Greetings, all.
I am in dire need of help. My plight is as follows:
I am soon going off to college and have a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, SM-T320. I am fairly technical, and have fixed computer parts prior. However, I had weak charging, and I decided to pop the back off to get the serial number of the current battery. It was a T4800E, in case that is relevant. I went to eBay, purchased the battery, and just installed it about half an hour ago. I expected the battery to be low and/or dead, so I plugged it in. I immediately have an issue which I am not sure is severe or harmful to my device.
Currently, the tablet is sitting next to me on a stand, plugged in, and the oddest thing on the screen: the battery charging animation when powered off (the battery in the center of the screen) is starting (i.e. showing the "loading circle" in the battery), but is not actually showing the charging bar animation, powering off, and repeating. I will leave it overnight, replying in the morning with an update if you wish to know, and if the problem ceases, I will simply delete this thread.
If this is still up the day after OP, it is likely still going on (check below for an update from me), but I just want to get an answer as soon as possible.
To answer some possibly-relevant questions:
Yes, I still possess the original battery, and can replace if you feel is a good idea.
Unfortunately, I am completely opposed to cracking or anything of that sort, as I wish to avoid the possibility of bricking and/or permanent damage.
Thank you in advance for any help,
Chronotides
EDIT: Apologies, moderators, I did not notice until after I posted there was a "help and troubleshooting" section on the side banner. I will re-post over there, and I request you delete THIS copy.

Hello guys,
I'm facing a very troublesome problem,
Whenever I plug in my GT-N71000 to my charger or the computer, the phone shows that error "Charging paused. Battery temperature too low", or if the phone is off it shows the yellow exclamation point with a thermometer.
I know that must be a really common thread here at XDA-Dev but I have searched the entire internet to find out a solution for this. What have I already done:
When it appeared for the first time I could take the battery off and put it again and sometimes it would charge whenever the phone wanted (I didn't know before that Note II had personality). I downloaded apps that monitor the battery temperature and it showed -20°C. Really freaky. Then I moved to another country and sometimes it worked. I opened it up cleaned and I could charge for some time, then it came back. I went to the Samsung Service and replaced the charging mechanism and the phone worked fine until last friday after a drunken night when this problem showed again!
It happens even with other batteries, so battery problem is ruled out. I opened the phone again and checked the PCB it looks fine, doesn't have any damage of water or any corrupt paths.
I even rooted, deleted battery stats.bin . Reflashed to stock and it's no use. What makes me believe it is some hardware problem with the thermistor that reads the battery temperature, since it was stuck in -20, -19.
Is there a way to reprogram the kernel or whatever coding is responsible for this reading to fool the phone that the battery temperature is at normal levels, so this way I could charge and use my phone normally? Has anyone any solution that I haven't tried? I want to try everything before going to Samsung again because I'm really sure they will say they have to change the whole PCB.
Thank you very much
Well, just a quick update.
I haven't found a solution yet. I bought an external charger so I can at least use my phone but haven't arrived yet. I searched and searched and the only place that I found about anyone having some sort of solution is on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47008088 .
But i have no idea how to patch that kind of code in my phone, nor I know if it is on the Kernel.
Anyone might wanna help? Thanks!
Been coming here a while.. forums are nothing new to meh.. we'll skip the fact I just made this account and immediately made a thread ^^;
We'll get right to the details:
Had her since Autumn last year. Best phone I've ever used. No problems besides freezes I know I caused, etc.. never an issue. Til about October this year. Seen similar issues, looked for two months and found nothing close besides a Nexus 7 that physically needed its battery pulled for it to power on again. Anywho, here's how the moment went down: In the span of an hour or so, my GNex had crashed on me about three times... normally it'll do that maybe three times a day to three a week, depending how hotplugx on leankernel felt that day (having only one core on 90% of the time was pretty sweet). Was running the PA 3.99 based "Built With Love" ROM- the first build to incorporate any Saber stuff afaik- and the flat out 8.0 version of leankernel. Now.. the laast time she froze, the battery was already near dead, so when I popped it back in I plugged it up to the charger. All going as normal, right? Done this plenty from tinkering with kernels and seeing which android ROMs & versions I could hop back and forth to without wiping (had the current said setup for a month straight, surprisingly) Nope. It brings up the charging logo with the lighting bolt in the middle of the battery... and freezes there. Pulled out the cord, waited a bit and everything. Nada. Freaked out, I popped the battery. Went to put the battery back in and power it.. nothing. Okay, maybe that just killed the charge. Nope. Power cord fails to bring up any kind of light or charging animation. No screen activity. Will not boot into odin, recovery, or anything.
