Hey there.
I have my HTC S730 for nearly 2 months now.
I don't know why but my Wings plays a strange melody and then turns off.
Even if the battery is fully loaded! After it turned off it takes a long time before i can turn it on again. I can push the start button on the top of my smartphone but nothing happens.
I don't know what it is. I Hardresetet my device 3-4 times now but it's still not working correctly.
Can you please help me?
Did anyone recieve the same "error"?
I have the same error!
But no solution.
It happens sometimes, mosty not logical... I'll wait for a few weeks, if it keeps on i'll go back for warranty!
What are you running when the reboot occurs? Never looked but is there a way to schedule it to do such a thing?
Does it display anything on screen before it happens? You might check in the power options to see if its shutting down due to some setting...
When I have some time I will dig through mine and take a look.
Off the top of my head I would surmise that its either overheating and shutting off, an installed application is causing issues and it is turning off, a setting within the phone is causing it to turn off, or something is wrong with the device.
May be caused by overheating. I have no other applikation installed on my Device since i Hardreset it. It shows up the HTC logo when it shutsdown.
I dont run any applications at all. Sometimes i listen to music with the Music Player.
When i start my phone up again (after some waiting time) it shows me that my battery power is 0. After some time of waiting it shows me that my battery is nearly fully loaded.
It only happens 1 or 2 times per day.
But please help me
It's not overheating in my case.
I saw it happen last time (5 minutes ago), just before the HTC logo is saw a little cross trough the battery indicator. I suppose the battery is not good? After reboot the indicator shows a full battery??
I would give HTC a call about those batteries. I would think that they are bad, or the phone is having issues drawing power from them and so it shuts off.
If its overheating it should be VERY warm to the touch, I have gotten mine warm but never hot after some heavy use, but I just let it cool off afterwards and it was just fine.
Usually with low battery it will flash a warning on screen and make a noise indicating low battery, but if the battery suddenly is in zero the phone could automatically shut off. Does it power off quicker than a normal shut down sequence? I would have thought that the phone would just run until it's instantly cut off by a dead battery, but if its misreading it or reads it in the danger zone it could have an auto shut down.
Had the same thing with my wings/s730.
After hard resetting it it worked fine again.
Yesterday morning I pulled the TAB from the net adapter. Immediately it beeped and turned off. Plugging it back in, the battery indicator went from 0 to 100% in 5 minutes.
Turning it back on, it died in 10-20 minutes.
Turned it back off again, fully loaded it again and played a movie on it, 50% back-light. It lasted for just 20 minutes.
I made a backup to SD, did a factory reset and charged the unit (powered off) to 100%.
Did a restore, and everything worked again.
Battery is still working at 80% after an evening of restoring apps and a night of stand-by.
What the heck happened?
perhaps one of your apps? try installing them a few at a time to see which app is causing it

I also think it's a software problem, after the problem disappeared with the factory reset.
I'm going to check slowly which program is the culprit.
I just can't imagine that a program can stress the TAB so hard it realy drains the battery.
I think it could probably be a misguidance of the android OS from a wrong setting?
I had a similar problem but not nearly as bad as yours. I had my tab unplugged for a while and checked the batter: 30%. So that was fine so I opened up dolphin and INSTANTLY the screen went really dim and said I had less than 3% battery which I did not believe.
Turning the tab off and back on the battery was now at 27%. This only happened that one time and I havent seen it agian. Must be some weird battery level reading bug.....
I have the same situation and also make a backup and factory reset amd later a restore.
That was 2 months ago and until now it works like a charme.

Power off g tab drain the batt
I have my Galaxy Tab for about 3 days ago. Charge to 100% the battery, and then, I decide power off (totally) the Tab. Hold power button, and in the pop-up window, power off the phone!!
After a 1 hour, I saw the screen message with the android icon "POWER RESET or UPLOAD MODE"....and drain totally the battery!!!
What can I do???
See the attached image.......please help me!!
Only 2 things are likely to cause this, the battery being stuffed, or the battery stats database getting corrupted. You could try the "bump charge" method and see if it resets it. (Charge fully while on from AC, unplug, turn it off, charge for an hour or so from AC, unplug, turn it on, turn it off again once booted, charge for another hour or so, unplug, turn it on).
The battery stats can be wiped from the CWM recovery if you wanted to flash that, I'm not sure where the file lives to do it manually.

