Phone doesn't turn on!

Hey people,
Well, this day to me is not going so good. When I woke up I catched my cellphone and tried to turn it on. Nothing... Well, I tried then to plug it to the wall and recharge the battery, and still nothing. Then I tried to take it off charging and getting into Download Mode, this time with success... I don't know if it is a battery problem or what, it was fine yesterday at night...
Can you help me?
From a hopeless man... Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Be sure Battery is not empty...
If possible, check battery in other handset...
I have for instance this, for external charge...
S8500 + second battery
Best Regards
Well I do not have other battery around, but can take it to local handset's seller to see if the can manage something,,,
The method I used that was putting it charging didn't solve nothing. But I can get into download mode... This is strange as I havent flashed it...
Can I reset it through download mode?
Can I reset it through download mode?

If you want to loose all your data...
Again. Be sure Battery is not 0 Volt...
1.
I have damaged Battery...
It is half dead...
2.
If not enough Volt, handset NOT power on normally...
3.
Download Mode need less Battery... but maybe it will Boot Cycle... left after few Seconds Download Mode by it self...
Sorry, no other idea...
If DL Mode, then you can flash with Multiloader, YES.
But you loose all your private Pics, love SMS and so on....
Your choice.
Best Regards
P.S.:
Few bada 2.0 Betas maybe fully decharge Battery. Are you on bada 2.0 ?
Well, this looks like a Frankenmobile!
I managed to somehow turn it on. I did the DL mode combination, and it appeared downlaod mode. After a few secs, I did the same thing and it returned a blue screen, followed by a green one. Then I pressed End Key for a while and it simply turned the bootcycle on and appeared the bootanimation of bada 1.2, the one I have, XXKF3.
It showed empty battery, hour and that were completly wrong (it said 2am and that to be 1 January 2005), but everything else was fine. Then I turned it off competly and on again, but this time no success and it didnt turned on. So I did the same thing again (DL mode, blue/green screen and bootanimation again). It did turn on this time and now I am charging it to full.
Now my question is: how the hell this happened and what could cause it? Is it a defective battery?
Thank you very much for your help!
Cheers
PS: If you could say where can I buy that dock I would be pleased!
New Status:
I did manage to turn on the phone and charge it. It was almost full, only 1 bar left to full charge. I decided to turn it off to put in the memory card, but now I can't put it back on again. I can't get to the "blue/green screen" again...
So I think that it is a software problem.
I did a hardreset about 3 or 4 months ago, can it be the cause? What can I do? Will I lose my warranty becouse I did a hard reset? Or will I loose if I flash it with the same firmware?
Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
It's technically possible to check flashing history of phone, so yes - by flashing phone you're losing warranty I think. But practically I seriously doubt someone will check it if so.
Anyway, if phone doesn't even show static boot logo (white texts "Wave I/II, Samsung") it may point out hardware problem. I'd try to flash it with the same or similiar firmware if you can get dload mode, try to avoid flashing bootloaders, just do it as last resort.
Good night,
Thank you very much for the help!
I can take the phone on Wednesday to a local samsung's assistance center. So, if it is damaged, probably it will be secured by the warranty. But, I did already a hardreset on the device and I don't know if it takes out warranty, although I doubt it does, as it is a feature of the phone through settings...
I also have to point that it stopped vibration a while ago, like 6 or more months... It simply stopped. I can also stat that in the assitance center, or it will not be much of a help?
Thank you for your patience!
Merry Christmas to you all
PS: Do you know any key combination that can lead me to that "blue and then green" screen?
yes i know one
if you were trying to get download mode and you pressed volume up button instead of volume down
best regards
Hardreset doesn't take out warranty IMO. Bring it to service then.
Good afternoon,
Yesterday I managed to get into that blue/green screen again. I did that getting into download mode normally, taking of batrery while in download mode and then putting it in again and access download mode again. By doing this, it dont go to download mode somehow. I use the same key combination to acess the blue/green screen as to access the download mode. Simply, what happened was this:
1-Press download mode key combination
2-Download mode appears in red and a frame around the The screen in blue
3-Take off battery during download mode
4-Phone goes off
5- 2 Seconds later put battery on again
6- Press the download mode key combination
7- Screen goes full blue, and after few seconds goes green
8-Press End key till the phone presents the boot logo
UPDATE: Strange thing happened. I turned off the phone to put in memory card, but this time I couldnt turn it on again by that method... It's stange.
I noticed that I can acess DL mode throught end key+camera key+ ANY VOLUME KEY (Up or Down). Is this normal?

