My diamond 2 said the battery is low, then i plugged it into the charger, they indicator light turned on but after some time i removed it, it said low battery still after charging it for 4 hours, and now it has tuned off and not turning on anymore. Now when i am plugging it in the charger the indicator light is not coming and and it is not even turning on. Any way to fix it. Please reply back asap. thanks
No it didnt fall, or get damaged in anyway, just got it!!!!
Nothing you can do
There's probably not much you can do, you've got a faulty unit. Contact the retailer you bought it from and see if you can return it, if they wont accept returns contact the HTC customer service department in your country and since its new and under warranty you can send it in for repairs. The link below shows all the customer service numbers in different countries.

or try a new battery from ebay or something, and maybe a soft reset
I think the problem is from the battery cause the phone was fine but the battery wasnt getting charged, although if the battery shouldnt get charged while it is plugged i think it should work right, but it isnt. Tried soft rest and hard reset no use!!!. Well i just emailed the company nd they will hopegully replace my phone. thanks alot guys for your help. but please if there is any way helpp!!. thanks again
I am having the same issue now.. Charged for like 4+ hours.. and when i disconnect, it says low battery..
Have to call up HTC
Well i just called htc in singapore, and they said i have to go down to their service center. It will take them 3-5 days to find the problem with the phone. If its faulty, they will either replace the faulty part or the whole phone.. This sucks.. Damn, i bought the phone on saturday
I even sent it back to htc for repair, seems like it will take 1 week for me..... really sux!!!
Hey guys...seriously need your help,
I just got the note a month ago and i'm pretty amazed by it's capabilities. this is my first android phone and i'm kind of new to it. I hope i didn't make something dumb, yet i flashed my note with a .tar file just to add arabic language to it as it's not in by default. I follow the instructions explained on the webpage literally using Odin3. I got a passed flash and then disconnected the note as explained. since then it doesn't turn on. I tried almost everything using all kinds of button combinations to get to either download or recovery mode but nothing came out of the screen it's simply dead.....very disappointed, wish anyone could help me please....Thank you.
seems you have bricked your phone, if it does absolutely nothing it is bricked
Tried yanking out the battery and reseating?
Try getting Download mode with JIG
You may get JIG from market, or manually make with this guide

If the phone wants to start,you can do something. If absolutely no,then it is bad.

My Galaxy Note won't turn on too. The problem came after I was downloading a magazine from Zinio using the Reader's Hub app. Before I started the download, my battery level was almost empty. In the middle of the download, the phone died before I could get the chance to plug it in to charge it. Unfortunately when I tried to recharge it using the stock USB cable, the phone wouldn't turn on anymore. I plugged it in my computer but it did not recognize any USB device being plugged into it. It's as if I didn't plugged in the device at all. I've tried every button combination to reset the device as well as try other batteries and then tried the button combinations again to no avail. There was absolutely no response from the phone.
It was pretty obvious at that point that my Note was bricked. It's been only 2 weeks since I bought it and I'm really frustrated that this happened, especially now that I'm already hooked with Android coming from IOS devices for a while.
I decided to send it back to a Samsung Service Center for their evaluation. The front line technicians couldn't get my device to turn on as well. The attendee told me that they will have to keep the unit for further evaluation and told me that I have to wait for 3 business days before informing me of the results. I'm hoping that they would just replace my device with a new one.

Thanks. Yep, I sobbed for a bit after the attendee told me they need to keep it for further evaluation and no service unit was available.
My hunch on what happened to my Note was that it was writing to the flash when the power went out and did not get the chance to finish the write cycle. Thus, the unit was left out with a corrupted flash. I'm thinking that the OS should have prevented this from happening since it should know that the battery is about to die out. Moreover, even if the main flash got corrupted, there should have been a different controller (MCU, FPGA or similar) apart from the main processor which contain a boot loader code of some sort that would kick in to enable recovery of the device even if the main flash is corrupted.
I've been browsing through other threads under the SGN forum pertaining to units that won't respond to key presses to reset the device or to enter into downloading mode. I'm now lead to believe that there is no redundant system inside the Note that will ensure device recovery. Can anybody here who knows the hardware on the Note confirm or debunk this? Anybody from Samsung here?
I've been working with IOS devices (different iPhones) for a while now and had, on a number of occasions, made mistakes in jailbreaking the device but I would always be able to trust that I could re-enter DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode with some key press combinations and be able to recover the device completely. I think this is absent on the Note.
I was hoping that the Note had this feature.
anybody here who encountered a similar problem?
I have the same problem. At the morning a tried to turn on my SGN, but no response. All th simptoms the same: no charging, no reactions to buttons combinations, no PC detection.

Can you describe what exactly happened before you bricked your SGN? Have you done any further evaluations so far or have you sent your unit to the service center too?
I'm just curious, where did you get your SGN from? I'm from the Philippines and got mine from Abenson's.
I'll keep you posted as soon as I get additional information from the service center.
Good luck to us.

I'm not sure if our problem is somehow related to this as well:

This is regarding a faulty USB interface. Could it be a weak USB interface circuit design or a weak bootloader implementation? The root cause will certainly be useful so that we can take extra precautions in the future as we work with the SGN.
same problem
I have the note, just a week old.
was reading a book when the display went all bizzare.
I had to remove the battery to shut it down.
Never got it to boot so far..
PC does not detect it and it doesn't charge either..
I am taking it to the service center in the morning, will update everyone on what they say.

I traveled at the train on vacation and connected my SGN to this device for charging and it became charging. At the morning I tried to power on SGN but it was bricked. I'm from Russia but now I'm in Ukrain and can't send my SGN to service center.
After the visit to the service center.

Hey guys,
updating as promised.
the service center tried to "upgrade" software: I guess that's code for flashed new ROM.
After which they told me that the "Motherboard" is being replaced and that I have to wait till tomorrow noon.
So there you are guys, Motherboard
Will update further once I have more details.
I called-up the local Samsung service center today to follow-up on my unit and informed me that they will be replacing the motherboard as well. They said that they already ordered the replacement board from Korea and should arrive within the next 3 days. Darn.
Although I'm happy that I will have my unit repaired, I'm still a bit worried that until the root cause is determined, I may end up with bricking my Note again given the same circumstances.
What part of the motherboard is responsible for bricking the device then? We need to get to the bottom of this in order to avoid the same thing from happening again or determine whether this is really because of a faulty hardware design.
I agree..

I agree Wolfmanx, I have asked for a detailed report on how this happened. Now that I know more people are facing the same issue, I will ask them for more details.
Cheers!
Almost same issue
I just got my phone delivered by Fedex. I unboxed it, slapped in the battery, charged it and tried to turn it on. The only thing that happened was the boot up chime. The screen never turned on and still won't light up. I can hear the sound all right, so I know the machine is not completely bricked, but the screen never activates and the 2 capacitive buttons never light up either.
It's really frustrating since I took the day off to play with it. Such a fine piece of hardware, but it seems to be very fragile and prone to problems.
Hey guys. Not a regular user of the Note but my brother bought one about a week ago and got into the same issue some of you guys have had. Basically the Note was left uncharged (he plugged the Micro USB into the phone but forgot to plug the other end into a power source) overnight. When he woke up in the morning the phone was off, wouldn't turn on and didn't respond to any button combo. It also wouldn't charge even after trying with several different cables and leaving the cable in for several minutes.
Anyway we bought the phone back to the AIS (a carrier in Thailand) shop. Got to talk with a rather condescending salesperson who insisted that we had to take the phone to a Samsung customer service centre. Pretty frustrating experience but that's another story.
When we finally got to the Samsung repair centre, some technicians looked at the phone and determined that the battery has run flat out. This is not the normal "complete discharge" you would see in normal operation of a battery where there will be some voltage left in the battery. The battery was discharged completely in such a way that there was no voltage left which means that the charging mechanism on the phone doesn't detect any battery being inside the compartment.
Anyway the technician "jump-started" the battery by putting a bit of charge in it and after that the phone would charge and turn on fine. We were told that if the problem happens again leaving the phone in the charger for a while would fix the problem, and if that fails you can take the battery to a technician to jump-start it. Basically we can just avoid the problem by not draining the battery completely in the first place.
The customer service lady also claimed that this is a common problem for all Samsung phones, which is a bold-faced lie since I've owned several Samsung phones and never had any problem like this. Any decent electronic device should be designed to cut down the power before the battery has a chance to completely deplete in the first place anyway. It had been a long day by then so we didn't have the energy to call them out on this. We also didn't want to replace or repair the phone, since we are going abroad tomorrow and they don't have any new Galaxy Note in stock for immediate replacement.
So the root of the problem seems to be some sort of hardware or software problem that would cause the battery to occasionally completely drain. Not sure if this problem would affect all Galaxy Notes or just certain units. Since my brother will be keeping the same phone I will keep you guys updated if this problem happens again.
tl;dr, it's a problem with battery charging

Actually, this is what happens to all rechargeable devices when completely drained and left that way for a long time. That's why I try to avoid calibrating batteries unless it's really necessary. But the technician is right, sometimes you only need to leave it plugged in to revive the battery. I've tried this a lot and I still get nervous every time.
Had that problem with my Evo, left it charging over night and the battery came back to life
Hye guys, I searched all over the internet, couldn't find anything similar.
My Xperia Z1 was all fine today, until it suddenly turned off, and when i turn it back on, it shows the Sony Logo, boots and suddenly turns off.
I tried connecting the charger, and for the first time ever, it shows the battery logo with the amount of charge on it, and it doesn't charge, the LED doesn't light up.
I had around 50 percent battery, so i decided to flash my phone using the software updater, and it wont update, the process freezes and says unable, and now when i turn my phone on, it says some message about update failing and connect to pc.
Guys, my questions are:
1. why the hell doesnt it charge and shows up a battery with charge amount on it?
2. Why does it keeps turning off after boot?
Please help me guys, i really need it and its urgent. Im running Kitkat 4.4.4 and not rooted. Never did anything, but used it as it is. Never had previous issues.
Guys, I just flashed it using the software updater, it did flash but still it boots and dies off, and doesnt charge. Please help. Just shows the amount of battery on it.
It seems that your battery is totally empty or has hardware problem. If you have dock to charge your device use that over night and try again to boot it up.

Right, I will try the dock tomorrow and see, but I wonder why it shows the battery with the amount of charge in it. I still don't understand why the phone recognizes the charger but doesn't charge,
What if i replace the battery? Will it be worth doing so?
Anyone?
May I ask in where exactly it boot up? Whole OS or Sony logo or something else? Also if it show amount of battery how much it show in it?

well, it boots up to that wave thing, u know? Sony logo comes up, then Xperia and the waves keep going on, and everything fully loads upto where the brightness level also falls to the level set and it just turns off.
The battery icon has like 8 - 10 bars, and around 5 bars were filled, but now it has like 2 bars because the battery eventually died as i tried different stuff, but it never charged,

I just bought a new Xperia Z1, I did not have warrenty for my phone here in Srilanka, plus got one of the water indicators red ages ago. I'll try give it to some repair center and get it repaired, but I still don't understand whats up with it, and why nobody else had this issue, like ever.
Thanks for all your support.
sounds like some kind of boot loops!
don`t worry bro. this issue some times happened with a bunch of reasons but always its simply fix by flashing an .FTF of stock ROM on it. so don`t worry about it and if they couldn't repair your phone come back here and tell me to help you.
I am afraid that his problem ain't the bootloop. Problem is that his device won't charge. If one have hardly any battery left flashing any ROM would be problem.

