I plugged my phone in to charge the other night before I went to bed. When I woke up phone was off and wouldnt turn back on. I noticed when plugged in to the charger it will get very hot. I wasnt having any problems before this. Any ideas?
How long did you hold the power button?
About a minute
It is possible your phone isn't off but locked up. This happened to me once. Did you try force rebooting it by holding in all the buttons for a few seconds?

My Transformer was working fine, battery fell below 9% so I put it to sleep and plugged it in...
Now the device will not turn on, back of unit is getting warm?
Well, the warmth will be the battery charging. No issue there.
See one of the half dozen threads about not turning back on.
It came back to life, after holding the power button still seemed dead, then i plugged in a HDMI cable and it turned on.
My power button is finicky... every thing else seems perfect...

Mine does this. You have to power off completely. To do that, you must hold the power button for more than 10 seconds to turn it off. Wait a bit, then power it back on by holding the power for 5 seconds.
I've searched around and people say it's the lock screen that causes the screen to blank. But I don't think that was it, I disabled it and it still does it.
Next someone says it has something to do with WiFi, I don't think this is right also because it has happened at times when I had the wifi OFF.

Are you saying before charging you power it off completely or always?

No I'm saying to do that when your screen is blank and can't turn on
Have any of you woke up to find that you phone is on the charger and off?
My alarm didnt wake me up this morning because my phone was just off, or not responding. Had to hold the pwoer button down for awhile to get it to turn on.
I had that problem once in the first couple days after I had the phone but since then it hasn't happened again. I have no idea why it happened.
If it happened again I was going to exchange it but it hasn't been an issue.
UK Nexus 5, recently OTA'd to 4.4.3, totally stock.
Forgot to put the phone on charge last night, found it dead this morning. Put it on charge for a bit, had to take it off charge to use it only for it to die shortly later. Plugged a usb cable in to charge, phone would loop and not boot properly. It would get to either the Google logo or the Nexus animation. Held vol- and the power button but couldn;t select 'Power Off' in time from the boot menu as it would just reboot itself.
Got home this evening, plugged in the proper charger. It looped for a while, but now I've got it to boot where I could choose to Power Off. It's now on charge where it started booting/looping again once, but is now sat charging properly. I'm not sure if all this weirdness is caused by the battery being drained completely. I'm suspicious of the power button. I banged the phone around the button in case it was stuck and blew around the edges just before it started stopping looping.
Any insight welcome.
Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]it's not the power button. I have had this happen to, I thought it was a bug in TWRP, it usually only happens when the battery is low, or wait a minute no it doesn't happen when the battery is low for me it happens when the phone gets warm because I've been flashing something over and over in TWRP.usually I leave it in TWRP for a little bit then when I hit power of it actually stays off as long as I'm not charging it. I am dictating this using voice to text hence the mistakes and forgiveness backspace delete backspace

Something I actually learned from paintball, a low battery makes technology go nuts. My Nexus 5 bootlooped with a low battery. It also said it stopped charging and basically acted like an overdramatic child with no cookies. After an hour on charge everything was good to go.
Okay this is my story. First i installed Purekat ROM wich didn't work so i had to combine it together with Katik for missing apps. Then it worked great for a week. When i was out i left my phone on a table, it was on 35% battery. 10 minutes later i checked my phone and it was dead, i tried to turn it on and it did, but it showed that battery was low on 0% it shut down. When i got home i tried to turn it on but it didn't work, when i plug it in a charger nothing happens, i try to turn it on while it's on a charger and it just vibrates, sometimes when i turn it on a charger it just flashes white. Can anyone help me here?

Can your phone boot to recovery/download mode by pressing power button+volume up/down button?
I have a stock phone HTC One (M8) that has never been rooted. Today I pulled my phone out of my pocket and it wouldn't turn on. I've tried:
pressing the power button along with the volume up
Pressing power and volume down
Pressing power and volume up and down
I took it to the Verizon store and they said they would have to ship a refurb out to me. I wanted to check this forum to see if anyone has ideas before I get a refurb.
Thanks in advance!
Simular situation - will not power up or hold charge
Im S-off and unlocked .... I downloaded the new RUU 4.4.4 and everything was fine. the next day the battery drained completely and I plugged the charging cord in. I got the battery icon in the center of the screen and 0% life. The orange light is blinking, but the battery level doesn't change. I cannot get it to power up or get into the bootloader. Once I unplug the power cable the unit doesn't power on. if the keep the unit plugged In for a power source I'm still unable to boot. I'm totally out off ideas ... can I get someone to respond to help me out in this desperate time.

Can you try a different charger and cable? The blinking orange light is what they do when they are completely dead. Starts out blinking and wont go solid until enough charge is present to actually boot the phone.
I just upgraded to 4.4.4 as well maybe 3-4 days ago. I had been able to charge the phone a couple of times without issue right up until it wouldn't turn on yesterday.
I left the phone off the charger overnight and tried rebooting again this morning, and nothing.

Same here .. Been on the charging cord for a few days without any change in battery %.
Dodat ... Is there anyway to revive the M8 to accept the charge?

Try this:
Battery is fully charged, but the device does not turn on
Plug device into the provided HTC wall charger that came with the device.
Press and hold the Power, Volume up and Volume down keys for 1 - 2 full minutes. The battery should re-calibrate and the device will then turn on.
or
Battery shows less than 0% charge level
Plug device into the provided HTC wall charger that came with the device.
Charge the device until the LED indicator glows solid red.
Attempt to power the device on as usual. If it will not power on, press and hold the Power and Volume up keys for 10 seconds while still on the charger.
I tried this just now, nothing.
When I hook up the charger, I don't get any lights to indicate that the phone is charging.
It's like the phone is bricked, but I haven't messed with any ROMs at all. I'm completely stock and locked.

I am unlocked but am having the same problem. I've had the phone since almost launch day and it's been fine until now.....all of a sudden it won't charge. I've tried many different cables and chargers that I know work, but nothing gives.
Were you able to figure anything out? Really don't want to have to get a refurb as I don't think I'll be able to get it rooted/unlocked anymore.
edit: After letting it "charge" for about an hour I was able to turn the phone back on. It said the battery was at 30% but was draining like 2% every 15-20 seconds. Looking at the settings it said the battery state was unkown (where it usually says not charging or charging). Something is definitely doing on here, but I have no idea what. I tried rebooting to recovery from the ROM but it just shut off. Now it's doing the same thing again (0%, won't turn on). Ugh!