The ONLY signs of life still coming from this phone, are heat when it's on the charger, heat after 'USB jumping' the phone -after disconnecting the cord as well, and for at least two hours it continues producing heat- (had to do that when I first got it from Google) , and if I plug her into the laptop via USB WITHOUT a battery, it'll show as "OMAP 4440" for a split second in device manager.
Any more details will come from answering questions. As this happened over two months ago, I'm a little fuzzy on outright recalling details.
Cannot find this problem elsewhere at all. Either it's rare or I suck at looking around.
So I'm coming to you guys. Is she bricked? Stuck in charging.. idk what. Toolkits won't detect a device either, even after the USB jump when I know the battery is discharging and the phone is -technically- powered on.
If you guys could help me out for Christmas, even if it's to tell me she's busted, it would be so indescribably appreciated... <3
[Edit] Nabbed this really quick (attachment). Holding the button combo for download/odin mode has Windows searching this.
No battery inserted, as the dialog disappears and the taskbar pops with a bubble saying "device not recognized" etc. when the battery is put back in or is simply in it when plugged into the laptop.
Also to note: a third party battery yields the same results as the stock one. What kills me is Windows can see it, but aside from that and the heat production, it's essentially dead. What gives? :c
Shameful bump. Need to know if it's completely bricked, or possibly a hardware issue that's repairable or not.
Had to save up for over a year for this phone. Really need to figure out if it's gone or not. If it is, then I'll need to start saving for an N5, which I consider a downgrade ._. Can't beat the community support though, and that extra screen space :3
Aside from irrelevant blabble.. any answer would be appreciated. I can provide any additional information if need be, as well.
Have not seen this issue anywhere.
Bump..? :c
There's almost nothing on charge animation freezes. And what there is, the owner was able to boot their device with some simple workarounds.
If there's anyone who knows what's going on, even to tell me I'm a retard who bricked his phone, please do. Please.
Can't even afford glue to put my shoes back together. Saving up for another phone is impractical this year and probably next as well :\
Would I need the OMAP 4440 driver and some other stuff? If there's some way to push a boot.img to /boot while the phone is in this state, that would fix it..
I'm somewhat sure, at least. Since the kernel's in charge of that from what I understand.. any ideas?
Search for OMAP flash. I think your phone can be revived. i can't search right now but i believe there are some tutorial about OMAP flash of galaxy nexus. Good luck
So, I bought a 360 because AT&T is giving $200 off w/Nexus 6 purchase, and a 360 for $49 was too good to pass up.
I've read as many posts as I could about charging issues. However, I couldn't find anyone with the exact issue I'm having. Here is what happened:
After purchase, I immediately opened and paired (which I now know was a mistake). Out of the box, watch was at 46%. A prompt for an update appeared (which I now know it was supposed to do), and from then on my battery dropped to 11% in about 20 minutes. Of course, I proceeded to put the watch in the cradle. My light never came on, but the charging screen did. My battery kept dropping even on the charger (which I now know is a known issue). I turned my watch off at 7% and put it back on the cradle. Nothing. No light, no charging screen, nothing.
