[Q] Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4g no longer turned on - Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G

Hi. I'm very new to xda and unsure how it all works, so please excuse me if my 1st post isn't written with the proper terminology! Ok. So, here's my issue. I, have the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4g. It, was rooted with cwm, running on jellybean 4.1.2. Recently, I was installing a new rom, from Slim. I, found it on xda. I, believe it's called Black Out. I, was doing a backup, while, in cwm recovery mode, and I happened to fall asleep in the middle of the backup. I, woke up an hr or so later, only to discover my phone completely turned off and wouldn't turn back on! I, had a full battery. I, have tried on numerous occassions to leave the battery out for several hrs and replace it, but still nothing! I've used different chargers and still nothing. Not, even a light blinks! The only thing, I haven't tried is replacing the battery. The phone is only 3-4mo old, so I didn't think it would be the battery. I've never seen this happen before! The ROM, didn't even get installed! I've searched high and low about my problem, and haven't come across not 1 solution! Could, this just be a case of a bad battery, or of a bigger issue?? I'm still under waranty but of course already being rooted, and having no way to get into my phone to unroot, I've voided that! PLEASE, if anyone can help with some support I'd GRATELY appreciate it! Anything, that can help save me $, would be wonderful! Thank you!

Sounds like you may have installed a rom for a different phone as I have not heard of a slim blackout rom. I am sorry to say you probably bricked your device. If it doesn't even power on them you have no way of getting into Odin mode.

If you didn't install a ROM and just did a backup your batt is prob just dead try leaving it charged for a few hours. Doing a backup won't brick your phone

Yeah if its a backup then you can't brick your phone doing it. Sounded to me like you were installing a rom when it happened though?

If you want to see if its the battery, go to batteries plus, they will let you try the battery to make sure that is the problem

If you didn't install the ROM try another battery try getting the premium battrey got one 2 wks ago and works good even has a chip in it that prevents the battery from over heating Which probley happened in your situation.

Yes, I did notice it wasn't the correct rom for my device afterwards But I never got the chance to install the rom. It was on my sd card but never updated. I was in the middle of backing up my phone, on a full battery before it just went dead! I'm going to try a new battery and see if that was the problem. I hope so! Thank you for your advice!

OG SGT won't charge

My Fiancée has been using my SGT since I got my Flyer last year, and has had no problems until recently. A few days ago, it stopped taking a charge altogether. It says it's charging, but is stuck at 8%.
I'm wondering if any one else has experienced this, and if it can be corrected without a factory reset (she doesn't want to lose progress in her apps, and won't let me root because I soft bricked it soon after I got it, and couldn't find the fix for a month.)
I know the fix is probably a factory reset... Can someone please remind me how to get into stock recovery to clear the cache? I can't remember the key combination.
Most likely I'll have to root it, and back up all her junk, factory reset, and leave it on a stock rooted rom (I'll just tell her I unrooted... Lol)

Thanks, hadn't had to do that in a while... I thought about it, and I don't think I'd even be able to root/flash with 8% battery... Any thoughts on how I could pull this off?

root is quick.
flash may take a while.
but depending on how good is the charge holding. 8% may still pull it.

One thing you might want to try is to turn your tab off completely and let it charge. Once you figure out how to root, you can try battery calibration app. It may fix ur prob. Worst case you may need new cable/adapter/battery.

I did that actually, and no difference in result... I'm hoping I don't need to replace the battery...
Does the bootstrap app still work? Thats how I rooted originally, but I think it was still on froyo?

http://android-gz.com
well, this is how i solved it...
if it's rooted...
use battery calibrator....
or keep tab switched off for 4 hours or so...and then connect it to charger while switched off
if this also doesn't help then after connecting to charger while it's still off you can see a battery icon charging...simultaneously press switch on button and touch the screen ....if on aokp rom your tab will instantly reboot as i've noticed....if on stock rom which i was on when this thing happened to me....your tab will show a black screen and then again the battery charging icon shoots up....
One of the above things worked for me....i was enjoying my vacations when i encountered this problem and so i cannot remember exactly which of these things worked....
Hit thanks if i've helped..
calibrate your battery.. use third apps on play store

Thanks guys, but it's not rooted...
So I was about to factory reset it, and took the SD out, then decided to wait so that I could at least copy the files from the internal to my laptop to give her SOMETHING back... I went back a few hours later, and it had a 73% charge... I don't know what it was, but somehow, taking the SD out, and putting it back in fixed the problem...
I think I'm still gonna root it for safety's sake, but it's still taking a charge, and is up to 80% now...

Keep an eye on it
My tab also suddenly started charging....but after an increase of about 20% or so it again stuck....many people here got this problem....

Phone repair for unknown cause, help please.

