[Solved] Sensation won't charge when turned off (not fastboot) after S-Off

Just rooted my Sensation and everything went just fine. Achived root and all my root apps works. But:
Yesterday I got my Evo 3D battery and to give it the best start possible i turned the phone off (took out the battery and put it back in) to charge it overnight.
When I woke up this morning the phone wouldn't turn on and the led was blinking orange. Luckily I had my old battery so I could just pop that in to get the phone going. Tried to turn the phone completely off with this battery and this won't charge either. Charging will work just fine when the phone is turned on.
Looked over to the Evo 3D forum and there are several users experiencing the same problem.
Anyone got a solution?
Solution: Get the new Clockwork Recovery mod- v4.0.1.5

Same here. Kinda sucks! Hope a fix comes. do you have a link to the thread in the evo 3d section?

Same problem here, on a UK Vodafone Sensation with ENG S-OFF

my phone charge when off maybe somthing went wrong with you guys s-off

Mine charges when off as usual.
T-Mo S4G

Might be seeing the same thing on my S-off Bell Sensation when truly off (not just screen off or HTC fastboot off)...will need to do some more testing to see what is going on...

Samen here.
Phone is off, light goes orange and after 3 sec it starts flashing orange.

It only happens when the phone is truly off. Shut down in the menu doesn't turn the phone off, only hibernates it.

same happened to me, managed to get back in by going into fastboot then recovery then android.
was nearly a trip into town to buy an universal charger.

I just flashed the RCMix3D Aztec ROM by capychimp and my Sensation charges while completely off
EDIT: OK, no it doesn't. An orange light showed up after I removed the battery and inserted the cable, but I looked down and it had gone off. No luck when I put the cable back in, either

Can anyone help as to how to get my phone to turn back on??? Same as everyone else...i get a blinking orange light but it wont turn on!!! Please help!!!

Try removing the battery then turning on as normal.

I too was having this issue. Turned my phone off last night and put it on the charger only to wake up to a phone with the flashing orange light. I pulled the battery 3 times to get it to work and still couldn't get the phone to turn on. Finally I plugged my phone into the charger and left it for about 15 minutes and the phone was then able to turn back on. For some reason the phone never charged last night and the battery was dead, which is why the orange light was blinking.
Edit: Just tried to turn phone off again and charge it and now it's blinking green/orange. Guess I'll just have to charge it while it's on from now on until this is figured out.

ordered one of these just in case so i won't have this worry in future.
universal phone battery charger.

I do not recommend to use "universal" chargers for lithium-ion, lithium polymer batteries.
This can significantly reduce their lifespan.
P.S.
Tmous Sensation, S-OFF (Rev).
Remove -> insert battery, charging working with phone off =\

well im experiencing the same thing when phone is completely off but i was also reading in the htc vo 3d thread that their having the same issue and one person flashed a different recovery img and confirmed that its now working so im guessing the recovery img on the sensation is the problem why it isnt working.

Mine won't charge while off. No biggie since I'm used to that with NAND on my HD2.

Does this mean you cannot charge the phone at all if the phone is off and the battery is completely drained?

Battery dying !!!

I have a lot of battery issues lately... For info I have my xt720 for 1year and 3mouth i buy right after motorola release it
So if that can help someone...:
This is my first post with my first battery "blackout"...
My phone is dead !!!!
i don t know what to do!
It don t want to charge anymore
This morning i notice it wasn t fully charge after going out but i came back before it die so I plug it i had about 10% left
5min after it make me some no battery alarm ( 3 or 4) like if the phone was not plug anymore i replug it. it works but without moving it it stop charging
It reboot but with 5% battery and die
Now i can t boot anymore
Sometimes my led light but it never boot...
I hope it s only my usb cable or my electric plug that is causing it but i don t think so since i don t touch it when it stop charging...
I don t know what to do!!
It was my only phone...
The next day:
My phone come back to life after one night without battery...
Don t ask me why but this morning it charges like always....
I think its a motorola ota update... loool it s time to change !!!
The evening of the same day i plug it as always (it works well all the day) and not any problem
but this morning (the next day morning) my phone was out (black screen and not any reaction when power on or when pluging it...)
I remove the battery about 10minutes then i plug it and it works (it take about 1hour to start but the battery was totally empty so this is normal)
I m not sure what i m going to do right now...
I think the battery is the problem but i can t be totally sure.....
I hope the nexus prime will be release soon and worldwide...
I m going to try the new Mz CM7 and a battery calibration but i don t believe......

