the battery had a full charge when the screen went off as normal.
i pressed the power button and then the unlock screen is supposed to come on and it did not.

no. it does not

I have charged it for more than 4 hours and still it does not turn on.
I called T-mobile and they are telling me since it was bought in Dec I have to call Samsung. I called Samsung and they are open Monday through Friday 9am-5pm.
I have insurance on it and I asked T-mobile what am I paying insurance for and they told me only if its broken or has water damage can it be replaced under the insurance.
So I will take it to the TMO store today to see if there is something they can do....

I went to TMO store and they got me some help. i spoke to a TMO person who will contact Samsung and taker care of it for me. they are scheduled to call me tomorrow. since it is still under warranty and i have not opened it they will try to help. just a note i don't know if this is relevant, it gets warm when it charging and then cold when the battery is dead. right now i have it sitting until it drains.
i am waiting to hear from Samsung. lets hope they have good news.
I will keep you posted.

I had a similar thing happen to me last week as well. I went to sleep, and then didn't want to turn on anymore. I had it plugged into the computer and after about 30 minutes, it turned on.

Yeah... it's mine too and I solved by press the Power button while another finger touching on Screen just about 1~2 min and it wakes up. I don't know what is the reason while the TAB doesn't turn on.
FYI

Thanks for all of the helpful suggestions. Tab is on its way to texas to the samsung repair center. I will not see it again for over a week. So sad
tab you will be missed. I hope you return with some treats :i

hey, what about your tab now?
im facing the same problem today.
maybe u got a few tips?

HELP! My phone died and now won't do anything when it's plugged in

Okay so I rooted my HTC Vivid, S-Off, etc and it's been fine for 2 weeks. I'v elet it die all the way before and never gave me any trouble turning back on. I let it die lastnight, and i forgot to plug it in while at work today so when I got home it was dead, as I expected. I plugged it in while i took my dog out and when I came back, it won't do anything. I didn't pay attention before to see if the charge light came on (i was in a hurry). the charge light now comes on a for a couple seconds and then goes off, and CWM recovery screen comes up. I held the power button down and then the HTC screen came up and hasn't gone beyond that. It's plugged in and I don;t see the charge light at all. What could have happened? Please help me
I would pull the batt then plug it in and see if the charge icon comes on if so let it set about ten min then turn it on

Try a new battery. I have seen a lot of posts from people who let the battery die and it was never able to charge again. That is not normal behavior for a battery, it is defective. Several people have gotten new batteries by taking them in for warranty service. If you don't feel you can do that, Amazon has many batteries that work fine.
Until I get a spare battery, I will not let mine go to zero. I plug it in before it gets below 2%.

Charge it for at least 24hs. It should show a red light indicating charging at some point, just let it charge and then try to start it again. The flashing red light indicates that battery is empty.
If it won't start after charging 24h+, then your phone is probably dead. What were you doing to the device when this happened? Flashed anything?
what worked for me on my ion, was draining the battery empty so you just let it rest for a day just showing the red led. then put everything you need on your sd card and charge your battery again. then after a few minutes you should see you led comming back up and then boot up your phone, enter cwm (press a couple of times the volume up button) then first of all you do a factory reset, flash your new rom, don't forget to wipe cache aftwards, just to be sure. i hope this brings your phone back to life..
Well basically I left it on charge all night and it's still on charge now. I did try plug it in to the laptop.
It then prompted to install a driver and did but then jumped straight back out again.
I tried the vol+ & power today and got a vibration and it didn't boot after about 4 hours. So I tried it with the 3 vibrates and still haven't had anything since.
I spoken to sony and they will take it in under warranty but would rather try get it working on my own.
Btw I still have red light no mater what It disappears every so often while it's on charge

Taken from Sony Support.
1. Press and hold down the power key on the right side of the phone. If the battery status LED flashes red, try plugging the charger into the phone at the same time as you are pressing and holding in the power key.
When plugging the charger into the phone there is a risk that nothing happens – no red battery status LED as indication of charging, or nothing appearing on the screen.
If the charging doesn’t start, follow the instructions under To let the charger be plugged in for 24 hours.
2. If the charging starts, keep charging the phone until it’s fully charged. Indication of charging is that the battery status LED lights up in red, or that the SONY symbol appears on the screen and then the LED lights up.
3. Update the phone software using PC Companion, Sony Bridge for Mac or Update service. If no update is available, use Repair mode in PC Companion.
This should fix the problem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To let the charger be plugged in for 24 hours
1. Plug the charger into the phone, and let it be plugged in for 24 hours. There will be no indication of charging, since the battery is discharging during this step.
2. Disconnect the charger from the phone, and wait for 20 seconds.
3. Plug the charger into the phone again. The battery should now start charging. It may take some time before any indication of charging appears (the battery status LED lights up in red, and shines continuously).
4. Let the phone charge until it’s fully charged. Then follow the instruction to update the phone software in step 3 found in section above.
5. If the phone doesn’t charge, send it for service.
Thanks for that bud it's been on charge all day even now. Iv just checked it and it hasn't changed the led is still shinning red. I'll put my little one to bed then try it again and see what happens.
Sony have said they will send me out a jiffy bag even if I manage to get the phone powered on just incase I want to send it away

Did you keep them down til you got 3 vibrations.?
One vibration is same as power off.
Three vibrations is a soft reset, same as removing battery.

just getting a bit annoyed with it now :/
I'd leave it on mains charge for full 24 hours again and try tomorrow,
if no luck send it off.

