Any ideas?
I was in TWRP at the main menu, instead of clicking power off, I pulled the battery to replace the sd card with another. Now it will not power up, when I plug it in..no red light?
Thanks in advance...Jim

See if you have any luck trying to boot without an sd card in there. Also, try holding down on the power button for at least ten seconds

Neither helped...
have no sd card in it now
holding power button for 20 seconds doesn't do anything.
Let it charge for about 10-20 minutes then try again

This happened to me about a week ago. Charging it was what fixed it.
If charge it doesn't fix go to a sprint store and let them charged the battery the did the trick for.my EVO 4G once the happened, for.some reason the battery seems dead when is nor really dead
MGS on my iPad
Maybe check the battery connectors dood. I know some htc models have problems with those.
Coz i just saw it in 3D with the Shooter!
mines not powering up either.. Never turned it off, woke up this morning & it was off. Not powering up. been on charger all night
happens all the time to me. i know its a flaw, but ive learned to NEVER let my battery go all the way dead. If i see it get around 5-10% ill just put in on airplane mode til i can get to a charger. Also if you battery is very low, turning it off or pulling the battery will cause it to get an attidude and not turn back on for 15-20 min
Yeah, I have been having lots of "attitude" from my battery or power button or on/off code or whatever is making these things not want to power on reliably.... Not to mention the random charge-light-on-wont-turn-on antics. Has been happening more and more frequently and nothing i do works reliably so I just try them all until one works.
I can't have this. This morning I woke up to a locked phone, screen off, green light on, won't turn on.... And totally dead battery while plugged in? Good thing my nook is so reliable as an alarm clock or I might have been in deep **** at work.
It's not the rom or kernel... I've tested everything. I think it's deeper than that. I might not be able to wait for the nexus-prime.... Sgs2 might have to do.

I've seen a lot of these posts. I usually never let mine get in the amber even but I recently flashed viper rom so i wanted to do a battery calibration...meaning..reset stats from full charge..then use it till it dies. After reading these posts I realized mine hadnt died on me any yet. After 16 hours of heavy abuse (12 hours of normal music streaming, calls, text, web surfing etc...and 4 hours of just playing youtube video's with all radio's on trying to kill the damn thing) it finally croaked. Worked just fine though.
Maybe something to do with certain shipments. I've seen a lot of posts on htis but no one ever puts out a batch number or anything. Perhaps all the ones having issues came from a similar batch...and have some designation of affiliation with said batch. Just a though..if we could discover some trend in this...perhaps they'd consider acknowledging it and helping users with issues...or at least help new comers to the thread avoid particular troublesome ones.

i think it has something to do with the non HTC s-off method. But im right with you. As soon as Sprint releases the s2 this 3D is going straight to ebay. I love it, but the signal weakness and power problems are MAJOR things that I cant take much longer

It did this before I did s-off.... Admittedly not as much, but it also hadn't done it any more afterwards.... Until a week or so ago, and it just seems to be getting worse. I have an unmodified eng hboot and radio, I doubt that there are remnants of revolutionary that would get progressively worse over time....but I have no idea honestly.

Agreed. I stopped into my local radio Shack two days before release to play with their demo unit.... Turned on... Played with 3D... Turned off... Never came back on again, ever. Tried everything.

AWFUL signal strength. actually, worse Ive ever had on a phone.
my EVO never came back. I was at 60% batt life when I put on charge last night & was dead ass hell this morning.. no life at at.. Sprint tech took it apart it said the phone apears like new, just lifeless. swapped battery with 3 others, no good. So I figured it would be a long shot but I took it back to the store I got it from 36 days ago.. & Explained what happen.. Swapped me out with another one right then & there!..
BTW this is my 5th NEW Evo3D. thats sad...

During the night, my phone got soo hot, I could not even touch it. It was charging while this happened and I think it happened because the phone went under the pillow and did not have proper ventilation. When I noticed I unplugged the charger and took out the battery. After it cooled I tried turning on the phone, it initially went to the charging icon then turned off and I can't get it to turn.on. CAN ANYONE HELP??
I wouldn't mind going to ATT and getting another one but its rooted. Do you think I would be ok to return it with out them finding out? I can't get to recovery mode to flash to stock.
I tried searching for the answer..couldn't find one, most people were able to turn theirs on.
Plug in your usb cable to your computer and hold the volume buttons (aka get into download mode), leave your phone on there for a couple hours to charge and then proceed to boot normally. Hopefully this works for you, if not, buy a new battery from Amazon (needs NFC, preferably Samsung OEM). I would suggest getting this http://www.amazon.com/Samsung--CGPK...UEE0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327948609&sr=8-1 so you will be able to charge your other battery if you are not able to charge it through download mode.(includes an extra battery too)
Hey thanks for the advice, I'll try this when I get home...say hypothetically it doesn't work...and it can't be.saved.and turned on...could the warranty department tell if I have.voided my warranty by rooting it?
If you tripped the flash counter, possibly, but I've read that most stores don't check it anyways and just get you a replacement.

