I got a Tab yesterday without any cables. There was a little amout of battery left so i Rooted it and bought the "Euro Tap Bootstrab", i tried it, boot CWM, took a backup and then i turn it off. No battery left.
I got a USB cable today. Plugged it in my pc and tab, but I honestly cant see if charging or not. Sometime comes a large battery icon, but when pressing button it goes black
Cant hard reset.
Please help

A PC will charge it very slowly. You need to plug it into a wall charger. You probably didn't brick it. See if you can get a USB wall charger from somewhere. Usually Blackberry chargers have a USB port that you can plug the cable into.

Using my HTC usb charger, thanks! So I just have to wait now?

Yeah, pretty much. I don't think backing up your Tab would have bricked it, even if the battery died mid-backup since you're reading from memory (internal), not modifying it.

Ehm, to be precise, I pressed "Reboot System", a samsung logo popped out, I waited a long time and it didnt change so i turned it off. Dont hope it's bricked

Just what!? I've charged it for about an hour and have litterly tried everything, this suck big time! It just wont start

Just plugging it in HTC charger gives you almost nothing! Original Samsung charger has a "trick" inside - it has pins 2 and 3 of its USB output connector shortened, and on top of that it has also 2 resistors between these pins and +5 and GND pins. When you plug the cable in common charger the tab does not "understand" that now it must take full power from the charger and does not charge the battery actually (it should take appr 1 A current from the original charger for 4 hours to be fully charged). You should get an original charger, or get a special adapter connected between your HTC charger and tab's cable (I have seen some at Amazon.de), or to make an adapter yourself.
PS. There is a strong recommendation: never do any programing, flashing, backup or restore with battery discharged below 80%, better to do it with charger connected.

Thanks, good to know, however the orginal is lost.. so can i still use the HTC but it will take longer or?

I am afraid the tab will "think" that there is no charger at all. Connecting it to USB port of PC may give a result after several hours (very-very slow charging). Why don't you think over getting (or making) an adapter?!

Will defo get one, but then I would have wait till monday
Don't think i can make one

Actually I have made this adapter in 20 minutes (but I am formerly an electronic engineer, though).
Well, then try to connect it to PC for the whole night (do not forget to keep PC running ), maybe it works out...
First try to run it, if it hangs, try CWM/restore, if it is bricked - re-flash it.
Good luck!

Thanks alot, really! Will report back tomorrow. Again tanks

Just to be clear, when it's charged, does the battery icon have to be there all the time? It does disappear after some while when it's connected

Battery icon disappears in several seconds when the tab is switched off. Short pressing on power on button shows it again for some while. Moving dots under icon show charging in progress.
When the tab is fully charged it makes a short sound.
When the tab "understands" that it is connected to a charger, it also makes a short sound.
PS. After recovering the unit I recommend to install Battery Watch from the Market - it has a widget and you will always know the state of battery etc. And you can see a graph showing a battery behavior. And this application is on top of that shouting - "Charging started!", "Charging complete!", which is funny...

Guess mine doesn't charge?

Sorry for delay - no, it does not charge... the reason was explained.

Yeah i see now. Thanks for taking you time. Defo appreciated

Just for reference, do NOT turn your GTab on while charging from a pc. It won't charge at all. Keep it turned off, and then wait for like 9 hours (it takes about 50 minutes to increase the charge to 10% from my laptop).
And when you flash, always have a full charge. ;-)

Hehe, yeah I just couldn't wait
Gonna pick up a HDMI dock tomorrow, until I've connected it to a laptop to see if it will charge.

So i got a proper charger, but does it charge?

Ok i removed battery and plug phone in usb now red led diode blink for 4sec but when i plug it which battery. Nothing

Was the phones charge less than 20 % at the time when you did the operation?

Use like a rubber band or something to tie down the power button and plug in charger. Should be able to charge up. Give it some charge and try to flash stock again.

USB charging mayby 30-50 % i dont remeber

How much time i must charg it beacouse when i try to charge this option ( i sit there 5 min) nothing like normal no led no charging animation

I thought I noticed when my phone has a low charge state, it does not want me to do things like restoring, updating core apps, or other significant changes to the system.
Charge it at least over night regardless what the charge indicator says.

Hi the problem is its say nothing no led no animation do not know phone charges

Guys is better i pull out battery then plug in charger wall than i put battery back and wait now red diode blink red always without stopping but phone dosent turn on
PS I gave him a charge later on but the LED does not light up but after 2 minutes she started to flicker about 6 times red then again shone red, and so all the time

Hi everyone,
I currently experience exactly the same problem. I wanted to flash my CM10.2 to the last night build (CM11) on my Xperia V. I boot into recovery mode and wipe data / factory reset and wipe some data from sdcard. I finally choose the "Restart system" option. The phone turns off but never restarted. I think I wiped some important files from system or kernet. I tried all combinations of keys (vol- + power, vol+ + power, only vol- while plugin in usb etc) but nothing occured. No LED, no vibration, no screen on. My phone was charged around 65% when I started operations.
I tried to charge my phone via the wall plug. No led. I wait during more than 30 minutes but nothing changed (I was expecting the back of the phone a little bit warm as it usually the case when charging).
As Ghost4Fun, I noticed that if I pull out the battery and plug the device with wall charger and then put the battery back, the red led blink red 2-3 times but finally turn off. If I pull out the battery, plug the device on usb and hold vol- + power during few seconds, the red led blink. It continues to blink even after release keys. If I put the battery back, the red led stay lit during 1-2 seconds before turning off.
This xperia v is not the first android device I change rom and it's not even the first time I flash this phone. I already experienced some problem during flashing with infinite reboot, device stucked on boot animation, etc but this time it's quite different as nothing happen with keys. Hope it's not bricked and someone could help us.

