[q] big battery problems :(

Hi,
I just recieved my HD2 two weeks ago and already my battery is now broken.
I have been running froyostone and i was talking to a friend and my phone ran out.... I charged it booted it in windows and end up getting a message that my battery is now broken...
is this a hardware problem, a software problem or an actual thing that has happened..
is this normal and is there a way to fix a battery or do i have to actually replace for a new one?
would froyostone have any chance got in this problem to break my battery?
leave me your opinions

what did the message say?

On the windows OS. It says something like " Your battery is broken, please replace it. It canot be charged"

Never heard of that, although it's quite a blunt message, does it not charge over pc as well as through a wall charger?

try to turn the phone off, connect the charger and leave it for some time. also check the battery pins. I have never heard of such error message...

I suspect the pins might be bent/broken inside the device.

Try someone's battery to check whether it's the pins' problem or the battery's

guys it is fixed. it is a bug as what i did... i took off the battery out of my HD2 and i put it back and it started charging again.

HD2 dead?

Hello,
please help me with an advice: since today afternoon, my HD2 (European type) looks dead... I have an Android NAND ROM (with sense, I think from CM7 series, but I don't remember anymore, cause it worked perfectly since a few months). Suddendly, as I wanted to recharge the battery today afternoon, I've observed that the LED indicating the charging is not on! As I've tried to turn it on (wake up), nothing happened, black screen, no LED, no buttons light. I have put out the battery and back in, tried a reset (red small button near the battery), but it simply don't want to turn on! I have checked the charger with another HD2 from a friend and the charger is ok... What can I do about it? I have really no idea what's going on , cause there is no reason for such a behaviour (like bad flashing trial or similar).
Thank you in advance for every help!
Conrad

...nobody?
I want to add that if I connect it with my pc through the usb cable, nothing happens as well... and my pc won't recognize it (no reaction at all)...
Please, nobody else had such problems?

Your friend has hd2? Try their battery, if it works your battery is flat (can't charge when off when magldr installed)
If the other battery doesn't work check battery pins carefully.

Thanks for your reply, samsamuel.
I have already tried to use other battery, but it doesn't change anything. What do you mean with "checking pins"? The battery contacts, on the battery and on phone are looking very good (the phone is only about 7 months old)...

Sometimes one of the three little pegs on the phone that the battery presses against gets bent.
What about your battery in friends phone?
Other than flat battery or bent pins I can't think of anything else except something serious blew on the mainboard.

The battery works well in my friend's phone (has about 48% capacity). I have also tried his battery in my phone, with no success.
How can occure such a major hardware problem, without any reason?

Sorry, no clue. Random hardware failure? Crash causing hang and overheat? Someone messing with it whilst out of the room? Power surge? Got warranty?

HD2 very expencive brick????

Last night I playing games on my Leo(MIUI Rom (Lady last 1.6.10 MAGLD android)),and phone was freezed(no respons on any buton).I pull out batery and gona to restart it,but i cant to turn it on.Left it on charger all night but I cant to turn on,cant to turn it on eather in tricolor,its death.

When you click power button to try switching it on, nothing happens? No vibration, nothing on screen?
Do you have someone with HD2 to try second battery? Maybe it is not bricked but only battery died.

Well to be honest Icdo not think your HD2 is bricked, it sort of sounds like you may have a dead battery. With MAGLDR you can only charge your HD2 while you have the ROM you are using booted up and running. Also try this just in case your battery os not dead but your power button is malfunctioning. Take the back cover off and press the small reset button on the back, it will be red, yellow, or green. Also make sure to have your charger connected to your HD2 in case the battery is low, it will start charging about half way through the boot up process. I will check back in on thos thread later today.

follow T-Macgnolia advice, if you can find another battery just to try if phone does boot up... after making sure that its not a battery problem ( i hope it does ) than could be that your phone is bricked and for now only jtag method could fix it.

I've never, ever heard about a really bricked HD2 unless a faulty hardware... In you case it might be the battery or a hardware issue.
HD2 is almost impossible to brick.

Unless you flash the wrong radio, that's basically it.
OP, make sure none of your pins bent when you did your battery pull. Sometimes one of the pins gets bent and it won't turn on, you have to make sure all 3 pins are touching the battery.

I think the answer to his question is between the lines :

Since Android doesn't/never brick devices and he hasn't flashed anything and his battery was working fine, Simply it's a bent pin
orangekid is correct.

Thanks for yours answers friends.
Pins are Ok.
I try to hard reset but nothing.
So when baterry is empty i cant charge it with MAGLDR i didnt know that.
Maybe is only batery empty.
I dont know no one with HD2 .
Is the same batery with Desire HD ?
Can i mesure voltage on batery i have multimetar at home.
Im having wall charger for my bluetooth headset with LED when charging its light RED,so i put HD2 withaout batery its green(no charging) and put batery in HD2 its light RED(charging).
P.S: Sorry for all this questions but im use to conect to net over HD2,
now im on dialup and this is very slow way for surfing and googling around.

Ok, So the phone is turned off. When you plug it in, don't you see the orange light even for 1 second?
Also, was the phone really hot when it freezed?

