Hi Everyone! I have a galaxy note 3 SM N9005 32GB. I've started facing a very weird problem recently that I cannot find described anywhere in quite the way I'm experiencing it.. My note 3 powered off by itself after running out of charge last night. Ever since then, the only thing that happens when I plug it in to charge is that the screen stays black and the phone only vibrates once. No charging LED indicator, nothing on the screen at all, just a black screen like when the phone is off. In order to get it to vibrate again, I have to do a power drain before connecting it back to a charger. There's nothing on the screen at all. Can't boot into recovery or download modes and it's not detected by a computer. Have tried multiple cables (USB 3.0 and 2) and have 2 batteries which were working fine till this happened.
Any idea of what's going on? And if I can back up any data from it like contacts and messages? Thankfully, I had transferred almost every app I could to the micro SD card (128GB Sandisk) and was able to at least recover my notes from colornote, but I digress. What is going on in my phone?
Additional info - the battery is probably still charging when I plug it in. I think this because the phone and the battery warm up after being plugged in for a little while just like they used to when the phone was working.
Even more additional info - I don't know if this is relevant, but I recently upgraded to the most recent OS version available. I think It's a 5.0 or something but I can't remember exactly. Also, the front camera stopped working some time after the upgrade. And 2 days before this, 2 apps refused to update for some reason. I don't know if this could be related.
TL;DR - Note 3 N9005 ran out of charge and is now almost dead with black screen and no LED but vibrates only once after plugging in or pushing the power button. To get it to vibrate again, a power drain needs to be done. The battery is still charging because it gets warm when plugged in.
I too had the same problem but when I connected the phone it would not even vibrate like completely dead.
Maybe try these:-
1)Connect it to the pc of it detects it then recovery would be easy.
2)Connect the charger properly.
3)remove battery for like 30 minutes and try the steps 1 and 2 again.
4) If still not working go to the dealer cause I had to go to him too. ?

I bought it off of amazon, any suggestions in such a case? Besides trying to send it back, I mean. Anything or tool I can try? I don't mind if it gets technical. Need to get my app data off the internal memory.
Though mine started with a different problem than yours, since today it seems like the problem is same like yours. Phone's display is totally black, yet I can go to download mode (cause phone is detected by Odin), I flashed the latest stock ROM of UK too, but now there is no change anyway. I want to be practical and think that this is a display problem, if not I will be more than happy. I have to send the phone to a local technician I know, lets see.
The only think I believe you can do is wait, for maybe 6-7 hours or so, with the battery detached, and then insert it back and see whether its booting with display on or not, if not its more likely a hardware issue, display possibly.
So, 2 days ago I was charging my device (XT - 1562 Indian Version 16GB) and when I saw the phone after 2 hours the battery was still at 15%... so I got into the battery options to check if the battery was charging and it was showing "Not charging"(SS attached) so I rebooted my phone and it was still showing not charging, I also did a factory reset and still the problem was not solved so I booted into the fastboot mode and there it was showing that the battery is charging. I was confused so I thought that there may be a firmware problem(6.0), so I downloaded factory images of 6.0.1 and flashed them(the BL was locked) and still the problem was there then I unlocked the BL and flashed 5.1.1 and problem still persists. Guys pls help me. :crying:
Also please tell me how can I flash 6.0.1 again via Fastboot mode. I am still at stock 5.1.1
Edit : Update : Now I have installed a custom ROM (CM 13.1 by Temasek) and now the phone is charging like it should but it charges till 82~85% and then stops charging. Cant give the phone to the service center because I unlocked the BL.

