Hi,
I just recently ran into a possible bricking issue with the latest stable relesae of CM. I upgraded yesterday, and it worked great. But throughout the course of today apps started freezing up and the like, especially core apps.
I went through the procedure of restarting it, and then it couldn't even do that properly. After that it got stuck on the boot screen and I had to pull the battery in/out. And now it won't even turn on.
but if I plug it into my computer with no battery, the red light goes off.
This guy also seems to be having the same problem as me: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...amsung-galaxy-s3-wont-turn-2.html#post3114995

I'm your average custom ROM flasher, so I know my way around basic ROM flashing stuff.
The situation that I'm about to describe happened on:
GT-I9250 maguro running Xylon 2.1.1 (Feb28), on AK 710 kernel, with a Feipusi 2200mah battery.
The device was connected to a charger that was plugged into a wall. This is a charger that I bought a few days ago and have had no problems since.
I was browsing on xda on the device and tapped on a download link for a ROM, when there was a sudden flash at the bottom of my phone and my phone force shutdown and rebooted. Since the Gnex has the notification LED at the bottom, I don't know if the flash was a notification coming in. If it was indeed the notification LED, then I have no reason to be worried. However, if the flash was caused by the charger, then I'm worried. But I don't know the cause of the sudden flash. After the flash, the phone rebooted, but. ot stuck right after the Cylon (AK Kernel) logo that appears after the Google logo, and kept showing a black screen. In short, like this (Google logo - Cylon logo - black screen). So I pulled the battery, popped it in again, and tried to boot the phone again. The black screen happed again. So I went into CWM Recovery and did a Nandroid restore (Vanir Feb 25 v4.002b). Booted fine. But this whole thing scared me out a bit, so if anyone could tell me what happened it would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Note: I acquired this phone approximately two weeks ago, and the original owner says to have been using the Feipusi battery without problems. I'm saying this because the battery seems to be the only 'unofficial' component in the device.
Hi, this morning I was charging my phone, received a call, and phone shut off. It literally did a single ring and then off. I went to turn on the phone, thinking it was just overheated, noting it was cool to the touch. When I went to turn the phone on, it vibrated on boot like normal, except nothing was displayed on the screen. Further waiting (approximately 2 minutes) led to nothing. I attempted to power on again, with the same vibrate, same thing. I removed the charger, then the battery for about a minute. Replace battery, left out charger, same thing. Replace charger, same thing. I had been running AOKP fine previously. Before that I had been running stock AT&T 4.1.1 . I followed Tasks' instructions in his post, I'm not new to this process. I've been following him since the S2 (SGH-I777), never had any kind of brick at all. I've also compiled CM and AOKP myself before and am not new by any means to linux. But I have no clue what just happened here and no kind of recovery or bootloader is available from what I can see on the phone and through ADB. It simply will not power on. I don't have a multimeter to rule out the battery but it seems unlikely to me that in just under 8 months of use the battery died on me. I'm not a heavy user, and typically get 3 days use out of a single charge. Anyone heard anything on the grapevine?
EDIT: I put the wrong release date in the title when I went to look at his releases. It's the 7/9/2013 release.
EDIT #2: I pulled out the SIM card to place in a backup phone and I tried booting the phone again. It started up, got to the loading screen, shut off, and now its back where it was. Considering playing with my SIM in the phone to see if I can trigger anymore activity.
EDIT #3: Success, flipping the SIM seemed to trigger something, I was able to put the phone in Download successfully. Flashing new recovery now, stay tuned.
EDIT #4: When I was able to boot the phone after flashing Jiangyi's AIO (From tasks post). I immediately booted into recovery, flashed 7/20b and 7/14 gapps, looking good so far.
So i have a weird problem with my note 2. For some reason the phone has no sound whatsoever and when i try to make a call or play sound the phone shuts off or freezes. Also when i turn the screen off after 20 seconds or so the phone will not turn on unless i pull battery and power on.
Started after i pulled the battery last week while phone was on went in to replace the vibrate motor. After i booted touch became super laggy, system kept crashing. And phone kept powering on then shutting off after full boot. Probably a dozen times. Ended up damaging my sd card in the process. I've re flashed a few roms and nothing really helps. When i'm in recovery the phone is fine. I've wiped everything a few times also. Currently on 4.3, I was running sky note F1 update 3. I've tried stock, meanbean and even slimkat 4.4.2 but no success. I swapped my board out into another note 2 to see if parts were defective and still have same issue. I havens flashed a bootloader yet though don't see how that is going to change anything. Anyone have some input or help with this would be great.
Thanks.
Hello everyone, I just recently got a G3 and it was working fine for the 1st 2 days, no issues. I was sending a text to a friend earlier today and after it sent, it completely froze. After doing a soft reset it took forever to boot up. Once it booted up, it seemed to be fine. about an hour of operation, the screen looked as if it was freezing because it wasn't recognizing any of my touches. i decide to flip the phone sideways to see if it was actually frozen but it changed to landscape just fine. Sometimes it comes back to life then goes off again shortly after, and other times, i have to soft reset. I've tried the following to no avail.
Took the phone apart and cleaned both connectors.
Re-flashing the rom.
Trying 4 other roms.
Returned to lollipop stock.
I can't figure this out for the life to me and worked my ass of to be able to buy this phone. Any help would be appreciated as I can't afford to spend any more money on it!
I also have this issue, it's been ongoing for a few weeks. There will be short periods where it can work just fine, then it just freezes up and does not register any inputs. The content on the screen continues to run as if nothing happened (videos and games keep playing). Turning the screen off, waiting a couple minutes, then turning it on can sometimes give me another minute of use until it freezes up again. Also of note, when the screen is unresponsive and I press the power, it will dim to very low levels for a few seconds before going fully black. When the screen is being responsive and I press the power, it goes straight to black, as is normal and expected. From my testing, I've concluded:
1. This issue is not app dependent. It can occur at any time, and is not caused by alarms or overlays, such as blue light filters.
2. The issue is not from the specific battery I use. I've switched out between multiple batteries and used different chargers, none seem to affect the frequency of freezes.
3. Temperature may have something to do with this. When waking the phone after it's been sitting out in the cold, there seems to be a higher likelihood that it will be unresponsive. This is not always the case, which makes concluding that the issue is hardware related difficult, but some correlation seems to exist.
4. This issue started occurring shortly before I began having the popular "SIM Card Removed" issue, which I've yet to resolve (though can sometimes get the SIM card to work)
I am running stock 6.0 D85030p AT&T. I will post here again if I figure something out, but I have been trying for weeks without much success.
Hello everyon everyone.
I have the SM-P600 version, everything was good until the beginning of the week when touchpad began to go off without reason, and completely random.
I first reinstalled several official ROMs from the most recent to the oldest, with no significant improvement
Then i rooted and tried Lineage, it looked good for a while, but in the end same problem.
Please note, when the tablet begins to mess, the reboots are occuring more and more often and after a while it turns in a loop and im not even able to switch it off.
Samsung logo display, black screen, logo, black screen, etc ...
I think rather for a battery-side problem, if some people have faced similar problem, I'm taking help.
Do you know if by chance we can use the tablet without battery to test this theory?
Thank you in advance for any answers.

