I recently started having an issue with my focus when I remove it from charging. The tone that is heard when you plug it in, or unplug it....it won't shut up!
I unplug it and it makes the sound, then it will contine at random. The battery icon flashes on and off showing the phone plugged in or unplugged. If I hit the power button, it just comes right back on as if I just plugged it in again. The wifi option even keeps popping up saying it's found networks.
I've tried restarting, removing the battery and even at the advice of windowsphonesupport on twitter, I have reset the phone.
I'm not sure what's causing it as it happens mostly when I unplug it from wall power. If I have it plugged into USB PC power, it takes forever to charge and doesn't seem to make as much noise.
It doesn't seem to last all day though. For example, I unplugged this morning about 7 am and it continued for about an hour or so before it just stopped.
Last I spoke to MS's twitter team, they said to take the phone back and get a replacement. Anyone else had this problem?
I just had a similar issue this morning. The sound that you hear when you plug in the device kept playing over and over. It would stop when I plugged it back in to the charger, but would start right up again when I unplugged it. I also tried plugging it in to my computer and the computer didn't recognize the device.
I power cycled the phone and removed the battery many times and eventually the problem disappeared and the computer can now recognize the device. Hopefully this doesn't come up again. It would be a pain to reconfigure a new device again and lose my text messages.
Update:
It started doing it again this morning. I let it continue and it stopped after 15 minutes. Every time the sound went of my battery indicator would switch from charging to full battery even though the device wasn't connected to anything.

Hi guys, my HD2's battery hasn't been impressive since I first purchased it, especially after using Android on it, but it seems everyone else's complaining about it so maybe it was just the inherent problem with the phone.
Then comes tonight, I didn't have a chance to charge the battery and it turned itself off. But when I got home and had the charger plugged in, NOTHING HAPPEND, not even the LED light. Nothing happened when I tried to hold the Turn On button, then try holding the Volume up button and the start button to do a hard reset but no luck, NO response at all! I kept it plugged in still nothing happened, though the bottom part of the phone at the back turned warm, otherwise, it's like DEAD....
I think the only cause of it is the battery dies. (I didn't drop the phone prior to the problem.) Any suggestions? Would T-Mobile(U.S.A.) cover a replacement, I had the phone less than 1 year? HELP PLZ guys!
take battery out, plug usb in (wall charger, not pc), and only then reinsert battery.
this prevents the phone trying to turn on when you plug into the wall.
don't be surprised the light doesn't come on.
leave for a few hours.
My focus was working fine for the last 2 weeks. Last night I plugged it in, and went to bed.
This morning I woke up to a blank screen with a battery logo on it. When I pressed power button the phone didn't go on.
I changed charges, chords, etc. After a number of presses I got it turned on. Now when I hold down the power button it says goodbye but then instantly reboots instead of staying off.
Before I hard reset, anyone run into this?
Seems that the phone will always turn on when plugged in.

I second this. I can't remember if it is "officially" stated anywhere; but no one has said they turn off when plugged in.
I see the same issues. It will not stay off when charging.
It also seems to refuse to charge sometimes. I have mixed results, I have unplugged, removed battery, re-inserted battery and re-plugged, it restarted. I went to diagnostics, dialed *#2*#, this brings up the battery info, it takes a really long time to see if it is taking a charge. I think I see better results on the AC adapter instead of the PC USB port.
It charges MUCH faster on the wall charger. USB is so slow and so flaky they really shouldn't even claim it charges off the USB. USB is really for syncing and nothing else. Windows phones have always been that way as far back as I can remember.
