[Q] Galaxy Note won't boot or charge

I was out this afternoon and left my phone at home with 37% battery left. I got home 2 hours later my phone was dead. I plugged the phone into the wall charger, no response. Usb into computer, no response. I even tried using other compatible charger, no response. I have tried removing the battery method, no response.

I had the same problem but not with the Note, it was with my S2.
In the end, it couldn't be revived and I had to get rid of it.
Best of luck, let's hope it's just hibernating.

Did you try to get in recovery mode?
Rec mode: 1e vol up + 2e home + 3e power button, keep your fingers on the buttons and wait 10 till 20 sec to get in to recovery and try to reset/wipe your phone.
Also keep your phone in the charger for a few hours

maybe some issue with the battery? did you try swapping the battery?

i think you have a bad device. This has been going on with galaxy s2 phones and even with nexus phones. Some hardware defect. My galaxy note was working fine and one day I woke up and disconnected my galaxy note from power. guess what? the note kept charging even after I disconnected the usb cord. The phone was only a month old and this defect came along. I tried cleaning the usb connector with tooth brush, even attempted to push the inside pins down towards the back. I have had success for about 5 minutes but when i restarted the phone, it came back to charging mode with battery charging animation. The phone actually discharged quickly and once turned off, can't be turned on again. I would have to connect the usb power cord to power up the phone. I have tried different battery, changed to stock rom and resetted the phone several times. No luck at all. I sent in the phone to claro phone company (dominican republic) and after several days of playing with the phone, they have decided to give me a new phone. The only reason I am getting a new phone is because I know the director in the cell division of that company; otherwise, I would be screwed.

Ok.. I think my note is possessed or something. Right after I posted this thread it started working again. Like a minute after. Removed abyssnote and all sort of launchers I have been using. Just a note to all. A backup is always a must. Just saying. Previously I had a few hangs here and there and self reboot. I think the kernel has some problem. Gonna run on stock kernel for awhile. Just turned one month my note
if lives got you down throw in the god mode

nice!
well I'm screwed, just waiting for my spare battery with external charger to arrive so I can start using my Note again. The phone won't recognize the charger.
to add insult to injury, I have no clue where my phone came from, all I kept was just the phone a week after i had it.
looks like now I have a good reason to buy a white one, and i'll save the black one for parts.

Hardbricked LG Revolution

I have an LG Revolution that will not enter emergency download mode, infact I can't even get the screen to turn on no matter what I do. What happened was the battery was alot less charged than I had thought during a restoration using LGNPST; and it seems that the battery died right in the middle of the restoration.
Ideas?

had this happen once, try leaving it wall charging for a while then plug it in via usb, while plugged in via usb after chargin remove and replace batt do hard reset with phone completely off (pow + vol down) lgnpst should start then.

That didn't work. The phone won't even charge.

You may have already tried but just in case try to enter emergency download mode by taking out the battery, then plug in usb to computer, then hold power and volume UP -- not down, and then while continuing to hold the buttons insert battery.

Tried it a million times.

Any luck yet? I'm curious how this turns out...
Anyway just a random thought I had... maybe you could take it in to a store and have them charge the battery for you. It might respond better with a full battery.
Just a total guess but you never know...

I've tried to charge the battery using a USB cable connected directly to the negative and positive on the battery, but I'm not quite sure if it charged the battery as the phone still doesn't respond. I'm going to take this phone and a hardbricked HTC Thunderbolt I've got into a Verizon store some time today or tomorrow. Thanks for the input.

[Q] Help please - Phone Bricked

I bought a Moto G 2014 Dual Sim XT1068 back in November and hadn't had any issues with it until today. I bought an anger 3000MaH portable battery pack and was amazed at how quickly it charged my phone. I used it yesterday and charged it overnight. I used it throughout today. I turned it off around midday and plugged it into my charger. When I attempted to turn it on later nothing happened. No, please charge, no **** has crashed, just nothing. The screen just stays dark. My computer no longer recognises it as a device and my portable charger will no longer recognise it as a phone to be charged, I know this because it worked with a friends phone, but not mine, and it still has battery (the charger)
What should I do?
Do I use ADB, ask Anker, return it, what is my best course of action?
If anyone knows what to do please reply as until this is fixed I do not have any ideas.
PS; No rooting, bootloader unlocking, or use of custom ROMs has occurred, the phone is completely using stock android.

I soft-bricked mine yesterday because TWRP kept crashing when I flashed my ROM. During my search for a solution I ran into a post from a guy with a similar problem of yours. His phone wouldn't charge at all.
He solved his problem by pressing PWR+VolDwn for 3 minutes. Then plug it in to a charger and leave it be. And make sure to use a proper charger (cable straight from the wall preferably)
Give that a try. Try ruling out a hardware problem. And return it as a last resort. Good luck

TRY this plug in charger and hold power for 2 mins+ to force a reset and forced boot up - holding for 120 seconds + is the key and repeat charger cable must be plugged in.
- power and volume down is normally to get to AP fastboot flash mode, agreed a good wall charger is needed not usb port power.

Okey, you are probably right. I was quoting from my foggy mind

Phone battery drained now won't power up

Hi all,
Last night I was using my Nexus and the battery died during use. It happens. I plugged it in to charge and got a green LED which I though was odd since I had never seen that before. After a few seconds I got the familiar battery symbol on the screen but I noticed it wasn't charging. unplugged and replugged then went to sleep. I woke up the next morning to a very dead phone. No button combination would power it back on. I thought maybe the phone didn't charge at all so I moved it to a second Motorola Turbo Charger I have and left it for an hour. Came back, nothing. I then moved it to a Qi charger to see what happens. Came back an hour later, nothing again. I've tried several other chargers, and also charging via PC USB to no avail.
When I plug it in to my laptop I do get a "device recognized" tone from Windows 10 but nothing more. Device manager doesn't show me anything. ADB devices doesn't show anything.
At this point what can I do? This is the second RMA I've had to do from Motorola, the first was a bad power button.
Help!

try a different usb chord and try a different charger, they can "die" rather quickly sometimes.

