sensation not working, no led light, is it a brick?

hey ev1
yesterday i was using my sensation without problem. ate a dinner in the shopping center and after that i tried to call someone but when pressing the power button on the sensy nothing happened. then when i went to the car tried to charge the phone but no led light came on (orange charging led). I'm unable to power on the fone since then.
anyone experienced the same and was able to solve the problem without taking the phone to warranty?
i had android revolution hd latest rom. and my phone is from ebay, my best guess is that it's unlocked but not from the factory, and that voids the warranty in my country, so I'm not sure what to do.
tnx for helping in advance

remove battery for little while, place it back and try charging again
if it doesn't light up, just leave it there a little while ... 15mins? 30mins?
try and power up after. gd luck

I think it's CWM (not charging when off)

did something like that, charged it for whole night but no success...
if the battery is totally dead would the charging led light up? or the phone powers up?

Try plugging the phone in via usb or ac. Then try the battery pull and power up. You may need to either buy a battery charger or another battery to power up so you can get into recovery and flash a different clockwork version.
It sounds like the clockwork charging issue.

Once you get it started make sure you have the latest recovery. You can update using Rom Manager.

well it seems its not the battery. put an evo3d battery inside which is fully charged and it still won't turn on phone into the trash i think
or you have any other ideas?

Not into the trash, back to HTC or send it to me! ;-)

I would try using adb to see if that will at least connect to the phone and go from there, or find someone willing to try and trick their local phone phone shop, I think the fools in my local carphone warehouse would swap it for a new one

Hmm, I think then something might of gone bang! I would try tricking a phone shop

By tricking the phone shop I mean find someone who got theirs from a retailer with insurance and get them to go to the shop and kick up a fuss, shop should just replace it, not that I would condone such underhand antics, or do such a thing myself ;-)

I repair phones for a living and I have personally seen 4 sensations come in for this exact reason.
it seems, even mid-use, that it powers down for some reason, and just doesnt come back. It happens to rooted and non-rooted alike, and I threw my entire arsenal at these things and they dont respond again. it jsut seems to be a factory defect. One that I really hope doesnt happen to mine :[
sorry to say, but in my professional opinion, theres not a lot you can do

I seem to have the same issue.
Did a Reboot, and then no more.
Had the Charger cable in.
Now the only thing that happens when i connect to USB, is a QHSUSB_DLOAD device ( Unkown device , no driver found. )
I only had it for 1 day...
Edit: now i have to wait 2 to 5 working days for a new one. poor me.
Put a multimeter to the battery, 4,6Volt so no problem there.

I had rooted my friends Sensation and running a Android Revolution. The same thing happened to her phone I'm trying to boost the battery to see if I can get some action but, it's not looking good.
She had insurance on the phone and said she lost it, so she's getting a new one, but I'm glad to know that it might have happened anyways. I wasn't overclocking the phone, and I didn't flash a new radio (which are two things that can cause bricks right?)
Is there anything else I might try? Use it as a paperweight? lol
Edit: To clarify, the phone was working fine, and just randomly rebooted and then became completely unresponsive. My friend battery pulled as it was completely frozen, when she put the battery back in, nothing happened. No LED when charging, no booting, nothing.

Hey so did you or your friend manage to fix her phone or find the cause? I've been flashing Windows Mobile Roms before and Sensation is my first Android phone, I definitely want to flash Custom Roms on it too, but these random bricks are putting me off for now.

I work for the bestbuy group and i can tell you that if it was bought in the uk, it should be absolutely fine to send back, so long as it hasn't got water damage it would be cool to send off.
HTC decide if it's under warranty and whether or not it has liquid damage.
An engineer won't touch it (in carphone warehouse) if they're not qualified.
If your in the UK, call this number 08719090109 it's a lot quicker than going into a carphone warehouse, you'll wait 2 weeks if you go in store, 4 - 5 days if you call that number and ship it yourself.
Some carphones have fools working for them, but believe me lad, i'm no idiot.

A bad idea, the person in the shop will do an ESN check and see that the phone wasn't even bought from them, or a return, ppl try these things all the time, they don't get away with it, unless the consultant is an absolute mushroom.
My advice, just send the thing back to HTC.

