I've been trying to find a definitive answer on this and did several searches of the forum. I found one issue which was similar here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413998 but, am not sure if it is really the same thing.
My battery has 100% drained on my Galaxy Player 5.0 . I am running a 4.3 ROM and Kernel, though I can't remember which off the top of my head.
Whenever my Galaxy Player is fully drained or is turned off, I cannot charge it properly through USB. I get a clocking/refresh screen, a white empty battery and then the system restarts and the same process starts over again. This has happened no matter which kernel or ROM I have used in the past as well, and only goes away when using the factory default ROM and Kernel. This loop happens regardless of using the wall charger or just the USB wire to computer.
I have tried timing the removal of the USB cable between the loops to get the device booted up but, when the battery is dead there is not usually enough juice to jump-start the player. The only way to fix it is to let the thing sit for hours and hours and hope that maybe the battery has somehow managed to get enough charge despite the looping.
Whenever the Galaxy Player is in this dead battery or powered off loop you can't get into download or recovery. Luckily, if the device is just turned off and still has battery power you can just remove the USB and turn it on. This obviously does not work when the battery is dead.
The biggest problem is not when the device is powered off but, when the battery is dead. It is nearly impossible to charge through the constant loop.
So, I have a couple of questions:
Has anyone come up with a definitive way to get out of these kind of loops other than installing the factory standard ROM/Kernal?
Is this something that has been fixed in any of the 4.4 kernels or roms?
That sounds really bad man I don't know if that's odd internal problems with your Galaxy Player or something

Well, I was able to get it working after plugging it in to a wall charger and some luck. However, it still doesn't explain why the looping happens whenever the device is off and the USB is plugged in instead of just charging. It also doesn't explain why when the battery dies and I plug it in, it loops instead of charging.

This is why you don't let the battery drain 100%.

So.. I have googled the crap out of this problem and seen loads of issues raised, but nothing solved.
I am coming from a Dell Streak and grabbed me a galaxy s 2 from craigslist a couple months back.
It has been running fine and I have tried a few roms/kernels and a few days ago I got the following error:
When charged to 100%, I get the notification to unplug, when I do, it sticks. No big deal but even when the phone battery has dropped to around 80% it stays.
It does not go into MTP mode or think it is plugged in via USB. Although, before this problem originated, the phone continuously vibrated between charging and not, when not plugged in.
I have calibrated the battery, tried a mixture of roms/kernels and I am now on unrooted stock. The problem still occurs and sometimes it does not recognise a USB connection, like today.
Probably worth mentioning that when turning on (and not plugged in) the phone does not turn right on, just boots into the battery screen and flashes between the battery charging and the overheating symbol.
Anyone got any ideas?

Turn off the phone and put it on charging. Once it beeps that its fully charged, quickly unplug the battery for 5-10 minutes. Should work and 'recalibrate' your battery

Thanks, giving a go now.
Do you need root to calibrate though? I am on stock firmware and not in front of a windows machine to use ODIN.

OK, charged to 100% and got the full notification.
Left battery out for 10 mins and whacked it back in.
Turned on and it went to the overheating sign again.
Booted into the samsung recovery and I can boot into android from there.
Battery says it is as 88, cannot calibrate as I do not have root atm.
Any ideas?

Get root and use the battery calibration tool from the market. The best idea so far. I suggest rooting with CF-Root, its fast and easy - its basically still your stock kernel but just with root.
If you really need the warranty or you'r scared of root you can install cf-root, calibrate the battery, then re-flash a stock kernel (unroot)

If i helped you, press thanks. Thanks.
Done and done.
Calibrated, even bought a new battery. Tried various other roms and appears to be an issue. Phone knows when USB is plugged in but does not seem to recognise the unplugging of the charger. And stays at 100% for a while before dropping down to like 80.
One thing to note is that this seemed to happen around the time of buying a dock for the samsung from Amazon, by Kidigi. I plugged the phone in to the dock without a USB cable connected to the dock and the dock LED lit up, making the phone think it was charging. Is this likely to have caused it/messed up the micro usb forever?
Thanks again guys!
well i think ive figured out what the problem was
Its due to overcharging or keeping the charger connected after battrey is full which has caused a hardware damage
im not sure if this is true but this is the closest explanation i can get the phone shows connected to charger even when diconnected only when i keep it connected for long time even after its battrey is full my usb connection has completely stopped working

