device shuts down affter fully charged

Hi.
I have galaxy for about 4 weeks now. After two I had to wipe the device because of random rebooting while connecting devices via bluetooth and wifi networks. Even now it makes me smash it, but it seems to be not often issue.
After that wiping to defaults, galaxy become turning itself off after fully charged battery. how to fix that? that is really irritating, when leaving phone to charge during night ... and in the morning it is powered off :|
another problem is that I could not access the start-up menu (up or down + home + power) I have only proceeded the setup menu defaults reset option.
please help
Galaxy v JM2/JM1 2.1 update

sounds like a defective unit
but it could be one of those with the comatose bug, the ones that will lock up in sleep mode because of poor signal for data

I don't think it has defect... in that case, it should act similar in the same situations.
Now the problem is different .. :| can't access the downloader/recovery menu and there is only the yellow exclaimer mark telling that there is no connection (I was flashing to 2.2 :| and something went wrong)
does anyone know working solution in case where 3button click doesn't work?

the hair dryer heat, to unlock the 3 button boot into Download Mode to flash again

are you serious about the hair dryer heat? it seems that you are joking ....
please explain me step by step how to unlock the download or recovery mode
-------------
found heating up information .. you didn't joke
I will try that method later
thank you

Another way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201

I've found that after bricking the device. In that solution I must have working (booting) device, which I don't have now....

I have the same problem with a Galaxy S I897. Problem start when I bought a new OEM battery with dock. Happen only when I fully charge the battery and leave the phone alone, if I make a considerable use of battery this don't happens.
I'm using cognition 4.3 and this don't happens on cognition 4.3... I'm going to test today with another battery to see if a problem with the battery or a permanent problem specific of my phone

Check the thread below, might be a GB driver issue which shuts the charger off after full charge and makes the phone run on battery instead:

Power Button Staying Lit

Is anyone having this problem. I have an a70 250gb when I push the power button it stays lit even in deep sleep. My battery drains completely overnight. I don't want to power off when not using for short periods of time.

I had the same bug as well with my 25ogb, but for some reason after a full reset it seems to be gone...
I thought at fist a program might have caused it, but i've reinstalled the same apps and i don't have this problem anymore..

I too recently developed this problem where the LED light stays on and keeps using power when in standby. I thought it might be some app I'd installed but thought it might sort itself out so after a week without improvement, I did a Reset, without result (except for losing another 32MB to the Swapfile). So then did a Reinitialise, also without result. To be clear, I didn't install any apps and still the thing won't go to sleep anymore. Any idea's?

Well looks like we're at a loss... I got the same bug on my a101. Battery drain isn't too serious though, but still it just boggles the mind.

I have the same problem and it happened around the same time my USB port died.
I've been waiting until the shop where I bought it has stock again to return it for repair/replacement. I think this is related to the USB dying.

It's happening the same with my 101. The led stays on when it goes to sleep, even after stopping all the processes using the Archos OS Monitor tool.
After a reboot seems to work OK; the led turns off in standby mode after five seconds more or less.
I haven't used deep sleep yet.
Maybe some application is causing this?
I installed only a few apps and firmware is v2.1.08:
- Aldiko
- Angry Birds (of course)
- DroidWall
- ES File Explorer
- Google AppsWidgetsoid
- SiMi Folder
- Zuma's Revenge

Have you checked the right tab "Wake locks" in the Archos OS Monitor?

Yes, I did change to this tab once and the list was empty. It appeared and disappeared a process very fast, so fast that I couldn't read the complete name
Good hint!

I get this sometimes on my 101, but a reboot seems to sort it out, Its got to be a process or app running in the background I think.

The best answer on the ArchosFans forum was :
My gut reaction is that you'll see this happen when you have the USB host problem because that issue happens when the power regulator chip in the Archos dies. And nothing can be done other than an RMA with Archos.

