Sitting at the laundromat, watching a video that I downloaded thru the facebook app, all of a sudden the screen goes black. Thinking it went into sleep, I pressed the power, no response. I press and hold the power button, screen is still black, but this time it gives a haptic feedback. I press and hold again, it does the same thing. I removed the battery, waited a few secs, replaced the battery, and tried to power on, I still get the black screen and haptic feedback. Every time I press and hold the power button, screen remains black, no leds, with haptic feedbacks. I never dropped or water damaged the phone. Seems I may have received a defective unit. Production date on my box reads 09/28/2011. This phone is returning 1st thing in the morning!
Did you try to recharge the battery? That might be the problem

Try booting with sdcard and simcard off and see if that helps. If not you might need to return it..

I forgot to mention this, but yes I did try plugging into an outlet. It was still a no-go. The charging battery meter didnt even show.

How about restoring it to recovery settings? Boot via holding the both volume keys and power then clear data and dav.

have you tried removing the battery, plug usb cable computer to phone with battery removed, then putting battery in?

When I tried this, the samsung logo kept flickering very quickly along with a haptic feedback, but would not go into recover.

Yea its a possible brick. Restoring it might have done something... did you wait for it to get to recovery?

i would agree with this wise decision as well
i might be a Samsung hard core fan, but this is definitely signs of a defective unit
This might be a Samsung thing, cause my old Galaxy Tab used to do this once in a while too.
Has anyone else had the production date of 9/28/11 on their phone package?

This is what I discovered today......after the fiasco, I left my phone turned off while charging overnivht. Started my day off with a full 100% charge. I use bluetooth with my car stereo, and occasional talking. 2hrs into my day, I noticed that I still had a complete charge. Few hours more pass, still a complete charge after web browsing and everything else. I found this to be kinda odd considering my usage. I decided to reboot, and lo and behold, after reboot, my battery indicated less than 50% charge! With that being said, leads me to believe that actually my phone wasn't really bricked last night. More so, my battery gave the wrong readings, and while I'm watching videos, thinking that I have enough juice to do so, actually it didn't, which lead to the sudden shut off. I think my battery completely discharged without me knowing it.

Yea, eff the red pixel. Ill exchange it 1 more time before my 14 days.
I got my GN at the London Launch yesterday. I was 3rd in the queue but the guy messed up the system so a few people got one before me
Ive noticed a couple of things.
Once the battery has reached 100% on charger it starts to go down again... Now im not sure if this is because the battery is still new or not but its very odd behaviour.
Ive tried leaving it on charge for a while and once it went up to 100% it started to go down till it reached 97%
I did (By Accident) fail to charge the battery fully the first time so im worried this may have caused the issue
2nd Issue that ive noticed is when using face unlock there is a few seconds delay from when the lockscreen comes up and when the camera actually switches on. Im sure that in all the videos everywhere that it's almost instant.
Anyone else notice these things or is mine playing up?
The battery thing is on purpose I have an EVO 3d and a vivid and the go down to 95 and back to 100...

The battery thing is intentional. It is actually recommended not to leave charged phone on charger. Once it is fully charged, it 'stops charging' for a short while for that reason.

It depends what you mean by instant, but I wouldn't say its as long as a few seconds, maybe 1/2 a second for the camera to display then another 1/2 to 1 second to unlock from there.

It is very likely that they did (at least more recent phones) and you didn't know about it. The 'charged' icon could have easily stayed there until phone is unplugged.
Guys if you have it already could compare Sound quality with iphone or galaxy s phones with wolfson DAC's. How does the music player sound( i come from galaxy s2 with yamaha chip). I want buy this if the music player sounds good.
I was looking at the battery history graph just now and realized that there's a black gap on the graph. I can't figure out why that gap was there - my phone was on all the time and I hadn't suffered a sleep of death today. It looked like the battery recorder just had a blackout or something. Can someone explain that to me please? Thank you.
Means ur phone was booting.
Or it was off. Lol
Bored or an actual question.

