Hi all
About 4 weeks ago my XDA 2 was out of Battery and i wanted to charge it in the craddle. But when i put the XDA 2 in my craddle (with attatched power supply) the status led only turned RED and nothing else happend. After 30 minutes the status led turns off. I can not power on the xda, not with a soft reset and even not with a hard reset. So i thougt that the battery is maybe dead (too old or whatever ) and i bought a new one....but..... still the same problem!
When i charge the battery directly in the craddle (that works! led on the craddle changes after a few hours from orange to green) and put it after that back into the XDA 2.......... nothing happens....
please help
Hi,
I have the very same problem since month ago, I upgraded to wm2k5 2.03.32wwe, did a change in the system, and after 24h, my phone went dead
Did you do a rom upgrade or in any way altered something in the system? Let us know if you get it work, ok?
J.
The only ROM Update i made was the official one from O²... And this was half a year ago.
Well but..... I SOLVED IT! But i cannot say how... The only thing i've done is that i opened the XDA2 and deconstructioned it in its parts... Well and when i "just for fun" tried to connect the battery to the battery connectors..... DING DING So i assembled it again and now it works fine!
I also cleaned a lot of dirt out of it, maybe this was the reason. I will keep an eye on this...
But thanks for your efforts...
Greetings Ben
Da*n it, you lucky guy,
I wish I get off with such a simple solution. I do not have the right tools but I am out just now and getting the things I need. Fingers crossed
Red light means, you have problem with battery. At first check, if you have closed red lock on the bottom of battery. There is no switch to sense rear cover, so, it doesn't matter, if it put or not.
If battery is installed, lock closed, but you still have red light - try to obtain for a minute working battery from another Himalaya and have a try. If it does not work too... seems it's a hardware problem there.
Same thing happened to me I just took the battery out and left it for a few minutes then back in and it works

Thanks for your reply guys. I've tried everything you guys suggested, but I've been unsuccessful in starting my PDA. It's been like this for 2 months, I've tried taking out the battery, changing the battery etc, but still nothing. So I figured out it's probably a problem with the b/l mode, since I'm unable to enter b/l at all. I gave it to of mine who's a little more tech savvy, he's got the right tools to take the chip out, and if he can manage to flash the b/l. Has anyone done that. If yes, please advise. My friend has fixed some BIOS's for laptops etc, but this will be his first PDA. He said that he doesn't have a board for the PDA chip but will try to work it out some way around. Perhaps someone can advise me where to get that board from?
Anyway, I will keep you posted,and if you guys have any more ideas or experiences, please share.

Seems just like the typical battery problem, it's likely that your battery is giving up, so it arrives to a point that it might not seem fully discharged but it isn't capable of delivering more current, so the phone shuts off, this is likely to happen when you use the most "demanding" apps.
The problem will go -almost surely- when you change the battery.
bye
Right solution?
Dear Ilio,
Just read your problem, and I think I'll have the same. Did the new battery solves the problem? really wanted to know, I will need to buy a new one as well.
Yours sincerly,
Pieter
I bought a new battery and the problems are gone
pm me if you want more information

I think my Touch HD is Dead I am not sure about it too because i can't seem to power it on ... So anyone with some idea before i call the HTC
Open the back cover and press the little red reset button.
Hopefully that works. Mine sometimes will do that, and reset fixes it.
Thanks for the replay mate I tried it still its not powering on
Perhaps the battery has died, tried plugging the power cable in?
Actualy, i have my new HD dead after two weeks working. Two days ago my battery didn´t charge and orange led stops after a few seconds of plugg charger. Seller has sended today a new battery to try it. No success. Friday i´ll receive a new device to change them. It seems problem is due to internal charging circuit. I´ve had "good lucky" because my HD has crashed before 15 days. One day more and i must to call HTC services and wait for 1 month at least. In Spain HTC service is very slow..
Good lucky!

of course as a citizen of an EU member country, your sale contract is with the supplier and not HTC so go see them and get a replacement
might have to do some research first so you get your argument together
read this page: http://europa.eu/scadplus/leg/en/lvb/l32022.htm
especially:
"Consumer goods must be in conformity with the contract of sale.
*snipped*
The seller is liable to the consumer for any lack of conformity which exists when the goods are delivered to the consumer and which becomes apparent within a period of two years unless, at the moment of conclusion of the contract of sale, the consumer knew or could not reasonably be unaware of the lack of conformity."
In my case, the difference into 15 days and 16 days is that i can get a new device quickly before 15 days running or i must to contact after 15 days with HTC service (with RMA protocol, etc) and send my device to repair/change. I know i have two years of guaranty but when i say "good lucky" is due to fast time of solution of my problem. 3 days is not 1 month..
So, it´s better work hard with our new devices as soon as u have them in your hands. If they must crash, better be soon..

