Hey all. I now have an imported Galaxy Nexus that won't turn on, here's what happened...
I bought the phone back in April and haven't had a single problem with it until now. On this past Monday I woke up, got ready for work and unplugged my fully charged GNex from my wall charger as I do every morning. On my way to work I popped my GNex into the Samsung car dock to listen to music as I do every morning. When I got to work I popped out my GNex from the dock and sat at my desk for a while. I went to check something on my phone and it felt kinda hot, I thought nothing of it and kept working. Maybe 10 minutes later I checked if it was still hot and it was, uncomfortably hot, and the battery was at like 40% (this was about 40 minutes after I took it out of the car dock).
This made me think that by some chance a program was running crazy in the background, so I restarted my phone. Booted back up, plugged it into a wall charger I have at my desk, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. I then picked it back up and it was still burning hot, now I shut it down again, unplugged it, and pulled the battery out until it cooled down (about another 10 minutes).
Now I popped the battery back in and booted it up. Starts to get hot again and now the battery is at 4%. At this point I think "WTF..." and turn the phone off and let it sit there with the battery in. Keep it in there until the battery completely discharges (the phone isn't hot anymore) thinking that maybe it's having trouble reading the battery stats idk no big deal right? Turns out no, very big deal.
Let it sit there for an hour with no battery in it, then plugged it in and tried to power it on. Nothing. Pulled the battery, popped it back in, and let it sit with the charger in it for 30 minutes. Nothing. The phone isn't getting hot at this point like it was. So I try all the button combinations with the volume buttons and power buttons and still nothing. Even when I plug the phone in the charging battery animation doesn't show up.
When I leave it plugged into the wall charger now, the phone gets a little warm as you'd expect when you charge your phone, not hot like before. I took the phone apart and saw nothing wrong with it, but then again I'm not a hardware guy so I took it to a phone repair shop. He took a look at it and couldn't find anything weird with it either (besides it doesn't work).
In this mess I tried to contact Samsung and take advantage of my "International" warranty but no dice as I'm sure most of you know (this is my $450 lesson). Samsung USA said they won't even fix it if I pay them, I have to do it through Samsung UK which is a nightmare.
The last kick to floor was seeing my credit card charged for the desk dock that I ordered a week before the day this happened. I've ordered a new battery on the off chance that maybe that's the problem, if not I'll be buying another GNex with a US Warranty from the Play Store.
Any bits of hope anyone has for me? Is it even worth my while to ship it off to another phone repair store that says they can "fix it no problem"? Sorry for the long post, everyone always says to post as much detail as possible so I did!! lol. Thanks for reading!!
In the same boat, my Nexus just died today. It is completely unresponsive. Plugging the phone into the computer with no battery will not display any OMAP hardware.
hmm I'm wondering now what is the reason? is it 4.0.4 update? my phone is getting warm after the update too, and the cpu consumes 30% power. but its not too hot, only one area, on the virtual SD card area.
where did you order your GN from? depending on which website... they may "fulfill" your warranty if you're within their warranty time frame.

Off an Amazon retailer, I already checked and they said no :-( I should be getting this battery soon, hopefully that fixes it. I highly doubt it though.
Good news, the website I got mine from(Dailysteals) is willing to do an exchange or refund for me. Surprisingly, I didn't even have to go through a lot of trouble for them to issue an RMA for me. I just had to explain my situation with them about Samsung USA/UK unwillingly to repair the phone.

Nice! When did you buy it from them?
Mine just bit the dust today as well. Just contacted Handtec and hoping they'll warranty it. It was running just fine up until today and now ODIN won't write to NAND. The same thing that happened in this thread is what happened to my phone:

When I bought it, I remembered that it says 1 year warranty in the description. I mentioned this to them when I explain to them that I can't get it repaired by either Samsung USA/UK.

I just hope Handtec covers it. I've never dealt with their warranty before and I've been trying to find if anyone had any experiences with it. I remember people saying they'd cover it for 24 months which is why I went with them in the first place.

Good luck, they probably updated the warranty thing after the March sale because of the confusion with the warranty status.
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great success!!!!!!!! My extended battery just came in the mail and that was indeed the problem. WTF!? Never had that happen to me with a phone before. Totally didn't think that was gonna help lol.

