I think my wing is beyond saving at this point but I wanted to check here and see if anyone had any suggestions. 100% of the time that I send a text and slide the face closed right after I do that the phone will shut itself off. If I recieve a text or a phone call about 15-20% of the time the phone will just lock up but not reboot. It is totally hit or miss when I reboot it, some times it'll boot back up then freeze, some times it'll boot up and work for a while til it reboots again, some times it'll get stuck in a boot loop. Every once in a while when I boot, the screen will go all fuzzy, almost like a computer with a bad video card. Now I have flashed the rom back to factory, I have done a hard reset, and none of this has fixed it yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Before you give up. Try something first. Does the Wing have this behavior if it is plugged in to its charger. If it behaves well when plugged in, then most likely you have a bad battery.
cant believe i didn't think of that already. plugged it in and everything has been fine for a couple hours now. I just ordered a new batter for like 12$, good lookin out, thanks.
I have had three Mytouch 4gs replaced because every one of them I get turns itself off and wont turn back on until the battery is pulled out and put back in. This happens about 6 times a day.
I have tried a new SIM card, new sd card, new battery, factory reset, factory reset with a format of the sd, and they still turned off even without any apps installed and not signed into google.
I am baffled. Does anyone here know what could be wrong here?
i dont know why this has happened to you so many times but it happened to me this morning and immediately after the battery was pulled and reinserted i went to rom manager and fixed permissions. took a while to finish cause i have buku apps but hasnt happened since.
hope it helps ya!
I was running completely stock when this happened, but I've since upgraded to virtuous fusion. Is it better to boot into recovery using CWM to fix permissions or am I fine doing this from the app?
Well I fixed permissions through CWM and it just turned off on me again. Ugh. I'm guessing its not a problem with the rom but with my hardware. Should I try flashing the latest radio?
Does anyone else here have this problem? Wtf is going on?
idk if its the same problem you're having but mine has recently started turning the screen off, the buttons still turn on as well as the led blinking if i have a notification but the screen wont come back on until i do a battery pull
so i'm also wondering what the problem is, fyi i'm using the kernel that came with cm7 and the latest radio
Hmm not sure. When my screen wont turn on I get no lights at all.
One of the causes can be the battery going bad.
I had the same issue until they sent me a new battery.

I have tried many different batteries with no effect.
I have noticed however that if it goes unresponsive and I plug it in the charging light comes on and I am able to boot the phone. It will turn off rather quickly though. Like in 20 minutes as opposed to 2 hours. Very weird.
Wow has anyone found a solution for this Problem? I can go into recovery and flash roms with no problem but as soon as it boots to the home screen its just automatically shuts off. Only twice have I gotten it to actually stay on for an hour or so. Also while charging it flashes green then orange, I have two different batteries, any ideas?
Well mine is the same it started after a small six to eight inch drop on the floor and it randomly freezes and when i boot it up just goes into boot loader and after a while of it being off it will go into OS any ideas anybody I am thinking it has something to do with bad chip but what do i know lol tel me know if anybody finds anything out thanks in advance
I've begun encountering the same problem after flashing MIUI 2.3.30 ROM. And I've also noticed that my phone started to get hot. It never did this before. I know my battery is fine, I also re-calibrated my battery and everything. I am even also thinking that for some reason my phone is bricked. It holds charge for about 10 minutes before it dies, even on the new battery, which I have tested on another MT4G and works perfectly. The other phone is my nephews. I wonder if this has to do anything with the bad EMMC chip?
Any input for solving this will greatly help.

You might have already looked at this but have seen in some other roms I have been working with is to make sure to check the md5 sum before flashing just because it flashed doesent
mean it was right it takes is slight hickup in a download and a bit of garbage where it don't belong. Better to check it do the full wipes even a couple times or maybe even mounting and format the boot n system partitions so if on a particular rom ask in its section.
Hope that helps, wish ya well
I would agree with the above post making a clean wipe, and even the format does help. I have been trying out almost all of the newest ICS roms avaliable and I notice it helps when wiping everything/format system and boot. Even the newer ICS rom Awesomev2.1 suggest doing so for the system partition.
As others have stated, you might not have performed a FULL wipe.
Reflash, but do the wipe (I did also wipe battery stats..seemed to help in my case)
Random restarts and won't load
Had the same issue when I switched to Virtuous Unity... battery wouldn't hold a charge and would randomly restart.
After basically nuking my phone (full wipe, cache/battery wipes, etc.), as well as installing Creamed Glacier, the battery life is better but the random restarts are not. Plugging the phone in is the only way to keep it from restarting constantly, where it will load the T-Mobile splash screen but turn off either immediately after or as the home screen loads. But the battery is always at least 50% when I plug it in and it stays on. It also seems to take forever to recharge (plugged into laptop).
I want to think it's a battery issue, but the fact that it's not dead when I plug it in makes me think it's a hardware issue. I can't send it in to T-Mobile (shipping charges and time would be huge, as I'm in a foreign country and I rely on it so much for communication), and I'm loathe to buy a new phone.
Anyone have any ideas?

