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.
is impossible to get virus on WP platform... viruses not exist...

Correct. Even if it's a virus (which it isn't), it will show signs of life. can you plug it in charger? maybe battery dead?
I will have to get some charged battery because this battery can't be charged, the phone is dead, so firstly I get new battery

** 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 (^_~)

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.

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..

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!!!....

Yo folks,
My bro's PLAY is on 2.3.3 [the latest update available here] which I had updated via SEUS. Today, after gaming a bit my bro told me that the battery dropped to 13% from well over 60-70%. Also, the phone was pretty hot...
I pulled the battery out and let it sit for over an hour. I then plugged in the battery, and now the Phone won't start - it just shows the blinking RED Led. Nothing on screen whatsoever. I don't think it's powering on at all.
Any idea what to do next, i'm pretty stumped
p.s. Phone is on stock firmware, unrooted.
well u could try another battery in there if thats possible
the xperia x10 has the same battery
so if u cant find some one with the same phone
u can use one of those

Thanks.. I actually have a X10 myself, but it's with my bro atm.. and i've come at another place earlier today for a couple of days with his PLAY.
I've plugged it in and it's still showing the blinking RED led. I'll wait and see what happens..
AFAIK the blinking red Light indicates the Battery is completley drained and does not have enought juice to turn the device on .. let it charge up a bit and see if it turns over.. then give the device a FULL charge .

Only suggestion I have left is to take it to where you bought it and get it replaced under warranty.
If it's from a carrier call them and ask for a replacement mailed to you while it's being fixed cuz you don't want to use a different phone model.

Okay guys, I came back home, and charged the PLAY's battery upto 50% in my X10. So the PLAY now boots up & I also hooked it up to my machine and did a re-install of the 2.3.3 update. Now it's back to original state, with only the market logged in and my bro's contacts restored from SDcard.
However, it still does not charge as normal. It actually is DISCHARGING, instead of charging up when connected to the wall charger. And it still gets hot
Could it be a hardware fault?
did you try the x10 battery in the Play?

I had taken it to the dealer earlier today, but unfortunately the Sony Ericsson service center we have in my city was closed today because nobody showed up there due to heavy rains.
I have to go back there tomorrow... let's see.
Wish I could not show up to work because of rain
Try a different charger.

Update : It is a hardware fault and I'm getting a replacement in 10-15 days. The service center asked me to leave the phone there and gave me a job sheet. The replacement phone will be sent to the dealer and i'll need to pick it up from him.

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, 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.

Hi !
i have a Galaxy S4 i9505, and yesterday something really strange happened. I left my phone charging overnight on my pc and in themorning it wasnt charged it had only 3% left and after the battery has drained the phone shut down, and then POOF! it won't charge and turn on no sign of life no LED no vibration, nothing. i tried a new battery nothing happened tried different charger and full battery and nothing seems to fix it. so i used a galaxy mini 2 waiting to find a fix for this and the same thing happened to the mini i left it plugged into my pc and the next day no sign of life. it's very strange. just to let ou know that i dont charge my phone on the pc this is the first time i leave it plugged in and when plugged it says that it's charging but somehow it stops and kills the phone . PLEASE help !
ROM and bootloader used?
Current from pc is very low and your mobile might have use more than it due to background process and hence your phone might have slowly discharged instead of being charged.
Try charging from a wall charger for a few minutes and then try to boot it.

But also it shouldnt be discharged by backgroung process. It is really wierd. Maybe you can see in the battery stats to find which app is using this and freeze it. Use battery doctor to kill apps when the screen is turned off.

Hi, thanks for the answers but i tried all of that and i can't get even the s4 logo to show nor the LED or any sign of life, i even tried a full battery and nothing happens it's not the power button since it don't show anything when plugged into a charger, the saaame thing happened to the other phone. the ROM is omegadroid and whats a bootloader ?? a phone repair guy told me that he can flash from a port inside the phone that needs some soldering, he told me that it's the way samsung flashes the os when the phone is empty and just got out of the factory is this true ? WTH is going on with this phone :crying: and also could it be some kind of virus that kills android phones just when booting because the phone was okay after unpluging it from the pc the problem happened when the battery drained and it shut down after that it wont turn on ! i'm sure that if i plugged the phone to a charger before the battery drained it would be still running now.
What is the warranty status of the phone?.
The guy is talking about jtag/riff box.
Also try not to use the word POOF" as it means homosexual where I live.There may be ones on the forum that could take offence.

Flashing is possible but I recommend you to go to a Samsung service center (even pay them if they figure out that u r out of warranty) as the process is tooooo risky.

I had a similar problem about six months ago.
I don't know if this will help but I found that by disconnecting the battery, leaving the phone for approx. 10 Min, reconnect the battery, then connect wall charger (but do not attempt to turn on). I found that after about 10 - 20 mins the phone started to charge (really slowly, it took about 8 hours to completely charge). Only after this did I attempt to turn it on and it seems to have been fine since.
Hope this helps.

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.