If you really want your phone to work try reininstal your OS, Also if you call your carrier they can give you a replacement, (At least for me they did)

no power to nexus 7. help

So I finally picked up my nexus 7 from best buy. Got home started to power it up and it died before I was able to input my info. So I plugged it into the charger and I cannot power it up. I occasionally get to the Google animation but it turns off shortly after. I've left it charging for 30 min and still nothing. Has anyone run into similar issues?? Please all advice welcome
Normally, there should be at least a third of the full power left.
But in any case, just leave it charging for a while.
For a few times I had problem powering up (not because of no power), I had to keep it plug in and keep holding the power button on for a few seconds and then let go and try again... I had to do this a few times..... It is a matter of trial and error.

Pissed off!! So I left charging over night and in fact I just got home and its still not booting up at all! How can I have this bad of a did!?!? I just picked it yesterday and haven't even had it for 24 hrs. I headed to best buy and what's even worse is I know they don't have any in stock. To make things worse I'm going on vacation for a month in a week and I doubt I'll have one by then. Pretty disappointed at this point!

XT1097 turning off when the battery is less than 30%

My Moto X 2014 works perfectly, all of its features.
Only one thing is bothering me when the battery is less than 30% cell turns off and when religo it shows that it has more than 20% battery but when it finishes the boot turns off again.
Someone has gone or is going through this problem?
My phone is with the original ROM, unlocked bootloader and custom kernel to be able to root.
I had a similar problem on my XT1096 but the threshold was more like 20%. It would hit between 20%-15% and just turn off. I actually got Motorola to replace it under warranty cause I thought it was a battery problem. My replacement has done it once already. I never figured out what the problem was. A factory reset made it go away for about a month. Then it started happening again pretty regularly. That's when Motorola replaced it.

Thanks for your reply, awaiting more comments/solutions.
Yeah, mine did this @ 12-9% threshold... which really wasn't too bad, but not reliable for general day to day use. You can try calibrating the battery [Google: Calibrate your battery], and seeing if that helps. It didn't for me. Long story short; i went to ebay and bought a broken Moto X 2014 for $30 and i swapped it's battery in my original. I bought many "authentic" batteries on ebay and guess what, they were fakes and never worked. If you chose to go this route, the MOTO X is pretty difficult to open properly without ruining the back. I bought an additional wooden back from China via Ebay. I no longer have this problem, the phone gets to 1-2% before it dies now; which is much more reliable for my use.

Charge phone to 100% leave plug in turn on phone wait till boot animation shows then hold Power button until it restarts, do this three 2 times.
Repeat later on if you have to.
It should work.

My solution is calibrating it with this and I get it to work again. So, is there something physically wrong with my battery and this is just some kind of patch?

I tried this and it actually made it worse. My phone would consistently shut off at around 30% (oh, and I can get MAYBE 5-6 hours out of it before it shuts off, so I can never go anywhere without charging cords, VERY annoying!!), so I tried this. For one, the phone shuts but doesn't restart when I am holding the power button during the BU animation, it just shuts off and no matter how long I hold the power button, it doesn't restart. One of the times I did it, I DID get a green LED shining inside the slot at the top which serves as the earpiece for the phone. That time I had to hold the button a LONG time for it to restart. The end result of all of this is now my phone shuts off at around 40%!
Try downloading ampere app and seeing the health of your battery
This is definitely battery problem my friend...nothing can be done except replace battery ...my entire state doesn't have a good customer care to replace this sh#t battery and now am going to change this stupid phone ..am done charging all the day and sudden turn off s too..

I have only downloaded the OTA but not applied it. I woke up this morning to a shutdown phone and late for work.
I've also pulled my phone out of my pocket a couple times and been greeted with the "Enter PIN after Reboot" screen.
Rebooted my phone last night, and it turned off and now won't let back on. It was plugged in at the time. It's been 8 hours and won't respond at all.
I had this issue even on full stock. I found that turning off ambient display caused this. Turned it back an and no issues so far. :fingers-crossed:

Nope. Absolutely nothing. It's like the battery is dead. But it's been on the charger now for over 24 hours and still won't turn on. I've held the power button for over 5 minutes a couple of times just to see what would happen. No response or anything.

Have tried it with multiple chargers. And battery wasn't low when I rebooted. It was at 56%. There's no reason it shouldn't have powered back on. I'm not sure why it won't turn on. I'm not sure if it's the battery or any one of a number of reasons.
