All right, I have a lil problem that goes a little some like this...
1) Everytime a try to shut down the phone it reboots automatically!
I've also been having other problems with the phone too! and they are
2) I charge my mobile at night go to work and only, only just last when i get home after 8 - 10 hours, in that time i dont even use it! but when i disconnect it from charging fully, it takes a while to recognise that it has disconnected, displays battery still charging etc, and it makes noises that its connected and disconnected???
3) They unlock screen plays up, you'll try and drag your finger across the screen to make a pattern to unlock and it does complete the pattern or recognise where your finger is, if you wait for a little bit or lock then try again it works??? (GO LOCK installed, along with GO PRO theme!)
4) GO weather doesn't recognise your GPS positioning but the Navigation program does. (this maybe the program i dont know, its just all happening at once that all)
5)Try to connect to Samsung Kies Pc studio to update the firmware and mobile, and i keep getting a message saying 'Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode. Current connection mode not supported be Kies. (and this is with the updated Kies program)
6) Now when i turn it off and restarts it's self, it hangs on at shut down flashing between two picture, the battery status picture and saying its overheated, when now it doesn't overheat like it was doing earlier or even get hot at all??? And to get it outta this mode i have to put a charger in it and turn it back on and take it out
What i have done so far:
a) I've uninstalled all the 'GO' apps
b) followed the Samsung Kies instructions and still same problem
c) tried going throught the mobile's options to turn on or off anything to do with USB sharing and bebugging, and keeps telling me that the usb cable is to be disconnected when it is not???
All i can relate this to is when, one time while i was working i put my mobile away in the glove box of the work vehicle, i returned to it at the end of the day and remember my mobile would be flat at this stage, so i was gonna check the time, and i sore the mobile had SOME how went into 'ODIN' mode, NO one ever touched it, nor did i do anything to it to do this, and sore it was trying to download something? I panicked, try to turn it off, and wouldn't turn back on till i got a charger into it.
So now i am thinking this maybe to problem 'ODIN' mode when i forced it to shut down!, but from here this is where i need help? What is first

Ok, wired thing just happened, i was stuffing around, my mobile was connected by usb to the computer charging, and it reached 100% so i disconnected it and was playing through the menus again, trying to disable debugging mode and... it finally disconnected!
So i was able to connected to Kies, checking everything and it was saying that i had the latest updates and firmware, is this true because i've been reading other wise and was wondering, if there is a better update then i've got, cause i've still got all the other same problems!
So what do i do, reinstall, update??? i have no idea!
The problems with the phone restarting and not disconnecting is probably your micro usb connection on the phone. Try cleaning it.

well to start with, i bought this samsung galaxy s2 mobile, it has been working absolutely fine until 3 days ago. My battery was low and it went into flight mode, i connected my mobile to the wall charger and it started charging up but since then, my mobile is in flight mode, i keep turning it off and it internally goes into flight mode, in settings it shows its off but on top bar of my screen, there is the flight icon, i cant make or receive any calls/texts since this started happening, I tried soft reset (removing the battery for few mins), didnt work. I tried to factory reset my mobile but its asking for some password, i tried my google password from which i configured the device at the time of purchase, but it says the password is incorrect. Pls help
Thanks

Make sure that when you enter your password you are connected to your/a wifi network because I assume you don't have mobile internet on flight mode.
Also, this may sound stupid but make sure you don't have any app or WIDGET that enables/disables fly mode, also long press your power button until the popup and see if flightmode is disable there too.
Last, go into your Phone Information and make sure you have a baseband and an Imei
*#06# on your dialer.
security password to protect your data,assuming you tried to master reset in android,if you didnt make one and have warranty,take it back, because the other process will void your warranty

I'm having the same problem, but i assume that i got it when the phone was updated OTA to 4.0.3 (LPG). I certainly did'nt have the problem beforehand.
It's absolutely useless to try to disable flightmode, both with powerbutton and manually inside settings - the phone never goes out of flightmode, even that it says that flightmode is disabled in settings, and when pressing powerbutton.
My solution though, is to disable flightmode and rebooting the phone. That works, but i don't know if that solves your specific problem. Irritating problem though - it somehow destroys the feeling of a good phone...
Hello everyone! I scanned a few pages and search a bit but couldn't find my exact problem already listed;
When I plug in my USB cable to my laptop (Windows 7) the phone goes into 'installer mode' and sits there for about 10-15 seconds then switches to 'media device' mode. That's cool because I want it to be in media device mode normally, installer mode is useless. The problem is, if I open dev options and select USB Debugging mode, it only stays for 10-15 seconds then pops back into media device mode -- for the 10-15 seconds I can connect from my PC and start pushing my app over but then it fouls up when it comes out of dev mode.
My phone is rooted but I have very few apps on it yet, the only rooted app I have is a wifi tether app which I haven't used yet, and NoBloat which I used to disable some verizon crud. It will still flip out of usb debug mode even if I don't try to push any data to it... GRRR! I also have a problem where I can't sign into Samsung Account ("Samsung Account has stopped working")... but that's another story >=(

Sounds like your wonderful "Debloat" app uninstalled something you needed. That's why these apps are useless. One persons soultion isn't for everyone.

As a matter of fact, I completely re enabled everything I had frozen before posting and it still doesn't work.could it be a flaw in the root process?
To be clear, I never "un-installed" anything with NoBloat, I only "Disabled" or froze some apps (mostly amazon and the verizon nfl center, nothing system-wise).

Well if you want to do a system restore send me a PM and I'll give you instructions to do so. I'll only be up for about another hour or so.

