[Q] Bad screen?

For the past several days I have been having this issue with my phone that is happening at least once or twice a day. There are times when I press the power button to turn the screen on, nothing happens. I thought at first that it wouldn't come out of sleep mode. When I looked at the battery stats, it shows that the phone has been awake. The phone will ring and email and sms notifications work. I can also answer the phone using a bluetooth. The screen won't come back on until I either pull the battery or hold the power button until it does a hard shutdown. Is there a anything I can do that might fix this or am I going to have to take it to sprint? I am hoping I don't have to get it replaced because that means I have to leave it with them the whole day in order for them to see it happen.

Have you tried switching roms, returning back to stock to see if it still does it? If you have tried all those options I would flash back to stock and take it to sprint.

[FIXED] STOCK HTC ONE - Screen not turning on, phone running hot, battery draining...

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"

Phone not turning on.

Hi. So after a long wait I got my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML today. The first thing I did was turning it on and it turned on normally, then I proceeded to make the initial setup (logging into google account, etc) without any problems. Then after about 10 minutes of use the phone suddenly turned off with the battery being at around 35% and didn't want to turn on again. I read that old firmware (like the one that comes default with the phone) had battery display errors so I thought the phone had run out of battery, so I charged it for 8 full hours and I unplugged it now. To my surprise the phone is not turning on either. The only way I can make the screen show something is by connecting it to the charger, it vibrates and displays a white battery icon, eventually changing to fully green (fully charged battery, the green led indicator also appears) only to disappear like 3 seconds after. Can't turn the phone on while charged and can't even make the phone show the battery icon again (unless I unplug and plug again, repeating the cycle). So, what can I do to turn it on?
Thanks in advance.

I have a feeling that you did not hold the power button long enough. Disconnect the charger first, and wait for about 10 seconds. Then, hold the power button for at least 6 seconds. The phone should then vibrate and then you may release the power button. Other reasons why your phone may not seem to be turning on at all might be due to the back cover not being fully locked in, thus not making any contact with the power on the motherboard itself.
Do report back the results.

I did. Doesn't work. I also removed the back cover and pressed the power button with nails with no results either. Personally I think there's something to do with the power button as it doesn't even responds while charging (pressing it should display the battery icon) and the only time I could use the phone it didn't work to wake up the phone or setting it to sleep, only double tapping worked. What is strange is that it worked the first time I turned on the phone though.

Are you able to get into FastBoot mode? If so please try performing a hardware reset including wipe cache partition. Please see the following:

HTC 10 Unresponsive & Can't Restart But Alive

I hope I'm posting this in the right place but I'm desperate for help.
My phone, HTC 10, froze and then the screen turned off while I was taking a picture.
The charge should have been around 80%.
Symptoms:
The screen is unresponsive.
Couldn't get the home button/finger print sensor to turn the screen on.
Couldn't get the power button to turn the screen on.
A call to my phone could not reach my number as well.
When plugged in to a wall charger or laptop no indicator light turns on.
When connected to a laptop, the laptop makes that connection noise and a long name with QualComm in it shows up.
Tried Power Button + Volume Up for 10 seconds but didn't get any result.
Side note:
The power button was a little faulty before as well.
You have to squeeze it a certain way to make it work.
I need to somehow restart my phone. Any ideas?

Try to clean all buttons really well, if it keeps failing to boot and the phone is still recognized as Qualcomm it's probably bricked.
Simple explanation of the word bricked :
When the phone doesn't boot, when you can't access the bootloader, download mode or recovery it's bricked!

Strange turn of events: I plugged the phone to my laptop because I read somewhere that it drains the battery. Just for the kicks, after a few hours, I unplugged and re-plugged my phone. Suddenly, there was light. The battery light came back. I immediately switched to the wall charger and once I did that the battery icon appeared showing 1%. Now, it's peacefully charging away. Will see if it actually turns on later on once it's charged about half an hour.

One Plus-3 Black Screen. No LED No Vibration. Hardbricked?

So I had kept my oneplus3 on charge at around 10:00 Pm yesterday and fell asleep. Woke up around 12:00pm to see it was fully charged so I unplugged the charger kept the phone beside me and went to sleep. Today when I woke up I saw that the phone has a black screen and is completely dead. The LED light is not on. Plugged into the charger no response. Tried holding power button ..nothing. No vibrations or home button lights
Currently, there is nothing going on with the phone. No flashes on screen no LED. Absolutely nothing. Tried connecting to laptop (windows 10) dont see anything. It was working perfectly fine last night and i had used it for nothing but music then.
Question is.. is the phone hard bricked or completley bricked? what might be the reason? I searched youtube only to find 1 person with similar problem who had said that he kept the phone for 48 hours and when it was completely discharged he pluged in charger again and it started working.
I am confused. Have a lot of work documents inside and what if it stays the same after 48 hours?
Appreciate any help on the matter
update: Tried plugging in the charger a few min ago. The led turns red and Vibrates. Nothing else
Update 2: so after 24 hours of setting the phone aside. i plugged the charger and it went into charging. But now am facing a new problem. My bootloader is unlocked and the power button is busted hence whenever I press volume down and plug-in the charger it takes me to bootloader warning screen from where either it goes into charge or i press volume key and it goes into option which I again cant select cause power button is busted. Tried holding down the power button and connect to laptop(windows 10) no device detected and it works like normal charging. Tried to charge for a few minutes unpluged charger and start again .. it was stuck on oneplus screen. Any ideas??
