Now when I plug it into the charger, it just goes to the Core Cell splash screen, for like a split second then turns off, then does it repeatedly... I donnu, how to charge my phone, I donnu what to do, please help.
like i ttly hope someone can halp...i donnu wut it iz.
i wuz in yor phonez checking ur batterys, and it looked mkay to meh.
lol.
I don't know WTF is going on here... My phone is like constantly just reloading the same thing, every 4 seconds, it just loads the Splash screen for less than a second, turns off, then does it again, this is while it's plugged into the charger, when it's taken off the charger, nothing happens, I can't ever turn the phone on...
You've obviously got a bad phone.....take it in to your local store T-mobile and have them look at it.
Have you tried plugging your phone into the computer to try syncing/charging it that way, or just into the wall?
I tried the computer, that takes longer to get the splash screen to come up, & there is no T-mobile in Australia, plus I don't have a stock rom, and HSPL.
Try taking your battery out and making sure that none of the pins that make contact with the battery are bent or broken. It is easy to bend the pins and it can prevent charging of the battery.
Another option may be to hold the volume down button during this startup loop and see if you can get into the bootloader. It should charge in the bootloader and it may stop the looping. After charging for a while just restart and all should be well.
I have also had this and other strange things happen when the battery is depleted or very low. I try to not get below 10% anymore just in case.

I fixed the issue last night, I chucked my Battery into the Freezer, for like... more than 8 hours, woke up, and plugged my phone back together, and it charged, without booting up and restart
So all good
Obviously, your battery was terrified by what happenned to the chicken and the turkey in your freezer and decided to behave!
I really don't think it's a good idea to put a freezing cold battery into a warm handset.....that's a recipe for condensation and rust and/or water damage.

unit wont boot up at all... nothing.. ive tried multiple batteries, the only indications of anything with the phone is the red led when a charger is plugged into it..
any thoughts? please help
thanks!!
Mine had to take juice for about 15 minutes before it would turn on.. With you trying other batteries, I'd assume at least 1 of them already had a charge, but you may try letting it sit on charge for a while.
I had the same problem with mine when I got it in the store, the red light comes on when you plug it in, after telling the nice Telus lady many times, I think you should try a different battery she did and it worked. We did try charging the other battery for more than a half hour or so, so I am thinking it was a deffective battery. If letting it charge for sometime and if multiple batteries doesn't fix it I would say it is most likely a paper weight but I am by no means an expert.
My p4000 turned on right away and was working instantly.
I would think that with the unit plugged into a working USB/car/wall charger it should work regardless of the battery state.
However - if the battery is actually B-A-D and acts like it is not there - or the contacts are dirty or a bit of debris or plastic is covering the contacts, then the unit will act like there is no battery in it and wont turn on.
ok here is the problem.
4 nights ago i forgot to plug in my hd2 while android was running and the battery died.
the next morning i went to turn it on and the screen no longer turns on but the phone does boot. the battery doesnt charge, status light doesnt either, end key doesnt work, when i answer calls no noise can be heard or made.
any hope?
Im guessing you cant run bootloader?
Maybe this is a warrenty jobby
If you know someone with another HD2, Try swapping the battery.

Hi Chris,
Please eleborate/clarify your OP, because I don't think anyone gets this... At least i don't! You say the screen doesn't turn on but the phone boots?! How do you figure that? Your device is actually on because you can receive/answer calls!?! :S
Sounds like your device has just BSOD (Black Screen of Death) which is discussed quite a lot here. Just press reset button or pull the battery (please tell me you have tried that before...).
If your device IS NOT powered on, please try this:
Does the device vibrate shortly when pressing the End-button? If so you should leave it connected to the charger for longer. If battery has drained too much it takes a while for the device to allow it to power itself up (prevention of overdrainage, which Lithium-batteries don't like very much).
Do you charge through USB, or with the supplied charger? I've had this before trying to charge it with a (different brand) microUSB charger. Turned out most chargers only give out 500mAh, whilst my normal charger (and car-charger) give out 1000mAh i believe. That might help.
You can order a cheap replacement battery from China (i got mine with dockingstation), which is already charged about 60% (for storage purposes).
BTW if your problem is fixed, please add the prefix [FIXED] or [SOLVED] to your topics title.

