Hi guys.
My brother gave me his HTC One X which he bought 2nd hand a couple of months ago.
A few days ago this problem occurred out of the blue. The battery is completely drained, and any time it's plugged into a power source (PC or AC adapter) the phone turns on for a few seconds, then dies. The red LED light is on during this period This process repeats over and over until the power is disconnected. I've included a video of the process here:
If I hold the volume down button, I can get into the HBOOT menu, but no matter what I press it stays at the screen in the below pic, and the phone turns off after a few seconds anyway.

}
If I leave it plugged in for a few minutes, the battery gets charged a little bit and I can turn it on for a few moments unplugged. Unfortunately it goes through the same motions. When I hold the volume down in this case, I get some options in the HBOOT menu as in the pic below.
Unfortunately I can't do anything in this screen, not even cycle through the options, and the phone reboots in a couple of seconds anyway.
I left the phone plugged in all night last night hoping that a charge could build up slowly so I could do something, but unfortunately it didn't make a difference.
If there's anyone out there that could help me with this I'd really appreciate it. I don't know if it's been modified or anything, my brother said he never touched it but didn't know whether it was modified beforehand or not. I've a suspicion myself that it's a hardware fault, hopefully it's something as small as a bad battery. What do you guys think? Much appreciated.

Download this go in bootloader and run the ChargeONEX.bat from cmd . Report back
Hi, thanks for your response.
when I run ChargeONEX.bat, it gets stuck on <waiting for device> because the phone won't stay on long enough to do anything. It just turns off after about 3 seconds.
If I'm doing something wrong please set me straight!
Thank you.

No in this case you can't do enything else. Try to hold down power button for longf time and see what will hapend. Try to go again in bootloader.
And you see only this Waithing for device?

Hi All,
I have experienced something wrong with my HTC one x (upgraded OTA). It is off automaticly when reached around 40-60% battery. it happens randomly but mostly around it.
when i turn on again, it is just start till the unlock screen and it suddenly OFF again.
I have to plug the charger first and start again to make it live.
when i checked the battery while charging from the sudden death. it is charging from 35% power which it means there is still a lot of power.
when it is charged full to 100% it is automatictly off again when reach around 40-60%. In these case it off at 65%, please take a look at my battery log at the attachment.
Does anyone experience the sama thing, please help me to figure these out.
thank you so much for the attention.

Uhm I'd suggest you try a battery recalibration, it might be some issue with the software! Try letting your battery drop to 0 % (I really mean that the phone falls out because of zero power, then reboot it untill it no longer reacts), then the phone is completely empty.
Then recharge it again to 100 % (let it charge for about 8 hours).
But to make sure you bettery just google "battery calibration" for a good guide on it!

thank you so much for the tips, right now i will try to make it really empty and charge. one question when it is already full should i unplugged the charger first and then calibrate or i just calibrate with the charger plugged on?
it is still happen and my phone shuts down by itself randomly around 40-60%.
is there any other solution i can do to get rid these battery case anyone?
Have you tried clearing Battery stats in recovery, then let it drain till the phone shuts down, then charge till full while the phone is still off... The LED will turn green once it's full...
If still same problem, charge till full again, turn on Airplane mode and run the battery test, on your dialer key in *#*#3424#*#*, click "Accept" then on bottom right tap on "More", select Battery test and click run
my battery pass the test but the status of it still error. it will shut down by itself when comes to 40-60% randomly. TT i have never experienced my phone low battery or red. it dead already around 40-60 so i should charge it.
I posted that then I saw your thread:

Hi guys, 3 days ago I bought this HTC Desire VC, its dual on GSM and CDMA. If I'm not much mistaken, it's only distributed on India and my country (Indonesia).
This phone was worked just great. Until I want to do a rooting process on it. I already googling it and found tutorial step-by-step (I'm just a rookie on this rooting stuff) on this awesome forum. The problem begin here. I started doing the process around 5 in the morning, Yes, early in the morning because I'm very excited. The first step is, removing the battery, put it back, then press the Volume Down + Power button. Then choose Fastboot -> Hboot. But after that, I needed to go to work! So I decide to do the rest when I got home in the evening, and just bring that phone to my office and use it as usual. Yes, I do realize now that what I'm doing that time was stupid, completely my own fault. A day uses (a normal uses), my battery decreasing (until around 40% or some), I try to charge it on its original charger. To my surprise, after several hours the battery won't charging (the screen and icon animated charging, but actually it doesn't. I check it on setting -> power, it keep on 40%). Thinking maybe the charger has a little trouble, I plug my phone via USB to my laptop, it keeps won't charging. Curious, I begin google it. It seem it has something to do with this fastboot stuff. Fastboot doesn't allowing the OS to charge the battery or something like that, CMIIW. And now, the battery has 0% in it. I found this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26212322&postcount=6 but it's too late, my phone can't turned on at all. If I connect it to my laptop or plug it to wall-jack, the animated charging battery showing up, but it keeps 0%, won'tt charging. The power button doesn't work (I think because it has no power left), Vol Down + Power neither.
My plan tomorrow, I will charge my battery via universal charger (I don't know what's it called), here is the screenshot:

Try asking in the Desire VC section. This is the Desire (Bravo) section. You'll probably get an answer there.
This may sound like a stupid question but I bought this watch a day ago and I still can't find a way to use it. It's ridiculous.
At first it won't power on as per instruction provided in the package. So I let it charge and it powered on automatically only to start discharging while charging. Then it turned off because it discharged on the charged... Somehow I managed to charge it by manually powering off the watch every few minutes.
So then I paired it with the phone and 15 mins later it got unpaired. I found out I can't pair it again - I must reset. Eventually it paired again, however it kept discharging while on the charging station. I turned airplane mode on, then I turn it off and eventually it charged. Then I immediately initiated the the firmware update to download and somehow I was able to update. So now it charges and discharges fine.
I've never in my life have seen any device be so hard to setup and get going - and I'm an engineer - I can only imagine how normal users keep returning those because they are not usable.
Sorry for the long post but back to my stupid question. How do you guys use this watch. It is totally unusable.
1) I can't use any apps. I'd say "Ok google, show me my steps.". The app will load I'll swipe to see the next screen and in less then 2-3 sec the screen turns off.
2)I tried "Ok goolge send an em..." and the screen turns off. I tried again "Ok google send an email". It asks to whom and while I speak the name - the screen turns off.
Why is ti turning off while I'm in the middle of answering a questions? I tried and tried - I was unable to use anything.
I tried the navigation while driving - very bad idea - I almost crashed my car. It will show me the direction like- go left on whatever and then turns off immediately. I look at the watch again - but no more directions - it don't care that I want direction...
I'd appreciate some tips from users that had the watch for a longer time.

The fact that you are unable to charge it as expected tells me that you have a defective device. Get it exchanged now. Don't bother trying to figure out why you can't set it up or use an app etc.
Yeah. I should have read the other threads before posting. I'm going to return it to BestBuy for a refund today.
I wonder if I should claim it's defective or that I simply can't understand how to use it and don't want/like it anymore?
I you just bought it, tell them it don't work and exchange for a new one. Otherwise, you're just causing problems for somebody else if they shelf it for resale again. There's a reason they have exchange/refund policies.

Yep - returned it as broken
I didn't get a replacement - I'm afraid it'll have the same issues. Feels like it was a software bug so I'm not taking more chances. Perhaps it doesn't work well with Android 5.1 yet.
I'll wait for a newer model.
What phone were you using?
Mine lasts for days and days, I have found that some watchfaces can take a chunk out of my battery.
But if its not turning on and you have reset it the exchange it or get a refund. I can't live without mine, so useful and handy. Besides it looks good ?
I do not think you know what you're talking about OP. But I do agree your device had to be defective, which does suck.
It's broken, I doubt the other replacements will do the same thing

The glass is so easy to get broken.Any protection for it.
Yes, I got a tempered glass protector at bestbuy when I bought the watch. No idea what brand it was. Hard to center because youre putting a circle inside a circle.

HTC One M8 (Google Play Edition). It just updated to Android 5.1;
I ended up buying the Moto 360 again. Got it from T-Mobile like 30 mins ago.
Yet again the watch wont start out of the box.
Charging it - I hope this one doesn't discharge while on the charger. We'll see...
EDIT: Yes this one works very well. The old one probably had some sensor broken.

I had the same thing happen (the not turning on/charging thing) when I got mine. There will also, apparently, come a time when it drains abruptly then not turn on. Then you have to charge it for at least 5 hours, hold the power button down for 30 seconds, release and hold down again. Still, when it's working it's pretty neat.

