Very true and not a big deal, most phones will be going to this. It is completely new battery tech too. Lithium Polymer instead of Ion. Much longer lasting, so 2 years of trouble free use should be no problem. Hell, Im going on 3 years with the original battery.
omg that is worst thing , if the phone freeze we need to wait untill battery die. if we install custom rom and it wont start we need to wait untill battery die to enter recovery image ,

No, it will be like the n7, which has a way to turn off the phone if it freezes with out a battery pull

No, like the HTC One X it will have a "kill switch". Which is usually holding power + vol down or similar.
I'm sure you can power it off by holding down the power button if the phone freezes.
People thought the N7 battery wasn't replaceable until they started popping off the back and it was just attached with a connector.
For all we know, those two Torx screws near the microphone will allow us to remove the back.
PS: Stay in school, james300.
This wasn't that hard to find.

Can I let my battery drain all the way or will it brick my phone? U red some stuff about it and it freaks me out. I don't want to loose aan 600 eur phone.

** MOD EDIT **
For clarity, if you have problems booting/charging after battery goes flat, do the below and all will be well:
Leave your phone off
plug it in to charge for approx 30 minutes
unplug it and pop out the battery (so it will boot)
replace the battery
boot up the phone
plug it in while it is booting up.

What did you read??
no it wont, no danger at all.
i have no idea where all the rumours are coming from regarding the fear of MAGLDR and brickage, in fact it is far easier to completely brick your phones in a Windows Mobile envoronment than android through MAGLDR.
although in reality it is very very diffucilt to brick a HD2, once i lost all laptop power during a HSPL flash and it was still fine....
Draining battery / Running NANDroid / Flashing through MAGLDR will never brick a phone. EVER. PERIOD.
the only way people have ever bricked a HD2 is when they have a TMOUS handset (american model only) and flash a 51 radio. And even then it can still be revived through JTAG

It wont brick your phone but you may have to pull the battery to charge it. Some users are claiming that it wont charge and the battery has to be pulled. As long as you have HSPL installed your pretty much bullet proof (dont try it though )
Ricey
but the phone doesnt charge while it is turned off!!
Android is dangerous on the hd2. It won't brick, but it will ruin your touchscreen, not many will tell you though

i think it's because people running their phone with android let it gets way way way too hot and it damage the screen but it can also happen to window also
download tempmonitor and keep it under 102F and you should be good
btw i'm positive a person using android would be on their phone more then a person on window 6.5
oh yeah lmao btw i'm saying from personal experience
before i had android on my device i was using window OS, and screen died on me i think it was because i was watching movies on my phone but ehhhh HTC replace it for me for free (^_~)

Why on earth will it "ruin" your touchscreen? I have been using Android on my HD2 since day 1 and also on my HD1 since day 1 and my touchscreen is fine. If this was an issue there would be endless amount of threads about it.
You've simply had a defective device and blaimed it on you using Android when infact its purely your ignorance.
Hey the other week my laptop battery gave up, I was using msn at the time maybe that was the cause??
Jeez what rom are you using? My HD2 never gets hot!
I admit that my HD1 used to get hot in very early stages of android releases as power management was a real issue but those days are long gone as far as im concerned.

I red when fully discharged the battery will never charge again. Because magldr doesn't support charging. And some ppl posted that it doesnt boot further then the magldr.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Beware magldr:
It's true. If you let the battery die completely, it won't charge anymore. It happened to me. Now I'm waiting for my ebay-bought wall charger for my battery. I just hope that when i manage to charge it, my hd2 still funtions. Cuz letting the battery die while on nand android may cause your nand to get corrupted. Then, you can't even access the bootloader.

Well if that was the case and you was faced with no power then you would simply use a battery charging dock.
So worst case you would be buying a cheap charger.
Oh and to set your mind a rest, it must be bs as ive just turned my phone off and plugged charger in and its charging. Only weird thing is that when I unplug the lead led is still red and I have to remove battery and put it back in to power on phone.
? Never mind. That is not helping in any way..
slayerns said:
i was too afraid to discharge it fully cuz we don't have lamps in our house and i only use my phones backlight and flashlight for studying. But I told my friend with hd2 to discharge it fully and the next day he called me with his "house" phone sayign "wtf did you do!". So yes it is dangareous!!!....

