[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetalinatoR:
Hey

I'm having a similar problem. My Htc One turned off after complete battery drain and didnt turn on. I left it on wall charge at night and it turns on right now but doesnt charge when it's turned on and it doesnt recognize usb connection in any state(recovery,OS). Phone recognizes it's connected to usb in fastboot however.

It charges really slow when completely turned off.

My phone is rooted , custom recovery , custom ROM. TWRP as recovery and ViperOne 3.1.0 as ROM.

Please help me :(

Mine too! (HTC One)

My HTC One just died too.:crying: Two days old, my only crime was to un-click the fast boot tab to compare times. 'Pop!' Nada, not even a recharge LED. Oddly, this happened to my last phone, a HTC One V. Well, similarly anyway. It too died shortly after purchase, and that was a battery issue, which I suspect this is. I've tried the bright light and the volume/power combo, and nothing. Managed to find the rest of the case for the Micro Sim though, so at least that potential life ruining development has been overcome as the new sim now fits an older phone, and I'm now back to a...checks which is working....HTC Desire, the workhorse of SmartPhones, IMO.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masok:
This happened to a friend's phone recently, he just bought another one and gave it to me, it's a HTC One X.

I already have a HTC One S, but I thought it would be a good idea to give it a go.

I've already tried most of the things mentioned here, holding power button combinations, the bright light, etc.

I will leave it on charge for a few days to see if that makes a difference as well.

But I recently found a guy selling his smashed One X, and he's giving me a good price on the battery (which was working just fine)

I was wondering, anyone tried swapping the battery with another one? I'm curious on whether that would help or not.

If anyone has something to mention on that, please do tell.

Like I said, I will leave it on charge for a few days and if nothing happens, I think I might buy the battery and try to change it, maybe that will bring it back to life.

my One died aswell today

I was surfing the web via the mobile network when it suddenly restarted. After rebooting, it asked me to send a crash report to htc, which i did. It worked just fine for another couple of hours when it turned off while also surfing the web. I hoped that it will restart, but it didn't. No power on, recovery / fast boot, not any kind of reaction. Battery was about 60%.

I tried connecting it to my laptop but nothing happened. Not a single "device plugged in" beep or anything.

I tried the light sensor trick but it didn't work.

Eventually, i went to the carrier's shop and sent it to service. It's a new phone, no root, no custom os, no nothing, so warranty should solve the problem. I hope that they won't wipe storage...

I've had it for three weeks now.

I've had an overheating issue two weeks ago; Battery was about 70%; it became very hot and turned off. It turned on only after I connected it to the laptop using the usb cable. Battery was 10% when it did ...

back from the dead

I've got my htc back from the service company. Its mainboard has been replaced -> new imei; it was sim-locked and ro orange branded, now it has the international version, unlocked. Great improvement.

The only disadvantage is that it won't update to 4.4.2 kitkat, i'm stuck with 4.3 for now. Any advice on this?

Same issue

I have an T-Mobile HTC ONE, it was converted to the Google Edition via RUU. Last saturday it froze, so the only thing I could do was to load the RUU, and everything worked fine until last night when the phone shut off by itself, the battery was halfway and now it won't charge (LED does not light up) or boot (tried power + volume down) I tried to used adb (I have experience from doing RUU conversions and pushing apps) but my computer won't see it. Any ideas on why should I try next?

Oh BTW this is my second HTC One, first one had bad pixels so I sent it back, and the one I got was a refurb.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santirivera:
I got my HTC One the day before yesterday. Yesterday I flashed AOKP on it because coming from a (now broken) Nexus 4 I couldn't stand Sense. The phone felt really great.

Today the alarm rings, I get up, download some albums on Google Play Music and prepare to go to work. The phone was at 99% battery.

I go out, start listening to music and suddenly the phone goes off. No way to boot it.

So, I get to work and plug it into my pc. The led won't turn on, the phone stays off no matter what. I've tried the light trick using the flashlight of a Samsung Galaxy SII, to no avail.

The PC won't recognize the phone.

Then I put it on the wall charger, and I still have no life signal.

Is there anything I can do besides waiting?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camicia:
The reason why the phone does not turn on may vary.

If you were not tampering it and the battery just run out quickly, it may be that the algorithm that is estimating the charge left is inaccurate and the battery ended up to be too low to provided the little power necessary to run the charging circuit.

Leaving the phone alone for a while may be enough so the elements in the battery move around enough to restore some power necessary to charge. One way to accelerate the process can be to put it in the freezer for 1 or 2 minutes [DO NOT LEAVE IT IN THE FREEZER FOR TOO LONG OR IT WILL BREAK].

This worked for my phone that was not turning on and I could not get a red blinking light on when pugged into the charger:

Put the phone in the freezer for 2 minutes

Attach the phone to the charger (the red light started to blink - this signal that the phone started charging)

Wait until the light become green (1-2 hours) and the phone is fully charged.

Turn the phone on

Note: For a lithium battery reaching rock bottom is pretty bad. The time that your phone holds the charge is going to get a few hours if you keep reaching 0%. It would be a good idea to try to have the operator to fix it (change the battery) before it is completely dead. You may end up paying for the work.