G2 Screen backlight flickering problem

Greetings to all members.
A couple of days ago i received a new G2.
As soon as i rooted it i installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605016
Everything completed and the phone would operate normally. I let it fully charge during the night. Next morning i installed some apps from the market (skype fb and a weather widget), then i let it charge again for 20 minutes or so. When i got back to see if it charge, the screen was dimmed like in power saving mode, it wouldn't go back no matter what and the phone hanged there.
I got the battery out and upon rebooting the screen was still dimmed.
I got back to 2.3.3 stock which i had backed up to SD from clockwork, but the problem continued.
I contacted the seller and said they would ship a new one as soon as i sent them the shipping back notice. The thing is i don't want to wait half a month or even more to get the new phone.
I've attached a video of the problem.
I played with the brightness levels on 4.2, you will notice that if i put it on 100% the screen goes completely black.
Also when i put it in standby with the power button and push it again the screen starts flickering for some seconds before it gets stabilized again.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Sounds to me like it is really a hardware issue... while it's understandable that you don't want to wait for a new phone to arrive, it is better than ending up with a dead backlight...
It really was a hardware issue, took another one back after a month and it works great.
Thanks for your help guys

[HELP] Screen off, vibrating continuously

Hi,
My phone has been working fine since I did S-off and installed a LeeDroid 2.3 ROM a year ago. This wednesday I had to install another ROM because of boot loop problems with the previous one. I used VJ CM10.1 v5.3 which worked amazing for almost 2 days. Yesterday at night while the phone was charging I couldn't unblock it (black screen) and the orange led kept light event without usb cable. I removed the battery and since then the phone only vibrates continuously when I turn it on. Even without battery if I use an USB cable it starts vibrating inmediatly, of course with any screen response (in the dark you can see a very light attempt to start the screen but nothing else). The PC don't detect anything when I plug it and I can't use any key combination to get to Recovery.
I wasn't doing anything dangerous, only charging but the ROM was only 2 days old. Does anybody now what is happening or how could I fix it? Sorry if It has been responsed but I think not (It's no the 7 vibrations problem).
I can provide more information if needed.Thanks a lot.
Take out the battery, hold the power button for 10 seconds, then try to boot.

Same result. It only vibrates. I'm considering hardware fault (is 2 years and half old) but as I changed the ROM this week seems to be somewhat related.
Before we come to a conclusion, let's try all the stuff we can.
Does the phone boot in hboot?
No, all key combinations apparently have the same result.
The last thing i'd like you to try is putting your phone in the freezer with the battery taken out. Who knows, maybe it will boot afterwards.
If not, then send it to a service.
Thanks a lot, I will try. By the way, I've started saving money to buy the Nexus 4
AW: [HELP] Screen off, vibrating continuously
You will love the N4
Anyway good luck on saving the life of your desire!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Thanks a lot. I tried everythink sooo after more than two years of Desire (including broken screen) it's time to move on to N4.
My htc google nexus has same problem, Continuous vibrates and wont turn on
Pls help, I am facing same problem, :crying:
Same problem any help guys?

Black Screen

When I was using this phone the screen suddenly turned black. No powering off or anything, the phone was nearly fully charged anyway. Nothing seems to be working anymore. I tried turning it back on but it's completely unresponsive. It won't even charge anymore. I was wondering if there was any solutions to this and if other people where having this problem or did my phone just brick itself
Are you able to get to the bootloader? by pressing volume + and power at the same time. It may be worth trying to flash stock also. I am no expert its just what I would try.

Of course I did. But at no avail. Today, I found out, that the new screen is partially working. I can see very dark picture, it means, I have no back light. Tried to set it up from engineers mode, but no luck.
So the new screen is on, but without back light, and the phone heats pretty much in the top area.

If so. Try to pull down the statusbar and swipe a bit under the statusbar line, in the top of the screen from left to right, with some luck you will tap the brightness switcher

I can connect to the phone through Vysor, and when I change the brightness level there, there is no change at all. The Phone does not react to any settings change at all.
Tried eragon rom, but still no change....

Better hope you still have your garantie, because theres legit no way to restore it. You just have to send it back for it to get fixed. This happened to me once and yesterday twice. sadly I am to dissapointed from this. I am never buying an Elephone again ! PS bro it isnt worth sending this hell of a **** peace back. It costs and the blackscreen thing is gonna happen again in 6-8 months. SO go out there and buy yourself a real phone not this bull****. I have to do the same rn.

Just happened to me with my 3 year old phone. Left overnight with enough charge. Pressed the side button and nothing - held it down to restart and then complete blank.
Repalced the battery about 1 month ago with one from AliExpress for £5.
So using the kit provided with the battery or a watchmakers screwdriver - undo the 12 tiny screws and remove the white surround and then the inner back with the phone's number on it. Next disconnect the battery socket but be careful as it is tiny - use a torch and magnifier if vision not good. Remove the sim card. Wait 10 minutes - did this with the blue light flashing - it stopped finally on disconnection.
Put it all back together and hey presto fully working phone
