ok so i got my htc one a couple of days ago and it sees to have a serious problem!
Basically the phone goes through stages of random vibrating every few mins to full on constant vibrating like there is a fan or motor buzzing in there. It even does it if the phone is switched off! Ive just had an episode of it vibrating no stop for 10 mins, didnt make a difference when i switched it off or when i factory reset it!
It seems to overheat or something and only stopped doing it after i had just left it for a while. I have tried to speak with htc about it but they were useless and had no suggestions what soever.
I really need some help here, i bought the phone privately and to all intense purposes it seemed like brand new

SO you CAN NOT exchange the phone?
if not... root your phone and flash different rom that should resolve problem...at least give it a try!

No cant exchange it, only option i might have if i cant get the problem ressolved on here would be to send it to htc for repair but can take up to 2 weeks.
when i got the phone it was still on 4.1 and told me update available to 4.2 so i did that. Thats all i have done , apart from unlocking it from 02 using a code.
its almost like on a computer when its being worked hard etc that you here the fan cut in, thats what it seems like except it sounds like the buzz you get when you first start the phone. sometimes it does this just once every few mins or so, other times it will start doing it and not stop...even when switched off.....everything else on the phone seems to work fine

Did the device get wet at some point? Sounds like a hardware problem if a factory reset didn't solve the problem.
There's a slight chance it could be a real bad app or an issue with the rom. Maybe running a stock RUU for your device if you can find it might help.
Pretty sure it hasent got wet .
Would be happy to put stock Rom back on it but not sure how I go about reflashing it .
Don't know if this normal or not but when I did a factory reset I thought the device would be wiped completely, all my pictures and videos etc however when I set it back up again I found some videos on there still that I had downloaded to the phone off the net.
Maybe it's not wiping itself correctly either?

Resetting the device should wipe everything and bring it to the same condition as new.
Go to settings>>Backup & Reset>>Reset phone>>now check "Erase all data", then tap "OK".
If that doesn't work, try to do a factory reset from the bootloader.

Factory reset will wipe the device but leave the contents of the sdcard untouched which explains why your vids are still there
Appreciate the help guys, thankyou
So, is there any benifit to wiping the device completely over and above what I've done allready?
Today the phone has just done the odd sudden vibration as if you were just booting up, around 5 times in total, nowhere near as bad as last night, don't know why that would be.
Would it be possible to reflash standard firmware?
Is so how would I do it. Phone is completley standard and was in 4.1 prior to the ota update to 4.2, could 4.2 be the problem?

IC, but you do have the option to erase the sdcard (storage) from the reset phone menu in settings.

Yes, I see there is a box to tick to wipe everything.
Think it's worth doing?

I'd try it. You can back up your pics and music on your PC via HTC Sync first.
Ok so I have tried it but no joy
Still getting the random buzzing/vibration for no apparent reason.
Could it be a bug with the update to 4.2.2?
Can I go back to 4.1?
I'm at my witts end with this now

Don't think it's a bug with 4.2.2 but a hardware issue.
Couple of other things to try ; download "CID Getter" from the play store, run it and find out your device's CID number. Now search on Google or xda for the RUU for your device's CID number. Download the RUU.exe to your pc, connect your phone to the pc and run the RUU.exe. This will bring the phone back to stock 4.1..
Or you can unlock the bootloader and flash another rom. Step by step instructions can be found on xda
Sorry, don't know of any easy solutions.

thanks for sticking with me on this :good:
I have just followed a a video on here on how to unlock the bootloader and s-off and root - so now good to go
not sure how i put a new firmware on here now though..going to have to do a bit more reading....
i think to start with ill try downloading standard htc 4.1 rom when i can figure out which one it is and how i put it on and then go from there.
ok so just to update this....
last night i have tried the standard google edition rom on my phone and for the first few hours all seemed fine untill 4am this morning when i was woked by the phone doing its random vibrating thing...it was just sat by the side of my bed on charge
Can only think it must be a hardware issue now...but still dont know what or what is triggering it

You tried everything so it's has to be a hardware issue. Maybe the vibration starts when the device gets warm. Sorry we couldn't fix it.