I really hate to be redundant, but you formatted /system and data? System gets missed a lot and you didn't specifically mention it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
I have had the same problem with ics zips 4.01 all of a sudden the phone stops responding to the power button and have to take out the battery and boot up the phone but as of yesterday with the 4.02 I have had the problem. I don't know if it due to the heat cause where I live it hot and its just the beginning of summer too?
I was running this custom rom beautifully fine for over a year now since I got my phone.
Recently I've had so many problems. My phone just randomly shutdowns down and it's very hard to get it to boot up again. If i hold down the power nothing happens or I just get 1 vibration. Taking the battery in and out doesn't do anything. I left it for 5 minutes out and put battery back in it just vibrates a little (samsung logo apepars for a second) and nothing happens, even when I hold power button. Can't get into download mode either.
I tried 2 different batteries too.
Really not sure what to do. I tried a factory reset a whilst back and i thought everything was okay but now it just won't even boot up.
Whenevr it does decide to turn on it just dies after a random period of time.

emm.. your description is confusing a bit... does your phone boots, or not?
If not, call the Samsung service centre (if I'm right, one is in Milton Keynes even, if not, there is another one in Derby).
If it does: try factory wipe and pure stock reflash.
Hello I am hoping someone can help me out, just recently my S5 developed a couple of faults. First it shut down on its own and would not get past the Samsung logo, while booting back up it would keep shutting down and restarting again. I put the phone in recovery mode, cleared the cache and did a full reset, this did not fix the problem. I then replaced the battery and things got a little better, the phone booted up and I thought it was fixed. The next day however, the screen started to jump especially whilst typing. This gradually got worse throughout day and the phone is pretty much unusable now. Also after the phone has been in standby, it will not wake up when I press the power button, and only the menu lights will light up, the only way to get it back on is to pull the battery out. The phone has stock firmware and I have tried to take some photos of the problem.
TIA
this could have just been bad luck but now it looks like im sending my phone back to huawei AGAIN.
Long story short, i JUST got the phone back from getting a battery replacement a week ago and every thing was great. Finally could go from 100%-0 with no issues. I was looking for a serial number on a router and with the flashlight turned on i went to take a picture. Screen froze and started to boot loop. I did manage to get back into TWRP after the first boot so i decided id wipe everything and restore my Rom seeing as i had just backed up yesterday and wouldn't miss much. It got me to the "please lock your bootloader bla bla bla" screen and went black. No google screen or anything. Now its just dead. plugged it into a charger. Nothing. Plugged it into the computer. Nothing. Hold down power for 20 seconds. Nothing. Hold volume down and power. Noooppee.
So yea, either im an idiot for trying to take a pic with the flashlight on or im having a bad run with this phone lately. Maybe both. idk. i love this phone but this is getting ridiculous.

I've taken pics with the flashlight on several times on mm and nougat. I've never had any issues from it. If you can still get into TWRP maybe try to load factory image. If you aren't even getting to to google splash screen it's almost like you don't have an os installed.
Nevermind. Just reread what you wrote and saw that it won't boot at all.

I'm having the battery drain issue with my 6P. Google said they will send an RMA even though I'm out of warranty. I've just got to tell them to send it. Haven't done it yet because I'm halfway scared of getting a device that has worse problems. At least now I know 15% battery actually means 0. Other than that it's in perfect condition. After your experience I may just keep my phone and try replacing the battery myself.
its funny because i bought directly from huawei in November of 2016 and before i sent it in it told me i was under warranty until Jan 26 2017. now i just checked and im under warrenty until 4-3-17. so maybe they dont even trust their own work and extended my warranty lol
if i didnt have a back up phone id be way more pissed off about this.

There is another thread where ppl are able to regain access the dead phone by holding the power button down for an extended time. Some say a minute and a half, others several minutes but their phones were coming back on and fully functioning afterwards. If you can get back into recovery why not try a factory reset before restoring your backup.

Some people have reported that plugging the phone into a wall outlet for an extended period of time (sometimes 24 hours or more) brings the red notification light back and then you can power on again
