My fascinate will not turn on unless its plugged in. Once it turns on it runs fine. If you hold the power button to turn it on it will show the battery icon, but will not turn on. If you plug it in it will turn on and work fine. It also thinks its in usb debugging all the time. not plugged into anything and it thinks its debugging.
Very strange.
Are you on Froyo? Using a rom? You might have the screen of death. If you have clockwork recovery you can turn it on that way.

My son's had the same thing, left the battery out for a day with the intention of returning it under warranty, put the battery back in and it fired right up without an issue, and havent had one yet.
Another question, are you using the stock battery or an after market job?
Without one of the tweaked kernels, the after market batteries wont work at all...
I forgot about this thread. My problem is when the phone is turned off, it will not turn on unless its plugged in. you push the power button and you see a picture of an empty battery. You plug it in and wait for the battery to turn green, and the phone will fire right up. Tried a new battery, and nothing. I am going to call vzw and see what they say.
Any resolution on this? I am having the exact same issue with my Infuse (AT&T).

NP I had to do it all the time on my wifes alias.
Did you try a different battery?
At this point I would go stock and see if a verizon store will try another battery for you.
Good luck!

exact same problem as quoted above.
Some times the USB port gets gunk in it, try taking a piece of paper fold it a few times make sure the width is like half the size of the usb micro jack and slide it in to the usb port. fold it so it is snug but not tight move back and forth, do both top and bottom of the port but be careful on the thin side. basically your cleaning the contacts to remove and film.
Good Luck
If that still doesn't do the job chances are it's a hardware issue.

This is a very accurate description of the issue. I too am having the problem however it is on AT&T captivate. In my case, it only occurs when I am using a MIUI ROM. I have flashed multiple ROMS, both prior to and after discovering the problem and only have this issue when using MIUI ROM (Which is awesome in every other way). Two other things I would note. I have purchased another battery and it behaves identically, and MIUI drains batteries like a mother. Even swapping out a completely charged battery does not resolve the issue. Maybe someone brighter can explain how the phone "reads" the battery charge level while off.
does anyone have this problem with 'stock' phone?
I'm having the exact same issue with my Continuum. Thought maybe the USB port had issues, but it charges a battery just fine. It just won't acknowledge it's charged and turn on unless it's connected to a power source. Without a cable plugged in it just shows the big empty battery icon with a non-moving progress wheel on top of it for 3-4 seconds then screen goes black. With a cable plugged in it displays that, then changes to show the true charge of the battery at which time I can start up the phone. I restored my phone to factory defaults earlier today, but this problem persists.
Has anybody found any solution to this?

I have the same issue with my Samsung Epic. Anyone find a fix?
I also have this problem. I have discovered, however, that while I must plug the phone into a USB cable, that USB cable need not be plugged into a power source or anything at all. I can reliably (100% of the time) power up with a USB cable just laying in my drawer. I can also reliably (100% of the time) not power up without plugging into a USB cable.
In other news, I have also discovered that certain low-level actions tends to screw up lots of things. I can Odin just fine. I can flash ROMs, kernels, etc. just fine. However, I cannot restore a nandroid. Whenever I restore a nandroid, as best as I can tell, my partitioning gets all jacked up. When this happens, I can't do anything but boot into recovery (although once this happens, I can no longer flash ROMs) or Odin. Doing a full Odin flash restores functionality (in the sense that we all see where we need a USB cable to boot up), though. So ultimately, I think these phones have defective memory and that's what is ultimately causing this.
I bought this phone a couple days ago for $100 so I'm not out much (and can probably get most of that back even acknowledging the issues). Sure would have been nice for that person to have told me there were these issues. But oh well. C'est la vie!

I looked around and searched first for similar threads before posting this one.
On my rooted NT, I have noticed that charging only works when it is powered off. (I rooted immediately so have no point of reference to non-rooted behavior.)
1. When powered on and plugged in to charge(A/C), I look under Settings/Battery and it shows discharging.
2. Also, the light on the micro USB is green, not orange, if the NT is on.
3. I turn off, the light turns orange until fully charged then turns green.
Could someone confirm that this is the correct NT behavior? I was thinking that it should charge if plugged in whether powered on or off.
it charges on or off if you have the nook tablet cable plugged in, the only time you need the nook off is if you are using a micro usb normal cable via computer to charge, so in answer
no not normal behavior

Interesting. My NT was charging but after rooting it, it doesn't charge either. I did a search and came across your post. I blocked it from receiving further updates but that shouldn't be the cause.

Mine charges fine when off and have not heard from anyone on a solution or potential cause. As such, I just plug in each night with power off.
I did a nook hardware test and it detects the USB just fine but no charging from what I can tell when power is on.

