Phone stuck on charging logo after charging it turned off

Hey guys!
My phone died on me yesterday since I forgot to charge it the day before, it was dead in my pocket for 3 hours until I got home.
Without bothering to do anything, I simply plugged my dead phone into the charger and went to bed. I woke up today, unplugged it from the charger and the phone stayed with the charging symbol stuck, I pressed the power button and nothing so I had to make a battery pull to get it to turn on.
Any issue to what could have caused this? also any interesting battery saving tips? sprints crappy 3g network in my area is draining the battery quickly so I turned off mobile data.
EDIT: Snap, I think this belongs in the Q&A section sorry mods

forcing 2g mode should help.
you can also get a spare battery
letting a lithium battery drain to 0 reduces its life.

Not sure what could have happened to make your phone get stuck at boot when charging.
As far as battery saving tips, there are tons all over these forums, but it really depends on what you are willing to give up as far as features in order to save battery. You can always turn down screen brightness, turn off WiFi/Bluetooth/3G, uninstall battery-hogging apps, turn off sync and background data etc.. Its all about finding a good balance though.

That's a sign of either:
dirty usb port, clean it.
Faulty or going faulty usb port.
Sometimes Rom, kernel issue.

Can I use compressed air to blow the possible dust out?
I'm running ru jellying m1 with no special kernel.

[q] help!! My phone will not boot up at all past a charging screen!

Alright guys so normally i'm pretty skilled in getting things to operate perfectly and have always been good at flashing roms but I have a massive issue with my Galaxy Note 2. The phone has NOT been flashed yet. I bought it new and for whatever reason the other night i plugged my phone in before i went to bed as usual. I woke up the next morning and the phone was not charging nor did it show it was plugged in/charged to 100%. It had about 87% battery life so it obviously did charge through the night to some degree. I pulled out the battery, put it back in and the phone booted up all by itself without me even touching the power button! It stays on the battery icon charging screen for about 5 seconds then reboots itself constantly. If you try to hold down the power button it will not boot up. I can get it into Download Mode as well as Recovery mode but none of which have helped it boot up. I am running on the most recent 4.1.2 firmware as well FYI. If you have any ideas please feel free to throw them my way. I don't really understand how this could have happened.. Thanks in advance

You mentioned that you accessed the recovery mode and download mode but did you try flashing the rom again?

I actually downloaded the newest odin and flashed the stock official 4.1.2 firmware release i got online. I flashed it in download mode and it said success. However, after it auto rebooted it again went back to the rebooting battery icon screen immediately.

I think theres a way to fully format the internal memory before flashing the rom through odin. I dont know much about odin except the flashing bit and rooting. You should check on that.
My guess is that without formatting the phone youre only upgrading the os leaving corrupt files present in the phone that causeing the start up issue.

I'll look into the reformatting.. The weird thing is that last night after letting it sit for like 8+ hours i somehow got it to boot up after putting the battery back in and powering it on really fast the first try. However, now when i plug in the charger it wont recognize the charger being plugged in! This phone is like possessed. When it wont boot up at all and stays on that charging icon screen and then i plug it in, it says it charging and the icon turns green. This makes less than zero sense..

Turn it off. Hold volume up plus home button plus power. Now you're in recovery mode. Select wipe and restore. It should work after, I had the same issue one.

This really looks like short circuit case.
Have you got your phone wet?
It looks like some water or humidity got in and power button is making a shirt circuit.
Maybe it is better to take it to certified service center just to make sure.

It is an N7100 no LTE..
Basically i was able to fix the problem by fiddling with the charging port on the phone. I took a tac and cleaned out the inside what seemed like was junk/loose stuff inside of it behind the gold connectors and further in towards the inside of the phones port. I put the battery in and it only booted up when i turned the phone on and it recognizes the phone being plugged in every time i've tried to make it crap out. Everytime i restart the phone it boots up like it should no problem. Seems as though that was the problem! Thanks again for the help

[Q] Bricked LG Nitro detected as HID

Owner said she left it charging overnight and by morning it was dead.
battery was totally drained, i used my own phone to test the battery.
lcd does not turn on, no lg download mode and not even qualcomm download mode.
the wierd part is pc detects device as usb HID. vendor id is 05C6, which is qualcomm's id and product id f006, who knows what it is.
i do have jtag tools but i want to try other options first.
keypad lights turn on when battery almost drained like all nitros do but nothing else besides that. i have tried all key pressed combinations that i could think.

I am assuming you tried your own battery in the phone and same results? If so you may have to use jtag as there is "hidden" boot loader that gives access to the DL mode and recovery partition and if that's gone the only way I know of is with a jtag device. Good luck.

