I woke up this morning, and my phone wasn't turning on. I thought it was dead and I put it to charge. I notice that the red light comes on for like 3 seconds then it goes off, I thought it was the cable so i used a diferent one, but still the same thing. I can turn on the phone for 30 seconds then it turns off again by it self. Now I dont know if I should take it to sprint (because I got Insurance) because my phone is rooted and I'm affaid they would say that happend because the root. what can i do?

I had the same thing LOL. When its turned off, and you charge it, the led blinks a few times right? Just keep it on the charger, it is charging. It just goes into some special mode when turned off and charging. Idk what that mode is called, but I read something about it on xda . I was concerned about that when I had it too, but I just kept it on the charger and after some time it works again (not one minute though). To get out of the mode: remove and instert battery.

I guess it was super dead that the light wasnt coming on when charging , THANKS! After a few minutes (10) charging with out the light, the phone came on by itself!

I already thought so, but with me it didn't boot by itself, I had to do that manually :S. I'm glad for you it works again though

Why does this do this?
I left it on charge over night last night, to my surprise - it hadn't charged...
I have read all over about this, but this is different...
I connected it again, and one blinking red light came up, not the triple you usually get if it's dead...
this is the only response, and is continuous.
it finally turned on, I checked the status after turning everything off and setting it to airplane mode. it was at 1%...
2 hours later it was still at 1%, and then after 10 minutes i checked and noticed it said 0%.. then died.
It's now still plugged in and is flashing one red light again.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Hi.
Have you taken the battery out?, if not do so for 10 seconds or more and pop it back in see what that does.
Happened to me once, no matter what I did it didn't charge do i took the phone to the service center, they messed with something on the upper side of the phone.. plugged it into the wall and booooooom ... started charging again..
When I asked him what he did, he told me " it just needs a little magic ! "

Have you tried a different battery?
I don't know if we can fix this problem but as other posts above have said that mobile shops could be able to fix it.
You could be able to send it to SE but if your phone has been rooted or debranded you void the warranty.
i had the same problem last night, the battery died and then when i plugged it in it came on to charge, and then off again. after that point just blinking red light.
i removed the battery for some time, plugged it back in, and left it on charge for a bit and it came on.
i think the problem is, that when it starts charging, it wants to turn the screen on, which takes more power than the charger can give. so it goes into a loop. and dies.
but leaving it on charge helps (it worked for me)
my phone wont turn on this morning. when I plug in the charger the red led light turns on for a few seconds then goes off. is the battery just dead or is my phone bricked somehow?

pull battery then put it back in then connect to the stock charger and let it sit for 10-15min then start it up
in the future try not to let it get below 5%, i've heard the 3d has issues initiating a charge on fully drained batteries

Did not work, on the stock charger it just flashes the led light and doesnt charge, I'm still on my 30 day so ill bring it back and say it has a defective battery/charge system, no need to tell them I'm rooted
try plug in your pc and do a
adb reboot-bootloader

If the battery is completely dead the red led will blink for a little bit until it gets a little juice built up and then it will turn solid red. Definitely don't think your bricked. I've had this happen several times on the 3D and the 4G.
Hello guys, I'm experimenting the same issue! It was working like a charm, then I left without simcard in airplane mode, but with wifi on.
When out from wifi coverage, it turned off (maybe because of the battery drain) and can't bring it back to life!
This is just incredible, I can't believe there is no way to wake up it.
I'm trying to charge with its charger, with PC connection and nothing happens: red light for a little while and everything off again after a couple of seconds ... I'm getting nervous :-(
Take the battery out, plug it in wait till the red light goes off, 5 seconds. Now press the camera button... Phone will turn on

Hey all I was wondering if anyone could help me with my HTC Amaze. It stopped turning on maybe a month ago. I was sleeping and forgot to charge the phone so I woke up in the morning and put it on the charger and went back to sleep. When I woke up again there wasn't an LED light or anything. Eventually after messing around with it for a while the orange light would turn on for maybe 10 seconds then it would turn off and the phone would vibrate for a while and turn off too. I went on eBay and bought a new battery that came with an outlet charger. Waited a while then it finally came I charged the original battery as well as the new one. The phone still won't turn on, but now the orange LED light will stay on and after a while the green light will come on. I'm not tech savvy so I never rooted or unlocked my phone or whatnot I've just been using it normally since I've gotten it. I tried to make a claim from Asurion but they won't cover it without the deductible so I thought I'd try here before I just gave up and got a new one. If anyone can help please me please help. =)
There have been some posts of battery issues. Have you tried a different battery?
yep . i tried to charge the battery on the adapter and use the origional/new battery with no luck. :crying:
If it goes green, the battery says full charged, you're not telling us something.

