My phone shuts down when i open the battery cover, it started happening a few days ago. Sometimes it turns off without opening the battery cover, but it is probably related to the problem, since it started occuring approximately at the same time. The battery doesn't move when i open the battery cover, It doesn't happen every time i open the battery cover, but it is really anoying when it happens, especially when it shuts down by itself.
EDIT: while writing this i opened and closed the back a few times, phone turned off two times
Try this.
keep Ur phone screen downward. Maintaining this scrictly open the battery cover. See if the phn is off..
Do several times. & tell me d results.

Think this is because the screw of the back plastic, i.e. the screw which holds back the battery to the casing, check it or the wire has been broken, and in contact because of other grippers or wires from welding.
Check it out.
OR just it may be a sensor problem.
Dont know, can you upload pictures or video?
Try putting a thick piece of rolled up paper between the battery and back cover

It's probably the sensor, i reflashed back to 2.2 jps and there was no problem so far. So far. There is nothing wierd about the hardware of the phone, so pics and vid are useless, i compared mine with friends G3 and they look identical under the hood, probably the sensors got a bit messed up. We will see if the problem presists, but i doubt it will.
EDIT: The phone was on my desk for like 20 mins, i didn't even touch it, it turned it self off with no sign or reason or warning. I will flash stock firmware and go to SamFu*kingSuck service, i hate this phone, it always dies on me when i need it. I will never ever buy a product from samsuck again. My next phone will be HTC and i will try to get it as soon as possible. Thank you all for making this piece of junk phone better and better every day for us that got screwed by samsuck. Really, a big thanks to all developers that even bother with this junk. Sry for ranting BTW

Hey guys, just received my nexus one and i must say i LOVE IT. side to side with my desire, the styling of the nexus one is just so....classic.
quick problem though, im gonna sound anal i know, when i installed the battery , it kept popping up on the right side. i put it in correctly, with the left side gold contacts going in first but everytime i put the battery down to get it flush so i can put on the battery cover, it would keep popping up. i was able to get the battery cover on by holding my finger down to keep the battery from popping up and than quickly put the cover on.
is this normal or am i doing something wrong? happened with the desire battery too (i know their the same, just thought i should put that out lol)
Not happening to me, battery stays firm down...doesn't look a major issue though

Check your battery to be sure it is not bulging/swelling. If this is the case, your battery is defective and will quickly become unusable and possibly leak.
Call HTC, even if you are not the first owner they will most likely help.
80+ views and only 2 responses!? more input. Just reply if your battery is or isnt like mine. Im even uploading a video to show you guys what i mean. tell me if im being stupid and not putting in the battery correctly!

i did realize that middle part, where the label with the imei etc etc is kind of bulging out a bit. its as if the sticky residue wore off so its preventing my battery to lay flat. i duno, its just an idea.
Hi.I have an xperia x10 which has defective motherboard.I have sent it to service 2 times but they didn't fix it.The first time they just updated the software.The second time in the report says that they made a customisation update.Now my x10 doesn't turn on.The led light is not even blinking when i press the power button.I am charging it right now but nothing happens(no animation,no green light nothing).Can i do something else?I am feeling depressed about SE's service....
If it's not in the right section please move it.Thanks

Do you have another battery? Try that. Might also be the USB charging cable. If you can, request another. They should replace mobile if still under warranty.

They wont give you a new phone, mine has the exact same problem an they trying to say it was dropped and got damaged that way, they gave me a replacement which condition older than one I sent in, then it died again couple months later. And now they wont do anything. I bought mine less than a year ago.

Yes, that same happend to me.
or sometime when I am listen music no can have open the wifi, the x10 come to reboot.
who know where can get a new motherboard?

