[Q] Orange light flashing charging - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

Does your LED flash orange when charging with the phone off? Mine is and I don't know why.
Edit: Looks like this has to do with S-Off and CWM? What is the solution?
---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------
Edit - just updated to cwm 4.0.0.9 and i still can't charge with the phone off. Also, when I unplug, the orange light just stays lit.

I know it may not seem like it. It is charging though. This was previously talked about and dozens off tests done. Even though the phone doesn't respond it is charging.

How do I know it is done then?

I notice it happens more when the batt. It way past dead (so to speak) but it is a clockwork prob happened with the G2, but was fixed, the modaco recovery is a frankenstein kinda thing, id say it will get fixed once we have a true clockwork recovery.
Not to put down the hard work those modaco guys do, he made alot of recoveries for fones that didnt have them

Is it safe to use rom manager now

I know earlier rom manager had a charging issue bug for the sensation just wanted to know if the newest version was ok to use
4.0.1.4 clockwork is the correct one for the charge when battery dead.
Non. Rim manager still installs the bugged 4.0.15

I guess I don't know what bug this is either, I'm on recovery 4.0.15 and it charges fine. Even when its off....If I'm using the wrong recovery point me in the right direction please.
Yeah, I just looked, I'm definitely running 4.0.15 too, and my device charges perfect, if something bad is gonna/might happen please let us know what it is, and how I can change the version of clockworkmod recovery.... Thanks....

@Xsnipuhx, how long have you been on it?

Its acually cwm recovery that you have installed wrong. You need 4.0.14 not what you have. The problem with 4.0.15 is if you uncheck fastboot and your phone shuts off from low battery. You will not be able to charge it in order to get it back on. Therefore you must get the other version. Im sure rom manager is giving you the wrong one. I know you havent seen a problem yet. But you will if you uncheck fastboot and run out of battery. Flash new version alpharev cwm here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16125079

This isnt true, and has been spread from day one. Many people have found it to work, just fine, with fast boot off. I have found it to work just fine as well. For those people, the other version (.4) DOESNT work just fine. I found that it wouldnt light the led or let me reboot without a battery pull.
The truth is, is that EITHER may work or ONE OR THE OTHER. Its EASY to figure out which one...
DO THIS WITH A CHARGED BATTERY!!!
Firs try .4 since most people are using it and that keeps us all on the same page.
Start with a partially charged battery. Note the capacity before pulling the battery and replacing it. Charge for an hour and then try to turn the phone on.
If it boots up, check that it charged. If it did, then great. If it did AND it lit the LED, SUPER GREAT! If it didnt light the LED, but you can live with that, then thats just dandy as well.
If it DIDNT work, then try the .5 version. I have yet to find someone that couldnt get either version to work PROPERLY.

Thanks I already have the newest version of alpha as a recovery I just like to view available roms on the manager and what not I used it on my og droid all the time but in order to check roms you need to flash the recovery and I dont wanna lose my alpha for a glitched recovery.

Intermittant stuck in Airplane Mode

Found on a few occasions I put the device into Airplane mode to conserve battery life but when I went to exit Airplane Mode, the device stays stuck in Airplane Mode.
Turning off the device and rebooting the device works ok.
Has anybody noticed this behavior?
Should I try something else to toggle Airplane mode ON/OFF?
I've been battling with my HOX losing signal completely (0 bars, just the small "x") and not able to reacquire the signal until I either toggle airplane mode or reboot it. Seems to be entirely random. Going to try and hard reset once and if that doesn't resolve it I'll swap it out for another one.
Dose it randomly happen anywhere or only in certain places?

Seems to happen randomly everywhere I am. While researching this issue, I came across this post over on androidcentral: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-x/171872-htc-one-x-att-version-bugs-thread.html#post1762071
It describes my issues almost exactly. Seems like AT&T didn't do enough QA with some of these. If there isn't a patch/update soon, I'll most likely go swap it out for another one and hope it performs better.

dont swap since your possibly returning your htc one x cause of the locked boot loader. Let someone else enjoy a brand new hox.

