So my sister left he child unattended a few months back with her S6 Edge and she came back and it was in the bath.
Problem is that it turns on while connected to charge but instantly turns off when removed.
Battery states that it is charging plugged.
She is on contract and I told her to at least attempt to send it in for repair if not I will have a look and give it a clean until then any other solutions?

Our Cingular 3125 has seen its share of rough use. Our 2-year old got a hold of it recently and dropped it. The casing around the battery broke. Since the battery door would not stay on, the phone wouldn't boot. We sent in the phone (10 days left on the warranty at that time) and they replaced the casing and the phone now works.
However when on battery power, the battery indicator cycles between "charging" and "battery", just like you're plugging in the charger and pulling it out. This results in the external and internal displays turning on and off. It happens only when the phone tries to go into "sleep" mode. As in, you close the flip or with the phone open, you wait until the power saving kicks in.
Its been a couple months since we got the phone back (my wife switched to a different phone while the 3125 was being reparied), so the warranty is expired. I did flash the phone to WM6, but the phenomenon continues to happen. Any ideas?
failure
in this case it really seems like a mechanical failure - some shortcut most possibly.
Maybe someone here has good instructions on disassembly of the phone?
Hello,
Saturday I went out, my HD2 only had like 5% battery life. I used it till it went black. The day after I wanted to recharge my phone but when I plug the microusb in to the wall charger, no led lights come up. When I press the power nothing happens. Stays black, it's like a dead stone now. I did not flash the phone for the past 2 months, it's running android already a long time now.
This morning when I pull the battery out and put it back in and push the power button then a VERY short vibration comes out of the phone but then nothing anymore the screen and leds stay dark. If I try it a second time nothing happens. So I think the battery is 99.9% empty and I can't charge it anymore through the microUSB. The only thing I can think of what happened is saterday I took a bath and my phone was lying on the edge of the bath, it did not fell in the bath offcourse. But there was alot of humidity in the bathroom because of no ventilation and warm water. The phone was working perfectly after the bath and stayed working untill the battery went to 0% when I was going out. Is my microUSB port water damaged? The stickers inside the phone are still white. (luckily). Anyone has an idea how to fix it or what the problem could be?
Remove the battery.
Connect to the power supply.
After a couple of minutes, plug in the battery (while the phone is still connected to the mains supply).
Ok I tried it.
Took battery out. Connected to usb power cable.
Waited +- 5 minutes. Inserted battery -> nothing happens.
Won't turn on, no led lights.
BUT I noticed a strange thing.
If NOT connected to power cable : Take battery out, reinsert. Power on, -> some milliseconds of vibration.
If connected to power cable : Take battery out, reinsert. Power on, -> nothing, no vibration.
So if it is connected to power cable phone acts completely dead when I reinsert battery and push power button. But if it's not connected then when reinserting the battery and I push the power button then a very short vibration is felt.
Weird ... is there something shortcircuiting the phone when connected to powercable??
Ok,
I found someone on my work who has an HD2 like me. So I tried to put a 70% charged battery in my HD2. Guess what ... same result. A little vibration and it stops .
So now I know it is not the battery. It's the phone itself. I've put it now in a bowl of rice and hope next morning it will be magically revived. Maybe when I took a bath saturday there formed some micro water bubbles inside the phone and it still isn't gone by now? I am out of ideas. If this rice thing doesn't work I'll send it to HTC repair centre. They won't notice my hspl because they can't even turn on the phone with a charged battery. I'll guess they'll swap the mobo .. again. My previous repair was because my HD2 was in a constant Carkit mode (also a hardware issue). Sigh
Can you get into Bootloader Mode (Press and hold the Volume Down button, then tap the Power button)?
Nope, it acts like dead meat, even with a charged battery I could try from my friend his hd2. My battery worked in his phone. So it is my phone who is broken.
Think some hardware is busted ... Maybe some circuit is broken ? I just don't know . Now they must repair it for the second time. The first time I got the "phone is always in carkit modus" issue which is also hardware related. I hope they will not make a problem to give me yet another motherboard and yet another IMEI . That will be my 3rd IMEI on this phone then.
Hope they pick it up tomorrow .
K Update to this post.
I've received my HD2 back from HTC repair with a new motherboard / IMEI.
All is working now again .
I am afraid it can happen again . This is my 3th IMEI / mobo now on this phone after owning it a year and 2 months.
They now also didn't put a new "VOID" sticker on the screw
Also no "water detector" anymore.
It seems like they are saying to me, now if the phone breaks again, you have no warranty anymore. It's not my fault the mobo suddenly dies . I doubt it they just "forgot" to put new void stickers on.
Never take cell phone in the bathroom.. especially if its a touchscreen.. the steam from hot water gets accumulated inside the phone and ruins it. My friend damaged his 2 handsets already.. now he doesnt take it in the bathroom anymore

There are water dector labels inside the phone and if they forgot the VOID label then that is their problem. You have twice returned the phone and by replacing the motherboard they have admitted that the problem is theirs. So they already have a history of faulty phones from you and since it has been repaired by them, then they would need to show a record of placing a viod label back on the phone.

