M8 died? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here's a weird one. Plugged my wife's M8 into the same car charger we've used for a year now and as soon as she plugged it in, the phone starts the shut down animation. The problem is that it will not boot back up and the red led doesn't come on when connected to a charger. I've tried all the different button combinations and it does not boot.
Anyone have any suggestions? Is a battery replacement or charging port replacement in order?

It happened to a colleague of mine in the office. Exercise some patience, it will come on on its own after several hours.

I should follow up.
This happened last night and still wasn't working this morning. So i had given up on it.
I have already removed the casing multiple times to change colors of the phone so opening it wasn't a problem. I simply disconnected the battery ribbon and put it back and the phone started right up. Wife happy, I'm happy.

Good, it's sorted out

Empty DHD not charging, not powering on, no led.

Hello people
A couple of hours ago, my phone shut down due to empty battery. I came home, plugged it in and booted it, all was fine. At about 60% I shut it off and went to have lunch, when I came back and tried to turn it on, I couldn't.
Led was orange at the time, I unplugged the power cord but the led stayed on! I removed the battery to be able to reboot it, but when I re-inserted it I still wouldn't boot.
Now no matter how I try to charge it, led stays off like it's not charging. Tried various different cables/chargers, the same. Tried to plug it to the charger without battery but no led flashed. Tried to boot without sim/sd card, still the same.
Any ideas?
My battery has never been changed (for a year now) and has had a bunch of full drains. Could this be a dead battery? :/
Well seems the phone is fried... I tried two more official batteries and no go...
Sorry to hear it. I thought that at first when I read your thread but I thought because I am not the most experienced person here, there might be some kind of fix.
HTC will most likely if not certainly replace this handset for you, seeing as it just happened out of the blue.
Well I certainly hope so, problem is I suspect it's an import (from another European country) and local HTC service generally does not do well with European imports.
Anyway I'll give it a try, meanwhile I'm getting a sensation soon
I have a similar problem.
I'm lucky that my girlfriend has the same handset as I do, the I could compare the phone abnormal behavior tho that of her properly working phone.
The first thing I've noticed, after a while when the charger was attached, was that the phone is very hot and that the battery keeps draining out in a surprisingly high rate.
After a while I've noticed that even when the phone is turned off it wont recharge. Sometimes the Orange LED is on when recharging while it is off, and the LED stays on for a few seconds after removing the charger, as if it was still charging. Note that the affects of connecting the charger to the phone, are mainly the ones listed below (not necessarily altogether)
* The phone indicates as if it recharges.
* Going to an infinite loop of rebooting and crashing.
* Getting hot when power supply is plugged, or at any time when the phone is turned on.
Ultimately the battery was empty, and the only way I had to keep using the phone (mostly to diagnose the symptoms listed here) was to swap the battery with the one of my girlfriend's device, and charge my battery in her device while using her's. That's the place to mention that the battery works just fine and that the phone is draining any battery, no matter what.
I took it apart to have a closer look at the source of all of the heat emitted while the phone is turned on, and it seem to come from the motherboard itself.
That's all I have.
The worst thing is that a friend of mine who helped me opening it up broke the pcb of the volume keys. Now I checked and It turns out that that pcb is actually part of the flex cable, which sort of extension of the motherboard and is mainly the second most important piece of hardware of all the phone parts (not that there are so many). If I would be able to expose the conductors inside the flat cable I might be able to solder an alternative volume pad I'll make out of old some miniature switches I have. The cable is very thin. any Ideas of how to expose the relevant conductors without ripping the cable apart?
Just a (late) update:
It's been almost two years, I had given the phone to a close friend of mine after a couple of weeks since writing the first post, just in case he could resurrect it, nothing.
Then, a couple of months down the road, the phone suddenly woke up! He tried to connect it with the charger, after months of not being able to charge or boot it up and somehow it worked. And it has been working flawlessly ever since.
I just got it back to give to my girlfriend until her sensation is fixed, flashing Viper now
In case something like this happens to any of you, don't give up!

[Q] Charging issue that defies common sense...