I happy Guys !!!
My Touch HD suddenly Risen from Death and its working Great as ever now ..... I can't say how thankful i am to all you guys for your kind words and advises
THANKS GUYS
I think My Laptop made it to sleep a bit longer after i unplugged and plugged into a power outlet it started it self
My Touch HD is dead too
I have been struggling with my HTC Touch HD which I got less than a year ago. It suddenly shut down. I tried to recharge the battery, master reset, and everything you can think of. And nothing can keep it on for couple minutes.
I suspect it is the battery. I have order a new battery. Hope it will work. If it is the charging circuit, I will have no hope but get a new phone.
Can anyone verify HTC Touch HD has a charging circuit problem? BTW, my bluetooth and radio went out several months before, and now the whole thing goes out.

How did you fix your Bluetooth?
Mine is having a problem now. It doesn't activate when I put it to "ON". However, when I restart my phone, the bluetooth icon at the top of the screen is on indicating that bluetooth is active. However, when I try to disactivate it from Communication Manager, it shows that bluetooth is actually off. Any idea what's wrong with it?
My phone now doesn't boot up. When I switch it on, it just vibrate as if the phone is switching on but there's nothing on the display. The battery is fully charged. Previously, when I switch it on it says "Microp Mismatch 0. Please update your Microp's firmware". I manage to get into bootloader and flashed ROM with XANNYTech's Leo 2.5 and used it for about a day before it died. Anyone help please?
Hi, what are the symptoms of software bricked HD2?
I have HTC HD2 but not sure whats wrong with it, no power what so ever, no leds etc however the battery does charge. (Strange I know)
I got the phone like this so not sure how it happened
Thanks
Maybe the display have a problem not lighting up or something!
To tell you the truth; HTC HD2 is a bit difficult to software brick it imo! Take it back from where you bought it and change it!
The screen is fine, it doesnt connect to the pc or anything.
It might have been bricked by flashing TMOUS radio, just wanna know what the symptons are if that happens. If there the same symptoms as mine Ill send it off to get JTAG'd
I bought it faulty.

That sounds like a bricked HD2() like in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068989.
Thanks for the link, could be a software or hardware fault. I'll try and get a phone shop to look it.
When you say "the screen is fine".... how do you know if its not displaying anything. Could be an LCD fault, how do you know the battery is charging...??
Im a bit confused by this one.
Apologies if I've missed something obvious, somewhat drunk.
As your on O2 im gonna assume your in the UK and its an EU HD2 (T8585).
If so, it cannot be bricked by flashing a tmous radio.......
I know its charging because the battery warms up and I checked in my other HD2 lol.
Its not an LCD fault as it doesnt even connect to the PC etc. Its just dead apart from that it charges the battery.
You wanted the symtoms of a hardware or hard bricked HD2. Well they are as follows.
1. The HD2 will vibrate and the hardware buttons will light up but it will not display anything but a black screen, not the first splash screen.
2. You can not boot into bootloader by holding the volume down button down while powering on the HD2.
3. On some hard bricked HD2s they will still apear to charge but it is not really charging the battery properly because the charging software is not working properly, thos is why your battery gets hot.
4. The HD2 is not recognized by the computer at all or only as Qualcomm something.
These are the symtoms I know for a hard bricked HD2.
Yours sounds like a case of a hard bricked HD2. In case the shop that you carry your HD2 to does not offer a JTAH service for the HD2 I can put you in contact with someone that can JTAG your HD2.
Thanks for that, How much does the person you know charge? I can get it Jtag'd for around £40
Sorry it tooke a little while to get back to you but the person I know charges $50 USD plus you pay whatever shipping and handling it is to ship the HD2 to him. But he lives in the US so you might be better of if you can get it done localy. But the guy I know is very good.
Ok thanks for that, Ill let you know if I cant get it done locally.
Hey there. I have my Galaxy S II (GT-I9100) for about a month, and since a couple of days ago it has been behaving very weirdly about USB and charging.
First of all, the phone thinks it has USB connected at all times. When I go to the settings menu try to enable mass storage it says USB is already connected, even though it isn't!!!
Sometimes when I start the phone it goes to that USB Kies screen and says "connected", when absolutaly no cables are connected AT ALL!!!
When I turn the cell off, remove the battery and plug it back in, without turning the phone on, the recharging battery icon appears, but blinks with a drained battery icon with a yellow exclamation sign and a thermometer which I sincerely have no idea what that means.
It also takes ages to recognize the power charger or when I really connect the USB cable. And finally, when I take them off, it also takes a while to "perceive" they're off and remove the charging lightning from the battery icons.
PRETTY PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP ME OUT, as I don't have time to take the phone to service, and didn't really want to do that
Thanks!!!
This has also happened to me and loads of other SGS2 users! Although usually it only happens sporadically and not constantly. It seems that it's a bad soldering job or dust/dirt has gathered in the microUSB port. You might be able to fix it, if you're *really* careful.

