[Q] Stuck at 0%, won't increase even if charging

So I had this phone for a while now its starting to act up.
I pretty much killed the phone to 0-1% then plugged it in to charge and left it for 8 hours (sleeping), I wake up and find it only charged 3%, wow seriously? I fiddle around with it and it goes back to 0%?
Problem? Anyone had similar issue?
P.S I did search first, couldn't find any...

Are you using a custom recovery ?

It's probably a dead battery or hardware issue. I'd go to your seller and ask him what to do. Most likely you'll get a new device!
TIP: Try to charge it through your USB-port in your laptop/pc, perhaps the power supply is damaged?

I've had this problem. It's not really a problem, and it's easy to solve.
Find a different charger, like an iphone charger (worked for me) but other chargers than the HTC One will work :-D

Its completely turned off now, im charging it but the red light just keeps flashing on an off, gonna leave it in for 1-2 hours and see how it is.

Okay, I left it for around 1 hour but the red light has stop flashing, problem?
Anyone? I tried another charger like the iPhone but same result... HELP!

Have you tried holding the power button down for 10 seconds, it equivalent to a battery pull, and then see if it will charge.
John.

are u using custom recovery?
Now, the CWM Recovery has a bug that the phone cannot be charged when power off
I've faced your situation, I got into bootloader, flash back the official recovery first through bootloader, try your phone can be charged when power off

I can't turn the thing on but I connected the usb via to the computer and the notification is blinking red, I assume its charging, the thing is yesterday I unlocked the bootloader (was at 95%), rooted it etc then started playing with it until it reached 1% and left it to charge overnight but it only went to 3% :/
Hopefully it charges fully after 8 hour of leaving it plugged in to computer while I go to work.

I would not leave you phone charging unattended, as lin-ion battery sometimes vent flames, when they are faulty and you don't want your house burning down.

Hmmm, I might bring it to work, but I can't get it swapped due to bootloader, fml.

That tip about plugging it into my laptop absolutely worked! I was panicking for a bit because my phone was stuck at the 0% boot screen and I thought it was bricked. But I followed this tip and it instantly started charging. Thank so much

Help! Phone won't boot up at all

So, I woke up this morning and I went to go check some messages on my phone, but when I checked, the phone wouldn't turn on. I charged it like I usually did and when I got to it, the blue led light was flashing. Not brightly, but just like it would try to turn on, but it can't so the light slowly fades away. I tried to hold the power + volume buttons (both up and down) but it still wouldn't do anything. Any help before I take it into sprint?

can you charge the battery? is the battery loose? I would take it to sprint and let them check it out.

Yeah. I think I might just take it back to sprint. But it won't charge at all I think.

Pull the battery and leave it out for a few minutes then try again.

I've done that and I actually start seeing the empty battery logo. But It's only for a second. I think there's a problem with the battery or the charger thing

Okay, My phone actually started up now. The battery is not charging though

Just kidding. It's charging. Anyone know if I should be worried about anything?

Are you using an after market charger?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Get a brand new quality USB cable. A HUGE amount of issues can be resolved by just doint this, believe me.

I was using the charger cable it came with but connected to my computer

well your computer USB port can only push 500mA out max. sounds like its undercharging your phone. the stock charger pushes 1000mA or 1A.

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.
Thanks

After doing reset\calibration of battery circuit we put phone on the wall charger and wait until green LED.

In most cases, must to change the cable or adapter, or both. I had the same problem twice.

Arc S Won't charge, replace usb port?

Hi! Last night i had like three percent battery when i left it for the day. Today, in the morning, the phone was dead. Now, i thought maybe there was a little bit of power left, so i turned it on. It worked for like 15 secs and then turned off again because of the battery running out. I went up and put it on charge and it didn't turn on ,the led just flashed red three times, repeatedly til' I released the power button. I have now tried with three different wall chargers, includin the original, and also two different usb-cables. Everytime, just the three red led flashes again. Is there anything i can do besides replacing the micro-usb charging port, and if that really is the only option, is it just soldering to replace it, is there any instructions. Btw i'm running CM10 (unlocked bootloader) if that helps. Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: Okay, it really seems like this port is indeed broken. Will try to replace it myself and see how it goes along.

HTC M8 Doesn't Boot, Red LED Flashing, Not Charging

HTC M8 doesn't boot red LED flashing not charging
Hi,
I have big problems with my HTC M8. It is 11 month old.
I is rooted, has 4.16.401.10 firmware, Android Revolution HD 43.0 and
S-off SunShine.
In the evening I put it on the charger with 61% battery left. The next morning it didn't start up anymore and the red LED was flashing.
The battery didn't charge and so long it doesn't boot up at all, I can't connect it to the PC. It is only shows the big battery sign when I connect it to the charger which disappears some seconds later.
I didn't want to send it to HTC for guarantee, because I couldn't put on stock software.
My lokal handy-doctor changed the battery... nothing!
He changed the USB connection... nothing.
The red LED keeps flashing, the battery doesn't charge, it only becomes warm, I cannot turn it on. I have tried to press the power-volume+ -volume- buttons, nothing.
I think HTC will charge me, if I sent it for guarantee, or does anyone have other experience?
What should I do? Any idea?
Greetz

Try holding the power and vol up for a long time, maybe a minute or so, and see if there is any change.

That was one of the first things which I tried. It has no effect.

Try power+vol up, and also power+vol down, with and without wall charger connected. I've seen a couple people have luck with that. Otherwise, if it still won't work, its pretty much bricked.
Especially since you've already had a new battery installed, it may be a problem on the mainboard.

Since you've had a 3rd party take apart the phone, replace the battery, and replace the USB port, your warranty is void.

I did that so many times. It doesn't help. I think its a hardware problem.

As you tried all the things I suggested with no luck, I agree its probably a hardware problem.
This would have been justifiably covered under warranty, since its a hardware problem. And since the screen doesn't come on, they wouldn't have known it was ever bootloader unlocked, custom ROM, etc.
But now that you've had a repair shop open it, it will be obvious to HTC the phone has been opened and they will probably charge you for repair.

From what I'm seeing, the M8 is only eligible if purchased after March, 2015 (which the OP did not):

This isn't the "same problem" unless you (like the OP) took it to a repair shop, had them replace the battery and then the USB port? I doubt it.
Posting "I have the same problem" is just lazy, and doesn't give us the proper info for anyone to properly help.
How did this condition come about, did you just find the phone in this condition? Or were you flashing anything or any other actions to cause this condition?
Plug the wall charger (not connected to computer) overnight. Then hold the power and vol up buttons for a minute or 2, and see if there is any change.
Also try a different charger and cable.

Ok, sorry for the lazy answer.
So, yesterday the phone works fine, when i go to sleep.
Today, the alarm clock sounds, I woke up, and when i take the phone, the screen is black. Therefore, it didn't work.
I used another charger and cables, but don't work.
The S.O is sense stock, only had custom recovery, but I never used.
If i plug it to the computer, isn't recognized.
Maybe, you can know any solution for that?
A lot of times, I try, with power + vol up and power + vol down, for around 20 seconds.

Thanks for all help, but my phone didn't change the red flashing.
I think I have to accept that my phone died the red flashing death. RIP

I try again yesterday, hold the 3 buttons of 1-2 minutes. After that, hold power and vol + for the same time and any signals.
If i use my PC, doesn't recognize, didn't install drivers, or something else.