well that the same problem with me when it shows connected to charger at 100% i restart it then the phone drops to ~80% battery although its 100% which makes the app battery monitor widget think i have a 1977mah battery while i have the standard 1650mah battery this must be the extra 20% which disappeared after the restart for me
I thought it may have been an overcharging problem, although no other phone I have owned has had this problem.
I let the battery charge all the way down (it stayed at 1% for about 3 hours) until it shut itself off. I left it on the side and it created a clicking noise, it was trying to turn the phone on as it knew the battery was in, even though it was depleted.
I plugged it in via USB to charge and it tried to turn on straight away. Shut it down and charged by plug until the 100% notification then turned on.
Still the same problem but one of my battery widgets warned that the battery was over voltage for a while before calming down.
If the phone cannot be off with the battery in, what could be causing that?

It has been known to be caused by a defective circuit board for the USB connector.
So, it needs a samsung return, I assume?
i have the same problem with overheating and usb plugged when there is nothing connected
i changed the usb port from the phone but it still having the problem!!!
i will try to put a new battery and see if it work and after post a reply
Alright so my Vibrant won't charge. I JUST recovered my phone from a brick, (I was having issues with the battery life on Slim Roms 4.0 compared to 3.9--in the middle of flashing back I accidently wiped my internal memory. As I was recovering it using Odin, my fat cat jumped on my bed and caught on my phone cord bricking it.) Flashed using Heimdall and was able to get my phone into working order.
Now, I placed Slim Roms 4.0 back on my phone initially after the unbricking to have something working on it, even though the battery life less than impressed me.
So I charged it like normal yesterday, got it to 100% and was fine and dandy with it working. (Still sucking up battery life like a vampire in a fat camp.)
So the update 4.1 went live yesterday, I flashed it immediately to that. The battery life was amazing! So I do the normal thing when I flash to a new ROM. Let it die completely before charging it completely. It's now dead and will not charge.
Symptoms;
I plugged in my normal cable for work (a cheap cable I purchased off of Ebay.) And up comes the round loading symbol. Followed by a darkening of the screen, followed by nothing.
One thing to note, is while it has it's loading circle on, the bottom buttons light up when I touch them.
My Steps;
-I attempted different USB ports since I charge through my work computer. No luck.
-I "borrowed" my co-workers USB cord and USB to wall plug. Attempted the new cable in the computer first. No luck.
-Plugged the borrowed USB into the wall charger. Same thing happens.
-Used my own cheapy cable in wall charger. Same thing.
-Took co-workers complete set and plugged it in in a different room. Nothing.
-Took out my battery, plugged in USB, placed battery back in. Nothing.
-Hold down the Vibrant buttons to get into Bootloader, it resets the loading circle and nothing more.
So now I'm sitting here wondering what to do. I do not have rubbing alcohol readily available, however since it charged to 100% yesterday I do not believe that is the issue, but I'd be willing to try if I had access.
Something you should know, I am using a Samsung Epic 4G battery in my phone.
-For those who might judge saying it is dumb, I have gotten 54 hours out of that battery on one ROM before, that is with texting, talking on the phone and installing apps. I'm fond of this thing, however I have my stock battery at home still.-
Any suggestions you guys have would be appreciated. I have tried things that I found on this forum and basic tech support to no avail. (I am at work so the things I can use are fairly limited. However cords are of no shortage.)
Alright, I unplugged my phone from being plugged into the wall charger for an hour and 3 minutes later it decides to turn itself on.. Not sure what's going on but I'm not going to complain.
So my question now is, can anyone explain this or help prevent this in the future?
From what I've heard draining a battery until it dies can damage it. But, I'm not an expert on that. It's possible that the battery needed more time to recover from the drain.

I had something similar happen when running lithium volt ROM. My battery completely died and the phone cut off (obviously.) I plugged it in the charger and it immediately tried to boot the phone up but it was bootlooping at the startup screen. I let it sit there for 20 minutes or so thinking maybe it is charging but as soon as i unplug the charger the phone cut off. Luckily I have an extra battery, popped it in, flashed a new ROM thinking that was the problem, turns out it was something to do with the ROM(maybe it needed a certain amount of battery power to boot up). My completely dead battery worked on the cm7 ROM I flashed, plugged in the charger and it booted up normally and started charging.

