[Q] HTC One Suddenly Died! Common Issue? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My HTC ONE (M7, not rooted, no mod bootloader or anything else) suddenly died the other day. Had it in a charger/holder in the car, was reading messages, as the phone froze, nothing to do. Tried normal restart, nothing happened, then tried to hold power button for some ten seconds, the screen turned off, and the charging light stayed lit red. Next I tried to hard-reset with power and vol. down buttons, after that the phone bricked. No lights, no response at all, just plain dead.
I updated to Android 4.3 a few weeks ago, without any glitches, worked fine until...
I returned the phone to my dealer and after a day, I got a message that the phone has to be shipped to HTC for further repair attempts.
I had the same thing with my old HTC One V, just died. searched the net and found several others with the same problem, seemed to be common fault. Got it repaired, worked fine since then. I also did a search for problems with the ONE, but found nothing.
Could it be the same with the ONE? Probably I'm one of the first with this problem, and we have to expect a lot more of this?
Others with the same problem?

I would check that your chargers (including your car charger) returns the correct current, with a Fluke or something similar. For all we know one of your chargers could be faulty and giving out too high voltage, messing with the lifetime of your battery/batteries.
I've never heard of his kind of incident though. But then again, these kind of things can always happen with electronics...

I wouldn't say it's uncommon. Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45632154

I'm on my 4th One, and it's dying as of today. 4 phones in 3 months.
Two of them overheated and drained fast than could be charged, one died like you described, and the other had a screen that didn't display anything half of the time.

Yup same issue for me...
Was using my One.. Ended a call.. Screen went black and couldn't start it!!
When i put the charger in the charging symbol came up on screen but still could not boot the handset... Tried all the options of holding down the keys and even shining a light on the sensors while booting, nothing!
Called HTC.. They arranged to pick it up.. Went into repair.. It was returned 4 days later working once again. I have no idea what they did but it's working now. And now up for Sale!!! Shame as i loved the handset but I'm not that impressed

I've got my phone back january, 4. and got the following description:
Repaired at High Level repairshop
Replaced parts:
Speakers
Flex board
Camera
Micro sim tray
Cover part
LCD Display
Touch module
Main board
Battery
Software updated at extern shop
Basicly a new phone... But absolutely no explanation about what was wrong

Hi there,
I have a common issue. I ran out of battery and i left it charging but the % didn't rise. Tried all the charges in the house, for wall and computer. After 1 hour the red light stopped blinking and the One didn't want to do anything. Tried everything and when I gave up I ordered a new battery. Today I just replace it extremely carefully and when I tried to turn it one Bang, the same thing. Still does not one to power on. I come to think there is something to do with the main board or some little part that does not give a proper contact.
Does anyone of you know what I can do now or at least how to check if the problem come from something else?
Thank you very much!

i just made a post regarding this earlier tonight = / and the car mode is now happening to me now. I called htc support like 5 hours ago and they were absolutely no help at all. "reboot your phone into safe mode" did that "is the problem still occurring?" why yes it is still not charging when on... then they say it must be a hardware problem and to use my warranty and thanked me for my patience and please continue using htc.
I dont know why they have tech support that does not know how to support a recent common occurring problem. I don't even mind the warranty phone as much but i just took a ton of photos and videos the last month and i cant even back them up to my computer now.

Hey after reading through that other thread i did what they said about turning off the developer options and fast boot and it seems to be charging when plugged into the wall but it still will not connect to the computer. Also seems like the car mode is not turning on any more and after resetting it a few times earlier the apps do not open in landscape. So the only issue that remains is the usb connection to the computer although the whole situation is still ridiculous and i do not know how htc wants to pass it off as a hardware issue = / if you find a solution please let me know.

