hi, my nook hd was left on the charger over night. This morning I got up to find it had rebooted over night and got stuck at the 99%. It wouldnt power off nor would it rest .
Now the screen has gone off and it wont do anything. Is it dead?
This is the worst device I have ever owned , I am never going to buy another B&N device you spend hours maintaining it just to get basic functions.
I finally got it to boot when the battery discharged but had to do do a factory rest . Now I cant reinstall any of my apps because google play says No eligible devices for app install.
I hate this thing well its coming up to 12 months at xmas so it will be out of warranty . time to get rid of this POS and get something that works without all this messing around.

So I haven't used my G1 for about 2 years. I recently broke my LG G2X (dropped it at the river) so I started to use my G1 again.
It blows my mind how far Android has came in 2 years...
So anyways, I rooted my phone, running Gingerbread on it and all of that fun stuff.
Two weeks have past and so far nothing was wrong with it but one day my battery drains and then that is when all the problem starts.
It seems the battery wouldn't hold a charge so I bought a new phone off of craigslist ($35 G1) and used the battery on it.
The phone now holds a charge but my phone keeps unrooting itself and I have to re-login to all of my accounts.
Also sometimes when my phone dies the the bootloader screen comes up and it says no image file so I have to reflash it.
I have to do this so often its ridiculous and it seems like the phone only works well when it is charged up to something. What is causing the phone to reset itself?
THANKS GUYS!
Hello, this is my first smartphone and I really don't know too much about this stuff. This being my first major problem (I purchased the phone around 7 months ago), any help would be appreciated.
My Situation
Phone was in perfect working order till today afternoon, when it suddenly switched off. I assumed it had run out of charge even though I usually get more hours of battery life. I tried to charge the phone 3 hours after it switched off. It didn't show the charging icon and I couldn't switch it on.
What I have already tried
1. Taking out the battery and SIM and putting them back in again.
2. Vol Up + Home + Power
3. Vol Down + Home + Power
4. Connecting phone to Kies (Phone not detected by Computer or Kies)
Additional Info
This information may be completely unrelated to the problem, but since I'm a complete noob, I'll add these:
1. Phone was upgraded to Jellybean by official upgrade, many months ago.
2. Phone is not rooted.
3. Only downloaded apps from Play Store. Got only one setup file of an app from a friend around 4 months ago, and deleted it after a few days.
4. Bought a new back-cover around one week ago.
5. A few days after I bought the new cover, the phone heated up and became really hot one day. It cooled down normally after half an hour or so.
6. Today in between the time when the phone switched off and the time when I tried to charge it, the phone heated up again in a similar fashion (NOTE: This was AFTER the phone stopped functioning).
Thanks for any help.
Well, if you cant go into download mode, I think its better to go with the phone from where you bought it and they will send it in assistance and in some days it will be fixed, same thing happened to me. Hope i helped

This is weird.
Go with your phone to service center, seems you have some hardware problem.
Thanks for the help, guys. I agree it's weird. I'm going to take my phone to the service center tomorrow. I just didn't want to lose all my stuff, because it's been a long time since I backed up my data. But it seems I'm out of choices. Thanks, again.
I was facing the same problem, bought the micro usb module for about 12 € and i replaced it, all went good :good:

If Lorenzo39's phone is still in warranty is not worth to do it yourself.
Must going to service center for his warranty precedure.
Good luck @Lorenzo39.

