HELP RECOVER My Phone ! Phone not turning ON! - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Replaced my battery, after turning it on, there is no display. If I keep pressing the power button its vibrating. Is this a hard brick ? Any way to recover ?

Looks like a Hardware problem, i don't think we can help you with this.
Check all the flat cables connections again.

do u have a sim pin to unlock?if no,can u call it and see if it rings?

Open it once and re-check if all the connections are in place. Then you should be good to go.
Is your phone rooted? If so, Do you have TWRP?
Else, try holding, vol down button and power button for about 10 secs, to get into hard reset mode. Follow the menus there using vol buttons, and select using power button. do a factory reset from this menu. SHould be fine.
Psst: take some help of youtube moto x play disassembly and reassembly vdos.

Hi.. its sorted. Had to change display. IC stopped working.

IC damage was this because of battery change!?!?
HOw much did the display cost you? Is it the original Moto display or ...?

Power button not working

Hi guys.
My Galaxy Note 3 power button has just completely stopped working. Is there a setting that turns off the power button functionality that I might have accidentally pressed?
Cheers.
Edit: I should elaborate here. The phone is switched on, everything works as normal but no matter how many times I try it, the power button just not do anything (holding it down, pressing different areas)

Did you try a battery reset? With the phone off, can you get into either Download or Recovery mode? That would eliminate the possibility of an OS issue.

I kind of scared to turn the thing off in case I can't switch it back on. I'll try it though.
Edit: It's dead. Taken the battery but can't switch back on now. What a joke.

I know I kind of expect this bad luck these days after having two faulty Nexus 7's. My Galaxy S2 power button is still going strong after 2 and a half years but the Note 3 lasts 7 hours

It's a dud mate. Faulty unit.
Just send it back and get it replaced.
Just send it for replacement. There's a reason phones come with a warranty that covers manufacturer defects. Whining about it to strangers in the forum is not going to fix it for you.

This is exactly the sort of thing that makes me worry about voiding my warranty. Decisions, decisions....

Yeah this is definitely the least friendly of all the Android forums. Sorry to hear you have a dud unit mate. Get it replaced.
My power button is not working to turn the screen off. Long press works to bring up the power down menu or to do a hard shut down. It works to turn back on though. Seems to happen after I plug it into the wall charger. Restoring a nandroid backup fixes the issue.
Not sure if it's related but my PC's USB crashed after trying to plug the phone in and use USB 3.0 to transfer files. I had to refresh my W8 PC to get the USB working again.
I have the Sprint version, rooted and running JellyBomb.

I have the same problem. my power button is done for. whenever i need to start it. I plug it in and go into recovery and reboot from there. I also use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenoffpro&hl=en for screen timeout and lock. And you can also get exposed and gravity box and there is a status bar tweak to double tap the status bar to lock screen (put phone to sleep).
I tried everything then found the solution on another website
My note 3 has been with me for almost 2 years now and it's power button stopped working about 2-3 months ago. Until now I avoided draining the battery below 2% and was fine but just today I dropped my phone and it shut down. I knew that my power button didn't work because of hardware problems so a soft reset didn't work for me. What I found however is that if your power button is dead you can just very quickly remove and re-insert your battery and your samsung device (I have no idea if this works on other brands) automatically boots itself. I'll give the link too incase I wasn't clear enough and I hope this helps people who shared my worries.

[Q] Very strange S4 problem... Please help!

Hi All! I apologize for making a question just joining the site but I am desperate! My S4 turned off randomly last night and won't turn on/charge. The weird part is that if I disconnect and reconnect the battery, the phone tries to turn on, show me initial screen and then go black. Keep in mind I did NOT touch the power button! The device, by itself, Turns on and then goes black. If I leave VolDown button pressed, and NOTHING else while connecting the battery, I get to Download Mode automatically, but after a couple seconds, the screen goes black again. I am desperate, my local Sprint stores haven't opened yet, so I can't go to them. Any and all help is Greatly appreciated!!
(P.S. Any way to recover data like pics etc from the phone?)
Sounds like your power button is stuck. You can try to pry it out to make your phone usable, but as long as you're under warranty Sprint should fix it rather easily.

