This morning I noticed that my watch was restarting itself a few times while on charging dock, so I thought that there might be a new OTA. Then, when I'm about to leave, it just stay dead (it says disconnected on the phone too).
I tried long press (5, 8, almost a minute), nothing happens. When I placed it back onto the dock, it just show full battery icon and then nothing. I tried long-pressing the button while on the dock too, nothing...
I'm at loss here, if possible I'd like to avoid return (problematic, coz it is imported).

1. Hold the button until it starts vibrating, then keep holding until it turns off.
2. Press the button to turn it back on and then QUICKLY (as SOON as the LG logo shows), swipe from 11 o-clock to 5 o'clock (diagonally) on the screen to enter the bootloader.
3. Once you see the bootloader, tap > until the red text says RECOVERY MODE, then tap O to boot into recovery.
4. Once you see the green droid robot, tap the screen to bring up the recovery menu.
5. Swipe down until the factory reset option is highlighted, then press the button.
6. Swipe down until Yes is highlighted, then press the button.
7. Wait for the factory reset to complete.
8. Swipe up to highlight "reboot system now" in the recovery menu if it's not already highlighted and press the button to reboot.
9. Wait until the watch boots into the setup screen - this will take about 3x-5x longer than a normal boot, so be patient.
10. Set up the watch with your phone.

I would have done the following if the thing actually can boot in any way. It seemed that it was stuck at some point in the booting process and somehow went into a 'limbo' state?
Thanks for the complete description, but here's how it ended up to me: it seemed that the watch was in an ON state all the while this thing was happening. I waited about 12 hours, until it is seemingly out of juice completely. Then, putting it back to the charger turned it back on and boots properly. Hopefully it won't happen again to me, or I have to send it back to the seller, really...

How can I do the 2 step if the screen don't show any lg logo or any light at all?
By the way my phone says the watch is connected.
Please help
I have the same problem with my LG G Watch, it doesn't show LG logo, just showing charging and blinking with big battery logo while connected with charging cradle.
I keep it for 2 week to wait for battery drain, and again when I connect charging cradle it shows the same thing.
I guess there's something problem with hardware.
Anyone can guide me, how can i fix this.
Need help.
I just experienced the same issue. Leaving the watch to drain the battery does not help. Is there any other solution?
You're the man! Thanks for the step by step instructions! One thing I would add to your instructions would be to do all this while the watch is sitting on the charger. Seems like my watch didn't charge at all and when I tried to hold down on the button nothing happened until I did so with it sitting on the charger during the whole process. I just started to setup my watch and it's at 5% so that was definitely the case!
---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------
Do the whole process with the watch sitting on the charger. This worked for me like a charm. The reason it's not doing anything is because the watch can't charge until you reset to factory settings.

This happen to me once too. What is did was to just put the watch in the charger n long press the function button for about a min n it started up. For some reason the watch got stuck in a loop while it was charging over night. I have been experiencing a few strange bugs happen during the past few weeks. Such as watch zooming n not responding to touch control n watch not responding to turn wrist light up display.
My g watch also no stay "on" anymore, two days ago [battery was 57%] shuts down suddenly and since then I can not start this watch .
Tried everything, this anoying loop is killing me, if I put it for some time in the charger dock starts for a couple of seconds and shuts down [ sometimes shows starting 36 apps and after finish shuts down again]. Also for a couple of time I entered in recovery mode and reset and wipe, but from today I can not enter in bootloader anymore.
If stays on the charger not showing anything [ only if I kep the buton pressed for 30 sec start to blink the battery icon until I keep the button pressed.
Run out of methods, is something that I am not tried ? Keep all night on the charger , but the same litlle loop [ the watch is very hot on charger but I think is not charging].
Please some one can help me ?

