On Monday night I used the Juopunut bear S-OFF method successfully and then installed ClockworkMod Recovery and Cyanogen Mod 10. It was working like a dream I absolutely loved it. I restarted it many times etc and it worked completely fine, I had zero issues. However last night, I turned the phone off and then plugged it in to charge. When I woke up this morning I cannot turn it on, no matter what I do. When I plug it in to the charger the orange light turns on for about 1 second and then turns off. Is my phone bricked? Is my battery dead? Thanks in advance

try to boot into bootloader
if it enters then it is not bricked
and try this
remove battery,sim and sdcard and charge the device as it is for 5-6 hours
put them back and switch the device on
best wishes

I'm pretty sure it's not bricked. I've left it plugged in to my pc and the charing light is now flashing! I have hope that it will be ok How can you charge the phone without the battery?

the device itself has a little energy stored in case when the battery is fully uncharged
ok then if the led is showing red now boot to bootloader and select reboot
see how it goes

It's blinking orange every second, not completely charging. Should I just let it do that for 10 or 20 min? This is with the battery in btw

yeap leave it for a while
It works!
After letting it charge for about 20min while the orange led blinked on and off every second I unplugged it, held down the power button, and the beautiful HTC logo illuminated across my screen. I'm now up and running and the device is charging. I'm very glad I didn't buy a new battery for $40. I'm hoping this will never happen again but if it does I won't be alarmed. If anyone out there is having a similar issue do not fret!
Problems with HTC Sensation
My HTC Sensation has become unusable due to faults that have recently developed. I sent it off to HTC but apparently it has 'water damage' even though I've always been incredibly careful with it and never dropped it in a puddle or anything.
I'm new to this website so I'm not sure how to go about getting advice.
If someone could help me on how to get some answers it would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
I dropped my mobile in water, dried it with hair dryer left it fir a week and then it started again.

Well it looks like my sensation just killed itself and has gone to the mobile phone graveyard in the sky.
It was on about 85% battery just lying on the side, not charging, then suddenly the screen flashes, it turns itself off and then nothing.
I take the battery out for a while, put it back in , nothing. I connect the charger, it doesn't even light up to suggest it's charging.
Absolutely dead and it's 100% stock with no mods.. Oh well. Off to the HTC shop tomorrow..
Maybe the battery is completely dead. Try charging it for an hour, unplug the charger, and see if you could turn it on.
Can you get to the bootloader?
Try holding down the power button longer. Mine used to require a very long press to turn on.
Matt
held power button for 5 minutes and nothing lol
It had 85% battery then woosh.. a flicker.. and nothing
Sorry to hear that.. keep us updated.
Sorry to hear.. that suxx.. R.I.P poor Sensation
that's a sensational headline
Maybe it overheated. A friend's thunderbolt overheated and wouldn't turn on for almost 3 hours.

Well done HTC you done it again.
I think mine just did the same thing. WTF? I am rooted, flashed Android Revolution HD 1.1.7. Everything seemed fine. It reloaded all of my apps automatically and everything was fine. Was messing around in my office and went to check it and I was getting the "black screen" when I tried to wake it. Pulled the battery and it won't come on at all. Can't get into the bootloader or anything. Have it plugged into my computer with the USB and the LED indicator was flashing a few times, my computer recognizes it off and on but it has alerted me a couple of times now. Weird. I will leave it off for a little while and see if I can boot it back up.

I have the same situation with my phone. I also added the black and white circle batterymod from themes and apps section. I got it to boot when its on wall charger. Seems that itdrained the battery from about 75% to 0% in about 7 hours of idling when I was sleeping, luckily the alarm still worked, but the screen didn't go on before wall charging.
Hope this helps. Going to flash some other ROM, god I miss CM7.

That sounds like mine, apart from the charging bit
Took it to the HTC shop and they have to send it away to their "techie" people to confirm it's "dead dead" before they will replace.
Should be 10 days, could be 30.
If i'd bought it online from them apparently i'd have more rights and they'd replace on the spot.... nice......
Didn't even get a loan phone and this is one of HTC's "brand" shops, even detailed on their site. (
So not only you can have death grip and unresponsive screen...but now it's the whole phone that die??
How the hell I am supposed to switch from sgs2, I am too scared now

Ok I let my sensation(insert coin 2.2.1 stock kernal TMOUS) die. So last night I put it on the charger, and went to bed. I woke up and the light wasn't on, and it wouldn't boot up. So i unplugged it and plugged it in. Flashed orange led for a bit then it was solid for 5 or so seconds then it flashed twice and went off. I took out the battery and tried again same thing. Im pretty sure the chargers fine and I have a new batter on the way from T-MO but what do you guys thinks wrong here?

There is a way to jump start your battery to get it enough juice to turn on (search the forum). Or you can do what I did and borrow a mates Sensation and charge your battery in it for five minutes. That allows enough power to turn your phone on, and promptly plug it in and charge.
Do what Ross said but you need to reflash CWM 4.0.1.4 (blue) they fixed that version to charge the battery when phone is off or dead... 4.0.1.5 still has issues with charging while off or dead... Hope this helps

Plug phone Into computer. Open command prompt ..and type adb reboot
Works for me!
Thanks for the replies guys. I will hopefully get a battery by saturday. I'm a little to scared to do the jump start, with all the wire cutting and all. I was thinking that the clockwork mod(the orange one that I had out of no where) may have had something to do with it. Finnially I tried using adb...no luck. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Hello.
I have a problem.
The battery discharged and phone turns off.
I pluged wall charger and orange led blinking (about 20minutes now).
I just try to remove and reinsert battery, with no luck.
The phone won't turn on and orange led still blinking.
It's oryginal htc sensation battery, and have about half year.
Any help???
Maybe it's extremely drained, leave it on charge a bit more.