Hi, just like to share my experience with you guys. I encountered the same problem as mentioned, especially the sudden request to shut down due to battery becoming 3%, although it has 50% left. I tried recharging a few times but the same thing happens, something, it will shut down at 30% battery power level. Then, one afternoon, while I was looking at my pictures (at Gallery), I saw duplication of my photos (3 times) that appeared on my gallery folder. But the key issue is I stored all these pictures (taken by camera or by transfer from PC) in the microSD card (8GB). I tried to do a deletion on the addition pictures (it showed 3, so I tried to delete 2). But to no avail, and the system keep processing even though I tried stopping it. After about 2 minutes, the promot came up, requesting me to do a shut down saying the battery level was low, although I have about 50% battery power left. So, I shut down the tab immediately and removed the microSD card. After that, I switched on the tab and it says 50% power left. But I have to make sure it is possible to utilize the tab until it drains out the battery. Finally, I managed to cross the 20% power level and the tab can still be used .
I was curious about my microSD card, thinking that it may be faulty. I used a pc to open up the content and I discovered the SD card has no problem at all, it didn't have duplication when viewed from the pc. For your information, I have installed "angry bird" onto the 8GB microSD card, I am not sure if it is causing any problem to the tab or draining power from it, because the download (from Goggle market) mentioned something about "preventing phone from sleeping - System tools". I am not sure how this is link to the duplication of the pictures in the gallery folder as well, but I am glad I have found the fault to the draining of the power by the tab.
I would suggest, before anyone proceed with the factory reset, do a check on your storage card or the apps that you have installed in your tab, try to solve the simple way and it can save us a lot of troubles .
I hope it helps............

As knightnz mentions ~ It's the Battery Stats Database being corrupt.
To repair, simply:-
Connect the Tab to it's Charging Cable and ensure the Tab is switched Off.
Next, hold the Power On Button whilst at the same time touch and hold the screen.
You will notice the battery indicator will pop up.
The Tablet will now reboot.
Everything should now return back to normal.
This procedure can also be used for a Tab that refuses to switch on.
Should I do this when the tab is off? or when it is on?
I actually tried both, but I dont see "the battery indicator pop up" as mentioned.

Actually, I missed out an important ingredient ~ The Power Cable.
You need to have the Tab connected to your charging cable as if you were charging the Tab and the Tab switched Off.
Next, hold the Power On Button whilst at the same time touch and hold the screen.
Next you will notice the battery indicator will pop up.
The Tablet will now reboot.
Everything should now return back to normal.
I'll amend my previous instructions to include the Power Cable.

This is not working for me. The battery indicator pops up, but nothing else happens. The battery indicator even does not do any animations.

Hi Beards,
Sorry to ask again, is there any way to verify that it has been solved without really draining the power to 0%? Is there any clear indication?
Thanks.

The trick is in holding the screen whilst powering up.... It bypasses the normal start-up routines, resetting any errors that would sometimes require a Factory Reset to correct.
This info was passed on to me by a Samsung representative.
Easy fix, get a replacement, thts bad hardware, shouldn't have a problem exchanging, assuming it was purchased thru an auth retailer. No sense in messing with software and having a headache over it.
Seriously, the press screen thing doesn't work at all. Eventually, I brought it to the service center to do a firmware upgrade and it is back to normal...............
New upgrade:
Baseband version: P1000DXJM2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected]#1
Build number: FROYO.DXJM4
The funny thing is my wife has a unit that was using the same version as mine (old version, we bought them at the same authorised dealer), but she did not encounter such problem. I am just puzzled.
It did not work for me either. Is the charging cable supposed to be plugged in to the power socket or just the cable? (I tried both and neither worked)
I also did a firmware upgrade with Roto JMIv2. And I still see the problem.......Anyone having any suggestions please?
If your GALAXY Tab is running from fully charged to flat in under 20 minutes I wouldn't recommend anything other then... Sending it back to where you go it from?!
It doesnt go flat in 20mins. As a matter of fact, it lasts a couple days with my work load. Its just that when i put it in standby mode let say overnight at 80%, when i turn it on in the morning the battery will be at 50-60%. But when i restart it will go back up to 78-79%.
So im not losing battery capacity here i believe, but its annoying to have inaccurate reading, especially when i am on a trip or sth.

