Hey all, I just got through with this hurricane sandy business and now I find my phone not working at all. First off I'd like to say that there is no water damage to this phone and it is NOT rooted. The problem is that it just won't turn on at all, and won't charge when I try to charge the device. The day before I charged the phone and it worked fine. I can provide more details if needed but I need to find a solution to this.
Did it run down on battery completely before it did this? You might need to charge it for a bit before it turns on. Also, see if you can get your hands on a spare battery to see if it's the battery's problem. I would also try removing the battery and putting it back just to make sure it wasn't jostled loose.

Two days ago I completely let the battery drain on its own because it was draining faster than usual and I was using it very minimally due to the lack of phone signal during the power outage. And yesterday I charged it until it was 100% in the morning and at night I charged it again until 100%. Before I went to bed, I turned off my phone and it was 90% and when I turned it on in the morning it was at 77% (which I thought was weird since the phone was not even on). Now the phone will not work at all. I took the battery out and everything. I even tried turning the phone on while trying to charge it (but it would not charge). The only feedback I got was that it vibrated when I tried turning it on this afternoon and after that was nothing. (it would either get stuck at the AT&T bootup part or I would get no display at all)

And nothing happened to it in between at all? That's very odd. The only thing I can think of to try is another battery.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

Nothing I can think of. It was fully charged by 9PM the other night and shut off before I went to bed. Next morning the batter is nearly halfway drained for no apparent reason. I think I will get another battery to test.
Also I let the battery sit out of the phone for a few days now and the phone still does not work.

Get a hold of a charged battery, then after 1 hour with no battery in the device, replace the battery remove the SD-Card and the SIM-Card, replace all covers. Reboot your PC and go to firewall tab in the control panel and turn of your firewalls, then reboot your PC, then using USB data cable not a charging cable.. with your device being OFF conect to a USB connection in the back of your PC, if it's a laptop use the one next to the intranet connection. Then wait about 1min. If nothing happwned, hold the volume down button then press and release the power button. if nothing happened, hold the volume up then press and release the power button. If nothing happened do the samething this time by holding both up and down volume buttons. If nothing happened with your device connected to the PC go to MY Computer tab right click on C>Properties then go to tools click on check disc tab check mark both options then restart your PC. Before windows tour OS starts, your PC will go through a self check. let it do its thing. it takes a couple of hours. then after its down check to see if it has seen your device. if not then do procedures above once again. GOOD LUCK.

Okay so I finally got it to turn on but in order to charge it, the phone must be turned off for some reason. Also, the touch screen is not working, even after I did a hard reset and erased all my data. I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue or a software issue because the display is working fine.

