I dont know where to look either but it means your battery is overheating or dead.
I bet it was just timing because upgrading your Radio wouldnt cause that.
I think the red light is just an error light, normally it's seen when the battery is to hot, but I've heard of it showing up when the phone is screwed up software wise too.
Since you mentioned you took it somewhere to get the Cricket software originally put on the phone, why not take it back to them and see if they can at least get Cricket working on it again. Once they get the phone back to a stable software build, you should be able to reflash it to any carrier you want.
It's at least worth a shot.

I have flashed the latest HTC update with Windows mobile 6.1 onto my T-mobile MDA touch plus. But I have a problem and I don't know if this is about the firmware, the phone or the battery.
I bought this phone recently (secondhand) and actually flashed this update directly, so I don't have experience with the phone how it came.
Right now, the battery doesn't last for a day without actually using it (even without a simcard inserted). It is clean of software, only flashed the firmware and that's all.
After a day, when battery is empty, the device won't turn on with the charger connected. Even when I keep the charger connected for a whole day. Then I try some things like unplugging the charger, remove/insert the battery, press reset button, connect/disconnect usb and it eventually turns on (I don't know what the real trick is). Battery is empty then, so it didn't charge at all...
Current firmware is Nike_HTC_NLD_2.09.404.1 with its default radio (1.65.28.25). Camera works.
Does this have to do with the software, hardware or do I have a 'almost-dead' battery?
I also like to try to flash the stock firmware, but it won't flash when I have run the sspl 1.16.jump executable on my mda. Or can I just flash the phone with the new stock 1.22 spl ?(fixed)
you need hardspl first ... try again!
I did try that preciously, but the problem was that the 1.16.jump executable booted up the bootflash menu without showing usb. But I did a second try now, and it worked
I am now running the default t-mobile firmware (but I don't get a t-mobile bootscreen.. so it's not a real shipped rom I think).
Battery is 95% now, let's see how long it takes to get empty again...
Battery is empty now, so this had nothing to do with the firmware.
I try to charge the mda with a different charger, because the one that I had was an aftermarket type.
I have another question. When I charge the phone, should the orange light in the speaker turn on? It stays off here...
When in charging mode, via charger or USB cable, the light will be orange, turning yellow once fully charged.

That doesn't happen.. It charges, but it doesn't show any light
Is there a way to check the battery instead of buying a new one ?
I have bought a new battery, but the problem persists
The last thing I want to try is flashing another or original radio. I have read that battery drain can be the result of having the wrong radio version. I hope this is the case.
My device is a niki200 and it is currently running Nike_HTC_NLD_2.09.404.1 with its default radio (1.65.28.25).
I'm unsure if a niki200 device needs a different radio than niki100's. Therefore I like to get a original T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus rom (Dutch/NLD) or a radio that is 100% compatible with the phone. Which radio do I need? And where can I get an original T-Mobile rom, or do I have to request it?
I hope the problem is in the radio, otherwise the hardware itself is faulty
Problem is fixed. It was a hardware issue. The keyboard lights and gsm/charge status leds didn't work at all. Only when I moved the display housing a little bit, I sometimes got these lights working. I have disassembled the phone, reconnected everything.. and it all works fine again . Battery is 95% after 16 hours standby! I'm happy again!
all nike can use the same radios ... only japan nikes use different radios!
I want to say thanks to tuti fruiti, I had the same problem with my touch dual, followed instructions as give, and everything is fine now.
Cheers