Absolutely. I replaced the batter with the official Samsung extended 200mAh and it turned on, funny thing is though that the same thing is happening again...it still turns on but it's getting super hot and draining almost instantly. The phone shows that it's plugged into power but it says under the battery option that the device is not charging, weird. This is what it shows my battery stats as:

The first death drop in charge is when this all started, the second one is what's happening now. It seems to be charging okay now via PC USB which doesn't make sense to me, cause I tried my wall charger and my car charger earlier and it got super hot and said it wasn't charging.
My phone is getting hot right around the area of the "Texas Instruments TWL6030 Fully Integrated Power Management with Switch Mode Charger" as seen here:

I see. So your phone is draining the battery and not charging at all. Have you considered doing a factory reset? Maybe invest in a battery charger for the time being until the phone starts to charge the phone properly.
Oh, just a follow up on my situation. My NAND is still broken beyond repair. Tried ODIN, OMAP flash, different USB cables, drivers and nothing will write to the NAND. I contacted Handtec and they told me to RMA it to them. So I'm gonna be doing that some time this week. They want original box and everything that came with the phone so I'm trying to gather all of that before I ship it to them. Hopefully the turn around will be quick cause this Galaxy S (which also had a NAND hardware failure and repaired once by Samsung then failed again) is getting old quick.
Hi all, I'm pretty lost here. My Note II (N7100) suddenly won't charge. Earlier today it charged just fine. I've only ever run stock with root on it. It's not the charger, it's not the cable. I've tried many of both, all of which worked before, none of which work now. I flashed back to stock recovery and did a factory reset, and the problem persists.
When I plug it into a charger while off, briefly a gray battery screen with what looks like a stationary 'wait spinner' will pop up and then the screen will turn back off again. I know the USB port is not totally FUBARed, because I can flash it with heimdall in Linux. It shows up in lsusb when in the bootloader, but not otherwise. The port is pretty much spotless, especially compared with that on my GNex, which still works fine.
I've tried leaving the battery out for an hour, holding the power button, etc. It almost seems like a problem that could be solved by discharging some capacitors, but battery pulls always solved those on my Galaxy Nexus.
Any thoughts on other things I can try?
I can't even figure out how to contact Samsung support in case this is somehow a warranty/hardware issue. At least on their US site the N7100 isn't even an option in the pulldowns they want me to go through.
After some calls to Samsung USA and Canada, I gave up. Apparently the phone is from the UAE, for which Samsung USA has no phone number, and their repair centers won't touch it if it's international. This is really stupid and I plan to write to Samsung about it. It had only been three weeks since I ordered it, so I am returning it to the Amazon seller for a refund. I'll let them deal with their supplier in UAE I guess. I hate to do that, but it seems to be a hardware problem and I have no other recourse at this point.
I cant really help here but i wanted to let you know i had the same problem with a white note 2 from Carphone Warehouse in the UK, just stopped charging after owning the phone for 2 days (i had also only rooted and running stock rom).
Carphone warehouse replaced the handset for me and havent had a problem with the new one so far but its made me take extra care when plugging or unplugging the usb cable ( i use Airdroid for file transfers now). I guess there must be a defect with a limited few usb ports on the note 2.
I thought it might be a 3rd party usb cable to blame (i use a blackberry usb cable at work but ive stopped that now and only use the official Samsung cable).
Sorry i cant help just wanted to share my experiences, hope you get it sorted, good luck!
Thanks for chiming in Steve, good to know I'm not the only one. I saw another post on here like that too, maybe it was yours? There was no discussion. The strange thing is ODIN worked just fine. Maybe a loose connection only on one/both of the power pins?
Nah it wasn't me mate, I had just put it down to me being heavy handed and thought nothing more of it till I saw your post.
I've seen a post in the Jellybam thread today about the charging being down to software but I don't know how true this is as i've yet to check the facts.
Did you manage to get it replaced? I remember it was the worst feeling in the world when the realization hit that my phone wouldn't charge.

Yeah I just invoked the Amazon.com return policy, sent it back for a refund, and ordered another one. It was supposed to arrive today, but apparently UPS had some kind of mechanical issue and now it's delayed until tomorrow. I just need it to get here before my next month's Verizon plan bills so I can cancel before paying another month.
Sorry to drag up an old thread but this has just happened to me, EXACTLY the same as OP.
I've reset it, wiped everything, re-flashed latest stock firmware. Tried 3 different cables and two different chargers.
Pretty sure the battery is good because if I take it out of the phone and charge it on the dock, it works fine. If I then put the battery back into the phone, the phones works in every way except it wont charge
I have most of my digital life on this thing, I am so screwed without it. Look like its a warranty repair job then? Ive had the phone about 3 months from Phones 4U :crying:
Looks like hardware issue..