i have restarted many times.
i use the wall charger.
but why would the phone boot but not turn on the screen or have the mic work?
remove your sd card and the battery. you may have to hit the rest button on the back after you plug the battery back in as well, but as long as you have the sd card out it should come back on. try plugging the phone into a charger and then remove the battery as well sometimes it'll wake it up so to speak. it's just a matter of playing with it. mine did the exact same thing and i freaked out for a little bit.
now if after all this it doesn't work and you've played with it for a while then yeah, best of luck to you =\. but whatever you do in playing with the battery and the charger, keep the sd card out until you can boot into winmo.
EDIT: never mind, i thought the phone wasn't booting. i misunderstood, but i went back and reread the original post. try reflashing your rom if you're in winmo and experiencing those issues. or take the sd card out and reboot.
i would suggest making an backup, as your phone turns on you should be able to estaplish a remote-connection with some (3rd-party-)software and do a hardreset.
if this wont work i would recommend setting it back to factory default (revert hspl if you have one and install stock rom) and send it in for warranty.
seems to be some major problem...
All this steps should be possible without screen turning on (working touchscreen may be needed for backup, but flashing doent need screen input)
if drive-mode is default for your usb connection and holding you from flashing you can do a hardreset and afterwards active sync will be default again and you can establish an active sync connection and flash
check if any of the pins that contact the battery are bended or broken, try to avoid removing the battery when you have to reset your hd2 because the pins are fragile
similar thing happened to me just last night!
I tried the jmz dual boot last night and I was nearly out of battery. I didnt look at any instructions I just installed it and restarted the phone to check out the new toy. it finally got done loading I chose android right away and I was walking towards the bedroom. when I went to see if android had fully booted and plug in the phone I had nothing! It was off. I decided that the battery must have died so I tried to turn it on and all that happened was the tmobile flash screen came up for a second and then it went right off, I got so desperate that I was going to do a hard reset but that wouldnt even work! the boot loader screen would just shut right off. I was suggested to try another battery we had at the house and bang it fired right up I took a wiff of my other battery and I dont know what happened but I think I let the magic smoke out cuz it is fried!

hello friend...i have a problem similar to this. basically when my phone is in android which i use alot if it dies in android, when i reboot it it will turn on for about a second to see my splash screen then turn itself off (the battery is obviously flat). so i plug my charger in and it stays on now but doesnt indicate charging....i boot it into windows mobile and the batt just stays at 0% but its still working. however once i unplug it it will die.....its like the battery is not in the phone. luckily i have two batteries and a dock which charges batteries, so i replaced the battery and everything works fine. once the battery that died in android was fully charged i tried it again and it was fine.................im guesing the moral to this story is dont let your phone die in android mode
I do notice my HD2 runs hotter while in android than while it runs in Windows.
I am not sure if that's an issue to this, which is why I never mentioned about it being hotter. Although my HD2 is noticeable hotter, it never gets to a point that I think I should unplug the USB due to overheating concern...
Just a few inputs from passed experience
I use TMOUS Stock 2.13.531.1 WWE ROM
2.12.50.2_2 radio (not stock)
k going to tmobile today to see if they have any extra batteries i can try.
then ill update
i went to tmobile. and while i was there i noticed the screen was turning on but very dim without backlight (barely noticable). but the rep helping me did not notice and i let it stay that way because tmobile is sending me a new refurbished phone as long as i send the old one (and the rep was totally cool he uses xda also and said they wont check my software and if they do they wont ask for the phone back). he also let me get insurance in case this happens again, instead i will just say its lost. so i basically killed 2 birds with one stone
I was using my phone like a normal person texting, using the web, watching youtube, then my battery died so when I went to recharge the phone it just stays looping at the "Stick Together" screen, so is my phone bricked? Or could it be the battery? I dont have another battery to try it out! Please Help!!!!

Odds are that one of your battery connection pins are bent. Check them closely, there should be 5 of them, like this, all straight and even:
ll l ll
if its not a bent pin, it could simply be that it isn't able to start because the battery is so flat, but every time you plug in the cable it turns itself on, thus preventing it from starting to charge.
Take teh battery out, plug in the USB, and then put teh battery back in. It should start to charge (after a pause, sometimes) without trying to power on.

Yes, and make sure you're charging on a wall outlet rather than on a PC USB port, you'll get a much higher current that way.
If your phone still won't boot, with all the other suggestions, you will have to hard reset it. (I have had to do so twice already, after just having had the phone a couple days!)
Make suire it is completely off. Press and hold in both the Volume Up and Volune Down buttons. While holding them, press and release the red End button. (But keep holding down the two power buttons.)
Until--you get a message about the hard reset. Then you can release those two buttons, and follow directions on what to do next.
Any data, settings, etc. on the phone (not the storage card) is lost in a hard reset. Fortunately, both times I had recent backups to restore from, after the hard reset. (Moral--back up often with this phone.)
Thanks for your help guys!!! It was the battery connectors that were bent, everything is all good now!