I was flashing a new rom. And after it said 100% on the phone it turned black and never lit up again. I waited i didnt pull out the usb. 15 min later i checked it again still black. i pulled the usb out. hit the power button and nothing happend. i did a hard reset and still the phone wount power on. The phone's charging led light wount even come on when i plug it up. So i assume i have bricked me phone ?
I have HSPL3
miri19v
froyostone 3.1v
is there any way to bring it back to life or do i toss it in the trash?
thanks for the help
i have also tried to go into boot loader and NIL!
from your use of the word 'trash' can i assume you have a tmous hd2? if so, what did you flash? was it a non tmous stock rom (meaning a bad radio)?
(oh, first job tho, check for bent battery pins)
the pins are fine. yeah i was actually flashing a stock tmou rom.
got the full filename for the rom you downloaded please? (just checking you havent downloaded a t mobile rom that isnt tmous)
the reason im pushing that line of enquiry is that the symptoms you describe are consistent with either
wrong radio (from the wrong stock rom)
bent battery pin
over discharged battery
to test the over discharged battery you can take it out, plug usb in with wall charger, then put battery in. this lets it charge without trying to turn on the phone. the light may not come one for some time, so leave it a good hour or two.
Hey Sam,
I'm having this issue too. I am relatively positive it's from an over-discharged battery. The phone conked out a few nights ago, and later when trying to charge it I got nothing - until yanking the battery for a bit, plugging in the charger, then popping in the battery. Now, every time the battery drains I have to do this.
Is the battery "damaged" now, or do you have any suggestions to fix the prob? I see this posted a bit but no one has any solutions that I've found.
Thanks!
Ryan
well i know the principals of these batteries, but not really the mechanics, so yes id guess the battery is defective, (but it could be the phones internal battery control circuits too, again just guessing) but no i dont know if there is a cure, other than try another battery, and if it cures it, ok, but if not then it would be a warranty issue.
are you using android? cos from what ive read it discharges quickly under android or something? (never used it so cant tell)
Okay, so yesterday I charged my phone overnight, it was obviously charging, the red light was on. I woke up this morning, and BAM. No signs of life. at all. No "dim red light" or anything, i can't turn it on. I've tried everything, I tested the battery and realized that the battery does, in fact, have charge (~3.4-3.5v). I've looked at many many other threads, most of which are similar, very similar, except they have the red light blinking or dimly lit. My light won't even turn on when I charge it.
I tried that trick with command prompt where you type adb reboot-bootloader and everything, and it said "no device found". Does this mean that my phone is completely useless? Did it magically become bricked? (I have in fact rooted my phone, which is why I'm in concern, however I have s-on, which is supposed to protect from bricks right?) I haven't flashed anything in maybe 2 months. Can that even happen though, it works, but then suddenly it doesn't, because of a root problem? The only other thing I think i can say is that my phone drains battery like CRAZY. I was thinking about getting a new battery beforehand, and now im definetly considering it, but it shouldn't be the batterie's fault should it? it has a charge after all. Maybe the circuit is fried. Considering i bought it new from bestbuy about 5 months ago and was using the stock adapter and usb cord to charge it, do you think I'll get a replacement if there's no way to fix it?
Thanks for reading this, i know this must be such a nuisance with all my questions and everything, but my phone is really important to me and I don't want to make a mistake or anything with a phone I paid $300 for.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll do the best I can. Many people have had this problem and sometime using an external charger and or using a different battery has fixed the problem. If you can get a hold of an external battery charger and put the battery on it all night it should work. Post back with results.
My battery started to drain fast few days ago, i thought it was a software issue(some apps). Yesterday i put it on the charger, as i didnt put it, nothing happend, i thought my charger broke, i put it on PC, same, wont charge, now im thinking the connector broke, u put USB OTG memory stick and it reads it normally, so the port is working, tryed factory reset and reflashing offical stock rom, problem isnt solved, also when the phone is in download mode on charger or pc, and i take out the battery the phone stays on, it takes power directly from the charger(this is normal), witch i think confirms its a battery problem, not a phone. Now, anyone faced this problem also? Have expirience whit this, any advice what should i do (im gona try with new battery but its a weekend, no stores working). Any help, any chance its really a battery problem, not a phone?
EDIT: Also when the battery is in, phone off, put it on charger, the empty battery shows, the grey curcle arrow rolls (battery stats are read), then it shows the battery level for a second, and the circles bellow it instead of zooming in and out in movement, it stays at the first for a seccond and then the display turns off, nothing, no red light also.

Many Galaxy S3 have problems with the charging port and need repair maybe for 20 to 30 bucks.

I hope you are right, i had that problem before, and replaced it, after then im extremely careful and gentle, so i think there are very low chances that thats the problem, i will take it to service later today, its still under warranty
Its probably a faulty battery
I had a faulty cable and man it was horrible
I was on vacations so no shops around, the phone would constantly show charger connected/disconnected and would take ages to charge
Hi guys,
:crying: My device is not powering on, not charging, no led glowing when connecting to charger, and not connecting to PC also...it was working completely fine, but all of a sudden became kind of dead... please suggest something on how to get it back to life..

Too bad. What was the last thing you did with the phone when it was working?
Were you already running a custom ROM, s-off, unlocked? Any details, for example, did it die right in the middle of updating it perhaps?
First, see if anything happens with a different battery and charger--try to borrow, rather than spend the money, because it might have nothing to do with them. Make sure the charger is plugged in the right way.
Then report back here.
