[Q] Drunk G1 turns itself off

Hi fellas, long time no see!
So, first of all, yes, I've used the search, but what I've found is threads about wet phones, mine I believe is already dry.
Situation: I'm in the club, glass of absolut and redbull in my hand, phone in my jeans pocket, extra glass of absolut w/redbull on the bar next to me. Fat drunk aproaches the bar and tips my glass with his elbow, all my drink spilled over my clothes. After a brief discussion I realized the guy was too drunk and was a worthless douche so I let it go. I reach for my phone and realize my pocket is soaked wet, when I take it out, phone is out, red light dim. So I turn it off, take it apart and forget about it til the next day. Next day, it began to turn on, but shut itslef off after a few secs, so I take it apart again (that is back cover, battery, SIM and sd, I dont have the screwdrivers to go further), cleaned what I could with alcohol, let it vent in front of a fan for a few hours, then in a bowl of rice for 2 days, no good.
So I got an extra phone and let it sit for more than a month. The other day I decided to give it another try and voila! it worked, had to be dry by now! used it for a day, left it charging, when I came back, it was off again, unresponsive. I have an extra battery, so I got one of those universal battery chargers, because I though the problem could be the phone not charging the battery. It was (even when the light turns on red and it says charging and all). So, first weird thing, light turns on red, screen says charging, but USB wont wont actually charge the battery if it is somewhere below.. 70% maybe, it does charge if it is lets say about 80% or above.
I used it like this for a week or so, and now, when I turn it on, after the bootscreen and the initial loop, the phone now powers itself off (with the text "turning off" -or whatever it says- and vibrating and all), even with the battery full. Tried with both batteries full, plugged in the usb (the light is green when full, and will even charge), erased battery stats (recovery works fine) but the damn thing wont load android properly!
Any ideas what might be causing this? it should be dry by now (its been like 2 months already and I let it vent and used the rice method), it doesnt smell funny (you know, like burnt, like when sth short circuits).

btw, also tried flashing the ROM again (i always have a couple in the sd just in case) and didn't work neither, does exactly the same.
i know it is a bit long to read but i wanted to give you the most insight i could. i know that it works! it did a couple days ago, but something got screwed with the startup and i dont know what it is!

i see that u tried flashing the ROM again, but just to be sure u did do a super wipe correct?
this is very strange though, and yeah it should be dried by now.

Thanks for the reply, and yes, I did! I'm sure that is not the problem :/

phone randomly shuts down

i had replaced the digitizer on my vivid recently and now it would shut down randomly and even when i turn it on it would stay on for 10 second to 2 minutes and would shut down and this cycle continues until the phone "decides" to stay on. This only happens when the phone is not charging, when the phone is charging it never shuts down. Sometimes the percentage of the battery will jump for example: it could be at 60% then it shut down and when i turn it back on it would be at like 40% and it would shut down and when i turn it on again it would jump to like 56%.
Thanks in advance for any help
edit: when i had to take the digitizer from the screen i destroyed the tape sticking them together, im just sticking them together now with normal tape i had order adhesive strip to fix that. I also forgot to take the plastic off from the digitizer side that goes infront of the lcd screen. i dont think any apps is causing this.. i use to think battery is problem but now think otherwise..it doesnt shut down when my sim isn't inside.. only testing this now not 100% sure
edit:everything seem to working except for flash photography without the sim card. also when making phone call the screen keep going dark maybe a sensor is covered

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 Dead / Not powering on

I was in a conference call last night. At some point during the call, my phone froze. Touchscreen stopped working. So I waited for the cal to finish (some 30 mins) and after that I did a hard reboot reboot by pressing the power button and holding it down.
After like 5-8 seconds, phone switched off and never came back on. It justs didn't turn on. The screen doesn't even light up. No logo, no startup nothing - as if like there is no battery in the phone. The steps I tried:
Take out the battery, SIM Card, SD Card and try again after 2 mins.
Remove Battery and hold the power button down for a mins - for any internal power to drain, put battery back on and try
Try going to Download Mode
Try going to Recovery
Charging the phone - the screen doesn't light up, no activity, vibration,
Plug in the USB cable and hope for computer to detect it - no go.
I am on a business trip to US and completely dead in water without a phone. I dont want to spend money on a new phone and I haven't been able to locate any service station nearby. Doubt there is a culture like that in US about that.
I am not sure if the phone is bricked. Why will it get bricked, I was just using the phone - not flashing or something else. I also doubt any internal board got damaged as phone didn't fall down from anywhere, it was on bed all the time (connected to my bluetooth headset). Pls suggest me what I can do. I need some solution! Thanks !

Sorry to hear abt the phone going dead.
your phone is not bricked because even a bricked phone boots.Since the phone is not even booting, I assume that the motherboard of the phone has gone faulty.
There is nothing much that can be done but showing the phone to a technician. sorry but I can't see any solution.

Same issue
My phone died suddenly too while it was charging. Strangely my bluetooth was on too. So finally were you able to sort it out or did you go to a service centre?

