I got a huge problem! - GT540 Optimus General

Hello guys!
I'm an Ace user but one of my friend got a big problem with his an LG GT540. Once his phone chrarged down he couldn't ever Power on again.
Now, the phone is at me. If i plug USB cable or my samsung baterry charger to the phone, it works like a good phone but after 10-15sec screen goes to black and cant make it light again. (No anwser for buttons)
BUT if i plug out and plug in again the screen get light and works for 10-15sec again.
I couldnt get to Recovery Mode/ or make a Hard Reset. ( I cannot turn on the phone with the POWER button, so USB cable or battery charger the only way)
+ battery is fully charged.
Need help! Thanks in advance!
(sorry for my bad english)

Mods can close this im going to make a new topic.

NAND Phone-Off Charge Issue - *WORKAROUND*

I've been having this problem since the first installation of MAGLDR; The "Orange LED" bug, as most of us know, prevents the phone from charging while the phone is off, and the LED remains orange even AFTER the phone is unplugged. I've found a few circumstances where this will occur:
1. Powering down the phone with USB plugged in causes this issue with most builds
2. Same as #1 but when doing a reboot
3. Phone dies, then plugging USB will bring about the "orange LED" bug
I've found a workaround for these as I'm sure MANY of you have already, but I wanted to post a thread just for people who haven't found an answer yet. The following list corresponds to the items above:
1. Unplug USB before selecting "Power off" on your device
2. " " " " "
3. Kinda tricky.. a) if phone is COMPLETELY dead, pull the battery, plug USB, THEN replace battery, and b) If phone has battery and is OFF, power on phone, wait until "GO! GO! GO!" screen disappears, and then plug in USB.
I think the problem comes about when finishing the installation of your ROM via MAGLDR, OR it could be a bug within MAGLDR itself. It could quite possibly be the kernels, as JDMS' UltimateDroid ROM did NOT cause the orange LED when a REBOOT was performed...
Well either way, I hope this helps some people avoid this problem and gives the dev's something to work on.. Not that their work goes unappreciated
Or do like me. Leave the phone on, put it in flightmode and charge it.

How would this help if phone is completely dead? Seriously, this could be useful. Can someone try this and confirm?

I'm afraid to answer here as the OP might get upset, or tell me to start my own new thread.
Anyway. As I like to help people I will answer your question.
I bought a new battery for my HD2, and it did not have enought power to power on the phone (running NAND).
Not sure if this fixed the charging problem, but I removed the battery for +/- 30 seconds, reinserted the "dead" battery, plugged in the charger.
After some time (seconds) the orange battery came on, and the battery was beeing charged.
I left the phone charging for some time (expecting the light to go green when done), but it never did (NANDproblem?)
So after 1/2 day of charging, I disconnected the charger, and guess what.. the oragne light was still on.
Again I removed the battery, reinserted it again, and powerd on the phone.
The battery was fully charged, and I'm now enjoying 2 to 3 days of phone use before needing to charge it again.
Now.. I'm not 100% sure about 1st connecting the charger, and reinsering the battery, or 1st reinsering the battery and than connecting it to the charger.
I'm having charging issues but in a different way.
when i plug the charger to the phone while the screen is off, the LED does not light until I i press the red button (actually any button) to wake up the screen.
Is anybody having a similar issue?

This is not a problem for me too. The real problem is with whatsapp
when ever someone sends me a message on whatsapp while the screen is off, i dont receive it until i press the power button to unlock the screen. So i thought this might have anything to do with the charge issue.
I have no problem with this bug,he it is on the charger,so why turn it off is my question.....i just turn the sound off lol.

exactly, and after that if phone doesn't vibrate/do nothing, then there is something with power.
also, after that , and if it fails, remove usb cable, plug battery back in and try to charge it again.
and if, it still doesn't do nothing, try another usb cable and battery.
(as normally, when you plug in usb , it shoult vibrate and start up , and/or if not, then wait some time and try to power it on.)
but if you have done all that and there is nothing, then there is someting with your phone (usb socket ?!? )

Help please, GT-I9505 wont boot!!!

Hi everyone, I have a big problem and I dont know how to fix it
A couple of weeks ago I installed via Odin the Test Firmware 4.3 for my GT-I9505 and it worked fine so far.
Today I rebooted my phone normaly and for my surprise it wont boot..
It vibrates when I press power button but nothing happens, screen keeps black with no image at all.
Dont let me enter download mode or recovery mode.
I already tried to pull the battery off for 10 minutos and put it back in and nothing happens. just vibrates.
The LED turns RED if I plug the phone to the charger but still no charging image or anything
I dont have any custom recovery or anything.
Can someone please help me?
PS: sorry for my bad english
Suggest obtaining a new battery. Look at your battery has it grown in size? Try turning it on with the charger plugged in.

