So I bought this phone a few days ago and everything seemed to work fine. Yesterday I left the phone at home while I was at work because I could not use it. The battery died while I was at work so when I got home I attempted to charge it. When I plug it in the blue LED flashes for a second and then the "empty" battery screen shows up but the spinning circle just freezes. It stays at this screen and when I leave it plugged in for a long time the screen will go on and off about every 5 seconds or so. I let it charge over night and woke up to the same problem today. Took it to a local cell phone store to buy an OEM battery (since it is larger than the one that was in the phone and should be charged) and still the same issue. Phone is rooted and running ParanoidAndroid 2.56. Any suggestions?
Flash means it's booting...
Can you get into download mode while plugged in?

Try booting in recovery mode then erase cache partition, dalvik cache and fix permissions. Hope it works

You can also remove battery, press power button for 10 seconds then put battery back in and turn on your phone!

Same thing here! Wiped battery stats, checked cables, etc... Take phone apart(after cleaning charge port doesnt fix) push all small pins into the back of the charge port evenly.... Plug up charger... If still fail, reflow motherboard with heatgun @ about 500 degrees farenheight

Had similar issue last week when I got a new battery fire my epic, I opened up the back of the phone and popped out the old battery while phone was on, without shutting down phone.
After new battery install all I had was a blue flashing lite and battery charge symbol on screen, phone would not boot . Managed to boot into recovery and wipe all cache and rebooted from recovery. No problem since.
Running stock rooted jb fk23.

I've had this problem with my Galaxy SII before and now experiencing it with my Galaxy Nexus GSM.
Basically what happens is whenever i decide to install a ROM onto my phone it always starts out fresh and fast but after a while, say a couple of days to a week, it ends up being unresponsive to touch (at times) and generally laggy. Recently, i've also noticed that my power button fails most of the time wether that be turning on and off my phone's screen. I've had to use the volume rocker instead to turn on the screen and use my phone.
Problems i can think of include:
Slow response to touch commands
Laggy app launches
Lag between screen swipes
Power button is unresponsive
Random restarts
fails to boot (constantly restarts)
My phone is running ParanoidAndriod 3.50 with Kernel version 3.0.31
Many thanks for your help in advance
*update* After exhausting the battery the phone now fails to turn on. The power button simply doesn't work yet works flawlessly running stock 4.2.2
I think i may of bricked my phone the phone fails to turn on now, even after a full charge. i can see the battery icon displayed while charging showing me its full.
any ideas?
cheers !

Hi all,
I can't power my Note II on when its flat and its connected to the charger. I always have to remove the battery and then switch it on and reconnect the device to the charger..? Whilst its connected I can see the battery icon (whilst the phone is off) but its not doing anything just a static image although the phone is charging.
Not sure if anyone else has had a similar problem. Using the Cyanogen 10.2 rom but had the same problem when I was using HD Revolution.

battery charging animations not showing on AOSP/CM/AOSB/AOKP roms,it's known bug,but as you said phone does charge in the background.and to turn on the phone simply unplug the cable and press and HOLD the power button for about 10 seconds and you'll see the samsung note 2 sign(i would do the same as you before i discovered this trick like remove the battery etc)

it's not good to let your phone die down completely on you everytime charge it when there's still some juice left around 10% or so,turning off the phone and charging should be your last resort but ya let me know if holding the power button for around 10 seconds works for you (charger should be unplugged).
Hey, I've gave that a try today as my phone was flat. Worked a treat thanks for the heads up on that. I bought an Otterbox so didn't want to take it all off to disconnect the battery and reconnect it.

Hi guys,
This morning I powered on my tab, then, after reading some news, I closed the cover lid and when I came back after some minutes my tab won't turn on or charging. Battery is full (charged over night).
I tried power + vol + home: nothing.
My tab: 8.4 lte rooted with Odin, Samsung v2 Rom
What a strange coincidence! Mine too!
My Tab S 8.4 LTE turned off after a complete descharge. I've attached it to charger, without turning it on, and charge beguns.
After a couple of hours I've checked the tab but I've found it completely turned off, no charging animation on power button. I've tried to turn it on but without success.
I've a SuperSamsung V2 ROM also.
What's the f..k????

