Bugged when device is charging and off? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I can't turn on the device while its plugged in and charging while its turned off. I would have to take out the batteries everytime. Is this a bug or is it suppose to be like this?

Tried holding it for 2 minutes yet nothing happens. Don't think it is rom problem?

Good thing I read through this q n a, I'm going crazy too. When I power off (to reboot after installing tons of apps, to refresh etc.) I get the battery charged icon and freezes there. Only battery pull works. I'm on Android Revolution 2.1.0 unlocked and rooted. I guess bug? Annoying, feel like I'm going to tear the cover every time and damage the screen

This happened to me too, and the battery charging icon caused burn-in. Fortunately, it went away after a day or so.

Same bug here. We'll have to hold tight and wait for a fix or run stock.
On my Fascinate you could hold the vol up and power button to get soft boot the phone, but the GNex does not seem to have this feature. I hate pulling the battery.

Same issue for me ... I think we have to open a bug tracking. This is a very annoying problem.
Android 4.0.2
Kernel 3.0.8-gaaa2611

Since my phone is new to me I wanted to power down and get a full charge.. but I can report this bug as well. /cry
Did any of you use a different rom prior to ARHD? I wonder if its something in the kernel or the OS. What allows the phone to show that animation when turned off? That could hint at what modification breaks offline charging.

I have this problem too running a revolution rom. The phone charges fine but I have to pull the battery to boot up. It's a strange one!

does this happen to stock rom? the one shipped with the phone?

No!
The bug happens with custom roms. Infact I went back to the stock rom and (even if rooted) I can charge the phone when it's turned off without having problems.

I am certain the phone still charges to 100% but it appears to be frozen. The only way to boot back up is a battery pull.
Any more info on this from anyone? I saw a 4.0.3 rom yesterday that claims to fix the issue so maybe that's the way forward.

Same here, on bigxie's ROM, if I try to boot with phone plugged in from being dead, freezes right at battery charging icon, have to battery pull. Very annoying.

I agree.... infact I will not use custom roms until the bug will be closed!

This seems to be more prevalent in 4.0.3 roms. I have a deodexed 4.0.2 rom from bigxie which charges just fine when powered off. However any 4.0.3 rom will not let me charge while off.
Not sure if it's an unintented bug but we'll have to see when the full update hits gnex officially.

I don't think so. I had the bug in a 4.0.2 custom rom

Fixed in 4.0.3 ROM/Kernel.

what and where? GSM usually doesn't apply to us CDMA/LTE users especially if it's a rom/kernel issue.

Might be related to a custom recovery. Do you guys all have ClockworkMod in common? I have a stock recovery and don't have such problems.

[Q] Q: Anyone elses HOX powers up on its own while turned off and charging?

Since the first ROM I have a strange problem, everytime I turn my One X off, plugin the charger it keeps not only charging but will power up the device to normal mode eventually - i.e. no special charging mode etc. It sometimes takes several hours but in the end it will always be on which is really frustrating.
I've tried different ROMs with different Kernels, I'm now on CM10 nightly - still it powers up magically if I have turned if off before and plug in the charger.
Does anyone else have this problem??? Any suggestions?
Same here
I've got the same issue. Exactly as you described.
I don't have any idea why is it happening - is it a hardware or software issue.
:silly:
It's part of CWM. Flash stock recovery if you don't want this to happen then you'll lose root.

What is your cwm version? Try upgrading to 5.8.4.0.
Is this on One X only because I never had that on any other device?

Mine is 5.8.4.0.
Can you try reflaehing it? Earlier versions had that problem.
Also, you can try it with twrp to see if that helps.
EDIT. I may have misunderstood guys. Earlier cwms wouldnt let you stay powered down after shutting the phone down. It would turn on even without plugging in.
EDIT2 Turned mine off. Plugged it in. Remains off so far. Will see in the morning. It certainly sounds like cwm problem. Try twrp and see if that helps.
I do already have 5.8.4.0 :-\

You are not alone, all of us are facing this one, and i think it's pretty normal.
If you drain your battery to zero, and if you start to charge it, one hour after (that's what i've noticed) it'll boot up and it'll show up your lock screen.
This is normal for the HOX?
Im completely stock, un-rooted etc etc.
And when my HOX is off, when I plug the charger in it boots the phone. But then if you switch it off whilst the charger is on, it will not re-boot up.
It still happens, I have reflashed recovery and stuff and it still turns on itself.
I just tried it over night, started with a 41% charge left, turned it off, plugged in the charger and this morning it was turned on. :'(

Galaxy S3 bricked... sometimes??

So, lately my phone has been acting kinda weird.. Basically, it'll shut off on it's own, no matter what my battery level or if I'm on the charger, its pretty random. When I go to turn it on, it shows me the samsung logo and shuts off after about 3 seconds of the galaxy s3 logo. It does the same in download mode and recovery. The phone will stay off and do that for an hour or more, and then itll turn on and be all dandy again for hours or at least another day. I'm going to take off all my pictures on the sdcard and odin back to stock as soon as possible for warranty, but does this sound like a hardware failure or software? I read about the s3 sudden death syndrome, but this one isnt permanent. Any ideas?
I agree with your assessments.
I'd wonder about overheating or a bad battery.

