[Q] Red led flash 3 times then not turning on - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys! First of all: Sorry for just posting, but this is not my phone.
So it's my friend's phone running on MiniCM9 with correct kernel. It was perfect until June. Then he turned it off and yesterday when he tried to turn it on, red light flashed 3 and black screen. So it was powered down and nothing happened with it, but it's not turning on. Computer can't detect it, no sony ericcson logo. Battery is full and even charging icon can't appear. What happened since June?

I'd really need to check my diary to be sure exactly what's happenned since June..
Juust plug it into mains charger (not usb to computer) and leave it alone for at least 4 hours. Don't even touch a button until it turns itself on.

HELP!!! The battery doesn't recharge!!!

Sorry for my english.
My f00kin problem is that I can't recharge my kaiser anymore!!!
I plug the external charger and the orange led is on for a minute or 2, then it turns off.
Attached to the pc, no light
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP PLZ!!!
ot: I'm using Dutty's7b and, till yesterday, everything was working good. I've also hard resetted the device, but the problem still here...

Can you use someone else's battery to try. Your battery may have just died, some do from time to time.
mmm
I'm not sure, but I don't think it's a battery death problem.
When I turn off it, I CAN CHARGE IT with pc.
I've noticed that if it's turned on, no charge.
If it's turned off, from 15% is now 36% of charge.
WHY???
So if you leave the phone turned off and connected to the PC for a few hours does the battery recharge to 100% and then the orange light change to green? If you then turn the phone on does the light still go out after a couple of minutes? The current draw will be lower when the battery is 100% charged (as it will be when charging while the phone is off). Some PC's can be flakey with high current draw devices on the USB port.
In the situation you described when the light goes off, will the phone still remain connected via Active Sync (or Vista equivalent)? I'm trying to weed out whether the USB connection has anything to do with it. As for those mains chargers, my one (which came with the PPC) worked about 4 times and the first time I had to recharge the PPC from a totally flat battery it died about 3 seconds into the charge. There was a loud click from the charger and it's light extinguished so I dont have much faith in the mark 2 chargers supplied to UK customers. I'm currently waiting on a different warranty replacement - hopefully like the original type with interchangable 'head' to suit different countries.
now it's not fully recharged, but I've just now turned on the phone and the % is growing.
I've always recharged my phone via pc because I left it connected to my pc at work every day during the working day.
only sometime I recharge it via wall plug at home.
dunno why but from yesterday the wall plug works 2 (or less) minutes and the pc is not anymore able to charge the phone.
now, with all the phone switched off (so, also activesync connection closed), the pc can recharge it.
ARGH
I have also the same problem since yesterday

Take batt. 10m out, i had this problem long time ago.
Do you use a other AC loader.... use only the org. AC loader !!!!
Install batt. status and take a look... you must wait a few min. before the batt is charged.

I didn't anything (and, also, in the doubt, I've hard resetted everything on order to have a clean system)
The phone is still in charge.

the big problem now is that I also can not make connection with my pc to install an original rom in case it got to be returned for repair.

Hey I have the same problem... I am on the original HTC Rom.
All of a sudden today the batt is not charging on the wall socket or the PC USB cable.
There is no light whatsoever, The active sync is also not connecting.
I have hard resetted even then the same problem, I am guessing it is a hardware & not a software problem coz I didnt install any new prog/app since last time I charged.
Now I have removed the Batt, will reattach and check in about 15 mins lets hope it works...
Shall update soon.

