Hi guys.
I'm ready to buy HTC ONE X on 3/20.
I've searched about the feature about HTC ONE X.
I found that HTC ONE X can't change the battery.
I'm using HTC Desire now with custom rom.
If my Desire crashed, the only way is drawing out the battery.
So, how to do if HTC ONE X crashed?
Will it have a security against that?
Moreover, will HTC ONE X have HDMI output just like Sensation XE?
Thanks
HTC sources said holding the power button for a certain amount of time will force shut down the device, we don't know if software coded or hardware
It should be hardware based for a very long pressed event.

for devices like these there are always hard reboot options a la iPod and iPhone with DFU and recovery mode and the hard reboot via holding power and home for x seconds.
I have a Xoom tablet and have loaded many custom roms, etc, and have been in a few boot loops and had a few crashes etc, the Xoom has a non-removable battery also and its never been an issue, you just use the specific key combination (on the Xoom power + vol up if I remember correctly...) and it restarts. This has never failed for me and much more convient that pulling the battery.

SCENARIO 1: MOST DANGEROUS!! NOW FIXABLE
All One Series phoneshaving been facing this problem of QHSUSB_DLOAD where the phone is completely bricked and rendered unusable. It has been reported by many people that pressing Volume Up + Power instead of Volume Down + Power can be a deadly mistake...You have to send the phone to HTC and they will repair it but instead you could avoid this brick by being a tad bit careful and not pressing the Volume Up instead of Down...
This is just one case but it may also happen in other cases but this is easily avoidable unlike others which just happen out of the blue...This is one precaution which can help you.
SCENARIO 2: POTENTIAL BRICK!
Also if battery is extremely either switch it off or wait for it to switch off...Do Not REBOOT YOUR PHONE...That might just cause this above error as well....
SCENARIO 3: TOOOO LONG!
Do not hold your Vol Down +Power Down for toooo long like 10+seconds or it might cause a brick. IF it doesnt go to bootloader or if you are scared use this fastboot command: adb reboot bootloader or try the button combination again..
SCENARIO 4: STAY AWAY FROM ROM MANAGER
Please stick to the safe way of flashing by accessing recovery manually and refrain from the use of Rom Manager..It uses fakeflash which is potentially dangerous for most phones...
SCENARIO 5: THE UNPRECEDENTED ONE!
The above scenario just happens..It might have no proper explanation like it happened to someone while he was talking on the phone...etc

Pretty ridiculous that a simple key combination can brick a phone. Hopefully HTC fixes this ASAP.
Wow wtf. Nice heads up.
:good: I bricked my phone this way, too. so this warning is no joke! thank God HTC replaced my phone instead of repair it. for root user, I recommend you to use reboot app, so you can avoid this deadly brick.

Wow..
Not that I doubt any of the info given here, earlier I did try vol+ and pwr a few times and get into some kind of download mode, so I rebooted and nothing changed. So maybe it is something in addition to getting into that mode.
Can this maybe be used to get s-off? Download mode sounds like something that might be able to write to hboot

hi shubham add it in your thread that holding power button and vol down button simultaneously for a while can hard brick your phone and you will get your phone replaced by htc.....
This happened to me twice.....

dude this happened to me two times when you will hold power and vol down at the same time for 10-20 seconds phone will be dead...i know that power and vol down makes phone go into BL but if you press both at the same time for a while that leads your phone to dead(In my case two times)....

Yup, I can confirm. This is what happened to me. I didn't press Vol Up, just Down + Power and I think I held it for too long, then I got the dreaded UHUSB_DLOAD error.
It's at HTC right now, so hopefully get it back soon.
So you can press volume up + power at any time and it'll just brick your phone? Do you have to hold it? Seriously... I can't believe a phone gets released in this state. I will never buy another HTC phone again.
The *intended* function of Vol Up + Power is actually for accessing stock recovery after you choose it in bootloader :O Have no idea why it'll be linked to bricking.
Is there any way to set the power button not to work while the phone is locked?
I constantly facing the problem that the phone switches off and restart in my pocket. It happens when I lean my body to tight the shoes or squeeze the phone in my pocket in some other way.
Thanks

Eh?
Whilst your phone is in your pocket, you can press power button, then swipe to unlock (before screen timeout) & then long press power button till it restarts - all whilst in your pocket?
I highly doubt this, sounds like you have software issues - are you running a unstable OC/UV?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I can restart the phone by long press the power button. Even when the lock is on. Without unlocking it.
I checked on my friends htc v, which is even not rooted, and it works the same. While the phone is locked long press on the power button causes restart..
I was just wondering if can change that. Never had that problem with the sensation, but that one is a bit smaller

Yeah, sorry.
I didn't think you could reboot whilst locked, just checked on my own and your correct.
Wish I had a solution for you, but at least my reply has bumped you to the top. LOL
I havnt heard anyone have this problem before, the power button only sticks out a little bit, and it needs a bit of force to push
Maybe this is an overlooked request to be submitted to some of the custom rom developers.

Yeah, I've also looked in goggle but nobody seems to have similar problem.. .
It may be a fault of my cover. The lock of the cover is right above the power button and mayby they just didn't design it correctly..

