Hello guys my HTC One that I got around launch suddenly decided to quit out on me. It had died because I was using it. I charged it for a bit and then it died again so I put it back to charge and no LED light. I've switched out with multiple cables and nothing seems to be working. So I'm going to go on a limb here and say its bricked. Any other words of advice?
Btw it is a T-Mobile phone so what do I do if it is in fact bricked? Will they replace it for me because I would hate to buy another phone because this thing isn't cheap. Thank you guys in advance
Rooted? Which ROM?
Um, sure I guess? Should this be in a different section?

which rom were you using?
Make sure it's fully charged! Then unplug power cord. hold both power and down volume buttons around 30 second or more. That worked for me!

You can also try leaving the phone plugged in and trying to remove and reinsert the battery until it turns on.
the battery was alright till the day before. you really think that might be the issue?
The HTC guys said something must be up with the flex wire or something . anybody now bout that.?

It could be a faulty power button (it happens a lot). Read this:

If it was a bad flex cable, it means that your power button would stop working. My suggestion was because I thought your power button went bad. If it didn't work, it is probably related to the battery or some other hardware issue. I can't remember, does the N1 function without a battery if left plugged in?

nope. it just shows the orange light while charging. but refuses to come on. :\
Is there any way to find out for sure if power button is broken without sending it to HTC centre first ?
Well, if you battery is completely toast AND your power button doesn't work, I don't know if you would be able to get it to turn on by removing and reinserting the battery while the phone is plugged in.

Do you have a friend that has a Nexus One? Maybe you could borrow the battery to see if that is the problem.

Well, depending on what all you wanna throw at it, you can pick up some cheap batteries off amazon for $10-$20. Who knows how long they will last, and who knows if they are actually related to your problem, but for that amount, it may be worth it to try.

hehe. i will make the service fellows try a spare battery in front of me for free instead .
He said that if it recently fell (which it most probably did) then the flex wire might be dislocated fixing which is 5$ (250 INR) . If its broken then it will be 42$ for replacement. Will get it checked up tomo mostly.
Those prices seem really reasonable. I think the flex boards for the power button go on ebay for around $40. Sounds like a great company!

Do yourself a favor and just get a flex cable replacement. The prices are around $40 and they aren't too bad to replace.
Popping the battery in and out should be real quick
I had the same problem . Just plug in the charger and keep removing and putting the battery back real fast till it comes on. Usually will within ten times . Its a sureshot. Thank if it helps.

i agree with 2 post above...
connect your charger into led indicator turn on
pull N1 battery
after led is turn off...put the battery back fast...
gud luck
Charger and battery pull works fine, I dud this for almist a year. I replaced the flex board a month ago to regain the button use. I must say that the Chinese boards have a snappier button and denser support foam for the button. Only $50 for the board on eBay. Very easy to replace. Good luck!

try replacing the battery. I have seen a lot of that happen on rooted devices where when the battery hits 0% it will not respond to a charger or anything. I am having the same problem but have not replaced the battery yet
i don't have any other battery
Did you try the hard reset (holding the power button for 10 seconds)? Does the battery picture show up on the screen if you connect the charger?

Hey. I just had this issue today. I thought my phone got bricked without doing anything. I was using it then 10 mins later it won't respond when i took it out of my pocket..
I had about 80% battery when it died this morning. I tried to boot it to recovery or download mode but nothing....
I finally tried using my bro-inlaw's battery but still nothing...
I blew my battery contacts and pins... Removed the sim and sdcard then placed battery back.
Tried turning it on normally... It did! My battery was at 59% when it finally turned on..
I'm on PA v0.4 with white gnote unit.
I think it may have been the unit acting up, not the rom.
Any thoughts?

Hey mate thats a sympton of battery going completely dead, try another battery or try to charge your battery with a external battery charger. Dont worry your note is fine just the battery gone dead.
First of all manage for charged battery, then only picture gets clear.
If it solve your problem then you may need not to do anything.
today i visited sams service centre after checking my fone they said that my note get oveheated and my motherboard blown up.. they said that it will be replaced in 3 days till then i have to wait

Hi, I am a user of velicty 4g from HK. (My English is really rubbish, sorry)
As shown in the title, my phone is dead suddenly when i was listening to music.
The following conditions are given.
Phone: Velocity 4g
Rom: Borken Rom Sense 4.1 ver.3.6 (Android 4.0.4)
The phone usually go out suddenly(about one-two time per day), it could be restarted by resetting the battery, but this time cannot.
Phone won't charge neither no orange light shown and the button won't vibrate when pressing it.
The monitor is on and give a black screen if I take out sim card and sd card.
The monitor is also on with a black screen if I charge the phone without battery.
Won't get into recovery nor bootloader.
Won't detected by computer when linked with the USB cable
I prefer not to have warrenty because i had it just 2 weeks ago due to the broken monitor glass....(HKD1300! I don't want to pay anymore!)
no one reply? wtf....?
First off... we are not HTC tech support... that's why people post that disclaimer...
Second... have you read the other topics in this thread...
Third... and most important... what recovery are you using...

May need a new battery to get the phone back on so you can boot up and change recovery.

The phone cannot turn on even a new battery is installed...
Do you think it is the problem with motherboard?
Should have read the forum and used twrp cwm causes problems on this phone. Not sure what you can do but if you get it fixed install twrp

Have you tried a different USB cable or charger? If the phone is not charging and you have tried a different battery (do you have an external charger for the battery) you might be at the end of your luck. Basic logical troubleshooting, start with power (battery, charger, outlet) and expand from there. If you have tried changing the battery but the battery was dead or your charger is faulty you could still have no power. Do you have a friend with the same phone, maybe have them loan you their battery.
Thank you!

Tried everything....
And finally HTC said the warrenty fee is HKD2060 (I bought this phone with HKD3000). I think i would buy a new one. (i won't buy htc again because it is very hard to buy accessories and the warrenty fee is too harsh for me.)
Hi,
My IncS has started playing up over the past week or so.
Every night now, when I get up in the morning I have to remove the battery from the phone and power it back up as it has totally frozen.
Another weird thing is the battery is normally really drained once I have it powered back up. Doesn't have any problems during the day at all, never freezes or anything but overnight when it is plugged in to charge,it dies.
I've tried replacing the battery (I had a spare) as it only happens when mains charging and, like I said, when it is turned back on the battery is substantially lower then when it was plugged in but that didn't help.
I tried totally wiping the phone and installing a new ROM (szeszo's lovely new cyanogen with his Tesco kernal) and it is still happening...
Anyone else experienced this? Any idea what's caused it? And finally, does anyone know a way I can do so kind of logs about what is going on?
Thanks...
I had the same issue too. Was USB connector related. Had to sent my device to htc repair

Try a different USB cable on the charger
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app
Unfortunately it didn't turn out to be the USB port or cable. Thanks for the suggestions though.
It started freezing when it wasn't plugged in at all and it was doing my nut in...
Yesterday I bought a Note 2 and it gets delivered today. I know, it's huge and I'll probably end up selling it on when I get fed up of having to carry it round in a wheel barrow
It is such a damn shame to be putting the IncS to sleep at last. It's been a damn good phone for a long time (probably the longest I've ever used 1 phone for!). Somehow I can't imaging the Note being as well made as this was. The moment HTC do a Nexus phone I'll be selling whatever I have and buying up cos that will be awesome.
Anyway, guess I'll be off to the Note forums now.
Later guys, and thanks...
