I had just installed CM9 v2 last night, was working fine, installed all apps, everything as normal. Phone was about 25% charge before I went to bed and put it to charge.
Woke up this morning, the alarm didn't wake me up..the phone is dead, won't turn on, can't hear any sounds, can't even see the screen flicker to show some sort of life, just dead.
Tried charging on another charger just incase, no go. Pulled battery out, tried going into download mode/CWM with nothing. Tried connecting to PC with PC-Odin and it doesn't detect a phone connected.
I don't think its the ROM because it was working fine with no hickups, I think it's hardware related, but just wanted to check before I send it back...
Sad day...

Try, jig works if for some reason your phone is not being able to get into download mode, but the way your phone was dead, looks like it is a 50-50.
But I think you should head to samsung service.

It should be in this format MM.YY. In some cases, it could be like MM.YYYY too.
On a side track, if any of ur friends have a Captivate, I would recommend getting ur battery charged up atleast to some extent like 25% so u can fire up the phone into download mode and get started on recovering it.

is there any way I can charge my battery with this phone...i know i came to my sister's home..and they dont have samsung phones...so I have to wait 3 days to back home to chrage it
You should be able to charge it with the phone off. Just plug it in and a charging screen will appear.
If it last turned off by crashing you might need to pull the battery, put it back in, and then plug in. That's fixed mine before when it was nonresponsive to the charging cable after a bad flash attempt.

Really, I am going to try that again and again...May be I might get lucky, I have been flashing, soft bricking and doing everything on XDA since last September. but never had such problem.
A small suggestion: Next time on, pls ensure u have atleast a 60% battery, preferably 100%, when u flash. It would really help in just-in-case situations like this.
I do too flash when battery is as low as 10%, but well, I have another battery charged to atleast 75% lying around all the time
hey guys, my rooted 2.3.4 stock gingerbread optimus black doesn't come on unless plugged in to the charger. the issue started 3 days ago when i was playing virtual tennis sega and it was connected to the charger. at first my phone got very hot and then it restarted.i continued playing the game after it restarted and it later got hot and again went off, but this time blinking as it went off. i removed the battery and put it back but it remained same. i later removed the battery for a whole day and inserted it back the next day but it remained the same. i later plugged it to the charger and it came on and booted all the way to my home screen. i could even use the phone normally, but anytime i remove the charger it goes off. also, anytime i put on the camera while its plugged in it goes off and shows the battery icon charging. i have done a factory reset but its still the same. please help me.
Try another battery
I think it might be loose or dead
If it was software...it would have turned on
could be your battery, hard to tell though, what if it's pluged to the PC?

I had the same issue.. i lost the warranty due to "bad use" and send the phone to a repair center.. It has a broken wire of the USB connector.
If your phone still turns on while pluged to the computer you can use smartflash to go back to stock rom and this will get you back to warranty
phone still wont come on without charger

Hey guys,
last week I flashed ParanoidAndroid 2.54 to my Galaxy Note, it all worked out fine and was still working until last night. I went to sleep and then I always plug in my phone to the charger, when I woke up, my Note was dead. Didn't recharge, didn't reboot, nothing. Do you have any idea what could be the cause? It's not my charger, cause i tried several chargers and none worked.
Thanks in advance!

As for now, now I dont. But my battery is dead I think, can't get my hands on a new one quickly.
Its like my battery can only be charged if there is some juice in it, not when it died.

Mmm, think that's the best chance I've got. It would be weird to say it's bricked right? Since it was working for about a week and suddenly stopped working?

Never leave the battery to drain completely! I had left it do drain once and my S II died on me No download mode, no recovery mode. Had to get it replaced via warranty.
PS: I know it is strange, happens one in a million i guess
Used the tablet before i went to bed last night and when i woke up this morning its dead it wont turn on, charge or anything
Ive tried all the usual button combos but nothing works has anyone else come across this?

Oddly enough, yes. It happens when the tablet discharges too deeply, so try not to let it drop too far.
Plug the tablet in, hold down VOL DN + POWER for at least 10 seconds. It should start booting to the charging screen.
How long did you let it charge?
If the battery was completely depleted charging may take more time. Also, make sure the charger and cable are functional.
Left it charge for a while and about half way up the right hand side as you hold it it gets hot
Tried holding the buttons but nothing happens i will put it back on charge for a while
strange though it had 40% left when i finished using it last night
40% battery left.. was WiFi on? Any apps running?
I'd say, give it some time to recharge. Getting hot while charging is normal.
You still have warranty?
WiFi was on but as far as i know no apps were running
WiFi on. There you go! Bet that caused the drain.
You know, there are some syncing apps that run in the background draining the battery big time.
Suggestion, active Airplane Mode, and deactivate WiFi whenever you don't use it.
Moreover, there's the Mediaserver bug, which scans for media files nonstop.

