The four touch button lights won't go off when phone is turned off!

They just won't. They'll work normally when on and they'll go off after so much time of idling, but when I turn off the phone it buzzes like a complete shutdown and they just won't go off. I think it started when I loaded that leaked 2.3.3 captivate rom from SamFirmware and now it continues after a 2.1 stock downgrade and updating to 2.2 via Kies. I can't find anyone else with this problem.

hmm That's weird... if you pull the battery and replace it do they come back on?

Oh yea, I've been playing around with it and everything to see what I can do. It started happening about the same time my power/sleep button started messing up. It still is messed up, but I don't see how one would effect the other. Like I said, they work normally until I try to turn it off. Then, they don't go off until I pull the battery or boot it back up.

if they dont go off when you turn it off until you pull the battery, it might be safe to assume your phone isnt actually off. Try reflashing whatever ROM you have going on within your cappy.

It has happened on two different ROMs. The 2.3.3 leak and then again when I flashed back to stock 2.1 and even after I updated to 2.2 via Kies mini.

maybe try calling samsung then. They may be able to address the issue. My friend has a vibrant that he bricked, hard bricked and they fixed it for free so, they might be able to help you out. it might be a hardware issue they can help you out with.

Very possible. I won't have a phone for that time, though. Haha....oh how we can't live without our mobile devices...

Att will send you a replacement first, then you send you old one back. If its still under warranty. I just told them I don't have a home phone, and they overnighted the replacement for free.

Well, it randomly stopped. It shuts down and when it buzzes the backlights won't stay on. Idk what I've done for it to stop. I still have a busted power button, time to send in for a replacement.

Easiest way to make sure it's not a battery problem is just to buy a new one from ebay and eliminate the possibility.
But it sounds like an internal problem to me, not software related. You could try a wipe.

I did a factory reset ( I was on JB then) and didn't solve the issue. when the phone is connected to the charger it can go beyond the Samsung logo and the splash screen for a while but will turn off quickly. without a charger it will only show the Samsung logo and then turn OFF.

Can you go into recovery, plug the cable, and then power off the phone? leave it like that for few minutes.

I can go into the download mode but not recovery.... what does that mean???? Tried your other suggestion, but no luck...!!

Is your battery swollen if looking at the side and you say it will go past splash screen if plugged into charger so does that mean it will boot into the Rom if plugged in or does it just stay splash screen and also if not able to get into recovery could mean something happened with the kernel so flashing a fresh jb Rom with Odin maybe what you need. The problem with that is if your battery is bad it could cause more problems trying to flash anything with dead battery as in bricking the device. So you should start with new battery and let charge a few hours then see if your phone boots up if not then you could flash with pc Odin and go from there.

He should try kernel option you gave him, if everything else failed. I read around there were like 3 people with same situation. Maybe they used the same thing?
Search philz kernel, download one or two, and flash those in odin. Its a safe kernel, and powerful cwm.
He probably fixed by now. Hope so, for his own good.

Issue Solved, It was broken battery, Changed the batter and the phone is working again. Thanks everybody for your help....

Might not be good
If a charged battery does not bring it back to life, your phone might be toast. What you are describing is exactly the behavior I saw when my emmc chip went out on my first Vivid. JTAG would not talk to it either. No repair was possible short of changing the main board.
Hopefully, yours is just a charging issue. Good luck.
On the bright side, it might not have been anything you did. Mine died just as suddenly for no cause at all.

Alright
So I found out that its basically not fixable buuuut thank goodness it was time for an upgrade thanks for the help! long live the vivid! btw to everyone it was not a battery problem I had a spare battery that I tried anyways thanks thanks:highfive:

Bricked phone?

Hi there!
I was wondering if anyone around here had some ideas on what to do.
My LG G4 had been working fine until today. I unlocked the screen to check my e-mail and it completely froze. It was plugged in at the time, so I unplugged it to see if I could restart it. The charging light was still blinking, the power button didn't respond, absolutely nothing.
I took the battery out, left it for a minute or so and rebooted. It loaded, unlocked, but I could only get to the app menu before it completely froze again. Afterwards, screen went black.
On the third try, it booted up to the LG logo and that's it. It popped up about 3 times and screen went black. No other response whatsoever. I can only try to reboot again only after taking out the battery, but it does the same thing.
I switched the battery with another one of the same model, nothing changed. Computer doesn't recognize it either.
I've looked around for a bit and I can't find anything like my case. The closest thing described is the boot loop. I'm not exactly sure that's my case, but it seems similar to a certain degree.
I got it to boot to recovery mode, but it doesn't do anything. It asks me if I'm sure I want to run it, and in the second 'yes' it freezes up completely again. Screen goes black and does absolutely nothing else.
Added note, phone upgraded to 6.0 yesterday morning. I had no issues with it until now. No app updates were running at freezing time.
I'm considering taking it to the store before I try anything myself, just in case there is still some warranty active.... But any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I was afraid so... Went directly to the T-Mobile store where I bought it and, since the warranty was still active, they exchanged it on the spot.
I just hope this one lasts longer than the other one did...
Thanks!

That is an excellent question...
Btw, does your screen freeze up sometimes? 'Cause mine sometimes goes unresponsive right after I unlock it... I just lock and unlock it again and keeps working just fine, but it's kind of annoying... old one did it and it, now this one does it sometimes too...

Good to know it's not just me then. Guess it's a common screen glitch then.
Thank you for the info!

Well another 505 g4 bites the dust. Playing a game, backed out of it, phone froze, pulled battery, turned on to endless bootloop, pulled battery again, now nothing and I mean nothing, no boot loop, no nothing
Definitely a brick. Computer doesn't recognize or even try to charge it. Hopefully still under warranty.

LG R watch just hangs on Logo

Does anyone watch this thread anymore? I have a question: I replaced the battery in my LG R watch (which I have not used in several years), and charged it up. It boosts to the LG logo screen and hangs there forever. I restarted it and did the 11 to 5 swipe to see the fast boot screen, and select Recover Mode. Same results, it just shows the LG Logo and never gets any further along. Seems, perhaps, that the boot code is bad? If I cannot get into the Android screen, is there a way I can refresh the basic software on this device? Or is this thing dead? FYI: I have not done any hacking on this, it is just stock. But it seems I might have to to get this running again. Suggestions and pointers would be welcomed. Thanks.

Hi watchers. I see no replies, but maybe someone here ha a USB driver that will work on Windows 11?

Ok, I got this to work but had to go back to a Windows 7 machine. Sad that these threads are dead now.

Hello, I have exactly the same problem !
Could you tell me how you did it?
I think I have to flash the firmware, but I have no clue.
Thanks to you, or to those who can help me.

I didnt had this issue so i am sorry that i cant help you there.
I replaced the battery and everything was fine

Thanks
I changed 2x batteries (compatible & genuine) and nothing better :/
