Phone wont hold a charge? - Epic 4G General

Ok, well today out of no where my my phone stopped holding a charge, the only way it will turn on is if I keep it on the charger, but right when I disconnect it, it turns off. Any ideas why?
Also I am running FroYo 4.2 and Mammon's ROM on top of it.
But it boots into download mode with out the charger in

This just started happening to me. The phone won't even stay one when I have it plugged in
I'm still on 2.1 stock rom/kernel. I had my phone plugged in all morning and now this

You both just need a new battery, either the chemistry in the cell is shot or it could be the charging/lvc circuit in the pack.

Well the problem went away, I just used ODIN and went back to stock and then left it charging all night

Samsung stuck in boot loop( I think )

About 20 minutes ago my phone recently shut down, and repeatedly starts up for 2 seconds (to the sgh-t959d screen) then shuts down again and does it immediately after. I've taken the battery out, i've plugged it into the computer but the computer doesn't seem to recognize it and the screen goes to the charging battery for 2 seconds then shuts off and does it again repeatedly. I'm currently running a 2.2 froyo firmware, the phone is about 2 months old and this happened out of nowhere I haven't downloaded any apps or anything onto the phone recently, it seems about 70% charged and I do not know what to do, if anyone has any advice for me please reply and help. This phone is not rooted and is 100% stock I have done nothing to it.
I've also tried going into download mode but it goes onto it for a second then restarts the phone.

How are you running 2.2 if the phone is unrooted/stock? Did you mean 2.1?
Can you plug it into a wall without the battery in and boot it?
Perhaps a hardware issue?
EDIT: just noticed the phone wont boot without a battery in. Maybe your battery **** the bed? Do you have a verizon store nearby? I would stop in and have them put in a spare battery quick to see if that solves the problem..
Well not completely stock, it's unrooted though.
No I can't run the phone without the battery by plugging it in.

Sounds like you dont have a fascinate, you should mention that... have you tried download mode? Pull batt, hold vol down, plug in usb

ok so my phone hates me

Had Build 5 of the team hacksung ICS. i went to turn my screen on and nothing, I figure ok, pulll the battery, it will be fine. NOT. I pulled the battery, put it back in, tried to turn the phone on and all I got was the battery charging screen (with a grey battery with the loading symbol in it) and it kept turning off and coming back on over and over. I threw it on the charger for shi*s and giggles and it booted into recovery, nothing I tried made it boot past recovery (while plugged in) or past the half charging screen (when not plugged in)
I managed to go home and odin back to stock (full DL09 w/ atlas 2.2 pit) but if I turn the damn thing off and then try to start it again, same damn thing! idk what the hell to do or even what happened. no amount of odin is helping.
Anyone have any idea what the heck happened here?

Nope but I'm thinking I'm going to try some electronics cleaner just in case. My phone is my music when I lift so I change songs often meaning its a distinct possibility that's its gummed up a bit in there lol

I kinda have the same issue. When I have the phone unplugged and off, I cannot turn it on. When I push the power button I get a blank battery charging image. However, when I plug the phone in and wait for the battery charging icon to appear , then push the power button the phone will start. Also, when on and not plugged in, the notification area intermittently presents "USB connected". I have chalked this all up to being an issue with my USB port on the phone being damaged and learned to ignore the notification. I have tried several ROMs and have the same issues across the board (GM and ICS ROMs)

Try a different battery
That was my next step once I get home. Half afraid to turn the dang thing off at risk of having to start over..again

Ok so I finally got around to some testing. If I power off the phone and power it back on its fine, if I reboot, its fine, if I take the battery out (like when I flashed the ec09 radio earlier) then it does the same crap as before. If I plug the charger in and try again its good. I tried my buddys battery and all was well so its my battery.
Hope this helps anyone who runs into this problem!

Red Light of Death during overnight charging

I will acknowledge from the get-go that this is probably my fault entirely. I was quite tired and fell asleep but in the mean time, I was doing a nandroid backup of my phone - which at the time was running stock rom and stock kernel. I actually had just done the factory reset on the phone too. But my phone is rooted and has the unlocked bootloader. Anyways, I left it on my table while it was backing up, I saw the progress bar and everything was working fine and dandy but this is when I fell asleep. It was on an ac wall charger overnight and I woke up to find it flashing the red light when plugged in only.
So from looking around, some people have said it is the case where the phone is completely discharged and to have it charging for a while, but I'm not sure if this applies to me since I already had it on charge the whole night? What's my situation here?
In any case, I'll be going out to buy my tools, would it just be the T5 Torx screwdriver?
Edit: When the phone is plugged into any charger the red flashing light is persistent, however I did notice that when I plugged it in via usb and my computer, I first got a glimpse at the white battery charging screen for a moment, then the phone would return back to its red flashing
Anyone?
Just from playing around it more I realized that, ONLY when plugged via usb to my computer, I will get that initial solid red light, then the screen with the battery and lightning bolt.
****I realized that if I held the power button on that battery screen, the phone appears to boot up, and I get the black page with "Google", for a short moment then it shuts off and resumes flashing the red light.
Is it because theres not enough charge to fully boot the phone? I already had it plugged in overnight so this really didn't make sense to me.
And I don't know if it the phone actually charges when I have it plugged in and the red light is flashing.
Take the back off and unplug, replug the battery

