No response from power button or power+vol down. Looks like its going back!

Can you charge it up or just no response? Similar happened to my mate but it worked ok after he left it charging overnight.

Try connecting it to laptop via usb.. See if it power ons. If not, w8 for some time, try again. Does the red light light up when connected?

Litteraly just done this to my phone!! what i done, was unplugged it, then held down the power button, it restarted a few times then started working again!

There was no response when holding down the power button but he connected it to his pc and left it connected. No lights or any sign of life so he went out but left it connected, when he got back it works again! This phone is weird. I don't like not being able to pull the battery to fix major **** ups.

That's why you should really follow the instructions

True. Luckily I did and mine works fine. Hopefully he's learnt his lesson now, I doubt it though!

How long to charge out of box

Received my Gnex from the play store this afternoon. It's been sitting on the wall charger for about an hour now and the phone still does not power up. Do I need to be worried?

Does the battery charging icon show up while it's charging?

Heh...yes, the battery is indeed in the phone but that's a good thing to verify!
I tried holding the power button for 20 seconds. Then did the same with the power button and up/down volume buttons held in for about 20 secs. Nothing at all.

Uh uh there's somethig wrong. It should have powered right on up. Most batteries come with a 50% charge. I'd contact Google and make em exchange it.

Try plugging it into a PC. See if that works. You can also hold Volume up + power (could be volume down + power...) and that opens the device in recovery mode.
Basically just try anything you can to change the way the device starts up. Try a different power outlet as well. Failing all those... Yes; you have a problem. I would attempt to return the device. There are ways of fixing a bricked Nexus, but there are no easy ways of fixing a Nexus that won't accept a charge.
EDIT: Reason why I'm asking you to plug it into a PC is because possibly only the wall plug is broken.

Hmmmmm....okay so I took the battery out with it plugged into the charger (which is something I had not done yet) and when I put the battery back in, the charging icon showed up for a few seconds but the phone still wouldn't power on. So I took the battery out again with the phone still plugged in and reinstalled it. Battery icon came back and then I was able to power on with the power button.
Very weird and somewhat concerning but I guess I'll see how it goes here.
Thanks for the quick and helpful replies everyone.

HTC One X Won't Power On Or Charge

Hey, I got a HTC One X today and used it for about 2 hours, and after going into location settings the phone froze for a while, then eventually it switched itself off. I couldn't get it to switch on, and when I connected it to the charger, I noticed the LED was no longer lighting up when connected to the charger.
So I done some reading, and heard that if you hold the power button for 10 seconds, its basically the same effect as pulling the battery on other phones. So I held it for 10 seconds and the phone booted up, it got the the lockscreen straight after booting up, when I tried to unlock it, I realized that it was frozen again. Then after a while it powered itself off again, so I tried to power it on, once again it was not working. So I tried holding the power button for 10 seconds, this time its not working, no matter how many times I've tried it doesn't work.
The phone wasn't rooted, I never done anything to damage it, I read that if you hold the power and volume down it will go to the bootloader, where I would be able to factory reset the phone, but even after hold those 2 buttons, still the phone is showing me no sign of life.
What should I do?

try to put in under charging, is the led red?
if it is, wait 10-15 minutes and try to go into fastboot with power button and volume down, and do a factory reset, or fist you wipe all your things try again to boot it up, maybe it was just without battery charge. is your phone new? or it's secondhand?

The phone is second hand, but condition wise its practically new, there's doesn't seem to be any damage, and its still under warranty, the seller said that he never had any problems like this.
When you says "put in under charging" do you just mean charge it? If so I have done that with both the computer and the AC adapter, and the LED is not lighting up.

remove this post plz

Try plugging the phone into your PC via the official usb cable,
I know you've done that, but Whilst it's plugged in, press volume down & power at the exact same time and keep them held until your bootloader screen shows.
The good news is, I've had this happen to me - i just kept trying.

Tried this, didn't work, tried again to be sure. I can't believe I have such a nice looking phone infront of me and it won't even switch on.
Some people say leave it connected to your computer for about 10 mins, so I'm going to try this now.

Yeah, I you should be leaving it plugged in.
Next step is to get Android SDK installed on your pc, even though it appears to not come on, you might still be able to run a fastboot charging script that will force your phone into its bootloader.

I have SDK installed, used to use it for my G1, not sure if things are the same for the One X. But what your saying kind on sounds promising.
I will look around to see how I can force that, or do you already know how?

Update your packages on Android SDK
place the fastboot charging script in the same folder that fastboot is located on your pc
Usually: C:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
Double click the script
I have the script, it but won't let me share it to you.
It's on XDA though somewhere.

I'm looking for it, but I can't find it.
Doing a search for "fastboot charging script" doesn't find me much to do with it.
Would you be able to upload it to mediafire, or anywere else?

Ok, downloaded, and tried it now, but it only says waiting for device, so I guess its ain't being detected at all in this state.
The phone was connected for about 30 mins now and still the LED won't come on.