Nope, Removing the battery and waited for 30 mins reconnected the batt still not working.
Nor is my kaiser charging while the phone is switched off.
The problem is notof the USB port coz the USB headphones are working fine..
I got a battery problem as well. Problem started 3 days ago (20/12-07)
My problem is that the battery drains to fast.. disconnected it around 02:00 when I was of to bed, (battery 100%) but when I woke up again around 09:00 the phone was dead. Thats only 7 hours.. and in standby mode!
I'm on the original HTC UK ROM and I have only installd a couple programs like the Kaiser Tweak, Handysafe, Wififofum, Sprite backup, Citrix client, puTTY, PocketRAR, Total Commander, TCPMP, Flash player, PK NewWarningColorBatteryClean3G, HTC GPRSmonitor.
So I'm guessing one of these programs drains the battery even when the phone in on sleep.... the ones I installed since 20/12-07 is PocketRAR, TCPMP, Flash player, PK NewWarningColorBatteryClean3G.
Has anyone had battery problems after installing these..
Any help is appreciated.
it is a hardware problem
when I hold the cable of the charger and push it against the usb port it does charge. when I stop pushing it stops charging.

[Q] My O2X turns BSOD when charging

Hi I have problem with my O2X (P990). When I plug phone to charger with screen off, phone gets black screen and I cant do nothing, till I remove the battery and put it back and start it again. I use latest CM10.1 and its known issue i think. Is there any solution for this? I turned on option "Stay awake" but its not practical - when im plugging phone to charger screen must be on - then there is no issue, but i cant think all the time about turning phone on when im putting it to charger. Thanks for any advice.

Do the leds light up when you click the power button?
If so, try to click the power button a few times with 1 or 2 seconds in between, the sceen might turn on again. I got the same problem with my P990.

Change rom or kernel. BSoD mostly caused by kernels.

Hey! Sorry to barge in but i have a similar problem thou i'm on stock ics with touch recovery and root. Weird thing is that this was not happening before. What gives? :-?
If i plug in the charger with screen on then it works but if the phone is in standby and i plug it it stays "dead" and only option is obviously to remove battery.
Had this problem on the old bootloader. Use one of the new bootloader ROMs (tonyp's CM10.1 or pengus77's CM10).
thing is i'm using the new boot loader (stock ics is on new boot loader) but it didn't happen before so i'm suspecting either the battery or the phone.
i will try to eliminate one of the "suspects"(replace the battery) and i hope it does the trick....
I suffered from the same problem, and so the only solution that I was easily able to implement was enabling "keep screen on while charging" in development options. When the phone is charging, the screen will dim, but not turn off. It can be turned off using the power button, and the screen will turn off but device will stay awake, which will prevent the BSOD. I wasn't able to test if it was a battery problem and I didn't want to change the kernel or rom. I am using Temasek's CM 7.2 with Stefan's latest Symbi0sis Kernel. Hope I helped.

i think i'm misunderstood :-? the phone charges just fine, it's just that i have to plug in the charger while the screen is on (if i don't do this the phone remains shut and becomes unresponsive hence the "pull out battery" solution).
Oh, my apologies. I thought you meant that the phone BSOD whenever you plug in the charger and leave it for a short period of time, whether the screen was on or off when the charger was plugged it in. In that case, I'm not sure I can provide a solution. Sorry, and good luck.

I have exactly the same problem since i updated the software,
I am on New bootloader,kernel KK124, and temasek latest CM 10.1 based ROM(v 75).
I always connect the charger with screen on and when it starts charging i put the screen off then no issues.
Another issue i am having is keyboard related .
When I type 2nd alphabet the keyboard goes off. Tried all latest ROMS ,and all gapps its the same.
The only gapps which works is the one provided in PAC man thread ,but it seems to work only with PAC MAN ROM.
But it has other issues( Any contact storage gives an FC,and a bit slow compare to avatar and temasek ROMS)

Dropped my One from a very small height - died completely

Hello,
I dropped my HTC One to a hard floor today, from height of less than 50cm (20").
The screen was on before the fall, battery was >90%, everything was working. After the fall, the screen was off, led off, nothing happening from any buttons.
I have tried long-pressing powerbutton, powerbutton+volume, no effect.
I have tried charging, no effect. Even the charging led doesnt work.
I also tried powering it on under bright light (?), no effect.
I had my bootloader unlocked, CWM recovery and Android Revolution HD rom installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023)
The phone had Nillkin protective case (http://mobilemate.yetaa.com/htcdopod/nillkin-htc-one-m7-hard-protective-case.html). I can see no physical damage on the phone, not even a smallest scratch..
Any ideas, what can I try to get it working, before sending it for repair? (Let's hope it goes for warranty. I really don't think it should die for such a small impact..) All ideas welcome!
*EDIT* My phone was working for a second, but broke again. In repair now.