Hi guys, this is first time posting in the HTC Incredible S forum as I usually stay on my own X8. However, my dad is pissed off with htc and I offered to help.
Ok so here's what happened. My dad upgraded to the 4.0.X official ROM software. But somehow or another the games first started crashing, then one day he woke up with an error message saying that his applications used up more battery than his charging. Then his whole phone went dead.
So anw he sent it to HTC for repair but it costs $300+ and i'm quite poor so please can anyone help me?
BTW, it's not boot looping. It's totally screwed and can't be turned on.
Here's the weird part (i've never encountered this before). He didn't even root it or modify it in anyway (not even using a different launcher or wallpaper other than stock HTC ones).
So could somebody tell me what's wrong? Cos I'm a sony user and i've no idea what are you guys talking about S-ON thingy and whatever.
And could someone tell me how to fix his phone?
Please?

try taking the battery out and putting it back in. otherwise take out the battery and plug the usb cable in and see if the phone boots up. if it does then either the battery is either screwed or something is wrong with motherboard or something like that. if its completely stock run a RUU that you can get from the development page which will put the phone back to stock. EDIT- here is a ruu http://d-h.st/AYt
$300+ to repair an HTC, what is it made of solid gold? Another thing, why are you paying for your dads fone to be repaired???

Battery problem

Hi Folks, I hve had my note for 1 year now and haven't had any battery problems until 2 days ago when I flashed a jb rom. All was fine for about 10 hours when I started to recharge the battery again that went fine, charged to 100% and unplugged, the phone said it was at 100%. After another few hours the phone cut out, no warning just cut out. I could get the phone back on but only when plugged into the charger. So, heres my problem, phone says battery is fully charged but when I unplug the charger it cuts out now. if I boot in to recovery with out the charger it stays on for hours. if I try to start the phone up normally with out charger it doesn't work. I have tried another battery again it started fine for almost a day then the same problems again. I have tried several kernels and roms in case it was one of those that was causing the problem but its the same every time. Im not a newb when it comes to flashing roms some im 100% sure its all ok in that department. any help would be appreciated.
thanks

What really matters here is your screen on time (I can get around 4h30 with heavy use). I also see you have a few notifications so there might be some draining apps running in the background (like that *** Facebook app which is constantly running in the background even with notifications off). In any case BBS should help you identify the "rogue" app (if any). Also I don't use Google Now as it's kind of a battery killer.
this problem is same with me...after 1 year use gnote
and this is battery problem..i dont know whats is causing it...
i try to enter recovery mode and ..battery is good..almost 4 hours screen on recovery mode
but if I try to start the phone up normally phone is reboot after 1minute in homescreen android
trying with different rom jb ..same problem ..
after replace my battery ..problem is gone..
@strachg If the phone used to work well before you flashed JB I'd recommend going back to ICS to see if the problem persists. If it disappears the reason is JB which would not supprise me since all JB roms for the Note are not really bug free. If the phone continues to behave like you described and changing the battery does not help either I'd say it's a hardware failure.

Hi, Yeah I already tried going back to ics and it was just the same, it just seems like a bit of coincidence and really annoying lol. The only thing I can think off that is causing it is as you say that its a hardware fault and it must be overcharging the battery and breaking it. If it was JB that was causing it im sure I wouldn't have been the only one by now.
thanks
Graham
how did you install jb? Was it clean on safe kernel? You havent eliminated the possibility of software issues.
Qazibazit, it looks ok.
Guideline 3,5-4,5 hours on screen time is normal (if you play games can be less, thus is from full to 1%). Total standby time, usually more then 24 hours is normal.
If you have a lot less, go read ahalfords sticky on wakelocks. All you need to know to optimize battery.

Hi baz 77 yeah using safe kernel, tried a few actually. And using utackas. Version of paranoid android now again tried a few Roms. Everything was wiped and redone the process about 20 times. I looked through all the roms. And kernel threads and no one has had this problem. New battery coming so will see how it goes now.

[Q] Heavy battery drain when on charger

Hi there!
Ok so recently my Cappy has decided its going to be screwy. For some reason if I plug it in to charge, it doesn't charge, instead I get a battery drain 5-7% within about 20 mins. I've tried 5 different cables (Zip cord, walmart one, random ones I found/borrowed, one staright plug in one not usb) and 5 different chargers (car/wall plugin hybrid, apple wall charge two different computers.) and its all the same result. I can still use it as a USB no problem, moved some files around and removed and added soem photos no problem. There is no issue with the port itself (on the outside) my cover snapped off but I make sure to keep it clean.
I also have no odd battery draining I can usually get about 12-14 hours out of it. No out of place wakelocks, no apps running wild, and all my backups are on the cloud or on my laptop. Only thing I could think this is is a hardware issue. That or its just time to get a new phone. Thankfully I have an external battery charger and I've just been switching out batteries.
Any thoughts?

