Is there any way to turn on the Htc Radar without the battery door? I've sent it to the repair center but for a mistake i didn't remove the battery door and now, they sent it back to me but whitout the battery door and here in Italy they told me that they could send me a new one but in two Months!!
Thank you for all the answers!!
If the sim door is of you can see a little black switch on left side. When You hold down the switch phone will turn on without back sim door.

Our Cingular 3125 has seen its share of rough use. Our 2-year old got a hold of it recently and dropped it. The casing around the battery broke. Since the battery door would not stay on, the phone wouldn't boot. We sent in the phone (10 days left on the warranty at that time) and they replaced the casing and the phone now works.
However when on battery power, the battery indicator cycles between "charging" and "battery", just like you're plugging in the charger and pulling it out. This results in the external and internal displays turning on and off. It happens only when the phone tries to go into "sleep" mode. As in, you close the flip or with the phone open, you wait until the power saving kicks in.
Its been a couple months since we got the phone back (my wife switched to a different phone while the 3125 was being reparied), so the warranty is expired. I did flash the phone to WM6, but the phenomenon continues to happen. Any ideas?
failure
in this case it really seems like a mechanical failure - some shortcut most possibly.
Maybe someone here has good instructions on disassembly of the phone?
Hello,
Saturday I went out, my HD2 only had like 5% battery life. I used it till it went black. The day after I wanted to recharge my phone but when I plug the microusb in to the wall charger, no led lights come up. When I press the power nothing happens. Stays black, it's like a dead stone now. I did not flash the phone for the past 2 months, it's running android already a long time now.
This morning when I pull the battery out and put it back in and push the power button then a VERY short vibration comes out of the phone but then nothing anymore the screen and leds stay dark. If I try it a second time nothing happens. So I think the battery is 99.9% empty and I can't charge it anymore through the microUSB. The only thing I can think of what happened is saterday I took a bath and my phone was lying on the edge of the bath, it did not fell in the bath offcourse. But there was alot of humidity in the bathroom because of no ventilation and warm water. The phone was working perfectly after the bath and stayed working untill the battery went to 0% when I was going out. Is my microUSB port water damaged? The stickers inside the phone are still white. (luckily). Anyone has an idea how to fix it or what the problem could be?
Remove the battery.
Connect to the power supply.
After a couple of minutes, plug in the battery (while the phone is still connected to the mains supply).
Ok I tried it.
Took battery out. Connected to usb power cable.
Waited +- 5 minutes. Inserted battery -> nothing happens.
Won't turn on, no led lights.
BUT I noticed a strange thing.
If NOT connected to power cable : Take battery out, reinsert. Power on, -> some milliseconds of vibration.
If connected to power cable : Take battery out, reinsert. Power on, -> nothing, no vibration.
So if it is connected to power cable phone acts completely dead when I reinsert battery and push power button. But if it's not connected then when reinserting the battery and I push the power button then a very short vibration is felt.
Weird ... is there something shortcircuiting the phone when connected to powercable??
Ok,
I found someone on my work who has an HD2 like me. So I tried to put a 70% charged battery in my HD2. Guess what ... same result. A little vibration and it stops .
So now I know it is not the battery. It's the phone itself. I've put it now in a bowl of rice and hope next morning it will be magically revived. Maybe when I took a bath saturday there formed some micro water bubbles inside the phone and it still isn't gone by now? I am out of ideas. If this rice thing doesn't work I'll send it to HTC repair centre. They won't notice my hspl because they can't even turn on the phone with a charged battery. I'll guess they'll swap the mobo .. again. My previous repair was because my HD2 was in a constant Carkit mode (also a hardware issue). Sigh
Can you get into Bootloader Mode (Press and hold the Volume Down button, then tap the Power button)?
Nope, it acts like dead meat, even with a charged battery I could try from my friend his hd2. My battery worked in his phone. So it is my phone who is broken.
Think some hardware is busted ... Maybe some circuit is broken ? I just don't know . Now they must repair it for the second time. The first time I got the "phone is always in carkit modus" issue which is also hardware related. I hope they will not make a problem to give me yet another motherboard and yet another IMEI . That will be my 3rd IMEI on this phone then.
Hope they pick it up tomorrow .
K Update to this post.
I've received my HD2 back from HTC repair with a new motherboard / IMEI.
All is working now again .
I am afraid it can happen again . This is my 3th IMEI / mobo now on this phone after owning it a year and 2 months.
They now also didn't put a new "VOID" sticker on the screw
Also no "water detector" anymore.
It seems like they are saying to me, now if the phone breaks again, you have no warranty anymore. It's not my fault the mobo suddenly dies . I doubt it they just "forgot" to put new void stickers on.
Never take cell phone in the bathroom.. especially if its a touchscreen.. the steam from hot water gets accumulated inside the phone and ruins it. My friend damaged his 2 handsets already.. now he doesnt take it in the bathroom anymore

There are water dector labels inside the phone and if they forgot the VOID label then that is their problem. You have twice returned the phone and by replacing the motherboard they have admitted that the problem is theirs. So they already have a history of faulty phones from you and since it has been repaired by them, then they would need to show a record of placing a viod label back on the phone.