I managed to fix the charging issue but the device was unusable. It would turn the screen off randomly in the middle of command.
The new one works great. It too had no charge out of the box but it charged to 30% in like 15-20 mins and then turned on by itself.
So I've had my zenwatch for about a week now and lastnight it was working perfectly fine but this morning I woke up and my screen was black. I placed it on the charging cradle (which normally triggers the screen to turn on) this time nothing happens, the white charging indicator light on the cradle lights up but the screen does not cut on. I've tried holding down the power button, cleaning off the charging prongs, even using the usb of a pc for trickle charging but nothing seems to wake the screen up. Has anyone else ran into a similar problem? Know of a possible solution?
Thanks

If the battery is totally flat it can take a while to show signs of life. Leave it on charge for half an hour and see what happens.
Left it on the chargwr for 8 hrs last night. Still no sign of life. Its so weird i have only had the watch for 1 week and its in perfrct condition. It just wont cut on.
Did you get an answer to this as I'm now in same position
Same thing has now happened to me!
Maybe they have a self destruct ready for Zenwatch 2 release! Will have to get my Moto out of hibernation when I get back home....
I am not sure but I think your watch is dead. One of my friends was using the Zenwatch and he has faced the same kind of problem. He couldn't get back his watch. You can contact with customer service.
Bug bug bug
Same problem happen to me... after 2 month of usage (updated to 5.1.1)
Accidentally my watch wont charge anymore until the battery running out
If I put my watch on charging craddle with original travel charger, the white led indicator of craddle turn on but my watch still won't charging and the screen just black... no vibration, no display, no sign of life... try to press power button as long as I can.. doesn't help...
Is this hardware defects or just software problem?
Anyone has solution or fix for this?
It is so weird..
Same issue. didn't charge it for a week and now wont show any signs of life even after leaving it on the charger for days. also tried holding the reset button for minutes.
Hi,
just recently I had the case with ZenWatch from Asus, which was shelved for one year. After connecting to charger screen stayed black and watch was vibrating (short vibration every two seconds).
This is typical fault of COMPLETELY discharged battery. Had such cases with telephones before. By experiment I found the way long time ago. You have to "initiate" or "ignite" battery. In case of telephone batteries take out battery, use old USB cable, clean wires from insulation from one end (opposite to male plug). Use black (-) and red (+) wires as 5 V supply. Identify + an - on battery. Prepare your phone, watch charger for charging. Touch end of + wire to + contact on battery/watch and - to - accordingly for about 20 - 30 seconds. After that quickly put battery to phone or watch to charger and normal charging will start. Be careful not to make any short circuit with wires or wrong terminals.
I made it many times and always successful. In case of Asus Zenwatch proper contacts are these corresponding to first two pins of charging cradle from the side of USB connection - outer one is ground (-) next one is +.
Good luck!
Happened to me recently after washing my watch. Turned out there was a little bit of water inside and after drying it, it powered up and started to charge properly again
I've recently had the same problem. When I connect the charger, the watch vibrates once then does nothing. Screen stays black no matter what I do, and I've left it charging for days now

After i upgraded to 5.0.1 this happened 2 times in a row, i used it for 1 to 2 days normally and I was able to load, but when the cell phone unloaded this error happened "BATTERY IS TOO LOW". The phone is 24 hours in the charger and does not leave this screen "BATTERY IS TOO LOW". I already tried to change the charger and the cable, but it did not help, if you keep pressing the POWER BUTTON it turns off it turns off the SCREEN. Pressing the POWER + VOLUME UP BUTTON or POWER + VOLUME DOWN button does nothing. I can not go to TWRP, so the phone does not come out of this error! Somebody help me?

Have you tried a non dash charger? Perhaps try the unbrick guide next or contact Oneplus.

From the looks of it. YOur battery is dead and will not accept a charge. This happens when people over charge the battery or constatly use them while they are pluged in. Time to get a new battery.

Over charging is not a thing anymore, right?I get that keeping it at 100% increases stress on the battery and additional wear but it never should destroy a battery.

Not unless the device has a bypass mech built in. Like some laptops these days. Leaving a device plugged in all the time degrades the battery. You increase the stress on a battery long enough and it will fail. They were not made to be on the charger all the time.

Have you tried reverting? Just because this comes up after that doesn't mean it's not damaged. Try reverting and see what happens.
Did you slove it ?
