Hey guys. my Nexus 6 recently sustained some water damage. Did all the steps to correct the water damage. now it only boots if i plug in the charger and quickly hold the power button. it boots up and the battery indicator says its at 4%. if i unplug the charger the phone turns off. Im quite sure that the battery is damaged and needs to be replaced, but could there be any other damage as well? Thank you!

Hi everyone.
I have problem with my Dell Streak 5.
It was working fine until three weeks ago. First it started to turning off in some different situations. Then after some short time of working showed 0% of battery level and powered off. In the beginning I could to turn it on again but now I can't. I see that there is some issue with charging battery - after connecting to charger (car charger, docking station, USB, regular charger) it shows battery symbol with exclamation mark and 0% of battery level. After some time it shows 1% and after longer time suddenly it shows 100% but it doesn't show that battery is charging when system is down. When there is 1 or 100 % mostly I can turn on device - sometimes works normally when is charging, another time after system start it shows 0% of batteries and turning off.
When the system start and battery level is 100% I can unplug it from charger and mostly works fine until I don't make strong tap at the screen or put it to my pocket - after that it turns off and I can't power on it again until I don't plug a charger. After charger plug in it shows again that battery is empty...
I can't turn on Streak when is not plugged it to charger.
I made phone reset - it doesn't change anything. I bought another battery - the same issue beside that it shows 30% of battery level.
Had anyone similar problem? Any ideas?
Remove back cover, place a small piece of paper or cardboard that is 2 mm thick on top of the battery. Replace cover and charge battery. There is a chance that your back cover is too loose.
are you on stock rom or custom rom ??

I wish I could get an answer for my charging situation. See Q&A section "won't charge when off" if anyone thinks they can help.
My Verizon Galaxy S4 died today (RIP). All my attempts to revive it have failed.
When it died, it was on and charging with the stock cable and adapter. The phone would not wake from sleep, which is when I noticed it was fairly hot. It did attempt to boot when I held the power button, but did not complete boot and hasn't powered on since. I've tried pulling the battery for 5 minutes and replacing, using Volume Up/Home/Power, booting from charger without battery, booting from charger with battery, and tried charging it a while. No attempts have been successful, and in all instances the phone gets very hot around the camera after about a minute of being connected to the charger.
Luckily the phone is only 6 days old so I should be covered. Still, for a phone of repute to die this quickly is alarming. I should also mention that this occurred while using stock everything (ROM/Bootloader/Kernel/Firmware/Unrooted/etc). I've seen that there are a number of reports related to charging, and Samsung's move to offer free batteries to GS4 owners makes me think they know there's a problem with their charger IC.
Has anyone else had an issue like this of overheat leading to death?
Hello people, i have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 there with the MTK processor. I replaced the complete LCD screen unit as it had the glass broken. We also accidentally destroyed/puntured the stock battery in this process, as it was very tightly glued in and we could not get it out at first. Tool was to sharp. So we ordered a replacement BN-41 Battery out of AliExpress, in a time when non were widely available.
Now the replacement battery is already in the phone, but it wont start-up with it. Despite it reads of 3.87V at its pins. Its rated at 3.85V typical. When i plug in the wall charger, the phone is starting but stuck in a bootloop.
I can access the fastboot mode with the charger plugged, but even when i let it sit there for hours, as soon as i unplug the charger, the phone shuts down immediatley. Also, when i unplug the battery cable from the mainboard while the phone boots or stays in fastboot mode, there is no change in behavior. So it does not matter if the battery is connected to the mainboard or not - same behavior. This leads me to believe the battery is not getting used be the phone.
So i measured the pins at the mainboard where the battery is plugged in, and it reads ~4.2V when i plug in a charger...
So energy is reaching this connection point from the wall charger but its not transfered into the battery, nor does the battery transfer its energy back into the mainboard - even when physically connected.
What is the issue here? Battery dead/fake? It looks a bit different than the stock battery. I read the stock battery has electronics in it that regulates charge/dischharge?
Thanks alot for any information or guesses....
Allright i tried the unbelievable... when i connect the battery connector a 180° turned, it powers on even without charger, but still stuck to that bootloop. I can access fastboot, but not recovery mode...
Fastboot mode on charger loads up battery - voltage increases.
Do you think the Mainboard could be fried because they mixed up polarity on the battery?
Hello. I'm a new member here. So my phone couldn't be turned on, i guess it was caused by the age (it aged 5 years). Before this phone couldn't be turned on, it was in a low battery situation, then i plugged to the wall which made the battery percentage increased to 67%, then i unplugged it and used it until the operating system crash (hang) about an hour, so i decided to pull and plug the battery. When it's booting, it gets bootloop. So i decided to pull and plug the battery again. Now it won't turn on at all. But after I checked using multimeter, it seems to reach the normal volt which is 3,7v. I tried vol up+home+power(screen is blank), vol down+home+power(screen still blank), charging it to pc(no battery notifications), cleaning the yellow battery parts (idk what it's called) also the port, tried a new battery, tried charging it to the wall, and nothing happened. When it was charging, it created a great heat. Note that this phone had never been rooted, exposed to sunlight, splashed water, etc. Maybe i need a new phone?? Lol i don't have enough budget right now.
Hi,
My friend gave me his Honor 9 which was damaged by water (snow).
Phone was dead but after cleaning it and drying and connecting to USB I can see blue LED lit where the earpiece is. The battery is dead. Now: is there any hope for the phone, maybe connecting new battery could bring it to life? I'm not sure if I should spend more time playing with it.
Some additional info: when connected to USB it draws 180 mA, trying to power it through battery connector doesn't do anything. When power button is pressed for ~8 seconds current slightly increases (0,5 s) then goes back to 180 mA - I suspect the reset circuitry or even CPU is alive. LCD is not showing anything. Telephone is not detected on USB port.
Thanks for any tips.

No hope!
Unfortunately no
