Hi I have two Samsung S3s and I flashed both of them with blisspop a few weeks ago. One I bought 14 months ago off giffgaff the other is about 2 years old off virgin mobile.
Both phones appear to run well when connected to the mains charger but when I take them off charge after approx 30 mins of use, the screen backlight begins to flicker and then the phone goes to the Samsung SIII spalsh and begins to bootloop until I connect the charger at which point the phone boots and begins optimising apps. When the phone comes back on it shows low battery usually 4% even if the battery was 75% when it shutdown.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas what the problem could be? I have searched this forun and Google but can't find the exact problem. When I first noticed it, I did think it could be the battery on its way out but as its both phones I don't think so and they both charged and discharged fine before I flashed them. I have also tryed cm11 and cm12 and the problem is exactly the same in all roms for me.
Thanks Paul.
Maybe the battery connection is loose with the electrodes.
just got my plus friday. got the best buy deal with the free wireless charger from samsung. its official oem charger. i am having problems with my plus charging for any long period of time. it will start out fine and after a couple minutes it usually stops charging and the blue light will just blink. or every couple minutes the screen will light up and it will make the sound like i lifted it up and put it back down. i have put my regular s6 on the charger and it doesn't give me any issues. just the plus. anyone else have this issue?
I have the same issue
Well it seems I am the ONLY person on all of the internet who is having this kind of problem with a Verizon Wireless Charger and the S6 Edge+. Friday of last week, the wife and I got the S6 Edge+, two wireless chargers, and 2 cases from Verizon, all the same everything.
My wife's phone has zero issues.
My phone; when placed on the wireless charger starts to charge, but then every percent it charges the phone turns on, beeps like I placed it down again and shuts off... it does this all the way to 100%, then stays off. It does this with or without the case on. I also swapped phones in other chargers and the wife's phone works fine in my charger and mine still acts stupid in her.
I reset my phone to factory thinking I messed something up and it still does it. Tried rebooting it and placing it again, same outcome. Going to take the phone back to Verizon today and ask WTF. Sounds a bit like a S6 Edge+ issue.
Mine was doing it last night. I put my plus on, it starts fine, then in a short period of time like u said the screen flashes and i get the ring like i just put it on the charger.
Other times it just stops charging and the blue light blinks. My regular s6 has no issues

Hi there,
I am using Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE and it suddenly switched off automatically when i tried to take a picture with flash on and when i try to switch it on back but once the logo appears it switch off again automatically but when i connect with charger it works normally but if i unplug the charger it switch off again and even the battery is 100% it shows 55%, 65%, and 75% when i try to on it back with charger connected and last week i updated to Android 7.0 OTA and this all happens after 2 or 3 days from updated. i tried all the solutions can be found on websites and forums but nothing works Kindly please help me.
Thanks.
Hi, I recently received an S6 edge from a friend, it was "broken"
When you plug it in to charge, all that shows is a static screen, which alternates between static and black, all the while with a blue notification led.
The phone does not respond to any button commands, except to turn black and then back to static
I do not know what model phone this is, i only know that it is from verizon and has 64gb.
The reason I don't know more is because it does not show up on a pc when connected through usb
The static screen continues, until the battery drains fully
My question is, it shows signs of being bricked, along with a possible digitizer problem, thing is this phone is fully stock, and has never been tampered with in any way.
Any ideas?, thanks
edit: could be battery related too, charged it the whole day, lasted two hours before it died
The only thing i can say is that the phone model is probable G935V as it's from Verizon, and it's hard bricked, you need to make a hardware check on it to know the exact problem.
Edit: it could also be the power IC, i had seen nearly dead phones before, and they just needed the power IC to be changed.
Hello, friends
Out of the blue, my S6 Edge tried to restart, but got stuck in a loop at the Samsung Logo. One or two times it went to "insert pin" and then restarted again. I tried to Force Restart and it didn't solve the problem.
After a few tries, I managed to wipe the cache partition. Now it's simply bricked with a black screen and a Solid White LED. I can't restart it, enter download mode or safe mode or anything. Odin doesn't recognize it at all. Is there anything I could try?
The phone is not rooted.

Hold only vol down + power for 20 seconds. Does the screen go off? Its not bricked otherwise you wouldnt even have the led lit. Theres hope

Thank you! Tried it. Doesn't work. It's beyond my understading why would it behave this way after I managed to clear the cache. At least before that it went into download mode or safe mode. I still suspect a software issue.