Happened to mine to T-mobile version. Never dropped it, never got it wet, only 1.5 months old.
WTF? Seriously?
Behavior:
Charges sometimes.
Charge sometimes stops at 70% or less.
Screen sensitivity screws up sometimes.
Data constantly being transmitted whether WiFi or cell network.
Never dropped.
Never wet.
Never harshly impacted.
Never rooted.
Tried factory reset.
Tried pulling battery.
Tried different chargers and cables.
Wondering if the trident aegis case put too much pressure on the charger cable by pushing it sideways with the flap.
Any ideas?
Hardware problem.

Check in the box, and if you have an EROS Group sticker on it that means it's covered under warranty here in Dubai, UAE as they are the main distributor here for Samsung products.

This happened to me yesterday after spilling tea on it. I took the device apart as per this video, checked the connectors and reassembled it. Voila, the charger is working again. Obviously I take no responsibility etc etc.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 2 wont charge
I have also had this problem where my galaxy note 2 wont charge. I have tried all the chargers i have used successfully in the past and none of them will charge it now. I had the problem some weeks ago and now it has happened again. I only purchased the phone in January 2013. It is very frustrating. I have never dropped my phone or damaged it in any way what so ever. I have no idea what the problem could be but i will be taking it back to Telstra as i need it sorted out.
Same problem here - is this a generic problem with the Note 2??
I always put my phone on charge overnight , woke up yesterday and it hadn't charged. Swapped batteries - no problem - then put original battery back in, hey presto, charging!
But since then both batteries have run out and I couldn't get either to take any charge. Got it plugged in now and just like other people I've got a static charging ring showing, And no power.
Bought an external charger to try and get round this, but has anyone come up with a proper solution??

Strange...
a mate of mine just mentioned to me today that his note was charging strangely recently, apparantly he took an air gun (on low setting) to the charging port to blast out any miniscule dust n stuff and that fixed it!
Seems they're very sensitive and the smallest thing can make it act strange

Dear Friends,
My phone was in perfect condition till last night. All of a sudden when I was taking a pic, the phone switched off. It had tried to reboot multiple times. Now the phone only starts when connected to the charger. As soon as charger is removed, the phone goes dead? What could be the issue?
I had done a factory reset yesterday morning. The same night the phone went into this issue. Can factory reset be an issue? How can I solve this? It does not work without connecting to charger. The service center guy says that the motherboard is dead. I just cannot believe that. Can you please suggest a way. I'm also planning to visit another service centre.
Thank you.
I'm on stock latest 4.4.4. Not rooted and no mods done.

Replace Your Battery
This is a common problem
Had Same problem last week
If under warranty give it to their service centre
Or else you can buy from eBay or other site
As stated before, you need to replace the battery. This happened to me as well. I had a fix shop do the replacement as I had no warranty and the battery is glued to the back of the screen. So unless you really know what you're doing, you'll most likely mess up your phone if you try it yourself.
It is relatively simple to replace the battery.
You can buy a kit online with screwdrivers and plastic tool included.
I had to replace it myself because sony service didn't accept my phone.
The battery is glued to the back of the screen with a sticky tape, but with some patience it peels off in no time..
You can use this video as a help.
can someone pm me a reliable seller from where i can buy the battery please. thanks.

Last year, I bought this replacement battery for my ZL from Amazon. Seems to be a genuine Sony product, labeled "made in Japan" (my original failing battery was made in China). So far, it's been working great. My seller was Chen Yu company, but it's not available from them at the moment, and I can't vouch first-hand for other sellers...
Knowing that this is my last resort and with all the wonderful knowledge here on the forums, I'm hoping I might get some creative ideas.
I recently bought a Tab S 8.4, rooted it about 2 weeks after I got it. No problems, everything is working great. Last week, the screen starts to flicker and the tablet reboots randomly. When it does this, the battery goes from 100% down to 12%. Eventually this happens enough where the tablet won't stay on for longer than a minute. Read around the forums and find others mention the exact same issue. Potentially a battery pull/re-plug may alleviate. Tried that to no avail.
I have found that if I hold the battery plug in place *real* tight, by pushing down with my finger, the tablet operates somewhat normally. Could be a motherboard issue.
Anyone run into this at all? Thoughts? Ideas? Replacement parts? I've got a $500 brick on my hands now with no warranty to boot. :crying:
Thanks in advance!
I soldered my battery straight to the board. But before doing that, try spraying some contact cleaner (found in hardware stores) and see if it Will work

