Hopefully this is not a beginning to the issues I had with my G4. Moisture warning on usb port and my G6 does not charge and vibrates and chirps every 2 sec like when you plug in only nothing is in the usb-c port and does not stop till it is rebooted. Brought it in to a sprint repair shop and they are going to replace it they can find no evidence of water damage. I am beginning to wonder if sticking with LG is a mistake
Sounds like you just got a dud, ive sold over 40+ in my store with 0 issues except one "device is corrupted and cannot be trusted" message that was fixed with a reboot and never reappeared.
I hope So

I have an AT&T HOX+ and basically it's dead, but I figured it was worthwhile asking for suggestions. My phone was rooted and running ViperXL, working normally. Then I dropped it, while it was plugged in. What I managed to do was mangle the micro USB port beyond usability, while the phone had 1% battery. At the time it seemed like the phone was otherwise totally fine, so I figured this wouldn't be an unreasonable fix.
I brought my phone into a local repair shop with good reviews and had them look at my phone. They said the USB port was a simple fix, 20$ part and they did fix it. Four days later I get a call from them saying we're really sorry, but we did the fix and the phone still doesn't work - it seems to be a problem with the logic board. I picked up the phone yesterday and basically confirmed what they said. The USB port is fixed but doesn't appear to serve much purpose.
Here are the symptoms: nothing visibly wrong with the phone or charging port, other than the fact that it won't boot. When plugged in, a small red LED blinks every ~1.5 seconds in the speaker grille. When the power button is held down, after about 5 seconds the three LEDs light up for 2 seconds then turn off. Nothing else happens.
Edit: I should add that the blinking LED continues when not plugged in. Plugging the phone in doesn't really appear to do anything.
The repair people are probably right and it's the logic board - which is pretty unhelpful. When I asked what they suggested, they said any repair is going to be very expensive and it might be worth getting a new phone. I've only had this phone for 4 months so I have another 20 months of happy contractual obligations. At this point I'm looking for any suggestions on where to get this phone repaired. I may have voided whatever warranty HTC offers by getting my phone repaired aftermarket but when I researched the warrenty, it didn't seem like it would cover this issue anyway. I haven't tried bringing the phone into an AT&T store yet. Thank you!
I don't know that I can give you a definitive answer, but I can say that the blinking red LED is (or can be) caused by the battery having no charge. If you ask me, I say that even though the USB port is fixed, it's not delivering any charge to the battery.
That seems pretty likely which means either the repair people didn't correctly put on the new part or by dropping it I broke something more complicated.
I guess my real question is more about repair / replacing the phone. Is there an official repair outlet for HTC that could repair it? At this point paying is inevitable but I'd rather not buy a new phone if possible, although the new nexus GS4 is tempting.
The blinking red light means the phone doesn't have enough power to even power up. I don't know about the other 3 led thing you talk about, but try to leave your phone charging for a couple of hours and then try to power it up.

It doesn't seem to be getting any charge at all when plugged in, so replacing the usb port must not have fixed the problem.
better to buy a brand new HTC unit
I suggest you charge it continuously for an hour and then try to switch it on. Same thing happened to my phone and this is what I did which worked!

Hi
I'll put my G5 on charge and it will start to fast charge like normal then after a few minutes stop and go to just charging, if I pull the cable out the phone and plug it back in, it will usually still not fast charge sometimes it does first time tho but normally I'll have to do that 3 or 4 times to get it to fast charge again and usually it then fast charges normally till the battery if fully charged.
I thought it was the cable as it was on it way out it had a internal break where it would stop charging or go to normal charging at times so ordered a replacement cable same make (choetech 6ft) I've been using for over a year now and a juicebitz 9ft one and there both doing the same and I even tried the original cable and that's doing it too so it's not the cable.
I've cleaned the usb port no change, I've factory reset no change, can't remember when this first started as I thought it was the cable but I think it could of been around the time of the last update but can't be sure on that could of easily been just before.
What to try next could it be a charger fault, a faulty bottom module/ usb port, battery fault or a fault with the phone itself?
Any help would be appreciated.
I have same issue with my phone after last update.
That's good know not good that your having the same issue I mean good to know it's not a hardware problem.
I've seen a couple of posts after I starting this thread in the v20i update thread from users with the same problem so it looks like it's a software issue I can stop stressing about it as there's nothing I can do about it.
I did a search before posting and must of missed it or used the wrong terms in my search.
I just hope they will fix that in next update (oreo)

