Yesterday something strange happenend to my HD2. (Artemis V24)
I forgotten to charge the battery and the battery was toltal empty.
After charging the phone the phone started like a start for the first time.
I had to make all settings again.
During the day I had to reset my phone serveral times, because the phone freezed.
Later that day i flashed the ROM to Artemis V26.1 but the phone kept freezing.
I did a hard reset and now the phon doesn't start any more.
The white screen with HTC with the red numbers are shown and after that my screen becomes black/gray striped.
What is wrong with my phone ? How can i solve this problem.
Hopefully someone can help me !
Thanks in advance !
black/grey stripped?
could you share a picture with us pls?
maybe your hw is damaged...
if so, revert you spl to you stockspl (normally 1.42.00000) and your stock rom..then you can send it to htc or bring it to your shop.

I have two batteries fror my HD2 and have discovered that batteries can do strange things. For example, one of my two batteries WILL NOT charge from a car charger (the charge light goes off, red, green in a continuous cycle and the battery continues to drain). I've tried several different car chargers, same problem. The other battery charges fine from a car charger. Both batteries charge fine from AC and USB.
My point is, maybe it is worth trying another battery before sending for repair. Perhaps the battery has not been able to properly regain charge after going flat. Replacements can be bought cheap on ebay.
Another possibility is to charge via a different method. I had an Asus PDA that wouldn't restart after going flat (just endlessly reset itself). Charging it from a USB cable connected to a computer instead of from the AC charger fixed the problem (must have been slightly different output voltages).
My Aria, so faithful, has recently died.
It happened before my eyes while playing Words With Friends, the phone just simply went black.
The Aria was plugged in and fully charged, perhaps it was feeling a little warm, but it's hard to to remember correctly. Two weeks prior I had successfully replaced the digitizer.
I have tried many chargers, walls and reboots. The phone is completely lifeless. I have also retaken apart the phone like I did for replacing the digitizer and put it back together pressing all the parts very firmly. Unfortunately nothing has worked.
Does this sound like a battery problem? Or is the phone dead beyond repair?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
It could be a battery issue, but there's no real way to be sure unless you have a spare battery sitting around to try. If you have a multimeter, you can check to see if the battery is producing the proper voltage, but even if it does, the battery could still fail when under load.
Hey guys! I'm needing some advice/tips.
I've had my g tablet for about a year and lately it really has started acting up. The power reading on the tablet was either like 100% or dying. Last week it just crashed when loading even though I had charged it. I figured the battery was bad and bought a replacement on Ebay, The power socket had been loose for awhile and the whole thing actually fell out of the tablet when I took it apart. I had the socket soldered by a local guy at radio shack since I have no experience soldering. I replaced the battery with no problem and now the tablet will not charge. I can not tell if the new battery I bought is defective or just need a full charge since it seems my tablet won't charge with either battery installed. The connections from the power socket to the motherboard look good, but I'm wondering if the repair man could have messed up the soldering. When I put the original battery in, the tablet will boot up for a bit and then die, but I get nothing from the new battery. I left the new battery in and plugged in the charger thinking maybe the indicator light had gone bad, but that didn't make a difference. I just wondered if anyone had some suggestions for me. (I've been taking apart and repairing my own electronics for years now, so I am confident no damage occurred while I have been tinkering). Any ideas are much appreciated! Thanks!
See this thread. If you can boot into the ROM or ClockworkMod, then you can use the awk script I've written to find out what your battery is doing--charging, discharging, full, RSOC, etc.
Hello all!
I recently purchased a used Droid Razr Maxx from a co-worker. The lcd screen was cracked so I replaced it. I took apart the phone completely and reassembled it with the new screen in place. The phone turns on just fine, the Motorola icon shows up and it gets to the charging battery icon with 5%, but after a few hours of letting it charge, it stays at 5% and wont turn on. Keep in mind, the phone has been charging for two hours from the time this post was made.
My question is, did I somehow damage the battery when operating internally? I can replace the battery if needed.
Another question. If I damaged the motherboard, would the phone turn on at all?
I am kind of wondering if there is a certain thing I needed to do before plugging it in.
To answer any questions that might be asked: The battery was completely dead when I did repair the screen. The charger is a wall usb charger, not plugged into my computer. I did place all the components inside the phone, to the best of my knowledge. I have had experiences when it comes to internal repair.
check for how long this 5% charge remain. it usually happen due to problematic battery guage

Morning now. The battery is still at 5%. The phone shuts off soon as the charger is not connected. Does not seem to hold a charge. Think I should buy a new one?

It could be a faulty charger.
Normally, If the battery is poor, it won't hold charge but it won't stick to a particular percentage. It will only discharge sooner. But given the fact you got the phone dead, it might as well be the battery.
Worst scenario, you damaged the charging port.
I'd begin with using a different charger, if that doesn't work, try another battery.

I have used other chargers and they all work for my other phones, just not this one. I am hoping it's a dead battery and not something to do with the motherboard. My friend wont let me dismantle his phone to see if it's the batter, lol.
Just the clarify, the phone doesn't boot up completely, only to the charging screen. The battery icon with 5% shown. When I unplug the phone from the charging screen, it just dies. Will not even boot up to the phone animation.
I purchased a battery replacement off of Ebay. It'll arrive in a few days. Let's hope this works!
Still could be the charger. Did you check voltage and amp specs? 850amps 5.1v
This phone can be picky. First razr I got had broken screen, repaired it and found myself in the same situation.
Connecting to a laptop would not charge it. Only stock charger. IPhone charger or chargers designed for iphones will not work.
Edit: When replacing battery, position is critical. If battery terminals are a little bit displaced it will not turn on.
Displacement can be minimal or imperceptible but will cause troubles. If possible don't place cover before checking that it turns on. (please avoid touching circuits or battery terminals or will get worse).

That was exactly the problem....
I got the new battery, but not 24 hours later, I was realigning the cables inside it (like the front facing and rear cameras, along with the WiFi antenna) I slightly moved the replaced battery and the cable to the battery to the motherboard tore itself. After a long face-palm moment, I got the old battery back in place and realigned it very carefully. It turns out it still works, but I am out a new battery.
Apart from the battery, I need to find out why the front speaker won't work. Either the speaker is damaged or something needs to be in place correctly, besides the cable. Also need to get some adhesive gel to bond the screen and case together.
Damn I really had forgotten about that speaker. The fact is it tends to break. It has very fine copper wire winding that can break when you remove it the wrong way.
Having no experience I pulled not knowing that speaker is glued to motherboard. At that time I didn't knew it and thought that little bar left was part of the motherboard.
Since you disassembled almost everything, that must be the reason it is failing. If it is not that, it is badly plugged but I really doubt it.
Alas Never fixed it, so i can't tell correct process to reassemble or disassemble that speaker. Instead I searched for apps that would activate loud speaker automatically during calls.
Would have been nice to fix it but I got the opportunity to acquire a RAZR maxx so never touched and sold instead.
Removing that glue might involve using a hot air gun. So that you don't damage motherboard removing by force. (But again too much heat could Fry motherboard)
Maybe someone could share it's experience?
About that screen, Remember to have read about a 3m adhesive spray in some thread.
Also some one just passed hot air that melted original glue but it would be better not to play with heat over a battery.

So the original battery went bad and the phone did not charge at all. It just shut off as soon as I disconnected the charger.
I ordered two batteries from two different merchants on Amazon, but these replacement batteries are behaving just the same.
I assume due to the age of this device, the batteries they have in stock are also stale.
Is there a way to implant a newer battery, perhaps, for a different device, inside of this?
Thank you.
