[Q] Battery Issues - HTC One S

Hello,
Since about the last month every time my battery dies completely it takes for ever (at least a couple of hours) before I can turn it back on.
When I plug it into the charger the orange light that is supposed to come on when it charges doesnt come on.
I have unlocked the bootloader and am running the Viper One S rom with CWM.
Do you guys think this is a software problem or is it the Hardware ?
Thanks for the help ! :laugh:

Bricked Sensation, PLEASE help me

2 weeks ago I have bought a HTC Sensation, branded by Vodafone, LOCKED, S-ON, HBOOT 1.27, firmware 3.32, everything works.
I have done S-OFF via juopunutbear , superCID, debranded, firmware 3.33, latest radio, and 4ext recovery.
I have tried many ROMs like: ARHD, Pyromod, AOKP, CM10, official CM9 stable, ViperS, and OpenSensation.
I have also tried many KERNELs : SebastianFM, faux132, bricked kerlnel, DragunKernel and tamcore.
OpenSensation and tamcore were last working.
Last night I have installed HyperNonSense-v3.4 , but it don't load. It's only show a HTC logo and restart.
So, i press Vol - and enter bootloader. Select recovery and it normally boot into 4ext recovery. I have battery charged only to 30%.
It was late night and i was tired. So i put my phone on table, DON'T TURN OFF and go sleep. (08 september 1:25 AM)
(9:25 AM) When i wake up, i see only 3% charged battery. So i go have a breakfast but when i come to bedroom, my sensation was OFF.
(8:15 PM) A half hour ago i put Sensation on charger, but LED don't turn ON.
I can't turn on my phone.
Tried to remove battery and other things many times.
But i still CAN'T TURN ON!!!
PLEASE, can SOMEONE HELP ME???
:crying: :crying: :crying:

best wishes to you

Try to leave the phone to charge a couple of hours and then.
Try to turn it back on a combination of up and down volume and power button.(all buttons in the same time)
My friend had this problem with htc evo 3d.
He was able to solve it in this way.

i wil try this
I have heard of this happening A LOT with this device. It makes me afraid to death to EVER let my battery run down all the way! I'm wondering if it isn't some sort of "bug" the sensation has ? I've personally read of this happening at least ten times! I'm wondering what causes this? People say there device is running perfectly fine then battery runs down and it won't turn back on! Too many people with the same story to be a fluke thing... Some had success with charging without sd and sim for several hours then replacing sd and sim and put back on charger for a while. I hope this helps and wish you the best.

Ok to actually put some knowledge behind this instead of people guessing whats wrong:
Good news is the phone isnt bricked.
Basically htc build in some code that means if the battery runs completly flat, it wont turn on again until it is charged to at least 30 % - it doesnt even power on the charging LED.
Trust me, I have had this problem myself but after charging for a few hours it should turn on

[Problem] HTC Inspire will not work at all HELP!!

Hey all, I just got through with this hurricane sandy business and now I find my phone not working at all. First off I'd like to say that there is no water damage to this phone and it is NOT rooted. The problem is that it just won't turn on at all, and won't charge when I try to charge the device. The day before I charged the phone and it worked fine. I can provide more details if needed but I need to find a solution to this.
Did it run down on battery completely before it did this? You might need to charge it for a bit before it turns on. Also, see if you can get your hands on a spare battery to see if it's the battery's problem. I would also try removing the battery and putting it back just to make sure it wasn't jostled loose.

Two days ago I completely let the battery drain on its own because it was draining faster than usual and I was using it very minimally due to the lack of phone signal during the power outage. And yesterday I charged it until it was 100% in the morning and at night I charged it again until 100%. Before I went to bed, I turned off my phone and it was 90% and when I turned it on in the morning it was at 77% (which I thought was weird since the phone was not even on). Now the phone will not work at all. I took the battery out and everything. I even tried turning the phone on while trying to charge it (but it would not charge). The only feedback I got was that it vibrated when I tried turning it on this afternoon and after that was nothing. (it would either get stuck at the AT&T bootup part or I would get no display at all)

And nothing happened to it in between at all? That's very odd. The only thing I can think of to try is another battery.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

Nothing I can think of. It was fully charged by 9PM the other night and shut off before I went to bed. Next morning the batter is nearly halfway drained for no apparent reason. I think I will get another battery to test.
Also I let the battery sit out of the phone for a few days now and the phone still does not work.

