Hey XDA,
My dad's Huawei G700 suddenly stopped working.
He used it for a call, put it in his pocket with about 20% battery remaining, and an hour later, the phone wouldn't boot.
I kept it plugged in for a few hours, took the battery out of it, removed sd card and sim, tried every button combination possible with no result whatsoever. Currently, upon pressing the power button, it either vibrates for about 5 seconds, or does a single vibration but the display does not light up either way.
The phone is 6-9 months old, it has always been kept in a filp case, never dropped.
Thanks for all your help!

Really hope someone can help me here.
I rooted, and put CM10.2 on my phone a month or two ago (don't play that much with ROMs, etc), but fancied a change from stock.
Anyways, it's been fine (although battery life not quite as great as before, but hey ho), this evening just got a WhatsApp message, dropped the notification bar down, clicked on it to open Whats App, and the phone rebooted... And then continued to just reboot over and over after 2-3 seconds (showing the i9300 Samsung logo with the red ! in the top left).
Removing battery stops this obviously, but weirdly when I put the battery back in boots straight away, and continues to just loop like that. Holding power, home, vol up/down makes no difference (been playing with this for about an hour now, and searching other peoples solutions, someone said 5 times wait, and release). Just can't get anything other than this loop, just weird that I can't actually turn it off either.
Suggestions please?
Thanks Gunja
Booting as soon as battery is inserted indicates power button sorted out, try wiggling it or seek a repair.
Yes I believe thats the case, as I have actually got it into the "Accept different OS" mode, stays there for 2 seconds and reboots. Nothing seems physically weird about the power button.
It did the sudden die thing a few months back, and I returned it to Sammy UK and they fixed it (due to 2 year warranty) in 2 days. It's still under 2 years old, so will give them a call. Was rooted before, but didn't show the red ! in the left left. Hope that they don't mind that, as this does seem to genuinely be a physical hardware problem not software.
If you just hold the power button on the S3 when it's booted, just it just turn off eventually? How annoying, 2nd problem with it in the last 4-5 months, wonder if will get another sammy when upgrades due in a couple of months. Lets see how their support is again this time round!
Random Crashing
I am experiencing random crashes where the phone stops and the LED flashes a few times before rebooting. At first I thought it was overheating, as the phone was quite warm the first few times, but it has just done it when cold. It has happened mostly whilst in the play store. It's crashed about 15 times in 4 hours.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Is there anyway to access the logs without root?
*** Edit ***
This must just be a dud device. I did a factory reset last night and it crashed rebooting. Will take back to shop and hopefully exchange for a new one.
Did u tried to repair it via PC Companion?
It comes from a bad battery voltage. I had One m7 and after 1 year this problem begin. They change the battery and battery conector and it comes to work good.
This happened after 5 minutes, it's been sent back to the shop now for repair / replacement. Shame, as it was a nice phone when it wasn't crashing!
I had kind of the same experience with my device I bought yesterday. Turned it on, worked for about half an hour before flashing the red LED a few times and shutting down. After that it turned on once again, booted halfway up, the red LED flashed again and it shut down again. Then it did not react to anything anymore.
Plugging it into the charger did not yield any reaction at all. Pressing On and the Vol+ button made it vibrate three times as its supposed to do, but afterwards even that did not work anymore. As a last resort I pressed the hard reset button in the SIM slot, which also made it vibrate three times without any other reaction.
So I concluded it was dead and returned it to the store this morning to get my money back. I think I will hold of of buying a replacement until all the errors that currently pop up are sorted out.
Also noteworthy is, that while booting up and in the time it was usable the screen had a red tint sometimes and touch was working rather flakily.
They sent me a brand new phone, so was def a dud. No crashes so far, finger crossed
Hi,
Just received my note 2 ordered via minideals.net on Saturday night and received Friday afternoon (paid extra for dhl).
Just got home from work and tried to put the phone on assuming there would be some battery power nothing, not a problem I thought lets charge it.
Let it charge and as soon as i plugged in the charger the phone was vibrate very softly then stop then start again and this keeps happening.
Left it on for 15/20 minutes and tried to turn on again and nothing - no light no screen absolutely nothing.
Tried holding power button and volume down together - the vibrating stops but nothing comes on the screen.
Any ideas? was looking forward to this phone hope I don;t have to try and send it back.
So after about 50 minutes of solid charging the vibration stopped tried turning on whilst it was plugged into a charger and nothing.
Unplugged from the charger and plugged in again and the vibration has started again.
Return it to the seller... I know it's terribile but i think it is faulted
remove security tape from battery ; )
<embarrassed> I have to confess I jumped the gun and made a total neewb error.
It was in fact the battery sticker.
I realised this after my second post.
Remove the thing AT the Batterie,
Hey, so, firstly I have a blue life one x. I love the phone and haven't had any problems until now.
I got an android update and my phone restarted, which has happened with the last two updates I got, so I didn't think anything of it. However, my phone was practically dead when this started and it restarted and got to the screen where it says "Android is starting... Optimizing application 1 of 143"
It would get to around 100 and turn off, restart and get to about 100 and turn off again.
I googled around and found a thing called bootloop. By what now seems to be a stroke of luck, my phone eventaully charged to about 40% and I got it to turn on and everything was fine but a few days ago, it died again and I ran into the same problem.
I went back to the boot loop instructions and tried it to no avail.
My phone has a fixed battery, so removing it wasn't an option. I left of the phone off the charger for 30 minutes and held the power button for two minutes(to discharge any remaining power?). Plugged it back in and it went right back to trying to boot back up and optimize apps.
I then removed the case, detached the ribbon that connects the battery to the board, held the power button for two minutes and let it sit for 3 hours. I connected the ribbon, plugged the charger back in and it instantly tried to boot up back into the optimizing screen and turned off.
I did all this again but left it for the past two days and now its back to rebooting over and over...
Things of note:
The light indicator turns red when the phone is connected to a charger, whether the battery ribbon is connected or not.
When it displays the blu splash screen, the optimizing applications screen, or recovery mode, the light indicator is off.
I can get into recovery mode, but I can't do anything before the phone turns off and reboots again.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hello!
So around a month ago I repaired the broken screen of my P30 Lite, I tested everything and it seemed to be working fine back then.
Since then it has just been sitting in its phone box on my shelf.
Now, when I try turning it on, it wouldn't turn on.
I honestly don't know what happened to it, the battery is working just fine and I repaired the screen a month ago and, back then, the screen was working perfectly fine.
@Vodlex
You can try to perform a hard reset also known as a power cycle to fix this freeze. This cuts the power to your phone entirely, forcing it to shut down and boot back up.
Don't own this type of phone - but that method typically does it:
Long-press the Power button and hold it down for thirty seconds or longer.
