So basically my pebble is bricked. I noticed that it was heating up right before it stopped, but basically it wont light up unless its hooked up to a charger. The weird thing is that I can't even turn it on. As soon as I disconnect the charger, the thing just dies. My guess is that the battery is just dead and is acting as a passthrough, but if that's the case then I have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas?

I can't seem to find a way to charge the phone while off. If I turn it off then plug the power cord in, the phone turns on. If I plug the phone in then power off the phone turns back on.
Any ideas?
There's nothing to be done about it.
I contacted HTC about this in the past and their take on it is that its the nature of the beast. If the charger is plugged in, then the phone will stay on.
Sorry
Is there a reason you would want the phone to be off while it's charging?
Can't see why you'd want the phone switched off at all.... I'm fairly certain the phone needs to be switched on so it can manage the charging process, monitor when the battery is fully charged and therefore prevent overcharging which would wreck the battery.
But the concept of switching off the phone at all is.....weird. It's an "always on" device!

Hi guys, I have a huge problem.
Currently I'm on vacation in Croatia, where it's around 38-40 C every day. One day I had to log into an unsecured wi-fi. I know, i shouldn't have done that but it was urgent. Well, the same night (while charging) my phone turned off itself and I had to turn it back on on the next day. It worked the whole day until I opened the camera. Suddenly the phone went off and I wasn't able to turn it on. At first I thought the battery has drained so I plugged it into the original OP charger (dash). It gets warm while charging, but the LED is not turning on. After an hour of charging I still can't turn the phone on. Not even after a charging over night. There's also no vibration after holding the power button, neither holding the power-button for 20 (or more) seconds . I can't even get into recovery mode by holding volume-down and power.
I'm on original Resurrection Rom.
Is there anything else I could try? Could it be that some hardware is damaged (overheated)?
Since I'm on vacation there's currently no way for me to do any kind of unbricking until I find some phone-repair service.
I'm not a pro, but Im pretty sure the problem occur on the hardware side since the phone is not taking the charge and no vibration
I once had an Android phone (not 3t), the same thing occured, the phone I had had some hardware damage near the battery so I experienced the same problems you listed, ended up getting a new phone
Overheating is probably not the issue, at least not the 40C air temps you mentioned. These devices can probably something like 60C (internal temp at CPU or battery) before seeing any damage. Lot of folks live where it's just as hot as where you are, if not hotter. So I have to think the device is designed to work under such conditions.
Try holding the power button longer (a minute or more). I don't know about this device. But on my old HTC M8, there were instances where the phone powered off by itself. And the power button needed to be held over a minute, to make it boot. Although no charge LED is concerning.
Mine did the same a few days ago, was tethering and the phone just shut off. Buttons didn't work, no vibration, no charge LED, no anything. Thought it died but after plugging it into a PC it was detected as QHSUSB_BULK (hardbrick).
But it turned on normally after a minute lol.
Hallo. Mine also crashed. I was in the sunset playing game and taking pictures. Then phone suddenly got so warm and lagged, It turned off itself. No reaction. I connected into charger and then turned on hopefully. I think you must take care, because it has metal body and easy heating, and when heating it's lagging and not works good
My opinion is that it's overheat problem

You will see Qualcomm download mode message (QHSUSB_BULK) whenever the device is powered off. It needs to be powered on, at least to bootloader (or recovery or OS) for the PC to connect in any other way.
Update
After 3 days, it finally turns on and charges as expected. Don't know if it has to do anything with it, but i let it in the charger for 1 day.
but now another problem occured.
every time I press the homebutton the phone crashes and goes off. this only happenes if the fingerprintscanner is not requested.
i.e. unlocking phone with fingerprint, does not crash, but... pressimg homebutton to go back to home screen crashes.
the phone turned off today after the screen started to flicker.
I noticed the battery was also flat.
ever since then it will not turn on, the best I have got is when I plug it in after 30min it shows up that it is in charge mode but that comes and goes.
as soon as I try calibrating it just goes off and doesn't do anything, nothing has brought the phone back to life . is there anything else I can do?
it now keeps booting back to charge when i do the battery calibration.... does this mean the phone is broke or just flat?
when it trys to turn on the screen gos blue after the logo and then turns off......
ok now the phone is back buti have to have the charger in otherwise it turns straight off
If Im understanding, you have to keep the device connected to charger to have it booted up and working else it turns off, if so then possibly hardware failure, battery terminals seem to be malfunctioning, will need repairs no technical fix as I understand.
yeah been told it will cost me £30 to replace battery
Either the charger-cable-connector bit is unreliable (do you have other chargers and cables?) or the battery itself is so broke that it doesn't store electricity any longer.
The latter usually usually doesn't come by surprice. Was battery life very short before this incident?
I changed my phone's battery and other than the annoying stickers it went well, i wanted to test the battery and connected the phone, the led at the top turns on as if its charging but I'm not getting the charging screen, my concern is that i messed up the display cable or something what do you guys think.
I really don't want to get a new phone, all things considered I'm quite happy with this one.
Edit: Also when i try to turn on while connected the screen turns lighter as if its going to turn on but then just goes dark and I have to connect and reconnect the battery again for it to charge, is my phone dead or perhaps the problem is the new battery?
Hi I have an issue with Redmi 9T. It is hard to complexly describe issue, but I will try. Suddenly phone stopped taking charge and turned off. Then it sometines take charge and sometimes not. I have completely cleaned charging port, took phone apart and changed battery. As soon as phone starts it works absolutely fine (charges everytime cabel is plugged in, power button works correctly etc.) until I turn it off for some time. Then issue appear again. I am only able to get is started, when taken apart and disconnect battery and then connect again. In this case it is also weird, because it needst phone to be on charger for some little time, then it lets me turn on phone. It looks like phone "thinks" it is completely discharded, but when suddenly works and it boots into phone, battery has normal charge. When phone is in state, that it does not respond to anything, when charger is plugged in, it takes 0.05A and do nothing. I have quite enough experience, but I have never come across issue like this. Do you have any ideas, how to solve this? Or any hint what should I try?
The same started happening to mine not long ago. I don't know the reason nor the fix. I got my battery changed but didn't seem to do much as it started happening again some weeks after.
I have exactly the same problem. Couldn't it be software?
