[Q] Vibrant Won't turn On! - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a TMobile Vibrant ROMed and rooted here, and it won't turn on. the soft keys do light up when its plugged in, but that's all it does. The battery is charged for sure because I do have an external battery charger that tells the charge of the battery.
This started happening about a couple days after I flashed AOKP, the odd thing is, prior I had CM7 flashed and it randomly bootlooped on me while using it (read: I was not installing roms/kernels, just regular day usage and it bootlooped)
This time with AOKP, it doesn't turn on at all! If anybody needs further information, I'll be on all day to provide it. Can anybody please help me?
UPDATE : I'm starting to think the screen is dead; I was able to flash stock somehow, and I can hear the unlock sound, but obviously nothing is on the display :/.

You probably already know that you can check for vital signs by plugging it into a PC and checking for a USB connection. You might even be able to get an adb login.
If the screen is dead, you could maybe use it as a... webcam? Wifi widget? Paper-weight? Or spare parts?
Good luck with it. It does sound like bad hardware.

I ordered a spare batt and now when i try to put the original one back in the phone does not boot unless i plug the charger in first then it works as normal. So every time i take the batt out i have to plug it in to the wall before i can use it? Pretty much destroys the point in why i got a spare battery

I dont know whats happening but provide the following details and someone here might be able to help.
- which ROM are you using? If stock then which region?
- since when did you start getting this problem?
- did this issue arise after you installed any application?
- did you always used the official smassung charger and battery?
Phone signal is draining out.. not to be negative but looks like you going to have a huge bill this month.

Looks like your phone crashed or froze during a period so it couldn't read the battery statistics.
Stock 2.3.4 from south east england always used default charger, not installed any new apps for weeks now. Happend after a crash followed by automatic restart. Random.

[Q] is this a battery issue? or...

I have been having this problem with multiple roms. When my phone crashes and boots sometimes it comes up and tells me to connect to my charger and the battery is at less than 5%. If I reboot it, it comes back up normal. sometimes I have to reseat the battery.
I cleaned the battery connection and I haven't had any trouble yet.. but I haven't had any crashes since then either. I bought my phone on day one so I guess it could just be a bad battery? Anyone else seen this? In the pic you can see it happened twice.

Bro, there are a lot of better ways to rack up your post count then spamming multiple threads with "Thanks you!"...
Anyways Dr.Stainedglove, I remember someone with a similar issue a while back. Turned out to be a battery issue. Not sure if that's what caused your issue but if the phone starts acting up again I would suggest you look into a new battery. You can get a 1800mAh batteries (400mAh bigger then our stock batteries) for pretty cheap. See here.
Sure looks like it

Thanks.. I may end up getting one of those epic batteries even if I dont have anymore issues. Since cleaning the connections its been working fine.

I have exactly the same problem, the micro USB port of the device is damage, you'll fix the problem by changing it
How much is it to fix? Did you do it yourself and was it easy?
Try bending the contact pin inside your phone's charging port upwards with a toothpick. Cured the eternal charging on my s2.

Is there any way I could get data off it, it still powers up but drivers are not recognized on PC, tried kies, mobiledit but usb device is not recognized. Think Bluetooth and wifi are also switched off.
Anything else I can try or is it a lost cause?

I can now see the phone in Kies but it is locked due to a password needed on the device, no screen means I cant put in the password arrgggghhhh!!!
You can try to install custom recovery and then mount it to your pc if the display is not broken or you can look at the picture could be risky cause you maybwipe all data. Or you need to replace digitizer and the display

Display is totally gone.
Decided to leave it, he will have to get over it lol.
At least I now have a spare battery for mine.

[Q] Battery Life after 4,3

I've had my S4 since July and my battery would always last me until at least 8pm every night without needing a charge. Since 4.3 dropped and I've updated to it my battery life has gone to complete crap. I've used all the wakelock apps and none of them show anything out of the ordinary so I thought it was OS related and did a factory reset. That didn't work so I ordered a new battery from Amazon and gave it a 100% charge and this is what it looks like.

I've read countless threads of people with bad battery after update but not one of them has a solution. Should I do another factory reset since I got a new battery? Keep in mind I can't root this phone because it was given to me from Samsung for work so that is out of the question.
I ordered this one because a friend of mine has it and he hasn't had any issues with it so I figured I'd give it a shot http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower-SGH-...TF8&qid=1391625055&sr=8-2&keywords=s4+battery
So maybe try another reset/clear cache with the new battery?
I use anker batteries and I think they're great. If you ever thought of trying another one give one of those a shot.

The problem isn't batteries though because it started happening when using my regular oem battery.
Oh I know I was just throwing that out there
