Red light always on - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my HTC One phone there is a red light which is constantly on. It is on the screen near the upper left side. I've closed all apps but it is still on, quite confused anyone able to shed some light?

Have you changed your phone at all eg unlocked and put custom rom / kernel on?
That red light is the charging light. Not sure why it is always on. Id suggest a simple power off and on should sort the issue for you. Looks as it if has got locked in some sort of cycle.

Those annoying flashing leds...

OK so i can live with the BT/wifi led as I keep them turned off mostly so the led doesn't flash. But the right led, the one that shows phone status is so bright and really annoying. At night my whole room flashes green!!!
I've followed the regedit in the wiki and turned off the led which was wonderfull, but as soon as I connect a charger the led comes back on and then flashes when the charger is removed.
Is it possible without taking the BA apart, to permanently disable the green led?
I keep a bit of blu tac by the bed and each night cover the led with that. Simple but effective.

Upper led colors

Hi guys,
is it possible to use the upper led as notification like in the other android phones?And if so is it possible to change the colors and the blinking time?
I did some searchs about this issue but i found nothing.
I too am wondering this, i just recently noticed that on a very low battery the upper led starts flashing
yeah same here, looks lilke only design for battery status.
im not confident in an api way to change it, and it might not even flash or blink, and still not very visible.
sry but i never eard of a tweak for that, but could be interresting too.

When I had a G1, it had LED notifications on the top of the phone which were very useful. The N1 only has the trackball light but it's really sl-ooo-www... I also wish the LEDs lit up as well.

[Q] HTC One (m7) Green LED not working

I currently have a stock HTC One in Canada on the Telus network.
The last few weeks i noticed the LED light growing dim. About a week ago the phone rebooted itself only to say it had an issue and that it was not shutdown correctly.. and asked if i wanted to report the problem to HTC.
The phone the froze with the Screen on but a black background.
After 15 minutes i powered off the phone.
At this point the phone would not power back on.. when i plugged the power in to the phone from the wall the phone would not indicate that it was charging via LED.
I tried booting no response.. no vibrating,.. just slight flashing lights on the Home/back buttons
I ended up booting up the phone by shining a bright light into the light sensor while holding Power and DOWN volume..
Phone has been working fine ever since, however still no LED.
I did a factory reset and still no LED.
Has anyone see anything like this?
I want to root and install Google Edition Android however if the hardware is faulty i dont want to risk voiding the warranty and being stuck with a faulty phone.

This has happened to me too. Just one day noticed no led light anymore. Strange thing to break down on a phone! Have you had any joy in getting a fix?

Unfortunately I have not been successful getting the LED back.. I am debating sending the phone in for Warranty work... or just sucking it up and rooting/flashing custom roms.
My main concern is that there may be a bigger hardware issue going on internally.
I'm really just trying to get a feel of how common this issue is..

Try this: in dialer type *#*#3424#*#* (3424 = DIAG), that will bring up HTC internal diagnostic, there's a "LED Test", select and run it to see if it's a hardware defect or not (you will get Orange and Green LED tests).

Thanks for the info.. Just tried it the LED test .
To my surprise the Green and Orange lights actually show up but I have to hold it to my eye and block out any external light to see anything.. kind of defeats the purpose of an LED notification light..
I guess the light works its just extremely DIM.
Any way of controlling the LED light brightness?

Don't know, but I just ran the same test in a very well lit environment and the Green and Orange LED are quite bright... I don't have to "go look for them" they pop out nicely.
Are you using a cover of any kind? Or maybe the LED has somehow shifted it's position and is being partially covered by the speaker grill? Hate to say it, but sounds like a hardware issue. Sorry
Hope someone else has other ideas.

Not using any case that would cover the LED.. that being said even with the Case off.. the LED is still very dim.

Shouldn't affect it. I've been using ARHD 9 through 13.3 and works with all of them.

I have the same problem. Did factory reset two times. Red when charging, green when full but no flashing green for notification. I enabled it in settings.
Have you manage to find a solution for the problem?
Thanks.

I am having the same issue! The light works, but it doesn't blink for notifications!!

I also have the same problem: when it is charging and when it is fully charged the light works OK but doesn't flash for notifications. But it worked OK some time ago. Actually, when I think about it, it seems that the problem started after I had updated to the current firmware: Android version 4.3, HTC Sense version 5.5, software number 3.62.401.1
It must be issue with firmware/software because LED test works fine.
There's another thread similar to this one and someone there figured out the solution - you do a factory reset but, when the phone reboots, you do not restore everything using your Google account. Go through the setup as normal (without restoring) and once that is complete then you can add your Google account details.
It means you have to download and set up your apps again, but it is worth it to get the LED working.
HI I had a similar problem I cleaned out the hole with a needle and all is well, pin came out dirty (the one on the grill dirt was blocking led )

Charging when phone off with latest firmware

Hey guys,
after flashing the latest 3.57 firmware, when trying to charge my phone whiles its off, the screen lights up with a large battery icon and the red warning text of the hboot, then it suddenly shows CWM's screen and lastly it displays a black fully-lit screen while both the charging led and the bottom led keys light up. Is this normal behaviour? Does anyone else experience this?
Thanks in advance.

Mine has always done this when I have CWM installed. I believe someone made a customized version that does not do that, I normally don't ever turn my phone off though so I haven't tried it. I believe it can be found in the CWM thread.