I searched here and google and found various charging issues but none quite like what I am seeing. The night before last, I plugged my A100 in before bed like I normally do and saw the power light turn orange. In the morning, I unplugged it without even looking at the LED because I just expected it to have charged completely. When I got to my car and turned it on, it was at 32%. I thought maybe I had something running that was eating battery or I didn't plug it in all the way overnight so it didn't charge. I plugged it into the car charger and went to work. When I got to work it was still at 32% but I didn't use it the whole time so I thought that was odd. I pretty much didn't use it the whole day since I knew it was low on power and I didn't have a charger at work. I got home and saw that it was at 28% so I plugged it in. About an hour later, I checked and it was still at 28%. Thinking that was odd, I turned it off and left it charging with it off for an hour. Turned it back on an hour later and still at 28%. I spent a little time using it while plugged in trying to kill off apps and things but it drained to 18% even though it was plugged in, the power LED showed orange, and the battery icon on screen showed charging (lighting bolt). At this point I started to worry that something was seriously wrong. I turned it *off* and left it plugged in all night after checking to make sure the LED was orange. In the morning, the LED had turned off completely (not blue or orange). I turned it on and saw that it was still at 18% even after charging all night turned off. I unplugged and replugged and the LED came on orange again.
So here is where it gets really strange.. I decide to go through RMA process since I'm still under warranty. I don't want my private data on it when sending it to them so I do a wipe. On a whim, I plug it back in after the wipe and guess what? It's charging! What the heck?!?! I had thought maybe I installed something that was causing problems but since it wasn't charging even when turned off, I figured it couldn't be an app. Can an application cause the device not to charge even in the off state? I thought maybe my battery stats had gotten corrupted so the percentage readout wasn't accurate but right after wiping the data, the battery was reading 18% just as before the wipe.
Any thoughts? Anyone ever see anything similar? My gut says to RMA it still.
Reboot the device.
It's a bug that happened to me on Honeycomb all the time with A100. (No longer happens on ICS)
Did you actually read the OP?

Yes, multiple reboots didn't help. No charging even when off. Started charging after wipe. Very odd.
So, after my wipe, I set out to see if I could get it to fail again. I loaded a couple of apps that I had loaded a couple of days before this happened and it stopped charging again. Unloaded each of those apps and still no charging. Did another wipe and still no charging. Conclusion is it's busted and just randomly charges on occasion. Sending it in for RMA today. Still very odd that it was reliably charging after that first wipe.
I myself am experiencing exactally the same problem. Any fix found?

Similar thing happened to me. The only thing is I didn't realize it wasn't charging until it was too late and the battery was at 5%. After it shut off, the only way i could get it to turn on was by holding down the power button and plugging in the charger. It didn't get to try a data wipe (didn't have enough time lol). I sent it back and they replaced the system board. Said it was not recognizing the battery properly.
I own two tabs, and one had this issue, the fix is actually quite simple. Let the tab die. No battery life at all. Then, when your sure its dead, plug it back in, and let it charge to full. I haven't had the issue on the tab since.

my charge is on 3% too, but no good luck for me. seems a most serius problem
thanks.
any news guys? I bought a old ACER A100 and only power on while it plug in, so I went ahead and changed the battary, it still does not get charge.
Is the happening on complete stock? Or a custom ROM, if so, which one.
Also, reflash said ROM if applicable, and make sure the data is wiped.
I like the drain the battery idea, although its risky, these tabs can brick if it gets below 10%, current/voltage act weird when its low and blow a breaker inside and keep it from turning on.

What percent does it show the battery at while it's on?

My tab has the charging issue, but it is self inflicted. It was dropped, which cracked the lcd screen. I ordered one after a week or so and replaced it. At this point is when the charging issue cropped up. It powers on only if plugged in, and will get to 3% charge no matter how long it is plugged in. It will also only show the 3% if the charger is unplugged. It will then run for a few minutes until the battery dies. Also, the orange charge blinks about one minute after the charger is plugged in.
I found a reference on the web that if the battery charge gets too low the A100 can't charge it. I also found references that people had this problem, and Acer replaced the mb. I took a shot on the battery since it was a lot cheaper. Still the same. That doesn't the battery was not the issue since it was an ebay battery. So for now I just use it in the living room, plugged into outlet. Works good for that.

