So my HTC One M9, Verizon, for the record. Stock ROM, stock everything-- no root, was working fine up until the other day. These two things might be unrelated, but I had a weird vignette on my screen, along with white lines only on the edge of my screen. I turned it off and when I woke up it was gone. However, I started having issues with charging. It wouldn't charge, recognize on my computer, when on. I let the battery die to do a calibration, and strangely enough, ONLY WHEN the phone hit 0%, would it start to charge again, this is when the phone was off. I charged it to 100% and turned it on. If I tried go past the lockscreen and do anything funky, it would stop working (disconnect and reconnect a couple times before stock working completely). If I stayed at the lockscreen and kept it off it would remain charging at 100%. Disconnect it and take some pictures, it won't work.
I've gone to 0% two times, and that seems to be the only way to get it to charge, offline or off.
What's going on here?
Alright, so I shut it off at 95%, and it's currently off. I plugged the charging cable in, and went I went to check it later the LED indicator was flashing orange. Now, if I plug it back in it will flash "charging for a second" then go back to the orange blinking.
EDIT: I did it again and now it showed the charging symbol and is charging like normally, and indicating 92%. The charging LED is now a solid orange.
EDIT EDIT: "The led flashes orange as a warning that the device is overheating." Is that why it works when off and completely cool and when I try to do anything that "heats it up" it stops working? I've also read; "Battery level is very low." Weird.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: Leave the screen off/sleep mode it starts to charge.

Last night I got woken up at 4:04 (I lol'd when I saw it) by my phone that was vibrating and wouldn't stop. When I pressed the power button on top of the device, the screen showed my wallpaper for less than a second, and then turned off. I can't get it on again, when it's plugged into the charger, the LED stays off. It doesn't seem to respond to anything.
So is there anything I could try before sending it off to the insurance company?
[edit]
When I plug it in now, the orange LED comes on, meaning it's charging. When I press the power button the LED goes off as if it is preparing to boot, then the LED comes on again and charges again.
[edit 2]
Seems to be working again. Charged it for a few minutes and now it's back on again and has loaded Android. The constant vibrating was odd. I guess the charger wasn't properly connected or something and it was shutting down while also receiving a notification.
The thing I was most scared of was getting a new one from the insurance company and it being an SLCD version.
alright, so i was in the middle of writing a text message a few minutes ago and the phone randomly shut off. only now, i can't get it back on. battery pulled multiple times and the weird thing is that it was on the charger when it turned off. when i try to turn it back on, the led just blinks red. can't boot into CWM either.
Did the phone overheat possibly? I'd give it some time and make sure the battery has a charge then try it again.
I was watching a movie while charging my HTC Desire and at once it started vibrating and the screen was black also the charging LED was gone.
After like 20 seconds i pulled out the battery, did it back in and tried to boot it but nothing no screen led sound vibrate nothing.
I'm not sure wich radio i'm running i gues the last one (Flashed the newest as posible a month ago).
At the moment it happened i was running the latest MiUi (1.8.19)
It scared the hell out me and i'm not sure what todo now, i hope anyone can help me on this one (Also i checked the power there is nothing wrong with also all devices on the same net was the TV and my phone charging)
Edit1: Oke i figured out that if i put it on the charger the charging light goes on, then i try to turn my phone one the charging light is off for 5 seconds then it turns on again (Phone still doesn't work), When i take out the battery and hang it on my pc and try to turn it on the led blinks like orange green orange green and it keeps going also my pc doesn't react on the phone plugged in the USB
Thanks.
I know there are other posts about this but my battery won't charge. I rooted it and it completely died. Now when i plug in the stock charger, it turns on, boots up, then dies, and repeats. I plugged it into my computer, and the orange light is dim. After about 20min, I got a message from fff saying: "Battery is too low to power on, wait a few minutes and try again." or something like that. After that it just stays dim and when i press the power button nothing happens. This has happened to me before, but i rebooted the system(with TWRP) and then i got the same message, but it charged fine. Please help.(BTW i am using it USB right now, because Stock charger still wont charge it.) Please help!!!
EDIT: Right now it goes to the Screen indicating that it needs to be charged and then it continues charging. After awhile, it will turn on to that same screen(charging screen) and i realized the backlight was lit after the indicator turned off and i cannot turn it off!!! Ive done the 20sec. hard reset but still it stays on. Help needed!!!(BTW it is the FFF bootloader i think)

Maybe try booting into twrp and then when its fully charged boot it again to system. Can you boot into twrp or does it instantly just go to that screen again? I dont want to start speculating about the condition of your bootloader or anything else based on the info you have given. All I know for sure is theres an indication that it needs to charge. I would try quicky plugging it into the wall charger from a powered off state. I would hold the power button for 20 seconds to verify that it is indeed powered off. Most of these are likely gestures of futility. I can only say what I would do myself. Lastly I would remove the back and unplug the battery then after 5 mins or so plug it back in or plug it in via usb without the battery in and if it booted correct carefully reconnect the battery but Im not recommending you take this approach. Give it time charging via usb hopefully it will somehow break from this cycle that what the bootloader is supposed to do in the event the battery has been drained to below 4%.
