I have a Herald I have been using for about a year and a half now. I been having troubles with the phone charging the battery the last week or so. That problem seems to have fixed itself but yesterday the phone turned off for some unknown reason and now it will not turn back on. I have tried just about anything I can think of. It is like it is dead. No keys respond, the battery has good connection and is in good shape, and plugging in the power cord does nothing.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so any fixes? I am guessing the phone is dead, never to come back again. If so that just gives me an excuse to buy a new phone so it wouldn't be all bad.
Have you tried putting the phone into bootloader. Hold the camera button while pressing the reset button. I bricked my phone once and it appeared to be off and it wouldn't turn on or display anything. It worked when I put it into bootloader. But unless this happened while trying to flash, I don't think that's the problem.
my wing has the same prob...when that happens to me, i plug it to power till i see the orange or green light(no difference)then hit soft reset.....works usually but if not, hit up the bootloader
Hello, a while back I posted a charging problem, which turned out to be the Mini-USB and Wall Charger was bent, and before that, the Mini USB outlet in the phone broke entirely. Well, another problem has arisen, as finally got a new charger yesterday, and worked perfectly. So, I shut it off, and left it to charge overnight. Now, the problem? All of a sudden, it refuses to boot. Held down the power button for 5 seconds, 20 seconds, and a full minute. Nothing. Any suggestions?

nothing AT ALL? or the screen turns on and gets stuck?
if nothing at all happens, try the battery jump start method
Well, after constant trying at starting the phone, I managed to have it boot after hours. What happened? During the boot,where it displays Windows Mobile 6, a line appeared, and the phone darkened, and then crashed.
What the hell.
I suggest a hard reset......

....................And how can I hard reset when it doesn't boot, and whenever it does, crashes during it?
Anyone that's here help?
I'm currently having the same problem with mine. Hard resetting didn't work for me but you may as well try it.
If you can get it to start booting for just a few seconds you can hard reset it without loading the operating system. As soon as you get it to turn on, hold down the Wifi and Voice command buttons (one's on the left, one on the right). After holding those down, press the soft reset button (the little button on the right that you can press with your stylus) very quickly and release it. If you hold the soft reset button too long, it will perform a regular soft reset and you'll have to start over, so do that quickly.
A black screen should come up and tell you to press your send button to hard reset your phone.
I have similar problem,It's turn on to the logo that's always shown when boot and then it show the logo till it discharged.I tried hard reset,but it's still the same,i post 2 topic's in this website and no one help me
i too am facing the same problem, i was able to start it a few times but it crashed after a few seconds each time. i m gonna charge it all night and see if it starts. right now all i m getting is the red led. i really hope someone finds a solution soon.
With me it was my battery that caused the problem. Try it with the battery of another wizard. Succes, Rietje
ok so i charged it for more than 12 hours and my wizadr still didnt start.
I then got a NEW BATTERY and my wizard turned on within the very moment i pressed the power button.
So any one who is facing a similar problem should try a new battery.
Yea,this is a second time when i have this problem.I both A new battery,BUT IT STILL THE SAME!!!
First time when i both a new battery it was working fine,but now the battery won't help

try a battery frm a friends phone. u ll be sure that the battery u r using works fine. if ur phone still doesnt work then u need to have it checked.
i have same problem,,and i use T-Mobile MDA Vario
is it just battery problem or not?and if the PDA inactive it can still charge or not?
and i usually use blackberry charger to charge my PDA,is it ok?and is there any possibility my PDA can't work again?i hope not
pls help me..
Well for starters, charging your phone overnight will probably damage the battery over time. It's only the newer phones and batteries that are able to withstand extended overcharging times without serious damage to the battery. With older phones including the K-JAM/MDA Vario, the battery is meant to be charged till its full, and no more. If you overcharge it, you run the risk of damaging your battery and possibly the phone too.
If a new battery hasn't fixed your problem, the problem lies in your phone's mainboard.
Try charging your phone from a USB port on a computer to see if anything happens.

did you try another battery in your uni? also did you try tapeing the pin on the battery that reads the voltage level?
according to the universal service manaul flowchart, a redlight indicated bad battery>bad battery pins>shot motherboard.
so i don't think this is good. anyone got any..thoughts on figuring out WHAT exactly happened?
Hi
thanks for the input
will you please guide how I can tape the pin on the battery that reads the voltage level
many thanks

