Hi All,
I have been reading through as always trying to give the kiss of life to the recently (1month) upgraded MDA Compact III. I have upgraded it from WM5 to Touch Flu WM6. It has been working great till last night it just died on me and now I can’t even turn it on... It comes on if i leave the battery out for a 10mins and then put it back in, but it will only go far as the boot screen and as soon as it comes to the password prompt it dies
SO I can’t get in to the bootloader...
Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks all
Kind regards,
DS

Just to clarify, if you do the sequence to put it in bootloader mode, it still wont come on? What if you have it connected to the computer, still no power?
I had that same problem
Well not to be the messenger of doom but it may eventually die for good, i dunno what causes this but the same thing happened to my xda orbit recently. I had it for about 7 months the 3 weeks ago i had that problem to fix it i would leave a battery out for about an hour, also it seems the more programs u have it seems the more crashes it has, not saying hard reseting fixes it just when i installed the touch 3.01 rom and installed as few programs as possible it didn't crash for a week but, last Thursdays picked it up turned it on started listening to music then it just crashed and wouldn't even turn on at all when i plug in the charger the light didn't turn on or anything taking it to the o2 shop tomorrow.

I would think if u were to claim u may still be able to claim from the warranty if flashing it doesn't void it i sure hope not but i also insured mine so if the warranty is void i still have a life line.
i also have the same problem... i have upgraded to wm 6, first day was OK. i put my arte in my back pocket... when i took it out, it was shut down.... first i thought that it was because i sat on it... but it didnt open after that... when i plug charger it doesnt charge... however i managed to charge the battery fully... if i take the battery for a period of time.. it seems to work but crashes again, slowly going in black screen with a green vertical line in the center...
what should i do? please help me... unfortunately there's no htc shop here in turkey...
Sending it back to T-Mobile
I just called T-Mobile and have to send it off to the repair centre. Apparently i have a 24moth warrantee on this phone... Let’s hope they replace the phone

I am affraid that you lose the warranty because u flashed (updated) your orginal ROM.
Mayby damaged is only storage of ROM - memory chip
i didn't lose my warranty on mine maybe because they couldn't turn the phone on to check it out properly, i just got it back yesterday with the official o2 rom and no questions asked. b4 u take it back if u can flash the official T-Mobile rom then their shouldn't be any problem i would think.
I have same problem can someone point me in the right direction for the rom please same phone

R u sure? coz i connected it to pc till its light turned green from orange.
Two months ago i went HTC service center, they told me your phone is dead, its board problem and it will cost u INR 19000.
I brought it for Rs. 17000, so y should i pay so much.
do you have wall charger?
PC giving 0.5A, charger 1A. May not sound so, but it's makes difference
Put your phone on wall charger for night(aprx 10h, don't bother light) maybe helps

If motherboard is really death, check ebay for working devices (with cracked display or something like that) and make swap
OK i will give try, and let you know. Btw any idea how much new battery will cost ?
And how will i know its original one?
in Poland, high quality (not orginal, but comparable) battery costs about 416 INR

Hey guys,
From what I've read, this seems to happen to a lot of different phones, but not out of the blue and I didn't find anything on the Note 2, so I'm wondering if it's the same issue and if my only hope is to get a replacement. It seems to be dead at the moment.
Before going to bed, I charged my phone to about 90% and then unplugged it and left it on my desk.
This morning when I woke up, it was off, which was kind of odd, since there's no way it would fully discharge over night. I tried turning it on, plugging it to charge, swapping out the battery for another original one I purchased directly from Samsung, trying other chargers, even the PC and different USB cables, all to no avail.
The only thing I noticed was that the proximity sensor seems to flash every 5-10 seconds, and I'm not sure what that would mean, other than the fact that it's getting some power somehow so that it can light up.
For the time being, I removed the battery and left it like that while I'm at work.
The phone is running the stock ROM for the GT-N7100, nothing was ever modified, it's not rooted or anything.
I know there was a firmware update pop-up on it at some point, but I hadn't installed it.
Any clues guys? I know there's some really knowledgeable people here, so I'm hoping someone might have an idea!
Thanks for the help and sorry for the text!
That sounds like the dreaded sudden death syndrome, how long have you had your device? You need to take it to a service shop. Was it rooted?