I think I'd be taking a close look at the physical power button. Seems to me that if it had gone flakey it could cause something like this.

Hello and thanks for you answer,
Just to precise i never faced this issue while flashing an official or custom ROM, dont know if it is just luck or it can help in anything
Anyway ill try to check it the power button just in case
It's weird I just started having this exact problem myself. One morning I unplugged it and it had shut itself down overnight. Since then it randomly reboots. Sometimes I can get 20/30 minutes out of it, but once it starts, it can get into multiple reboots with the only way to stop it is to plug in the charger. I tried wiping cashe/dalvic (no help). Nothing was recently changed (including apps). Tried resoldering battery connector (battery was replaced a year or so ago with OEM Sammy). The P600 is rooted with TWRP installed, but no custom ROM. Usually the reboots start while I'm doing something (surfing, email, etc.), but I don't think it will do it while sleeping. I'm considering the power button, but I don't see this exact problem anywhere else, but this post. Any ideas?
OK. My tablet has taken a turn for the worse. Now it is stuck in a continuous boot loop. I tried the power switch, no help. I tried booting into TWRP, and it went back into rebooting before I could do anything. Strange thing is I can put it into download mode indefinitely without it rebooting. Should I ODIN back to stock? I tried the resoldering of the battery connection earlier. Any other ideas?
