So my daughter accidentally let my TP battery die, and I've had no luck getting it to charge. I tried contacting support last week to get a ticket created, and as some of you may know they have discontinued phone support. I followed the link to email support and sent a ticket in and got a confirmation that it had been received and that I should expect contact in about a business day. 4 days later, nothing, so I sent another request. Still no response. I don't know if I'm just unlucky, or if HP is pulling a fast one on supporting these considering them EOS and leaving us on our own.I have about 25 days left on my warranty and I'm going to be more than a little upset if I can't get a decent answer out of them before then.
HP broke my touchpad in July, still not sorted, a month ago after a letter to the CEO they told me a new one was been shipped and would take 2 weeks, a month on and still nothing, emailed them twice in the last week and heard nothing back, so 4 months since they broke my touchpad and still nothing. Written on their facebook about it and if I've not got a working touchpad within a week I'm filing court papers.
Well, a week and a half later I did finally get an email from HP Support telling me to take the usual button press steps and send proof of purchase if the resets don't work. We'll see how it goes getting warranty service.
In which countries do you live? I think the support is very much dependent on the local circumstances. In June, I could still get my speaker cracks get repaired by HP Germany (in fact they had just switched over to another company doing the actual repairs). I don't know if this has recently changed though.
I'm in the UK, I actually have good news kind of, this has been a nightmare experience. But finally after 4 months and me taking it public and threatening a court case over the weekend I have finally got a new touchpad. It was only sent this tuesday AFTER I took further action so whether they would have ever sent one like they told me on the 15th October, who knows.

I have just tried to contact HP as my touchpad has developed cracks again after a recent repair but can't get through any tips or advice you may have would be much appreciated either via this thread or PM.
Thanks

I sent a recorded delivery letter to the UK Head Quarters of HP listing all the times and dates of repairs and when I contacted them, what had happened so far, and what I expected to be done about it and a time frame to sort it.
They rang me 2 days after I sent it to sort it out (although this didn't happen in the end). Although I'd give it a try.
I'd wait at least a week or two after last contacting them and hearing nothing though, as if you just wait a few days or not a reasonable amount of time, or contacting them a few times then it will annoy them if you right to the HQ and they'll be less likely to help, it's more a last result, you could nag them on twitter as well https://twitter.com/HPUK
Not sure if this will help anyone or not, but after 3 weeks of waiting and several emails back and forth with support, I finally got this:
"Thank you for choosing HP for your technology needs. We value your business.
In order to process your warranty service claim, please call our fulfillment department at 661-257-5571 to order."
They gave me an order number and said they would cross ship my 'new' (refurb) TouchPad as soon as FedEx reported me shipping the defective one back.

Same thing happened to me with my touchpad, I did manage to fix it. If the warranty thing doesn't work out, pm me and ill let you know what I did to fix it. Also, even if you do have a warranty, I don't think hp will fix a hacked tp. I could be wrong.

ok, i wrote this in another thread but i don't think anyone else tried it. Bear in mind this should be a last ditch effort (you've exhausted all other options and you touchpad is currently a paperweight). Also make sure your issue is the same as mine. Here is the method that worked for me.
"I have fixed my dead touchpad, it should work for everyone with the same issue as i had ( The device is too low to power on and too low to even charge. I got a red battery symbol and an power plug symbol when attempting to turn on). Assuming you are suffering from the same issue as me, then the only way i found to fix the tp and get it charged again is to drain the battery even more (though i hear if you have a touchstone that could work too). It forces the TP off with about 1-2 percent battery so in order to fix the touchpad you must drain it even more, to the point where the screen can't even flash on to tell you it's dead. Do this by placing the TP upside down and vertical so it holds the power button down. Just walk away and come back when it is no longer flashing on and off. Mine did this for almost two hours. Once it completely 100% died, i plugged it back in and it was saved."
Edit: I wanted to add, plug once you plug it back in again, just let it do its thing and charge. I am not sure if it makes a difference, but don't even touch it until it automatically powers itself back up. You should see an alternating light on the button.

