I thought it just a one off, but it's now happened a few times, I leave my TP2 over night, it show 80 or 90% battery, then when I get up in the morning and check my phone, it says there is an error to report with Opera.exe then when it's cleared the battery is low.
and now twice I have gone to check my phone and found it's turned off completely, then when I turned it on it says there is 10% battery, when the night before it had been charging in the car and before gong to be had shown at least 90%.
Any ideas ???? have I got a faulty battery?
I have quite a similar problem. Sometimes, my tp2 won't wake up after charging. I have to do a soft reset with the stylus to get it running again. My battary doesn't get drained though... don't know what the problem could be...

I think the device has a few isssues which we hope the WM 6.5 upgrage will resolve. I have a vodafone TP2 and anytime i slide open the keypad i get an error message "cprog.exe has stopped working". I am sure other users out there are facing similar issues.
interesting. Mt T-Mo version (that I've had since August 14th) hasn't had a single problem like that... yet (fingers crossed)
last night's shutdown happened while the charger was actually plugged in and the charge light was on, this morning I unplugged it and the phone was off, did a reset to start it and found there was only 10% battery life.
VERY ODD.
Sadly I think it's unlikely that HTC and Vodafone will be able to come to any aggreement to let us officially upgrade to WM 6.5. There's an firmware upgrade on the vodafone site but there's confusion over what it does when the version number is out of sequence to what is installed already.
I've seen the touchflo3D 2.5 youtube vids which look good BUT even if we could get an official release Vodafone will probably want to mess up the icons and colour to brand it again, just for us the end user to spend hours trying to undo their screwing around.
I'm not very optamistic about an upgrade amd I don't want to start installing cooked roms yet as the TP2 is still under warranty and it's my business phone.
Same Here
Mine sometimes doesnt charge however its plugged in & it shuts down itself & keeps restarting automatically with some other similar above issues!! HTC has to know that!
no such things in my pro2
Just had the very same thing happen to me this morning, so it's good to know I'm not alone.
Yesterday, I found my phone was dead, though I was sure it had enough battery life. I put it on the charger and turned it back on.
It was on the charger all night; the battery light was green. When I unplugged it from the charger, I tried to turn it on [from stand-by/locked mode], and the battery light kept flashing, but nothing would happen.
I only was able to get it on by plugging it back into the charger. When it came on, it had 60% battery life, even though it supposedly had 100% just two minutes before (and wasn't even on).
So thanks for mentioning it.
I have searched here and google all day to no avail. After charging my phone last night I tried to turn it on this morning and just get the amber led light then the green. It just won't boot. I have removed the battery several times, checked the battery contacts, all fine. I have tried the volume and power button trick but nothing. I rooted the phone about 4 months ago to gingervillian. All, has been well until now.I left the battery in there for a while and noticed that it got quite hot. I have now removed it and am going to leave it out overnight to see if it is anything to do with overheating. Anyone ever had similar or heard of this before, help appreciated.
Flashing amber usually means the battery is completely dead. Maybe try a new battery because it might be dead.
Oh, I like the sound of that planning to go to Tmobile shop (nearest one to me as on their network) to get it checked tommorrow. Thanks for that info.
Just an update for anyone who may have the same problem. I left the battery out all night, came down this morning and tried it and still the same amber to green and so on. Left the battery in and then about half an hour later just about to go out and noticed not flashing anymore. Tried it and it booted up fine! Battery only says 46% left will see what happens when I charge it tonight.
Tempted to go back to original rom in case this goes wrong again, didn't fancy telling the guys in the shop that I had rooted it and so voiding my warranty. Although I can't remeber what the warranty length was anyway?
Going to have a think about it as I really can't stand the original rom version.
Hi all, I've had my Desire since they 1st came out, so about a year and a half now.. Had the same rom on there for about 10 months..
Last night I was sat at my desk and the phone just slides out of my pocket onto the floor, no big deal and it's not a big drop at all, I pick it up and go to turn wifi off and the phone just turns itself off, I try turning it back on and it stays on the pink logo for ages.. about 5 minutes before it reaches the lock screen but I cannot go any further because the touchscreen is no longer working.
The charge light doesnt come on, the battery icon is red all the time and the big battery appears on the screen saying please plug in charger, if the charger isn't plugged in then the phone just turns itself off.. Battery is 100% full and I even charged it on my partners desire and also tried her battery but it's the same.
I can access the bootloader but I cannot select anything as when i press any button the screen just turns off, and when i press any button again it comes back on. The phone will stay running in bootloader mode from the battery for hours and hours so maybe this could help pinpoint where the issue is as when the phone is on the lock screen it claims the battery is dead when it clearly isn't.
The phone still has reception and even H is connected still but I can't do anything at all.
I'm hoping somebody will recognize these symptoms so I can perhaps buy the correct part to fix this.. I'm pretty sure the fault is not the screen.
I have the phone layed on my desk now, I've stripped everything away and just left the screen and board, attached battery.. Same issue.. Detached screen and plugged in charger with battery attached, no charging light..
Got my One X on Friday (no sim card as the company I got it from had forgotten to send them out with the phone)
Have been playing around with it most of day yesterday, putting few apps on etc, haven' used it for games.
Last night when coming out of apps and going back to home screen was taking a while to display (kept saying "loading"), eventually home screen appeared. this happened a few times, I then tried to put a widget on screen and it just froze on loading and gave me a message to sat "Sense had stopped working" and then restarted. Thought I had best restart the phone so tried using the restart option and nothing, so went for switch off, which it did and now will not reboot.
Phone did feel a little hot on the back by the camera but did not think too much of it, when I try to turn on the phone I get the HTC screens then as soon as the homescreen comes up before you can unlock it the phone vibrates and shuts down.
Left the phone over night without charging it and is still the same this morning.
Have tried Factory reset, still no joy.
Led notification is flashing red/green constantly if you plug into charger.
Having read some about this on other HTC phones it seems my phone has overheated, but surely should have cooled down now after being off all night and not on charge (am in the UK so excessive hot weather is not the cause )
Finally received the sim card in post this morning so tried putting that in, still no joy, think I am going to put in in the garage as its really cold in there.
Any ideas before I send it back. I think its knackered.