Yep, I've tried several working chargers. No go. Including wireless chargers.

try this, my phone stops charging occasionally and this is what I do.. I boot into recovery(twrp recovery, it shows if charging or not), I see it charging there, then I boot back into system. if you don't have twrp recovery, try it with stock recovery. hopefully you have enough of a charge to try.

Thanks simms, still no luck. There's no charge at all on this one so I can't even get it to recovery.

Try long pressing the power button for 20 seconds...

what's odd is that it won't charge on a wireless charger. my USB is kinda broken, so I use a wireless charger. it could be that the battery itself is messed up, maybe you need a new battery. if you had it here, in NYC, I'd offer to try to fix it for you(no charge), well if it doesn't need a new battery.
---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------
does the wireless charger have a light on it, for when its charging? if you put your phone on it, does a light go on?

Thanks simms!
Still no luck so you're probably right. Likely a bad battery. I contacted Motorola since I bought it from them directly and had me RMA it without many questions. Hopefully I have a working Nexus again in a week or so.

The phone was less than a year old.
It was actually a replacement device as the original one I bought had a bad power button (it was hard to press).

Yes, definitely tried it. Tried getting it into recovery as well without luck.

Battery 100% On, 80% Off

phone says 100% but says 80% when off charging
Tried:-
1. 2 different battery callibration apps
2. charging 100%, depleting battery. repeated process a couple of times
3. Switched to Stock (Rooted), 2 Custom ROMs (Waited till it was 100% on both on and off before flashing)
Notes:-
1. Battery seems perfectly fine (takes a while before depleting and doesnt deplete before 0%)
Currently using stock rooted

l would start with replacing the cable and charger to make sure you are getting a full charge. Then monitor the usage time on your phone over a few weeks and see if the time to empty is getting less that is a sure sign of a bad battery

Recheck with another fast charger. Generally, we cannot say if is a faulty cable or you have an faulty adapter. I hope the device chargeboard is not shot/motherboard driven related issue. Also, have you recovered the device using Samsung Kies- Emergency firmware recovery?

I tried - original cable with original charger 6hr
- original cable with apple charger 2hr
- different cable with original charger 1.30hr
- different cable with apple charger 2hr
(Used different fast chargers too, same results)
I tried a smart switch recovery. Same conclusion which makes me think its a hardware issue

With original charger it takes 6hrs!!! Holy ****
I think its a usb port problem for sure.. Do one thing while connected to the charger go to device maintenance and open battery menu and see if it say charging via AC or USB if while us8ng the original charger it shows Chaging via USB then certainly its the port that has gone faulty..
Hit thanks if helped

Hello everyone! Though its not the right place to ask the question but I have been seeking solution to my problem from months. Long time before, my Galaxy Note II started to behave differently. Whenever I charged it completely, the phone worked normally till 75% to 80% and all of sudden a =low battery warning indication appears and phone proceeds to shut down. I tried changing ROM and calibrating the battery again but nothing worked. Finally I replaced the battery with a new one and also clean flashed another ROM in a hope to see if the problem is gone or still there. But to my surprise the problem is still intact. Now, when I turn on the phone the battery is 90% and when I keep using it, it drains normally, but as soon it reaches round about 80%, it turns off randomly. When I turn the phone back on the battery is still at the same percentage level at which is turns off. I believe there is not an issue with the battery. Please help me what to do, I am using TWRP recovery that doesn't gives the battery stats wipe option too. Should I flash a new ROM again? I would greatly appreciate if someone please helps me in sorting this problem.
What I have already done!
1. Replaced the battery
2. Changed the ROM
3. Re-calibrated the battery

I have this weird issue thats been bugging me for a while now. The phone says 100% when im on it but when i power off and charge, it says 86%.

I have noticed the same issue, I think. I suspect it is a general bug.
Guys, try charging your phone while in Android. When it reads 100%, switch off your device. Either leave the charge cable attached or reattach it after you have switched off. Now wait for the off-line charging icon to appear. Unless I'm mistaken, the percentage won't correspond with whatever your phone reports while your in Android. If Android says 100%, this will be a lower number. And off-line charging will keep on charging until you reach 100%.

Sorry for the late response. Internet finished, had to wait until the renewal date. During this time, i wiped the rom and re-installed it (Khongloi V11). Since there was no internet, i didnt sign in any accounts, Switched off the location. The phone surprisingly took 3 days before reaching 0.
Indeed, it says USB Charging 6hrs. I sometimes keep plugging and unplugging, it changes to A/C 2hrs.

I have this problem too. But I change batt_capacity_max to 1000, phone on 100% phone off 100%. If we recharge to full it will return to the same state (phone on 100, phone off ~80) so i need to change again. I don't know if this destroy my battery life ? I don't know why. I thought I'm the only 1 who have this problem? (sorry for my bad english)

I think this may be a software/firmware problem, not a problem with the battery.

I figured that was the problem but i tried it with three different roms (Khongloi V11, Final, Stock).
Maybe it's some kind of battery protection thing created when your battery is old or something?

The various ROMs may all use the same battery raportage code, which doesn't account for this discrepancy. After all, most ROMs are just fancy reskins of stock Android.
That said, maybe Samsung support can shed some light on what's going on.
On a side note? Is there anyone who reads this thread, whose reported battery charge (in percentages) is the same in Android as when the device is switched off and charging?

So... any solutions?
