[Q] Pretty Sure Its Gone

But im hoping someone here can tell me otherwise.....
Was at work last night, playing a game on my phone when the battery got low (6%) so i stopped playing, let the phone sit, looked at it a little while later and it was at 2%, it died before i get out of work, no big deal. Get in my car and my car charger isnt working. My car charger has an extra usb outlet on it so i check that with my ipod and it works, so i immediately assume its the phone off charging issue i had before. Except now im not even getting the amber led saying its even trying to charge. Ive tried my wall charger, usb, pulling the battery and leaving it out for a while and nothing. Ive looked around and this has happened to a few people, but they were all under warranty (which i am not) and got it replaced. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if so how did they fix it?

I had the same problem, are you using a custom recovery? The thing that fixed it for me was to charge the battery out of the phone on my external charger

yeah im using a custom recovery but this hasnt happened to me in a long time. I just recently flashed to the latest CoreDroid and (i think) this is the first time my phone has fully died on me since then but im not sure. My girls friend is gonna come over in a little while, she has the same phone as me so ill see if her battery boots my phone up n if so then ill charge my battery then replace the recovery.

Do: take the dead battery, Sim and micro sd card out. Hold the power button for 5-10 sec. Reassemble, connect wall charger and don't touch anything for at least an hour. Restart, phone should boot now.

Thanks trying this now. Still have no amber charging led but maybe ill get lucky

Probably old recovery with charging issues. Look up threads by vladnosferatu , he posted a revival method ages ago.

Didn't work for me

**** I think the same thing is happening with me.
Okay no, my charger cable was just loose

so, yeah. My phone is officially ****ED. Just put a fully charged battery in it from my girls friends phone, still wont power on :/
This is even more ****ty due to the fact that i have no warranty
ANYONE know ANY way around this?
If i can somehow get HTC to take this back an send a re-furb im deff. selling it and going back to Samsung. This is the 3rd HTC phone ive had thats given me problems.

Interesting. Would be nice to know what caused it. There is a way to check via adb wherever It's alive a bit, but I'm not sure what commands. Try leaving it with battery out overnight for now.

my computer wont even acknowledge my device never mind adb. Im close to just breaking this damn thing

I've got stuck with this issue on a couple days ago.When I try to plug the charger an LED light will blink all the time and the phone can't turn on, so I left it for about 5 minute(LED still blink all the time and I can't turn it on).After that I pull a charger from the wall and plug it again at the different plug,then an LED light turn normally orange not blink anymore.After a few minute I've tried to turn it on and it work again!

Why no warranty? Don't HTC have at least one year warranty? The phone hasn't even been out that long. HTC fixed my HD2 under warranty even though it was over13months after I bought it.

Got a hold of HTC. My phone is still under factory warranty gonna send it out tomorrow to have it fixed, the phone doesnt even turn on so im hoping there will be no way for them to find out its rooted.

Ns4g ics battery charge

I'm trying to figure out if this problem is just my phone or an actual issue. I just got this phone 2 days ago from craigslist after being with the evo for almost a year. As soon as I got it, I rooted it n tried flashing ics roms themed and original leaked update. On every rom I flashed, the phone wouldn't recognize the charger or usb or it would tell me its charging but it would take 6 hours to gain 6% more battery? I also tried turning the phone off to charge but that didn't work either. Anyone know anything about this n what I did wrong or didn't do?

I've had the exact same problem, i bought a NS4g from craigslist that wouldn't charge or turn on without a charger being plugged in. Long story short, i eventually got it back from Samsung with the warranty being voided due to water damage. So i opened it up and found some oxidation resudue and cleaned it off by scrapping it off. Luckily it worked!!. For you it might just be the battery since it actually says 6%, try to replace with another battery or place the battery in the freezer for 5 mins and try it again.

I flashed the unofficial leak rom again n it charges now but it doesn't say its charging on the lock screen or on the battery icon, but in the system info it says its charging? I have never ran into this type of issue before?

Exact Same Problem
I was given ICS 4.0.4 via OTA update by google... It worked fine for like 2 months then exactly the same problem arises with my Nexus S i9023 (unrooted).
1. It's doesn't indicate on the lock screen that it's charging nor it indicates on the battery icon, however it does tells me that the battery is charging when I check the battery in the settings. This issue exists on both wall chargers and usb cable.
2. It doesn't asks me to mount mass memory of my Nexus S and my windows 7 machine says it cannot recognize the device..
I strongly suspects it's a bug in the ICS...
I would appreciate any help that I can get on this issue... but to be honest I read many threads here and I can't understand half of what people are trying to say, so I request to keep things a bit simple because I know nothing about how to root or flash or doing any other super geeky stuff ...
thanks

Some people have had luck just cleaning the USB port with a dry toothbrush and a can of compressed air. Might just be dirt. Worth a shot.

thanks mate,
Yeah, tried cleaning it with a brush... still no luck..