Anyone who has done much flashing of custom roms knows that every once in a while, you gotta pull the battery to stop bootloops or other nonsense. What do you do in the case of having a non-removable battery? I've been wondering this for a little while ha
Long press power is like disconnecting the battery.

well the ONEX has an unremovable battery too so you just hold the power button for 10 seconds and it will restart as if you pulled the battery, so i think the ONE will be the same
Awesome, thanks guys
IMO, thats better than a battery pull. How often have you had a nice case on your frozen phone. It's a 5 second battery pull that turned into a nice 1-2 minute hassle. This is awesome when your on a time constraint and busy at the same time.
After seeing the information from the S4, I am happy to say the HTC One will be my next phone when it is released.
Seriously, even with Sammys just holding power is better then a battery pull.

I have a problem with my htc, I buy it by the Net. And I installed Android Jely Belly, the phone didn't have a range, so I install again, problem didn't dissapear. After 4 days phone's screen started flashing a white, and next it off. I couldn't on him so I go to the service and they reapired him and install android after some days he off and I couldn't start him so I give him to the service, and next they installed windows 7. Phone worked aproximatelly a week and brick a once again. And I don't know what can I do with him? Can I repair him? Htc do not give signs of life.
Maybe it's problem with battery I don't know, service man sayed that there were many viruses on the phone.

Hey xda'ers my nexus 4 just crapped out with the flashing red light of death. I've read it's just a dead battery and I should let it charge overnight. My situation was I am currently using slim bean 4.3 and was flashing between kernels, went from faux to semaphore to hells core and on hells I ran antutu and after that my phone went into a coma. I had a full battery when flashing so I'm at a loss as to why the flashing indicates a deader than dead battery. Any help appreciated.

Try this before anything else:
Plug in the factory charger to the wall and to your device for 1 minute. Wait to see if a battery charging symbol appears on screen. If it does then press and hold the power button for at least 15 seconds. If the aforementioned battery icon doesn't appear then plug your device in again but this time for one hour. After one hour of charging disconnect the cable then quickly reconnect it after waiting one second. Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds. The device should power on, if not repeat the last sequence of steps but substitute the one hour of charging with 10hrs of charging (overnight).
I hope it works for you, Report back and give an update!

If it's boots up with 0% battery I think that you should try to use another battery and to see if it was a battery problem.

Oops..Yes my bad, so take it to service center and tell them to change your battery.
Well I let it sit overnight charging and the red light still flashing. I can get the phone to Google boot screen then nothing. Screen goes black and back to the flashing. I can't get onto fastboot mode or recovery mode to flash to stock no button combos work. So I guess either I send it back to LG or maybe send it to josh(conexxion2005 on xda) and see if he can help. Thanks guys for all the help guys but I think I'm dead in the water.

The last thing you can do [and the only which fix this kind of problem] is turn off device, open the back case [2 screws], remove the battery flex cable and put it back.
Now try...before you RMA it.

I'm gonna try that but now I just realised that my T6 torx isn't small enough to get the screw's out. I'll take it to work and try to mess with it there. Seeing as my device is rooted and various other they'll surely not warranty it. But I'll try not to @#$% it up any further.

From what I understand, as the battery is well- cheap and crap if you run a benchmark and the system draws a lot of power it can knock itself out due to the voltages or something.

Phone actually working without battery???
Okay this is weird... I am new to this Android developing stuff so cut me some slack...
I just took out the battery to restart quickly, but it stayed on... I made sure the battery was far enough away from the device to not be using any sort of black magic. I left it for a while and eventually I just put it back in and rebooted through the menu. What was happening? Draining from the RAM to keep the display on? Some sort of solar panel? I am confused!
Remember to unplug the phone from charger cable...
I would vote for black magic but it's probably just a anomaly . My 910F as soon as i unplug the battery will go bye bye in 0.5 sec ! )

After you remove the battery, there is a little sticker on the phone where the battery slot is (it has the phone model number on it, as well as other information). Sometimes you need to flick the sticker with your finger a few times. This tells the Pikachus in the phone that the battery is out and they'll soon stop using Thunder Bolt.

Yes it's draws current from any power source connected to the phone. Some phones will shut off when battery is disconnected even tho a power cable is connected to protect hardware from shorting out and other phones won't.
