[Q] Didn't even flash or root yet and my 32 grey GT died last night...

Didn't even flash or root yet and my 32 grey GT died last night. It had been working great and was getting ready to flash pershoots kernel this weekend. Last night I plugged in after shutting it down like I do every night. Today when I went to turn it on nothing. I tried holding down the power button for a while and still nothing. I tried holding down volume buttons with power for extended period still nothing. I even tried plugging into different outlet to see if something happened with outlet and maybe drained the battery overnight. Luckily I got it from Fry's two weeks ago on Friday right when they came out and Fry's has a 15 day return policy but this makes me a little concerned... and that's cutting it a little too close.
Has anyone heard of things like this happening with the GT? I'm thinking I may need to see if they'll still sell me the extended warranty. I babied this thing and hadn't even flashed anything on it yet. I'm a little concerned about the reliability of the hardware... I'm not usually the one with the needle in the haystack device that goes bad but who knows... I'm already in withdrawal without it.
Is there anything else I can try before I take it back? Maybe try plugging it into the computer instead to see what happens? I can't really see what else I could do since this thing doesn't have a removable battery. If it won't power on I can't imagine there's much I can test with the SDK dev tools from the PC using the usb cable?

plugged it in with usb...
I do hear the sound of a device being plugged in on win7 when I plugged GT in and got the driver message in tray. GT still won't turn on. When I hold down the power button every about 6 seconds my windows machine machine makes the same sound you get when plugging in a usb device in addition to an extra sound at the end.
[email protected] well I guess it's going back tomorrow.

You got the sleep of death. This is a honeycomb bug that i have personally experienced in the xoom, transformer, and the GT. The way to fix it is to unplug the GT, press the power button down by itself and hold it until the you see the screen turn on and startto boot up. It may take 15 seconds or more.
If that doesnt work, plug it into the wall outlet and try the process again. If that fails also, unplug it again and try the process once more.
That combination seems to work for everyone. The only exception would be if the battery is completely drained. You would need to plug it into a wall charger for a few hours and let the battery charge, and then try the process again.
I dont know why this hasnt been fixed by google yet, its really annoying. I thought 3.1 would fix it but it didnt.

you should have post this on the general thread, but why dont you return it for a different one? problem solve...

Android Development is not for your Questions or Problems Please post in the correct forums
Moving to General

I think you got the battery drained .. for some odd reasons the android has leaky power consumption even when shutdown on occasions ..
Charge it up for a while .. wait .. correction LONG while ..
Hope that is the problem

Exactly the same problem, I have tried the hold power button but it is not working... any other work around?
Please Help

I chatted with a rep from Samsung last knight and he told me that I needed to leave the Tab charging for at least 6 hours and then try again... so I'll let you know if that did the trick... hope it does...

I've actually had this happen on two different 32GB Galaxy Tabs (the original one I purchased and its replacement). After powering the device down it would not boot up.
In both cases it happened about 3 days after receiving the tablet and with 80-90% battery charge remaining. I tried additional charging, holding the power button down for an extended period of time, and attempting to boot into download mode - everything failed to bring it back to life.
I'm not sure what triggers this condition my only suspicion was that it may have something to do with enabling encryption on the device. On the second tablet I didn't have time to do much customization or install many apps but it ended up dying shortly after enabling encryption.

Wow. This happened to me yesterday with my 16gb from Sprint. Had come unlocked,yesterday 3 days in, died. I tried all the suggestions above to no avail.
Took it to corporate today. Now waiting on replacement.
bumming*
Hope next one is unlocked
Edit**** worked. Lol. Guess I didn't try it again today after I tried charging it last night.
About 15 to 20 seconds and she's back!!! Excellent! ! Thank you so much.
Not sure now whether to replace it.
With another.

Dead Nook Touch Fix - showing green light on charge

Thought I'd pass this fix along.
I have a rooted nook that would not power up (stuck on last display screen). When I'd plug it in -- it showed a GREEN light (already charged). I tried all of the reset fixes (20 seconds hold, 1 min hold, wait a minute, 15 secs) -- nothing worked.
Finally, I pulled it apart using this tutorial on Youtube:
[Can't post link because I'm a newbie --- just search for "How to Take Apart a Nook Simple Touch"]
Very easy to do if you have a T-6 torx driver. I unhooked the battery. Held down the power button (white button if disassembled) for about 30 seconds to discharge the board. Then hooked the battery back up, reassembled, plugged in -- and it started charging (orange light).
It looks like the issue was -- the nook was registering the battery as fully charged -- and it was completed depleted. The above fix seemed to reset it.
Hope that helps someone.

