Hello,
My HTC DNA suddenly turned off while plugged in the charger and does not want to turn on. (I suppose it was fully charged)
When plugged into the charger, it has no signs of life the charging light does not even flash.
I have tried almost all the possible key combinations (Vol Up + Vol Down + Power, the same while being plugged in, etc...)
I have taken it apart, disconnected battery from the motherboard and left for several hours. That did not work also.
I tried to wake it up using different chargers and pc, that did not work also.
When it is plugged into the wall charger, the ac adapter warms up a bit.
What can else can I do to wake it up? I am in a desperate situation, because the only alternative at least for several months is Nokia XpressMusic with a bad screen and earspeaker. It is a big downgrade.
I have found threads with similar problems here and on other forums too, but still could not find solution.
Any idea will be VERY appreciated.
Thanks.
The issue you explain is the phone failing. It is an issue with the main board. The only solution is sending it to HTC for a board swap which was $180 last I checked for this device.

I brought it used and can't repair it under warranty. For $180 I can buy better phone, but I have no money at the moment.
Is not the motherboard repairable?
If we assume, that hardware of the phone is okey, what possible fixes of the issue are avialable?
Thanks.

Only other solution is jtag. It is a special module some skilled people have to force responses from phones. It is a long shot, but it might work.

Okey guys, I have a big update.
I have left my phone in a battery disconnected state for about 24 hours and it finally turned on. Then it had audio problems (squeezing noise only in speakers, sound in headphones was fine), after trying to make a call, it shut off itself again.
I have disconnected the battery again, flashed new rom and the problem with audio remains. In the beginning it had problems with charging, but after several minutes in the wall plug it began to charge.
By the way, I have lost the black tape, what was between the motherboard and case. I think, that the phone won't have problems without it. What do you think?

your problem is probabbly died tfa 9887 sound chip. you can take it from htc m7 and other motherboards.

Ok I'm really bitter right now. My wife and I each have an S2. Mine has been fine for the last 2 months and hers recently starting having problems. It keeps thinking that a USB cable is plugged in.
A Google search reveals that this is indeed a common hardware problem.
When you do a restart, you get the battery icon and flashing yellow triangle with the thermometer symbol. And the only way to get it to boot up is to plug it in.
The device functions fine other than that, but other than connecting to Kies via USB, there is no other USB related functions that is working.
Gonna give Samsung support a call and see how I can warranty this. Hoping it's not going to be a painful process.
Anyone else having the same problem? How did you resolve it? New replacement? Did they repair? How long did it take? What did you do?
Thanks.
I have the same problem, started with me recently, I had my phone with USB debugging mode on.
Can't confirm when it started for sure, but it may have been because I disconnected it from my computer once, before ejecting the device through windows explorer.
In any case, I can't turn on the phone now without removing the battery or having it plugged in.
I received the battery at 100% notification and it doesn't leave when I unplug the device.
It's become very flaky, and I don't like it. Did you have any luck with Samsung support?
Anyone have any information on this or another link to how to fix this? I'm getting the temperature gauge and can't figure out how to fix it!!

Brother had the same problem. Try adjusting the piece in the USB port of the phone either up or down. I used a small flat head screwdriver. Make sure the phone is off and battery out.
I'm not responsible for any further damage to the phone.

To get around it boot into recovery then choose restart phone. (hold power + volume up + home button)

Yeah - get a replacement.
I had similar issues with mine. Took it to Carphone warehouse in uk. And they replaced usb port within 30 mins. Its a common fault.
Try to clean USB port.
This morning I just noticed this problem with my phone and I also noticed that under the battery stats it shows that the phone is always charging.
If I reboot the phone sometimes I lose about 20% from the battery, but then it starts to recharge although the phone is not plugged in.
I will try to change the battery with a friend of mine, maybe it's battery related, I will report back.
I suppose that the problem of discharging is:
A) when connected it can't enter in deep sleep mode
B) vbus_present eating battery

