[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] maikel049:
Good morning all, :laugh:

I have this weird problem with my HTC touch pro 2...

A couple of years ago i bought 2 of these phones and i actually never used them until 2 weeks ago. (so brand new)

This, because i decided to flash them with android NAND ROM's which seemd to be working fine up until one point where i got this issue.

Some background info about the phone:

Both of them are HardSPL unlocked, have WinMo removed and instead have Anrdoid 2.3.7. installed. (which is working fine btw)

At first both of the phones seem to run fine and both of them where able to charge.

After a week of using the phones one of the phones stopped charging. (i tested some VOIP app from Aastra)

When the phone was powered on and the charger was plugged in, the Amber LED was lid but the battery was still draining... altho in the Android menu it stated "AC - adapter, Charging".

Because the charger i use is the original HTC charger which is brand new and so is the USB cable my first thought was.. well the battery could be defective since it has been in the box for some years..

At this point i changed the battery from one phone to the other to see if it would charge, but no luck :( still the same issue.

Then i replaced the AC adapter and USB cable with the ones from the other TP2, since that phone was charging fine...

Also no luck, the TP2 was still showing a Amber LED but did not charge at all.

After this i tried plugging in de USB cable in my PC to see if the PC would charge it, but as i expected, again no luck.

Then is switched off the phone and plugged in the AC adapter, the LED goes to Amber which indicates charging.

But now the weird thing, when i unplug the cable the LED remains amber !

And then the even MORE weird thing.... when i at this point remove the battery, wait 30 seconds and re-insert the battery the LED becomes amber right away !!

And when i trie to turn on the phone it does nothing, there is no respons at all to pressing the power button...

Just that amber LED....

Then i tried removing the SD-card and SIM, left the battery out for over an hour and tried to re insert the battery, but still the amber light goes on The AC-Adapter is not plugged in at this point !

At this point i was not sure anymore what to do, so i disassembled the phone to look if there was some bad / loose soldering on the USB plug.

But sadly enough i could not find any bad or loose soldering points, i also was not able to find any burnt or other bad looking circutes.

Then i reassembled the phone and made one last attempt to re-insert the battery, then the LED did not start to illuminate !

So for a verry short period of time i had good hopes that it was oke now... but then i plugged in the AC-adapter, the LED was amber again..

But the phone again will not turn on, and when i remove the battery and re-insert it it still shows the amber LED without the AC-adapter plugged in...

Right now i am at the point where i am not sure what to do anymore.

I was wondering if any of my fellow XDA visitors have experience with such an issue, or maybe even know a fix for this.. :confused:

Some ideas to test or how to fix this are verry welcome ! :good:
