How do I turn the phone on?
OK, not as stupid as it might sound; when the battery gets to 0 and the phone powers down, I have real problems powering it back up again. Even after it's left plugged in for a while, I just have a flashing orange notification light.
Pressing the power on button does nothing.
Pressing and holding the power on eventually makes the screen flash (hard reset?)
But the phone wont start up unless I unplug it.
Should the phone vibrate/blink/flash to show it is starting the boot up process?
For how long do you charge it after dead?
Is it with the original charger?

it is totally normal for htc phones to do that. blinking yellow light means the battery is too low to power the system but it is still charging the battery. after 10-15 minutes of charging, the blinking yellow will change to stable yellow light after which you can press the power button to turn on your phone. hope this helps

Last night I ran my battery down to the point where it said Powering Off or whatever. I charged it all night and nothing. When I plug it in, sometimes it has a red LED in the upper left for a econd or two, then does one vibrate, then becomes completely unresponsive.
I've tried a battery pull and hooking it up that way. Same thing - red LED, one vibrate, then nothing. Some times when it is plugged in, it will show a battery picture with no juice for just a second then it all goes blank again.
I am running AOKP build 4 with Slim Kernel.
HELP!!!!!!!!!
I would try another battery, sounds like the one that you have us showing up as dead even after charging overnight.

Just unplug the phone... pull the battery... put the battery back in and WITHOUT plugging the phone in turn the phone back on (may have to hold the power button for a little while).
Strange plugging in the phone without a battery should bring up the charging screen with a question mark in it I think
So the problem has been remedied, though I would like a little input to better document this problem and solution...
I took the battery out, plugged the phone in, then popped the battery in. Really quickly, I got it to enter the weird screen where it is an exclamation point in a yield sign (I forget what combination of buttons I pushed to get here). It said Volume up to continue or Volume down to do something else. This is where it was fuzzy because I was freaking out about having to buy another phone.
Anyways, I hit the volume button that was supposed to reboot and it went through the boot sequence and showed me charging at 98%. This is strange because it was plugged in all night but non-responsive - not power, no heat, no nothing.
So long story short, if running this ROM/Kernel combo - DO NOT LET THIS THING GO TO 0%!!!
And if anyone can tell me what combo I pressed to enter that screen, it would be very helpful. Thanks guys!
The screen you got to is called Download Mode..
Download Mode - This is a setting in which you will put your phone when using Odin. There are other ways, but most people will reach download mode by powering down, removing the battery, and holding volume down while plugging the factory usb cord into the computer and phone. Odin can only communicate properly with your phone if the phone is in download mode.
For future reference you have to
1. hold volume down + power + home button
2. Per on screen instructions, press volume down to reboot/restart device.
This is a documented problem and one that has been posted about numerous times, glad you figured it out. Also, this will always fix the problem so you should not worry if the phone running this ROM/Kernel combo runs down to 0%.
too bad samsung doesn't have a genius bar.....lol
Well its new and nothing happens when pressing power button, holding. Plugged in to AC and now has a orange light next to button. Guess 100% dead battery. 2nd time.. I gave up. Yeah nothing lol. Press on while plugged (left plugged in) in just blinks orange.

Just let it charge for 4-5 hrs, then try again, if you go, then exchange for another one. There is no trick to turn on a brand new device, possible bad power button, mainboard, battery what ever....or if you feel a very vibration while holding down the power button, possible screen issue.
Hello,
Two days ago, i was on a plane and my htc ons s S3 turn off due to battery go to less than 5% and loses all power, when i came to home i try to charge it but the LED still off and when i pressing the Power key does not turn on the device, i have left more than 5h and the issue still here.
if i remove the battery and than try to charge it with an externel adaptater sector, it will be charged or not ?
Please any idea ?
You might have to leave it alone on charge for at least 15-30 minutes until the LED shows up. Then you should be able to power it on.

I have already leave at all the night, the LED is up but i think the phone is not charging, when i try to power on it, nothing happened.
When a put the sector to the phone, the LED flash about 10s with orange color, and than it's still off for some time and it's turn on (orange color) but no charge on the battery.
Have you tried to boot to hboot while charging(hold vol down and hold power same time).
If you plug into pc does it show up or do anything in pc.

Not working
Have you tried holding the power button down for 10+ seconds?
The only other thing I can think of is something has frozen, maybe you can leave it off charge for a day or two until the battery is really completely flat, then charge it for a few hours without turning it on, then see what happens?
Thanks for all,
It's work now
but believe me I heated my phone around 7min because I'm in a very cold city now and when i touch the phone i find it very cold so i decided to put it near from a fireplace and it's work juste after.
ooooofffffff

No, the plane didn't do anything to the phone.
Did the battery die? Did you stick the phone on a charger after it turned off?
Best guess is that it's overheated to the thermal shutdown limit.
Leave it a while then try powering it back on

na, when you hit the safety shutdown temp, all it does is shut down, you can boot it right after. ive reached it many times(on purpose), it works.
what the op is describing sounds like the rlod on the nexus 4(red light of death). it happens when the phone thinks it went below 0%. on the n4 there are two solutions, one works sometimes, the other all the time. the one that works sometimes is leave it on the charger for several hours, then try to boot into the bootloader, then shut off the phone from there and keep charging. the method that works 100% is to remove the back cover, disconnect the battery, then reconnect it. this is a hard reset for the battery, and works 100% of the time on the nexus 4.

if it was something that happened on its own(without you tinkering with your phone), then yes.

You may want to give this procedure a try, its copied directly from Google's product support page for the Nexus 7.
Make sure there isn’t any dust or lint in the power port.
Using the original power adapter and USB cable, plug your Nexus 7 into a functioning power outlet. Nexus 7 has specific power requirements, and the USB cable and power adapter that are included are designed to meet those requirements.
Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the tablet and the power adapter.
After 1 minute, check to see if a battery icon appears on the screen.
If the battery icon appears, press & hold the Power button for 15 to 30 seconds to see if the device turns on.
If the battery icon doesn't appear, try accessing the Android bootloader menu:
Press & hold the Volume down button. While holding Volume down, press & hold the Power button for at least 10 seconds until you see an Android robot and the word Start on the screen.
Press the Volume down button until Power off is highlighted. Press the Power button to select that option.
Disconnect the charger and reconnect it within 10 seconds. A battery icon should appear on your screen.
Once the battery icon appears on the screen, allow your tablet to charge for at least 1 hour before turning it back on.
returned it

I got a new one thanks for all your help
I just had a red blinking light and no charge indicator situation, as well. Nothing seemed to work: plugged it in for 20 minutes, unplugged it for 20 minutes, plugged it back in...and after another hour on the charger I finally noticed the blinking red light had gone away, and hitting power brought up the charging indicator as normal. Booted right up and has been fine since.
My Nexus 5 just started doing this. I was in the middle of playing a game while my phone was on the charger (Brave Frontier) and suddenly the screen went dead and I had the red flashing light. I'm guessing I was using the juice faster than the charger could fill it so I killed it. I couldn't get the battery indicator to come back but as I was typing this the red light finally stopped flashing and the phone rebooted.
This happened to my N5 today. I was on a Hangouts video chat while plugged in from wall charger and I noticed the battery was actually draining rather than charging. So I figured hangouts was discharging the battery faster than the charging. Eventually it went to 0% and stayed that way for a while and suddenly the screen went off and the LED started blinking red. Followed the steps posted here, plugged in, left for a while and the blinking stops and phone boots up.
Never Hangout-ing with low charge ever! D:
I just replaced the battery as well as both the fingerprint reader and the charging port board. Of course many potential problems with a tripple-fix like that but I actually think I got it right!
Now it appears as the new battery is fully drained and I can't get the phone to boot – not even into Recovery. It doesn't seem to take any charge either.
The bootloader is unlocked and rooted (Magisk) and has TWRP and Lineage 17.1 installed.
When connected to charger, red LED starts blinking but the screen stays black.
After 45 seconds the LED turns off.
Intermittently starts blinking again.
Restarting with VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON doesn't work
It does vibrate after 12-15 seconds but then nothing.
VOL DOWN -> adding POWER BUTTON, then releasing POWER at vibration doesn’t work either.
Resetting battery calibration according to htc-instructions didn't do anything either
VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER for up to 2 minutes
(https://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10/faq/what-should-i-do-if-my-phone-will-not-charge.html)
Had it connected to charger for several hours without any result
Had it connected to USB 2.0-port on computer for several hours without any result
Read somewhere that a drained battery might have a hard time receiving the high current from a charger but could work with the relatively weak charging from a USB 2.0-port. (couldn’t find the source right now..)
Wondering whether the battery has been put into "sleep mode" by its protective circuit built due to too low voltage, as described in this thread:
SOLVED: Device will not power on after battery ran dry? - HTC One M8
Have you tried to reset the charging logic of the device, first you must charge your M8 for a minimum of 10 minutes using a wall charger. With the power off, press down and hold the volume up and down button with the power button for approximately 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, release all of...
