So i went to charge my GS4 last night , when i woke up the phone was off, no sign of life ...
So i did all the normal stuff, take out battery etc, still nothing, just wont even show any sign of life , put it back on charge, came back 30 mins later and it was warm , but still nothing?!
any ideas?
It would be wise to take it to customer center before trying anything else...
I guess its still in warrenty period,
It seems, that u got a faulty device, they might replace it..

God damn.....................
so annoying!
Happened to me last saturday night, i left with 8% of charge then sunday it was completely drained, i dont think it is dead because everytime i pull off the battery and re-insert it, the phone boots up showing the galaxy logo but having no charge it switches off.
Already called the customer service but they're taking too long to start the returning process of the phone having it for only 3 days i think its still in warranty (7 day returning warranty). I'm thinking of bringing it to a repair centre but would costs me about 60euros. Is it worthy to wait? Or bring it at repaircentre?

I was running MIUI 1.7.1 (I think), my phone died and I wasn't home. When I got home a couple of hours later, I plugged my phone into the chargerr, plugged into my computer, and nothing. Nothing pops up, no sounds, just black screen. Anything I could do? I don't think I can send it back because my phone was rooted.
Depends on your ethics. If you can't get it to turn on then chances are neither will they. They'll just flash a fresh OS and send it with the other refurbs, so you'd probably get away with calling tmobile and telling them you were updating via kies and your phone never came back on. Otherwise search jtag and find connexion
try a different battery
U can send it back even do its rooted most like there gonna factory restore

This actually happened to me, but it was really the Kies Update to 2.2 that screwed my phone over. I sent it in and it came back in about a week and a half. Samsung just checked for water damage and ripped the motherboard out and replaced it. You get the same phone, with the same scratches and everything. The only upside is that they refurbish the inside of it (ie the GPS).
have u tried getting into download mode so u can odin to stock , take out the battery for a few seconds put it back in hold the volume buttons then plug ur phone in, if that works ur good to go
i think his battery is toast.
Samsung will take the phone under warranty even if a custom rom is flashed. I have sent 2 back for warranty repairs with custom roms, and both times the phones were fixed. Only downside is it takes 1-2 weeks.
Something similar happens to me. When my battery gets too hot it won't charge no matter what. Even if it's about to die. After it cools down it can charge again.

thats because it changes when it reaches 120 degrees your cpu will automatically lower if u use set cpu and ur phone will quit charging
So all this happened sometime during the night of 7/1 & morning of 7/2. I noticed when my alarm went off on my phone, my phone was EXTREMELY HOT. Very uncomfortable to the touch. However the battery was at 100%. Not really thinking anything of it, I used it as normal and when bedtime rolled around, I plugged it back in the stock cable & charger. No "beep" indicating it's charging. No change to the battery icon. I started troubleshooting and testing it with different cables/different charger combinations. My phone would not charge at all but everytime I connected a charger to it while it was turned on, it started getting very hot.
I eventually just turned the phone off and attempted to charge it again. When it's off, it won't charge (but won't overheat).
I did notice that when I used another charger (that had an LED indicator of when it was charging), it would completely go off when I plugged my GS4 to it.
I'e never used any other charger with my GS4.
Any ideas WTF is going on?

Can you give us any insight on the phone such as any custom flashes or possible root permissions to apps that might affect the battery?
Most likely than not the battery might be fault, I highly doubt it would be anything else unless it's flashes with a certain kernel or rom that might have a bug or two.

Oh. Sorry about that. This phone is as stock as it gets. Nothing custom about it.
I talked to AT&T Chat this morning and they said they think it's the battery. I've never really heard of a battery preventing a charge problem, but that's what they told me it was.
The crappy part is, they are sending me a battery first (and if that doesn't work), they told me to call them back to have the phone replaced. What's worse is if it isn't a battery problem, I'm out a phone for the entire weekend until Monday or Tuesday.

I think in most cases (i don't know AT&T) they send you a replacement and ask you to ship your phone into the box your new phone came in.
Either way I would think that it is the battery especially with your phone overheating while charging Of courses there are cases where the plug or cord is at fault so you might want to give those options a try as well.

I might want to try that option (get a new phone) despite them sending me a battery first. I'll call them back.
My phone has about 15% left (I turned it off after I realized I couldn't charge it for troubleshooting purposes). I notice now that the phone gets really warm (around the camera flash) when on. This is without it being plugged in and only turned on.
I've tried 2 other chargers (A Griffin and a Belkin that I use for my other phones for work) and none of them charge my GS4. When I plug it into my Motorola Droid Razr (work phone), it charges that just fine. This is really frustrating. Any other weekend would be fine, but it's the freaking 4th of July weekend and I won't have a phone for the entire holiday.
Thanks man, going to call AT&T to see if I can sweet talk the rep to just send me a new phone. The battery is scheduled to come Friday, so maybe they can ship the phone that quickly.

