Ok first off im on a verizon galaxy with the S4, but the forums are being mismanaged atm so I thought you int'l guys could give me some insight :fingers-crossed:
Anyway, Had the phone for a couple weeks, noticed that sometimes (like my previous Droids) it would overheat here or there. I was playing a game for a good while, maybe almost an hour, phone was a bit warm, next thing I know screen goes black. No buttons will revive it AND it goes into some vibrate mode. The phone vibrates probably a good 5 times. Maybe this is a vibrate sequence telling me my phone just melted? lol..
Ive let it sit and cool, and still no go. Every time I hold the power button I just get one little vibrate from it. Ive tried letting it charge for a bit (no screen comes on telling me its charging). pulling the battery.
My only option is to go to verizon and get a new one I suppose.. Anyone heard of this happening or know what that vibrate sequence meant?

See what happens if you pull the battery, wait for a few minutes. Reboot in recovery, wipe data/factory reset and cache and then reboot.
annddd.. Im a retard. lol. I was using my wireless headphone microusb charger which was well underrated, causing the phone to discharge as I used it -__-
And I guess the phone/battery didnt adjust to tell me it was discharging

I think it means ur battery is dead. In this case even trying to charge the phone will not work because u still need a little powe in the battery to start the phone and kick-start the charging process. only option you have is to get another battery or use one of them external battery chargers and see.
I've never had it happen on the S3 but a couple of times on the S1.
If they've not changed that, then it's sufficient to just let the phone lie there for half an hour with the charger plugged in and it will become bootable.
No need to swap the battery

In most cases the battery is not really dead, there are special chargers that have the ability to revive such batteries. I'm not too good with that stuff but somehow when the voltage drops too low the internal electronic in the battery which controls part of the charging process is somewhat shut down. These chargers I was talking about have the ability to power these internals back up and so get the usual battery charging process running again.
I'm not sure but for all I know this can save batteries but those batteries will most likely have reduced capacity.
Hope this helps!
For yours or anyones info: i have been using the s3 the last couple of days in 110 degrees ( Vegas area) for hours while navigating, charging and on full brightness, on the dashboard in the sun. No sweat from the phone

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.

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!!

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
Hi!
I've been having a little trouble with my Motorola Photon 4G this past week. So far it wasn't that bad, but it got worse during the past couple days. I've had it for about 2 years, and have to wait until February to change it. (Note: it is not, nor has it ever been rooted)
It started by just freezing and restarting at random moments. Then I had to remove the battery to restart it when it froze, because the power button wouldn't respond. It started going on reboot loops, where it would freeze, I'd take out the battery, it'd restart, and go through the restart process over and over again until the battery died. I could still turn it on. After a couple days, the battery would drain extremely quickly, to the point where to actually be able to turn it on I'd have to remove the battery, plug the phone in until the "looking for battery" icon popped up, reinstall the battery, wait for it to charge, and then turn it on.
Now, no matter what I do, it will not turn on. If I plug it in a wall outlet, it
-With the battery installed --> LED turns green, nothing pops up, power button is not responsive
-Without the battery --> Nothing happens
If I plug it in the computer, the LED turns white, but the Dual Core screen doesn't pop up. When it rarely does, it freezes there.
I have tried the whole "hold power button and volume down" (Stuck in RSD mode or something like freezes on the screen), or "hold the power button and volume up" (Fastboot freezes on the screen), and the holding the two volume keys when the Dual Core screen pops up doesn't work either.
I can't get a new contract, since I am moving away in a couple months in another country, and an US phone would be useless.
Does anybody have a solution?

Try this:
1) Power down (if not already powered off);
2) Pull the battery out;
3) Plug power in *without* putting the battery in;
4) Boot the phone.
If it does not start, we'll have to go from there. If it does start, you need a new battery.

The light is green because it's powered and the battery doesn't need charging (not in the device). At least we have that.
Ok, this will sound stupid, but let's give it a shot:
1) unplug power;
2) remove battery (if not still removed);
3) Let it sit for a while (10 minutes would be overkill, but what the heck);
4) plug power in (not battery -- leave that out);
5) Press and hold the power and volume-down buttons for a good long time -- get a motorola screen?
If we don't get the motorola screen, could be a couple things -- screen dead? Or hardware prob (maybe the power button is dirty -- push good and hard just to be sure).

As I thought, battery shot. Confuses many. So, an unbrick might not be necessary. The battery just won't even pull up the bootloader.
If you get the new battery, and you never rooted, thus didn't load the clockwork recovery hack, it should charge, and then boot might be ok. We will see, but until you see no boot at all, unbrick is the last resort since it's a slog and you're not overly experienced.
I can help, but the OP on the unbrick thread is a great help in most cases.

Not quite sure what you're saying, but the new battery the OP in this thread purchased should charge fine unless something is really wrong (never rooted so never loaded any charge-precluding mods).
If you are saying that on your phone, with a new battery, you still had to unbrick it because it wouldn't charge ... hmmmm ... seems very strange. Even the clockwork recovery mod would come up and then allow rebooting normally.
We'll see when the new battery comes. Hopefully no unbrick work required, just a charge.
what i am saying is that when the phone is bricked.. i mean bricked... nothing works what so ever except rsd... then thats it... it will not charge the battery. if you have a dead battery then dont expect it to charge while rsd. i needs power on the battery to allow RSD because the computer doesnt flash when the battery is dead and doesnt flash without the battery.
thus... he needs a changed battery. you could buy a seperate charger if you like... but it is much more expensive then buying a battery
Ok, I see what you're saying.
Yes, if truly bricked, it's an unbrick operation. Smells bricked, but I find it plausible the OP gets a battery with enough charge to try a boot. It is concerning we couldn't get booted on power without battery, though. That should have worked. Do it all the time working on kernel modules.
Just saying don't unbrick until trying out the new battery, the former of which the OP could do on power alone.
To qualify so no confusion -- I reboot into recovery mod without battery merely by plugin in -- so I can flash over modules. I've never been able to boot in to the OS normally without the battery in, but we still should see the moto logo.

Been running this Nexus 9 as a headunit in my truck for a long time. It's been good to me. I'm VERY familiar with flashing ROMs, recovery, etc...
This weekend the device became 100% unresponsive. Meaning, no lights or anything on the screen as a result of plugging it into a wall charger. I've tried holding down the power button for an eternity and no dice. Power and volume down or power and volume up don't do the trick either. Just to make sure it wasn't a drained battery I left it on the charger for 24 hours. Same results.
Any ideas? Never had a device that was completely unresponsive.

It's possible it's not actually charging which you've probably already considered. It's not very difficult to open the tablet to try battery connection reseat. You might need a new battery. Definitely sounds like a power issue.

Interesting....I'll try that thing in Post #7 and report back. 2 minutes seems like forever. Hope I can hold all three down without budging for that long!
Tried the fix suggested....no dice.
Put it on the operating table and removed the battery. Battery seating of the terminal looked fine. New battery time? Any tests I can do prior to confirm if it's worth buying a new battery?
As a follow up, I decided to simply re-seat the battery and put it back together. Apparently that was the issue because it works PERFECTLY now! Thanks for the tips!

Put it on the operating table and removed the battery. Battery seating of the terminal looked fine. New battery time? Any tests I can do prior to confirm if it's worth buying a new battery?

Glad that resetting battery worked. I find that mine (the screen) started doing the black/white pattern thing when battery goes below 30-35%. I reset the battery connection when that happened but no change. I've already purchased an Acer R11 Chromebook in anticipation of the 9's demise.
