HTC One X not charging?

My HTC One X isn't charging, the red flashing light flashes red and green when i plug it in and continues to do that. Can anyone help me?

try volume and power and see if it resets it,
if not then you have a faulty battery or connection or something, return and replace

Mine just did that then. I have been using it while charging though and it's gotten quite hot. I suspect it's an overheating warning for me at least.

I've only gotten it to do it once. Was using the phone quite heavily. Perhaps more moderate use would not make it overheat during charge at least.
Mines charging fine now that I'm not hammering it..

The only way is to wait until it cool down, or use it on a cool room

Seriously? Is this supposed to be constructive?
Help a guy out, say you have the same issues or feel for the guy.
But what do yo mean with volume and power?
Do you mean go into recovery and delete batterystats?
I am probably gonna return my HOX.
I also have major screen flickering issues.
HTC have also said that there have been manufacturing faults

It's an HTC overheat warning - holding the power button whilst plugged in & selecting reboot should stop the flashing lights, then allow it to cool down for just a few minutes.
I've seen this, only when doing multiple benching.

Since you said that the phone meet the floor I can guess that may be a hardware fault. If with the phone off you connect to the charger an no reacction, you only can chek for another charger. Its OK if you use almost any usb charger, but the minimal power of the charger (see the label on the charger) need to be 750 mah, and the recommended is 1 A. (always at 5v). I use a asus nexus 7 charger witch is 2A, so I can handle charge and power consumption. Anyway. If your phone is not charging and you tried at least 3 chargers and 2 cables its time to open the phone. There is a guide on youtube (sorry I cant search for it right now), that show you how to open the HTC One X, so you can check the battery connection to the phone. Trty to disconnect and connect it again, and without reassemble the phone connect carefully to the charger and see what happen. If not charging and assuming that you dont have where to carry the phone, I would try to charge the battery pack outside the phone (3.7v Li battery charger) and then put it again on the phone and see what happen. I'm like 70/30 % that is the connector (30% that some on the mainboard broken)
Hope I help you

Since long time I had a problem with charging. I had it on charger and didn't charge. It said that I use more power than charger can give me. It was the same when the fine was off some times. It looks like charging but after some hours power was complete down. Be four some days it switched of batter and never opened again. Neither charging. I tried before some months and changed the battery but still had the problems. I tried yesterday to change again the battery and put the old one that had some power to take my files from mobile. I tried to put it to charger and the light goes green and red and don't charging. The fine has no power no and it's close again

[Q] charging?

i have noticed twice in the last week that when i take my phone off charge in the morning it has been dead... like it was never charging. is this a faulty device or is it common for everyone

doesn't sound right. check whats eating up the battery at night, might be a dodgy app but sounds like a dodgy battery

Sometimes if it's using a lot of power it will be drawing more than the charger gives and still use up the battery. Make sure there aren't any programs running or large amounts of data being transferred on data networks.
It's really bad to run the battery all the way down. If you can't figure out what it is, it may be worth sending it in for service/replacement.

That happens to me with bricked kernel, are u using it?

Id suspect faulty usb/ charger if they move ever so slightly on worn bad cords itl drop charge even tho it was chsrging when u set it down for the night
I know.i have about 5 extra chargers two of them do this everytime
Suspect a charger before u suspect a 600$ phone

okay, i have an update.. this is freaking weird. i have a video and picture of this for proof. the phone was sitting on my desk with the screen off unplugged from the charger.. and then the screen and charging light come on, followed by a beep, and sure enough the charging animation was there... but the phone wasnt plugged in.. i started playing with it and a message popped up saying the phone is using more power than the charger can discharge... 'BUT YOUR NOT PLUGGED IN' :S
i will take it back tomorrow and try for my 5th faultless phone :S sigh*

Has anyone else had an issue like the following
1. phone is off (0%)
2. Plugin charger
3. Red light activates (charging while off)
4. Random amount of time passes eg. 30 mins phone boots up by itself
???
Can anyone explain?
is the phone faulty or charger maybe the cause?

