Hi all,
This seems a rather frustrating way to announce yourself to a community (other than to Fallen Spartan - thanks again for your help) but I need some help. The problem:
A couple of days ago my phone started to turn itself on and off at random points. It will bring up the 'Do you want to turn your phone off YES/NO screen' and even if I say no it will reappear until I say YES. This also cause the hard on/off button to stop functioning. I have been rectifying it by pulling the battery out, putting it back in, letting it turn itself back on (note turning ITSELF back on), letting it boot up, from which I can turn it off. Leave it for a min and then turn it on again. As you can imagine however this is a painful process and one I'd rather avoid on a daily basis.
I have noticed a bit of a pattern and this error often occurs in the morning after taking my phone off charge (I leave it charging overnight). In addition I haven't installed anything in the last 48 hours (the start of the issue) other than the media player mentioned here;
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3248642#post3248642
and the new Dusk Theme....however it was doing it before this was even downloaded.
Anyone else experienced this and more to the to the point has anyone fixed it?
Thanks
No one....?
I had my phone in my pocket while jogging in the rain. The phone didn't get really wet, but from then on the power button is now "stuck". The button is permanently pushed in. (The button appears normal, but the contact inside the phone seems to be stuck closed).
The result is that the phone acts like I'm always holding the power button down. Here's what now happens:
- when I insert the battery, the phone automatically powers up
- when the phone finishes rebooting, the PowerOffWarning.exe application crashes (this is the app that runs when you hold the power button down for a second and you get the Power Down options/Slide2Shutdown (shut/restart etc.)
- battery life is drastically short - the phone runs on a full charge for maybe 3 hours, because the power button is constantly sending interrupts to the phone's CPU which in turn can thus never go into low power mode
- battery drains totally. Normally, when the battery gets low, the phone shuts down. Since the power button is pushed in, the phone is forced to wake up, using a bit of the remaining battery, but then shuts down since the battery's too low. This repeats until the battery is so dead that the phone can't actually power up enough to start the power up sequence.
- the phone constantly reboots when on a charger after the battery has been completely drained. Since the battery is so dead, when it's plugged in to a charger, the phone has enough juice to reboot, but during the power-on sequence the screen turns on which uses too much power, and the phone shuts down. This repeats until the battery has enough charge to handle this big load. It takes 5 minutes of constant rebooting before it charges enough.
I took the phone apart and examined the switch but I couldn't fix it. The circuit is available on eBay but it's really expensive (USD$140 I think).
@GreedyFly
Have you tried the basics like a hard reset or re-flashing a rom?

THIS!
This is a very similar, though slightly more extreme version of what is happening to mine.
@Stuntdouble yes I have I am afraid I have and played with various tweaks.
Any ideas if connector cleaner (something like Servisol) would sort out the connections or is it more likely to harm?
I have an almost identical problem after water "damage" Did anyone come up with a fix/repair???
the fix is to take the thing apart, to the point where you remove the power button PCB, and CO Contact Cleaner the hell out of it, press it while its detached a bunch of times (when i say detached, its still connected to the main ribbon but not clipped into the housing), clean the physical button plastics, and slap it all back together.
theres a picture of the power button circuit board out of the housing in the bottom link of my sig.

Not sure if anyone post it already.
After using the phone for 2 months, I've just experienced the red led issue.
The phone just shutdown suddenly with 4X% remaining when doing benchmark that charging with USB. It just turned off and followed by the red LED.
At that time, I thought I was fxxxed!
I tried to plug and unplug from the PC but no luck, it just popped out the "Google" logo and then the red LED lit up and repeat and repeat.
Then I plugged in the PC again and pressed power on + vol up, it allowed to go to bootloader but soon it shutdown, which means the hardware has't died.
This time I plugged it in the AC charger, the red LED started blinking.
Luckily, charging animation appeared and the phone can be turned on just charged for few minutes.
After turning on the phone, only 1% left.

But I don't think It can drain the battery within a minute, so I decided to reboot the phone.
After reboot, I got 56% left.
Then, I got a conclusion that the red LED may be caused by the wrongly calibrated battery or overheat.
Sorry for my bad English
Or just a bad battery in general. Happened before on the htc phone I had.
Thanks for the screen shot.

