After i disconect the charger red led still on! - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I always charge my cellphones turned off. So im doing the same thing with my s4 i have it for almost a month. This problem occured only 2 times after the new OTA firmware MEA update. I didnt root the phone or did anything its completly stock. So when im charging the phone the red led is on and if u press the home button it shows the battery animation and some loading dots etc etc and after few secs fades and the red led glows again. Dunno what happened today but while on charge the red led was glowing i pressed the home button and the battery didnt appear like it wasnt responding at all, i disconected the charger but the red led was still on and after a longer hold on the power button than normal dunno like 6-7 secs maybe, the phone booted and everything was normal. What can cause this thing im worried this is the second time this happens and its random it occurs on random charges it occured only 2 times till now.
Sorry for my bad english i hope you can help me out :/

Something similar Happened to my S2 years ago. Your USB port might be either dirty or damaged unfortunatey.

Ran into Serious problem, please help

Last night my x1 was fine, before I went to bed, I turn the whole thing off and charge it with the charger. This morning I can't boot up the device at all. Tried remove the battery and put it back still no go.
I notice one thing if I have the charger still connecting to the phone and when I press the power button on the upper right, i see 3 red blinks from the side panel, but again, phone won't power up. What does the red blink means?
I have this phone only 4 days. Should I send it back to manufacture?
you can try to hardreset it
the manual should state how cant renember
somewhere under the batt pressing something
I had the same problem - occasional three red lights flash, occasional red light under power button. I solved the problem by using the search

Never fear all is ok
Perhaps this should be added to the wiki in the trouble shooting section - seems a few people have had this issue?

[Q] Is my phone bricked or is it a simple battery issue?

Ok so yesterday I had my nexus 4 in the charger at 46 percent and i was about to send a tweet when the screen froze. thinking it was a simple crash i pressed the home button and no visual response then it powered off. now whenever i try to power it on nothing happens. i tried pressing the power and volume buttons. whenever i try to turn it on and i plug it in the red light flashes. sometimes it flashes continiously sometimes it is a solid color. so what can i do it wont communicate with the computer. im not sure what the issue is. is it a battery issue or is it impossibly bricked. i already charged it overnight to no avail.
oh and im running stock cm11 with the stock cm kernel. i just installed it the night before.
im planning on just openning it and unplugging and plugging the battery back in. will this work?
Try power button + volume down for 10 seconds and than plug in the power cable. You somehow must try to boot into bootloader.

How many times did you try that? It may don't work in the first time.
But if you can screw off you phone, that I would suggest to look after the batterie :good:

It is hard to say, because there are so many reason why your device doesn't boot only left the red LED flashing. One reason could be your batterie which is bricked. Another reason could be a thermal shutdown cause by overheat. And of course there are those little, little software issues that only appear once in five years...

How to turn on wileyfox storm after battery fully drained.

Hello to all experts.
1- Accidently my wileyfox storm battery was fully drained at night and i was not at home during that time.
I connected mobile to wall outlet it was showing red colour on home button when connected (as a battery charging indication) but after near about 8 hours i tried to turn it on but no luck. I pressed power button for many seconds, many times but no luck.
Now what should I do to turn on my wileyfox storm.
2- My second question is how to open back cover of my wileyfox storm. i did not find any notch or point to open back cover to see inside.
Thanks in advance.
Plug your phone on charge but not in usb, and wait about 20mn
I am having this problem as well right now, how did you fix it?
I too have the same problem , it was off because drain , but then put in office is no longer lights . the light is always red . what can I do?
Leave it charging for a while from the mains. Red light means charging on low charge, the screen doesn't turn on until it has some charge.
it is normal to be in power for eight hours, and nothing has changed ? Red light always on and off screen

I am no expert, but I've had the same problem after fully running the phone battery down. While looking for an answer I managed resolve the issue by to hold the power down and down array while the phone in chagrining for around 2 minutes and the phone started up, almost by complete accident.

