I have to post this because when this happens, and it has happened several times, it takes me forever to find the solution on the web.
The symptoms:
The battery appears to wear down and the phone does not seem to charge even if left for several hours. If the battery is removed and then put back in the phone, the green MyTouch screen occurs for a few moments, then the Android screen occurs for a few moments, the screen goes black.
The solution:
Make sure you have charged the battery for at least an hour. Next, the phone needs to be hard booted and you can do that by following the instructions on this link:

Unfortunately, all of your used data, such as app downloads, will be deleted… very annoying. But, the phone will start to work again.
I’m posting this, mainly because I don’t use the accents often enough to remember the shortcuts. You can see the entire article at Apple Pro Tips.
You can drop symbols right in line as you type — without interrupting your flow to sift through special menus — by memorizing a few simple key commands. If you frequently type foreign words, it can be a real time-saver.
When you want to add a letter with a symbol in just about any Mac OS X application, hold down the Option key and press the appropriate symbol key. Release the keys and type the letter you want to receive the symbol. Take café — you type c, a, f, then press Option-E (to get the right-leaning acute accent), then e. Same for résumé, fiancée, or blasé.
As in most of these combinations, the acute accent key command is linked to the letter most likely to need the symbol in question — in this case, the letter e. But if you need to type the Italian limóne, say, you press Option-E, then o. For Spanish está, it’s Option-E, then a.
The left-leaning (grave) accent is simple to remember, because it has its own key: the ` above the Tab key. Just press Option-`and then the target letter: Voilà!
Some more easy ones:
- Option-C produces the cedilla in façade and curaçao.
- Option-N plus n yields the tilde in España and mañana. For the tilde in São Paulo, press Option-N plus a.
- Option-I plus i creates the circumflex in huître, while Option-I plus e gets you fenêtre.
- Option-U plus u puts the umlaut in German words like Übermensch. Follow Option-U with an o or an a to get the umlauts in Götterdämmerung.
- Option-O gives you the stroked o in Nordic words like the Norwegian nevø.
- Option-? and Option-1 create the inverted question marks and exclamation points that start some Spanish sentences. ¿Comprendes? ¡Sí!
Need to type a capital letter with an accent or other diacritical mark? Just press Option plus the appropriate key for your symbol, then press Shift as you type the letter you want. For example, to type Évian-les-Bains, use Option-E followed by a capital E.
Super simple. Super fast.
This is an interesting, near real time, Seismic Monitor. I show this to students when they are studying earthquakes. Thanks go to I.R.I.S., the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology.
The update process did not go smoothly. It didn’t go at all. I stupidly didn’t back up my blog, because I thought that the settings would need to be redone and I didn’t mind. Noooooo! My entire blog and all of the posts disappeared.
