Hi,
I was on HTC stock Marshmallow and faced the same problem that my phone would turn off without warning at around 15-25%. I thought this was a bug in the stock ROM so i flash cm 14.1 but still i am facing the same problem. The phone just turns off like today it turned off at 29%. When i plug it up to the charger it showed battery 28%. I am thinking about selling my device because this is extremely annoying. Though before doing that i have decided to flash a very popular rom known as "ICE" to see if it fixes the problem. So i want to ask if anyone is having this problem with his m8 or is it just me?
How old is your device?
Because mine is around 2 years old and I face the same problem. For me I think, the battery has deteriorated..

Hold vol up, vol down, and power to do a battery calibration, and see if that helps.
Your data should be safe. But I'd still recommend backing up anything important before doing the calibration, just in case.
I don't know how much old is my device. I bought it 2nd hand. That guy said it was used for only 6 months. Anyways i am going sell this phone soon to get a One plus 3. I have installed S.Team ROM tho, It has minimized the problem as now my phone shuts down in between 10-17%.

We had a power surge in this house while my HOX was charging... I'm guessing that's what caused the problem.
Unfortunately I bought it outright, 2nd hand, about 7 months ago. So can't get it replaced or repaired for free. It's been trouble-free until about a week ago.
Phone is rooted, has been upgraded/running Jellybean ROMs successfully; originally an Optus branded HTC One X (Australia).
The Problem:- so by default, if I charge it (with solid red LED on) while it's off, at random intervals with no user intervention, it'll boot to the boot screen, and then turn itself off to a black screen a few moments later. This will continue at random intervals of say... 30 minutes or so. Strange huh. Oh yeah, and when I try to boot the phone manually, it does the same thing. Annoying.
I can still get into HBOOT/Fastboot using power+voldown... and from there recovery. So I thought - okay... I can fix this. But upon booting, no matter how long I charge it while it's off, it complains that the battery is too low to flash. So I've been charging it in recovery for hours before flashing successfully.
So I've flashed a couple of different JB ROMs (such as Ordroid/Black Pearl) with their associated boot.img files properly (the way I always had before, i.e. before flashing the ROMs, and w/ fastboot erase cache etc), and each time it'll boot up into the newly flashed ROM fine, then I'll charge it up to full (green LED). But upon rebooting the phone, it goes back to it's initial behavior of going to the boot screen, then a few moments later going to the black screen and staying there (with red LED on). And then when I boot it with power+voldown... it complains the battery is too low to flash, even though fully booted and working it was saying it was 100% charged just a few moments before (having previously left it for hours to charge up to full). I've tried 2 genuine HOX chargers and cables, with no change in behaviour, and have searched threads about this kind of thing in this forum, to no avail.
I suspect the power surge has killed the battery somewhat , though I really don't know for sure.
Or is this a PEBCAK problem... could easily be... I'm sure I could've stuffed up somehow without realising.
Fixing this phone isn't critical, as I'd already moved on to a Nexus 4, however I had been intending to give this phone to my brother before it started misbehaving... so if anyone knows how I should proceed, I'd most appreciate any guidance.
Thanks.
It's a bit difficult to say whether it's the battery or the actual mainboard which got damaged.
There's only one way to find out, purchase a new battery and see. You can sell the battery if it doesn't work.

So the other day I flashed a 4.3 rom and started having major battery drain and overheating issues. I tried re-flashing the rom and then tried some other 4.3 rom's and the same issue occurred. I then restored my nandroid backup from (4.2 rom) and it was doing the same thing. Even tried flashing a fresh 4.2 rom and still the same thing. Battery drains rapidly even while the phone is turned off and the phone gets very warm to the touch. I know it's not the battery because I have about 4 that I tried and my bro has the gnex as well and I swapped the battery from his perfectly working phone.
My phone also won't charge while it's turned on. Tried the trick with moving the pin up and it worked for a little while but now will only charge while off (sometimes).
Really wanted to hold off on getting a new phone until the next Nexus came out but looks like I might have to bight the bullet and get an HTC One, S4, or Droid Maxx.
So I guess my question is, is my phone completely screwed. Think I could turn it in to Verizon to get a refurb or am I screwed because I've flashed? Any other recommendations?
Appreciate it!!
hello sir
My phone was exactly in that condition.. suddenly battery drops without me doing anything, doesnt charge while ON.
Well, what i discovered is the fact the battery drops too fast is because the phone doesnt enter deep sleep or if yours do so then something is wrong with deep sleep mechanism like mine did. About the fact that it doesnt charge it has to do with ur charging port being somehow damaged, i think its by the use of non original cable.. I had to take it to repair and now its working fine
cheers
bump, same here, battery sucks and phone heats up, any solutions?
that's pretty vague because it maybe something completely different from what OP said. If you do have exactly all of those problems then im afraid that the only thing possible is take it to repair. I've tried a lot of roms and kernels and they all were unable to enter deep sleep, or i couldn't charge the phone, etc etc
I reflashed stock rom, waited for update to 4.3 and then flashed custom recovery, and after that custom rom, and so far seems like problem is gone.
Hi guys
My Optimus G is dying on a slowly and painful way...This time I have the following problem:
Phone was working perfect except for its battery life (lasting 5 hours at max), but it started to turn off by itself randomly.
Then, I started to bootloop, when I decided to flash another ROM, but now, everytime that try to flash ANYTHING the phone turns off while flashing. I can perform full wipe, but when I try to flash, power goes off.
Is there anything that can do? Is it completely dead?
Thank you guys!
i think i have the same problem, but mine shuts down while booting, i can flash roms normally.
still have to wait for my battery to arrive, going to change it to find out if it fix the problem