HTC One X stuck on Airplane Mode
Hey guys..
ok.. this is my first time posting on here, so i'm not sure exactly how this works..
2 days ago.. my HOX suddenly lost it's signal, (small x next to the bars), and hasn't regained it yet. Attached is a screen shot of the settings screen, showing that the airplane mode is 'turning off', but the thing is, that's all I get.. it won't turn off.. it's as if it's on, and the device can't turn it off.. I tried everything from resetting to doing a restore factory settings.. nothing.. it's stuck like this.
The thing is, I live in Egypt, and I bought this mobile online from the UK.. if I were to take it to the shop here, I would lose my warranty. I need to be sure exactly what I'm dealing with, so if I need to, I send it back to the UK and incurr the shipment fees. If it's a minor hardware problem, I'll just void the warranty and fix it here.
The device is running the original Sense 4.1.. I did not flash any ROM's.
Appreciate your response!

Firstly we need to make sure we're talking about the right device. Go to the bootloader and tell us what it says.
To get to the bootloader do this: hold power button and volume down button together, the button lights will start blinking, when the lights stop blinking and the screen turns off, let go of power but keep holding volume down until it reaches bootloader. Now tell us what it says.
Also, have you modified the phone in any way? Is your bootloader locked or unlocked? Are you rooted? Do you have s-off or s-on?

BRICKED after deleting a file !!! HELP PLEASE...

Ok, so I had recently flashed MIUI sense based, I realized it wasn't for me so I restored my backup of TrickDroid 6.1. After doing this I went through and decided to delete some some stuff because my space was getting low (not 5mb low, more like maybe 1/2gb), I went to delete the MIUI v4 2.7.6 file and the phone appeared to go into standby... I tried to wake it up again with no luck. Plugging it into a charger does nothing, no red light; no green light. I'm unable to get into bootloader mode, no matter how long I hold down the "down volume + power" combo or any variation of it.
I need one of the gurus to help please !!!!
maybe post this in general or q&a?
any adb connection? if it's in standby then you may be able to move along to the next step
could just be a SOD (sleep of death)

Did u try hold the power? It'll reboot?then hold volume down about 10s.it should go to bootloader
2nd Option: use all-in-one tool kit.it has a command to reboot.

If it can't boot or use adb command.i think u should contact with HTC for helps,or at least where u buy the mobile. And of couse u still have Warranty.
It may be a hardware problem.We here can only try if it is a software problem.at ur position,the device can't be recognized by Computer/Laptop (before this,it worked well right?),then i think bad luck.
Don't be despair, it'll have some way to solve.

Sorry to tell you man the same thing just happened to me. I just got a replacement from T-Mobile. You will not get that thing back on. Just call T-Mobile and tell them it won't power on nor will it charge. It's funny because I was adding music to mine when it happened. If it happened the same way mine did then you will notice it was really hot when it shut off. The MDJ kernel overheated the Processor and killed it. Once that happens the device is a useless brick. I'm trading my replacement for another phone because this phone happens to overheat a lot.

Time for a new Sensation?

My Sensation seems likes its been going down the tube. A few weeks ago, I started having WiFi issues, where the WiFi would disconnect for no apparent reason. it would still scan and see the networks, but refuse to connect to anything. Sometimes it would totally bork itself and get stuck saying "turning WiFi off/on...".
Next up is reboot issues. For no apparent reason, my phone freezes, then reboots. Here's the best part: if it happens once, it happens again just second after rebooting, and again, and again, and again. I have to pull the battery to make it temporarily stop.
Next up is the battery: Recovery and system tell me two different things. Upon taking it off the charger this morning, recovery told me 62%. I turned my phone off, then booted back into recovery a half hour later. 22%. A couple minutes later, 4%. I booted into Android, it tells me 40%. WTF?
Also, sometimes the mobile data will drop entirely and I'll be stuck with no data.
These issues occur no matter what ROM I'm on, I flashed fouf different ROMs and the same crap happens. I've even went to CM9.0.0, since its the most stable thing I have ever used.
What could be the problem? I'm going to use my myTouch 4G meanwhile, but I love my Sensation. What's wrong with it? These issues popped up out of nowhere, I wish they would go away. If worst comes to worst, I'll just send my Sensation in for repair, since I'm still under the 1 year warranty until next month.
Any suggestions guys?
P.S.: I typed this on a Wii U. Forgive any errors.
try a new battery? i think your best bet is to send it back to warranty before it expires, but you need to flash stock rom and s-on again.