Get a hold of a charged battery, then after 1 hour with no battery in the device, replace the battery remove the SD-Card and the SIM-Card, replace all covers. Reboot your PC and go to firewall tab in the control panel and turn of your firewalls, then reboot your PC, then using USB data cable not a charging cable.. with your device being OFF conect to a USB connection in the back of your PC, if it's a laptop use the one next to the intranet connection. Then wait about 1min. If nothing happwned, hold the volume down button then press and release the power button. if nothing happened, hold the volume up then press and release the power button. If nothing happened do the samething this time by holding both up and down volume buttons. If nothing happened with your device connected to the PC go to MY Computer tab right click on C>Properties then go to tools click on check disc tab check mark both options then restart your PC. Before windows tour OS starts, your PC will go through a self check. let it do its thing. it takes a couple of hours. then after its down check to see if it has seen your device. if not then do procedures above once again. GOOD LUCK.

Okay so I finally got it to turn on but in order to charge it, the phone must be turned off for some reason. Also, the touch screen is not working, even after I did a hard reset and erased all my data. I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue or a software issue because the display is working fine.

That same thing happened to a friend of mine. She took it to a technician tho and they sorted it out for her.
Hello every one, this just my first post here, but I have been follow the forum very very close since some days ago thanks to Mustaavalkosta and his new CyanogenMod Rom here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533007&page=283.
I am having a similar problem with my HTC Inspire, here is my story. I bought it like it a year ago, the first thing I do was to rooted with AAHK and install CyanoyenMod cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-ace. Everything works just fine till a couple of months ago. One night I just leave my Inspire and go to sleep, the next morning I wasn't able to turn on, not charging, not turn on. Was not the battery because my brother has another Inspire and I check with his battery. I just leave the phone without the battery and Sim and SD for a day and them come back again, but at next day the same occurs. I try all that time, vol down+power. voldown+volup, every convination but nothing works. So I decide to dissensambly my phone... in the process I broke the ribbon flex cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-HTC-Desire-HD-Inspire-4G-Camera-Socket-Keypad-Membrane-PBC-Ribbon-Flex-Cable-/320925341841?pt=US_Cell_Phone_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4ab8a41891 The phone was in parts on my table like a month till I was able to buy and recieve the ribbon (I live in Colombia). Finally the ribbon arrives 3 days ago, so I assembled the phone again and...magic! the phone turns on. My next step was install the Mustaavalkosta Rom that I mentioned before.... but, yesterday, my phone was dead again. So a try all steps again, put out the battery, Sim and Sd... and again try all the combinations of buttons, but nothing works... So I do it again: dissensably again my phone: Only disconnecting the display doesn't works... I have to disconect the display and the ribbon cable, assembled again and just turn on again.... Now I am waiting for the next black out...
I know is a weird behavior, but may be some one can point me in some direction to fix it.. I am not a developer or anything like that, but I like to investigate and solve problems... any help will be wonderful.
Cheers!
PD: I dont have any apps installed, just trying the Rom as it is.
PD: The next time it happens I will try the niavaran advises.

Same here !!!
I had this same problem with my device already TWICE..... in two weeks. I bought my phone, installed what i need.... in first week phone got dead overnite.... no charging light, no reset, nothing.... I put in on warranty repair.... after it came back the statement said that what I said did not appear so they reflashed it to newer ROM only....how I don't know when the phone was completely dead... I again installed all I need a next week after happened the same!!!! At evening phone was charged full and at morning it was dead. So second time i put it on warranty repair and they said that is my problem, that I should not install any another apps from MS store !!!! I mean what the F**K, I buy overexpensive phone and I should use it without additional apps from MS store??? then I need only Nokia from 1990 and I'll be set to phone and write sms My 8X is still in repair so we will see what will happen next time.... but to say truth, I'm fed up with this phone already...
Just happened to me few days ago with the battery at about 10%. after i totally gave up and ready to send it for warranty repair. After a day, it started again as the battery was fully drained. it seems that the phone freezed somewhere with the screen off and the only trick was to drain the battery. no key combination was working and no charging lite. It could be so easy if the battery was accessible, unfortunately it's not ((
phone dead

