Screen Issue

Hi ,
I have a small issue with my sensation
when i plug the phone into the charger it turn my screen on ...
and if i forget to turn off the screen , it wont turn it off as if it was not charging
and that means the phone will be very hot after few hours of charging..
the same is when the car charger
btw the option that the screen will stay awake while charging is turned off on my phone
thats why i don't understand why it wont turn off the screen.. :\
thanks
Fixed - with the help of S-Off

Hmm, that's interesting. I thought for sure that it would have been that option. Did u try turning that option off then rebooting the phone to see if it stuck, to see if its still turned off.

Yep i tried that the first day i noticed the issue..
still no luck.. :\

hm... weird. Mine certainly will turn the screen off itself.
I used to select "stay awake while charging" on my other Android phone. When I first got the Sensation, I forgot to turn that option existed and thought that was a standard Android feature. I was so annoyed that it turned the screen off automatically when charging, only remembered later that this option exists....

Just remember to stay by your phone when you're charging! I was out of the house and I left my Sensation plugged in. One of my friends gave me a call and hung up. Since the screen was set to always on when charging, the phone was hot by the time I got back!

at least now i fix the issue..
I got S-Off on the phone, and got a new ROM on it.. and now everything as it should.. =]

No screen issue for me.

[Q] Not responding to anything (Sensation)

I'm having trouble with my HTC Sensation. I Flashed ARHD 5.0.1 this morning and tried to flash the update to 5.0.2, but something went wrong. while I knew the battery must've been running low, the bootscreen took ages (first waited 15 minutes, lost my patience and then pulled the battery, next try was an hour). so I decided to try recovery in the HBOOT menu and it jumped right to an update screen saying LOCKED in a red box and telling me to update or not. so why not, clicked yes and it took ages again. so i pulled the battery and clicked no this time. then in the bootscreen saying beatsaudio I think it crashed. now it wont boot up by pressing power button and it wont get into HBOOT either. wondering if its the battery, pulled it out and checked with a multimeter, its on 3.76V, should be enough. strange thing is also that while in the charger, the LED doesn't light up. I just dont know what to do now. getting kinda desperate.

It looks like bad flash. try running your RUU from pc while phone is switch on.

The sensation has some wierd feature that when battery is very low it wont turn on, leave it charging for an hour or so and then try again and flash as jasminthoria said.

ive had it in the charger for a whole night now, and still the LED doesnt light up indicating that its charging, its just completely unresponsive, also i dont get the feeling its charging anything. ive used 2 different chargers and i have connected it to the computer, but it just wont react, it's acting like its dead (or maybe it is i dont know). As soon as I'm back in Holland ill go to the vodafone store and see what they can do for me. i dont mind paying for the repair myself.

Have you taken the battery out after charging it? I forgot to put that in my last post

yes i have

if you can try another battery try that see if it turns on if, it does then its your battery, if it doesnt then it could be something more than that

well I've just tried my sister's sensation's battery which works fine in her phone, and it didnt work, so i dont think the problem is in the battery.

Moto G turning off itself

It's a long history.
One day, my Moto G stop charging. He charge until 1%, then turn itself on, and when it was on, it wasn't charging. I thought that was a OS/software problem, but nothing was sloving. I send to warranty and there they send me back saying that a piece was oxidated and was my fault, so they can't help me. When the cellphone arrive back, it was charging normaly. I really doesn't understand. But my PC wasn't showing the smartphone when plugged in the USB port. I started to use AirDroid.
I have a little struggle to update to Android 4.4.2 but I did it. The smartphone was really weird, but I let it go. Now I have the most annoying problem. It keep turning off by itself. I don't know if is software/OS, hardware, some app, something I'm doing wrong, but it's driving me crazy.
Please guys, help =[
P.S.: Sorry my bad english.

I had same issue where it turned off on its own and wouldn't charge. I plug cable to wall charger and held power button for 1 minute nothing happened so I kept pressing power button repeatedly until it vibrated and started charging.

So, it's charging normally now, but it keeps turning off itself. Another annoying problems is that it turn itself on when I connect it in the USB port on my PC, but not when I plug on wall charger.

Sorry for the double post, but I'm don't know what to do anymore! Please, someone help me! Any ideas!

Try this
Plug it in
Hold power button for 2-3 mins
Leave it charging for an hour then unplug
Hold power button for 30 seconds it should vibrate and boot

I guess you missing the point: I CAN charge and I CAN turn it on. The problem is that the cellphone keeps turning itself off at random. Random time, in random activites.

