I charged up my new G1 phone for a good hour after I got it. It won't turn on nor did I see any LED light indicator that it is charging.
Anyone else have the same issue or am I just the "lucky" guy?

ok - to quell the smart asses.
yes, sim car is in.
yes, battery is in.
c'mon - i can't be the ONLY lucky guy out here with a defective one.
Not being a smarta*$ but you are holding the end key down to turn on right?
It could be the adapter is bad, try a USB cable to ur comp to check. If there is still no charging light, I'd exchange it.

There's your problem. the phone isn't meant to have a car installed in it.
What do you think it is, a garage??

All I can say is.... wow.
Back to the issue... any miniUSB charger should do... when I first got mine the battery had enough charge to run non-stop for 3hrs so I think your battery or phone is bad but do not fear... there is a reason T-Mobile has won all those customer service awards
ok ok ok - i meant SIM CARD.
went back to the t-mobile store, returned it, they said this was the second one that they saw with this issue. turns out it's not a battery issue, it's an issue with the phone.
i got a new one and it works fine so i'm happy.
good luck to everyone on theirs.

I've recently found that my micro usb cable comes out really easily and stops the phone being charged if it's at all knocked. As it is it only appears to go in about half way. Anyone else had this problem?
I would seriously talk to your doctor about that. It doesn't sound good.

Try a different micro usb cable (a good quality one as some. Cheapo ones can be a loose fit) , with any luck its the cable thats knackered not your phone.

lol.. At least somebody understood what I was getting at.
holy cow!! I think I just bricked my phone... I hope someone can help me.
Here's the situation. I was on the latest MIUI 1.6.17 demonSPEED v.1.2. Everything was awesome! Then today I went to my dentist and there was a sign that said that they are not in today and to call a number. I was about to call, then everything got stuck. I needed to call them, so I just did a flash in front of the dentist's office with the ROM I had on my SD card.
re-flashed v1.2 with no problem and I was about to select "reboot my phone", then I was like, oh i'll re-flash Swype as well... the swype zip got stuck for like 5 minutes during the flash (and I still needed to call the dentist). So I was like, ok I'll just pull off the battery and restart the flashing procedures...
That's when I put the battery back and the phone won't even boot up now. I'm now home (didn't even get to call my dentist yet after all that), and plugged in the charger and it won't even charge now (orange LED not turning on)... Can't even boot it in recovery. Phone is unresponsive to any buttons...
Does anyone know of any other way to even turn the phone on?
Geez, that was the Noobiest mistake ever!! All that because I had to make a call... WOw, I'm speechless thinking of my stupidity! I hope someone can help...
Thanks in advance guys!
Quite honestly dude i dont think you have much to hope for except to call tmo and tell them its broken. If its truly bricked even they cant confirm it since they cant turn it on. Only thing i think you could try is pluging it into your pc and trying to see if the pc recognizes it and lets you run adb commands or something similar. Hope this helps.

I doubt you'll have problems. Everyone I've ever heard of sending in the truly bricked phone has gotten it replaced for free but that's my experience. Most don't have a second thought about it because they know there's nothing t mo can do.

yup, the thing is that I'm not a T-Mobile customer anymore. I wonder how I'm even gonna get in contact with them to get a replacement. I remember from being their customer, that the first thing they ask you is your phone number with them. If you didn't have one, they just said they can't help you... Does that sound about right?

Send it back to HTC. It sounds like you got hardware issues not software. I don't think you even bricked your device.

yeah man, that was the analysis of the customer service rep that was helping me. He thinks that the battery somehow is knocked out... That's why he's shipped out a battery. Just waiting for that to confirm that it's the battery or something else! If that doesn't solve it, I'll have to send it back to HTC for repairs. Probably won't be able to get a replacement with T-Mobile since I cancelled my account with them like 4 months ago already... but thanks for the input!
keep us posted eh.

took quite some time, but i should be receiving my repaired phone back next tuesday... HTC said that somehow the main board was the problem, so they replaced it... hopefully for a better one! haha
My Gf plugged my old evo into her cable box and screwed it, the battery is bloated and no power now, i used SBC on it with savage-zen for a few months but it was off and running CM7 on the phone, i dont have access to another evo battery yet and before sending it to sprint i wanted a lil info.
1. What are the cances of the phone also being fryed? I'm thinking it's a high chance
2. If it is and i send it in to asurion, you think theres anyway theyll be able too see it was s-off?
Thanks guys and sorry if this is in the wrong section..

1. Hard to say. 50/50
2. Not if the phone is truly fried.
I was a tech for Verizon before I worked for Best Buy and your phone should be fine. I would see this all the time (especially on LG phones) and when you put in a new battery, the phone would work just fine. I can't promise you the same thing, but your battery is probably just shot.
Thanks guys, i'll have a battery tonight and i guess i'll see than...
I just retired my 3000 mAh battery because it was bloated, and yes I was using SBC kernels also. Im back on the OEM battery and the phone works fine.
Hi all!
this morning, after a complete battery recharge cycle I've found my device opened like a clam! don't know what happened but I guess it might be a battery defect. Anyone else had this problem?

Anyway, I've been already refunded by Amazon including shipment to USA from Italy...this is what I call customer service! I think I'm gonna leave motoactv for a Garmin 620...I will miss the music feature but I can survive with my nano in my pocket...
This is the first time in my life that I hear a problem like this on the MotoACTV. I've owned two motoACTVs and sold a bunch of them, too.
There's never been any complaint or issue with them. I guess you are just unlucky this time.
But hey, don't let a bad experience prevent you from using this amazing device. It really is the best pre-"android wear" smartwatch. :good:
Hi,
I have a problem with the headphone jack. Any headphone plug into it get ejected very easily.
Just by turning a little the plug it get pop-out.
Had the phone for 4 months now and never had this issue before.
Anyone experience this ?
Thank you

Yeah mine's currently RMA'd to fix that same problem. I don't think it's a wide spread issue but I'd setup an RMA to get it fixed quick.

I am in contact with ZTE Canada. They ask for my IMEI so I guess I will have to RMA it also.
Sucks I like the phone but one of the thing that scared me going with ZTE was reliability. :-\

Yeah like I said, I don't think it's widespread. I'm the one that caused the problem.. But I think it's very cool that they RMA'd it for free and are taking care of it. Now I don't have the device yet so we'll see what happens when it's all said and done, but at this time? I'm completely happy with the warranty on the phone that just CAME with it for free. I dig that.

That does not sound normal. I'd contact ZTE support and see if that's covered by their warranty.
Hello.
Ive got the same problem since this morning. My phone never dropped or something like that. I cannot plug some headphones. They were easily pushed out every time.
What happened to your phones ? I contacted zte germany. Lets see what they say.