Take it back again and again and again.
Be persistent.
Sorry to hear that mate... if it would be in my hands, I've swapped it...
SEMC official routines doesn't include even Neocore for stress testing, as Desire has, few X10's had also defective Snapdragons, not that many as HTC had tough...
Just try again, maybe it will venture into more skillful repair technician...
I hope but i don't think so..I will try one more time and If they don't fix it i will sell it to ebay if someone want it for spare parts.
Motherboard Issue on x10a
I bought one of these second hand and I got ripped off. Without warranty I was pretty much stuck when the phone began freezing, rebooting, getting hot and just plain sucking. I upgraded the phone from 1.6 Android to 2.1 then to 2.3. Nothing helped. Beautiful phone but this one's a dud.
Well with nothing to lose I thought long and hard, explored the options and came to one conclusion. I was time to open this thing up and see if I could fix it myself. I downloaded the instructions from the net and went to work. The first time I opened it, cleaned it and flattened out the bubbles that I found on the CPU's copper tape.
I wasn't thinking that that was all that was wrong, and I was right. It still acted up and froze/rebooted. Well I ordered a new phone and when it arrived I decided to do something that I never would have done unless I had the replacement phone to use.
I opened up the X10a once again. Stripped out the PCB (mainboard) from the phone, removed all copper tape, and black tape that covered other components on the PCB. I then covered the PCB in tinfoil but clipped out around the CPU to let it bake more so than the rest of the board. I used a convection oven with the fan turned ON, set it to 210 degrees Celsius, let it heat up for a good long time (20 mins). Laying the PCB perfectly level was tricky, but not impossible. I made sure the CPU was facing up. I used an upside down ceramic plate for the baking surface. I placed the plate with the PCB into the convection oven and baked it for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, I shut the oven off, left the door closed for a minute then propped it partially open for another 2 minutes. After that I opened it up over half way and left it alone for 30 minutes. After that I removed it from the oven and let it sit for another 30 minutes. After that I put it all back together and prayed. Not literally.
I seems to have worked. Before this I couldn't play a game and listen to music or browse the web VIA WIFI and listen to music at the same time for longer than five minutes before the phone would reboot/freeze. I have been playing music and playing games for WAY longer than that now. Same with browsing and music. No problems..Yet. If you're even remotely interested I'll keep you updated. I recorded the entire process and I will be uploading it to youtube later.
I'm so glad this seems to have done the trick, but with a lot of re-bake / hack reflows It may only be a temporary fix. Well, IMO, better that then having a 1/4 functioning "smart" phone. It worked for me, it might now for you, so if you attempt it and over bake your phone's PCB mainboard don't blame me.
As a side note, I am typing this from a Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop. Last year this laptop died due to a flaw in the video card. I rebaked the video card in my home oven and it fixed the problem. Up until now, a year and counting I haven't had an issue with it. Knocking on wood (literally).
Got a drink spilt on me last night and seems some of it got into rye usb connector while the phone was in my pocket.
Phone started vibrating now and again but didn't give it much attention. Put it on charge and found this morning that i had overheating symbol on battery while off. Phone was refusing to register the charger some times and couldn't boot it except through recovery.
Let the battery discharge and put it on charge while off, now it boots but it won't shut down, if i power off it comes straight back up, brushed out the usb port with a tooth brush but can't seem to get it to behave.
Any suggestions on how i might be able to recover it or we think its a hardware fault? Im on it now it boots so otherwise seems to behave ok.

Thanks, ill try clean it with nail polish remove first, failing that ill replace it, hopefully there is no indication of water damage otherwise ill send it off to Vodafone only to have it sent back to do myself a couple of weeks later cause they're so slow.
Its possible its not water/drink related at all though if this port problem is common as it seems.

it very well could be humidity related or maybe steam if you left in the bathroom while you showered etc. I know mine has never been close to water, and yet I am having the same problem. My new PCB is about 2-4 weeks from being delivered since it comes from China. that's a long time to have to deal with the phone acting crazy

Shouldn't be, i take great care, never take it in kitchen or bathroom where there is temperature and humidity variation, case and screen protector at all times. Never dropped it and important always careful with rhetorically connector.
The only remote worry i had was the drink spilt on me, but the phone was in my jeans pocket at the time. I have found that fiddling with a toothpick in the socket gets it to behave sometimes.

So, i drowned my S2 white into the lake. Don´t ask how)
I kept it for 3 days into rice...and after some battery tweaks VOILA! The phone got back to life...i managed to start it 3 times and working perfectly, but i´m having some sort of problems that i don´t manage to understand. It goes like this:
Once the phone is up and running, at the first shutdown/reboot or whatever it´t won´t come back on only if i pull out the battery for about 4-5 hours, plug the charger and once the charging icon appears i can turn it on.
I tried flashing a new firmware, only the PDA file, without luck, on the first reboot needed the phone just died. I mean, even if plug back in the charger it won´t turn on. Now i gotta leave it with the battery out for another 4-5 hours and it´ll come back to life.
Anyone has an idea of what could it be? Thank you!
Maybe there is still moisture or something. It is recommended that you leave that in a bowl of rice for a month.