I´ve got this as well. You can fully charge your phone until the LED becomes green, and it wont start either.
Just pull out the accu after you charged it a bit and insert it again. Plugin the AC and start the Sensa as allways.
But now you will probably recorgnise, that your accu percentage is different to the infomation in power-menu...
If you have CWM on the phone it won't charge when fully drained - hence the flashing orange LED
You need to either use a separate battery charger OR (and this is what I did):
1. Remove the battery
2. Cut a strip of a fabric plaster (bandaid) and use it to cover the middle 2 contacts on the battery, making sure to leave to 2 outer ones free
3. Put it back in the phone
4. Put the phone on charge for 30 minutes
This should give it enough charge to boot up so remove the strip and turn the phone back on. Assuming it boots up, put it on charge until fully charged

Yep, I think also about this but.
"Charged" about 3hrs. Orange led was still blinking also.
So I remove the battery and try to boot in recovery.
It's incredible, phone enters into CWM!
I did the battery wipe, and restart the phone.
And it works! Phone boot up, and battery still charging from about hour now!
Are not the two centre contacts on the battery for the temperature sensor?
Covering these up on a faulty battery could be dangerous.
John.
It's just to get charge to be able to boot the unit, once you can boot it you remove the strip and the battery goes back to normal function. Trust me, I had to do it and it works!
Yes, I would do it myself to get my phone working, but it`s best to warn people to be careful.

The problem returns.
Sometimes I allow the battery to be discharged and the phone turned off.
What do you think? Problem is with any power management in the phone or battery?
I don't have second battery to test it now

This has just happened to me - battery drained overnight. I had plugged it in to charge before I went to bed but I must have knocked it free. Result is a completely dead phone that will not power on even if plugged in. Flashing orange light as described. Soooo....I cut a strip of plastic, covered the middle pins and put on charge. However I have a question....should there be any charge light with this middle pins covered up set-up
Thanks
When your phone runs out of charge it needs a sufficient amount of charge to even turn on
I get the blinking led all the time after my phone shuts down due to low battery.
Just let it blink and after 15 min or so it should become solid.

can u explain clearly what you are coming to say? ..
Help Please. I have been running this Trickdroid for quite some time. And thanks to such great battery life I have never seen my phone under 10%....until yesterday when it ran all the way down and powered it self off. ....now it will not take a charge tried all my different chargers even tried a rapid charger (Nex7 charger) and the charging LED never comes on. Will not even try to light up the screen when you hold the power button. I'm concerned about sending it in via TMO that they will fix it and find i unlocked and rooted it and charge me full price for my replacement. Any thoughts? Has this happened to anyone else on this ROM? Is there a way to revive it? Thanks.
Hold power button soft keys should light up then release after 3sec but it on charge and leave it there even if light doesn't come on and after awhile the light should come on

Yes mate K1llacannon is right mate i can totally confirm that.
I read from one dude with a HOS he left it sit there a full night with the charger connected and after that he could use it again. Apparently, the light will come on eventually but it will take a while until the battery has enough juice to boot the phones charging electronics. Before that, it will take power but show no indicator.
Also, i suppose it is some sort of emergency circuit that charges in the beginning and it is only charging at some minimum rate or something like that so it takes a while...

Thanks guys for the reply....I have tried this and the keys never flash and I left it plugged in all night last night and then again all morning on a different charger and still nothing,....ugh.
It now does do this when plugged into the PC: The PC will do the "durp drup" like its connected then do the tone again as if its not connected again. This cycle just keeps going. I tried to do some adb but keeps saying no device.

Try fastboot devices, adb only works when phone on and USB debugging enabled and in recovery sometimes. If it shows your device then maybe try fastboot reboot recovery or something.
My first One S was completely dead on arrival, no sign of life after charging it for 24 hrs straight with original charger (tested charger OK) and holding PWR for 10, 30 seconds and longer. Got a new one no questions asked. Not that this is necessarily the same problem you're having since yours have been running but then again I'd guess they at least test all phones so they start at factory...

Did someone find a solution to this? A friend of mine's One S had exactly the same issue..Also recharged for something like 5-6 hours but never turned on again..suggestions?
Only thing you can try is to boot into 'Fastboot' and try reboot from there, not saying it will work but worth a try cuz mine did the same thing 2 days ago and mine was cuz battery dropped lower than 2% while messing around on computer

Are you using cwm recovery? If so boot into fastboot and flash twrp. There is a bug with cwm that won't boot the phone while the battery is dead...the led light just flashes and occasionally you will get the screen flash. Unplug the phone from charger and pc, hold volume down + power to enter bootloader then plug into pc to fastboot the twrp recovery.

I had the same problem a loooooooooooooong time ago. Plug it in, wait for it to have a solid orange LED. Then try to power it on. If that doesn't work, give it a couple more minutes then do a soft reset. If that doesn't work, then you, sir, have a very plush paperweight.