Shouldn't make any difference, are you in the UK? We're they from the UK? You will have to send it back to the place where they bought it from, it's less than a year since the sensation was released so it is certainly under warranty.
Just send it back after you've tried everything, and it seems that you have.
Did you try boosting the battery? Sometimes this has an effect, although it would seem from what you've said that something a little more difficult to fix has gone wrong.
Hope you get it sorted.
PS: Don't go into a carphone and tell them that you bought it from them, because they'll check and you'll look like a div, find out where the person on ebay bought it from and send it back to there with the advice sheet / receipt you got from ebay to HTC or at least call / email to see what's required to send it back.
Good luck m8.

[Q] Phone is DEAD!

My phone will not switch on. The battery is fully charged, i checked it with a reliable voltmeter and it read 3.7 volts. I put a different working battery from a different working sensation and still nothing. The led does not come on when i connect it to the charger and i am losing patience.
The back story is, yesterday i flashed SENSEay onto my phone and all was good. I used titanium to restore the apps, no data, I made a backup and left the phone alone for a while. I decided later on that i was going to play a game of samurai vengeance, but to do so i had to install chainfire3d. I did this and tried to install the beta part of chainfire, unfortunately this caused a bootloop. I pulled the battery and went into recovery to restore, restore went fine and my phone was back to working. Before i went to bed i put my phone on charge and when i woke this morning the bugger would not switch on. Because it has happened during the night i have no idea what occurred to kill it, all i do know is that no-one else has played with it. What the hell has happened to my phone?
All help will be gratefully accepted.

Your in the same boat as me buddy
I started going through the same issue yesterday, finally gave up and called HTC. Your phone (like mine) should still be under factory warranty with HTc so they are willing to fix it for free. I am gonna send mine in but am hesitant because idk if they will be able to tell if its rooted or not.

I have no idea if they will be able to tell if its rooted. What have you tried to get your phone to power on? Most threads with similar problems seem to be battery related, but thats not the case with my phone.

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

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.

Thanks everyone for the help... At least I know what I have going on... Already started re-downloading a buttload of stuff to get back on track. I don't normally backup my Nandroids or my TB files to my PC, maybe I should start.
Going tomorrow to the Tmo store to get the replacement sent overnight.

[Q] Sidekick 4g Bootloop Please Help!!!

I am not rooted on this phone I am on stock 100% I have done nothing with this phone since purchased.. I did not try to install anything on this phone that could have caused this. But yesterday it just started on this bootloop. The screen just shows the T-mobile sidekick 4g logo then to black and over and over .... I have pulled the battery put it back in and it immediately bootloops. I don't even have to power on . It even bootloops with the charger plugged in the battery symbol bootloops. I tried to put the device into bootloader (pwr vol up/dwn) to do a factory reset. but the bootloader screen just flashes on for a second and then it goes right back into the bootloop.
It appears as if this is bricked but how is that possible on a stock device? I called t-mobile and they could not help. All they wanted to do is sell me a new phone.
Please help

@karose465 How old is the phone? If less than a year (doubtful), it should still be under warranty. Or you may be eligible for upgrade pricing: Fore example, "Customers with a Classic plan (two-year contract) are eligible for our lowest upgrade price on a new phone when at least 22 months have passed since their last phone upgrade. A new two-year contract is required to take advantage of best upgrade pricing. Of course, you can always upgrade a phone at any time, regardless of how many months have passed since your contract began."
For more info on Heimdall, just Google Heimdall Android.

Anyone with a sidekick contract ends earliest next march..

I think for him and myself, the biggest problem is being unable to get the phone to stay in download mode. For some reason, the battery won't charge and the phone itself continously turns off and on when plugged in. So the charge isn't holding, therefore nothing will stay on/open.

Im having the same problem. I have searched everywere and cannot find an answer that will fix it. If anyone can please help us fix this issue.

my Sidekick 4G is very old and just now went into bootloop... i googled the word and came across this forum.
As quoted above by previous poster that a power button repair was needed... I figured that I had nothing to lose, it being so old, I smashed the crap out of the Sidekick 4G on its power button. Lo and Behold, it booted into the system successfully.
SO... if no one has any qualms about smashing the crap out of their power button... give it a shot. It worked for me.