I was thinking about that. But when i turn it on, i can keep it running for always without problems if i don´t turn it off. If there would be still some moisture inside...it would turn off or something right?

I don't know buddy but it definitely has a little moisture inside of it that's playing a trick on your circuitry. 3 days is a very short time for that. Try leaving it for a month, because if you don't, sooner or later it will die on you suddenly. Just a friendly advice
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
A lake huh? Did you wash the phone under clean water before the drying regime, without battery attached of course? Because if you did not, there may be some conductive residues left over on your phone parts after the water dries off.
Besides rice you could try other absorbent materials. For example silica gel that photographers use in dry cabinets. In South East Asia we have this thing called thirsty hippo to keep clothes cabinets dry.

The battery might be damaged, and todays batteries + water doesn't mix well.
It's recommended that if you water damage a battery, you should change it, in worst case it will blow up.
This morning i mananged to turn it on. With the stock firmware and all and still nothing. After the first reboot dies and for about 4-5 hours i can´t do nothing. Well...i´ll take it to a service store, maybe they´ll know what to do better. Thanks guys
i ever read somewhere that said must leave the phone in the rice for 2 weeks and the container must be closed tight
Rice for two weeks in a sealed container. Plastic containers work well
Remove battery and throw it away. Buy a new one.
Drop the entire phone without battery into pure Isopropanol Alcohol for a couple hours, then stick it in rice overnight, in a warm cupboard.
Change the rice and leave it in the cupboard for at LEAST a week and up to a month. (DO NOT EAT OR SNIFF THE OLD RICE)
Maybe, MAYBE then it should be okay.
Isopropanol can be purchased cheaply from a bunch of places. Drugstores/computer supply places. Make sure and get 100% pure stuff, not the pre-diluted crap.

if the phone was in it can be hardware that taken a good damage (it takes more damaged when its on) and then your phone can have som problems like this. i wish you good luck, and as stated above use rice ! :good: its some good stuff,
I removed the battery, opened the case of the phone, and sealed it into a plastic bag full of rice.
New battery is on the way...i heard about that Isopropanol, and with your advice too i´ll do it. But still...why does he turn on if moisture is still inside? If i don´t turn it off for like, never......it´s working great))))
Hmm open your phone up its really easy to do. Search youtube vids on how to.
Clean your phone with a soft brush and alchohol.
My phone was water damage so I replaced the charging port mic flex which cost about £5 on ebay.
Phone finally charges and connects to the computer after this.
NO RICE WAS HARMED OR USED IN THIS PROCEDURE :laugh:
Don't ask me how but. I managed to revive my old iPhone 4 that fell into the toilet while I was taking a dump, by doing this:
(SGS2 ModeN)
removing the back panel to expose the motherboard and the other goods.
(taking out the 7 screws)
and laying it.
Grab a fan you know.. the hair dryer thingie..
Place it like... 20 cm away from the exposed phone. Turn it on on max, and leave it be for 30 minutes.
My phone was completely okay.. Untill I traded it in for a SGS2 that I happen to own now. Give it a try!
Oh
Leave these parts behind.
Battery
SD Card
SIM
Not sure if leaving it in for hours is wise. Washing to get rid of residues is fine, but soaking too long might dissolve stuff you don't want it to dissolve.

the rice thing is interesting.
while it gets moisture out and around the edges, what does it do to moisture inside?
honestly, I sometimes think sticking it near my window where there's plenty of active airflow does a better job. i've done this for a camera and various electronics that i've dropped. rice first, but honestly let it air out afterward. airflow does a lot more to get through the small crevices.
I heard that blowing hot air could really damage the phone. It‘s still in rice since my first post. I opened the whole case. Tommorow my battery will arrive. I’ll keep you posted with the results. Thanks for your help anyway. Isopropyl has to way for the moment
Sooooooo....3 weeks of rice, no isopropyl, new firmware flashed, new battery and no change. It started on itself when the new battery was inserted but after the first restart, no response for a couple of hours
Any ideas left?
Technically, what you have is kinda like a Tethered iPhone Jailbreak.
I lived with a tethered Jailbreak for MONTHS, so its not that hard to do...?

