i have an evo v 3d through virgin. on my lunch break i went to use my phone and screen wouldnt come on. thought battey might be dead. when i plugged it in light would blink instead of staying on steady to show it was charging. wouldnt connect to comp. either. i thought it might be: battery so i put new battery in and let it charge overnight. The screen still dont work. It vibrates still and buttons on bottom of screen light up but the screen remains dark. I tried to do a reset by holding down the volume down button and holding the power button at the same time but that didn't work. any ideas on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated Thanks
Did the charging led ever stay solid or turn green?
Are you s off
Custom ROM / recovery?
Try taking your SD card out and then boot to bootloader, hold volume down and press power

with the new battery i can get the phone to charge. light is on when charging green when full and i can power up and guess where to swype to unlock. it rings to tell me i have new notifications but the whole time screen is dark just buttons at bottom light up. i tried holding volume down and powering on but that didnt do anything nor did taking out the mini sd card. no custom ROM or anything. should all be like was when i purchased phone new.
When you hold volume down and press power does the phone vibrate or do the lights on the cap buttons turn on?
I imagine your screen has died but I'm definitely no expert

Purchased My EVO LTE this morning. Walked out of the store about 11am.
Placed it on the charger after setting up.
Started to use it (full battery) this afternoon for about 20 minutes. Sense restarted a few times, and Had a spontaneous reboot. After reboot the phone was acting odd so I decided to power down all the way. Before the power down the battery indicator was still on full. The phone was cool to the touch.
Now, the phone will not power on. The charging light will not illuminate when plugged in. Have tried holding power button 15 seconds, and a few other button combinations. Is there any help, for this other than a new phone?
I would take it back to the store you got it at and just get a new one. Sounds like a BAD EGG
Ouch. At least 1 other person experienced the sane thing,...with 2 devices in a row. Did you put an SD card in it yet?

Put in SD card before first power up. Saw the SD just fine. Already tried pulling the SD card.

Might be totally pointless but have you tried holding the power button down for over 20 seconds? I read in one of the user guides that if you hold it for 20 seconds the soft keys will start to flash, once they stop flashing release the power button and it should reboot. Like I said, it might not work but still worth a shot.

Got My EVO LTE to turn on finally.
Solution: Put it in the freezer.
Phone had been dead for several hours.
Directly before putting it in everything to get it going was a NO.
Let it chill..... and power button turned it on.
So more than likely the problem is battery related or battery ribbon cable related?
What else would cold effect?
I had two from the same store do the exact same thing.
I had last nights replacement again replaced but this time from a store 100 miles away.
Different hardware version and absolutely no issues now.
Your newest is he 004? This phone is 003.
Sometimes very slow to wake. Also sometimes touchscreen not responsive. Aka ring won't move to unlock.. But at least it turned on again

Four or five bad phones out of how many thousands sold I'd say that's not too bad at all. I bet the epic line has never seen such atrocities.

Update:
Phone worked ok for a bit when it finally came back on. Sometimes it would lag on powerup on the lockscreen aka ring wouldnt move then 45 sec later it would unlock so it was getting the touch input. then Got it hot with heavy use etc. Then at about 60% battery on the second charge after it came alive again, it started acting slow. Wifi connectivity problems etc. Speed test was 30mbit by 5 mbit on wifi at first boot. Went to unresponsive websitefis on wifi and 1mbit by 600k on speedtest when acting up. 3g connectivity was fine. and wifi on / off and or airplane mode didnt fix it. speedtest to same server on same wifi via laptop when phone slow got 39mbit by 5mbit.
Not that the other wierdness matters, anyhow...... Turned it off again and it turned into a brick same as before.
My wifes LTE runs like a champ though.

You tried holding the power button down for 20 seconds until the buttons light up?
I had a issue after the unlock where it wouldn't power on, or charge. But finally got it turned on after various different combo's and I think long holding the power button worked.

