So one day my phone decides to not turn on. No clue what happens, pull it off the charger, then nothing. I try to flash stock hoping that would help but it would go into download mode or even acknowledge the fact that it's plugged in. After repetitively removing and putting back in the battery then plugging it in to get into download mode, I finally do it. I think the very first time I flashed to stock it just turned off halfway through. I kept flashing stock a bunch until it finally worked. I boot up, but it won't complete a full boot. I flashed stock again and here I am. It is perfectly capable of making a full boot, but tapping it with a medium amount of force immediately shuts off the phone. I checked and cleaned the battery contacts- nothing. But that was the only cause I could think of. I've tried other batteries and it's the same. I don't know what to do. I don't know why it's doing this. Any ideas? What can I do to fix it?
maybe a wire or some thing to do with you're power button has came loose.

Power button? Why would losing connection to the power button make it turn off?

that actually happened to me a few years ago with my webos device.i'm just guessing what could be wrong, some thing had to have come loose or gone faulty...

How would I check for that? I've taken it apart many times. I took it apart recently as well, and everything seemed fine
I would check to make sure everything is plugged in securely and if possible adb logcat while tapping the screen to see what the out put of the log. it may take a while to pin point the problem but honestly I don't remember how I fixed that issue its been so long I forgot.

I'm having a hard time turning my phone on while its charging. It is difficult otherwise, but impossible during charging. Am I the only one with this issue?

Are you rooted and have clockwork? There are issues with it with power when off, not charging and could be result kept it.
I don't have clockwork, have the other one. Name escapes me currently.

This is one of the reasons I am going for the SGS2. Most times I have to--have to--do a battery pull to get it to turn back on. Sometimes the SDcard too. Sometimes it doesn't even charge. Sometimes I charge it while on and wake up to a green light, phone locked hard off (requiring battery pull and sdcard pull), and when I boot it up (if I can) the battery is completely dead.
It's a major issue with the 3d. There have been a ton of threads. And BTW, it happens on rooted AND stock devices. My phone died last night. Took me 32 effin minutes to get it to come back on. One of the reasons I'm getting rid of it

2 days before release I stopped into my local Radioshack to play with the demo phone. I saw it turn on, we played with it. Powered off...and never came back on. One of my friends did that eventually too.
...can't say I'm not scared of that happening to me.

It's not a glitch. For some reason, HTC designed it that way. If the phone is off and rooted, but still connected to some sort of AC power or USB power, the phone is actually in recovery mode, however, the screen just appears black. You wouldn't even know it!! LOL.....but, if you pull the AC power or USB power from the phone, and wait like 5-10 seconds it will boot right up, no problem or issues.
Crazy, huh? It may be a bug with revolutionary root; I reported it to IMFDM or however you spell it and the above is what he told me.
If you noticed, before you were rooted, it wasn't a problem. Don't keep removing the case and pulling the battery, just wait a bit after you pull the plug, It will be good to. Trust me, I go through it regulary!!
Hope that explains it for you guys...and helps you out.

Actually I absolutely noticed this before rooting...but back then I barely ever powered off. Nothing to flash, no way to flash it. I'm pretty sure it was just the same except we had much much much less reason to power off and reboot.

I never did. I could power it on no problem before rooting. Didn't flash anything (I like Sense, what can i say...)....anyways, I noticed it afterwards and maybe it is true what that guy at AlphaRev said, it is the way HTC designed it for some weird reason....
Not a big deal for me though, now that he told me that...

this happens to my coworker that has this phone, and she is NOT rooted. And the above method never worked for me. Ive done that a million times trying to get it back on. Thanks for the tip though..
This has happened to me as well several hundred times it seems! It also did it when the phone was new. We had gone away on vacation like the week after the 3D came out, my phone had died while we were out, I plugged it into the charger, went to power it back on a couple hours later, and NOTHING! Probably took me a good 20-25 minutes to finally get it to come back on, with me eventually pulling the battery. This was stock at the time.
My 2 biggest gripes with the 3D, signal/call quality, and the power on glitch...
Just wanted to share my strange experience with all of you. Last night I was browsing through my phone and notice a strange looking icon in my app drawer. I don't recall the entire name but I believe it ended with widget. Well since I didn't remember downloading this app curiosity took over and I decided to launch it and see what exactly it was. Upon clicking it my phone powered off like it was going to reboot and I haven't been able to get a full boot since. When I put the battery in it tries to boot up on its own. I will get the the Samsung logo twice then it shuts off. I can get into download mode for about two seconds before it shuts itself down again. If I plug the usb cord into it, it will vibrate every couple of seconds until I remove the cord.
Almost sounds like the power button is stuck but I'm not sure yet. Going to continue messing with it after work today. Any ideas anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.
This is the first such instance of it's kind, that I've heard about....
What Rom is the widget found in, in order for us to look inside the build for a possible problem ??....
Unless of course you downloaded it.....g