What I've tried so far:
1. A different wall plug.
2. Cable that came with Nexus 6.
3. Press and hold button for 2 minutes, 30 seconds, rapidly, etc.
4. I tried opening the strap instead of closing.
5. Took off plastic on back.
6. Set on cradle with button down instead of up.
7. Removed all 360-related apps from Nexus 6.
8. Changed from work uniform to house clothes.
9. Drank one of those new yellow Red Bulls.
10. Cried.
In other words, I've tried everything in the recommendations in all the threads both here and on Moto's support forums. No, I can't reset the watch because it shows NO signs of life. It doesn't vibrate, backlight doesn't come on, and indicator light on cradle doesn't come on.
I don't like returning things because I pride myself in my ability to use search engines and XDA, but I just can't find any comment or thread containing a user with those same exact symptoms. Some have the indicator light and no response, some have watches that come on but die too quickly, etc, but none have absolutely zero response or indication of life. I don't know what else to do. Thank you to whoever can help...and if I missed someone who had the same situation and had their issue resolved, well damn, it should have been stickied because I've read a novel's worth of threads and responses and found nothing that has worked for me.

I've had my 360 for 3 days now. The store paired it to my phone, but like you, when I got home I was having some issues including it not wanting to charge. I did a factory reset and its been fine since. Of course, no matter what your experience level it sounds like you got a lemon. No harm in returning it.
Yeah I just returned it and exchanged it for another one. The other one works perfectly.

Hi everyone!
If you think you can help me but you don't want to read the whole thing, there is a one line summary at the end ! I tried to be as clear and concise as possible, without forgetting anything. Thanks a lot in advance to those who will take a minute for me, really <3 . Also, excuse me if my english isn't perfect, it's not my native language.
Full version:
I'm desperate, I spent the day on a Redmi 8 Pro (1906G7G) that I want to repair at all costs for a loved one, basically to change the broken screen (step that went very well) but now I realize that it doesn't charge and there is a repetitive "knock" (even turned off, probably related to electricity I guess?).
I come to ask for help to diagnose it because I don't know where to start but I really want to fix it... Here is in chronological order everything I could observe and do on this phone:
Spoiler
1. Very occasionally, before there was any other problem, it could go into bootloop: you just had to press the different volume and power buttons until it unlocked, without any problem persisting afterwards. I think this is common on this model.
2. The loved one in question sat on it and the screen broke along its entire length, rendering the touch screen unusable and displaying colorful scratches: so I wanted to turn it off to open it while waiting to receive the screen I bought, but it went into bootloop. At first, I couldn't turn it off with the volume / power buttons as described before, so I counted on it emptying itself by bootlooping (it stayed like that for a few days) but as it was interminable. Because it wasn't emptying the battery fast enough, I went back and got it to turn off with the same technique, and this time it worked. At that point, I saw the screen and bootloop incident as a coincidence, since it happened few times before the screen has been broken.
3. I took the phone apart to replace the screen and I don't think I damaged anything: I really feel like I was both patient and careful, touching as little as possible as in the guides I found (I looked to a lot of guides to avoid mistakes). At the end, I turned on the phone (no vibration, I don't know if it's normal), it was still 5% and the screen was working fine.
4. I tried to charge it: no light, no charging icon, on or off, nothing happens at all EXCEPT (and this doesn't reassure me), a kind of "knock" that repeats itself every second or so (it's not the speakers, it sounds "electric"). I plugged the phone to my PC, and I got a notification (on the PC) saying that the USB lacked power to charge the device. I didn't have time to try to see the amperage and voltage info on AIDA64, the phone turned of before due to lack of battery.
Note: I have no idea if the phone started having charging problems due to the screen breaking or due to its repair, because nobody tried to charge it between these two events.
Summary:
A Redmi Note 8 PRO (1906G7G) no longer charges after it's screen has been broken, or a successful screen repair (I don't know, there was no attempt to charge it between the break and the repair) and produces a regular "knock" when plugged in (even when turned off).
Infinite thanks to anyone who will take a little time to help me, really. <3
Have a great weekend everyone !