Mines stuck in a boot loop too.
I don't know if my Sidekicks problem is related to this or not. I rooted it and flashed it over to Glorious Overdose v5 on May 22nd this year and it's been running great. At least it was until last Friday, Sep 13. I was having trouble connecting to the WiFi at my house so I rebooted the phone. When it started to come back up a female voice started saying, "VooDoo lagfix has been disabled." "Converting /data and /system partitions." "Conversion time estimated 10 minutes."
I let it do it's thing and that's all it's been doing all weekend. I can get into recovery mode, I've tried restoring the phone from my backup with no success. I've even tried running through the process of setting up GOv5 again and it says it's successful, but the phone never boots up. It just stays in the same blasted bootloop and saying the same things over and over again about VooDoo. I've checked the VooDoo logs and there is an error file for the 13th and the logs following say "conversion." Can someone point me in the right direction as to what I can do to get my phone working again? Everything I've tried to research so far hasn't worked.

v5 hold both volume button, the track button and power button. Should put you into recovery mode. If not, you will have to put phone into download mode. You do this by taking out battery, then pluging into computer. When you reinsert battery hold volume down and power, if I remember correctly, and your download screen should come up. From your cp manually unroot it. Then it should be fixed, and just reroot it. I hope this was helpful

Hey, MythEdge. I'm not sure if you get notifications here or anything, but I registered to this site specifically to thank you; my phone ( Sidekick 4G, like OP ) bricked, and I smashed it against the table a few times ( you know, delicately... ) and it resurrected.
So thank you, sir; you were precisely correct. It worked on both of my phones, which had the exact same problem.
Just, wow. Thank you.

And almost a year later I log in and see this. Your most welcome. I haven't been working on phones for awhile but if I remember right, some models can be powered on by plugging the phone into a power source and when the phone vibrates or has a sign of life unplugging the unit. Some cables don't work and sometimes doing this via a computer can power up a device. Other than that, the other more dangerous way is to short out the pins on the bottom of the unit. I don't remember the pins but you can google a charge port diagram to help. I don't recommend doing this unless you have absolutely no other choice. Incidentally, this is why a phone will power itself on when a battery is put in and no other button is touched. The port is wet and corrosion has caused a link on the power pin and believe its pin 3. A simple cleaning with 90%+ rubbing alcohol solution will fix if cleaned quick enough.

It's possibly the vibrate motor. It's not unheard of for them to go out.

+1. Hardware issue.
Still Charged Up

sounds like a personal problem - wore out your vibrator... j/k
never heard of that though - have you tried reflashing the ROM or resetting your sound settings?

tried everything but refreshing back from ep4. I was really hoping it wasn't hardware. wtf do I do now? haha

If you rule everything else out and it is the motor, it can be replaced if you don't mind a little disassembly. It's typically one of the easier repairs to do. In most phone, it's just a little round, flat cylinder, about the size of a small watch or hearing aid battery, clipped to the motherboard and connected by two wires.

how much would that cost and where do I buy the motor?

I'm pretty sure the motor is actually integrated (as in soldered) onto the board. Assuming you can actually find the motor, it's going to be a PITA desoldering and soldering that sucker. Why not just get your Charge replaced?

In the middle of re-partitioning with the PIT pull the plug and disconnect all battery sources.
When you turn it back on It will say to connect to the computer and download mode will not

But yeah, that'll work, but make up some other excuse than taking the update, FP5 is too mature for this to work, but then again a VZW employee likely wouldn't know on a phone this old.

I use swap and my vibrate works just fine.
Sent from my AOSPA N7 controlled by Metallice's a32 Kernel.

I've had my charge since the day after it came out haha waiting on the s4 to upgrade I don't think they'll give me any more charges (I'm on #4). But not having vibrate sucks. I did hear that swap was doing this to some people and I have swap activated, I'm going to try that out for size, will report back

so i don't think replacing my charge is a possibility (unless I pull the this phone is f#@$!ng terrible card) which I'm not in the mood to do. Also, disabling swap did not help wiped dalvik also just in case that could affect anything. I was scared my phone stopped accepting charge and was about to re-partition my phone last night but it was 4am and my phone decided to work again so that's probably the last thing I can do and I'll do it when I've got some free time this weekend and report back for anyone having this same issue.
on a semi-related note what are you guys planning on upgrading to? I want to wait for the moto x but would rather get the S4 because I like what samsung has been doing with extra features in their version of android, but also the HTC M7 looks super appealing and its not mumbo jumbo like the s4

I'm holding out for another Verizon Nexus to come around.

I went with the ThunderBolt. HUGE ROMS but still one of the best LTE phones out ( as in being like a tank and being sturdy)
