Ummm Worried... phone wont turn on...

[DjNawo]

I was running Fresh 2.0d for about 2 days and everything was working fine.

I was in the middle of testing if bambuser stream app was any good and it just...kind of died.

The battery was at 0% basically but I had it plugged in to the comp. The phone's charge light it turning on but the phone wont power on...

Help?

Don't panic. It is just "shot" as I call it. Needs time to charge and cool down. I would recommend plugging it into a wall charger is possiable. Pull the battery out first though and pop it back in. Then put it on the charger for 15 mins. I promise it will come right back on (I have this problem when tethering for days on end LOL)

Yeah I was hoping I'd get a response like this... cause the charge is functioning... its just not turning on

But yeah it WAS at 0% so its kind of stupid to make a topic like this.

HAHA Well I understand the worries. When this 1st happened to me, My heart sank and I died inside xD. I could have swore that my company busted me tethering or something and turned off my phone LOL I didn't know.

Can't live without tethering

There's actually a warning from HTC out there somewhere that says if your battery is below 15% then you shouldn't try charging via USB. But yea as others said I would get it plugged in to a while and be patient. It'll come back to life.

Lol, this just happened to me today too, was testing out the new aloewishus rom, and while booting it went blank, then just... stayed blank. Took batery out, put back in, it'd vibrate then... blank.. Luckily i had a back up, fully charged batery, popped it in and viola! works again, I was super freaked out for a minute.

Interesting...
*takes out of comp and puts in wall*

Yeah I'll charge and check it out in the morning. Gotta get up in 5 hours...

this happens to me all the time. all you have to do is unplug the cable from the phone, push the power button and plug it back in.

Flipz is correct, and I had this happen to me before, even the car charger wouldn't help, I had to wait until I got home and plug it in the wall charger and *poof* it turned on within five minutes of charging (BTW: when it did boot back up the battery was drained 92%)

USB ports can't put out as much current as the wall charger can, so it will charge MUCH slower via USB. If you're running any power hungry apps, it's entirely possible that USB won't be able to keep up and your battery will go dead even though it's plugged in.

In fact, I've noticed on a couple of CPU intensive games even the wall charger just barely "keeps up" (meaning the battery doesn't drain, but it also doesn't gain any significant charge while I'm playing them).
