Simulate battery pull problem - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else had trouble doing simulated battery pull? Ive done it before but when I just went to try it, it gets to 1 sec and doesnt reboot. Even held 30 secs longer and nothing. Anyone have any idea why that is? Will it only allow simulated battery pull when phone freezes?

I had to have the sensor in front of my laptop when I was doing stuff in the dark.

Weird how the proximity sensor can effect the powering on/off of a device. Never had that probem before. Then again Ive only owned one other phone without a removable battery. Had the htc 4g lte for a short time before getting this htc one. Is this just a software "glitch" that could be fixed with an software update or something in the htc one hardware?

Sad part is, wasnt long ago I read somewhere on xda how someone was told to do the bright light when they couldnt get their phone to power on and it worked. Never dawned on me to try that to restart it..well simulate battery pull anyways. Never seems to restart (maybe Im just impatient lol) without pressing power to get it to boot back up.

Never own a phone with build n battery so this is new to me. But cool tip I will remember this.
You just aim the light sensor but the speak to a bright light and press n hold power?

Yep if you want to do a simulated battery pull or have trouble doing it or getting your phone to power on. Just hold phone (sensor part anyways) under bright light and it should work

Optimus black soft keys random clicks

My phone is now unusable, once you turn it on the soft keys will light up on their own, any idea how to fix? It will randomly click home button and will exit everything you're doing.
Could it be my screen digitizer? I'm running the ics leak.

Did it get wet maybe? I would definitly give a try to another ROM, but it dont think it s a SW problem, but just to be sure...

cover the 2 sensors on the top left with a piece of folded paper or something, do they light up?
Ah yes .. I'm sat under a bright light doooh thank you
Thought my home and back was faulty . It sometimes is less responsive than other times (double tap to get multi apps ) but I'm presuming that's a software glitch
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Others are reporting issues with the buttons sometimes not responding, not sure if it's a software glitch, or just a small footprint for the buttons, ie you have to press right on the button and not in the general area if you know what i mean.
Cool I'll relax then and stop worrying my phone is faulty. Big thanks

I would monitor how you go with pressing the buttons, it may be a glitch, but i know when i'm using mine, i am often off the button when i press it, being used to the One X for the last year, the buttons are further to the edge, so automatically i have been pressing further out than the actual buttons are.
I always turn mine off. Just saying lol

The capacitive area is in fact VERY small. Just barely bigger than the Home and Back icons themselves. Precision touch is required and is why I suspect some think its not responsive

How do you turn them off ?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I use an app called keyboard backlights from play. Works great but recently in occasions they come on anyway. They are off 80% of the time though. Can only do if your rooted btw

Try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39498430&postcount=7
Seems that the One has very small area of touch for buttons, so probably not software problem.
Turn on vibrate and you will realise how small of an area we have .. seems the way it's been designed and not a bug . Vibrate assists because you know when your missing now don't have the issue

[Q] brightness level outdoors

Delete thread. Culprit is power save mode. Silly me, I should've known

Really? Honesty I have a hard time believing you and please don't take that as rude. My device I find is usually too bright. Maybe try turning powersave off and set the brightness up a bit. SLCD3 screens are ultra battery friendly compared to my One X with SLCD2 so don't feel like you need to have it on the lowest setting.

He's referring to when it's on power saver mode. It doesnt adjust properly so the only solution is to disable power saver for the time youre In the sun

Thanks for reading between the lines.
I went for a walk with the kids and wanted to take pics, took the phone out without making adjustments, and I could barely see the screen.

Another noob question

I only got this phone yesterday and I was wondering if the 2 buttons with side of the HTC logo should light up?
Mine don't light up and there hard to see in the dark...
I tried finding a setting but I can't see anything.
Thanks for replies
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Yes they should light up when the phone is in use
They do light, but not at any time. I Guess it has something to do with the auto-brightness-sensor... So if it dark it'll turn on the button lights

Dead phone

Well here's my scenario. My M8 is completely stock. While doing a profile update the phone froze. After 3-4 minutes I pushed the power button. The screen shut off and that was it. Now I can't even get the little light to come on when charging it. Any ideas folks

If it is still in your 14 day period return it, other wise use htcs support
Try holding volume up and down + power, can take up to 2 minutes. If not return it.

Mine did the same thing. I had to send it to HTC. My replacement is on its way. Turnaround is about a week from the day you send it.

I'm not sure as to what happened, but in the morning about 12 hrs after it happened I put it on the charger and the light came on. It was blinking do I let it charge and now it's OK. The phone does notify me that it did an abnormal restart and that it wanted to send a report to htc.