After I restart my phone by pressing volume down key and power key with charger plugged in, it starts to charge and also charge when connected to pc but pc wont detect it. No USB drive no syn manager. (note- I dont not enter bootloader by restarting. just leave power and volume down key immediately after screen is off, else u will get in Bootloader.)
I cant even root.
Any way I think i will sell this phone if no problem occurs.
Regards,
Also if i change any setting regarding USB connection type or developers option or fast boot option and charging stops and i have to again plug in charger and start with power and volume down key.
Other than that some problems keep rising like speaker get on automatically when i take call , dial screen rotates, it keep asking "complete action with day dream or Tunein radio"
Yeah idk now my phone seems to be working fine but yesterday I list sound for like 10 hours so I just called my carrier and they are sending me a new one. Hope you manage to get a decent amount of cash for your phone man

Doesn´t seem to be too unsusual.
My phone (unrooted) began with the not charging problem after about three weeks. There is also a notification telling that I should connect a charger that is supported (shouldn't the original charger from HTC be supported). About at the same time it also decided that all apps should run in landscape mode and it at the same time become a painful thing to answer the phone by routine as it decided to activate the loudspeaker.
The problems are however quite intermittent and disappears and comes back without any known trigger.
I had the device on service when they updated firmware, run what ever tests they run and tried to charge it. All tests passed and I got it back. Everything seemed ok but day two the phone refused to charge again. Back to the store again where they also tried to charge but (luckily enough) got the same result as I.
It seems like if the battery is totally drained, the device starts charging after some while. Before it starts charging as it should, the red light goes on and off for some time.
I have exactly the same symptoms with my HTC One. It does not change until it's fully empty and turned off. Then it does change. The orange LED blinks 5 times and after that it start blinking very slowly.
I sended my phone on repair. True a webportal Im able to see any progression. I noticed they also uploaded a photo, see attachment.
It clearly seems to be missing a small element on the motherboard. (near the arrow). What I find weird thought, is that it seems to be the head of the phone and not the bottom near the USB port.
They also had some trouble opening the device as you can see between the two white stickers on the bottom of the phone. I'll keep you posted on any progression...

It didn`t always start charging. Sometimes I have had to plug the connector in 10 or 20 times before anything happened. Otherwise it did not start charging until the battery was completely drained.
Everytime it does not charge, the little icon in the left corner tells me that I should connect a supported device.
I sent a question to HTC support about the problem and got the recommendation to send it to a repair center (where it already is) and they actually gave an answer on my question if HTC are aware about the problems. The answer was "We know about it and work on a solution".
Interesting if that actually is true and not just a too quick answer from someone that wanted to close the case at the a technical support.
Has anybody else asked the question?
Any one having charging and USB problem with HTC One had ever charged his/her phone by any other charger (not the charger u get in box) even for once ? I did that all the time !!!
Yeah, I always used a Samsung charger with mine and it works a treat, I just sent mine back to my network provider and they sent it off for repair, obviously, they put it down as a hardware issue and replaced the damaged device with a refurbished device which I don't care about because of rather have one that works than not

QHSUSB_DLOAD, Dead Phone, Stock OS

My GFs HTC One, for the second time now (two different phones), has gone dead out of nowhere.
The first time she plugged it in and went to bed. All was well with it when it was plugged in. Woke up and nothing worked. No charging lights, nothing. Sent it in for warranty repair and T-Mobile/HTC said that the LCD screen was broke and that it was due to user damage (basically trying to say the phone was dropped, which it wasn't). They sent out a new phone, we sent back the broken one. A week later they charged our bill for the repairs and I had to call in 3 times in order to get them to finally waive those charges.
Now, a few months later, this new phone does the same thing. In the middle of using it, while it had plenty of battery, the screen went black. Same exact thing, would not power back on. Now we are in the process of waiting for the next phone to be shipped so we can ship this one back. And I'm fairly certain that they're going to try and use the same excuse again.
The only response that we get from the phone is when it is plugged into a computer and it asks to install the QHSUSB_DLOAD driver (which does nothing upon trying to install). After searching these forums, and Google, I noticed that everyone with this exact problem was trying to install a custom ROM. That is not the case with us. The OS on the phone's were never altered. The phone's were never unlocked. Nothing like that at all.
I don't really have a question that I'm asking here. From what I've read, it looks like the phone is basically bricked and there's nothing that can fix it. I just wanted to make this post so others know that this can happen to non-rooted phones too.
I'll follow up here once T-Moble/HTC give me the outcome of this second phone.
Exact same problem here.

