Going to ask a generic question.
The phone claims to have 'low battery' (DONT SAY A WORD ABOUT A CHARGER, IT HAS BEEN TRIED WITH A FULL BATTERY) and i'm unaware of the condition which caused this phone to be bricked. (Most likely a rooting failure)
I shouted it from an online auction, with 230€ below the market price
The phone can't be put into download mode by the regular way (And i'm unsure if the no-battery usb-force works, haven't got the phone yet)
I was thinking about flashing cwm, doing the wipes, battery log wipe etc. Formatting the system to a state nothing exists apart ODIN mode and after it installing the official new JB rom.
Has anybody got any experience with an situation like this, and how did you fix it?
READ THESE:
It's not a battery fault, another battery has been tried on.
It's not the pins of battery or motherboard. They are clean.
It's not the charger. (Seriously -.- I don't want to state that another battery has been tried to every poster)
The phone just says 'low battery' when trying to: Boot, enter recovery or download mode.
I DON'T HAVE THE PHONE YET.
POST ONLY IF EXPERIENCE. I'm not a noob even if i look like one, seriously. All i'm doing is just asking if anyone else had a problem like this, and how did you fix it. (Don't say use the search bar @ xda, i tried, didn't find anything.)
I think it's something to do with your charger.

Are you kidding me? The phone can't be set into download mode because the software fails. You can't boot it because it lives in a belief of the battery being low. It's not the charger, it's either the board or softwarez.

It's not the battery if another has been tried on.
Does it get confused and freak out thinking it's charging when it's not unplugged or anything like that? I had a similar issue, turned out to be the USB board that had to be replaced. It's a $10 part on ebay if that's the case...

You can't boot it. It thinks the battery is empty even if you put another battery which is full.
Did you try cleaning the usb port and the connection pins of the battery and phone ?
Also try usb jig to go to download mode

You shouldn't ignore checking the usb port as some users had weird issues caused by dirt causing faulty contact. I didn't face it myself but some friends of mine did !

most likely as the device looks 'completely new' It's been bricked by someone. I wasted my money on it, and i'm unsure if i did a good buy. The phone's all clear by the hardware side. (Unsure about the mb tho, could be faulty.)
I'm positive it's either the battery or the charger.

If you can't read that it has been tried with two batteries, the original and another which full. Therefore it can't be the charger since it wasn't used when the full battery was in the phone.

THANK YOU SIR for appreciating the time I WASTED to try to help you while you increase you posts count ....
1 . Plug your charger
2 . Try to turn on the screen 30-40 times by pressing the download mode keys
3 . When you successfully enter download mode
4 . Leave your phone for 15-20 min in download mode
5 . This way your battery starts filling.
6 Restart your phone after step 5

Meh, no problem. Just as i need to get my anger management. (Living without Leijonaviina is annoying.)
Got the phone now, no signs of life except "LOW BATTERY!! CAN'T DOWNLOAD!!"
Kernel panic? Could charging the battery on someone elses phone work? And will it respond to a jig? Mostly a general Samsung question
Did the seller dry the phone out properly before he sent it to you?

According to the seller, the phone has failed during a kies update (who the **** updates over kies? OTA ftw)
The phone works good. It's in the same condition he sold it. And it does NOT respond to the USB jig (yes, the jig works)

i upgrade from gingerbread to ics a week back with odin there wasn't any serious problem except for some java errors msgs,occasional rebooting and battery disconnected alerts. The frequency with which all this error occur reduced to some manageable level which was okay with me. Two days ago i tried charging the phone it, displays the battery charging icon but the white dot that moves at the bottom stops at the 2nd white spot and the phone acts like i just re plugged it, i have tried booting into recovery or odin mode with the three button combination all to no avail.