Hi are you able to connect the phone to a PC? If so I would transfer important data and then do a factory reset to see if that solves your issue sounds more like a software problem to me.

Already did a Factory Reset (the one in Configuration, the one the Fastboot just normally boot the device) and the problem persist.

So no one can help me? =[

does the phone fades purple then goes crazy then shuts down for a while then turns back on?

It did it when I did something different, trying to turning on or recovery, I don't really remember. I remember that I freaked out, because the screen was black, without changing, than I did a reset (Power + Volume Up) and then it reseted.

You already try charging with wall charger? Maybe your PC don't have enough power to recharge this phone

I was able to charge the phone, Anyway, the device stopped to turning off alone. By itself. I didn't do anything different.
I'm so confused.

Something is shorting out inside, probably due to the said oxidation, which will most likely result in such behavior.
If you know how to do it, just open the phone, take the pcb out and clean it well with a dry contract cleaner and a hard toothbrush to remove any oxidation and possible residue.

Later I was thinking that could be it. So if anything goes wrong, I'll do it or ask to someone with a little more experience to do for me.
Thanks.

Some Moto G's do turn themselves ON when you plug in a charger, I have 2 and both do it - you connect the phone when it is turned OFF and then it turns itself on! Sometimes if I plug in the charger and turn OFF the phone quickly it stays off.
It's a bug / feature / quirk but it's unfortunately normal so you can discount that as being a problem related to your other problem.

I'm having this exact problem too. The phone is less than a month old. Twice this week its happened. Phone was close to fully charged on going to bed, I still checked some emails while it was plugged in.. the charging symbol was also on, so I know it was charging ok when I put it down... then in the morning, wake up, phone is off, but the battery display is showing 100% (The big one shown on screen when it is turned off)
Potentially if I was only using my phone as an alarm, I'd have not woken up. I always use a backup, but now this Moto G worries me!
Seems a few people are having this issue!

Phone acting weird and won't charge unless it is power off.

Hi everyone,
I have several problems with my AT&T 8X. First, the screen keeps on cycling through the brightness level non stop, so its constantly changing the brightness. I've tried to turn off the auto-brightness but that doesnt seem to help and this only happen after the phone booted up and I touch the screen so Im thinking it's a software issue. ANother one is that when the phone is one, the computer wont recognize the phone and it won't charge, both AC and PC charging. To charge the phone I would have to power it off and plug it in. It wouldn;t have been so bad if it wasnt for the fact that whenever the phone is power on again, there's a high chance that it will boot loop and I'll have to do a hard reset to fix it. All of these looks to be software problem to me. Hard reset doesnt seem to fix them though, does anyone has any idea?

Never faced any such problem till now Try visiting htc service centre Or try draining the battery completely and charge it completely before using Sometimes solves my screen related issues

I actually did drain the battery and charge it up again. I had to remove the screen though since it wont charge keep keep boot loop every 3 seconds. so I had to take out the screen and charge the battery separately by manually hook up the wires to it. And htc service center is no longer an option since it is no longer under warranty, which is why I opened it up in the first place lol.

You'd taken out the battery?? Thats a really hard work!! Battery is hidden inside right? and we'll have to remove everything just to reach the battery!! Did you do it on your own? I'd actually heard removing battery is very dangerous and we should be very careful since it's behind the screen and the connecting wires are too thin :silly:

If you take off the screen, there's a cable that connect the screen and the components to the battery, all you have to do is unclip the cable and hook the wire to the battery correctly (positive and negative side) and just plug it in to charge for 30 mins. Since the phone won't turn on, the battery left to be charged fully rather than keeping going into bootloop.

You don't actually have to remove the battery, just need to separate the screen from the back.

Power button doesn't turn on device unless you reseat battery

Hello geniuses!
I have a problem. I recently purchased a LG G3 unlocked from a seller on Swappa and the device appears to work however there is a funny glitch i recently discovered about this phone. Maybe its mine only. But heres what happens....
I boot into phone like normal, after a days use, and sometimes when preparing to switch cases and what not, i shut down the phone remove battery and clean the device sometimes.. I notice that if the phone is ON, and when i choose Reboot, The phone reboots fine. But if i choose POWER OFF.
The phone powers off, and when i try to boot it back up again, it doesnt let me, it just stays blank.. But the second i take out the battery, place it back in, and then push the power button once, it powers on fine.. What on earth is happening here?..... any idea? Please help.
