My Samsung Stratosphere turned itself off sometime and now is rebooting to the Samsung logo, and then turning back off, and rebooting (a couple times earlier it booted to the main android menu, but turned back off immediately afterwards) and when I plugged it into the charger it acts like it's charging and then turns off and acts like it's charging and over and over again, even when the battery indicates that it's at more than half full.
Does anyone know what's happening? (no custom ROMs or anything, it's all standard btw). I took the battery out and everything and it still does the same thing when I put it back. I tried to do a factory reset, but the recovery mode screen always jumps away when I try to activate it (I press both Vol+ and Vol-, recovery mode screen comes up but goes instantly, then the phone goes into a boot loop again).
Please help, thank you!

Hi,
I am currently running a Slim Bean rom on Samsung i9000, but I had this issue also with MIUI before. My phone ran out of battery and now when I plug it in the charger, it shows an empty battery with the "loading" symbol and then the battery disappears for a second. And then it repeats.
When I try to turn to phone on with the charger connnected, nothing happens.
When I disconnect the charger turn the phone on, I get the standard Galaxy S logo, then an android logo with "powered by semaphore" text which flashes once and then the phone reboots.
I can get into download mode using vol down + home + power, but I cannot get into the recovery mode, which worked for me previously with MIUI when this happened (i would get into recovery and then restart and the phone would boot).
Is there something I can do to get the phone running, apart from charging the battery elsewhere? I don't have a separate battery charger or a friend with the same phone.
Thanks

Bump!
Bump please!

Hi, I'd recommend sending the phone into warranty, add the phone isn't rooted, you can't do much.

Had same problem on 3 phones. This is a connection problem within the phone. Disassembly & cleaning contacts often helps for a while, but problem comes back. Bumping the phone on the side or top, often allows it to work properly, for a short while, and so does squeezing it, in certain places. Get a new one, since the problem will re-cur.
Device: Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0
On CM10/PA
everything was fine til a bit ago
recharged via USB. The battery stuck at 100 and was kept at 100 for the whole day. After rebooting, it went down to 35%. Within 20 min, it went down another 10-15%. Only active app was Moon Reader, which shouldn't be that big of a drain. So I try to recharge it in the outlet, but the adapter isn't responding (green light). I plug it into the laptop via USB and it doesn't seem to register. So I turn it off w/ the intention of turning it back on.
Afterwards, I go to power it on, but nothing happens. I hold the power, power+vol buttons, but nothing except download mode. I plug it into the USB and hold power and it boots into that battery charging page (w/ the eight lines radiating outward, like a starburst) but quickly shuts off, then on ie it seems to boot loop. I remove it from the USB and hold power and boots into the charging page momentarily, then shuts down.
I've plugged it back into the outlet, the adapter registered (red light), and charged it for a few hours. I go to turn it on, but nothing's changed.So I flashed the bootloaders found on the dev site, which after resetting, got me into CWM. I tried to restore, but it failed. Error restoring /system. Every other folder was fine.
I then flashed the bootloaders, then flashed a stock 2.3.6 tar from the same dev site, which worked!
But after powering off, the same problem appeared (Samsung logo doesn't load, just the charging screen [even if not charging] momentarily before turning back off.)
So, trying again, first w/ the bootloader, then the stock 2.3.6..tar.md5,, I was able to d/l, root, upgrade via Odin to a rooted, CWM GB ROM- all w/o issue. When I turned it off, then back on, the same problem emerged (battery bar flashes on, then off)
Reflashed the bootloader, went to CWM, restored to an older GB, and everything went w/o a hitch. So it (the battery thing) seems only to be happening when I turn the device off. After some usage (aroudn 1 hour), it turns off by itself w/o any fanfare. Any ideas on what's going on? Fixes?
Thanks
Hello everyone!
As title says ,my samsung galaxy II (CM12.1 flashed) doesn't give any signs of life.
Here is the story:
I turned off my phone this morning and plugged in charger.After hour i plugged off charger from my phone and tried to turn it on.As it was turning on it got stuck on samsung logo.Afterwards i went into recovery mode and wiped /cache.Everything was fine.Then i went to "factory reset" where problem occured...while it was deleting /data it got stuck.Few minutes later my phone suddenly turned off.After that moment it just won't turn on.I tried to get into recovery and download mode but phone doesn't react.When i plug in charger it doesn't react neither. Battery was at 50% when i tried to turn it on.
Before this, phone was running fine. But recently it was freezing a lot so i had to take off batery and put it back in.
Im not native english speaker so don't get mad on my "perfect" english
I hope someone will help me diagnose the problem
Thank you
Goodmorning.
....the same here..... sadly.
This is what I know regarding that unable to turn phone back on problem, perhaps can solve yours.
We know the S2 i9100 (and maybe the other variants too) has "problem" with battery levels. In my case, it won't surprise when I got (for example) 48% then drops drastically to 3% after reboot. The problem sometimes also occur when I reboot to system from recovery.
Regarding to your problem, try to recharge your S2 until 100% (in this case, phone is off completely), unplug the charger, then turn it on by holding the power button.
If the phone still won't turned on, try this tips as it always working for me. Plug the charger and try to turn the phone on (holding the power button). If the phone just go back to battery indicator screen (sometimes the screen will blinking once), here the problem.
From here, you need to see what kind of battery indicator image shown on the screen. If the image is a battery indicator with round progress inside it (and doesn't change no matter how long you expect to it), you need to press and hold the power button to restart. Repeat this until you got the image with battery indicator with ACTUAL battery level and bar shown. When you see this, unplug your charger, wait until the screen is completely off, then holding the power button to turn on the phone. In my case, this is always work.
If for some reason you never get the correct battery indicator screen after many tries, try to remove the battery off, wait for at least 15 seconds, put it back on, then try the procedure again.
Hope that help.
Hoping for some help or alternatives to fix my fiancee's Pixel XL. Last night the phone just kept flashing the 'G' logo on for 10 seconds, off for 10 seconds. She said the phone was close to dying before it happened, and I imagine it probably ended up draining the battery afterwards with the constant bootloop. Plugged it in all night but the charging screen didn't come up and would just stay in the bootloop. I could get it into the boot loader (power button and volume down), but it wouldn't go into recovery mode and instead would go right back to the boot loop.
So I tried a battery pack to charge it and it still didn't show charging, but I was able to get it into recovery mode eventually, but still boot loop afterwards. At one point, after leaving it on boot loader menu while attempting to charge, it eventually just tried to start itself and made its way to the second Google splash screen after the main G logo. Looked like it froze there though and I couldn't get it to that point again.
On my way to work this morning I tried plugging it into my car's USB port after powering off from the boot loader, and this time I kept flashing that it was charging (looked like it was 3/4 charged but not sure how accurate that is). So I got into recovery again and tried 3 factory resets consecutively. Still bootloop after attempting a startup afterwards. There was a similar issue a couple weeks ago where it looked like it was stuck in a bootloop, but it turned out the phone actually was dead that time and the charger wasn't working. Once we switched chargers it booted right up.
Any other suggestions or possibilities? I don't have much troubleshooting experience otherwise. Phone is fully stock, Google Fi. Any other info I can provide please let me know!
