Hi,
Was taking a bath when the watch printed a message that i can't read (didn't have my glasses) and some minutes later power off.
Since i can't boot or charge it. Nothing on the screen. The battery was 75% ...
So there is something i can try ?
Have a nice day.

So about 2 weeks ago I was booting into the bootloader and BAM black screen of death. The phone would not turn on, it would say it's charging with the red light but nothing I tried worked. I let it charge for hours and nothing. I had a bad feeling because I was literally just booting into my cwm recovery when it turned off and all went to sh**.
Luckily there was a cheap solution. I knew the phone was somewhat alive because I could see it in adb recovery. (./adb devices)
2-3 days went by no luck charging etc.
I decided to stick a the battery inside 2 zip lock bags and freeze it (old trick)
After 12 hours in the chill box I popped it in and the last bit of juice left booted my phone to the last animation.
I took another battery that fit somewhat from another phone and luckily it booted.
Ordered a battery on ebay and now the phone works perfect.
Don't freak it could just be a battery.
I don't think my battery was dead when in recovery but I have read that a low battery or dead to dying battery in cwm can cause this sort of thing to happen.
Anyways back to flashing
Hope this helps someone in need.
Cheers
I was going to post this later, but thanks for the post. My phone has done this twice and my Evo 4g did this. If you're 20% or lower on battery and try to reset, or power on, it freaks out and doesn't want to turn on. My first purchase after I buy a smartphone is always a backup battery. Ebay always have cheap ones. I just pop off the old battery, put it on the dock charger, and then pop in the fully charged backup battery. My friend has replaced his evo 3D twice already "thinking" he had the black screen of death. These phones just have issues with low batteries. If my phone dies and I put it on the charger, sometimes it won't turn on until it's above 20% again

Hello,
Yesterday I damaged the phone with water, after that I removed the black glass panel and tried to dry it with hairdryer. I also put it in a plate with rice and let it drain the water overnight. Today I tried to wake it up:
When I plug in the charger, the phone automatically turns on. It only shows the logo and the battery status, but after that it turns off. If I push the power button, the phone vibrates 3 times and the whole thing repeats - it shows logo, battery status, then it turns off. Battery seems Charged, but it looks like phone cant find it, because If I unplug the charger and try to turn the phone on, it does nothing, like the battery is dead.
Is this issue common to all water damaged phones? Do I need to buy new battery or just wait more days? :/
I also recorded a video about the whole thing, please take a look.

I would try leaving it a couple more days to ensure it is dry then try again. But charge it first before trying again.

