Try your OEM A/C charger. Some people have reported the phone will only recognize that when the battery is fully drained.
Yeah.....return that! That is not normal at all.

Once I had my phone drain so low it died (not just turned itself off) and when I hooked up the charger, it took several minutes for the indicator light to come on and go into charging mode. Have you left it on the OEM charger for several minutes?

I'm actually experiencing this right now. It has been on the charger for about 10 minutes and still wont boot. I had a white light, now it is green. Going to give it a little more time and see how it plays out.

Yep, mine also started as white and evidently that means a completely drained battery. It changed to green and started charging soon after.

After about 15-20 minutes the phone booted up on its own. Just an FYI for anyone who thinks there phone is not working after it dies.
I've had this problem too. I just figured, it's a SMARTphone, it'll figure itself out This has easily happened to me over 5 times, and phone still works fine and holds over a day charge.

so, ive discussed IMO a very nasty thing about this phone I dont like. Of course my goal is to not let my battery die. But it has happened to me a few times. Im finding that after the battery dies, It takes me about 20 minutes to get the phone powered back on. Even if it is plugged into a power outlet. It simply does nothing for about 20 minutes after it is plugged in. Doesnt respond to power button, battery pull, etc.
So..I thought, maybe its a measure like blackberries where they wont power the radio back on until the battery reaches "x" percent. Doesnt seem to be the case either.
Ive had many HTC devices including the OG Evo, never seen anything like this...any ideas?
It's a mystery to me as well. It's happened a couple times to me. The only way I could power it on is by letting it sit on the charger for several minutes.
I think it might have to do with the way we rooted them. The developer mentioned an issue with letting the power go dead. It may not be a problem if you are in fast boot mode.
Hmmm...............

Mine has a problem powering on while it is charging. I'll have to take out the battery and unplug it to get it to turn on.
im finding out that people who are using cwm have a problem charging with power off. Im using twrp so Im sure this doesnt pertain to me..but its got to be something kernel or recovery related. im gonna ask over in vipers thread and see what kind of answers I get
Happens to me often as well. When I plug mines in, its usually good to go about 2 minutes after the red light stops blinking.

Damn, that sucks. I'm using TWRP I also suspect it may have something to do with clockwork. Although it could just be that the battery needs to charge to a certain point for the phone to kick in. Who knows.. LOL

I just ended up trading mine in for a refund. I found the 3d offered very little over the original Evo, and mine had worse reception and call quality than the original. I am now using a nexus s until a better phone comes out.
My X10 suddenly cannot turn on, press the power button, only flashing the red led 3 times(battery is full), the screen display nothing, press any button has no response, I do not know what the problem, please help...
Sounds like the battery is flat, maybe a problem with the charger or usb plug is not charging the battery? Does the light go on when you plug the charger in? Does it go green, if not then it would indicate a battery /charger problem

I faced the same issue.
My phone's problem was that when I upgraded to a new ROM, I didnt wiped the battery stats.
And phone was not turning on as the battery was flat and it was not charging also.
This is what I did.
Opened flash tool.
Removed the battery.
Pressed back button of phone and connected USB to phone and PC.
Inserted the battery.
Now I see the green LED means phone is in flash mode.
I kept phone like that for almost 10 mins ! (battery will actually charge a little when we do so)
Later I disconnected and switched on phone and it worked !
The first thing I did was rebooting into recoevry and wiping battery stats.
And the actuall battery was less than 10 % !
You can have a try this way and see if it can be fixed.
Good luck !
I did the same as Runaway Bunny. It worked perfectly after that. Just be sure to wipe the battery stats and FULLY charge your phone immediately.
EDIT
I ALSO had an issue with the USB port going bad so you may watch for that as well if the above does not work.
And let us know how you made out.
Thats very bad i kept my phone 5-6 hours on charge and it turned on this happened to me 3 times in a day
EDIT:My battery got to 5-0% in 2 secs and it turned off at that time it was my brand new phone...

I've been followed the step, but it show red LED (flash slowly) not green LED.
seems not the same problem, thanks!
What you see in LogCat when you use USB while switching on ?
I guess, now you can start ADB while switching on and wipe stats through command prompt, hope it helps.
I also had the same problem but fixed it as "Bunny" mentioned (Cute name though)

I know this is a late addition, but if all else failed then it very well might be the usb cord, i had to replace mine as it stopped working. I picked up 2 on ebay for $4 which included postage and 2 replacement batteries set me back $10 delivered

Everything was working fine...i know the battery is completely dead but like i said when i plug it in the charger the red light comes on for about 5 seconds then it goes off and wont come on again. He was gonna put a ROM on it and root it but i have to get it flashed to the metro network. He put it on mobilego i guess to backup my info but he had it on other programs, told me i needed it flashed first then gave it back to me.its been on the charger for about 2 hrs now and no charge still
Maybe he bricked it?