Ok so, last night my phone was dying. I didn't charge it until about 5 PM today. However when I plugged it in, it wasn't picking up charge. I took off the battery and it looked like there was water under it, not a lot (no I haven't gotten my phone wet... or near water at all) so I wiped it off and plugged in a spare battery that I have. When I plugged that in, the camera flash turned on briefly and the phone began to blink orange. I left it plugged in for about 20 minutes then I tried turning it back on and nothing. Now when I unplugged it again I tried doing other thigns like turning it on without a battery while it's plugged in, doing it through usb (which when I plug it in through usb the PC makes that USB sound) and for a brief second I tried turning it on, and it DID show the "MyTouch 4G" logo, then it shut off. It hasn't been picking up charge right and I can't get it to turn on... What can I do? I got this off of craiglist and it was working fine for almost a month, so there's no warranty. Any suggestions?
Also, whenever I put in the "good" battery, the phone vibrates and the flash turns on. What do you guys think could be done??
And when I plug it in through USB it looks like it's "charging" (as in the light at the top is orange) and the buttosn turn on if I mess with them, but no image on the screen. Frustrating.
My phone just went dead yesterday, while playing tiny tower. Suddenly turned off, and would not turn back on. When I connect the charger, the led in in the speaker blinks. When the charger is not connected, the phone is completely dead. And it does not respond to anything either way. I don't know if this is rom related. Probably not? I'm thinking returning it to the shop, and hoping for the best is my only option, unless someone here has a better idea.
Update: I tried turning it on, connected to the charger, but without the battery in. It starts. So I guess the battery died? Suddenly and completely?
What happens if you turn it on without battery in and then insert battery?
Mine did a similar odd thing when I first wiped battery stats. Was playing angry birds to drain battery right down and it turned off, but would not start. LED just blinked when power was in. I just had to plug it in and unplug it a bunch of times and it finally started charging.
I did wipe battery stats last week, but have been through a few drain/recharge cycles since then. When I start with the charger connected and insert battery it gets past the boot animation and then shuts off. I tried with a different battery yesterday, and it worked fine. When you say plug it in and unplug, do you mean connecting and disconnecting charger, just repeatedly?
yeah, was just plugging and unplugging a lot and it finally worked. If another battery worked then that would seem to be the fix.
Will try that. Thanks!
Managed to get it to start by putting the battery in after starting with just the charger first. Had to try a bunch of times before it worked. Been charging now for 5 hours, but it never gets past 10% charge on the battery? Do I just let it keep charging or is there some other way to fix it?
That happened to me in the day I bought my phone. It only started with the charger plugged in (and with no battery).
I thought the problem was in the battery, but in the store they tried with a new battery and the phone did not connect. So they replaced and everything is fine (since September).
Hi Guys, so I flashed Resurrection Remix and it was working fine. Few days later, I woke up to my phone continuously vibrating. Upon checking I saw that it was vibrating because it was doing a boot loop. Unfortunately my PC was broken at the time too, tough week.
Anyway, I let it do it's thing until it runs out of power. It never did. Seriously I waited for a day. When I slept, it had 20% battery (not charging). So I thought maybe, the power button is acting up again which has happened many many times before.
So I opened up my phone and adjusted the power button. Even, holding the volume up while plugging in didnt work anymore.
While I was there I saw the battery connector thingy, I unplugged it and re plugged it real quick without breaking anything. And It restarted and the device worked fine.
But.... The battery icon is steadily at 50% for a min then drops to 0% even while connected to charger. So, I charged it for a few minutes but it doesn't move.
I was about to do a factory reset but it shut down. The battery icon doesn't appear, only the red blinking led light. I tried charging it like that overnight to no avail.
I then tried to remove the battery connector again and as soon as I plug it, the screen turns on then off again. Sometimes it gets to the battery charging icon before it shuts down. If I bend the connector downwards it sometimes turns the screen on and sometimes doesnt.
I took it to repair shops and they said that the problem is the battery and ofc to no suprise, they dont have a replacement.
Do you guys have any idea what happened? Was it a button issue, software issue or indeed battery issue. Before all this happened, the device was working perfectly.
Please help. I miss my phone already.
I think it due socket of battery, can you open the back cover and plugout and plugin this socket, will be OK