This is a common issue. It has happened to me. You probably DON'T need HP to fix this problem. You can probably do it yourself. Look through these forums for your answer. One issue that the Touchpads seem to have is a bad connection or bad USB cable, or cable end. I have to wiggle mine to get it to charge properly. I have fixed this issue on mine by repeatedly pressing the reset buttons and messing with the cable to get a better connection. Then, after seeiing it start to charge, leave it alone until fully charged. Next time, try switching to WebOS when the batter is low and charge from there. Or, go to WebOS and then shut the device down using that OS. Then charge the device. All of these strategies work fine for me now that I have found what to do to fix these issues. Don't turn off your device directly from one of the CM operating systems if the battery is below 20%.
I tried all of the fixes I came across on the forums. Trickle charge, different chargers and cords, powered usb hub, mashing button combos, leaving it plugged in for several days, etc etc, all with no joy. The best I get is the alternating light blink on the home button indicating battery error and even that is spotty. For those worried about getting support, they are cross shipping refurbs now so I don't think it is much of an issue.

So it worked for you?
Hey guys,
Firstly, I will admit from the start my phone has been dropped a couple of times but from around knee height at most...
I bought a contract, of which I am 2 months into, and in the last 2 weeks my phone keeps turning off randomly and wont turn on. Only sometimes when I remove the battery and sim card even, that it turns back on again. Its really frustrating, especially that I'm moving home in the next few weeks and agencies cant call me.
I am wondering if I can somehow go to the store of the company I bought it from and ask for a new one or a different phone?
I am happy to pay the difference for a galaxy note 2 dare I say which was my original choice but the LG was £10 less a month. Only thing is I purchased it online?
Many thanks to any help or advice on what might be causing this?!

A couple drops shouldn't cause this unless you're really unlucky, I dropped mine from the bench on the second day of owning it and freaked though luckily not a mark on it. I would say it's probably a fault so yeah try and return it, if it's bought online get in touch with the customer service team, most sites will have the phone number somewhere or it may be on your invoice. Check for damage or loose connections around the battery first though, good luck!

I was looking around the device but nothing is visible. I went to carphone warehouse store and they said they have to send it to LG. I will be able to tell if its a replacement or not as mine had a little dink taken out of the frame..ahh well, now two weeks of waiting to do.
They offered me a replacement phone as I went to leave like they forgot and I got a simple looking Samsung with chunky buttons! XD love retro style!
Thankyou for the advice,

You're welcome! When I was with carphone I brought in my HTC desire z (now drowned in the toilet one drunken night) Because it was not receiving messages, and I had updated it to 2.2.1 which made it impossible to root. When I came back to the store after my holiday I was thrilled to find a brand new phone (gave me the old backplate back though, cheapskates) with the original rootable 2.2! I proceeded to root and flash my first ever ROM, cm7, crapped myself cos I bricked it, then realized I had just forgot to wipe data! Booted into cm7 and never looked back, I can't stand unrooted devices! hopefully they send you a new one, that sort of fault usually does get a new one as its hard to detect the source of the issue, good luck!

Last night my phone got a text and when I took it out my pocket the screen would not turn on. It was just blank. The buttons next to the home button still light up and the LED light still flashes. Vibrate still works etc. I took the battery out and out it back in... nope the screen is buggered. It has no water damage and it hasn't been dropped etc.
Just thought I would post this in case anyone has any similar problems.
I'm so angry If I'm being honest... my phone store wouldn't even send it away for me... they asked me to phone customer services and pack it and send it away myself. I have exams etc so its something I refused to do. Thankfully another store helped me out but I have never been so angry at a combination of companies. I have already spend £100 up front for the phone. Now I have no phone and apparently there is none in stock so I'll have to wait until they are ready. Not even given a replacement.

I had a similar issue with my first S4. It randomly rebooted numerous times and I had it for a little under a day. I took it back the next day and swapped out my white S4 with a black one and all has been well thus far. My buddy also had an issue with his screen as well. He went to put a case on it and the screen flickered and died. He too had to get a replacement. Your situation is a little more drastic but it seems we aren't the only ones with screen issues.