Before when it first wouldn't turn on, when i tried to charge it, the orange light would come on for 10 seconds before turning off and vibrating periodically. Now the phone will act like it's charging (staying orange for a long time then turning green). But when I wait until it's green and try and turn it on no avail.

yea once but that was like 2 weeks ago before this started to happen. do u think it would be the digitizer or a part inside the phone ?

Something could've gotten loose and normal shaking in the weeks to follow probably finished the job getting it undone. Did you call your carrier or HTC about it?
Just tell them it randomly shut down after the ICS update and then eventually it stopped coming on or something, yes I know that's lying, but I don't think hardware is usually covered under warranty, unless it was faulty from the get go.
try removing the back cover and pressing the power button. the button on my back cover doesn't work as well as it used to, it'll power the screen on when it feels like it....must've come loose.
Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759925
-Also, did you buy the phone new? And you said you didn't root/unlock? If you bought it used the person before you may have installed a custom recovery.
very weird i agree just call htc and say you phone got messed up doe to the ics ota update im sure they will replace it :laugh:
So guys.... I woke up this morning and my phone was dead. Last night I plugged it in and it was charging normal (I used a new USB cable and not the one I am using a year now)... Anyway I woke up this morning and I pressed the power button and nothing came up.... I took off its battery and pressed the power button for a bit....then plugged the battery back in and the usb as well.... A dim red light came on....and then the usual charging light came on as well for 2-3 secs...and then it died.
I also tried to plug it on my computer....and the phone turned on and went to HTC white screen for 2 secs and then it turned off as well...
I am not sure what else can I do so if someone has any idea can you please enlighten me....because I am going nuts without my 3D!
The phone is s-off with clockwork recovery and cool ICS rom...and it was working perfectly.
PS: I noticed there are some red stripes on the battery...on the water indicator..is that okay?
That happened to me when my battery was severely drained, I needed a clip charger to charge the battery... Now I do not let my phone go off due to battery drain... Because it will happen again.. I believe that your battery is also degrading.... Just like mine. It is not also advisable that you use a different charger especially if the output power does not match. So don't let it go off again due to battery drain. Just my experience.

I am using that apple charger for like 4 years now on different HTC models...no problem at all... I think that new USB cable did the damage....the phone wasn't charging... and it drained the battery down...

yes please..... because its driving me nuts...that dim red light and the bright one for 2 secs is a kick in the head for me!!! hahaha btw its kinda odd that it tried to start on my computer USB??? it flashed the HTC screen for 2 secs !!
Just install 4EXT recovery as soon as your phone boots and you're good to go without the drain bug forever
Sent from my Evo 3D GSM using xda app-developers app
One thing you can do now is really to charge with a clip charger. Unless you want to wait forever charging the battery in the phone. Because your priority is to make your phone boot. When you made your phone boot you can then charge normally.
well guys you are not going to believe it.... I plugged my phone in to its HTC charger and went downstairs to eat...in the mean time...I switched on my tabled GSM module (I have 2 sim cards with the same number...)...so i went upstairs again and called my number to see if my tablet will pick up the call..... and my phone suddenly started ringing! Anyway problem solved with patience!
So basically yesterday I forgot my charger at work, and my phone fully discharged... you know, that fully part where if you try to turn on you get the 3 blink red led notification.... So today morning I finally got to put it on charger, but a weird kind of stuff happened.... I plugged it in, it was a red LED blinking (I assume charging, but can't turn on due too low voltage) this went on for a minute, then it turned itself on (I got the Legacy Xperia 4.4 ROM). I could see the battery charging animation for a minute, then it turned itself off again, like it ran out of battery again. then the same thing happened from the beginning over and over again.. I even tried to put it in the CWM so it doesn't boot the charging animation thing, it still turned off after like 30 seconds...
Now I'm stuck with a dead battery phone, and I have no idea what to do.
I would appreciate any kind of help, because I can't really work without my phone now.

EDIT: So now I instantly turned off the screen so it doesn't show the animation and doesn't drain the battery, it seems to charge now, will keep editing if something happens..
EDIT2: Phone LED is now orange... which means above 15%... I think it'll be fine now....

Charge the battery with a battery charger( it costs like $1 in my country ) and then flash a rom for which you are sure that it has offline charging.. and that too working