My HTC one has been doing the same thing. Vibrating randomly even when powered down. Brought it back to Sprint and had them order me a new phone. The only way to stop it from vibrating when powered down was to bang it on a hard surface, then it would stop. Crazy!
Vibrating non stop
My HTC One had been vibrating cotinuously too. I kept slapping the upper part of the phone to stop it from vibrating. However, this worked for the initial few days only. Later, it continued to vibrate continuously without stopping at all ! In the night I left the phone in the other room while it was still vibrating and the next morning the phone wouldn't charge at all! Now the phone is not booting/ charging. It is dead! Any leads?
EDIT: I slapped the upper part again, it suddenly woke up from the dead! It is charging now, the LED is red too!! But it is still continuously vibrating. I have left it to charge as of now, but please help with this vibrating problem. Any ideas?
I've had the same issue with my M7 today.
There were no software updates or any new apps lately.
It all emerged when i was pressing the home button (to exit from some app) and at the same time an incomming call started.
I have tried:
switching it off - did not help
Changing volume setting silent\vibe\sound a couple of times - no effect
Soft reset - no help
Hard reset - no help
Slapping with upper side of the phone against my had - helped for some time, the it started again
Seems like hardware issue.
Currently working solution for me:
Switch off the option "Vibrate on keypress" in Settings ==> Sound & notification
UPD: had to turn off all the vibrations
So far so good. Apparently there is some issue with vibe motor, and it just does not stop. I assume that by disabling that option it is not getting started and thus no constant vibe follows.
UPD 2 Fixed:
Issue reoccurred on hitting the device against my palm.
Had to disassemble it, there are a couple of instructions on youtube, i used plastic cards.
Motor was spinning even with a switched off device. Had to unplug and plug the motor a couple of times and it helped.
Turned on all vibrations in settings, no issues so far.
Hope that helps.
Hi , ive done all i can before coming here for help but this is my last resort as im stumped. About a month ago i updated my phone to the latest Android version on my Nexus 6. Literally straight after the update my phone began to play up. It started turning itself off at random times , not when i did a specific thing it could be anything and at any time. Spoke to Motorola and they were no use , so cleared my phone did a reset and still the same occurrence, as it was still on the newest version. But what i found was when the phone was plugged into the mains it didn't go off at all, but then again this problem happened right after the update. SO the next thing i have done is custom ROM but again the device will turn off randomly .I really need help as ive only had this phone since January and ive not been able to use it.
Thanks in advance
Sounds like battery defect. Has same issue on my n4 with regards to being ok when plugged in

Yes, absolutely sounds like the battery issue that is somewhat common. Best to RMA at this point because the next step is that the battery starts to expand.
You can, in the meantime, boot into bootloader, and select bootloader logs. Press power to select and then reboot. This clears and calibrates the battery stats. Most likely, the issue will return.

Hello everyone,
I have a moto x xt1092. I flashed the us firmware and converted it to xt1095. all has been running perfect for 3 weeks or so. Today, my battery was low and the phone died. after about 10 mins I put it on charging, let it charge till the battery was 15%. I turn it on, the phone does turn on, all boot animations and all come, but after the motorola boot animation the display goes blank. I press and hold the power button, the option of turning the phone off comes up, nothing else. This has happened twice before, and after 5-10 mins the display starts working normally. But now, it isnt. PLease help me with the same.
ALso, the phone is getting very hot at every boot.
I have tried wiping the caches.
Flashing the firmware again is my last resort cuz i do not want the data deleted.
Thank you for your time
There is only one way to fix this. You have to factory reset the phone.
If you have a custom recovery installed you can use it to backup your files before you factory reset the phone.

I flashed the firmware again. It is working fine now though I lost the apps and their data. Also, an idea what may have caused this, so I take precautions from next time?

Almost every time I have seen the problem someone says "my battery died". So my suggestion is to hold your power button when your battery is super low and then press power off to shut it down safely. It's just like a computer if the battery dies while the computer is in use it can cause damage.