Hello,
I searched for died 8X Phones. I have the same problem TWICE with my HTC 8X.
The firstdevice is ran 6 weeks, then the repair center has replaced my phone with a brand new one. After 2 weeks exactly the same problem (no function, no loading, no reset, no connection) with the second one
Have anyone an idea which function or app the phone lets crashing?
I woke up this morning to my HTC 8X being powered down when I know it had at least 45% battery. When I tried to power the device back on it would not come back on. I contacted HTC and they told me to press camera button+vol down+power for fifteen seconds and when the device vibrates to let go of the power button but keep the camera+vol down buttons pressed, when I attempted this nothing happend so the HTC representative on the phone advised me to just send it in for repair. I've owned the phone for a little over a month and a half, was on the latest firmware, and had the phone protected with full body invisible shield and HTC doubleshot case.
Had this problem yesterday...suddenly phone died and nothing
waited till i got home from work and plugged it in to the laptop and it sprang back to life saying it was compleatly out of charge....was showing 80 odd % before hand

[SOLVED][Q] HTC Sensation won't turn on

On Monday night I used the Juopunut bear S-OFF method successfully and then installed ClockworkMod Recovery and Cyanogen Mod 10. It was working like a dream I absolutely loved it. I restarted it many times etc and it worked completely fine, I had zero issues. However last night, I turned the phone off and then plugged it in to charge. When I woke up this morning I cannot turn it on, no matter what I do. When I plug it in to the charger the orange light turns on for about 1 second and then turns off. Is my phone bricked? Is my battery dead? Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure it's not bricked. I've left it plugged in to my pc and the charing light is now flashing! I have hope that it will be ok How can you charge the phone without the battery?

the device itself has a little energy stored in case when the battery is fully uncharged
ok then if the led is showing red now boot to bootloader and select reboot

yeap leave it for a while
It works!
After letting it charge for about 20min while the orange led blinked on and off every second I unplugged it, held down the power button, and the beautiful HTC logo illuminated across my screen. I'm now up and running and the device is charging. I'm very glad I didn't buy a new battery for $40. I'm hoping this will never happen again but if it does I won't be alarmed. If anyone out there is having a similar issue do not fret!
Problems with HTC Sensation
My HTC Sensation has become unusable due to faults that have recently developed. I sent it off to HTC but apparently it has 'water damage' even though I've always been incredibly careful with it and never dropped it in a puddle or anything.
I'm new to this website so I'm not sure how to go about getting advice.
If someone could help me on how to get some answers it would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
I dropped my mobile in water, dried it with hair dryer left it fir a week and then it started again.

Sensation is kinda.. dead

hey everyone, I have an issue with my girlfriend's HTC Sensation
The phone is almost 3 years old now, and its been acting up lately. It was slow, would freeze from time to time and the general responsiveness was crappy.
She played some game, during which the phone turned itself off, and after a while it would get hot (heating issue). After that it would no longer turn on, the LED doesnt turn on when its charging (or should be at least) and theres no way to enter bootloader/recovery/boot it up. ADB doesnt detect it either.
The LED turned on yesterday while charging and the phone booted up until the HTC logo, then it turned itself off again.
what could be the issue? dead battery or CPU? the battery is also quite old, probably a year+ and it wouldnt last 2 hours on full charge.

I unfortunately dont have a spare battery, I was telling her to get a new one because this one isnt gonna last much longer but she wouldnt listen - it's not my phone so I didnt get another battery. When the usb is plugged in the LED doesnt turn on anymore, I cant really get it to boot up or anything. it only happened once

I only took a fast look, but it says it'll work only for devices bricked by S-ON, the phone was rooted and running CM10.1, she doesnt know how to mess around with software.

yes probably you are right
maybe you won't have any luck with this method
i don't know what else to suggest
the only thing i can tell you is to use a second battery if you can find one
edit: did you check if the battery fits correctly?