I also had this problem this afternoon. This procedure worked for me too. Thanks a lot because it helped to revive my reader.
However, for Nook to have such a problem and we need to fixed it in such a complicated way is not acceptable.

Fantastic. I had the same problem and now it is solved. Thank you.
After I bought a Nexus 7 my NST was resting for a while. Now, when I wanted to use it again, it was totally dead. Then your tip bring it back to life.

Thank you. When plugged, instead of "Charging (AC)" my nook was showing "Not Charging" in device info/battery. And in the end, it went dead.
After your fix, it works

That's the ticket

THANKS!
Just the tip I needed! :good:

Thanks!
That seemed to work
It's now showing the "Your Nook's battery charge is too low to power up. Please wait 15 minutes! screen and a loading animation :good:
I was seriously worried.
This is really weird...is there any reason for this issue?
I am quite new to the nook in general. (Nook simple touch glowlight in my case.)
Maybe we can check for similarities and find what was causing the problem.
So what did I do to my Nook:
Rooted, Nook Manager
Nooks gapps flashed, market downloads work (search not)
Installed a bunch of apps
Installed a custom Launcher (Lightning Launcher)
Installed Swiftkey as a custom keyboard (needed several language charactersets)
Left Wifi turned on all the time
Used the feature to restore the glowlight setting after being woken up again
Used the setting to skip the lock-screen swipe
Used a custom screensaver/lockscreen text
Changed button links in the main menu (n-button) to adress the original home, as well as the custom launcher home
That's what I can remember :/
And as far as I can remember I had more than 15% of battery (at least).

With the 1.2.1 software there is an automatic shutdown that kicks in at around 20% battery.
It doesn't work very well.
It will also give you warnings when it's under 20% but plugged into the wall and charging.

Green light issue, fix not work
I recently got a brand new nook simple touch and after trying various fixes to try and start my nook up I came across this. I was hoping this would work but it is still on green when battery is plugged in and charging off mains. The light is also green when plugged into mains without battery attached. It wont go past the "Fully charge before first use" start screen and can't find any more information on what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the fix. It worked the first time I tried but after only one day the problem presented itself again and after that the fix doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm leaving the battery disconected a few hours in addition, to try if it fixes this problem completely (but I'm not too optimistic).

This firmware, does it still count even if you have rooted the device? If so, do you think a downgrade to 1.1.1 would fix the problem? It is rather funny that I didn't have this problem until a couple of days ago, even if my NST is only 2 months old!

Update:
It seems that my battery is not yet dead after all. It turns out that I was measuring it wrong (thank you Engineering degree) and now it reads 4.15V as it is supposed to.
So, that brings me back to the theory that there is something wrong with my software. Right now it can boot for a few seconds but as soon as it goes to sleep mode (either by clicking on the "power" button or just waiting), it freezes. I recovered the official firmware and the problem persists.

Thanks, this trick fixed mine too!

Does anyone know if this fix can be achieved by simply charging the nook for an extended period of time? I have the exact same problem but I'm not so sure about opening the back cover as it voids my warranty and I only purchased this device in early June, and the problem appeared by the end of June :/
I have to confess, I never did charge my nook fully when I bought it as recommended, and simply dived in to using it as soon as the battery had a sufficiently high enough % as I was too excited lol

I find it acceptable. After all, if we weren't messing around with the devices in the first place, we wouldn't ever need to do this.
Plus, really, it's not that complicated. A couple of screwdrivers and it's open. I mean, should we expect it to open itself with a voice command or something?
Anders

Thanks, this method worked ok with mine.

HI dudes,
it seems I've got a similar problem, green light on usb and stuck on "YOur Nook has turned off completely"
I take it apart with no success ... any idea ? Mu NST is nearly brand new, ever used a lot ...
thanks

I had the same problem, the reason was completly dead battery. After bat replacement nook works great!.
When battery have to small voltage, noow won't start to charge. You can try with external charger, to bring battery to life.
I think some nooks was matured in stock, thats why battery was completly discharged...and wont charge with nook.

