I had thought the same that it must be the battery or charging port that was at fault as ive tried various software and no change I have no idea what has caused it, the battery in the p6 is not exactly easy to replace, and would prefer not to have to start pulling it apart even though I am quite good and know my way around phones its not something I would like to have to do.
thanks for reply.
if it is hardware I have no idea whats caused it I have not dropped the phone its not water damaged and is well looked after...

if u have warranty then take it to service, if not then u can tray to reaplace battery ( just take it out and put it back )
oh I wish it was that easy lol im guessing you have not actually taken the rear panel off a Huawei p6 and looked inside the battery is fixed into place and would take some effort to remove and is not something I would recommend that anybody who is not well skilled and has a a very steady hand to try! its definitely a job best left tp service engineers or qualified professionals its just not worth taking the chance that a tiny mistake is made as there is no room for mistakes on the inside of this phone a mistake means no more phone...

I have completely disassembled my Huawei p6 now the problem was the battery, not sure why but it had begun to expand inside the phone and the circuit on the battery had also failed, have found a place to buy new battery from so once I receive that will put phone back together and hopefully it will be fine...

yes my battery did same thing too.. my point wasnt that it couldnt be done just s somebpdy said prev to be carefull.
i took my p6 to a so called tech and mobile ex he was no expert thats for sure ended up fitting new battery new lcd and new mic/earphone sock flex too myself, of course the parts were at the experts(lol) cost not my own.
i actually changed my housing too from black to white, thought while buying new lcd i would get white one as already had full off housing waiting...
so long as great care is taken, use plenty of good light, and proper mobile disassembly tools are used, then only other real thing you need is to find as much info on taking the phone apart so that you know ex what ur doing before you begin.
good luck to anybody that takes this on...
and hope your mobile is workin fine now with its new battery!

I own a xda 2s from O2 england........
I Unlocked it to work on "US" tmobile.......
Anyway........I feel Victim to what kills MOST cell phones......."I had it in my lab while driving & hop out the car not realizing it was still on my lap*
The phone had minor scrapes on it.....nothing major......*but so i thought*
About an hour later ....I felt my phone vibrating....when I took it out the case......the phone was damn near meltin in my hand.....hot like fire........So i took off the battery & waited a few mins for it to cool off.........after that I noticed my battery was @ 30 % mind you I jus took it off the charger & made no calls........any way as the phone cool off the battery level went up a tad..........
I then made another call.......it was fine...but after 5 mins.....it got real hot again........so i took off the battery & left it off till i got home & charged it.....
since that day everytime ah call is made I hear crackleing from the speaker......*but not when I use the blue tooth or ears piece*
Now it seems like the speaker has totally melted so EVERY SOUND from it sounds distorted & low.................My battery life was cut in half if not more.....& from time to time the phone still over heats......
******Is there ANYTHING I can do outside of getting a new one?*****
Please!
Im @ my wits end!
anyone?

If it is getting hot, it sounds like you have a short circuit some where in it, and you are lucky that it is still working. I would avoid using it until you have had it repaired/looked at.

I've been trying to fine out what can be dun other wise......& I'm getting no where.......
Sounds like you've snagged a speaker wire and it's shorting against the case. Are you confident opening it up? I have the speaker assemblies as spare parts and have written a stripdown guide.
If not, send it to ppctechs or similar.

I bought a second hand phone and it did turn on however there were a numbers of problems with my phone, it had a power button that didnt work, unresponsive parts on the lcd and a quiet in call speaker.
Your best bet before trying to replace the whole pcb is opening your phone using a teardown guide
http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down
Make sure you read it a couple of times and go through the pics so you know what your dealing with, find the power button, make sure its intact and adjust the ribbon cables.
Otherwise just find a cell phone repairer on a classified ad like criagslist or kijiji.

I hate to say it, but it was second hand for a reason. Ever try switching the battery? How about changing the power supply?

