What recovery were you running? I *think* that some versions of TWRP had this issue and of course clockwork mod also.
Twrp maybe

i my self have two OEM batteries i went to walmart in the digital camera section you can find universal chargers.. the brand i use is digi power it doesnt say FOR cell phone batteries but it is for lith-ion batteries most digital cams take. if its worth it to ya get an external charger and charge your battery that way.. you can find em for cheap on ebay but i dont mind spending thirty bucks on something i can take back to walmart if i didnt work.. just an idea, if you dont know anyone with a thunderbold or another rezound to charge your battery up

so, ive discussed IMO a very nasty thing about this phone I dont like. Of course my goal is to not let my battery die. But it has happened to me a few times. Im finding that after the battery dies, It takes me about 20 minutes to get the phone powered back on. Even if it is plugged into a power outlet. It simply does nothing for about 20 minutes after it is plugged in. Doesnt respond to power button, battery pull, etc.
So..I thought, maybe its a measure like blackberries where they wont power the radio back on until the battery reaches "x" percent. Doesnt seem to be the case either.
Ive had many HTC devices including the OG Evo, never seen anything like this...any ideas?
It's a mystery to me as well. It's happened a couple times to me. The only way I could power it on is by letting it sit on the charger for several minutes.
I think it might have to do with the way we rooted them. The developer mentioned an issue with letting the power go dead. It may not be a problem if you are in fast boot mode.
Hmmm...............

Mine has a problem powering on while it is charging. I'll have to take out the battery and unplug it to get it to turn on.
im finding out that people who are using cwm have a problem charging with power off. Im using twrp so Im sure this doesnt pertain to me..but its got to be something kernel or recovery related. im gonna ask over in vipers thread and see what kind of answers I get
Happens to me often as well. When I plug mines in, its usually good to go about 2 minutes after the red light stops blinking.

Damn, that sucks. I'm using TWRP I also suspect it may have something to do with clockwork. Although it could just be that the battery needs to charge to a certain point for the phone to kick in. Who knows.. LOL

I just ended up trading mine in for a refund. I found the 3d offered very little over the original Evo, and mine had worse reception and call quality than the original. I am now using a nexus s until a better phone comes out.
Here's what happened
I rooted, unlocked, and installed Fourth Bar Sense and Faux's Kernel 0.0.8 about a less than a month ago.
Installation is a success, no bugs, glitches, and everything runs smooth.
3 days ago I charged the phone to 100% and reset battery stats since I read a post claiming that it could boost my battery time.
Today the Amaze runs out completely out of battery.
Plug it up, LED turns orange and leave it to charge for 2 hours.
2 hours pass when I notice that the LED isn't on.
Get suspicious. Try to turn it on. Wont. Try to go into recovery mode (
It's volume down, and long hold power button down right?) Nothing.
Would be thankful if anyone could help out.
What recovery do u have installed? Its probably one of two things, either the recovery you have installed is the older one that does not support off charging, therefore since its dead you will have to find another phone to charge it with. Or 2, your battery is fried...

I have C.W.M 5.0.2.6.
I've had problems off charging it before.
That's going to be near impossible. No one I know has an amaze, evo, nor sensation.
Should I take it to Tmobile and see if they can do something? Perhaps exchange it for a new one? I have warranty.
Just try letting it charge longer. I had a similar problem and it took a few hours to charge enough to be able to turn on.

Well, it's been charging for about 8 hours now and still won't turn on.
Something similar happened to me, and after plugging it in, unplugging it, replugging it in, taking battery out, and doing that for a bit my phone eventually booted up. If no luck, go to a TMo store and tell them you need to borrow a battery or phone to charge your battery.

Ok first off im on a verizon galaxy with the S4, but the forums are being mismanaged atm so I thought you int'l guys could give me some insight :fingers-crossed:
Anyway, Had the phone for a couple weeks, noticed that sometimes (like my previous Droids) it would overheat here or there. I was playing a game for a good while, maybe almost an hour, phone was a bit warm, next thing I know screen goes black. No buttons will revive it AND it goes into some vibrate mode. The phone vibrates probably a good 5 times. Maybe this is a vibrate sequence telling me my phone just melted? lol..
Ive let it sit and cool, and still no go. Every time I hold the power button I just get one little vibrate from it. Ive tried letting it charge for a bit (no screen comes on telling me its charging). pulling the battery.
My only option is to go to verizon and get a new one I suppose.. Anyone heard of this happening or know what that vibrate sequence meant?

See what happens if you pull the battery, wait for a few minutes. Reboot in recovery, wipe data/factory reset and cache and then reboot.
annddd.. Im a retard. lol. I was using my wireless headphone microusb charger which was well underrated, causing the phone to discharge as I used it -__-
And I guess the phone/battery didnt adjust to tell me it was discharging

Battery
I think it means ur battery is dead. In this case even trying to charge the phone will not work because u still need a little powe in the battery to start the phone and kick-start the charging process. only option you have is to get another battery or use one of them external battery chargers and see.
I've never had it happen on the S3 but a couple of times on the S1.
If they've not changed that, then it's sufficient to just let the phone lie there for half an hour with the charger plugged in and it will become bootable.
No need to swap the battery

In most cases the battery is not really dead, there are special chargers that have the ability to revive such batteries. I'm not too good with that stuff but somehow when the voltage drops too low the internal electronic in the battery which controls part of the charging process is somewhat shut down. These chargers I was talking about have the ability to power these internals back up and so get the usual battery charging process running again.
I'm not sure but for all I know this can save batteries but those batteries will most likely have reduced capacity.
Hope this helps!
For yours or anyones info: i have been using the s3 the last couple of days in 110 degrees ( Vegas area) for hours while navigating, charging and on full brightness, on the dashboard in the sun. No sweat from the phone

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!!

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??
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
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

yeah stupid me thought the button on the bottom of the screen was the power button. I pushed the the buton on the side and it turned on. I know I gambles buying used. I got it to turn on everything is working. so far its user error not hardware error. mess around and look at what I can do with this thing like rooting it. maybe installing a different rom. I don;t know if its possible if anyone knows of any good posts to help me get on my way it would be great. only smart phones I had so far was the motorola droid x and htc evo lte. I don;t know the process of the samsung phones.

I dont see why you need a speci chareger... most chargers are created equal. It takes like 5 hrs to fully charge... the phone screen must indicate the charging status.
you could have turned your phone on instantly while it is on charge
