So I bought an S6 Edge today. Updated it OTA to 5.1.1
Fully charged it up.
Got off a 1 hour call, the entire UI was very unresponsive
Tried rebooting, it was stuck at the boot screen.
I can only get it to reboot by holding down vol+home+power, to the 'custom OS' screen.. and then pressing down to reboot
When it boots, it says 0% battery.. and turns off
Has anyone experienced this. When I hung up the call, I had 95% battery
Can I add this is the third phone I have received from Amazon
1st one - Wifi didn't work
2nd one - 4g didn't work
3rd one - Seemed fine, now this is happening!
So the phone is off and charging.
I got the battery to come up, it says 83%
But when I turn it on (hold vol down, power and home, press cancel).. it says 0% battery, and turns off after a few seconds
I can't even enter recovery normally (vol up, power and home, held down until the android appears)
I have to use the custom OS shortcut, click cancel, and then hold vol up, power and home
I decided to try a new charger. After a few seconds I get this:

It said 98% a minute ago!
Could this be related to the issue?

Can't use that app as I don't have root..
you tried just holding down the power button and volume down button for 10 seconds to soft reset it?
Mine didnt boot up at all yesterday died at 80% battery, did the above and been fine since

So I used my nook tablet all day yesterday and this morning. I put it down to goto lunch.. came back and noticed my wifi was not on.. I checked settings and it showed "Wifi turning off" and it was grayed out and just stuck.
I've seen this before with other android devices so no biggie. I powered the unit off.
Now it won't turn back on. Holding the power button now for about 20 secs and nothing.
The battery is at like 80% and I even plugged it in to see if it helped but no good.
I did root it at 1.4.0 and used the Block OTA method with titanium backup but nobody else seems to have a problem.
Is there a way to boot in recovery or something ? Perhaps a trip back to B&N will be needed.
Ok.. holding vol down + power for around 8 secs got it back on. Weird
i have noticed this a few times. Not sure why but never lost anything

His happened to me once and I don't know what I did to get it back on. Glad that I now know, thanks.
Sent from my rooted Nook Tablet.

I had a similar problem. I couldn't get the tablet to turn on. I discovered in a Kindle Fire forum that you could get the Fire to start when stuck in the off position by holding down the power button for 20 seconds. I tried that with my Nook and it started right up.
Thank! That worked! I was having the same issue. Said Wifi was turning off and all went blank and couldn't reboot. You gave me the answer.
Cheers.
I have had the wifi "turning off" issue. Rather than turn off the nook, I used the menu that you get with a long press of the power button when you install either ROM manager or titanium backup, can't remember which. It has rebooted every time without issue.
The Wifi issue is a known problem. You can set the wifi to stay awake when on the charger and this problem wont happen. Add the power widget so that you can turn the wifi off when not connectwd to the charger. This combo fixes the wifi issue. When your Nook experiences a kernel error it will appear as if it is off but if you hold it at angle, you will notice backlight is on. Just hold nook button and power and it will turn off...then power to reboot rom.

Actually, it's happened to me twice while I had WiFi set to never sleep when charging.
Moved To Q&A
We now have a Q&A section. Please post all questions there
I rooted my Nook Tablet and it worked fine yesterday. Now it won't turn on and isn't recognized by my PC. I hear the windows alert when a usb device is connected but when I try to do anything via adb I always get 'error: device not found'.
I tried doing adb get-state and all I got was 'unknown'
I tried booting into recovery via holding the power button + n for various amounts of time, but nothing happened.
Does anyone have any ideas? It was working fine yesterday and I haven't changed anything on it since I used it last.
Hold the power button down for about 10 seconds. let it sit for a minute, then hold the power button for another 5 seconds or so and release. It should boot up. (assuming your battery is charged)