The blinking leds means your phone is overheating, you better not use the phone while charing (until the problem is fixed).
The reason why sense 4.0 might be crashing all the time is because of the widget, if you use a Calender Widget it keeps crashing until you remove it! Try to remove all your widgets and see if that solves the problem.

Thanks for you ideas but.........
Cannot use the phone on charge or otherwise, will not boot up past the HTC screen, widget will already be gone as have factory reset the phone, not sure how long it takes the Phone to cool down but has been off and in a cold room for over 12 hours now, so don't it will resolve itself. An option for other HTC phones is to take the battery out to reset the problem, but this is not an option on the One X, just wondered if anyone had any ideas.

You didn't do any rooting I assume ?
The device is probably damaged in some way, I'd say take it to the seller and see what he says. I haven't read these issues before so they are not a known problem... Probably a hardware problem ?

This is not normal. Phone should cool down completely in a matter of minutes, not hours. If it's overheating to such an extent that you can't use it, it is faulty.

Nope haven't rooted.
I think that the phone is faulty so back it goes then. Tried ringing the company but they are not open on a Saturday so will have to wait to see if they are open on Monday now (but this is a Bank Holiday) but we will see.
Thanks for your thoughts

Just a quick update
Phone has now been off for 24 hrs, in a cold room, tried to switch on this morning still no luck cannot get past the HTC screens. Put it on charger and still showing led notification that phone is overheating. Boxed it back up, it is going back tomorrow and want a replacement
This is making me think do I want the One X with these overheating issues

I have the same problem about the loading, gonna try to remove the calendar widget; however Sense never crashed.
The heating your phone is experiencing is probably because it's faulty.
Sometimes mine becomes hot too, but in a bunch of minutes cools down.
lordjone, have you seen this thread? I was having the same problem and this fixed it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597880&highlight=loading

Well, I never had so many loading screens and with ARHD rom this problem is completely gone because the sense is entirely loaded in memory. Anyway disabling the background activities breaks the multitasking which i consider bad because i found usefull the ability to switch between apps.
Thanks for your answer
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Hey Pacswoman - what was the outcome??

