So I woke up this morning to my phone blinking at me that I had an email. Pushed the power button to check it...nothing. pushed it a few more time...nothing. had to pull the battery.
When i turned the phone back on, it booted in safe mode ( safe mode text at the bottom of the screen ). Turned off and on again, and it booted into download mode.
Finally after that I was able to boot normally, but all my widgets were gone from my hone screens and had to be readded.
Has anyone ever seen anything like that? Very confusing because I have no clue what caused it to get hung up in the first place...
Rooted and unlocked, stock otherwise...
Seeing as you say it did blink that you had email I suppose you have light flow installed for the led notifications?
Read from some people that they had sleep of death with light flow.

Sometimes Light Flow goes rogue and will do that to your screen and not let it turn on.
Your action of booting to Safe Mode is what destroyed your home widget layout.

Good to see you again. Are you going to develop some cool roms for us?
Team BAMF has a private repo going on. When ready, we will make the repo public and release a rom. I did a 4.0.3 build thats on teambamf.net but I am not updating it further than I have.
We already have some really unique and cool stuff going on behind the scenes.
I don't have light flow installed. K9 controls the led on new email...
Also, I didn't try to boot to safe mode. I just pulled the battery for 30 seconds for so, put it back in and turned the phone on...ended up in safe mode. Turned it off, and back on again...ended up in download mode. Power button on start in download mode finally got me back into the phone normally...
I'm just saying. Safe Mode is what destroyed your layout.

thanks...that explains that part of it.
any idea why my phone booted itself into safe mode though? and then into download? i didn't do anything other than turn the phone back on...
Almost sounds like volume keys were stuck or pressed in. I assume thats not the case?
Download/Odin mode is volume down + power. Safe Mode is power +...well I don't know on this phone because we don't have capacitive keys.

ok, has anyone else noticed this problem,
sometimes i switch my phone off to save battery and it will switch itself on in my pocket so i need to check every now and then to see if it is really off, however, the only way to switch the screen on is with the power button so if my phone was really off then i have to let it start up and switch it off all over again.
i'm going to have a look for a way to remap the buttons without root as i cant get unrevoked to work and i cant be bothered to go about it the long way
hmm im not sure if this is the same issue, but sometimes the keys on my desire are on with the screen being turned off, im not sure if it happens on its own or what, not a big deal really

I noticed this, it is very annoying!
What ROM are you using? I use DeFrost 2.3 and you can bring the phone out of standby by pushing the trackball button. A second push unlocks the phone.
I dont understand this. If the phone is on, a single short press of the power button will light the screen. If it's off, it needs a long press to turn it back on - therefore it's pretty easy to tell the difference

Mine is unmodified and i'm not planning on changing that until HTC stops issuing updates. Sounds like a good feature though, bit of an oversight on the phone that.

Yes, any sort of press turns the phone on.

Careful, it may burn the LED out if you keep it constantly on.
rofl. this burn stuff is constantly floating aroung and is still crap.
why do you think, they enable the led while charging? because it is likely to burn?
who ever brought that up .......

I agree, I think the only LED to be worried about having on for long periods of time is the SUPER BRIGHT Camera Flash LED. It's obviously a different LED than the charging/notification ones, and snudel makes sense when he says that it's enabled while charging.
snudel, do you have a link for this blue LED app? I don't even think I've ever seen the blue LED on my Desire glow, but it would be neat to have it lit when the phone is "awake".
Cheers!
you can download a blue led app here:

but don't know if this is the one that snudel uses (i think not)

