Hey...
My Mozart seems to have stopped working. The battery run out this morning when I was in university and ive just got home and plugged it in to find that the red led is flashing up the top! Its flashes for a while and HTC comes onto the screen, it then shows an image of a battery on the screen then nothing, no lights, no charging, no booting.
Help!
i see well that happened to me, you seem to have drained the battery. the best solution is..
keep it charged for a while..
if it does not work.. remove the battery for a while then bring it back and charge again,
just let it charge until the battery regains enough power to boot the phone.
never let the battery fully down /!\
the smartphone Have to be charged before the battery nearly 30% otherwise u Will deteriorate the lifetime of u'r battery
Hi, I would like to know if the problem was the battery or hardware related? I am having this same problem and Im about to go to the phone shop to get this looked at... after being on the phone to someone who speaks the worst broken english for 20 minutes!
Thanks.

I have a Prophet G4 and I had always have problems with it. I always sent it to the customer service and they fixed it, but it's way too expensive.
Well, the problem now is that it is absolutely dead! it doesn't turn on, it doesn't enter into bootload, it doesn't makes hard resets and when I plug it to charge, it doesn't turn the orange light that turns on when charging. I don't really know if it is really charging but the light doesn't turn on.
I'v tryed everything! Taking out the battery, soft reset, hard reset, bootload, and it doesn't respond to nothing! It is absolutely DEAD!
I did nothing to it internally...I did not update the ROM...I didn't touch the registry...I didn't drop it..I don't remember doing anything for it to do this to me!! :'(
Can someone help me please, this really annoys me!
Try replacing the battery... maybe it resolves the problem dunno.
Same problem for me.
I've left my XDA Neo on the table when i went to sleep, and in the morning I realised, it's not turning on, and the same problems listed above! Battery was around 50%!
Help me! :'(
You need the original charger to awake it.
Just let it plugged in for some time (at least 30min) an maybe replug 1 or 2 times.
Then the red light will appear again and you can boot.
Maybe it's about the battery~~~

I am sure it is the battery..Bay a new battery, and make sure not to run it dry..

The problem is that a HTC device needs power to switch on loading. If the battery is completely drained it doesn't work anymore. To fix it you can do the following. Take care, overloading may cause your battery to explode. So you will do this on your own risc.
Take a 5 Volt source and connect it to the + and - of the battery for arround 30 seconds. From this moment take care of the temperature of the battery. It should not get so warmer as 30 celcius. Put the battery back in the HTC and it picks up loading again.
I rescued a number of HTC devices this way.

Failing that dont try and charge it from your USB it wont work. You must as pointed out use the original charger. The above does work but like Jaddie says be carefull!
I was flashing a new rom. And after it said 100% on the phone it turned black and never lit up again. I waited i didnt pull out the usb. 15 min later i checked it again still black. i pulled the usb out. hit the power button and nothing happend. i did a hard reset and still the phone wount power on. The phone's charging led light wount even come on when i plug it up. So i assume i have bricked me phone ?
I have HSPL3
miri19v
froyostone 3.1v
is there any way to bring it back to life or do i toss it in the trash?
thanks for the help
i have also tried to go into boot loader and NIL!
from your use of the word 'trash' can i assume you have a tmous hd2? if so, what did you flash? was it a non tmous stock rom (meaning a bad radio)?
(oh, first job tho, check for bent battery pins)
the pins are fine. yeah i was actually flashing a stock tmou rom.
got the full filename for the rom you downloaded please? (just checking you havent downloaded a t mobile rom that isnt tmous)
the reason im pushing that line of enquiry is that the symptoms you describe are consistent with either
wrong radio (from the wrong stock rom)
bent battery pin
over discharged battery
to test the over discharged battery you can take it out, plug usb in with wall charger, then put battery in. this lets it charge without trying to turn on the phone. the light may not come one for some time, so leave it a good hour or two.
Hey Sam,
I'm having this issue too. I am relatively positive it's from an over-discharged battery. The phone conked out a few nights ago, and later when trying to charge it I got nothing - until yanking the battery for a bit, plugging in the charger, then popping in the battery. Now, every time the battery drains I have to do this.
Is the battery "damaged" now, or do you have any suggestions to fix the prob? I see this posted a bit but no one has any solutions that I've found.
Thanks!
Ryan
well i know the principals of these batteries, but not really the mechanics, so yes id guess the battery is defective, (but it could be the phones internal battery control circuits too, again just guessing) but no i dont know if there is a cure, other than try another battery, and if it cures it, ok, but if not then it would be a warranty issue.
are you using android? cos from what ive read it discharges quickly under android or something? (never used it so cant tell)
So I thought I'd calibrate my battery today... I completely drained it, powered it up like 10 times so it had no battery left. Then I took out the battery for one minute, inserted right back and plugged the phone to the wall charger. It has been charging for about 5 hours(I think more) and still the led hasn't turned green
When I touch the back of the phone it's warm so that means it's charging still... Is this normal when calibrating the battery or should I try starting it to check the battery condition and forget about calibrating? Thanks in advance.
edit: ok, I unplugged the charger cuz I have to go out... and the red led was still going... no wonder :/ So remove/reisnert battery, boot up android from nand. Battery 99% already I guess this calibration has pretty much failed right?
So no one knows anything about this? I tried to calibrate again last night... The red led again got stuck. What could be the cause of this? I reflashed radio recently so I don't think that's it.
Does anyone has any advice? I will try charging with power on, see if it will fully charge and if green led will turn on. And then again with power off without letting the battery be drained completely and see what happens. I hope nothing's wrong cuz I'd hate to have to return it
I also would like to know this.