(If you remember the sellor......)

So I remember this from another thread yesterday and I had a similar problem. However my wifes is a bit different. Riddle me this. Her USB port is either not reading or not connecting. I checked her pins and plugged in my phone (works fines). I even went to /system/app/usb.apk and reinstalled. I even jiggled it softly, then wildly and then softly again to no avail.
Any ideas? We can take it in to CBW but man I hate that place with a passion. Would love for it to be something I can fix myself. At this point, i have to charge her battery in my phone and then swap them out until she either gets it fixed or replace the whole damn phone. I spent most of the night backing up her stuff last night (for some reason cannot do a nandroid of /system, data, cdrom, cache, cust or ext. Not sure what is the problem with that. She has 2.1 with app2sd script (much like ESB only not app2ext but rather app2sd)

This has happened to me a few times and freaked me out a little. Rebooting the computer (not the phone) worked, though. I think the USB stack on the desktops/laptops must get confused sometimes. It was even phone specific. One phone would work and the other wouldn't. After reboot both worked again. I feel myself becoming more and more superstitious.

Only other idea I have is swapping batteries to see if there's a chance the problem is there... that sucks. Sounds like what happenesld to HM.

Did that. Actually swap hers into my phone to charge it up and then put mine back. Sucks b/c she is a stay at home mom, so she needs her phone. Seems to me to be a hardware issue. Maybe something connecting the usb port to the phone. Short or bad wire or something like that. She's going to CBW to day to do battle.

if it's really a USB port problem, or lose contacts in the USB of the phone
you can always charge it with an external charger

Our carrier replaced it with a Nexus S, so I might be hitting you up for some suggestions. Easye420 mentioned that you turned him on to some things over there. I'll root it and unlock the bootloader tonight and check it out, then probably PM you.

The problem with ebay and all the internet sellors is that i will have to wait for 2 or 3 weeks to get it....
I will have to quickly go to Paris during the lunchtime (i hope i will find one)
For the info last news of my dying battery...
Now it can t boot with out being plug....
But when it s on then the battery always stay at 0%(I never see the 0 before my battery issue) even after 3 or 4 hours of charge
but a little bit fun when i plug it i have the battery charging animation and it show me that my battery is fully charged...

The end of the story...
I just get my new battery (a standard motorola the same as the stock) (cheap and very fast to get if there is someone having battery problem on Paris... let me know by pm)
and I think everything is coming back to normal...
I m not sure yet cause the battery% is acting weird but i think it s the calibration
When i first plug it it show me 50% after a boot it shows 0% but it was charging...
After another reboot it was at 90%....
My moto is making fun of me!!!
But i think everything will come back to normal after a full charge and discharge...
I will let you know

So you change it???
Did you make it work with charged battery???
I changed my battery and my phone don t boot anymore again
The first day i changed the battery it worked well i fully charge it and to calibrate it well i fully discharged it (until the phone shut down)
But now it don t want to charge again!!
When i plug it was booting at the beginning but after the boot it show 0% of battery and shut down after 10seconds
I test it 4 or 5 times and now it don t boot anymore
When i plug it sometimes it show me the animation with 50% of battery but it never move and shut down after max 5minutes (and now even this never happened)
I was asking myself about buying a battery charger like you say allgamer but i m not sure if that will work or if it s really broken
Now it don t have any reaction no matter what i try........
I don t know what to do i was waiting for the nexus prime but it will not shown up until at least 2 mouth (maybe more in France)

I think i read one time a guy who connect the power wire of an usb cable directly on the battery to charge it... It was a milestone battery i think (but its the same for the xt720)
Someone know something about that???
I m trying to recharg it only by connecting the wire to the battery...
We ll see... I don t have other solution for the moment (I try it before buying a battery charger)
I did this (bottom left)

After 1hour of "this way" charging
It seems to have charge but just a little (even if i plug it to the charger and not to usb. It is a lot faster when charging the phone)
I can boot it but it still don t charge (i was hoping it will charge again after the battery get a little more juice)
I have plug it another time i will let it charge for 3 or 4 hour it should let me boot and use it a little more i hope....

