I recently was experiencing my phone auto booting. When i take out the battery and place it back in the phone it automatically restarts without me pressing the power button... this happens also when i use the power button to shut down. The only time it doesnt reboot is when i have the charger plugged in. I have no idea why this is happening, i wiped and reflashed my rom (mexdroidmod, its awesome) and it continued. I then rewiped and flashed osimood and the autobooting was still there... help?

it might have to do with timing. if u take ur battery out and put right back in mine reboots but if i leave it out for more than 5 sec it stays off. idk bout power button.

Sadly i left my battery out for a hour and when i placed it in again it reboots..... this doesnt affect my phones performance i am just terrified that its a sign of worse things to come... (came from the dreaded bell galaxy s with its sd card issues.... never getting samsung again.... )

I have the exact same problem. I just realized yesterday. It's worth investigating.
Sounds like it might be a hardware issue. Power button might be broken. Maybe? Now I've I have read you posts again I'm not sure if it is or not.
I also have this problem, just found it out.
When I power off the phone it will shut down, and then boot automatic.
hmm interesting i thought it was only me and noone else becuase no other person posted this issue ever lol think i should make a poll in the general section for people to try this since many people may have it without knowing...
I am not sure about the power button... it still wakes the phone up no problem.
ill probably make the poll this.
Yes, Rooted

I'm on Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 btw
GREAT NEWS!
as posted by edkeys in cm7 nightly thread, drain your battery to 0% and let the device turn itself off completly dead, plug into charger and let it charge ~4 hours or until your light turns green. unplug charger, phone will boot, load up your rom, power down, AND IT STAYS OFF!

It doesn't work, phone turns itself off.
Plug into charger and the phone boots...
It might take a few tries. I had to drain the battery 3 times and then let it fully charge for about 4-6 hours. On the third time trying it, it finally shuts down without auto rebooting.

I have been rooted for a while and successfully flashed a few Roms/Kerenels using rom manager. I was flashing the newest version of Myn and one of the "warm" kernels that it offered with it. Everything was going normally the rom loaded fashed the rom and kerenel the phone was reseting then out of nowhere i got the image of the white box and android guy with an arrw as if to say "android taken out of box" I left it like that for about 5 min then took the batt out and tried to reset it. I got the same image then i tried vol. up & power it vibrated 3x and did nothing. My buddy had the same problem yesterday and he got it workin. I called him and he said all he did was pull batt/restart over and over till it booted normally. I tried that about 10x then it would not turn on again. Plugged it in, no response no led light up.
Am I bricked past the point of no return, and if not what can I do to get back in business
Stay calm, pull battery out for 5 minutes and then put it back in, then put charger in and see if LED comes on.
did that batt was out for about 20 min plugged it back in nothing
let phone charge 30 minutes
will do.. from what you know does this sound like a typical brick scenario? I feel like I didnt do anything different from all the other times I flashed roms/kerenels it just kinda flipped out on me this time?
it just happened to me, my phone wouldnt turn on or charge. Pull out battery for 1 minutre, (make sure phone isnt plugged in) out battery in, DONT PLUG IN CHARGER YET.
power phone on, once u see the white evo splashscreen, plug charger in and wait seconds and u will see LED turn on.
keep me updated
No mtter what I do or at least nothing ive tried I cannot get the Evo to respond by turning on or lighting up or doing anything
To get into bootloader, you need to press and hold vol *down* and power. Sometimes mine is finicky...be sure to firmly press those buttons, and keep them just as firmly held until you see the bootloader screen.
If that doesn't work, you might have a dead battery. Can you swap batteries with a friend?
I had this happen to me with my girls evo. Its usually related to overheating. Do you happen to have a second battery? If yu had an htc hero, they have same battery. Worked for me.

This happened to me while flashing the newest EViO. Don't worry, if your phone turns on a little youre most likely fine.

Never got it working or turned on but I took it to a Sprint tech center andt they gave me a new one... It would not power on even when they opened it up. they just replaced it.
Hi guys, this morning my desire was vibrating like mad, it was plugged in charge overnight, the screen was off and it was constantly vibrating, so I took the battery out. When putting it back in the phone wouldn't turn on and when holding the power button constantly down it would vibrate again like mad :-$ any ideas?? Thanks
How often does it vibrate? Seven times? If yes, then your phone might be bricked.

Its a constant vibrate, I changed my battery and the phone switches on and works fine
Its just my other battery. Could this mean the battery got overcharged and is now damaged? Any tips?

Such information would have fitted perfectly in the initial post as well.. From OP there were no indication that your phone turned on at all.
But yes seems likely, and if it doesn't work then throw it out.
Funny enough i put that old battrery back in, and after a few presses of the power button, it switched on, i put it on charge, and currently it was showing 0% but charging, and its charging very slow now :-s could this mean something else? because the battery was on charge overnight. Would a battery calbiration sort this problem?
p.s the battery is only 2 months old, being a genuine htc innovation one, it shouldnt go that quick i assume.

Probably.. It most likely won't ruin you phone, so keep using it, if it still works.
ok that battery is not charging at all, stays at 0% while plugged in, and if i switch the phone off and let it charge, then after a few mins the fone starts constantly vibrating like mad, i went into recovery - advanced - wipe battery stats as well but its still doing it, should i assume it is the battery which is completely gone now?
With my 2nd battery its working fine as normal.
It must be the battery, time for the bin I think...

