can't get Note to turn on - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

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.

HELP! Prime won't start up.

So I took the prime of its box, plugged it into the wall and tried turning it on. When I did, the Android battery indicator screen showed up. The battery was in the red, about a quarter the way up. I've since called Asus about the issue, and they told me to charge it for about an hour. I've done that, and still it doesn't work. It still boots into the same screen. It won't even go into recovery if I hold volume- and power for 10 seconds, just back to the battery screen. I feel like maybe I'M doing something wrong here. Any ideas, guys?

it's gotta charge. mine did that too and i was freaking out. apparently not all tablets are charged. It took about 10 minutes to finally get it to boot up.
If you charge it and it still doesnt...then it might be time to ..worry
I'm only worried because it's been charging for an hour and still just goes to the battery screen, shutting off immediately after. I'll let it charge for a few hours and if it still doesn't work I'll just have to call Asus.
Whoa sorry to hear this.When i plugged mine in it started booting up & went to the home screen.It had 21% battery left on it.So i shut it down & letting it charge the full 8 hours that's recommended before even using the device.I hope yours works.
Make sure the charging light is on
where's the charging light?
its built into the power on button. a tiny little orange led
It's not coming on. When I plug the tablet in, it recognizes that it's plugged in and vibrates, tries to turn onamd fails.
Make sure it is plugged in all the way in the tablet.. and then wait a bit. you must use the wall charger.
It has been plugged all the way into the tablet with the wall charger :-/
Dang! Sorry to hear this. if it doesn't come on within the hour id say just exchange it. it might bea faculty unit. it should have enough juice to boot up by now considering if you charging it properly. Good luck. wish it was working for you because this is a great device.
I am having the same problem too when I first plugged it in the battery indicator screen came on real fast and turned off the orange charging light came on and turned off.I tried plugging into the computer it does nothing diffrent.I think it might bricked.
okay. i just got my primetoday, same deal. it doesn't start, tried to reset, etc. i finally charged it for a while, after a while, it finally boots. at that point it was at the 15% battery life mark.
seems a bit odd.... i would wait and see.. if its game stop they would of had games installed on it.
I just got mine today...woot!!! But the issue that u have happened to me also what it happened was a faulty charger

I tested the charger on my phone and it worked. I plugged into the tablet and pressed the power button the led came on and blinked and turned off quickly.I think the battery needs a good charge.
I had to charge mine until the battery indicator was green before it would turn on. Said in the manual to fully charge before using for the first time... so maybe it doesn't let you start up until charged?
Well after 3 hours of charging it finaly started up but the battery level was low 3% showing that tells me the battery had no charge in it.Well I am happy that it is working and hopefully no other problems show up.
Good to hear
Same exact thing happened to me, lol. Mine arrived with zero charge and I just let it sit for about an hour plugged in and all was well.

help! phone wont turn on!

I tried pulling the battery out and volume down + power but it does nothing!
Did you run out of battery? I usually have to charge about ten minutes before it turns back on.

When you plug it in does the red light come on or stay lit all day long? Could be a bad battery that isn't holding a charge. If you had it plugged in all day and it didn't turn greeen.

I tried to flash a rom and when I came back I noticed my phone wouldn't turn on. It was fine charging the whole day. Now when I plug it in I get the red light for a second then it goes blank.
Nvm I ended to do some crazy random button and pulling my usb and it turned on? o.o
Ok nevermind. It won't turn on again...
Bit of a random 1 but put it on charge for about a minute unplug remove battery replace battery charge for a minute again and repeat this process a few times then unplug hold power and camera or power and volume down. Odd but it worked for me.

I had either the same or a similar issue a few months ago. I think I fixed it by pulling the battery while it was still plugged into the charger. I'm not exactly sure what it was because I was just trying everything I could think of when I got it to work again. Might help, might not, but it might be worth a shot.

Is my battery fried?