It is ridiculous that the screens are faulty in the first place but if they could just give me a new one like yours I would have been as happy as larry. Did you lose all the apps etc you had downloaded? I bought ice age and everything =/
apparently my phone company only replaces new items within 7 days. If my screen broke tonight instead of last night I would not have been given a replacement and would have got a "re-furbished" one. ARRRHHHH I would have torn the place down if they had said that to me!
I've had got mine 4/29 and have had no issue except for that lag when to much crap is open in the background.

I had my phone for about 2 days and I noticed that the screen would flicker. Since it was my first Amoled I just figured it was something I would have to get used too. Well the flicker started to get worse and even made it difficult to read anything on the phone. So I took it into sprint and told them I wanted a new one, not some returned or beat up phone.
There was a problem with the screen after all and they did give me a new in box phone. Haven't had an issue since. With any new product it just seems you might get lucky.
My first One worked perfectly for 2 months. Then it got stolen. On the 3rd of august I bought a new one and it got replaced three times because one had a huge scratch on the screen ( I unboxed it right there at the store so the employee directly gave me another one) and the second shut down randomly! How can something like this happen?
So I got my third(!) HTC One today. I unpacked it and it just doesn't turn on. I thought maybe the battery is low (even though that should not be the case because li-po batteries should be stored at about half charge ) But even after charging it for an hour where it does only blink with the red LED it does not turn on.
Any ideas or should I just go back to the market and directly demand a replacement.
And I really can't trust the One anymore... It's hands down the most beatiful phone with awesome specs. But what if I can't make that call in a dangerous situation because HTC has no QC?

Hold down power and volume down buttons while holding the proximity sensor directly under a bright light (sounds strange but it works!). This will reboot to the bootloader, them reboot from there.

The bright light triggers the proximity sensor, kind of tells it the phone is not in your pocket and it will let it turn on.

Should not have damaged the battery, no, lithium polymer battery should be fine. Good luck
I've had 3 One's aswell, and none of them had any software/hardware problems. I replaced them because of cosmetic issues. Sadly for me, I bought the Developer Edition and replacement of these is done through the worst company ever LetsTalk. In order to expedite the process, I had to do a "cross shipment" where I would pay the value of two phones and have a phone sent by them without returning mine first. Had to do two cross shipments because 2nd phone also had cosmetic problems and instead of them refunding me back two cross shipment values of 1299 each, they just refunded me two phone values... had to get my bank involved to get my money back.
Wow. Just wow. Maybe I was just lucky that my Desire HD was perfect. Funny thing is: How can HTC expect me to pay for a phone on August 3rd but til today I do not have the product for which I payed. This is ridiculous. I'm going on vacation on Wednesday and I can't take my phone for which I payed 18 days before because it's in repair for 2 - 3 weeks. Great... I always recommended HTC to my friends because of my Desire HD but I think everybody should skip the One. The chance of getting one that is looking okay and working is really not that high as it seems. For me it's a 1 out of 4. Get your QC done, HTC.

What they said: 'Oh damn, another one'
Seriously HTC?
My new one has the worst screen of all my Ones til now, but it does power on. Also there are some huge gaps between the speaker grills and the plastic band. No problem for me though, and they won't give me another replacement. So I'll have to live with it. Installing ARHD now, thread can be closed.
Hello everyone,
I've enjoyed this watch even if the battery life sucks since the beginning!! especially coming from the Samsung Gear S3, which has never ever lasted less than a day (24 hours).
Since the last Android Wear 2.0 update, the battery life is even worse, although I doubt it's actually linked, probably just a coincidence, but my watch hasn't make it through the afternoon for few weeks now. Barely 6 hours (with EVERYTHING disable, even bluetooth, in Airplane mode).
As of today, the watch will turn on and turn off few seconds later regardless the battery %.
Lg answered nicely that they would take a look at it, and ask $20 for the diagnostic if I don't want them to process the fix!!! And I read online that the battery replacement is $60. I would rather throw it away...
Anyway, I have 2 questions :
Does someone knows where to source this damn battery (BL-S7)?? Out of stock on ebay
Did someone try to fit a Watch Urbane battery (BL-S6) which is 570mAh instead of 430mAh? Or anyone knows this battery size? (I know the connector is different but at this point it's not the biggest issue )
That could help many people meeting issues with this watch... (I'm done with LG!!)
Thanks!!
Ok, I found the answer to my second question, and obviously bigger capacity = battery battery
the BL-S6 (Urban 2nd G) is about 31x27
the BL-S7 (Sport Watch) is about 28x27
So I'm still interested to know where to buy the BL-S7.
Thanks,
Assuming I can find a BL-S7 battery, how easy is it to strip the watch down to change?
My watch is so random with shutdowns and % battery left remaining I am thinking it is all down to the battery after over 18 months daily usage/charging.
Also interested in this.