Wow, all I can say is I've been a Gear user since the original. I skipped the Gear 2 and Neo because I felt they were too similar to the original Galaxy Gear. I got my Gear S recently, about a month ago off contract from ATT. In all, I have been very happy with my purchase. It is definitely an upgrade to say the least. Maybe I miss the camera a little bit. But anyway, I was wearing my watch, normal day nothing major. I noticed that the battery was going to be dead before I got home that day. So I tried the battery saver option that is on the watch. Needless to say, this didn't work very well, as the watch kept dropping battery like it was going out of style. Sidenote: I've been getting at least a full days use out of the watch no problem after the newness factor wore off. Well the battery went dead while I was at dinner with some co-workers. I was slightly disappointed because one of my co-workers asked about the watch. And I couldn't show it off to them. I had to tell them that it died, which was kind of stupid and really spoke to why wear a dead watch on your wrist. What's the point? But anyway. I got home to re-charge by watch battery. My charging cradle is not broken, all charging pins are fine. It clips onto the watch fine. No problems here. I could not get the watch to charge. Everytime I clipped the charger on the watch there was no response from the watch. But the charger LED would turn on, letting me know that a connection had been established. I played and toyed with all types of things, I tried plugging into a computer. I read somewhere that this might fix the problem. No Luck. Finally I called Samsung, to ship the watch back for repair.
I'm wondering if anyone has ever had this problem. Have you ever let your watch go completely dead and had any problems charging?
Overall the Gear S is a decent watch, I just wish that Samsung would take as much pride in their watches as they are starting to do with they're phones. Better materials, such as a metal casing for a watch of this caliber would have been a major win. Just seems like most manufacturers coming out with watches now are using nicer materials and concentrating more on style. I would like to have the style with all of the functionality the Tizen OS. Android wear seems to be too locked down right now. Just my two cents. What do you guys think?
Just to let you know, on sunday after a full day I was not able to charge my watch, on monday I was at work, when my watch vibrates, advising me to charge it since its battery was too low, needless to say being at work I did not have the charger at hand (I know it was not smart to leave my charger at home, taking into account, the charger backup battery could have charged the watch all the way up to 50%, but you knou Murphy's law? ) In the afternoon after I got home, I finally connected the charging cradle to my watch, I was not surprissed it did not turned on, since the battery was completely dried, but after a couple of hours, I tried to turn on the watch and no luck at all, I tried everything from connecting the craddle to other chargers I use, to connecting it to my laptop (after googling my problem I found out this is a common problem with the Gear 2, and some of the user could fix this by connecting the watch to a laptop for for several hours, others with enough expertise to dissassemble their watch, could fix it by disconnecting the actual watch's battery terminals, and then reconnecting them) well, after about 12 hours connected to my lapto my watch was still dead, in a final effort, I just connected the charging craddle like a bavkup battery (by this I mean just the charging craddle was connected to the watch, not the actual AC charger), after about 3 hours, my watch came back from dead, it was just indicating battery at 1%, then I connected the AC charger, and after 01:30 it was at it full 100%.
After this near dead experience, I just would say, it is not advisable to let the watch die on its battery, if you are not able to charge it right away, I would think it would be better to turn it off, and charge it ASAP. If following my advise I helped some one with the same problem, I would be very happy!
Best regards!
Before I get started, YES, I'm fully aware this is the Gear S thread.
My wife's Gear Fit actually did something similar this morning after she unplugged it from charging it wouldn't turn back on, although I can't say for sure if it was light up or showing a charge when it was plugged in, but I can tell you it just wouldn't turn on. After fiddling with it for a minute I decided to just hold the power button down for a while and after about 30 seconds or more (not like I had a stop watch timing it) of holding the button down it finally turned on. For some odd reason it said "rebooting..." as if it were already on, usually it just says Gear Fit blah blah blah.
Not sure how long anyone holds down on the power button but I would first suggest holding it down for a prolonged period of time.
If that doesn't work hold down the power button and menu button for a prolonged period of time.
(Try both ways unplugged from charger , if that doesn't work then plug device in and retry above steps)
Hello all. It's been a long time since I've been to this section of XDA, glad to see it's still got some life left.
I'm trying to get my old i777 working so a friend of mine can borrow it. If I remember correctly, it was running an AOKP rom when I stored it well over a year ago, and it was fine. Today I went to turn it on, nothing. I started charging it, let it go for a few hours. It still won't turn on; instead it's acting a bit strange. Every few seconds the screen flashes either the gray battery charging logo, an instant dim flash of the entire screen (a slight gray, nothing bright), or the home/back/etc buttons flash for an instant. When the charge logo appears, the screen brightens just before it goes off. All buttons are unresponsive, my computer does not recognize it. I've been unsuccessful in finding any real help with Google and searching XDA. The only advice I found was to plug it in without the battery, then put the battery in. This did not help. Any feedback would be appreciated - this little phone has a lot of sentimental value to me. It's been through hell and back, it survived my ex (who managed to break a Nokia 3310 and Nokia 920). If I have to put it to rest, I guess it's earned it, but I'd like to keep it going for just a while longer.
Did you store it away with the battery in the phone? If so, in a year, the battery could be completely drained and in some cases, that can cause a problem with charging, as in will not charge. Possibilities to test, use a fully charged battery by charging the existing battery with an external charger, or by using another battery. This would be the first thing I would try.
I am also having such a problem from time to time, when my battery is complitely drained. I am using such a device to bring the battery back to life. Always helps.
I usually plug mine into a higher powered charger like my s6 one and that gets it out of the loop.
Dropped my Poco F1 in the sink. I didn't turn it off immediately as it worked for ~30 minutes (this is stupid I know.) Eventually the screen stopped responding and turned off. I took it to a phone repair place who pulled the back off and dried it out mostly, but as they were unfamiliar with the phone didn't want to proceed further. It's since been 2 days since it got wet so i tried plugging it in. The charge light started flashing which was the first sign of life i'd seen from the phone. I tried turning it on, the screen came on with a faint black very briefly with a short vibration also. The phone promptly shut off again and now not even the charge light is showing anymore.
What would be the best thing to do from here? I thought about getting a replacement screen however it takes at least 2 weeks to ship to Australia from any of the vendors I've found online. Would the replacement screen be worth it, or is the issue something else?

It's completely damaged.
Screen got shorted out from the water and motherboard is damaged based off of the nonresponsiveness / partially damaged response of the Android OS.
It progressively got worse because the water caused corossion of the metal components.
Sad to say it's completely unsalvageable except maybe the camera.

Pocophone has no given IP Water Resistance Rating since Xiaomi launched the Pocophone, but only certified Splashproof rating. See the video on JerryRigEverything wherein he did a teardown video and saw all components of the Pocophone and proven no water protection in Type-c port, headphone jack, speakers, etc.
In your case, 30 minutes underwater? It is dead. You can salvage it but not everything.

It wasn't underwater for 30 minutes. It was only underwater for a few seconds, but it was working for about 30 minutes after it got wet, and then shut down completely. I have taken it to another repair tech who got it working again, it is responsive/vibrating however the screen is still dead. Any recommendations for a replacement screen?
Place it in a sealed bag full of rice for at least 24 hours.

Hello,
could you mabye say if the display replacement worked for your pocophone? I had exact the same accident (phone fell in 2-3 centimeter salt water, worked for 30 minutes, after then screen went off, charging light is working).
Now I know what sould have to do first: turn off the phone immediately. Second mistake, I did not save the holiday photos on external storage, just on internal.
All data maybe is lost...
BR,
Alessandro