QHSUSB_DLOAD = hard brick, needs motherboard to be replaced

[Q] Xperia T Bricked

I got a secondhand Xperia T a couple of months ago. The phone was originally bought in 2012 in Ireland. The phone is now unlocked to any network.
Friday two weeks ago the phone stoped working. What happened was, the battery was on around 15%. By the time i got round to charging it it had gone flat. After plugging it into the wall charger for around half hour the solid red light was on indicating charging but the phone wouldnt turn on. I left it for a while but it was still the same. I notcied that when i pressed the unlock button the screen would slightly light up but no picture. the phone could recieve texts and calls but i couldnt see anything. I took it to my nearest phone specialist. He tried re installing the software but had no luck. He said it was bricked. I then gave it to my uncle who is usually nifty with these sorts of things. He also came back and said it was bricked. I then did some reading of my own and came across the advise to re install soft ware through pc companion. I did that and it said it was successful but the phone was still the same.
Last night i was following the repair thread on here (cant find link right now)
The problem i had was i didnt know witch stock ftf file i need to download or where to download from.
Can someone give me a link to an irish stock ftf and give me a quick run throuhg of how to fix
P.s. This is whats happening with the phone now:
When plugged into the wall charger I get a green light, that goes out after a few seconds then the changes to red and proceeds to charg normally.
Phone still vibrates, and receives calls.
When the on button and + or - vol are pressed it vibrates like its supposed to but then nothing happens
If it still receives calls and you've already used PCC to repair the software and it said successful then its clearly not bricked... I'd suggest start looking for a replacement screen.

I've had that happen to a laptop a few years ago. Came out of the wintery -10°C outside into the balmy 25°C of a friends home, 2 minutes later I took the laptop iut of the frozen bag and the temp shock was enough to crack the screen.
So yes, it's possible, but with shrinking screen size the probability of this decreases.
I don't know where you're from, but (winter) weather can be an electronics killer. Especially when the device is heating up rapidly after being brought out of the cold into a warm house or car. Rapid temp shifts can lead to cables moving out of their connectors, solder joints cracking and air moisture can condensate and move into delicate electronics
i live in ireland, it is probally 5'c at night in my house where the phone was and it wouldnt be much warmer in the car and then in work, so i dont see that being the problem, especially since it has been colder and had no effect on the phone

Well no its not common, but neither are bricked phones that receive calls, SMS and successfully take a software repair
I stand by what I said but if you want to try flashtool take any stock rom you like just follow the guide. They all have all languages so I'd go for generic CE1 if you want unbranded and CE2 if you want Skyfall theme these are new 4.3 ones. You could even apply a older 4.1 and let it update from that if your region is even out yet.
alright ill try that later then, whats the difference between branded and unbranded.?
also can you link a stock rom for me

