[Q] Gear Live won't boot - Samsung Gear Live

I've had my Gear Live for about 3 weeks. All of a sudden today I noticed that the watch was getting hot. I looked at it and it was stuck on the boot screen (the one that says "Samsung Gear Live"). It just sat like that for a few minutes, getting hotter and hotter, and then it would shut down. If I press the power button it will do the same thing. I've tried charging it up (in case the battery was low, even though it was only off of the charger for about half the day), but it's still doing the same thing.
Anyone else experience this? Anything I can do to get to to boot up again?
Edit: I just found out how to reboot into the bootloader, but when I try to reboot into recovery it hangs for a few seconds, goes dark, flashes the boot logo for a split second, and then apparently turns off.

I'm definitely no professional at this, and I'm just taking a wild guess. If you have it on constantly, I'd just let the battery run out and keep it off for about two days or so.

My S730 turns off automatically

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.

[Q] Severe bootloop problem

All of a sudden, in my pocket, without me doing anything, after being working flawlessly for two weeks running ARHD62 and being s-off, my H1 shut down and now it shuts down every 5 seconds and reboots until the battery runs out...when starting to load the battery, the phone immediately starts rebooting/shutting down.
I can get the phone into boot-loader but there I can't make any choices and after 5 seconds the phone shuts down and reboots, after showing the HTC logo for 5 seconds it shuts down and reboots.
I can't communicate with the phone through fastboot or ADB, I can't get into recovery. Any one have any idea how to salvage my phone?

if your phone bootloop in bootloader, there is not much you can do, its hardware defect. Send it for repair.

[Q] Xperia T 2nd phone, Dead

Hey all had my first phone about 9 months. It would not charge once, and eventually went to 0% and was fully dead. At first it got replaced with a new battery. I then went to hand the phone in once again! a month after... the battery was lasting half the day where as before it would just last me the whole day.
They sent me out a new handset (after i threatened them with the law (i have no insurance- however the phone is not lost, damaged or stolen)).
Now iv not noticed any problems with the handset.. I recently upgraded to the new firmware uk generic.. The phone went to 0% for the first time ever. I try to charge it and it does not charge. I have left the phone plugged in with the power button stuck down for an hour. And now what happens is, the phone boots to the load screen and just as the interface loads up it says Power off shutting down. And then keeps turning off and on off and on.. The phone will still not charge when turned off, but i cant get the phone to load up and start charging ?
Any help appreciated iv started to have enough of Sony these past two years
Thank you
Warwick
After continuously trying to boot the phone. It eventually goes dead again. I can charge the battery a little bit by holding the power button down. But then the light turns green thinking it must have enough charge to boot (but hasnt)
Is there a way to keep the force charging on for longer rather then it rebooting itself forever?

Keep the power button pressed with a rubber band while it's connected to the charger. Leave it for a couple of hours.
Why will the rubber help catalyse the battery?

For some reason keeping the button pressed will allow the phone to charge. If you don't believe me Google it. I did, tried it, worked for me and was able to flash another FTF... not a big deal.
I think you misread my first post mate lol I was joking about the rubber
I'd already stuck the power button down. It's sorted now though but thanks for the post

I really need your guys help with my bootlooped Moto g. Please Im desperate

Hi!,
Today I was using my Moto g 2014 LTE XT1072 and suddenly it crashed and it got stuck in a bootloop. Im running cyanpop 6.0.1 and TWRP as recovery. Now I get the unlocked bootloader warning, the fibration and than it goes black. Sometimes it get to see a small portion of the cyanpop boot animation, but it stil goes black after that. I can't get into recovery. If I hold the power and volume down button the bootloop stops for 20 secs. After that it begins again. My PC does not spot the phone when I plug it in with Motorola Device Manager installed.
I really do not know what to do anymore. Do I have to buy a new phone? Please save me from the suffering. If you need any more information please ask.
EDIT: Good news everyone! After the battery drained and leaving it alone for 24 houres the phone booted normally. Thanks guys for the help!
have you tried to enter in fastboot mode?

Well I can't get into it from recovery, because I can't get excase it. My Pc did start seeing it when its in 'charge mode' (not sure what the real name is), but when I type 'adb devices' in minimal ADB and Fastboot it just says 'list of devices attached'. And when I try 'fastboot devices' it does nothing. Not sure what to know.

While powered off and no cables connected
hold power + vol-down 3/4 seconds (screen stay black) then release the power and keep vol-down pushed (bootloader screen is visible now) release vol-down, .
Not working ? are you sure ?

Nope, still the same thing. The loop stops for 20 secs and just continues after

Nice to know. Moto G family phones tend to suffer from battery-motherboard problems, usually related to current issues. Is your charger at least 1.0A? My Thea's battery drained at school, I tried to connect it to a generic charger and the phone misbehaved and became trapped in a 0% screen loop, and did not appear to grab some charge. I thought to myself "Oh no! My expensive phone is now ruined forever and my warranty is void! What I'm gonna do?" But I walked home, connected it to my old reliable Samsung charger to see what happens and voila! The phone started charging and I could turn it on again.