I was running Flappjaxx's base UCLF6 and had been running this rom for a long time. It wasn't in the rom as it wasn't showing on my phone the day before. I would love to figure out where it came from, heck I would love to just get my phone running again. It was in the apps list last night and that was the first time I had seen it there.
If I don't have any luck with it tonight I'm considering sending it off to mobile tech video's to try their JTAG service.
Pull out the battery, then insert the battery and put your phone in recovery. From there just reflash Flapjaxxx rom. Then freeze that app with Titanium BackUp.
But there have been a few members who had a stuck power button. And your symtoms sound right. That should be under a warranty, or any cellphone repair shop can fix it, or watch the toutube teardown video to see if its something you can do.

Appreciate the input ranger, I was kind of thinking it sounded like a stuck power button as well. Unfortunately, I can't even get to recovery so at this point my options are extremely limited.
I've used FJ's build forever as well, and have torn that rom apart more than once....but have "NEVER" found anything that would explain that condition..
I agree with ranger on the power button, but it sounds like a symptom, not a cause....
You should be able to restore the device from the samfirmware.com site I would think, as this will force push the original rom over for you. (closest thing to a JTAG without actually having it done)
Then flash CWM and restore from there......g
Wow, thats an ugly one there....g

Agreed, it sounds the exact same thing when my power button had issues. I took my case off and played with my button (without the battery) for a while, just kind of felt out what was going on, after that it hasn't given me much issues. But like Ranger said, that's covered by warranty so if you have a backup phone, that's what I would do.

Update for everyone. After work today I took the phone apart and played with the power button. While it was still in pieces I placed the battery in it and it booted right up. It was nothing more than the button being stuck and it just happened to be right when I notice and opened a strange app in my app list. Thankfully I now have my note back ! ! ! Thanks to all who gave me input
Does anyone's phone power off( seems to only happen in my pocket ) and won't power on until I hook it up to some kind of charger? This is my third replacement, got lucky to be able to s-off but, never had this problem on the other devices. Been running synergy 9-7, and superlte r133.... Stock kernel. No odd ball apps. Any help would be great. Tia...

I've been having issues with proximity sensor, only seems like phone is down until battery dies, looks dead though, look to the left of htc logo to see if you see a faded red glow. I don't think that any sense roms have issues with sensor though.
I'm gonnas go back to a 1.22 build and see what happens. I think its a defect in the phone itself though.

What did you find here? My phone is doing the exact same thing. Randomly powers off and will not power back on until I connect to charger. And when it finally boots up battery is at near 100% which means the battery did not die. Didn't see this until after running lazy panda and meanrom but even then, it was fine for a month before this started to happen.

My phone will power cycle sometimes when in my pocket and I'm sitting down. It does it because my leg is pressing the lock/power button. I don't have to plug it in to get it to work though. If nothing else holding the power/lock button for 10 or so seconds will power it back on. Have you tried that??

Yes, held power for 60+ seconds and also tried power/volDown for 60+ seconds. The phone won't do anything until it is plugged back in. I just can't figure this out. I did a hard reset and it still does it. I don't have insurance but the phone is obviously less than a year old. How does sprint handle cases like this these days? Is it in store exchange or a shipment to HTC?

