Okay so hope this is the right spot to post this....
My phone about two hours ago was on working fine. At about 30% bat...
I took a nap and now when i plug it in to the charger it will not turn on at all.. only thing that happens is the LED blinks that orangy color over and over...
If i remove the battery and put it back in.. still nothing at all ever comes on the screen.
After removing the battery and while plugged into the charger if i hold the power button it will vibrate once and thats it...
not sure whats happening.
I was on gingeritis 1.0 and everything was great up to this point.
any ideas??
Let is attempt to charge for a while, maybe 2 hours. Then see if you can power up into the bootloader. See if that works.
I had that happen once as well. I just let it sit on the charger for about 15-20 minutes, and it booted up with no problems after that. In my case, it looked like the battery was just completely dead and needed to build up enough juice to last until after it booted up.

Wrong section brother.

Ditto, try pulling battery out for 5-10 seconds, put the charger. It will not blink, then it will flash orange blinks let it sit for some 15. Minutes. Remember that TB takes alot of juice to reboot sometimes 5%.
STAY AWAY FROM ALL GINGERBREAD ROMS
My phone got stuck on the white htc screen this morning all of a sudden without any perceivable reason at all. Luckily I was able to restore to a backup.. BUT... It wouldn't install any new roms on my phone anymore for some reason.. they all get stuck on the white htc screen.
My advice.. GB is f&&&ked somewhere deep down.. and which is probably why it isn't officially released yet. Keep off of it if you don't wanna brick your phones.

That's a sign of a hardware failure I had a bad touch screen and once it went out it wouldn't boot past the splash, I'm sure it's similar with other hardware failures so it's a bad device not the gingerbread roms
Atleast that's my opinion

I had this happen to just a few ago.
Picked up the phone and screen was off,Normal, I hit power and nothing.
Pulled battery, went bootloaded mode recovery and wiped and loaded bamf.
I have all the roms on my SD now.
Serious now, that was the second time I loaded th3ory.
The first time, I went to uninstall something and when I hit uninstall the button started flickering wild.
I kept mashing uninstall,I got it to switch to the next screen where you hit ok.
Then got a pop up over and over, phone force close sorry.
Pulled battery and went recover and loaded bamf.
So th3ory came out with v4 I thought ok why not.
Then I had the dead phone problem like you are talking about.
I don't want to bash any dev or Rom but I'm not sure about th3ory Rom guys.
I posted because this just happend to me and many post are talking about battery.
I don't think its a battery problem guys

For one all GB ROM have the data load issue when trying to uninstall. Second, if it was a issue, more people would have reported it.
Titanium Backup, a App you use in every ROM, CPU setting to low, not wipe to save some time, a multitude of things could cause you a issue.
In my defense, if it were my ROM, it would be heard.

Dude. Stop bashing the GB dev Rom. You run the risk of bricking with any Rom. Plenty of people are using GB and the 2.5 radio with no problems, myself included. If it docent work right on your phone then put something else on it. Not every phone is going to react the exact same way to a flash. Your always going to have those few exceptions, even with OTA's.

Not good advice at all.
Check your charging cable! I just had a bad cable the other day and my phone was doing the same exact thing... light bliking on and off. I found if I plugged it in and then lightly pulled it half way out the orange light stayed solid, but it took some work.
Before you start freaking out, just try another cable... hopefully its not the connectors inside your phone.

no need to get your panties in a bunch.. My advice is only worth whatever it is.. (which may be nothing too).. and I am not thrusting it on anyone to follow it.
Where the hell do you figure I am bashing devs??? The more time one spends on xda the more you come across these noob "police figures" who go around poking into unrelated stuff getting all worked up for nothing.. Like I said.. it is probably something to do with how the alpha gingerbread works at the core level which is causing all these problems.. it has nothing to do with devs.. and look around you.. plenty of people are reporting the same. I didn't see anyone complaining when devs reported the same with the earlier GB and asked people to stay away from it. Were they doing it so that they can bash other devs who had their GB roms out before they did? I don't think so. So quit shooting from your hips and move along.
If the led is blinking it means the phone is totally dead. If you let it sit the light will eventually become solid and be fine

Hello, people of xda-dev.
I just recently encountered a frustrating problem. One third of my touch screen is unresponsive. It just randomly happened over night.
I unlocked it and rooted it a little while ago (for the android battery app and such).
I tried the second method on this thread with no success : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131649
I also tried restoring to factory state a couple of times and erased the cache.
I am running Android version 2.2.2
If you need more information, ask away!
Thank you.
If you search there is lots of threads about this issue. Only way replace digitizer
Its a common Atrix problem
I had this problem for about 6months now

So it wouldn't be something like, I don't know, a partition messing up or something? (since I unlocked it)

nope sorry m8
Aww.. well thanks!
So I need to buy a new digitizer and replace it?
Does it mean the new one will probably fail after a couple of months too?
Wow.. I removed the battery (again) and opened it again.
Same vertical dead line, but this time it's about half smaller, and a little shifted to the right :l (I'm testing it with Touch Test)
Do you really think it's hardware related?
If you still have warranty coverage, flash sbf to unlocked stock. Send it in. They will send you a brand new phone.
At least that is my experience with two separate atrix units.

