Solid Orange light - HTC One S

Does anyone else have a solid orange light glowing on the bottom left 5th over of the ear piece holes? Just got mine today. Seems really odd!!

Why yes sir I am.
Additionally, I noticed there are Flash LED options. All mine are checked I am assuming this is for the rear LED to alert in case you are away from your device and a notification rolls in? Tested but not getting any LED alerts.

Nah, again that's for the same LED behind the grill. It prob won't flash while it's charging (not sure, never paid too much attention)

Super funny. It is that same micro light but green upon alert. lol

Notification light. HTC has these on most, if not all, of their phones in the last few years.
When charging, the light will be red, and will usually override any notification lights.
When fully charged, it changes to green, still overriding any notifications.
When your battery is very low, it will flash red.
When not plugged in, the phone will flash this light when you get notifications. Usually it only flashes green.
Some HTC phones can flash other colors as well, such as my Desire. For instance, when I get a facebook notification, it shows blue. But from what I understand, not many phones can do colors other than red and green.
I my One S won't arrive until this tuesday, so I cannot test for other colors, but I'm sure somebody else can if they haven't already.

I'm just going to borrow this thread, if it's okay? =)
When I plug in my charger, the orange LED goes on, but the battery indicator doesn't change and the power-menu says "Discharging".
I have to pull the cable and re-insert it in order to get it to charge.
Ideas?

Ate you saying if you plug it into the phone first then to the wall it doesn't charge? That's normal, plug it in to the wall first then to the phone.

Damn! I was hoping for wireless charging!
Jokes aside, the charger is always plugged into the wall. Same thing happen at work, I have a USB cable plugged in my computer and I have to plug it in my phone twice before it charges

MyTouch 4G Slide Orange Blinking Lights

Could a Mod please move this thread to the Slide board? -Thank you!
Hello, all.
I just picked up a used Mytouch 4g slide rather cheaply, but it
was missing the battery. I ordered the battery from some Chinese
retailer for $3. I managed to get the device powered on the first time,
but I decided to let the battery drain out to "cycle it."
After the battery was completely drained, I plugged in the charger,
and the LED became orange, then it began to blink. After a minute
or so, the blinking stopped and the LED doesn't light up at all.
Interestingly enough, if I hold any button, the orange light goes back on, but it
quickly goes off again.
The same thing happens if I plug and unplug it.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thank you!
Well if it stops then it should be charging correctly. But if it keeps blinking it needs another charging cord. A HTC one preferably.

First your on the WRONG thread this is the Mytouch 4G not the slide....
Second it seems but may be wrong but they tried plugging it in with out the battery. Might want to ask in the slide threads though.

Ah! My apologies. Sorry for being such a n00b; I didn't know there was a separate section for the slide. :-(
Anyway, I forgot to mention two very important details:
1. After the blinking, there's no LED light at all.
2. I can't power it on at all.
Anyway, I'm using a OEM HTC charger that I ordered off of Amazon,
so I expect it's up to notch.
Sorry and thanks again.

u should never let ur battery get to low,,, keep it charged... leave it alone for awhile..
Did someone find a solution to this? A friend of mine's One S had exactly the same issue..Also recharged for something like 5-6 hours but never turned on again..suggestions?
Only thing you can try is to boot into 'Fastboot' and try reboot from there, not saying it will work but worth a try cuz mine did the same thing 2 days ago and mine was cuz battery dropped lower than 2% while messing around on computer

Are you using cwm recovery? If so boot into fastboot and flash twrp. There is a bug with cwm that won't boot the phone while the battery is dead...the led light just flashes and occasionally you will get the screen flash. Unplug the phone from charger and pc, hold volume down + power to enter bootloader then plug into pc to fastboot the twrp recovery.

I had the same problem a loooooooooooooong time ago. Plug it in, wait for it to have a solid orange LED. Then try to power it on. If that doesn't work, give it a couple more minutes then do a soft reset. If that doesn't work, then you, sir, have a very plush paperweight.

I just googled to see if the One S had any other LED colours except for green, orange and amber, because I would like to customise them as well, and I saw this thread on the results. Sadly, green, orange and amber is my lot

HTC Battery Empty before Flashing

Hi Folks,
I tried to flash my HTC One X for the first time, but I didn't pay attention the battery level, which was rather low.
Therefore, I'm stuck on the main screen with a message stating "Battery too low to flash"...
And every time I run the famous .Bat, with the following code:
//-------------------------------------------
@echo off
:start
fastboot getvar battery-voltage
fastboot reboot-bootloader
ping \n 6 localhost >nul
goto start
//--------------------------------------------
It carries out only 1 iteration and the phone turns off, no way to turn it on back again.
The battery was working nicely before I flash, therefore, I don't think that the problem comes from there.
Any help out there would be much appreciated !
Many thanks in advance !!!

I guess because I changed the initial rom by another one and tried to flash it whereas it was on low battery..
Any help about what to do there would be grandly appreciated. To be honest, I've no damn clue about am I supposed to do there...
Many thanks in advance..
Let phone charge for about an hour. Then boot into bootloader and select recovery. Once in recovery flash the rom again. Hope this helps.

It's good. If it stays on, it's charging and you're not bricked. Just leave it overnight and try again tomorrow. You should have a full charge by then.
Thanks for the tips folks.
I will let you know tomorrow whether it worked out or not.
Many thanks again !

Damn, after 1-2 hours, it stopped charging and the Red Led turned off ! .. Any reason for that? What could I do to hijack that??.. Thank you
Did you get a green led or did the red just go out?

Unfortunately no green led, the red went out... : /
Maybe you bumped the cable. Unplug it, wait 5 minutes and plug it back in.
2 hours should be enough to charge it to experiment/flash with the phone. HTC recommends 30% battery or more to update firmware. 2 hours should have got you more than that.

Cheers for the tip but I haven't touched the cable at all, and this is not the first time things happen that way... Every ~1.30H - 2H, it stops charging and the red led turns off (black). Whereas my battery was working very nicely before I attempt to flash it.. :/
Therefore, no absolute way to reach those damn 30%.. any other idea to get them? Thanks a lot.

Yes, that's what he means. Charge with the wall plug. (It will charge twice as fast)
Unfortunately It didn't work, I let it charge the whole night but without any success: No red Light (No green one either), just a black led with no color...
Thanks for any help !
Any idea to figure it out? Being with no phone since 2 weeks doesn't help, I'm about to give up.. Many thanks in advance !

[Q] Sensation 4g charger/reboot problem

So i was out. I go and hit the power button to check the time. The phone went dim, because it was about to turn the screen off. I decided to check Facebook. I went to unlock the phone, phone just restarted. It kept restarting. I pulled the battery and put it back in. Same problem. Then I went into hboot and saw a message about voltage, which no longer shows up. I hit the option to go into recovery and phone just restarts. When plugging in the charger, I get an orange light for about 4-5 seconds and then it goes off. It was working with no problem and i get this problem smh. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
greetings when you plug your phone to charger does the orange LED fluctuate(blinks) or stays on
if it fluctuates it means you phone is not getting enough voltage from the charger, you have problem in adapter as my LED light used to blink and after changing the adapter it whent.
try switching charger means use wall charger instead of pc or vice versa

when i plug the charger, the LED light is solid for about 4-5secs and then goes off. Now that you mentioned it, about a couple of months back, i got that issue where the LED light was blinking; but haven't had that problem since.

That didn't work. I was able to get a spare battery and get the same problem. Phone boots up to the white htc screen and then just reboots again.
