Hi,
Really need some help with my LG G3 phone.
Bit of background
My phone network is O2, my kid was watching a you tube video and all he did was hit skip ad and my phone shut down. My phone at the time of shut had around 95% battery.
The phone does not switch on now, when I insert the charger no lights appear stating it charging nor does the screen come on. The phone has not been rooted or anything like that.
When I remove the battery and put the phone on charge the screen displays an image which states no battery is included but when I insert the battery back in the phone displays just goes dead again and nothing occurs
What I have done
I have bought a new battery and still no joy with that
I have held Volume Button down and Power button and no joy
When no battery is in and the above process is followed the screen flickers after around 13-15 seconds but then still shows that no battery is present
Last night the phone did show a little sign of life. I left it all day by itself and then just switched pressed the power button for 3 seconds or so and the LG boot up screen kicked in but then after 10 seconds it switched off. It has not replicated this again though.
Does anyone have any ideas of what i could try next?

Hello,
I am having an issue with my S 3. It is not booting up as it should. The model is SGH-1747M.
I have tried the following and have had the following results:
1) The phone is non-responsive when attempting to power it on with the power button.
2) If I remove the battery, with the phone not plugged in, and then put the battery back in, the phone begins to power on by itself. It vibrates once and then loads to the Samsung screen and then goes off.
3) If I plug the phone in without the battery, the phone vibrates once and the red charging light comes on but then goes off after a couple seconds.
4) If I plug the phone in without the battery, and then insert the battery as soon as the red light comes on, the charging screen comes on but then the phone goes off after a couple seconds.
5) If I put the battery in with the phone unplugged and hold Volume Down, Power and the Home Button, the phone boots to the screen where you can push up on volume to flash new firmware. If I stay on this screen without pressing anything, the phone turns off after a couple seconds. If I push up on the power button, it goes to the screen with the green android man but then turns off after a couple seconds.
6) If I put the battery in with the phone unplugged and hole Volume Up, Power and Home and then release them on the Samsung screen, blue writing pops up in the top left corner (I couldn’t read quick enough what it says) while still on the Samsung screen and then it loads to a screen saying Samsung Galaxy S III and then the phone turns off.
These problems started when I attempted to connect my phone to my laptop to transfer songs over to it. I connected the phone and the battery was charging, but it wasn’t showing up as connected on my laptop. So, I turned the phone off to restart it but when I went to turn it back on, these issues started.
The phone was rooted and has been for the last 7 months without any changes to the firmware or updates to the firmware in that time period and has not encountered any problems prior. I’m not sure what firmware the phone was on prior to this.
If anyone could offer any assistance with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I'm no expert, but it looks like a faulty/stuck power button. It's normal for the phone not to completely boot up when it is powered off and then plugged in to USB. But it is not normal for the phone to reboot itself when in recovery or in Android. That's why I think the power switch might be the cause.
Hi. So after a long wait I got my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML today. The first thing I did was turning it on and it turned on normally, then I proceeded to make the initial setup (logging into google account, etc) without any problems. Then after about 10 minutes of use the phone suddenly turned off with the battery being at around 35% and didn't want to turn on again. I read that old firmware (like the one that comes default with the phone) had battery display errors so I thought the phone had run out of battery, so I charged it for 8 full hours and I unplugged it now. To my surprise the phone is not turning on either. The only way I can make the screen show something is by connecting it to the charger, it vibrates and displays a white battery icon, eventually changing to fully green (fully charged battery, the green led indicator also appears) only to disappear like 3 seconds after. Can't turn the phone on while charged and can't even make the phone show the battery icon again (unless I unplug and plug again, repeating the cycle). So, what can I do to turn it on?
Thanks in advance.

I have a feeling that you did not hold the power button long enough. Disconnect the charger first, and wait for about 10 seconds. Then, hold the power button for at least 6 seconds. The phone should then vibrate and then you may release the power button. Other reasons why your phone may not seem to be turning on at all might be due to the back cover not being fully locked in, thus not making any contact with the power on the motherboard itself.
Do report back the results.

