Hi All
There are lots of battery calibration thread here and i tried one.
I depleted battery until the phone power off, then I plug into charger when it's power off cherged it until %100. Then unplug it and pulled the battery off, then press power button for few times. Then put the battery back on. Then pressed the power button but nothing happens.
Is my phone hard bricked ?
I m very sorry please help
Edit: I'm using samsung 2000mah kit.
I very much doubt that. Try just normal power on while plugged in. And not.
. Do you have a jig?

try first with the stock battery and see if the phone is all right. if it is maybe it´s your 2000mah battery kit that is faulty

My battery dies within a day sometimes and always shows that it is charging even when it is not in the cradle. Any ideas? Thanks!
HELLO. TRY TO RESET THE BATTERY. HOW. PRESS THE BATTERY HOLE ONE TIME. THEN WAIT ABOUT A FEW MINUTES THEN PRESS IT AGAIN. NOW. CHARGE YOU PDA IN THE CRADLE. DO NOT TURN IT ON DURING THE CHARGE UNTIL IT COMPLETE SOLID GREEN LIGHT. LET ME KNOW IF IT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.
what is the batter hold?
BATTERY RESET BUTTON. (SMALL HOLD ON THE RIGHT SIDE NOT THE HARD RESET BUTTON)
oh okay, that doesn't help. I'll try to replace the battery while I Have it open as I have an extra one also. thanks
I havent used the tablet for about a week or so and initially thought the battery was dead. Left it on the charger for about 3 hours and tried booting it but nothing.
Held the power button for 30 seconds and again nothing. Tried factory reset menu (power button + vol down key) and again nothing.
Tried the power button + touching screen: hxxp://mojocode.com/content/samsung-galaxy-tablet-101s-wont-boot and again nothing.
I also took the back plastic out and "pulled out" the battery and waited about 30 minutes to put it back on and still nothing.
I was on official release of ICS and now im all out of ideas,
Is it "Officially Dead"? any help would be appreciated.

If you open the tablet, it's easy to check your battery with a multimeter.
if your battery is discharged bellow 3.3 v(for Li-Po)/cell then you can't recover anymore, it's dead.(as you say you don't use it for a week)
Check your battery voltage, and if you can try to boot your tablet with another battery.

If you have digital multimeter, doesn't matter because you'll read negative value of voltage if connect multimeter in revese way.
i dont know how many cells you have packed in your battery, but if you can read from battery 3.7v means 1 cell, 7.2v means 2 cell...etc
You will see (if you have 2 cell for example) 3 wires because is 2 cell in series, and your tablet charge them cell by cell, not charge your cells in series!
Measure voltage betwen 1-2 wire and 2-3 wire.
You must see a value between 3.3-3.6v on both cells.
I hope it helps
What happens if you connect it to your PC then hold down the power button? What kind of device shows up if anything?
After three months with my Note 2, I've started having battery drain issues. Thinking my battery may be bad, I bought a regular and an extended battery. My problem is that when I swap batteries, the device will not turn on unless I plug in the charging cord and the battery icon pops up. Is this normal? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

after the battery icon pops up, press and hold the power button again, then it should boot to Samsung logo.

I'm sorry that my question was not clear. I can get the device to boot, but only if I plug in the cord. I was hoping I could just swap batteries, press the power button, and have the device start. Having to plug the device in first is not possible if I'm away from a power source. Thanks for the quick reply.
I swap my battery every other day...this does not happen...I have never heard of this happening.. I use a samsung and a qcell battery..when ones almost dead..I shut down, install fresh one, power up and go.

You are pressing and holding the power button down until booting starts? You have to hold it 2 to 5 seconds when its completely powered down.

I've tried everything. Once I take the battery out, the device will not recognize that I put the battery back in unless I plug in the charger for one second. Once I plug in the charger, I see the red light flicker and then I can take the cord out and it will boot from the battery.
When I called Samsung yesterday they suggested a hard reset. I did that without any luck. I'm taking the phone back to Best Buy today. I've had the phone for 3 1/2 months and I have the protection plan.

One thing I didn't see you mention was you are turning the phone off before swapping the batteries. If you are pulling the battery without properly shutting down the phone, then it's possible that the power button itself it faulty. If you typically pull the battery without properly powering down the device, then power up the device the way you've had success and try shutting down the phone through the Android OS.

