Been using the samsing case till now w/o any issues. However today i was lying down on the bed and i dropped the front flap which i was holding behind the tab while firmly gripping lower portion of the tab in the horizontal position.
Issues:
1) As soon as i dropped the cover, the screen became all hazy and switched off. To switch it on henceforth it has to placed on a surface and power button held for awhile.
2)Battery shows 2% charge w/o charger connected. On connecting the charger
3) Battery displays 100%- remove charger. And if, i remove thecharger that causes the screen to become hazy ( ie similar to the old CRT tvs scanning for channel)
So what i am trying now is just to keep charging even though it's displayed 100%..!?( did this while tab switched off.. Showed less than 50% graphically and started to chargecad though all issues sorted. Remove charger after switching the tab ON and battery shows 3% and does the haze if charger isnt connected)
Any idea what must have happened to cause this????

Ok so I'm quite sure that she's a goner. Last night I left the phone on charge and this morning I woke up and found her hot all over (no pun), opened her up and found the battery to be really hot and the screen was off. I thought that it was just android acting up.
So, remove the battery and popped it back in w/ the ac adapter plugged and contacts on battery noted as correct-the phone would turn on and I would get as far as the Tmobile logo and displaying my rom information (RGD display, the screen with the rom info and numbers on the bottom left corner) and other stuff. I noted right away that charging light no longer comes on and when I remove the ac adapter from the phone whatever is on the screen will not display (battery depleted or charging port/mechanism no longer functions, is my guess).
I'm able to hold the vol down button and power button, so I went ahead and put my radio as 2.08.50.05**, it was 2.10.50.19_2 with using the Miri Max elegencia rom.
If all else fails I guess I'll have to send it in for repairs, please let me know what I should do in order to avoid an issue with HTC tech team, or how to put the phone back to its original (non-hspl) settings.
Currently my phone displays at the bottom left corner:
Where did i go wrong?
R 2.08.50.05
D 15.34.50.07U
G 2.13.90963 8G
It works now, I'm inclined to believe that the phone must ha e some kind of overheating cut off mechanism. Either way its resolved, it came back on after about 2 hours after not being connected.
Yesterday I drove up to Seattle to visit UW, and took with me a car AC power adapter and my AC micro USB charger. On the way up I left it plugged in, used it few times (not while driving ), everything was all great and stuff. However, during the day I was there I used it a great deal with GPS, maps, etc etc. I just barely managed to get back to the car with about 10%. So I plug in the phone, and am noticing that the touch screen doesn't appear to be functioning properly. Frustrated, I reboot my phone and find that it still has this issue. After a little while with this I realised that the problem was that whenever the phone was plugged in, the touch screen wouldn't function right (wouldn't response basically all of the time, including the "buttons" on the bottom"). So I thought "OK, so the problem is the charger, weird". However, things got weirder. For some reason I decided to take the battery cover off while charging, but then suddenly I found that the touch screen was working again. I was like "wtf no way" of course, and put the cover back on because I thought it had just magically fixed itself. But lo and behold, it stopped working again as soon as I replaced the cover. I then took the cover back off and it started working just fine. Remember that the charger stayed plugged in this entire time.
So yea, that's my weirdass story. I have no idea what could possibly cause it to only not function when the charger is plugged in AND the battery cover is on. Makes no sense whatsoever. Oh yea, and when charging directly from AC at home, or with a USB to AC, or just USB, it has no problems whatsoever.
(tl;dr my phone has a borked touch screen if I am charging in the car with an AC adapter and have the battery cover on at the same time)
So for some reason my battery got low and I was a call with my wife and the phone seemed to shut down. Then I tried powering it up and it had 1% battery life left. I plugged it in and the screen started flickering at random times between different degrees of brightness. I would turn the phone off and plug in the charger and there would be a dim light on the bottom left hand part of the screen. After a while, it went away but when I powered up the phone at around 23% it stilll flickered. Then all of a suddden it stopped flickering but now the brightness is all screwed up. The aforementioned lower left hand corner is the brightest and it fades to darkest at the right. And overall the phone isn't as bright as it once was. its almost as if a light bulb is burnt out behind the screen.
What could be going on. Is it hardware or software? I'm rooted with the olympain ROM.

Hi everyone.
I have problem with my Dell Streak 5.
It was working fine until three weeks ago. First it started to turning off in some different situations. Then after some short time of working showed 0% of battery level and powered off. In the beginning I could to turn it on again but now I can't. I see that there is some issue with charging battery - after connecting to charger (car charger, docking station, USB, regular charger) it shows battery symbol with exclamation mark and 0% of battery level. After some time it shows 1% and after longer time suddenly it shows 100% but it doesn't show that battery is charging when system is down. When there is 1 or 100 % mostly I can turn on device - sometimes works normally when is charging, another time after system start it shows 0% of batteries and turning off.
When the system start and battery level is 100% I can unplug it from charger and mostly works fine until I don't make strong tap at the screen or put it to my pocket - after that it turns off and I can't power on it again until I don't plug a charger. After charger plug in it shows again that battery is empty...
I can't turn on Streak when is not plugged it to charger.
I made phone reset - it doesn't change anything. I bought another battery - the same issue beside that it shows 30% of battery level.
Had anyone similar problem? Any ideas?
Remove back cover, place a small piece of paper or cardboard that is 2 mm thick on top of the battery. Replace cover and charge battery. There is a chance that your back cover is too loose.
are you on stock rom or custom rom ??

I wish I could get an answer for my charging situation. See Q&A section "won't charge when off" if anyone thinks they can help.
Got a problem that I am hoping someone else knows how to solve:
Device: AT&T Atrix 4G stock 2.3.4 rooted (BL still locked)
Issue: Phone will not turn on or charge
Symptomshone suddenly turned off during a phone conversation the other day and now it will not turn on or charge. I noticed the phone was pretty hot when this occurred. Nothing happens when I hold the power button.I tried a new battery and same result. If I plug the moto charger in about half way I can get the green LED to come on but pushing in the rest of the way and it goes off and does not show battery image or moto screen. Plugging the phone into a PC causes a solid green LED. I have tried with a different charger (5.0V 2.1A) and same result as moto charger. If I plug in charger and then add battery and then hold power button it consistently will try to turn on (green led,screen powers up, and moto image for a second) and then it shuts off. I did this a bunch of times and noticed upper left corner of Phone getting warm (where the headphone jack is). I opened then phone up and didn't see any obvious problems. I bent a couple of the large spring pins around the headphone jack out for better connection and reassembled phone. Then it powered up like normal overnight but has been shutting off randomly. I was able to remove battery to get it to boot back up for a couple days but now it is dead again.
Any ideas? I am pretty sure I have a hardware or electrical connection problem. I really appreciated any guidance. Thanks.
