Hey , I have a rooted Zuk Z1 for almost 2 months now, this week he began doing weird stuff like:
- charging really slow with no led light on when charging, if the phone is turned off then it just moves between showing battery to zuk logo with a few seconds in between. if connecting the cable to a computer it wont have that problem.
-Another thing that was earlier but doesn't occur now for some reason is the phone turning on when i plugged it in, when this was happening another thing that happened was that sometimes the phone just booted up and was fine for a few seconds to a few minutes and then just rebooted for no reason and this kept going unless i'd force shut it regular didn't work.
What do you recommend me to do?
Thanks.
Do you have some 'crazy' apps installed? Then uninstall and check again... If that doesn't work, flash the phone to stock...

About 20 minutes ago my phone recently shut down, and repeatedly starts up for 2 seconds (to the sgh-t959d screen) then shuts down again and does it immediately after. I've taken the battery out, i've plugged it into the computer but the computer doesn't seem to recognize it and the screen goes to the charging battery for 2 seconds then shuts off and does it again repeatedly. I'm currently running a 2.2 froyo firmware, the phone is about 2 months old and this happened out of nowhere I haven't downloaded any apps or anything onto the phone recently, it seems about 70% charged and I do not know what to do, if anyone has any advice for me please reply and help. This phone is not rooted and is 100% stock I have done nothing to it.
I've also tried going into download mode but it goes onto it for a second then restarts the phone.

How are you running 2.2 if the phone is unrooted/stock? Did you mean 2.1?
Can you plug it into a wall without the battery in and boot it?
Perhaps a hardware issue?
EDIT: just noticed the phone wont boot without a battery in. Maybe your battery **** the bed? Do you have a verizon store nearby? I would stop in and have them put in a spare battery quick to see if that solves the problem..
Well not completely stock, it's unrooted though.
No I can't run the phone without the battery by plugging it in.
bumping this thread
Sounds like you dont have a fascinate, you should mention that... have you tried download mode? Pull batt, hold vol down, plug in usb
Sent from my stock 2.1
unrooted, fully bloated (for now) Fascinate
When I turn off the phone, it vibrates to let me know it is off, and then it waits two seconds or so then turns itself back on.
I have done hard reset after hard reset, put the latest KE8 on and it still does it. Could it be a battery fault?
Do you have Advanced Power Menu installed?
Nope. It is now not letting me switch it on unless plugged into the charger.
If I switch it on away from the charger, it shows me a battery on the screen with a flickering yellow warning triangle with a thermometer next to it.
Any thoughts?
sorry to hear that!
i've had this problem about one or two months ago, after i flashed a new rom (can'r remember which one, was it lightning?). did almost everything i could
imagine (flashed other recovery, kernel, modem) and nothing helped. also a
complete fresh install (wipe everything before) didn't solve this!
the only thing which worked for me was to go back to my old rom. after that
everything was fine again!
so, i cannot say what causes this, but if you flash another rom it should work again! if not, try to repartition with odin, using one of the provided PIT files!
yep also had this problem when i first flashed cognition. my phone would reboot after turning it off. and if the battery went dead, when i plugged it into charge it would turn itself on instead of going to the battery charging screen. all i did was reflash the rom and all was fine.
This morning I updated to Android 2.3.4.
If I root like this:
http://androidflip.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s2-android-234-xxkg1-firmware/
Will it help do you think?
Just to update, it seems to be resolved now using this:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-xxkg1-android-2-3-4-firmware-rom-on-galaxy-s2/
Thanks for your help guys!
And now its doing it again lol
I can live with it, but a couple of things like it thinking there is a USB cable connected seem to happen every now and again...?
hmm thats the same way as i did it but i didnt do the yellow triangle trick so im not sure about that. everything else is standard, thats how i flashed my rom and i only had your problem the first time i flashed. did you do the yellow triangle removal?
I did the remove triangle thing yea.
I do think it is a problem with the USB connector, it could be touching itself inside, possibly causing a shortage as it occasionally thinks a USB cable is connected.
So, if I turn off, it could be thinking that the charger has initiated connection and starts up to charge, but can't charge so just continues to boot.
I have plugged the usb cable in and with nothing at the other end, and nothing pops up. So it could be something like what I suggest. It has been ok for an hour or so now so fingers crossed lol!
lol that cud be it then. it wud make sence. might wanna get that looked at tho if you dont wanna risk damaging the phone. if its doing what you said, then it cud end up killing the phone if it shorts it out permantly. let me know how its going in a day or so.
Even on lock screen if you press and hold the power button for 8 seconds the phone does shut off, is it happening for ya?
I had this a few weeks back. Reflashing cf root kernel fixed mine.