OK,
Charging the LGR in bootloader mode worked but I am still having issues so now I am going to try to re-flash it.
If I leave the watch alone for a couple of hours and I put it in the charger, starts first time showing 36 apps and after it's shuts down. After that it starts for 2 or 3 times but only until those colored balls, then is dead again [ even if I leave it on the charger for all night ]. Also tried with 2.0 A and 1.0 A charger.
The worst is that I can not enter in bootloader mode anymore, when it starts on the LG icon I try in vain with my finger from 10.00 clock to 17.00 , the watch is not responding anymore to this command. Only when I put it on the charger and keep pressed the button for more then 30 seconds the battery icon is flashing, when I relese the button the battery icon disapears.
Very disapointed, I have to throw it in the garbage and I never will buy LG.
LG R watch fixed
mobiemi,
I got my watch back to working. First, delete all android wear apps from your phone do the same for the Android wear app. Next, clean the screen off (since you are having issues) then let it charge for a few minutes to an hour (even if it looks like its not charging it is). Once charge it might come back on all on its own (let it do so). After it tries twice it will not do it power on again (still let it sit for awhile longer). Next, take it off the charger and power the watch on and try to access the bootloader by swiping downward from 11 to 5 and perform a factory reset, put the watch back on the charger. Once done do a reboot and it will attempt to reset but might power off, don't panic mine did the samething. Finally let it sit on the charger awhile later it will come back on in factory reset mode, ready to connect to your phone. Let the watch sit to recharge before downloading the android wear app and connecting it back to your phone. FYI I did three times heres why- once I added an app it went back to having the same issue as before with restarting and dying. So word of advice do not install any apps. Google is working on a new update to fix the issue so be patient. I hope this helps!
Thank you for your detailed explanations, tried your method but dosen't work because I can not enter bootloader mode [ I think my watch has not enough power to start the bootloader ].
The screen is very clean and the watch not react at my command. I remember last week I was able to resurect once the watch with similar method like you, but now has not enough juice to start proper. When I put it in the charger show 1 second the battery icon, then starts with LG icon [ in vain try to enter bootloader ], once from 10 times starts, goes until starting 36 apps and shuts down [ when I left it for a period of time and is not that warm like when is lifted from charger ], but mainly not goes far then colored balls.
I have not another explanation for not entering the bootloader and why not going further than a few seconds. Left it 1 minute, half hour and also all night on the charger [ the watch get warmer ], with multiple charger and also from laptop usb.
My watch is slowly dying, only when I put it in the charger start for maximum 5 seconds and shuts down, after that I try again to start without charger [on the charger not starts at all ] and again after 4 seconds is dead. When starts the screen with LG icon did not react at all to finger touch , could not enter bootloader anymore[ lack of power ? ] I think in a couple of days is dead . Courious when is in the charger for longer period it gets very warm but in vain. Unfortunatelly I have no warranty.
I've had the same issue so I sent it in and I am patiently waiting to get it fixed. In the meantime they sent me a list of items they'll replace...
PCB assembly
Rechargeable battery
Cover assembly
LG2 (no idea what that's going to be)

I'm having the same problem like mobiemi. I'm trying your method without deleting all android apps in my phone since I wiped data and cache from my watch's recovery mode. Since it cannot connect to my phone due to not being able to boot properly, I don't think it's necessary to uninstall the apps from my phone. But I've been resetting and wiping data&cache from my watch but it's still doing the same thing. It shuts down on its own after "starting apps xx of xx". Sometimes it will boot till the colored dots and after that it will go blank and shuts down.
Yeah, I thought the same thing at first until I got it back up and running the first time and as soon as the old apps were sent back to the watch it started looping all over again. I was able to reinstall my apps after the latest android wear update. My LGR is currently working with apps and holding a charge longer than a day.

Hope is not true, unfortunately you are after me, after a while you can not enter either the bootloader . For two weeks I do nothing but I try to turn it on.
*If the button does not turn, I put in charger: starts 10 seconds goes out and turns back for another 30-40 seconds [colored balls], sometimes flashing until the 36 apps loaded, then goes off . I tried hundreds of times, placed in charger, power on from button, put back on charger, left and so on until going crazy.
**Because not enter bootloader I thought the touch it not works anymore, but by a miracle last week lit one minutes [came in white screen apps Starting 36] and went out, I powered by button and the screen shows the welcome screen, language, [responding to commands], unfortunately I was in another room and appeared on the screen put me in charge, until I got to the charger it faded again. From then I do not manage to get out of this deadly circle.
If someone manage to escape from this loop please help me with detailed steps.