So do I it's part of what I hate about updates they fix things but just as often break something else.
same here. its turning to normal after minutes and when you plug it again its fast charging for a short time. LG g5 is a headace. My disappointment.
I have the exact same issue with my H-850 I even went to the extent of sending the phone in for repairs under the warranty. They replaced the mainboard and the bottom module but the problem still persists, its either the battery or software, my money is on the software
Here's my issue:
While listening to music the phone suddenly died. I have done no modification to the phone and have had no issues leading up to the current problem.
The battery was fully charged 1 hour prior to it dying. I have changed out the battery with a different fully charged LG battery- still nothing.
I removed the SIM card, reinstalled it, removed and reinstalled the battery, checked my charger, performed the hard reset... nothing.
No lights, no vibrations, no recognition when connected to PC.
This is a T-mobile H901 model. There has been no damage from drops, or water.
I have no tech skills and will try anything if anybody has the patience to walk me through any possible resolution. I am an absolute noob, so please be patient with me if you're willing to help
I like this device, but I'm afraid its a gonner. Just seems weird to have it suddenly die.
It seems, more or less, a hardware issue similar to the infamous LG bootloop of death.
You can try putting your phone into a freezer for about 5 minutes (without battery!) to see if it wakes up... but it is only a temporary solution, just to save important data if required.
Mine died yesterday. This is the second LG to do this (previously the g4) I'm not buying another LG phone again. The freezer trick does work. My phone didn't last long enough to back anything up though
I do have face the same thing, and finally decided to hate LG devices and technology.
My device is LG v10 T-Mobile, the device could switched on, but no light, receives call but didn't respond due to the blacken screen.
I cost it on hard, but now I am walking alone and forced to meet people live instd of a single phone call; because of LG fake technology.
My LG V10 died all the way back in July I think, due to the bootloop bug. Now it refuses to even bootloop, nothing comes up on screen. When plugged into PC while holding power Qualcomm 9008 comes up, which gives me a start. I am using an LG-H900. So can't flash that boot.img that only uses 4 cores. However, I do have an SD Card (idk how that would help just lettin ya know). Any way I can fix this? Right now I use a OnePlus 3 instead.
*edit* was playing around for a bit, and plugged it into wall and it said charge more before turning on. It has been plugged into the wall for a bit and still says this, and tries to turn on every time its plugged in instead of charging. Any ideas?
Yes annoying feature on many newer phones,
They try to turn on automatically when they think they've got enough juice.
Even tough once they start booting the battery level plummets and the phone just stops and goes charging again and repeat the story.
I've got no idea if it can be turned off. i don't think so.
Send it to LG. They've extended the 1 year warranty to 27 months from purchase or 30 months from date of manufacture.
Dear Forumites,
I have considered all available options in my capacity to attempt to fix my device mentioned above to no success. I will mention all the things I have done below so as to better inform you. But before I do that, let me give you the background of how I got here.
My device fell into water some months ago (while trying to be an hero to resque a drowning little boy, LOL). I guess I should have been more patient but I guess I got carried away by a water test I saw of this device before I bought it done by some of these reviewers and thought, Ok maybe my device too will stand this. I ignorantly put the device into plug and I am guessing I compounded its problem. Initially, I saw the red charging light come on and stayed on while the device was making a kind of sound but after I plug it in power, the device showed some screen flash and then went off. Let me mention that three devices went into the water at the same time but this one was the only one I couldn't remove the battery so the other two are fine now.
Fast forward to few days later, I waited and allowed it to dry out more but when i plugged it into power, the red ligh started to flash without stopping. So this got me searching for solutions to fixing it. I tried:
Downloading all available flash tools
Putting it in EDL mode (I am constantly finding it in 9008 in COM Ports). And when it fails, I tried all the available methods to get it back to that mode again.
I downloaded the fastboot rom and tried to flash it using several flash tools and also various methods.
Then after so much time and effort, I found a thread that says I should just let the battery die itself and then check it later. I left the device for about 2 weeks. Then one day I plugged it in and then it came up charging. I allowed it to charge to 100% then I switched it on. I guess the mistake I made was not leaving it plugged in power while it was booting up again because suddenly it seems the battery power gave out and the device went blank again.
Since then, charging it never again worked. I have left the device for a few months now and still charging it never worked again. I even purchased an extra battery to replace the old one but nothing has worked. I have tried taking the device to a local repair centre where the motherboard was cleaned, heated and still nothing worked.
Till date, when I plug the device into my system, it still recognizes the device but flashing isn't working. I am at the point now where I am considering either getting a new motherboard or just thrashing the device. Been searching online to get a Kate board but it seems that is not available to buy as all i find is the motherboad for Kenzo.
Here is my request, CAN I REPLACE THE KATE BOARD WITH THAT OF KENZO. Some sellers are telling me it will fit inside the panel but it seems they are just saying that to get my money. All the othe parts are working fine along with the extra battery and several tempered glass and cases.
Pls help me with the above so I can decide how to proceed. Thank you in advance. Attached is the image of my motherboard.

Buy new phone instead. Kenzo and kate had no good value. Replacing parts of old phone is of no worth.
Better get rn7 or rn7 pro.