Kind of. The phone would not respond nor turn it's LED on. When connected into any charger the phone screen would turn on in the 0% battery screen. If I touched anything, the phone turned off and the 0% screen appeared again. Also sometimes it would just appear again like crazy, like if I killed the bootloader or something alike. After connecting to the Samsung charger, the 0% screen appeared again and the screen turned off. I didn't touch anything out of fear. After three minutes, the Bootloader Unlocked message appeared and finally the phone booted to TWRP's charging screen. I let it charge to 4% and tried to start the phone. The phone booted into CM12.1 and problem solved. I hope these issues never happen to us again. It would mean motherboard degeneration/wearing out/side effect from bootloader unlock and flashing or something alike. Thanks for the answer.

No probs my friend and I wish you the same. Let the moto gods protect us.

SM-T800 boot-loops and dies the moment you let go of the power button?

I've got an SM-T800 behaving very oddly, hope someone knows what's up!
If you attempt to boot it, it will flash up the Samsung logo, then die, and repeat in an endless boot-loop.
If you hold the power button down, oddly, it changes; instead it will proceed to the animated SAMSUNG logo which will then continue to pulse in and out indefinitely until you get bored and release the power button... at which point it instantly dies and then begins boot-looping again.
If you try to enter recovery by holding power + volume up + home, it will do so, but the moment you let go of the power button it dies.
Thinking it was down to the battery, I tried replacing it, and if anything the behaviour has been worse since!! It was at least possible previously to get the thing to sit in recovery without rebooting, but now it never does if you let go of the power button.
I've also tried reflashing the default firmware via ODIN; the one thing that always works is the download mode (power + volume down + home); I can reliably boot it into download mode and flash via ODIN, but then on reboot, it gets partway through the installation process (like a few seconds in) and then boot loops back to the samsung logo again.
Now it's difficult to get it to even charge; it will keep looping the charging symbol (battery with a lighting bolt on it) on and off the screen unless you fettle the buttons until it just sits at a black screen. I can see from the USB charger it is still drawing charge current.
Any ideas??!
It probably dead. Speaking as someone who had this issue for countless devices, I say that your battery probably can't hold enough charge anymore to completely power the device through.
It doesn't matter even if you charge it to 100%. The battery had degraded to a point where a minimal charge required to let the device pass the crazy power surge required during Android boot is just not meeting the minimum.
Hence it fizzles out. And rebooted.
I kept replacing my Galaxy S5 battery until few months ago, no battery I bought is enough to fully power it on anymore.
Thanks for the response; alas, I already tried replacing the battery; if anything it was worse! I suppose it is possible that the replacement battery was also a dud, though? Unfortunately it may be difficult to do a load test (a lot of batteries might not even provide power without specific conditions being met), perhaps I can probe the pins while it tries to boot and see if the voltage sags or something.
I have the same problem and I found this in Yoube; search for "Samsung galaxy tab s restarting issue" video from "Electronics repair school"
It shows bad contact on battery connector soldered side...
I have the same issue, I can hold down the power button and it will boot up completely. As soon as I let go, it reboots over and over again. So far I've replaced the:
USB Charger Port Connector Module Flex Cable
LCD Connector Flex Ribbon Cable
and the Battery
No change in boot up - The only option left , I think, would be to replace the main board. Any thoughts?
i got that issue too,
i did kind of a battery recalibration
meaning: i fully discharged my sm-t800 (took me some time doing reboots until the tab was totally dead)
then charged it to 100% without booting it
unplug it and reboot.
and well, now it works again
the clue here is:
the system stored wrong battery data over the time, so it randomly thinks the battery is at 0% and does an auto-shutdown. To repair this, you have to reset the system with recalibrating the battery, so the system deletes all old data and starts logging new data.
in my case this procedure worked out great
hope you guys will have the same success as i did
Hello everybody!
I thought I would let you know how I solved this issue WITHOUT having to do a full factory reset...
Or so I thought.
Turns out that it started shutting down and bootlooping after a while again.
Even after I ordered a replacement battery and charged that up. At first it looked like it would work and then it started shutting down randomly and bootlooping.
Probably will have to throw the thing out since it doesn't want to work. Makes no sense how its so uncooperative even after putting in a new good battery in the tablet but there's not nuch more that can be done.
If I just start it *sometimes* it will boot up and get to the android OS. Then work for a while before shutting down.
Sometimes it just bootloops at the Samsung Galaxy S logo over and over.
Holding the power button it does boot but if you release the button it MOST often just shuts off and bootloops.
Anyone know if there's anything to be done to fix this?

I have had the same experience with my T800. What I have been doing is to tape the power button down using scotch tape. The tablet can be waken up by pressing the home button. In my case, I need to remove the button to recharge the tablet.. So far so good.