I can understand your predicament, I have those "moments" before. Mine just dies off and need reset to get the battery back. The unknown is always not welcomed to all since we paid so much for them.
Hi guys and gals!
I've been experiencing these problems for a long time, but it didn't piss me off enough till today. Is it only me? Whenever the phone is charging it takes me forever to turn it on. If I press the power button this stupid battery appears and nothing happens. The same if I hold the power for 8-10 seconds (hard reset). I always manage to turn it on somehow eventually but it can take a while and I never know what actually made the damn thing to come alive. Are there others out there suffering the same fate?
seems like the problem many are having with the usb charging port. My problem is that phone keeps charging even after the usb cable is disconnected. the phone thinks its still charging and goes through the battery charging animation yet the phone is not even connected. then the phone will not turn on at all. So the way I would turn it on would be to connect it to usb charging and wait 5 minutes, then click on the power button and hold it a few seconds. then the phone would turn on.
Here is a test you can do to confirm if the usb port is going bad. when the phone is off and won't turn on and battery charging animation is on, take a plastic strip and try to push in the usb pins inside the charging port. I mean, to push the pins inside the phone, straight back. then turn on the phone and it will turn on. if that is the case, then your usb port circuit has to be changed inside the phone.

Yup, this happens to me too. But not really a biggy, more of an inconvenience, but an inconvenience that I could live with as I don't start/reboot my phone plugged in all the time and if ever, i just unplug it, start, and voila, problem solved.
Hello,
I have bouht new HTC One and on first niht after charging him on factory charger that came in box and in morning unplugging him the phone is frozen. Just the green light and that is it. After a Minute the phone restarts but this alos could be couse I am pressing around Buttons. On second night i put him aain on charge but this time he was doing full Transfer from old HTC Desire HD and in morning there were no issues. Today after third night on Charge again the phone is frozzen. I did updated the phone. What is cousing this? and also is there some buton combination that should force phone to reboot since I cannot remove batery?
Also I have another Problem with wifi policy. That is I have Setup to never Keep wifi on when on sleep but the phone ignores that and keeps wifi all the time

Holding the power button for 10 Sec or more. It will reboot the phone. Give it a try.
I heard you hold it for 20 seconds to simulate a battery pull.

I recently went on a 3 month trip. Before I left, my nook was working perfectly fine, when i got back, it didn't work at all. It's not dead because i left it plugged in overnight but it still didn't turn on. when i plug it in the LED goes from orange to green and then off (or green to orange, i can't remember). The screen doesn't turn on at all. I can't get to recovery either.
This is a Nook HD, I believe it had CM11.
:crying:
Can this be fixed
or should i plan it's funeral
Same here
The same has happened to me. Screen doesn't turn on, but there is power, I can play it into my laptop and something is there, just not enough.
Good excuse for a new tablet!
It can be fixed. I've done it before. It has to do with the fstrim not being compatible with certain hardware versions of our device. If I can remember how I fixed it, I'll post it here. Trying to fix mine (again).

If would be fab if you could fix. Seems to be a common issue
I was able to fix it. YMMV.
1) Make sure the Nook is completely off and unplugged
2) Take out your sdcard
3) Hold down power button until the "battery depleted" icon shows, then promptly plug in the power before the icon disappears.
4) Let it set. The screen will go black, then it will attempt to boot and get stuck on the faint black screen, but this time, the charging light should stay amber.
If you want to be safe, wait until the device reboots itself. That could take hours though. If you're plugged into the wall wait at least 30 - 45 minutes before holding the power button down til it shuts down and then rebooting it (with the sdcard inserted).
Good luck, I hope it works for you.
EDIT: Also, I've read this may also have to do with wifi sending the device into some sort of strange bootloop when the screen is off. I personally believe it has more to do with the fstrim of JB but perhaps changing the wifi sleep policy may prevent this issue from happening again. I'm skeptical, but figured I'd pass that info along if anyone wants to try it as well.

Not sure we have the same problem. My screen doesn't come on at all, I don't get a battery depleted icon, no matter how long I hold in the power button. The only sign of life I get is when it's plugged in, when it goes from orange to green after about 10 seconds.
Thanks for the help, but I think it's a lost cause.
YMMV. But mine was the same issue. You should be able to get the icon by holding the power button down for 5 or 6 seconds. I'd say just eff with it until that icon appears. Try different button combinations. I used power and home trying to get the icon to show.

