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.

So my phone was low on battery last night. I woke up this morning and it was dead. I started charging it but it won't turn on. I left about 3 hours ago with the phone plugged in and charging. I come back and my phone felt warm.
I just tried taking out the battery, holding down the power buttons, and plugging in the micro usb into the phone with odin. I managed to get it into download mode but whenever i try to put the battery back in, the phone shuts off.
Update: So I used an old usb cable and stuck the red and black stripped ends to the phone. I guess it won't charge if the battery's really loww?
Battery is probably so deeply discharged that the phone is unhappy, or the battery is shot.
There are standalone universal Li-Ion chargers - Staples sells one made by Lenmar I think. They're a pain in the ass to use but might be able to put in just enough "juice" into your battery to get it going again. Otherwise - buy a new battery.
Try pulling your SD card. I had a similar issue. phone was getting hot by the camera but the battery was cool.
Hi all,
I have recently come across a problem which I cannot overcome by myself and I would really appreciate your help on this!
Phone:
Galaxy S2 (3 UK)
FW:
CM9.0.0
Description of problem:
My phone will not charge the battery. When connected to a charger, it turns itself on and immediately turns back off as there is not enough charge in the battery.
Events leading to problem:
My phone has been functioning perfectly for about 5 months (on CFW) before this happened. I had noticed that my phone ran out of charge abnormally quickly one day before this problem occurred. I did not suspect anything, and put it to charge overnight. The next morning when I woke up, the battery was out of charge (while plugged to the charger!) and the phone was abnormally hot at the area above the battery connectors. During this time, the phone would not turn on. I then unplugged the charger, and let the phone cool down. After cooling down, the phone was able to boot into the OS, but turns off immediately after that due to low charge in the battery.
What I have done so far:
Following suggestions on this thread: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/36648-galaxy-s2-empty-battery-boot-loop/
I suspected that my phone's firmware/kernel had somehow been corrupted. I then stripped a USB wire according to the thread, and attached it to the appropriate battery connectors allowing me to power my phone and flash the FW+Kernel via ODIN. I have since then flashed various firmwares in this order in attempt to recover my phone: Lite'ning v3.6 > Stock (3 UK Branded) > CF-Root Kernel > CM9.1.0.
Current state of phone:
I managed to charge my battery a little via my stripped USB cable, and started up my phone. After booting into OS on battery without charger connected, I have found that the phone will not charge the battery when connecting the charger while the phone is on.
However, if the OS boots automatically when connecting the charger while the phone is off, the battery status will be "Charging", but the charge goes up very slowly. (6% in 20 minutes?) What's even more weird is that if I take the charger off during this time, the phone immediately turns off. While the phone is sort of "functional" now, I'm really afraid that it will recur if my battery ever goes flat again.
I'm sorry this is such a wall of text, but I'd really like to hear your opinions on this. Thank you so much for reading
Did you solved the problem?
I'm with the same problem.

Whew that was long.. but anyway, i suggest you get the external battery charger, maybe it will do you good.
Have you tried going back to stock and doing a full reset?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Have you tried a different battery?
At this point I'm not necessarily looking for any help, but would still be interested in anyone else's similar experience.
My phone has stock JB, rooted but unlocked.
Last night I set my phone on the nightstand with around 80% battery. Didn't have any reason to touch it until around 11:30am, at which time I pressed the lock button and got no immediate response. Tried holding down the button for a while, then, thinking maybe the battery had somehow run down completely overnight, plugged in the charger (Kindle Fire charger which I always have used) and held down the button until I got the LG logo and then the charging icon, at which point I powered it up.
It was at 50% battery when it booted up, which was kind of odd, and even weirder, it said it was slow charging, which it should not have been from this charger. I unplugged and plugged the charger in and it started charging normally. When I checked the battery history graph, it showed a normal discharge and then an instant drop from around that 80% level to just under 50% at the time I rebooted. So it had been alive all night, just unresponsive to being unlocked for some reason.