Thanks God, I've resolved with this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/to-event-soft-brick-disaster-t2838473
1) connect the tab to PC;
2) press Home, Vol Down and Power simultaneously up to a screen appears;
3) press Vol Down to cancel and reboot the tablet.
Now the tablet has rebooted and it works fine!
When I'll be at home I'll try...hope it will work for me also...have you some random reboots while in standby in the past days?
No chance for me...
My Tab S 10.5 Wifi running on stock rom is at reparation center because of the same problem...
Well...After two days...I think the problem is something wrong in battery. My tab was fully charged when this issue happens for the first time. After leaving it alone on the desktop for a day, this morning I connected the tab to my PC for around 30 minutes and the charging battery appears on the screen. I charged for 20 minutes and after I let the tablet discharging. This evening battery was 8% and my tab went to black unresponsive screen. Now I'll try charging to full and after clearing battery stats to see if something change. ..
@kraoc please let me know reparation center diagnosis
Mine has repeated this behaviour several times in the last few days, I've always solved with the procedure in the post #2, but now it keeps irritating. @kraok please let us know diagnosis. @davidebeatrice I don't think so since it has just happened to me while using the tablet with 70% battery.
I was 99% when it happens for the first time...now my tab seems T9 work fine. Let's see when battery will be down down down...?
After two charging-discharging process and finger crossing, I can say that clearing battery stats worked for me.
Hello, I've a similar problem. My rooted Tab S with TWRP doesn't boot anymore, it's stuck at the Samsung logo. However I can get into download mode or shut it down and the loading animation shows. Probably caused by some root stuff I installed because it worked fine before. Any way to fix it via Odin or some other ideas?
Thanks!

If you have access to download... just flash stock rom...
I've had a similar problem:
Screen shows a discharged battery and I can't do anything to it.
No button combination works, plugged or unplugged.
After a while (days) it shut off. I couldn't turn it back on until plugging it, and then the same battery discharged display shows up.
I took it to a service center and they blamed the motherboard, but I had a custom ROM (a version a Cyanogen found here). No fun.
EDIT: FIXED!
I retrieved the tablet before they serviced it, and attempted to repair it myself again with the button combination.
I used the home + vol down + power combo, and then I pugged it in. It went to download mode, then I pressed vol down to restart the tablet.
Method similar to this (but without the need to restore my backup or flash anything):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/to-event-soft-brick-disaster-t2838473
Hope this helps someone else stuck in the same situation.
I had teh same thing happen to my 10" Tab S as well. Took it back to Spring and they immediately replaced it since I had only had it for 7 days tat that point.
Glad you had a new one... And I'm a bit jalous about your issue
Had it for 2 month... Got 2 reply from Samsung: "rooted and can't use warranty" !
But: Flashing your device does not void your statutory warranty - FSFE Legal - http://j.mp/ZIPbWC !!!
Samsung keep to refuse to apply warranty !!!
Hello everybody,
I've sad news from my side...
I've had this problem a few times and I've everytime resolved with the home+vol down+power combo and restarting.
After that I've found evidence on another thread here in XDA that it should be related with battery stats.
After resetting the stats, the problem stopped, up to yesterday night.
I was watching a video on YouTube where the battery goes 0% and the tablet shutdown itself.
So I've attached it to charger and the charge begun (tablet was off, battery charging appears on screen).
This morning I've detached it from charger without checking if it was 100% charged but when I've tried to power it up, I don't get any reaction from the tablet.
The key combo doesn't function anymore. Attach to PC via USB doesn't make it to get recognized. No way out.
Completely dead.
Have you some suggestion/trick I can try before I'll launch it through the window???
Thanks
Antonio

This worked for me, thanks a lot!
Blap017, thanks for your tip!!!
But how can I reach the battery? Has anyone instructions for that?
However I don't think that this is my case. As I've said before, yesterday I've attached the tablet to the charger and it begun to charge.
But I can try your tip, if only I'll found a way to open the tablet.
Thanks!!!
Google how to fix the screen or something of the like..... ifixit usually has a tutorial and the first couple steps will.be removing the batter

Thanks again for your response, blap017
I have good news, however.
Today I've reattached the tablet to the charger and it gets charging.
I've leaved it up to full charge, then I've turned it on and it now it functions well. Thanks God.
But I don't understand why this has happened. Perhaps the SuperSamsung v2 rom messed up battery stats...
Thxs everybody for the support, xda forums are ever a fantastic source of inspiration!!!

My Phone is getting restarted as soon as start any game or sometimes even when I try to unlock it and it get stuck in restart loop (at galaxy note 4 logo itself) until I plug it into a power source.
Also connecting it to laptop usb does not bring it back to normal and I have to use wall charger to start it completely.
Wanted to know if it is a software issue or hardware. Will getting a new battery would do the trick.
PS. I can not visit AT&T store since I am currently not in States.
Usually software.
Had an issue after I installed Chives app.
Phone kept randomly restarting. Uninstalled the app and all good.

Im having the same issue as of yesterday. Its basically stuck in a continuous boot loop and will not stay powered on unless plugged in to a charger or placed on a wireless charger. I have performed a factory reset and it still continued to bootloop after its initial power up. I've removed the microSD card and it still does it. I transferred my SIM into my older S4 until I have this figured out. If plugged into a charger- it functions completely normal. This is a completely stock phone. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Ok guys- taking a shot in the dark, i went ahead and replaced my battery and that fixed my issue. It is not longer rebooting over and over and is operating like normal. Just to verify that an actual repair was made- I reinstalled the original battery and it started to bootloop all over again.