This is my second battery. Never had this problem with the old one, but my battery life problem doesn't seem to be battery issue, but something on the phone...

:good: thanks for the heads up. Guess it's time to upgrade
my phone is also off for last couple of weeks. when i put phone on charger it powers on and then shut downs automatically after lg logo. Phone remains on if i put phone into recovery mode but it didn't allow to flash any rom because whenever i try to flash rom after wipe it power off itself.
I also tried remove and put battery back trick but it also didn't work don't know its battery issue or something else

It seems very similar to what is happening with me. Tomorrow I'll try to put the phone back to the stock rom and see if it works.
As soon as I do it, I post the if it works.
i have tried flashing stock 4.1.2 and it work a little bit better. but i need to boot it while plug in. when its booted it stays on. the phone shuts it self down when receiving calls. Did not try any other apps while it's on still have it stock.
I don't know why this is happening, is it so that now a days you can't keep your phone longer than you expected, problem came up after a few years,so they force you to replace your phone once a while.

Yeah...When I bought this phone I was living in Korea and couldn't use due carrier's problems. Then I moved back to my homecountry and that phone, after 8 months of usage almost exploded while charging (an absurd overheat)...Since that, the phone started with battery issues and ghost touches problems. The ghost touches stopped and I replaced the battery but now it doesn't work at all. How the hell LG makes a premium device (highend in 2013) that couldn't last a year after unboxing???? That's why I've decided to move back to Motorola, Samsung and HTC...My Galaxy Nexus could resist the meteor that killed the dinosaurs, and this crappy Optimus G can't even CHARGE without destroying itself.
Another LG device? Never!
i just replace my battery, and my phone is work like new again. For now my problem is fixed
new T-5 battery saved my phone. Replaced it yesterday. Phone is back on Sling rom
Hello, I'm new to the forum and I may need your help for a problem I've had today. I've been an happy owner of a Nexus 5X until this morning, when I was regularly using it while on charge and at one point it freezed for a few seconds with the screen still on. I pushed the standby button, the screen went off and from then on it was completely bricked. No signs of life, nor access to recovery mode via bootloader. Nothing. Already tried all the possible physical buttons combos, nothing.
It was on Android 8.1 (beta, very happy about that by the way), no root and with locked bootloader. I did some flashing experiments one year ago but in the end I reverted it back to totally stock and I haven't had issues ever since. Never had bootloops or similar problems, it just happened all of a sudden.
Hope to receive your help, by the way it should still be under warranty, so let's see...
Thanks for your help.
Same problem heare. I tried to install the factory image but now, the phone is completely death.
I beleve thet it was a android 8.1 issue because it was not a bootloop problem.
Same problem heare. 8.1 need a reboot but now, the phone is completely death
It might be an 8.1 issue then. By the way, being under warranty I sent it to customer assistance. I've had some signals of life before this morning though. The LED was flashing red indicating very low battery. I connected it to the charger and followed the instructions by Google themselves:
"If you see a red light, your battery is fully discharged. If the red light is flashing, there isn't enough power to turn on. Charge your phone for at least 30 minutes before restarting".
This seemed to resemble my case, so I waited for about 40 minutes (by that time the charging battery icon did show up with the phone still off) and tried to turn on. The only thing that I got has been the Google logo before the boot animation for a few seconds. Then the screen has gone off again and back to death.
From your comments it seems it might be an 8.1 related issue. Watching videos on Youtube about 5Xes with similar behaviours I was actually thinking about a motherboard failure, or a battery failure (the latter is more unlikely though). Disassembling and heating up the motherboard providing a temperature shock seemed to be a decent temporary solution to bring it back to life. I have warranty though so I sent it to assistance, we'll see... I'll probably unenroll my phone from the beta program just to stay safe.
Thanks for your answers.
My nexus 5x had same issue. A few weeks after 8.1, it totally bricked. I was able to get bootloader on once, but it was locked and fastboot didn't see it. Then after i let it discharge, I haven't been able to get it to recharge or get to boot screen at all. I bought another nexus 5x, but bit worried that 8.1 will kill it.
So, I bought my HTC 10 sometime last week and I love it, I got the red 2PS6500 version. I have been excited to see people like Leedroid and Faygi working to make this phone so amazing. But I always had a rough battery experience.
At first, symptom was fast draining. It rarely got 3-4hrs SoT, but some days I had good battery life. More recently, I noticed that when using my camera around the 20-30% range, the phone would shut down, and I'd see that it was at 0%-1% and not booting.....
From my research here, this seems like I could try to re-calibrate my battery. I had it charge (powered off) for 2 minutes, then I held both volume buttons + power while still charging. I then let it go up to 100%. When I turned it on, the percent showed 70%. So while it was on, I let it go to 100%. After that, I unplugged it, and rebooted it. It went down to 70% again. I repeated the full charge to reboot. This time, I was 99%. I wanted to reboot once more, just to close the gap from 99% and 100%. USB connection is clean and good, cable works on other phones.
Then the phone just stopped working. It no longer boots up, no LED's, no vibration, buttons don't function no matter the combination. I tried connecting it to my PC and I get nothing recognized. Cannot get the screen on at all.
So I am guessing two things:
(1) Battery might have fired and the connection to the board is gone. I might have bought one that already had issues and this was the last leg of it.
(2) Motherboard damage from the battery? This is something I'm afraid of if I go and replace the battery and I still have issues with it not turning on.
I was hoping anyone with experience might be able to confirm anything I mentioned with the battery issue, and if replacing it solved that.
TL;DR, HTC 10 no longer powers on, shows no sign of life. Battery previously had calibration issues. Should I replace the battery, and then it will turn on, or could there be further damage. Most situations I found were from users that were still able to turn on their HTC 10.
I've replaced my battery recently. I had the same deal. I had to use the actual charger plugged in for a while and it eventually came on

