[Q] my note not turning on

i am on stock ics 4.0.3 lpa rooted don't know what happend i am playing zynga poker and suddenly my phone switched off now it is not turning on tried everything removing battery, everything it was 27% charged please help guys even i can't get into recovery mode or downloading mode.. there is no evidence of life

try replacing the battery. I have seen a lot of that happen on rooted devices where when the battery hits 0% it will not respond to a charger or anything. I am having the same problem but have not replaced the battery yet

i don't have any other battery

Did you try the hard reset (holding the power button for 10 seconds)? Does the battery picture show up on the screen if you connect the charger?

Hey. I just had this issue today. I thought my phone got bricked without doing anything. I was using it then 10 mins later it won't respond when i took it out of my pocket..
I had about 80% battery when it died this morning. I tried to boot it to recovery or download mode but nothing....
I finally tried using my bro-inlaw's battery but still nothing...
I blew my battery contacts and pins... Removed the sim and sdcard then placed battery back.
Tried turning it on normally... It did! My battery was at 59% when it finally turned on..
I'm on PA v0.4 with white gnote unit.
I think it may have been the unit acting up, not the rom.
Any thoughts?

Hey mate thats a sympton of battery going completely dead, try another battery or try to charge your battery with a external battery charger. Dont worry your note is fine just the battery gone dead.

First of all manage for charged battery, then only picture gets clear.
If it solve your problem then you may need not to do anything.

today i visited sams service centre after checking my fone they said that my note get oveheated and my motherboard blown up.. they said that it will be replaced in 3 days till then i have to wait

My note's battery draind, now it won't boot up?!

Hi guys!
It's been awihile since i've posted in this forum. Happy new year and all!
I need help! My note has had Cassie's xtralite 4.0.4 rom awhile and everything has worked great with it. But couple of weeks ago the battery had drained and i put my note to charger (official). But it never bootup since. Only black screen and no sign of any life.
What can i do with this? I still have warranty, but i quess, i should have to flash a original firmware, before i send this to samsung repaircenter? Is there any way, that i can do this? Thanks!

keep the phone plugged in to the charger for a couple of hours and then try to boot up the phone.. try download mode as well

Thanks, but no help. Still a dead note. :/

try a charged battery from a different note. if that too fails, then i don't think the service center can also start it up to find out what rom its on

actually if the phone didnt properly shutoff, you have the jb leaks bug. Reinstall rom, and all should be fine.
first turn off rom, then insert charger, watch charging indicator, let charge till full, then do the rom flashmob flash on safe kernel cleanly.

You're going to need an external battery charger. You can pick one up cheap off eBay.

Hi,
I have Cassie's ICS rom not JB. There shouldn't be any memory leak problem in this rom, that i know of. I've tried to put my note to download mode, when connected to PC + Odin. But no luck. I could send this to repair, but i'm afraid that samsung sees, that my note has a custom rom in it and i loose my warranty.
So, is there a change, that my battery is just dead?
thanks for your replies!

you should have tried a charged battery on your note till now.. first thing to check

Thanks!
Too bad, that my friends don't have Note. I'll check my local Cellphone store and ask to try different, charged battery from them. Can you tell me the reason, why my Note + charger wouldn't charge the battery?

I have seem many cases where the note is dead and the battery does not charge. If you have an external charger, even that would work to charge the battery.

few days ago having the same symptom as ur's .
but I'm using JB , after charge the battery n than press 3 button go to recovery mode n press reboot system now.
everything back to normal.
I'm not sure whether is it works on 4.0.4

The problem was the battery!
Thanks for your help guys! I had a change to try different battery and my Note booted up normally. I just ordered a new one.
Samsung batterys seem to really suck in quality. 7months and the battery is dead.

agree with you.. max life seems to be around 10 months of use. also depends on your charging cycle

This is what up I am up to right now, when the battery is below cca 95% then my Note dies, but still works under charger. Battery lasted around 12 months - never happened with HTC, but 20E for a new one is not a big deal either ...