Beware if it shuts down when your flashing back to stock in the middle of the process it may never turn back on.

It might be the kernel that came with the ROM you installed. I used to have problem with ktoon kernel.
I'm running Darthstalker XI, the problem happened with both the stock kernel and the faux samsung kernel. The battery is fine, its completely flat with no bumps or humps. I managed to turn it on once yesterday but as I was getting ready to transfer over the files the phone shut off and didn't start again. I'll try to get it running tomorrow.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, the problem happened when I dirty flashed XI over X. Afterwards I did a wipe and clean install of X1 and the problem persisted. Has anyone else on Darthstalker/UDVLJA based roms had this?
EDIT2: Well after being on the charger all day, I noticed that the green samsung battery icon was on the screen, something it only does when it's about to turn on properly. I instantly pulled out the sdcard and put the latest cm10 nightly and gapps on there and I booted to recovery, wiped, and flashed them right up, no issues. I booted just fine, I signed up and I was downloading youtube, latest now updates etc (bare essentials).... and it shut off again. I'm positive now that it's a hardware failure

If you have an app that controls kernel voltage that is still set up for set on boot and the voltage is too low when it boots or is granted root it'll kill it in this manner. Otherwise your phone is [email protected]#

I'd wager that if any overclocking/undervolting was done, it was disabled at the onset of problems. OP seems smarter than orangutan.
I used the phone for work, not play, no overclocking was done neither was any undervolting. I ran stock kernel settings.

I remember a time when XDA had helpful answers and users weren't reduced to insults. I've been around a couple years, hacked more phones than I can count and flashed hundreds of roms in my days, back when everything was still done in adb and terminal emulator. It's no wonder a lot of decent user has started moving over to rootzwiki

[Q] Anyone experiencing powering off and troubles switching it back on (charged)?

Hello guys,
I tried to search for a similar issues but I couldn't find anything similar so please bear with me.
My KF sometimes shuts down overnight. In the morning then I have troubles to switching it on again (clicking the power button, holding it for longer periods of time...). It usually helps for the tablet being connected to the charger, but it takes a few tries to turn it on. After I managed to turn it on again, for example yesterday, it had 80% of battery left.
I am using CM nighties and this is happening already for some time.
I am also using juice defender, I am not sure if that is relevant.
Do you have any suggestion, what could be the cause of this? Maybe a suggested alternative rom? Or some logs I can check? I think the powering on troubles bother me more than the shutting off overnight since I always think it won't come back on anymore.
Also, not sure if relevant. If I try to turn it on and it doesn't, sometimes the button flashes orange. After a few tries it turns green and powers on. Not sure if I am now not only confusing times, when it was simply out of juice.
P.S. On a different note, just curious, does anyone know how if there is a rom with working mic already?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I sometimes have the same issue with the power button - in fact it happened to me this morning where I went from about 60% charge to 16% with a sudden power drop.
Not sure why this happens. I thought it was a bad battery so I changed it but am still getting the problem every now and then.

the only thing that i can think of is that during the middle of the night a soft-reboot happens and it cant boot back up into the system. this would cause it to sit there and continually try to boot up. this would use a lot of cpu and a lot of power. as for why that drains battery while being plugged in, well i cant help you on that.
Thanks for the input. I've wiped dalvik, cache and the system and installed hashcodes AOSP Jelly Bean (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041694) and at least it survived this night without shutting down so maybe this helped. If I come across the same issue, I will update this thread with new info.
Thanks again,

Sounds like a hardware issue, and Amazon has been replacing those of customers who buy new from them.
Mine has this issue too. I KNOW it has battery power, and is still on, but the screen won't turn on. Only solution is to plug in power, then hold down the power button until it shuts down hard. Then turn back on.
I'm returning mine because of it.
Thanks for the info. I am still hoping this is a software issue.Regrettably I am outside o the US and thus replacing it is nearly impossible. I will see, if the issue returns with the new rom and will update the thread if it happens again, just for your information.

Try going to the WiFi settings and selecting 'never' for keeping WiFi on during sleep. This seemed to work for me.... So far it hasn't happened again.

I think this is the bug I am experiencing:
Shutdown bug stalls out the shutdown. Looks like the device is off, but it's still powered draining battery. Currently requires long power button press to fully shutdown after the screen is black (about 15-20 seconds).
from the 3.4 kernel thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264563). I am not sure if cm 10.1 nighties contain this kernel, but the description is pretty much spot on.I couldn't test the fix (holding the button for 15-20 seconds), since I already changed roms, but if someone experiences the issue again, he can post if this works and which rom and kernel they are using.
This happens to my Kindle Fire device as well. It just randomly shuts off and it won't come back on until I do a hard shutdown then turn it back on. I currently have AOSP Jelly Bean 4.2.2_r1 on it.