Hey! I just put it in a charger again, and after a minute I suddenly noticed that the charging led light up! I tried pressing the power button, and it booted to bootloader!
I then went to fastboot -> Reboot, to get it to boot normally..
There was a sudden flash of the HTC logo (boot logo). Lasted less than half a second, then it died again.
Now it seems completely dead again..

I'm having exact same problems except I did not even drop my phone, the screen and phone went dead as I was using it. I've been charging it for hours, no response from any lights or anything. I have tried pushing the buttons to force a reset to no avail. When I plug it into my computer it does not recognize it or even acknowledge that it's there.
Hey, my phone works again!
For the millionth time, I tried to start up my phone. No reaction.
Then I connected it to the charger, and the charging light came up.
I then pressed the power button... And it started! Now it works 100% normally, I have shut it down and rebooted and shaked and tilted and knocked it and removed charger and everything, it just keeps working 100% normally! And the battery was at 99% when I got it started.
I don't think the initial cause could be something (battery?) connected loosely, as it just started working all of sudden, and I cannot easily reproduce the error!?
Well, I'm glad it works now. And I'm glad I chose HTC One over GS4.. Self-repairing cellphones in 2013... What next?
Good, i'm happy that your one works fine!!

[Q] HTC One Charges but Won't Turn On

Hello guys,
A while ago, I was just doing stuff I normally do with my phone. I flashed a ROM and it rebooted normally. I then flashed a MOD using TWRP recovery. As usual, every MOD that uses Aroma Installer has a "Reboot device after install" option so I chose that and then **** happened.
Out of nowhere my One suddenly shuts off (The install was done so...)
I have tried the sensor under bright light trick and my phone does vibrate once but nothing actually happens. Just a black screen and stuff.
Sometimes it does go into this screen where it shows a battery icon with thunder bolt in the middle (Yes I know that is the charging screen. But, I also believe that it acts like a progress bar and it does not do THAT.)
Then again, it dies and it doesn't have the charging LED nor would it turn on.
Help is appreciated. I know basic and complicated android stuff but I can't do any of that if my phone is dead
Edit: When I press the power button for a few seconds, it vibrates but nothing happens. The screen is still off and the charging LED is not turning on as well.
Edit: Okay, when I do get it to charge, it shows that charging screen and when I unplug it, it freezes with the charge light on. The phone is also heating up so that does mean it's charging
Regards,
TAM

No. But I was able to drain the battery and once I plug it in using the original HTC wall charger (which is the one that I always use to charge it.) it charged but the charging LED is blinking (mut have drained it self good overnight) am I making progress or did I make it worse?

It's difficult to say at this point, Personally I would just leave it charge over night. Then try and power it on with Volume Down+Power while still connected to the charger. And it definatly doesn't show up in device manager, not even as Unknown Device or QHUSB_DLOAD? I find that a little odd.
But there are signs of life so I think a good charge may do the trick.

Yes. I did plug it into my laptop's usb ports last night when it still had charge (usb 3.0 if that helps) but it was neither recognized nor visible in the device manager. I hope! I am now charging my phone as we speak. I hope it's not dead too
Okay so...I installed HTC Sync and still nothing. It was not recognized and it's still not booting
Try Windows 7 USB 2.0
just htc Drivers
Try to go to Boot loader and flash firmware
if it show battery with charging sign it means Soft Brick or battery problem
if it showed nothing like no charging light or nothing on screen then its Hard Brick

Then it is probably a soft brick or a battery problem. Because when I got home I immidiately pluged it into the wall charger for it to charge and it charged showing the charging screen with a blinking LED. One more thing, if I press the power button for a few seconds it vibrates and then nothing happens. I am planning to leave it charging over night. Is that a good idea?

