Ok, New owner of a 8125, seems great, got a good deal. It had a cracked screen, easy fix.
My issue is the battery/charging. Yes I have searched, the battery is OK (atleast 3.89 volts coming off of it). I even got another battery, and stock charger, no luck. Ive jumped both batteries with a PC, and a 9V, still nothing.
I beleive the issue is the board itself. If i use a USB cable, and insert/remove the battery, I do get a red charge light for a second ,and the screen comes on.
However, with the wall charger, I get nothing, the unit seems dead. But on a check of the pins in the phone (battery), I am getting around 4.2 volts coming out of the positive lead.
I am open to ideas, any help would be great.
Thank You a bunch!

Helloes guys and goils.
I have a HTC wiz, and for a good few weeks now I have had problems with it.
First off, It would NOT charge through the Wall Socket OR USB, I let it run down over XMas and it's not been the same again.
It just will not charge or come on.
When I plug it into USB it looks as if it is charging, with the Orange light and The power bar turns to the socket looking thing, but when I leave it to charge it just goes off and doesnt come back on.
When I plug it into the wall socket the HTC does not respond.
I have been asking my mate in work to put it in his and charge it via HIS wall charger, which has worked a few times, but I seem to be getting a very awful run out of my battery.
I am thinking it is the phone and NOT the battery as i first thought, I dunno, im scared of throwing up £30 notes on a new battery only to find it is the phone.
What do you guys think I should do?
I heard somewhere that it is a SOFTWARE based charge and not a hardware based charge, what does that mean?
DO u think a flash would help it? I cant see it myself.
Or is my HTC just goosed?
Well
I can speak from experience when I tell you my wizard nuked 2 batteries...
how I dont know.
Hopefully one of the gurus can shed some light on your situation

If you do replace the battery, look on eBay - I got a new 1250 mA battery (there are also 1100 mA versions, don't get that) for $13.99US including shipping - works great!
Make sure its nothing simple... Try the USB cable plugged directly into the computer without using a USB hub (if you are) and different USB ports on the back of the computer. Also try different outlets for the AC adapter. If still nothing else I'd even ask for help from your local cell phone store (put on a sad face) and see if they'll lend you a power cord and or swap out batteries to see if they can reproduce the problem on a different Wizard, battery, etc.
There has been many posts on this subject with several different fixes.. i would suggest searching and reading and you can find your answers
My case
Hi,
I had somewhat similar problem with mine. My porblem was that I bought the Wizard with a Motorola charger. It had the same mini usb plug and when I plugged it to charge, the led on the wizard was orange and the Wizard indicated its charging, but the moment I unlugg it, the battery indicator was coming back to its previous state. My solution is to use the PC USB to charge it, on a couple of occasions I had the battery completely drained and had to "jump start it" by connecting the wires from the usb directly to the + and - of the battery. Even used once my good old AA Ni-MH charger to jump start the battery and it worked.
So perhaps you are not getting power from the cable, why not try with different charger or charging from another USB source (PC).
Hope this helps
Just happened to me tonight. Thought that my Wizard was toast as well.
I merely took the battery out for 10 minutes, put battery back in, and plugged device into original wall charger. All is well now.

Hi Guys!
I have a problem with my Htc HD2, it doesnt charge! I installed windows phone 7 nand rom to my hd2, so the connection was made and usb cable is charging, have tried it with stock Htc Wildfire. The battery is ok, because i have a battery charger and the battery is charging.
Used Magldr v1.13.
Any help would be appreciated, btw have read several topics,but no solution has found.
I don't see a problem here.
You said it doesn't charge and then you said it charges.
And the battery charges from external battery charger too.
Where is the problem?
Edit:
lol, after reading again and again I finally found your problem. But using correct grammar and correct punctuation would've made this a lot easier
Make sure that the battery pins on your phone are ok, also check the usb socket on your phone and make sure it's not faulty or malfunctioning

reading comprehension ftw.
Anyway, I had a similar problem and I found that it was the pins connecting directly to the battery, the three little ones you see when you pull the battery. Make sure there aren't bent down and smashed too much. You can still get the battery to supply power, but it wont take a charge. Anyway, hope this helps.
I had the same problem, HD2 didn't charge, the orange LED just flashed and battclock reported a temperature of 250°C. Problem was the middle battery connector, it was bent behind the battery and so it had no contact. Remove battery, try to carefully get these three connectors in correct position and try again.
Thank you so much!!!!! I thought my phone was dead then I checked this. You are my hero!!!!
I had the same problem and it was driving me crazy. I tried putting the stock ROM back on, WinMo 7, charging with the computer and USB and nothing worked, I still got the red/green blinking LED and the battery died. I bent the middle pin back to normal and now everything is working as usual.
It works for me
thanks ... joshwake
nice ICS on hd2
Hey guys, my Hd2 won't work without the charger. The moment I take the cable out, it dies. I've tried charging it and for some reason it goes from 0% to 100% in a matter of minutes (which denotes that it's not actually charging). I've tried everything except going back to stock. I even cut one of my usb cables in half and tried charging the battery by attaching the red and black wires to the metal parts. What should I do?

