Hello, maybe this was posted a lot of times, I just wanna get a second opinion before getting this to the shop. My phone (GT-i9500) suddenly went on to boot loop. I cannot enter download mode nor recovery mode. When attempting to put on download mode, when it tells me to press volume up, nothing happens and it restarts again. I was partially able to boot to recovery but it only showed the TWRP splash page then it reboots again. Does this mean that I have a broken motherboard? Any suggestions?

Hi
Seems like a hardware problem ( most likely ) power button defective or battery

I'm currently letting it run to drain the battery. Would it help?

Yes why not but if the battery is defective that will not fix it or help.
Did you try to go into recovery with the phone plug in to the charger? how it does behave?

Still the same. Sometimes it would show the battery icon but only for a split second.

It looks like is in constant reset.......seems like a defective power button, have it check should not be too expensive

Draining your battery is always bad. It will damage your battery.

Let us know how it goes
The exact same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. It happened exactly a year after I got my GT-I9500. Around midnight one weekend the phone had quite a bit of charge and was working fine. As I unlocked the screen to check a WhatsApp message, the phone suddenly shut down and entered a bootloop with the same symptoms as yours. I couldn't enter my stock recovery and download mode would only come up for a few seconds and it would re-enter the bootloop. I tried numerous battery pulls and made it loop over quite a bit and then gave up after an hour and left the battery out. Throughout the day I occasionally tried my luck to no avail. Maybe after 48 hours or less - a day without trying my luck included - since the initial incident, I carried it to the shop and as the employee put the battery in the phone I was baffled. The phone booted normally, no issues and has worked perfectly fine since then. She said sometimes our phones need a little rest.
I've also read that our model has had some battery problems like swelling. I noticed no swelling by the way. So my advice, leave the battery out for a day or two. My phone was not rooted at the time and was running stock TouchWiz Android 4.4.2. Good luck!

So I finally got it repaired, the guy replaced something, about the size of 2x1 mm. He said it was for the power button. He charged me around $10 which I think is not bad.

Hi Mate,
Great to know , glad it was something cheap and easy.
Hi, my Galaxy S4 suddenly died out while I was using it halfway. It was still charging (actually 100% already). The phone blackout and I couldnt turn it on.
Here's what I tried:
1) pull out battery and wait for a while then put it back and power on
Result: nothing happens
2) same as 1) but with another spare battery
Result: nothing happens
3) let it charge (to power socket) and waited for about 15 mins
Results: the top side of the phone was warm (beside the microSD slot) and I still cannot power on.
Is this phone useless already?

Hi mate
Sorry to hear what happen .
Question after you switched to phone on and waited maybe 1-2 min did you try to connect it to the pc, see if the system is alive if you have access to your files.....if so the phone is ok..but maybe the screen is dead or something is loose inside.

I didn't hear any sound or vibration when I switch it on. I have not try connecting to PC but even if I could, the phone has password lock so I still cannot access unless I unlock the phone

The idea is to find out if the problem is the phone or the display , if the pc recognices the phone it means that the phone works...no real need to acces your files
If it does not then your problem is in the electronics and not in the display......just an idea

mate ,
it looks like a hardware problem take it toSamsung if in warranty still or to a local service center...
I had a similar problem in the past and it ended up being my power button was malfunctioning. It was apparently just stuck in an off/on loop but not showing anything on screen....
Look like mainboard short circuit since top side of the phone got warm and also I assumed from op that display never show anything again.

Is there hope of getting back all the data if it can be repaired? Around how much will it cost? My warranty finished about a month ago

If this case, it would be switching off and on all the time? At least showing something on the screen?

hi
as i said before ...take it to a local service center, could be samsung or a local repair shop
Yesterday, my screen turn off, or so i thought, there was a horizontal line on the top of the screen, and i saw it was the same color as the screen i was on. I immediately took off the battery and for a split second it worked before turning off. So i thought it was a low voltage problem, and let it charge overnight, and today it worked for 2 hours until it failed again. So.. if anyone knows how to repair this without replacing the entire screen, please let me know. i already checked if it was the conector, and it seems it isn't
If the screen itself is the problem then there is no way to fix it without replacing.

the thing is that when i take out the battery, it works before turning of
Hi,
It appears to me that it's some kind of problem with the screen as well, it doesn't seem to be changing the leds of the previous screen until it is out of power to keep them turned on. Unfortunately I'd guess the only solution is replacing screen.
All the best,

You might try changing the software, but it might be hard to do if the screen doesn't display anything in recovery or download mode.

nope, it doesn't, i was hoping it was a software issue, but i noticed that it didn't display anything in recovery or download, so i opened the phone and checked if the display connector wasn't passed correctly or something, but to my surprise it was correctly connected, i went and disconnected and reconnected the pin, but it didn't helped at all
Hi,
I just got my Galaxy S8, i've noticed some screen issue, especially in dark places or at night. The screen is showing weird color on the top. Check the pictures attached and let me know what do you think.
To check if you have the same issue with your phone, you need to increase the brightness to the max, turn of auto adjust brightness, and check your phone in a dark place
Erm
Just do a screen print and attach it.
takes few seconds on mobile to do.
dial *#0*# and do color tests, if it fails I would return it.
How can i show u the picture?
Hi
Green spot at top of screen
could he be referring to the iris scanner ?
Trev

Upload the picture to a image hosting site and put the link in your post.

Same issue as the pic ? and can you tell me the source of the manufacture?
I had these for like 2 seconds when I just started setting up my phone, then I never saw it again.
So it might be a software image processing glitch.
Tried a factory reset / changing the color mode?

Dude, it seems more or less battery port/connections are loose. I don't think it has something to do with s/w. Open back lid and check if the battery is moving/wobbling.. I guess if you fix that you issue is fixed.
I'm having a different problem. External earphone not detected unless I press the jack slightly to the back.
I'm using Bluetooth earphone instead.

Hey, you do not know about the phone. The battery is internal. So it is not removal. You can see videos about nokia 6 opening in youtube.
Happen once to my N6 about two weeks ago, press all three buttons together to force shutdown and restart phone. Since then everything is fine.
im also nokia 6 sufferer

Don't you have any warranty on the phone? Just contact support and ask for a repair.
I purchased Nokia 6 one month before. Now Apps are not responding. I tried to restart it now its not turning on. Android and Nokia logo is coming again and again on screen but not turning on. I also did hard reset but still same problem. kindly help

why this happens to nokia 6. i tried to start usually by pressing power button but no reaction after reading this msg only i tried pressing 3 buttons it came back alive:laugh: . my doubt is is this a big problem and will it happen again:crying:
Nokia 6 Frozen
I am also having a similar problem. The screen freezes, no buttons work. This issue has come 2 times over the last 20 days. Both times i was using the google navigator /maps and was shifting between applications --> and suddenly frozen. Since Nokia 6 does not have a removable battery , I had wait it out for another 5-6 hrs till battery drained completely and I recharged it. But during travel in unknown area when your phone abandons you, you feel handicapped.
Thank You