Anyway... since people are continually running into this kind of issue...
Give or take 21 seconds after turning orange it turns green during actual boot cycle into rom
Give or take 10 seconds after turning orange is cwm internal recovery.
After about 10 seconds the charging screen image disappears.
The charging screen image once finally no longer may not show up again until full power off/on (holding power button > 10 seconds or full battery discharge). Unplugging and plugging back in does nothing except making the device look bricked if there's too much light shining on it.
Device may not automatically leave the above state under a specific situation(s). May still need manual full power off/on.
Guessing 10 seconds could also be something else during the early/late boot process or other. The light changing color though should indicate that something is indeed happening.
Light should stay green during the boot process if its completely and fully no questions asked 100%. If you go based on that than yours doesn't appear to be completely fully charged which should either mean its turning on and using battery or not charging correctly.
The light turning off is curious. The device could be shutting off. If light comes back on a moment later then the device has rebooted. if the light stays off = n/a.
If its booting into recovery then the device would be available via adb. At that point it could be further evaluated.
On the off chance the screen was damaged it should boot and usb should be available via computer as well as adb.
If not then its probably toast unless its simply not getting a good enough current causing mislead battery stats and/or not enough energy to get to charging screen (bad wall power adapter in use, damaged power cable - though could be bad battery, defect, damage or whatever). OR there's some major error on behalf of the user happening (think should have tried that in the morning not while 1/2 asleep or came home from long trip and forget how that works).
Maybe the only other things are the emmc brick bug, was left sitting in the sun or heat or ocean air or other physical damage/defect even to the power port as well.
Or maybe it was mad that you left it. Shouldn't have hurt its feelings you know. At least its not crying battery acid on you.
That should just about cover everything except for the things not mentioned. Since its your device, you decide what happened.
Its complicated so anyone see any improvements, clarifications, or mistakes? Please put it in a post.

Bumping this thread to make it aware that there is a real answer. I have been able to duplicate this problem and rather easily too.
The problem is indeed from bad power. The device isn't receiving the correct amount of power needed to charge and start from a fully discharged battery.
To safely* duplicate this you can use a usb extension that isn't fully connected to the nook power cable. You may need to fully connect it first then slowly disconnect/connect till the light turns green when it should actually be charging. It won't actually charge in this state, or if it is, its very little and the battery percentage will continue to drop.
Leave the cable as is and unplugged. After the tablet is fully discharged, connect the usb cable. The light will change through the modes and turn off. The device will not turn on.
There are probably other ways to cause the problem like for instance a portable usb battery that doesn't put out enough juice (not the orange kind). Etc.
* It didn't hurt mine, but not my fault if it breaks your device.

I actually ended up fixing it yesterday!! I haven't touched it in about 3 months, and I was planning on just throwing it out getting rid of it some how. For the heck of it, I decided to plug it in, assuming that it was gonna go through the same process. But this time it went from green to amber, but it never went off. So I pressed the power button and the battery icon appeared. This was a really good sign. So I left plugged in for about 5 to 10 minutes then tried to power on.:fingers-crossed: As soon as I saw that '' Nook" boot up screen, my heart stopped. It booted up perfectly and I almost blew up from excitement :victory:. So I then flashed the stock firmware back onto it, so this would never happen again.
I guess the battery had to be completely depleted or just had to cool down. Idk but either way this was one heck of a miracle
So I recommend for anyone having this problem to just leave it off and don't mess with it. I wouldn't say for 3 months like I did but maybe test it each week or wait a month if you have good patience
Wow. Man, that's awesome! Glad you posted that update on it. Thought if you had posted an update it would be the opposite as in trashed it
Actually, I guess only you could answer if you had also moved/unplugged the power cable from the wall adapter or put it into a different wall adapter, etc. Thinking there could have been a difference there.
These modern day devices are so finicky, guess anything is possible. Like you say, maybe sitting without power is another answer.
From some experimentation I have etermined that your power adapter (that plugs into the outlet) is the issue. It does not like to be leaft plugged in indefinately. It will continually use power even when the nook is not plugged in.
Also, if you use a differnt adapter you will have the same problem unless it is also of the exact same voltage and amps.