Here you go this has been talked about before many times. I had the same issue happen to me and posted just like you and got some more thread links to more people that has happened too.
its just that benchmarks pull a lot of current suddenly from the battery and it cant keep up (try turning on a crt monitor while powered from a 360W ups.. the ups will turn off)..
so once the voltage in the battery drops because of the load.. the phone thinks the battery is dead.. so once you give a little time to recover and charge it for a little while.. the voltage will stabilize and it will all be a ok

There are multiple reasons for the red light. Mine got it while running antutu. Was totaly unresponsive, but could get into bootloader to fastboot the stock images back. No luck on that (still dead) so I had to RMA it
Just had this happen to me Friday night. The batterry went dead so I connected it to the charger and it turned on but then it rebooted and the red LED came on! :/

Happened to me on stock with the phone on the charger overnight. I couldn't even get into fastboot, but pulling the back off to reset the battery fixed it finally. It's such a common problem I halfway believe the LG-sourced batteries have an issue.

Theres a fix for that. Open back cover, unscrew battery connector, disconnect it, and connect it again. And dont screw it. Put the back over on and try to turn on device.

Hey this just happened to me my phone was showing fully charged and then just went black put it on charger and booted up. I'm in cm10 nightly with latest Franco kernal
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
This happened to me running the stock rooted ROM and Franco Kernel (Milestone)
The phone had died a few times, each time going to a red flashing light and would eventually power on. About a week ago, it happened again but the red light was solid and would not power on. The Red LED of Death.
I left it charging overnight for a few days and today managed to power it on. Before trying this jump-start method, I advise leaving it to charge for a very long time (several days). After around 12 hours it seems that the red light goes off. At this point I unplugged and plugged it back in, showing the red light again. I hope this helps someone else fix their phone.
Help!!!!!!!!!
I charged my Nexus 7 2012 32gb yesterday morning, and took it off charge in the afternoon. I lightly used it in the evening, and it probably went to bed on ~60-70% charge. My alarm went off as usual at 07:00 this morning, and as far as I can remember, when it woke me up with that alarm the indicator in the top right was in roughly the right position for ~60-70% charge. Come back to it 5 minutes later after getting dressed, I tried to dab the power button to wake it up. That failed. I tried holding it down, trying to turn it on (it randomly turns itself off at times, for the record, so I suspected that). That also failed. I plugged it in to the charger, and it displayed a black screen with the occasional fuzzy rainbow line flickering on the screen.
In absolute panic, I googled this on my phone, and everybody recommended to take it back to PC World, apart from this one person, somewhere, suggesting to unplug it, leave it alone for a while, and try to turn it on then.
So I did that. I waited half an hour, and tried to turn it on. It successfully worked, apart from the fact that it suggested to me it had 0% charge, which is frankly impossible. Nonetheless I plugged it in, and the battery interface in Settings seems to be doing all kinds of weird things. For starters, I've charged it for half an hour, and it still is on 0%.

The first photo shows it on its lock screen, plugged in. Note it asks for me to plug it in a charger, but in the top right it alleges that it is plugged in, due to the lightning bolt. Weird.
Take picture 2. 0% charge, same as what the notification drop down says. Then "Unknown". Wonderful. Normally,that should say charging, or not charging. But "Unknown"? That doesn't sound good.
Then picture 3. The battery usage graph. My understanding is that batteries discharge on a gradient, often a steep one, but not exactly the cliff drop here.
What on earth is going on, and do I really need to take it back to PC World, or can it be fixed?

EDIT
I've got advice elsewhere and my fix was simply turning the device off, power cable out, then booting it to the Android Bootloader. From there I selected the shutdown option using the volume and power keys, and waited till I was sure it had shutdown. With the off device, I plugged in the power cable, and then turned it on normally. Problem solved.
I have a problem with my One M8 battery charging time (it tooks like 3-3:30 hours from 15% to 100%) and i just talked with HTC tech support. They gave me 2 procedures to fix my problem and to recalibrate my battery. I made this thread because i didn't find a tutorial like this on XDA's One M8 forum.
1st procedure - Try this first:
1. Please go to settings and look for power and fast boot, it must to be off or unchecked.
2. Turn the phone off.
3. Press and hold the volume DOWN button and then press and hold the POWER button until you see a white screen with letter on different colors.
4. Press volume DOWN to select Recovery and then press the power buton.
5. A red triangle with an "!" in the middle will appear after a while.
6. Press and hold the volume UP and press the POWER button just for one second, a blue menu will show.
7. Press volume DOWN to select WIPE CACHE PARTITION and press the POWER button.
8. Ii will show on yellow letters "Wipe cache completed".
9. Now please select "Reboot system now" by pressing the power button.

