[Q] wont boot and many other things. - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my phone hasnt been charging the right way the last couple of days now i have changed ROM to see if that would help and it didnt i did a factory reset inside the rom itself and now the phone wont boot itll show the note 3 screen with the padlock but after that it just stays black and i can get into download mode but since my phone wont charge right my computer cant really see my phone so i need to figure out how to get my phone back on.
notes:
phone will charge right if the phone is completely turned off
i did clear the cache and dalvik before completely reset didnt help
installed SS 3.72 and then boot into recovery and thats when my phone wouldnt turn back on

Your charging port is faulty...
Either there is something stuck in it, solder joints are cracked or the flex cable has come loose.

Had that happen on s4. Just like graydiggy said, the port is screwed. Go on eBay and buy the part with tools and change it. Takes about 30 min. It's not too difficult to do.

Even if I'm not having problems charging when it's completely off

Dead G1?

Hello,
Tried to look up some answers to my problem, however I'm not sure exactly what is wrong which makes any troubleshooting rather difficult.
I bought a new ADP1 a few months ago. I haven't had much time to play around with the phone, have just been using it stock and haven't even added any applications. There has been no physical damage to this phone, no drops etc.
Yesterday the phone locked up when I was using the browser and would not function. When I would try and reboot it, it would lock up at the first android screen and would fail to start up. I ended up doing a hard reset to factory defaults and the phone finally booted. After setting everything up again the phone seemed to be working fine.
A few hours later it locked up again while using the browser. This time no reboot/safe mode/factory reset would get it to boot. I can't even get to recovery mode or even get the phone to attempt to boot up. The screen remains black and the phone will not power on. It won't even charge when I plug it into the charger.
Not sure how to proceed here and I can't seem to find any information in regards to RMA, it is still in warranty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Take out the battery for hour or so put it back in and try again.. but this sounds like my issue What happen to Me is my mobo was crapping out and eventually just died on me

Yeah, the mobo going to **** was my original thought.
I already tried taking out the battery last night for about 3 hours, it still didn't work.
Guess I'm going to have to look into an RMA, I hear they are a pain in the ass. The phone is still within it's 1 year.
Yea I would get that done quick

Nexus one stuck on boot screen

I dropped my nexus from about 4 feet and cracked the screen. I opened up my phone, and replaced the screen myself. Turned it back on, and everything except the wireless and bluetooth worked. I also notice that the phone has been extremely buggy, constant freezes. I used it like this for about 2 weeks.
Last night, i was talking on gchat, then plugged my phone in to charge and went to sleep.
I wake up this morning to find my phone wont turn on. I remove the battery, and turn it back on. Now it is stuck on the boot screen. I can get into the bootloader, but not recovery. I tried clearing the storage, still no luck.
I have tried to remove the battery for 20 minutes, removed both the sim and sd card, none of these worked.
The phone is unlocked with CM6 installed.
Under the circumstances, I think it's more likely to be a physical problem than a software one...

That's what I'm thinking too.....I was hoping it's not, and someone knew some trick or something.
Yeah I'd say your phone is toast only thing you can do is take it apart and see if there is any thing loose inside it connectors etc

Damn.....most expensive and short lived phone I've ever had.

I wanted to install cm-9-20120804-NIGHTLY-captivatemtd on the device. Actual the installation was successful then when i was trying to restore my backup. it now stoped in d process of installing boot sector. after which remove the battery to start again. that was when it started showing that. actuall when i press power to on it doesn't respond but it only show the display when i plug my charger or usb to computer.
I had exactly the same problem. Use a program called one-click unbrick, that will get your phone back into download mode. After that you can use odin to restore stock. Watch out though, I was very happy when this all worked and I booted into stock only to find out that restarting the phone would brick my phone even worse than it was before. Now the computer wont even pick it up at all and it is stuck in a white at&t bootloop screen when I turn it on. When it is plugged in, all I get is a grey battery that isnt charging and it will not go into download mode. I don't know what I did wrong so I cant tell you how to prevent this problem so just be careful.
A jig would likely be your best option to force your phone in download mode.
If you haven't tried it already, try flashing a stock rom using Heimdall. I've had much better luck using that program than Odin with my own phone.