Thank you. I might just have to downgrade back to 3.9. It's almost a shame. xD
I'm going to test my old battery in this ROM just to make sure before I downgrade.
You need to use your Samsung usb charger, and wall adapter only. These two are the only ones that will actually work. I had this same problem and realized it was because I wasn't using the Samsung stuff. Even when pugging into the computer, use the Samsung USB cabe only. As for the battery your using... I wouldn't recommend it, no matter the fantastic battery life you must be getting.

Daw it's a fellow Samsung battery.
Thank you about the cable, I need to purchase another one anyways, mine at home seems to not be connecting very well. :/
ROM. some roms do that. it will not let you power up while charging if the battery is very low. you will get the circle and the battery symbol after. sometimes you still cant unless you pull the battery. happened to me many times
So the last couple of weeks it seems my player 5.0 is really picky on what kind of charger will charge it. At first all worked and then no wall charger would work only through USB. Then only a few cords I could barrow from friends now none at all but once in a blue moon. It will not even attempt to charge on 99% of cords. I have recently found out if my device is completely dead I can plug it in and it will do nothing but reboot till it completly dies. If I let it completely die and not unplug the cord it will charge and reboot 100% after a hour or two and be fine again but does n longer charge unless its own ignorant demand. I haven't tried switching roms cause I'm quite content with my current one and has no other problems software visible so I was curious on if it was hardware instead any ideas guys?
I've seen mixed results trying to charge with cables other than the one that came with the player. Sometimes they work fine, other times they work for a while then wont charge it. Most of the time, data transfer works fine. Might be some weird voltage issue or something with the hardware, but I saw issues with the Stock setup.

I think this can only be hardware related, right? Does the micro-usb port still look right? You could send your device if you still have warranty (or if you really need it repaired).. That will take some time, though
To clarify, is this distinct from the standard bootlooping problem where a device will continuosly cycle through a partial boot if it's powered on (or reset) while connected to another computer via the usb cable? If the battery is too weak to last through a whole boot process, the charging screen will flash on and off as it moves through that partial boot cycle.
If that's NOT the problem you're experiencing, I'd suggest booting into recovery mode and wiping the battery stats (it's under advanced in most CWM-based kernels).

Thank you wiped battery stats and my.cord I though I had wasted 20$ on started charging it right after reboot
Glad that worked. Odds are it was actually charging the battery, but android had the wrong info, so it wouldn't show as charging or warn you when the battery was getting low. This is a fairly common occurrence for me, which is why I never trust the battery indicator, and charge it whenever possible.
Hey everybody. I think this thread is somewhere but I looked and couldnt find any solution for this issue. I have a SGH-i777, rooted and unlocked and all that fun stuff. It was working fine until the other day when I believe the battery was drained all the way (wife's phone, doesn't take care of it). I tried charging it but only thing that would pop up was the battery sign for like 3 seconds and then it would go blank, wouldn't charge. I tried going into download mode and it did so I thought it was just the battery. I bought a battery wall charger and charged it. I then tried to boot the phone but same thing would happen. I tried going into download mode and all it shows is Low battery!! Can't download!! in red. When I plug the phone in to PC or wall, the battery sign pops up and shuts down. Any suggestions of what it could be? Bricked? Motherboard? Battery?
replace the battery..?

It sounds like a problem that I had which ended up being a USB charging port and I was in a battery boot loop and also was not able to get into download mode.first I bought a USB jig which forces you into download mode and the USB charger port which got my phone out of that horrible battery boot loop. And with no experience at all I ended up changing the USB charger port its very easy just look up video on utube.I hope this helps you and here's so pics of the stuff I bought

It could be the charging port, but I forgot to mention that I tried with a different battery after having it on a separate battery wall charger and it still gives me the same issue. Well actually now, the previous battery I had doesn't even let me go into download mode or shows any signs of power. The replacement battery that I am trying does show some sign of life by trying to go into download mode, but giving me the "Battery low!!, Can't Download".

I have fixed this issue by connecting 3AA batteries together on series and placing the positive from the first AA battery on the positive terminal of the phone battery and the negative of the last AA battery to the negative of the phone battery. You are basically charging your phone battery minus any safety precautions. Leave the AA batteries.connected.for about 5 minutes and you should be good to go. Reset battery statistics when the phone has booted and charged correctly.

Did you use wires? Do you have a image configuration to show me or a photo?