You know how people always say that the other side of the pillow is colder? Well since it's winter, people want the other side Warner and use their phones to warm it up.

I was thinking the same thing. I thought it was the same thread, then I thought the guy just copied and pasted the other guy.
On topic... just let the phone cool down, and then see if it works. If it does, good. If not, try ATT and they should accept it. They can't find out you rooted it if the phone doesnt work.
Off topic- a friend of mine took the shell of an iPod touch And put quarters in it for weight, and returned it.
You need to wait a while when you charge the phone before booting it up, the phone needs some time to get enough power to turn itself on without turning off immediately.
after the battery cools down, it should still work, hopefully you won't need a new battery

I can tell you why Mr. Smarty Pants.
Back in the days before smartphone existed they phones did not get this hot. So, when an unsuspecting customer gets a new dual core heating pad they have no clue that they generate this much heat thus using their past charging habits ala under a pillow.

Phone placed under pillow is understandable but phone is under pillow while charging is just odd. You run a power cord under the pillow too?
I think the main question is why is his device getting that hot while charging? Will putting it under a pillow really cause it to heat up that much? Also doesn't the phone have a thermometer in it and auto shut down when it gets too hot?

Now that's messed up!!
A couple years ago when plasma tv's were all the rage, there was a story in the news about a guy that was going around electronic's stores, buying tv's and returning them, but he would have replaced the TV with an oven door!
It locked up once and I restarted it.
Locked up again after a few minutes, shut itself down and no matter what I do, I can't get it to restart.
Kind of a suck way to start the day.
Just this afternoon picked up my shiny new replacement from Best Buy...totally new shipment which had just came in. I added no apps and 15 minutes later the first random reboot. It rebootted7 times in two hours and then just t turned itself off and won't come back to life.
No...the battery isn't dead.
Plug it into any charger and the charging light doesn't come on.
Seriously....this is frustrating.
maybe its your battery
let it charge for a bit with the device off
did you unlock the boot loader
can u flash roms?
can u even get to the bootloader?
Phone is fully charged. It was working fine during a call and when I hung up the call, the screen locked up then quickly blinked twice and that was that.
I tried pushing the power switch for almost two minutes and noting happened.
Better now than when I am traveling for work I suppose.
Take it back before the grace period. Lolz?
My tpu case seems to be making the power button stick causing reboots. If you have a case, take it off and I would also remove the shiny top back cover and try again. If that doesn't work, call for replacement.

If you take the shiny back cover off you maybe removing something important. Look on the inside surface of the cover and you will see copper contact points. Is this the NFC antenna. I'm ignorant to how it works, just speculating.

Well.....it sprang back to life all by itself sitting on my desk at work this morning (it is sitting there waiting for BB to call me and tell me they have a new replacement). It simply powered up, booted and came to life sitting there.
It now reboots a couple of times an hour just sitting there and at times actually turns Mobile Networks OFF all by itself.
Perhaps it is possessed?

It must be you. I think you need Jesus in your life.
Yeah.....maybe that's my problem. My heart sunk with the first lockup and reboot. I said some rather ugly stuff to my phone in the car.
BB stated they had taken back two out of the 7 preorders and when I asked for what reason, he said he wasn't sure.
Tomorrow I will exchange it one more time at a BB 100 miles away from the first one since we are away this weekend and they are already holding it for me. Maybe a change of venue will help
Sounds like some serious bad luck. I haven't heard of anyone's dying until you. I hope the different BBY return will do better for you man...