So vol down + home + power will not get you to download mode?
How about recovery? Vol up + home + power?
This happened to me before and the way i got out of it was hold only vol down + power as soon as the screen went off completely (no led lit) switch to download mode combo.
Tried both of the commands. They didn't work. I will let it drain the battery completely and then see what happens.

reminds me of the bad emmc memory like the note 4s had.
some times completly letting the battery drain can fix it being "stuck". then recharge for 20 min or so then trying to turn on.
if u plug it into pc does it reconize anything in device manager
even unknown device or descriptor failed anythiing at all?
This morning the LED was off, so I tried to recharge it. Nothing happens. Also, the PC doesn't detect it at all. I think it's safe to assume I need a new phone. Too bad...at least if I was able to recover the data on this.

now one last sollution is to try buying a cheap battery my note 5 had a issue it shut of one day and wouldnt do nothing i understand ures was blinkik and trying at least
so its a leap but last resort
same problem here started over a week ago - samsung S6: black screen, constant white led. tried all variations of resetting with buttons. over a year ago i replaced the battery, and its been fine since. when this no boot issued happened i also tried changing the battery to a known good one. on inserting a battery and then pressing the power button the indicator led will go to green for less than a second before changing to constant white, and it stays that way no matter what until the battery is drained or the battery is removed. Strange thing is there is no information from samsung on what this behaviour means, but I've come across dozens of other S6 owners on the web with the same problem, so this is obviously diagnostic behaviour designed by samsung - but no info from samsung. the phone has never been damaged or watered or rooted so I'm at a loss.
Confirmed diagnostics:
The phone will respond to the power button and attempt to turn on
The phone will charge a battery, so the charging circuits and battery circuits are working.
The phone does not get picked up by a Windows 10 PC with Kies installed in any state - other samsung phones get picked up no problem.
Same here
I have the same symptoms. When I hild the vol up+home+pwr I get a green let for 1/2 sec then white. No other combinations do a thing. I swapped the battery for a new one. No luck.
Mine started a few days ago. The phone was 50% charge and i plugged it in for two hours. Came back and it had a solid red led. After a few hours the red light went off. It was then 100% unresponsive. I then took it apart and disconnected the battery. When I reconnected it, it started to do the white let thing described above

I have one that behaves exactly the same I changed the battery and didn't make any difference. my next step is to replace power management chip. I'll let you know.
Any luck on this?
Mine has been like this for a couple months, kind of gave up on it, but decided to give it a go again!
Same problem here, just happend after switching the battery. Anyone have solved this?
I found a kinda solution, plug your charger in and charge past 30% then unplug charger. then use just vol down and power button for 7-10 seconds, after 7-10 seconds just release the power button while still holding vol down button until you see samsung logo, you can tell if you did it wrong by the solid led being back on, repeat until success, once you have it on do NOT press the power button or it will RESET back to solid led/black screen.
I have the same problem with my s6 active and similar story to dbeeheim. Has anyone fixed this? And can anyone confirm that enzo13's solution works?
Much thanks in advance!!
i have same problem!
Suddenly my S6 dead, battery was ~80%, no charge
yesterday i try to change battery, after that if push power button, LED small light comes but in white with purple, then stuck. (it's small Notifications LED)
and i chnge the screen, but no more than white/prople LED.
(no any thing on screen, always black..)
what is the problem?
i think it's battery because it last month didn't work good, and it's old 3years battery.. but no idea..
Hello guys my Samsung S6 sm-g920f has the solid white led and black screen. Really no fixes?
thank you
Same issue
I have the exact same issue. My Galaxy S6 Edge (G925F) suddenly died and won't get past the 'Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by Android' screen.
I am unable to reach the recovery options. I've tried flashing two different stock ROMs with Odin which succeed but without successfully turning on my phone. I've also tried flashing TWRP with success in Odin but it won't get past the 'Powered by Android' screen before turning off after +-4 seconds. The white LED is on even when the screen is black.
Just had this same issue, my battery died and I forgot to charge my phone overnight, woke up and it would not turn on, black screen. I did manage to replace the battery and do several diagnostic tests on it. My battery was receiving about half the power output it should be (this is normal it's a 4.5yo phone) and when I replaced the battery with a new one, it did not turn on. With wireless charging I can tell I am receiving a charge and with standard I can not. The screen does not indicate it is charging with either method but my wireless charging pad lights up indicating my phone is being charged. I think it may be the processor or screen itself. This really sucks because I lost all my data on my phone and data recovery can be over $500