[Q] Phone keeps shutting down. Three vibrations

My Xperia Sp brought on contract from EE was working fine until earlier this week. The phone had 30% charge left when the phone shutdown. When i went to turn it back on, the phone vibrated three times and nothing happened. I tried plugging the phone into the mains and charging but the phone kept vibrating in a series of three vibrations. I tried the common answer to any problem with this phone and held the power off button at the back in and pressed the on button but this didn't work. I have also tried other combos such as the one Sony emailed me which was to hold power up followed by the on button but this did not work. The next day the phone magically turned on and i used this as an opportunity to back up my data off the internal memory and re-flash the stock android 4.3(12.1.A.0.266). The phone lasted a couple of hours but then did the same as before and kept vibrating. I left the phone a bit and when i got it to power on again, i flashed android 4.1.2 (12.0.A.2.245) onto the phone. The phone worked for only an hour before shutting down again and not turning on. I have tried various shops in my town, the first said they think it is software but they couldn't fix it, the second said it is a battery issue but they would have to order in a new battery and I also tried EE who refused to even look at it as my contract didn't come with warranty. Sony have emailed me back asking me to send it off to them, but i have no proof of purchase so that is out of the question. I have also searched Google for hours trying to find a solution but the only on that sounded remotely like my issue was apparently a sleep problem, but this is clearly not the case. I would really appreciate any help anyone can give to me about this issue. Thanks in advance to any help given

Thanks for the quick reply. I have noticed that the button looks a bit damaged but i had no idea this could be the problem. I will see if i can get it repaired.
If you bought it recently just take it back in warranty. Have you ever used that off button? Because my friend had xperia z ultra and he used it ONCE and it broke and sony didnt give him warranty
Sorry for my english, im doing my best

I brought the phone last october after my first sp(red) stopped charging as the usb port got damaged. I have used that button loads of times before using pens, pins and even a ds stylus to use it. The slight cover on that button has gone as a result.

Touchscreen Issues

Hi Guys; I recently got my new 2nd Generation Moto G but after setting it up and using it for 20 minutes or so I noticed that sometimes while scrolling through settings, contacts and webpages, that when i am swiping over a horizontal band in the exact center of the screen, the sensitivity of that region of the screen becomes very unreliable and the phone will often interpret scrolling as a press. While scrolling in my phonebook it has a tendancy to call people, when browsing the web it has a tendancy to press links i never wanted it to, and this same behaviour is repeated regardless of what application i am in.
It certainly seems to be more frequent and prominent while I am charging the phone, regardless of the charge current. I have charged it from my pc, 1000ma wall adapter and 850ma wall adapter; all with the same results.
Sometimes turning the screen off and on again can rectify this, but its usualy back again in no time
I have tried factory resetting the phone, with the screen protector both on and off, while on charge and off charge and while making sure nothing else could be interfering with the touch screen i.e., a case.
I only got this phone from ebuyer in the UK 3 days ago, 2 days earlier than it was actually ment to come! so its a real shame im having these problems, I've already spoken to Motorola about it and they have advised me to RMA the phone as they cant give me a definitive answer as to wether or not this is a Hardware or Software issue.
Has anyone else been having issues similar to those that I have experienced with their own new Moto G devices
I would RMA, mine is fine.
my moto(2014) has the same touch screen issues while phone is on charging. unresponsivene & its very annyoing. hpns only whn ph is charging

Are you using the official charger or some other one
Check u r charger or wall socket. its becoz of voltages issue.
ohh okk thnx guyz i was using samsung charger.
Sent from my GT-P3100 using XDA Free mobile app
Unfortunately my phone displays this behaviour both on and off the charger. It does however display the issue more frequently while on charge.
The chargers I'm using are all 5v which is typical of a phone charger. I have one at 850ma which charges painfully slow, I have another at 1000ma which charges much more quickly. And I use my Computers USB ports to charge at times, no matter how I charge the phone the problem remains.
Sometimes it will work fine for an hour or so then it will go insane on me. I have requested RMA with ebuyer. Had the phone only showed this issue on charge I may have been contempt with it, but the problem can happen anywhere, anytime and for a brand new phone that's not acceptable.
@ xDDen: have you tried charging the phone from any other source besides the Samsung charger you have?
yes now am charging with moto g's charger and it is working fine now without any issues