Likewise, solved my problems with the phone rebooting itself instead of turning off.
Ok this will be a bit lengthy but please bare with me and read...
Ive been running Darkyy 10.1 EE for months now and every has been fine.
Easily a couple of days battery, no force close issues of any sorts... Everything has been perfect.
Then the other day i noticed my battery started dropping fast. NO THIS IS NOT A BATTERY DRAIN THREAD SO PLEASE READ ON.
I took my phone off charge the other night within seconds of hearing the beep for battery full and the fully charged icon in the top right of the bar stayed there for a few seconds ( like maybe 10 ) and then the battery level dropped to 80%.
I thought hhmmm thats not right but left it and went to bed.
6 hours later i woke up to 31% battery.
I thought something must be running killing my battery so i did a reboot...
Now this is where it gets weird. Read on my friends...
after i rebooted the phone it kept rebooting itself every 2 minutes or so.
I pulled the battery of for 30 minutes and put it back but i had the same problem.
When i got home i did a factory rest and wipe cache partition and decided to flash Darkyy 10.2...
I had the same problems as above only now when my phone rebooted the battery lvl would drop by 20% then next time raise by 5% etc etc
NOW THIS BIT IS SCARY BUT READ ON!!!
I decided to flash back to froyo with ezbase using repartition to see if that would help.
I plugged my phone into the computer and nothing happened!!!! My computer wouldnt recognise my phone at all neither would my phone start charging whilst plugged into the computer.
I managed to get my computer to see my phone by booting into recovery and and then download mode and flashed ezbase.
Again same problems. So i thought OK this might be an insurance job so i flashed it back to stock JPY from samfirmware.com. I plugged it back into my computer and my PC says "the USB device you have connected has malfunctioned and windows cannot recognise..."
I have had my phone unplugged over night but the icon on the bar is still there showing USB connected, and in the pull down shade there is still the option to connect USB to copy files.
I have plugged it in this morning and it started charging but windows didnt even recognise that there was anything attached at all! No beep no fault deviced attached message... Nothing!
Oh i would also like to mention that when i flashed ezbase and tryied to do a reboot i would get the battery icon for a second like if you charged while the phone was off and then it would power down again... The only way i could get the phone to boot back up was to flash EZbase again with auto reboot ticked!
Yes that was very long sorry and thankyou to those who took the time to read it.
If anyone has any thoughts on why this would have happened please post.
Do you think this is something caused by the custom rom or is this a hardware issue completely out of my hands?
Thank you again for reading!
Have you tried another battery?
Sent using geek power
First, I would try to check if its a hardware problem.
For that burn a stock rom and see how it is doing. If its working fine with stock, without any problem, then obviously its ROM issue.
Else if the stock also gives you the same problem, then I would say its a hardware problem.

I dont think its a battery issue because the battery wouldnt prevent the computer from seeing the device would it?

Im running stock JPY right now and have the same problem
Could it be a damaged usb port, so that it doesn't always charge properly, and doesn't always detect the phone correctly when connected to the computer? That might explain the problems... Especially if that port is getting worse all the time.
Can you get it to detect on the computer if you wiggle the usb plug to the phone? Have you tried a replacement usb lead?
It does sound weird. Hope you manage to sort it out.