Yep, I flashed 3.33 universal and had to reflash my ROM thanks to the partition changes. Same **** is still happening. Going to try get S-ON again and flash an RUU, then try to send it in to HTC. This phone is freaking awesome but the WiFi cutouts, the reboots, and the sudden deaths are just killing me. This thing went from over 50% to 4% this morning in just a reboot, then it took an hour to drop to three percent. My phone needs some serious help.
Mine is doing the same still. Shuts down and loses all battery a few restarts then it seems fine for a few hours. Weird

Just flashed the RUU. Going to chill here for a while and see how it works out, even with HTC's ****ed up multitouch in the kernel. I just want my phone to work. Plus, I had rolled back to ICS about three weeks ago, HyperNonSense to be exact, mainly for the Sense camera. You just can't beat HTC Sense's camera. It's the one thing keeping me from ditching HTC Sense.
Flashed the RUU, but still getting the same result. Going to just turn S-ON and revert superCID and send this to HTC.

So something nice and odd happened... Kept it in Airplane mode for a day (unintentionally) since I had my SIM and SD Card in my myTouch 4G... And suddenly it works great. Gotten through the day so far with no WiFi drops or reboots. Just putting it out there for reference, since I see a handful of people with the same issue. It might help to Forget all networks prior to going into Airplane mode.
Spoke too soon. Lost WiFi, no reboot though. Just going to send it in.
maybe you have faulty wifi hardware, which in turn is draining your battery?? just a guess, sucks to hear tho man

[Q] Unit Doesn't Seem To Power On

Hey guys hopefully someone can help me out a little because I am stumped right now and have been for a couple days. I had a stock Verizon S3 on 4.3 and was wanting to unlock it so I rooted it which went fine. I updated SuperUser, verified I had root access and then proceeded to use EZ-Unlock for the S3 which also seemed to go just fine as it said the device had been unlocked. Well I had planned on giving the phone to someone so I went into the settings and did a factory reset so it would be all cleaned out and ready for someone else. It seemed to work fine, did it's thing and then of course rebooted, well it never did come back on so I decided after a few minutes to turn it back on myself which I then discovered it wouldn't turn back on.
I've tried plugging it in to the wall charger for a while which did nothing, the light doesn't even come on. I've plugged it back into a couple of different PCs which make the noise like a device has been connected, even installed the S3 drivers on the computer that didn't have the drivers but still no charging light and it doesn't show up in the adb device list. Today I decided to take the battery out and plug it into the wall which does turn the charging light on for a little bit but of course the phone doesn't start up at all, it was a long shot but I've tried everything I can think of so I'm hoping someone here can maybe help me out. Thank you to anyone that is willing to read this and let me know what they think.

I updated SuperUser, verified I had root access and then proceeded to use EZ-Unlock for the S3 which also seemed to go just fine as it said the device had been unlocked. Well I had planned on giving the phone to someone so I went into the settings and did a factory reset so it would be all cleaned out and ready for someone else. It seemed to work fine, did it's thing and then of course rebooted, well it never did come back on so I decided after a few minutes to turn it back on myself which I then discovered it wouldn't turn back on.
I've tried plugging it in to the wall charger for a while which did nothing, the light doesn't even come on. I've plugged it back into a couple of different PCs which make the noise like a device has been connected, even installed the S3 drivers on the computer that didn't have the drivers but still no charging light and it doesn't show up in the adb device list. Today I decided to take the battery out and plug it into the wall which does turn the charging light on for a little bit but of course the phone doesn't start up at all, it was a long shot but I've tried everything I can think of so I'm hoping someone here can maybe help me out. Thank you to anyone that is willing to read this and let me know what they think.