Speak for yourself, troll.
I had the phone on and in my hand when it just flickered off. I was in a 3d game but had only been running it for a couple minutes. The battery was reading about 90% before I fired up the game and it was plugged in to a factory samsung charger at the time. The game sort of stuttered a second or so before it shut down, then blank screen and it looked dead. It was slightly warm at the time, but nothing near overheating.
I held down the power button, nothing.
Tried power/volume combinations with no result.
Pried it out of the otterbox case it has been in since I got it and pulled the battery and put it back in, still nothing.
Pulled MicroSD and sim card.
Tried both volumes and plugging it in to USB with and without a battery, nada.
Left it alone and researched online for a bit, battery back in and nothing.
Plugged into a different charger and still nothing.
Seems no matter what I try, no response at all.
Both the phone and battery are cooled off at this point.
Could this be dead battery? Am I going about trying to force it to at least light up without a battery correctly?
At this point I'm at a loss. I can check the local AT&T store and see if they can at least let me test a different battery.
Last night I did flash the latest SHOstock 5.4 ROM, up from his 5.2. The phone ran fine afterward and I shut it down once since the flash without issues. This phone has been rock solid since day one, never dropped, no water damage, always in a case, pristine condition physically. Nothing to cause any trauma. Never even overclocked, but did have it running .25v undervolted at all speeds for a while.
I bought this last November, so it is less than a year old. Insurance is being paid but it is also within one year of purchase. So warranty should still be in effect? However, if it is this dead I can't flash it back to stock for warranty return, so what are my options there? Call it in as a warranty claim and hope for the best?
Edit: just tested the battery with a voltmeter. It is reading 4.1V, not sure if that is too high for a battery that is rated 3.7V or not. I'd guess no, so bad battery theory is likely out, unless it cooked the phone.
<edit> and I'm so frazzled from my beloved phone dying that I posted this to general instead of Q&A. argh.
I wouldn't rule out battery failure. Batteries don't power devices with voltage, and that voltage will only be discernible as an indicator for a very short period of time before it actually dies. You'll need a battery tester to check its actual amperage output, and I'd recommend looking up what it should be, along with its amp hour rating. Wish I had more to offer, but I work with dc backup powered systems, and they're a pain in the ass to catch with a voltmeter.
I777 gets it done, gnex just for fun
Yeah I know what you mean. I once had a car battery fail, read about 12V just fine but didn't put out enough miliamps to power even the dome light.
Taking lunch right now and headed to the retail store in town to see if they have a battery I can swap to test. More worried that I can't return to stock, really can't afford a $400 bill to replace this sucker if they catch that I've flashed it.
Had to drive an hour to the AT&T Device Support Center but its replaced now. I think the tech there was a bit surprised at how dead it was. He was figuring to just run his recovery tools and fix it right up, but got nothing.
Oh well, at least I'm not stuck on my old Tilt 2 running WinMo anymore. Though I do miss my keyboard a little bit.

After I got EnergyROM on my Tokyo the software worked as well as could be expected for WinMo. I also had a pretty much fully functional Froyo Android running off the SD card. The microphone finally died on it though, and the cost to replace out of warranty was more than I spent on the GS2.
I forgot how nice having a keyboard was though. Faster and more accurate typing plus you can still see the whole screen. Maybe that captivate glide wouldn't be so bad after all... Lol

Today my stock phone with JB overheated. I got a message on the screen that said the phone was shutting down for my protection. I was in the process of installing apps from the Play store. Six hours later it will still not turn back on. My battery was around 25% or so.
If it is not plugged in then no combination of button presses will produce any result.
If it is plugged in then it boots to the first logo flash and then reboots.
If it is plugged in and I boot to download mode then it flashes the download mode screen and reboots.
If it is plugged in and I hold down the power button then the power button flashes rapidly.
I left off for a couple hours and then plugged it in for a couple hours just in case it did need to charge, but it did not produce any change in results.
I am fairly certain that the fix described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039707 will work. I can also just return my phone since it is only one day old.
However it looks like there might be a fair number of people having this issue so I would like to look into preventative measures so that it does not have to happen. Other than not using the phone if it starts to get hot, does anyone have any ideas of where to check? Are there any files that can be changed to help the phone not get stuck in the pre-boot phase? I know we can change the temp that the phone shuts down at, but given that my phone actually was pretty hot I doubt that is a good solution.
Get a new phone and immediately turn on eco mode. My phone has never gotten hot during heavy usage and you won't notice any difference performance wise. You may notice better battery life, although, I haven't seen much improvement.

That is what I did with my first phone (I have two). I didn't on this phone because I wanted to see if there was any performance difference I could notice. It didn't seem any faster, but I only got to use it about 45 minutes before it overheated.
I will most likely return it, but I really do want to see what I can do to help out the people that won't have that option. I like fixing things so it is a hard choice.

