Has anyone else have difficultly charging the Galaxy 5 (USA) with a laptop or desktop while the device is off? It consistently restarts, when i have it connected to my laptop (while the device is off, instead of the battery showing to charge it restarts) and is the only issue I truly have with the kernel. If anyone has any insight, or a fixture to this issue I would appreciate it.
That's just an example of the bootlooping that's a known issue. If the device is connected to a computer when it boots (or reboots) it gets stuck in a loop. For more info, search this forum for bootlooping.
have you tried reflashing the kernel yet?

It will do that with any kernel (GB at least). The only fix is to charge it while it's on, or try to find a USB charging only cable (that only has wires for power and not data) so it thinks it's plugged into a wall.

I've noticed this issue with my dad's SGP4 when we are using a custom kernel. For the most part, I just leave my device on and that works.

My new AT&T Galaxy S II rebooted after USB cable connection when Android running up and in powered off state (battery charging animation is flicking - seems like reboot loops on charging state).
The interesting point is: In Downloading mode all things running as regular and i'm able re-flash the phone using usb cable.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hmm this is a odd problem i dont recall hearing anything about this problem. You could try letting the battery sit for 10 minutes and then try again... I hope this problem gets fixed anyways you might want to call at&t or the company you got it from and look for a exchange.

Is this a third-party battery? If not, it's probably a loose battery connection.

Well you haven't exactly been around long, otherwise you'd know that this is a fairly common occurrence with third-party batteries. For example, it ALWAYS happens if you try to charge an I9100 battery (even an official one) in the I777. It's a basic safety check to prevent people from using the wrong battery in the 777.

A few more details would help us help you.
It's (should be) common knowledge that you can help fix something when you don't know what's under the hood.
Give us some info. Are you stock, rooted custom rom kernel etc.
Does anything occur on your phone at any time? Lights or a vibrate when charging? Do you get to the Motorola screen? If so Are you familiar with rsd and fast boot?
To get help around here we need to see a thorough post that explains all of the details. I assure you someone will attempt to come to your aid

Okay here's the thing:
the photon is unlocked and using 197 SBF
rooted and unlocked (cause i install the beat audio mod)
prior to this , nothing is wrong
the phone works normally
and suddenly it hangs / freezes when i called my friend with it
so out in desperation i took off the battery
and it never turn on since
totally dead
not even motorola logo on the screen
the battery is 90% cause i tried my battery on my friend's photon and it shows 90% charge
so i don't think this is the battery problem
i tried connect it to the wall charger, nothing happened not even LED turn on
i tried connecting to my laptop usb port and the white led come out but still it won't turn on
with and without battery, when i connect it to my laptop the white led comes out.
Try to pull the battery more times, I know that this issue could be from pudding sbf on some Photons.
One man from here had the similar problem, flashed derpunlock.sbf, booted and after some minutes it died, he had to pull the battery, wait a few minutes and again. After full sbf flashing, it was fine.

i've leave the battery out of the phone for more than 24 hour but still it won't turn on.
the weird things is that it was working fine for many months prior to this.
and i never do anything on the phone .
i mean i didn't flash or upgrade or anything.
This sounds like hardware issue...

if it is a hardware issues
why does the LED showing white color when connected to the computer ?
though the led is white when connected to the computer with or without battery in it.
can anyone please help ?
Try a different charger. Mine shows white when your too dead to boot. Left it on about 30 min then a battery pull and booted up to charging screen

AH! I'm having the same issue! No answers?
NOOOOOO!
yesterday the battery of my s3 was very low (around 2%) and i went to sleep without charging it. When i woke up after about 4 hours or so the phone was dead. I plugged it to wall charger but nothing changed i mean there was no battery sign or LED light. I thought the battery is completely drained so i left it there for about 15 min. When i checked again there was still nothing. I tried to turn in on but no response, unplugged the charger took out the battery then put it in , still no response. so i just left it there to charge for half about half an hour. Then i tried to turn it on again but still nothing. I tried recovery mode but no response. then i tried download mode and it did got to download mode. Now i thought it was OK so i restarted the phone but again it wont respond (Black Screen). I tried the download mode again(wall charger was plugged in the whole time). The phone did go to download mode but the screen started to Flicker and when i restarted it the boot screen(I-9300) turned up(still a little flickerish). and then it stuck there for a while. Then it went black. Again i left it to charge for about another half an hour. Now when i tried to turn it on, recovery mode or download mode Nothing happened, there was no response.
Then i started reading different threads on internet but couldnt seem to find anyone else with similar problem. Btw i checked the charger on Note and it was charging fine. then i tried to charge my s3 through laptop and the battery sign appeared and phone started to charge. I turned it after a while and it turned on Ok.
My phone is rooted , custom rom -Omega 39 with Custom Kernel Yank555 and Philz Recovery v4
Now my question is, Is there something wrong with my set? i mean the non responsive state and screen flickering. Should i get it checked or was it something that just sort of happens. Has anybody else faced a similar problem?. what can i do to avoid it in the future.
*Sorry for such a long post, its my first time. and i read about the S3 Sudden Death and now i am freaking out!..