Hi, thank you for your reply, the battery looks perfectly fine in size and shape, and i had 80% charged before this happened.
When I plug the charger and try to power it on, it vibrates as usual but still no imagem at all and after a few seconds vibrates again, the RED LED lights ON and after a while it turns green that I beleive its because its full charged. I really dont know what to do

What I would do is go to either ebay or some online merchant and purchase
a "USB JIG", they usually cost less than $3-4 bucks including shipping.
Once you have one all you do is put the battery in the phone and
plug the USB JIG into the usb port of the phone and wait 5 secs.
Then you will see the "download mode" and you will be able to odin flash the stock rom..
The jig don't work 100% of the time, it all depends on why your phone failed but it does
work over 90% of the time unless your phone get messed up in such a way that it's bricked.
Good luck!
Remember it's faster to click the "THANKS" button than it takes to type "thank you".
Hello again I dont know why but when I went to sleep I left the battery out of the phone for the entire night. When I woke up I inserted it on the phone and it turned ON normaly Im sending this reply from my phone lol. I dont know what happened I didnt do anything. Thank you for your help anyway

i have the exact same problem!!! It just started yesterday.
Do you use the original charger?
If you use a other charger with less power, the phone will not charge!
You need a 2Ah Charger.

Yes i understand, but i use the one that came with the telephone. Its the original samsung USB Cable 3.0 + the Charger.
I tried with the Charger from a Galaxy Note 2 ( usb 2.0) it still doesnt work.
It's a hardware problem.

As said is hardware issue. If your Note 3 is under warranty use it, because they will fix it. If not, go to a phone repair center and they should be able to fix it as well.
It might be the microusb from the phone, a friend of mine had something similar with his s2.Good luck!

Back up your data with your backup app of choice (Helium, Titanium Backup). Throw your backup file into dropbox.
Your photos should be backed up in drop box so don't bother.
Contacts are in your Google account don't bother with that either.
So I think it's just Music and movies if you're not using Play Music.
I would use sd card for back up, that's one of the reasons it's there. I backed up contacts on my old phone to Google and then for some reason couldn't recover it on new phone, maybe I did something wrong, but had no problem loading them them up from sd card. If you really hate to send it back (I would) you could open the back (search youtube, there are few videos how to), I think it's 8 screws and check if the charging board connector is loose. I wouldn't go much past that and would make sure there are no temper proof seals to disturb.
Hello how you solved this problem? I discover exact the same problem with charging on my n9005 today.
Pretty sure this is related to the software on this, not the hardware, unless they are all broken. I have recently sent mine in for the same reason, got new note 3 had it for a week now. But before sending it in i got a new battery, new cables, nfc charger and a cradle, to rule out all the chargers as a possibility. After getting the new one it worked fine until I updated after all updates came down now it wont charge again. I found that If I remove the battery and put it back in it will start charging from time to time but currently its off and charging sort of, Keeps starting to charge for about 5 min and then stops for about 10, and keeps this cycle. If anyone else has a new one and still getting this after Updates please let me know.

Problem fixed!
I had the same EXACT problem for a couple weeks. It clearly isn't a hardware issue if the battery actually is charging when off (FYI to anyone who needs a refresher on how technology works). Clearing the system cache took 30 seconds and worked! Here is how to do it:
Turn off the Galaxy Note 3.
Press and hold Volume UP + Home + Power buttons.
When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
In the recovery menu, navigate to ‘’wipe cache partition’’ with the volume buttons.
Press power button to confirm.
Once this is done, select reboot system now.
Requesting your help!!!! pls... Super urgent

So after a lot of reading online and understanding logically that if the hardware is screwed then the phone will not charge in the first place, I followed your steps and wiped my cache. I was literally keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the end of my long haul with this problem. However, the phone did not start charging after that and the problem still persists. I strongly believe that this is a software related problem as the phone functions fine and the battery life is also as it was before. Given this, I kindly request you to tell me if there are any other solutions or ways through which I can fix this issue? Your response is most appreciated and urgent.. HELP!!

Ok, wiping the system cache worked for about 2 hours. I was a little too excited. I just replaced the charging port and so far, so good. Make sure to buy the proper charging port; each one is different per carrier (e.g., mine is a SM-N900V for Verizon, SM-N900T for T-Mobile, etc.). The charge port was $11. You can find all carriers, except Verizon, on Amazon. I googled Note 3 replacement parts and picked the most legit looking website to order mine. Good luck.
did any one found out any solution for this