So I bought a new battery and I believe the batteries that I tried were bad. So I tried flashing it back to stock ics with odin and all works fine, until it tells me "FAIL". I dunno why its not flashing back to stock. I managed to root the phone and it roots and reboots and shows the galaxy logo but then gets stuck. I left it for a while but nothing happened. I tried to flash back to stock once more and it got stuck on odin and I bricked the phone, luckily i had a unbrick usb jig and so I took out battery, plugged it in and it goes directly to download mode and says
"Product name: SGH-I777
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official"
So I don't know if that means the official ICS is installed or what. I try flashing it again but same thing happens and it fails. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You.
P.S I have been looking for Stock Gingerbread, maybe thats why its not flashing, but doubt it. Where can I get it?
Now it also gets stuck on Samsung Galaxy SII logo after reboot

Go to the download repository (link in my sig) and flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries. That's stock Gingerbread full install with all the files. You can use the one-click downloader, or use the tar.md5 file with Odin. Let us know if that gets you going.

Easy Solution
A very Simple Solution:-
I have been seeing the same issue in my sgh-i777, and found an easy alternative.
you just cover the battery output points with a small piece of paper. and put it back in phone to get charge.
This way it will only charge; NOT start /try to start the phone and go into infinite loop of boot.
wait for 15-20 min, pull the paper pieces out and BINGO, your phone turn on!
The title says it all. My brothers Note 2 will only boot past the Galaxy Note 2 boot screen if it is connected to the charger. It doesn't matter if it is a USB or wall charge. If the phone is connected to a power source it boots into the system fine, however, once you remove it from the power source it turns off. I was wondering if it could be a bad battery but the charge is showing it at almost 80%. Has anyone ran into something like this before? If I try to boot the phone without it being connected, it sits at the Note 2 screen for about 15 seconds and then shuts itself off.
I'm not really sure but it sounds like the internals of the battery are closing up (shorting). Are you able to get another battery to test and see if it is the battery?

Running 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
Happened after installing few games .
Goes in constant boot loop
Can start by attaching power cord only to socket.
With USB attached to Laptop .. still goes in loop
Powerbank is workaround.
Seems to reboot when saving to sd card ..
Will keep posted

The problem, after getting a stock image back on the phone, ended up being a bad battery. The phone wouldn't hold a charge even though the charging image showed otherwise. Once you get a working image on there, try replacing the battery. I ordered an eight dollar cheapo battery from Amazon and it worked like a charm.

I second this. My phone went down Saturday. Thought it was something with CyanogenMod 11, but flashing back to stock did nothing. Replaced the battery, haven't had any problems since.

Thats first thing i did .. checked different battery ..
Battery is fine .. its not battery issue .. atleast in my case ..
i checked for SDS .. my phone has no SDS insane bug either .. though symptoms were same .
I have backup phone, using it.
I showed for mobile repair.
Said he will solve it .
So plan to take tomorrow.
I can root and all..
But after this booting dont want to brick it ..
So plan to do it via the mobile repair shop
Had same issue. Solved after replace the battery.
I have the same issue right now as well. I was on stock for awhile and used casual one click method, switched between a few roms. Than it started happening after that. So I flashed back to stock on odin and still have that issue. Havent figured it out yet.

I'm not really sure but it sounds like the internals of the battery are closing up (shorting). Are you able to get another battery to test and see if it is the battery?

I have had this issue and replacing the battery did the trick. I was having issues with the battery beforehand. once the battery showed as being at 17% the phone would start the reboot cycle and not fully boot until it was plugged in.
Have same problem here.....All these started when I replaced my bulge battery. New battery doesn't hold power below 20%. Phone goes off in boot cycle until plugged in a charger
Try to boot on USB/PC data connection
When connected t PC-system will boot to a point. PC indicates new connection then looses it and Note 2 returns to flash screen. Problem start when using corporate email and encrypted data. Works w/o error connected to wall charger. Disconnect crashes system. Flashes screen forever. No diagnostics. Did all SW reboots. Doubt battery, but will try.

Did you ever test a new battery/figure it out?
Mine is doing the same thing I think. I only boots if connected to a wall charger. If connected to PC with USB it will boot to the [T-Mobile in my case] boot screen, connect to PC for a split second (long enough to make the connection sound in windows, then I can't find it) and it stays on that screen. Without being connected to either, or after pulling plug, it turns off.
Same problem here with mine
can't be just the battery because it will stay on w/o charger when in download/recovery mode or if it gets stuck on the Verizon screen.
