Hard bricked too, done all the normal ****, let it sit, push buttons... non-responsive.
And before anyone says it. THERE IS NO MAGIC BUTTON..

lemme guess odin? I was pretty bricked once. I took the sd card out. Plugged it to my computer (not wall) and held one for like 30-40 seconds and then pressed power and it magically booted into download mode. Just try that or the other way around. Worked for me. Good luck!

What were you doing with it when it got bricked?

Did u plug into computer while battery is out? Then try going into download mode?

yes.. and ill try it powda..
i was odin working on eg22plus, went to odin back to eg22 stock and it just immediately failed after md5 check, and wouldnt come back on... didnt even show to try to write anything.

Do you have a car dock or media dock. I was in a similar predicament once and all of the above failed to bring it back. Then I was on the way to the Sprint store to swap out when I put my Epic in the car dock (force of habit) and it magically booted to the screen with the pictures of the pc and phone. I was able to pull the battery and boot to download mode from there.

Did you push the power button repeatedly when battery was out to drain any leftover juice in the phone or is that just a myth?

Was that to me? I was just suggesting last ditch effort stuff for Chris to try since his phone was bricked. I would even try the pinhole by the camera under the battery cover. Nothing can hurt to try once you have tried all of the other tricks to get your phone back up.

Strange problem I recently developed on my vibrant. Suggestions?

Ok so these last couple of days I've been having the strangest problem with my vibrant. The battery litterally sucks it self on the charger. For example, today at 3 in the morning I woke up to find my phone charging at 71% I was like ok good. Woke up at 7 and the phone was completly dead! It looses power on the charger. At first i thought it was the battery so i switched it. And whattya know. Still the same problem. Then i thought it was the usb port since ya know samsungs port sucks ass so j get a new charger and nothing. Let me remind you tthat this is a recent problem. Any body know a fix to this?

Test your charger. Try usb charge from pc. With a different cable to be sure something is not crossed inside.

The battery should not drain like that period not even cm is that bad
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

My point is nothing to do with rom or phone but rather the charger or cable my be damage and causing short that drains the battery. Hence the suggestion to try other cables and charge methods to eliminate the possibility of this being the culprit.

Bought a new charger before I posted. Still draining!

Does it also fail to charge if the phone is turned off? If it charges while off then perhaps its a software issue after all. If not then the charge/usb port might be bad. How are you charging the battery between posting?

It shows its charging. But it'll go from like 11% to 0% in like 10 mins. And yea it charges with the screen off.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Have you tried to backup and re-flash your phone? Have you tried a battery calibration by wiping the battery stats? My advice *having never encountered that issue* would be to save all your data, make a list of the apps you use regularly and re-flash the phone then manually re-download each app and do not restore anything. if all goes well and it charges like normal then your set and can if you wish restore your old data and/or apps 1 per day till you notice the problem, return if it does.

I did just that. Reflashed a new rom and less drain but its definatly.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

My next advice would be to try stock 2.2 for a day or so and see if it has issues. then if its ok try a new stable version of cm7 or miui * different build than previously used* and see if the problem returns.

Ive been thinking of cm7 but the battery life is driving me away. I was able to charge it till like 40% then i unplugged it by accident and I plugged it back in and BOOM battery drain. Its at 0% and will not rise.

If the phone gets hotter than 120° then it wil stop charging and actually dicharge. Make sure your not overcloking or ajything.

My advice on which rom if your not set would be to use trigger. I moved to trigger a long time ago after one of my bionix flashes didnt work quite right and have not looked back yet. I am currently on project v with trigger theme which is a little more like stock but with tweaks than a fully custom rom.

Ok so I got it to charge too 100% overnight and I unplugged it and it went down too 37% instantly. -__- just started working today and this isn't cool. I also left it by a fan so it wasn't hot at all.

In that case I would be sure to flash back to stock clean and then go to a different rom, I suggest Trigger 3.2 very stable in my experience, and charge to 100% and do a battery calibration. Trigger comes with an app to calibrate the battery and be sure its fully charged.

[Q] Help: Bricked Phone

Hi
I managed to bricked my N4 after running antutu. Is there any way to revive the phone?
I can't start the phone. If I plug the phone into my wall plug, I see constant red LED light.
I've tried the following
1) Press vol down + power button - Didn't work
2) Press vol down and up + power button - Didn't work
Is there any other way methods?

Hmmmm and you just needed to make new thread without searching as there was someone yesterday with exactly the same problem and of course there were million more before you. You have 3 options:
1. Leave it to charge for maybe a day or leave it for say a day and then charge and see if that helps and then charge.
2. Open the phone and disconnect and reconnect battery terminal. There should be YouTube video from one of the members.
3. RMA

Like someone said before it's a rogue app and the only way your going to get the battery drain issue to go away is to figure out which app is doing it and then get rid of it.

I think the best solution for you is to factory reset or re-install android on your device once.
It will be easier than finding out where is the problem. as screen snap shows most of the battery is drained by "android OS".
It was just my opinion you can take it if you want.
My battery usage. Even though my screen on time was only about 2 hrs most of the battery was drained by the screen. So there music be something very wrong in your case.
I don't know about android virus but that might be an option.

Gonna follow along and disable my daydream as well since I'm having the same problem you are with it actually draining while on the charger (Stock ROM, Franco Kernel, OEM wall wart with gold tipped USB cable). Tis quite annoying to have to either keep the screen off or power down completely in order for this bad boy to charge...

[ Q ] not turning on

So my nexus had been unplugged and without charge for about 3 weeks or so, I've been very busy at work. I try and connect the tablet so that i can use again and the screen flickers for an instant and nothing happens, I don't see the white icon charging animation and no response after that. It's my tablet done or is there a solution for this. Thanks to anybody that can help.

Ok, I don't really know what exactly the problem is. But I think the battery seems to be dead. because if it is still good, at least it shows the indicator light when it's plugged with charger.. If u have a simple tool to test battery energy maybe u can find out. or maybe try another battery..

Leave it plugged into the charger for a good while and then hold down the power button hard, for about 30 seconds. See if that forces it on.

How long did you leave it plugged in for? It may take a few hours...

Your device is hibernating to prevent further damaging the battery. Plug it in... boot to bootloader... select power off using the volume keys... the tablet will now charge normally

hi
My problem is solved, I have a friend who had the same problems with the tablet Nexus 7 16GB, the back of the unit opens easily with just a fingernail to open a case as remote and actually the battery plug is not fully inserted into the camera, a little bit of nail to reconnect the cable and now my tablet displays well 100% load.