This one. I sat and stared at my screen for 15 minutes trying to decide the best and shortest way to word that. I guess I failed.
I ended up returning my phone. I turned on Eco mode as soon as I could as was suggested. I noticed my phone was starting to get just as hot as before so I double checked and Eco mode had turned off. I am keeping an eye on it, but I have still had it get pretty hot a couple times. Mostly when I am downloading a lot and have the screen on. I'm staying safe by not using it for long periods of time, but that is going to get old pretty quick )= If it is a bad batch thing I suppose it would make sense that this one is bad too since I got it from the same store just two days apart.

I posted a mod in the dev section that should resolve this issue. Just choose optimized stock for a regular experience that'll appropriately throttle to maintain a reasonable temp.
So today while i was listening to music via AmazonMP3 in my car through the radio, it was also plugged into the charger. the phone went idle and turned the screen off, nothing abnormal here, however, this time when i went to turn the screen back on it would not. music was still playing and the orange charge light was on.
This happened twice today. the first time i was able to hold down the power button and force it to reboot. the second time it won't even do that. i hold down the power or hold down power+vol down/up and nothing happens. not even the buttons flashing. i've gone to the point of holding them down for 2 mins just to see if long term holding may somehow do it.
when i got home i plugged it into the computer to see if the computer would recognize the phone and to see if i could force reboot it using ADB. the computer did not see it and i tried ADB devices and it did not see it either. i'm basically at a loss at this point and any ideas would be welcome

Have heard a couple people say to leave it on charge, whether the charge light comes on or not, for 24 hours. Then try to reboot.
Hope you get it figured out. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

i'll give it a try... hopefully that'll work.... if not, guess i'll be going to Big Red on wednesday to see if i can use my Wife's upgrade early (it's due in march) since she's happy with her phone (dumb/flip phone) and isn't interested in using it

ok after letting it sit off the charger for a couple hours last night i plugged it in to start t he 24 hour charge and the charge light started flashing like it would normally to let you know of low battery. after about a minute this didn't change but i took the chance and attempted to turn it on. which it did come back on at this point. however, it didn't have enough charge to stay on since the charger is not a fast charger and wasn't giving more then it used. it shut back off. i unplugged and replugged and this time it flashed and then turned solid. turned the phone back on and it stayed on without issue.
this morning it was still coming back up. though i have had one instance where it didn't today but i was able to force it off by holding the power button.
i went ahead a few minutes ago and updated to viper 2.5 and i'm hoping that the reload will correct the issue... guess we'll find out
Thanks for the help!
though now i'm getting errors in Viper tweaks... to the Viper forum!!

i did.... the original error this post is about isn't venom related. it's hardware. once i reloaded/updated to the latest venom i was getting something different.. thus why i said 'To the Viper Forum!" on my last post

well at this point i'm saying it's a hardware issue. after i updated to 2.5 (and got the viper tweaks error resolved) i'm still having this issue. even had it this morning without it going screen off and i was looking at it this time when it happened. what it did was the screen just looked like it currupted the image with vertical lines and everything went grey as it was fading out. and then the charge light stayed on again. at least this time i was able to force it off again and turn it back on.. but yeah. i'm going with hardware issues. i'll probably go to Verizon tomorrow or this weekend and ask if i can take my wifes upgrade 1.5 months early. it'll be nice if they let me.. though now i need to figure out what i'd want to get..choices...
Too bad about your DNA. Personally I kinda like the One Max. Nice big screen and expandable memory.

expandable memory is always nice!
though i'm also looking at the LG G2. my dad has one of those and it's been great. the 3000 battery is nice, as is the 13 MP camera...i'll just have to compare and see which one i like better over all. price may play a part as well since right now the G2 is $50 while the One Max is $300....
just looking at them compared though. the One Max doesn't have as good a processor as the G2. 1.7 GHz vs 2.26 Ghz (both quad). i suppose a take the good with that bad would come on either phone since the G2 doesn't have expandable storage.
also... i'm not sure i'd want a phone that size. 5.5 would probably be the largest i'd want. i'll hold it when i go to the store. maybe i'll find it more comfortable then i think...

i've never actually had a samsung phone, either as a dumb phone or a smartphone. i've had a OG Droid, Xperia play and the DNA and that's it so far. one of my co-workers is trying to convince me to go with the note 3 since that's what he has. but i don't really want a phone/tablet. it wouldn't fit in my phone pocket that's built into my pants
i've rooted and unlocked samsung S2 before. but that's about it....

I had a Samsung phone for 2 years and hated it, it constantly froze and I had to do a battery pull daily. There was also little development for it though u doubt you will have that problem if you get the note 3. After owning that phone for 2 years and then picking up the DNA I have become an HTC fan. I had a Samsung continuum. Jut my little rant about Samsung.