Thanks for the reply bro. I have updated the thread so can you tell me what is the problem.
are you using the original charger and cable ?? charge the Device when it's off then turn onforum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782420
I'm having this exact same problem on my xt1575. I bought it from a nice dude on Swappa, but he seemed pretty green concerning phones in general. He rooted/unlocked it, then appears that he kept the stock ROM while flashing the franken kernel. I didn't notice this for the first day or two as I opened it and poked around for some signs of something loose/water damage: nothing.
I couldn't sleep last night, so all morning I've been doing what I can to play around with clearing caches, flashing different ROMs, and anything else I can find in the software side, but aside from somehow getting it to get past the previous cap of 4% to a whopping 25% before slamming down to 11% (percentages waver constantly), I'm stuck and desperate to figure it out. I've even tried the stock turbo charger, the stock charger for an old Moto X 2014, and as of writing this just now a Samsung quick charger for the giggles.
I have parts for all kinds of Moto X 2014/Nexus 6 lying around, so I took the risk of connecting a Moto X 2014 battery up to see how it behaved. It read the battery level around mid-seventies and didn't seem to drop at any exaggerated rate but still kind of bounced around a tad. It would charge at times, but otherwise still wouldn't show the battery as being charged. I didn't think too much of it because the 2014 is of course a different model at a much smaller capacity, so I didn't want to try leaving it on the charger for fear of overcharging. The only thing left that I haven't done is hook up the Play battery to another motorola because I don't have any screens to monitor progress and see how consistently it reads to determine if it's the battery that's somehow gone wonky.
So in summation/where I'm at right now: I'm having this same problem; I've tried both hardware and software tinkering to no avail; I feel this is still somehow kernel/software related, but I'm not sure how to completely obliterate everything to start from stock. Please forgive how scatterbrained I am right now, I'm tired yet wide awake and irritated with the whole situation; there's NOTHING I can find in the forums or elsewhere outside of stock replies like "are you using the original charger?"
My moto x play not change in normal it only charge in factory mode that to 75-82℅ only.
Let it discharge fully then put on charge without booting up

I have tried after battery fully drain, still it's not charging again I am charging mobile in factory mode. Is there any solution please help me. In factory mode i am not getting signal.
So no change in behavior. I did notice that when in TWRP that the CPU Temp value is crazy, and any reporting software says the battery is at -23.8° C and always cold, even on a brand new replacement battery (obviously send like that is what's keeping it from charging). I even went as far as to put a heat gun on it from a distance to artificially actuate any sensors and got nothing. The one time it did report normal temps it charged fine for a whole day but hasn't returned to normal since. This **** is maddening...
I know this is a long shot, but have you tried resetting the battery stats?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699687
I had this problem but yesterday I can solve that
First I put stock firmware
Wait for fully discharge
And wait full shutdown
I put an moto g 2013 charger (550mA 5V)and led stay on around 5 min but not charge
After put Nokia n86 charger (1A 3.5V)5 min and not charge
After i put an orginal moto turbo charger
And start to charge wait for 9%
Turn on the phone
Clear battery stats with battery calibration app
Wait for full discharge
Wait for full turn off
I put a Nokia n86 charger wait 5 minutes vibrates and start to charge like the beginning
Any other suggestions or solutions? Still my phone only charges in recovery mode. I have a aukey fast charger. Tried different kernels and roms without success.
The solution with the nokia chargers seems really strange and i dont have that type of charger.
Regards
Someone fixed this? I have the same problem and can't solve it. I have cm 13 by temasek and the first time the x play charged up to 83% but after a full discharge and a clean of battery stats, I olny could charge it via factory mode, like in stock 6.0.1
I dont know why but after i opened the phone and disassembled the battery it worked after putting it back together. Disconnected the cable to mainboard as well as nfc antenna. Then carefully pried the battery out. Its slightly glued to the mb. Then I held power button down for a few sec as read in a different forum. Afterwards I connected power cable back but left the battery next to the phone. Booted the phone and charging worked. Than I reassembled the phone Ehen I was sure everything worked. I was about to change the battery but now it works. I flashed different Roms and kernels without any improvment before. After I got it working I flashed a nandroid backup of a resurection Rom image that didnt worked before. Now its running perfect.