If you actually read he said it was never off.
"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."
Oh wait I I read. I dunno.
If you were in CWMR then it does that.
Hi,
Maybe you don't see it (while you did not use it) but it's like a reboot,saw your graph you did not used continuously so maybe you have not paid attention to a reboot.
I mean a random reboot.
In any case,for me,each time I have this kind of thing it was due to a reboot.

Dude me and you are always answering questions alot together. Lol
Ah, the reboot explanation makes sense.
But then, doesn't the blackout period seem a little too long for a reboot? The battery curve dropped roughly 5% and it changed from green to yellow. I somehow expected that if a reboot was to cause a gap on the curve, it wouldn't cause a significant drop in battery level.

System crashed. It drains alot of battery when it reboots. A normal one takes 2%. Plus it's best to to turn it off and reboot if it does this. It could happen again If you don't.
I might also guess that with a random reboot, a few minutes of battery history might have been cached but not yet written to battery stats. So that'd increase the gap.

If you plug your phone into a charger or computer while on it will show that gap. Perhaps you were copying music or a soon-to-be-flashed ROM onto your phone for a few minutes.
Hello Xda,

Those spikes seem to happen to a lot of these things.
With the first pic, what are you doing during those times of excess battery use? Are you using the device at all?

Those upward curves looks like you would have been on USB and it would have charged a bit!
Quick question regarding those pics. If I check the battery stats on my Galaxy S 3 it shows when it is active, but on my Nexus 10 and 7 the "awake" bar is always empty.

I only charge once to 100% and let it go to 0.. Never put it into Usb. only when it aprox 10%... so that cant be it.
Re-Calibrate

This happens with a lot of devices, as said above, you shouldn't have to worry about it though. Possibly try re-calibrating your battery, for some people this supposedly helps and you never know. I'd recommend the app "Battery Dr. Saver" for some help with this here's the URL: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.lepeng.batterydoctor&hl=en

Thats true, but there is something wrong in my nexus still and i want a 100% functional item. So i'm thinking about sending it back.
I've just received it in the post. Just trying to figure out the instructions.
Once plugged in i have a solid red light and a flashing blue light.
I assume this means charging the battery bank?
What does the silver button actually do?
Thanks

If not plugged in it will shut down in about 15 sec. after you take your phone off.
Thanks, it's finally charged so I can play around now! It was completely dead when it arrived and first charge took hours!

So far..... I've not tried it. Lol. It recommends fully charge the unit before starting to use in the instructions so i left it on all night charging. I'll give it a try later after work tho!

Unwired it charges the battery quickly. I've used it a few times. I'm now trying to charge the battery pack. Says to charge until the blue lights stop blinking. Wow this could take for ever
Does anyone tried it with a case on the Nexus 5?

I've got two. One was never used. Took bout an hour to get a full change. (No flashing blue lights.) The other I have used a few times to top up the phone. I never did fully charge this one before use. Been charging for quite awhile now.
I left it on overnight! Lol

I doesn't take long to charge the battery pack if you have a good power supply to plug it into. I am using a 12w usb charging adapter and it seems to work fine. Phone charges quickly wirelessly haven't tried wired much except to see that it does work. Also both work at the same time! I am liking it but have only had it a couple of days so far.
Almost forgot the manual is horribly written, truly the worst manual I have ever personally seen. It looks like it was written by a 10 year old kid whose second language is English. It probably even worse than a google translation! LOL In fact I would almost bet thats what they did to write the Engrish part.

How about NFC, still works very well? I ordered a spigen ultra hybrid...
Also NFC tags are on the way, I probably will buy also the Lugulake one...

I wouldn't know about NFC. How do I check that?
I'm on my second Lugulake after the first one stopped charging after 3 days. The wifi worked but the battery would not hold a charge. They sent me a replacement unit.
I got mine through Amazon.
The unit works great as it has a good surface area, and using the usb cable, I'm able to plug it into my cigarette lighter in my car to charge wirelessly. I like the fact I can unplug and essentially still have a charging I can take anywhere without a plug.
The only gripe I really have is for a 70 dollar item, it feels flimsy. It's made of all plastic and it feels more like a 30 dollar item.
I'll be able to test it out further during the Thanksgiving holidays to make sure this isn't another faulty unit.