Im not sure if its worth it as the phone is soo old

It's possible it's a problem with the charger and/or battery. Try and borrow a compatible charger and battery from someone else (I dunno if other HTC phones use the same battery, if not, it may be hard to find someone).
Also, before doing that even, try turning on the phone while holding the volume down button. If that makes the bootloader screen appear, it may be a software issue. In this case, you could try running one of the RUUs (these are HTC issued applications which run on your computer and reinstall the stock ROM on your phone, at least that's how I understand it).
If you can't access the bootloader, it's probably a hardware issue e.g. problem with battery/charger (easy to replace) or some other important component (not so easy to replace; in this case, it's probably either send to service centre or else buy a new phone).

I have tried to use my one x charger and i have tried to get into the bootloader. Im going to buy a battery and give that a go.

May be battery must be wake up with external power to battery plus and minus. Current must not be over 1,5 ampers.

Hi,
You're not going to believe this but .....
My Son's phone had the same problem and I figured an unusual way of sorting this out.
Did a lot of searching and there are many instances of HTC phones, when left discharged for weeks will not charge.
No solutions though - until now
The charger that came with the phone whistles (low buzzing noise) when the phone is disconnected.
I used this to determine that the phone, when dead, was not charging - I could hear the buzzing when the phone was connected.
Procedure I used as follows:
I warmed up the battery in my hands (told you it was unusual )
put the battery back in the phone
plugged in charger
it goes quite for a few seconds and then starts to buzz (indicating it no longer was charging)
plug out when this happens and repeat from step 3 until the buzzing stops (repeated 4 or 5 times)
once the buzzing didn't reappear indicating it was charging I left charger plugged in
after a few seconds the battery screen appeared with 0% & charging - SUCCESS
left it to charge as normal
If you don't have a (helpful) buzzing charger
you could try plugging out in the charger every 10 seconds

Thanks for all the posts. I managed to get it to boot by replacing the battery.
@haongusa your solution of warming the battery with my hands worked. I now have two batteries :silly:

wish i had seen this post a few weeks back my phone turned off and would not charge had to send it off to htc for repair, which took two weeks.

[Help] HTC Sensation not charging nor turning on

Hi, I let my friend use my HTC Sensation around a week ago and he was playing a game when suddenly it turned off and did not turn on again.
I suspected it was the battery being drained to 0% as the battery was quite hot.
After getting home I plugged it into the charger with no LED showing or the phone turning on so I reseated the battery, tried charging the phone for 6 hours, tried taking out the battery for two days and leaving it and I also tried plugging it into my laptop with HTC Sync Manager only to find the QHUSB (Or something like that) issue. I am really worried and the only other things I could possibly think of doing is sending my phone to HTC (although warranty expired) or trying a new battery.
Please help
P.S
My HTC is rooted S-OFF (By factory)
and running ViperS 5.1
Thanks in advance

New battery not charging!

Hi guys, I've searched anywhere but I couldn't found a workaround for my issue, so I decided to make this post since it's driving me nuts.
I recently decided to substitute my opo battery since it was swolling up, with this one https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00W9ZAURM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Installing it was easy, but i quickly encountered some problems! First, the battery would not charge. The opo died at 2% and no matter how much time I left it in charge, it took almost a day to get it back little by little. Anyhow I managed to make it work, but the problem now is different: most of the times, I have to use caffeine to keep the screen on while charging, otherwise it won't work. I know that since I'm using AccuBattery Pro to check the incoming power. Sometimes it doesn't even work this way and I have to shut the screen off, unplug the cable, plug it in again, and then keep the screen on. I noticed that since I left the phone in charge for 1 hour and the battery percentage was still the same as it was earlier. Take a look at the screen so you can understand.
Ah! I almost forgot! 2 or 3 times has happened that the phone powered off all of a sudden. I'd like to throw it from my f******g window.
P.S. I'm using opo's original charger & cable; i tried with a different charger & cable still made by oneplus since my father has the same phone, so it isn't a cable\charger problem.

The original swollen battery has battery backup issues too? If not,I advice you to use that again,as no better,or equal and genuine batteries are available anywhere.

No, never had a problem with the original one but it was starting to break the back cover... So I threw it in the bin ? the seller sent me another sealed battery, maybe I should try it. Any advice on how to calibrate it properly?

Search battery thread in accessories section.

Mind telling me what is the serial number on the battery connector? those serial number can tell you whether you bought an original battery or OEM battery...