2nd procedure - they said to do this if the 1st procedure didn't work, but is not recommended to do it frequently
**This process will reset the battery's memory and it will works with a better performance after it.**
1. Have you charged the phone today for at least 10 minutes?
2. Does it have at least 20% of charge?
3. Please turn off the phone.
4. Please, plug it into the charger. Do not do this process using a USB port, it is so slowly for it.
5. Press volume DOWN, volume UP and POWER keys at the same time.
6. Keep pressing the 3 buttons from 2 to 3 minutes. It will light, vibrate and reboot several times.
7. Then unplug the phone and use it as normal until it totally dies, then plug it and be sure that it gets a fully charge.
8. Use the phone as normal and check the battery performance.
I put this prints here to see the "authenticity" of conversation with HTC tech support.
Have you tried these procedures? Any positive result to report?

This is such a load of old BS. Seriously, how is wiping cache gonna help the battery? Ignore it, it does nothing other than serve as a placebo

Well it seems it isn't meant to "help the battery" but to make the phone forget it's stored battery stats. But I agree, the first solution is absolute crap and probably made to silent the caller . No idea about the second one, never heard about anything like that.
Actually , clearing cache help you with wakelocks that result in a bettery battery life .

Doesn't help or atleast should not and didn't when I tried before on my desire hd/ hox.
1st: li-on battery doesn't have memory effect to go full charge cycle, etc
2nd: battery stats wipes themself after every full charge and the phone recalibrates itself after few charges. The thing is if the meter is not right to leave it little more even if it's green. The battery will stop charging on hardware level(protection from overcharging) while the software things it's full. Then the system will reflect the charge correctly.
3rd: xda rulez.

Yes ...hes correct ppl, theres no such thing a battery cal on lithium batteries, theres no memory effect, just tiny board with overcharge protection/cut off at full charge that's it. The best way to keep a litium battery healthy is to not let it go flat, too flat will result in the lithium ion creating a gas and thus potentially blowing up your phone, yes its true. If your battery is faulty you have more of a chance of going pop. Don't leave you phone on the bootloader to drain the battery, that's letting it go too flat.
Worked for me
I had a weird issue with HTC one m8, it suddenly switched off, I could not get it on again. I charged it, and managed to get it on and it showed 1% (although it had been on over 60.) within a few seconds it switched itself off again and repeated the process. The only way I could get it to stay on was keeping it plugged in.
I tried wiping the cache and although it had showed at 26% before I did that, it immediately went up to 100% and now is working OK off power. So if you have this issue, I would recommend that first. Thank you OP!
I received a shiny new TB-8704F from Amazon UK here in California. I've plugged it in to let it get an initial charge, but it's been about 3 hours so far and I still can't get the device to turn on.
Is there a trick I'm missing? I have the red flashing LED indicating it's charging presumably. I hold down the power button for a few seconds and nothing happens. I hold it down for >10 seconds and the LED skips a beat, then resumes.
I don't know that I've had a tablet before where I couldn't power on the device while it's charging. At what point do I get nervous and have to worry about sending it back to Amazon UK? Thanks for the help.
Bump.
Any thoughts? Still no go after charging for 24 hours. Red flashing light for charging, holding down the power button for more than 10 seconds causes a brief skip in the flashing LED, but other than that nothing I do will get a response. Unfortunately, Amazon UK won't ship me a replacement device, so my only option is to pay for shipping and get a refund.
Hi did you get anywhere with this, I'm experiencing the exact same issues
Did anyone find a solution to this? I let the battery in my tablet go completely flat, and now it won't start, symptoms are exactly as described by the OP.
What about holding the power button and volume up button? Or perhaps power+volume up+ home button (if there is one). This will hopefully allow you to boot into recovery mode. From there, you can reboot into the normal system. If it won't reboot into the system, then it points to a larger problem with the OS.
I’m having the same issues with the Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus version . The tablet had the same problem once before, but the Power button hard reset worked that time. The tablet booted up just fine. Halleluiah, I said to myself and first thing I did was to look for latest Android updates. The tablet reset itself, it is not booting up any more.
Now, the tablet won’t start. Red LED flashes ones per second when charging. I tested the power consumption during charging – approx. 900mA and it takes about 4 hours for the full charge. Nothing wrong here, I guess.
Holding down the Power button + UP volume won’t initiate the recovery menu. I even disassembled the tablet (took the back cover off) disconnected the battery, left the tablet for few minutes plugged the battery back in, but with no effect. The unit appears to be dead.
Looks like the firmware might be corrupted.
Is there anybody having same experience with this tablet and is there any way for the firmware to be reflashed? Unfortunately, no USB device is detected when this tablet is connected to PC.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
I too have the same problem with my Tab 4 8 plus.

