The Galaxy tab usually can not be charged via USB ports due to too low voltage.
Try plugging your GT into the outlet and charging it.
(and yes no charging status lights are very annoying)
Had the same
I had the same problem about a week ago. We had storm and the power went out. My Tab somehow list voltage and went into deep sleep mode. So in the morning when I went to trun it on, it woulndt and I had to connect it to my PC to make it wake up.

Did you try to hold the power button longer then 10 seconds?
fixed (temporary??)
I was able to get it to work again...i visited the samsung website and it told me to charge it for one hour...and then unplug it and then hold the power for 15 seconds...but the same thing happened again after a couple hours of using...the same process works but i think i might send it in to samsung to fix
Hey, my GT10.1 is also behaving the same way. I am not sure what happened but now no matter which wall charger I use, it will not charge my GT10.1.
Even though it does not show the charging indication on the screen, I let it charge overnight. Now I try to turn it on with holding the power button down for like 30 seconds to 1 minute.. still no luck.
It seems like it has no battery and the charger would not charge.
What do I do now.. is there a way to force it into boot or bootloader or whatever?
Thanks!
Try pushing your thumb on the screen and holding power button for like 10-15 seconds. Happened twice to me and hasn't happened again.

I also have exactly the same problem. Have you got any solution? I tried all combinations. I heard this problem relates to the firmware???? Really hope it is not the hardware. Been stayed blank for 3 days now. HELP.......

Sigh, I guess the only solution is to send it to a samsung service center...
I got my UPS labels done, but before doing so, I would like to go back to Bestbuy (where I got my tablet) and see if I can just get a brand new replacement since I bought just about 2 months ago.

Hi all,
I opened my brand new SGS2, put in the battery and plugged in the charger to the phone and started charging. First i was confused (coming from a nokia) because there was no indication of charging.
The indication appeared some 10 minutes later in the form of a flashing battery icon that disappeared after some time.
Now it has been a couple of hours and the battery icon is gone and nothing happens when i press the power button - i.e my brand new Samsung Galaxy S2 is not even starting!!
Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to fix it? Does it just need a good long charge? Frankly, im quite terrified after having sunk in a lot of money for this phone.
(i hope my phone (or battery) is not a lemon and i'm just being a mega-noob )
Please, please, please help!!!
Thanks in advance
There're surely something not working correctly.
Don't know if it's the phone itself, the battery or the charger.
Try removing the battery and putting it back again and check it is placed correctly as well as the cable, charger and wall plug.
Normally the big battery icon should appear few seconds after you plug the phone into the charger.

removed the battery thrice and tried - nothing happened. Battery, charger and wall-plug - everything proper.
I did see the icon, but now its gone and the phone is not starting.
My only hope is to keep it on charge overnight and hope for a miracle by tomorrow :|
Guess will take the phone to the service center tomorrow. Nightmare this is
Thanks anyways, man

Just wondering. Did you long press the power button when trying to boot the phone? A quick tap on the power button won't boot it. You have to hold it for just a second or two to register.

This. When I got mine I just gave the power button a quick press as this worked fine on my Nexus One, but the S2 seems to need a long press to boot.
may be a software probs !!! try flashing with anyother ROm !
To see the battery charging icon you should press home button on the bottom.
To power on you should press power button on the right for about 3 seconds.

Try taking charger out. Then hold power till you see logo. Only a few seconds.

i did it for 3 seconds, then 5 seconds and 10 seconds too. Nothing. Yesterday it was showing the flashing battery icon for quite some time. I went to sleep thinking, finally it is charging but then when i woke up it is dead.
I read somewhere that the battery charging icon is actually discharging the phone?
Dont fiddle with it anymore. Just exchange it from where you bought it.
Yeah, with charger plugged mine usually decides it likes to stay asleep then powering up.
And w/o anything attached I usually have to "beg" (=hold power button) for like 10 to 15 seconds sometimes until I see the bootsplashlogo.
Nothing that's bothering me, one just have to know it takes a while.

Hi Everyone,
About 20 mins ago, my Touchpad running CM7 Alpha 2 suddenley stopped responding (the touchscreen that is), so i held down the power button to turn it off.
However, it wont turn back on! I have tried Home + Power + Vol Up for more than 30 seconds about 3 times and nothing. I am charging atm and nothing on screen. I have also tried holding the power button for about 10 seconds. Nothing!
Any suggestions?

Home + Power button for around 20 seconds should bring it back to life.

Sounds like your moboot has some problems when you forced shutdown it, try go to the webos recovery statue (the statue when you install CM7 into your TP), connect TP to your PC and reinstall moboot, or the whole CM7 if that doesn't work.
Good luck

Ok follow-up on this - I can't even get the TP to be recognized by my computer. What now?
How long did you leave it plugged in i had to leave mine plugged in for a couple of hours into the wall outlet before it would show the batter charging icon then turned on shortly after that

hi，when your tp is in the off statue，try holding both the power and the volume up botton， and then you can see a usb icon on your screen, that is the webos recovery mode.