Did it boot yet? For me, if the battery dies, I have to pull it out, put it back and let it charge for at least 10 minutes before it starts up again.

Pull battery for a few put back in then charge it on a wall charger while its still off for 30mins...Mobilego is sync software so unless he actually went through the process of going into recovery etc etc then chances are its the battery

I would like to know if you can access recovery with the phone without a battery but with the charger on.
To access the boot menu, make sure the phone is off and press pwr + vol down. If you can access the recovery menu then there is still hope.

Sounds like battery issues... The phone thinks the battery is dead... Pull the battery out and leave it for about 20 mins or so, throw it back in, don't power it up and plug it in, let it sit for awhile(red led should stay lit) after like 20 mins turn it on

Had the same issue try plugging it into the charger for a couple mins remove the battery replace the battery plug it back in and repeat 6-7 times then hold power and volume buttons. If not leave the battery out for like an hour then try the first step. I know it sounds stupid but it worked for me. Hope it helps.

I'm on cleanROM 3.7 and everything so far is running GREAT. Recently I wiped the battery stats using Scott's tweaks, of course after a full charge and then unplugging for a full drain without charge, as with other battery calibrations on previous devices I've owned or used. After charging without break, I cannot reach a 100% charge, it stops at 99%. I am now not so sure about charging overnight as I suspect the battery/device might overheat since a 100% charge does not seem to be attainable. Anyone know about this issue?
Does the light go green?

You might want to take a gander at the following post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9777867
Your battery gauge is lying to you (and it's not such a bad thing)
That thread might be useful if it said anything about a 99% charge. Usually the little LED light turns from orange to yellow when it becomes fully charged at 100%. The light is staying orange and will not display 100%, only 99%.

Ok, so I turned my phone off last night before charging and I was able to attain the yellow LED light indication for a full charge but when I power on my device it boots up almost immediately. It skips the HTC screen and goes straight to my custom boot animation and then boots up. When the device boots up any other time I get the white HTC screen and everything like normal.

*Edit*
That's because you have fastboot checked in settings. Pull the battery, put it back in, then charge til green. If its any consolation though my battery does the same thing with the phone on it gets to 99 and hangs, but I've found that if I reboot it while on the charger it will turn green within about 10 minutes of being back on. Usually I don't worry about it being at 100% because when it actually is at 100% it goes back to 99% like 10 seconds after I unplug it. But to sum up, pull the battery b4 you charge and put it back in or uncheck fastboot then power off anand charge.

why pull the battery? why not simply uncehck fastboot??
I try not to ever pull my battery..
adb reboot if needed will work 99% of the time if you're by your computer.

Well I usually just hold the power button and push reboot if the phone needs rebooting. You probably know but you cant also hold power + volume up + volume down for about 5 seconds and it will also reboot itself. I was just trying to tell him the different ways to get the phone to completely turn off. That's why I suggested two different ways. But yes as Andy said, unchecking fastboot should be the easiest way.

I had a low battery and had been using my phone at work. I thought I had about 10% left, but looked at my phone and it was off. No, problem I have a usb cord and plug into my work computer to charge it, but no luck. The charging display doesn't come on at all. So, I tried using the same cord with the ad adapter, but same thing. When I first tried it it looked like it was trying to load up, but froze up on the first screen that comes on. So, I pulled the battery, but I am getting absolutely nothing so far. It has been on the charger for about 30 minutes now. What gives? I think I am within my 14 day period at Best buy, maybe it's a battery or phone issue. Of all the days and times it had to be today when I have plans after work, but looks like I have a date with Best Buy instead now. any ideas?
Well that was disappointing. Thankfully it was replaced without a problem. I wonder if it was from the battery dying. I tested the old battery and it powered the new one. Not sure what happened or if that's a first. I hate I lost everything on it.

I remember on my NOTE 2 once my battery died while driving. I tried to plug in my car charger and power it back up but I guess the charger wasn't providing enough juice so I let it charge for like 20 minutes and the phone powered up.
Point is if the battery is totally dead it has to charge for a bit before you can power on the phone...even with a wall charger.