Whether it is stuck like that I cannot tell you.
SInce Upgrading to Lollipop my N4 now Freezes when I plug the Charger in. The Screen is Dark the Red Light is Lit. The phone will not do ANYTHING. If I Hold Down the Power Button Nothing Happens, No Matter what I push Nothing Happens. The Screen just stays dark. I end up having to Pull the Battery & Power it On. This Never happened before the Lollipop Update. I dont know if its tied to the 5.0 Update or not but it never happened before. Now it happens almost Every time I charge my N4. After the 1st couple times I thought maybe it was just a glitch & wouldnt happen again but it happens almost every time I charge it. Side Note: I did peform a FDR before Updating to 5.0. Does anyone know what could be causing the Freeze or know How to Start Trouble Shooting the Problem? What I can do to Sniff Out whats causing the Freeze? Thanks in Advance for any Help. Jason T.
(I searched the Forum for anyone else having this Problem & my search results came up with ZERO, I typed in Phone/N4 Freezing while Charging)
Same here. I want to add couple of more issues actually.
-when charger is plugged, that lightning icon disappears and re appears every 50-70secs. But this happens very quickly that your eyes may not catch it. When soft keyboard is on, keyboard disappears in the blink of an eye and reappears. It is impossible to use the keyboard sometimes. I suspect, power button address is called for a reason or a proccess is terminated and re-run again, couldnt identify which process. This gives me the smell of a software error. Some users tell that even they cannot unlock their phone because keyboard pattern is disappearing half way and have to redraw the pattern. If this sucks, disconnect the charger and draw the pattern and reconnect again. But ofcourse after this your keyboard starts malfunctioning.
-When phone left plugged to charger, it never reaches 100% charged so easily. Always starts to slow charging at 92% or 94%. When you watch red light, it seems to go steady but blinks very quickly every 20-30 secs actually. When the phone is turned off, it is again blinking very quick every 20-30secs that even you can not catch. This slows down charging. As the phone is off and no software is running, this gives me the idea that bootloader or in other words bios is malfunctioning.
-I have tried different chargers ranged 500mA to 2000mA, result is slightly changed. Phone's original charger is also a problem.
-Connected bluetooth keyboard, no issues encountered during typing. But when you move the cursor left or right by keeping left or right arrow, it stucks just for a portion of a second and keeps going. So, again there is a software malfunction is interfering this. So strange.....
-When i remove the battery and give about 6-10 secs then re install the battery and startup the phone, problem dissolves for a short time and again starts.
-I have replaced the battery (thinking this is a battery issue) installed a brand new one, result didnt changed.
-For example open google chrome and just wait.... You see (random time elapses) google chrome application restarts. Again do not touch anything, many times you see google chrome restarts. Actually i have tried boatbrowser also. Just run the app and go to a web page and wait..... app restarts. This causes when you are climbing down the page, it teleports to top of the page and reloads.
-I have long pressed power button. When power off and restart appeared, long pressed on power off, then safe mode appeared and selected it. When device started from safe mode nothing changed. Conclusion at this stage this is not caused by a third party app.
-I am a PC user for a very long time, i know when hardware malfunctions, different fatal things happen. Not this kinda things. This things gives me the strong idea of a software malfunction.
-Also, you cannot turn your screen off. When you press your power button it just turns off for a fraction of a second then turns on asking for my password (my unlock screen is password protected).
So, two conclusions; this is a software error (most probably), or a hardware error (less chance). If hardware is malfunctioning then service is required. But u know services are not solving problems 100%. They may simply say "no problems found with your device"
I am also waiting for a solution or an update. I have to tell that this has first started when my battery depleted completely when i was out. When i get back home plugged to AC charger, red light was on but not charging. Phone remained dead for several hours. Then i long pressed power button then it blinked 3 times then to sign of life. Everytime i long pressed the button same 3 blinks came. Removed the battery then placed it back, started charging. After about 40mins phone was awake . In the middle of the night i was up for a drink and my phone was on the wall charger. Screen was turning off then on then off then on non-stop repeating this. That time i was using a different charger. I thought wattage of the charger was not powerful enough. Unplugged the phone saw that it was 94%. This is the all story. But started happening after upgrading to lollipop.