Instead of trying to boot the phone up, try to get into recovery. Most people that had this type of issue managed to get into recovery and from there reboot..
If that doesn't work, and you manage to get into the recovery, do your wipes, or flash another rom.
If i were you i'd try all those lil tricks, if nothing works, then i'd be thinking about taking the back plate off and unpluging the battery.

How would I get into recovery? Do you mean by holding the power and volume down? I was sure I tried all other ways of holding the power but the most it will give me is the google screen.

Yes, you said that at the battery screen holding power will get you to the google logo, but if you tried holding power+vol down and it's not working, then i guess u don't have much options here..

Battery stuck at 0%, won't charge

So here's my story.
I was using my tablet like normal, and the battery level was around 90%, when suddenly the battery level drops to 0% and my tablet dies. I always charge it every night, and I've never had any issues before, so I figured it couldn't be a battery issue, and I've NEVER had a battery just suddenly die on me before.
When it's plugged in, it shows the battery at 0% and charging, but it never goes above 0%. It works just fine plugged in, but as soon as I unplug it, it says Connect Charger, Power Off... Shutting Down.
But here's the weird thing! I know it can't be the battery, because when I start it up in the bootloader and it's not plugged in, it's absolutely fine! It can run hours at a time without being plugged in at the bootloader screen. But as soon as I start up the system, it gets to the X loading screen, then shuts down.
I tried flashing back to stock everything. Stock 4.2.2, stock 4.3. Nothing works.
Any ideas before I send it back to Google for repairs? :crying:

Did you do full wipe when you flash back to stock ROM?
I believe I have experienced once similar to yours. Not sure how I did it but I think it is "rest for awhile" (5 min), e.g. charge with power off, unplug USB cable, wait a few minutes and turn it on.

Yes, everything was wiped out. I let it charge overnight and now it's stuck at 7%.
Anyways, I'm sending it back to Google.

my device has just quit workin all together

my att g2 4.2 rooted stock rom worked normally last night, this morning I plugged it into the car charger and it displayed it was charging with 2% charge present. I pressed the power button the boot animation began I set it down and when I picked it back up a few minutes later to use it...well nothing...the charging indicator led wasn't lit and when I pressed the power button LG appeared for only a split second then went black. when I plug it in same thing, LG logo for a brief second then disappears. I haven't done anything recently except xposed modules, no flashing of anything. any ideas? thank you guys
It happened to me (on other devices) when I let them discharged too far. Just allow it to charge awhile then try to hold the power button
for 10-20secs ... The NookHD+ were the worst in this situation (it won't charge sometimes, I had to plug/unplug a few times to initiate a charge, I was almost about to RMA one of them).
something else that's odd
when I plugged my device into my laptop the laptop acted like I just plugged in 12 different things that all needed to have their disk formatted. what is going on? wierd

try charging the device in offline mode ( turn it off and let it charrge for a while) and then turn it on . mind wouldnt turn on because of very low charge yesterday. doing this helped
update
I let it charge for several hours, nothing...it appears to be in some kind of boot loop. I can't turn it off all the way, I hold the powwer button for tensec or so and the LG will appear for a second then disapear and then the back light stays on. oh ya, when I plugged it in a few hours ago it wouldn't turn on but the red LED was flashing. I'm not sure how long it stayed on, but it was off when i got back to it several hours later. thank you for your time fellas!
If you can get to recovery at all, leaving it on charge in there. Has saved me in a similar situation.

Could have been the power switch that makes the phone short circuit and goes off anytime.

Thank you sirs, unfortunately still no good
it sounds like you had the same thing as everyone else yesterday that had twrp installed and the carrier automatically updated the system.
I could not get my phone recognized by the laptop and had to use pdanet drivers, which finally worked, but I still had to dig for the device. then had to flash back to stock. There is a pretty good thread on this topic, already. Search for it in the developer section. Do not skip any steps, such as setting the date back to jan2012 and turning off the internet. go slow and methodically, or you will miss a step and get frustrated.