On my Evo lte the capacitive buttons are on but nothing is on the screen. Will the freezer thing work?
Need some serious assistance. Was playing with my dogs just a bit ago and decided to record it. So I go to the camera and switch to camcorder and the screen just turns green and the flash comes on and basically it's stuck. Ok so I go to settings and force stop the camera. Try to start it up and it just says unable to start camera. Ok so I guess I'll just restart the phone. Go to restart get to the white htc screen and the flash is still on. hangs there for quite awhile so I start hitting buttons. Screen goes black so I hold the power button again. Capacitative lights just flash. So now the phone won't power on no matter what I do the capacitive lights just flash at me. Any suggestions?
try holding power for like twenty seconds to reboot it.. it's like pulling the battery out. The capacitive light flash apparently means it's signaling to you that it's about to do a full reset.

Will give it a shot. My first phone with non removable battery.
Seems to have worked thanks a ton. Kinda worries me that the camcorder freaked it out like that though.

Sorry to hear this, try this. Plug in the charger, hold the power button. Release power button, hold it down again all with the charger in. I had some sort of soft brick messing with custom roms. It would not power on till i tried with the charger plug connected. I was spooked and thought it bricked.
Let me know how you get on. If that fails, RMA time

jayochs advice fixed it. Kinda freaked me out. May return it anyway as this isn't the first time the camera has caused some goofiness with the phone. Not rooted still 100% stock.
Last night i fell asleep and my phone died all the way, and now when i plug it in all i get is a lg logo then it goes away and then a dark lit up screen. ive let it charge for awhile now and i still get nothing, i cant get into cwm either.. the phone is unlocked and rooted and im running the base rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Happened to me... leave it on the charger at least 3 hours and check it. The battery completely drains when you unplug the charger if you charged with the phone off. gl
Edit: If it still won't work, turn phone on and plug in charger.

This happened to me too. I completely drained the battery and it kept going into a loop (black screen, LG logo, battery screen). I left it plugged in and off and let it boot up.
FYI
This has happened to several people. I have confirmed through testing, even exchanging my phone 2 days ago that this is an issue created when unlocking the bootloader. Rooting does not cause it. Once the bootloader is unlocked, you can not get around this by re-locking the bootloader.
The workaround is simple. Either leave your phone on while it is charging or if you charge with phone off, unplug your charger and hit the power button- you will still see the charge animation running- this is what causes the battery to drain. All you have to do is power up the phone at least to boot then it is ok to turn off. You can confirm it worked by touching the power button again and not see the charge animation. Hope this helps.
Wow thanks so much for the reply and help! I've got it working now and I guess I'll just avoid it by not letting it die lol
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
well...
If you let it die all the way, its not a big deal. Plug it in, hold down the volume down button and the power button for 15 seconds, then it will work fine.
Threads like this makes this forum so great. Another potential problem to be avoided when using the phone.

I could use some help guys, if this thread isn't too old. I've searched high and low to the answer here and nothing is working. I've tried download mode, fastboot, recovery, reset, holding power down, plugging it in and unplugging it. I've pulled the plate off of the battery, tried LGNPST, drivers, etc. No go on anything.
The phone is still dead, and will not turn on. The best I've gotten is a solid red light after holding the power button for 15-20 seconds. Then after about 3-5 seconds it resumes flashing (alternating between the red light and the key buttons). If I continue holding the power button down it will repeat this, showing solid red and then reverting to flashing.
I can not get the screen to display anything, not even the charging animation, and none of my computers will even recognize the device. I've been messing with it all day and I'm stuck. If anyone can help me, at all, please do. I hate going to Sprint. Anything but that, please.

Hello to everyone in this Awesome forum, long time lurker here, first time poster. I have a vast experience flashing Roms on a plethora of devices From My Huawei Ascend/Htc Amaze and plenty more but today my Lack of knowledge has finally caught up and I flashed CM10.1 on my HTC One(M7) and it was working fine but until earlier today when my screen went off and it wont come back on... I called my phone and the call goes thru you can see the soft keys turn on but the screen stays off, now when I long press the power/IR button the soft keys flash many times but the phone doesn't Reboot it just keeps flashing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. and yes to the trolls out there I have been looking on the forum for around 3 hours and all I can find is HTC One X post... Thanks For the HElp
You need to hold down the power button for 10 secs and it should reboot. If not you can try to boot into recovery using adb on your computer.
If you still can't see your screen then try using this app called [email protected] on your pc to try and mirror your phone.