So I've been running CM9 nightlies on my phone for a for a while now and everything has been working great. I believe the last nightly I flashed was 5/12 or around there and I've had no problems with it so far until last night my battery was about to die. So I plugged it in to my computer to charge overnight. This morning when I woke up I noticed the phone was dead and was pretty warm to the touch. Now it won't turn on.
I have tried pulling out the battery and letting them both sit for about 30min but it still won't turn on. When I put the battery in and try turning it on the charging icon pops up for a second or 2 then goes away and sometimes it will flash on and off. I think it could be the battery because if I take the battery out and try going in to download mode it will turn on to the initial warning screen warning about flashing and what not. If i put the battery in at this point it immediately shuts off. I just don't know how it could go from working fine to not working at all overnight.
Anyone have any suggestions? The phone is only about 4 months old.
Use your wall charger to charge it.

Sorry I should have added that to the original post, plugging directly into the wall is what I have been trying today and still no luck.
He means why in the world would u plug your phone into your computer to charge especially if it was almost dead. Next time i would just use the standard wall charger from the get go if you're looking to fully charge it.

Every phone that I have ever owned with a USB port I have charged through the USB port from a computer, and I have never once had an issue. When I plugged it in the battery symbol changed to charging so I didn't think anything of it. When I woke up it was dead.

^ This.. I mean yes you can use USB to charge, but USB isn't as reliable for everyday use...
I pulled the battery and then let it sit for about 30 min and then charged from the wall charger for about 30 minutes and it still will not even turn on.
Order a new battery off Amazon or something.
Will it power on with the battery in and the wall charger connected?

I'm thinking that's what I'm going to do. Might take it to Best Buy and see if they can check it since the phone is only 4 months old. Not holding my breath on that though.
Phone will not turn on with the battery in while plugged in to the wall charger. I can see the battery symbol with the little circle when I first plug it in but it goes away after a second or so. The only way I can get the phone to turn on is if I remove the battery, hold the volume buttons and plug the USB cable in while connected to a PC. This brings up the download mode warning screen asking to continue. If i put the battery in at this screen it shuts off. If I hit continue with the battery out if shuts off. I guess the only thing to do is try another battery.
Does it taste like chicken? If so, then its probably fried.

Replace the battery.
welp apparently it fixed itself. I just left the battery in it and let it sit powered off for the rest of the work day and when I was leaving work ready to head to Best Buy just out of curiousity I plugged it into my car charger and it magically turned on. Now the wall charger and USB charging are working as well. No clue what that was all about but works for me. Thanks for the replies guys.
Bah same thing is happening to me with my sgs2. It just keeps showing the battery charging screen then going off. Any ideas?

Your battery should be dead. My dad had exactly the same experience as you did. Try calling att for a new battery if the phone still in warranty.
USB charging is just unreliable: different motherboards may even supply slightly different voltages. Although it doesn't make a difference in normal use, adding a near empty battery to the equation complicates things.

Drained Touchpad can't turn on (dual boot)

Hi guys.
Before sleeping I left the TP on the touchstone to charge and the clock appeared so I knew that touchstone was charging as it should .
Then I turned off the power button (when it was on ICS ) and when I woke up the TP was completely dead.
I tried every hard reset combination .....not working. I tried every charging method* for some minutes...not working.
I know that my original charger is working because my HP Pre3 is charging perfectly on connect and I suppose that touchstone is working as TP is getting warm on the back .
My TP is running the cm-9-20120623-NIGHTLY-tenderloin version.
I presume that is a drained problem as resets are not working. Not even the plug mark is appeared...(could it be something else apart energy drain ? )
What should I do ? I am completely lost now....
* car charger, original charger with cable, original charger with touchstone, pre3's charger even if it's not the right voltage.
When you connect the charger, do you see the home button LEDs flash/alternate? When it fully drains it takes a while before the plug symbol shows up... then again, I had a friend whose touchpad went bad and wouldn't power at all (bad battery?).