Well I also think that was the cause the phone died later that evening.
I think the phone went dead sometime that night because of the water inside the phone. Luckily the water detection labels where still white .
I never will let it inside the bathroom again .
As for the void sticker problem, I will contact them to ask why they didn't put on new stickers. If they don't respond I saw you can buy such stickers on ebay .
Hey everyone,
I have a rogers branded razr and it suddenly died while I had it plugged in to charge. It had about 20% battery before it died, and it was plugged in. Nothing seems to bring my phone back to life. I've tried the power and volume down button together to no avail. The phone's LED light also flashes white every 15 minutes or so. Anyone have any suggestions before I take the phone back to get exchanged?

Doesn't seem to be looking good. I've had the device charging for over half an hour now and the razr is literally cold.
Same thing happened to me when my phone battery finished , its wouldnt charge with the USB charge from pc just a flashing white light would appear at front of phone , then i tried charging with the mains charger and it woke the phone back up from that whatever it was
led flashes white means charge problem? you may try something different.

Just tried a different charger on the razr and nothing happened. Also tried my razr charger with my samsung galaxy s and it charges that just fine. Guess I'm taking this phone back Such a pity as it was such a great phone.
very died
My phone just died completely a week ago while plugged on my macbook usb port. The phone is new, o bought it last month and it's already dead? come on, i thought motorola had solved it's battery quality problem from more than 5 years ago. It can only be a battery problem right?
I'm really curious what should have caused this problem, because i'm afraid motorola can't guarantee this problem won't happen again! even if it takes a year! i'm worried to loose warranty and the battery fails again! and i bet it will!
Just can't believe how many people had this same problem!
I hope to receive a new phone from warranty or at least a new battery - and hoppefully better battery!

I had received the white light of death as i call it on my razr. Basically the phone abruptly turned off and then would refuse to turn on. Plugging it into any computer/wall charger gave a solid white notification light which means the battery is too low to boot the phone. So i left it to charge for a few hours but no luck. Just took the phone back to rogers and they had it sent back for repairs and the notes showed that a Level 3 part was replaced. I'm assuming its battery related but it could be other hardware failure as well.
Hello forum! Recently my phone died due to unknown circumstances. I thought it might have been water damage so I disassembled the phone and swabbed the PCB with isopropol alcohol and left the phone in dry rice next to a heater for 24 hours. This didn't fix anything so I took it back to the store of purchase and asked to test a new battery. Success, the phone turned on with a new battery in, however, when it was put on charge, the phone became abnormally hot. I thought this may be due the new battery, but it wasn't. After a small period on charge the phone paused charging because the battery temperature was to hot, I removed it from the charger it had only accumulated 30% charge and 20 minutes later the battery level had dropped to 2%.
Someone has suggested I was sold an aftermarket battery, however at the time the person from the store claimed they had to get a battery from a new S2 box.
So, I'm a bit lost as what to do next, could flash stock firmware and take it to a samsung service center, but I'm more interested in a possible DIY fix and the knowledge that comes with it.

Okay, yeah a return would probably be the best way to go about it. When I opened up the phone and had a look inside, the moisture indicators looked like a small white square with purple crosses on it. I would post a link, but new users with less than 10 posts cant post links.
But otherwise I think I'll follow your advice, and return to stock/un-root, I don't want to risk toasting the phone even further.
Thanks.

Have encountered more issues. Was in the process backing up phone. Turned off phone so I could reboot it into recovery and do a full wipe. But it refused to turn on, and doesn't show any signs of charging again.
So can't really return it to samsung or its place of purchase because it's still rooted.
What are the chances it the power IC that is malfunctioning?
I'm considering buying a charging/usb port from parts4repair, I've heard that the xda community has had good experiences with that website.
Any advice for a person in my situation? Bite the bullet and buy a second hand SII?
Hi, I seem to have found a critical issue...
so I was just normally charging my device, when I inserted the cable it charged normally, so I let it charge, but somehow it fried itself and after I checked back on it in about half an hour turned out it completely bricked itself. Nothing could turn it on. Either the screen fried itself or the phone was entirely fried, but there was no smell and neither the phone or cable was warm. Now I have to send it back to China and get it fixed since they only sell this thing in China...
Anyone experience similar issues? This was so sudden and without any warning.
Update:
My Xiaomi has arrived back from China and it has been fixed. Seems like a battery issue/charging issue as it booted up after like 15 minutes of charging. The battery has been replaced.