Sorry to hear it . Last week I left mine on my bedside table around same charge 90% full and it was completely discharged and just wouldnt turn on but after leaving it on charge for about 30 min when I checked it started working .

Heard of that for the S III but not the Note II!
Never rooted, nope :/
I've had it since November, got it from Newegg while I was in the US.
I should contact Samsung for a service shop location then? I've never done anything like that before.
Thanks!

When you plugged it in to charge, did the LED light up at all? Mine acts as if it wasn't plugged in.
No it didnt but at the time I didnt think of it and walked away leaving it on charge. And also I didnt even know anything sds . Did you try leaving your battery out overnight or use another battery? You called call in to any mobile phone shop and maybe ask them to see if uou can at least tey theirs

All the sign and symptoms indicating its sudden death.
- Have you updated to 4.1.2 which is believed to be patch for SDS?
-Can you reboot to recovery/download mode?
Well, I did try just plugging it in for a few hours, when I went back to it the battery was cold and nothing happened.
I do have 2 original batteries, so I've been trying everything with both of them.
It just seems like the SDS because of the proximity sensor lighting up.
Right now it's unplugged and without a battery, just in case the capacitors need to discharge or something.
I guess I'll try again tonight!
It's really complicated with the GT-N7100 being an international phone, I can't register it on Samsung for warranty, so I've been trying to talk to Newegg and haven't been successful with them so far.
Thanks for the replies guys.

The crazy part is that I think the phone was asking me to update firmware, but I didn't have time to update it before it died like this... what luck, right?
For the download mode, it never reacts while plugged in other than the sensor, so even if I hold the key combinations, it doesn't seem to react. I'll try again more thoroughly tonight.
You didn't update that's prove you were not on latest rom which have fixed sds, really bad luck otherwise it could have took 10min on good network.
Anyway Goodluck for replacement.

Have you tried hard reset, or soft reset. and if you cant get into recovery then sorry buddy :/ it seems like the SDS bug.
The proximity sensor light indicated the system is booting up but if no system boots up then you should send it back to samsung for repair.
Mine should be arriving tomorrow with an engineer's report. I will fill you guys in on what the service centre says.

It seems to indeed be the SDS, and I can't reset it or anything since it won't boot up, nor can it go into download mode.
Biggest problem is that seeing as it's a GT-N7100, after calling Samsung; they're telling me it's an international phone and that it can't be serviced in the US or Canada, so I'm basically stuck with a $700 paper weight... this majorly blows. I wish there was someone higher up at Samsung I could speak to, since this is just an extremely bad experience with the product...

I would definitely appreciate any help! You think this would help? I know phones don't exactly carry international warranty, but if I could send it there for replacement or something; that's already a step forward.
I do believe that since Samsung knows of this problem, they should offer outright replacements for anyone suffering of this issue though - because it's literally putting a faulty product on the market; there should be something we can do about this.
Appreciate it, once again!

Facing the same issue from past two days. When I plug in the chager in the morning, the tab does not charge. But after I restart the tab it starts charging. Yest the batt was at 5% and today it was 24% when I wanted to charge in the morning.
Tried different power points at home but none seem to work untill the tab is restarted. Am using the original Samsung charger which was supplied with the tab.
Have been using the tab from past 2 months but this issue has cropped up only recently.

I'm not the only one!! I noticed it a few days ago. It was like 15% left. went to plug and next day it was 10%. I was like.huh.. wondering if it had to do with the last update? How can we tell Samsung about this? I also noticed it wont connect to a computer unless you reboot. It's like the USB port goes into deep sleep.
It happening to me also. I call support and they told me to connect the tab to the wall outlet, hold the power button for 30 sec, disconnect, reconnect and turn on. That procedure will clear the charging system. I did that and today, happens again. They told me to test with another charger, that I am going to do today, because I have the S4 and is the same charger. Will see what happens....
If the another charger test fail, then send the device for warranty claim..
A questions for all of you? : My tablet was build on Vietnam, as per the sticker outside the box.. where yours were build?
You can count me in on this problem too. I went through a lot of diagnostics with email support, chat support and phone support. Finally I sent mine back to Samsung for repairs, just received it back today, this evening the charging problem started again (4-5 hours on charge, stuck at 65% all that time). Called back, got a new label, put it back in the shipping box to go out tomorrow. Mine was made in Vietnam as well if that means anything.
I am with support now to send it to them. I will mention your experience to Samsung now... I think this vietnam machines are gone bad!! damn!!