Nook showing green light, main board drain and nothing
My Nook shows the green light when plugged in either to the pc or wall charger. I've held down the button twice for 30 seconds and disconnected the batery holding the power button 30+ seconds. Neither worked. Any more suggestions? I do notice a slight flicker of amber whilst holding the button down with the power cord plugged in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Model: Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360
Running Custom: Hyperion 9 GM Final Build Final Rev + Update-01
Situation: So I've successfully flashed the new ROM a week ago. It was great, I must say, I really loved it. But yesterday, when I was on my way home, I found out that the phone wasn't starting up, even after I held the power button for more than 10 seconds.
I assumed that maybe the battery got drained, so I charged it as soon as I got home. The problem is, it's not charging. I even left it overnight to charge only to discover that it didn't.
I tried three different chargers and I even tried charging it by connecting it to my laptop but none of it worked.
I tried pressing the Volume Up+Menu Key+Power Button but to no avail. I can't even access the Download mode.
I can't open nor charge my phone and the buttons give no response at all.
So, any idea what the problem might be? Is it caused by the new ROM or is it hardware failure? Or is my phone bricked?

Is there any light (i.e) black screen with dim light? Or your phone doesnot give any response like a dummy?

either
your battery is dead
the charging pin is faulty
the motherboard is faulty
the power button is faulty
the screen is faulty
take it to a repair shop for diagnosis

use a universal charger so you can know if your battery's dead or not.. I had the same problem before my phone just died and won't turn on I bought a universal charger and found out my battery's dead..

Thank you for the response.
Just figured out the problem, guys. The problem turned out to be the battery.
I used my friend's phone battery (Both of us owns a SGY) and my phone finally opened!
What confused me, though, is that my friend used my phone battery on her SGY, it worked just fine! My battery hates meh. :v

Nexus 7 won't charge/power on/can't access fastboot or bootloader

Hi guys,
My Nexus 7 (2012) turned off(not properly) when the battery level was low and won't power on. I tried a battery from a working tablet and tested my battery in another tablet. It seems like the issue is somewhere else.
These are the things I tried:
- leave it for a couple of hours charging (no battery sign at all)
- hold the power button with/without the volume levels while it being both connected and disconnected.
- tested my battery in another tabled and put a fully charged battery from another tablet
- made sure that the battery is connected
There was one more thing I tried - to press the Power button with no battery inside but the tablet being connected to a laptop via the USB cable. One could hear something like a boot noise coming from the tablet (doesn't happen when the battery is inside)
In December, 2015 I installed a Custom ROM with android 5.1.1 which I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/android-6-aosp-grouper-t3268172/ (the thread was renamed and is now about the Android 6 update) The tablet worked fine for these 3 months but one day when I was checking my email it went off and won't respond to any actions.
Could you please help me to fix it? I'm just not ready to give up on this tablet. Thanks!

Both you and i, same model, essentially, the same circumstances. I also tried every method you mentioned as well. Even down to the flashing of a rom. Same results. I even tried "jump starting" the battery. Not wanting to give up on it. It sits in my closet like that boy in A.I at the bottom of the ocean, waiting... I know that is not the reply or help you were looking for. Just so you know, you are not alone..

Well, that's a good start, at least I am not the only one!
Have you tried to connect your device via USB? My laptop can see a connected device but it can't recognize it and I hear some sounds coming from the tablet when I try to hold the `power` button. This made me think that it can be a display/screen related, so the device works but we can't see it due to the broken screen/display. Don't know how to check that though.

Same here, stock Nexus 7, won't turn on, just switched off one day and won't come back on, have tried everything as suggested above, can't get it to flicker, doesn't even register the power connection with a green light or anything

Try replacing the screen, just to check. If that doesn't fix it, at least you have a brand new screen!

let it sit on the charger for a hour, then hold down the button for 20 sec

same issue here as well ive had it for about a year and im not able to access anything via my pc google help forums had no answer either, looks like we may be screwed..........

