life! I threw the other battery away and have had zero problems since. So I suggest you try a new fully charged battery before you do any thing else. Strange thing was the battery I was using was fine the day before and even had the 60 percent charge when I put it on charger. I'm not sure how it happens but somehow the battery just died on charger. So give a new battery a try and see if it will also help you. If it doesn't, then likely it's failure of your device. But please do try because the exact same thing happened to me and the new fully charged battery fixed the problem! I'm hoping it will also fix it for you! Best of luck! You can get a good battery online for under 20 dollars. I recommend Anker extended battery. I really hope this works for you! Let us know.

I'll try this as a last resort and if not I'll get a new phone, cheers and I'll let you know what if anything works
So I get to the point where I have to ./brickdetect.sh and the phone isn't picked up or recognised, any idea how I can get the laptop to pick up the connection properly?

did you try charging it over night?
Yes.. Didn't change anything

Did you charge using pc or wall charger? That can make a huge difference. Try charging overnight with wall charger. Mine usually comes back to life after a few minutes at wall charger. Pc just doesn't charge quick enough

2 things you can try.
- the reset button at the SD and sim slot. Its a white square far at the left (display facing upwards).
Press and hold it for 10 seconds or so. (Don't press too strong)
But that didn't ever do anything to me, as I once tried to reboot at recovery mode with it.
- wait, wait and wait until the battery is empty (as it's not easily to be taken out). Then connect the stock standard wall charger. Wait for 15min. You can check what happens, but don't touch the phone.
If the led remains red, you can try to power it on, but chances is that it still doesn't work.
If everything else happens, you might be lucky (the led might not be red again).
Good lluck
I'm always curious if a thing worked, leave a message if success or not.
Hey,
after days on the charger i get following:
Phone charges for about 10 seconds.. screen goes on and so and then it stopps, fashes the red led and starts again. i believe the screen takes to much energy at this stage of charging.
i also know what happened.. at this night my phone showed me a looooong time 50% battery.. and it went off.. so the battery drained to much and i dunno how to get it back to work right without giving it back
i can enter fastboot but adb cant conect.. so i dont know how to make a backup other than this..
Sounds like your charger or your cable are faulty (at least, hopefully it's that)
With the wallcharger it should charge quick enough to not go off again.
Definitely try a different charger and cable, if that fails i recommend you claim warranty because then it's probably a hardware failure.
Chargers were all okay, tested them with my i9305, but with my Z3 they didnt work.. just a loop (Charging Loop i will call it yaaay)
I went to o2 today, they took it without charger or else and will repair it.. they gave me a S3 mini for this time (my s3 lte doesnt take any sim cards anymore x.x)
so, hardware failure i believe.. but it was the new 5.02 lollipop.. so be careful if the battery stucks at certain point!
Hi All, my wifes s6 (using xtrestolite rom) has stopped taking a charge. Im trying to figure out what the issue is. Unfortunately im travelling for the next month so have limited trouble shooting options.
Background
- wife has been complaining that her phone battery dies quickly. I kind of dimissed her assuming it was in her head. she said it loses 10percent in standby mode in 1hr roughly. Shes been complaining about this for a week.
- yesterday at the airport her battery was at 12% and when we plugged it in to charge it wouldnt take a charge. Bolt icon did not come up and still said "connect charger" on the screen. Normally when connected the red Led comes on, but now it doesnt.
-our normal chsrging method is using and aukey 3port charger as fast charging mode.
Troubleshooting/diagnosis
- i have an s6 as well so i tested all the cables and chargers on my phone and it works. We even had the official samsung charger and cable but same issue.
- after the phone was completely dead, if you plug in the charging cable the charging bolt icon comes on for a few sec, the top left says "kernel is on seandroid enforcing" for a sec and then everything goes blank. Red charging led doesnt come on. So it seems like it detects the cable but wont charge enough to boot up.
- i was able to boot into twrp recovery but where its supposed to have a battery level its completely blank. Originally i was able to do this without any canles but then it wouldnt. My guess is that i orginally had a bit of juice and then it was completely dead.
-after leaving it plugged in for a sec, im able to turn it on where it boots and i can see it says 0% battery. It stays on for 5sec before turning off itself.
- i also tried plugging it into laptop, but laptop does not detect it. The phone does detect the power though and does the same as above but this time bolt charging icon stayes on for 1-2min before going off and seeing the "kernel is on seandroid icon". Once the seanadroid goes away nothing seems to happen. After doing this i was able to turn it on and it showed 1%. I thought this was promising but after trying this a few times ive never been able to get to 1percent again.
- with the brief charge thst i guess its getting, i was able to go i to twrp recovery and do a factory reset. This was with cable plugged in the whole time. Without cable in i dont think it would complete the action.
That about summarizes whats happened.
Ive concluded the following:
- charger and cables are ok and not the issue
- it is not the charging port since the phone does seem to be getting some juice bacause charging icon comes on for 2sec whenever cable is plugged in.
- its not a software/app issue since it wont charge even in recovery mode. Also factory reset was done and no luck.
My best guess is that the battery can only hold a 0-1% charge which is enough to register it being plugged in but not enough to do anything else. But if everything else is ok shouldnt it work when if the cable is just left in. This makes me think theres something else going on.
Any suggestions or theories would be much appreciated trying to decide if i should pay to get battery replaced.
Sorry for the long post. Figured it is best to give all info.
Thanks in advance!
Update June 3:
Hey everyone, just a correction on the above. It looks like it is able to charge in recovery (slowly). I realized that although there is no battery level during recovery, no charging led, and not booting up after being charged for a bit, maybe its just going slowly.
So i went into recovery and left it overnight on the non-fast charging and woke up after 8hrs and it was at 78percent!!!
Im not sure why it didnt go to 100% in 8hrs.
The phone still doesnt charge regularly when plugged in, so still need to fix that.
Do you guys think its a rom issue (only factory reset done before) ? I will see if i can get a rom for flashing.
Update 2:
Reflashed xtrestolite rom but still no luck. It wont charge.
Seems like a dead battery.

