So, I had 30% battery left. I turned my phone off to charge faster and connected to the wall charger. When I went to pick up my phone, there was no life signal. I tried holding the power button, power button + volume down. No life signal. Tried removing SIM and still nothing. The phone is fully stock, ICS.
EDIT: Fixed by itslef.
Try charging your phone untill you're sure its full, then reboot.

So earlier today my home application died, so I tried sbfing my phone back to 2.2 (was previously running stock GB). After the SBf, my phone went into bootloop, and I'm pretty sure the battery died while looping. The phone is unresponsive, unless plugged into a power source, which it then shows the green charging light, as if it was charging while powered off. Any help restoring it would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried to charge it in recovery for a while to get a charge then SBF back to stock?
Take out the battery, insert the battery, hold volume down (until it gives you a menu) and press power(you can release the power button but hold down the volume down until menu appears.
or if that dont work, try removing battery and do the button sequence with a wall charger.
Just rmemeber once you get to recover let it charge or you wont have no juice to do the SBF.
Thanks a lot, that did the trick I realized that I just needed to be plugged into a wall charger, my laptop apparently wasn't giving it enough power.
Help!
Had my Note a couple of months no problems. This morning I forgot to get it out of my bag to sit on the desk. When I remembered it had got very hot and had a blank screen. I now can't get it to turn on.
I have already:
- let it cool down and taken the battery out and put back.
- Pressed the power button for upto 30 seconds
- Pressed combinations of power+menu+vol up, power+menu for 10 seconds or more
- Tried the above with the SIM card removed
What can I do? Is my phone bricked? There is not sign of response, no vibration etc to indicate the phone is on.
did you try plugging it in? Maybe you fried the battery.

I agree, it may very well have lost its charge. Connect to charger and see if it works again. You may have to replace battery if it happens again.
That happened to me once, let the battery die out completely and couldn't turn it on... make sure you plug it in to the wall charger and not a computer or laptop, you'll be there for days trying to charge it.

For some reason, If my phone is powered down I can not turn it on while it's plugged in. Frickin weird, but who knows. So when my battery died this weekend I had to charge it for about 15 minutes, unplug, turn on, once I saw samsung on screen I plugged back in and was good to go. It just started doing that recently, no idea why. So yea, I would suggest charging that joker for a good 20 minutes, unplug, hold button (should vibrate once or thrice), and see if that helps. Batteries don't like heat and tend to lose a large bit of their capacity when hot (not perm). My laptop works for a good 3-4 hours under heavy use, but when I go to afghan it dropps to half that under comperable load, then back home it works well again. Batteries are a fickle thing.
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.

Tab 10.1 wouldn't power up this morning even though I'd had it connected to mains power overnight (approx 12 hours). When I plugged it back into the mains power, the battery indicator on screen showed 100% - it powered up (still on mains) and started working beautifully - but, as soon as I unplugged it from the mains power. Black Screen and no life at all. Tried to power up again - nothing. Plugged back into mains - shows 100% battery life - powers up and works fine. Repeat above as many times as you like but it just wont work on the battery. I've tried:
* Holding down the power but for 10+ seconds - nothing
* Holding down the power but for 30+ seconds - nothing
* Holding down the power while touching the screen with on finger - nothing
* Holding down combinations of the power button and/or the Vol up/Vol down buttons (lots of different sequences as recommended by different forums) - nothing
It wont boot up into bootloader mode or anything....
Mains power = fine
Battery = nothing
It was all working fine yesterday morning and now it's toast!
I have noticed that it only works on mains power - it won't work simply plugged into the PC
Any ideas? 'Coz I've run out.... :crying:
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and under Battery Information, you will know whether the battery is the culprit or not. Battery Health should show Good.

Hmmmm... it's a tablet (Galaxy Tab 10.1) and doesn't have a phone, so I don't have anywhere to dial from...
Sorry for my assumptions! I assumed because I can make calls with mine, that you also could. Anyway mine is the 3G variant of the same 10.1. However, it is rooted which means I do not have the same limitations you have. I make regular calls with it and is currently running on Android 4.3.1.
Cheers.

Definitely sounds like an hardware issue, you can try downloading an battery information application from the play store to see if it reports things like a temperature or voltage. Maybe the battery cable somehow got disconnected and you can repair it by opening up the tablet...
Can you 'over charge' these devices?
I'd had it on charge for a couple of days. That's when I noticed the problem.
It's now been sitting around for about 4-5 days powered off and last night I pushed the power on button and it burst into life with a full power on cycle (so it wasn't sleeping).
But, the date and time had been reset - back to some date in 2004 and 00:00 hrs.
Something seems to have gone 'bump in the night' and brought it back to life.....

OK....so it's happened again.... :crying:
Left Tablet on charge, now it won't power up unless it's connected to the mains power.
Last time I had the problem it suddenly recovered (apparently all by itself) and it worked fine for ages. I re-charged the battery quite a few times, but suddenly, it's decided to stop working on the battery again.
In the last month, the battery goes up to 100% and drops down again. I usually recharge the tablet when it's around the 10-15% level. I don't do anything odd or extraordinary....
I don't beat up or drop the tablet, it's well taken care of...
Has anyone ever heard of this before?
Well, I've replaced the battery. Charged it fully and.... no change!
While the Tab is plugged into mains power, it runs like a charm.
As soon as I unplug it from Mains power (with the battery showing 100% full charge), it powers off immediately. No shutdown, just a black screen.
I'm now certain it'll need to go in for repair as something inside has broken, but does anyone have a better understanding than me (not very hard!) of the internals of the Tab and where the problem may lie ???
Cheers
