My HTC was working fine yesterday until it froze at one point and it wouldn't respond to any buttons including the lock button (which has never happened before except occasionally during incoming calls). I did a battery pull and at first it would only vibrate and remain a black screen, though I could see that it did light dimly when I pressed the power button. After about 20 battery pull attempts it went back to showing the splash and screen and the phone turned on succesfully. After about 10 minutes it froze again, I did a battery pull and now it only showed the splash screen and froze, occasionally showing a red light in the top left corner. My phone was already on low battery so this process went on for another 25 minutes or so (vibrate + screen, freezing on splash screen, or booting then freezing) until I gave up. I came home and charged it overnight while it was off, and it was fully charged this morning, but now it won't turn on at all, it only vibrates once with the screen lighting very dim for a moment then just has a black screen.
I've been searching for a solution for the last 3 hours, seems it could be a range of things but nothing I've tried has worked. I'd appreciate the help, I already spent £90 on getting the screen repaired a couple weeks ago, I don't really want to spend more especially if for some reason HTC decide it can't be repaired under warranty.
Are you s-off and running a custom Rom? It so can you provide details on Rom, kernel and firmware?
There were threads a few weeks back about sensations randomly dying.
Thanks
s-off?
No I'm not running custom ROM.
Came acrosss a few other threads with similar threads but my problem seems to be a combination of everyone else's problems, so I'm a bit lost
are you under warentee? Your stock so there should be no reason at all for HTC to deny your warentee. I'm curious, have you tried to put a different battery in? To see if possibly your battery has gone bad? Worth a try? Even though it says full charge maybe its gone bad? Wouldn't hurt to try. If not and new battery won't work I'd definitely look into warentee repair. You have not altered your device so they definitely should honnor repair.

Ok, so my Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus has stopped completely operating. When you turn it on, it shows the Samsung Trend Plus logo, but before the boot animation, it gets stuck to a black screen (The screen color is black, the screen does not close). Whenever I press any of the phone's buttons, It will vibrates. It does that every 4-5 times and then theres a long vibration. The phone is rooted, but it runs for about 5 months with root. Im using an alcatel less powerfull charger to charge, due to the reason the official samsung one was broken. Yesterday, I mengled around with GravityBox (But I have GravityBox and Xposed framework since root) on the Navbar settings, and after the phone rebooted, It constantly said [SystemUI has stopped]. This had happened to me like a month ago again, but then I just reflashed the Official Rom via Odin. This time, I chose to just delete SystemUi's apk from /system/apps and then copy it back to the phone from my pc. The phone worked perfectly for a day after that, but when I went to take it out of my pocket at the evening, it was closed, even though 1 hour ago it had like 37% battery. So, I charged, and when It finished, I went to open and the Black Screen problem came out. I can't neither boot in recovery nor Download Mode

So, it seems your battery is dead, this is nothing to do with software (unless the stock rom killed it), so, buy a new one, or see if it is covered by the warranty

Yes, but when I put it in the charger, it shows the charging animation....... And then if the battery is dead, how can it power the vibrations and the screen?

I just tried a different battery, because I have a second Trend Plus, which works perfectly. It still has the same problem.