Hi Guys; I recently got my new 2nd Generation Moto G but after setting it up and using it for 20 minutes or so I noticed that sometimes while scrolling through settings, contacts and webpages, that when i am swiping over a horizontal band in the exact center of the screen, the sensitivity of that region of the screen becomes very unreliable and the phone will often interpret scrolling as a press. While scrolling in my phonebook it has a tendancy to call people, when browsing the web it has a tendancy to press links i never wanted it to, and this same behaviour is repeated regardless of what application i am in.
It certainly seems to be more frequent and prominent while I am charging the phone, regardless of the charge current. I have charged it from my pc, 1000ma wall adapter and 850ma wall adapter; all with the same results.
Sometimes turning the screen off and on again can rectify this, but its usualy back again in no time
I have tried factory resetting the phone, with the screen protector both on and off, while on charge and off charge and while making sure nothing else could be interfering with the touch screen i.e., a case.
I only got this phone from ebuyer in the UK 3 days ago, 2 days earlier than it was actually ment to come! so its a real shame im having these problems, I've already spoken to Motorola about it and they have advised me to RMA the phone as they cant give me a definitive answer as to wether or not this is a Hardware or Software issue.
Has anyone else been having issues similar to those that I have experienced with their own new Moto G devices

Mine actually didn't come with a charger. I was a bit surprised, but checking the Amazon page (for Germany, since I bought it here, though not from amazon) reveals that this seems correct/intentional. It did include the usual µUSB cable though (and it's not like I don't have enough USB chargers).
For completeness sake: I don't have the described problem, no matter if plugged in or not...
Touch issue
I'm using Moto G 2014 charger only and still facing issue bringing down notification panel.
Also i face issue when trying to unlock phone via pattern lock.
Flipkart offering me a replacement- Shall i go for it?
Been having a problem with the screen, mainly on the back soft button part of the screen, keep finger on it and it multi presses like a mad thing, doesn't happen all the time though, was driving me crazy. took off the Ultimate Shield screen protector and the problem went away, put the shield back on and the problem didn't come back, then couple of hours later (today) I got the ota update and the screen goes mad again, took shield off again and the problem continued, a few minutes later and it's all fine again. now (a few hours later) still all is fine.
Problem is I was all ready for doing a RMA to Amazon.co.uk for it, stuck on what to do now as if I send it back and they find no fault.

Same issue here, but without any screen protector. OTA update hasn't changed anything. Sometimes it works and sometimes the screen recognizes double/triple taps where it should be only one...

Well the touch screen issues got way too much for me so I returned the phone to Amazon uk and got a refund, bought another moto g from Argos the same day I returned it and I'm glad I did, everything is ok with the new phone, no screen issues at all.
Moto G 2014 Tocuh Screen issues
Same issue here.
Bought phone 1 week ago from Argos. Initially fine, then suddenly cant use the swipe down notification bar.
Turned on the Show Touch indicator in Developer options and it clearly shows that the screen is registering the touches about 0.5cm down the screen from where I am touching. So you can never hit the notification bar when its doing that. I found that turning the screen off with the power button and then back on again usually clears the problem.
In the UK the phone only comes with a USB cable, so I use a variety of chargers.
I think mines going back as not functioning properly
I also having same issue you should post your emei. It might be I purchased defective from one of previous user having same issue. I'm at Singapore.

Me too! I am very sorry to learn that it is a hardware problem.
I'm afraid to take it to the service center because the problem is intermittent and technicians could not detect it .
Any of you have solved?
If it was a hardware problem we could try asking a kind of compensation, I don't know, some free accessories, or maybe the change of the device...
Had a problem with mine, it would go mental pressing the back softkey, press it once and it would just keep doing it by itself, so a problem with lower left of the screen, sent it back to Amazon for refund and got another one from Argos, this one is mostly alright with the screen touches but will sometimes do a double press or think a press is a swipe anywhere on the screen, it's not been so bad that I kept it, but now other problems like the memory shortage making apps close is starting to really get to me, also the screen rotation get stuck in landscape now and then, even it sometimes goes to landscape by itself.
In the process of getting a different phone as this is starting to annoy too much.