I know this sounds silly but its not in "hardsleep" as some people would call it, where the phone is idle for too long and basically shuts its self down? Or it could be the sudden death issue associated with the s3. This probably isn't much help but its a suggestion, I've never come across this before

Ok so for some reason now my SGP 5.0 USA will not turn on right. Whenever I press the power button it shows the loading circle then the battery icon. Now I know what your thinking its dead. But it is not! The battery is always charged. Right now it is at 85 percent and doing this. Only way to get it on is to plug it into the outlet and hold on until finally(after many of the battery reboots as mentioned above) it boots up.
Also it will not stay on. As soon as I unplug the charger the device turns right off. It only seems to start up properly when it is above 95 percent battery. If it is anything under I am forced to have it in the charger. I am on PAC-Rom with Sultan Kernel R5b2. I do not have fast charge enabled.
This is really weird, anyone know whats going on? Is the battery just shot?
Yeah, it happens to me on CM 10.1. I don't think there's anything you can do about it, and if you're worried about it not turning on, why not just charge it whilst it's on? It also seems that both ROMs don't have a charging animation. I'm not even sure if I understood your question, lol.

It does not matter if its on. I plug the charger in and taking it out will turn the device off. If I try to turn it on it wont turn on it just shows the battery icon then turns off no samsung logo nothing. Im just trying to wonder why its happening. It has never been a problem before been using cm 10.1 since they first released it for the SGP 5.0 and this has not started happening until a week or so ago.

Do you try to turn it on when it's plugged in? It's probably the ROM that's causing the problem.
Yes have to hold power button for a good 30 seconds it will do the whole battery icon several times on third one it finally goes to system completely bypassing Samsung logo which is weird.

Did you try draining the battery completely (boot to download mode and let it sit)? That has fixed it for other people.
Can clearing the battery stats by recovery work?

I have just tried this with no luck. This really sucks Its hard to install nightlies and turn it off during the night like I like when I can't even turn it back on or have it reboot into recovery. Think I should try flashing stock then cm9 then cm 10.1 in order see if that helps cause like I said been on cm 10 since it first came out never had a problem until a week ago.

Hi guys,
I'm having some problems with my S2's USB port. I've been combing the forums to see if I can find something, but no luck. Let me describe the symptoms and everything I tried.
Whenever I plug my phone in, it doesn't show that it's charging, but the battery is getting filled. USB also doesn't work. Rebooting the phone with the power cable plugged in shows that the phone is charging. Doing the same with the USB only made it charge but not work in USB mode. The battery life is also crappy, as the phone never goes into deep sleep (not even with the Deep Sleep app).
First I thought that the USB board might be faulty. I exchanged that (yes, the revision matches). The problem still persisted. I then tried to reflash the device with different versions of stock ROMs (ICS and JB). Same thing. I then tried flashing the Siyah kernel. That solved a small part of it. Restarting the phone while connected to the PC will make the phone be recognized as a USB device. I also installed CM 10.1. Tried it out with the Dorimanx kernel, still nothing.
My next plans are to use the NukeROM script (tried it before, but nothing) and try fiddling with different ROMs. If anyone has any more ideas, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Tudor

Did you ever try to use another, USB cable, USB port or even computer to connect your phone? If not, try this first. It is just to make sure you are not trying to fix the problem on the wrong side of the USB cable
Oh yeah, forgot to mention. Tried multiple ports with multiple cables on multiple PCs.

I could live with the USB thing, but the not going to deep sleep is really a phone killer. The battery only lasts a few hours on idle.

I've been using it (even got the paid version). Doesn't really show anything useful. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, it should show me any problematic apps I have installed. Seeing as how I've been wiping like crazy, I don't think it's an issue due to some app.

If you think it's a hardware issue It would probably be best to bring the phone to a Samsung repair center.
Might just buy a new phone. I just wanted to see if anybody ever had the problem before.