That same thing happened to a friend of mine. She took it to a technician tho and they sorted it out for her.
Hello every one, this just my first post here, but I have been follow the forum very very close since some days ago thanks to Mustaavalkosta and his new CyanogenMod Rom here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533007&page=283.
I am having a similar problem with my HTC Inspire, here is my story. I bought it like it a year ago, the first thing I do was to rooted with AAHK and install CyanoyenMod cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-ace. Everything works just fine till a couple of months ago. One night I just leave my Inspire and go to sleep, the next morning I wasn't able to turn on, not charging, not turn on. Was not the battery because my brother has another Inspire and I check with his battery. I just leave the phone without the battery and Sim and SD for a day and them come back again, but at next day the same occurs. I try all that time, vol down+power. voldown+volup, every convination but nothing works. So I decide to dissensambly my phone... in the process I broke the ribbon flex cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-HTC-Desire-HD-Inspire-4G-Camera-Socket-Keypad-Membrane-PBC-Ribbon-Flex-Cable-/320925341841?pt=US_Cell_Phone_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4ab8a41891 The phone was in parts on my table like a month till I was able to buy and recieve the ribbon (I live in Colombia). Finally the ribbon arrives 3 days ago, so I assembled the phone again and...magic! the phone turns on. My next step was install the Mustaavalkosta Rom that I mentioned before.... but, yesterday, my phone was dead again. So a try all steps again, put out the battery, Sim and Sd... and again try all the combinations of buttons, but nothing works... So I do it again: dissensably again my phone: Only disconnecting the display doesn't works... I have to disconect the display and the ribbon cable, assembled again and just turn on again.... Now I am waiting for the next black out...
I know is a weird behavior, but may be some one can point me in some direction to fix it.. I am not a developer or anything like that, but I like to investigate and solve problems... any help will be wonderful.
Cheers!
PD: I dont have any apps installed, just trying the Rom as it is.
PD: The next time it happens I will try the niavaran advises.
Hoping someone can help, haven't found any threads about this particular problem.
I bought a used "One X" that was totally stock and seemed to work OK. I rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, and got S-off. I then installed the newest version of Viper XL. Everything worked fine for a while but after a couple days I went to use it and it was totally dead. Battery was half charged a minute before and now nothing. Plugged it into a wall charger and USB and got nothing, not even an orange light. After trying to reboot and hard reboot it for 20 minutes I quit and just plugged it in and left it.
Checked it a few hours later and it was still the same but just for fun I tried a hard reboot again and it launched right away. It worked with no problems for another day and then same thing. When I got it restarted this time I downloaded and ran the latest RUU exe file to eliminate any problems the Roms might be causing, but no, just happened again today and was hours before I got it restarted, this time just by holding the power button.
Any ideas? All help appreciated.
Its somewhat of a known problem, but unfortunately an unknown cause, and I haven't seen any real solutions. Battery drops suddenly, no LED light, but charging for several hours brings it back. Usually happens at night, for some reason. But yours seems much more frequent than other cases I've heard. I've maybe only had this happen twice in the year+ I've had this phone. If this keeps happening every day, or close to that, its obviously a big problem.

One extra detail I left out. The phone seems to be truly off, as when I get it restarted it doesn't appear the battery was drained at all. It's basically a brick that randomly decides to come back to life. Even if I only leave it plugged in for 15 minutes and then unplug it and try restarting again, it basically comes to life with a full battery.
Strange. Maybe related to the issue I mentioned, maybe something different.
Since you ran the latest RUU, don't think there is much else that can be done. Might be a hardware issue. I would tell the seller and see how they respond. They will probably swear they didn't have the issue. But it doesn't hurt to bring it up.
My problem is little different but almost same.

Put the phone on the wall charger (not connected to your computer) for several hours (overnight) and see if there is any change.
Not sure if it's the same problem, but I had something similar happen a couple days ago while on CM 10.2 nightly:
Sudden power drop
I threw a couple logs in there, just in case they were useful.

Try the bootloader button combination. Then try it while connected to the wall charger. Similarly, just try booting normally while connected to the charger. It makes no sense, but I've seen at least one guy where this worked (bootloader button combo while connected to charger), when nothing else would make the phone boot.
Other than that, its not looking good. No LEDS, and the phone can't be read by the computer, you're pretty done. Odd that just connected to USB did this. Maybe some hardware failure related to the USB port?

Yeah even i can't digest the fact that making my phone S-off installing CM 10.2 didnt do any bad but a connection to USB killed my phone
Hi guys. For the past three days, I have a weird problem. When I am charging my transformer, it seems to not go above 59%. At first I thought it maybe was a bug, as it happened a short time after installing and running BOINC for android. The thing is, I also put it in my phone, which is an older SE xperia x10i, with no such problem. I even changed a power outlet, but no change, still stuck at 59 % in overnight charge, once it hit that number it stopped showing that it was charging. Also, I uninstalled BOINC and the problem didn't go away.
Any help is appreciated!

