so a while ago I got the message saying that my phone was connected to a charger that was not going to charge my phone quick. I think I told it to not warn me again. I want the warning back. anyone have any idea where I can find the setting?
thank you

i'm having a problem that i can't find much information on.
i have a verizon audiovox utstarcom xv6700 (htc apache)
i drained the battery one night, to the point of what seems no return.
whenever i plug in the phone, a solid red light comes on.
whenever i plug in the phone without the battery inserted, a flashing red light comes on.
whenever i instert the battery in the base that came with the phone,
the charging light flashes yellow and then turns green.
i haven't installed anything more than software trials seeing as i just bought this phone.
if i can find a fix for this, without having to go through waranty issues, it'd be much appreciated.
any help?
thank you everybody!
When the battery is completely drained, the charging light should turn on and be red. How long did you try to charge it? You have to leave it plugged in for a bit to get enough charge to get past the red light.
retry
unfortunately,
i have already tried this.
i leave it plugged in for aprox. an hour,
and the red light dissapears.
however nothing happens after that either.
i unplug it, and plug it back in,
and the red light reappears.
any other suggestions?
I have one, bring it back and get a new one. did u buy it from a official dealer?
no,
i bought it off of a guy who had it for two weeks and didn't think it was worth the money.
he did buy it from a verizon store brand new,
and like i said i've only had it for a short period of time.
i was waiting to see if i could find a fix without sending it back,
to do without getting the reciept information required for the warranty.
i've read about other htc products having problems with this,
and everyone says that there is a problem,
like mentioned before, that once the battery is drained,
it doesn't have the "juice" to start charging again.
alot of people have recharged it with batteries.
i'm planning on finding my voltage reader (whatever it's called)
and seeing if it's the batteries dead.
other people have said that there is a problem with bad data ports.
which could have been from the previous owner,
they say that after drops that a few weeks after the drop it goes out.
any other suggestions?
thanks guys!
The red light can indicate battery fault. Remove the battery and clean the contacts, then try charging in the back of the cradle rather than using the USB connector. It might come back. Fully discharging is not good for the battery, so if it comes back, listen to the phone and charge it went is says the battery is low (20%???). Other than that, batteries are cheap, try a new one.
hey all, like most people here, i've been flashing my phones like crazy for the past couple days to trying out all the new roms it's been fine for the last couple days and sundenlly it just stop working this morning. It wouldn't turn on or anything, when i plug the usb in, window gives me an error as it cannot connect to the phone. I try the charger and it wouldn't charge(the charging light on the phone wouldn't turn on). I just got my phone replace last week due to theft. So is my phone bricked? I've flashed my phone alot and each time i wipe everything, could that be the problem? if i take it back to sprint store you think they would send me a new one? thanks.
Take it in and find out...
Just curious... what rom were you running when that happened?

Pull out the battery, remove charger.
Put the battery back in and dont press anything. Plug it into the wall and see after ~60 seconds you get a charge light.
I just got my phone replaced with the exact problem. Took it to sprint and they ordered me a new one under the HTC warranty, no problem. I didnt say anything about flashing just that it stopped charging and would not turn on anymore.

Just remember that if they get the phone to boot after you turn it in and they find out its rooted/ROM'd that they can fine you the entire price of the phone. Not trying to scare you but it has happened to people. However, it does seem there have been quite a few complaints about USB "issues".

I too have had the usb charging issue. Try moving the usb cable around in the phone and see if it contacts. Mine does by lifting up on it. I called Sprint to see what they can do and they said that it is caused by the user. I laughed at them and said some not so nice words then hung up on them. Then took it to a Sprint store and they ordered a new one for me without any questions.
as a side note I am glad they are replaceing it cause now the speaker is blown and the paint is peeling from the power button.
Also, FYI, my kid's hero's charger died on him (the one out of the box). We thought his phone was broken because it would not charge or be recognized by the USB. Then we tried out my charger and, boom, all good.
Worth a shot....
alright guys, thx everyone for the reply, status update: I try everything that was mention here, pull bat and putting it back(several times), moving charging cables, letting the charger sit 60sec, none of it work. I know my phone wasn't out of batteries cuz when i went to sleep it was about 86% left, so i thought my bat blew out on me after a week of usage. so i just left my phone in my pocket and after a while it started getting hot, i was like wtf, and took out the bat immediately. i leave the bat out for about 30min, put that sucker in again, and voila, it power up, everything was back to normal...anyone know wth's going on? of course i'm very happy my phone is working again
So i've been making multiple posts on here regarding the fact that i have been unable to receive text messages for the past week on my native messaging app and the only way i can get them is thru google voice. Well i was never able to fix that and last night i plugged my phone into the charger and went to sleep, everything working fine.. I guess at 7am my girlfriend turned my alarm off on my phone and it was working fine, then around 8:15am i woke up to find my EVO off.. So at first i figured well i must not have put the charger all the way in and it died, so i put it back onto the charger and realized the light was not coming on at all and the EVO wasn't turning on, I tried another charger and my car charger and none of them get the LED light on the front to turn on like it normally does when charging, and i cannot get my EVO to turn on at all now, i get nothing. What do you guys think could have happened? It's just dead, the charger doesn't work or even turn the LED light orange, and i can't get it to turn on at all, just nothing. Any Ideas? I've been dreading having to get an insurance phone because of the fact it cannot be rooted and i run MIUI on my phone, so i was just living with the google voice text issue, but i had to go ahead and file my claim this morning because my phone wont even come on now.. The thing that scares me is that if HTC is able to get my phone to turn on, they're going to find out that i rooted it and it's running MIUI? Once they ship my insurance phone and i send my rooted phone back in, is there anything they can do?
Probably a dead battery
Edit: As in, will no longer work, not just depleted of charge. When you get the replacement switch out batteries, and see if it works.
They will not do anything to your account. Sprint now works on rooted phones, as long as it's not a software issue. Besides it's not like you are going to be able to root the replacement anyway.
What would cause the battery to just die and not charge ? and wouldn't the charger still get the orange LED light to come on ?

Looking at this thing running the stock OS makes me sad. Still such a nice phone, though.
When you made your insurance claim you should have said it was lost. $100 for a new phone and they won't see your rooted one.

They really don't care if it's rooted; the only reason they want the phones back is so that they can try and refurb them.
Hello
I have bought s5 1 month ago and all was fine untill last week. I started to notice that battery started to charge very fast and didnt hold this "juice" for long (max 40 min from 90% to 15% lol). But thats not the worst thing that happened. Yesterady it simply started to reboot randomly!!! One time it says that battery lvl is at 60% and after reebot it wont turn on. When i plug in charger it says 0%!!! When i want to turn in the device is catches some kind of boot loop. Rarely it will turn on properly. When i finally can turn it on it must be pluged in to charging. Charger plug out = reebot. Most of times now it reboots when the battery picture pops up when turned off!!!! It wont turn on even if i manage to charge it to 100% when turned off. Its a new phone and im starting to think that i have made a mistake buying it. I didnt do any software modifications and android was updated before all this has happened. I hope u guys will have any ideas whats going on. Im going to give it on warranty and im curious what they say and hope they wont tell its my fault lol

Probably a defective battery i guess or some other power related component. Best is to have it repaired as it seems to be hardware problem.
Hi! I went to the neighbour country and after 6 days back. I didn't use my phone. I switched it off and that's all. Sometimes turned on for the dictionary then switched it off again. When I arrived home yesterday and turned on i didn't hear anything. It was strange that it didn't has service. I plug on the charge and got an error message: Can't charge cuz the battery temperature is too low.
Has somebody an idea, or my phone is done?
