My Galaxy Note (SM-P605) a couple of months ago started playing up on me....it would randomly shut down while I was using it, this could happen using any app and happen at any time, after using if for a couple of minutes to an hour...anyway, in the end the time that it would shut down became quicker and it now wont boot up at all...I have attached the charger and there is nothing, no lights, nada...
So, can anyone enlighten me as to what it may be? Could it be that the battery has shat itself? I have removed the back cover to inspect it and it looks normal, not like in some videos on Youtube where the battery itself has "pufffed up"...this I guess indicates a battery that has snuffed it
Any help appreciated...
cheers

I was using my nexus on facebok last night with a virtually full battery when fb stopped responding and a few seconds later the phone just switched off.I tried to restart it it but it would not come back on.I tried al combinations of buttons to try and reset but still nothing.I plugged the charger in to try,nothing.I left it on the side board,I forgot to leave the charger in all night.got up this morning plugged it in the charger and it turned on,left it for 5 mins unplugged the charger and it turned itself straight off again.I have a feeling that my battery has just instantly died,the phone is only about 3 weeks old at the moment.I will be charging it for a few hrs and see if it will come back alive.Fingers crossed it will.Its strange to go from a full battery to off in an instant.
Err did you try to pull the battery when the phone originally crashed.

I didn't pull out the battery as i didnt think it was nessasary.After a few hrs charge it came back on but it is worrying that this could have happened to such a new phone
This happened to my first nexus. Totally just randomly died.
I returned it as faulty.

Basically what happened was that when your phone "died" it actually stayed on but became unresponsive. Because you just left it for the whole night it drained the battery dry which is why you found it like that the next day.
Anyway next time when your phone crashes just do a battery pull and it should fix itself. The crash seems to be a common ICS bug and a few people have reported it. (including me) Hopefully Google fixes it soon.

it's not just because it's a nexus. it's been an issue with various android-based phones over the years. granted, not a common one... just somehow something 'screws up' and you have to do a battery pull to reset the issue.
I've run android for a while now and have had various lock ups, but this was totally different. It actually locked up and turned off and no matter what buttons for reset or just a normal boot would do anything the battery was totally flat and only a charge would do anything.i could not even boot into recovery as it was flat. Its going back fire a replacement in the next few days
One thing I have noticed since it happened is the battery life has gone terrible in that it is draining very very quickly yet nothing has changed on my phone

I experienced this too yesterday. I was on call with headset and I had USB plug. Suddenly phone call ends and phone was dead. I have unplug from USB and pull battery.
Mine did exactly this while on charge last night. Pulled the battery and it fired up straight away. Second time its crashed since i got it. My iphone 4 only crashed once in the 18 months i had it. Guess android isnt as stable yet.
Happened to me yesterday, and then wouldn't charge. Did a battery pull then put it on to charge. When I got it back on checked Battery temp and it was 45C I think that was the issue. after half hour it was down to 31C.
Omg.. something like the G2X random reboots?
I just experienced the same problem. Using my phone and it just went black. First thought was to try powering it on. No luck. Second thought, pull the battery. No luck. Went back to my desk and plugged it into USB so it would charge. No indication it is charging. Tried turning it on. No luck. Leaving it for an hour or more and will see if that does the trick.
Googling to find this thread I actually found dozens of threads on various sites talking about this issue. Hopefully it is a bad batch of devices and quality control has rectified the situation.
Anyone have any successful resolution to this issue? I've been using my phone for around a month now.
Where to begin....my phone would last about 9hr before this issues started happening. For some odd reason my indicator LED light won't shut off I had to download an app to turn it off. When I try to turn of the phone It will automatically turn on again but before it does it goes to the charging screen even thought the phone is not plug to an outlet. It all started happening after I used my friends LG charger i'm thinking maybe I damage something.

Judging by the screenies it looks like the battery is to blame. Those spikes are definetly not normal.

Definitely not normal. Get BetterBatteryStats and see if you have a wakelock

Looks like the phone isn't correctly reading the battery.
However, the symptom of the phone going into charging when off when it's not plugged in (phone thinking it's charging) is pretty common with the Samsung Replenish, and is almost always an indicator of a bad charging port. This could also explain the LED not going out (ie charging). We see it in our store alot. Your battery dying in 3 hours would make sense, as the phone isn't charging the battery correctly in this scenario.