Try pulling out battery and wait 10mins, also check if u have enough battery left before u start odin again.
It's very strange if u can't use recovery or odin mode cuz the phone shouldn't boot in the first place.
I got the same problem my usb port is kinda broken, so i charge the phone with SGNote externel charger, but then my phone will act strange, It connects with charger and then disconnects when its unplugged.

Remove battery for 10 mins, then replace and leave to charge, even if nothing comes on screen etc just leave it plugged in and charging for a few hours or obvernight.
After that try booting up into download or recovery if still nothing happens try a USB jig. If that doesnt work your device is pretty much screwed and you will have to send away for JTAG flash or mobo replacement.
Btw, this has pretty much already been covered a million times in the other "my phone wont turn on" threads.

Hello.
I've recently bought an extended battery for my HTC EVO 3D.
Changed from the original 1700 to 3500.
Problem is, right when I plugged it into the phone, it didnt turn on.
The charge light would go on for about 2-4 seconds then turn back off.
I tried using the original battery and still get the same problem
Now the charge light doesnt turn on at all, and the PC wont even read that it's connected.
Is my phone bricked now because of this new battery?
What can I do?
Please help me

Yes i'm sure they're charged.
When I took the old one out to put in the new extended battery, it was at about 75 percent.
I left the extended battery charging all night (no charging light on) thinking maybe it was just really dead.
Still getting same results this morning.
No charge light, no turning on.
On either of the batteries and various charging units I use.

Can you boot your phone into bootloader (hold volume down + power button when it is off) ?
Any chance you're using CWM? If so try another recovery... also the battery could be below minimum charge level, which could be solved by an external charger

I've tried all recoveries, nothing works.
I haven't tried an external battery charger because I do not own one.
Do you think I should go into a Sprint store and ask if I could test one and see if that works?
I don't see why because like I said, I put in the original battery and it still doesn't do anything...

Your charger port might of disconnected from your mother board (basically game over), it was a fairly common problem on the OG Evo. I'm not sure if there is a fix for it, you may have to take it to the Sprint store for a replacement if they have one. I don't think they should charge you since it is a hardware issue but im not sure. Best of luck to you man

Hi,
Since 1 week now I have some huge difficulties to charge my GS3. For exemple when I plug it before going to sleep, in the morning there is only 50%. Sometimes I plug it and it stop the charge itself (not at 100%), i have to move the cable a little to continue the charge.
I tried several cable and plugs, nothing change.
Does anybody experienced this? What can I do?
Ps : I already read this post but I didn't find any answer.
Thx
I presume you charged the phone through the AC power? I had similar issue prior which was resolved once I wiped my Battery Stats. Is your phone rooted?
yes my phone is rooter I have omega V35 ROM and i already tried to wipe the battery stats and nothing changed
Im sure you have also clear cache, wipe, reflash the ROM? Its highly unlikely that all of your chargers are malfunctioning, If the phone is still within the warranty period, it may be time for you to visit Samsung Service Centre (SSC)...but unroot first!
same issue here

no i didn't tried to reflash the ROM cause it was working great with this ROM before, I contacted samsung and they will repare it but i need to find the bill first. Is it really necessary to unroot the phone? Installing a stock ROM is good or is there something else to do to unroot it?

unrooting is in reference to returing to stock ROM. SSC will invalid warranties to rooted phones.
i just reflash the ROM and the phone is still very slow to charge.
I will send back to samsung i think.

So different USB cables didn't helped? That usually does the trick. Other than that try kernel such as yank kernel which allows fast charging option.

First flash STOCK ROM and see what's gonna happen.
If the problem still persists, send your phone for service.
Make sure there are no signs of custom ROMs and Kernels.
Solution is the CABLE
Here is a confirmation of the solution from Turkey: It IS the CABLE...
Check the cable end that goes into the S3, if you see 5 places but with only 4 wires, it charges VERY slowly... However, I used a $5 charger which had 5 wires in the end that goes into galaxy S3 and voila!