I have the same issue. It started this morning. I rooted my nook yesterday using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354487. Before rooting my nook it charged fine while being plugged in to the wall socket. After rooting last night I could charge the nook (Plugged into the wall) while it was turned on. This morning I can not charge the nook while the device is turned on. Rooting and blocking OTA's using the link above is the only thing i have changed. Thank you guys in advance.
Also, don't have a problem, but I am scared to break the connector since I have heard it is really fragile, so I don't use it plugged up.

Interesting,,,, I used Indirect's rooting method and I am charging right now as I write this on my NT. The only differences I can think of is I used one of his earliest root versions (in mid November) so I don't have some of the later script additions. Also to block the OTA update, I just uninstalled the update service instead of the steps to get mine to show as version 9.9.9
To make sure I understand what people have done. You follow Indirect's rooting method, and then use TiBu to restore the DeviceManager app, in order to block OTAs, correct?
Nothing else? You haven't touched the /system directory otherwise?

Well like I said, I used an early version of Indirect's script to root. Then I backed up the DeviceManager app in Titanium backup (just in case I caused problems) and then deleted it completely. That's why I said my software version doesn't show 9.9.9 like others who have used the db version workaround.

Ok, so you deleted your DeviceManager.apk? I'll see if I can replicate your bug by deleting that apk. That might be what caused the problem.

Oh - I don't have the charging bug. I was saying that maybe I can charge because I rooted with an older version of the script and just deleted the DeviceManager APK to avoid firmware upgrade. Whereas others used a newer version of Indirect's script plus the work around to make the version 9.9.9
Not sure why some can't charge while on cause it works fine for me on my rooted NT.
Basically, where I am at as well. I've rooted numerous times, ever since the 24th, and I've never had this no charging problem.
Figuring out what is different about what they did, and what others who don't have the problem is difficult. There is nothing in the rooting process that should make a difference. Except perhaps if they all reverted from 1.4.1 to 1.4.0 ... Indirect, and I both can charge, but never had 1.4.1 on our tablets.
There could be something left over from 1.4.1 that is screwing things up? (Unlikely, but possible?)

That could be a possibility as I finally rooted after getting the 1.4.1 OTA. Everything else is fine, just the charging issue.

I had to downgrade to 1.4.0 using the zip to SD card method, before rooting, to mod the apk to version 9.9.9.9 to block OTA'S.

I used the Factory Reset option since my NT came originally with 1.4.0 so I didn't have to do the SD card. I'm thinking about (banging my head on desk) going back to factory setting and re-installing Indirect's files. Maybe after the New Year.

I started with 1.4.0; never had to downgrade to root. But since I rooted and blocked the OTAs using Indirect's methods, my nook will not charge unless it's off.
I'm not sure I'm all that thrilled with the Nook anyway, but this could be a deal-breaker. I'd hate top be in the middle of something and suddenly have to turn off my Nook for three hours before I could finish with it.

Just to be clear, you are plugging it into the wall, and it will only charge with the screen off, or completely powered off? If you are plugged into a computer and it is only charging with the screen off, that is normal.

This is plugging into the wall and using the charger that came with the Nook (when I initially charged it up, I used the cord, etc., from my Samsung Captivate. It charged up completely in about three hours).
The cord indicator shows orange, as if it's charging, but in Settings, it says, "Not charging," as opposed to "Discharging," which is what it says when there's no charger connected--and the battery continues to drain. I have the screen set to go dark after two minutes, so it spent most of the time "Not charging" with the screen dark. Also, it took around five hours for it to charge back to 100% from a low of 15%.
I'd really rather not, but I'm about ready to give a go to sending it back to stock and seeing if one of the other rooting methods will give me back my "on charge." That is, unless someone has some ideas for how to make Indirect's root and OTA block allow for charging regardless of whether it's on or off.

I'm not sure that I've seen it fail to charge. But I have seen some oddities with each CM10 ROM I tried.
What I do is plug it in while the tab is asleep (The LED is usually green). Normally the tablet will wake and the LED will turn amber. Then I press the power button to put it back to sleep.
I say "normally" because with one ROM it doesn't wake when I connect the charger.
By "oddities" I mean I think the battery stats are getting wacked, but I haven't been able to isolate it, yet.

While the power is on with mine, the charging light is green no matter how low the battery.
When I turn off the power the light turns orange & the battery charges.
My nook tablet also will not charger after a completely clean install of the 12/10 ROM. It shows that it's charging, and the cable is orange, but it doesn't actually do anything unless I power it down completely after plugging it in. Also, the n button doesn't take me to the screen set as default home screen, but to screen 1 instead, all the way over to the left, but installed app icons are installed to the correct screen.
The no charging thing is a big deal for me. It makes this ROM basically useless since I can't use it while it's charging. That means you can forget about heavy use. Everything else about it is awesome but once it's dead I'm stuck reading books on my phone while I wait hours for it to recharge.
Update:
Not sure what caused it, but last night I accidentally shut my nook tablet down before plugging it in, which made it come back on, then I shut it down again. Since waking it this morning, it is plugging in and charging as intended. No idea why, but it does indeed seem to be working fine now, other than the previously mentioned home screen issue.
Try a new cable.