I had the same issue you are having, battery ran down to empty, charge light would always be red no matter how long it was plugged in, slow charge, fast charge, holding down the power button, even with the inclusion of the vol down, nothing worked.
I fixed it by opening up the phone and disconnecting then reconnecting the the battery. After doing so the phone started to properly charge (phone booted up and displayed the battery animation). Everything now operates as normal, though I won't be letting it drain to 0% again, that's for sure.
If you're able to, give it a shot and hopefully it will do the trick for you as well (though I'm probably way to late).
Hello to all
I again have the same problem, the battery of my storm has fully discharged, but although is it charging for many hours the LED light is always red and the phone will not turn on. This time even while holding together power button and volume less nothing is happening.
Can anyone help me and tell me how I can fix ?
Level1imp how did you open the phone to disconnect the battery ?

After I read your message here, I've tried and finally I solved this problem in my phone.
I was getting crazy because there isn't place to fix this phone in my country and the company Wileyfox wanted me to send my phone to someone in europe to them send to Wilefox to fix it. I've spoke with the company today to see what could they do for me and the solution they gave to me was this and to I try to open the back by myself. But this last solution it isn't a solution because would make me loose the garantee. Why the technician didn't told me about this solution? I'm so disappointed with them.
hi i have a wileyfox storm it is not going on when i press power button .now i connect with wall charger so it show a red circle on the bottom and phone show logo on and of .how can i put it on
This works!!
For anyone who needs it, this also works on wileyfox swift 2
Had this too, but solved
Just had this problem occur on my Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus. Completely drained, left on charge for 4h but it got 0% charged in that time.
For me, hooking it up to a slightly stronger power source (5V 2.1A) USB port of my power bank,
in combination with Power + Volume UP
Got me to a boot screen I'd never seen before.
Hit Fast Boot, it looked like it just turned off again but a few seconds later I saw the normal boot screen pop up

S7 Edge 935FD - LED Light only HELP PLEASE

Hi All,
I haven't made any changes recently. And all has been fine. After I woke up this morning, I went to check the screen and nothing was responding.
I have had this happen in the past and I just press power and volume down button (I even tried holding it over 1 minute now)
The strangest part is, there is a blue led flashing every 5 seconds (top left) I have tried every combination, I can't get it to do anything!!! I wish i could just pull out the battery. The LED light is teasing me can someone please help. I bought this as an international model and am in Australia, so there's no warranty!
Just an update, it came back to life RANDOMLY after 3 hours? i restarted it to make sure and it was all good.
After using it, I was on a whatsapp call and it suddenly crashed again. I thought the person I was talking to went quiet, i went to turn on screen and now it's just a red LED and I can't do anything (It was charging at the time and had red LED, so i assumed it was okay...)
Quite annoying! Please helpp

Won't switch on, or off...

Hi all. my Samsung S7 Edge was working fine albeit a bit sluggish at times but it was okay. I was down to 14% charge and so connected it to its Samsung charger with a non stock cable which is its usual charging process. It was otherwise okay and the screen went off so it was completely black, the red charging LED came on and I left it like that for a little while. It is still in that precise state and no sequence of button pressing for any amount of time gets any response at all. Nothing, no vibrate, no charging indicator, no flicker - absolutely nothing changing. Red LED and blank screen, no response. I would like to discharge the battery asap and have clamped the Vol- and on/off button pressed for 20 minutes and it is not connected to anything. It is not rooted and there is no response if I connect it to a computer. Is it bricked? How can a phone 'brick' while working as it should?
So I removed the back, disconnected the battery for a minute or so and reconnected it. The red light had gone off and now nothing, no light at all and it is connected to the charger with the Samsung cable. I have tried a different charger - my laptop. I happen to have an unused battery I was going to replace this one with so I have now also tried another battery. The phone is just dead and no response at all so I guess there is only one option - bin it!
Well I happened to have a smashed S7 Edge so a working motherboard which I replaced and obviously cured it. Restoring as much as I can remember but can anyone still suggest anything I can do that may kick start this motherboard?
The same happened with my S7 Edge, yesterday. Just a blinking blue led and I couldn't turn it on. So I waited till the battery was empty and tried to recharge it. No red led no button combos are working, nothing. The phone is dead.
Was there an update?
