G1 won't turn on. Anyone else have this issue??

I charged up my new G1 phone for a good hour after I got it. It won't turn on nor did I see any LED light indicator that it is charging.
Anyone else have the same issue or am I just the "lucky" guy?

*sigh*
lol.
ok - to quell the smart asses.
yes, sim car is in.
yes, battery is in.
c'mon - i can't be the ONLY lucky guy out here with a defective one.

Not being a smarta*$ but you are holding the end key down to turn on right?

It could be the adapter is bad, try a USB cable to ur comp to check. If there is still no charging light, I'd exchange it.

There's your problem. the phone isn't meant to have a car installed in it.
What do you think it is, a garage??

All I can say is.... wow.
Back to the issue... any miniUSB charger should do... when I first got mine the battery had enough charge to run non-stop for 3hrs so I think your battery or phone is bad but do not fear... there is a reason T-Mobile has won all those customer service awards

ok ok ok - i meant SIM CARD.
went back to the t-mobile store, returned it, they said this was the second one that they saw with this issue. turns out it's not a battery issue, it's an issue with the phone.
i got a new one and it works fine so i'm happy.
good luck to everyone on theirs.

HELP !!! HTC Magic Won't TURN ON

Hello. I bought an HTC Magic on eBay today. That dude says to me that the htc works fine but the battery is very weak.
Ok. I received the HTC, tried to turn on but nothing happends...
When I press the power button, the orange led (Charging one I guess) is turning off and the phone is no longer responding. My PC does not recognize him.
I can't start in fastboot.
When I press Trackball + Power + Vol. Down the LED is changing in blue.
Any advice is welcome!

I'm pretty sure this is the wrong forum. Also, CAPS IS ANNOYING!!! And won't get your question solved ANY FASTER
Since I understand your pain. I'd suggest you go get a battery from battery+ or something or find a friend with a magic and borrow their battery. Just to see if it really is the battery.

Whoops... Sorry. Is not the battery. I forgot to say that I just got new one.
Off: Could someone move this to Magic/MyTouch3g section? Thank you!

I think so...
Is there any hope with that blue LED thing?

Yeah.... thanks to everyone for any "help". You guys are great...

find the return address on the package it came in aand go pay that guy a visit

Since you bought it off eBay, hopefully you paid with Paypal. If so, file a complaint with eBay and get your money back.

Indeed. I think you got jacked. You probably bought a bricked Magic. If you cant do anything with a new battery and you cant get into fastboot. Then you have a bricked phone.

Loose micro usb

I've recently found that my micro usb cable comes out really easily and stops the phone being charged if it's at all knocked. As it is it only appears to go in about half way. Anyone else had this problem?

I would seriously talk to your doctor about that. It doesn't sound good.

Try a different micro usb cable (a good quality one as some. Cheapo ones can be a loose fit) , with any luck its the cable thats knackered not your phone.

[Q] Device (hard) bricked?

I wanted to flash another rom version on my LG Optimus 7 with an official rom that was posted in the LG topic. During the process (before the actual flashing I think) I got an error. My device was still turned on at that moment and in Emergency Download mode. I thought that since the flashing didn't really start I could reboot my device and try it another time cause it was late but my phone wont turn on no matter what I do. I cant enter emergency download mode, nothing.
So is it possible that my device is now completely dead? It seems so hard to believe.

How low was your battery?

Take out your battery. Leave it out for a minute and then put it back in. Connect your phone to the power-adapter and let it charge for at least 5 minutes. Then try to switch on your phone.

Battery wasnt really low, the phone was still on when I got the error. Can't say exactly how full it was cause it was in emergency mode for a while but it never turned off.

Hmm. That doesn't look good. Did you try key-combo's again after you took out the battery? You might get it into downloadmode now.
I made a jig for my Samsung. With the jig I can get a phone into downloadmode even when it is bricked. Maybe there's something like that for LG's.
Good luck!

Wow, thanks for this! This might be exactly what I need. I just bought a Micro Usb Jig. When it arrives I'll post the result here.

Hold on! Are you sure that is for LG devices? The post I referred to is a jig for Samsungs. I'm not sure there is something like that for LG's. Check that first!

It's one that works on the Galaxy S devices and Omnia 7 so I'm not sure it will work on my device but it doesnt cost a fortune so I might as well try.

I'm afraid it only works for Samsung brand. You might want to consider RMA.

Please do not post device specific problems here in the WP7 dev forums!

Hello,
i´m new here and i know that i dig a old post out of the grave, but before christmas my boss get 3 LG E900´s for his kid´s and 2 of them where selled in demo modes.
Not official, but because it was early too christmas he ask if i have an idea.
So i read many hours in much forums (even here) how to flash.
The first one was not a big problem at my home pc(took a lil time if it´s start in emerg.-mode, but now it works perfect)
So i tried the same with the second one at my office pc, because this one arrives us at 23. dec. and i do the same steps as i do at home.
But while flashing i got a massage from the LGDP2_V36_UMTS prog. that there was an abort.
EM still worked, so i tried again (4 times) with an other abort (RAM error)
After the 5. try with this error i do same as before and shut it off.
I wanted to try it at home again, but since this i couldn´t it on.
Everthing i tried doesn´t work. Screen keeps black.
Anyone an idea?
PS: sorry if my english is bad, i´m german.

Bloated battery, no power

My Gf plugged my old evo into her cable box and screwed it, the battery is bloated and no power now, i used SBC on it with savage-zen for a few months but it was off and running CM7 on the phone, i dont have access to another evo battery yet and before sending it to sprint i wanted a lil info.
1. What are the cances of the phone also being fryed? I'm thinking it's a high chance
2. If it is and i send it in to asurion, you think theres anyway theyll be able too see it was s-off?
Thanks guys and sorry if this is in the wrong section..

1. Hard to say. 50/50
2. Not if the phone is truly fried.

I was a tech for Verizon before I worked for Best Buy and your phone should be fine. I would see this all the time (especially on LG phones) and when you put in a new battery, the phone would work just fine. I can't promise you the same thing, but your battery is probably just shot.

Thanks guys, i'll have a battery tonight and i guess i'll see than...

I just retired my 3000 mAh battery because it was bloated, and yes I was using SBC kernels also. Im back on the OEM battery and the phone works fine.