For those waiting with bated breath, a full restore did not help the issue of it not staying in USB Debug mode. In fact, a total reflash of the stock ROM and kernel still had the exact same problem, which I re-created right after I performed the initial setup... so this bug exists in the normal stock ROM it seems...

Your phone might be defective if it never worked from the day you got it. If that's the case you should go to Verizon.

Nah, I'm almost 100% it's just a software problem because if I uncheck Debug mode then check it again, I can use the phone in dev mode for like 15-20 seconds and everything works perfectly... I can push my APK to test and it works great, but after it flips back to media mode it just kind of dies...
Edit: Can you plug your phone into your PC and tell me what mode it starts in, then wait 20 seconds and see if it changes modes? My phone immediately goes into "Installer Mode" then 20 seconds later changes to Media Mode (MTP). Maybe it's a problem with the drivers I have installed causing the phone to flip out of dev mode...

The chumps at Verizon don't know how to do anything besides make phone calls and Samsung support is always closed by the time I get home...
Figured it out! Went into device manager and updated the "CDC Serial" with the driver from the Kies application from Samsung website, that cleared it up!

Good now if you ever need to restore you'll be fine with the USB debugging.

Hi, everyone. I've seen the other threads and no one had a problem quite like mine.
Yesterday I've upgraded my Alcatel OT-997, ICS 4.0.4. with Kuano's TWRP and now it's:
Alcatel OT-997D, JB 4.1.1. - (details in this thread, 5th post) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981692&page=89
D means I can now use two SIM cards, which is cool.
The problem is the damn thing doesn't charge when it's turned on. It shows the lightning bolt over the battery icon, but in settings shows that charger is not connected. However, when it's turned off it charges, normally. I tried different settings in USB menu: Mass storage, MTP, Camera mode and Charge. Tried with and without Debugging mode. All of those work when connected to a computer in the sense that I can use internal storage, access both SD cards, and so on. But it doesn't charge.
I have tried 3 different cables, 3 wall outlets, and 2 PCs so it's not that. I suppose it's not a hardware problem otherwise it wouldn't charge properly when it's turned off.
So now I use schedule to turn it off before I go to sleep, and to turn on before I wake up, so it would charge while I'm sleeping. Anyone's got any ideas how to fix it?
Bump
Well I solved it with reinstall
Finally I've lost my patience so I tried the only thing that was left.
First I did a backup with TWRP.
Then, factory reset from TWRP.
Then, restore system from One Touch Upgrade 2.8.0 - lost the DUAL capability, software restored to 4.0.4.
Now comes the interesting part. It had the same problem as before, did not charge while on. So I tried a solution I found online a while ago but I never tried when on 4.1.1: Turn it off, connect charger, remove battery, wait a bit, press power button for approx 10 sec (nothing hapens), wait a bit, instert battery, turn it on and there it is. I'm not sure if it was this procedure that did the trick or it simply needed a reboot after update but it worked. It showed "charging" in battery stats.
Finally, restore with TWRP as Kuano explained in his post. Mind you, when I did the restore it was connected to my PC all the time.
Now two things I you should know:
First, before I did all this I connected it to my PC while turned off i.e. (PC - ON, phone - OFF). I noticed this: it was constantly connecting and disconnecting (the "piano chord" notification was coming from the computer speakers every 5 sec) like I was pulling the cable in and out. That is all I know about this, I didn't have the nerves to work on it.
Second, now that it is restored and charging, when I connected it to PC it couldn't change USB setting from Charge to MTP. It reported an error something like "service stopped". This happened only once and I did not try to do it again, I just don't have the energy for any more problem fixing right now. It charges, and I use airdroid for file transfer, that is all I need for now. If and when I get around to take a look at it I'll post here if there's something interesting.
So I rooted my International Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 about 8 months ago with CWM and started running CM 13 on it. Went smooth till about a few days ago, when I was taking some pictures using CamScanner and my phone just turns off. No message, nothing. Just goes blank instantly. Since then, it's stuck in a bootloop whenever I turn it on. I can get into both download mode and recovery currently. No nandroid backup (Extremely stupid of me, I know). And for some reason, my PC doesn't recognize my phone both in recovery and in Odin/Download mode. Thinking that it might be a bug in the ROM, I did a factory reset and flashed CM14.
PS : Couple of bits of info, dunno whether relevant, but anyway :
1. Very weak battery - Percentage fluctuates wildly.
2. I've been running Xposed for quite a while now, however, I had just installed Greenify and set most apps to force hibernate.
3. I've already wiped the cache and Dalvik cache.
4. I already had the drivers installed on my PC; I regularly used to connect my phone to it.
5.I had USB Debugging enabled when the phone went off.
6. A couple of times after the phone went off, I was able to switch it on if the charger was connected, but switched off immediately when I disconnected the charger; it was like a pc going off when you cut off the power supply - no message, nothing at all - just went blank.
7. Dunno why, but my phone refuses to charge unless I use a particular cable and hold it at a particular angle.
I've been trying to find a solution for this for the last one week, but this seems to be a unique case. Please help!
Issue resolved. Turns out, it was a battery issue
Hello,
I have an old Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (AT&T: SM-G925A) that's having strange problems.
It will not turn on at all when it is unplugged from the wall. When it does turn on, it shuts off after a while and resets. The battery has been replaced but the issue hasn't gone away.
I can manage to get the phone to boot in Download Mode while it's connected to my computer, but it doesn't get recognized by Kies or Smart Switch (it DOES get recognized by Odin, though). I've also managed to turn on USB Debugging, if that helps any.
Getting it functional again really isn't a top priority. I mainly want to retrieve the data off of the phone. Is it possible?