I had the same battery problem.
I did the same trick to boot up to flashing mode, and flash back to stock sbf.
After that, battery manage to recharge.

I think i m gonna buy a external battery charger. But that sucks it s about 50€ (i already spent 20€ for a battery...) and i m not sure that it will work...

What ROM do you have installed? I think some on the recent CM7's replace the charge_only_mode with a reverse-engineered non-motorola one.

It s still booting (i hope i m not in a bootloop i don t have the battery for...)
edit 2: the battery last enough to boot but it s the same...
Im gonna buy an external battery charger tomorrow.... I don t have any other choice...

Help ME!!!! IT DIED!!!!!!!!

Sorry for the over dramatic title, but it usually attracts in more views.
I'm from Canada, and was using a Lg Optimus 2x p999, which in the states is a tmobile G2x.
The first time i used nvflash, it went through, but the phone wouldn't boot clockworkmod. It just showed the stock android. I re-did it, and it began to work.
I installed cyanogenmod stable 7.10.1, then installed a nightly v.201. IT was in a boot loop, but clearing the cache fixed that. Next, i installed a bad theme that killed the phone (bootloop again). Finally, i reinstalled the nightly, then installed a theme from this site.
so, it had :
Cyanogenmod 7 nightly 201 for lg g2x,
colorized for most roms theme pack (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121299)
I plugged the sucker in over nighty to charge. It was around ~34% charged when i plugged it in. Now, i get absolutely nothing from it. I tried to plug it without battery, with battery, boot into clockwork, but the phone doesn't respond at all! it's as if it died over night

Might sound dumb but your 100% it was charging? I plug it in sometimes and it is not charging until I move or wiggle it... maybe it just died by the battery. Plug it in leave it for about 10 minutes see if the battery logo comes up. 2nd plug it in to the computer does anything happen computer recognize the device any signs of life?

i'm sending mine to lg tomorrow. thursday night i fell asleep to some talk radio with phone plugged in. friday morning,alarm woke me up as usual. phone was plugged in all night. on my way to work, battery died.???? i plug in my car charger and get nothing from the phone. i then notice the micro usb port is extremely loose. i left it plugged in for an hour or so and it finally booted. i couldn't get the charging screen unless i had the plug just a certain way.
so maybe just leave it plugged in for an hour or so and see what happens.

[Q] How to debug Infuse restarting randomly?

Hi,
I just bought a 2nd hand infuse 2 weeks back. I was using the stock GB for a while, and the phone was restarting sometimes. To fix this and get ICS features, I rooted and moved to the ICS CM9 ROM. Still the restarting didn't go away. I flashed everything before installing the rom. So, I guess this can't be an issue with either of the roms but probably something else. Also, when the restart happens the battery gets drained significantly.
After some searching, I saw in some threads that memory issues can do this or probably a bad app (I only have popular apps only though). I was wondering is there a way whether I can some info to debug the problem, when this restart happens?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

It might not be a ROM issue but a faulty power button. The are several threads on this. You may want to search "power button".

Hmmm, the power button seems to work alright. But if the power button is always pressed, I shouldn't be able to press it again and make it function properly, right? All the functions of the power button seem to be doing OK, i.e. menus pop up and it puts the phone to sleep mode, etc.
Is there anything more I can check to confirm that it is not the power button?

Is there a way to get a thread dump or any other log at the time of restart?
A few more details -
- I believe it goes to a boot loop when it restarts (loops from the cm logo back to samsung
- goes to a charge loop if I connect to a charger
- long holding the power button at this time restarts the phone and brings it back to normal
- I notice it happens a lot at the lock screen, but it happens at other times too,still to figure out a pattern

I have the exact same problem. Please let me know what you and people come up with.
Battery drops at least 4 or 5% after those random reboots.
I put liquid smooth JB on the infuse and was able to reduce the reboots to maybe 1 or 2 a day but the battery drain is still insane. from full to empty in 7 hours (but the battery usage says 17hrs, so please dont be confused, its really only 7hrs), texting, checking emails but nothing else. no music, or gps or anything that it intense.
The battery usage shows a constant battery drain, everything is at either 5 or 10% usage, except the screen which is at 42 - 60%

I've managed to get some logs when this happens using alogrec (attached). I haven't worked with the dalvik kernel or android apps much to understand what is going on.
I hope someone would be able to go through them and pick up something. My knowledge on the subject is not enough to pick whether anything is wrong here.
Also, I noticed sometimes the battery drops from around 30% to a whooping 5% when this happens. So, maybe this is a faulty battery problem??