OK no help close thread... i will send to services f****** SONY

dm led red switch off than i try to connect to my pc but nothing. No now it isnt red led when pressing power button

I aslo tried quite a lot of configurations with keys and power source (wall or usb) but the only thing changing is the led frequency (~30s, ~45s, ~1m). I leave the phone charging during the entire night and some hours today but it didn't change anything. I aslo tried to let it charge with some keys pressed by an elastic (I read the problem can be related to a flat battery). I haven't been able to have another color than red from the moment it turned off the last time.
I don't think the issue is from the battery as it was 65% charged when it died and even if the phone is plugged for hours, the led color doesn't change and the heat is ambient. The problem is that if it's not related to the battery, it must be software and the only way to fix it, is to make the phone recognized by the PC.
I also plan to send back the phone to Sony but as I'm not at home for the next week, I have 7 days to try to fix it myself :victory: Does anyone already send back a phone to Sony in this state? I mean, my phone is (was ) unlocked, rooted and with a custom rom, I'm really not sure they will fix it (I'm sure they can but not sure they want). Maybe the data I wiped and make the phone bricked will also hide it to them :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for your link (there is a limit of 10 messages before a member can post external link so I can't quote you ).
I tried to plug my device to the pc with the rubber on the volum - button during 15 minutes without any chance to make it recognized by the flashmode. I will plug it to the wall charger for the entire night and will wait. I never thought a battery can be as long to charge. If someone has the technical reason of this long charge when a device is bricked, I'm interested by the answer.
I will update you as soon as I have news.

@Ghost4Fun i think it is because of the broken boot.img inside the ROM, use FLASHTOOL, put the devices in fastboot mode then flash a kernel, maybe NK Kernel, it has recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223534

Dead Xperia Z

So I'm making this quick, my dad's on vacation and he has a C6602 as well. He's in London, he called and said that his phone was 9% battery level so he turned it off. He then later called me from his other phone and said the Z isn't charging. He doesn't have the Z's original charger with him, for the past week he had been charging it with his Moto G charger and Nexus 7 charger. When he tried putting it on charge, he said the phone wasn't doing anything. The LED isn't lighting up and the phone isn't responding to anything. Any ideas on what to do? Its been used with care and was bought in Jan 2014. The phone has been left on charge for 7 hours straight and still no reaction!
What's wrong with it and is there a quick solution?
Thanks
Just letting you know, the phone was on 4.3 Jellybean (the build that ends with .101).

Hi Mate, I had a similar issue where my phone would not respond to anything, it only showed 3 red blinking lights when plugged into the charger, I left it for hours to charge but nothing, it would not even turn on while it was plugged into the charger, I read a few post and it seemed to be a battery issue. I tried one solution and it worked for me. Basically I had to wrap a rubber band around the phone so it holds the power button down and leave it on charge for a good few hours, it eventually came on again. now I know you said nothing happens when its plugged into the charger, but it won't hurt to give it a try and see if it helps, this may not be the solution to your problem but it might help. also try use the correct charger if possible. let me know if it worked.

Is it still on warranty? And do you have back-ups? I know it's an obvious answer, but a warranty claim is at its best.
Otherwise, bring it to a service. They can open the phone, connect a fresh battery and eventually swap it.
Otherwise, try plugging it in and out. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
When I connect my Xperia Z with my battery unplugged, the phone doesn't do anything, unless I connect the battery. Obviously, I had to remove the back cover and I don't advise this. But it will give you insight.

Unfortunately in Pakistan, there is no Sony warranty.
Also, I might remove the back cover if I convince my dad to get a new phone and let me experiment with his old Z.

So I removed the back cover, removed the plastic housing (that sits on top of the front camera cable and charging port) very violently disconnected the battery and connected the original charger and the red LED switched on. Now, while the charger was connected I re-connected the battery and the phone started charging. I switched the phone on and it was working fine. Now after the phone had charged to 50%, I copied my data to an SD Card. Then I (very stupid of me), very violently tried to re-fit that small piece of plastic housing back in and now the phone wont charge anymore and the plastic housing is slightly bent. check the picture to see how it looks. I then noticed the plastic housing had these little gold things inside it that make contact with the other little gold things on the motherboard. The phone is off right now but how do I fit that piece of crap plastic housing back in it's place? Any help will be appreciated.

