I just noticed my phone last week and it wouldn't turn on. Occasionally after I take out the battery, put it back in and press the on button it'll flash the red led on the top once, and then it doesn't do it again. I don't know what to do, can someone help me? Do I have to call warranty?
I can't get to bootscreen or recovery or anything, no power. Tried it on computer usb and the power adapter.
Try changing your battery.....! Mayb its dead!

Those batteries cost half as much as a new system
It's a gamble, I might try buying a new one and seeing if the battery swap will help.
Or if u still have warranty, first go to service centre!! They'll tell the issue
Heat your battery with your hands firs, or something like that(don't get it in the oven). Maybe will help.

I rooted with htc website so I don't think I still have warranty
Nobody on google seems to know the answer to the problem.
I'm currently heating it with body heat but I dont think it'll work.
Try charging your battery first with All-Battery charger or something similar and then try switching your phone on! Charge atleast for and hour or so!

It has been charging for 2 days with no signs of coming on.
Can anyone confirm for me if HTC Explorer will turn on without a battery in, if it's connected to USB?

Thanks for help, I don't have access to another battery at the moment. I'm seeing what I can do about buying another phone, if I can fix this one I'll just sell it again.

Well it was just in the normal startup, I was running nextgen. I didn't actually see it die, just picked it up one day. I used the HTC website to root it.
AS USUAL I DID MY WORK AND POWERED OFF MY TAB(BECAUSE ITS BATTERY WAS DOWN)
WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE IT,THE CHARGE METER FILLS 1/4th AND JUST SWITCHES OFF(WHILE ITS SWITCHED OFF.WHEN I PRESS THE POWER BUTTON IT DOESN'T TURN ON IT JUST CHARGE AND GETS SWITCHED OFF.PLEASE SUGGEST ME A SOLUTION.

Can you not use CAPS for starters
Can you boot in to download or recovery mode at all?

Sorry about the caps and i cant boot into download or recovery mode at all.At this point I can Connect the charger and watch what happens.
And the only thing that happens is, I get the charging Symbol(Orange one) and that does not fill either, it just comes progresses to 2 bars (takes 2 seconds) and then Blanks out and this process continues until the Power cable is connected.:crying::crying:
There was no Firmware update or anything else that happened recently. At this point, I reckon its more of a Battery issue rather than a Firmware issue. That said, I will leave the prognosis/Speculation to you since you are the expert.
Thanks in advance !

I just charged the tab for two full days. That solved the problem . Used odin to flash the stock firmware.
Does anyone know how to turn on the Nexus 5? Today I found the phone turned off automatically. The last time I used it was half hour before I found it was off. I know it had enough battery. I tried power on more than 10 sec. I tried power + both volume buttons, I tried power + one volume button. I tried charging it. None of them works. It just stopped working after worked for me for 4 months.I haven't rooted or installed other ROM. I didn't install to much Apps also. Before this trouble, the phone works perfectly. But now it doesn't give me any response without any reason.

As you tried holding the power button for about 10-20 seconds you can try to connect the phone to a charger to see if you see a charging animation. Can you get into bootloader (volume down and power)? Try charging the phone a little longer (1 hour or more). If nothing works all you can do is RMA or send it in for repair.

Thank you for your reply! I charged it the whole night. But it still didn't give me any response this morning. I cannot see any animation when I charged it. I cannot find any device when I connected it to the computer. I tried to get into bootloader (volume down and power), but no response either.

You should go to a LG repair shop. Its LG who does the service, not Google.

Only the original owner (your friend) can claim warranty and only in the country where the phone was bought. You`ll have to send it to the US. You can also send it to a local LG repair centre but you`ll have to pay for it yourself most likely.

I heart from my friend that the Nexus 5 have the charging problem. I realize that the day, before I my phone was dead, was the first time it ran out of the power. I mean one day before, I used the phone to 0% and then turned off automatically. But after that, I managed to charge it and turned on. And the second day the phone stopped working...
Does anyone have new idea to solve the problem?

You might also want to try turning it on underneath a bright light. For example, turn on a desk lamp, and point it right at the top of the phone while you try to turn it on.
I know that sounds like an odd suggestion, but it's worth a shot. People were having a similar issue with the HTC One, and it turned out to be because of a built-in pocket mode that tried to use the light sensor to prevent it from turning on in a pocket or bag. Sometimes, it would bug out and only work in the face of a really bright light. Obviously, it was most prevalent in the HTC One because that was built in, but it happens in other phones when you use apps that have a similar function, such as AcDisplay and such.
Go to the Recovery -> wipe data

Hi gee2012,
I almost give up and plan to send to phone back to US. Now I find I can hear the current sound from the top part of the phone when ever I press the power button, or when the phone is connected to the charger.
If the phone is not connected to the charger, the current sound with disappear after around 15 seconds even I hold the power button.
Does that mean something? I think at least it means the phone does have power in the battery.
I tried to connect the phone to the computer, but I cannot find any device related to the phone.

JUST SEND IT BACK. The longer you try to "fix it" the longer you're gonna be without a functioning phone. I know it's frustrating and you wanna fix it, but honestly it really sounds like it's dead. Just send it back to your friend and let him RMA it.