Indeed but if the connector is oxidized (probably it is) the warranty doesn't replace the module, or they do with payment (lot of $)
Hey XDA,
I recently won a Galaxy Tab S2 through work. Unfortunately every time I charge the device the screen becomes unresponsive to touch. The first time this happened I had charged it for 4 hours, and it was fine, so I took it off at a full charge. I then left, turned on and updating, over night upstairs on my coffee table. When I went to use it in the morning, it was unresponsive.
I took it to work, where I have a USB to Micro USB adapter and was able to factory reset it. It worked fine after that, so same thing, updated it at work, took it home, and it being nearly dead, charged it over night. First thing in the morning, Unresponsive. This happened two more times. Finally I got in touch with the people who I won the tablet from, and got it replaced.
I picked up the new tablet today around 6:30 PM. Downloaded a bunch of apps that I wanted, got it set up how I like, and put it on the charger. In the time it took to charge from 5% to 30%, the new tablet has also become completely unresponsive.
While chatting with Samsung via Live Chat (big waste of time) I plugged the original Tablet in, as it had been sitting dead on my dresser while I waited for the replacement, and for about 20 seconds it worked, before once again becoming un-responsive.
I've used the chargers that came in the box, a Galaxy S6 charger, and LG G4 charger, and an HTC M9 charger and the issue occurs with them all. I've charged them via wall sockets, power bars, and my computer and it still happens.
Having this happen once happens, I understand as I work with Cellphones and tablets for a living, but two in a row I can't help but feel like I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone suggest anything at all before I try once again to get it replaced?
Thanks in advance for your guys time and consideration.
do you have any apps auto installing from your google account?

No, I turned that all off when I booted up. But I did go and get everything I wanted downloading, plus updating all the default apps. But even after all of that is done, it still doesn't work.
actually, i was going to recommend the opposite: remove any sd cards or sim cards, reset to stock, then either don't log in to *any* account, or if it won't let you, create a *fresh*, totally blank, google account and use that. don't install anything, don't update anything, not even the os.
then try to replicate the problem.
It might be something your installing that's destroying your tablet...
Try to reset to default and just use it like that for awhile... then add one program at a time until you find the culprit. I can assure you this is a great tablet and your issues aren't indicative of the product.

Try a different usb cable. Just in case it matters.
I have an original Galaxy Gear, model V700 as always. A few months ago I had rooted it and flashed _nullrom to it. I grew bored of it and the battery life sucked worse than stock firmware so I reset the entire watch. Everything went back to normal, but maybe a month and a half ago I had offered it to a family member as a Fitbit replacement. They declined, so I just put it in a drawer and it eventually died.
Fast forward a month and a half later and I end up getting a Galaxy Note 5. I remembered I had my Gear, so I tried turning it on: No success.
I tried using the crappy 3rd party cradle I had gotten when I had bought it used: No success.
Tried at least 15 different power bricks/mUSB cords: No success.
Finally, a few days ago, I ordered the original charging cradle. Plugged it in. Still no success. I got a few half second flashes on the screen of the battery with the spinning watchhand on it, and I rarely get that, but so far no luck. I'm sure it charges as the watch and the case get warm, it just doesn't want to power up. It's not the screen as it flashed a few times. I unplugged and replugged the battery when I first took it out again. Any ideas guys? Don't wanna waste 250-300 on a newer Gear when I have a perfectly (un)usable watch right here...
This (half a second flashes) was the exact symptom I was having. Fixed by replacing the battery, see:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-gear/help/sm-v700-battery-replacement-t3406665
Gear now fully operational, charged, everything working. Not difficult if you have some repair skills and tools.
the phone was working flawlessly, I sold it.. when I was at USPS I started the factory reset process and put the phone in the box.. could be that the battery was almost empty, cant remember exactly. the phone arrived to the person who bought my phone, and it wont start or charge at all.. any suggestions? maybe the battery was empty before the phone had fully reseted? or any other problem?
please help me!!
You should have done all this the night before, rather than waiting for the last minute at the USPS. In any event, how long did the new owner put the phone on charge before letting you know?
yeah I know.. I regret it, believe me.. about an hour or two..
All I can recommend is that he try for a longer period. Also, have him try connecting it to his computer and see what happens.
Unless he's willing to get the battery replaced, I think you're going to have to take this one back.
it's on the way to me..
I got the phone. it wont turn on. it vibrates, I try to connect it to the comp and it says: your phone is locked or something like this. any suggestions?
