My m5000 does this too.

The easiest way to feel it is to softly stroke the metal pad on the lid with the case closed. It feels kinda nice, but is definately current.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] raymondu999:
My JasJar, IIs and my old Xda II also did this. But only those. Perhaps it's not earthed well?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Biffert:
Qtek 9000 has this too
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ZeBoxx:
You'll be surprised how many devices have this, actually. However, it shouldn't be of any concern - it's OK'd by law in most countries. Compare it, if you will, to one of those cheap halogen light desklamps ( http://www.lightwindow.com/desklamp/500/halogen/129bl.jpg ). The 12V goes straight through the telescoping metal tubing itself, and if you rub your fingers along one side while holding the other, you'll get the same sensation. That's why they often have a little warning label with them about not hanging any necklaces over them, or it will shortcircuit ( easily tested.. it just sparks a little, but I wouldn't recommend doing it ;) ). The power rating for these lamps is *much* higher than for any pocket device. So although it's not particularly proper (non-conductive tubing with some retractable wires would be better - but oh-so-much more expensive to manufacture), it's part of the design, and nothing to worry about.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Bartjan:
i had noticed it, but i didnt know what it was :o
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] anton12:
Yes, it is true. There is a mild current along the top of the Jasjar.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] raymondu999:
wow... your first post... I'm honoured
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hanmin:
No problem on my unit (Charmer). However, I've experienced this with other devices, an IBM Notebook (X series, bought 2003). It has a rubbery top (not metal), which give you a tickling feeling when you rub it with your sensitive skin (e.g. the skin under of your arm - wrist to elbow, the part where you do not get enough of sun light). I guess it is of a tolerance limit. I mean, if you try that on your VCD DVD player, I bet you will have the same problem too.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DaWolfey:
well that's certainly cleared that up.

Good to know it's not a faulty Exec.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
I think its a "signature" of all HTC devices :P

I remember playing silly pranks on my xda2, where in i'd fake an incoming call when its plugged into the charger and hand it over to my friend (victim). The look on the face is worth a million! (i'm not sadistic as you're probably thinking right now, atleast not "as much"!)

the faceplate charge leak is really cool! I keep stroking it when i'm jobless. Its i guess a feature in many ways -

1. You dont have to hunt for the charging light indicator, just stroke the plate and you'd know if ur device is charging up

2. The phone call prank - priceless weapon!

3. An excellent window for passing time, stroking harmless current gives me a high! (oh yea, i'm kidding of course!)

All in all, i like the charge leak!

PS: Just got back from an extremely long and tiring business trip, hope my post has some relavence to the topic and makes sense in any remote manner
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ady:
All of the devices which use a Switch mode power supply has it. It isn't a fault rather a design. This reason is that Switch Mode Powersupplies do not have a transformer which isolate the main 110/220 from the output.

You can also experience it if you have a computer with a metal casing (those white boxed computers)

There is however a method to minimize that shock effect. though it might not be possible with three pin adapters. Here we have two pinned adapters so just plugging it in the opposite direction make the shock go away.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hanmin:
lol.. I thought since you are writing in bold, it should be something.. good. Anyway, the only thing that I've notice that is right on your post is that, SMPower adapter does not have a transformer.

The isolation of the transformer doesn't stop the device from giving you a shock.

What do you mean by 'white boxed computers'? You mean those normal desktop, huh? I'm not sure about what's going on at your side, but we use 3 pin plugs here, and the 3rd pin is a ground line, which is the effective way of getting rid of electric shocks (e.g. it absorb the 'wild' current to ground, instead to you)

And the most funny thing is your last comment. You can make the shock away by flipping your two pin plug? What is the logic to that? There is a diode-like device in the adapter that will convert the current/voltage of your AC to DC. It doesn't matter how you connect your adapter, it will end up the same somewhere in the adapter way before it touches your device.