My phone is bone is stock. It has never been rooted or anything.
It got it wet a few months ago, but it continued to work fine. It's been dropped a couple of times, but has a case.
In the last 2 weeks it has shut off by itself a handful of times, and wouldn't power on unless I pulled the battery.
Last night it shut off, I pulled the battery, and it still wouldn't turn on. Tried a different battery, and nothing. Plugged into the wall, and I got the drained battery symbol, then the almost charged battery symbol, then a blank, and finally after that, the phone would boot. However, as soon as you pull the charging cable the phone shuts off. Also now when you get it to boot up, there is no wifi and no mobile data. I tried booting it from the computer and all I get is the vibration like it wants to turn on, then nothing.
The only thing I have done is a factory reset and it still has the same problems.
I also don't have the latest update from Verizon since I'm in South America. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Please help! Thanks in advance.

if so flash the latest image and see if it works. if not then you probably have a hardware problem.

It's probably either a bad battery or a broken power button, if you're still under warranty go get it exchanged.

I have 2 batteries. The same issue with each battery. I'm not under the warranty. I have a service plan from Best Buy, but I'm in Argentina. Is there anyway to figure out for sure if it's the power button with out taking it to a technician?

There are YouTube videos that show you how to unstick a power button on the S3. Normally you have to bang it fairly hard against something, search for the video and see if it works for you. If it makes the situation better it's your power button.

Apparently it was the power button I'm suspecting. I pressed on it firmly on the edge of the counter last night, tried to turn it on this morning, and it powered up. Should I replace the power button?
Also I would like to root the phone now, but I think I'll start another thread for that one if I have any questions.
Thanks a ton guys!
Hello,
Ive tried to look for a similar situation in other thread but each case is different so i open a new one.
This morning, when i took my idol 3 the screen did not switch off when pressing power button. I thought it was battery but when i plugged charger,nothing happened except the led is on continuously. I kept power button pressed for 10 seconds. The phone vibrates shortly but still a black screen, no sound and no reaction from the touch panel. Power+vol+ did not led me to my twrp recovery. What can i do now to get it work again? The phone is rooted with Rom Eu 4.2 from murigny64 and it is the first time i encounter this issu. Thanks in advance for helping me
Tonight i disconnected the battery for about 30min then connect it again. Then i tried to start in recovery: Just a vibration but no display and no sound. I unplugged/plugged the battery again and try to start. Same problem. What the hell could happen? Maybe a deffective hardware
Insist on boot ( normal or in to recovery with vol + and power).
That is a hardware brick.
Happened to me to some times, insist, it will unbrick

Hopelessly i tried to restart several times before you post your message. But im gonna try again.
I charged the phone all the night but nothing better and the phone is not detected on pc so no adb action possible.
Maybe the battery is dead...

Can be, can be to... To bad if is battery.
But still trying to boot, is very difficult to.
.
thank you for advise but it's still not working. I spend about 30 minutes trying different combination of button: power pressed until it vibrate, power+vol up, power+vol down, power+vol up & down, discontinuous press of power with charger and no charger....and so on. Its a complete failure.
If it is the battery, there was no sign of weakness before (short life, random shutoff, ....) . It happen suddenly: I lock my screen before sleeping and the next morning no way to switch it on again.
I thought I would avoid problems for long with a twrp recovery, a backup and adb tools on my pc.....but for hardware issues its useless.
How can I be sure it is battery before purchasing another one ?

If it was the screen the touch panel would work and i could sense vibration when typing the pin code no?
The led bright continuously when i plug instead of flashing slowly as it used to do when charging. That why i think its battery.
...and when i start in recovery the phone is not detected on my pc
That's hardware brick. Don't give up, try to boot, normally or in recovery, keep trying it will boot.
Have you tried to open the phone and disconnect battery? Custom ROMs made me similar issue a few times.

Therefore the back can be dismantle and we can access battery and that s what i did.
Yes i disconnected it for several hours and pluged it again but it gave me the same result. And now it doesnt vibrate anymore when i keep the power button pressed a while.
I purchased a battery on internet and im waiting for delivery to test if im right or not. Il feedback about the test.
Anyway its nice from you to look for any solution. Thanks

I guess you did everything properly, so just one thing: at first time when I did this, I choosed the wrong cable (which didn't 'reset' the phone), so I hope you pulled both out.

I think i choose the good connection: This is the one over the battery with 6 wires: 2 red, 2 white and 1 black (see picture attached). I just left it with a small screwdriver to disconnect.

Hello,
I received the new battery today.
So i unpacked it, i unplugged the old one and plugged the new one ...and guess what happened......the same bevahiour as with the old battery: when i press the button power, it vibrate but it doesnt start neither in recovery nor in normal mode.
I just precise that the new battery is charged at 50%........:crying:
So the problem is not the battery but it was the only thing i could test by myself before sending the phone to alcatel for repair.
Im still wondering what could happen to my idol 3: It had been woking perfectly for months and one morning with no warning, it refuse to switch on. Ok sorry for annoying us and hope it wont happen with yours.
I hope alacatel will apply the guarantee although the phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked....because its a hardware issue i think.
Hello,
Just to conclude. The phone got back from repair after 10 days. They have changed motherboard, battery and also the back that was damaged. Its a brand new phone .