My guess is that you need a new battery.
Does it show the charging animation? Also, when plugged to the pc, does fast charge help at all?
Does it charge when the phone is turned off?

That's just it, I bought 2 new batteries, RavPower ones. They work great and last forever when I charge. My original battery and my cheap one off ebay do the same.
And yes it shows the charging thing, by battery monitor says it's charging and shows the different kinds like a/c or usb, everything acts as it should just no charging.
I have never tried the fast charge, I forgot I even had that. I'll give it a shot.

Also are you OC'ing or changing the Voltages? Probably won't make a difference in this issue but worth looking into. My Cappy refuses to OC at all, even at 102% it starts to act weird (System UI crashes sometimes, I lose signal, etc).

I actually have mine stable at 110% still don't know how lol. Cappys seem to be very picky. I'll try turning it back down.

Apparently Samsung's hardware consistency control was lacking when the Captivate was made, so that's why they're so picky, which sucks for any kind of troubleshooting or development.
I wish I could get my Cappy to 110%. But try turning it back to 100% see if that changes anything. Also does this happen on multiple ROMs or just the one you're currently on (probably not the issue but hey I've seen weirder).

Got it, off-topic but any reason you haven't gone to Slim build 4? I saw slight improvement in performance on my Cappy. Was my daily driver until this morning when I flashed C-Rom v16, which for me is as fast. Just trying to get used to how big everything is compared to Slim, I liked being able to read about 7-8 messages in the messaging app, but now I can only see about 3 lol.

Sorry x3 was a smiley not a build number, I'm on 4.2.
Anyways! I let my phone charge while off for about an hour. It was at 49% turned it back on and it was at 23% see what I mean? That's a crazy amount of juice.
Also, yeah I did play around with some other ROMs and I hated how big they all are, I like how small everything is on Slim. It just works better for me. X3

I don't understand why it's DRAINING your battery instead of charging it. Seems like something got reversed?

I'll try not to use it so you don't get confused. Its just habit.
I don't either. I really did see much on hardware issues that would drain it like this. I really am stumped by this.
And recently I did flash back to stock and work my way back up to Slim to see if it would help and it didn't. I didn't think to see if it would charge on stock or CM 10 but if it really came down to it I guess I could flash back to stock and play with it. Only reason I don't think it's the ROM is because to my knowledge no one else is having this particular issue.
If you have anything I can do to test or provide info just ask. I'll do whatever is needed to help figure it out. And I'd really like to as I'll have this phone for a bit longer then I thought so I'd like to see it fixed
Sent from my SGH-I897 using Tapatalk 2
Do you have a battery charger? Like one that you just attach the battery to, to charge it. We could then see if it's your batteries (highly doubt) or your cappy (99.999% sure).
I don't really want to suggest checking with multi-meters only because the phone internals would be exposed while it's on and if you're not used to working with hardware like that you could accidentally short something etc.
Why not make a nandroid, flash to CM10, see what happens with your battery then. That way, if you ever need to go back to your current ROM you could just restore it.

Do you have a battery charger? Like one that you just attach the battery to, to charge it. We could then see if it's your batteries (highly doubt) or your cappy (99.999% sure).
I don't really want to suggest checking with multi-meters only because the phone internals would be exposed while it's on and if you're not used to working with hardware like that you could accidentally short something etc.

Yeah I do, it's what I've been doing to keep using my phone, I've had this problem for a month now. I think.
It was suggested I open up the phone and check the charge port, make sure it's clean, that kinda stuff but I don't want to do that unless I'm absolutely 100% sure it's not something else.
Wouldn't hurt. I'll go try it. Thanks for being so helpful. :3

Huzzah! Well, I got CM loaded, did a full wipe too. Everything looks so big. I'll report back in an hour or two. :3
EDIT
And its charging!
I guess it is in fact the ROM. Dang. I wonder why?
I'm going to see if I can get this to charge fully before bringing it to the SlimBean thread. Just to be extra sure.
EDIT
It seems to get to around 30% (31% as of now) and it just stops. It won't charge any higher. Been like that for about 45 mins.
And EDIT again. x3
Ok so I (still on CM10) couldn't get it go charge past 30% so I decided, I'm gonna poke around and I thought back on the fast charge, I wondered if it had an app, I managed to find one (Fast Battery Charging x2) and ITS CHARGING! I downloaded another app before this called Battery Mix, I love it as it has awesome battery graphs, anyways before I used Fast Battery Charging x2 it (Battery Mix) didn't have any stats on how long it would take to charge, now it does, says about 3 hrs to full, so we shall see where it goes. I don't know how the app works but I will wait and see. If this works I'll hop back to Slim and see if I can't make it work there. I don't know if it will though.
EDIT:
Got to 100%, going to flash back to Slim and see if I can't get it to charge there with the setup in CM 10 I have now, if I doesn't then I guess it must be Slim?
Edit!
Alright so back to Slim and the best I could muster is to keep my battery level the same over night. I tried using the phone for a bit and the battery drain happened again. Overnight I had nothing installed aside from gapps.
Hm...So CM10 w/ fast charge seemed to work, but when you went back to Slim the problem re-appeared? That's extremely odd. I reverted back to Slim 4.2 when C-Rom v16 was slowing down, just dirty restored and charging isn't an issue. Have you tried C-Rom v16? It's based off of Slim Rom I think.
Try it I guess, lets see if it's any other custom CM10 based ROMs. This seems like such an odd issue...

