Hello, did someone notice an overheating during the charging of phone when it's SWITCHED ON (using normal charger not quickcharge)? I noticed that after plug the cable, suddenly the phone is hot on the top of the screen and after 5/10 minutes is really hot in the whole surface.
I think it's not normal... because if I try to charge the phone is SWITCHED OFF this problem in not present, it's not hot only a bit warm after a few minutes .
Hope someone would be able or so kind to check his phone during the charging phases.
Thanks

SOLVED: factory reset from recovery and flashed again last firmware via recovery from sd card (otherwise the system didn't see the firmware to flash in the root)

Hi guys!
I bought my new HTC One X on contract with three UK about 10 days ago. Been working great and I've flashed several different roms on it, the latest being the AOKP jelly bean.
I was in the middle of setting up my Go Launcher last night, when the phone suddenly died. I thought it must have just crashed following some rom/kernel issue, so I tried to turn it back on, no luck. Also tried holding the power button down but to no avail.
I supposed that it might have run out of battery, as it was fairly low at the time, so I left it charging on USB (with the indicator light flashing) all through the night (around 9 hours) and this morning it still won't turn on.
The screen won't come up at all, and the phone doesn't vibrate or make any noise but if I connect it to my computer it will sometimes be detected and I can see the device in ADB.
"adb devices" first shows the device as offline, then if I run "adb kill-server" and try again then it shows the device as "HT23YW105462 recovery".
I've then tried running commands such as "adb reboot", "adb reboot-bootloader", "adb reboot -p" but no luck. The phone seems to recognize the command as it disconnects, but it doesn't turn back on.
Any theories guys? I hope my new toy hasn't been bricked somehow! If this happened to my Desire HD I'd just take the battery out to make sure it was fully off and try again... is this a good idea here?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give! Many cookies will be given as reward. (sorry for the long post )
- P.s. This is pretty urgent as I use this number for work!
:victory:
Ok, it seems to have been resolved at last... just for anybody who gets the same issue, here's what worked for me.
After doing some more searching I found someone mentioning this method: Leave the phone plugged in to your USB port for a while until the orange LED flashes. Leave it flashing for a few minutes, then quickly swap the lead from your USB port to a wall charger. If you leave it unplugged too long then it seems the LED stops flashing and it won't work, so do it quickly.
If successful the LED will keep flashing while plugged into the wall, and it will start to charge up. Give it a while (I left mine for about 25 minutes) then try and turn it on. This worked for me, but even after this period of time it had only charged up to 2%!
:S This is an odd phone indeed.
Very strange resolution IMHO.
This problems must be caused by discharging the battery more than it should (which I guess custom ROMs can cause)

Very strange indeed... I tried pretty much everything I could before this, but this was the only thing to get the phone to boot. Charging and working fine now :S. I'll have to make sure to never run it flat if I can help it, this would be a right pain if it it happened while I was out
Just saved from similar issue
My battery run out last night when I had the phone connected to the tv through USB>HDMI when i put it on the charger the charging light would not switch on. Phone wouldnt switch on either it was really dead!. Left it all night hooked up to charger and this morning still nothing, wouldnt switch on.
So I Hooked it up to the PC and after 10 minutes or so the light started to flash and I quickly inserted the usb charging cable and it started to charge.
Pretty sure I either discharged the battery to much (did update to 7.2.2 yesterday with 30% bat), OR something to do with having the USB>HDMI cable inserted when the battery run out.
Odd but brought it back to life (phew!)

Hmm, seems like a pretty common fault. Maybe an app that cuts power to the phone when it reaches a critical limit might be a good idea... I noticed that most phones seem to turn themselves off before fully dead, whereas ours now seem to completely flatten themselves. At least if it shut down at 1% you could still turn it back on when you found a charger, and it could tell you why your screen was about to go black rather than "poof, gone".
Anybody know such an app? Or should I make one (been wanting to get my hands dirty)
wont turn on