Disassembly is fairly easy if you take your time and disconnect the connection points. Nothing is really glued in place aside from the bottom cover and the battery to the rest of the chassis. I was able to get to the battery within 20 minutes.
I was also able to find a battery on ebay. We'll see how assembly goes when it's delivered.
That is great, do you have the link to the battery on ebay?
Did you also have the same issues with random shutdowns, not being able to restart unless on the charger etc?
Keep us posted!
Thanks.
I confirm that disassembling the watch is pretty easy and quick, the only thing is you can say goodbye to the waterproof!
@sirdizzle415, does it come with the sealing? Please keep us updated if it does fix the reboot issue and if can even share the link :angel:
I only found 1 used....

I wouldn't trust it to be waterproof anymore, but I'm mostly ok with that. If this watch survives a little while longer with a used $25 battery, I'd call that a win over buying another $300+ watch.
I should be getting the new battery tomorrow, should be pretty quick to put it back together. We'll see what happens.
FYI, My new battery is still in route, so haven't had a chance to test it. It is available brand new on ebay though... If anyone wants to give it a try, the link is here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Wa...1e1230fc8:m:mALL_k1FrV1tgtB_vyDJXTg:rk:1:pf:0
Make sure to select the LG-S7 battery for the Watch Sport.
Successful install of the battery! Watch no longer shuts off, and doesn't need to be on the charger to turn on.
I did try to carefully take my old battery apart. Multiple sources mentioned that it can be repaired by soldering a zero ohm link/resistor between two points. I could not identify them on the BL-S7 battery, so I probably won't be doing that.
All in all, it was a $25 dollar battery for me, so not a bad price to pay to extend the life.
I just ordered the one from ebay! That's great it's back in stock!! @sirdizzle415 Yours was a used one?? how did you glue back the back cover?
I know the watch won't be waterproof anymore, but I'm ok with that too.

My existing seal was mostly intact. The back cover also has tabs that snap it back in place.
Placed my order for a new battery.
There is simply nothing else to replace the Sport with LTE currently...unless you like apples.
I just received the new battery!
Results are not so great so far, the watch does stay alive and do not reboot/ shut down randomly anymore.
But after an hour using it to update app, hard reset it, I lost 40%... I didn't charge the battery yet, so I don't want to be pessimistic (yet) but I think my main issue wasn't the battery.
The watch seems too warm to me, probably something wrong with the hardware, other than the battery.
Plus, damn the watch is so slow with the new version of Android wear, so laggy!!
But true there is no better android watch anyway, which is a shame...
It seems that replacing the battery actually fixed the issue! I'm getting now a day and half of battery with only the bluetooth and NFC activated...
The watch is still slow from time to time, I have to tap the screen several time before it actually wakes up.
But for 20 bucks I guess it was the right move.

I think right around this day, I received a Wear OS update that really hurt the battery life... it's been better since, but I definitely remember a day recently when I got an update and battery life was terrible for me.
Just replaced my battery.
Straight forward job, managed to keep the seal in place too.
Watch started up with what little charge was in the new battery, 16%, which is promising, it wouldn't before, and also all the apps /configuration haven't been lost either.
The only disappointment is that the new battery is not actually new.
Okay it may not be used, but it was dated late 2016, actually slightly older than the battery it replaced, early 2017.
See how I get on with it now....
A new battery is a must!
I'm getting a constant 7am until 11pm, 16 hours off cradle, with 50% still remaining, and that is with LTE on all day, including everything else too!
The combination of new battery, and latest firmware updates has just transformed the usage and battery life.
It is a must upgrade!
Hello, I'm from EU, is there any possibility to get new battery now? I looked on eBay and it looks like all are sold out.. :/
