First off Happy New Years to everyone. Last night after returning home from our church's NYE service I decided to reflash my phone. The last thing I remember was using Viper's superwipe to wipe my phone (which i normally use and by NO means am I saying his software caused this). I woke up this morning and saw that the phone was off the charger and dead. I didnt think it was a problem so I put the phone on my charger and stared getting ready for church. I am now noticing that the orange charge light is blinking orange (it has for the past hour) and when I attempt to turn the phone on, nothing happens (usually after an hour and the phone being turned off my phone is charged or at least will turn on). I believe I remember seeing somewhere before about not flashing your phone with a low battery as you could brick your phone that way....did I do that when the phone died as I thinking I dont have a ROM on my phone since I flashed and thats the reason it wont turn on...is there a way I can get my phone on again or do I have to take this to Sprint (which im little worried about since it is rooted). Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and again Happy New Years
Mods please close this as I was able to resolve the issue. Thanks

So what did you do?
From the sound of his issue, he probably let the phone charge. At times the battery can get quite low on an Evo and can take some time to charge especially if you use an aftermarket power cord. (One lit supplied By HTC.)

Got my One X on Friday (no sim card as the company I got it from had forgotten to send them out with the phone)
Have been playing around with it most of day yesterday, putting few apps on etc, haven' used it for games.
Last night when coming out of apps and going back to home screen was taking a while to display (kept saying "loading"), eventually home screen appeared. this happened a few times, I then tried to put a widget on screen and it just froze on loading and gave me a message to sat "Sense had stopped working" and then restarted. Thought I had best restart the phone so tried using the restart option and nothing, so went for switch off, which it did and now will not reboot.
Phone did feel a little hot on the back by the camera but did not think too much of it, when I try to turn on the phone I get the HTC screens then as soon as the homescreen comes up before you can unlock it the phone vibrates and shuts down.
Left the phone over night without charging it and is still the same this morning.
Have tried Factory reset, still no joy.
Led notification is flashing red/green constantly if you plug into charger.
Having read some about this on other HTC phones it seems my phone has overheated, but surely should have cooled down now after being off all night and not on charge (am in the UK so excessive hot weather is not the cause )
Finally received the sim card in post this morning so tried putting that in, still no joy, think I am going to put in in the garage as its really cold in there.
Any ideas before I send it back. I think its knackered.

The blinking leds means your phone is overheating, you better not use the phone while charing (until the problem is fixed).
The reason why sense 4.0 might be crashing all the time is because of the widget, if you use a Calender Widget it keeps crashing until you remove it! Try to remove all your widgets and see if that solves the problem.

Thanks for you ideas but.........
Cannot use the phone on charge or otherwise, will not boot up past the HTC screen, widget will already be gone as have factory reset the phone, not sure how long it takes the Phone to cool down but has been off and in a cold room for over 12 hours now, so don't it will resolve itself. An option for other HTC phones is to take the battery out to reset the problem, but this is not an option on the One X, just wondered if anyone had any ideas.

You didn't do any rooting I assume ?
The device is probably damaged in some way, I'd say take it to the seller and see what he says. I haven't read these issues before so they are not a known problem... Probably a hardware problem ?

This is not normal. Phone should cool down completely in a matter of minutes, not hours. If it's overheating to such an extent that you can't use it, it is faulty.

Nope haven't rooted.
I think that the phone is faulty so back it goes then. Tried ringing the company but they are not open on a Saturday so will have to wait to see if they are open on Monday now (but this is a Bank Holiday) but we will see.
Thanks for your thoughts

Just a quick update
Phone has now been off for 24 hrs, in a cold room, tried to switch on this morning still no luck cannot get past the HTC screens. Put it on charger and still showing led notification that phone is overheating. Boxed it back up, it is going back tomorrow and want a replacement
This is making me think do I want the One X with these overheating issues

I have the same problem about the loading, gonna try to remove the calendar widget; however Sense never crashed.
The heating your phone is experiencing is probably because it's faulty.
Sometimes mine becomes hot too, but in a bunch of minutes cools down.

Well, I never had so many loading screens and with ARHD rom this problem is completely gone because the sense is entirely loaded in memory. Anyway disabling the background activities breaks the multitasking which i consider bad because i found usefull the ability to switch between apps.