I'm not the biggest tech guy when it comes to phones but I think around the flash area is where the battery connectors are (where they make contact with the phone), so that might result in it getting warm. Although with you not charging it it can still be the battery being faulty.
I would call them back and try to exchange the full phone just to be on the safe side. I still think it is the battery but if your under warranty why let it go to waste?
This happened to me with an HTC Sensation back in 2011. They sent me another battery and it still did this. This could be a common defect among logic boards. Anyway, I get a warranty replacement right away. In your case, it won't matter what rom your using, it will always do this.

Thanks guys. I did what you said on Wednesday and AT&T is sending me another phone. Should arrive sometime today. My phone's been off for 3 days now. But with about 10% charge left, I'm curious about something.
Do you have suggestions on how I can make a backup/copy my settings from my old phone to the new one? Remember, my port isn't working. So not sure if this is even possible.

Best bet would prob be to see if you can get an app quick that backs up everything onto the SD card and swap the SD cards when the phone arrives. Or manually back up what you can to SD (pictures, songs etc) using apps like ES manager etc
PLEASE! Im experiencing same issue with my phone, any solution?
I purchased a defective sgh-i747m (Canadian version of the s4) and, when I connect the phone to as charger, the area where the charging cable connects to the motherboard gets extremely hot. When I try to boot the phone with a good battery, the Samsung logo appears, then the phone turns off. Can't seem to get the phone to charge the battery without getting really hot. Only solution I found was changing the motheboard.
i just got this problem today and a bad time because im leaving in a week, but i decide to leave with out a battery for a couple days see if that does anything
While charging my Nexus 7 I noticed that the battery was actually draining rather than charging. This is happened in the past as well where I would plug it in overnight and find it at 42%. My Nexus also dropped from 100% to 77% in less than an hour with no use at all.
Recently while charging I went into the bootloader to shut down the Nexus. Now I plug it in and the screen is blank. I have tied a rubber band around the power button so it is constantly being pressed.
Is this a battery issue that can be solved by simply ordering a battery on eBay and changing it? The past behavior of the tablet makes me think it's either a software or battery issue.
i have the exact same thing... n7 is dead as a brick... have tried everything... i also measured the battery and it's on 0.93 v so there is still juice inside...
can't figure why it doesn't work... if u find something plz let me know too
mine done the same thing . But it done so after leaving it for a few weeks not charging. I charged for like 30 minutes . turned it on . It started updating apps. then all at once screen went off. and that was it..
I had square trade warranty as my tab was bought back when 32 gb 2012 version came out. So i sent it in and they fixed it . I have no idea what they done but it has the same serial numbers mac address and so on. So i suspect it was just revived somehow.
I sent email asking exactly what was done to fix it with no reply back.
Don't have a warranty... it the 1st Gen n7 so I called Google and it doesn't have warranty

I'm way past warranty. I've had it a couple of years now.
I bought a battery off of eBay. I'm going to remove the back cover and replace the battery and hopefully that will fix the issue.
Will update with the results or lack of results.
well so the other day sat my phone to charge but in the middle of the night i woke because i touched it and it was crazyhot.
and then i tryed to turn it on i got a response just samsung galaxy s5 showed and then it died.
so i took the battery away and the cover and let it cool off by the window.
when i tryed it later i got absolutly no response, when i try to charge it it makes a crackling noise almost like when u are boiling water.
i think the battery is the problem but i will ask here first.
sorry for bad english im from norway,
cant really fix it at a shop since knox is tripped from root.
Try connecting to PC without battery
Try connecting to Charger without battery
Try new battery & charger

Hello,
I think your battery has been roasted. you need to buy a new battery from ebay or amazon or your local store. Also, did you put your phone on the bed or under the pillow? because if it is.. it will get hotter if you did lol. so make sure put your phone away about 2 feets while charging from your bed. or put on hard surface while charging. Good luck!
so i have a g900f s5 and i fully charged it overnight, phone still working, then i unplugged it and went out, went to unlock it about half an hour later and the screen wouldnt turn on, yanked the battery and tried to get into download mode and nothing, no led indication or vibration, i imagine its completely dead and nothing but a board replacement will fix it, would a usb jig work to fix it, i dont have one on hand but can get one made by a friend
has anyone else had this issue or am i left with a brick
any help is appreciated

Have you got a friend or person you know who has a S5?
The first thing I'd do is see if the battery is shot, which I think is more likely the case.
A similar thing happened to my 2 year old S4 (with a battery that wasn't in the recall batch) where the phone would just charge to 100%, died after a minute or two, than takes 2 hours just to go to the charging screen saying 0% charge.

nah the batterys fine my mother has an s5, albeit stock unrooted and all that jazz and it goes fine in her phone
she actually uses my battery as a spare
EDIT: when i plug it in i can see the led flickering red very faintly
it also heats up rather fast to temps that i would consider not safe for a phone