...almost the same.
my problem occurred after I did a soft reset. It took it a while to boot and every other time I used soft reset the boot took longer and longer until it did not want to turn on again.
Soft reset doesn't work but when it's left on the charger and pressed, the battery light blinks once. It won't charge and my PC registers a device malfunction when connected through USB.
The only sign of life pops up when I press hard reset but after I press 0 or X nothing happens.
Please help!
I have same problem as well, I even bought spare battery but uni remains dead and silent.
Beside the fact that when it's connected to PC, windows show unrecognized usb device.
what happened before it died? did you ... do anything to it? mines still dead as a doornail.
I am not alone :'(
It means many other fellows are suffering from same.
strange , total silence from experienced guys... atleast they can say it is useless for you to try.. and now dig a grave for it.
Experienced guys have their own lives too
Wait with patience till someone replies you and do not double post on same topic please
Hello, new user here, I have a technical problem and I could use some advice. If I posted on the wrong thread or if this is already solved, please forgive me.
Anyways, It was like 02:00, my phone was at around 38% battery at the time, I figured this would be enhough for me to make a backup of my CM9 ROM and then restore CM7. I set Clockworkmod to backup CM9, and that was successful. Then I restored CM7 from a backup of it I made earlier. I think it was successful but I fell asleep before I could notice. (Staring at clockworkmod restoring data puts you to sleep) It most likely ran out of batteries after completing the restore in Clockworkmod.
When I woke up today, I found my phone shut down and with no battery. I proceeded to plug it in to my PC. No charging... I saw that was wierd, and then when I tried again I figured out my phone was essentially dead.
Here's the problem, when I press the power button, it vibrates successively, and shows no signs of booting. I began reading forums, including Modaco (I had to use google cache because it just happened to be offline at the worst possible time), and they say that it's because the battery is dead. So I put it in my wall charger. After an hour or so, same problem. No boot, always vibrating in succession, and also even though I press volume up and down I get no signs of clockworkmod.
When I plug it into my USB, strangely my mouse disconnects from my PC. I use a laptop, and this never happened before today, and it is possibly related to my problem. In short, Blade plugs into USB, Mouse dead.
I don't know if my phone is refusing to charge or if it's bricked, I can't tell, and I really fear it may be bricked, because I can't afford a replacement. (No job, still living with my mom, I'm 19) I also have no clue if my computer can even recognize it, nothing shows up except for this wierd mouse problem.
So, can anyone help me?
Connect charger with blade,then boot into recovery....
Is it booting into recovery?
Nope
Nope, I wish. : ( When I connect it to the charger and try to turn it on, it only vibrates, nothing else, no recovery, no Android logo.

Do a tpt or use the adb method.. I experienced this issue before.. after tpt,it worked fine..
Sent from my ZTE Blade using XDA app
Okay
Very well, I'll go look it up. If I have any doubts I'll post here again.
Uhhh
Well I tried the TPT method, I did the manual steps as described in a website I can't link to because I have too few posts ( : ( ), and the phone does nothing, it just keeps vibrating in succession as I hold the power, volume buttons and other buttons, even with the TPT in my SDCard, is there anything I'm doing wrong, and how do I do the ADB method, is there a basic tutorial on that that's easily explained? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I've got dim signs of life from my phone as the red led light appeared for a brief moment. I'll see what happens next.
FINAL EDIT: After a while of waiting, the red light greeted me again. And I pressed the power on button and my phone turned on like normal! : O I didn't even need to TPT! 1% Battery... My phone scared the heck out of me by being half-dead... Note to self: Never let your phone discharge too much.
Somebody close this thread ; D
my mobile having same problem
Hello guys, first than nothing, sorry for my bad english, isnt my native languaje. I got this problem yesterday in the night of the new year!!!!!!!:crying: I was rooted, using Xylon and Faux Kernel, but the problem appears from nothing!!
The first thing that I detected was, the phone take a WHILE!!! for charge.... then, out of the power, the phone get overheating and discharging so fast, never in life that happends, when N4 got discharged i try to turn on again but download mode appers in the screen, finally I get in the recovery, then I did a wipe cache/system and factory reset. Install again the Xylon... but when phone finally turns off, when I plugged in to AC absolutelly nothing happends, the led just turn in red, and the N4 dont start in FB, dont get charge, dont do a sh*t !!!! I conect it to the PC but also nothing appends, the N4 doesnt appear in my device list.
So... my N4 its broken?
There was possibly something wrong with the kernel and rom combination that caused your phone to overheat. I think eventually the heat may have damaged your hardware. Sorry but, if something was wrong in the first place it was not a good idea to reinstall the same thing that was causing the problem, if I were you I would have flashed a stock ROM. My only advice now would be to RMA it and pray
EDIT: I found this if it helps at all:
If you are unable to access the settings menu of your device, you can still reset your phone by performing a Hard Reset. Here are the instructions:
If your phone is on, power it off.
Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.
Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it.
Note: If at any point during the above steps your phone becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the power button for several seconds.
Before you try anything else, try and leaving it plugged in for a while and then try turning it on. Or leave it plugged in to a computer then try turning it on.

Try this. I haven't had it happen to me, but I do have a friend who this exact same thing happened and he thought it was bricked. He left it plugged into AC over night, and in the morning it would turn back on.
First than nothing, thanks for reply, I appreciate your intentions to help me.
I will leave it charging all the night and while Im working too... I hope after that, the phone at least turn on.
I dont install the STOCK ROM because I dont have it in my internal memory and I was in my girlfriend house, the night of the 12/31/12, there is not much to do...
I did the same post, but a little bit more explained

It could be bad battery, how long did bought of you had working phone, how many times did you charge?
Did you use out of the box charger?
Did you have problems with usb jack?

I bought it the 13/nov..
I received it 29/nov.
I ALWAYS use stock charger, only 1 time i try to charge it in my car, but it was less thant 5 minutes, I decided dont charge with the car because the energy variates when I accelerate...
After that, I use my phone quiet normal.
I had this problem with my nexus 7. I think my battery died all the way and it couldn't charge. The stick charger wasn't doing anything. But I plugged it into my computer for a few minutes and tried turning it on. Then when the loading screen appeared I ran it to it's stock charger and charged it to full. Your battery probably died. Try different combinations of ways to get it to take a charge. Just long enough to turn on then plug it into its charger. Though the overheating could have fried it
