Any idea what this means? Never seen it before and I don't see it in the manual.

According to this HD2 thread you should try a battery pull
With my evo it meant it was overheated and needed to cool down and sometimes a battery pull to reset it.
Evo's overheated? Wow. Were you o/c'ing?
No. That's Florida in the summer. Hot as balls. The heat of charging while driving with no AC really pissed off the evo.

Are you using it while charging as you mentioned? If so is the screen set to full brightness?
Have you checked your uptime vs. awake time? it should be awake 15% at max...menu>settings>about_phone>battery
Do you live in an area of fringe reception?
Are you using any high power draw apps? e.g. something is using wifi or searching for gps indoors?

yeah i forgot the tp2 battery fits the hero too.
The other day while at was at work my phone started getting hot. I pulled it out and was like "What the Hell." It said I was roaming. I was standing outside at a location I'm always at. Turned it off and turned it back on and it fixed it. Could be a possibility.
Hot Hero
Mine was also getting like that. I thought it was the battery because while charging it would be very hot and would not go above 19 percent charge. I took it into Sprint Repair and they checked the battery and said it was "fine". She told me that the Hero was Known for having "low battery" issues. LOL, I told her that this was not the Low Battery issues they were speaking of. Anyways, came home and found my usb chord for charging had a knick in it, so switched it out and been pretty good since.
Long Story, eh? I guess I wanted to say, check the charger for any damage.

most htc phones are famous for having crap battery life. they cram more & more higher specs in the phones and give us small batteries. thank god for ebay!
yea so i changed chargers with the tp2 also, hmm, yea the phone gets hot while its off and charging, reception in this area is pretty good and its not looking for gps cuz when i was using the phone the only thing i was doing was talking which does make it hot but yea nothing else like no wifi or anything, the tp2 gets hot when theres like tethering or when someone is talking on it but its pretty cool otherwise and that screen is huge!
I was just wondering if it's normal that your battery gets warm while you charge your phone. I'm using the usb port on my head unit in the car and I wonder of it's any different?

yeah - mine's charging right now and it's warm enough to feel thru the case i've got on the phone. On the samsung vibrant there was a problem with them getting real hot as in too hot
okay i need help i have been been jumping from rom to rom trying "EVERY" fix that its on this site trying to fix this issue flashing kernal after kernal but nothing is working i thought it was my battery but i brought it to a sprint tech and he said the battery tested good so now i'm really lost okay here it goes My battery will drain from 100% down to 80% within 5 minutes and usually will be dead within 2 1/2 hours after being off of the charger with moderate usage such as calls text and checking email. and then the craziest **** happen to me when i was trying the htc fix posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&highlight=htc the phone will hit 0% and shutdown; I'll place it on the charger (AC wall charger, not the usb adapter) until the orange LED stops blinking; I'll turn the phone on and once it's fully booted it will read 53%......all of this within 5mins of going dead! WTF!!! have the most recent radios/PRI/PRL with this rom stock no tweaks and before like 2 week ago ny battery life was great i was running decks newest but i flash the flyer express and the rainy day rom and ever since battery life went crazy
Have you tried a different battery?
Nah that's my next move but bye the tech at Sprint saying my battery was good figured I wasn't the battery

How on earth can they test that? Ph wait its showing full charge it must be good :-/ anyway how old is it? Mine started showing its ass after about a year and became in bearable latley. SBC never worked well after the first charge for me it wouldn't charge unless I flashed something else then back. Weird I know. Anyway I bought 2 extended batteries off eBay and it came with an external charger. My silicone cover fits it without a battery cover so it's hardly noticeable. In the morning before work I grab the spair and last all day now streaming the radio. Oh btw just in case anyone else streams just as much as I do, sprint WILL send you a letter if too much of it is from roaming. And no I have stock prls.

I have 3 EVO's in the house so I have bought about 6 batteries off of ebay with these small dock chargers just to keep on hand. When a battery is getting low, I just shut down the phone and insert a freshly charged one. They are really cheap, $3 or $4 each. Some of them come from US sellers so they arrive in a couple of days. They seem to work just as good and last just as long as the ones supplied by HTC, probably made in the same factories in China.
I should have just bought several of those instead of the extended but I kinda have gotten used to the silicon case holding my battery in. When its swap time there is no prying fingernails under the cover. And the camera seems to he more protected.

About 2 days ago my phone shut down & wouldn't turn iron. Charging made the LED turn red, so I looked online, but my phone turned on after about 30 minutes of browsing.
Now it's charging very slowly (AC), when speaking to my wife on Tango/Skype while charging, the battery would charge slowly but it would charge. Now whenever we do it, my phone still discharges & charging normally takes a lot longer.
Tl;Dr: Read the title.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

Red light of death makes the battery a potato. Buy a new one and replace my dood. Or see if Google will replace.

Hi,
I have a Nexus 4 for about a year, and until the last 2 months I had no problems at all. I started noticing my phone shut down after about an hour because of my battery swelling. I replaced the battery and I had great battery life for about 2 days, after that it drained super fast.
A few times my phone shut down and a red LED started blinking, I fixed it thanks to a thread in this forum.
But now, I had 100% battery and it turned town. I tried to start the phone but nothing happened. Connected the charger and pressed the power button a long time until a red LED showed but for a long time.
The blinking LED didn't worry me because I knew my battery drained and it fixed but now the battery is full, the LED lasts for long time and no matter what I do, nothing turns on the phone.
I don't know what to do and I'm really close to throw it away.
Please help.

I've sent it to a lab and they said my voltage component of the motherboard has gone and they charge me for 100$. Is it possible?

Well, you can find new logic boards over 100$ on eBay, but with the replacement fees and the cost of a new logic board, the price seems reasonable...