Thanks for the heads up. I just bought myself a cheap $3 generic battery off of eBay I just hope it's the battery and not the charging port itself.
Just in case, check the battery pins on the phone as they can be easily bent and result in your problem!
The USB charger does
not seem to power the device
enough to get it to power on. It needs a battery
that has been charged up.
When I ordered a new battery, the phone
powered right up! But, as I was
trying to troubleshoot the problem, the battery
eventually drained to 0.
The problem occurred after I replaced the front
glass. I upgraded to 4.3
after I ordered a new battery after draining the
original one. I was hoping that a fresh OS install
might help the problem,
but it did not. The phone ran the same with 4.2
as with 4.3. I handled the
motherboard with great care when doing the
repair, and the phone worked perfectly before
that. (I have done many successful phone
repairs). I suppose it's possible that the
motherboard was damaged somehow, but it has no
sign of damage and the only
problem is the battery not charging. charging
sign- It did show when the battery was charged.
Now that the battery has drained down,I will
sometimes get an orange light when plugging in
the USB charger.
The battery has drained to the point that the
charging animation indicator on the screen no
longer appears. The battery has been drained to
the point where it does not have enough
power to boot the phone..

My battery suddenly started dying extremely quickly, and sometimes the phone showed that it was charging from a USB cable to the computer instead of through a wall adapter. I have also replaced the front screen assembly and am on 4.3. What the hell is going on? Tons of people with issues like this.

go to original stock. you will come to know wheather is sofware problem or a hardware. you will be able to troubleshoot in a better way.
Already have. Looks like a hardware issue.
I gotta say...this phone has been all kinds of problems for me.
So I have been running AICP 13.0 for a couple weeks and love it. I woke up this morning and my phone didn't charge overnight despite being plugged in. It shows it is connected (the lighting bolt in the battery icon on the top right) but the led light doesnt display and it doesnt say charging. Other weird thing is everytime I plug the cord in the volumne starts adjusting itself up and down automatically and now sound is not working (microphone or speaker audio). Battery is now draining and I cant get it to charge. Any ideas why this could be? I have tried it with numerous cords and charging bricks, did a factory reset but still can't get it to work. I am now down to 20 percent battery life and am worried I have a hardware problem and am going to be without a phone for a couple days.
Anyone experience similar things or have ideas to try?
Also leeco doesnt have a us website anymore, so how do I contact them for support if needed?
Only idea a hardreset or clear coch?

Well, go back to any eUI vendor ROM (basically, stock) and see if it solves the issue. Preferably the same firmware version that your device was originally on. It could be a hardware issue or a software issue.
Sounds like a faulty charging port. You might need to replace yours. You can find replacement charging ports on Aliexpress, and a teardown here: http://www.myfixguide.com/manual/leeco-le-pro-3-teardown/ (the phone has the same internals as other LeEco phones, so you can consult various LeEco teardown videos too).
EDIT: now, I don't know if this will work for you, but freezing the phone for an hour might also get it to start charging again, but only do this as a last resort if it dies on you. And make sure you put it in a plastic bag first (obviously).
Ok I will locate the stock rom and flash it, I havent looked for it but it has to be on xda.
As far as replacing the charging port....I bought the phone in June so it should be under warranty correct? Does anyone know how we would get in touch with leeco support? Do we still have a warranty since they shut down operations in the US?
I still have 16 percent battery (I turned it off once I posted here so I could have juice to try ideas you guys would come up with, so hopefully I dont have to try the freezer trick.

Have you tried a different lead? I've had one leeco lead go on me, i almost chucked the charger until i realised it was the lead
Ymm, often the cable is broken.
Yes I have tried numerous cables and chargers. It has to be a hardware issue as it is dead now and won't charge at all is my thinking. When I plug a charging cord in it displays several quick red led blinks where it usually has the yellow led for charging but nothing else. When I tried it with my car charger this morning it got really hot very quickly.

Sadly, the stock charger cable is known to destroy the charge port. If you have always used the stock charger cable, then that is probably what caused the issue . I had to get my phone replaced for that reason about a year ago. If you do end up getting it fixed, get a certified USB-C cable and scrap the one that came with the phone. So sorry man...you shouldn't have to deal with this.
