Hi, some days ago my phone suddenly turned off during usage in cold and rainy enviroment. After I boot it again it had 2% of battery (it had 30% earlier) and it turned off again. Some hours later I turned it on again, and it was stuck on animated Samsung logo.
At the beginning I thought that it froze. After I warmed it up some hours later it still was stuc on Samsung logo's animation.
Is this fault of water, corroded motherboard or something other?

Started last night. Phone would just shut down all by itself. Thought the battery was dead so I tried to charge it. No LED showing charging. Took the battery in and out several times till I finally got it to boot. Battery showed about 70% or so. Used it for a while, then BAM, shut off again. Placed on the charge got an LED this time, red. Wake up this morning and try to boot the phone. LED is green and looking good.
Worked most of the morning, then it was dead when I took it out of my pocket. So I go and get a new battery for it. Does the same damn thing. I am running CM 5.0 or so on it. Tried charging both USB cable way and direct to the wall.
Now I have used recovery screen, right when I go to wipe it dies out.
Will only boot if I take the battery in and out several times and finally will get G1 screen. Sometimes it will reboot itself, other times the screen just fades away.
And Ideas?
BTW, nothing happened to it recently. But it did get wet about 8-9 months ago. I stuck in a ceiling fan to dry it out for 2 days. Has worked perfect since that day until last night.
Update:
I was able to flash Zdonut 2.5, get to the sign in screen, goes black and reboot
New battery fully charged.
I even tried an old back up with same symptoms.

I have got the same symptoms, my screen fades out and the only thing I can do to power it up again is to remove the power plug and the battery.
Nothing brutal has happened to it, it started after I installed CM5-test1 on it but I have no idea if it's related or not.
Now it's living less and less time, I'm able to boot to recovery but usually not to boot into my OS (tried to reflash superD).
I think I need to get it to warranty, but for that I would like to restore my Orange Rom, but I'm afraid to do so as I have the newest radio, the haykuro SPL and a phone that may power off at any moment...
Hello Everyone!
Let me start by saying last week i dropped my N4 in water, but managed to shut it off before anything was broken. I immediately put the phone in rice and left for 3 days. So on the third day i took the device out of the rice and attempted to turn it on, no luck. I ordered a new battery and managed to tear down the phone and clean off all of the corrosion with 99.9% Isopropanol alcohol. I installed the new battery and re-assembled the phone and everything was working great for two days. So the third day of the new battery, I left the phone on charge overnight before I went to school, and i was playing a game, my phone was on 80% battery still when a window popped up telling me the device was powering off. I thought this was a one off and attempted to turn my phone on again, however the second my device booted and got to the lock screen it powered down again. Any help? My theory is that the phone battery software is not in sync with the hardware. I.E when the phone is at 80% battery the phone thinks it is infact at 0. I got my phone to turn on the other day for a few minutes and it displayed it was at 0% charge, however when i tried to boot up the phone before that it said it had 50%? any help would be greatly appreciated! thankyou for your time!
So I've had my Moto X Pure (XT1575) for almost two years now, and it's been through hell and back with me. A few months ago, I replaced the screen because of the hot spots the screen had since I've bought it, at the same time, I replaced the battery, the frame and installed a wooden back cover. Yesterday, while I was using it, the phone died and started trying to boot itself back up. I thought it was a sudden turn off, like when you have 30% and it dies because the battery is old. So I let it in the charger for a few minutes just so I could turn it on; but it didn't, it turned on for a split second, showing the bootloader unlocked screen and dying instantly. Luckily I managed to boot it once, and what was weird is that the battery showed 50%+ charge and was charging normally. I went to sleep and let it charge overnight, now it flashes the white led as if the battery level was too low to turn on. I suspect it's a bad battery, but maybe it could be something else. Any help is appreciated.
UPDATE: I've tried to boot the phone again but it doesn't want to do it, it just flashes the bootloader unlocked screen then dies, it's like a bootloop but weirder. Tried to get to the fastboot menu and it lets me, it says "battery is low" in the battery status, which is weird, since it said "battery OK" yesterday.
NVM, I opened the phone and disconnected the battery and put it back on and the problems fixed itself
Alright,
I replaced my battery today (the battery I replaced drained very quickly) and that is when all of my problems started.

Most people have the issue that their phone is stuck in a boot loop and it just goes to the booting screen and dies - mine is different. My phone was stuck in that phase, however it stopped after a factory reset. It boots all the way to the home screen. Then within five minutes the power-off overlay appears (without me selecting it) and immediately turns off. Then it reboots. My phone is at 4% and is stuck there as I charge it. As soon as the phone has enough power to turn on it does,
I have already wiped my data cache and performed a factory reset.
I have two other working batteries, but they have no effect on this.
I am trying to troubleshoot whether this a hardware or software problem - does anyone have any ideas?
Update #1: So last night I swapped out one of the batteries and it was at 21% when the phone turned on the first time. However, it too started doing the interval shutdown within 5min of being powered on. When I woke up in the morning the phone was drained and would not power on whatsoever - even while charging. So it charges until it has enough to turn itself on and then gets stuck in a boot loop until it dies.
Update #2: Somehow it started holding a charge. After wiping it started booting to the boot loader screen - so I have this to thank. Now it turns on fine, however some dead pixels have started showing up. Also, the current problem is that it randomly turns off - any fixes?
As in the title, left off my phone with 30%, picked it up 30 mins-1h later to set an alarm and I came back to a phone that wont boot. I was able to boot to recovery for a bit, but then even that option died. Charging it doesnt do anything, can't boot into Android or recovery, but I'd like to recover data from it, or possibly revive it. Is the only option a battery replacement, or the issue is much deeper than that? Thanks in advance!
Before someone asks, I had battery issues but they were no where near as severe. Worst case scenario, 40% and its dead on a cold day, but in this case it wasnt cold at all. The ususal % that it died on was 15%.
Edit: I have managed to boot into the phone thru recovery, but is this a sign that I should be looking out for a new phone asap?
