Ive been having a problem with my xda for the last few days, whenever i pull out the power cable the phone will go into its low power state is this an issue with the battery or my phone? Is it worth buying another battery to see if this fixes the issue?
Thanks for any help
Hi Everyone,
I purchased galaxy nexus around a week back. Yesterday, it's interface hung up and it stopped responding. I had no other option other then to remove the battery and restart the phone again. I removed the battery and inserted it back but now the phone won't turn on. I've tried everything. I held the power button for atleast a minute and it didn't work. I pressed both volume down and power button but that didn't work either. I removed the SIM card but it still didn't work. I also put the phone on charge but still no response from the phone.
It does not show anything on the screen. Has anyone else faced this kind of problem? Is this a hardware problem? Is there any solution other then replacing the phone?
Looking forward for a reply. Thanks.
Try the power button again. If no worky probably gotta exchange it

Sounds like you've covered most of the methods/states of turning the device on.
All the states of pressing the power button with other options I can think of are: volume up/down/together, usb plugged in and usb removed. Could also try removing the battery in between trying these and varying the length of holding down the power button.
Having usb unplugged, no volume keys pressed and holding the power button for 2-3 seconds has worked best for me.
Otherwise, as suggested above, the other option is to return/exchange the device as defective.
Hope that helps!
How sure are you that the battery is not dead? Of course like you say, the device itself may be dead but still.
Try keeping the phone on charge for a few minutes (say 15) at the very least and then attempt to see if the charging indicator shows on the screen when you click the power button. If it doesn't, then like everyone says, exchange the device....
My 2p's worth...
Thankyou everyone for the reply.
@s1977 pretty sure. It had around 50% battery when it stopped responding. And I also put it on charge for atleast 3-4 hours. Didn't work.
I think the only option left, as you all suggested, is to get a replacement and that's what I was afraid of. I ordered this from the UK and now I'll have to pay extra courier charges + tax to get a replacement.
Anyway, once again thankyou all for your response.

Make sure you try holding the power button down firmly for awhile. Once it took about 10 seconds for me. I was starting to freak out.

Can anyone tell me if there is any power points(both power and ground) that can be easily accessible without pulling the mainboard completely out of the phone. that can be used as pwr points for charging? if anyone can help with a pic or sumthing i would highly appreciate it.
Hi guys.
I think my problem has been covered before but I can't seem to get the tablet to turn back on.
It was working fine. It was on about 20% battery so I put it on charge overnight like I often do. I went to use it the next day and it was switched off. I tried to turn it back on but nothing. No light indicating it was charging either. I have tried holding power and volume up and down and home keys (All combinations) and nothing has worked. Done this whilst plugged in to the mains and laptop and unplugged as well. Nothing. I've even tried taking the back cover off and unplugging the battery cable and plugging it back in but still nothing. I haven't been able to find anything else that might help.
I've ordered a new battery, hoping it's just the battery that has died.
Anyone else have any ideas or experiences with a similar problem?
Thanks in advance

Try holding POWER + VOL DOWN for about 20 secs.
Thanks for the reply.
I have tried this numerous times. Nothing.
I ordered a new battery and fitted it but there is still no sign of life. I'm thinking its maybe a motherboard issue. Anybody else have any thoughts??
MATE if u still have warranty return it, but if not get it replaced, u can do ur own diagnostic and use a multimeter to check if power from battery to motherboard has voltage, if thats to hard for u to do, get it repaired at ur local authorized Samsung dealer.
anybody near you got ipad? use their charger and see if it can power up or not.

I pad, don't they use proprietary charging ports?
Is this a known issue or maybe just the ROM I'm running (XENON)? My S4 Mini will drain the battery when switched off, the only way to avoid that is to remove the battery and the battery will then hold it's charge, same with my spare battery.
It seems the the phone does not power off, but it does reboot when powered back on,same as if you'd just put the battery in.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Bump!
Am I the only one with this problem?
Second bump.
I want to use an S4 mini as a car DVR. Dead battery, I used its PCB to attach to it a bench power supply as a test, and coupled said PCB with battery contacts.
Given 4.2V, this PCB will act as a full battery and will boot the phone no problem. While the phone is working, my bench power supply shows the current drain.
When I power off the phone (long press on power button > Power off) the bench power supply still shows there's a drain that amounts to about 35mA at 4.2V. WTH?
This drain also goes on if I dial down the voltage on the power supply, lower than 3.2V, and down to almost 0V, so it keeps going no matter how dead or dying is the battery. That's just idiotic... the phone works fine otherwise.
Not stock rom, but latest available LOS.
Seems that no one else has this problem?
I'm trying the stock ROM again to see if it makes any difference.

Well, that made no difference either so I guess that it's a faulty phone.

I can't remember now, but did the S4 Mini running stock have an alarm that would switch the phone on? Could be that, ie clock etc.
Another possibility is dendritic growth which is when a PCB (PWB) is contaminated and allows a small dendrite to grow which allows current to leak. PCB would have to be cleaned to remove dendrite but you'd need a specialist, so likely not worth it.