I did. Doesn't work. I also removed the back cover and pressed the power button with nails with no results either. Personally I think there's something to do with the power button as it doesn't even responds while charging (pressing it should display the battery icon) and the only time I could use the phone it didn't work to wake up the phone or setting it to sleep, only double tapping worked. What is strange is that it worked the first time I turned on the phone though.
Are you able to get into FastBoot mode? If so please try performing a hardware reset including wipe cache partition. Please see the following:

I got that several times when connecting my phone to the PC. I removed the back plate and disconnected the battery, after reconnecting phone booted up.

I just received a used Tab S 10.5 from a reputable Ebay supplier. It didn't turn on initially so I plugged in the charger and it showed a solid gray battery icon with a solid white lightning bolt. I assume that means it's fully charged. Still wouldn't turn on with the power button so I tried holding the power and volume buttons together. I'd get a short vibration after 6 or 7 seconds and the battery icon would go off but it wouldn't start. I finally got it to start (not sure what I did differently) but now it has been stuck on the Samsung Tab S opening screen for several minutes. I tried turning it off with the power button but holding it down for about 10 seconds had no effect so I let it go and the logo screen stayed on.
Before I contact the supplier for a refund or exchange I would like to know a few things. Are the Samsung Galaxy Tabs finicky about turning on? Any known issues with power buttons? What's the proper procedure with the power button alone doesn't work? I've seen both power + volume down and power + volume up.
Update 30 min after original post: my assumption about the battery icon was incorrect. I tried turning it on again it worked and the battery showed 3%. I started the setup but just connecting to my network drained the battery down to 0% (even though it's plugged into the charger) so it shut off. At least I know now I'll have to wait a few hours.

Since the issue has been resolved (and was due to inadequate information on my part rather than a problem with the tablet), I am asking the moderator to remove this thread.
LG G3 D855 (rooted, installed twrp recovery, was using Fulmics rom)
While i was normally speaking on phone it suddenly turns off. It wont turn back on, only LG logo shows and after that it just stops (black screen, wont recognize charger). I cannot access to twrp recovery because phone turns of before i could get to the recovery.
I have tried to pull out battery and back in and noting happens all the same. Also i have tried to charge phone after putting battery back in the phone, but it charges for few seconds and again same no red light, black screen and wont turn on.
I have another LG G3 and i have tried another battery but noting it is same. Battery form the phone that dont work, work in another LG G3, so it is not battery problem.
I have tried to connect phone to PC and i can hear sound of plugged device, but on the phone is all black no sign of turning on, so i can not access to my files on phone.

And also tried tutorials like this :
1. Take out the battery
2. WITH THE BATTERY OUT OF THE PHONE AND NOT PLUGGED IN, press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds.
What this does is it drains all the power stored in the phone and takes the power source away so the phone can fully reboot and refresh the power cycle.
3. Replace he battery and plug in the phone.

If you could help me I would appreciate it
Uh I almost forgot I have noticed that when I turn on other phone with battery and than fast put that battery in this one it stays on logo just a little bit more.
My G4 H811 suddenly not powering on.
It was just working fine. I turn off the screen and then a minute later I try to turn the screen on by pressing the power button and the screen is not turning on. I made a few attempts and tried to power it off and on. That's when I feel the phone vibrates but normally it is just a short vibration before the screen on but the vibration never stops and screen is not on. Pressing the power button does nothing. I have to take out the battery to make it stop (vibrates for about 30s). After that, phone won't even vibrate.
I left the phone charged for 2 hours. The charge indicator never turn on but I feel a little warm just like when phone is charging. Basically, now phone will not turn on. What can I do?
There were a couple of occasions since yesterday that I managed to power on the phone to see the LG logo. But it stays there for about 10s and the screen went blank. Looks like my phone is done for.
