Default Charging Loop?!?! Need Help

Hello! I wasn't able to find anything on this so I'm wondering if my phone is defective...

My phone is stuck in a loop...

1.I plug the phone in it will charge for 5 minutes then try to start up
2.The charging will stop during the boot up (on it own)
3.I imagine there's not enough battery power so the phone will shut off

And this will go on in a continuous loop. Also I can't stop it from booting up so that makes it worse...

I just bought the phone and let the battery drain down the for the first time and it started looping this way. Very odd. I have 2 other HTCs (8925 and 8525) and never had this problem...

So I'm wondering is it

1. The Software (config)
2. The Battery
3. The phone

I've searched the internet and it seems like I'm the only one having this problem...

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hmmmmmm sounds like a bad phone, I'd return it to your carrier if possible

i had a simular situation w/ my mda...i was on vacation, and when the battery drained, it wouldnt take a charge...the problem was that i was using my girlfriends motorola charger which wasnt strong enough charge a completly drained mda battery...

just ensure you are using the charger that came w/ the phone, as many figure (as did i) that one mini-usb charger is as good as another...

hope that helps...

Having the same issue, my Pro2 charges for couple of minutes than reboots and also the battery won't take a full charge so can Hard Reset .

Anyone else resolved this issue

Try booting your phone without the battery, so it doesn't need to charge