Ha! Found my own post by doing google query. Wow, didn't know this thread was still somewhat alive. So, I sent mine back as I mentioned in my last post back in February and they took a week and sent it back to me completely untouched. Basically said it was fixed but the same problem existed. I sent it in after a wipe but I did configure my wifi access point before I sent. When I got it back, my access point connected immediately and it still would not charge. I called them right back furious and demanded they provide shipping back to them because they clearly did nothing. They finally agreed and I shipped it back. After another two weeks of transit and repair time, I got my tablet back and this time it appeared to be fixed.
So, flash forward to 3 weeks ago. One morning I woke up and the tablet wouldn't power on. Black screen but the home "button" would light up when touched and power button would light up when plugged in and such. After several attempts to reset by holding down power button and using the recessed reset button, it was still not responsive. Tried up volume (and down volume) while powering pressing power button.. tried holding down reset button while pressing power button.. all with no result. Submitted rma request and was immediately granted without review. Sent it in and after about two weeks, got it back and it appeared to be working fine. Just this past weekend (about a week after I got the tablet back), I noticed that it was 3% after sitting on the charger for 2 days straight over thanksgiving. ARG!! Looks like another round of RMA here. I have not tried wiping but last time the charging issue happened, it was intermittent for about 2-3 weeks getting worse and worse before finally never charging. I am now near the end of my warranty period and I worry that if I send it back now, they will just turn it around and say it started charging after a wipe. What a piece of ... this is? This will be the 4th times in one year of ownership. I've almost spent the difference in cost between this tablet and other more expensive options in time and shipping alone.
I will try wiping it and then running it all the way down. Although I almost want it to fail hard right now so I can get it RMA'd before my warranty is up.

[Q] HTC One X violently died but I think I might've resurrected it?

Please look into this guys;
Last night, I charged my HOX from 18%-28%, used it for a few minutes and then turned it off (it was still at 28%). I then plugged it into the HTC "black box" usb charger (I've been using the same one since I got the phone like six months ago) but turned on charging after 2 hours - and left it charging for like 6½ hours.
EDIT: My brother actually switched on charging two hours after I switched the phone off. [IT WAS TURNED OFF FOR 2 HOURS]
In the morning, the red LED wasn't on, so I disconnected it and tried turning it on - it didn't work.
I tried holding all three buttons for minutes and all of that, but it still didn't work.
I googled the issue and went through a bunch of threads where the exact same thing happened, and most people said the battery either died permanently or something similar. This one person said he fixed his HOX by using a different charger, apparently the chargers themselves can die.
I plugged my HOX into my mom's Samsung charger, and booted it into bootloader, and selected RECOVERY. After a few minutes and to my orgasmic relief, my phone turned on.
I'm still confused as to what happened.
1) Is there something terribly wrong with my phone's battery now? (When it turned on it was at 1%, whereas I turned it off 6½ hours prior at 28%)
2) My HTC black box charger is obviously not to be used now, right?
3) Is there any problem with using a samsung charger on my HOX from now on? Or should I search for another HTC Black Box Charger?
I'll leave it on charge until it reaches around 60-70% and test it out, and let you know if it's fine. But until then, could you please try answering my questions?
THANKS!
On a side note:
I recently had my HOX repaired at the UK service center under warranty. The phone actually had a bunch of issues; yellow spots on the screen, the ruined wifi antennae thing.. Well, they replaced the screen and display, and replaced the Wifi wiring. When I got it back, it turned out that they forgot to remove a plastic cover from the in-call speaker. Thus I cannot use the phone for phone calls outside of extremely quiet places, unless I use earphones with a mic. I let HTC know this, and they said, "Oh, no problem, just send it back to center"
I reside outside of the UK. I had to send it there with my own money and bring it back with my own money. So now I have to choose between spending another $90 or being able to use my phone for phone calls.
Thanks again, whoever bothers to read this and helps me

[Q] DOA

Watch has set on the charger for about 4 hours now, and I haven't had a vibrate or screen turn on at all. The charger light on the charging unit turns on, but nothing from the watch at all. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm about to call moto and get it sorted through a probable replacement. Sort of annoyed that the QC is this bad.
Just a couple of quick questions:
(1) I know you said DOA, but I just wanted to clarify that is has never worked, or worked for a little while, then didn't work?
(2) When mine arrived, it had 37% charge and for some reason it didn't charge the first time I plugged the charger in. The light came on, but it wouldn't charge. Strangely enough, I unplugged it from the wall and plugged it back in and then it started charging. I'm not sure why, but just in case you haven't tried that yet, I would try that. I may even have used a different plug.
Make sure it is fully seated in the charger. Is there any warmth on the back of the watch when you remove it from the charger?

