Dead TP2

twistedfish · #1 (**permalink**) 09-30-2009, 11:52 AM

My battery died on my TP2 last night so I put it on the charger and once it I put it on the charger after about 15 minutes it started rebooted itself (just to the splash screen) and the shuts off. I can't turn it on, I can get it to hard reset or soft reset. I am going to head over to the local Sprint store today, but I am curious if anyone else has seen this or may have a solution for it. Before anyone asks, it was not dropped and has no damage, it just doesn't work.

Thanks

I would recommend doing a hard reset 1st. If you take it to the sprint store that is the 1st thing they are going to do. And if it works after a hard reset they will just tell you to be on your way, so to save you a trip 1st hard reset. Now if you mean you hard reset then it still won't boot up then yeah head on over there.

happened to me too last night, no amount of hard/soft resetting would bring it back

Weird!!! I wonder if there is a TIME BOMB in out phones, lol. But I did notice. I have had GREAT battery life on my TP2 the last week. Well I had some stupid problem with the notification (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=87909) well after hard reset. My phone acted normally, but today at work only being there for less than 2 hrs my battery lost 30%. Now I am at home and no phone calls or anything its at 40% charge???? Who, knows but my battery was getting pretty warm.

hard rest the thing. I have a suspicion that its something your installing like a tweak or maybe some mods. You must all remember.. this is a older gen CPU in here so the past mods and tweaks from the Pro 1 might actually do more harm than good. I would suggest everyon to stayt on stock for a while.

Well I just returned from the Sprint store...no joy!! They actually said call in I will get a new phone quicker.

By the way no mods on this phone as of yet, just a fluke. I guess when they were making them the guy at the end of the production line sneezed when mine passed by.LOL
