[Q] Fast Boot - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How long does it take to restart your HTC One?
Does fast boot only work when turning the phone off, then starting it manually again? If I switch off, then power on it boots in no time at all.. less than 10 seconds. However if I select restart, rather than switch off, the phone reboot cycle takes about a minute, fast boot ticked or not ticked makes no difference.
Also, seems to eat 3% battery with each restart. That also normal?
Stock HTC One on EE UK, not rooted.
Thanks

Normal restart without fastboot is probably 20 seconds or so for me.. maybe 30

Holding the power button for 10 Sec or more. It will reboot the phone. Give it a try.
I heard you hold it for 20 seconds to simulate a battery pull.

[Q] 4.3 Low Battery Reboot Cycle

Hey guys, I've got a bit of a problem after the latest 4.3 update. My phone battery went to 7% and then suddenly to 0%, upon which it turned off. Now whenever I try to turn it on the red light flashes and whenever I try to turn it on whilst charging (because I don't think it charges if I just leave it plugged in), it just enters a reboot cycle, whereby it goes to the lock screen, shows the "Shutting Down" window and reboots. I have no clue how to fix this.
I don't really care about the phone at this point, but I do have some photos I want to keep from there...
Any ideas? The software hasn't been pampered with.
same here
hey, feeling with you.
I recently updated my Xperia T to 4.3.
While in 4.1.2 the "low battery" behavior was quite weird, as my T did not charge (no red LED), I was able to get it back to life by pressing and holding the power button for quite some time, lets say 5 min. or so, as it was loading then. This was independent from whether it was exhausted (blinking red LED) or "simply of"(not blinking but not charging anyways).
Through this whole power pressing procedure (I just wrapped the cord around the phone several times) the LED was red and the phone was charging, but it did not turn on. After the 5 min. I freed the T an hit the power button again. Now it was booting as expected and did not immediately go off again.
On 4.3 unfortunately this does not work anymore . The phone just tries to boot and enters the reboot cycle as you described (with the difference that it does shut down instead of reboot).
Now first I would like to know, if your T behaved like mine under 4.1.2 (guessing that was your last Version too). From what I've read I assume that wasn't really normal behavior. I think there must be something wrong with the hw, as my 4.1.2 was neither unlocked nor modified in any other way.
Second I would advise you boot into recovery and select boot into bootloader* (if you have installed one) or connect your T to your PC and boot into flashmode (power+vol.down I guess) as it might charges in there. The recovery worked for me, flashmode should work, but I never tried.
Finally I guess chances are good, that your device works totally normal if it gets charged again (just don't let it run out of energy again )
btw. does the Xperia T normally charge while it's powered off? Anyone has send his phone back on warranty because of charging problems?
good luck to you,
wk
*I am using this 4.3 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647459) atm, as I have root there. But the recovery is really buggy right now so it just restarts all the time. I'm not quite sure where the "boot into bootloader" option gets you ( never heard, that you could boot into bootloader on an xperia device) but the LED shines blue and the T charges and that's important right?
Yeah, my T would sometimes do that when the battery completely drained. I'd have to hold the button for a few minutes while the red light was on until it booted and started charging autonomously.
Now that doesn't work. It doesn't charge when it's off and when I connect it to the charger and turn it on, it restarts. Eventually though the battery drains completely and the old trick works again, but even when it manages to boot to the lock screen, it shows 0% battery again and restarts.
I've tried turning it on while holding the power+down button and charging. The green light came on and disappeared but it started rebooting again. Same with connecting it to my PC.
Can you remove the battery?
Same thing happens to mine,and i just remove battery,plug it without battery,it starts,then put the battery back on.
And it charges fine.

But the battery is inbuilt, no? Would I have to disassemble it?

So I think you are facing the same issue as mine... the phone has no time to charge. So what I did was flash an OmniRom with only the SystemUI apk and launcher apk. The intention was to make the boot time shorter so that the battery will not go down by the time it boots. But it ended up causing a bootloop: it was constantly stuck in the bootanimation. And it does charge during the bootanimation. So I let it be like that for about 30 minutes, rebooted to recovery and flashed the stock rom. And all my data was safe. This is more like a fluke so try it and maybe it would work.
If you can disassemble it, then yes, you can do the battery thing. There is just one screw under the SIM flap. I didn't do it because my screw driver kit was borrowed.
The battery trick worked! Now it discharges really fast though.
5% in less than 5 minutes...

[Q] Severe bootloop problem

All of a sudden, in my pocket, without me doing anything, after being working flawlessly for two weeks running ARHD62 and being s-off, my H1 shut down and now it shuts down every 5 seconds and reboots until the battery runs out...when starting to load the battery, the phone immediately starts rebooting/shutting down.
I can get the phone into boot-loader but there I can't make any choices and after 5 seconds the phone shuts down and reboots, after showing the HTC logo for 5 seconds it shuts down and reboots.
I can't communicate with the phone through fastboot or ADB, I can't get into recovery. Any one have any idea how to salvage my phone?

if your phone bootloop in bootloader, there is not much you can do, its hardware defect. Send it for repair.

[Q] Help! Incredible s not booting

So, here's the whole story. My phone's display cracked after it fell. But everything was working normally and the touch response was as good as ever. Being the grade A procrastinator that i am, i used the phone for a few weeks delaying taking it to service. One day the phone charged out. I charged it fully but it wouldn't turn on(but it used to vibrate on pressing the power button like it usually does when switching on). I took out the battery and switched it on again...i did this for about 10 times when it powered on. I continued using it when again one fateful day it charged out overnight (i forgot to charge it when battery was less than 10%). It wouldn't turn on again even after taking out the battery and switching on... for like a 50 times. Then i booted into recovery by pressing vol down and power and then after 10 seconds again pressing vol down then enter(since recovery is the second option in hboot). So, now i'm perplexed..was it the display that's not working?..and then it booted into recovery and the display was perfect. I performed a clean wipe and re-installed the rom that i had been using(Vivokat). The problem persisted. Why is the display working only when the phone is booted into recovery?? Then i decided to unroot the phone and then installed the stock ruu..now as you know the recovery is stock HTC's..i can't boot even into recovery. any suggestions?

Mi Mix won't power off

I know it's a long shot, but I decided to give it a try.
I can see several threads of MiMix not turning on, but mine is doing exactly the opposite, it won't turn off.
Over the last year, I have been using a Pixel 2XL as my main phone and my MiMix just for Android Auto.
After a few months, out of the blue, the issue started. I hold the power button, choose turn off and it immediately powers on again. I can boot into fastboot, flashed twrp and when I power off from TWRP, the same happens. It immediately turns on again and stays like that until the battery dies.
I have tried using the flash_all.sh script from lithium_global_images_V10.0.1.0.OAHMIFH_20180831.0000.00_8.0_global_6af721a86e.tgz. The phone turns on, but during the initial setup wizard it just hangs, sometimes it reboots on its own, sometimes it just stays frozen until I reboot it myself; and I still cannot power it off, without letting the battery drain out.
Any suggestion about what I can do with it, or do I have an expensive paperweight with me?
Thank you for reading.
Try changing the sim card, or just removing it.
Long shot, but easy to test.