I just got mine back form the factory (refurb that had tons of flickering issues first week i got it) and after I got it back I updated and mine does the same thing. at first I thought it just didn't charge with the screen off but now that you said 59% it always seems to be at 59% i've tried both charging it with the original wall wart and cable, and trying to use the keyboard dock but it's the same both times it stops at 59

Update *FIXED*
I got mine back from RMA, it had 4.1.2 on it, there was an update though so I did it (with the keyboard dock plugged in, not sure if that is important) I never used it before the update so I'm not sure if it was the update or that's just a problem with how it was shipped back to me, but it would consider 59% a full charge and stop charging.
Fix
Factor reset, seems to work fine now, at 80% and climbing I'll report back if anything else happens.
Thanks for the response. I was kinda hopping I wouldn't have to factory reset, I takes quite some time to reroot and restore from TB. At least, it's good that it seems to be software and not hardware related, at first I thought that maybe something on my charger had snapped and it wasn't providing adequate voltage for the remaining 41%.
Update, everyday i do a factory reset, it works fine but the next day it won't charge, this had happened twice.
Factory reset fixes it but the next day it's broken again.
i'm going to run down the battery and see if it will charge up to 59% and get stuck there again or if it just doesn't charge overall. So before you go factory reset and setup all your apps give it a few days and make sure it works right.

Funny thing, my tablet actually started charging back to 100% again. Or, to be more accurate, the indication is 100%, I haven't run performance tests to see the actual charge level. I have no idea what caused it or if it fixed itself permanently.
Hi all, I'm experiencing a problem with my nexus 5 at the moment.
I was using it until the battery got to 1%, then I turned off the screen and plugged it into the charger. But apparantly I was too late because the phone was turned off, so I turned it on.
After the google logo a firmware update screen appears. At the top it says Firmware Update, and below an USB-logo it says: "Do not unplug the USB connection until the progress is complete". Below that there's a progress bar, and below that there's a square/box with 'B1' in it.
I have no idea why my phone wants to update. I'm running 4.4.2 completely stock android, not rooted. No images of ROMs or stuff like that anywhere on my phone. It's still on 0%, and has been for the last 20 minutes. (at first I thought it might be waiting for a minimal battery charge to perform the update but you'd think it would be enough by now).
Does anyone know what this is or how to fix this?
I'll see if I can revive my old phone to make a picture of the screen

Try restarting the phone. The low battery might have caused the update screen to appear. The wall plug is not a USB connection.

I'm scared to do it because that screen specifically says not to do it. But I don't think I have a choice in the matter, because it's still stuck on that screen. I'll be reporting back with good news I hope.
Ok what I did is keep the phone plugged in, and held the power button for 5-10 seconds. It rebooted normally, so I can use my phone again.
Thanks for you help!

I have done all that but it just gets stuck on the black background with Google on it.
My phone did the same thing, and it said keep connected to power so i unplugged it and then tried holding the power button but nothing happened. eventually my phone died again and now when i plug it in the little notification light is flashing red. what do i do?
The red flashing light is a dead battery. Recharge it.

Hello everyone, I seem to have a problem with my phone, This has been happening since last night. The day I woke up, everything was perfect, then around mid-day, I charge my Note 5 through my computer, then every 1-2 seconds my computer starts playing the disconnected/reconnected sound, and on the other side, the Note 5 flashes on showing that it's charging with a vibration. So I remove the charger, and then the phone continues to flash on with a vibration and saying that it's charging repeatedly, even when the nothing is connected. It also shows the neat little charging animation on the bottom of the screen when you charge it. So in conclusion, when charging, it rapidly disconnects/reconnects flashing the lock screen, with a vibration and charging animation, however upon removing charger, effects still apply. (Appears to be charging when nothing is plugged in. Any tips or advice will help. Thanks.
*Side question: my Note 5 is still in the Lolipop update, and when I go to software updates in settings to check for any updates, It doesn't find any. My Note is a Verizon. Is there any other way to update it? Thanks again.

Get a different USB cable before the one that came with it ends up ruining the phone! The one that came with it is junk! You can update the phone using Odin on a Windows computer by downloading the correct file from the firmware update thread.

Okay, I tried using a different cable, I think it worked? It doesn't turn on with the spamming disconnected/reconnected charging, the problem still occurs when I take out the charger. It still turns on with the charger disconnect/reconnect. Any solutions for that? Thanks!

Try to update using Odin on a Windows computer but it sounds like the USB cable already did the damage. You can try to factory reset it.