I agree.. it seems to be the charging port on the phone. My wife's phone had a very similar problem. Her screen would turn on by itself, the led light would stay on all day, and battery only lasted about 2 hours. It would always freeze up too once in a while and when you turn it back on, the battery drained like 20% in a span of 5 mins. Her battery stats look very similar to yours, with all the spikes. On top of that, her phone kept going into driving mode or voice talk randomly. Her phone was rooted with the auto root procedure. I wanted to back up her phone with TiB regularly and put on adblock.. but otherwise everything was stock on her phone.
What I ended up doing was a factory reset. That cleared up the freezing issue and the screen turning on and off, but the battery stuff was still acting the same. I did a battery pull over night and cleaned the contacts of the charging port of the phone with a very small q-tip and toothpick. I also cleaned the battery terminals as well for good measure. Put the battery back on the phone and charged to full while the phone was off. First thing I did when I turned on the phone was to download the battery calibrator app and run the calibration. Her phone has been back to normal now for almost 3 weeks.

Are you in a damp/humid area? I know my phone did that sometimes too during humid summer days. It's completely fine in any other condition though, especially during this colder winter.

i'm not in a damp/humid area, my wife and I have the same phone. Mine has been okay with minimal issues. Although now that I think about it, she did spill some water on the table with her phone near by a week before her phone start acting up. She had a TPU case which protected it from most of the water, but maybe some of it got in through the headphone jack or charging port??
to the OP: maybe you can try this battery calibration method as well. Some people have reported success with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312273
Hi all,
It's my first times posting on the forum so please don't eat me be cruel if I'm doing something wrong.
So I haven't been using my nexus 7 for about the past month and today I went to use it and nothing happened, so I put it on the charger assuming it was the battery was flat and about 30 seconds after plug the notification light started to slowly blink so I assumed all was well. Anyway, long story short, After 6 hours of having it on the charge the screen hasn't powered on and I swear I heard the battery low chime a couple of times. Anyway if you guys have any idea's to fix this that would be great!
Cheers!:laugh:

If the led blinks when plugged in, it indicates that the charging circuit is working. But from 0%, it takes an overnight charging with some to get enough juice. If it still wouldn't budge, the battery is dead. You won't get any display. Replace the battery might be your only option. Good luck.
Greetings, I have a bit of an issue with my tablet and it's most likely a hardware one.
About two days ago I had my tablet completely discharged and I put it on the charger. I saw the battery and lightning screen and left it for about a day.
Then yesterday I wanted to watch a movie on it and so I reached for it and all it had was a black screen. I thought that it must have charged up completely, so I pulled it out of the charger and started it up.
It then went as far as the Samsung logo and 20-30 seconds afterwards it shut down. I thought that maybe my ROM became faulty or smth and tried to boot into TWRP. Same thing.
Booting into the Bootloader worked but at one point the screen started rapidly changing its brightness. And it again turned off after a couple of seconds.
I tried this several times, connecting it to the wall charger or my laptop but every time it turned on for only a couple of seconds and now it has completely died off. No matter with which cable, charger or power source I try to charge it, it doesn't light up at all. Power button and combinations with volume buttons don't do anything.
A bit of info about the device: It's about 2 years old running the latest LineageOS. Roughly 1 year ago it suffered a drop and the screen got cracked. I ended up buying a spare screen from China and gave it to a hardware specialist to install it. (Samsung doesn't really have representatives near me, so that was the easiest option) Ever since then the speakers have always been a lot quieter and worse-quality but everything else worked fine.
I believe that somehow the charging circuit fried itself and now the battery has died off. Is that even possible? I haven't charged it with any unknown wall chargers or anything that could fry it. Can someone please help me fix this problem since I have no idea where to start?
Thanks in advance...
You might want take a look to this topic of mine. Not exactly the same problem but the resolution might apply to yours as well.

Thanks for the suggestion, but your tablet can at least boot. Mine can't, which is the issue and it doesn't charge at all when off.
That's why I pointed you to open it and resettle all the cables, as I did. The problem is different but the solution might be the same...

I can't read -.-
Will check this in a moment...
Starting yesterday, my phone began shutting down (seemingly) randomly. Sometimes it would be fine for a few hours, other times it has shut down from simply moving it/putting it in my pocket. There have also been multiple times where it has re-shut down while booting up. The battery charge seems to not matter.
I just booted it into safe mode about half an hour ago and its been fine so far. However, I don't think its an installed app because the phone has worked fine with the same apps for months. Also, I'm not sure an app is the source of the issue if Android wasn't even started. Maybe I'm just being stupid, though.
Any ideas on what the issue could be would be greatly appreciated, though I've been looking for an excuse to buy a new phone anyways, so its not the end of the world if it doesn't work out.
*Edit* Seems like it stays on while charging but when unplugged powers off randomly again.
Wild ass first guess - failing battery.

Thats what I'm thinking now too. Just wasn't the first thing I thought of since it started out of nowhere.

Maybe the battery is not well connected to the board? Just a guess

Also a very valid possibility. However, I'm not sure if this explains how sometimes I can turn the phone right back on again immediately and other times when I plug it in it just flashes the low battery light at the top of the phone and/or does nothing when power button is pressed until two hours later when it randomly turns on from holding the power button for a full minute.
I think I just need to take it into a shop. ?