Nothing worked, so I unrooted and took the phone back to best buy on Friday. My "new" refurbished phone is at the store waiting for me to pick up. I was only rooted for the last month, but shortly after rooting my battery life was horrible -- and then I wasn't able to swap batteries and boot without plugging it in for a second. Now that I'm running the stock rom, my battery life is back to normal. I also just tried taking the battery out and it boots up fine. Now I'm wondering if I want to get the refurbished phone, and if I want to root again.
first thing I ever do when having problems is odin back to fresh stock! Keep your device and refuse the replacement. I would not hesitate to reroot at all as rooting should have absolutely no impact on battery life. most likely something got corrupted in the software or you had a rogue app wake locking your device.
Ok here is the issue...I have been having random reboots for a while( 3-6 months) thought it was just a dirty flash. I did a clean install of AOKP as suggested and the problem persisted. I thought well maybe the ROM just does't like my phone so I tried ShoStock, CM10, SlimBean, Xylon, and straight up stock...Well none of these helped, the more I researched my problem on XDA, Rootzwiki, and Google the more I saw that it was probably a power button malfunction. I sent the phone into mobiletechvideos.com to get the power button replaced, they probably did a great job from all the reviews and testimonials I've got from my other dev team (Team Passion FTW:]) but now every time I plug it into a charger it flashes the charging battery symbol two or three times and then stops. The phone won't turn on and I can't get to download mode/ recovery/ any mode... The phone acts as though it's just dead. ANY help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks XDA community, you've helped me in the past let us figure this out together!!

Did you let the bettery die? Have you tried a spare battery yet?

I did let the battery die...I hadn't used the phone in over a month so the battery was drained, you really think the battery is dead enough to not hold a charge at all??
P.S. I don't have an extra battery on hand, is there a way to check without a battery to see if the phone is really dead??

it is a known issue that the phone won't charge or turn on if you let the battery completely die. I've had it happen to me, but I luckily had a spare battery laying around.

I've heard of this method but I have not tried it myself. You take a piece or two of tape and cover the data pins on the battery. They would be the first and third pins from the left (the ones without the + & -).
Once taped, you put the battery back in the phone and charge it. The screen should do nothing. After about 15-30 minutes, remove the tape and plug in normally. Your battery should now have enough juice to operate normally.

Ok so I have determined it was the battery after using a battery of a friends phone. I have tried to cover up pins one and three but every time I plug the phone in it keeps flashing the battery sign and then shutting down.. I'm just wondering if this isn't going to work or if I should try the other pins?? I already ordered a new battery but I'm curious now how this is supposed to work.
I think the theory is that the phone is trying to read the battery but the battery doesn't have enough juice to provide the info. You block the data pins so only the positive and negative terminals make contact and you trickle charge it.
I've also heard of using a 9v battery to jump the battery. You just connect positive to positive negative to negative and pray neither one becomes a bomb in your face.

My phone is doing the same exact thing. The power button started acting up on my phone and then stopped working altogether. The battery died and now it won't turn or or charge, it just flashes the battery icon briefly then shuts off. I ordered a cheapo charger so I can see if charging the battery to full at least lets me turn it on. Please let me know if replacing the battery fixes things. I had this same problem with the battery about a year ago and it seemed to resolve itself after a few hours but that doesnt seem to be the case anymore after a few days it still won't work.
Yeh the battery's for these phones are odd. Some people can let their battery die completely and nothing negative will happen. Some let it die once and it never works again.
I've had this problem before. I wouldnt turn on completely, but if you plugged the phone in and powered it on in COMPLETE darkness, you can just see the backlight flickering on an off.
My way of fixing this was to plug the phone in the wall charger (without the battery) and then press and hold the vol down + power buttons (this is how you enter Download Mode) and then insert the battery while holding those buttons. It should power up into download mode. You just have to use something like Odin to return it to stock.
Now I know you ordered a battery already, but try this out to see if it works for you since you don't have the battery yet.

This button combination will put the SGH-I777 into recovery mode, not download mode. I'd like to be nice about it if possible, but please be sure you are posting correct information. Otherwise, it can be very confusing for those who don't know the phone real well.

This is what is happening to me. If I plug it in I can see the the touch buttons on the bottom briefly flash and the screen flicker. It's as if its trying to start up but doesn't have enough juice. Unfortunately it does the same thing with the battery out and I am unable to get into download or recovery. Hopefully its just the battery.
Not sure if the OP made any progress but I was having the same problem and I bought a cheapo stand alone battery charger off of amazon and charged the battery for a couple hours and now the phone turns right on. Seems the other people in this thread are right about the phone being picky if the battery is completely drained. Here's a link to charger if anyone is interested. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0081KRLMQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have a Droid Razr Maxx. My battery was running down (a little quicker than normal, it seemed) so I placed it on a charger and came back to check on it a few hours later. It would not turn back on, even after holding down the power button for >15 seconds, even while plugged into power. So I left it on the charger all night (about 7 hours) and tried the next morning. It still won't turn on no matter how long I hold down the power button or how many times I press/release the power button. When I plug it into my computer by USB, my computer does not "notice" that any thing has been plugged in.
My only theory is that somehow the battery failed. The phone was working fine until the the day that it died. It was never dropped. There was no trauma.
I have since purchased a new phone, but there is still data on my Razr that I really need to recover if possible. Short of replacing the battery, does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions? BTW, the battery was replaced about 4 months prior with genuine (I believe) Motorola Maxx battery.
Try this method to charge if it doesn't work then i believe ya need to buy a factory cable which is actually not costly and it would always help ya even if ya have no battery or less bettery.