All Samsung kernels have the detection. Whether changing the kernel or cable fixes it or not is not knowable.
all you can do is try. can you not borrow a cable to test it? Surely you know someone with a cable?

I have a similar issue here, although my problem only started with latest arhd 25.0 Rom, never had this with previous roms of arhd....some times the charge is very fast , then next time it will charge to 19% then stop, then next time it's fast then will be very slow... very intermittent, I have changed chargers. Still same results, going to try wipe the battery stats to see if that helps.

I have had this s2 for less than a year so the battery should still be good and has been up until today. I plugged my phone in last night to charge over night as I usually do, but when I woke up it was completely dead. I tried 3 different cords and many different ports and wall sockets and it still does the same thing, which is nothing.
The phone seems very sensitve as to how I have the cord plugged into its port. I have it plugged in now but I have to keep watching it because it will randomly stop charging. Well, it's barely even charging anyways. It keeps going back and forth between 6% and 7% charge. Would replacing the port fix the issue or is it a problem with the battery? Any help or info would be appreciated.

You weren't on 4.0.4 were you??
This looks kinda messy.
If you were in 4.0.4, as rat said, you could be lucky as you probably have a brick due to the brick bug.
Of course, your warranty must still be standing.
Why? Because it's Samsung's fault, not yours (of course it is, they don't need to know tho).

Well, I was just on facebook messaging my friend. My battery soon reached 30% so my phone entered power saving mode. Suddenly, my phone turned off and now it won't charge. When I plug in the charger, the battery charge sign loads but then goes white and turns off. I tried entering recovery mode (hold power and vol up and vol down), but it didn't work. I tried entering download mode using all methods possible and that didn't work either. I have Serendipity 9.4 installed on my phone and it is rooted. What should I do? Is my phone salvageable or should I just throw it away? I can't go to Samsung and ask them to repair it because I have flashed a custom rom on my phone. I am at a loss...

Look at ur micro usb port of ur phone as well as the micro usb cable that u r using to charge it and see if any of the contacts are messed up in either one and therefore causing it to not make good connection. Or there may be some dirt or something causing the connection between the cord and ur phone to not be good also.
Also u could try a different cord or car charger...

Also u could try a different cord or car charger...

Already tried all that to no avail. I might just have to return this phone and have them repair it.

I've had this happen before. After trying several chargers. In the midst of getting an S3 at Sam's Club, as one last resort I tried their charger and it worked. Since then I've purchased an external battery charger and always have a spare battery on hand.

Hello,
Well, I was just on facebook messaging my friend. My battery soon reached 30% so my phone entered power saving mode. Suddenly, my phone turned off and now it won't charge. When I plug in the charger, the battery charge sign loads but then goes white and turns off. I tried entering recovery mode (hold power and vol up and vol down), but it didn't work. I tried entering download mode using all methods possible and that didn't work either. I have Serendipity 9.4 installed on my phone and it is rooted. What should I do? Is my phone salvageable or should I just throw it away? I can't go to Samsung and ask them to repair it because I have flashed a custom rom on my phone. I am at a loss...

Going by your Name,I guess you belong to some part in Asia( India or Pakistan -Most probably), just like me.
Just go to any Mobile repair shop nearby and give them your battery and ask them to give it a "BOOST" it wont cost u more than few bucks(10-20 INR/PKR) and 10 min's.
Now insert in your phone and that should work.
repair cost

So it costs money to fix it? Nevermind then. I guess I am just bad with phones and shouldn't have one.

The fact you were able to customize your phone rules out the fact that you are "JUST BAD WITH PHONES" i have been doing this for months. There come times when I get a phone that just doesn't respond the way it is supposed to. I have two i777 that I am really struggling with right now. One of the previous posters suggested flashing back to stock. I understand you CAN'T get to download mode, that suggests to me that you require "JTAG" repair. I have seen that available for around $35.00. that's not bad. Search EBAY and google and maybe even here.
Goodluck