It could just be dead.
I don't mean to sound negative, but if the phone was powered on and used while wet/moist a short circuit could've occurred. This may have damaged part of the phone which is why you're having these weird issues.
Even if this isn't the case, corrosion could set in from the water damage. This means that even if your phone does recover, after time more issues could occur. Could take a week, could take a month, could take a year.
I'd try the alcohol suggested earlier, then place back into the rice for a solid month.
Like I said, sorry for sounding negative but it sounds like your phone's had it.
After a trip to a shower my HTC One was declared dead (boot loop even after rice, humidity remover, heat, and others) I figured I would open the phone even it it meant that I could destroy it. It turns out that all you really need is patience and tools already available. Sure, I did bent the upper cover but, hey, everything else is intact.
I started by removing the volume button and started using those "guitar picks" around going down. Added some heat to unset the glue and moving slowly I started prying open the right side (when you are looking at the lcd). Than continued moving down until the left side was stuck. After that I went high on the volume button to set the whole right side open.
Now I'm using the other tool (the one that looks like a lever?) I started opening the left side. This side was a lot harder so I applied heat again. After that the glue wasn't an issue and it started to open nicely. Now I have the phone open and I'll see if I can get it working again.
Sorry for the English. I'm too excited to correct the mistakes and I'm not from an English speaking country.
Edit: added tools pictures.
The guitar picks were used to start opening the phone. The green and blue tool were used to open the left/top/bottom sides. The light blue tool was used mostly as a lever on the right side that was already open.
Edit2:
Video will be here shortly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48832250&postcount=22
Overall experience while opening the HTC One (compared to the iPad 2/iPhone 3G/S/4S/iPod touch 5th/Motorola Atrix/Transformer Prime) I would give it a 4. The iPad being a 2 (almost impossible to open without a heat source and nearly impossible to mount a new glass without issues).

Same phone. I just glued it back to position with a superglue (superbonder is the trademark I've used). Used a toothpick to smear it gently and used some phone books to keep things in place. The top aluminum part was bent but the superglue is now holding it.
About the video, I'm not sure I'm willing to open it again. It would be awesome tho..
I have read that under the speaker grills there are screws holding it together.. did you encounter these screws?

Found no screws. It's stuck together in one piece by some clips on the white border only. It's also glued around the same white border.
Follow-up: The phone is still working fine but not charging anymore. I'll wait to open it again later, in about two days or so, and than I'll video the process to see if there's something wrong. Hopefully it's fixable. And I hope I can open it without issues just like the first time. If it doesn't charge I'll see if I can get a new charging port (maybe the water did some damage by rusting the contacts of the port).
It seems that the phone is playing tricks on me. It's charging today.. Go figure..
Could be the water damage. I read where people with different phones talked about the phone acting weird like it just stop charging or the screen won't come on. That would come and go without warning. Remember my father in law damaged a phone once when he was a truck driver and delivering his load in to a walk in freezer. He made many trips in and out and I guess from the extreme cold to heat made it condensate inside the phone. Where are the water damage labels on the phone beings you had it open?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Double post.
Water labels are intact and since htc left Brazil we don't have an authorized to fix it so I opened it and saw that there is no water indicator in red. The water damage sticker is below the flash. Look at the pictures and you'll see a white sticker below the flash and another close to the usb port on the lower side of the phone. Not sure if the second one is a water damage indicator..
I'll keep using the phone till I get some alone time to open it. Tho I'm worried that I might break the phone this time (since it's working again - for no apparent reason).
So, yeah, there's an issue with the charging. Not sure if it's the port or the phone. Tested different chargers and it won't charge while it's on nor when it's off. After a day off it charged (yesterday) but now it won't charge. This sux. I have to find out what's going on. So, yes, I'll have to open it again. I can't have a phone that will be used to drive using gps all day behaving it like that. Phones won't last 4 hours on battery alone while using gps.
Added new picture with tools used..
Sorry for the double/triple post, but it's the best way to keep everyone informed..
If I helped you in any way please consider donating something so I can buy a new phone. The HTC One is dead due to an issue with the USB connector or something else that I'm still not aware. I will use this phone as a test bed from now on to see if I can fix other stuff without breaking too so I do need a new phone. You can donate here: http://bit.ly/1a9vqqg
Thanks and enjoy the video! I hope it helps a lot of people.
A video will be uploaded here: (it's 04:37am GMT -2) and still 205 minutes left to upload. Video will be 720p and it's 1.2gb so yeah, it will take a while. But now I'm off to bed. And sorry for my english. I'm ok writing but I'm so so when speaking. I said I would edit the video but since it's just shy of 19 minutes I figured I would leave it like that.
If you guys have any idea on what to do to help me fix the charging issue I would see if I can try that now that the phone can be easily opened. :fingers-crossed:
