My phone won't turn back on or charge anymore. The last thing i did was pause Google Music, then the phone just sat there. It wouldn't go to the home screen or anything, it froze. I pulled the battery and now it won't turn on or charge at all. Won't display the battery charging when i have it connected to the computer or wall. Can't enter fastboot either. I'm currently at work and the computers here wont recognize it when i connected via USB.

I doubt it's bricked. Will it start up into the bootloader?
Again, try pulling the battery for a few minutes. Then put everything back together but wait until you have access to a true USB charger, not a USB port on a computer. I've noticed with a few phones in the past (GNex included) that sometimes when I had a bad crash and the phone went unresponsive, that trying to get a hint of life while using a USB port didn't work as well as a charger. You'll probably have to leave it plugged in for a little bit, but after 15-30 minutes you should once again at least get the white battery charging icon to display front-and-center if you give the power button a single push. At that point, try booting into fastboot, then recovery and clean things up a bit before rebooting into android (Wipe Caches, Fix Permissions).
If not, seriously, do everything again, and wait with it charging overnight. I had a similar issue with my Nexus 10 after doing my first unroot and flashing on it. It took nearly an hour, but then I finally got the charging icon (in that case though, a battery pull wasn't feasible).

Yeah i tried all of that since 1 pm yesterday, that's when it just died on me. I have left the phone charging for over an hour and still don't get any sign of life, not even the white battery charging icon. Left the phone charging overnight, that didn't work also. I tried the OMAP fix but that also failed, it isn't recognized by my laptop.
That's a bummer. Once I had an Epic 4G that I also thought was bricked but the "leave it charge overnight" method worked even though the charging led wasn't on at all. I'm surprised that I now have seen an actual thread with a truly bricked device, not the usual "my phone is going into boot loops its bricked!" thread. Sorry to hear it man.
This may be irrelevant to you, but mine is on verizon and was having charging problems. I went into one of their stores and they had a replacement on the way in under 15 minutes of me coming in. Great service from them if that's who you're with carrier-wise.

Everything was working perfectly on mine, the battery was at 80%. I'm with T-Mobile and i know they don't carry the Galaxy Nexus. Would a Verizon store let me check if a new battery will be turn it back on? If not, guess i have no other choice but to call Samsung =/

Hello,
I bought a GN, I9250, European model, made in China 4 days back from a vendor online.
I am having problems charging the phone.
When PHONE is ON
1. When plugged into the included charger/cable, the battery status shows CHARGING (AC) for a few minutes and then changed to NOT CHARGING. Removing the USB plug or switching off the mains and restarting in a minute takes the status back to CHARGING (AC) but again for a few minutes.
2. Tried with multiple chargers and cables with exactly the same results
3. When the phone is connected to USB port in laptop, the charging happens, for a longer duration. The laptop also detects the phone immediately and I can access files etc. After say 20-30 minutes odd the status again goes to NOT CHARGING. However, while the phone is not charging, I can still access files on the phone. This implies the USB connectivity is still perfect, only the charging has stopped.
4. Under no circumstances does the charge go beyond 50% odd, irrespective of the duration of charging
When PHONE is OFF
1. The phone shows the battery icon with bolt for a few seconds and then shuts off. If I click the power button briefly I can see the battery charging icon.
2. I kept the phone in charging with the wall adapter all night, and got 49% charge only, starting from about 10% when put to charge.
The battery indicator graph shows the phone is has never hit a charge level above 65% types.
I have not seen the other charging issue of the phone showing a bolt in the battery icon even if the phone is not plugged in ! (thank god!!!)
I bought it "as new" condition, and performed a factory reset immediately on receiving the phone. So its running stock applications, with almost everything except voice and 2g data on. No applications except Whatsapp are running.
All other aspects of functionality are working well.
I have read hundreds of posts across the web and am not sure what the problem could be with my phone. I am in India and since the phone was bought off the net, its unlikely that it will be provided warranty etc here. In fact I'm not even sure if there will be servicing competency in the technicians here.
I have tried to puch the micro USB tongue by pushing it upwards gently, but cannot really say whether or not it did bend or i was just too fearful. Have tried removing battery etc and all other soft methods written everywhere.
Any help ???

Hello,
I do suspect it myself, but I don't know how to verify this. Can any other Samsung phone battery be put in the phone or is the phone compatible only with this one? Getting another battery is not possible in the near future since this is not available in India...
Any thoughts on how to check this?

I have the same problem, but it's not the battery's fault. My brother also has a GNex, and I tried charging my phone with his battery, and vice-versa, without any luck. I think it's the USB port's fault. Something about power not getting to the phone correctly. Luckily I bought it at a store here. I talked to the owner, and I'm going to exchange it for a new one tomorrow.

Hello,
I found another GN and did this experiment.
1. When I plugged in my battery which was showing 53% on my phone into the other phone it showed 79%.
2. When I charged the other GN with my battery inside, it charged to 100%
3. When I put my battery back into my phone, it showed 67%
4. When I put in the other GN battery into my phone it showed 49%, while it was showing 82% in the other GN.
5. I was able to charge this other battery in my phone to 60%.
6. When I put it back into the other GN it showed 94% charge.
Apparently my battery seems to be ok. Also, it seems that my phone is charging ok too. But there may be a problem with the phone detecting the battery level !!
Any thoughts?
Hello,
i have exact the same problem. I tried 3 batteries a lot of chargers and i changed the Charging Port Flex Cable.
This all without success
The Problem is, sometimes it charge to 50%, the most it charge to 75% and one time i get it to 81% yeah
So does it give any help for this Problem ?

your battery got data detected.. maybe this 3800mah extended battery was totally crap.
give 2-3 day period. charge wt ac plug & usb charging method. see if got any different between this 2 merhod. if not, try buy the good replacement before your emmc fried.
* maybe u should ask to another forum.. gnex accessories /batteries. they must be got some experiences wt this type of extended batteries. maybe.??
Hello everyone,
i was playing real racing 3 on my gn2 and had 10% battery, wanted to charge it and realized it was not charging anymore . turned off, took battery out waited a bit, tried again but no luck. tried with another charger, no luck. tried with usb cable through pc but got again the same result. phone was not recognizing any cable connection and after trying all these i was only 4% on the battery now. found out it was a hardware problem and googled the net, saw many entries about (not) charging problem and decided to send to service but it was not possible for me to flash any stock firmware since usb connection was not possible. i couldnt do anything else because battery left was only 3% then...
so i had to send it to service as is... and of course they denied repairing it within warranty as they found the custom binary count and asked for 243 euro to repair it
now i will get the phone back, of course un-repaired and i ordered an external battery charger. i will be able to reset the binary count by using triangle away but i cant use any software (odin, kies... ) to install back the official firmware.
now my question is; is there anyway for me to install stock rom on it(maybe mobile odin??) or to send it again to service after resetting the binary count and pray for them not to save my imei number and not check my firmware on the phone but to check only the binary count???
thanks in advance
you could Flash the stock Firmware from Mobile Odin and and user Triangle away .it will show as Official , after that do a Factory reset so it would remove all the Root folders.
Here is the link
N7100XXDMC3 N7100DBTDMB1 - Germany Download here- India Original Source
I don't believe it is simple charging issue, if so USB port is hardly costing >10$
they gave you estimate 243 euro, simply suggests you needs Mobo replacement.
Anyway try managing foe extra battery and check whether it device boots normally OR do you able to flash anything.

thanks a lot for the answer, i will first use triangle away, i guess it requires root so after flashing official firmware it wouldnt be possible, then the stock rom via mobile odin.
thanks a lot buddy..

at first,thanks for the answer,
device was working correctly before sending it to service everything was fine apart from usb connection issue. would u suggest me to buy the usb port and replace it by myself if they again dont repair it?
First try getting battery charged, then it will be easy to diagnose whether it is usb issue or something else.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Possibilities are if you replace it yourself locally then you will Void your warranty so better to try all other Possible ways
this may sound a bit stupid but it happened to me once.
i wanna as OP... after completely draining ur batt... u plug it in to charge for how long?
here's what happened to me. forgot to charge my phone overnight... went to work with 40% charge... by 1pm totally drained my battery. i was on field that day with no access to charger and constantly on the go from 1 customer's place to the next... only managed to charge it when i got home at 10pm.
after i plug it in... totally no reaction. as if charger is not functioning. i left it plugged in.. after 5 minutes or so (im not sure how long.. i went for a shower) when i got back to my room i see it charging with the red battery on the screen... after it got to around 30% i switched it on and let it continue to charge overnight.
so y not try plugging it in to charger a bit longer... see if it starts to charge. it worked for me.
for my case, to prevent this from happening again i got myself this
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-H1J9VMAGSTA
but i got mine in white. comes with an extra original battery. so in the event i forgot to charge it overnight i can quickly swap the battery.
give it a try. no harm trying

thanks buddy, got myself an external charger with an extra battery already, so lets see
I have had my LT28h Xperia ION for about 1 year now, but as of last week it seems to have developed a fault. I have tried the usual hard resets, wiping the phone of all data etc and restarting completely fresh, but to no avail.
Every so often (usually when the battery gets below 70%, the phone spontaneously does what looks a like a soft reset. What I mean by this is the screen cuts out, then 2 seconds later the phone restarts itself, loading through the 'SONY' screen etc until it reboots. I would have normally said that I think the phone is simply restarting itself, but it looks more like a soft reset because whenever i purposefully soft reset my phone (power/up buttons for 5 seconds) the screen cuts to black, but does so by fading the screen to black, going through a yellowy/orange colour (as if the LCD screen is bleeding)... This is what the screen does whenever it does this restart too, leading me to think it is a soft reset.
Sometimes when the phone restarts, it says the battery has 1% left, although there is well over 50% (if i turn the phone off manually and turn on again, sometimes it will say the true 50-70% battery status) and sometimes it says it has the correct battery %.
It usually does these restarts when I am doing something, like taking a photo/video or using an 'intensive app'.
I am using the latest 4.1.2 official OTA software, with a rooted phone (I have tried removing the root, but it still has the same problem so re-rooted it).
If anyone has a similar problem, or knows something I don't, I would be very grateful for your replies. I am praying it is not the battery, as ION's have stupid 'non-removable' battery's, and I don't know if I can be bothered taking apart the phone etc...
Thanks in advance

I have tried factory resetting, Flashing a new FTF with flashtool and still it keeps soft resetting. It does seem like a battery problem, so I drained it completely of all charge, then plugged it in to the wall charger over night. Now all it does when plugged in to charge is strange:
Red LED comes on as if it is charging, then 5 seconds later the LED turns off, phone starts to boot (screen comes on but does not even reach the 'SONY' bootup screen), then after 2 seconds it turns off again... then the red LED comes on again for 5 seconds, turns off, screen comes on for 2 seconds, then it turns off again... repeat...
I am going to leave it plugged in to see if it eventually reboots, but if anyone has any ideas that may help, I would be gratefull!
(P.S. I have tried hard resetting, and hard powering off by holding power and +volume key for 5 and 10 seconds respectively, but it just restarts back into this loop)
thanks
Bump... Phone has charged for 2 days straight, it stays on a solid red light, and it is completely unresponsive when unplugged.
When it is plugged in, I can try and do the hard reset, but it then just goes into the same loop as before. chargind (red LED), then not charging/booting up for 2 seconds, then restarts to charging etc...
It just doesn't seem to be able to get enough charge from the wall charger to fill the battery enough for the kernel to kick in..
A little update, after fiddling around with button combinations (this time by holding power/volume up/volume down all at once), I can get the phone to be recognised by the computer as an SEMC Flash Device by device manager. When I open up flashtool though it says:
-Device Connected with USB Debugging off
-For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
This is odd because I always have USB debugging ON.
I cannot do anything with the device in Flashtool, OR Sony PC Companion, and I cannot boot into fastboot/flashmode at all, the phone is still just unresponsive to volume down when I plug into the computer, and also volume up etc...
Looks like my phone is completely bricked! Booooo
Any advice would be met with smiley emoticons!!!
It is the battery
Hi, I had exactly the same issue, the phone used to restart like a soft reset, then it came nack with only 1% of battery.
As Sony only knows to say "Repair the soft with PC Companion" which obiously is not the problem, I decided to buy a brand new battery considering that I am from Panama, and I had to buy it through ebay, the location of the item was China, so I had to way 1 month to get my battety.
I changed it, and tataaan the phone worked without any problem... I sold it a week later. But yes dude it is the battery I can tell u for sure it is 100% the battery

Well it doesn't sound like the same problem as mine, but I just changed my battery (it's quite fiddly, but if you are good with your hands, you can follow step by step guides on youtube), and then it worked perfectly! It is most likely your battery.... FYI you can get Android 4.4 kitkat now for your ion.. I have it, its great... just search the forums!

So, what's a good price to pay for a battery? And, how long did it take to get it?

Pretty sure I got mine from Amazon (it was ages ago, I forget) but i know you can get them from eBay too, just use some common sense and google it .
I got mine form hong kong in about 1 week along with a set of tools.. Managed to change the battery in under 30 mins.

Thanks for the tip on the tools. Just ordered one from China thru eBay for $25 CAD with shipping. There are cheaper ones, but no tools.

hi,
i have the same issue....can anybody tell me the reliable link to order a battery for my xperia ion LT28i.....
i got confused when tried to search on google...
i am fron Mumbai, India....
and also tell me if its easy to change the battery myself......from the youtube videos it looks like i have to dissamble the phone totally.....this is terrifying for me as i am not an engineer (i am a doctor)?
any video link which shows how to replace battery easily.....without dissambling that much of things....?
Not easy to change, but possible if you follow the youtube video.
I received the battery in exactly 3 weeks and took about an hour to change. I tore the audio jack from the sim card module so I was without sound until I replaced that part as well. Be careful.
There is an issue with the charging system of this phone. My new battery is starting to fail, I think. It has difficulty accepting a charge if I let it go down to 1%.
I have another year on contract so I'm thinking of buying another new battery.
This is obviously a defect.