Battery Instability

Nowadays I have a weird problem. Even though I fully charge my phone, it behaves like battery is empty. It happens in two way:
1. After some usage, it can occur at 15%.
2. While showing battery is charged enough, you restart the phone. It starts as ciritical battery level.
3. For case 1, it can happen at higher levels as well. Screen starts flickering then phone shutsdown suddenly.
I tried calibration apk. I suspect it caused some problem also.
My system was stock 4.1.2 leak. I thought it may be reason, so I downgraded to ICS. But, I still have same problem...
Any1 has an idea? Battery or phone has problem or not?

May be time to get a new battery

I opened back cover now. I am very surprised. Battery got deformed. Middle part became thicker. It cannot fit to battery slot.
I think god saved me. It could explode.
This turned from question to possible Samsung defect. So, I am agree originally I made wrong choice. But, this topic is suitable for here in the light of my new finding.

I have the exact same problem! Been wanting to change the battery but haven't found it. If you buy a new battery and everything comes back to normal, please let us know!

I have same issue as OP. My screen starts to flicker at 15% as if it's about to lose power any second.
Happens with OEM battery as well as two aftermarket hyperion batteries.

Same here.. my batterry was a little bulged at the middle and i thought it is still ok.. then it started acting up..
-It says fully charged on the battery indicator while turned off and charging
- when I turn it on, it says 50%..
- when I get to recovery (philZ stock kernel recovery) it says 1%
Then it got worse and wont turn on when unplugged... Bought a battery at our local samsung store and all the problems went away!

Awesome!! That's what I wanted to know! Now I'll look for the battery.
Does anybody know why this happens?

I had this issue last month. Changed to Mugen battery. Everything's good now.
All the symptoms described here are dying battery issues. Have them replaced before your note dies.

I was unaware of this situation and I downgraded by JellBean to first GB, then ICS. I am lucky it did not shutdown during firmware install.
I went to some official Samsung technical service. They will give me a new battery soon. I am using my Sony Ericsson Walkman series phone Luckily I have iPad with cellular. Now, I will just wait and I will hope everything will be ok.

I bought a 7000 mAh battery on ebay. It's awesome! No problem now. My battery last all day :good:

[Q] Battery almost empty after rebooting?

So, I bought a Galaxy S too. Nice phone. Awesome display. Delightful user experience. Now, few days later, after rebooting my phone, battery level drops from like 90% to just 10%, and restores to the original level after some time. What should I do?

Not enough information. Are you rooted? Are you on a custom ROM or kernel? Have you tried running the battery completely dead until the phone shuts off, then charge it all the way to 100%?
Tappin the talk

If ur on a coustom rom..this issue will be there in beta versions of the rom!
Also which rom u using?

Sorry. Yes, it's rooted. Stock XXJVU, Semaphore kernel 2.5.0b (been using CF-Root and stock kernels before that, but there were no differences in battery level readings after reboot). Nope. How many 0-100% cycles would be necessary for it to do the trick (or fail)?

what i presume is that your battery hasnt been recalibearated.. it might be a kernel issue too..

Okay. What would be the best way to do the recalibration if it really is the culprit?

Tried it. Now my Galaxy shuts off without even letting me know. I was like browsing, tra lala lala la. Everything went fine, silky smooth. Then BAM! It shut off. When I turned the phone back on, the battery was fully empty. Help!
P.S. My battery is kinda... bulged. Could that be the cause?

Might be a faulty battery. Check if it's swollen or anything, and try replacing it if you can get a spare.

Yeah, you need a new battery. Get the 1800mah Anker.

Dev, I am facing problem after buying a used Galaxy i9000 .
1.I charged my battery fully [100%] , then using after 5/6hr when battery goes down to 34%-35% , the Cell phone suddenly got shut down , When I plug it in , then it says battery was empty . Then I have to charge it again .
2.When battery is 66%-67% , I tun off my phone and started after 5min , I saw it's only 17% !!!
What is the remedy/ solution for this problem .
[Don't say to change ROM/kernel/ clean delvik cache , I have already done them]
Do this problem will be solved by Changing battery ?