No there is no orange led turn on,phone is cold,i even try to charge batery direcly,voltage on batery is 3.75V.

Head down to your nearest T-Mobile store, most likely they have a battery or two you can test it with. If that ends up being the case, theres also chargers you can get pretty cheap that charge batteries stand-alone, along with a spot for a usb cord to charge a battery and phone at once. Got mine off ebay for 4$

Yeah, I can't see how you can brick your device without actually flashing something.
I, on the other hand, flashed a bunch of things like an idiot and I think I really may have bricked my poor HD2. It gets no power, and I've tried a second battery and that doesn't work either although it does turn on with external power.
Here's a link to my thread if anyone has any insight for me.

I meant the moment it froze, was the phone hot?

Ye the phone was hot i played drag racing on line with wi fi conected when it froze.

If it was really hot, then it could be a hardware failure.

Mine also got hot while running gps and now appears to be dead, have tried another battery but get no lights when pluggin in, no bent pins, is it the motherboard are they cheap/easy to fix?

Thanks, i thought i briked my phone , i leaft it to charge this night and when i wake up it won't turn on, i was very scared until i read here that could be a battery pin problem so i saw that i had the middlle pin to high, just lowered i little the pin and the phone booted up, thanks a lot.
But now i'm worried because here i read that if the phone get's to hot has changes that it will brick, what would be the best solution to not brick the phone: downclock or just pray and don't use android at full capacity?
Sorry for my english but i'm better at reading then writing

Bricking caused by HD2 beeing too hot ??? I doubt it...
Nevertheless it is not adviced to always overclock at full speed...

Bricking from an overheat is quite common, I've seen a good number come through my store with that issue.
For some reason alot people think the dashboard is a great place for their phone while driving around Phoenix o.0

I'll throw this suggestion out there. Most likely it's not the problem, but maybe you can try charging your phone in a different outlet.

HD2 dead !!

Hey folks, i have a HD2 which isn't turning on. I received a call and it just switched off. Now there is no activity in it at all. No led when connected to a charger. I had MIUI installed on the phone.
The repair people say that the motherboard needs to be replaced which would cost approx 12000INR.
Any way i could revive it back?
Please suggest. Thank you!

You can try the the freezer trick, put the device in a zip lock bag and put it in the freezer for a few minutes and then see if you can turn it on or charge it. You can also take a old USB cable and cut the mico USB end off and strip the wires back then touch the read to the + on the battery and the black to the - on the battery for a minute or two and then try to boot the device. I sorta souds like you were using MAGLDR and the battery died. You can not charge the device while it is off with MAGLDR. So I would try charging the battery first.

Thank you for replying. You're right i was using Magdlr. I'll try what you said

I've got the exact sam prob, the HD2 was using MAGLDR, and now it won't start (except for a few times it did), but I honestly can't figure how - since once it had been charged on an external batery charger, and then it turned on and worked for a while, but now it won't work with a charged battery...because I tried using it with another HD2 phone's battery which also has MAGLDR and which works (even with my phone's battery).
The pins have been changed, and it worked then also for a while I've been said, but it's not working again now.
Any help please?
TIA
P.S. I've tried ziplock...15min...nothing :/ How to try the USB? Which wires should I connect to which pins please?

something like this

but be very carefull, if you have an external batt. charger that would be best

or mini usb, or even an old usb printer cable, with the chunky end, , it doesn't matter which type.

Thanks samsamuel,
Seen the +/- signs on the back of the battery late, after having meassured the voltage, which is 4.14V (should I do the USB charge then even and how long is it safe since my battery powers up another HD2)?
TIA

if teh battery works in another device, then no, theres no point, its not that.
4.14 is fine, i think it goes up to about 4.2/4.3 when full, drops to the low 3.x when drained.
If the freezer trick didn't help either, then its gotta be either hardware, or something totally catastrophic, so if its an option for you, id try JTAG, failing that, id be considering using it for parts, , buying one with a cracked screen perhaps, and swapping your screen into it, ,
dont take my word for it, though, read learn and try things, you never know.

[Q] Phone wont turn on without being plugged into power

Hi Guys,
Im a total noob here, first time flasher, but ive recently flashed my phone to Typhoon Cyanogen mode 7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951)
Before this HSPL 2.08 was installed, radio was installed and magldr was installed.
I went through bootloader, used ad recovery and installed from the zip, the phone seems to work great and normal, until i unplug it from power.
THE PHONE JUST WONT TURN ON WITHOUT BEING PLUGGED INTO POWER! In which it says its full battery when plugged in.
How do i fix this?

bent battery pin?

Nah its never had any issues and doesnt have without being plugged in normally. Have i missed a step in flashing?

no, , problem like that is hardware, nothing to do with what's on the phone.
so its gotta be a dead battery, a bent battery pin, or something broken on the actual mainboard.
if you're sure all three pins are sticking out 90degrees square from the casing, then your next step has to be checking the battery. got a multimeter? test the battery output, , know anyone else with an hd2? or a shop that has one that may let you test the battery?