I verified this and my USB port was indeed not responding, so I've swapped it at the store and the new unit is wicked

Re: Power Button Staying Lit (Possible Fix)
Ok here's what I did after checking that the USB port was not the issue(worked fine with a usb flash drive). Check the following location
Go to: Settings-->Location & Security-->Use Wireless Networks
Description lists it as "See location in applications(such as Maps) using wireless networks)
If it is enabled, disable it. I turned it off, went pack to my home screen Soft press the Power Button for Standby Mode and the power LED is off within a few seconds.
Worked for me, Hope it works for you

Yeah, I have the USB host problem too, and it does seem like that is the cause. Argh, I don't want to go a week without my A70. D:

Confirmed. Hell, didn't know that would work O_O.
Thanks!

No luck for me - it was already off, and toggling it on then off didn't help, even after a reboot.
Nothing in the wake-locks list, and my host USB port is dead.
I see an RMA coming.

galaxy tab 10.1 p7500 shut off- bricked?

hey to all, its my first msg here so ill try to describe as much as i can
I'm reading in XDA for a while, almost every question i had i found the answer here somewhere so thanks all all of you!
i have the p7500 tab with JellyBeanRom ICS v6 XXLQ8 with the A1 kernel (installed it few days ago, till then i was with JellyBeanRom ICS v5.1 i think)
Two days ago i found my tab off, i tried to turn it on and no respond, only after at least 10-15 tries of holding the power and vol+ or vol- and just holding each one of them separately for 20-60 seconds one the combinations boot it on.
I used the tab like nothing happened , fixed permissions and it worked fine until the screen went off (i think only when it was in 'deep sleep' cos i turned off the screen few times only for few sec and it was ok). sine that moment the tab was off again for 12 hours, only today again after lots of tries and strange combinations i succeed to boot it again.
I installed the rom again, wiped every option, fixed permissions again and used again the tab for 45 min (while he was with screen on) and it worked ok, connected it to the pc and it was fine, i went to a meeting with the tab in my bag and i got out and the tab is still off.
when its off, the computer doesn't recognize it, the tab is no charging since the morning and still nothing.
any idea please? i have a cwm backup that maybe can help me but need to boot first

If you were having stange problems with turning it on, why didn't you look into it the first, or second time?
Anyway, this happened to me on my tab using one of the JB roms.
-Have you tried charging with charger and not the PC?
-When you plug it in to the wall, do you get the battery icon, even for a short few seconds?
Just to confirm, you have tried holding the power button for 30-40 seconds and it doesn't do anything? Do you feel it vibrate at all?

i didnt thought to look it up at the first time cos i thought its only a glitch cos i turned it on again and it worked fine, the 2nd time i reinstalled the rom and wiped everything..
-Have you tried charging with charger and not the PC? Yes, tried few chargers and 2 different cables
-When you plug it in to the wall, do you get the battery icon, even for a short few seconds? nope, didnt got anything, no battery icon.
Just to confirm, you have tried holding the power button for 30-40 seconds and it doesn't do anything? Do you feel it vibrate at all? yes i tried it, i even used a tape to hole the power button for few hours, and also to hold power and vol-.. and no vibration at all
if ill take it to samsung lab, they have any way to know that i changed rom? cos if its off, i can tell them that i didn't changed a thing and like this the warranty still good

please help..?

If it's still not turning on then I suspect it's a hardware issue. If you can get it to turn on again flash a stock rom and test.
If it turns off again your only option is to send it in for repair. Alot of times they will fix it and not care about the rom.

[Q] strange freezes

every now and then when i pull my Verizon S4 out of my front pocket (screen off), it seems locked up when i try to wake it. sometimes the bottom buttons are lit up (menu, back) but the phone is unresponsive. i hit the power button a few times, or hold it for a while, press home, or whatever, and it generally reboots eventually. any idea what could be going on?
could this be a samsung sensor that it is in my pocket? i don't think it has ever happened outside of my pocket, but is has happened 3-4 times now.
it never feels warm, so i don't think it is overheating. i have a TPU case, so i don't think the power button is getting hit (although maybe it is).
i'm on Beans 6 with the KT kernel, but i think (i'm not positive) that it happened even when on stock.