Hi,
i immediately flashed my Flyer to Honeycomb after i received it and worked with the first HC leak from Paul so far. Now i updated to the newest leak (with downgrading from GB first) and i still have a problem i got from the beginning.
Unfortunately i don't know if it occured in GB too, because GB was only a couple of minutes on the flyer.. ;-)
What is the problem?
I charge the turned on Flyer over night and after disconnecting the charging icon is still shown. Turning the device of and on (Fastboot) doesn't help but completely rebooting does.
When i don't reboot i need to wait a long time until i get a message that there is more battery capacity consumed than could be charged and now i can connect the cable again, disconnect it and the charing icon disables.
Am i the only one with this issue?
I am a little afraid that this is a hardware error!?
Regards
Daniel
Noone?
Okay, who owns a Flyer, runs a HC leak and has no problems about that?
Do you charge like i do (over night, charging while turned on, plug out while turned on)?
I have us best buy flyer. Running leaked hc. I do not have this issue and charge my flyer over night while turned on. Not sure what could be causing your issue
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
This is really annoying! I just connected the flyer to my pc to copy same data and after disconnecting the charger icon still remains. wtf!?
So if noone has this issue, what could be the cause?
This happens to me occasionally. Just a simple reboot usually fixes the issue.
@geebee1932: occasionally? About how often in let's say 10 charging processes?
This time a reboot did not work. I then connected and disconnected the charger and it did not word too. Only a reboot and disconnect while rebooting helped to get rid of the charging icon.
Really strange and as so many people don't have this problem i assume it must be a hardware defect!?
What about warranty of the usb port when you unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.com?
I find that if the icon is still there and I select one of the 4 options it automatically kills the icon, loads the sd card, and everything is normal. If not then I'll restart.
Sorry? What 4 options do you mean?

Got it... Okay i will try it the next time.
It occured again.
These 4 options only appear when connecting to the pc right?
As i charge with the normal ac cable i cant use this hint. Or do i misunderstand you?
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using XDA App
Yes, only when connected to the PC.
Another trick I do is look at the power button, if it stays orange even after disconnecting the cable wait a few seconds then press the power button, press it to turn on the screen, and it should go away. This is more to get the SD card loaded, but will also kill the icon.
Other thing to note is that when you disconnect the usb cable at the PC, but leave the other side of the usb connected to the Flyer it will still think the usb is plugged into something. Once I disconnect it at the Flyer it will load my SD card and end the usb icon. As you can tell I have SD card loading issues more than the usb icon.
As I said though, restart should be worst case if it doesn't go away which hasn't happened to me yet.
I sent it to htc for warranty repair now.
Unfortunately it got lost while shipping. Hope i get my money back from the insurance...
Hello,
Before i went to sleep i flashed franco's kernel v15 (yes, i'm using ICS lol) but didn't test anything
I always sleep with a glass of water near my bed, you may know now what happened lol. While i was sleeping I accidentally hit the glass of water and barely wet my phone, it was like:

As you can perfectly see at the image above, just thin water film wet the phone, i removed the battery and I waited until perfectly dry. Inserted the battery again and everything was working very well... until the devil night comes >.>
I connected the charger and nothing happened. Tried to connect on PC... again, nothing happened. And now it doesn't charge the battery / pc does not recognize the phone (doesn't show on devices list).
UNLESS
I have a universal charger (the one u put the battery on and it charges up) and it charges the battery, and if I put the battery back on the phone, the phone charges the battery again o.0, and if i disconnect and connect the cable it stop charging O______O
Can someone help me?
I know that I should lead to technical assistance, but takes too much time to fix phones in brazil, maybe a simple battery replacement could fix (if had battery is shorted)
PS: I first though the kernel was the problem and not the fact that I almost washed my phone roflmao
If the battery charges well on an external charger, to me, it means it's not a battery issue but maybe a connector issue on the phone.
You didn't use a hair dryer to dry your phone, did you? lol
The first step would be to try with another battery to check if it works.
Have you tried to factory reset your phone just in case (although I doubt it would do anything but....)
Yes, flashed another kernel, another rom (from ics to JB). Cleaned STweaks settings and init.d folder.
I didn't use the hair dryer lol
Check the input of the charger it must be sulfured (i think its something like that) my phone had something kind of wet but the input was full of sulfur and just needed to be cleaned