I had 7% battery and was on call, phone had shutdown suddenly and won't turn on or CHARGE.
When I press power button it just vibrates Twice. I had connected charger but it won't charge.
Besides it vibrates continuously every few (2-3) minutes (even without doing anything.).
I tried the following.
1). Charged overnight and tried on....Didnt work.
2). Opened the back panel and removed battery to mother board connection few times and connected back......it just vibrates . that's it
Pls help! Its out of warranty.

Let me know hoe it goes, because Im having the exact issue. I tried the steps from sukhwant717, but getting stopped at the step when it goes to the OS. Will keep my phone to charge for a few hours. I observe, that there is no heating up (battery), but will keep it for charging anyways.
Cheers

Thanks man....I did actually fix the phone...your awesome.....
It went something like this...
First phone refused to turn on....no charging light notification..it keeps vibrating.
Even @sukhwant717 method stopped at "os" thing.
After exhausting all option taken to a local service person who did something and told phones dead.
After coming home I have checked He RIPPED /SNAPPED ANTENNA cable.
I didn't bother much as phone was prononced dead!
After 30 to 40 days was casually reading @sukhwant717 thread and thought of trying again. I coonected charger and SUDDENLY I SAW ASUS BOOT SCREEN and phone was showing BATTERY WITH QUESTION MARK. I let it charge for sometime suddenly bootloader screen appeared but was not entering into recovery.(perhaps damaged bootloader , recovery).
Then I followed sukhwant717 method flashed bootloader and RAW image using ADB.
and phone RESURRECTED but with very low siganl.
It's due to RIPPED antenna cable.
And was getting good reception on 2nd SIM (perhaps uses different antenna/cable)
So I decided to order new Antenna Flex Cable but it's not available in India. So I went to ASUS SERVICE CENTER (near Brandfactory) in Hyderabad
and asked them the cost of Flex Cable, they said they won't sell spares...I have to RMA.
So I did and after two days I have received a call from them that "ITS FAULTY MOTHERBOARD" and will cost 11000 INR (USD 170, seriously ASUS),I said I rather want my phone in previous condition. I even told them to fix antenna cable ...I will manage.
They said their "TESTING SOFTWARE " failing device test even after connecting antenna cable.so they can't sell a part for a TEST FAILED device.
I told them it's because I had unlocked bootloader..the test is failing.they didn't have a clue abt bootloader unlcoking.
So again went to local market for the cable found A cable (though lil longer) and got it fixed for about 300INR ($5).
and got back the reception and typing with LTE connection on ZF2.
Thanks again @sukhwant717 ...
My observations: the issue could be due to
1) it's battery related issue (completely drained bir failed battery)
2) damaged bootloader
The people who have similar problem should leave the phone uncharged for 30 to 40 days even more and connect the charger and see if u see battery with ? Mark.
Or if new battery is available change battery and check....

if you need antenna cable i can send you. but before that. send me pics of motherboard where antenna connector sits. don't ever believe local and service center guys. they are dumb enough to ruin things.

I had 7% battery and was on call, phone had shutdown suddenly and won't turn on or CHARGE.
When I press power button it just vibrates Twice. I had connected charger but it won't charge.
Besides it vibrates continuously every few (2-3) minutes (even without doing anything.).
I tried the following.
1). Charged overnight and tried on....Didnt work.
2). Opened the back panel and removed battery to mother board connection few times and connected back......it just vibrates . that's it
Pls help! Its out of warranty.

I had a similar problem, phone suddenly powered itself off and started vibrating. With the phone off and connecting the charger it started to charge, but after a while it started vibrating and overheating. I did a factory reset but the problem persisted. I flashed the raw firmware and it behaved properly for a while, but a few days ago the phone died. It does not turn on, does not charge, screen never turns on, no notification light, no vibration. But if connected to the charger it gets hot.
Left the mobile alone and tried to plug in after 35 days, IT WORKED. At first nothing happened but left it in charge for few hours. Later the mobile came back to life when I tried to turn it on..... 3 days in and still working just like it used to.... will have to take care not to let the battery drain below 20%
I am having same issue .. did you get it resolved ? Any luck ?
hello i'm having the same problem
will this method ensure that my data won't be lost?