I received the Tab and now is working fine. They did some software fix.
Same issue
Having the same problem with my Tab 3, Best Buy shipped it to geek squad who looked at it for 5 minutes and shipped it back No Trouble found. Guess I'm going to have to ship it directly to Samsung.
I encountered the same issue once, restarting it fixed it, haven't encountered it since. That was the second (and so far) last time I restarted the device btw, first time was for some update, I'm still not clear what that update contained btw
Mine returns with the same problem. I spoke to Samsung again, and they, at least, need two visits to the service center in order to qualify to an exchange. I hope this second time they fixed.
A question: yours was made in vietnam?

I found the serial code, according to sndeep.info it was made in Vietnam, didn't find anything else that could specify country of origin though. Anyway, there's the answer, Vietnam!
I never sent it in for warranty. I feel its software issue. I noticed when the battery is low and I connect to laptop. Then I disconnected and then try charging it. It doesn't charge. I have to restart it to charge. I should send it in for warranty.

Vietnam as well
Mine was manufactured in Vietnam as well. Used it a little on the original charge but when I charged it nothing happend. No battery light or anything. Original charger in wall and puter, other charge in wall and puter. Nothing. It's totally dead.
Hey Guys,
i hope you can help me.
I have a Galaxy W and I'm using arcos CM10.1 for a while now. 3 Weeks ago I decided to update to arcos latest Beta 4. It was running as good as always for the 3 weeks - but as I went to bed on Friday evening my Wonder had about 50% battery and when I woke up it was turned off. At first I thought the battery collapsed, so I tried loading it but it didn't help. My Mother also has a Galaxy W, so I put in her battery, but it didn't help either.
The Problem is: no matter what I try, when I push the Power-Button the screen stays black and nothing happens. No vibration or anything. So I'm not able to boot in recovery or anything else.
Is there anything I can do? Do you think this is a Hardware-issue?
I'm barely over the warranty, so sending it to Samsung is no real option.
There were a lot of photos on the internal SD-Card - is there a way to save them?
Thank you guys! :crying:

The same thing is happened to me the battery from 70% is dropped to 0% and the next morning I can't power on but when I tried to charge my phone I saw the charger animation so I waited until the battery is upped to 100%.
I think it's an overheathing problem cause now my battery works fine:good:
Thanks for your Reply!
The problem is even if I put it on the Charger - nothing happens...
That means I don't see the charger animation either...
And I tried different cables (USB and DC) ...
Any other idea?

Mine didn't turn on, got a JTAG, it worked fine (is dead now, fell in water, got new one) You should try that, if not fixed. Then the logic board is dead

That sounds great
So I did some research and found out, that such a JTAG (I found "RiffBox") is about 150$
Isn't there any cheaper method?
I mean if I spend 150$ I could nearly buy a new phone...
I found UnBrickableResurrector on xda.
But I'm not sure if it works for our device
Has anyone worked with that before?
Or knows a cheaper JTAG?
EDIT: Found someone to borrow an USB Jig. Will try this at first.
Also I found a local phone repair shop - they'll do a JTAG for about 25$, so if the Jig won't help it's worth a thinking...
I'll write again if I know more :fingers-crossed:

Great find, see if that supports our Wonder, and the cheapest JTAG here is around 12$, But trust me, it is worth it.
jtag usb jig diy guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-how-to-make-usb-jig-reset-binary-t1604707
That thread is for USB jig only......
The chances are that a jig WILL NOT WORK......it takes a bootlooping phone and forces download mode.....if your phone is totally unresponsive.... eg not even powering on to get as far as bootloop....the jig will be useless.
I think the only option is JTAG......
but I think that it might delete the files that you are worried about.....
Check with the repairer first.
Also find out if you will still be charged if the JTAG fails.....
My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right
Hey Guys, sorry for the late response.
It seems the Galaxy W is dead - no USB Jig and no JTAG could revive it
Looks like the hardware is dead. So I had to order a new phone.