Yes, it happened again to me with the same ROM, but it happens less often. I will try the updated kernel once it is finished.
On May 27, 2013, Hashcode listed the known issues of the current kernel on his website:
Sound / MIC debugging
Deep sleep issues with “omapdss_dpi” device
SmartReflex shutdown loop fix.

Question about battery problems in new rom?

Hello! So yesterday I flashed my second rom (glazed ics) and today I noticed that there seems to be a problem with it regarding my battery. What happens is that it is hard to get it to charge (I have to unplug it and restart the device.), but it does charge after that. The real problem is that when I put the device into sleep mode, or the screen goes off automatically, the battery light will flicker, and then it will stop charging.
I don't think it is an actual hardware problem because both roms I had before this one charged fine. I am using the normal kindle fire charger.
Thank you for any advice you could give
glazed ics, use jelly bean, Kfire's have a bit of charging problems too.

Thank you for your response. Is there a particular rom you would recommended?
Yep I just tested it again. Now it charges fine when in the wall, but once again, if I put it into sleep mode, the light stays on for like 5 seconds and then turns off. Anyone have a solution that doesn't involve another rom, because I really like this one?
Use SGT 4.3 or 4.2, it's quite fast and more modern, ICS roms have an older kernel which may damage your hardware if you use your kindle a lot. When at full brightness the screen might stay brigther when it is standby

G3 does not boot unless I pull the battery

I just rooted and installed TWRP. Now when I power off my G3, I cannot boot it back up unless I pull the battery. I am not sure what went wrong. Please help
this happens to me on both D852 stock ROM and Cloudy.
I have the Sprint variant and I used to have the same issue on every power cycle. But now it happens maybe once every 20 power cycles. Do you have xposed installed? Make sure you flash the latest framework.

Sorry, by power cycle I mean the power off/reboot process. Sometimes, I would reboot my phone, but instead it would power off and it would not power back on until I did a battery pull. I also noticed that this happened more often when my battery was very low (below 10%). But for some reason I haven't had this happen to me in a while.

Did this happen to you when you were stock and unrooted?
Can you charge the phone while the screen is off? Because when it happens to me, I cannot charge the phone with screen off.

Well, once I upgraded to Lollipop this started happening. It never happened when I was on kitkat, and both times I have been rooted with custom recovery. It would do the same thing as you are describing. The phone acts dead and it does not charge/power on until I do a battery pull. The first time it happened I was scared because I thought I bricked the phone!

Is there a resolution to this? Or how is the problem for you now
I haven't found out what caused the problem to go away. I can either relate it to installing g3 tweaksbox and having the power menu come up through long press of home button, or by making sure I didn't greenify/freeze any critical system app. There is a system app called "Shutdown Monitor" that I think controls this power down process.

It used to happen almost on every reboot, but it only happened once in the last month. I can't trace it down to one cause. I think it has to do with active apps or processes that are interrupting the shutdown process. Make sure all your apps are closed and cleared from recents before shutting down.
I've been seeing this issue on CM12.1. I always thought the problem was CM related. It's interesting to see it's happening on stock ROM.
EDIT: phone is a d852

U have D850 right?
This issue is mainly with the at&t version of g3. On stock KK everything will be fine.
But on any LP rom there will be the No boot without battery swap issue and also Signal Drop issue.
This is not a issue with the roms. It is an issue with our AT&T lg g3. After a whole lot of search i still could not find anything. So i exchanged it with the international version.
Ive got the 32gb 3gb ram International version and mine does it too.
Its completly stock no root.It did it once about a month ago.
Then today i did a factory reset,charged the phone to 100% and unplugged it.
Went to use the phone a few hours later and it was dead had to do the battery pull connect to charger.
Battery was at 84%.
I also have this issue on my 32GB D852 variant. Battery pulls about 50 or 60% every time I try to boot. Sucks big time.

I have the issue too- D850 Fulmics 2.7. It's randomly shut off twice now in the past two weeks. Hopefully marshmallow will fix it! At the very least I'm glad it's not just me experiencing the issue- I just bought the phone used and was worried it was a dud.
Since this thread is pretty old now I'm wondering if people who have had the issue have any recommendations for potential fixes too.
Downgrade your TWRP to 2.8.5.1 and this will most probably (90%) solve booting problem. Before that you want to backup your modem with newest version of TWRP because old wersions can not do that. In case you need to restore your modem, just upgrade to newest version. So you are fully covered
I know I'm late to the game, but I want to thank @Navuhodonosor. Downgrading TWRP fixed my problem. I haven't had to pull the battery in over a month. Reboot and power on both work now, though Chainfire's Liveboot doesn't always load. Considering I installed that to try to troubleshoot the problem, I don't care