N7000 Not power/boot/odin
I have rescued last week 2 dead mainboards that do nothing ,i mean really nothing ,no power,no boot ,no odin .
what ive done?
i pulled out the hole mainboard including the back camera and lay it for one hour on a central heater (nachtspeicher).
A handy technican says to me ,in the most cases its enough to reheat the power ICs or Emmc-chip on the board.
1.charging the battery seperatly with an external charger ,to be safe the battery is fully charged at 100%
2. Pulling out the mainboard ,take of the backcamera too.
3.lay board on a very hot central heater ,with power IC at the bottom,wait 3-4 coffees
4.assembly board back.
5.if youre ready with re assembling,stick in JIG
6.put back fully charged battery
7.Vol- + home + power button
8.flash fresh installation
thats pretty much it what ive do ,now i have 3+n7000 for 60 bugs :laugh:

Hi @bastelkick2.
I am about to attempt this over the weekend, and hopefully revive my dead N7000...
1) What sort of temp rating to you turn the central heater up too?? Medium or Full heat?
2) Wouldn't things go pop / bang, when it gets hot... such as the battery??
3) What's the IC Power?? (which way do you face the board) with the EMMc chip facing upright or at the bottom...??
Cheers, Lister

My Samsung note 1 powers on and displays the logo for a long time
I removed the battery to restart the phone and it refused to power on
How can i fix it

Hi @Jovan Afidra,
Hate to say it, but it's prolly dead like my one is.... and NO ONE know's why....?? I guess it's just age...??
I have a feeling its the EMMc chip thats somehow fried, even though it was supposedly deemed safe in more recent roms.... I've had to purchase another N7000 to get me back up and running again Im afraid...
Cheers, Lister

[Q] Got my KFHD a little wet and a lot broken

Hello everybody
Today I had me a horribad accident and ended up spilling coffee on my KFHD7. at first it seemed fine once I wiped it down, which was within 5 seconds. Then it went into fastboot mode and stayed there, so I shut it off. I put it in some rice for a bit to try and suck any moisture out, but now I've tried it again and it won't turn on, or respond to normal charging. I plugged it in with my factory cable (thanks SkOrPn :good and the screen just started cycling different colors; red, blue, white, etc. so i shut it off and jammed it back into the rice. anyone have any advice, other than maybe give it a little while? I just got cm10.1 running like a charm, and I was lovin' this thing. thanks all for any help
update: thanks to the jump start from the factory cable, its turned on again, although its not ready for active use. i think a few more days in the rice is a good call, since i saw a bit of a water mark on the screen but yeah. i recommend rice in this situation to anybody

top part of phone get hot after screen replacement

Hello
My screen cracked so I ordered a new on ebay. However after I have put the phone back in its shell the top part gets pretty hot. I opened it and started it without the aluminum shell to test and there were no heat? Anyone know what it might be?
Thanks In advance!

That isn't likely to be the screen. My phone gets warm too. About 4 days ago out of nowhere I noticed the upper part of the screen feeling warm, it turns out my phone had stopped sleeping properly and Google services had resumed chomping on my battery when the screen was off.

Tho when i don't keep it in the aluminium case it's not warm at all, turned on and I have logged on my simcard/wifi. I have left it on outside of the case for 1 hour and it don't get warm at all. However in the case it gets super hot as soon as it boots and then after 15-25m it turns off probably because it's too hot

Happened the same last night with me.
Put a download and slept, and in the morning it was all drained of battery and it showed that it shut down after minutes after I slept with 90%battery.
It was weird. Had to keep pressing power button for 40 sec approx for the phone to turn on.
It's working fine now though

did anyone of you even read my post? I said after a screenreplacement. It didn't just happened randomly. however i fixed it. I removed the camera and the earspeaker and reinstalled them used some alcohol on the contact points on the case and the earspeaker and it seemed to fix it if anyone has this problem later down the road

Hi jullleee, I have the same problem as u after I replaced the screen. The phone getting too hot on the top (one plus 3). On charge it becomes more hot and faster on very high temperature than without charging. Also the battery dont charge . Why did u reconnect the ear speaker and the camera ? Thank you in advance

For anyone coming across this thread I just had the same problem when replacing my Oneplus 3 screen. It seemed to work, and I plugged it in, but it said "battery too low charge for a while", then I got the 0% and seemed to charge and then restart, and then be back at 0% and be stuck in this boot / charging loop. My battery had died hard when my screen died so I thought maybe it just needed to charge for a while, but the top half of the phone got very hot.
So I took it apart again and it turns out the issue for me was with the top ribbon cables that cross the battery. Where they connect to the main board was very tight and it was difficult to get both of them in place properly. Usually they kind of overlapped and one stuck up slightly. It was fixing their placement before bolting down their cover that fixed this issue for me.
Edit: Never mind. Still searching for my issue. Taking the back case off will let it work normally but whenever i snap it on it goes back into this charging loop, I still suspect it's an issue with these two cables and the case is putting pressure in the wrong spot or something but I'm not really sure yet.

I had the same problem, the issue was the fact that i plugged the ribbon cable the other way around.
