[q] help me please serious problem

So I've had a my Galaxy Nexus for some time now. I'm rooted and I was running AOKP with absolutely no issues what so ever.
Then out of the blue my phone wouldn't charge when it was turned on, so I had to power down to charge. When this finally stopped and I actually COULD charge while powered on, when I would disconnect from the wall outlet the phone would continue to display the bolt icon and say charging - an issue which I could never solve.
Then the next day the Power Button stopped responding all together and the screen would not power down because I have settings configured to keep the screen on whilst charging, and as the phone was under the illusion it was still charging this meant the screen would never turn off. Other than those two issues the rest of the phone worked perfectly.
But eventually constant powering of the screen whilst ACTUALLY off charge killed the battery. So, obviously, I plugged it in. And all I get is the white charging indicator of the large battery and the bolt inside, I cannot boot beyond this because of the irresponsive power button but the animation shows me that the battery is charging and I imagine it is full at this point.
Reading through some forums online for the past few days a reoccurring suggestion appeared to be unscrewing the back and checking the connections to the power button - but upon trying this I managed to get out 5 of the 6 screws and unfortunately failed and rounded the final one off.
I really need help you guys. My phone is my life and on it at the moment are lots of important files. Any suggestions are appreciated greatly.
I'm only worried to send the phone to either Samsung or my Carrier because it is rooted and because of the rounded screw, surely my warranty is voided now? and I can't unroot because the power button is dysfunctional. The only good thing I think is that the fact I see the charging indicator tells me that the phone is not bricked, but how can I get onto it without a power button?
I only need the phone booted up so that I can restore my data and at least attempt to unroot. HELP PLEASE HELP!

Try to boot into recovery by pressing the power bottom and both volume up and down. And try a fresh install of the ROM also try not using the keep screen on feature as it uses a lot of battery and takes longer to fully charge. And you can burn the screen with that feature turn on.

My power button isn't responding. All that happens is when I connect it to power I see the white charging indicator - tells me its not bricked - however, a couple of times I've help the power button trying to boot it and it boots into ODIN MODE but then where its says start and points to the power button, I press it and nothing. It's totally irresponsive about 99.99999% of the time:/

When ever you start having issues with a ROM it could be an app or a setting in the ROM features causing issues a fresh install can sometimes fix it. I would keep trying to see if you can boot in to the recovery and flash something. With one screw being mess with I can see Verizon charging you for a replacement unless you have the extended warranty. Which is still 100 $ to use. Good luck.

That would mean booting would it not? I have no power button:/ I just need the phone to boot, that's all. I can get some vital data from it then and send it back

If you can get it to be recognized by USB
adb reboot bootloader
From there follow the guides to get back to stock via fastboot once you get back stock
fastboot oem lock.
Then try warranty if your problems still exist.

Does the phone not have to be booted to be recognised by USB? Plus I'm running a Mac, I know you guys hate Macs

I actually have the same problem. Running the blackice ROM. I absolutely love the ROM but i have to keep switching chargers and/or hoping it will charge. Had to take battery completely out and put it on one of those wall things. Have done a compete wipe and reinstall but didn't change. It's not charging when plugged in but it's not charging either. Just goes from discharging to not charging in the about phone stats..

The phone is charging, I just can't get it to boot due to the power button not working. I just mentioned all of the symptoms for the sake of being detailed to get the best help

Before all that was is just randomly powering off and rebooting? Mine did that yesterday a few times before the charge issue. at the moment mine says "charging usb" earlier it was "not charging" and "charging ac" an using the original cord. I'm asking because now I'm all worried I'm going to be having same issue as you. like symptoms ya know? I hope not because i have FINALLY found a ROM i love. And I'm a serial flasher lol

Yeah, on the AOKP it would do random quick reboots, going straight from the Pink AOKP Unicorn then back into the OS. Quite annoying

If it boots into ODIN mode and you're _just_ pressing power, that means you probably have an error where it thinks your VOLUME DOWN button is being pressed, not the power button.
You have to do a battery pull to get out of ODIN mode, btw.
Let us know: what happens if you boot into ODIN, pull the battery, and then just boot up pressing power....

No one else sees the trend ?
All of the people having this issue are running AOKP (or a kang of it(blackice)).
Funny how that works eh ?

I've never been able to replicate this boot, and holding VOLUME DOWN doesn't do anything either

[Q] Note2 not charging, connect(ed) to PC.

Hi,
Yesterday my new (~2 months old) Note2 stopped charging. tried 2 different chargers, 2 different cables connected to PC. No reaction (no beeps, no led, battery icon not changed to flash).
Tried removing and putting the battery back in. No change.
On the other hand, when connected to the PC, the PC identified the connection and allowed file transfer. Later the battery died completly. I succeeded in booting to download mode, and again PC identified the USB device.
Switching the phone on with no battery gave no results either (would not turn on).
This leads me to a conclusion that the USB port is probably OK. Could it just be a dead battery? (according to its label, the battery was made on Nov 29th, 2012).
I will be able to switch battery tomorrow with another Note 2. Anything else I can try till then?
Using custom recovery and stock rom.
Thanks in advance,
Idan

Yeah, with or without battery... no reaction from the phone.