Sorry for answering a few months later, but I have to say that I had found a solution, which was the fact my Home Button wouldn't be presed in order to get in DOwnload Mode.
I appreaciate all your help.
Hey guys, so.. I may think that my nexus 5 is hard bricked.
It all started when my phone was having the infamous " power button " issues, the power button just got ****ed so I replaced it with a new one at some apparently ****ty lab.
It worked, but again started to show signs of malfunctions after 2 weeks or so, when I pressed the power button most of the times my phone didn't go into sleep mode it was like I never even pressed the damn button, but I got a long with it because usually on the second try the the button functioned properly.
But now.. oh boy, a few days ago my phone began to restart by itself and then I knew that my power button is completely ****ed again, and on top of that my screen got ****ed.. apparently the leds on my lcd got burned or something so the screen is like " stuck " at low brightness all the time ( tried everything, deff not a software issue. ).
So.. today, I went to replace my screen. the lab guy told me that the previous lab apparently did a really ****ty job on my nexus and as soon as he unplugged the motherboard to replace the screen the damn power button fell of as it wasn't even welded properly to the motherboard.. so he tried to fix it for a lot of time but with no luck.. and when he gave me my phone back, well.. everything went to ****.
Yes, he replaced the screen. but now, the phone WILL NOT BOOT. it's like the power button is pressing itself whenever I try to power up my phone so I can't even make it to the lolipop animation most of the time, and when I do get lucky and I get to the animation the phone just restarts again. Strange thing is that if the power button were to press itself all the time well the phone is suppose to try and turn on all the time right? wrong, only when I try to turn it on ( if I actually get that lucky because most of the times that i'm trying to turn it on nothing happens ) ONLY THEN it restarts, I can't use the bootloader because the phone just keeps restarting.
I don't know if this is a real power button issue, or if my phone got hard bricked.
any thoughts?
P.S: when I plug my nexus into a wall charger then it just keeps loop booting to the " google " screen until I unplug it.
Um this isn't a hard brick, they broke your phone...

The power button needs to be properly soldered on,
The phone is stuck in that cycle due to the failed soldering job,so the power button is pressed/on constantly
I don't get why the screen would get faulty.
If you don't have good repair places around you will need to buy a new phone.
This details is going to be long...sorry about that, but I'm extremely worried so please help me soon.
My nexus 5 is 1 year 2 months old, bought in india, currently out-of-warranty. I never ever rooted or made any software changes, it's on 6.0 Marshmallow on legit OTA software updates.
When I'd updated to Lollipop, few days it'd do random reboot, but it'd complete the reboot and the problem ended automatically in sometime.
Now, I'd installed 6.0 OTA, but now from past night the phone started doing these activities to be exact:
" While operating yesterday night, it randomly showed me 'Google' (which's shown when the phone starts) and the phone turned off. It was just a start. Today morning, it again doing same things when I turned phone on. If I press "Power+VolumeDown" it shows me the bootloader menu, but immediately switches to 'Google' screen, but here it starts showing in an infinite loop. So the "Power+VolumeDown" isn't working, only direct power button is turning phone on. Now when directly phone is turned on, if I press the power button once, it immediately goes to sleep and wakes up, I repeat this and the phone repeats this 2-3 times; if by-chance the phone sleeps by normal power button click and again if I try to turn it on, then on clicking power button it directly shows 'power off' (which is normally shown after waking up device and holding the power button, I try removing the option of 'power off' but it doesn't go and after 2-3 tries it goes, unlocks the screen, hangs for 2 seconds, shows google and repeats the same story.
Now I just did factory reset, now the phone had started but it again swiched off and now it isn't turning on again.
Please please help me what can be the problem? As in first thing I'm going service centre tomorrow morning, but as it's out of warranty how much they'll charge Idk, I mean can anyone along with solving above problem give a solution that what can be the cost, is this only a software issue (as I said I never made any roots anything, only thing phone ever might have got damaged would be by falling off from height, which last was dropped atleast 6 month ago, and I updated to 6.0 in mid-beginning of October, while this is the end, so what can be the problem exactly and only software issue it will be? What can be expected cost? In India, Mumbai and would be going to service centre tomorrow, I really don't trust Indian Service centres as they idk how much will they overcharge and how should I tackle them please tell?
Can anything mentioned till now be a hardware issue and be charged more for?
I'd also like to mention that I've absolutely zero idea about rooting and any other advance things so please don't provide any advanced resolutions which go completely above my head.
Please help me soon, I never did any modifications to the phone, and I wouldn't be getting a new one anytime soon, so I don't want my phone to be like this because i'm scare that at this moment it's either beyond repair or would be charged too much to repair..

