Ok, dumb question time... I have an Infected TB and it's been working fine for a couple months. About 2 weeks ago the phone starting rebooting itself all the time and would get stuck in a reboot loop. It even reboots itself from recovery. Now I figured that it was a problem with the rom if it rebooted in the OS, but I figure that it is a phone problem if it reboots in recovery just sitting there. I looked up on here yesterday and saw someone say that if you have the rom with the PG05IMG.zip name, on the sd, that it can cause reboots... I go grab the phone and now it won't even turn on. I get a really slow blinking amber light when it's charging though.
Any ideas, is the phone just shot since it won't power on... or is there a trick?
Thanks,
Clayton
Slow blinking amber light? Mine does that when my battery overheats. Have you tried a different battery in it? Could be bad.

That blinking means its dead.. Sounds like a bad battery

True, I grabbed my business partners battery and mine booted. And rebooted lol. Now I hope it's just rom related. Anything else I should try?

Ok sorry if this has already been discussed but I'm kinda in a hurry. I'm having an issue where if I tell the phone to reboot or even power off, it will just turn off and not come back up without a battery pull. Last time I told it to reboot (fastboot off btw), it turned off, then the red led came on for a few seconds, then it just stayed off. I've noticed that the only way around this is to pull the battery and then try to boot it up, which works fine but is annoying as hell. Is this a common issue or what, trying to get some opinions on whether or not to try to exchange it before I get off work and go outta town.
Try a factory reset. Still no luck, then take it back

Well, I hanging on to this 3VO for right now at least, still hoping to hear from more people. Actually, I hope this isn't a real problem with the 3D's in general and that mine is a somewhat isolated incident. Bad comes to worse, I swap for a new one or the GS2 at the end of the month.
I had that problem for a day on mine, and after that it never happened again.

Oddly enough, same here I think. It happened a couple times during the first 2 days maybe and hasn't done it since... weird...
Mine was having the problem where if I restarted it would just power down. Then it got to where I had to pull the battery to get it to turn back on. Took it back yesterday.

I really hope i dont have to return my phones... My wife mentioned it to me that her phone wasnt rebooting any more when she presses restart an i tried it on mine an it wont do it any more either. Maybe its just a update
I have the same problem after restarting I had to pull battery. I think its just a bug the phone works perfect other than that.

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.
Here's what happened
I rooted, unlocked, and installed Fourth Bar Sense and Faux's Kernel 0.0.8 about a less than a month ago.
Installation is a success, no bugs, glitches, and everything runs smooth.
3 days ago I charged the phone to 100% and reset battery stats since I read a post claiming that it could boost my battery time.
Today the Amaze runs out completely out of battery.
Plug it up, LED turns orange and leave it to charge for 2 hours.
2 hours pass when I notice that the LED isn't on.
Get suspicious. Try to turn it on. Wont. Try to go into recovery mode (
It's volume down, and long hold power button down right?) Nothing.
Would be thankful if anyone could help out.
What recovery do u have installed? Its probably one of two things, either the recovery you have installed is the older one that does not support off charging, therefore since its dead you will have to find another phone to charge it with. Or 2, your battery is fried...

I have C.W.M 5.0.2.6.
I've had problems off charging it before.
That's going to be near impossible. No one I know has an amaze, evo, nor sensation.
Should I take it to Tmobile and see if they can do something? Perhaps exchange it for a new one? I have warranty.
Just try letting it charge longer. I had a similar problem and it took a few hours to charge enough to be able to turn on.

Well, it's been charging for about 8 hours now and still won't turn on.
Something similar happened to me, and after plugging it in, unplugging it, replugging it in, taking battery out, and doing that for a bit my phone eventually booted up. If no luck, go to a TMo store and tell them you need to borrow a battery or phone to charge your battery.

ok, here is an odd problem... will try to explain it as good as I can... with my poor english.
got a GSM model here. after rooting the phone, I updated once for HTC clock wiglet then all the sudden the phone won't boot. it stuck at the HTC logo with the white screen, and then after a short moment, it vibrates then reboot again. and it keeps doing this again and again. guess thats normal among androids? but I just don't know how to fix it. as I checked the recovery screen. it got s-on again. not sure if that is the cause of the problem, but again, I dont really know hot to fix it.
so I was thinking flashing the phone again? but another funny thing happened. the phone doesnt seem to be charging. the orange/red on the top right is staying on for a couple of seconds then off for a couple of seconds then on... so on and so forth.
I am afraid it was the USB port that caused the crash of the system so I think I better ask here first before I do anything.
Anyone has experienced anything like this? or has any idea whats going on?
thanks in advanced!!
forgot to mention. the orange/red indication light is going on and off with and without charging
Anyone?

Sounds to me that your battery is empty. The reason it turns off after you turn it on is because it turns on, sees the battery level low and shuts off to prevent the battery from getting damaged.
The blinking light is common when charging a dead battery. Let it charge for at least 30 minutes and see if the charge light turns solid.

I left it charge over night n it's still playing up. But anyway, I have send it back for warranty. Thx all the same!

I was running a CM9 build, and my battery got low. Out of nowhere it shut off(rather than powering down) when I still had 10-15% battery left. I figured no big deal, I'd just pop my other battery in. Nothing. Plugged it in to charge(with both batteries), nothing. Can't get to Hboot or recovery as of now. Anything? Anyone?
Crisis averted. I have no idea what the hell happened, but I popped the full battery back out and back in a few times, and then it randomly worked. That was scary as hell. I've never seen it do anything like that before.
Wow that's certainly strange.. Glad you didn't brick though

As do I. I was going DEFCON 1 for a little bit. Hope to never have that happen again.
Same thing happened to me on clean ROM 4.5. A couple times, I have also seen the problem here before. The phone doesn't like to go dead for some reason but it always came back on after awhile with a new battery or starts charging after sitting plugged in awhile. I have just been switching batteries as soon as its low.

I don't understand why putting a new battery in though doesn't immediately solve it though. I had heard of people having charging issues after it died, but not with a new battery in. Lesson learned though. Ha.
Note to self: do not let phone die. It will get even by causing you to have a mini stroke

I believe it has something to do with the the board holding a charge without a battery. I have had it happen to me a couple of times. If you wait 5 to 10 minutes, if begins charging. It scared me the first time it happened to me.

Luckily it randomly decided to work. I think what may have caused it is that I used my extended battery(only 1980 mAh) for the first time in a while, so the battery was misreading the percentage, and actually fully discharged. Still doesn't explain why a fully charged battery wouldn't boot it though. *shrugs*