Yes. Start simple. First check your electron hose to make sure you are getting power to the device. Also check the battery as well as the prongs that connect with the battery tabs. If things are good there, then think about tearing into the phone.

You didn't mention water damage in the OP. You said something was loose. Water damage is completly different.
Try ebay.
Hey i found these 3 ads on ebay...do you guys think that a swap of the motherboards would be fine? heres the ads. I contacted the seller and they said the battery was used and thats it but phone seemes operational....i know its a risk, but is it worth it guys?
..need help on this one.
why swap the motherboards if the new phone is working fine. Just transfer data and you're done surely?

Reason being the other phones have minor problems, like speaker doesnt work, or some of those phones wont pick up signals and i think thats due to a bad radio flash or if i just flash a radio everything should be working fine.
can someone please clarify this? if i buy a phone with a speaker problem and transfer the main PCB board to my old phone...will there still be a speaker problem? or is the speaker a separate unit itself and not related to the pcb board?

one of the phones i am bidding for says it might not be able to guarantee a connection to mobile network (send sms,make calls) could that be a radio flash problem? would i be able to fix that??
another is one of the phones boots on and shuts off, i take it that could be a bad flash or something? its only about $20. just trying to weigh my options cause the new phones are lkike bidding for $350 lol im not that rich yet
I found out that my MOTHERBOARD is fine. There was water damage but not enough to go inside to the main board! My dad tested the battery voltage and found i wasnt getting any voltage.
i went to future shop and found a lady to let me use her battery and sure enough the battery was working and phone powered on!!! so i guess my battery was shot from dropping and popping out of phone while recording a video.

ordered these from ebay....are they any good? they look decent
Those look like the batteries I got. They were about 1/2 of the claimed mah rating. Worst case, they wiill get you running, and that charger is pretty good.

Hi guys ! I hope Im posting this on the right section, anyway posting this on behalf of my friend,
He dropped his Nexus ( still under warranty) into a toilet handbasin which has water in it . He turned it off and took out the battery and cover to let the phone to dry overnight. His speakers weren't working at first , but after a few days, they were fine.
The problem is :
i)Charging is inconsistent now. Phone doesn't charge even it is plugged in , sometimes it does. He have to keep on trying till it says charging AC)
ii)Phone hangs A LOT
iii)Reboot more than usual
iv) Shorter battery life
Question :
i) He wants to return it to Vodafone Australia but not sure if they know the phone had drop into water? Is there a way to know?
ii) Is there a way to fix any of the problem?
iii)(For australians in melbourne) If he can't return it to vodafone, any good service center to recommend?
Thanks guys
ii. Try soak in rice overnight. Should be done after the drop. Anyway u can always try. It works on my Nokia .Dont know if it work on smartphone.

Hey thanks ! kind of been a week already . Think it still may work?
Chances are permanent damage have been done.
Put it in silica gel next time, i think it absorb water better, but remember to bake it first before using it.

Think he can return the phone without getting caught? I heard there's a red tape some sort of water indicator inside the phone. Is that true?
Yes there is. If you take the battery out, at the top of the 'slot' that the battery rests in theres a little white piece of "tape", that normally has just X's on it. Not sure what it changes to if it gets wet, but thats how they would tell.

Hi guys! I have a similar problem with the galaxy nexus. It dropped in water, now works pretty fine, but from time to time there is a chaging message on the screen even when it doesn't plugged to the charger. And it draining the battery much faster then before. Is there some ways to fix this problem before I took it to a service center?