Yes i did. It drained it cause i tried lots of things. Tell me more about the hidden bootloader. Im no n00b, you can go straight to the real thing. I also do this for a living and if i can contribute to the forum, its better.
I went over 4pda and found that the vid+pid are supposed to be correct but it is detected as HID instead of qcusb. I will modify or update my drivers tomorow just in case.

i wonder, if this issue could be caused by faulty connection from battery to phone, does anyone know if the battery connection is faulty would the phone still turn on when plugged in? i don't think so, try pulling the battery from your working phone, and plugging into usb, my guess is it won't turn on, if thats the case you might want to see if its possible to replace the connection, i can't remember if it looked detachable when i was replacing my ditiziger, i would check these with my phone but i have a tripple layer case on it and its a pain to take it all apart and put it back together, its something to think about tho, i only thinking along these lines because its the only explanation i can think of as to why the phone would die while plugged in, and not work with a new battery. i think it might also detect as HID if there is 0 power in the device (which could happen if it won't turn on while plugged in with no battery) if the battery connection is faulty.

let me know, i'm curious

first thing in the morning i did today was test my device with no battery through usb but nothing showed up on device manager. after that not even the bricked one was doing it but eventually it did. i also did a voltage test from microusb charger to battery pins and Vs are same as my phone which is a little less than 1v, which is really odd cause it should be over 3v at least. battery is being detected by phone because when its very low on charge, keypad lights blink a few times.

hrmn interesting, one thing ur missing is there is no way the cap lights would light up to warn you about low battery if there is 0 power in the phone which is what it sounds like, so that doesn't really mean its detecting the battery. i'm honestly not sure if im right but it still sounds possible

hello! i'm new user. niceto meet you

When i first tested the battery on my own device, i plugged the charger and it did that. Forgot to mention that its only when plugged. I had to wait a little to actually see that it was charging. Ill try the same later today just to verify that im not wrong.
edit: i just recreated the HID connection with my working phone. it seems that they do that when they are discharged or something like that. when tried the other day, did not happened at all and i took sometime.
Officially gave up. Im doing jtag.

my xperia s isnt doing anything

My phone died last night because i forgot to put it on the charger before i went to sleep. The problem now is that it just wont charge anymore. I have left it on the wall charger all day but i just dont get the red light. I flashed a custom kernel, maybe that has something to do with it, but it has ran out of battery before so thats really strange.
Any thoughts on what to do? Really clueless here guys..

Just let it charge
Sent from my LT28h using xda premium

Its still dead after 16 hours of being connected the wall charger. No led, no vibration, just nothing

What kernel? Can you connect the phone in fastboot/flashmode?

Try hard reseting it
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium

Yes, i did try hard resetting it but it gives just no response. Havent tried booting it in fastboot tho because im not home now.
Im running the kernel from the free experia project.
How screwed am i?

i'm not so sure but this is occured to me on my XAS .200 after flashing custom kernel not too long ago. but this is happen when i use custom kernel on XAS.
it will not charge, and fortunately fellow member here warned before it's too late and managed to reflash stock kernel before running out of battery.
i'm not sure about XS's battery whether it can be removed or not, but if any way to do it, you need to recharge that battery/replace the battery with fully charged one, and reflash to stock kernel.
again, this is from my experience with XAS though. i just thought it could be the same.

the same happened to me. I open the phone, removed the battery, conected the charger, and put back the battery. After that I got the red led and it charged. And yes, I voided the warranty.

Try connect it to USB port! I've had the same problem. I don't know why but it will only charge through USB cable connected to PC. Leave it for a while, u'll be able to turn on your phone.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium

You should be able to get the phone into fastboot mode, once you are home that is. Im using FXP kernel too and have had no issues so far. Try flashing the kernel again maybe.

Some kernels have problem with offline charging (they won't charge if phone is turned off). It is possible you flashed that kernel and because of that it won't charge. Only solution is to replace battery with full one and then change kernel, like member before me mentioned.

The problem is, I can't remove the battery with this model, it's embedded in the phone like an iphone. Also, I can't get it into fastboot or flashmode... as I can't really do anything with the phone right now it might be best to just bring it to a repair service...

I know battery is non replacable (without voiding warranty) but still there are ways to replace it
But it doesn't matter, bring your device to a service and hope they will bring it to life again.

Well I know this idea sounds stupid but I try it on my Xperia S when my phone gets hanged or when the screen is totally black like its dead. I just press the power button and volume button simultaneously for some seconds. And after that my phone gets restart. I'm already telling you that I use this method on my phone and it works too.
Thanks

You CAN remove battery, just not the normal way. You have to remove the screws, that's why you will have to void the warranty

Galaxy S3 wont turn on or charge but connects to the computer

Hello, I have an sgh-i747 it was running task650s rom and one day it just randomly shut off. I tried everything and was told to buy a jig to put the phone into download mode. I bought a jig, plugged it in, still nothing. When I plug it into the computer it shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD #3 (im using a mac).
What should I do next? All I did was plug the jig into the USB but nothing happened.

Is your warranty up? Did you try a different battery? Sounds like a hardware failure. How long were you running tasks650 before the problem occurred? Did you flash the ROM that is specific to AT&T? You could try contacting josh at mobiletechvideos.com. Head to his site and chat with him as he's quite knowledgeable. I don't use a mac so i'd have no idea what that error code means. Sorry i wasn't much help. Good luck

It does sound like a hardware rather than firmware issue. Did you try another battery in the phone or try the current battery in another device? If it isn't something as simple as a completely dead battery, it could be a short somewhere on the motherboard.

I just got my phone back from Josh. My power button was shorted on the board so he fixed me right up. The symptoms on my phone were it would get to Samsung screen and subsequently power off. Same in DL mode so it could very well be that your power button is shorted in a manner which it just won't power on at all. Hopefully that's all it is. 40 bucks and you're back up and running

No complaints here. Its better in mostly every way (battery life, speed, looks etc). Best part is not having to put a custom rom on it since its a nexus. Only thing the Galaxy beats it in is that it has a removable battery so you could carry around two batteries. I got a 2amp car charger and the phone charges pretty quickly on the car charger and home charger.