im unable to see led light i believe unsupported kernel fryed phone
Having massive issues right now. Last night I left my phone plugged in AC to charge and ran a sleep tracker app. Woke up this morning and found the phone dead. I tried unplugging and plugging again multiple times and managed to get the Red LED blinking then it went steady indicating it was charging. Turned the phone on but as if it wasn't charging anymore, it powered off within minutes. I managed to get recovery running and factory reset (running CM10). Same issue still there. I even tried leaving the phone in hboot and recovery to charge but after 10 mins the battery went flat again. Now I've just left the phone off and plugged into AC. The blinking LED came on again then went steady - but after 15 mins the LED light disappears. I just left it like that, now the phone tries to boot up but gets stuck at HTC logo. Also it is incredibly hot.
Any ideas? Really need help here.
Additional info, installed NFS: Most Wanted yesterday, tried playing but phone really overheated big time. Could that have cause the motherboard to fry? Just seems odd though cause it boots up fine, just won't stay on - can't even get past the initial setup wizard.
Also I would take it back to Vodafone AU but since I can't get the phone up long enough to restore to stock, they might find out I've rooted and thus voiding my warranty.
I had the same problem. I installed NFS MW and it drained my battery like help and when i tried recharging it it wouldnt charge
at all. Even when i pluged the phone on it wouldnt charge. Tried a different cable. For all it could be a adapter/cable problem.
That was what it was for me. I tried a different charger and it worked. If you are using a different charger, use something with 1A output.
If the led is blinking, it means that the battery is verryy low.
once your phone turns on, turn the airplane mode ON and display OFF and wait a few minutes before using the phone.
no luck

Yea, I tried using a different cable, even tried using my old iPod USB to wall adapter. No luck there, but I think I'm on to something now. Thanks anyway
getting there

Hey, yea I figured that much from searching around. Too bad it's such a big flaw. I couldn't sustain a charge at all when I was still on CM10. Couldn't even finish booting up and it would just die. Voltage was super low was my guess. Tried using the fastboot charging script (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658084&page=5) and managed to get battery up enough to flash stock boot.img, did a nandroid restore to Stock ROM then flashed stock recovery. Seems to be stable now, in airplane mode and display off. Started up phone at 4% and now it's at 6% so fingers crossed :fingers-crossed: Thanks for the reply though - needing all the tips I can get!
Hello All,
As the title states my HOX reboots when I plug it in the wall for charging and this is what I have done and still nothing ....
1:Used various of chargers and it still reboots
2:Changed Roms to many and it still reboots
3pened the phone and gave it a good air dusting
4:Checked the CPU temp when charging at it maxs at 35C
It is rather annoying as I haven't had a full charge in month's now due to this
Can anyone suggest what I can do please?
Kind regards
Jadc
Typical,
Think I have discovered what is causing my mobile to reboot when charging.
It's the power button switch ... it seems to get stuck or something happens when the phone heats up, So i have completely removed it and it hasn't rebooted yet!
Okay, so I installed CM13 sometime in April I believe. It was working fine for the most part, battery life wasn't any worse than stock, and I couldn't do OTA updates and had an early nightly build on it.
A couple weeks ago, after my kids let the battery deplete all the way (again), I plugged it in overnight. I should add that when the device was being used while charging, it would get VERY warm at the USB port. The next morning, when I turned it on, it flashed the Samsung boot logo, flickered a bit and shut off. I tried going into recovery, looked through these wonderful forums and even re-seated the battery. It would showed the large empty battery symbol once, sometimes boot the Samsung logo again but always flicker and shut off in about 1-2 seconds. This happened about 3-5 times. Now it doesn't do anything at all.
Before I drop any funds on a battery (I'm on a very tight budget) should I try anything else? Should I be thinking of changing the USB port instead?
try another 5v 2+A charger and micro usb cable

I know that once my battery is completely depleted, I had to re-seat the battery connection cable, then I plugged the tablet into my PC for about an hour and got that same battery symbol with a circle indicator. After the hour passed, I plugged it into a standard Samsung charger and let it charge from the adapter fully. This has happened to me a few times and the above method has always worked for me! Good Luck!

I'll give it a shot, thanks! At the very least, I know the USB port is doing something since it gave me a quick battery/circle indicator after I plugged it in to a plug charger this time!

Well, it took about 15 hours of being plugged in to fully charge, after bring plugged in for a full day just to get it to power up at all!
So now that I can turn it on and stuff, it's getting VERY warm to the touch. I do remember it getting warm before, but never this warm. Right now it's not in it's case, which might have hidden the heat before.
It's mostly on the left side of the device where the heat is most intense, right about at the middle of the device. Is this a signal of the battery needing to be replaced?
And thanks! :good:

Glad to hear you got the device to come back to life, but in regards to the battery... I've always noticed the heated area in the center left side of the device when multi-tasking. Personally, I flashed a CyanogenMod Rom and have seen less heating issues than when I used the standard TouchWiz Roms. I'm really trying to prevent my tablet getting to the point of a battery replacement, but the Rom seemed to make a difference for me.
The cpu/soc is in the bottom middle (when device is held landscape mode), it will get warm / hot depending on what tasks the tablet is doing, under idle conditions it should not be hot, turn screen brightness down too, when charging it should get warm near the usb port and maybe slightly warm on the back but not hot.
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.
