HTC ONE X Wont turn on, flashing home and back buttons

All of a suddon my htc one x wont turn on. When I plug it in I get a solid green charging light. When I hold power the home, back and recent apps buttons flash bright white, when I try recovery mode, power and vol down I get the same flashing home buttons. Any ideas, thanks.

press and hold power until the home, back and recent apps buttons flash bright white, I think 7 times? then they stop flashing and the screen goes black, let go of power and press and hold volume down until bootloader comes up.

Awesome
Wow. Thank you. I appreciate it and the fast response.

Why does this happen?

To be honest, I am not certain. Usually this occurs when the battery dies. I believe it's a bug of sorts.

It does that even when battery is at 60%.

I think you're the only one that happens to.

Yeah I've had it when my battery dies, but never other times.

Actually I'm not. I have seen tons of ppl with my same issue
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk

Tons of people? I've only seen you report it happening without the battery actually dying. I've seen other people report it, but only when their battery dies fully. Can you provide some links to other people reporting it happening without the battery dying?

I meant ten ppl..five of them are coworkers of mine

Ok but I haven't even seen five other people report it the way you have here on XDA. I haven't even seen one other person report it the way you have here on XDA. I've read every single thread in our forum.

My battery isn't dying fully. It does this even when phone is on 60-70% really isn't a big deal..jw if me hav ing to hold power for a while til soft keys blink will do any damage or just isn't good

Well..maybe our issues are different, but it is happening. Honestly..after a while, now led doesn't come on regardless of what recovery I'm using. Ugh. Lol.

I know what you're reporting. What I'm saying is you're the only one experiencing it in those conditions, you're the only one reporting it happening like that.

But one question...having to hold power down to boot up..is it bad? Just curious
Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk

Even ten isn't right. You're the one single person that has reported their phone behaving in this manner. Having to hold the power button down isn't bad for the phone, all it's doing is performing a hard reset.

Either way, its an exaggeration and almost certainly not true. People here often say its the "same problem" when its in fact not the exact same issue, just something similar.
As mentioned, various forms of the power management bug have been reported. But your exact conditions seem fairly unique.

Yes

Crazy Battery, can't figure out why.

So usually on a work day, my phone will sit in my car for 13 hours without being touched. By the end of the day when I go to bed, I'll be around 80% to 83% battery.
Today I noticed a couple hours after I got hoe that I was at 31%. For the record, this is a Maxx. I have two different wakelock detectors installed on my phone but I can't find anything that indicates what went haywire today. The Battery section in Settings just says it was "Android OS".
Here are some screenshots of the screens. Do any of you see anything I'm not? I have no idea what the culprit was.

Could point to poor cell service reception but it sounds like the phone was in the same place as other days.

Maybe you could try airplane mode if you notice it happening again ?

Yeah, same place it always sits at when I'm at work.

My battery life has been no where near as good as it was my first few days as well.

Reboot it. Something is stuck on.

Any way to turn off sense tutorial tips?

I'm rooted, and running Skyfall. Is there a way to turn off the constant nagging tips about full screen mode, and how to work the camera? Thanks.

Oh my god you are amazing! I have been trying to figure this out for so long! Thank you!

Configure and test the second screen - NO ROOT REQUIRED

First you'll need to install QuickShortcutMaker or other similar apps to enable making custom shortcuts. Then search "signboardtest", run it you'll see a page as shown in attached screenshot.
Here you can perform bunch of testings on the second screen, including posting various kinds of notifications (warning: do not test ProgressBar as notification type ?)
What's more important is you can modify the notification size and how long it sticks. Those are what I've found so far, hopefully we can dig something useful here and find a way to modify it the ways we want.

Great find ! Thanks for sharing!

this is how I got it

Did you happen to install anything else? I've searched for this (as I'm having an issue with my 2nd screen at the moment) and I don't have signboardtest as an option, even searched for signboardtest with Root Explorer.

Just looked in T-Mobile version. However I do not see it listed.
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk

Confirmed I found signboardtest as well using quick shortcut maker. On a Verizon v10

You can change all of that, but it doesn't actually stick.. Tried all them last week. Change the notification to 7 secs and then exit out, then test a real notification(not from sign test app) and count the seconds it stays on second screen, it will still be 3 secs..

Not on Tmo, I pulled it from the hk version.

Tmo doesn't have that, but there is a lgsignboard.apk and lots of other signboard files.
I don't know enough to dig into it but the option is in here somewhere

It's sticks for me. Finally makes notifications on second screen useful. Thanks, op.

So you're telling me that the notification stays legible for a full 7 secs? I just did it again and still goes off after 3. It may say 7 secs, but it's not actually staying on for that long, screen on or off.

Is there a way to push Tasker variables to the second screen?

Awesome!
This is Fantastic. Worked for me! VS 990.
Don't know how many times I went to click on a Text notification and right as i clicked it the notification disappeared and I opened one of my 'Quick Apps' ... sent a text to myself to verify that the notification displayed for 6 seconds...
WINNING!
Thank you!
... Also you can find this shortcut with the 'AnyCut' app.

Tried it with the stock messaging app and it did stay on longer, but haven't found any other notifications that stay on for the full duration.

I ported it from the hong kong version. It is it's own apk with odex and libs. It doesn't come on the Tmo version. It wasn't working for me before, but after a reboot the notification time stays to whatever I set it in now. I thought I was going to have to mod the app for it to work, but it is fine now.

There's an update for TMO phones

It added a "Horizon light", but still no AOD.

Wait...I only have the 8 with the damn sloped side screens..
So there's no AOD with the tmobile 8t.....yet?! Is ONEPLUS stuck in 2009 still?!

Horizon light has never worked from day one on any of their phones! Yes, you may get it to flash a notification for an email, or some other missed communication...but it only flashes ONE TIME (unless they've finally made it adjustable???) and unless you're looking directly at your screen when it flashes then you will miss it, so it is basically useless. I mean if your looking at your screen then chances are you're doing so in an effort to pick it up to turn on the screen for some reason anyway. SMH
