hello,
I had left my phone to charge at night, then this morning it was not responding. Power button was not waking up the phone. Then i forced to reset by power and volume buttons. Vibrated 3 times and completely shut off. Now it is not opening.
I already tried, reset button in sim cards slot. It is not working also. Please help me.
Did you try connecting it to PC Suite or FLashtool? Check that once and also try charging another hour and then force reset the phone. Also I think there is a reset button somewhere under the sim card slot. Try that one too.
Hold volume up and press power. Wait for beep three times. Give it a few seconds and then press power alone, should boot.
Thanks guys, i tried both but still i have sudden death. reset button and power+volume buttons not working. Also flashtool could'nt find my device.
Thats not good, any led when plugged in?
I had a similar instance after flashing unofficial cm12. Phone was cooling down from taking a run through an obvious cpu bug that really killed my battery. I shut it off to cool down with 20 precent still left in the battery. And the phone started to act this way when I went to power it on. No led power indicator or anything even with usb connected. My computer did respond to the usb being connected as if a device was there though. I waited about 10 minutes with the phone in front of some cool air and then did the volume up power button reset which worked then. Still quite a scary incident.

So this is a weird problem I just started having today.
After putting my phone away during practice, I came back to find that it had only 1% battery.
It died en route to my room, and when I first plugged it in to my PC, it turned on and worked normally. After a while it turned off.
Now, when I try to turn it back on, the htc Raphael screen comes up, and it makes a short vibration, then goes to black for about 1 second, and then repeats. It has been doing this nonstop.
However, it only does so when it is plugged in to a power source. When it is not plugged in, it is completely unresponsive.
I have the elite RC2 ROM that I flashed back in November.
Any suggestions?
hard reset to start things off.
Hold down the volume down button, center button and then press the reset button with the stylus until you see a screen that says something like "this operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel." then press volume up. Remember you will lose all data, phone numbers and anything else stored on the phone.
i know this problem
I have had several, i solve it taking press the power button long time during the boot.
Of course, the phone must be plugged in to a power source.
Problem solved.
I left it unplugged with the battery out overnight, and then plugged it in to charge, and it did not attempt to startup.
After letting it charge again it worked as normal.
I suppose the battery was so run down for some reason, that even plugged in, it did not get enough power to complete the boot.
It works now. About to flash Elite RC3 and a new radio.
I was taking a video, and finished it, when suddenly the phone froze up and turned off. I've been using MIUI, and while it's mostly pretty stable, reboots and crashes happen, so I just rolled my eyes. But since then it's been completely dead. I couldn't turn it on, even after taking the battery out several times, can't put it into recovery or download modes, and it's been connected to the charger for about ten minutes now and still nothing.
I haven't flashed anything for ages, haven't done anything odd with the phone at all, I have no idea what could have provoked this. Please help, I can't imagine what I'd do if my phone was permanently dead.
Samsung Galaxy SII with MIUI weekly ROM (currently 2.4.27)
Things I have tried:
Long press power button to turn it on (obviously)
Same thing after taking the battery out for ages
Press Vol up + Home + Power to put it into recovery
Press Vol down + Home + Power to put it into download
Plug it into charge
Plug in data cable connected to computer
Take out battery for a while, then replace, plug data cable into computer (but not phone), hold volume buttons while plugging in phone (internet guy told me to)
Everything above shows absolutely nothing on screen. Charging heats it up a little.
Not really sure what happened, but I left my tablet alone for about 5 days. Had to plug it in to charge it back up obviously. The next day turned it on, and all I get is it vibrates once, than just vibrates infinitely screen is not turning on I think. I tried the reset button, recovery mode nothing happens just goes straight back to vibrating. It seems I can enter APX mode, since it vibrates once and than stops my computer sees it but cant find device software to install for it, and shows up on devices as "APX" unidentified.
I even popped it open, pulled the power connector for the board and backup battery let it sit for a day; plugged it back in and still same issue as before. I bought it 9 months ago in December only real issue before this, is that it froze a few times but went away on its on after a reset.

You can give this a shot...:fingers-crossed: you need to hold the power button + volume up for about 10 seconds. You will feel the first vibration and keep holding both buttons for another few seconds then you will feel the second vibration. After the second vibration, you need to release both buttons as the same time then wait for a few seconds after that. You can try to power it up and see if it works.. Please report back and good luck.. :fingers-crossed:

I'll try that, I just recently left on the blank apx mode, to let the battey die completely. Now Im charging it again to see if that worked if not i'll try your idea.
Hi guys !
My HTC One S died yesterday just before going to bed.
It was 10% battery, I used it for 10-15mn and it went down to 3% and then 1% and shut down just before I plug it to the wall charger.
I let it there for 5mn and tried to power it on but nothing happened. I noticed that the charging led was not even working.
I let it overnight charging and this morning, still nothing. I tried to enter bootloader with power+volume down, nothing happen
This morning, I tried :
- 2 hours usb charging, not detected by the computer, no led, won't start even in bootloader
- 2 hours wall charger charging. Still no led, won't start
Any idea on what to try ?

Ok, simulated battery pull.
hold the phone under bright light (sensor see's the light and allows to power on, something about a feature to prevent resetting while the phone is in your pocket). press power button, press and hold power button if that doesn't work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe it is locked up, and really has been charging. Press and hold power button for 10 seconds.
Some have had success pulling the sim card, and then pressing the power button. Then when it turns on reinserting sim card.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Factory Reset option: would erase phone storage though.
If you can’t turn HTC One S on or access settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the hardware buttons on HTC One S.
Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then press and hold the POWER button.
Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Others have switched to trying to charge it connected to USB port and have it suddenly come back to life after a while.
Thanks for the answer

Will try this one !
In fact it really looks like it's dead : no led, nothing happen when I let it charge (it's not even hot) and nothing happen when I push all the possible buttons combinations :crying:
Read my post. Try to do with linux first.

Yesterday I was watching a youTube video and my phone started restarting (crash?). The Google logo and ofcourse the unlock are showing (the device has been rooted a long time now), but it did not go beyond that. I then decided to hold the power button for a long time to manually restart the phone again myself, but after trying to restart my phone is not turning on anymore.
I already tried the standard things like holding the power button for a long time and in combination the with volume up and down buttons. When I plug in my phone it does make a sound like the device is connected to the laptop (most likely the adb drivers and ****.
Is there anything else I can try to get my phone up and running again? Also when in laptop or by adapter the phone does not show any sign of charging. (my phone was 75% full when the phone crashed).
Try holding Power and Vol down only during 10s.
If it doesn't work plug the phone to a charger and try again later.

I have tried that multiple times.
Do you have an early model by any chance? Launch maybe?
I bought mine at launch and it had a faulty power button. This also looks like a random reboot, because the power button is being "held" for a couple of seconds. I also hat a couple of times when I couldnt't turn on the device anymore - again, because the power button wasn't working correctly.

There is a possibillity. The nexus had problems with the power button a year ago. So I now RMA'd it,