So, may the problem be in the pins when the battery is plugged into the mb? I'll try that! thanks!
Still having this issue, the solution with the chargers didn't work for me, neither the battery solution, suggestions?
How to solve the problem?
Please
Same issue
My Moto X Play has the same issue. It will only charge in Factory Mode. I had this issue before at 10-11 months old and had it 'fixed' under warranty, now 2-3 months later the same issue has occurred. Of course the warranty is only 1 year...
Glad I am not alone in this issue but i wish there was an easy fix! Putting me off getting another Moto...
Same problem occurred with me( Moto X Play).
My phone was not charging, it was stuck in some percentage and was not increasing or neither decreasing while plugged in to charger. But when i put it into recovery mode, it charges. But that was not the solution to the problem.
So, i have tried factory reset.
but problem was not solved.
i googled for the solution, but couldn't find the right solution. And i was stressed (I have a girlfriend, and living in very distance relationship, for me a smartphone is very important).
And was thinking of buying a new phone but not the Motorola, but couldn't afford at the time.
At the same time, i thought of repairing it by myself, by fixing the battery properly.
Without thinking about voiding the warranty and Motorola support, i unbolt every screw of the phone. and finally , finally, finally i made it by removing the battery and fixing it again(charger was plugged while removing the battery and fixing, and phone switched off while removing).
And now my phone is charging properly.
Hope I have helped every person concern to this same problem.
Thank you
Now that my DT2 updated to 6.0, it has developed a showstopping problem. It instantly powers off at random times, usually when I'm using it. Worse, the power button is ineffective at restarting the phone. The only way to restart it is to plug it into a power source and then press the Power button after it acknowledges that it's charging.
It used to do it only one or twice per day, but now it's doing it constantly.
I've already performed a factory reset and then a cache wipe, with no change.
Verizon confirms that it's happened to others, so it's not just me.
Is it possible to revert my DT2 back to Android 5.1.1?
Has anyone else here experienced this, or have any suggestions, before I tell Verizon to send me a new phone?
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like a hardware issue to me, especially if it did it prior to the update as well.

I should have mentioned, it never happened in 5.1.1.
yep, i'm having this issue as well since i updated to 6.0 three weeks ago. started about 3 days after the update, i plugged my phone in over night and i woke up to it dead. couldn't get it to charge worth anything. would only go to 4% and stop. using original charger. won't go into turbo charge. stopped by the store and picked another charger and a portable battery and used the pre-charge on the battery and it finally started charging again, but not at the turbo rate it should have. it drained the pre-charge and got to about 45%. plugged in in once i got home and it still didn't see turbo charge, took about 6 hours to finish charging. over the next few days it was still slow to charge and would randomly lock up and then reboot itself. a few days later i woke up to the phone almost dead again, even though it was plugged and showed charging all night.
did some research, found more people with the same issue. Lenovo/Moto and Verizon support all suggested put it in safe mode, then see if it still does then same thing when all the third party apps are disabled. did this and yes, it still charged slowly, and while plugged in it the battery was still discharging (percentage number was dropping... pretty quickly). the next idea was a factory reset. haven't done that one yet myself.
here is a page to one of the lenovo threads about. seems to be the main on there at this point .
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/DROID-TURBO-2-by-Motorola/Turbo-2-won-t-charge/td-p/3261260
I just posted this thread in the general forum for the DT2. Wasn't sure if you'd tried this yet or not - but solved many issues for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo-2/general/cqatest-app-marshmallow-causes-issues-t3386929
I also had issues with my DT2 charging. After upgrading to MM, the quick charge was sporadic, and it wouldn't work. Then I had issues with the charging port in general. If i barley wiggled the cable it would not charge, or send files via a computer.
I went up to a local Verizon store, explained my issue, and i had a replacement phone in about 3 days. They ran a special test to test all of the hardware on my phone, and sure enough when it got to the last test, which was the usb port, it failed.
I received the replacement phone with MM already installed, and have not had any issues with the usb port...so far. LOL
I ended up sending my phone back to Motorola; just got it back and it's till got 6.0 on it. It repeated this showstopper behavior twice today. NOT HAPPY.
So. My phone has this problem, and its pretty weird (IMO). It is possible that it is a hardware problem.
I going to work and I dropped my phone. Didn't think much of it. The phone worked fine for several hours. It started around 40% and only declined somewhat, until about 2-3 hours later where it dropped rapidly to 6%. It was in my pocket when it dropped. I figured at the time that I had just forgotten to turn the screen off, so it drained much more battery. I then plugged it in, and it charged for a little while on a non-turbo charged cord, getting to 21% (which is what it said when it was off). After I turned it on however, it was only at 12%. I didn't bother with it at the moment, but after about 5 minutes it dropped to zero in about 5-10 seconds from when it started dropping. This was concerning, but I had to go back to work so I plugged it back in. When I came back and rebooted it showed 11%, and it stayed at 11% for several hours while I was using it, even though I wasn't charging it. Then randomly it dropped super quickly and died. I turbo charged it overnight. In the morning I booted it up and it immediately shut down claiming there was 0% battery life. It will not boot up without being plugged in. This goes on.
Usually, I charge it for a while and it will give a higher number than it will say when it boots up. It sticks at that boot up number for longer than it should, then dies rapidly. Occasionally it will boot up to be 0% and immediately die. I have tried turning in on and off again (without it dying) and it wont turn back on claiming too low of power regardless of how charged it said it was before. I have tried various charging cables and wall outlets. I have tried several battery repair apps, which did nothing. I was going to try and do a root version, since I figured that would be better but cannot root it. (Using adb to sideload comes up with an error (signature verification failed), trying to flash twrp fails (pre-flash validation failed) and normal root methods fail.) Oh yeah, and I've also factory reset it a few times.
So it seems to me that it's a software problem, namely the battery driver, since it appears to be charging and holding a charge for the most part, but then shutting down randomly due to the driver saying it is at 0% battery life. Alternatively, it could be a problem with the battery or charging port, although nothing seems to be wrong with the charging port visually.
Also potentially of note is that my normal turbo charger, when plugged in, puts a lightning bolt icon in the battery symbol, but on battery usage it says not charging. This could also be the chargers fault, since it had begun to fail previously (only working at certain angles) but it worked earlier the same day and now doesn't.
I didn't install any new updates to the OS or installed any new apps before this occurred either.
Any idea whats going on and how to fix it?
EDIT: I've been trying to look up and see if there was a driver or something for the battery that I could reinstall but I couldn't find anything. So, I ordered a replacement battery of Amazon. Now the question becomes will that fix my problem if I replace the battery?
Think so this might solve your issue ,but getting it checked before ordering would be wise.
Going through your rooting steps , i didnt see that you unlocked your device thats why you are getting errors of signature verification failed.
There is no separate battrey driver for Android its the part of OS itself so you dont need to mess up with that area
Uh... yeah well, Droid Turbo 2's can't root. It wont work. The bootloader is locked up tight, even if you select it in developer options it does nothing.

