Every time I power off the screen, it won't turn back on meaning that the screen is unresponsive to any of my buttons until I reinsert the battery and reboot. When I want to restart the device, it will power off, but won't go into the reboot sequence. I am on Cyanogenmod 12.1, and have went to full stock! Yet, I still encountered a similar issue! Every day, I have to reinsert the batter more than once, just to use the device; however, it still ends up becoming useless. At first I thought it was the battery that needed replacing. So I ordered a brand new battery, OEM and the works but its still doing the same thing. Could it be a defect, hardware issue? Please help, I've looked on the forums and haven't seen a problem like this..

I am having a problem with my phone and I'm sure there is a solution for it but I must not be using proper keywords to pull up posts. So I went through the first time flasher's guide and followed it all perfectly, got hardSPL flashed, resynced my phone then flashed the new ROM and it booted fine the first time and I was making a call then my phone turned off, rebooted once and claimed my battery was low which I know it isn't because it was a fully charged battery when I began all this, then it died again and hasn't booted since. I tried plugging it in to my computer's USB port and the charge light does not turn on. If I hold the softkeys and press the reset button or the power button (regardless of it being unplugged and running on battery) it comes up with the screen asking if I wish to restore factory defaults. When I do this it makes no difference in the device booting. When I press the power button the green light will remain solid for a short amount of time then turn off. I don't want to think this is a bad flash because it did work for a bit of time and I was going around and messing with settings and such, is there another possible reason for this and is there a way I can restore my phone to either stock FW or a different CFW?
The CFW I flashed can be found here
Thanks in Advance!
Just sounds like you have a faulty battery to me. Has it got wet somehow lately or leaked slightly?
It was a faulty battery, it had dents in it and I didn't happen to think that the cell inside the battery got damaged, got a new battery in there and its working great now.
I recently received a replacement Nexus One from HTC and within three weeks it has already developed another problem.
Here's what usually happens:
Night to 6AM: Charging the phone
6AM: Pull the phone from the charger
6-8AM: The phone drains battery normally
~8AM+: The phone will automatically shut off for no reason at all, and then I try to turn it back on. After boot up it immediately begins the shut down procedure, with the battery reading ~0% life (sometimes I can't even turn the phone back on after a battery pull, it takes multiple pulls).
I originally thought that the problem was the Nexus was reading an incorrect charge on the battery, so I tried wiping the battery stats. There was no change in behavior, the phone continued to shut off. The only way to fix the problem temporarily is to charge the phone to use it, but the problem persists once the phone is taken off the charger.
I even tried doing a full factory reset, but the device exhibited the same problems after a certain period of time, which leads me to conclude that this is most likely a hardware problem, either with the battery or something with the N1 itself.
Has anyone else experienced similar problems, or does anyone know how to fix the issue? Please offer some insight, as this is getting quite frustrating and I can't use my phone normally until I get another replacement, or I fix the problem.
Can ANYONE help me? I hate only being able to use my phone for like two hours a day if even that.
I will have to start using my RAZR as a back up everywhere I go until I figure this out

CHECK YOUR PM--i had same issue---IT WAS THE BATTERY!!!!! They sent me a new replacement batt and it hasnt cutoff in 2mos!!---KNOCKS ON WOOD DAMMIT!!LMAO!
Hi,
I've owned a B&N Nook HD (7 inch) for just over a year, when I first got it I flashed CWM and CM10 onto it and ever since have had absolutely no issues with it, however a couple of weeks back I was having trouble getting it to charge, it would take a few tries of plugging the cable in before it would finally begin (I'm not sure whether this is related at all to the issue) However a couple of days ago I was happily browsing the internet, then it made a strange "Pop" sound and the screen went completely black. Ever since then it won't boot up, it will briefly display the Nook logo but will then make the same pop sound and go to what looks like a black screen, however under low light you can see that the backlight is still faintly on, and to turn it off you have to hold the power button for 7ish seconds. Also on one attempt to boot it made it past the nook logo, and onto the cm loading screen but then had the same issue. I've also tried booting it to recovery but with no success :crying: .
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just to say that it's a complete right off.
Thanks
Probably you might have damage battery

