Screen not coming on, but a RED LED blinks ones and it vibrates?

Any ideas of what is up with my mates phone please?
Also when it is on charge the orange charging indicator comes on but not the screen?
He said it randomly shut off on mid text
Thanks

a drained battery. when the battery is dead on my phone, it displays the same behaviour (red led, vibrates once and doesn't power on).
the orange led is normal when charging. when charging from power-off state, screen will stay off till you turn it on.
tell your friend to fully change the battery

I thought this too mate, I have left it on charge for a bit and then turned it off and it does the same although this time, the buttons at the bottom have decided to light up?

i'm not sure then. maybe a faulty battery? just a wild guess. has he tried a factory reset? is the phone rooted?

The phone isn't rooted, any idea of how to factory reset without being able to see the screen?
The phone works as normal, eg the volume rocker works and the turn on sound, and button lights, but not the screen? :s faulty screen connection maybe?

oops, hit the thanks button by accident
faulty screen sounds like a possibility. i don't know how you would be able to do anything if the screen is not working.

[HELP] HTC One not turning on

Just wondering if anyone can help me out here..
My HTC is not turning on at all. I was using it fine, nothing was over heating and it was just in my pocket. I went to check on my phone and it was just off. Is there anything I can do, or possibly take it in for warranty. I have never owned a HTC so I don't know where to go for support. I am from Sydney Australia. Any help would be appreciated. I have left it on charge for 30 minutes - And nothing yet, not turning on

Havent rooted or unlocked at all I assume?
No lights or anytihng coming up? Try any button combinations, power and volume down, try it while the phone is not plugged in... report back with any findings.

It is unlocked and rooted.. Tried all combinations before posting this thread. Lights are not on at all when charging. At this point it seems dead, but the question is how?

It is not showing anything at all on my PC
Although when I hold the power down when plugged into my PC it makes the unplug sound and while still holding the power button long enough it has the plugged in sound. But nothing shows up on PC

Not sounding good at all. Hopefully someone else chimes in on this matter and has other ideas. Good luck.

Have you tried rebooting it via adb command?

Yeah i couldn't. it says Waiting for Device

Tried everything.. I bought this phone from Gumtree Australia a few months ago and that person got it from the Optus store via Contract I believe. But I don't have the Receipt however, I have the box and accessories and warranty stickers that come inside the box. Would I have to go through Optus store or is there a HTC One centre like they have Apple and Samsung centres/stores..
This question is probably only for Australian users

I heard of this before... Try plugging it into your computer and leave it for an hour. Then... (While still plugged in) hold it under a bright light and hold power + vol down, for a few minutes. I think this problem occurs because CWM allows the voltage to get too low for the phone to start. Good luck man

does it matter if the phone is plugged into the wall charger? Or it has to be the phone? Either way, i am going to try this out for sure! thanks

Well, when I heard this in another thread he said he fixed it by plugging it into the computer for an hour or so. Then the led turned red, then he put it into recovery and booted right into the ROM. Np hope it works out for you

The light has to be facing the phone. You can see the two sensors on the top left on the front, point the light there.

I fix mine by let it charge on wall plug for 4 days straight until red LED started to ON back..lets it charge for another 1/2 hr n press the power button to ON the device..weird..4 days just to gain back some juice due to battery completely die..

[Q] Phone won't turn on, red charging LED stays on, hardware buttons lit

Hey guys,
I left my HTC One to charge and when I tried to unlock it, it wouldn't respond. Right now it's a blank screen, the red LED is on even when I unplug the phone, and the hardware buttons are lit. I've tried to restart the phone by holding the power, holding power + volume down, but nothing is working. Device isn't showing up under adb or fastboot devices. What is going on? How can I fix this?
Help me out. Thanks!
-Coby
Edit: Recently this has been happening to my phone frequently, but I am usually able to get it to restart doing the methods said above. This is the first time I can't get it to do anything.

Put it under a stronger light and longpress power + vol-
Try this

I was actually searching through old threads and found that same answer and tried it. I can't believe it worked! Thanks! Why does this happen though? And will this hopefully prevent it from happening later on?

Are you rooted with a custom rom?
However, idk why it happened

Why the stronger light? Im confused! :cyclops:

This has worked for me a ton of times too, I guess it must just trigger something with the light sensor the phone has and wakes it up.

It happened to me when i was rooted and used CWM.
It happened everytime i let the battery run down completely.
I havent rooted my replacement yet and when i let it run down, charged it for ten minutes and it booted straight up.
Seems to be an issue with the phone reading the charge state of the safety circuit in the phone. Mere speculation but i havent heard of it happening to anyone who wasnt rooted with custom recovery....

Can you please give me a little bit more details?
I have exact the same issue: The battery ran out completely, then I can't charge it or turn it on.
I have tried
1. with charger connect to outlet, power + vol-
2. with charger connect to PC, power + vol-
3. under desk light, without charger connected, power + vol-
Nothing worked for me.
Some questions:
- Should I connect the cable when I attempt to turn on the phone?
- Is normal desk fluorescent light "bright enough"?
- Should I move the phone under the light first then press the button, or the other way around?
Thank you for your help!

i have the same problem in my htc eye. i tried your solution. but it won't worked for me. phone still on blank screen and red light is on. how can i fix it?????

Phone won't start

I flashed latest elemental kernel with android revolution HD 31.0 rom yesterday and everything worked fine until this morning. I was on a call this morning and the phone shut down during the call and just won't start ( I have already tried pressing power button for a minute, power button _ up/down keys ). Phone had more than 50% charging when it died. Am I screwed or is there some way I can get the phone to power back on?
Please HELP !

Plug it in your computer, what is the device manager recognizing it as? Does it say "Qualcomm HSUSB" or similar?

Then you should be good, just charge it overnight (is the LED working?) and try booting it up in the morning.

Appreciate the helpful links. Unfortunately none of those options have worked for me and I probably need to let it charge overnight to see if that works. The LED doesn't come on at all and so not sure if it's a different issue .
Also haven't tried charging in bright light today as we have bad weather today with dark skies and less light.

Bright light not needed for charging, it's when you try to "simulate a battery pull".

Phone randomly shut off and wont turn back on

Ok so i just got out of work and went to look at my phone and i pushed the power button and nothing happened. so I held the power button to see if it just shut off ad that also didnt do anything, so then i tried charging... still nothing, volume down + power... nothing. Can you guys please help me with this? I have absolutely no idea whats wrong, and it makes no sense because I literally hadnt changed or done anything with it all day, and i havent changed ROM's recently either(running Insertcoin 6.0.3 if that makes any difference).

Sounds toasted.

Hold down both power button and vol down until hardware lights start blinking and keep holding until it reboots.

if it's under warranty take it for repair.

For anyone returning to this thread looking for the solution to the qhsub_dload problem, i contacted HTC and the only way to fix it is to send it in for repair.

i am quite late... but if did it boot up using these tricks?
(original thread: [GUIDE][FIX] Solve Bootloops and no OS on phone!
Basic issues and troubleshooting? Here it goes​
Q: I can't start up my device, not even the soft buttons are lighting up!
A: I know, it sound strange, but you have to do the following thing:
Hold your HTC One below a bright lights source and hold the power button for about 15 seconds or even longer. The charging light will light up. Then hold down the volume down button and try different key combinations!​
Q: I still can't boot up my device!
A: Hold volume down and volume up button and the power button for about 90 seconds. If this doesn't work, try holding your phone below bright light again​

could be memory problem
it could be a memory problem, do you have enough RAM? sometimes the phone also restarts if it lacks free RAM for its apps to be run
