Hi Guys,
I am wondering if anyone is having this problem or has had this problem and knows how to fix it.
Basically what happens is the battery is over 70 percent and when I attempt to use the camera whether it be taking a picture or video the phone will shut right off, then when I attempt to restart it by pressing the power button, it will not power up.
The only way to get it to turn on is to remove the battery and reinstall it. I di notice that the back of the phone is very warm.
Here is what I have tried, originally I was thinking it had something to do wit ht he sd card failing, so I removed it and turned the phone on but the problem keeps happening. I also tried leaving it alone to see if letting it cool down would fix the problem but again it keeps happening.
I do not want to restore the phone but I might just have to do it.
Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried taking a picture with the phone plugged into an outlet to see if it's a faulty battery?
Bad battery mine was doing same thing, Everytime I opened snap chat or try to take a picture at 50ish percent phone would shut down. New battery solved the issue for me.

Hello, a while back I posted a charging problem, which turned out to be the Mini-USB and Wall Charger was bent, and before that, the Mini USB outlet in the phone broke entirely. Well, another problem has arisen, as finally got a new charger yesterday, and worked perfectly. So, I shut it off, and left it to charge overnight. Now, the problem? All of a sudden, it refuses to boot. Held down the power button for 5 seconds, 20 seconds, and a full minute. Nothing. Any suggestions?

nothing AT ALL? or the screen turns on and gets stuck?
if nothing at all happens, try the battery jump start method
Well, after constant trying at starting the phone, I managed to have it boot after hours. What happened? During the boot,where it displays Windows Mobile 6, a line appeared, and the phone darkened, and then crashed.
What the hell.
I suggest a hard reset......

....................And how can I hard reset when it doesn't boot, and whenever it does, crashes during it?
Anyone that's here help?
I'm currently having the same problem with mine. Hard resetting didn't work for me but you may as well try it.
If you can get it to start booting for just a few seconds you can hard reset it without loading the operating system. As soon as you get it to turn on, hold down the Wifi and Voice command buttons (one's on the left, one on the right). After holding those down, press the soft reset button (the little button on the right that you can press with your stylus) very quickly and release it. If you hold the soft reset button too long, it will perform a regular soft reset and you'll have to start over, so do that quickly.
A black screen should come up and tell you to press your send button to hard reset your phone.
I have similar problem,It's turn on to the logo that's always shown when boot and then it show the logo till it discharged.I tried hard reset,but it's still the same,i post 2 topic's in this website and no one help me
i too am facing the same problem, i was able to start it a few times but it crashed after a few seconds each time. i m gonna charge it all night and see if it starts. right now all i m getting is the red led. i really hope someone finds a solution soon.
With me it was my battery that caused the problem. Try it with the battery of another wizard. Succes, Rietje
ok so i charged it for more than 12 hours and my wizadr still didnt start.
I then got a NEW BATTERY and my wizard turned on within the very moment i pressed the power button.
So any one who is facing a similar problem should try a new battery.
Yea,this is a second time when i have this problem.I both A new battery,BUT IT STILL THE SAME!!!
First time when i both a new battery it was working fine,but now the battery won't help

try a battery frm a friends phone. u ll be sure that the battery u r using works fine. if ur phone still doesnt work then u need to have it checked.
i have same problem,,and i use T-Mobile MDA Vario
is it just battery problem or not?and if the PDA inactive it can still charge or not?
and i usually use blackberry charger to charge my PDA,is it ok?and is there any possibility my PDA can't work again?i hope not
pls help me..
Well for starters, charging your phone overnight will probably damage the battery over time. It's only the newer phones and batteries that are able to withstand extended overcharging times without serious damage to the battery. With older phones including the K-JAM/MDA Vario, the battery is meant to be charged till its full, and no more. If you overcharge it, you run the risk of damaging your battery and possibly the phone too.
If a new battery hasn't fixed your problem, the problem lies in your phone's mainboard.
Try charging your phone from a USB port on a computer to see if anything happens.
Has anyone had an issue where the phone just shuts down? Mine has done this about 3 times after it has been on for over 5+ hours it just turns off... Doesn't restart.
Sometimes I can hold the power button and it turns back on starting at the HTC screen, other times I have to take out the battery and then power it back on.
Does anyone know what would cause this? Or how to fix it? Should I exchange my phone?
Thanks!

