It locked up once and I restarted it.
Locked up again after a few minutes, shut itself down and no matter what I do, I can't get it to restart.
Kind of a suck way to start the day.
Just this afternoon picked up my shiny new replacement from Best Buy...totally new shipment which had just came in. I added no apps and 15 minutes later the first random reboot. It rebootted7 times in two hours and then just t turned itself off and won't come back to life.
No...the battery isn't dead.
Plug it into any charger and the charging light doesn't come on.
Seriously....this is frustrating.
maybe its your battery
let it charge for a bit with the device off
did you unlock the boot loader
can u flash roms?
can u even get to the bootloader?
Phone is fully charged. It was working fine during a call and when I hung up the call, the screen locked up then quickly blinked twice and that was that.
I tried pushing the power switch for almost two minutes and noting happened.
Better now than when I am traveling for work I suppose.
Take it back before the grace period. Lolz?
My tpu case seems to be making the power button stick causing reboots. If you have a case, take it off and I would also remove the shiny top back cover and try again. If that doesn't work, call for replacement.

If you take the shiny back cover off you maybe removing something important. Look on the inside surface of the cover and you will see copper contact points. Is this the NFC antenna. I'm ignorant to how it works, just speculating.

I suggested taking it off just to try to get the phone to boot in case the power button us stuck. I didn't intend for him to leave it off forever

I understood what you meant
I did try it minus my TPU cover just in case that was the issue although the power button seems perfectly free..
Maybe they new camera will somehow magically be better

Well.....it sprang back to life all by itself sitting on my desk at work this morning (it is sitting there waiting for BB to call me and tell me they have a new replacement). It simply powered up, booted and came to life sitting there.
It now reboots a couple of times an hour just sitting there and at times actually turns Mobile Networks OFF all by itself.
Perhaps it is possessed?

It must be you. I think you need Jesus in your life.
Yeah.....maybe that's my problem. My heart sunk with the first lockup and reboot. I said some rather ugly stuff to my phone in the car.
BB stated they had taken back two out of the 7 preorders and when I asked for what reason, he said he wasn't sure.
Tomorrow I will exchange it one more time at a BB 100 miles away from the first one since we are away this weekend and they are already holding it for me. Maybe a change of venue will help
Sounds like some serious bad luck. I haven't heard of anyone's dying until you. I hope the different BBY return will do better for you man...

Speak for yourself, troll.
So in the beginning of July I dropped my Rezound in some water, and it voided those water sensors on the back, and thought it has been functioning fine, you can notice that there is/was water under the very back of the screen when it is a white screen and it messes up from here to there but has worked alright. So I used my upgrade in March to get this phone and Verizon basically said I can buy a new phone at full price or else I'm screwed and stuck with it. Besides just finding someone on craigslist, ebay, etc.. anyone got any ideas on how I can get a new Rezound on the cheap or anything else 4g from Verizon on the cheap that isn't a turd, or somehow I can get a discount?
Just looking for any input, I'm fine with it now, but it's just annoying, and I'm not sure how long the phone will be operational.

Do you not have insurance on your line?
Check out TeamBAMF's marketplace... they have some Thunderbolts and Rezounds for sale there.
Plug it into a charger, wrap it in a paper towel and put it in a bag of dry rice and let it sit for a few days. I've saved an iPhone and a camera that way.

Why do you plug in the charger?
Perhaps a little heat to help drive out the water? Just my guess.

Exactly. Putting it on the dashboard of your car works too, just make sure it's completely covered in rice so it doesn't get too hot. After all, you can bake cookies on your dashboard nowadays.
Oh! I forgot to mention taking the back off, for better airflow. Removing the battery, SIM and SD card don't hurt either, but I don't think the charger will work if you remove the battery. None of my other phones ever have but I've never tried it with my Rezound.

Putting it on the charger can make the water damage worse. Put it in the sun or something but don't put it on the charger. Water + electricity = kablam

He did say it's been working fine other then the water in the phone...
You can check the marketplace here on XDA too. I've seen some rezounds for around $200.
We're only talking about 5V, 1A, which isn't a lot of power. Yes, at high voltage or high current, water and electricity don't mix but I'm sure he's charged it since he dropped it. I've saved devices in exactly this way in the past. Screens are the the hardest part to save, though. The touchscreen on my old iPhone needed to be replaced because the bottom half stopped responding to touches and the camera has a very faint shadow in the screen if you hold it at a certain angle in bright light. Both devices otherwise work perfectly but I hardly use them any more because they've been replaced by my Rezound.
So now to the problem, i bought this HTC Amaze 4G from ebay, the description said that the phone has water damaged but that everything still worked except the lcd, that its black. So i bought the phone and a brand new lcd, so i thought it was a easy fix. So i got the phone did the replacement, and as the ebay description said everything was still working, it boots up and vibrates and i can call it and itll ring and text it and leave voicemails so it seems like its all there, EXCEPT the lcd is still black! I already installed the new lcd but its still showing up black. So anybody have any ideas?
At first i thought oh ok it needs to charge (cos at first it wouldn't even turn on), then it did turn on but the screen was still black, so i thought the motherboard is fried, but i did the calling and texting and the other little tests, so im thinking its not the motherboard... Any ideas guys? Thanks.
I had this issue with a MyTouch 4G before. i couldn't figure it so i gave up on it for a little bit, Then one day it came on but the moment you touched the screen or a boot animation played the screen would shut off, and the phone would continue to boot. I ended up taking the phone apart and cleaning the board. Put it back together and its worked great ever since.

oh ok, thats a good idea. what did you clean it with? alcohol swab or just regular wet towel? thanks for the advice
I had some special cleaner left over and i used a cotton swab. But alcohol should work, just be careful to make sure the swab isn't dripping wet, and that you don't leave cotton strands caught to solder points.