ok so here is the rundown
Device: HTC one on vzw
Rom: Slimbean 2.x
Gapps: Slim AIO gapps
had a weird problem with the display today if anyone has had this or know someone who has i would greatly appreciate the help. I just flashed Slimbean 2.x last night and all was good. no problems what so ever, got everything setup and was working fine. this morning around 10am i opened snapchat to view a video. i clicked on the video and as soon as it started the screen went blank and would not turn on. i tried holding the power button down for at least a minute and nothing. also tried power and volume down, power and both volume buttons, power and volume up and still nothing seems to work. when i plug it into the wall charger the red LED light does not turn on and screen does not wake. when i plug it into the computer the computer does not ever read the device and noting pops up letting me browse the files on the phone. i have no clue why this happened it has been working fine for the 3 months that i've had it. took it to verizon about an hour ago and they didn't know either but they are sending me a replacement htc one. all i really want now are my photos that i have on the phone.
does anyone have any ideas about what i could do?
thanks
I had something similar and think it was conflict related. After installing the "advanced power menu" with xposed, I had an issue when trying to use it to boot into recovery. Basically it had timed out and then went away without rebooting. The next time I tried it locked up and my screen went black. My keys would light up if I clicked on the power button (it was dark in the room so the sensor was still working), but nothing else. Nothing I did would make the screen turn on at all and holding down the power key to reboot did not work. I just planned on letting the battery die out. After about 45 minutes, the phone just rebooted and everything was back to normal. I really think it locked up due to a conflict similar to what a PC might do.
Hey guys... so I've noticed my phone acting a bit funky after the latest KitKat update. Just a bit of freezing and lagging, but my 32GB of space was also full. So I did a complete wipe and factory reset and started from scratch. At first everything was great (about a week or two). Then the past day or two I've noticed the below issues...
1. While at work, I keep the phone plugged into my computer via USB with Internet Pass-Through and WiFi turned on. I have it setup this way so I can use the computers internet and trickle charge the phone at the same time. But when I leave my desk I simply unplug my phone and it connects to my works WiFi while I'm walking around the office. I get back to my desk I plug it back in.
Problem: I've noticed lately that I'll pick up my phone and it's HOT to the touch. As well as the battery percentage is actually dropping even though it's plugged in.
2. At night when I go to sleep, using the HTC Charger and Cable that came with the phone I'll plug it in next to my bedside and let it charge.
Problem: I'll wake up in the morning, hit the power button to light up the screen and nothing happens. The Home Key and the Back Arrow (are these what everyone refers to as the "soft keys"?) are lit up but the screen will not turn on. To get the screen on, I have to HOLD the power button down, the screen then lights up with the Restart menu showing (and yes I've restarted it many times in hopes of fixing this issue) and I have to tap outside that box (on my wallpaper or wherever) and the menu will go away and my screen is back up like normal. However as soon as I tap the power button to turn off the screen (not the phone) and tap the power button again, nothing happens except the bottom keys being lit up. It's an ugly circle.
I have noticed a few times when holding the power button to bring up the screen/reset menu, sometimes the screen/reset menu will not turn on, but the home and back arrow keys on the bottom will flash a few times.
Any ideas guys? Loved this phone up until now
So after 200+ views and no comments I'd just like to add that I think I found the fix for this. I spoke with a few different HTC techs and tried multiple things before having to ship it out to them and right before doing so they had me reset what they termed the "Charging Logic"
To reset the Charging Logic
1. Power phone completely off
2. Once powered off, hold the Volume UP, Volume Down, and Power buttons for 2 minutes (my fingertips were sore afterwards LOL)
3. You should get a white background with the green HTC logo turn on/off multiple times. Almost as if it's trying to reboot...
4. After 2 minutes, let go of the buttons and let it reboot.
DONE!
Since I've done this, I've noticed my battery life extremely improved. My phone is no longer getting crazy hot, and the screen now turns on after an over-night charge!
Hope this helps others!
Does it matter what kind of charge you have on the battery when you do this? This is the first I've ever heard of resetting Charging Logic.

I'm not sure what you are asking by "what kind of charge". Could you clarify?

Does it matter what percentage your battery is at and does it work for rooted phones? Do I need to be on the stock Rom/recovery for it to work?

Sorry I'm not familiar enough with the developer side of things to tell you "it's ok" or "not".
What I can say is, the HTC tech never did ask me if my phone was fully charged or what percentage it was at. Which at the time was like 97% if I recall correctly. I am completely stock...
I would imagine this would work for rooted phones and it wouldn't matter what battery percentage but can't guarantee you...
I just wanted to come back in here and update this again. The above fix did not actually fix the phone as the problem came back again eventually. I am now on my third HTC ONE M7 and looks like I'll have to send this one back as well for the same issue.
I have a theory that it's either a problem with the OS or Light Sensor causing the screen not to turn on.
Can a mod take this thread off "fixed"
Here's the story.
I was playing games in my phone until I slept but forgot to remove my phone from being charged. When I woke up, my phone no longer turns on.
Here are what's happening and current status
- Rooted and has custom ROM
- Currently not detected by Odin when plugged into PC.
- When I turn on the phone, the Samsung logo does not appear. Order of screen appearance is that is is lit up but the screen is still black, then less lit then unlit.
- The scenario above also happens when I plug my phone in the PC but there is no light indicating that the phone is being charged
- I tried the Home + Power + Vol Up or Vol Down combination but the phone does not reset. Recovery or download mode does not show up.
Can anyone help on what happened?
Regards,
Cedrick
UPDATE
Phone can now be detected by Odin. I can flash the Bootloader and TWRP recover. However, there isn't anything that appears on the screen of the phone. Do you think this is more of broken LCD?
Also on the screen, there is a part that is white and this is the hottest part. The phone is gotta be warm when turned on but this part is too hot.

Seems like the screen is borken
I was using my phone normally and out of no where phone screen turned black. Hard reset it, turned on for a brief momment then turned black again. Now It wont turn on, if I hold Volumen + and power I can see the white razer logo but it goes black as soon as the logo disappears. The sounds works and if i touch the phone i can hear the sounds and key vibration. For some reason the phone wont enter the recovery mode. If I press volume + and power it just reastart, if I hold the powerbutton it wont turn off I guess and restart. Im trying to turn the phone completely off to see if i can enter recovery mode.
Any ideas? Dead phone?
I had the same experience 3 weeks ago. i only feel the phone vibrate when powered on or plugged.

did you ever figure out how to fix it? My daughters is doing this exact thing and won't go into recovery mode. All I can get is fastboot mode but its locked so I can't wipe or flash anything.