Have you tried a lower powered device to see if that works? Some usb ports don't have full power output, as some laptops portray.

I've tried 2 USB ports on a desktop PC. didn't work.
I've connected it without the SIM and SD to an old nokia charger (0.7ma), no sign of a change but after ~ 1 hour I noticed the red led turned on - turning the device on showed 44% charged.
Now I am too puzzled. any ideas?

This is exactly what happened to me. .. it was the motherboard. I brought an external battery charger, charged the battery full so I could use the phone. Then used triangle away and odin to flash stock rom, and sent it in for warranty service. This seems to be becoming a common fault with the note 2 now....ive seen a few thread recently.

Hey there, my sgn2 n7100 had the same problem before, I tried everything, even disassembled the phone apart, but it was still won't turn on or charge, won't be recognized by pc or Mac. One day when I repaired my mom's iPhone 4 touch screen, I found out that the USB port was so dusty. I thought may be it's all because the USB port was dusty then I picked up my sgn2 and used a soft tooth brush with a little pure alcohol to clean every corner of the USB port. Guess what? After 15 minutes I connected my phone with the USB wall charger, my sgn2 just started to charge again. Trust me guys, try to use a soft brush to clean the USB port before you give your phone to the repair store or somewhere else. Good luck!! Hope it helps.

Same here, i manage to purchase note 2 for 300 euros! And when I put it to charge nothing!I went to download mode and then turn it on normal and its charging! Also happend the same with my s3 so eighter its a charging problems or seems to be one software issues
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

@scufutz I could guarantee the symptoms described by the OP is NOT software issue, as I have an N7100 with same problem and I managed to flash new kernel and still it does not charge even powered off. Download mode connects perfect.
I'll check if this cleaning method, or if its a circuit prob.

Not Charging - Phone is Dead

I have a Zenfone 2 551, 2GB/16GB. Bought it 45 days ago. I bought an Asus Fast Charger later on. The first time I wanted to use the new fast charger the phone turned off.
I change to a regular charger and the led turned on (I had 40% battery at the time). Left the phone charging (standard original Asus Charger) and the battery instead of charging is loosing charge. Even with the led turned on.
Eventually the battery died. I tried other chargers. 1 out 10, maybe a got the led back on, but the battery stayed on 0% and wasn't enough to even turn on the phone
I've read several people having this same issue.

In one of the post someone wrote this tip
Thanks for the reply. But after a long day of stressing, it worked by itself. I read from an article about another android with quick charging that the USB could have not been all the way in in the adapter which, in my opinion, it was but regardless I repeatedly unplug and plug(15 mins -30 mins interval)... did the same with the phone plug and unplug till I saw the battery level going up
It didn't worked for me!
I've already tried:
a. Changing chargers and cables
b. Pressing power for 20 seconds
c. Pressing volume up + power
d. Plugging and unplugging the phone every 15 minutes
I bought the phone while visiting the US (I don't live there).
Has anyone else had this kind of problem, and was able to fix it?
Thanks

Can you confirm if the ASUS adapters/USB cables work with other USB devices? Have you tried charging from a PC? If so, unfortunately this issue sounds like a hardware related issue and will require sending on for warranty service. Please feel free to contact me direct at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
ASUS_USA

my phone died yesterday like that. i connect my phone to my computer with Asus usb cable the one comes with phone. my phone screen cracked about 1 month ago but it was not disturbing me so i didn't repaired it. right now nothing works on the phone.. at the moment i connect my phone it turned off and for 1 sec battery screen appaired then nothing. can't see my phone when i connect to pc with adb or something like that too so i think problem is more then screen but any idea ? @Asus_USA @Asus

The guy uses a metal tip pin to release the battery connector? seems that is risky and may short something out. These asus phones have so many issues, that's for sure.

possibly hard bricked note 2

Hello!
Yesterday my note 2 froze during youtube video playback but sound kept on going. I held down power button key for approximately 10 seconds until it powered down. I've tried to power it up again but it did not. I've connected it to the charger and nothing happens, not even red light lights up to show that it is charging. I've tried to boot it into download mode but nothing happens. I am running TWRP, agni kernel and eclipse rom. Is there something I can do ? Thanks in advance.

Can you boot into TWRP?

Your battery could be dead, or better your charger. Try using your friend's charger.

Hey! Thanks for the reply. I' ve tried different charger and battery. Still no sign of life. I guess that's it. Phone is dead.

it happened to me in exactly same way I was scrolling through facebook and it froze, I remember about three years ago there was a service called j-tag in uk and they were fixing this but they don't do it anymore for note 2, is there anyone on this forum who knows where this can be done ?
