Hey guys
I bought a replacement battery and followed this guide. I successfully replaced it and was able to close it back up. However when I connect it to the charger the light appears and the screen turns on for about a second then turns off. I opened it back up to make sure the connections were stable, and they were fine. So i closed it back up again and its doing the same thing and even vibrating every 5 seconds but then stops.
Anyone that has replaced the battery experiencing this as well? Or anything similar? How did you solve it?
I just replaced the battery in mine. Seemed to go well and booted and worked great (seemed to fix the issue I was having of it randomly shutting off). I put it on the charger and it would not charge, so figured I must not have seated the inductive charging cable well enough, so took it back apart. While taking it back apart I managed to rip the display cable in half . Forget this thing I'm done with it.

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!
Hello!
I hope somebody can help me, I tried to solve the problem by myself but I ran out of ideas what could be wrong. So to start with, i have replaced a cracked screen with a new one(lcd+digitizer). Everything was working fine after assembly, so I gave the phone back to the customer. Yesterday after 3 weeks of usage, he came back claiming that the screen isn't working anymore and that sometimes the screen was black and the other second was working. So I gave a look, but the screen was working(suddenly again), only the colours were a bit funky(probably the screen flat cable is the problem or?) So I opened the phone but nothing was wrong with the cables. I also cleaned the connectors with air if there was maybe some dust. Then when I assembled it back, plugged it in, to charge it, the battery was on screen,saying it is charging and I thought the problem is solved, but when I turn on the phone there is still nothing,blank screen. What could be wrong? The screen must be working because otherwise I couldn't see the green battery when charging the phone while off.
So, the other day I accidentally dropped my Zenfone. When I picked it up, it had been shut down. I couldn't boot it up anymore after the drop. After like maybe 1 hour I opened the phone up and reattached the battery wire. Then I got it working. But then the problem was that the phone got really hot, even when I wasn't using it.
I waited until the battery was completely dead and then tried to recharge. And now the problem is that the phone won't charge at all. It still gets really hot. When I plug the charging cable in, it just vibrates, shows that it is charging, but then just after 20seconds it stops.
And now I'm asking, what should I do? I also tried to disassemble everything and then assemble everything back again, but with no luck.

inspect motherboard for physical damage with a magnifying glass. go for reflow if no physical damage.
Recently I posted about a problem others had as well - when under 50% ish battery, my HTC 10 would randomly reboot, and that would loop until it was plugged in.
Once plugged in and fully rebooted, the battery % reading would vary from where it was before to 1%. Also, certain apps' data or cache would be deleted. I would open, Macrodroid, for example, and it acts like it's the first time being opened after installation.
This has been exhausting, having to constantly be charging, staying above 60% - and even then it still happening. After it does, the apps whose data was cleared varied, and I wouldn't always know until I opened each.
So after this I dropped it and cracked the screen. I have fixed all of my HTCs before with various problems - M8, M7, DNA, Incredible, Max - so I decided to put in a new battery to hopefully fix the bootloop problem.
After watching a few disassembly videos, it seemed best to replace the screen when I opened it for the battery. So I ordered a screen, and waited more, constantly charging, restoring data to apps like Macrodroid and initializing apps all over again.
I finally have the new battery and screen. I have a few hours. I get out all my tools.
A few hours later, I have put it back together. It's like Medusa inside this thing! I was really being risky doing this last night, because I have a ton of work to do today, yet here I am typing this on my backup nexus 5x - so slow!
So the result? Success for the screen replacement, and the battery as well. But, now, it is bootlooping still! I plug it in, and two things:
Plugging it in does not stop the bootloop.
The charging LED does not light up.
So I am hoping someone may have some insight as to what I may not have connected properly. I can post pictures later, I'm not home right now.
I looked and looked and looked and cannot find where I went wrong. I am going to take it apart and put it back together if I can't find the error. Any ideas? Any other places I should post this?
I guess when I get home, assuming it has completely drained itself, I can plug it in, and see if it gets a charge, and if the LED illuminates. I am thinking: charging port is not properly connected back + the new battery did not fix the bootloop / battery issue.
Thoughts?
Bootloops/shutdowns are going to corrupt your data. I would RUU the thing before looking for hardware trouble, which you've likely sorted out by replacing the battery (of course, we're assuming the new battery is good).
BUT before that, is there a memory test in the bootloader or recovery? If so, I would run that very first thing.

Whatever happened to your phone? I have the exact same problem. Infinite boot loop, no illuminated LED, and no way of getting into recovery or anything else with it bootlooping. It occurred after I made the mistake of trying to restart it at 25%. I have the new battery and screen. i'm going to attempt to open this Pandora's box. Seriously going to have to turn my back on HTC. The 10 is so full of software issue problems regarding the batteries that they never bothered to address.
I did the exact same thing a few days ago and my phone won't charge or boot, but I do think the problem is with the button strip, that's what i think, because i tried turning it on before re assembling it and it did turn on successfully and was charging normally but when i re Assemble it, the phone got this problem, now i think when i turned it on before assembling i pressed the power button with a screw driver because i couldn't press it with my fingers, I think there i messed it up, any advice how to fix the button strip and remove a slip nut would be very much appreciated
I had the exact same issue as you(shutting down at 50%), have you found any solution to it?
edit: I THINK clean flashing oreo firmware then latest RUU then twrp then lineage fixed my issue, charging to full rn will drain it over the next day and report back if its gone for good
Phone keeps acting like I plug in the charger. Every 15 seconds it beeps the screen dims as if I connected something and it wont stop.
Reset my phone cleaned the USB port looking for sugfestions.
Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks.

Same issue I HAD.
I purchased a LG G7 thinQ off of Craigslist.
Everything was fine minus the back glass being completely cracked and shattered.
I went on eBay and purchased the back glass with the finger print scanner and camera lens included, as well as a new battery (since I was already going to be inside the phone).
Completed the task, charged to 100 with phone off. Two days later as I left for vacation, the battery went from 17% to 10% then it shut off. I couldn't get it to take a charge, at all. So I messaged the eBay battery seller and had him send me a newer one. The previous battery date was 11-02-2018.
Once I got back into town, I opened the new battery and the date was 06-05-2019.
So far so good! I'd suggest watching YouTube and getting a heatgun or hairdryer.
I was in between it being a battery issue or the charging port itself. My back screen is cracked as well I habe always had a case on it but maybe with it being cracked with the humidity moisture has got to the battery???

I have the same problem too, it started after upgrade to android pie
