Got my One X in the post today, plugged it in, been on charge for atleast an hour and a half but it's still dead

No signs of life, no charge light, can't turn on, can't enter bootloader

Anyone experience this?

Also the phone is stone cold, if the battery was charging I would expect it to get warm...

What cable / charger are you using ? can you try a different charger ? can you confirm the charger is ok on another device?

Its probably dead, replace it.

Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Yeh looks that way so that means no new phone for a week as I have to wait for them to collect it then send me a new one, can't just take it to a store which is stupid :mad:

Checked the pogo pins with a volt meter and it's reading 5v no problem so power is getting to the phone it just seems dead. No battery life and it won't turn on :(

Wait are you using a dock or micro USB cable to charge?

When I got a replacement HOX from carphone warehouse that was dead too, but I left it plugged in for a few hours and it came to life.

If the battery has no charge at all it may seem like a fault.

Mine did the same thing when it was fresh out the box. I just left it on sharge for a couple of hours and the charge light then lit and it powered up. The battery was just very flat on arrival.

Did your battery warm up though? This ones cold to the touch

I think it's dead so already called for a replacement but gotta wait for it

In the meantime I will leave it to charge overnight but I'm not hopeful at all, be better if we could access the battery instead of HTC going all apple on us

As I got my hox, it was fully discharged too, and it took ca. 30 minutes to bring it back to life...

When I first got mine was at 15% battery, after 24hrs charging (original charger, laptop, Inc s charger...) nothing changed.

Ended up with a replacement but took optus Australia 3 weeks to replace it.

Even if it does not light right up, the battery should get warmer when charging. Like advised, try a different cable, if that does not work either, then there probably is no simple solution that you can solve on your own.