When you are in the webos recovery statue, the one I said in the last post (there is a usb icon on the screen), you can connect it to the computer, and neglect windows' response as it cannot recognize it, because it is actually a false warning. Then try following the steps for installing CM7.
had the same problem yesterday. just held power+home til it said to release the buttons.(previously i released as soon as the hp globe came up and it turned back off) hope this helps
When all else fails try this:
Hold power, Volume Down, and Home until the HP logo appears. May take up to 30 seconds or longer. Release all three buttons and the Touchpad should then boot. Worked for me the one and only time I've had to use it.
I charged Touchpad's battery full and turned it off about a month ago. Now I tried to turn it back on, nothing happens.
I plugged in usb charger, button under display started blinking. After 10mins, tried to turn it on, display turned on and it said attach own charger to get best results... blaablaa.. and then turned back off
Now it has been on own charger over an hour, in the beginning button blinked again for a while. Now it's all black and nothing happens. Tried power, pwr+front btn, pwr+vol up, pwr+front btn+vol down. Nothing.
Maybe I just haven't given enough light treatment?? I'm getting worried..
edit: overnight at charger, no change... battery dead? This sucks.

Bummer. I don't think it's good to let a Li-Ion battery fully discharge. I've had bluetooth headsets and older spare laptop batteries die because they were sitting in a drawer for months. It sounds like this is what may have happened to your Touchpad. You should have left it plugged in somewhere!

Yeah, that's what seems to have happened. I just dont digest the idea that it died in 3 to 4 weeks. In standby, yes, but in off state.. if this happened after months, but we are talking only few weeks.
Any idea where to get a spare battery? Ebay show zero results.
Swyped from sgs2
It isn't likely its the battery, probably some kind of internal failure, but even if the battery is stone cold dead you should still be able to plug it in and run it that way.
You can change another microusb cable to re-charge again, b'cas the original cable quality is not good. Led blinking shows that battery is in low capacity, TP will bootup after charging to minimum battery voltage.
HP Back in life..
Got it working...
I let it be a week without any trying. Then plugged it's own charger on and the home started blinking again and after a while battery image came up! So it was in some sort of hang situation and needed to drain the battery again.
I did that also first time but at that time it just stopped blinking home and did nothing after that.
Now few hours later it's turned on and charging, 45%..

Thanks for reporting back on your situation!
Last night I was using my phone and turned it on sleep due to having <10% battery life left. I tried turning it back on am hour and a half later and it didn't so assumed it drained, so I threw it in the charger but the battery didn't turn on. I left it in the charger over night. I woke up and tried turning it on but it still didn't budge. I tried letting it charge through both my macbook, my chromebook, several different cables and outlets, all for around 10 minutes each. My phone still won't turn on.. Nothing happens when I try to boot into CWM (volume rocker and power button hold method) I now think it may be bricked and I need to get it back to a working condition soon...
My phone is the AT&T SGSII (i777) running MIUI 2.3.7 1.12.30 (newest version) under the Siyah 2.6.3 (also newest version)
Is there any way I can fix this?? I saw somethings about these 'jigs' but is there a way fix it without using a jig and only using a computer? Can someone tell me what could possibly be wrong?? Please help me!!
*PS my macbook can dualboot into windows 7, otherwise my phone wouldn't be rooted
Hmm, LPM might be broken in MIUI.
Try this, I saw one person indicate that it worked:
Enter download mode by holding VolUp + VolDn when inserting a USB cable from a PC.
DO NOT try to flash anything - just let it sit there for 5-10 minutes!
After that, hold Power for 10-15 seconds until the device resets.
Again, DO NOT try to flash anything!
The other option is to find a standalone charger.
And next time - if it's at 10%, put it on a charger!

All the SGS2 i777 phones come with a plugin wall charger, why not give that a try.......
If you cannot find the charger, you can buy one for less than 3 bucks including shipping on Amazon.com

Good Luck!
Something similar happened to me, where the battery drained so much that the phone wouldn't charge. When I plugged it into a computer/outlet, it just power cycled because as soon as you plug it in, the screen turns on (pretty stupid actually) and full brightness shows your battery "charging". Due to the phone not being able to directly pull power from the outlet (from what I can understand, if I plug in a charger and take the battery out, the phone shuts off) it can't charge fast enough, due to the screen and soft keys taking up the charge. I may be wrong, but this is what I think is happening.
Only way I could solve this was to plug the battery into my spare battery charger which came with my two spare batteries.
The thing is I can't put it into download mode or even recovery. Whenever I hold the volume buttons together when I plug it into my computer to access download mode, nothing happens and the screen remains blank and off. When I try doing the same thing and also hold the power button also to access Recovery mode, nothing happens, and the screen still is off. Every once in awhile when I try turning on the phone (which is plugged into an outlet) the 'battery charging' screen pops up for a split second and turns off. I have plugged it into Several different wall chargers (all that are Micro USB including the one the phone came with) along with several different Micro USB to USB cables to try to charge in the computer. It's definitely not the chargers nor the cables because they work with other devices. I think my phone is bricked... DX
why don't you buy another battery and see if that works if it doesn't just bring back the battery.....good luck

If the screen EVER turns on it's not bricked.
I suggest leaving it plugged in to a factory wall charger (not USB) overnight.
Worst case you may need a standalone charger to put some "juice" into the battery. I know Staples sells a universal one made by Lenmar, but it's really overpriced ($50!!!!)
I use this and i love it. It comes with an extra samsung battery too.