+1 on this. if you gave a safety pin, rin it around the edge od the power button to see if you can unstick it.
power button stuck...yea use a needle to ory it out then clean around it... all else fails, id try a new batt.. OR if your trying to charge off a laptop or a weak 500ma charger., by nature alot of.times the phone wants to boot whenever it detects a charger connected, but in your case the batt is to dead to stay on and the charge is too weak to.keep it on.. therefore simulating a " bootloop "... if this is the case, you need to find a 1ma or 2ma charger...
but.id try the checking the button first.

Thanks for the reply guys! I had some time to head over to my local Sprint shop, because insurance. Technician said it's a known issue, and that changing some internals (audio port, charge port etc) fixes the problem. Although this was not the case for me, I'l be getting a replacement on Tuesday. That being said, I would still like to get my info off of this phone. Any suggestions on the workaround of that power button? Thanks in advance!

As for getting your stuff off, sounds like Sprint might be the only way. Maybe you could mount your S4 to a computer and see if it will let you get stuff off.

Tried mounting, phone won't turn on so it wouldn't get recognized by the computer. I'll try prying out the power button to see if that fixes anything...

I had same issue, and resolved by plugging usb cable and entering download mode, and clicking cancel,
which reboots phone, i think your battery might be dead, but shows 50%,
try using another battery,
plugging charger and booting,
long pressing power button,
removing sim card and rebooting,
using another battery, removing sim card, plugging charger and trying download mode,
if download mode works, there is a chance to save your data :angel:
if not, do not stay there anymore and go to repair centre, waiting too long might reduce even more your chances to repair it :good:
Tried with usb jig.?infos here in general section,google,maybe some facebook groups.

like I said if the phone boots - you can hear notification sounds but there is no screen output and also no screen output in download mode then you have a faulty screen/motherboard - take to a repair shop for diagnoses

[Q] Is my Note 3 dead?

My screen is shattered, but the phone turns on and it vibrates when I turn it off and plug in the charger. Battery lights are normal for charging. Goes from orange to green.
However, when I try to turn the phone on it vibrates once then the blue light starts to blink continuously for a long time. After about 10 minutes the blue light is gone but the back and menu buttons are lit up and stay lit. I can't tell if it has actually booted or not.
If I try to ADB into the phone while it's in this state I can see it listed but it shows as unauthorized.
Does anyone know if I can I revive my Note 3 by replacing the LCD and digitizer? Is there anyway I can test it to see if everything is working besides the screen? I don't want to waste the money unless I know that is the only problem. I would really like to fix it if possible.
There is absolutely no water damage, just a really bad fall.
Try a hard reset with the 3 buttons. If it stays the same then you have a broken phone.

Can you please elaborate. How do I perform the hard reset when I can't see anything on the screen? I know for a fact that the screen is done for. I just need to know if the main board is still salvageable by replacing the LCD and digitizer.

You can't do a hard reset without a screen as it involves booting into recovery, then navigating using volume keys. If you have a custom recovery installed then it's even riskier to try it without the screen. So don't try it.
I'm assuming that the phone doesn't show up as an MTP device when you connect it to a PC?

Thank you for understanding my poor explanation. Yes, you are correct. Phone does not show up as MTP device when connected to my computer anymore. Does that mean I should assume the worst?
Unfortunately, yes. Just a shattered screen wouldn't cause 10 minute long boots every time (blue light only blinks when booting up, at Samsung logo) and the absence of MTP (even with lockscreen password/PIN/pattern the device shows up as MTP but it doesn't show the data unless it's unlocked first). It seems that the logic board of the handset is damaged in some capacity so just replacing the screen and digitizer won't do the trick.

That makes sense! Is there anything I can do to find out for sure if the phone is just in a coma?
I had set a pattern lock so I assume I can't access through adb somehow, right?

If your charging led and hard key lights blink, your phone is good. A display assembly replacement would help.
I received my Note 3 in this way (from a friend) and then I replaced the display and been using it for an year now

Frozen galaxy s4 with broken power and volume buttons

My phone just froze, the screen the home and the back button are unresponsive. I can't restart it or pull the battery out because my power button is broken. The volume buttons are also broken. I tried using samsung kies to restore the phone to factory settings but it can't connect to my computer. My s4 isn't rooted. Is there anything else I can do ?