This just happened to me, and after some searching here and elsewhere I found that it seems to be an unsettlingly common issue. What was worse is the only solutions anyone had was RMA/replacement. Well, I called HTC customer service and the woman I spoke to was very helpful
She told me that the charging mode may need to be reset and gave the following instructions.
1. Turn phone OFF
2. Let charge for AT LEAST 10mins even if it doesn't look like it's charging (mine DID show the new charging animation)
3. Press and hold POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN for AT LEAST 2mins. Anything less will not reset the charge mode.
4. After 2mins release the buttons and the phone should boot as normal.
My phone is now charging normally.

Is it supposed to be showing that HTC startup screen and like cycling through the beginning of an attempted reboot while I'm holding in the 3 buttons, or have I done it wrong every time?
Some notification will appear on the screen?
I hold the 3 buttons, and htc one is restarting continuously. 2 minutes and 30 seconds
And it did not work, still only charging power off.

I have to reboot to be able to charge with wall charger like it was before...
Thanks anyway:good:
I would put money down that the cause of this is those crappy usb ports my HD2 had exactly the same problem few years back and people realized it was the charging port getting rusted and shorting something in there causing the phone to act funny.

Hello mates, I have a question about my HTC One.
yesterday my home screen start to rotate like im on a website or something. i know this is not normal because i have for 6 months now and know that home screen canr rotate. It doesnt matter really if the rotate function is turned off or on.
And then it stops and everything is ok..and later on again.
I tried to reset my phone to factory and same thing after 20 min, but i noticed that happens after CAR app jumps out by itself without opening it.
And when i make a call i got speaker on automatically, like he thinks hes in a car mode. and i cant remove this app cause its custom built.
Also cant charge phone when in usb host mode appears often, then i reboot him and he charges.
I really dont know what can i do..anyone know something please help.
Thx in advance
Charging fix.
I was having the same problem with charging my HTC One. I contacted HTC and they told me to do the following which worked:
Step 1: Power off the device
Step 2: Press the Power button to initiate booting sequence and wait for the HTC logo to appear on the screen
Step 3: Press and hold the Volume Down button until entering OS
Step 4: You will notice that the device vibrates briefly during this process
Step 5: ‘Safe Mode’ wording will appear on the bottom left of the screen to confirm that device has entered safe mode.
After this safe mode start I restarted normally and no longer have issues charging the phone.
Cheers.

This one didn't work either (for me )...
I got it into Safe Mode and in SF didn't charge and after reboot not only lost settings and stuff but still got the USB Host mode error.
I guess I'll be returning to stock soon and try to send it for repair before warranty expires.
Thanks anyway...
I have the same exact issue - phone will not charge and I get error about usb host mode... So far this "somewhat" worked for me - I am able to charge phone anytime via wall charger > but unable to connect to USB / charge via USB.
1. Start charging via phone wall charger. ( it will not charge at this time )
2. Reboot Phone (press power and hold > reboot)
3. After reboot your phone should be charging just fine, but ONLY via wall charger.
If you try to charge via USB it will not work. If you try to charge it via wall charger after USB charge attempt - it will also not work anymore, you will need to complete steps 1-3 again....
obviously this is NOT a solution and i think I'm gonna send the phone to repairs....
bonus: to get data off phone, you can do steps 1-3 then use file manager to drop off files to a network share! I use ES File Explorer. Get your data off before sending it to repairs because they will 100% wipe all your ****. Customer service is pretty bad, they do not care about you or your data.
I have been suffering this issue on and off for the last 12 months on my HTC one. Usb host mode, car mode popping up, airplane mode, screen going between landscape and normal on home page.
Out of the blue my phone started charging normally again the other day but stopped again a few days later. Noticed the day it stopped I was charging overnight and had the alarm set. So though I'll try that again so switched phone off after setting alarm and plugged it in to charge. Phone woke up to start alarm and it was charging while switched on again.
Tried all the other solutions without success, will now not set alarm to go off while phone is charging.
Hope this helps some people.
This is a manufacturing issue. I had to send the phone for repairs to HTC, they changed the motherboard, a logic board and a flex cable. Phone now works perfectly and came with Hboot 1.56.
My phone has not been charging correct for 2 days now. It only charges in boot loader mode using Samsung galaxy s4 charger. The HTC and Verizon chargers I have flicker charge in boot loader mode. I have tried everything I have read on here and on other sites with no luck. I am s-off and rooted with teamwin recovery but since I can't hook the phone up to a PC I can't s-on and unroot to try to see if I can do a warranty exchange via Verizon's extended warranty.
Only charging when off