Been on charge for a couple of hours but still no life
When you power it up pay attention to the navigation buttons.. do they light up?
If so, try to connect the s2 Tab to a computer via USB. Maybe the screen is the issue.
On the other hand, a dead battery can be replaced. Just have to open the back cover..
No the lights dont come on at all
How do you get the back cover off this thing?
Did you try the original charger?
Battery replacement vid,
https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=WL&v=bhO1wndlwhI
Yes tried the original charger
Got the back off so will order a new battery its worth a try
Yes, replacing the battery is definitely worth a try.
Fingers crossed that it is just the battery. Batteries are quite inexpensive and not hard to replace.
Please keep us updated on your operation. And good luck.
Will do
Thanks for all your help
Put the new battery in and it fired up but.......
the battery only had about 5% so i put it on charge it comes up on the screen as charging and it gets warm but it doesnt actually charge
so now its dead again
Good news, your original battery is not dead. Bad news, it might be the USB charging port.
Perhaps it's time to consult a pro like Rossmann,

sorry reviving this old thread.. did you ever got it fixed?
Got my mix like 1 month ago. Stock miui and recently updated it to 8.5.4.0. No mods or unlocking the bootloader or anything like that.
Today, it was at 11% so I plugged it in the charger. 5 minutes in I looked at it and it wasn't charging, so I unplugged it and then it turned off before I could plug it back in.
Now it won't turn back on, the charging light won't light up. It looks dead.
I haven't dropped it or spilled any liquids on it. It wasn't exposed to extreme heat or cold and has a case around it at all times.
WTF happened? $650 down the drain?
What are some tricks I can do to try to save it.
I had a similar problem a week ago. Battery went dead and I plugged in the charger. But I discovered after an hour that it didn't charge. I tried turning on the phone, only response was a quick flashing red light. Tried different chargers, tried holding down the power button for a long time, tried the different butto combinations, no luck. Then I just left it in the charger, and after several hours I finally got a response from my beloved Mix. I took a long time to fully charge, but now it is working normally again. Phew! No idea what went wrong. But keep trying and hoping. Good luck!
To the original poster:
Has the phone powered on now? The same thing happened to me too.
My Xiaomi Mi Mix showed low battery sign so I plugged it in to charge. The phone immediately went off. I pressed the power button to restart it, it showed the Xiaomi logo then immediately went off and since then (this was 2 days ago) it has not powered on.
Kindly note the following:
1. It didnt have water spilled on it
2. It didnt fall or have any mechanical damage
The only thing was, the battery was low, I plugged it in to charge and it went off and never came on again. I have used the same charger to charge other phones so I doubt if the charger is the source of the problem.
Kindly help, what is wrong with the phone?
thanks

I havent tried any self repairs or anything funny yet the phone has remained dead.
What can I do now? This is extremely saddening
Mine just did this. My resolve was to hold down the volume up button and then plug the phone in. It should boot into recovery (down for bootloader) and from there reboot into system. I seems for some reason the bootloader is not allowing the phone to charge. You need to get around it.
Happened on mine in the first day. I even thought like why I bought a pos Chinese device. After 30 mins charging, it's started booting by power on button as it's supposed to be. Weird thing.

My Xiaomi Mix won't turn back on
this happened to my xiaomi mix yesterday. I was using it during dinner. Suddenly the screen wouldn't come on, flashed a bit, then shut down. I was able to hard reset it once. After that, the phone just died. and won't come back on. What do I do?
Please note: the battery was almost full. Did not drop it or get water in it.

Battery will need to be unplugged overnight, in the morning plug it back in, it won't boot or charge at this stage, leave on charge for a few hours maybe upto 12 after that it will be fine.

Does pc recognise the phone
Have the same issue. During charging and watching youtube, it turned off. No signal since then.
Changed charger, tried PC... Also disconnected battery and charging for more than 24h.
Now have a new battery and USB board and no signal
Any idea how to get the data from it?
Thanks