Besides a phone case no solution
the reason for the long press is it is a life saver.
As we cannot take the battery out of the one x like the sensation, if you are frozen or stuck on bootscreen, you cant exactly pull the battery and put it back in, so by holding the power button for seven seconds, it simulates a battery pull forcing the phone to restart no matter what!
without it if you were frozen on bootscreen or just frozen or needed to restart by cutting off power to the battery and then power up. you would not be able to do it.
I'll have to find a way how to not pushing it so .
Thanks people

Hi there,
I experienced the same thing, when sitting in the car or tighting the shoes.. i'm hearing starting up sound of HTC ... quietly bla bla..
well, I dont like cases i'm not using such, thats why i found a solution for me and till now its working
so if you putting your phone in left pocket, then try to put it with display forward, but if you dont like it that way, then you should start using your right pocket ..that way the power button is staying at the outer side of you and wont be pressed when you "do" something.
hope this could help
Cheers
I realize it is dangerous, but is there a way to lock power-off and/or getting into recoverymode with a lockpattern? Since all other security measures (like gps-tracking) won't matter if a thief can just power-off your phone or boot into recovery en just change the rom or things like that.
Any ideas are more than welcome
Nevermind what I posted was dangerous...
Not advisable to erase recovery as your phone goes into recovery when you power off.
Meaning if you erase recovery then power off your phone. Its likely it won't turn on again.
Think of all the bricked xls by flashing our recovery by mistake

I probably mean a bootloader lock then. That you have to unlock your phone before being able to put it into fastbootmode.
I don't think many thefs will know about what a boatloader, they probably have a blackberry anyway
Back to topic could you not resign the power button for screen on/ off but not to power down?

LC said that the power button functions are hard coded to the tegra chip and impossible to modify.

Well, the One X is still a pretty expensive phone. "Professional" thiefs will definitely know what they are steeling and how to handle it (or know someone who does). If people steel my phone, I'd like it to be completely useless to them, but still usable to me if I get my phone back of course. It sounds spectacular though, but I'm not looking for an app that lets the battery explode after 3 fail-attempts or something
Hello HTC One M8 Owners, I have a question for you.
Right now, I have a Galaxy S3. Being that I root and often flash things, there have been times where I have gotten stuck in boot-loops and had to do battery pulls. The fact that I cannot do that on this phone is one thing holding me back from getting it, so I would like to know, does the lack of the ability to pull the battery ever frustrate and or detract from the value of the phone? Quite honestly, if I got in a boot-loop with this phone I wouldn't know what to do besides let the battery die. I'm wondering if it's been an issue for anyone here.
Thanks!
Holding the power button and volume up for 10 seconds simulates removing the battery, this works at all times even when your stuck in a bootloop.

That was the only reason I almost didn't trade my S4 for an HTC One. Honestly, it was never an issue for me. On the m7, you held the power button for 10 seconds and it shut off.
Scared me at first when the M8 didn't do the same, but with a little experimenting, I found you just Power and Volume Up for a few seconds and it does the same thing.
Personally, I came from an S3 to an S4 to an HTC M7, and now my M8. I have never regretted going from Samsung and their Touchwiz UI to HTC's Sense. Hardware isn't much of an issue to me, since a massive majority of the apps will never reach the capabilities we have now. I would suggest making the switch

I am stuck in Entering Recovery mode, closing down and restarts again loop. If I do the volume up, it does turns off or it does anyway to restart, so it turns on shortly after and I cannot do volume down to entering fastboot again.
Any ideas?
Edit: Nvm. It seem to solve itself when it gets low enough on battery.

If it is restarting itself, just hold vol down, and don't let go, until you see the bootloader screen. Once it goes through a full "reboot" cycle next time, it will go to bootloader.
Essentially, holding vol down during any power-on or reboot, will trigger going to bootloader. Regardless of how that power-on or reboot was initiated.
My new HTC 10 (bought from HTC UK) is completely dead it seems. I've not tried to unlock or anything and it's a standard HTC supplied model.
The phone had just powered off completely via black screen with no input from me whilst inserting the phone into a car holder. Possibly the side buttons were pressed but in any case it powered off via a screen with small text at the bottom 1/3 of the screen. I didn't get a chance to see the text.
Now it seems that no combination (that I have tried) of button presses will power-up the device - not even boot to recovery (volume-down and power button). If I do attempt to boot to recovery then the 2 capacitive buttons either side of the home button flash on then off about 2 times per second. When plugged into the supplied HTC charger the charge light does not show!
I am about to call HTC UK - I have had it less than one week. Any advice would be most welcome as my brand new HTC 10 has failed on me .
Plug the phone to a wall socket and keep the power button pressed until the buttons stop blinking (10-15 seconds maybe?). Phone should vibrate and boot again.

:good: :victory: - Thank you. That did the trick and it's now booted up again and all looks so far OK.
Have you any idea what may have happened and caused it to go to this state where it would not (normally) power-up? Just keen to know what might have happened and more about this situation? Could I have a fault? I ask because I contacted HTC and they may replace the phone as it was logged as DoA.
Many thanks.
I don't think anything serious happened. The phone was just frozen. It wasn't turned off. You just needed a cold reboot and that's it. Hard to say why it froze though. I'm no hardware expert .
If you feel like that, you could try replacing it, but in my opinion the device is okay.
The phone is still working fine so I'll be keeping. I'm very impressed with this phone, but miss a few of the HTC apps such as the Gallery.