Got my replacement, had it a week now with no issues at all. Deffo something wrong with the last one, this one seems quicker and doesn't get so hot on the back where the camera is. So far so good. No screen flex problems......very happy bunny. Love it
Giving new phone is only a placebo effect. Because all HTC one x's overheat with high usage.
As soon as the CPU starts bursting more then 50% on only a 1000 MHz (max is 1500) then the phone starts heating up to over 53 degrees. At the point of 48 degrees reached in minutes the LED starts flaching red and green rappidly. when boosting up performance the battery will eventually reach 63 degrees celcius making it almost to hot to hold on to. Most apps crash when the 53 degrees is reached.
I havent tested a 100% CPU load on 1500 MHz but im guessing eventually the battery will burn, damage the unit beyond repair.
I have tested this on 3 different one X's from 3 different places, they all have this problem.
When you play tegra zone games like dungeon defenders it will take about 15 minutes to reach 48 degrees starting to make the led flash, warn for overheat. this game uses 50% of the CPU on aprox 1000 MHz.
I really dont wanna know what happens when you play a game wich uses 100% of the CPU on 1500 MHz...
This happens with and without charging. Wich makes me wonder.. Why they put in a CPU that uses so much power it burns down the battery and overheating it even on 50% CPU usage. This way there is absolutely no way the full power of the one x can ever be used without active cooling it. If you can use only 1000 MHz on 50% max what use is it to put in such a powerfull CPU, and games that will damage the phone.
For the record... Li-ion shouldnt be exposed to temps of 63 degrees for a long time. they will age in days, if not leak, explode or burn.
unbelievable that HTC made such a crappy device!
Not to mention that the battery dies in minutes when CPU uses full power.
to see your temp battery, cpu usage, cpu frequency and much more, download Cooltool in the playstore. its free. it can be custimized big time and root is not required
When a Li-ion battery is exposed to 40 degrees or higher the capacity will be reduced to about 35% a year. The one x becomes 50 degrees easily making the capacity drop even bigger. When using the phone allot above the 50 degrees will make you end up charging the one x multiple times a day after one year
Hey guys.
Some days ago problems started with overheating. I mean not the usual 40 °C overheating, i mean realy fingerburning crazy hot overheating.
Then friday night my HOX freezed while charging and playing pvz2. And when i say freezed i mean display and sound and everything. I couldnt even turn it of by holding power button for 10 secs. Neither could i turn it on for half an hour after battery drained and i pluged in the cable.
Since my ROM i had was a bit buggy, i thought it might be a solution, flashing another one and so i did.
Happily starting new ROM after flashing, frustrated by first expressions. When the phone charges i cant do anything, otherwise it crashes.
Today it startet crashing while incomming calls. Then finaly it crashed so hard, i cant even start the bootloader. I think the battery is empty, but also i can't charge the phone (or it seems like i cant, cause the led won't light up).
Any Ideas or solutions? Would be great, need an alarm clock for tomorrow
Hmm probably not going to have an alarm clock tomorrow. Leave it on the charger over night. When it's not reacting/powering up in the morning it's over.
So, i tried to start it today again but no reaction. I'm gonna try to send it to t-mobile. Hope i will get a replacement even without warranty because my bootloader is unlocked. Otherwise it would hurt my purse :'(
I doubt they will be able to resurrect it
This sounds like a hardware failure to me.
So, not likely that they will be able to detect the unlocked bootloader.
