[Q] Phone Won't Turn On - HTC Incredible S

Randomly today, while on the train in fact. I got a black screen. Phone was unresponsive, so I pulled the battery and nothing. Phone was warm so I let it cool. Home now, plugged it into the charger and it appears to be charging but still won't turn on. HELP!

Search this forum before posting. There are 10 or so threads created with this exact issue.

Thanks for the tremendous help. I especially like how you posted a link to one of the abundance of threads that were clearly impossible to miss..

No, people that can't use the search function and clog up boards with questions that have already been asked are what this place doesn't need.

Thanks, this was the only relevant one to the problem I had. Phone is working again now. I separated phone and battery for an hour until they completely cooled and then held power + volume down and it came back to life.

What's with the rage in the tbolt forums lately? Like it somehow makes your life worse by him bumping.
I'd like the keyboard too, it's surprisingly good

sounds like the Dinc forums...
Cause this same thing was posted about a month ago by the same person and the same thing happened.
Also getting the keyboard to work would most likely involve having to tear things out of motoblur (which is closed source) which I'm pretty sure was also said way back when.

Nikolai I point out repeat threads so I don't have to look at the same thread 100 times.
I worked with the hacked apk for about an hour last night and got nowhere. I can get the keyboard to show but if I try to hit anything it fc's. I will try tonight on cyanogen to see if it is maybe sense being supid. I'm ar work now but will maybe get some free time to try it in a few minutes here.

Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
so i posted this on someone else looking for this keyboard. IF you download smart keyboard there is a droid x skin you can download. Looks exactly the same and smart keyboard is better keyboard.
Just tried on cyanogen with the same results. Seems like we are going to need to have a custim built apk for the thunderbolt. Or as others have said, get smart keyboard with the x skin.

Wow what a child,
Search before posting, be polite and don't feed the trolls (although both of you could be taken that way)
Plus bumping your own thread is useless, it may throw it to the top but if people don't have any input then it wont help anyway

I should grow up. Mmmm. Lets see.
I say something in a public forum not outside the rules and I get nothing but arseholed for it.
And if its a matter of opinion I said nothing inflammatory just stating a fact and maybe letting of steam. If that's how you all treat ppl than you all can keep it.
Btw I have been on here for years I had a dhd and contributed stuff there.
Thanks have not had my velocity that long and I can see how this all got started.

Cool, and I seem to get where you're coming from given some other stuff that's happened with devs' work over the last couple of months (threads being locked until sources posted, etc). There is a such thing as too many rules. Hey I know you're not saying anything as I read the OP, just my two bits.

I know I haven't said much of why I had stuff pulled but I'll leave it at this....I'm really frustrated with xda and what seems to be a lot of politics that comes with it. I will eventually repost all my work and then some as my frustrating wears off. As of right now I think I am going to give up developing until I can get a better laptop or the parts to upgrade my desktop. It sucks when you are building stuff and you can't multitask at all because of the build hogging all the CPU power

Don't worry about it, you've done so much for us already, I can't even thank you enough.
How would you all feel about starting a website? Just for our device and development, it would be free and no politics.

Better yet, have her call you from her phone. that way she never has to touch your phone, and you know she didn't give you a bogus number.
That's why I barely let anyone touch my phone.

Batt usage

Hi , I recently got a second hand HTC one. I'm not sure why it's only showing these info in the batt usage info. Is my HTC one using stock Rom?
Is there anyway to see the screen on time in the batt usage info?

please do some research before posting a thread
get yourself GSam Battery Monitor for screen-on timings
and BetterBatteryStats for wakelocks
use Greenify for hibernating battery hoger apps for better battery

Bro, I really can't fined any app to see if my phone goes into deep sleep. I'm currently using gsam to monitor rogue apps, but it doesn't match with the system batt usage.
My system batt usage still shows android system using 92% and phone idle at 1%
Please help sir. I've been trying to look for the culprit for 3 days.

Of course I've done my research. I can't find the answers I'm looking for that's why I'm here.