Yes, as Knuckle said you will need a new battery perhaps the 1800 MAh.
Hope i helped

Is there any battery on eBay you guys would recommend (free shipping, battery price up to $10 if possible)?

I thought that someone bought such stuff on eBay and could suggest me some reliable seller(s) so that I don't buy some fake garbage labeled as Anker that will blow up in my pocket. Nevermind.

Okay, in order to not experience bad battery life again, what exactly should I do once my battery arrives? Wipe battery stats, few 0-100% cycles, later just make sure battery never goes below, say, 25%, and I should be fine? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, pretty much what you just said. Wiping the battery stats is a bit pointless but do it if it makes you feel good
Polarcell or Anker are the ones to get. There aren't any fakes of those that I've heard of. All the fakes I've seen claim silly capacities.

Is your Galaxy overclocked?

I mean, consider lowering your CPU clock as it seemingly stopped sudden blackouts on my Galaxy.
EDIT: Nope, it didn't.

I had same problem. Bulged battery. I bought a new battery and it fixed the problem
You need a new one!

Droid 4 randomly shutting down!!!

So this is driving me crazy, and I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem or a software problem. Hopefully someone could give me some insight.
So about 2 months ago I installed CM 11 on my Droid 4 and it was my first time doing a custom ROM on an android device. I was extremely satisfied with the results of this as it improved my phone to a well optimized 4.4.2 and making my phone significantly faster compared to stock.
However, for the past 2-3 weeks my phone has become a completely broken mess. For starters the phone gave me strange battery statistics. When turned off and plugged in, the phone would read as 100%, but when I booted in CM 11 the battery would be at 60% and would every so often the phone would jump from 60% to about 15% in literally seconds. The phone shuts down during usage constantly, usually when the battery reads at <60%. Before it does so "Android System" would open up on the screen and immediately close then the phone will read "Shutting down..." sometimes doing so immediately after the boot screen. This became very infuriating so I loaded up stock to see if the same problem occurs. Sure enough, it did. However, before shutting down, the phone would keep going into cooldown mode multiple times. Sometimes it would cool down for only a few seconds, sometimes it would be in cooldown mode for up to 2-3 mins. With that information could someone please tell me what I can do? Do I need a new battery or a new ROM? or do I need a new phone all together? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have recently encountered this myself on stock ROM. The past few days were very hot and my Droid 4 shut down after going into cooldown mode when I used it for multiple tasks at the same time (browsing, bluetooth, music, etc.). It wouldn't even turn back on until it cooled down. My money is on the battery, I'm planning to swap it out tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

Could be battery, but I would reinstall ROM first.
If you want can try just ROM install, no data wipe, no gapps.

It should be worth noting that once i started to notice the problem, I thought it was an issue in the latest snapshot for CM 11. It made sense as I had recently installed it. So I wiped the rom slot clean and went from M7 back to M6 and the problem still occurred.

I swapped the battery this morning, I have 1-2 lying around just in case.
I charged it to full and noticed that the device was not as hot during charging than before.
After this, I did some browsing and run a full AnTuTu benchmark and the Droid remained fairly cool.
So I think it's safe to say that it's the battery that tends to overheat the device.
I was on stock ROM.

Thx for looking into it for me. I just threw down $30 on a new battery over amazon. So I'll let you know if it works once I get it.

Update: Just installed the new battery. Gonna leave it on the charger and await further results.
Update 2: The new battery is working great so far. Only got it to as low as 50% as of now so can't say it's a perfect fix just yet.

Good to hear it! I used mine for a full day, I'm not saying the device is freezing cold now, but feels cooler and no shutdowns due to heat. Also seems like that some applications tend to heat things up better than others (TuneIn and UC Browser for example). Anyway, let's hope this prolong the life of our phones, I would hate to be without the keyboard.