There is. With the stock charger, it is warm to the touch and the feeling fades with time off the charger.

As in DOA, meaning I took it out of the box and attempted to power it on with no vibration, screen lighting or any other form of feedback to indicate it was on. I have tried it with both the stock charger and a charger I use with my M8 that has a higher amp output.
Mine was the same way, totally dead out of the box. But after sitting in the charger for 20 minutes it finally turned itself on and so far seems fine. Maybe yours was just too dead to recover from.
I actually thought mine was DOA as well. Even left it charging overnight with no signs of life. It turns out that I was not pressing the power button hard enough. Once I REALLY pressed the button in for 3+ seconds, it powered right up! Haven't had that issue since then, and the power button now seems to register normal presses just fine.

I just tried this as well, and had no luck. I think I will call Moto tonight and get this resolved once and for all.
On the one I bought this morning I thought it was DOA until I peeled the plastic circle off the back and placed it on the charger. Did you take the plastic off?

That I did. Called Motorola support and they will be sending me a new one. Will see if the condition changes before the new one gets here though. It's still sitting on the charger and still getting warm to the touch.

Just to give some final closure for anyone in the future, I recieved the replacement today, and it works just as intended. I think the issue with my other one was that the power switch itself was faulty, as this watch has a much more noticeable firm 'click' when I press it (The other one just sort of softly clicked.) Replacement was sent overnight, and arrived working out of the box. With that said, and after customer service messing up not just the email address, but also my name, I would say that Motorola's support is quite shoddy at best. I just hope they actually reverse the charge on my account for the replacement watch.
I just want to add to this thread, this is exactly the issue I'm seeing with my brand new Moto 360. Just purchased from Best Buy. Took it out of the box, held the power button (as the instructions say) and nothing. I plugged the charger in, unplugged, replugged, etc, no dice. The light on the charger lights up and the watch gets warm. I've let it charge for over an hour, and still have yet to see anything on the screen. The button "clicks" when I press it as opposed to the OP's issue. I guess I'll just take it back and exchange it, just hope this is not the norm with this device.

My Pixel 3 XL died suddenly

Yesterday morning My Pixel 3 XL suddenly died while in a call. It would not restart.
My day had just started, Pixel 3 XL 128gb fully charged over night, was in a call for about 20 minutes while going down the highway. The phone was in the wireless charger. All of a sudden My Bluetooth switched back to radio I looked down The phone was dead, my call was dropped.
I had about 45 minutes more to travel so while going down the road I attempted to restart; holding power button, holding power and volume down. The phone was not hot, after a while I plugged directly into my rapid charger. The phone wouldn't show any indication of life. No vibration, charge indicator, nothing. Left it on the rapid charger the remainder of the trip.
I let it sit on/off the charger, switched to factory charger. Several hours later attempted to hook to computer, no drivers loaded, no fast boot, no ADB...
Contacted Google, and went through all the troubleshooting steps again. The Google CSR got a replacement on it's way, no hassles. It will arrive in about 2 days.
I'm persistent, and continued troubleshooting last night after is sat for about 4 hours. Finally, I put the phone in it's box, it sat there for about 24 hours.
Tonight I pulled it out and pushed the power button and it started right up normally! Battery was at 23%, so Something must have hung for the entire day. I looked at the phone log and the 20 minute call was missing, the call prior to that was logged.
I Pulled all my precious photos, docs, and pulled out a logcat. Nothing was logged from yesterday. Gonna wipe it, and send it back with a note.
Edit:
About to go to bed, put Pixel3xl in google charger stand, it went black and restarted, now it bootlooped a few times, starts with clock at 12:00, get's NTP and changes to correct time. Gonna try to get some logcats again.
My failure was triggered by attaching the charger; Google Stand and google usb c charger now causing reboot, and bootloops until removed from charger.

Yup,
It was in a wireless charger cradle.
It's a hardware problem, just reset to default and its bootlooping while plugged in. Runs for a few minutes with charger unplugged. I got all my stuffs out of it, and it's wiped, so it's going back to google.

