Any ideas?
I was in TWRP at the main menu, instead of clicking power off, I pulled the battery to replace the sd card with another. Now it will not power up, when I plug it in..no red light?
Thanks in advance...Jim

See if you have any luck trying to boot without an sd card in there. Also, try holding down on the power button for at least ten seconds

Neither helped...
have no sd card in it now
holding power button for 20 seconds doesn't do anything.
Let it charge for about 10-20 minutes then try again

This happened to me about a week ago. Charging it was what fixed it.
If charge it doesn't fix go to a sprint store and let them charged the battery the did the trick for.my EVO 4G once the happened, for.some reason the battery seems dead when is nor really dead
MGS on my iPad
Maybe check the battery connectors dood. I know some htc models have problems with those.
Coz i just saw it in 3D with the Shooter!
mines not powering up either.. Never turned it off, woke up this morning & it was off. Not powering up. been on charger all night
happens all the time to me. i know its a flaw, but ive learned to NEVER let my battery go all the way dead. If i see it get around 5-10% ill just put in on airplane mode til i can get to a charger. Also if you battery is very low, turning it off or pulling the battery will cause it to get an attidude and not turn back on for 15-20 min
Yeah, I have been having lots of "attitude" from my battery or power button or on/off code or whatever is making these things not want to power on reliably.... Not to mention the random charge-light-on-wont-turn-on antics. Has been happening more and more frequently and nothing i do works reliably so I just try them all until one works.
I can't have this. This morning I woke up to a locked phone, screen off, green light on, won't turn on.... And totally dead battery while plugged in? Good thing my nook is so reliable as an alarm clock or I might have been in deep **** at work.
It's not the rom or kernel... I've tested everything. I think it's deeper than that. I might not be able to wait for the nexus-prime.... Sgs2 might have to do.

I've seen a lot of these posts. I usually never let mine get in the amber even but I recently flashed viper rom so i wanted to do a battery calibration...meaning..reset stats from full charge..then use it till it dies. After reading these posts I realized mine hadnt died on me any yet. After 16 hours of heavy abuse (12 hours of normal music streaming, calls, text, web surfing etc...and 4 hours of just playing youtube video's with all radio's on trying to kill the damn thing) it finally croaked. Worked just fine though.
Maybe something to do with certain shipments. I've seen a lot of posts on htis but no one ever puts out a batch number or anything. Perhaps all the ones having issues came from a similar batch...and have some designation of affiliation with said batch. Just a though..if we could discover some trend in this...perhaps they'd consider acknowledging it and helping users with issues...or at least help new comers to the thread avoid particular troublesome ones.

i think it has something to do with the non HTC s-off method. But im right with you. As soon as Sprint releases the s2 this 3D is going straight to ebay. I love it, but the signal weakness and power problems are MAJOR things that I cant take much longer

It did this before I did s-off.... Admittedly not as much, but it also hadn't done it any more afterwards.... Until a week or so ago, and it just seems to be getting worse. I have an unmodified eng hboot and radio, I doubt that there are remnants of revolutionary that would get progressively worse over time....but I have no idea honestly.

Agreed. I stopped into my local radio Shack two days before release to play with their demo unit.... Turned on... Played with 3D... Turned off... Never came back on again, ever. Tried everything.
Sucks cuz I do love htc build quality. It just feels good in the hand. LOVE qHD, definitely gonna miss that. But this is bad and getting what worse.... And that's without mentioning the awful signal strength..... We'll see...

AWFUL signal strength. actually, worse Ive ever had on a phone.
my EVO never came back. I was at 60% batt life when I put on charge last night & was dead ass hell this morning.. no life at at.. Sprint tech took it apart it said the phone apears like new, just lifeless. swapped battery with 3 others, no good. So I figured it would be a long shot but I took it back to the store I got it from 36 days ago.. & Explained what happen.. Swapped me out with another one right then & there!..
BTW this is my 5th NEW Evo3D. thats sad...
Am I the only one impressed by the new standard Motorola has done with the Razor Maxx? I don't necessarily like the unremovable back but for a 3000+ mah battery I think its a small sacrifice lol. I used to have a 3000mah extended battery on my og evo and it made the phone huge! I really hope other companies can expand on battery technology and improved SOC. I would love to see 2012 be the year of 24 hour battery life be something normal.

Un removeable battery is no no imo. Too many issues could arise. They better watch out or Apple will sue them

I agree, I think more manufacturers should be going this route as my biggest complaint is battery life. But like others said, unremovable battery is a deal breaker. There's been too many times that I had to pull the battery when either my phone completely froze, wouldn't boot past the splash screen, or got stuck in a boot loop.

So I guess none of you know you can hold power + vol up + vol down for 4 or 5 seconds and the phone does an instant force restart no matter what? It is built into the hardware, much like holding the power button on a PC that is frozen for 4 seconds does a force shutoff. You dont need to pull a battery for any reason

This is what I do every time. It works if you can get it once it gets easier. Unfortunately I don't think removable 3000+ mah batteries are in the near future. I'm not sure about anybody else but can you imagine a quad core 20+ hour battery life phone? Now that's the technology I'm looking for. Once more people focus more on battery technology a truly 'perfect' phone will be in reach

Well if you're going to develop, you'd have ADB with you and should be able to easily reboot the phone into recovery or whatever through there. 3000mah batteries built into the case but still remove the case is a good idea. We've, however, gotten out as much as we could from li-ion so it's really time for a new type of battery.