Mine did this due to the batter being lose. I was able to rock the batter on the lower left corner when the back was off. After I wiggled the battery, sd, and sim around I was able to get rid of the rocking and the battery was secure. You should check for this.
Thanks for the quick responce. I just cheched, everything seems very snug. I took SIM, Battery, And SD Card out and reinserted them.. I should know tomorrow if it fixes it, seems to do it once a day or so...
If anyone else has ideas please let me know... If it continues I need to get it relaced before my 14 days.
Just exchange your phone. Its not supposed to do that.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
This evening I experienced the problem where the phone is frozen with the screen off and does not respond to any button presses for the first time. When I removed the battery so I could restart I noticed that the SD card holder had unlocked and was popped up. I know my G1 would hang and/or reboot when a bump caused my SD card to pop loose, so maybe the same thing is happening with the G2.
Hmm, very weird as I haven't had any problems with it doing this, like above stated, I'd just return the phone over something like that, it happens.
i have a MAJOR problem!
i was using my phone (RAFDROID) like any other day, nothing special... usually when my battery gets low, like 25% or less, it gets slower, like really slow, but then i just shut it down and put the other battery in, and its fine.
not today... today, it got down to like 22%, so i decided to put my other battery in, well i tried to unlock my phone, and i could get the screen to turn on by pressing a button, but couldnt unlock it, like the screen was unresponsive. i plugged it in, same problem, screen turned on, but was unresponsive, i had no choice but to take the battery out without shutting it down. i put a fully charged battey in, and turned the phone on, it booted into JMZ dual boot like normal, then i tried to click the button to use win mo, nothing... same for android, screen was still unresponsive!
i tried plugging it into the computer, takeing the sd card out, and restarting it 4 times, nothing is working, my phone is not working! what could the problem be? i need to get this fixed ASAP, until then i am completely with out a phone, please help asap! PLEASE!!!!

The only thing I can recommend is getting a new digitizer installed. Hope this helps.
Hi everybody
I have a problem with my Galaxy S5 (no custom rom, official)
I normally used my phone, I locked it. But, after about 10 mins I tried to unlock my phone, but nothing happens
I tried to reboot, nothing happens. I tried take out and put the battery - nothing happens. So I searched on Google and tried some keys combinations, but nothing happens. My phone has about 80% battery. I tried to charge it in the charger, but nothing is happening (black screen, no notiffication light). Also I tried to put off my SIM and SD Card, but nothing happens
Do you have some skills in it? Can you help me?
Few days ago, I faced the same problem..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2853472
Then I'd to take it to the Samsumg store.. And they return it back in 2 days and said me it was a software problem..
I wanted to do a recovery reset, but i can't boot my phone anymore, also the Kies doesn't see anything, so. Did you really think that is a software problem? Because my phone won't vibrate at boot. So maybe it can be a hardware prob :/
EDIT: Phone started blinking red light... (nottiffication), I tried to charge it, but nothing...
Mate as mentioned early, same problem I faced..
It'll be better, if you return it to Samsung customer care..
You seem to be saying that the problem occurred unexpectedly. So presumably this isn't subsequent to a flash error, newly installed app or a trauma (dropping the phone, etc).
First ensure that your battery is charged, plug in the phone to a charger as well and try turning it on. If at all possible, borrow a battery from a friend's S5 or go to a store and borrow a battery for 30 seconds to confirm that the battery isn't the issue.
If the problem persists, then remove the cable and battery. Then put the battery back into the phone and press and continue to hold in this order, the volume down key, then menu key, then power key. Hold all three until the screen powers up (about 5 seconds). If this doesn't work.. the most likely problem is a damaged power key - try pressing hard or "wiggling" it to see if that makes a difference.
If you still can't start the phone, then see if a local cellular repair shop has a "jtag jig" that you can borrow. Or you can buy one on Ebay for a few dollars. When this jig is plugged into the USB socket, the phone should automatically restart.
If all of the above fails (which is unlikely), you would seem to have a hardware problem or unknown origin. Which would be very unusual. If your phone is under warranty, make a claim. Otherwise get an estimate to repair it.
.
If I hold all 4 buttons at the same time and connect the phone to PC, PC recognises the phone for a few seconds. Well, maybe not recognises, I cant see it, but it plays the same sound as if connected flash drive to pc. However, everytime it disconnects within a few seconds...
I´m in the same case, but I was flashing the Galaxy S5 with the four files ROM and the pit file using Odin3.09. All the process ended well, but after rebooting there apeared one Screen sayin something like "Some files at this phone are encripted and there can´t be modified......." so I did a manual reboot and take off USB cable and from this moment the phone don´t do anything but giving a sound when I plug USB to computer cable and I can see new COM --> Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, and there repeat a loop.
I´m still looking for a solution, but it gives me that there is time to change phone.
Possible Fix
This thread is old but idk if this was ever solved, so in case anyone else ever has an issue like this. My Gf is still rocking this phone so i've had a little experience with it. The phone wont turn on or charge. I got it to work by sticking a flat head screw driver and prying it fairly hard against the bottom of the battery (the side closest to the charge port) and forcing the battery harder against the metal contacts. While pushing the battery I turn on the phone and it starts right up and continues to run even after letting the pressure off. I've noticed this happens every few times i take the battery out, but this method has never failed for me turning the phone back on. Hope someone finds this helpful.

weird, youd think that bending the tabs out to force contact with the battery better would do the same trick fwif
Hello there,
I've a cellphone (non-smartphone) which is important to me, after a recharge it started to freeze and shut down then the screen turn on and shuts down again and stay like that.
It only work normally if I hard pressed on the board, I also tried to change battery but still the same.
Do you have any idea what could it be and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