Between my kids and me totaling two cables already. I ended up duct taping around the 3rd cable so that it would fill the gap between the surface of the table and plug which made it more solid. I cut of square so to see the nook charging led. I would try plugin in from in store cable or someone else that has a nook if it would eliminate that as a possibility.

Yesterday my dna died while at a dealership then I went to plug it into my car charger and the led came on to indicate charging. The phone automatically booted into the bootloader at which point I selected reboot phone and after that it went black as if there wasn't enough juice to boot and shut off. Since then the phone won't charge. When plugged into the wall, no orange led comes on to show its charging and after being left plugged in over night I'm still having the same issue.
I've got a lot of important things on there and I really hope there's something I can do.
Thanks :crying:

Make sure your cable isn't borked. For some reason, the cable wires break at the connector on the small end. Try a different cable. The orange charging light should come on after about 5-15 minutes of charging depending how dead it is.

I have this exact same problem; however, my phone came back in a few days? It seems to get stuck like that every so often but then comes back and has around 30-40% battery left. I am about to lock it and put it back to stock and get a replacement.
Were you running any ROMs? I'm running a clean stock ROM.
Maybe try to open it up and disconnect the battery. This is a common pro let on the Nexus 7 and usually people get it fixed by disconnecting the battery and putting it back on. If you feel comfortable opening the phone you could try that.

When you hold down the power button for 10-15 seconds, do the led's on the bottom of the screen blink? I let mine drain all the way out. Plugged it in. the orange light was blinking slow. I held down the power button until after the led's blinked 13 times. I don't know why they blinked 13 times but they did. held down the power button again and it booted up.
When you connect it to your computer, is it found as a device through ADB commands? Is it listed as a drive attached to the computer?

Glad to hear your back up. Good job. It could also possibly be that the battery somehow got disconnected. I wouldn't return it unless it happens again. Just try not to let it die and I don't think it will happen again. Or if you drop it, it may also disconnect. But I wouldn't get a replacement unless the issue comes up again.

Hey guys, I just did an update last night, the update was around 330mb, then I drained my phone completely, charged it, then fell asleep, when i woke up, I removed the charger, and the phone won't turn on. Tried pressing all 4 buttons, tried going to recovery, safe mode, and every other combination of buttons, but the phone won't turn on or even go to the samsung logo or blink or anything. Even if I connect it to the laptop, nothing happens. Screen is off, but even when it is not attached to anything, the phone is hot. Which means it is technically on? I'm thinking of letting it drain til it runs out of battery then recharge it?
Anyone? I tried all combinations, nothing makes it work, not even make the led blink, no vibration. Also, i tried charging it for a few hours, it just gets warm but no charging icon or anything.

I'll try later. I still don't have odin. But that would probably be my last resort. I don't want to lose all my stuff.

OK so I kept the phone charging and now I tried turning it on, nothing, but the blue LED came on.
Now the blue light is off again.
Trya computer to see if it is recognized. If so, just copy your entire folder from your phone, try to Odin, then if successful copy over your files

Tried that. It doesn't work. Oh and now that i tried charging with a wireless charger and still same thing, i guess i can safely conclude it's not the port. Maybe i need to try a charger with higher amps to try and wake it up?
Is it possible that the update does not allow the use of chargers that or not originally for the unit? And i used a samsung slow charger that night after the update, so the whole night the phone tried blocking the current and ended up frying the diode/resistor? Or maybe since i drained it to 0% it went to deep deep sleep?

No any charger should work fine it doesn't have to be official samsung charger. Do the touch key lights come on at all? Have you tried to connect to odin?

I tried connecting to the laptop, laptop does not read it. I connected it to odin but it doesn't show anything, how do I know if odin reads it? Touch lights don't come on, no response from anything.

Open odin, plug in phone and a box on odin will go blue and will say com 3 or something. If that doesn't work try smart switch

I think it didn't show anything when i did. I will check again later.
Is it possible that after the update, when i charged it didn't accept the charger so the battery got drained fully and now it can't charge? A technician said the battery needs to be "shocked" but they don't have the equipment to take off the back to get to the battery. Any thoughts on that?
Would it help if i charge it using a 3.4A charger for a few hours? Maybe that will wake up the battery? Technicians say that because it got to 0% it might have been fully drained and unable to recharge, what they usually do is direct charge a battery but in the case of the s6 edge it's not that easy to do since you have to take it apart...

This is possible, I had the same issue with an iPhone and I had to open the case and charge it externally
Anyone have any other suggestions? I would probably bring it to the service center on monday, but I think if i have it serviced, they will just forward it to another city since I don't think they do repairs in mine.

Official samsung charger should be enough to get it charging and working. Service centre sounds best option