I too have the same problem with my Tab 4 8 plus. The red led keeps on blinking during charging with no effect on pressing power button.
Hi,
I’ve tried to return this tablet back to live by the following:
1. Remove the battery.
2. Press and hold the "Power" button for 20 seconds.
3. Now put the battery back in.
4. Plug it in to charge and allow it to fully charge before turning it on.
It is an advice from other forum. Try it, you could have more luck than me. It did not work for me, unfortunately.
I made some measurements and if there is someone out there with same Lenovo Tab 4 8, and same NO POWER ON issue, please share your experience or possible solution to fix it.
I numbered the test pads (which sits right underneath the battery terminal). Test pad 2 shows some activity when charging (seen on the scope trace) .
When the tablet is fully charged up and I tried to do a hard reset (holding down the PWR button for 30sec.), I could see that the current flowing to the USB port drops to zero momentarily and then rises up to approx. 50mA. It looks like the tablet is trying to power cycle itself but fails when starting.
There can be at least two causes for this behaviour I think: A) a faulty hardware component, B) firmware issue.
Are there any more test pads which can help identifying exact location of the problem? What are other outputs from the battery?

Hello all.
Strange problem I have. I replaced the batteries in both my Moto X Pure's. One is a hand me down, the other my own. I replaced the batteries in both. But the hand me down one only charged to 85-86%. Thinking a bad battery to start, returned the battery and bought a different new one. Installed that one and same result. Only charges to 85-86%. Other than that, phone works great. Battery does hold a charge long started at 85% than it did with the old battery. Haha
I inspected for any physical damage. Looked to see if the battery or anything else was contacting anything it shouldn't. Everything looks identical to the other phone I replaced the battery in. Nothing lose or broken. Did a full drain of the battery ( if I did it right.) Then recharged it for all day. Still, only 86%. If I turned it on, will will say "Full Charge in 3 hours" or 2 hours. A day can pass and still will say the same.
So any ideas? 2 different batteries from 2 different brands and still the same issue.
Enter the bootloader, navigate to the bootloader logs entry (if the Moto X has one) and long press the power button until the device shuts off. This will clear the bootloader's logs as well as any residual stats related to the battery. Your battery should then display the correct amount, or charge fully to 100%.
UPDATE: I got it! Just held the Power and Volume Down button for a long time and it rebooted!

Enter the bootloader, navigate to the bootloader logs entry (if the Moto X has one) and long press the power button until the device shuts off. This will clear the bootloader's logs as well as any residual stats related to the battery. Your battery should then display the correct amount, or charge fully to 100%.

Ok so holding down the Power Button when the Bootloader Logs option is on the screen doesn't shut off the power or anything else. Something different with the Moto X Pure? I held it for about a minute (and my thumb was losing blood lol) and it was still just at that screen. Also, because of that, I cannot cycle to the other options in the Bootloader menu. I have to hold power and volume down until it reboots. Have been looking up anyway to clear the Bootloader Logs on this phone and your suggestion (which seems to work on other phones great) is the only one I see. So weird.

I replaced the battery with a OEM one. Actually found a supplier for the OEM battery! Replaced it, connected the charger to it and guess what? Again, only to 85%. But this time, it doesn't say 2 hours to full. It just says TurboPower Connected. Oh and with the OEM battery, I did what you said to clear the bootloader logs and it did actually shutdown like you said it would. But, the battery is still showing 85%.
Should I let it drain to 0% then try to have it charge fully again?
It won't hurt to let it drain to zero and then recharge.