Got my replacement, had it a week now with no issues at all. Deffo something wrong with the last one, this one seems quicker and doesn't get so hot on the back where the camera is. So far so good. No screen flex problems......very happy bunny. Love it
Giving new phone is only a placebo effect. Because all HTC one x's overheat with high usage.
As soon as the CPU starts bursting more then 50% on only a 1000 MHz (max is 1500) then the phone starts heating up to over 53 degrees. At the point of 48 degrees reached in minutes the LED starts flaching red and green rappidly. when boosting up performance the battery will eventually reach 63 degrees celcius making it almost to hot to hold on to. Most apps crash when the 53 degrees is reached.
I havent tested a 100% CPU load on 1500 MHz but im guessing eventually the battery will burn, damage the unit beyond repair.
I have tested this on 3 different one X's from 3 different places, they all have this problem.
When you play tegra zone games like dungeon defenders it will take about 15 minutes to reach 48 degrees starting to make the led flash, warn for overheat. this game uses 50% of the CPU on aprox 1000 MHz.
I really dont wanna know what happens when you play a game wich uses 100% of the CPU on 1500 MHz...
This happens with and without charging. Wich makes me wonder.. Why they put in a CPU that uses so much power it burns down the battery and overheating it even on 50% CPU usage. This way there is absolutely no way the full power of the one x can ever be used without active cooling it. If you can use only 1000 MHz on 50% max what use is it to put in such a powerfull CPU, and games that will damage the phone.
For the record... Li-ion shouldnt be exposed to temps of 63 degrees for a long time. they will age in days, if not leak, explode or burn.
unbelievable that HTC made such a crappy device!
Not to mention that the battery dies in minutes when CPU uses full power.
to see your temp battery, cpu usage, cpu frequency and much more, download Cooltool in the playstore. its free. it can be custimized big time and root is not required
When a Li-ion battery is exposed to 40 degrees or higher the capacity will be reduced to about 35% a year. The one x becomes 50 degrees easily making the capacity drop even bigger. When using the phone allot above the 50 degrees will make you end up charging the one x multiple times a day after one year
Hello! let's just cut to the chase. I need help..
Couple of days ago I got tired of waiting for the new ota for my phone so I decided to root.. unlocking bootloader went well, installed newest cwm, made a backup of my rom and chose renovate 3.0 as my first rom to try... everything works normal and I update the faux kernel on the rom to version 5b01.. all works normally at this point.. I play games, listen to music, surf the web.. yesterday I then updated the kernel to 5b03.. I went playing dark knigt rises (btw a very good game) and the phone heats up pretty much (which I think is normal as the game is quite heavy and I use wilkyys game booster app). I play about 15minutes and I get the message that the battery is running low, I plug the charger in and continue.. five minutes go and the phone freezes and the screen goes black.. the phone is connected to the charger and the charging light blinks red.. the phone won't start, even when pressing the power key for 10seconds. I can get to the bootloader and recovery _when_ the phone is connected to the charger thou.. if I unplug the charger the phone won't do anything. I search the problem on xda and find some threads about similar problems.. eventually after changing from the wallcharger to the usb charger on my pc (did this many times..) the red light goes solid and I press power and the phone boots normally.. weehee I made it!! or so I thought..
Next day: I woke up and the phone was in charger all night. Battery reads 100%. I load "system tuner" and experiment with undervolting my phone (only -50mv) and run some benchmarks and everything seems working.. I start to download an app from the play store.. the phone freezes and again the same flashing red light is to be seen, I thought it could be because of the undervolt but I'm not sure anymore.. and now I haven't got the phone in working condition.. I have now got the phone in recovery for about three hours and there should be enough juice for it to start but it wont..
I also restored my backup but that didin't help.. with the getvar battery-voltage command it reads about 2500mv which should be enough to atleast power it on?

2500mv is far too low for lithium ion batteries. There are protection mechanisms in most lithium ion batteries that will trigger at 2.7volts or lower putting the battery and its protection circuitry into deep sleep.
From the battery university: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries/
Li-ion should never be discharged too low, and there are several safeguards to prevent this from happening. The equipment cuts off when the battery discharges to about 3.0V/cell, stopping the current flow. If the discharge continues to about 2.70V/cell or lower, the battery’s protection circuit puts the battery into a sleep mode. This renders the pack unserviceable and a recharge with most chargers is not possible. To prevent a battery from falling asleep, apply a partial charge before a long storage period.
If this is the case you may not be able to recover easily. We can only assume something went wrong with the phones firmware that caused it to deeply discharge and now protection measures have kicked in.