If anything, head to an AT&T store and pop the battery out of their test phone and put it into yours. See what happens, sounds like there's an issue with the charger or battery.

Yup ran into that issue a couple months ago and just put it into download mode to charge. easy fix
Edit. I used a jig though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Thanks for all the help! I ended up going to the at&t store and they told me the battery was defective. The guy was super nice and even though he saw my phone was rooted and had a custom rom he just told me that I probably should unroot only for the warranty but gave me a new battery for free anyway and was very nice about it. I also bought a jig just incase anything goes wrong again. But seriously, thanks to all of you!!
So my current phone stopped working so i was going to switch back to my galaxy s2 that has been sitting unused for about 3 months. When i tried to charged it the device will not turn on. The phone heats up when it sits on the charger for sometime. Also if i hook it up to my computer without the battery and hold the power and up/down button i can get to the warning screen about custom os to put it into downloading mode but when I press up to continue the screen just goes black and nothing happen if i press down to restart nothing happens it just goes black and i can hold the power and up/down to get back to the warning screen. The phone was rooted with iscrewd a long time ago before i when to a different phone. I have a usb jig but i cant even get to the warning screen with the battery in. Any thoughts??
You don't say, but I assume the phone was working normally when it was put on the shelf? If you can put your hands on a good I777 battery that is at least partially charged or better yet fully charged, put that in the phone and see if it will boot.
Sitting for three months will completely drain the battery, and this phone is somewhat sensitive to that. At least I have seen quite a number of reports of full discharge of the battery giving the same symptoms of not charging and getting warm.
I don't know what would account for you not being able to go beyond the warning screen with the battery out, especially if the phone was working normally before. The correct button configuration is the volume down button only, when the battery is out. I think the other buttons don't intefere though. Might try with just the vol - being held down and see what happens.
I vaguely remember someone having a problem similar to this, and I think he fixed it by getting the phone into download mode, putting the battery in, and leaving it in download mode to charge the battery. I think after a while he was able to boot the phone and let it finish charging while the phone was on.
This happened to me before. I just bought a new battery on Amazon and it worked just fine.

Hey guys, I just did an update last night, the update was around 330mb, then I drained my phone completely, charged it, then fell asleep, when i woke up, I removed the charger, and the phone won't turn on. Tried pressing all 4 buttons, tried going to recovery, safe mode, and every other combination of buttons, but the phone won't turn on or even go to the samsung logo or blink or anything. Even if I connect it to the laptop, nothing happens. Screen is off, but even when it is not attached to anything, the phone is hot. Which means it is technically on? I'm thinking of letting it drain til it runs out of battery then recharge it?
Anyone? I tried all combinations, nothing makes it work, not even make the led blink, no vibration. Also, i tried charging it for a few hours, it just gets warm but no charging icon or anything.

I'll try later. I still don't have odin. But that would probably be my last resort. I don't want to lose all my stuff.
Bu the way, my phone is all stock, no root.
OK so I kept the phone charging and now I tried turning it on, nothing, but the blue LED came on.
Now the blue light is off again.
Trya computer to see if it is recognized. If so, just copy your entire folder from your phone, try to Odin, then if successful copy over your files

Tried that. It doesn't work. Oh and now that i tried charging with a wireless charger and still same thing, i guess i can safely conclude it's not the port. Maybe i need to try a charger with higher amps to try and wake it up?
Is it possible that the update does not allow the use of chargers that or not originally for the unit? And i used a samsung slow charger that night after the update, so the whole night the phone tried blocking the current and ended up frying the diode/resistor? Or maybe since i drained it to 0% it went to deep deep sleep?

I think it didn't show anything when i did. I will check again later.
Is it possible that after the update, when i charged it didn't accept the charger so the battery got drained fully and now it can't charge? A technician said the battery needs to be "shocked" but they don't have the equipment to take off the back to get to the battery. Any thoughts on that?
Would it help if i charge it using a 3.4A charger for a few hours? Maybe that will wake up the battery? Technicians say that because it got to 0% it might have been fully drained and unable to recharge, what they usually do is direct charge a battery but in the case of the s6 edge it's not that easy to do since you have to take it apart...

Is it possible that after the update, when i charged it didn't accept the charger so the battery got drained fully and now it can't charge? A technician said the battery needs to be "shocked" but they don't have the equipment to take off the back to get to the battery. Any thoughts on that?

This is possible, I had the same issue with an iPhone and I had to open the case and charge it externally
Anyone have any other suggestions? I would probably bring it to the service center on monday, but I think if i have it serviced, they will just forward it to another city since I don't think they do repairs in mine.

Official samsung charger should be enough to get it charging and working. Service centre sounds best option