Well I also think that was the cause the phone died later that evening.
I think the phone went dead sometime that night because of the water inside the phone. Luckily the water detection labels where still white .
I never will let it inside the bathroom again .
As for the void sticker problem, I will contact them to ask why they didn't put on new stickers. If they don't respond I saw you can buy such stickers on ebay .
I received a broken phone that had been shattered pretty bad from one of my bosses. I ended up finding a replacement digitizer/screen/chassis for fairly cheap. 5 days later I received the parts, and assumably the battery was rundown before it was handed to me, so it sat dead for about 5 days while I waited on this part to repair it. I swapped the mainboard and everything looked really good from the broken phone besides the chassis/screen. After I get it together it appears to be doing a bootloop at the HTC Sense screen. I get it into hte bootloader on the next boot. First I did a memory clear, reboot back into bootloader. then accidently while trying to shut it down i selected fastboot. I get it to start one more time and select factory reset. it still gets stuck at htc boot screen with no indication its doing a factory reset. So then finally I shut it off in what appears to be a bootloop, restart it and notice it says "LOW Voltage, please replace battery" So I'm thinking at this point the battery maybe just low and needs charging before trying to do a hard reset. I turn it off again but notice the whole unit is VERY hot, i've never held a phone this hot. Anticipating damage if I let it stay on charger, I pull it off the charger and let it cool. Now I can't get it to boot. While plugged into the A/C adapter I do get a flashing orange light indicating its charging "or trying to" and I leave it on there for a few hours. I've now tried booting it while holding down the power for 10 seconds, over a minute, with volume down and without, many different combinations and it won't boot. I get no lights unless i have it on the A/C power. If I leave it on the charger for over an hour I do get the flashing orange light for a few seconds and then it goes off completely. I called Sprint, they won't sell me a battery because its integrated on this unit. So I called HTC and they want me to ship the whole phone to them, and obviously its out of warranty since I opened it up so now they want $140.00 to fix it and 280.00 if the mainboard has to be replaced. Ouch. I've probably bought over 50 EVO's for our employees on our Sprint Business Account between the Original 4G and the 3D and after seeing this model which one of the owners purchased I have to say that this integrated battery like the stupid iphones is a HUGE disappointment as far as engineering. I tried the 1 minute on A/C power power button holding technique to mimic a battery pull reset, and get nothing. I would never buy this phone for my employees based on the battery problem alone. I've seen batteries killed in a number of scenarios not including just heavy phone usage. I'm still using my original 4G and was going to finally swap to this phone after repairing it. Disappointment doesn't begin to describe this phone. So is the consensus that the battery is dead and I need to get another one by sending it out to HTC? Any other revival tips?
My phone did the flashing orange light when I took it out of the box.
I think you can buy parts online. I'd do a search. If you changed the screen a battery should be cake.
Supposedly only two screws to get to it.

Do u have adb tools? If u hook it up does adb recognize it at all? Lazypanda has an unbricker but I sincerely doubt it will work for this. I would be mad if I bought a battery and a bunch of parts just to have them not work bc its the motherboard that needs replaced.
Was the phone dropped in water or from a height of over 10ft? Normal drops may break the screen but the motherboard? Guess it is possible.
Here's what you do, add the phone to your account, add insurance, then next day call assurion make a claim and pay the 100 and have a newly refurbished lte.

That would be insurance fraud... and if you make a claim the next day i am pretty sure they would figure it out.
My Htc Desire x has been dropped in water for about 5 sec when i pick it up it doesnt even get turned off so i thought its fully safe so i kept it to charge .On keeping it charging it showed red light sensor and on removing the cable it showed the same red light which means it is charging. on the next day morning when i saw it it was switched off on pressing the power button it showed nothing so I kept in in a bag of rice for about a week and then pressed Power button so I had given it to service center(not htc service center). They had said it has been short circuited and will be reparing it in 1day and they had taken 4 days time and now saying that we cant do anything.So what should I do now.Please Help me.
Thanks
If also the rice didn't do anything and they said something was short circuited I think you can do nothing..

When dropping an electronic device into the water, it is VERY important to:
- remove the battery as soon as you take it! Do not press any buttons or attempt any other operation
- leave the device in a bag of rice for about 2 weeks
- put back the battery in and try to switch it on. If it fails, try with another battery you know it works for sure
- works? good! does not work? you can pretty much trash the device :-/
I fear that he only thing you can do is disassemble it and sell parts like case, screen, digitizer, etc. or sell it in one piece by ebay or something...
Hi
Have a Nokia 920 which i bought second hand in the UK last August. I'm currently staying in Jo Burg: Sa. been having problems with the Phone
it died on me last month no warning as such just started to vibrate then switched off. Have not been able to bring it back to life tried software re sets and downloaded the Nokia Suite but phone never gets recognised. So brought it round to a local Cell Phone repair shop they had it a while and told me the battery was gone Ok but they could not source battery ?
Took it to another Cell Phone shop same thing diagnosed the battery as dead but could not source a battery, when i asked why it was a problem to get a battery they mentioned it was something in or attached to the battery which was making it difficult to source. I'm scratching my head over this if it's the battery surely they must be available in SA ?
Any thoughts or advice would be most welcome
Regards
Ian
An update on the Battery
Removed it from the phone and had a look around a few shops none of them had the battery in stock
Looks like I will have to go to a Nokia Service Centre if i want to purchase one
i tested the battery when i had it out of the phone no life in it. I was wondering if their is a way to charge it off the phone. Don't want to buy a new battery
and find the phone itself is not charging. I know about the wireless chargers but don't have access to one.
Thanks
Ian