8 days ago, I decided my s5 had had enough abuse, and got the z force. It's been an amazing phone, other than the heat, which has always seemed a little warm, but didn't do anything to slow the phone down. Up until today, it's been glitch free, and I loved it.
Until about six hours ago. I wasn't paying attention to the battery, it died in the middle of watching YouTube videos with my kids, so I let it finish powering down, plugged it in, and let it charge. Upon turning the phone back on, I got an error message saying the device failed validation and may not work properly. Five second delay and it powered on, and everything seemed to function normally. Rebooted the device, same screen. Factory reset the device, same screen. I took the phone back to Best Buy and got a replacement, and I'm hoping it doesn't happen again, I really happen to like this phone...but I'm curious. Moto's customer support's first question was if I'd unlocked the bootloader or rooted the device, but being verizon-locked, I'm well aware that isn't possible and haven't attempted it. Anyone have any ideas why my phone just randomly decided to fail the bootloader verification so I can try to avoid replicating this mess?
I'd like to know as well. I have the same message every time it boots but it doesn't seem to affect anything I've noticed so far.

If you boot into the bootloader does it say if your device is locked or unlocked?

No such luck lol. It says "oem_locked" and software status is "Official".

I wanted to add that a factory reset didn't clear the message.
I also wonder if it has to do with turning on allow bootloader unlock in dev options. It seemed to have happened at about the same time I turned it on.

Factory reset didn't fix mine, either. And as far as turning on the bootloader unlock option...I hadn't even enabled dev options on mine, so I'd assume that's just a coincidence on yours.
Is anyone else getting a random reboot on their Note? I have the unlocked variant. It has rebooted about 4 times since I got it yesterday evening.
Update: Adhell was the issue. Stay away from it for now, guys!

Only had my Unlocked Note8 for 20 hours or so but no reboots yet.
May not be related, but there is an option to have the phone reboot on its own automatically during a certain time.
Is it possible you may have tweaked this option? Again may not apply here but worth a mention...

No, it's been at random times. I'm wondering if Adhell is causing it. I 'think' it started after I downloaded it, but not 100% sure.
Got mine yesterday. After I set everything up it started happening to me as well. Did a factory reset and set everything up a second time and all was well. Took the phone of the charger at 100% and went for a cigarette. When I came back 10 minutes later, the battery was already at 94% and rebooted itself again. I will try again to factory reset and won't use smartswitch this time to see if it helps. I use adhell as well so I will uninstall it first and see what happens.
over a week here, no reboots and I even used helium to restore apps/data

After disabling Adhell I no longer get reboots. Looks like it's the culprit.
I have not had one problem with mine at all. Not one freeze or lag or reboot.

That's causing it because I had the same problem. I removed it and everything good now. Adhell isn't compatible with the Galaxy Note 8 yet.
So I disabled adhell and no more random reboots. Great find @lUnorthodoxFoxl !
I am having the same reboot issue, after adhell 2 install, just removed it, lets see if that clears up the issue. Really need a good working ad blocker!!

I had Disconnect Pro on mine for less than 8 hours and had tons of network hang and restarted/rebooted at least 5 times, just removed it so I hope things go back to normal- embarrassing standing in the store and having to wait for your phone to finish restarting to pay for your groceries...
I have had a couple of complete system freezes that has caused the phone to reboot. But they are very rare. I put it down to an app issue rather than the phone.
--
I have not had one freeze or reboot and I have had this phone since the 7th of September. After I had to turn in my Note7 I got the V20. The V20 was terrible I couldn't wait for the new Note to come out. That thing would just loose signal but I think that was crapy Tmoblie. But the V20 Froze all the time and rebooted. The only good thing about the V20 was it had 3.0 QC and it was twice as fast at charging as the Note8 and the speakers were a little better. The Note8 is far superior to the V20. I am going to go out on a limb here and say it's going to be better than the V30 too.
Never once did I get a reboot or freeze up.
We have 2 notes and one is freezing and rebooting atleast twice a day in random apps, no Adhell installed. I will try a factory reset and hopefully that takes care of the issue