So I seem to have a problem with my Epic Touch. (Caution: Semi-lengthy explanation ahead).
First of all, I am running the stock ROM with the ZedomaxEpicTouchKernel v6.02.
Last night I happened to let my phone die all the way, and i plugged it into the wall charger this morning. Everything seemed to go normal at first, the red indicator light and battery charging icon came on. However, after letting it charge awhile (10 - 15 minutes) I came back to see how much it had charged, only to find that when i pressed the power button nothing happened (it didn't wake the screen as it normally would).
So, I tried to long press the power button to see if the device would turn on, and it didn't. I disconnected the phone from the charger, did a battery pull, and reconnected the phone to the charger, and the device did the same thing it did, when I initially connected it to the charger.
I tried using my old charger for my Samsung Captivate, and the Epic Touch is still doing the same thing. At this point, I'm not sure what else to do. I am able to access CW Recovery mode, but not Download Mode (Error message saying battery too low to enter Download mode). Right now, I have the phone in Recovery Mode, to see if the battery will charge that way. Would wiping the battery stats help?
Somebody PLEEEEAAAASE tell me that there's a fix for this, and hopefully it doesn't involve going to the sprint store.
if you can get to cwm then try flashing another kernel from a zip and see if that helps.
just be sure to leave it plugged in while flashing so it doesn't die
I had that happen with zedomax 6.2 as well. Kind of. It wouldn't take a charge at all this morning. I have the no moar power app and it stays at 0%. It was at around 40% last night when I plugged it in. had to flash lost .8 to get the power going. It must be something with the undervolt? I've used other zedomax kernels with no problem.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll try a different kernel and see if that helps. I found by entering CWM Recovery and letting it charge for awhile, then selecting 'reboot' did the trick in getting it to boot. Im coming from using the Samsung captivate, so things work similar but the ET4G is still kinda new to me.
What kernel/ROM would you guys suggest? I am a big fan of CM7 and I really hope we get a build soon.
Pretty sure it is. From a battery pull, phone will not power up. After pressing the power button the phone will vibrate once after a few seconds, but nothing else. Attempting to boot into the bootloader (power+volume down) does absolutely nothing. Any suggestions?
Pull the battery then plug it into the charger and let it charge for about an hour then try to turn it on.

It's not due to a drained/dead battery. I should have mentioned I already ruled that out. I did just that, plus tested with a spare battery. No change.

I'm happy to report I've successfully unbricked my phone. For those curious about the actions I took, continue reading.
First off, what caused my phone to behave the way it did is beyond me. I had a hunch the phone was powering up and booting though as it was giving me that vibrate.
Here's what I did. Pulled the battery and let it sit for 5 min. Reinserted the battery and connected the phone to my computer. It gave me the charge indicator LED. I pressed the power button and let sit for about another 5 minutes. No indication from the phone that anything was happening mind you.
I ran a RUU to see if it saw the phone. Low and behold it did. The phone still appeared dead. I let the RUU run and do it's thing. After completion my phone successfully rebooted and loaded up just fine.
Although I do not know what caused the anomaly, I suspect firmware corruption/malfunction.
Anyway, all seems to be well now.
*phew*
Guys im having an issue with my week old s3...my battery power hit 0 percent and phone turned off and now when i plug it in it wont turn on. It will give me the little battery icon for less than a second before shutting off. I am getting no response from the phone and dont know what to do. I tried volume+ up and volume +down to no avail. Im pretty irritated at this point and need some insight. Have tried diffrent chargers and they all give me battery icon before shutting of.
What room are you on?
Have you tried just letting it charge and sit there
When my s3 but zero I plugged it in
Didn't lead power till like 5 min afterwards and it worked fine

Im on freegs3 latest.... It wont charge or anything...its 4am here and this just happened after i was in the middle of making some random homescreen edits. Hit 0 and when i plugged it in it would just be unresponsive. I dont even know if its charging but its been plugged it for well over 5 minutes i believe. Could undervolting have anything to do? I just dont have the time to go to the sprint store and need phone for work.

Having the exact same problem on my phone as well running FreeGS3 v3.0 and Ktoonz kernel.
This is how I fixed mine.
Plug it in and get it to show the empty battery with a circle in it. Once you see that plug it in and leave it alone for a while at least five minutes, yes the battery sign should only stay for a second. It should just go black screen no charging light.*After five minutes or so unplug it, pull the battery, and put it back in leave the phone unplugged and hold the power button a while. Some times they act weird when they dieThis is how I fixed mine.

When you plug it in, and see the icon, let it go for on charge for about 10s, unplug the usb, then hold the power button and see if it turns on then.
Mine will be in my pocket and won't respond like it is off. I have to hold the power button for 10seconds and it will come back on This is only happening shortly after a full charge. FreeGS3 Rom.
So is this a rom issue?

I made a thread because I was having the exact same problem. Click on the link I attached in my first post. It's from the T-Mobile GS3 because they are having the same issue. The last post said flashing back to stock fixed the problem.
Just ran into this issue yesterday. I threw the battery into a standalone Anker charger for a while to get some juice back, and the phone powered up and charged fine from there.
I'm also on FreeGS3/ktoonsez.

Also had this issue with ktoonz's kernel and freegs3. Went back to stock kernel and it's fine. I ended up using a friend's phone to get battery to charge.