Tried doing this (and the other reboot, and safe mode, using different chargers,etc), to no avail... I am going to get the USB charge port fixed and see if that will do the trick. I'll update if it fixes it.
UPDATE: Phone died. Getting it checked out but through a regular place and not through HTC as that would take too long. I'll see what they determine to be the issue... Though it's not likely going to be a cheap fix...
UPDATE 2: Could not determine issue, and can't send into HTC as it is not under the 1 year warranty anymore. Tried contacting HTC Canada, still haven't got back to me. Phone is done as far as I'm concerned; I realize now that HTC uses the bulk of their precision work on the exterior and beauty is skin deep because this is pathetic if multiple people are having this issue. Got a Nexus 5 instead.

Still Charges
I've been getting a notification with an explanation mark saying the phone will not charge and is in USB Host Mode. This message comes randomly. I haven't had an issue charging the phone but don't think I've tried while the message is up. I just close the message and it may come up a few hours later. Like I said, phone seems to work fine and has charged the few times since getting the phone 3 days ago.
Phone is completely stock. Haven't messed with it at all. My phone died around 5% battery left so I went to put it on charger. Charged it up for like 20 minutes while I watched a movie, and i went to turn it on and it was really hot. It booted up still but whenever it was done booting, the screen just went black. Nothing would work. If i hold power button down, the power down option appears and it works to shut it off. If i shake it, the camera comes up but I cannot take a picture or do anything. Any idea? I also tried to reboot into recovery and couldn't . I dont know if im not pressing the correct buttons so if you know the correct way please let me know.

To get into fastboot mode you have to turn the phone off. Hold the power and volume down buttons for about 10 seconds then release just the power button.
As far as a solution, this issue has happened before. Everybody says that it happens when their battery dies. I am sorry to say that the only solution that works is a factory reset which erases the data partition on the phone.

If my phone is below 85% and id turn of the screen, it wont turn back unless its back charged atleast 85% then everything works fine, I can use my phone till 0% if i dont turn off the screen, when the screen is off everything still works (i can hear it reacting when i press on the screen etc.
Tried different batterys but nothing changes.
Also my menu and back button wont work permanently no matter the battery percentage, the lights dont even turn on (sometimes it flickers) but my home button works.
Tried googling for answers but it seems i'm the only person with this problem.