Yeah, C-Rom worked great. Charged and everything. I ended up going back to Slim due to my power button being stupid again. It goes in and out and I couldn't find an option to do volume rocker wake on C-Rom so I switched back to Slim.
Its the weirdest thing. I don't even care about fixing it anymore as just figuring out the puzzle. X3

Haha, I share that feeling. Once something is wrong and I can't figure it out, it's not even about fixing it so much as knowing WHAT was wrong. Not sure if those settings are also available on the new ROM I'm trying now (GamerzROM, oddly enough I was going to port it for the captivate this weekend but I guess the devs beat me too it). If I see them while I'm playing around today I'll shoot you a PM.
But the fact that C-ROM works great, even though it's built off Slim (I think), puzzles me completely. Have you tried any other version of Slim?

Its just so annoying as I don't know a lot but I am trying to learn.
And thanks that would be fantastic actually. I appreciate it. :3
No I haven't I've tried CM 10 stable, Avatar, Pac-ROM (very fun ROM so many settings to mess with), C-ROM, Xylon, and Slim.

Nexus 6 random suddently turns off on every build. Logcat atatched.

Hi everyone.
My name is Adam, it's my first post here, but I'm already long time with you guys.
At the beginning i would apologise for my probably bad English. But I'm already desperate to write her and ask for help.
I'm definitely not newbie. But not a "geek" of course, but doesn't scared me rooting, img flashing, adb and fastboot command's etc. I've played already with old good Xperia X10, later with HTC Desire HD long time ago. This is also my third Nexus. First was N4, then N5 and now shamu.
But...
My N6 is also quite close to "meet the wall or floor"...
So, the problem is, my Nexus randomly, suddenly turned off. Without any warning. There is no rules. Sometimes one, two times per day, other time I'm turn them on, and after a while phone go's off again. Mostly happened that when network signal strength go's lower, but not always. Sometimes it's happening with max signal strength. Just like i says, no rules. I have tried everything. Flashing stock image -the same situation. Custom ROMs -nothing changed... Cyanogen Mods 13,14, different kernels tons of radios and bootloader's -really doesn't matter. Still the same.
Around year ago battery was changed. Using now not original, but also not some "cheaper no name" battery, without any issues. Doesn't look like that are on some way connected, but probably should i mention that.
Attached Logcat log (splitted because of size restrictions), dmesg log and some SysFS dump log created with Kernel Adiutor app.
Maybe those can help and explain something.
Please help... I love my phone much... we have explored together hundreds or thousends of builds and mods, but so far I'm really close to say goodbye to my old good friend Nexus.
Greetings and thanks in advance
Adam.

The logcat Has thousands of errors and many of the errors are rom related but there is also a few battery related
11-09 22:17:16.458 20299 20335 E BatteryStatsService: power: Missing API
This I bet is where it is causing an issue.
As for the battery I wouldnt trust anything but an official replacement. I know that might not be an option really but unless it is official replacement then I wouldnt use it.
Could be true, issue attempt first time after I've changed battery, but quite long time was perfect. No such of issue. Is there some way to prove if those error are guilty?
Thanks for your respond.
Greetings
Adam.
Sorry, network laggy.
Please delete.

The only way to tell is run completely stock. And then go from there. Any errors that come up will have to be fixed one by one until you find the issue.
Or put back the old battery temporarily to see if it works?

That's not gonna happen, i throw them away long time ago...
Wiping completely with media and flashing stock image seems to be the most reasonable steps so far.
I will be back here already on stock rom and fresh Logcat soon.
Thanks and Greetings.

Hello again.

Hello All,
Already fourth day tested and stressed my Nexus 6 using couple of different rom's with new original Motorolal battery and problem seems to be solved.
Thanks to all, especially thank you Zelendel for saving my good friend shamu from being destroyed.
Thread can be closed, guilty was found, and definitely was them cheap "no name" battery.
Greetings.