Hello guys, so, a friend of mine gave me his old RAZR xt910 after some begging, he was going to throw it away. This phone came to me with a dead battery and a shattered screen. First, the phone wasn't turning on, but would turn on and stuck on bootlogo only - with the charger (ac). I managed to hard reset it and load Android throu BP TOOLS (vol up down + charger), after taking the battery away, Running on charger only, - this was a new "gold" 3030mah aftermarket battery that was put in there by my friend one year ago. I was pretty impressed since it turned on without battery, like, wtf!. I tried to install CyanogenMod but could get to safestrap since it was asking for a battery ((?) image when on charger). Recently he brought me the old original battery - the one he tried to swap for the new one. It was all good, I put it back in and booted with 99%, but it depleted quickly. The phone refuses to charge it, wherever it is on or off, ((? Image when it's off, again)… it says OVERHEATING when it's on and then enters a cool down phase in which I can only do emergency calls, nothing else. On cpu-z it shows battery as Overheat at 80c (doesn't show variation). It also shows Overheat when without battery so I'm guessing this is preventing charge, but the energy flows well through the phone. Cyanogens turn the phone immediately off after optimizing apps on first boot (I guess it's because the wrong temperature data). I'm afraid... should i spend 15 dollars to try the luck on a new battery?, is the temperature sensor installed on the battery or the phone? Anyone booting from CHARGER ONLY, NO BATTERY INSTALLED getting "Overheat" status on cpu-z temperature readings? I would like to fix this phone to keep it... I like collecting phones.
After the battery depleted I managed to recharge it alone on a.universal charger, manually. I can't say its a comfortable way to charge it, but still the only way. Unfortunately I threw the "new battery" away so I can't say if it would say "Overheat " too to determine if it's a phones problem. Big fault
I recently picked up this galaxy s6 edge from a friend that upgraded to a new phone. It won't turn on, neither to android recovery, nor to download mode nor the android. I charged it via wireless charging overnight and i tried for around an hour with a usb cable. What do i do?
same issue i am facing, i tried original charger, wireless charger and fast chargers from many different brands. but all failed. The device only gets warm/hot while charging and nothing happens. neither download mode nor recovery mode works. I am kind pf stuck without any solution, my device was used very rarely and its like an brand new device. Doesn't know what to do, if you find any solution then please let me know too. thanks in advance
Same problem. If I press power button very long, blue light comes on. Then it's stuck and stays like this until battery is flat. Battery charging is not possible: device heats up (tried USB and Qi), but battery doesn't take any charge.
So I opened the S6 and checked the battery directly. I can charge it directly with a lab power supply and when I plug it in and press power button, the blue notification light comes on again until battery is empty again. I can also see that only ICs get hot, but not the battery when plugging in USB.
So, it's definitely some hardware fault. I suspect power IC that is not able to power up the screen. But I don't know. I will investigate further but it looks difficult. However, I have seen many YouTube videos with same symptoms, but problem was always different than mine :/
Hi guys,
This thread is 2 months old, any of you managed to fix the problem?
I am having very similar problem. My phone was on a shelf for about a year and a half. Before now it was working perfectly. Now I can't charge it via USB or power adapter. When trying to power it up or get into download or recovery mode, nothing happens. Computer does not see it. Tried different cables, USB ports, power adapters..nothing.
The only thing that is happening to the phone is the battery logo appears when trying to charge it, though the green bar does not go over battery, only the empty grey battery with lightning icon in the middle. Also the screen does not go dark after a few seconds as it should and the red/blue LED does not turn on.
Is this the signal from the phone, that the battery is to deeply dischareged and cannot be charged again? I am googling all over the web and can't find anybody talking about what phone does in case of to low voltage on battery.
PS back does not seem to be bloated, USB port was working perfectly last time used
Please try to help, you are my last stop before opening the phone and start probing the poop out of motherboard to see what gave.
EDIT: something interesting happened just about an hour after my post. The battery suddenly started showing % of charge and the green bar started running, computer recognized the phone.. as everything should be.
My FIX: leave the phone pluged in and charging for about 3days and it will start working again.
My semi professional explenation of fix and problem: the phone has a ''backup or reserve'' battery. It is actually main battery but the last I think I read somewhere it is 20% of capacity, is reserved for phone exclusively for the clock and all other electronics that need power when switched off. Now these 20% probably were discharged due to laying around for almost 2 years.
It took me 3 days of charging to fill up these ''20%'' I guess. Probably because Lithium batteries are charged VERY slow at very start and end. This is safty procedure for ALL Li batteries.
If any expert can confirm my conclusion please do so, to help other people.
To answer partialy to my question: The phone tells you battery is ''deep'' discharged when you only see the charge icon without the green bar.
In the mean time I was writing this edit I came up to 4% battery and turned it on!