HI,
has your problem resolved after replaced the battery?
2018 may be late in the game to become a new owner of a OnePlus 2 phone. But here I am. My main phone at present remains a Samsung Note 4, and I'm trying to get a feel for how this old (but not as old as the Note 4) phone can be repaired. My issues are a mix of battery, possible circuit board, and other problems / eccentricities.
The phone was given to me non-working. I have a minor-league reputation for rescuing phones, so thought I'd try this one.
First, I had to get it up and going. Nothing worked initially. I wasn't delighted to find out the battery is only accessible after removing two covers and about 30 microscopic screws. I reset it by pulling the small "plug" at top center-right and the phone decided to allow me to boot. I immediately (per instructions I found elsewhere here) went to fastboot and wiped the cache.
I did manage to install TWRP and the latest (as of a few days back) version of Lineage 8.1. But then the problems began again. The phone would suddenly, after charging for a while (and reporting a battery that was nearly charged), shut down. No charging icon showed on the screen.
Fast foward. Today, I got a cheap knock-off battery in the mail. It intially worked and I got it nearly charged. But after more spontaneous reboots I noticed something odd; in TWRP, the battery said only 50% charged while in Lineage it said 97% charged. So once again I wiped the cache and this time the ART/Dalvik cache as well (pointless, but ya never know).
This did get the two percentage reports matching up. And initially it got the phone working again. But alas, once again, the phone started the shutting down.
Currently, I'm leaving it overnight to charge - if in fact it is charging (how does one tell)? If that doesn't work, I'm thinking about using Odin to totally reflash the original version of the operating system.
Any other ideas or input - including laughing at me for bothering with this - is permitted.
I will say that the engineering of this phone compared to the older Note 4 leaves the Note easily the winner; to take its battery out is a matter of 20 seconds. Really not impressed with my OnePlus experience so far...
Thought I'd update things. After spending a day on sites (here and on the official OnePlus community boards) I tried any number of fixes. I'm reasonably convinced the only way to somewhat consistently start my particular OnePlus 2 phone is to:
1. Open it up, thus voiding the warranty (hehehe.... by now that's void anyway).
2. Unplug the battery's small plug at upper right-center of battery (a fingernail works fine, but do make sure the phone isn't plugged in!)
3. *Leave the back off* or at best gingerly snap it on but without attaching the screws. (Every time I did so, even after extensively using the phone while it lay on my sofa's arm and rebooting it numerous successful times previous to replacing the screws, the phone refused to reboot.)
4. I also cleaned the usb c socket with a wood toothpick and was a little surprised at how dirty it was; I did the same in a minimal way to the battery contacts.
5. I found no real use to having the actual OnePlus charger; I used it a bit but my best results came from the Samsung charger and a new (though cheap) usb c cable I nabbed via ebay.
Today I did get the phone going and intentionally wiped Lineage and installed the latest (2017) version of the OnePlus2 official os. It went on fine. I rooted it, installed apps, and (as mentioned) repeatedly shut down and restarted the phone, which promptly restarted with only a 3 second lag. I did this 5 times because one thread I found suggested this was an official OnePlus suggestion. (I rolled my eyes but did it anyway.) Played with the phone a bit, then shut it down again and screwed the back on. As noted, the phone suddenly wouldn't turn on again.
In summary, I'm not sure if this phone can be meaningfully resurrected. If I knew where what may be a short in it was, I could possibly replace that part. But I have little idea and am not quite the geek enough to sort that out. I am guessing at a short because without the lid or screws, it wants to work. It wants to be a good phone for me and I'll keep toying with it for a while longer.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Third post is a question for others:
Has anyone else experienced their OnePlus 2 working fine *without* the back cover screwed on, but as soon as it was screwed on the phone stopped working and wouldn't start again? And, if so, did they ever sort out why?
I'm going to make this a separate discussion.
Hey. I experienced the same symptoms with a "official" replacement battery I found online. Random reboots over and over again until I couldn't even turn it one anymore.
TWRP was always showing different battery percentages than OS.once I put back in my old but original battery that came with the phone it turned on again and it works flawlessly again.