I just picked up the Nokia wireless charging pad... it's pretty sweet.
My plan was to just keep it on my desk at my office and put it on it whenever i'm not using the phone. Is this bad for either the pad or the phone? Realistically there are times where I would be picking it up and putting it down several times in under one minute.
Obviously I could make a habit of leaving it off the pad for the times where i'll be picking it up and putting it down but I wasn't sure if there's any need for that.
Let me know what you guys think... thanks

I second this. I just bought a Nokia charging pad too, and noticed that if I left it on the pad more than just over night the phone got very hot. I usually run my battery down to the 20% range over the course of the day, plop it on the charger at night and wake up to a phone that is no warmer than with the traditional USB charger. I would just keep an eye on the charge light, if the phone flicks to green, take it off. That's the beauty of wireless, no muss, no fuss.
Hi guys,
Does anyone know where the water sensors (white round strips) are on HTC One? I accidentally dropped my HTC One in water. It started vibrating and I could not turn it off. It turned off once the battery got drained. I am not sure if I should try to plug it in. Its just over a month that I bought it..but I dont have the accidental insurance...I wonder how HTC knows if the cellphone (in particular HTC One as it is pain in the ass to open according to ifixit) has water damage or not.
Thoughts??
Appreciate your help!!
Thanks...
just call att and tell them then you want the insurance added. tell them you didn't realize it was just over a month. they always honor it. then next day do a claim.

I am not sure if you should try turning it on either. Not do I know about how htc detects water damage.
My sister-in-law spilled some soda on her phone and put it in a jar of dry rice (surrounding the phone with rice entirely) to dry it out. It worked well for her, but I don't know how effective it is in general. Nevertheless, it might be worth a shot.
When I took my phone in for a replacement they checked what color it was under the glass for the flash. Maybe that could be it somehow?
Pull out the SIM card slot. Put it a container filled with uncooked rice and seal it up. Make sure you bury the phone into the rice so it sucks out the moisture from the phone. Leave it there for about 3-4 days. Take it out, place SIM card back in, plug in charger and see if the red notification light turns on. If it does, it means its charging and let it charge for about 30 minutes before powering it on.

I did the rice thing already for 2 days. Plugged in this morning. The red charging light starts flickering and then has been blinking ever since. Not a solid red light like its supposed to be during charging. Phone doesnt get charged. Tried holding power button for 10-15 sec with no luck.
I am assuming if I call HTC, they wont honor the warranty no more...Am I correct?

I would try AT&T they may swap it out without checking. HTC probably will check.

The same is happening to my phone right now after i kept it in rice for 3 days. What happened to ur phone then?
The flash is the water sensor, as others have mentioned or guessed. I was at the AT&T store for a sim card swap and casually asked. I know the tech well and he told me where it was himself. Also, the dry ice trick is more reliable in my experience.
You can use silica desiccant in a bag for much much better results than rice. You typically find small packets in shoeboxes, etc. (No, I am not encouraging you to take the packets out of all the shoeboxes at wal-mart. But if you did, you'd confuse the hell out of the security personnel if they watched you on camera =P) You can refresh the desiccant pebbles by heating your oven to about 300 and then turning it off & leaving the packets on a cookie sheet inside. This will purge the moisture from them and re-activate them.

I used to be honest like you, but then I took a $50,000 medical bill to the knee.
I dropped my HTC One in the toilet, and it's not working at all. Can anyone help?
It was in the toilet for a second or two. I then took it out immediately and turned it off, wiped off any excess water, and left it in a bowl of rice, rotating it every few hours, for 48 hours. I have tried to turn it on this morning, but have had no luck. The screen is just blank, and the phone does not react when I put the charger in. The led green light doesn't come on to say it's charging, and neither a laptop of computer are recognising it when I plug it in. Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with it, or is it just completely dead? It's a new phone on contract, and I really can't afford to get a new phone. Or does anyone have any idea how much it would cost to repair it?
Any advice or tips would be really appreciated!
Thanks

I have been working for a sub that repairs phones for AT&T for several years. Water damaged phones do not get repaired as there is no way to get all the water and the contaminates that it migrates to the PCB out from under all the parts and connectors. If the Rice or other suggestions did not work then the phone is history and must be replaced at your cost if you don't have insurance. If you have insurance just be honest pay the deductible and get the refurb the will give you.
Thats your only options.
The ones water Indicator is actually inside the flash lens. Look next to the camera lens and see if that's a pinkish color or a off white- yellowish. Pink is water. There's also a small one inside the Sim slot that you can't really access or see. Good luck
