Reboots, it must be the charger! Try this one!

My first o2x had random reboots and bsod.
When i received my second handset, I didn't trusted the charger so I bought one on ebay (5v, 1.0a) and used it for 1,5 month now without any reboot or bsod.
Yesterday I went to my girlfriend and took an other charger with me, i plugged my o2x in and bam, it totally frozen inmediatly! After rebooting the device by taking out the battery i tried it again and had the same issue. I also tried ANOTHER charger, with another ampere output. When i connected that charger to the phone, my phone went crazy (opening programs without touching the screen. Also my touches weren't recognized untill I disconnected the device.
Now i've connected my ebay charger again to my device and have no problems at all!
For those who want to try to get rid of the bsod and reboots, try this charger:
http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320574017791&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
This is not my shop or a promotion to the seller or whatever...
It's no guarantee, but for the few euros I would try it!
Let me know if it works for you, it does for me

Well, my girlfriend have a SE Xperia Pro Mini and used my old Desire charger. The screen was useless with the charger. Menu opened up and closed automaticly and the touch was useless.
Result: Broken battery, when the phone shut off and she put her own charger (original) the battery is 100% after 15 mins and back to 0% after a few hours without use.... Be careful with different chargers with different volt and amp. Just saying
Edit: By the way, my phone had many reboots in the beginning and none when I charged it. I had the reboots problem when I plugged in SD-card. After I removed it, I don't have had any reboots for 2-3 weeks.

i can't agree that the bsod and freezes are caused by the charger
i had the same like axepted, no reboot or freeze while charging, only at night when phone was idle
after testing cm nighly i flashed back to latest stock from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12890619#post12890619 and since then i had neither a bsod nor a freeze, so imho it has to be a software issue
yesterday i changed to cm7 rc1 and it also works fine

optimus black doesnt come on unless charger is plugged in

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

[Q] Phone rebooting in whatever situation

Hello, I'm new to the forums, although I always keep an eye here to download a ROM or reading any tips, but the time has come that I really need help and can't find in any topic, even the ones that are similar to mine.
I own a note and I love it. I've been using the JellyBam ROM for a while now, never changed kernels etc.
that is... until yesterday, when I flashed the thor 0.28 kernel. Everything was nice but today I had to do some stuff outside home so I took my galaxy S player with me, but when I was driving it ran out of battery, so I put its SD card in my Note (N7000), but it didnt recognized my sd card, so i changed them back and drove without music and didnt touch my phone. this was 10AM, I guess.
when I stopped to get my hair cut I noticed my phone was rebooting. I had just left my house and the battery was already in 46%. this was about 10:30AM, so I took of the battery and replaced it. the phone started normally but when the main screen appeared it turned off. I thought it was only the display, so I pressed the on/off button but it didn't work, so I pressed a little longer and the phone started again. but then it turned off.
so I plugged it into the mobile car charger and it turned on normally. so I looked to the battery stats and it was showing 20% of battery left, but the moment I took the energy cable, the phone turned off.
long story short: until now my phone is only working when connected to its charger, although it's saying 100% charged :/
from 01PM, the time I arrived, 'til now I've wiped everything I could, changed kernels, changed ROMs but it refuses to work.
I notice something, though: while charging I can use it normally, except if I try to use the camera. When I click on the camera app it turns off, as like it was not connected to the charger.
I'm about to install the stock ICS ROM to see if the problem vanishes, but I doubt it. let's see...
hope anyone can help me :/
EDIT: I'm using the stock ICS without any problem for like 10 minutes now. But when I was configuring it for the first time it turned off once. this was 10 minutes ago. oh, and the camera is taking pictures and not turning the phone off... when connected to the charger. when I take pictures USING FLASH without charging at the same time, it turns the phone off. pictures without flash are taken normally. goddamn it D: what this could be?

I would just try another battery.
If the problem doesn't occure due to the system, it can only be a hardwareproblem.
So just ask a friend and put the battery of his/her phone into yours and check if the problem still exists.

reported for using a non gpl kernel.
Change it, if you wsnt to receive help at xda, or go ask in th*rs forums...
You are like high on weed going to cops(xda) to ask them about thc content (the kernel that shall not br named)... and then not expecting a scolding.