Hi, I just had same issue with my tablet only thing is that I was using it with ~20% of battery, nothing special - browsing the web using chrome, then the screen lit gray and shut off. After that no response either from charger, holding power button for 60+ seconds didn't work either, tried re-connecting the battery, still with no signs.
And then, I tried to plug in the charger and then pressing VolumeDown+Power immediately after connecting the charger. Suddenly got some response, that battery charging icon appeared, and it shows my battery charging, but from 0%. Still waiting to charge a bit until I can try to boot it.
I'll update this post with any news.
EDIT: When I connected my tablet to the charger it had that hissing sound, but after few minutes it stopped.
After 15 minutes of charging I managed to boot my Nexus7 with 7% of charge in it a that moment, It seems to work for now.
Summarry of what I did to solve my problem:
1. Opened the back of the N7 (I used a guitar pick for this) and re-connect the battery.
2. Then plugged in the charger and at the same time pressed VolumeDown+Power, battery icon lit up but went out, repeated step 1, and then step 2 again gave me animated battery charging animation which showed up for like 10 seconds
3. Waited for 10-15 minutes and tried to boot normally. And it works now

Honestly, I do not think it is the battery, I can see the Charge signal, and the Battery is showing 1,784 VDC tested unplugged and disconnected, my smart young co-worker seems to think POST is failing, I still never see a "Charging" indication.
Does anyone know , Is there a fail safe, say the battery is disconnected, and usb charger is plugged in, will i just see all 5VDC at the sub port, ?
I never see a screen flicker, DEAD battery sign, nothing.
co-worker, tried some things that made sense when he explained what he did, I would have to agree with him.
Now it is rooted, 4.x something I forget, Never went to 5.x did once early and did not like it, Back stock, ran 2 days no issues, Rooted again, 4.x still do not remember, worked great 3-4 months, Sons ran it to DEaD and that was it, put it up for 90 days or so, wife got new tablet, kids have Fire each, and here i am tabletless, CRAP, did not want to throw to much $$$$ at this thing, nor did I want to buy a new one.

I have bought phone from 3rd party seller(Flipkart - Google's official sales partner here) coz Google rarely had the phone in stock. Also my 1 year warranty is also over.

Do you mean it won't power on at all? If so, hold the power button only down for 2-3 minutes or until it boots, or not.
If you meant it starts but gets stuck at the Google (no startup animation) and you cannot access recovery mode, that is totally different.
Connect it to a PC and see how it is detected in Device Manager.

I tried holding power button for several minutes. Nothing .
It does not show any signs of life, and its definitely not stuck in a bootloop.
Also got nothing in device manager too , not even EDL 9008 Mode.

Seems like after charging all night, the battery would be full. Never heard of a 6P dying on the spot with a full battery. Were you using a stock charger or aftermarket? Wall charger or something else? I'd put it on a *different* wall charger overnight and try the long power button press again. At least 2 minutes.

Either your charging port is bad in the phone has no juice and died. Or the battery is bad and come morning it died because of the charging all night. Or possibly the power button connection is bad internally maybe broken and can't turn on. I had a bad power button

How did you know it was a bad power button?
I have a similar problem as the OP. If I shut my phone off I can't usually get it started for about a day or 2. I'm starting to think I may have a bad power button as well.
*Edit*
It can't be a bad power button on my unit cause it works flawlessly with the phone on. I'm stumped.

Last night I left my phone charging overnight.Today morning when I woke up phone was working.I opened snapchat and phone got stuck.I gave it some time but the screen turned off after a while and now the phone is dead.No charging animations,no recovery mode,no flashing LEDs,NOTHING !! I have bought phone from 3rd party seller(Flipkart - Google's official sales partner here) coz Google rarely had the phone in stock. Also my 1 year warranty is also over.

I guess the battery has been dead coz I have faced similar situation with my HTC ONE X+ using it for just a year and the battery got swollen and it's completely dead. I went out to a repair shop nearby and after opening the mobile, the battery was completely swollen and the technician just replaced a new battery and it did boot up and worked fine. So from my experience I guess it's the battery that got damaged completely (dead) and you need to replace the battery. Hope this information is helpful

You couldn't tell the battery was swollen before the phone was opened up? I wasn't aware until recently that this was a potential problem with the 6P but since other people have reported the same I guess it can be added to the list.

My job involves troubleshooting electronics with circuit boards all the way up to 3 phase hv. It's probably likely a power issue which is either the battery, screen, board, switch, or connection. But the most likely are the forementioned.

I got it diagnosed from Huawei Service Centre at nominal charges.They say motherboard is fried.