I had to do a reset (power button + Home) twice so far. Each time it happened after I left the tablet to recharge overnight. It did not turn on as it normally does when you unplug the charger.
I must admit that the (power button + Home) reset does not seem to be cut & dry. The routine quoted above worked the first time. The second time, I tried it several times then finally I tried the pwr button by itself and it went on.
Mine just did this Power and vol down got it running again.
Just flashed AOKP b38 and it has been running well. I encountered a weird problem today. I ran the battery all the way down, and plugged it in (into my laptop) to charge. The normal "battery" charging screen came up. However, it would not let me turn the device on with a long-press of the power button. If i held the power button for 10 seconds, the device would hard-reset, and go back to the battery screen.
I ended up having to unplug, turn on with the power button (which now worked fine) and boot up until the AOKP boot screen came up, then re-plug in. Once booted up, the power button worked fine again, so I doubt it's a hardware issue. I also tried holding the volume up and down buttons, and that did not work either.
Any ideas?
Update - fixed by flashing the subZero kernel on top of AOKP
I appeared to have hung my device out to dry a few times now. In the 'old' days pulling the battery and then replacing it would be the fix to be able to restart into recovery or fastboot etc etc. On the DNA holding down the power key until the 3 lower navigation keys blink has worked a few times although I am never quite sure if it's going to work (or exactly what I did). Most recently my phone was frozen in one of those "android has stopped working" messages and I could do nothing, I did the holding down power bit and got a message similar to: "continue to hold down power key to reboot phone for x seconds" x being 1 or 2 seconds on my device. It did not work (and was held for way longer than the 1 second)...after several trys it did manage to get it to work restarted and I was able to get into recovery and all was good. My question- is there a foolproof way to turn off the device or a proper method for doing so? That is when the phone is frozen or when the 'usual' methods fail?
You need to hold down the power button for between 10-15 seconds for a successful reboot.
Sometimes it needs to be plug into the charger or USB in order to reboot. So you plug it in then hold down the power button until the lights flash and it reboots.

i held it for more than 30 sec and still no reboot, doing it multiple times eventually got me there, the good news is i guess is it CAN be done-thanks for the info
So today my phone started vibrating continuously--it was on the HTC boot screen with screen brightness at very very low and would not stop vibrating. I held down the power button, and after 20 seconds of holding it down, the phone finally stopped. However, not it will not boot back up. I hold the power button down for long periods of time and nothing happens. After letting go of the button, sometimes it does a single vibrate but the screen remains blank. Power button and vol-down does not boot into the bootloader either....Can anyone help me fix this? I have no backup phones I can use...
Just some info about my phone, I was running the newest 3.17 stock rooted ota with Arcreactor kernel. I was also S-OFF via moonshine.
So I had the OTA update for 5.1.1 the other day and thought "yay, let's update." it worked fine till this evening where it crashed to a power off state and in now showing the Google logo like it's about to load up and then a turned off screen.
This repeats over and over I can't even stop this loop.
Holding the power button and it just continues to loop.
Power + ANY volume button and it will show the HBOOT or fastboot menu then before I can select anything turn to the powered off state and loop through (if I'm still holding the buttons the menu will show again shortly, or go back to the Google logo)
Any ideas for a solution?
try waiting until the battery drains all the way down then hold the volume down button and plug it in. if that doesn't work then all you can do is contact google support and they'll probably replace or fix it.
Hold the power button down for 20 seconds 3 times. It helped me once with a similar situation
So I have found a solution. Instead of deleting the thread I'll leave this here unless anyone else has this problem.
It seems that trying to enter the fastboot menu when plugged into a USB seemed to work.
It was either the fact it was in the computer, the timing I pressed the "power button + power down" combo, or it had just looped enough times and decided to actually stop interrupting me using the fastboot menu.
Either way, I cleared the cache partition using the recovery and it booted up fine.
EDIT: Thanks for the help, I had tried holding the combo for a long period of time (multiple loops of the booting). I also feared letting it drain in case it refused to startup again and I would have no chance of fixing it.
glad you figured that out! android can be mysterious sometimes. especially when it's on the nexus 9.