[Q] My Note cannot work without charger! Im Panicking!!

I bought a galaxy note GT-N7000 on March 10th, 2012. Today while using the phone, it automatically switched off. I thought "ok fine...just an android glitch" and switched it back on. But as soon as it turned back on and the home screen appeared, not even 3 seconds later, the phone screen flickers for half a second and the phone instantly turns off. This keeps on happening if i turn the phone on again and again as it switches off, but when I connect it to the charger and turn on the power, the phone doesn't turn off. So now, I cannot remove the phone from the power supply and Im freaking out! :crying: Oh and I tried factory resetting the phone twice but it doesnt solve the problem! ANY help would be a life saver! I have not rooted my phone and it runs samsung's stock ICS and I dont even have any launchers. I use my phone as clean and careful as possible; its been 9 months and I still havent removed the laminations on the back panel or the charger, so you can imagine what kind of guy I am! Please HELP ME, im panicking!! Thanx in advance!

First of all stop doing a factory reset on stock ICS kernel as dont know when your phone will get bricked.
It could be a pins contact probelm in the battery compartment. Remove the battery and check if the pins are fine and touching the right places. Clean it ... or the battery just died on you and need a new battery.

1st. Do not factory reset or format anything if you still on stock ICS kernel.. You phone will brick.
2nd. Try new battery or borrow from you friends.

omg! I didnt know that factory resetting on stock ICS can brick your phone!! Thanks for the precious info! I checked the terminals...they look brand new...so does the terminals on the battery (I rarely had the need to open the back panel). I will try another battery and get back to you guys. Thank you so much for your help!

Id bring it back for warrantee if I were you

I am also having same problem, my problem arrived once I flashed my note with 4.1.1 JB ROM.
My note powers off even it is above 90% of battery, if I try to connect 3G data.
If I start it same it powers off after 3-5 seconds on home screen.
If I connect it to charger and start it; it works fine even if I disconnect charger once note starts.
It works normal until I connect again to 3G data ot battery drains below 40 -30 %
After 40% it randomly power off or some time works till full battery drain.
If any one have solution please share.
Thanks in advance

Back from service center. Dead Battery and replaced mother board.
Hey guys, I gave my phone to the service center on 26th and got it back yesterday. They said that they replaced the main board and said that the battery is dead and they had lost 2 screws of the mother board which I found only when I came home and opened the back body by myself (opened cause there was a minute misalignment on the back body). I replaced them with 2 screws from the back body for now and have to take the phone to them again or buy those screws from some electronic shop. They also said that they don't have a Galaxy Note N7000 battery in stock and so did the other service centers here in Chennai, India. I tried searching for it in almost 7 to 8 cellphone shops but surprisingly nobody has stock of it! Can a year old phone's accessories just disappear so fast? I also tried ebay.in but all of them sell it in loose packing with seller warranty which makes me think twice about the genuineness of the product. Any advice as in what direction I must proceed now?

It might be a problem with your battery. My phone gives the problem described above because its battery is completely dead but works fine with a different battery. But my friend who has our same phone has a puffed battery and has the problem that you described. Also his battery drains faster than a normal GT-N7000 battery and sometimes switches off while playing games or doing other tasks that consume more power. Just try to use it with another battery and see if the problem still persists.

guys check the accessory section, there are some batteries suggested as well as vendors if you want new batery.
If warrantee covers it try that first. If like in above example they dont have in stock demand an alternative, especially if its covered by warrantee. You have rights you know.

A couple of days ago I ran into the same issue with my 10 month old note...
Not able to fully boot up phone... After 3 seconds since the power up
It was shutting off.
Battery was showing charge.
Got a new battery... Everything perfect now

Youve got a problem on your battery..you can try that using a new battery that should fix your problem if the problem still there,take your phone to the ssc

[Q] Sudden Death for Note N7000 ?