I found a local electronic repair shop that said they could re-solder it for me relatively easily. Brought it in and he said it did look like the terminals on the battery plug had been pulled back a little bit and weren't soldered on there very good (good to hear some type of confirmation on that and he let me view it through a microscope as well). Twenty minutes and twenty dollars later, my tablet is working as it did previously. I've used it sparingly over the last 2 hours, so nothing definitive yet, but the fact that it doesn't restart right away makes me think the issue is resolved.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions!!

Battery Results
Just wanted to follow up with everyone that might be experiencing similar issues. After fixing the issue, and de-bloating a bit, my battery life is phenomenal. Much better than when I first got it. I suspect the battery issue was causing some drain as well, even when it wasn't restarting. The attached screen is still with 35% battery left.
Thanks to all those who contributed to this thread. I too was having battery issues. I'd get random restarts, disconnects from the cellular network, forgetting wifi passwords, battery that would go from 50% to dead in three seconds., display glitches etc. I finally opened up my tab which I thought was going to be a pain but was actually pretty easy. By naked eye the solder joints looked fine but under a microscope I could see that all six solder joints on the battery connector were cracked and by pressing on the connector could see the connector move independently from the PCB. Resoldered the joints and everything is good now.
Well my problem is that the battery isn't charging, I get a battery with a red "X" mark when the screen is on but when it is turned off, its charging well but very slow and when it reaches 99% it never goes to 100%. Could it be possible I have the same problem as you guys? no random restarts for me just the issue of sucky battery life (3 hours on wifi) and not charging

Are you using the stock Samsung charger? Just plug it into the wall and it should be fine. Don't charge from the computer or use a different charger
Got that same problem. My tab will only charge up to 60% under 6 hours. Batterystatus app shows that my 2amp wall charger is just charging at 300mah +/- . Tried my power bank, same issue. Changed the cable and the reading from the wall charger is 1800mAh , could top up the battery in 2hrs

Using wall charger. Never charged via pc...
Any Ideas?
I have experienced this. Flickering of the screen which eventually leads to reboots. Got it fixed at a samsung service center. You rooted it but you're on stock ROM right? I think there's a problem when we root it and stick with the stock ROM. When I rooted my tab again, certain apps started FCing which lead to lags. So I'm gonna wipe this and start from scratch.
Since yesterday my Mi Max doesn't appear to charge.
If I connect it to power or a PC via USB then the charging icon appears, the notification led turns solid and the normal charger connected chime plays but the battery meter doesn't move.
I left it connected to a QC 3.0 charger overnight last night and the percentage meter didn't change at all. I've also rebooted it, closed all running apps and ran the included battery optimizer app but it hasn't made any difference.
ROM is official Global MIUI 8.5.1.0 Stable (Nougat)
Does anyone have any advice?
Maybe a damaged part causing. Maybe it fried some sorta hardware. I advice you to take service center. I had usb charging thing for a month and decided to give it service. Tyey replaced whole motherboard.

Sorry, actually it's working normally again now. I ran it down to around 6% and then connected it to the same fast charger later that same day and it charged as normal. I've ordered a replacement battery just in case though.
There are no service centres for Xiaomi in my country. I bought the phone online from Asia so once it's dead and I can't fix it then it would be gone forever I'm afraid.

We don't have an official service center as well. If something goes wrong we have to send then another city and if some part damaged we at least waiting for a month to get it repaired. (service promises 3 day fast repair though lol)

Tbh I've never been a fan of using third party repair places and local phone repair stores. Generally they don't seem all that careful or skilled at what they do and I can usually do a similar if not superior repair myself. That's what I did a couple of months ago when I needed to replace the power/volume ribbon on my Mi Max.

Agreed. Next time i ll repair this thing by myself tho since a month without a damn backup phone is very difficult.
