HTC One Mini Troubleshooting

No matter what you do, you can't get your phone to turn on.

Make sure that your phone charger is plugged into a working outlet. Then, plug your phone in and try turning it back on after waiting 5 minutes.

The problem may be the phone charger, not the actual phone. Use a different charger that is known to work.

It may appear as if there is something wrong with your HTC One Mini because your display is no longer working and needs to be replaced. You could figure out if this were the case by turning the volume up on your phone and having someone call you. If it rings, then it is not an issue with your phone, but with the display being too dim. You can replace your display by following the instructions found here: HTC One Mini LCD Display Replacement.

You are having trouble getting your battery to hold a charge or it simply will not charge at all.

If you notice that your HTC One Mini takes an especially long time to charge (or it will not charge at all), this may be due to dirt or other particles lodged in the port of your phone. This would prevent your charger from having good enough contact with the port to charge at a regular pace. Carefully clean it out without the use of water if this is the case.

The problem may be the phone charger, not the actual phone. Use a different charger that is known to work.

If all else fails, perhaps it is time for a new battery. You can find instructions on how to do this here: HTC One Mini Battery Replacement.

During the battery replacement, the internal battery connector of the new battery is plugged into the motherboard. The problem may be that the connector is not fully inserted. This can be solved by pressing down on the battery connector and making sure it is fully inserted.

The phone is taking long periods of time for basic tasks or freezing occasionally.

If your phone is performing slowly and freezing up at times, it may be due to your RAM storage being nearly full. This can be resolved by performing regular memory maintenance which includes restarting your phone once a day, keeping your apps updated, and closing out of all screens that you are no longer using.

It is normal for any phone to take some time to open apps, send text messages, or browse the internet. Other factors such as the network reception your phone is receiving can play into how responsive it is being as well. Make sure that your cellular data and Wi-Fi are both turned on in your phone's settings to ensure maximum cellular reception and speed.

Make sure that your software is up-to-date. There could also be software problems with third-party applications; if your phone is especially slow every time you have open/are using a particular application, then it may be not be a problem with your phone. Re-installation of the application may be necessary if restarting your phone does not solve the issue.

If your phone's screen is extremely dim or does not light up whatsoever, it may be time to replace the display.

Check and see that the brightness level (found in your phone's settings) is not turned down too far.
