I was charging my phone on my computer and I was using an app until suddenly my phone just shut off. I tried to turn it back on but it would only vibrate and stay on the black screen. I tried the battery out for like 5 minutes and put it back in. I put it back in my computer and then it vibrated a few times. It turned on for a good three minutes and then it shut off again. I remembered usually when I charge my phone it would vibrate until I hold the power button and the Samsung symbol would pop up, but now it keeps vibrating and it won't turn on even if I hold the power button. It would only work for a good two minutes if I take out the battery, put it back in my phone, and charge it in my computer. Help?
Its not supposed to turn on if its plugged in. You have to unplug it, then turn it on and plug back in.
If you plug into a regular wall charger when off, does the battery pic come on for a few seconds?
How old is the battery? They dont last forever and yours sounds like it may be at eol.
Try letting it charge off the wall charger while off for an hour. Then see if itll run longer.

I need help. My phone is brand new and hasnt been rooted. Downloaded various apps off the market; nothing obscure. Later in that day phone rebooted itself a few times and i knew something was up. Later that night it cut off and wouldnt power on. When i plug the power cord in it just vibrates continuously.
Can anyone help?
Mine did this when the battery got too low. I removed the battery left it for a bit then put it back in and charged the phone.
Good luck

pull the battery, put it back in and turn it on, don't do this while you are plugged into the charger, plug in the charger afterwards
Just a couple days ago, my power button on my galaxy nexus started to act really weird. When i press it, the screen would shut off (as usual) and then a minute later, the screen would turn on again as if someone pressed it.
Later on, the power button started to have problems. The symptoms included not turning the screen off when needed and pressing really hard to shut off the screen.
And then this morning, the screen shut off and I pressed the power button again. Phone didn't turn on at all. So I took out my battery, plugged the phone with the USB cable into a power outlet, put my battery back in and tried turning it on. Instead of turning it on to the usual Google sign, it went to a white centered battery sign showing that it is being charged.
I tried turning on again, by pressing Power + Volume on the phone. No use. Tried again to take out battery, SIM card even, plugged the phone into a computer and plugged the battery back in. No use. I also left it charging and plugged out my cell/battery to let it rest for 4 hours. No use.
I bought this phone a month ago and it worked all fine until this week. Seriously missing this phone. What is wrong with it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sounds like the power button is broke.

Maybe an app recently installed. It can turn on the screen and turn off when the app want, and can freeze your phone. Check your latest installed applications and then tell us...

So anything I can find about this kind of issue talks about a blinking orange light. That's not this.
The phone died yesterday from low battery, no big deal -- plugged it into the wall charger, expected it to be fine in a few hours. 2 hours? Won't turn on. 4 hours? Won't turn on. 8 hours? Won't turn on.
It's now 12 hours later and the phone still has a solid orange light and will not turn on at all. Plugging it into a USB charger connected to PC will not recognize the phone at all, just the solid orange light again. But for now, keeping it plugged into the stock wall charger. Normally, after less than an hour, I could at least turn it on while it charged... something's up.
Any ideas?
Did you un plug the charger and tried powering on ?
Try holding the volume down and power buttons simultaneously.
If it doesn't help, a trip to the service center is a must.
Try another charger. Exact same symptoms for someone else. Fixed by using another charger.
Try this bro. Ha dthe same issue
I had the same exact issue that you are having.
try this frist HOLD VOLUME UP AND POWER BUTTON FOR 10 SEC that shud do it.
if not then plug in your phone to a charger and try the same step again. It shud do the trick Bro. Best of luck ma man.
I recently bought my Zenfone 2 from Gearbest and when it came, I let it charge a bit. I eventually got it to boot with about 8% of a charge. I then left it for a while when I did something. When I came back, I found my phone to be shut down and when I tried to boot it up, it shown a low battery icon. Very weird since it was plugged into my PC the entire time.
I then started the phone once again. But when I pressed the power button, it shut down instead of sleeping.
I repeated turning it on a few times. Every time I pressed the power button to make it go to sleep, it instead shut down. Eventually, it stopped booting entirely. There is no vibration, indicator light, or screen. When I plug it in, the top half of the phone heats up significantly. I have had no luck trying to revive it.
I have tried:
Letting it charge for about an hour.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery.
Pushing both volume and power.
The phone is running pure stock as I only had about 30 minutes of total screen on time.
Your pc probably isn't supplying enough power. Use a dedicated wall charger.

When I originally plugged into my PC, it was charging. I have also moved to the wall charger that came in the box.
HI All,
I recently did an unlock and ROM install and phone went great for a week or so, but now the phone suddenly shut down while on, and apparently with battery (my daughter says!) and now wont turn on at all.
If i plug it into a charger the battery filling icon turns on and the power LED lights up but then it seems to cycle off again very quickly and then stays in this cycle.
I have tried power + volume up and down combos but so far no luck. Any suggestions?
Leave the phone on wall charger for several hours. Then try holding power for a minute or so (it takes that long in certain "stuck" conditions). Also try holding power+vol up for a minute or so.
But what you describe (charge LED appears, then goes out) makes me think you may have a bad battery.