I had nearly the same behaviour ... changing the battery solved this for me.
Battery Charging didn't resolve

I did 100% charge my phone, but nothing is helping. At this moment the phone isn't turning on and I'm waiting for battery to drain now as charge isn't helping. Even now if I put on charge, it won't charge and continuously show "google" "google" instead of charging.
Sir i think you have a problem with the power button. Its stuck. I have the same problem before. I had it fix and til now my nexus 5 is doing fine.
I have been having a similar problem for the past 3 months or so. I thought that it was my power button but I also saw in a few of these threads that it was a battery issue. My phone would act OK as long as I had 75% or more battery but once it got below that it would randomly boot loop. The last couple of weeks, when it boot looped, it would drop from +60% down to 4% after one reboot. That was when I decided to try replacing the battery even when the other symptoms seemed to point toward the power button.
I found a battery on line and changed it out last week and haven't had a problem since. I believe the phone was just getting erratic battery indication and shutting itself down thinking it was out of juice. Cracking open the phone and changing the battery was easier than expected provided you take your time and don't force anything.
Tip: There is a clip just above the "S" in Nexus that needs to be pressed back in when you put your cover back on or the wireless charging will not work.
Had this issue, replaced the battery. All is well now
I've had this phone for about 2 months now, and from the beginning, it's had an issue where it would randomly freeze, restart, and get stuck in a boot loop for random amounts of time. Sometimes it would be fine after 2 minutes, sometimes it would need 10. I kept thinking this was a firmware issue - the phone WAS rooted with TWRP installed, but none of my past phones have had this issue and hardly anybody online seems to have had it, either - and just thought that maybe installing a custom ROM would fix it, but never got around to doing so.
3 days ago, my S7 went into a boot loop again, so I just decided to put it down and let it do its thing. After 20 minutes, however, it still wasn't booting, so I booted into TWRP, and cleared the cache and Dalvik cache. Another 20 minutes later, I went into panic mode and started doing Nandroid backups of my stuff. I decided that I had no other choice but to commence with finding a ROM to replace stock. In the meantime, I just plugged it in and let it keep looping, hoping against hope that it would just fix itself like it always did.
About half an hour later, I was ready to install the ROM I'd decided on. I went and picked up my phone, but all that I saw was the screen was black, and the blue notification LED was lit up. I tried holding Vol- + Power to start booting it into TWRP, but nothing happened. The phone didn't vibrate, the screen didn't change, and the LED stayed lit. I tried holding every button combination possible, for even as long as a minute, but the phone refused to respond. I tried plugging it into my computer, but Windows didn't detect anything.
Skip to today, and the phone's battery has long since died(the LED isn't lit up, so I can only assume...), and I just decided to plug the phone in for the hell of it just to see if maybe it would maybe work again. To my astonishment, 2 minutes later, the battery icon came up on the screen, but the charging animation wasn't there. When I held Vol- + Power, the phone actually responded and restarted! Though, it wouldn't boot past the Galaxy S7 splash screen, and when I tried to boot it into TWRP, it went back to being a brick. I let it sit for about 10 minutes, plugged it in, and this time tried to get it into Download Mode, and it worked!
I downloaded the Switzerland version of the G930F firmware, flashed it in Odin, and everything seems to have worked. Odin says it succeeded, but when the phone tried to restart, it got to the splash screen, and after a few minutes, the screen went black again. When I plug it in now, the Galaxy S7 screen will come up, but now I can't seem to get into Download Mode anymore(though, it DOES still seem to respond to me pressing Vol- + Power).
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I can only seem to find 3 or 4 other threads on various forums about this problem, but none of them have any answers. People just keep saying the usual "Hold Vol- and Power to make the phone restart", but in case I haven't made it clear, THAT ISN'T WORKING.
And before you suggest that I return it to where I bought it for a replacement or refund: I bought this phone on eBay from a seller who said it was in pretty much mint condition. When the phone arrived, there was not a dent or scratch anywhere on the phone, even around the charger port, so I have no reason to believe he was lying. When I asked him about any possible problems with the phone's operational stability the other day, he says he tested it for about 2 weeks, and that he didn't notice anything.
Sounds like a hardware fault, not much else you can do other than flashing stock and factory resetting, which you've done
Considering it had a fault from day 1 it sounds like that fault finally caught up with it
Likely scenario if sent for repair, new motherboard replacement needed