Hi gents, I have similar problem, but I've notice no one had it here.

So, I've got my new phone last friday, used it for a day until it died (I was on a trip).

Then, I've got home and plug it in wall charger (original) and it starts charging, but on a funny way. When it is pluged in wall charger, LED light goes red, battery icon on mid screen appears and it say i.e. 1%, then LED goes off and againg turns on and display battery on 2% for example. That process repeats until it's 99%.

I've pluged it off from wall charger and normaly turned phone on. When the phone is ON, if I connect it to wall charger or to a PC, LED light goes on for 1 sec and that's it.

Basically, it means I can charge phone only when it is OFF, but it frustrates that is lightnihg up and down all the time.

I have no idea what to do. Even, when I connect it to my PC, I can copy or paste stuff from it, but Sync manager doesn't recognize it ...

Any idea how to solve this? Thnx.

HTC One Mini Backlight problem

I dropped my HTC One Mini in water. Didn't know I was supposed to switch it off. So I continued using it for more than six hours but when I woke up the following day the physical buttons were on but the display was black. I switched it off then tried putting it in rice for three days but the backlight wouldn't come on.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suteny0r:
Nothing here worked for me, but here is what did...

My HTC One went dark while plugged in charging and wifi tethering. about 50% charge.

went to pick it up, no response. Tried everything in this thread. no response.

has been on charger for about 4 days, no response.

Tried 2 min in the freezer, then all the long presses. Bright light during presses, with/without charge cable, every permutation. no response.

Was researching more, and found a reference in another thread to long pressing power while connecting/disconnecting from laptop USB

When I did that, i heard usb device recognized sounds. then the red light started blinking. then i transferred it to the HTC charger. red light continued to blink.

A few minutes later a short press on power button shows the battery icon charge animation. :)

I hope this helps someone.

btw, I'm now very unhappy with my purchase. I discovered that not only is there no actual equivalent to a battery pull (which would probably have resolved this) but the HTC One has been rated as the 'most un-repairable phone ever reviewed' It is literally impossible to remove the case without destroying it. HTC cliams to have special custom tools that allow them to do so, but apparently they're not interested in sharing them with those of us who spent $600 out of pocket on an unsubsidised phone.

I see many many reports of this problem, here and in other forums. I think this should be noisily brought to their attention.

At the very least, future models should have tiny recessed pinhole switch (like the SIM eject) that performs an actual battery pull. The 'oh, we don't need that, you just hold the power button down for 10 seconds' is demonstrably incorrect. They should also release the case removal tool.

Along the way I also learned of something clever samsung did for many of their phones, they have a special usb jig with a 300k resistor between pins 4 and 5 that forces the phone into odin mode during powerup. available on amazon for about $4

- - - a real fix - - -

Hello everyone, I also had this same problem with my phone. No LED when charging, nothing, a total brick.

How did I fix it???

I left it on the charger for 4-5 days then pressed the power switch and volume down.

I now saw that the charging LED finally was blinking (odd but it showed some sign of life!)

Left it to blink red for about 10-15 minutes

I then pressed the volume up and down plus the power button for 2 solid minutes.

After 2 minutes passed I just started it as usual - It powered on and showed 2% battery

I'm now leaving it to fully charge - I'm sure the battery took some permanent damage but at least I have my phone back..

I hope this helps some of you! :highfive:

Hi all,

today I was just reading some stuff on the phone with around 14 - 15% battery left. Suddenly it turned off, but without the white background and green HTC logo shown. No, when I plug it to the wall-charger, it makes no red led showing. But: when I press POWER and VOL DOWN it turrn the screen on with the battery-charge icon and blinks the red LED 3 times.

What could have happened?

EDIT: OK, I exchanged the wall-charger (without cable) to another one. Now the icon shows from all alone, the LED blinks three times. The icon shows the nipple on the battery-icon in white, the icon is empty (black). I don't know if that icon changes over time as I usually load my phone running. However, the red LED does not blink constantly or flahes while it is plugged in now.

EDIT2: OK, I left it plugged in and tried to boot it several times. At some point it displayed the 'red hboot warning' on the battery screen and then booted. Once the GUI was up it showed battery at 0%. I switched off the display and let it load now. GSAM Battery Monitor Pro says in the notifications that it would take 5:58h to fully charge. Normally it's loaded in 2+ hours or such.

Thanks for any feedback,

Marc

HTC One S wont power on

Hi All,

I have an HTC One S, which is over a year old. It was plugged into my CPU at work and last I check it was charged to 98%. The screen suddenly lit up with the HTC logo and the phone switched off on it own. Since then, I have been trying to power it back on with all the above methods but nothing works.:crying:

Power button for 15 seconds or more.

Power button + volume up/down or both.

The above 2 combinations under a direct source of light to the sensor.

Also tried wall charging for the past few hours but its still a brick.

When connected to the laptop it detects the usb but the drive isn't showing up.

Only the solid red light is on when plugged in to power supply.

The phone has never been rooted.
