So the other day I was using my phone (normal usage) and suddenly while using Whatsapp, the phone froze and wasn't responding at all. Finding no other way to use it or turn it off, I proceeded by pulling out the battery and ever since it has not booted back up or even charges. The only sign of life I get is the momentary sound my laptop makes when I connect the phone via the data cable but that too also lasts for merely a second and the disconnects again, it keeps on connecting and disconnecting. Any help at all would be grateful!
P.S I even removed the battery for a couple of hours, left it to charge overnight, all to no avail.

Hi to all
Hope that somebody will be able to help me. The battery on my Venue was completely drained last night during a phone call and the phone shut down. I connected the charger, waited for 30 minutes and tried switching it on, but all I got was the info on the screen is a pic of battery with 0% in it. I tried charging it overnight, connecting it to a computer, but nothing happened, each time I try to switch it on, I get that info (battery 0%).
The battery was ok, I was using it for two whole days before it drained so much that it shut down. I have no custom ROM installed, everything is completely from the factory. I tried taking the battery out, SIM card out, SD card out, no luck. Never had my battery completely drained before, so I can't say if this would happen before. Battery worked perfectly until now.
Found an info that it might be due to the battery protection circuit...? Unfortunately, can not take it/send it to Dell as I bought it in US, and I'm in Europe now. Any idea of what I could do? I would really appreciate it...
Thanx!
Ok, here I am, not to jinx it, but I think I resolved it. I tried switching on the phone again, but with no success. Then I tried entering the setup menu (or whatever it's called) by pressing 'volume down' key and on/off switch, in which I succeeded and saw the setup screen. I DID NOT TOUCH OR CHANGED ANYTHING, just left it like that, connected to the wall outlet charger for a few minutes. After the screen shut down on itself, I took out the battery (after unplugging it from the wall outlet) and put it back after a couple of minutes. Then I plugged the phone in the USB slot of my computer and left it like that for 15 minutes. I tried switching it on again and it worked - the battery was on 3% and the status was 'charging'. Now it's on 51% and 'charging'.
I hope that is the end of the problem, I will never let the battery drain out completely again. Just to be on the safe side, I ordered another battery from dell.com.
Hope this helps someone.
hi you, my V had that problem too, i shutdown phone, connect the adapter, icon battery show on the screen and wait 15 minutes then hold on power button, everything will be ok
i also had a problem charging with the wall adapter when i switched to custom rom (cm7) for 2 days but after 2 days it started charging from the wall adapter..
Thanks a lot people here
This helped me a lot
My dell was 0% when it switiched off automatically
I connected to wall charger in the night
Till morning it was 0%
I read above
But all I did was connected it to USB slot in PC
and left for 10 mins
Then started it
And it went on
No such problem has arised for me till now.
Actually im using samsung galaxy y's wall charger!As i had that in my room, and both uses same charger, i didnt change it and kept dell charger in the box only!
Though using data cable of dell for pc
Wall charger takes 2hrs max to charge the venue fully.
I'm in dire need of some help. My phone is a stock unit that has had no modifications to it at all. It started shutting off randomly a week or two ago, usually when I would use GPS, bluetooth, or the internet but it does happen when everything is turned off (GPS, bluetooth, and wifi) When I turn the phone back on, the battery would be totally drained displaying to a critical level. This would cause the phone to shut back off. I can repeatedly turn the phone back on, and usually one of the times the battery will be displayed with more charge and allow me to use it, but if I did anything other than make a call the phone would shut back off. This problem does not occur if the phone is plugged in and charging (never shuts off randomly and the battery does not drain). I have already tried factory resetting the phone multiple times and that hasn't seemed to help. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried a new battery? Sounds like your battery is on its last leg. It could also be battery contacts on your phone, make sure they are clean and actually touching the battery when you insert it.

