HTC Vivid won't turn on

Last night I was talking on the phone and playing a game while charging my phone. My randomly shut down and wouldn't respond to anything. I took everything and noticed that the phone was very hot. When i put everything back in and pluggged it up again the orange light came on for a 3-5 seconds and went off and the phone would do nothing except vibrate when you press the home,menu,back,and search keys. So i redid everything again it the light would start flashing but nothing popped up on the screen. I left the battery and everything out over night and tried again this morning and nothing still. Someone please help, I have had the phone less then 3 months. Can anyone help?

1.Check the device's battery level for at least two bars of strength.
2.If the battery level is low, charge the battery.
3.If the issue is not resolved, remove the back cover.
4.Remove the battery.
5.Wait 10 seconds.
6.Press and hold the W key.
7.While pressing down the W key, re-insert the battery.
•The device restarts and after approximately 15 seconds, the 'Recovery' screen appears
•Release the power button but *continue holding the home button*, for another 30 seconds.
Step
Thanks

SOURCE: HTC Touch Pro totally dead?!?!

Dear Muppets.

Does no one of you realize that when a phone or some other electrical equipment has serious malfunctions it is often more then just hard reset or softreset.

I have an HTC touch until one day I am sure I dropped it on the floor

Then woowwwww all of a sudden it started acting up.
Be honest.

These are very delicate phones and not bricks.
They are not as simple or reliable as a basic phone due to the fact that they have complicated systems like Windows.

Aynone ever heard of Windows crashing a PC.
Woowww you sound surprised.

I cna easily make a lot of money making somthing that looks fancy but that works like ****.

Think of some ideas.
Windows, HTC phones or similar. Any modern equipment made in China

This dont understand why a phone whic cost tihs much money can't bemade reliable.

Well come to think of it
Selling 1 million+ of them at a few hundred dollars each gives me an idea.

PROFIT ABOVE QUALITY.

And still you fools fall for it.

Yes the phones looks cool.

Any idea why DELL have been so big for so long.
They produce PC's and laptops that still work reliably after 5 years.

I am typing this on a Dell 8600 my business work horse
I use it for webdesign, VB programming, hardware testing

And trow it in my back everyday and in the boot of my car when I don't need it.

And it has never yes NEVER given me idea trouble.

I have tried a few other laptops
FUJITSU SIEMENS TABLE PC
Worked for 3 months then turned off and never came back on
guess what happend to it
It sold it for parts for 100 Euro

Also tried a brand new ACER.
Send it back to supplier as it kept turning of while doing remote access work.

If it aint broke dont fix it.
If it is .................. BIN

Look at hte amount of hours and time you have already spend on trying to figure out why your phone does not come on or work properly.

You would have had a lot more fun with your new Nokia by now

I personally would recommend LG Touch phones.
I now a 19 year old who had it and he threw it all over te place.
NEVER a problem with it and working like new.

Well if you know that LG are working with PHILIPS then you know why they are so reliable.

QUALITY above PROFIT.

and then still plenty of profit to make good money doohh

SOURCE: HTC touch HD is completley frozen

If you have all your items saved to your computer with Active Sync, then do a master reset:
HTC Touch hard reset 14 January 2008

  • Power on.
  • Press and hold buttons marked 1.
  • Press and release 2 with stylus.
  • Release buttons marked 1 when menu comes up.
  • Press directly down on center dpad, marked 3.
You can also get tips & tricks from www.htcwiki.com
It has the latest and great updates, software, even known issues if you ever come across this. HTC does recommend that you do a master/hard reset once a quarter to keep it moving smoothly. Also, ensure you don't have a lot of open running programs. Perhaps once a day, clean the cashe and history. Do a soft reset (aka battery pull) once or twice a week. All depends on how hard you play with this lovely PDA device!

On my htc vivid phone the keyboard won't come up..

Although you already reset you're phone I would like to post a solution for others to see. For anyone having this problem just go to settings>applications and tap the "All" tab. Scroll down to where it says "Touch Input" and tap that. Then hit "Clear dataand FORCE STOP." That should fix the problem

I put my Droid Razr on charger but battery symbol comes on with ? mark. Won't charge or turn on.

1. Turn off your phone when it's not in use. If you're not using your Verizon Wireless Razr, then shut it off. Your battery will last much longer if you regularly do this.
2. Charge your phone less. If you charge your Razr nightly, then your cell phone battery won't last long. Try to charge your phone only a few times a week to extend the battery life.
3. Keep your Bluetooth turned off when you're not using it. Applications, like Bluetooth, are notorious for sucking the power from a cell phone battery.
4. Protect your Razr from extreme temperatures. Your cell phone battery lasts longer if kept at room temperature.
5. Discharge the Razr fully. Before you charge your phone, let it completely die. You can extend the life of the battery by regularly discharging and then fully charging it.
6. Leave the battery in the phone. Keep the Razr battery dry and free of dirt to prolong its life.

Well,you should take the battery out. Charge it completely and then turn it on. If it keeps happening try getting a new battery or go to your carriers store.

My g1 randomly shuts off...its charged..but won't

All you have to do is change the battery,in this case,battery don't have enough performance to save power and can not distribute current on the phone that's why it direct rely on the charger,when you see your battery is already deform its shape,expect low performance on your phone as well as easily got low battery level.