I thought of that but my screen on time is 43 minutes which seems about right.
I am ASTOUNDED by the battery life. And laughing at all the people who held off from buying cuz theywere worried about not being able to swap batteries. On my first charge, I got 1D 4hrs something and at 20% St with 7+hrs screen on. Amazed
Granted, twice I plugged into the PC for just a couple minutes to transfer files and adb test. I am officially blown away.

Wouldn't it show up on the power consumption screen though with the rest of the apps on the list?
This helped me:
Charge your battery up to full
While plugged in, take charging chord out.
Once the led light turns off plug it back in till it's green. (i usually wait 10 seconds before plugging back in)
With the charging chord still in, turn it off.
Unplug it till the led turns off ( again I let it stand 10seconds) then plug it back in till its green
Do this about 10 times

Can you do a reboot of the phone without pulling battery, and screen becomes unresponsive. On my HTC I can hold power and volume - for a few seconds and it will reboot but then again it has a unremovable battery. Just wondering can I do same with this phone, thanks in advance.

Thank you the reason i ask is because i have two photons i plan to give one too each of my 8 and 9 year old daughters for games and netflix etc.... I bought them shells but the tabs that keep them shut broke off. I wanted to super glue the shell together but if i do that i won't be able to get to battery for a manual reboot... So im thinking i need to get them new shells the rubber jelly kind that just goes over phone.
Have you let them sit for a few minutes when frozen? A lot of times it will reboot itself but I rarely have the patience to wait? Otherwise you'd have to let the batteries fully drain and hope they charge and come back on.
As far as I know, you have to pull the battery.

So today while i was listening to music via AmazonMP3 in my car through the radio, it was also plugged into the charger. the phone went idle and turned the screen off, nothing abnormal here, however, this time when i went to turn the screen back on it would not. music was still playing and the orange charge light was on.
This happened twice today. the first time i was able to hold down the power button and force it to reboot. the second time it won't even do that. i hold down the power or hold down power+vol down/up and nothing happens. not even the buttons flashing. i've gone to the point of holding them down for 2 mins just to see if long term holding may somehow do it.
when i got home i plugged it into the computer to see if the computer would recognize the phone and to see if i could force reboot it using ADB. the computer did not see it and i tried ADB devices and it did not see it either. i'm basically at a loss at this point and any ideas would be welcome
little about the phone
running Viper 2.0.3 with S-off
well the LED just turned of... so i went and plugged it in to see if it would come back on and boot up.
neither the charging light or the phone came on....do i now just have a paper weight?

Have heard a couple people say to leave it on charge, whether the charge light comes on or not, for 24 hours. Then try to reboot.

ok after letting it sit off the charger for a couple hours last night i plugged it in to start t he 24 hour charge and the charge light started flashing like it would normally to let you know of low battery. after about a minute this didn't change but i took the chance and attempted to turn it on. which it did come back on at this point. however, it didn't have enough charge to stay on since the charger is not a fast charger and wasn't giving more then it used. it shut back off. i unplugged and replugged and this time it flashed and then turned solid. turned the phone back on and it stayed on without issue.
this morning it was still coming back up. though i have had one instance where it didn't today but i was able to force it off by holding the power button.
i went ahead a few minutes ago and updated to viper 2.5 and i'm hoping that the reload will correct the issue... guess we'll find out
Thanks for the help!

well at this point i'm saying it's a hardware issue. after i updated to 2.5 (and got the viper tweaks error resolved) i'm still having this issue. even had it this morning without it going screen off and i was looking at it this time when it happened. what it did was the screen just looked like it currupted the image with vertical lines and everything went grey as it was fading out. and then the charge light stayed on again. at least this time i was able to force it off again and turn it back on.. but yeah. i'm going with hardware issues. i'll probably go to Verizon tomorrow or this weekend and ask if i can take my wifes upgrade 1.5 months early. it'll be nice if they let me.. though now i need to figure out what i'd want to get..choices...

expandable memory is always nice!
though i'm also looking at the LG G2. my dad has one of those and it's been great. the 3000 battery is nice, as is the 13 MP camera...i'll just have to compare and see which one i like better over all. price may play a part as well since right now the G2 is $50 while the One Max is $300....
just looking at them compared though. the One Max doesn't have as good a processor as the G2. 1.7 GHz vs 2.26 Ghz (both quad). i suppose a take the good with that bad would come on either phone since the G2 doesn't have expandable storage.
also... i'm not sure i'd want a phone that size. 5.5 would probably be the largest i'd want. i'll hold it when i go to the store. maybe i'll find it more comfortable then i think...

I had a Samsung phone for 2 years and hated it, it constantly froze and I had to do a battery pull daily. There was also little development for it though u doubt you will have that problem if you get the note 3. After owning that phone for 2 years and then picking up the DNA I have become an HTC fan. I had a Samsung continuum. Jut my little rant about Samsung.