Last night my phone wouldn't even start charging, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. With the smallest screwdriver I could find, I carefully 'lifted' the tiny PCB in the USB jack while blowing in at the same time. Sure enough, some sand particles fell out, and I haven't gotten carmode'd in nearly 13 hours now. Previously it would do it once every 15 minutes. So far so good, it seems.

Thanks for the help... but what is PCB? Is it the connector inside the "hole"?
Tried that and it stopped thinking USB was connected the whole time... on the other hand, it doesn't detect when I connect the USB cable
Lets try keeping 1 thread
Therere are other threads about it.

You can't talk on plural when you only point out one thread. And I've read that, but it isn't the same as my phone doesn't go in "car mode".
My phone's problem only resembled a problem JaX3RiR briefly mentioned in the middle of the thread.
I tried googling it before posting anything anywhere, but couldn't find anything useful.
Please don't try to look like a smartass like that and embarrass yourself. If you got nothing to add to the thread, it's best if you sit out of it. It's much more appreciated when helpful people like JaX3RiR post...
Hi,had the same problem,tried reflashing back to original firmware,but still had the same problem,,the only way i could boot the phone was through recovery mode,(reboot)Had to send phone back for possible repair??cut a long story short they sent me a new phone,,They said they couldnt repair the fault,something to do with the usb charging system,,So i would advise anyone with this specific problem,to send phone back,and get a replacement..hope you get it solved
Thanks mate, I sent mine today as well... I hope they act the same with me, as I'm afraid customer service around here always tries to incriminate the user not to use the warranty...

There is no reason to be angry, I'm just trying to help, and just wanted that we all post in one thread, so it would be easier to track later.
I just posted longest thread. Here is another one if it helps to justify:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151863
I'm pretty sure you have the same problem. Sometimes Vlingo starts, sometimes phone thinks its charging, when trying to boot it shows battery image and won't boot, can boot only recovery and do restart from there.
Get of the high horse when people are trying to help you.
Are you sure you didn't connect USB cable upside down or bended USB port with the cable?
I have no idea what Vlingo is, and obviously I didn't connect the USB cable upside down. I don't think I bended the port with the cable since it still recognizes the cable for charging or booting and going directly into Kies mode, for example.
I am not on any high horse when people try to help me, as you could see my response towards the guys above. Your post wasn't sounding helpful at all, you were just sounding like "hey, you dumass noobie, don't open a new thread for yourself, check the forums first".
By the way, I also took a look at that thread you posted before posting mine, but I have no idea what is "car mode" on my phone...
Sorry if I sounded rough. I thought it is similar issue, so I posted link to longer thread. I had this issue myself.
Peace. Let us know what the service say .
This happened to me one week ago while on holiday....that temp indicator while charging plus the other stuff you mention....
Plus the phone went into flight mode and won't come out....
Got home and did a reset and phone now doesn't recognise sim card...
great phone but I'm a little disappointed

Hello,
Had the same problems aswell, only mine had a bunch of other problems aswell:
When I shut down my mobile it restarts itself and then shows a yellow exclamation mark with an tempgage. Only way to turn on my phone is to connect it with the charger, turn of my phone again, remove the charger and then the phone turned itself on again but without the temp gage.
My phone also thinks its charging when it is not, and when I am actually charging it, its not charging.
Also my PC does not recognize my phone so I am not able to update it.
I have also sent my phone for a repair, I will keep you guys posted.
greets from the netherlands
Yep, mine only got fixed by going into service. It got its mainboard warranty switched.
T- Mobile sent me a replacement phone
They seemed to know the symptoms when I explained what was happening
Same fault for me. Mainboard replaced, works fine now.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
How did you guys get it fixed? Did you have to ship the phone out somewhere? How long did you have to wait to get it back? What was the process?
Thanks.
Mine is going to be repaired in two weeks.
I was the 8th SGS2 since tuesday which came in the repair center.
The repair guy said it is a manifacturing fault.
The phone gets hots, and outside temperature is cold, so it makes moisture in the phone.
This cause the phones power management to get fu up (SGS2 has a small battery inside of it, and that gets fu up). Only fix is replace hardware, but 9 of 10 times Samsung gives the fault to the customer. They say it has water damage and can't be fixed in warrenty...
I'm going to write a huge article about it, and I hope it will get published by a lot of site's soon. Phones he admitted having the problem: SGS1, SGS2 and SGSN.
I charged my GS2 2x by USB and it's discharged faster than by the sector
The USB power isn't enough for charge up the GS2 correctly
Are you guys suffering from rapid battery discharging, i have all of the above symptons but my battery drains within hours...I`ve even bought a brand new battery off ebay that is exacly the same issues... I`d like to send it back to O2 but i`ve rooted and flashed custom firmware...