Thanks for the suggestions, ill post back if any of them work.
(Update) it seems my phone is not on adb debug so it wont work with the latter and when it comes to the power hold I've been holding for longer than a min and nothing happens... thanks tho
I had this same exact problem last night, I just plugged back into the charger(the one connected to the wall outlet) and the screen came back on and it asked for my SIM card lock passcode, after that then it rebooted itself, and has been working fine since.
Hope this helps

hi all,
i had same problem, it happened second time, after i finish phone call, screen can not turn on while phone is on, volume keys react, and there is sound from incoming call.
tried to reboot, tried to to enter to recovery mode, every time two led buttons at the bottom were on or blinking.
first time when it happened reboot (hold power button for 10 sec) helped, and second time nothing could help, after about hour it started to work again.
very strange, i changed version and waiting for results.
This is most likely an issue with the light sensor at the top left of the front of the phone..
I've noticed similar symptoms during calls.. but if you are near a bright light the screen will become visible.
Additionally.. i recently had an issue where the phone shut off and wouldnt turn back on.. i held a bright light to the light sensor and then held the power down along with Volume -/+ buttons and the issue resolved itself..
the light sensor...
I had the same problems with the screen... first it was happen randomly from time to time. Plug it to charging and blank screen. Not responding to hard buttons. And come up from alone. All this happen few times until today... Does not matter what you do, the screen remain black and dead. Start thinking for replacement of the screen(which is very costly and seems that need to be done by htc=$200).
The case: the light sensor working in kind of revers mode. Means when there is light screen is still shot off(the chip did not get the proper signal and "think" it is still dark) so the screen is out of power and all the hard button and soft as well are out of any function. Pressing the power button ends up flashing soft home and revers on the screen, same as described in the first post.
THE SOLUTION: take a led flash light(i used another phone flash light) and light the sensor in the upper left corner of the phone. If this is the problem the screen will immediately come on. Then press the power button and restart the phone to reset the logic signal to the chip and to have proper reading. NOTE: it is kind of hard to operate the phone and light at the same time the sensor with the flash light. If needed get some help but you need sensor covered with light until restart the phone, otherwise the screen will become black immediately.
GOOD LUCK,
My One max's power button isnt working and my phone died. is there anyway to get it to turn on? I had the bootloader unlocked, cyanogenmod 13 and root.
Backstory: A while back, my volume keys were acting up and my phone would constantly go to low volume like if i was pressing and holding down the volume down button. Next thing you know, the power button isnt responsive and I cant wake my phone. The only way to get it to wake up was by getting a phone call. Sure enough I failed to keep my phone's battery charged and the phone died. I charged it and the battery is at 100% but i cant seem to turn it on. any ideas? thanks, I truely appreciate it. I know im going to have to get a replacement flex cable, but I dont want to wait for shipping to get it turned back on.
From one Moe to another...
My One max has behaved exactly like you described this summer and the last summer. Happens every time I answer a phone call with sweat going down my ears, it gets downright humid here! Usually fixes itself after a few minutes in front of a fan in an airconditioned room. By the end of last summer, I had to get the button strip replaced. Hope I am more careful this summer in order to keep it all in order this time around.
Last summer when I realized the power button was on its way out, I used Sense Toolbox (an Xposed mod) to set my device to wake from volume buttons. Of course that doesn't help if the phone dies from low battery like in your case.
(Edit: I also have a custom setting, I think also applied by Sense Toolbox, that wakes the screen when plugging in the charge cable. But this, too, only works when the device is fully booted and running.)
Maybe someone else can help with an obscure key combination. I dunno, maybe something like holding down the volume down button while plugging the charge cable in?!? Cuz my device (s-off, rooted, twrp, lollipop stock) starts charging in power down state, and I can see the splashscreen transition into the TWRP screen briefly flashing several times as it eventually gets into the charging screen (big green battery with percentage on the screen).
Cheers from Pakistan and Eid Mubarak!