Bump.
Went to the phone store and they said its probably not the battery but the ic chip for charging? This will cost 150, but doesnt include the screen if they break it...
Does this make sense since i can charge in recovery.
Thanks. Any direction or input is much appreciated.
Go on the local store and change your battery (if isn't in warranty)
Hi all, just wanted to update the post that the issue is semi-fixed.
I brought it into a repair shop who offered to diagnose the problem for free before paying to replace the battery.
He told me there was nothing wrong with it and not sure what my issue was. Plugs in the charger and lo and behold it was charging. He said he didnt do anytning to it except blow some compressed air on the port.
Im guessing the comporessed air cleaned out a short? So now it charges properly.
The issue remaining is that the pc doesnt detect the phone. It shows as charging on the phone but no conmection. Tried to install the latest samung driver (1.5.4xxx?) but no luck. On occation sometimes it says "usb port has malfunctioned" but other times nothing.
My s6 does actually connect, so definitely my wife's s6 itself and not comp. Im tempted to buy some comlressed air and give it ankther blow, but dont want to risk messing it up again. im pretty happy that it at least charges up.
Hope this helps others that might have similar issue.
I have mt07 and it worked just fine till yesterday... My charger and USB cable are original and they work (i tried serveral phones and it charges them) While im in a system it wont charge like my USB isnt connected to the charger... When i turn it off and plug in it shows a battery on the screen like it charges but no indicators or anything... only way i can charge is turn off plug in while on green battery screen i hold Power and volume up and from several tries it works... Nothing else works i even tried when it charges like this i tried to start up the phone and it just kills the charging like its been unpluged... i even did a clean hole system wipe/reboot and nothing... Does anyone have this problem and is it solvable? i also tried to find some custom roms couse i thought it was a rom problem but 99% of the roms on this site (megadownloads) are been deleted from mirrors and i cant find any... Also i forgot to mention my phone isnt even rooted or anything didnt try to flash it or what ever its complete legit and i only did official updates. Please help Thanks in advance