Powering off and on Droid Turbo with broken power button

Power button does not work but i can still use the phone by using an app to shut off the screen and the hand pass to open up the screen. But my battery life has lessened a lot as I suspect too many apps are functioning in the background that disappeared when I was able to shut off the phone completely while charging overnight. Is there anyway to shut off the phone once in a while and restart it?

I know two ways to re-start it once it's shut off and charged...
1) buy a Qi wireless charger.
Putting it on a Qi charging pad will automatically start the phone (if there's enough battery charge.)
So, actually charge the phone with a turbo charger plug -- then when ready to turn on the phone place it on the Qi wireless charger. I'm not the first to suggest it:

Imagine you have figured this out by now - but if so then posting for others. Quick fix to turn the phone on when the battery runs out is to use a Qi charger. At this point - have not rooted this phone - I just have to let the battery run out to turn off. I do plan to take apart to try and fix but the above will work.

The Qi Wireless Charger works whether your phone is charged or not.. I went to the Verizon store and asked to see the charger demo'd... I placed my powered off, Fully Charged, Broken -power- button- Droid Turbo on the charger and it Came to life.
I immediately configured the phone with an alternate power button app to control the screen on/off. FYI None of the apps I found will actually power the phone on from off, but will control the screen once it is powered.
I actually tried everything in this forum short of the disassembly of the phone but that was next... the program download.. Reboot Fast Boot; I couldn't get it to download correctly. after about 3 hours I quit... drove to the store and the rest is history. So Glad Not to have Lost everything!..

As for shutting it off, there's probably apps to do that. If not, then just let the battery drain and die.
2) Here's also a bootloader method:

Assuming your phone is powered off , Hold volume down key and connect charger cable. You will get into bootloader screen. Disconnect charger cable and connect phone to PC and use the following fastboot command to boot your device without actually using power button for once.

I only use the triple-coil tilt-style charger pads, as you don't have to worry about positioning the phone whatsoever -- it will hit a charger coil -- but those are still $15 - $20, and you don't need that for your purpose of simply turning on the phone. A single-coil will work, you just have to position it right (with the phone about 2/3 off the hockey puck)
also speaking of apps -- here's this:
Power Button to Volume Button

but it only works to turn off/on the screen when your phone is ON.

Pixel 4 XL loses battery power

My pixel 4 XL literally lost 6% battery power after just a restart. I know letting the phone die completely is actually bad for the battery but should I actually do that to reset my battery? Losing 6% battery power in less than 20 seconds of restart is very strange. Anyone else have this problem and what did you do to fix it? Thanks in advance for anyones help with this.

I lose 2 or 3% each restart. It's really weird and consistent. Happens every time. Can't figure it out either.

I've been with Android for 10 years and no phone I've ever had goes from 100% full power plugged in to 94% in just a restart...

I don't think so it has anything to do with battery consumption. It must be faulty battery counter where the actually battery % is not what you see and after a reboot the numbers are reset to the original battery% number. That's what i can think of

That would be fine if the phone wasn't on the charger all night plugged in. There's no way a phone should drop 6% being at a full and constant 100% charge plugged into my wall charger. If the phone was off the charger at night I might understand the drop after a reboot to correct the percentage.

That would be fine if the phone wasn't on the charger all night plugged in. There's no way a phone should drop 6% being at a full and constant 100% charge plugged into my wall charger. If the phone was off the charger at night I might understand the drop after a reboot to correct the percentage.

But you might want to consider the possibility that charging stopped at 100% which wasn't obviously 100% in real. If it had dropped 6% straight away then i feel what I'm saying is correct.
You might wanna try to reboot by pressing the power button for about 40 seconds or so. You should have a reboot first and then it will vibrate and reboot again. That would reset the better stats but don't leave the power button until you hear there vibration after first reboot.

Starting apps, checking filesystem, turning on radios and reconnecting and registering with cells/wifi, starting the GCM sync tasks... and lots more.
Why would it no use a few percent of battery power restarting? My older tablet chews up 5% on restart is sluggish for first couple of minutes why the play services does all the background sync and backups.

Tried that trick you said to do, I didn't feel any vibrations although I let it restart three times while holding the power button down. Maybe that reset my stats. I'll know later when I wake up and take the phone off the charger and reboot if that did anything for me.

So I think it worked even though I didn't feel a vibration. Only lost 1% restarting now

Great must be the faulty indicator stats. Although i was thinking it could also be that your phone stops charging at 100 and drain till 90 and start charging again.
This was the pattern on my Xperia before to avoid overcharging. Pixels might be doing the same if you put it for overnight charging.

Does that restart trick work for other phones too or just the pixel line?

Should work or if they have any other way to reboot incase of a phone freezing then that method should also work

Ok thank you for your help, I'll tell others to try the trick if they have batteries falling fast

Lithium batteries do not have a battery memory, so there's no reason to fully drain a battery and then fully charge on any regular basis. Use and charge as needed.
It's also not normal for a phone to drop that much on a restart unless there is something wrong with either the battery or the power management circuitry.

Seemed to work for me also
I rebooted twice. First time after 40sec hold down and I lost 1%. Second time I lost 0%