Thank you for responding. My issue/question was more about "if" i replace the battery, will it solve my issue. I have not replaced it yet, and I ordered an OEM battery in hopes that should fix my issue. So hopefully a new battery will allow me to boot up my HTC 10 again.
At least I still have my HTC m8, and I'm replacing it's battery too (swelling and making the screen bulge). The community around the M8 is still strong and there is even the latest RR pie available too.
I gotcha. Sorry I have a terrible habit of skimming and then assuming. Mine was similar but not exact. I was always able to get it to show life after it was on charge for a while.
When I replaced the screen once, i forgot to unplug the battery from the board before I started. I got it all back together and it wouldn't turn on. It wouldn't show that it was charging. So I went in and unplugged the battery and plugged it back in. It acted after like it never happened.

I hope after I replace the battery, it finally boots up. I had to order a new heat blower because mine broke. I'm surprised after I charged it to 100%, it hard bricked and died. I have a feeling th battery was the culprit, since it was always bad at holding a charge....and even more oddly enough, using RR pie on my HTC M8 is FASTER than it was using RR pie on the HTC 10. That battery was very likely affecting my overall experience.
Please do update us with your progress and conclusion. It might help the next person

DEFINITELY. I hope nobody has the issue I am facing at the moment.
UPDATE
So I replaced the battery, was very easy to do with patience and the right tools.
AND, it did not fix my issue. As I opened the phone, I noticed stickers on the chips from a company that apparently did work on it prior to me buying it, and the work they did was bad. I think it is safe to say that the motherboard has suffered severe EDP damage, and it would not be worth the cost to fix it. Burnt pins near almost every chip.... It was so happy being a part of this awesome group, working on the HTC 10 and having Fagyi making the amazing Pie roms. I will be selling my HTC 10 for parts on Ebay if anyone is interested (1 new battery, 1 lcd screen in excellent condition, both cameras, charging ports. . . basically everything but the motherboard that is dead)
So, I am torn between three options. Since my HTC m8 is fixed (top third inch of touchscreen no longer works with tough), I can keep the HTC m8 until it dies and replace it's digitizer/LCD. I can buy another HTC 10 and hope it will not be a crappy one, or I can save and get the HTC u11 (that red color looks so nice!) or go for a Samsung Note 4. I've had the M8 for about 5 years now and it's running RR-P like a brand new phone. I am so sad my 10 just died like that. I was so spoiled with the HTC 10, it was the best phone I ever had. I'd love to have a new device with tons of potential for modding in the future.
Any recommendations then: any device will be modded like crazy, especially with RR or LOS
- keep M8 / replace LCD+Digitizer
- buy HTC 10
- buy HTC U11
- buy Note 4
