Does my phone dead? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello, a while ago a had a problem with a phone in some cases my phone just started reboot and stuck on "Samsung" logo then restarted again. In another way, the screen had weird rainbow lines on screen then phone stuck.
Last couple days I had another rainbow lines on screen in reboot screen. Then screen turned off and blue indicator stays on, it was like that till battery drained off.
I couldn't do anything when it happens. After charging phone I made restart by pressing power+volume down and again it had the same problem as before.
It means my phone dead? time to buy the new one? or there is a way to fix that?
Thanks for the help.

Is my phone dead?

Noticed my E900 was unexpectedly powered off. Tried to switch on and got the LG logo for 3-4 seconds, then... nothing. Seems to power off. Failed to boot?
Subsequently, power button did nothnig. After removing/replacing battery and powering on, I get the same LG logo for a few seconds, then nothing.
The LG logo tells me it isn't a dead screen. Connected to PC/Zune and nothing seen.
Are there any button combinations to do a reset?
I have ordered a new battery, but I think that's unlikely to help.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I had already tried charging the phone of course, and had left it plugged in for several hours. No change, still as dead as ever.
But later I connected to a PC. No sign of life from there, but I happened to leave it connected. An hour or so later I noticed it was displaying the almost-full-screen picture of a battery, with a small fraction of green at the bottom.
So it seems the battery had been totally drained to the point it was (almost) unrecoverable. Perhaps it was the low-current trickle from USB that got it going again.
Back up and running now. Glad I didn't panic and buy a new phone!

[Q]Bootloop and Battery not charging

Hi, so my phone decided to stop working all of a sudden.
I was just doing things on my pc when I heard my phone rebooting, after I had recenly plugged it in.
It's running the latest stock ROM and not rooted. When I try switch it on it shows the Samsung Logo and on some occations some pixels create a fuzzy area underneath the logo text and at the bottom of the screen, it then switches off and after a while tries to boot again. When I try charge the phone it goes to the battery icon with the loading circle but nothing moves and yet again some of the pixles of the battery icon become distorted and then it switches off and tries again(also it vibrates twice before showing the battery icon). I can boot into Dowload mode and my PC recognises the phone(as well as odin) but I can't boot into recovery, or Safe Mode for that matter. I can remove the battery when in dowload mode and the phone remains on but I need the battery inserted to start up anything. I've only had my phone for two months now. Maybe I could be moisture from my shower earlier, I'll leave my phone in a bowl of rice overnight to see if that does anything.
Please try help me fix my problem. I've been looking for a solution all night.
Also due to me being overseas I can't format my phone as I'll lose my WhatsApp validation and all the pictures I've taken so far will be lost.
Thanks in advance.
It's not a software problem so you don't need to format.
My guess would be that you need a new battery.

The battery isn't even swollen though?
I just tried starting up the phone by turning it on, then plugging in the cable and hitting the battery out but it still didn't boot.
Unfortunately I'm far away from a big city so I can't get another battery to test it to be absolutely sure though.
Update:
I just tried booting it again and it got to the other Samsung screen where the LED is Blue and the Logo flashes blue behind it(Only got here once, hasn't gotten this far again yet). I left it for a bit but it just got stuck there and there was the same distorted pixels like in any other type of screen I get to also the logo stopped flashing when I tapped the screen and pressed the home button(this is when the distorted pictures started again).
Here is an attached Image of the flickering part of the screen. It gets stuck on this screen and flickers at the bottom and just underneath the Logo and eventually turns off.
No one know the problem?

It's a hardware failure. Let's hope it's your battery even though it's not swollen.

I tried a new battery today and it had exactly the same problems
So by some miracle it booted all the way to the lock screen and then rebooted from there right back to the lock screen again and I unlocked it and the home screen was fine and the phone seemed to function for a few seconds then it restarted and then got stuck at the Samsung logo again, I did manage to see that there was 17% Battery left so It has enough power to boot it. So I dunno what the hell could be causing it. It's such a weird problem I have no idea of how to fix it(within the warranty that is). I forgot to mention that the screen has 3 stress fracture cracks on the screen so somehow I think it is bending in my pocket, so that might be a reason why it's acting so weirdly.
I also noticed that if I leave the battery out for a decent amount of time and try boot the phone up it boots up for about 20 seconds and then reboots again into a bootloop again. Also the battery percentage is at 0% apon boot, by this stage I've plugged it into my PC to try pull files off of it(Which I managed to get some files off).