Sorry for Late response, but in this S5Mini forum nobody wants to help.
I think you should do this:
-Go to recovery mode and look if screen goes black after some time.
If
Yes: Bring to repair
No: Install a custom Rom and / or try wiping Userdata.
Hope it works! Have a nice day.
I have a couple problems myself with the G800Y variant, whenever my phone switches off (shows the idle screen with green battery and %) I always seem to struggle to turn it on. My fix for this however is to:
1. Unplug charger (regardless of state unless like dead or something)
2. Perform the key combo to enter download mode/reset the phone: [POWER] + [HOME] + [VOL-DOWN]
3. Hold until you see something (the logo, the S5 Mini or the CM/LineageOS variant I'm using appears to take some time to perform the download mode entry) THEN release. If it hits download mode, simply cancel/use [RESET] key combo (above) to exit and the phone will automatically attempt to reboot.
As an alternative, pluck the battery out and chuck her back in, seems to be the charger initiating that little animation which causes a block on user input, or something similar, hope this helped
-Broke power button. The thing is like mashed into my phone.
-If the phone dies, I must hold volume down to go into maintenance mode to boot it back up again.
-Today, I was in a hurry, and accidentally clicked the option right under "normal boot", which happened to be "Factory Reset"
-Now my phone constantly cycles in a bootloop of:
-Turning on and displaying the "Samsung Galaxy Note5" Screen for about 2-3 seconds
-Booting into a blue screen that says "Installing Update" for about 1-2 seconds, and sometimes 5-6 seconds
-Rinse and repeat^
-I am able to hold volume down and go into maintenance mode, but clicking normal boot/safe mode/reset/power off and trying to turn phone back on literally doesn't do anything.
I am asking... begging for an answer here. I dont have the $ to replace this ridiculously expensive phone I have, and my life is practically ran off of my phone.
Thank you.

Do some googling, there are services that repair phones and allow you to leave everything intact.

It almost sounds like your power button is stuck in. If so I would try to use a small tool to get your power button reset.
Hi
So my phone has randomly started to die about once every other day. Screen goes black (i have always on screen) and no response from any of the buttons (power button, twice volume down button for camera). I have to hold the power button until it restarts/starts (don't know if it is dead or not). Anyone else has this issue? Only wierd apps that i havent hade before is blockada.

Troubleshoot it.
Delete the app and see if it still happens. If it does, flash a raw firmware and completely wipe your device. if it still continues, its a hardware issue and you should exchange the device.

You're in custom or stock rom?
Im on stock with no modifications.
Phone auto shuts down
Did you find any solution same thing started to happen with me twice in 2 days
The way I fixed it... go to settings, Security & Lock Screen, click on the gear icon next to screen lock, then choose the first option Automatically lock, choose "Immediately" any thing other than that causes the screen to go black. I hope it works!
@Ahmed_x this didnt work for me.
So today i was about to miss my international flight because of this stupid phone deciding to die on me while on charging so no alarm went off.
Wtf is wrong with Asus? How could this have gotten worst with the new update. Are their developers ret**ded?
This phone is being returned unfortunately. Awesome phone but if u cant trust it to give a simple thing as alarm whats the point.
It happened to me twice in three months. The smartphone got stuck/freeze in standby mode: no response from the physical buttons or touch. I use the official android 9 rom.
I managed to restart it with the power button and volume up pressed for 15 seconds.
I hope that with android 10 this will never happen again.
Happened to me today, had to hold volume-down + power for about 10-15s to get it back.
very strange using latest firmware too (WW_Phone-17.0230.2004.60)
[HELP] My ROG Phone always turn off suddenly when charge
Please HELP My ROG Phone 2.
It's been more than a month if the charge will turn off unexpectedly. This situation is experienced until today. So that every time I charge, phone must be in the dead state. I've been very frustrated. Already doing factory data reset, only lasts for one week and back like that again.
Worse, in certain circumstances the handphone suddenly dead and hard to be turned on again. When charging the battery, sometimes the phone likes to not fill. I had to unplug and re-plug the charging cable to return it to normal. Its sucks. I bought this phone in a new condition with the official warranty on January. I already did update to Android 10 when available by the system. This issue occurs after the update.
I had thought the charger that I got from the factory was problematic, until I decided to buy a new charger with the original quality with 30watt power. But it turns out the same.
Same here my phone will turn off while charging. And it will keep rebooting. Sometimes my rog will not charge
My ASUS ROG2 is starting ti piss me iff noe.. Everything I play BR in CODM alwaiz black out..every single game black out. This is not good...Is this normal? Every game has to black out?...