This is something I've read, and may well do. It also, however, raises another thorny set of issues re battery calibration. I understand that sometimes new batteries have to be "calibrated" by being charged, discharged completely, charged again, discharged completely, and charged yet again and discharged. After that, things are supposedly going to run right. Trouble is in my case, the phone doesn't want the battery; it keeps stopping completely and not restarting. Either the battery stats are wholly inaccurate (says around 57% charged during those brief times I've had it up) or I need to go with your idea. Trouble is there the original battery from this phone is dated 2015; I hope it has anything at all left to give.

I'm trying this in desperation. The phone has gone completely unresponsive at this point, and I'm looking at having a technological paper weight. Hope I can resurrect it but the odds are not good.
Some progress, some regress.
Here's what I'm seeing. I can get the phone up and running again after extensive recharging. As long as I leave the back of the phone off - that is, both the inner and outer backs - it seems willing to keep running. As soon as I snap the inner back into place, not even with the screws yet, the phone locks up. Soon after, around 10 to 20 seconds, it shuts off. Sometimes it will restart and other times it won't for a long time, even after unplugging and replugging battery.
Has anyone else run into shorting or grounding issues associated with the back (inner, the one w/ 18 screws) case?
I am now back to a dead phone. A new (3rd party) battery is my current hope... charging it for over a day now has not yet led to the phone showing any sign of life.
One other question: I know both this cable and charger work, but as they are not the "original" OnePlus charger / cable combo, could that be the difference? I'd appreciate it if there is any clear evidence regarding this question.
The below article raises a disturbing possibility, based on the reality that OnePlus cables and chargers are - by OnePlus' own admission - non-standard and possibly could harm other electronics. But on top of that, and not well explored in the article, is whether or not OnePlus' charger/cable combo might even be damaging to the OnePlus 2 (and other OnePlus phones). They "assure us" this is not the case. Hmm.

I thought I'd update this thread with what may be the final installment.
I invested $70 in a highly bent but somehow still working second OnePlus 2 phone off ebay. (The guy had a great fall on a log story as to how the phone got bent.) Long story short... I gambled and won. That is, I gambled that the innards of the second phone would go into my first phone and that the first phone's screen would work. YES. And so, after playing amateur phone repairman, I have myself a OnePlus 2.
So many questions. Going to peruse this board now...