Iv had very similar problems, and have been doing some reading, and it looks like it could be battery related... some one on another forum (could be this one cant remember) said that they had the same issue with there stock battery... I have just replaced my battery yesterday, ill post back later 2day\2moro.
For me when it was in this locked up mode and i connected the charger, the state of the phone was like it was fully off, the green battery charging icon would be shown on the screen, and then i could use the power button to turn the phone back on.

interesting. let me know what you find.
since this is happening when m phone is asleep (unlike many complaints about it happening when using specific apps) I am curious if it may be related to my KT kernel tweaks, which i copied from an expert, and which set certain CPU parameters to save battery when the phone is asleep. i'm going to try reverting those to default, or maybe try a different kernel.

Hey Mate, so far the phone has been real solid, iv had no lockup or anything with this new battery... still could be coincidence.. but its working great!

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Not Turning On

Hi people.
So i'm having a problem with my S7 Edge and i don't think it is common. A few weeks back I was using my phone and it would suddenly turn off and the battery would be drained too. After this first incident with the problem it happened more often, and the phone would start doing boot loops to the point where the phone just froze and turned off. When these problems occured it will usually need to be a problem where I do a safe boot (Volume up, Home button and power key), and everything will be fine (or to charge it if the battery drained), but recently, the phone just didn't work at all, to the point I waited for the battery to drain (10 hours), and try charging it, nothing happens.
So firstly I was watching a video and checking my CPU/Battery tempretures to see if that was the problem (the tempretures at the time were around 31 degrees), and mid way through the video it bugged out through the audio in a high screech and turned itself off.
I tried turning it on again but no response to the screen, i tried safe booting it, or every alternative booting option, it did not work at all.
Here is all the diagnostics and repairs I did, but no luck:
- Tried turning it on
- Different boot options (Volume up/down, Home button & power key)
- Cleaning the port for moisture detection
- Replacing the battery for a new one (Genuine one)
- Doing all of the above, with it on charge
- Connecting to a PC, but no detection
One positive I found was that when i put the phone on a wireless station, it would change colour to show that the phone is charging. I have however took the wireless out of the phone as it was in the way of the battery, and safely in my draw.
Before this final fault happened, I did do a recovery to a previous Android version, just incase if it was a software fault, but it wasn't. The phone is not rooted and I had it since September of 2016.
Is there any alternative options to do? As i'm running out of ideas to do as every solution on the internet is to turn it on, which i can't whatsoever.
The warranty is voided also as there is a crack on the screen lens, and it's way too much to pay for a repair.
I need some explination of why this is happening, so I can go in the right direction and not to waste money if i was going to a repair service, or purchasing the parts for myself.
Any help would be highly appericiated.

Check your installed apps to see if there any viruses on your phone. All you said are signs that your phone might have a virus (check how to remove it here: https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/how-to-tell-if-your-phone-has-a-virus/
However, there is a chance that you do not have any viruses on your phone, but at least you have to isolate this possibility.
Did you recall installing any app prior to this behavior?

This may be the case, however i can't turn on the phone at all. I tried every possible reboot possible, download mode, bios mode, safe boot, reboot, but nothing happens unfortunately. Unless i can do it whilst it is turned off, i can do something. I have a PC if i can do anything else with it.
I don't think I have installed any weird apps on the phone.

sounds like a brick to me. Not a lot I can thing of you can do.
If you place the wireless card back in does it boot?
IT sounds like you've messed with the internals, so possible you damaged something?

I don't particularly think that I broke it from the inside as it was behaving the same before i opened it. And when i used the wireless charging, it will only indicate it was charging or getting detected on that charging pad and not on the phone regarding a red led, or the charging icon

Have you tried holding volume down + home + power for 15 seconds and try turning on the phone again?

As mentioned in the description, I have unfortunately