Phil
hmm.. thanks for the answer.. last night I got the charging light to stay solid when I plugged the phone in and I was so happy.. but I was so stupid and tried immediatly to turn it on.. it even started and got to the quietly brilliant screen, but died pretty soon and the red light started blinking again.. then I realised I should have kept it charging for a while before trying to turn it on... god damn it..

When lithium batteries are deep discharge (below 2.7volt) changes take place which can cause short circuits in the battery, recharging then becomes dangerous, hence the battery goes into a form of safety mode, it's like a fuse blowing. It may never take a charge again, or if it does, the battery life will be less than before.
Hope it recovers okay however if it really did hit 2.5volt it could be permanently damaged now.
Regards
Phil
mine was doing that for a while. Keep it plugged in, if the wall charger doesnt work hook it up to a computer. it will turn on again...
simple keep the phone on charge for few hours and dont touch it.
Ok back to the problem.. the phone was in charger yesterday for about 12hours.. and still won't show any signs of recovery.. blinking red light continues... I might just have to accept that I have to send it in to repair... sigh.. and I think I have to pay for it..
As I said in my first post I have restored a nandroid backup of which I made as soon as I installed cwm.. so I should be at stock firmware? allthou I can't confirm it as I can't get the phone to boot but cwm said restore was succesful.. next step is to install original recovery and relock the phone, am I correct? so next question is.. is there anyway to do this as everytime I try to flash something with flasboot I end up with "failed: low battery"...?

I've experienced this kind of problem when I drain the battery flat; naturally, I crapped myself like everyone else since there's no easy way to remove the battery like you would for any other phone.
All I did (and still do) when this happens is hold the power button until the main buttons flash white a few times, let go and it should reboot the phone..
two minutes pressing power button, nothing happens

Try holding vol down + power until you get a response, then try holding the power button again ..
for me the key was to get the buttons to flash white, thats when i knew things were gonna be ok! :highfive:

Tried that :/ won't work.. as my phone doesnt restart with the script.. only way to get a response from it is to press power and vol down when in charger...
Thanks for the suggestion thou.
all right.. quick update.. I have sent the phone in for repair.. so just waiting for the repair bill
Ok... update (don't know if anyones interested..) Today I got at txt message from my carrier that the phone is now ready.. and what do you know.. it was covered by warranty. They changed the motherboard and the screen module (I had one dead pixel) needless to say Im pretty happy now.

Don't you just love it when that happens.
I had a rooted phone and my warranty was probably void. A week ago I dropped the phone screen first onto a concrete floor and I expected the worst. Picked it up and turned it on and to my surprise, the screen hadn't cracked. Used it for 5 minutes and it worked as it normally would. When I got back home and wanted to make a call, the screen wouldn't turn on. The lights for the buttons would light up but the screen would remain blank. Calls and texts would come through so the phone worked, just without the screen. After about 10 minutes of tinkering, the screen turned on and I heaved a sigh of relief thinking all was normal again. But when I locked it and tried unlocking it, the screen refused to turn on again. At this point I assumed there would be a loose connection between the MB and screen.
I took the phone to a few repair shops around here to find out how much they would charge and I got quotes around $200. So I decided to try taking it to the vodafone store to see how much it would cost to get HTC to repair the phone. The guy over the counter inspects the phone and finds no physical damage to the screen and says that they'd be glad to replace the phone right then and there at the price of me losing all my data as that would be unrecoverable. I told him I'd be glad to have a replacement on the spot. So in the end, I guess I got a good deal.
Lucky you !

I had the same problem last night:
phone charging with the HTC wallcharger, alarm set.
the device did not ring: it died during the night.
At first, impossible to boot (rom or hboot) or to charge it. I plugged it on my PC and the red light started to flash. One hour later, it was still flashing, so I tried to turn it ON
It turned ON but repported 2% battery only. (ok, that's why it was refusing to boot)
4 hours later, ON and plugged to the HTC wallcharger (that I verified of course), it was still 2%
After three reboots, plug/unplug several times, suddenly battery displayed 44% instead of 2%
Battery monitor repports that indeed, the device charged for the 1st part of the night, then suddenly and very quickly discharged to 0 while plugged, with no particular app to drain the battery.
During the 4 hours it was plugged and ON, it remained 2%, then a sudden 44% after a reboot.....
What the hell is that???? I've now cleaned cache and battery stats in recovery and I'm letting it charging to see if it goes above these 44%
Weird, I really thought my battery had just died....
EDIT: 2 minutes later, it now repports 46%, so seems to charge correctly. But I need to know what happened, I usually relay on my phone alarm to wake up, and if it happens again, it could be a real problem. Maybe I should flash an other recovery, even if I never had a single problem with it?