Your not really supposed to run the battery down to zero. It could be designed to boot automatically if the battery had been below a certain amount and it turned off due to that... Not that i have anything to back that theory up...

A Possible cause could be damaged usb port (charging port). Get it to service center.

Brand New One X - Dead?

Got my One X in the post today, plugged it in, been on charge for atleast an hour and a half but it's still dead
No signs of life, no charge light, can't turn on, can't enter bootloader
Anyone experience this?
Also the phone is stone cold, if the battery was charging I would expect it to get warm...

What cable / charger are you using ? can you try a different charger ? can you confirm the charger is ok on another device?

Yeh looks that way so that means no new phone for a week as I have to wait for them to collect it then send me a new one, can't just take it to a store which is stupid
Checked the pogo pins with a volt meter and it's reading 5v no problem so power is getting to the phone it just seems dead. No battery life and it won't turn on

When I got a replacement HOX from carphone warehouse that was dead too, but I left it plugged in for a few hours and it came to life.
If the battery has no charge at all it may seem like a fault.

Charger that came with it but checked dock pins to make sure voltage is present in the phone which it clearly is

Does sound dead sadly, should have some charge if it came new.
Does it get detected as anything by windows even if off?
Any repsonse if you hold down the power button and both volume buttons?

Mine did the same thing when it was fresh out the box. I just left it on sharge for a couple of hours and the charge light then lit and it powered up. The battery was just very flat on arrival.

Did your battery warm up though? This ones cold to the touch
I think it's dead so already called for a replacement but gotta wait for it
In the meantime I will leave it to charge overnight but I'm not hopeful at all, be better if we could access the battery instead of HTC going all apple on us

As I got my hox, it was fully discharged too, and it took ca. 30 minutes to bring it back to life...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

When I first got mine was at 15% battery, after 24hrs charging (original charger, laptop, Inc s charger...) nothing changed.
Ended up with a replacement but took optus Australia 3 weeks to replace it.

...
Try to change cable I have to do that because stock cable that came with phone is sh..t.One day just stop working.Now using NOKIA CA-101 and no problem at all fantastic build quality.With stock cable had that problem couple times

Even if it does not light right up, the battery should get warmer when charging. Like advised, try a different cable, if that does not work either, then there probably is no simple solution that you can solve on your own.

[Q] One X not charging properly

Hello guys, and thanks for reading this.
Today, I got my HOX from a brothers' firend who's been using it for a year and a half. The device is in almost perfect shape, and he's been using it since last week or so. He reseted it to factory settings and left it in a drawer where it "died". Let's start with a timeline of all the **** I've been through with this mobile just today:
1. I got it with battery level fully depleted, wouldn't even turn on. Put it on it's original charger in the wall socket, left it there for like 10 minutes. Turned it on - it turned off after 3 minutes of "work" while still plugged in the wall socket. (Wasn't getting nearly enough juice?) We then tried charging it again, but all we got was blinking red LED or no LED indication at all.
2. Left it plugged in the wall socket for like 1.5h, after which the red LED stayed on - not blinking. Tried to turn it on, it worked, the battery was at like 50%. Removed it from charging (stupid probably, I know). It's a new phone so I went to proceed downloading my apps and logging into all of my social accounts. No problems. Even listened to music for about half an hour to test out the speaker.
3. When the battery got down to like 15% I again plugged it into a wall socket. Everything seemed fine, the red LED was on and the battery indicator on the screen was "moving" from right to left, meaning it's charging. But it was not - soon the battery was at 5%. I left the phone alone charging and after 30 minutes it was even more depleted, on 2%. Turned it off, left it to charge for 1h. Came back, turned it on - still at 2%.
4. Thought about doing another reset to manufacturers' settings while I still could. Did it (with the phone charging on USB) and when it turned back on the battery was at 10%? WTF?
5. I thought the best thing to do was to deplete the battery completely which I did and left it on AC charging for a couple of hours. When I came back, the red light was blinking. I turned it on, and the battery was at miserable 2% again, just enough to turn it on.
Any suggestions or possible solutions?
Thank you for reading my BS, appreciate it. :good:

I had this problem and it was the charger so use another one.