Exactly, because bro my phone doesn't charge. If it charges I would be able to do something with it. But when the battery is dead its gone forever probably.
I did the hard reset, flashed the phone, tried different chargers, it still doesnt CHARGE, but shows a battery icon with the battery level on it.
How are charging it, may be the USB ports are damaged, try the magnetic port or a dock

You say you had a water indicator red. I'm no expert but to me it sounds like water damage. Sometimes a phone damaged by water can take a long time to show symptoms.
Bear in mind though like I said I am not an expert

Exactly what i thought, It might be water damage, but the stupid thing keeps turning on until it boots, and the worst thing is it shows the battery with a set of bars on it as the battery level when the charger it pluugged and no LED indication is shown.
To start off met me tell you , My phone was not Rooted , tampered with , unlocked bootloader.
Now weird things started to happen after I accidentally brought my phone under tap water for about 3 seconds , the touch stopped , realizing the gravity of the situation I immediately switched it off took off the Sim and SD card and kept it to dry , and even kept it in a bag of rice for 3 days .
After that I prayed and switched it on (without a wall charger) , It went into bootloop , came till the part where a boat comes out of earth part and did it till the battry was 0% , then i connected my charger and it was showing 0% with the charging screen for say about 3 mins and then starting automatically and going again into the same boot loop till it was connected to the charger .
I had my 11th class exams due to winch I was unable to research on it any further .
after about 3 months , (still under warranty period) I went to service station where the opened it and said it had went underwater and refused to fix it (asked for 10K to repair LOL)
then I kept it just like that for another month or so .
Now it won't even turn on and do that boot loop , it won't charge / no bilking led nothing .
Idk where to start from. Any help is appreciated thanks for reading!!

Well, they're right, you should've brought it to assistance instantly and not after 3 months
Either change phone or pay them to repair it (don't know how much 10k is in your currency)
The phone is dead as it is.. Just avoid going to the official service center coz they will charge you a whole lot of money.. Try going to local mobile repair shops, they might be able to help you!
Sent from my Moto G 2014
I think your motherboard got short-circuited due to the remaining moisture, prolly might have burnt the pins, connectors and the display cables after you tried to power it on. The device is as good as a brick now. Go to the service center and get your motherboard replaced.
warranty
I think that you would send the mobile phone to the technical service? do you have warranty?
Hello!
Yes, it's right. I guess it's my turn to get the sudden death of my beloved Xperia Z1.
It's dead, but I don't think it's completely dead and I'm hoping for some help from tech navy's around here and from other people who got the sudden death issue so here's what happened:
I woke up early in the morning at around 8 am and the battery was at 9% and I had no time to put it on charger because I'm in a hurry, so I said I'll put it on charger in car same as always. I use the magnetic cable that I removed from the dock (cuz my sis lost my charging cable, I have to use my magnetic one every time) and I almost always charge my phone in the car with that cable. The phone was working perfectly so I locked the screen and connected the magnetic charger and the charging light didn't come on so I wanted to check if it's charging.... and found out that it's dead (no charging LED, not turning on, no Power + Volume up vibration, no nothing) so I went back to the house and put it on my mother's charger (Micro USB) and got a red LED light as if it's charging, but it's not. still doesn't power up and everything and yes, I've tried the reset button near the SIM card, nothing wants to work.
I took it to Sony service center later that day and they said it will take 3 days because of the traffic they're having, and I have no warranty because I bought it on release which is more than a year ago. After 3 days, they told me that it's a motherboard problem and it got water damaged (while the last time I put it in water was about 2 weeks before that day, and he saw that the white thing is red) and it can't be fixed pay some money and take a new one (just phone no boxing no nothing) and I said no thanks and took the phone to another shop and he checked it and told me that he can't fix it.
I cracked open my phone and I can't see any water damage in it, everything seems to be perfectly fine. I've tried everything I could think of, everything I read on the internet, but nothing seems to work, and the pc doesn't even notice that I connected my phone, I've tried connecting it in fast boot, and flash mode, but nothing works it just keeps the red LED light on. Disconnecting the batter didn't help at all.
I called Sony service center and asked them if I can buy a motherboard from them and they said that they don't even have replacement parts for any Z series phone because they're not authorized by Sony to repair the waterproof/resistant Z series phones (The service center here isn't Sony, but it's an authorized service center by Sony) so at that point I lost hope to get it repaired.
All that happened back in January, but now that summer is here, I want to fix it somehow. But I have no clue where to start, and I'm not sure how to confirm that it's the motherboard that's damaged. is there a way to find exactly where the problem is? I have a soldering iron and everything needed to repair the phone, all I need is to know where's the problem! I can buy parts off of internet, and I will if I need to, but I'm not gonna buy a whole motherboard from ebay because I simply can't trust that motherboard.
Sorry for the lengthy post, and thanks for any help you'll give.
Regards,
~J2C