It depends. Is the problem reproducible?? That's one of the things techs would try to do when someone hands them their phone. What I would do if someone gave it to me is flash the software with the RUU.
If they can reproduce it after flashing it with the RUU, as long as there is no abuse/liquid/physical damage, they will replace it in the store. The difficulty you face is being able to reproduce the issue in the store....
They should still flash it for you without being able to reproduce the issue. Have you tried different roms??
I would take it in to them and at least start the process. That way there will be a ticket with your issues on it and if it continues that will be good for you.
(BTW, I think you have to lock your bootloader for the RUU to run. And if they can't run it from the android OS tell them to run it from the bootloader or fastboot. (I know some techs know what they're doing but some are just new at it...))
So I have been trying different things recently and this seems to be EXACTLY as the OP described. It only does this when I put the phone in my pocket. I can be using the phone all day in my cube at work with no problem. I can cruise around with the phone in my car and it's fine. But if i stand up and slide the phone into and out of my pocket, it will be powered down with no way to power back up unless charge cable is plugged in for at least ~15 seconds. I've hard reset and tried different ROM...same behavior. I have not tried going back to S-ON (phone is S-OFF via lazy panda). Any thoughts?
Hperry,
I'm sorry to tell you but, I'm 100% certain that this issue is either a broken USB or from a board fracture. I tried ruu's and multiple wipes of main system to refresh the install but, nothing fixed this. What I did do take the device in multiple times to the same tech until he was tired of me coming in. No insurance makes it a $35 exchange. New phone in hand and no more shut downs.
I'm very sorry you experienced this and I hope this helps you.

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.

At this point the phone is refusing to do anything or at least appears to be doing nothing. Pressing the power does nothing and when plugged into any power source no orange led. I don't know how I would boot into the boot loader while the phone is in this state.

Thanks. I've tried several cables and from different charging sources, wall, computer USB and my car and none make the orange led come on. I've tried holding the power for 20-30 seconds to see if I could reboot it but that didn't work either. The phone has never been dropped on anything but carpet once or twice and never near any water.

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.

Cool. Keep me updated. I'm very curious now.
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?

Prior to disassembling it no, the LEDs never blinked when holding it down and when I tried charging it through my computer USB port it was never detected. Everything seems to be fixed now but thanks for suggestions. I still don't know what happened but hopefully it was just a one-off thing

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.

For future reference, my experience when my android phone had died, always plug the phone into the wall. If not, it takes forever for the phones light to come back on. Its happened to me a bunch of times. Haha

So I have a STOCK (no nothing) Verizon Galaxy S4 that is/was up to date as of 6/23/14. I think the last OTA push was a month or so ago.
A few days ago the device rebooted on its own a few times and I had no clue what was going on, but it stabilized for a day or so. Then yesterday it shut off and would not turn back on - the battery level was at least 80%. I removed the battery and reinserted it. I did not press the power button, but the device vibrates and displays the initial boot screen for about 3 seconds before it powers back off. At least I assume it is powered off - the screen goes black and there is no sign of life. The buttons do nothing to stir its slumber. I can remove and reinsert the battery for the same results.
I've tried POWER+HOME+VOLUME UP once inserting the battery - the blue text appears at the top but again the device shuts off after about 3 seconds.
Charger plugged in shows no light. However, when plugged in, the top part of the device does becomes warm on the screen and on the back with the cover off. - It actually becomes quite warm so I removed the battery but kept it plugged in just to test and it remained very warm. Unplugged now. Also it appears that inserting the battery does nothing now - maybe it's drained.
I'm pretty certain it's a hardware problem at this point, but I have no clue where to start. Has anyone ever had this issue or come across someone that has? I can take the device apart - does anyone know where and what I should be looking for as far as a loose connection or damaged component goes? Is there an electrical component diagram out there somewhere?
Any help is much appreciated!!
Have you tried getting into download mode at all?! I know you say that it won't go into stock recovery... But if somehow it got bricked then recovery corrupt be borked as well. Least if you can get into download mode you could try a no wipe image....
Also could just be hardware related in such case I don't have experience with that so much..

It is and I agree. Just hoping someone on here might've seen this before and know how to fix it. I may try replacing the charging port hardware to see if that solves it.

To boot into recovery you only need to hold the VOL UP+POWER. Once the phone vibrates let go of power but keep holding the up button. I let go once the blue text appears for about 2 seconds.

Thanks... but then it turns off after that 3rd second...
If you can't get into download mode only option left is jtag
If you don't have a warranty there are places that will jtag it. I would recommend using someone that has done it before but I would be happy to try if you want to send it to me. I have the equipment but have yet to use it. I had a hard brick and thought I was going to have to try and Jtag mine but the warranty company decided they would go ahead and replace it. Like any place else, there would be no guarantee it will work. Of course if it is a hardware issue, jtag wouldn't work.
Some repair places will test it for free. I took one in for a sound problem and wanted to check out the loud speaker. The loud speaker was fine and they didn't charge me anything.

Okay thanks! Yea, I'll see if I can figure out if it's a hardware problem or not. If not, then I may take you up on your offer.