No problem, it's one of the most common causes of that problem, but not the only one.
I think samsamuel and I are going to start a pool every time that question gets asked
hah, if only we'd started 6 mths ago
Have a TMOUS purchased in May. Latest stock rom/radio. When the battery is super low it goes through the process of shutting down - but when I plug it into the charger the phone will boot instead of staying shut down and charge. Will attempt to boot then go into Sense then shut down again and do the same process all over again. The only way to stop it is to quickly power down and it will stay down and charge. In any of the situations the phone appears to be charging.
Is this a problem with the ROM/Hardware or is something going on with the battery? Have an 8GB SD card with Android (no boot loader) and thats pretty much it.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I doubt that your battery is gone bad, but there are chances, try to condition your battery
Its just a little strange that the when the supposedly dead phone is plugged into a charger it boots up without pressing the power button. Don't think thats normal. Also when plugged into a charger when the battery is "dead" or near dead it should boot up and charge. This one doesn't - it boots - shows an LED charge light and then powers down and reboots. For some reason the battery with such a low charge can't power the phone and charge at the same time.
Will attempt to do a hard reset - maybe HD2 Tweak or something else did something to the registry and try it again. Since its under warranty will request another battery and take it from there. Don't think anything is wrong with the phone's hardware because it functions flawlessly.

If the battery drains and shuts off because it's out of juice, it WILL turn back on as soon as you plug it in, but it shouldn't keep rebooting after that...
Also if it's just shutting down on you in Android without warning when it's low, you need to condition your battery in Android so that it has the correct batterystats info.
No something is wrong. Ran it out of juice in WM this afternoon. Got the error message let it go. Went down and shut off. Plugged it into a car charger USB/cig adapter. Powered up go to tmobile screen/radio code then animation - rebooted did the same thing without touching it a few times then shut off - light led for charging did not appear.
Pulled battery - when charger disconnected - plugged charger - red light no reboot. Tried it again - same results with a hitch - it froze when it was charging - accessed internet explorer then it did a hard freeze - had to press reset button.
Don't know whats going on at this point - it shouldn't have done the freeze. So I'm going to experiement - pull the SD card (has Android on it) and try it again without the card. Try another card, try another charger and see - if I get the same results its either the phone or battery. When I have a charge greater than 5% there are never any problems. Only when battery level 0-1%.

Your battery pins aren't bent are they? (The little guys on the phone side that smash down when you insert the battery)
No, they are fine. I did call T-Mobile this afternoon and spoke to a level 2 tech - they think the battery is bad. Under warranty and have to call HTC tomorrow morning.
The phone does charge and does get to 100%. Drain in Windows seems fine and uniform but it does drop quickly once I get to about 20%.
Because of the reboot issue I think one of the cells is bad. Doesn't seem to want to trickle charge when the battery is that low. Tries to reboot - but can't get enough juice to sustain itself. Should just bypass through the battery as its charging. Either its the battery or somehow the charging circuitry is bad - who knows - with a new battery if it still does it then is the phone's hardware.
Will stop using Android for a while until this gets worked out - although I prefer the browser over WM 6.5.

Def sounds like a battery issue then, if the pins aren't bent because that is the biggest symptom of bent pins.
My Phone won't turn on, even to load into magldr when charged. The phone sometimes vibrates when I plug it in, like it's trying to turn on, but doesn't have enough battery to load into magldr to charge...
The phone worked fine before (except semi-regular restarts, probably due to the memory card), so do you think the battery is the issue? If so should I just buy a new one and hope that it has enough charge to load magldr, then charge, or is there a way to charge the battery whilst it's not in the handset?
Cheers
Try making sure that the pins are both aligned to the battery.
thanks, you just saved me a tenner
can't believe i didn't think to check that...

No Problem
Incidently, i know you got it fixed which is great but for the record and anyone else searching for this.
If your battery is nackard and you cant get to WP7 and MAGLDR isnt able to load to start charging that way you can try to warm up the battery a bit, dont use a direct heat source, but just warm it slightly, dont over do it, or it might blow up, you'll help the chemical reactions inside which "might" be enough to get you in to magldr or even WP7 its self
anyhow, glad you fixed it!
If my battery dies completely, sometimes it wont turn back on and wont charge. But I found that if you pull the battery, plug the charger into the phone, and then put the battery back in while its plugged into the charger, it seems to fix the issue. It turns the device on and begins charging once again.