Garbled meaning induced by swype!
don wadte time if ur phone dosnt work on stock then its the port tht got damaged and the hardware,,,,something wrong .....better go to a service center..don expirement ,cause it might damage it more
I have just dropped it off at the shop i bought it from and they are sending it away for repair.
2 weeks of nokia 3210 magic for me!
Thanks for replies guys.
Hi there,
My Note 4 started playing up 3 weeks ago, it started to lag, freeze and reboot. I managed to bring it back to function as my daily driver (handy as I didn't have another phone!) with the Wake Lock app. Sometimes when I'd try to boot it up, it would be glitchy and it would take a while to fire up again, most often I'd have to boot into TWRP and wipe the cache, but then it would be fine. The wake lock app was set to auto run and all was good, apart from a major hit in battery life.
Today I started to set up my replacement N910F (bought used). It too was running stock MM, I'd rooted this one too and installed xposed. All was going well until I went to remove the sd card from the first phone. When I went to reboot.....nothing.
I tried to remove the battery and hold down the power button and then try again. Nothing. Tried holding down the power button for a few minutes with the battery removed and then trying again. Nothing. I even tried holding it down for a couple of minutes, putting the battery in for 10 mins and then trying to power it up. Nothing.
It doesn't show up on my PC or with Odin. Nothing happens when I plug it into the charger. I've tried 3 different batteries. All with the same end result. Nothing. :crying:
Is there ANYTHING I can do?

Could be battery is dead or your device is hard bricked.
You might wanna see link below to unbrick method

It's not the battery as I've tried the 3 that were working with the phone originally, and I've just tried the one form the "new" phone.
After looking through the link, that doesn't look like an option - the phone needs to be detected by the pc. Mine was connecting fine earlier, so I know it's not a lack of drivers. I makes a noise when plugged in, but then isn't shown.

It should be detected in device manager under ports section.
If the pc makes a sound when the device is connected, that means the device is fine. You can try the debrick method given on my thread.
Try it and report.

Don't ask me how but.....it suddenly came to life this morning! I put a battery in it and tried to go into recovery, and voila! No rhymne nor reason to it but she's up and running for the mo!
Thanks for the suggestion yashthemw but thankfully I've not had to try it!
my S7edge, with Stock ROM, never flashed or hacked it.
was working perfectly fine.
Last software update package was a week or 2 ago.
Today, the phone suddenly froze while I'm using it, then restarted and kept rebooting automatically in an endless loop.
I tried to force it to go to recovery mood... it would go to a blue screen saying : "Installing updates" and nothing happens.
kept rebooting into safe mode or recovery/download mode until it suddenly just went totally off.
The charger wires were a bit cut lately, so it would give a broken charging lately, not sure if that caused any kind of problems to the battery or mother board.
Since then, I am not able to turn it on again in any mode.
It also doesn't show any indications when a charger is connected.
So right now it is just dead with no signs at all. non responsive to any force power ON nor to charging.
I left it for more than 5 hours now without charging, nothing changed.
Update:
So I left it overnight. In the morning, I connected the charger and indeed it drained to 0% and started being responsive to charging again.
As soon as it charged to 20% I powered it on. It loaded into recovery, giving the no command screen. Then I went on and selected system reboot.
Then it rebooted and Android started, as soon as I tried unlocking it, it froze and started again into an endless rebooting loop until it blacked out again. Now again not responsive.
I will leave it to drain again. Does anyone know what I shall do when it gets to that endless rebooting sequence. It is obvious that Android had a malfunction... not sure what as I didn't do anything new last week..
Is there a way to get it through without factory reset?
Thanks

Bro flash latest stock rom
Solved !
It was already on stock ROM.
After lots of troubleshooting, rebooting in safe mode without the SD card worked fine. I then rebooted in Recovery mode, wiped the cashe, rebooted again normally with no SD card. Then inserted the SD card after.... got a message that SD card is not supported (seems it got corrupted somehow).
Anyways, now it's fine... let's see for how long...