droy... The problem you're describing is exactly what happened to the first cappy I had, fortunately for me, I did it within a week of getting the phone.... I took it to an AT&T service center *aaack*, they were nice enough to tell me that there was nothing they could do and that I should be able to get it sent back in. Fortunately for me, it was right around the time when the 2.3.5 stock update came out and there were a few other people that were having somewhat similar problems. To try and fix it, I tried the jig, which I constructed myself only, ran the meter tests and found out that it didn't work after trying 3 different ones. I sent it back and got another, fortunately, I haven't ran into the issue again, so I think it may just be some kind of fault on the board given that I've never read of anyone else until now running into the problem
Thanks youall, gr8 help

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 charging problem (unable to root or upgrade)

Hey everyone, after going through a number of posts here on XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216962

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251709

I haven't found what I am looking for yet. I kinda have the same problem like these guys on the posts above. I got my phone water damaged a while back and since then my phone whenever on charge gives me a message like "charging paused. Battery temperature too high or too low". I have been trying to fix this problem for a while but I can't seem to find any reasonable solution. Like I understand that this could be a hardware problem and I can't do much about it if it is but I still have to try different options before I pay Samsung to fix it.
Like what I am trying to achieve is that I would like to somehow root the tab and upgrade it using just the recovery system mode. I somehow believe that if I do that this problem will miraculously vanish :victory:. The galaxy tab that I own is this one here http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0042D75TU/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00. I never rooted the tab before this problem and I am sure I never upgraded it either. So all I am left with now is a tab that turns on only for few seconds and then switches off. Even when it is on the charge the tab switches off after giving me the message "charging paused. blah blah blah". The only time it stays on forever is when the phone is on the charge (AC and not usb PC) and on Android System Recovery <3e>.
There is no possible way of starting the tab and using the android system as the message pops up just before the loading up and switches the phone off immediately. If someone can guide on how to root and upgrade my tab through using my sd card or doing it in recovery mode, then I promise to buy a couple of pints (money will be sent via paypal) or else the money goes to Samsung and ruins the whole joy of fixing my tab with yourr help. Cheers
Can someone please help me with this issue? Cheers

It is water damaged.
What makes you think you can flash a recovery that fix it automagically?
It is too risky to flash anything to a device that can't hold charges.
Anything you flash to it, if it half way done, and the tab lose charges, then it is gone, especially if it were the boot loader that was being flashed.
I went through the trouble of reading the links you posted.
If you think the I9000 user that gets the warning got it fixed, that is because he overclock/undervolt, etc..
Not water damaged.
For the other link that is water damaged, he said it recovers.
How long has it been since it was wet?
If not dried, you should buy a pack of rice (grains, uncooked of course).
Put it in a big zip lock bag, and place the tab in it as well.
Let it be in there for a few days.
Or if your local chemist sell silica gel, use that instead of rice.
Thanks for the advice mate but the tab has been like this for over 3 months. I mean I was hoping to flash a new Rom as it might not have this message set on default. I don't think the water is the issue anymore it might just be a hardware issue but I want to flash a new custom Rom just so that I can verify that it is 100% hardware problem if this message continues to display on the new Rom.
It is simply not safe to flash while the tab can't hold any charges.
But if you want to risk it, follow my signature.

My Note does not starts, please help.

First I want to apologize if this issue is already treated in the forum, my English is not so good and I don't know how to find it. I will appreciate if someone can help me to fix the problem or to find the right thread.
The phone was working normally, battery was fully charged, then it started to change the bright of the screen and suddenly the battery was low. Some seconds after that the phone turned off and it does not start again. When I try Samsung Galaxy Note logo appears and then it turns off again. If I try recovery mode it doesn't start but I can put it in download mode if the phone is charging. (If not, a no battery message appears). Anyway, I cannot backup and I cannot use the phone. Android version was up to date and the phone was rooted. I would like to backup it if possible but if not I would like to tray a hard reset, but I cannot do this without recovery mode...
Thanks
You could start with trying a different battery.

I will try this, I get the battery in 2-3 days. If not I will tell in order to try other solutions. Thanks
I think the problem is the battery, too.
It was the battery, with a new one works fine.