The thing I forgot to mention was that we tested the charger on my borthers' S3 mini and it worked ok.
Anyway, thanks, will try that tomorrow when I get my hands on another charger, but it seems unlikely, seeing how it's not charging properly even via USB and how it charged the S3 mini ok.

That happened to me too. Tested my htc charger on a xperia s and works fine but plugged into my phone doesn't work. So i just use a sony charger and it works fine.

Another development in the story - it's not the charger.
I left it on charger (new charger) overnight, in the morining - 6%. Rebooted it - 90%. WTF
I'm on Android Revolution 30.1 and before it was happening on stock 4.2.2. - any ideas?
Also, should I be worried about CPU-Z showing that the CPU is constantly going from 5% to 70% load when absolutely nothing else is turned on on the phone? (exept sense, no apps from my end I mean)

Check for wakelocks and recalibrate your battery

Is the battery dead/destroyed?

My M8 has no feedback whatsoever, even plugged into the HTC brand charger, nothing happens. However, I plugged it into a 2.1A charger and got the little battery charging logo to appear, still no boot. Is the battery dead? This started happening after switching from CWM to TWRP, should I try to get the phone to turn on and switch it back to CWM?

Leave the phone on charger for several hours, then try holding power+vol up for 30 seconds or so. See if there is any change.

I'll definitely try it. It's not easy to charge this though, as the charging port is pretty broken as well. I put it in this angle and it charges (usually)

This a pretty relevant detail. Probably more the issue than changing to TWRP. And to answer that question, no I would not switch back to CWM, since its obsolete on this device and no longer really supported.

Okay so I've been charging it since my last post. I just turned it on and it claims to have 1%. But hey! It's on!

Thank you!! I changed out the cable I was using to charge the phone (I was using the stock HTC cable, grabbed some random Asus cable) and plugged the 2.1A charger directly into the wall (previously using an extension cable) and after doing what you said, just letting it charge for several hours and then turning it on, I got a 24% charge!!! I guess this means I can just never let the phone die if I don't feel like having this issue again. Thanks!! Now I have two high end android phones again!

Good work! It should have been said before to always try different chargers and cords if suffering charging issues. I saw you had tried a different charger, but missed the fact that you used the same cable. Charger/cable are not always the issue, but at least you can easily eliminate those as the cause by some experimentation.
If you again discharge the phone to shutdown, and doesn't power on after charging; you can usually: charge for several hours, then hold power + vol up until it boots.
But that being said, discharging the phone to shutdown should usually be avoided. Most all of us have done it at some time or other. But one should not make it a habit. There are safeguards that are supposed to prevent battery voltage from dropping too low (by shutting down the phone once voltage reaches a certain threshold) but those safeguards are not ironclad. And once the voltage drops too low, you can be stuck in a tough spot. Plus, fully battery discharge/charge cycles are not best for long term battery life of Li ion batteries. So again, discharging the battery to shutdown should be avoided as much as possible.

I seem to have this exact issue now too. Even with the way the charging port has to be for it to charge. Unfortunately it seems the port is messed up somehow now or maybe the battery connections are bad.
Though I'm technically able to pull it apart i haven't done it yet. Maybe it knows it's now getting old lol
Looks like it's time to upgrade to a new phone for me. :/

Try putting it while pulling down and to the right of the cable. I held mine like that for an hour or two to make it turn on. Once I did so I opened ampere only to discover that even when it says it's charging, it's actually not. I have to angle it or the left to make it get power, even though just angling it upward makes it say it's charging.

Yeah I've had it say charging on and off for the last day and a half. But it seems that when I hit the "sweet spot" it just doesn't stay charging and then quickly discharges any bit of charge.

Happened to me too. Legit hold it in your hand for about 20 minutes. Turn it on as soon as possible to monitor the amperage