Please watch this tutorial how to remove battery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfYvhtw30mU.
Then charge your battery via external power source i.e.Master charger. If you still can't turn on your device. Then buy new battery. Link of ebay is http://www.ebay.com/bhp/nook-battery
If it is software issue @leapinlar will surely figure it out.
Thank you very much for your quick response, I'll give the link a try!
Battery Charged

I had a go at removing the battery, but as I don't have a Master charger or anything like that around, just stuck a multimeter onto the connector, and it read about 3.5v so to me that seems pretty charged.
Does this mean it is a damaged battery, as I'm on a bit of a shoestring budget, so want to make sure I'm getting the right thing

I've install stable cyanodgen 10.2.1 a year ago and have this issue ever since. Not sure if it's common but whenever the nook is drain completely to dead...when you try charging it..the light would be green..then amber. So I don't know whether its charge or not but I guess it is. I would not be able to power it back on...the normal way. It would seems dead. The way for me to get it to power up is to get into cwm recovery by pressing both the power and home button at the same time, then reboot it. It gets annoying because I would have to do that all the time since my 5 year would drain it out lol
A few weeks ago my battery was doing crazy stuff. It would go from 80% to 30% in 10 minutes and then back up to 70%, then down to 20%, back up to 60%, etc.
I drained the battery all the way down and then charged the phone while off to full. I thought this fixed the issue, but now when the phone gets around 30% it will just cut off and won't turn back on because it says the battery is completely dead.
All this happened out of nowhere... I had GREAT battery life before this.
Any ideas?
Didn't some early devices have battery reporting issues? I wonder if this is what you are experiencing.
Do you have any idea if there is anything that fixed it? And/or if moto is replacing phones with this issue?
I've read that they were being replaced, I don't recall if the service provider was doing it, or Motorola. I'll see if I can find more.
Thanks - FYI I called Motorola support. They had me reboot into recovery mode. Then wipe cache. They said this would not cause a factory reset. All my apps and settings would persist.
Instructions they gave...
Power off
Hold vol down for 3 second and then press and hold power without releasing vol down until you get bootloader
Use vol down to scroll to recovery mode and then press power to select.
Once in recovery mode (Andy on back with red exclamation mark)...
Hold vol up for 15 seconds then keep pressing vol up and press power as well and hold until you get blue text.
Use vol down to scroll to the "wipe cache" option and press power to select.
It says "erasing..." for a while.... like about 5 minutes so far and still going
Will post again to say what happens
phone rebooted after about 10 minutes of "erasing..." and all my apps and settings do seem to be in tact. I will see how my battery issues go now.
Please let us know if it does it again. I have been having the same issue.
I will post back... Might take a while... it only died at 30% on occasion because I often don't get it down that far.
The fluctuating issue (going down and up like crazy) hasn't happened in a while. That actually stopped after I drained it fully then charged while off... Then I thought it was fixed until the die-suddenly-at-30% thing started happening.
In any case - I actually have some screenshots of the battery fluctuating problem so I will post those just so people can see how crazy it was. (notice there is no charging when battery goes back up)
Check out my post here, sounds like a calibration issue, good luck!

Thanks rhcreed - I will try your suggestion as well if I continue to have problems.
Speaking of which - I have not had any problems yet after I did what motorola walked me through. I don't consider myself completely out of the woods yet though because I don't generally get my battery very low, and so the problem was only occasional for me... so might just not have hit it yet. But so far, so good.

Had a similar problem... Turned out to be a faulty SIM card... Replaced the SIM card and it worked fine....
This may not be the case here... But what's worth a try is using the phone without a SIM for a couple of days if possible so that you can tell if it is a faulty SIM issue [emoji4]

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.
