My friend's xda2 is currently dead, won't power, red light when charging. He said all he did was take his sim card out and put in a sim card of his friend when he was in Prague and the unit just died.
I have been playing with it, changed batteries, etc, and nothing.. anyone else have this happen, any ideas or is it going back to the factory for him?
Thanks!

Have you tried doing a Hard Reset? By holding POWER+SOFTRESET.... One day I thought my MDA 2 is dead also playing PocketMVP then suddenly just go blank, no lights, reset doesn't work, try to put on a cradle but no lights that saying its charging so I did a HARD RESET and it came back to life... Wheeew! that scared me..
Guys does anyoneknows if doing a SOFT RESET bad for the device?
How about HARD RESET is it good or bad if you always have to do it?
I hope this revive you device.
Well like I said its for a friend, so I'm not going to kill myself over this, but if I can fix it for him, great! I tried the hard reset, tried taking the battery out, nothing, I guess I can try and run down the reserve on it and maybe after like 30 mins the thing will come to life?...
fingers crossed
Have you tried fiddling with the little red sliding switch inside the battery compartment? I have seen some posts that indicate some of these switches are a bit flakey. If the switch was not actually switching from backup to main battery, I can see how this behavior could be manifested.
Give it a try . . . what can it hurt?
ok, i got my optimus t back from lg a couple days ago after i bricked it and right when i turned it on it was having problems. it turns on, loads and all that good stuff but once the screen goes to sleep i try to awake it and only the buttons light up and the lcd stays off until i do a battery pull. plugging the phone into my charger, putting the battery back inside and turning it on lets the phone start as usual but once the lcd goes to sleep it never comes back on again.
what should i do? i think i only did one factory reset so far and i have reflashed it to the stock firmware to see what that would do but it hasn't fixed anything. should i do another factory reset AND reformat the sd card since i only did a factory reset the first time? i'm hoping someone has seen this before and can help me with fixing the problem.
this happens to the phone regardless of whether the phone is rooted or unrooted.

i had the phone a couple weeks before i bricked it and i never had these problems with the hardware. after i posted the original post i was able to somehow get my phone in emergency mode. actually, the first thing i did was remove my sd card and reformat it on my computer (backed up everything on dropbox and my computer). i tried to flash my phone and the problem showed up when the screen turned off during the flash. i spent a couple minutes getting it back into emergency mode and was able to get it flashed to the stock ROM without it getting stuck. then i did a factory reset and the problem is still occurring. i'm thinking about updating to 2.2.2 if i can actually get back into the OS one more time and then see what happens. if i can't do either then i'm going to have to call LG again and hopefully they will hook me up with a replacement or repair it somehow.
thank god i bought a new nexus one yesterday ($260) so that should be here monday or tuesday to hopefully tide me over until the nexus 3 so the optimus will become my backup.
Phone is randomly freezing, screen goes off and panel stays lit.
Pulling battery is only way to reset, wasn't doing anything special to cause a freeze.
It's almost like it falls asleep, but can't wake it up without pulling battery.
Few times I went to turn of screen, froze on me before I touched the power button. Other times were random, switching screens, backing out of an app.
Since there is no full root, I only have stock apps. It doesn't reboot, just goes dark and panel stays lit.
Is a reset needed ?
I read the other threads, but phone doesn't reboot. Phone is not on a specific app when freezing, and not getting error of any kind when it freezes, just dark screen and panel light on.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

I would try a factory reset and if that doesn't work then I would take it to sprint and swap it out.

This ^ had a similar problem with my OG only got worse
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Did a factory reset, first time through bootloader. Went through the process but didn't reboot. Had to manual boot through power button.
Started up fine, but since it didn't reboot on its own after factory reset, I chose to do it through settings. Cleared storage card also( nothing special on there) , figured it might help. Process went fine, just no reboot.
Decided to go with it, did the manual boot through power button again.
So far its not freezing, will wait anotherday or so.
Q. If phone is charging while doing a factory reset, will it prevent the reboot, even if battery has enough juice for factory reset.
Q. Will doing a factory reset wipe the cache, or does it need to be cleared in recovery before a factory reset.
Figured id ask if it happens again,
Thanks

My phone started doing this yesterday. I took it into Sprint and ask them not to pull the battery and give it straight to the tech or a manager. Of course be walks away to a sales person and he pulls the battery out then calls me over and asks if i want a tech to look at it. I said no cause the phone obviously worked now. About an hour later my screen became unresponsive. I took it back and told them not to **** with it just give it to the tech. The salesman verified that the screen was dead and told me to come back in 2 hours.
When i came back they told me that they couldn't find anything wrong with my phone. I'm on my 3rd phone now and they said that they will give me one more phone and that's it. I'm scared to get another one cause they have all been so messed up. I've only had this one for 2 days now so I'm going to hang on to it and see if it keeps screwing up. It already looks like I'm starting to have green picture problems to though.

same here havent got an answer, not sure if its a software issue or phone hardware issue , screen goes blank with the screen keys still light up,
did a factory reset its been good for now hopefully stays that way but what does anyone recommend if it happens again, take it back and get a new one?
Same problem here i have been to Sprint 3 times for this issue and every time they just say they will look at it and then do a reset and reflash and send me on my way... Never fixes the problem and they say the wont swap my phone till they can replicate the problem them selves... Pisses me off.
I just had it do it to me twice in last hour
Going to call Sprint

Software issue, keep your panties on and wait for root or an OTA.
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
Hi.
My original would freeze and i had to take the battery out. and the resets did not work and it got bad worse i had to take the battery out 5-6 a day. the second one my gps, wifi would not work properly even after resets. my third one would not freeze but my phone display would go off then in 5 sec or so the display would be lit but it was black and my search key would be lit. I did 2 factory resets ad a hard reset and it did not fix the problem. I know the repair stores say they need to replicate the problem to exchange and will do a reset and send you on your way. What i did was that i took pics and video of the problem. and showed the rep at the store. first he had said i had to wait 2 hour for a tech to check it then i showed him the vid and he just went ahead and changed it. So maybe if you have a camera available do this at least you might have a stronger argument.
Had same problem. I my recommendation is either take a video of the problem, or what I did was as soon as this problem happens again just bring it to the store frozen, as soon as it froze I just went to the store.

i am having problems with the screen timeout setting itself to 15 and 30 seconds. also had a couple freezes where i had to do a battery pull. lets all just calm down and wait for full root and we will be able to fix all these software issues ourselves.
Just relax and wait for root. Or call a waaambulance

Today I just wanted to uninstall Temple Run from my Moto E. I followed the standard procedure and suddenly as I dropped the icon in the uninstall menu, the Motorola boot icon appeared and the phone switched off. I tried to boot it into fast bootloader but nothing happened. I dont really know what has happened with my phone since the notification LED is blinking randomly even though the screen and everything else is not working. When I tried calling my phone number it says phone switched off. What has happened with my phone? What can I do so that my can start again
Try holding Power+vol up+vol down together for 10+ seconds.
If it doesn't boot up, connect it to the charger for a few hours and try again.
That too is not working I guess it is hard bricked and I will have to take it to the service center. I failed to understand though how an unrooted phone with stock rom could possibly get so damaged just with normal usage. Although the possibility of a virus is very less could it be the reason?

Never rooted this phone before, was just trying to reset the phone. I did factory reset through recovery mode and now I get the white tmobile screen and blue led screen and it just hangs and the phone gets super hot.
Is there anyway to recover this phone to factory settings or is it dead now? I don't really get what I did wrong.
At one point i was in download mode and it said it was downloading something but my battery fell out so idk if thats what messed it up but i've tried several resets since and it keeps hanging.