Leave the phone connected to the charger for a few hours. If it doesn't want to work, try pressing various combinations of volume and power buttons. Otherwise I suspect you have a brick.

Does you phone (charging light) give one blink after you connect it to charger.

I left the phone connected all night last night, and still the LED didn't light up, I tried every combination. I don't think its a brick because I wasn't doing anything at the time, and the phone wasn't even rooted.

Mine doesn't blink at all.
The thing I notice aswell after leaving it charge all night, is that it doesn't even get slightly warm. I can't believe HTC get away with releasing faulty crap like this. I had a 2 hour teaser before this started... Good job HTC.
Edit : Oh well, I gave up, I tried everything and anything and it wouldn't work, so I've sent it to HTC for repair since its still under warranty.
Edit2 : It took them a while, but there finished repairs now, and its on its way back to me. They replaced the Mainboard and the battery.

hello..just for sharing,.just now i woke up from bed and see that my phone cannot turned on.. you know what, during charging last nite, i forgot to off the screen(press the on button) so that my phone screen was kept turning on all the night,,.. i'd try to connect it with the charger but it still didnt work.no LED at all. after i read the comment from some of u, i decided to connect it to the PC .. fortunately, the red LED came out..
after wait for sometimes it was turning on..but sometimes can turn off back... its because of the bttery.. anyway, im so happy now.. hahha :laugh:

Desire doesn't power on

Hello,
I've searched all XDA and Google, but couldn't find a reasonable explanation of my situation.
I use my Desire as a replacement for my Sensation, as it is in repair now.
I rooted and flashed my Desire. Everything worked.
I decided to try the LeeDroid ROM. All OK, but just after the reboot, the phone fell on the ground and the battery flew aroud $#@%#
After that I have the following situation:
- Removing the battery and connecting the phone to a power source, flashes the LED Amber and Green.
- Introducing the battery again, the LED turns Amber for "charging"
- When I push the Volume Down+Power Button, the LED turns off and everything is black. No LED, no vibration or whatsoever
It's impossible to enter Recovery or HBOOT in general.
I read there was a trick to power on the phone with a "USB Trick", but couldn't find how to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502777
Is it Bricked, so impossible to revive? Obviously no warranty anymore
Thanks for your input.

Wrong place for this question... but let me help you, it could be because of the fall, i mean most probably... i'm sure about that...
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

I say that the display connector might have disconnected itself when the phone hit the ground. You should try to tear your phone down and see if the connector actually fell out.

OK, I will try to open the phone, but I think that doesn't explain why the power button shuts the LED off when pushed.
I have to look for the very small screw drivers

It all seems that phone works but your screen doesn't. Some connectors are disconnected or broken or your phone's screen is broken.

Don't try alternative, you'll ruin the screws. You can easily order it on e-bay and it's pretty cheap. I'm also sure you can find it in any hardware store, it's called TORX screwdriver.

Ok thanks!

I don't know what helped, but after repeatedly trying to switch on/off and connect/disconnect to USB power the phone booted again.
:laugh:
I managed to enter RECOVERY and flashed the Oxygen ROM and seems to work all fine and quick :good:
Thanks for you support :good::good::good:

htc one x red light flashing and phone won't start

I have bought a htc one X a day ago, which was imported from some eastern country. The phone ran well for an hour or something.. and after that, it just dropped dead. The battery was about 60% when it dropped dead. And when I charge, the red light keeps on blinking. It won't turn on, or the red light will not be stable.
When i try to boot into bootloader, the phone does go into bootlader. But I have to keep my charging plug on. If i remove even for a second. the phones switches off again.
I can't go to warranty as this is a replacement. Some guidence will be appreciated. Thank you.

1. Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
2. With the device truly OFF (NOT ON STANDBY) , push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button And HOLD for 2 minutes and let go once 2 Minutes has passed.
Doing this will calibrate the Circuit within the battery charging system.

If the phone doesn't power on & If the red led doesn't turn on while charging your phone then you should take it to service centre.. Might be a problem in battery or the motherboard

There is a batch file running about that helps charge from boot loader.
On phone so can't find it currently.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm currently in this situation myself. I read the thread suggested here, but it helps very little if you can't even get to fastboot. For what it's worth, I do have a custom recovery, but a stock image. And the mother board is okay - I've swapped in a different battery and that seems to work, but I do want to get my original battery to work...

guys i have a solution i guess .. put your phone connected to laptop or computer for several minutes dont remove . it might take sometime and afterwards you will listen the usb connecting voice and the blinking will stop and will be stable and then you can turn on the mobile

If you have a flashing power light
This is when your device has overheated and wont let you start up your OS.
Plug your phone in for afew minutes then hold down the power, volume up and down buttons at the same time untill a white developers screen comes up, disconnected your device from cable and click on recover and leave for a minute then plug you power lead back in and leave again. When you come back to you phone it the LED should be a solid color and you can then boot your device.
Any problems Message me, any time.