Boot Logo Repeating

I have a galaxy s4 (i9500) and got it in used condition, a year ago. Never suspected a single problem in it.
Today I powered off my mobile for charging then after 25 minutes I took it off. I held the power button then I saw my boot logo(Where there is written Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500). That logo kept showing as usual for 2 seconds and screen went black and again that logo appeared for 2 seconds and screen gone black and again it appeared, so, I'm stuck in kinda loop not a bootlooop exactly(maybe because bootloop refers to being stuck on boot screen while in my case its boot logo). I then removed the battery and inserted it back after an hour and as soon as I inserted it back the mobile itself turned on as if I held power button but this time again I was stuck in that loop. Moreover when I tried going into download mode, I didn't even need to hold the power button along with the volume down and home, it itself proceeded to confirmation screen of odin mode. And after that confirmation screen appeared saying that whether I really want to boot into download mode, disappeared itself after like 3 or 4 seconds even though I didn't press any key. And in case I press vol up key confirming to boot to download mode, then it again takes me to that loop. I'm too much confused . I can't even flash the firmware as it won;t boot to download mode neither am I able to boot into recovery.
Now do u really think the problem might be the power button(Which is maybe stuck in the state of pressed).
Or else it can be the battery coz my battery is also just average not too good?
I also inserted the command( in build.prop file) for enabling nav. bar and the code was correct but I never rebooted after inserting that. this was the first time I rebooted after that.
SOrry for some bad English.
Do you have something like this? I'm now having problem with getting my phone back to work...

From what you say it seams like power button problem, try to start the phone and connect it to the charger. When it start take out the battery, it will be powered by charger and you will eliminate battery problem.

Moto G4 sudden death

Hi, I have a Moto G4 XT1621 bought almost 6 months ago. Never had any type of problem, but two days ago I woke up, saw the hour just fine, and five minutes later I grabbed it to check notifications, and it was dead. The only sign of life the phone gave me was the blinking of the charging LED and the phone vibrating randomly when I pressed the power button. That night, the phone turned on, but the screen was always black, no backlight. I heard the boot up animation sound (the classic "HELLO MOTO!!!"), but the screen wasn't turning on.
Thinking it was a software failure, I've flashed the stock rom via fastboot (the phone connects in bootloader mode, but I can't see the bootloader screen), but the problem was the same: I can hear the boot up sound, and if right after the phone boots up I press the power button, I can hear the lock sound about 5 or 6 times, but apparently it turns off itself.
Sometimes, it can't boot properly; the boot up sound is cut before it ends, mainly in "HELLO MO...".
I really need help, I've tried everything: leave it charging for hours, tried a major amperage charger, pressing the power button + vol down for 2, 3 and for 5 minutes, disassembling it and reconnecting the battery, tried to turn it on without the battery, flash stock ROM, all kinds of wipes, etc.
The phone hasn't suffered from water damage, I didn't dropped it or anything like that. The screen connections nor the motherboard connectors does not presents any damage.
Any help is welcome .
PD: Sorry for any misspelling, english isn't my main language :silly:.
Could have been the screen or the GPU

It seems weird because the phone didn't have any issues, it just turned off and bye bye. I'm running out of options
Edit: needless to say that the phone don't stay that much powered on (5 seconds aprox. for the sound that the lock screen do), so I don't think this is a screen problem. If it was a screen failure, the phone will stay on.
Bad/good news?
Almost five minutes ago, I noticed that the screen on the phone is on, but slightly visible, almost impossible to see: you have to be in a fully darked room, and its backlight it's on, but it shows no sign of letters on the bootloader or boot animation whatsoever, it's just backlight.
Any ideas of what could it be? I'm almost decided that I need a screen replacement, but any ideas will be welcomed.