I know its that area that needs looking at. I had the issue. Used some tape near top of phone battery area. And everything worked again. Did a couple of battery pulls due to deving and now its lost again. Now it wont work again

This is more of a help me what to do thread
for the last two days the weather in the northeast has been crazy hot.. both days have gone to +100.
Humidity has been at its worst. I noticed that my phone started acting weird, in the sense that the capacitive lights kept flickering.
I had done the init.post.boot before so they should be off!!
And now some letters are not responding, however is only when the phone is vertical. -- the letter , the delete(backspace) and the enter key dont respond.
Strange however, they do respond when i rotate the phone horizontally.
Im running Eclizpe's 5.1 rom. I have tried wiping data and installing all fresh to no avail
I have run permissions and nada.
At this point i think its a hardware issue, but since i have S-Off, am I SOL?

Yes it has been hot as to why that is happening i'm not quite sure it could be HW but wait until sunday as it is supposed to be 82
You should check the water damage indicators behind the sides of the battery. If its white, you may be able to send it for warranty. S-Off really shouldn't matter (correct me if I'm wrong) , what matters is that you need to be running a stock rom, a stock recovery, and have it unrooted. Im sure something else too but I can't remember.

And a locked bootloader/s-on.
i did check the indicators both on phone and on battery, both are white so i know no water damage. Phone hasnt been dropped or anything like that.. I think it was just a mix of humidity and maybe a little sweat from when ppl wouldnt stop calling

I don't know...I'm in Texas less than 5 hours from Mexico and the heat/humidity sucks. I work part time carpentry and phone has had no problems. I've read humidity can be an issue but I don't buy it. Something the carriers like you to believe so they can claim water damage I think

I flashed cm9 rom for my t-mobile atrix 4g and ever since then the touch screen doesnt work properly you have to touch a little below the thing your trying to touch and as a result you cannot use the touch buttons at the bottom which makes it damn near impossible to use the phone any ideas????????
You probably nuked or corrupted your /pds.
Try to reflash first off, if it still happens try to revert to whatever ROM you had before. If issue still persists its likely a digitizer problem, which is bad news. Search the forums for help on that issue.

What's up Xda? I have a question the top of my EVOLTE's screen is messing up. Just randomly right now. What I mean by messing up is that my notification bar becomes non responsive. At times it'll even slightly drop down maybe a quarter of the way down the screen without me touching it at all. Keep in mind it's just randomly right now not while I'm running certain apps or anything just random.
I am running cm10 stable and I did the pointer location grid and it showed me that no response was being read in that area.
Now keep in mind evolte is in prestine condition. No water damage or drops at all this just started out of nowhere. Anyone else having issues? If so did you do anything to solve it?
I'm gonna take it to sprint tomorrow, but gotta restore it back to factory first. I was just hoping there was another way. My sprint store reps and techs don't seem to know anything. They just give u a new one.
I also ran into this problem with my old evo 4g, but there was rain involved with that.

Why don't you flash sense rom first.
Just to see if it works, before going to sprint.

I am having the same problem!!!!! i thought it was just me, my notification bar doesnt respond, when I try to touch anything at the top, it doesnt respond, when I lock the screen, I could touch the screen and the ring will not move. I have searched the forums for a reason and havent been able to seen anyone with the same issue that resolved it..other than taking it back to the sprint store and getting another phone...I am rooted too, so I am concerned about returning the phone and having an issue, any suggestions??

Did you take it while on cm10? I wanna take mine so they can also fix my screen and battery but I'm afraid theyll say something cuz of this. Don't really wanna waste my time relocking boot loader and going to stock just so they can fix hardware.

I don't recommended taking it to the sprint store running cm10 I would flash a stock ROM first. Idk about yours, but back in the day I took my og evo tho the sprint store and they just handed it back to me because my boot animation was different.
As far as my screen issue goes I think it had something to do with an app I had. I had the GBA emulator and whenever it was running it kept the icon on the notification bar. Once I uninstalled it I haven't had the problem since. Still its only been about 19hrs, but still nothing. Hopefully it doesn't happen anymore because sprint in my area sucks.

Definitely sounds like a bad digitizer
This just started happening to me a couple of days ago! I'm running MeanROM, i have the screen randomly hitting buttons or not responding but if I turn the screen off/on it responds properly for a few minutes or so before screwing up again. I'm going to try doing a fresh install now.
Edit:
So, I did a fresh install of Stock with Goodies and installed updated Liberty kernel and haven't had any issues for the past 24 hours.
The same thing happened with my OG evo. Dealt with it for over a year until o got this phone. I hope it doesn't do the same thing.

I reset it to factory settings, however, I noticed the superuser app was there. But no, they didnt say anything to me about it, truthfully, they couldnt do much bc the touch screen wasnt responding very well.
The digitizer is going bad, youll have to get it replaced, happened to my forst evo lte
