Do you have the original charger?
I bought a charger from China and it happened like that, but it doesn't happens with the HTC genuine charger.

It definately sounds like a charger that is not regulating the voltage properly. I would stop using the charger immediately and use usb from a laptop or pc. I have fried a few phones using the wrong or cheap chargers, tho old razr's were famous for that.

Are you experiencing the same problem when charging via USB on a computer?

My genuine HTC charger blow up at first charge :banghead: there are a few chargers issues with most phones are made in China

I've had problems when I was carrying a charger unofficial

Check the specs of a charger. It should be 1A, 5V if I remember right. It is not recommended to use charger with higher specs.

Do you use an original wire?

It's a kernel issue. No fix as of now.

This is not a cheap replacement battery without the proper charging circuitry problem?
Non-HTC Batteries have issues with the kernel. They cant communicate the attainment of 100% charge.

Flashing notification light

Hi, when I play games or watch movies on my one x it sometimes start to flash red - green on the notification light.

I was thinking this but I'm not too sure, I was wondering if the one x charger would have higher power output due to the beastlyness of the phone. I however never use it because it's short...use an old blackberry charger seems to take about the same amount of time to charge tho

Generally, those two circumstances tend to occur simultaneously!

Yup! Do NOT play games while charging...it is a sure way of pushing the thermal limits!

No, its pretty much an industry standard that micro usb chargers run 1A @ 5v
If the charger is really old it could be 800mA but not likely, easy to check though, just check between the pins on the plug

oh so its not overheating?
It's definitely overheating. I was watching an hd movie using sw code and charging (I had about 20% battery, so it was taking the whole amp), and the light began flashing. I quit the mx player and saw battery widget reporting 49 degrees Celsius and battery status was 'overheating' I have to mention though that I had my phone placed onto a pillow, so no chance of dissipating the heat whatsoever. I presume the same happens when you play a game and hold your phone. My advice is just to wait a while for the battery to go up enough, so the charger begins the slow cycle - then you'll be charging with a few hundred mA and it will be easier for the phone to handle the extra heat.

Well when the led flashed like that for me I was playing shadowgun and the battery dropped a percent over the time I was playing with it charging the whole time, but like someone said above both will happen. The phone was hot for sure
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Well I used to have overheat problems as well but I fixed it by doing a hard reset. My phone doesn't overheat as it did before the reset and I can easily play games on the phone while charging. Even after a hard reset, my phone easily hits 43 degrees though. Just thought to share this with you guys.

I used my touchpad’s charger which is a 2A charger and it charges twice the speed. So you can try using any tablet's charger for a fast charge..

Car Holder from MobileFun

Hi,
Has anyone purchased this car mount from mobilefun?
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/car-cradle-and-charger-for-htc-one-x-p35493.htm
Currently out of stock but I'm thinking of ordering - looks very similar to the Kidigi mount I've been seeing around.
Hoping it charges @ AC..
Cheers,
Danny
It is the kidigi mount. Handsfree version also available.
Oh great thanks.
I wonder if it will suffer from the same problem with charge not being AC

If you plug the phone in the dock before the charger shows ac. It still charges the phone so I'm not worried

I have one of these but i am going to sell it.
It doesnt charge the phone fast enough and the cig charger with the handsfree speaker is too big and is loose in the socket and keeps coming out

I guess it suffers from the same issue has the Kidigi version....hmmm....not much of a DIY guy, think I'll keep looking then, thanks.

How does this one compare to the official HTC car kit? Which is £50, but seems to be out of stock.
I have it and it works fine with me. You just have to put phone in dock first before the charger to enable ac mode
(like it says in instructions)

Charging with 5v 2amp possible?

He Lo, yesterday I bought a Google Asus Nexus7 tablet, with it came a nice charger, with a double amperage compared wit type original HTC One X charger. I'm wondering, can I als use it to charge my OneX wit this charger without damaging my phone?
Thanks for your comments and advices.
Philip
Hi there,
Yes, you can. I have a 5v 2A charger I use in the car and it charges fine, it does take a little longer than the mains charger but otherwise it works great!
Dave
Don't you have any knowledge about electricity? You can charge even with 100A charger, it merely states how much current it's able to provide. Device controls the amount of current it draws.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yes you can charge with it but you shouldn't, it can damage the device's charging components if the charger's voltage output not very stable(bad quality).
It can also heat up your charger and/or device.

Err... what? Are these Asus chargers known for bad quality or something?
It should be fine. It might take more time to charge, if the data pins are not connected to indicate a mains charger to One X.
yes you can !
I have similar charger for asus transformer and no problem with charging HOX .

That's somewhat harsh don't you think? What happened to the friendly helpful XDA community?!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yep, my HOX charges just fine on the 2A charger that came with my N7. It doesn't charge any faster, but then I wouldn't expect it to - if the battery in the HOX were able to charge at a higher current, I'm sure HTC would have shipped it with a higher capacity charger!

Does he have to? What's that attitude?
minus the attitude, Presterin is correct.
You're right, sorry about the attitude. But this has been discussed multiple times even on One X forums, and it's getting annoying.

what's annoying is people using that excuse 'its been discussed already multiple times' as a justification for the way you responded.
If you ignore my first sentence, didn't I provide informative reply? This is pointless and off-topic.

I have both and use them both interchangeably. Enjoy!