Gotcha. I was having this image of a Pixel stand sitting on the passenger seat with power coming from an auto>AC adapter. LOL! Seriously though, it does seem coincidental that while numerous complaints are showing up about the Pixel 3 series having issues running apps while charging (especially wireless charging) this happens to you while using a 3rd party wireless charger. I know you said it wasn't hot and you are getting a replacement. I just fear that your issue might repeat itself under the same usage pattern.

What type/model wireless charging cradle?
I'm curious. You said your day was just starting and it was fully charged. Why on earth is it in a charging cradle if it's already fully charged? Just wondering because I have yet to run he battery down to zero unless I don't charge overnight and try and stretch out my screen times. I have been getting over 7 hours SOT along with music playback while I commute. That on top of phone and text.
FWIW I exchanged a Pixel 2 XL about 2 months ago because it was having odd/random reboots. I had purchased a P2XL from Google on launch, ended up replacing it through VZW insurance after the screen cracked (didn't have the Pixel protection). Had that one for about 3 months and I would often take it out of my pocket to a freshly rebooted phone, or it would reboot as I removed it from my pocket.
Was annoyed and started removing apps thinking that was the issue. One day I was in a meeting at work and mindlessly spinning my phone on the table while and it rebooted. Spun it again and it eventually rebooted again. There was a mild click/rattle when I shook it that I had attributed to the OIS but every time I shook it, especially when inverted (charging port facing up). I contacted the insurance company and they sent a replacement. A few weeks later my P3XL arrived and I sent the P2XL in as a trade. I can only assume something was loose inside the device. Could be the same with yours. Glad they got it replaced for you.

It was in an iOttie Qi Cradle/wireless charger. I found out after purchasing several of these chargers that the Qi standard won't fast charge Pixel3's. They charge at a about .5 amps.

This device has rebooted several times over night. In fact That fateful morning when I turned off the alarm it had obviously rebooted since I had to enter the pin, and finger print.
This same thing happened to me today. I dont know if mine is going to start working again, but I did get a replacement ordered from Google. There is a common factor between yours and mine, I too was using an iOttie Qi Cradle. Looks like that might be a problem. Im wondering if I should continue to use it or not. Are you going to still use yours?
What Google number did you call for help? Yup, Mine died watching Youtube while using a Samsung wireless charger. I have the Pixel Stand just not one in every room.
MIne just died as well. Was sitting in a Samsung wireless charger also. Wtf people?
Mine also died today but I was using the Pixel Stand, replacement is on its way. I did manage to turn it back on after about an hour and a half of holding the power button down. The phone allows me to use it for about 30 seconds before it boot loops and if I plug a charger back into it or place it on the Pixel Stand it will go back in to the dead state.
This can't be good! Too many reports here with same issue. Does Google know what's going on?
I had exactly same issue. I've been using an iOytie wireless charger. Mine just shut down. So I powered up and in 30 secs, it would shut down again. Eventually it wouldn't even power up, so I RMA'd it.
New one seems ok...so far!!
On my fourth pixel 3 XL now!
Is there any support for multi-window mode?

Not if it dies suddenly.
I had my phone crash once too while in my car wireless charger. It has not happened again in over 2 weeks.
FYI - this isn't just a cradle issue. I actually had this problem on my FIRST 3 XL, and managed to get Verizon to exchange it in store a few weeks ago (got it on Black Friday for a great price, though the forced monthly payments to retain the deal are obnoxious). Full charge, and just stopped working. Actually got it going after a half hour, but only as far as the hard reset key function - and it froze halfway through the reset. That's when I went to Verizon and had some words.
So, here we are, new one... THIS hasn't happened yet, but I've now had three instances where it wouldn't charge. I bought the cradle, and avoided that intermittent issue - but now it often thinks it's connected to USB when I de-cradle it, and I've had several repeats of the "won't charge" event. This occurs on both OEM and non-OEM chargers, and I found that rebooting the phone fixes the problem. That to me screams OS or drivers.
Anyone heard any news on their problem? (FWIW - I left an OG Pixel XL for this... and have had more problems with this in the first three months than I did with the OG in two years, running beta releases.)