Tried this aswell n the phone was on 99%. the voltage was also wrong when its 100% (4197, i beleive its ment to be around 42xx or 43xx). Tried deleting batterystat.bin from system but not sure i followed the right procedure after that (take bat out, charge, deplete, charge). a dedicated thread for this would be nice.
Did you try leaving the phone off and leaving it on charge until the LED changed to green. u may have to leave it over night. 15+ hours. Not sure if this works.
I tried it. The thing is the led wont turn green. When the phone is off and charging the led wont ever turn green and when I pull the cable out the red led doesn't turn off. It get stuck until I remove hte battery.
However when the phone is on and charging the led WILL turn green. I'm getting crazy over this. Can sb plz heeeeeelp?

You wont be able to do a calibration in NAND Android, which i'm guessing you are using, because i have the same problem.
The only way to properly charge the battery and get the green light is to wake up the device, plug the charger while the screen is on and leave it charging.
I got 50 hours +10% out of moderate use with one full charge - phone on, and i am happy. Same as WinMo ROM.
I haven't seen a solution for this one yet, but i hope someone is working on it.
oh, thanks so much for clearing this up. Yes I have nand android too. I'm not complaining about battery life, it's very good. I just did the battery calibration out of curiosity and bumped into this issue. Glad it's not hardware or battery related and I hope someone fixes it eventually.
So basically yesterday I forgot my charger at work, and my phone fully discharged... you know, that fully part where if you try to turn on you get the 3 blink red led notification.... So today morning I finally got to put it on charger, but a weird kind of stuff happened.... I plugged it in, it was a red LED blinking (I assume charging, but can't turn on due too low voltage) this went on for a minute, then it turned itself on (I got the Legacy Xperia 4.4 ROM). I could see the battery charging animation for a minute, then it turned itself off again, like it ran out of battery again. then the same thing happened from the beginning over and over again.. I even tried to put it in the CWM so it doesn't boot the charging animation thing, it still turned off after like 30 seconds...
Now I'm stuck with a dead battery phone, and I have no idea what to do.
I would appreciate any kind of help, because I can't really work without my phone now.

EDIT: So now I instantly turned off the screen so it doesn't show the animation and doesn't drain the battery, it seems to charge now, will keep editing if something happens..
EDIT2: Phone LED is now orange... which means above 15%... I think it'll be fine now....

Charge the battery with a battery charger( it costs like $1 in my country ) and then flash a rom for which you are sure that it has offline charging.. and that too working

Hello all. It's been a long time since I've been to this section of XDA, glad to see it's still got some life left.
I'm trying to get my old i777 working so a friend of mine can borrow it. If I remember correctly, it was running an AOKP rom when I stored it well over a year ago, and it was fine. Today I went to turn it on, nothing. I started charging it, let it go for a few hours. It still won't turn on; instead it's acting a bit strange. Every few seconds the screen flashes either the gray battery charging logo, an instant dim flash of the entire screen (a slight gray, nothing bright), or the home/back/etc buttons flash for an instant. When the charge logo appears, the screen brightens just before it goes off. All buttons are unresponsive, my computer does not recognize it. I've been unsuccessful in finding any real help with Google and searching XDA. The only advice I found was to plug it in without the battery, then put the battery in. This did not help. Any feedback would be appreciated - this little phone has a lot of sentimental value to me. It's been through hell and back, it survived my ex (who managed to break a Nokia 3310 and Nokia 920). If I have to put it to rest, I guess it's earned it, but I'd like to keep it going for just a while longer.
Did you store it away with the battery in the phone? If so, in a year, the battery could be completely drained and in some cases, that can cause a problem with charging, as in will not charge. Possibilities to test, use a fully charged battery by charging the existing battery with an external charger, or by using another battery. This would be the first thing I would try.
I am also having such a problem from time to time, when my battery is complitely drained. I am using such a device to bring the battery back to life. Always helps.
I usually plug mine into a higher powered charger like my s6 one and that gets it out of the loop.