I have drained battery, been charging all night with a flashing red LED. No response. Now when I plug it in it still flashes red. When I hold the power button (also power+volume down) the main buttons start flashing white, but no response from the phone whatsoever.
When I let go the power button during the flashing, the lights either go out or stay on..
Any ideas? Thank you!
Howdy, guys.
I've got my One rooted, unlocked, and was running a CM10.2 nightly build. Everything was working fine until yesterday, when my battery started to rapidly discharge. I woke up with 100% battery, and after about 15 minutes of playing music it was down to 30%. I recharged it and started noticing rapid battery loss, about 10% per 15 minutes when the phone was idle.
Worried that this had to do with my ROM, I flashed the Eclipse Google Play Edition v1.2 ROM. However, the drain issue continued. I decided to let the phone fully discharge, then try powering it up again.
When it was fully discharged, I tried plugging in the phone. No LED came on and I couldn't turn the phone on. I've let it sit for over 2 hours now with the same result.
Some posts with similar symptoms have mentioned plugging the phone into a Windows PC and experiencing the "USB device plugged in" sound alert. I am not having any such luck, and what I currently have is a very aesthetically pleasing paperweight with no function whatsoever.
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue, or found a fix?
none
I would take that back to Verizon were i you, sounds like a bad battery to me, chances are remote that it's the phone/hardware/software. they have to repair it despite the fact it's rooted, they probably wont even notice lol
Were it me, back to verizon we go
Last Sunday, listening to music with HTC One (bought on Sep 11) on the charger, it suddenly went dark. Would not reboot, no charge light either. Went to a VZW store, they're shipping me a warranty replacement.
I wonder whether my habit of leaving it charger-connected whenever it's sitting on my desk (i.e., way beyond the fully-charged point) somehow stressed the battery (or the charging circuitry) -- though that habit never impacted my two previous HTC models.
When you hold Vol+Down and Power do your home and back arrows blink? If so, point the phone sensors (the two on the front on the left hand side) into a bright light. Then hold down Vol+Down and Power. It should boot. I'm not sure why. But it worked for me today after installing a custom recovery. -shrugs-

I've got a replacement being shipped to me, and I'll send them the old one when it comes in. Currently using an old Samsung Stratosphere as a replacement, I was just hoping there'd be an easier fix or something simple. Thanks, though!
I have a N5X, unrooted, bootloader locked, 7.1.2 stock. It happened twice in the last week, the phone used to work perfectly before that. I just pick it up as usual but it doesn't turn on anymore, I tried multiple times to boot it normally or in bootloader mode but nothing happened; then the next morning I plug it into the wall the led flashes red and it reboots normally. I thought it could only happen once but it happened again yesterday night and as usual this morning it booted up. Does anybody know what the problem may be caused by? What can I do? The phone still has warranty and if no solution is found I'll send it back to Google. Sorry for my english.
I have had the exact same problem, mine only occurs when the phone is ran down to 0% and powered off. I never let that happen but I have a 3 year old son who repeatedly does it, and every time i hold my breath, praying it will come back on. Well i am holding my breath and praying once again this morning,hoping it will power back on. Do you think it could be some kind of "protected mode"to keep the battery or something else from overheating or whatever?

If you need the phone and are confident, try unlocking the bootloader, reflashing stock factory image and relocking the bootloader again. You will lose all the data, though.
If you can live without a phone for a while, just send it to Google/LG. Nothing else one can do imho.
When my phone was in the last steps of dying (eventual bootloop), I could disconnect the battery and it'd get farther through the boot cycle, or even once booted. Basically, after it wouldn't react to any buttons or combos, I would disconnected and reconnected the battery. Then I could give things another shot. So I'd start it, it'd make it to the colored circles, or I could boot to the recovery menu, and try some things, but at some point it would go black. Then it would not react to anything unless I disconnected the battery. Then it would react to the buttons again and eventually one of the steps would make it go black. And then take a disconnect to get another try.
It sounds like your phone may be close to dying.
By the way, I only opened it up since I was past the warranty expiration date, and LG extending the warranty to about 18 months wasn't a known thing at the time. It is actually easy to get everything apart, but hard not to make dings in the plastic cover even using plastic tools.
I would say, back up everything you can from it and expect it is going to get worse. Redoing the OS didn't save mine.