I ordered a new battery and hope that this will fix the problem, if anyone knows anything else please let me know. the battery is only 1 year old.

I had similar symptom (reboot followed by battery indicating lower) once when I had applied too much undervoltage applied.

I've had the same things happen with my phone.
1) the huge drops in battery isn't an actual drop. 99% of the time if you don't plug in a charger the battery will start 'charging' on it's own until it gets to the right amount.
2) just because the power button works doesn't mean there isn't something wrong. The infuse is notorious for messed up power buttons. There is a thread around here somewhere about fixing it. I've not done it because I managed to get things under control.
3) I've noticed that the reboots seem to occur more frequently when a large number of apps ( popular or not) are installed, or apps that are resource intensive. For instance I bought minecraft because my daughter has become adducted to it. Sometimes its fine other times it freezes and reboots. My solution is to only keep apps I use on my phone. I will most likely uninstall minecract until a later date.
4) For me smaller ROMs work better. The current slimrom works the best for me. Also finding time to remember to reboot my phone once a day no matter how it is running helps.
I'm down to a reboot every one or two days now. Unless I try to play minecraft. I blame those damn creepers. Good luck!

OK so my reboots were because of my power button, I sent it in to mobiletech and they repaired it.
Now it's fixed and I have not had a single reboot.

HTC Sensation won't turn on!

Hy! I have a HTC Sensation that won't turn on. The phone is stock, was never rooted. It has 4.0.3 original update. So this happened like this: i had 1% battery left. The phone turned off. I turned the phone on, tried to make a call and the phone just died. I plug the charger and nothing. The orange light is off. I have tried everything, but the phone is dead. I have searched on google about this and it seems like a general problem but no one knows how to fix it. What do you think ?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

Hi,
Try taking out the sim card and the sd card.
Plug the phone into the wall ,and leave it for 5-6 hours.

This is normal
Just plug the phone back on the charger for about 30 minutes and the phone will come to life again.
Best of Luck

I have just pluget the phone into the wall. Hope it will work.
Anyway...I have read another post here and one dude was saying about "instant death syndrome" . Is that possible? I don't really belive that the phone can break just like that.

It hit into charge mode when the battery is detected again.just the battery out of juice,no big worries
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Yes. It has happened before exactly like that... strange I know. I've had this happen to me but was able to fix it. Here is my story. I had about 60%battery left when I plugged it into the charger. When I went to check on phone it was completely dead!! I had no charging lights anything! I happened to have another battery so I popped in the other battery and the phone sprang back to life! Very strange because it was a new battery inside my phone! You might want to give a new battery a try and see if it helps. As for the "instant death" the guy was talking about, what happens is that certain batteries have a trigger that if ran down too low they shut down and only special chargers can bring them to life again. I've read this my self you can google it. Now if that has an effect on our phone, I don't know but I've read numerous stories like yours and now I'm afraid to run my battery completely down in fear it will do this to my device. I hope you get your device working again. Do try another battery, it worked in my case. Best wishes

The battery is only 3 months old. When I bought the phone (from someone, not new) the old battery was trash. The new one is original, just like the old one. Is the first time it does that, never had problems with the new battery. After the phone died, i've checked the battery and had verry little power. I've tooked the battery out of the phone and charge it enough to turn on the phone, but it did not. Now the phone is pluget in the wall, as suggested. The orange light is off. Is like the phone is bricked and I really can't understand why. I had a Samsung Galaxy i9000, run out of battery, but as soon as I connected the charger turned on. Same with Galaxy i9100.

Keep the phone plugged in for atleast 1 hour and see if it starts to charge...
If it doesn't, you might want to try an external battery charger like this one....

I have allready tried that. The phone is still dead. Any more ideas ?

Use ur battery off all the way (til it shuts down) then remove ur battery n press the power button without the battery inna cell phone; like as if u were trying to turn ur phone on ordinarily. Then let da phone stay still over a night, or at least 5hourz WITHOUT THE BATTERY IN IT. Then re-insert the battery n plug the charger n see wah happenz.
Hope it's gonna work