Anyway, surprisingly, for someone who doesn't seems to know electricity, you know what Switch Mode Power Supplies :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
Rigghhhhtt... That makes a lot of sense (not) :roll:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
Come on, maybe he meant the other other way, you know, with the pins pointing into the room rather than into the socket?

I bet that would stop the current leak!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tony2win:
I have no idea about anything electrical... but don't be too hard on ady. He was the one who decrypted bootloader 1.0 for the universal which is very useful to some of us... so he's acutally very smart! At least, he is at programming/hacking. :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nottys4:
this has been on going for 2 days now and i still cant find a way around it...

i know how to flash both different types of recovery modes and can do that without a prob, i have the latest version of super su on a usb stick and also multiple roms on a usb stick which i am capable of flashing these via an OTA cable, but every time i flash the root then flash a rom, it says its installed but when i reboot it just stays on the htc screen with the red writing along the bottom for the best part of 45 seconds then restarts straight back into recovery.

i'll happily admit i'm no expert when it comes to android, but i've had a galaxy ace, s2, s3 and s4 before moving to a htc one, i've never had issues like this before...

if someone has a skype account and is willing to have a chat with me and help me thru this issue so that i can have a working and stable phone again, otherwise i have just bought a £350 paperweight.

Many thanks in advance to all those who help me!!

Now disconnect your charger and connect it to your pc. It should say fastboot usb. Open a command prompt window, type

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

Then

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now it should show you 11111111 in place of your cid

Now download this

Then keep it in the same folder as you keep your recoveries, and open command prompt from there (shift+right click)

Type fastboot oem rebootRUU

Once your phone reboots to the black screen, type

fastboot flash zip "name of file you downloaded".zip

It'll fail the 1st time, just type the command again, and it'll succeed.. gotta leave now, sorry for being so brief, if you have any other questions, I'll answer in like 3-4 hrs, or even the other members will

To use the USB in TWRP

just choose install and were it says internal storage ..click it and choose USB-OTG and it will change to it.

fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

fastboot erase cache

rename the file to RUU.zip (not RUU.zip.zip if windows hides file extension) Be sure it's in the same folder as fastboot.

Then shift+right click / command prompt here

in the command prompt

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip RUU.zip

fastboot flash zip RUU.zip (yes 2 times)

wait for it to complete then

fastboot reboot

when the phone reboots it may take 4-6 min to bootup the first time

be patient and wait for it

Go to your dialer and type *#*#3424#*#* , then select the led/display test ( I don't remember what exactly it is) It'll test your backlight, and red and green leds. If it isn't working there, then it's surely a hardware problem, if it is, then there's something wrong with your settings/rom. SD Eragon is under active development, so sometimes things break. It's more than likely that it's your rom, so do the test.

EDIT : SOLVED :

Many thanks to slot78

Hello all.

I got my hands on a Inew I2000 phone (Mediatek 6589 cpu). I tried to flash it with the latest rom, and might have hard bricked it. Can you help me say if it is indedd hard-bricked, and if not how to revive it ?

What I did :

I used Flash Tool 3.1312

Got the rom from this page : http://www.needrom.com/mobile/inew-i2000/

After fighting with the drivers for a while, it seems my phone is ready to flash.

I selected the scatter-loader, cliced "firmware upgrade"

Pluged the phone.

The upgrade seemed to work fine. I got to the green circle. I unpluged phone. But hte phone didn't boot.

After that, nothing.

The phone doesn't seem to reac to anything. The screen stays black.

When I plug it, the list in device manager moves a bit ( showing that it still react to pluged USB) But I can't find the device anywhere on the list.

When I try to flash anything with flash tool, I clic load. Then, when I plug the phone, the loading start. But when the red bar reach 100%, nothing more happens.

From what I've found with google so far, it looks like I somehow had the wrong pre-loader in my ROM.

Now, I'm opened to suggestions.

Any way I can be sure wrther my phone is bricked or not ?

If not, what is the next step to revive it ?

Thanks in advance for any help.