Guess we are all on the same boat =/ , check your indicators for now
Unfortunately there's no any indicators inside the phone. Any thoughts?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
There is one actually! http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/qqCnaRuXSHnMhDXJ.huge
Notice the square XXXX inside the phone. Its on the right frame just above the place where the battery is.
My friend checked his, the indicator still okay! sent back to vodafone!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 99% of the time that indicator is white and BECOMES red when there's water damage. As in, red Xs means water damage.
Edit: After thinking about it and using a bit of common sense, yeah no - red Xs has to mean water damage. I also checked my own phone (with no damage) and, as expected, white indicators. I have the Sprint version so maybe some small, tiny chance it's changed, but neither of mine are X'd and I bought it brand new.
Editagain: Did some research. Apparently my indicators are reverse to everyone else's, but they could still deduce that the problem is water damage - it's not too hard to determine for someone with a bit of hardware experience. I wouldn't get too excited.

she was on while charging, after i take off the charger the tablet still work 100% ( i guess), but i turned off because was too hot.
The heat was coming from the place where you put the charger. ( i guess was a factory error in the charger and was heat too much, i don´t know)
I´m afraid in the moment i get the tablet to samsung they say that was me that dropped to the ground and broke the screen.
Either the battery expanded and broke the panel or something related to the battery. Im not sure if samsung will replace that.. How old is this tablet?
I would make sure to add a note (hand written message) when returning it to Samsung that you have included the charger and the cable for them to test and I would tape a note to the back of the tablet so they can't say they didn't see it and take pictures of the note taped to the tablet.
If you were charging it with the factory charger and the cable as per the instructions I would fight them to the end for a replacement!
That hole is obviously made by external forces. If it was caused by heat or battery expansion it wouldn't look like that. Either you smashed something onto it or someone else did.

If you are adamant that no one else could have man handled your tablet while you were out, the other possible explanation is that your tablet experienced some extreme temperature and had a pre existing weak point at that position (micro fractures can be invisible to the eye).
It is unlikely that your battery could have become hot enough to crack your screen without bursting into flames first, so the other extreme is more likely. Is there a chance that the ambient temperature of your office dropped to freezing or near freezing while you were away?

No one enter my office because i locked after leaving. And the temperature was always the same, ambient temperature. 10 to 15° celsius.
Most probable scenario is that someone physically damaged the unit since you did leave it unattended. Achems Razor will help cut to the truth.

But point well made. Pretty dang amazing damage. Almost looks like a small caliber bullet hole. Yikes! Hope the OP shares what eventually is the result.

I'm interested in buying this tablet which is how I've ended up here (new to the community).
Having some experience with lithium-polymer batteries from hobbies of mine, my first thought was 'what type of battery does it have?' Li-Po batteries have a tendency to expand and potentially catch alight if 'gone dodgy' or over-charged. The Galaxy Tab S uses a Lithium-Ion battery which it turns out can have similar behaviour.
This could well explain the state of the tablet (and the heat). It might not have caught alight with a standard charger, or you got to it before it did. Either way, good thing you got to it when you did!
I can't post any external links yet as I'm still too new, but googling "Lithium Ion battery expansion" and "explosion" shows some examples of what can happen to these batteries (although I don't believe this to be very common).
This type of expansion force from inside the unit would most likely burst the screen and I can only imagine that being pretty nasty, and possibly the cause of the state that your tablet was in.
I trust that you got it replaced through your warranty without any quibble?!..

Just wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced a "swelling battery" problem - I noticed my battery life starting to get worse, then one day the display actually began detaching from the frame - turned out my battery had started "bulging"/swelling, so much so that it had pushed the screen off the frame (phone was basically disassembling itself).
long story short, I was in HK and had the battery replaced at a stall in Sin Tat Plaza. New battery seems ok. Just curious if anyone else has had a similar battery failure.
In case anyone reading this is experiencing anything similar, this could be an option:
https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Parts/Moto-Z-Play-Replacement-Battery/IF368-005-2
If this had been available when it happened to my Z Play I would've gone for this option (since the swelling battery had pushed the display off the frame already, the hardest part of the job was already done!)

Hi,
thanks for the warning, but so far the thing is working fine. The battery swap was done in front of me so I could see what was being done. The replacement battery had Motorola markings etc. and as far as I could tell it was an original.

but as far as I can tell it's basically a Motorola battery, so I am not worried (Motorola's not such a big brand that people are likely to be making "fake batteries" for them - I'd actually be more worried about aftermarket iPhone or Samsung batteries)