I second this, I had the same issue a couple years ago with my g1, a new battery made it run like new again.

what ROM are you using? are you overclocked? I had similar problem with some roms overclocked, my phone would shut down, restart, battery drain was horrible!! during calls would be the most annoying it would turn off and was walking have a conversation with the plastic by my ear .after some research and testing the problem was my overclocking was unstable at 1.2 + running on 1ghz after a while the problem went away
Your phone will restart or shutdowns randomly..if
1.You overclocked GPU or CPU to high performance.
2.You flashed any unwanted zip files for performance or somewhat.
3.You make the phone very heat[Main Reason].
Instructions:
1.Avoid playing high end games for long time(Like me).
2.Avoid playing high end or medium games above 20mins. while charging.
3.Don't allow your phone to heat.(Due to temperature).
4.Try Re-flashing your current Rom(if you installed custom rom).
5.Try flashing your phone.
6.Check your phone completely for viruses with a better antivirus.
7.If the problem is after installing some apps..Try uninstalling that.
Thats all i Know!
happened to me before more than once I agree that you should get a new battery but if you have to wait in the meantime, what I did was:
1. pull the battery out let the phone cool down
2. I put it back in and turned it on
3. If it turns on okay drain the battery till it shuts off by playing music
3. repeat 1 and 2 and if it turns on okay again repeat step 3
4. if not then let it stay off and charge it to maximum and it should be useable
I did this because I assumed that the phone for some reason wasn't reading the battery levels properly so I made sure that the battery was fully drained then charged it to max to fix that. It worked for me but its just to make the phone useable as I still needed a new battery. It drained very quickly and I had to be charging even 3-4 times a day on heavy use but if I only made phone calls and texts it got me through one day.
Ok here is my problem, only started recently, was rooted and romed but when I connected the charger it was going on charge and off charge, even without moving the cable, so I thought there was a problem, tried it with a new/different cable and it was fine for a while, tried it on the computer and it worked great, but at that point I decided to go back to total stock in case I need to send it back,while trying to use ODIN it was on and off every few seconds (so the problem came back even on the computer), the phone was sat completely still, anyway I finally used used triangle away, and after many disconnections while flashing back to stock through odin, my phone seemed fined for a few days at least.
Now last night I put on to charge as usual, and I woke up this morning with my battery on 48% and my screen lit up, it had been lit up all night, (and no the option to keep the screen awake is not enabled) so my phone didn't charge and the screen was on, now I tried this on a car charger and another computer and it wont put the screen to sleep until I press the sleep button also its on/ff charge all the time
Any Ideas other than a loose Micro usb female connection in the phone?
Hi Guys, About 2.5 months ago i bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 which has been working fine (although a few times the battery has strangely emptied without being used in just 4-6 hours. However this Saturday i was at a car show and i was taking lots of pictures and videos, but when my battery started to run low i began to switch the phone on and off between each shot to save the battery. As i was heading to the car to leave, the battery ran out, so i quickly plugged it to the car, then the 'battery is charging' symbol appeared for a second then BLANK...since then the phone hasn't switched on, or vibrated, or made a noise or anything...its DEAD. When i charge the phone it heats up and gets very hot. I really don't know what to do to get it alive again, any advice would be highly appreciated!!!

2.5 months means your phone is under warranty so without thinking anything just go to Samsung service center ....it will be best for you as well as for your phone ......
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 running stock firmware, unrooted and bootloader locked. Ever since a few months ago, I've noticed my phone having some problems such as it randomly shutting off around 20%. Over time, this battery percentage increased until I essentially had to keep it plugged in to turn on. Now it will be at full charge, and still won't get past the Samsung Logo or if it does, it will restart in around 1-2 seconds after getting to the phone lock screen. During this time, the battery percentage is still fully charged and nothing else is abnormal. I noticed something else as well before it got to the state. If I was not connected to the internet the phone will not restart when it runs low on battery, but as soon as I do connect it restarts. I've considered getting a new battery, but is there anything else I can do for the time being?

Edit: I managed to get it to turn on for longer than 5 seconds and turned on flight mode and now it does not turn off (while plugged in). I'm going to do a backup real quick.
