[Q] Phone thinks it is charging

the sgs, when switched off, thinks that it is connected to a charger and that big battery screen shows up, at first the phone wasnt turning off after that.
ive since flashed using odin and 3 files hoping it would help. the phone now turns on but once switched off it continues to think that it is charging.
when i try and reboot, which i must do by plugging in a charger then pressing the power button once charging actually starts a minute later, the phone goes into a boot loop. Once it managed to get through after around 15mins.
I can get into both download and recovery mode. main problem is that the phone doesnt ever turn off (charging screen comes on), and that booting up is difficult and is hit or miss.
I have looked for other threads on this but havent found anything, so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Felleese

Try a factory reset...

Thanks for the tip but it hasn't helped.
Anything else I should try?

[Q] Phone completely dead. Any ideas?

Today my phone suddenly died on me and refuses to boot up. I came home from work and the phone was working fine. Made a few phone calls, checked a few apps etc. Battery was about 70%.
I left the phone aside and when I picked it up at bed time, it had shut down. Now it doesn't boot at all. I thought maybe the battery had suddenly died down and put it to charge but it isn't turning on at all. Can't even get to the LG logo. Anyone have any clue what to do?
I thought I was one of the lucky few to get a handset which didn't reboot
Edit: Thought I should mention that I was running stock ROM, rooted, with CWM recovery installed

Can you bring up recovery mode? Did you try NVFlash?

Remove and replace the battery first and then try charging trough your usb cable and pc. Let it charge for a few minutes and try to boot.

had the same problem.
nvflash fixed it, once the problem was solved I kept getting reboots 20x a day so I nvflashed again and flashed CM7 and havent had a reboot/ BSOD since. I also thought I was one of the lucky ones that didn't reboot at first btw

Thanks guys. Wouldn't power up at all in normal or recovery so couldn't nvflash it. Tried usb, charging etc etc.
However after countless battery pulls just started up again and working perfectly since. I've powered up my trusty htc magic as a backup meanwhile. No idea what went wrong at all.

by recovery you ment CWM or Upgrade mode? (that is remove battery, hold volume down button and plug in usb while holding it)

Not tried upgrade mode just the volume+power. Maybe something to keep in mind for next time.

ok, i just wanted to make sure that upgrade mode works even if the phone is completely ****ed up

Phone bricked itself?

I have no idea what happened. I turned my phone on, it booted to the OS no problem. Nothing was wrong until I noticed that my network said Verizon Wireless, when it should have said Rogers (I live in Canada and am using GSM). So I went to the "mobile network" tab in the settings menu, and my phone just shut off. It was at least at 80% and just shut off. I can't even turn it on now. I have no idea what happened. I can't even turn it on by pressing vol down + power. Plugging it in to the charger does nothing either. I am running the 4/7 build I think of AOKP/ICS leak on 6.16.213. Also, if I plug it in to my PC via USB, the green LED comes on but nothing else happens.

I have the same problem !
Any ideas ?
I exactly the same, when I plug my phone, only instant green led ...
Help !!!

Could an electrostatic discharge of some kind damaged the phone?

What was your battery level beforehand?

My phone did this as well tho I was only stock when it happened... it was I'm guessing a bad USB cable and charger I tried 4 which work just fine on my RAZR but do not on my d4... I finally found one the works and I only use it...

I have find my bad :
When my phone is in fastboot mode, is discharge, and I left it in this mode = no battery ...
I have find one thing : Apple Wall charger can boot the phone, but never whit PC and same USB cable ...
I have making an Factory cable (just connect the PIN5 to +5V USB) and now my phone can be run fastboot with no batery (I think the PIN5 emulate a good battery)
Thanks a lot
Now, I mus unbrick it !

My phone did this today..... No idea why, it starts to boot up and it says "Droid", and then shuts down. It was plugged into our Mac laptop overnight to charge. No idea what is going on. Only thing I can recall changing was turning on Roaming Data in the settings. I am on the current stock rom, and rooted on the Verizon network. I have to unplug it again and replug it to boot up again. I really hate this non-removable battery deal.

Is My Ace Bricked? SOLVED

So I have a S5830D, and it's been working fine for the past while. It's rooted and I have this ROM on it. It was working fine, and I haven't removed any apps or installed anything for a while, but I noticed that when I tried charging it, my phone wouldn't respond to the charger(it wouldn't show as charging). Using a new outlet, and trying to charge it from my computer via USB didn't work either, so I tried turning it off, but now I can't turn it back on. I get no response at all. No Samsung logo or anything. Is my phone bricked, or is there something wrong with the hardware?
Would this work for a 5830D, or is there something else I can try to unbrick it, if it is bricked?
EDIT:I can put it into emergency download mode, and RAM DUMP ARM9?
EDIT2: Managed to turn it back on, it seems like the battery drained, and I wasn't able to charge it through my stock charger. Had to connect it to my PC for a few minutes. However, now I can only charge through my PC, and not through the normal wall outlet charger. Any clues as to how to fix this?

[Q] X8 won't charge

Greetings,
My father owns my old Xperia X8 which is rooted with nAa14 kernel and PrimeHD ROM. He had problems charging it so he though it's from the USB cable and bought a new one today. The X8 "died" (left with absolutely no battery) so he started charging it with the new cable, the LED turned on and the phone started charging and after 4-5 hours charging he tried to turn on the phone and there was no battery (you know when your phone has no battery the LED blinks a few times when you try to turn it on). He plugged it again and instead of the LED turning on it started blinking every 1-2 sec in red-orange color. The phone is completely dead. Tried to reflash 2.1 with Flashtool but nothing....
The phone worked today and he just turned it off and that's it. Also he tried charging it into my computer and still nothing.

I have that problem too ( First it was blinking red light for 3 times and phone cant turn on,with chatger ny phone has turn on,but after while phone stops charging... I have flash 2.1 rom.but after that charger and usb doesnt work. I try with 3 differrent chatgers but doesnt work. On net i found that someone write that red led light means that phone was in water... But it didnt have,it didnt rain and nothing.. Its really that phone has been turned off and stayed there for some time because i got xperia j. I try everything... I buy new battery... But phone wont charge,usb not working... ((
Is maybe problems that custom kernel and roms are make this bugs? Because we all have some bugs with charging who are on custom roms,kernels... Now the bug has become bigger.

Absolutely the same for him... he haven't touched the phone for a week... no water etc

I had my phone having problem charging too.I guess the usb in the phone spoilt? Oh maybe too much charging?