Hi XDA folks,
I request your help because something weird happened to my Samsung Galaxy Note (GT-N7000), and I need your suggestions for a repair.
What happened :
The phone seems hard-bricked, it doesn't turn on anymore.
No access to download and recovery mod. No charge icon anymore.
It is not the battery, direct charging didn't work.
How :
That's the problem : I don't know : it's a sudden death.
Last evening, I charged it up to 100%, removed the cable, sent some sms, then shut down the screen and went to sleep. At the next morning, the phone was dead.
The phone never fall, nor try to be a submarine.
The phone is almost 2 years-old, but only used those last 4 months.
The phone was never rooted and was under ICS (last samsung update in Belgium).
Request :
Does anyone have an idea about what happened ?
Any suggestion ? Any test to try ?
Is it a known bug fixable ? - or - Can I start sparing for a new phone ?
Thank you very much in advance,
Stefouch

Im the 2 today just a minute ago mine is dead 2.
Have to do a lot of reading here and when i succeed i will let it know.

First of all: test with a different and fully loaded battery.

Like ThaiDai mentioned, try with a different battery. You could be having the same problems that I had.
My battery was swollen. (Due to excessive charging, this reduces battery life like crazy, 70% jumped to 1% in a second.
PLUS
The circuit board of the my charging board is burnt so adb and direct charging doesn't work.
Cost me about $100 to fix them. $50 for each component. Ouch..
If your phone works after using another battery works, you might wanna look into the two problems I mentioned.

To Stefouch ,
Is your phone still dead?
I did not read your first post that good and saw later you cant get to download mode any more.
At first it looked I could not get into download mode , but I had to press those buttons for a longer time ( 30 sec + ).
After all I get my phone working again with a firmware and flash with Odin.
If want to try again to get into download mode by holding the buttons for a longer time I post again.

As mentioned previously, I tried direct charging on the battery connectors but it changes nothing. The battery is not involved.
I also changed the circuit board in a repair shop, unfortunately it didn't reanimate my samsung.
The tech said he can't do anymore unless putting a new Note mother board, but that's almost 300 bucks.

Got like the same problem with N7000. Phone in use for about 11 months. Dropped it more then once but not last few months, find it hard to believe you didn't ever drop in in almost 700 days, but ow well you must be that one in a million guy, hèhè. Anywhooo... Phone was fully charged overnight. It had been of charger for only few hours. Got a call from friend, but I was buzzy, so ignored it. When I wanted to call him back an hour later phone didn't respond in any way. Went to store, they said it wasn't battery but most likely the power-grid or something like it he said. Spoke about changing a module. But as there are signs of damage on the outside they said warranty is no longer valid. He to said the micro USB did not go well in the port of the phone, which he connected to the failure of the phone. To my disappointment I can say, this flaw was present when I got the phone (new!). I figured getting it in difficultly was normal cause I had nothing to compare it to. But feel pretty screwed by my provider. So now I think about changing that specific module, but the guy from the store spoke about billing me around 90 euros (like $130) for the repair. So now feel double screwed by Vodaphone because: The module itself is for sale online between 23,95-32,95 euro, so they wanted to charge me 60 euro for 5 minutes work. I'm totally broke right now so can't tell you if this is gonna work. And with a week waiting till my pay-check is gonna make me whole again, I got the opportunity to learn from other peoples experience. So perhaps this is something for you to try?
I know for sure I got this eMMC Brickbug (tested it with the app) and I'm not sure I updated my Note the right way last year.
So...
Is it possible a new (automatic) update screwed me over and most of all: screwed the hardware?
Other QUESTIONS:
Could it be the Micro-USB module?
I used the phone much for online gaming, so it got pretty hot at the back sometimes. Did you have the same? Can anyone else relate to this?

If you take a light bulb connect it to power and shake it, the inside wiring will reconnect when it makes contact and work again. So changing the bulb is mostly because we THINK it's not fixable or being lazy. Most things we can fix ourselves or with a little help from our fellow users.
If there is still warranty left you should indeed try to take advantage of that. But please ask the guy that fixed it what was wrong and what was replaced and share it with us.
Hope you too will be able to fix it cheap.
Thanks all in advance!