I was flashing a MOD then after the installation finished, it asked if I wanted to "reboot now" so I tapped yes then the phone died and it won't start anymore. Yeah but how long should I hold the button? Just to clarify, my phone only vibrates if I hold the power button for a long time. It just keeps vibrating and vibrating

until the lights stop flashing, usually about 12 or 15 times cant quite remember exactly how many times they flash but its quite a few.
I know you said you tried the bright light trick, but you should also try this trick whilst holding down the power button.

Umm...but the buttons don't light up when I press the power button for a long time.
It does this but when I unplug it, it freezes like that with the LED on.
Edit: When I plug it in the computer it doesn't show up (I think that's good because it's a sign telling me that maybe the phone just needs a long ass charge). Now I will be leaving my phone to charge over night and hope that it will boot up in the morning. The phone becomes hot too while it's charging.
Note: I also do not have access to RECOVERY, BOOTLOADER and FASTBOOT.

if your phone is in warranty you should go to service centre
This situation is quite confusing
as not accessing bootloader is not good sign

Oh no...well I will try to search for my old laptop that has USB 2.0 ports and see of that recognizes my phone. I also do not have warranty anymore though so that is not going to help me

Okay so I plugged my phone into a laptop with USB 2.0 ports and it showed up in device manager as an "Unknown device". Not sure if it was caused by the phone showing the battery charging screen but anyway that happened. Is that a sign of life? What should I do about it?

Well as you have tried everything else, and now seeing some signs of life, you could give this a try, no harm in trying, it will either work or it wont.

My Nexus 6 won't turn on anymore, help please!

Hi guys,
Here's my (huge problem): my Nexus 6 won't turn on anymore. I was at a friend's last night, it was on and functional. Then I pick it up and it's off. Odd I think, I try to turn it on, nothing. I try to turn it on while holding the power button for a while, still nothing. I try powering it on to access the bootloader (power + vol down), still nothing. All I could see was a faint red light right next to the top speaker (on the left, weird but it seems to be the proximity sensor) that turns on for like a second when I hold the power button for a while.
If I connect it to my PC, I get a Windows notification saying the driver for this device cannot be installed (so it's detecting it somehow). I let it charge overnight but I don't know if it did (although I waited for a bit and it did get warm while connected to the Moto turbo charger). The Nexus toolkit doesn't see it if I try an "adb devices" command.
I've tried all the steps on Google's help page and also from this thread but it still won't power on. I don't know what to do anymore at this point. It was fully functional, no hard/soft brick of any kind.
Fyi, it is rooted, the bootloader is unlocked and I was running Chroma with ElementalX kernel. Please helps guys! :crying::crying:
Have you tried plugging it in to your computer and looking in devices? tried another charger?
@XDAcube, yes I did: I tried my friend's charger last night and my PC as well. Like I said, when I connect it to my PC, I get a Windows notification saying the driver for this device cannot be installed and that's it.

Yes add me on hangouts and i will try helping you out
Usually the red LED means your battery is dead. Charge it for an hour or two then try again.
@Face_Plant, I charged it overnight. It seemed to have worked because it was getting warm on the back (as usual) but I can't tell for sure since it doesn't turn on at all.

Well, I ended up sending it back for repair (it's still under warranty). They replaced the motherboard, battery and back cover, for free of course!
I did lose all my recent data but it couldn't be helped in that case. You might need to RMA yours as well...
when i first received my Nexus6 out of box, it was dead didnt turn on etc. i was freakin out that it might be a total defect device.
but it came with 0% charged i guess? and only after pluggin it into the chargin cable i managed to power it on,
did everyone else's nexus 6 came with 0% charged? or was it only me

werid.. maybe thats why mine is a defect screen..
it was basically dead out of box, unopened box eveyrhitng in place and sealed and the phone itself had the pre intsalled screen film on, i had to plug it to the wall until after 2minutes then i could turn the thing on :/
I would try to charge the phone using the wireless charger to see what will happen.
Wow! A zombie post ☺