What did you use to clean?
PS: There's no oxidation products at first sight
It's now charging everytime I connect the plug, but still can't transfer items from PC->S3
It could be oxidation on the internal usb connector. The charger lines are probably clean enough to charge, but the data lines are still oxidized, therefore no detection on PC. If you're careful enough, you could clean the contacts with a very small needle or a pin. Just brushing with the tip over the contacts.
Or try connecting the usb cable many times, that might brush off the contacts... like in, out, in, out... ( no need for jokes )
I would take the battery out and submerge the phone without its battery cover in rice for a few days, that should suck all the moisture out of it.

Hi guys, I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300, there's like a couple of days where it does not charge, or barely does, sometimes it charges about 5% in 1 or 2 hours and sometimes it does not takes charge at all..I've been looking at the internet that this problem is not so unique with this model, but I don't know what to do to get it back working properly, it was working fine when I just got it, I have it since about 1 month maybe, I read that a factory reset could fix it, or even this:
First take the battery out of the phone for about 10 seconds. Then with the battery out plug the phone up, wait a few seconds, and put the battery in and immediately press power. Should be as good as new.
But I don't know, could you please give some alternatives to try? thanks a lot!

Are you using the original charger? Using other chargers with less output will stop it charging properly

EDIT: I rebooted the phone and seems like it's charging, but too slow in my opinion...
I had this problem last week. I coudnt figure out what the problem is but I took the battery out and put it back in after 10 secs. Fixed.

Well, I did what you said and it's working...it's pretty weird isn't? and looking on the web, this happens a lot with the phone :S thanks! I hope it keeps working!
Problem is still there...when I first purchased this phone did not have this problem...I'm not sure but I guess it started after updating to JellyBean, has anyone suffered something similar after updating? thanks!

Hi folks,
My S2 wont turn on. Not when connected to a charger or via USB to my puter. It occasionally heats up whilst connected to charger/computer near the camera.
I had this same problem about 4 weeks earlier. Tried all sorts of stuff after reading around on the forums here : Remove battery. Let it discharge completely(for a day). Soft Reset. Hard Reset. Hit Power+vol up+menu button while inserting battery at the same time. No avail.
But after a couple of days of desperation, opened up odin3 v1.85. Connected the phone to computer via usb. Put the computer on sleep mode. Checked again after bout an hour or so. The phone had heated up near the camera. Removed the USB plug and hit power button. VOILA!!!! it started!!!! Another thing i must mention is that in ODIN. The ID:COM box (6 boxes) had turned yellow showing Port 1, 3, 5, 7, 6, 4 in random order. and in the Message Box it showed Port 1 : connected. Upto 7.
Phone was working fine for upto 4 weeks after that. Started acting funny again. Got random freezes. Then a couple of times the box saying : Unfortunately your gapps has stopped working, turned up. Couldnt get into play store. Powered off the phone to try to get into the recovery mode.
Again the same problem which I had faced 4 weeks earlier.
Been trying for about a week now. All the same methods tried earlier
Tried the method which worked earlier. with ODIN on, phone connected via USB charger. ID:COM box turns yellow(6 boxes) Phone heats up near battery. But it wont power on again like it had the last time.
Stock JB firmware present on phone
Would be a great help if anyone knew what the hell is going on with my phone. Help / Suggestions anyone ?!
Service centre - motherboard replacement, or source a 2nd hand board from a 'donor' phone somewhere & either swap it out yourself or pay a local mobile repair shop to do it.

Thanks! But dont want to give up just yet on it. Also the Service Centre guys in my city are nothing else but a bunch of thieves.
Have taken it to a service centre and shown it already, the options offered to me was they would force a software re-install, check the battery and also something about keeping the board immersed in some liquid for a day(was told that it 70% of the phones start up after that).
Just dreading the motherboard replacement, apart from wanting to spend on it.
Am attaching a screen shot of ODIN after I plug in the phone and leave it for bout an hour with the computer in sleep mode.
Tried it again but just wont turn on.