No....Not at all.
The home button never flashed even once.
But I found out today the solution.
This is the way that revived my so dead TP :
I charged for at least 15 hours the TP with a handsfree mini USB charger at 5v, 0.7mA (instead for the original TP charger of 2mA).
Then I holded the power button and pushed rapidly 15-20 times the home button.
I did the opposite holding the home button and pushed rapidly 15-20 times the power button.
I really do not know which one of these two combinations make the TP wake up.
After two-three minutes after my attempts the plug icon appeared on the screen and I rapidly connected with the original TP charger via cable. Home button was glowing for first time after days.
After half an hour moboot menu appeared and I choosed fast to boot on the webos. That's it !!
It now is charging on webos nice and easy. To be sure that I am not going to live this situation again I choosed to boot on Webos by default instead of ICS through Cyboot.
Till these wonderfull guys stabilize the ICS for the TP use cyboot to avoid such problems.
Same exact issue and rom here ... thank u so much for this thread sir....I am attempting ur fix riiiiight now ....cross fingers for me !!!!

Try to not let the touchpad's battery get drained cause I got 2 that died because it was drained too often had to call for rma twice process is quite simple if yours turns on it's a good sign just leave it on the charger
After recovering from this problem once in the past, I am currently fighting it again with less success. I've had a good year run with my Touchpad and I have no intention of sending it back or trying to fight with HP. Can anyone point me to posts where anyone has had any success removing and recharging the battery directly? I intend to keep fighting this to the end, so any suggestions on that will be appreciated.

I have had this problem only once and don't want it again. The only way I could bring it back to life was by placing on my touchstone charger and it booted and continued to charge after a couple of hours , all thanks to REVERAND Kyle.
I have had this happen too frequently. Use the steps suggested by others. Home power button slow charge. Usually the minute I get a little juice to boot I go straight to webos for the rest of charge. I wish there was an app/option to boot to webos instead off powering off or hen attached to charger. If I knew how to dev I would try it.

Finally got my TP to turn on and charge after pressing both buttons over and over for a min or so, then dropping it on the touchstone. Sheesh!

There is an app it's called Cyboot and can be downloaded from preware in Webos it allows you to decide what you wish to boot into and to change the delay time which I haven't decreased as Android is my start option and if I make it to low I won't be able to get back into Webos when I need to.
Hope this helps.

thats funny, my girls touchpad was doing the same thing. (though my guess its drained all the way dead for who knows how long.) But put it on the wall charger for a half hour. Pressed home button and power button for like 15 sec. and the held the power button till I saw the battery icon charging. Now its back to life.

Phone won't start up anymore!!

So, I left my phone in this girl's car like 2 weeks ago. She just found it today and dropped it off!! I plugged it in to charge, but it just keeps on turning on to the battery charging screen, stays there for about 2 seconds, then shuts down. I've left it to sit for about 1 hour, and still nothing is happening. I tried taking out the battery and pluggin in the AC power, but the buttons on the phone light up for half a second, and thenj go black. It does this time after time after time.
Nothing was wrong with the phone the last time I had it, and the girl says its been under her seat for the last 2 weeks. Any ideas on what I can do to get this thing to start up correctly?
Anyone?
See if it boots recovery.

My Roomba does that if it has not been plugged in while not in use. It discharges completely and loses 'memory' I guess. You could try
1. charging battery in a different phone and then try your phone
2. Try a new battery.
Have you tried leaving the phone overnite charging?
Buy a cheap wall charger to charge your battery off the phone.

I like toasters too!
Two weeks in a car, in California. Obviously charge is prevalent issue, but I've personally left my tablet, and spare phones dead for several weeks at a time, and never had that issue when I decided to recharge. Depending on your location in cali (south?) I'd say it's probly heat damage. Or if she drives like all the women I know in California, it's also likely that it's been bounced around a good deal. Try all the advice on regaining charge here, but if that falls, I'd jump straight to a physical diagnostic