Bump?
leave your phone for a weed and try to charge it . if your phone still led light I think your battery die not your phone .
Your battery is dead, if you have taken it apart already just buy a new battery or buy a micro usb lithium battery charger from ebay and hook it up to your battery (by itself) I posted about my experience here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/help/red-led-flashes-charging-solution-t3141345 If you have access to voltmeter you can check the battery voltage, it is like 2.6v or there abouts. Your phone will not charge a battery this far gone.

Your battery is dead, if you have taken it apart already just buy a new battery or buy a micro usb lithium battery charger from ebay and hook it up to your battery (by itself) I posted about my experience here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/help/red-led-flashes-charging-solution-t3141345 If you have access to voltmeter you can check the battery voltage, it is like 2.6v or there abouts. Your phone will not charge a battery this far gone.

I don't think that the battery is dead, because:
1- I get a STABLE red light when I put it on charger or connect it to PC.
2- I've tried a method that's said to revive a dead battery on a Z1 (or Z series) and it didn't work.
3- If it was really the battery, then this should've worked! But no, When I connect the motherboard with test point properly connected, the PC just doesn't recognize the phone.

I followed all those methods as well and none worked for me either. Measure your battery voltage with a voltmeter, it is the cheapest way to verify if the issue is battery or something else.

Hello!
I finally got access to a multimeter today and checked my battery's voltage and it was about 3V so I can confirm that the problem is not the battery.
It must be some kind of hardware problem, and I don't think that you really did try the test point fix and you just said yea yea bla bla YOUR BATTERY IS THE PROBLEM! No, it's not.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

3v is still to low in my opinion

I've charged it, and still not working.
Bumping cuz I want my good ol' Z1 back
I've experienced a "sudden death" once, it was really scary to me.
I've flashed a custom rom, rebooted and went to bed directly without waiting "android is upgrading" or whatever.
The next day I saw that my phone was not opening. There was no red led to indicate low battery, I plugged to charger for some seconds and didn't see a red light to indicate "charging" so it was weird to me. The solution was to charge it for more than 30 minutes and afterwards it went to 1%! Maybe you should try to charge with the cable like normally and wait for a while

Hope it works! 30 minutes was so long and worrying though :silly:

Nope!
You obviously had a dead battery, and I've already left it on charger for 2 continuous days.
I clearly have a hardware problem. Probably a dead chip as the phone died the moment I connected the magnetic charger.

If u disasassembled your phone then simply disconnect battery, connect phone to pc (with disconected battery) with pressed volume button down, if phone working u should see blue led light (flashmode)-if this happen then your battery is fault (maybe not, try to flash stock rom if u see flashmode), if not then it is mainboard.

I don't think that you actually read the first post, but no problem.
The computer doesn't recognize the phone at all, with or without battery. And I've posted a link a couple of posts back that leads to a "hard brick fix" thread and even that didn't work for me.
Anyways, I just tried what you told me to try, but no. No flashmode, no fastboot, no nothing.
