vibrant won't turn off - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I try to turn off the phone, it will just go to the transparent/white battery icon which usually shows when the phone is charging without turning on. Then it will keep looping on that icon until i plug in a charger and then turn the phone back on.
I have tried multiple roms and kernels and even tried pulling battery on multiple occasions. As soon as i put the battery back in it shows the battery screen again and starts looping on it.
any help will be appreciated.

You might take an old toothbrush and electonic cleaner and clean your usb port, the battery icon may be telling you that it thinks your plugged and charging. Ive had that problem before.

HELP - Battery "disconnected" & not charging

After rooting my phone and applying a custom rom, I seem to have a problem with my battery.
Whenever i plug in to charge my battery, it doesn't charge.
I've tried both Solarflare and Cognition, but it seems that my battery stopped at 70+% and never goes above 80.
Also, i'm on cognition now and when i plug in my cable, it says - battery disconnected.
I'm not sure what is happening. help please.
I've tried battery calibration app... i've tried deleting batterystats, but nothing seem to work.
Make sure battery connections are clean .
Flash stock rom.
That fails to fix .
Zero custom rom counter with USB jig return phone to service centre .

Just ran into the same problem just now. After tested CM9 then reflashed back to 2.3.6 and got the error "battery disconnected!"
Plug in charger will charge for 1s and then will stop charging and saying the same thing again.
-Solution is:
- wipe battery stats
- Plug the charger into the phone turn it on.
- Once turned on, open up the battery cover and pull the battery out. The phone will be be turned off. Don't take the cable out. Leave it in the slot.
- Put the battery back into the phone and start it up. This should fixed the "Battery Disconnected!" error.
Hope this help others.

[Q] weird battery/charging issue

So this morning when I unplugged my phone from charging all night, like I always do, the notification bar said the phone was still charging. I plugged charger back in and unplugged and it went away. A couple hours later, I noticed my battery was draining extremely fast. I check the battery in the Settings>About phone>Battery Usage, and it said the phone had been on battery for 24hrs. Meaning the phone never recognized it had charged. I refreshed and no change. I wiped battery stats in recovery and it seemed to work. I later charged the phone to 100% and the problem started again. Phone kept showing the setcpu charging bolt in the notification bar. When I checked battery usage, it just showed 0 seconds on battery and there is nothing there. No display time, no android OS, nothing. I decided to flash uNamed, coming from serendipity. After flash, battery usage still showed 0 seconds on battery. I pulled the battery, and then ended up in a batter charging/battery empty bootloop sort of thing. If I pressed all three buttons (vol up vol dwn and pwr) it would take me to download mode. I had to flash an odin kernel just to get phone working again, but battery stats are still screwy. Any ideas?
Edit > my phone keeps showing charging bolt symbol when its not plugged in. Got it to turn off by plugging/unplugging phone several times. While sitting in my pocket the phone made that noise it makes when you plug it in. Now my phone thinks its charging again. Wtf

[Q] Unresponsive, flashing red power light

So I've just acquired a Commtiva N700. It's been sitting in a desk drawer for several years, and the battery is completely flat.
When I plug it in to charge, the red power light comes on, but it remains completely unresponsive. It doesn't even show up as a USB device if I plug it into a computer. After a while the power light will start flashing irregularly. Even after being left like this for a while, nothing happens.
I've followed the suggestion on one of the other threads of taking the back off, disconnecting the battery, leaving it for a bit, reconnecting and charging. I just get a flashing red light again.
I'm suspecting that the battery is so flat that the charger circuitry is refusing to charge it because it thinks it's broken, thus rendering it a brick.
Before I bin it (not worth replacing the battery on a thing like this!) does anyone know if there's any last-ditch recovery I can try?

Freezing up when charging phone (after powering it off)

When your phone is powered off, and then connected to the charger, it appears that a separate rom or firmware of sorts is booted up which displays the charge indicator.
However on my phone this charge indicator would freeze up.
The screen will stay the same way as pictured in the attachment, even after I unplug it from the charge cable. The only way to get it to clear is to either remove the battery, or unplug it and hold the power button for 10 seconds causing it to reboot.
Reflashing my ROM again doesn't seem to help either (I am running an AOSP ROM).
Is there any way to fix it?
Replying to myself
I've found that the battery indicator screen would freeze up when I use AOSP roms, but when I used a rom like rXtreme, it works fine!
Seems like the battery charging screen is tied to the rom after all.

Won't turn on

I recently picked up this galaxy s6 edge from a friend that upgraded to a new phone. It won't turn on, neither to android recovery, nor to download mode nor the android. I charged it via wireless charging overnight and i tried for around an hour with a usb cable. What do i do?
same issue i am facing, i tried original charger, wireless charger and fast chargers from many different brands. but all failed. The device only gets warm/hot while charging and nothing happens. neither download mode nor recovery mode works. I am kind pf stuck without any solution, my device was used very rarely and its like an brand new device. Doesn't know what to do, if you find any solution then please let me know too. thanks in advance
Same problem. If I press power button very long, blue light comes on. Then it's stuck and stays like this until battery is flat. Battery charging is not possible: device heats up (tried USB and Qi), but battery doesn't take any charge.
So I opened the S6 and checked the battery directly. I can charge it directly with a lab power supply and when I plug it in and press power button, the blue notification light comes on again until battery is empty again. I can also see that only ICs get hot, but not the battery when plugging in USB.
So, it's definitely some hardware fault. I suspect power IC that is not able to power up the screen. But I don't know. I will investigate further but it looks difficult. However, I have seen many YouTube videos with same symptoms, but problem was always different than mine :/
Hi guys,
This thread is 2 months old, any of you managed to fix the problem?
I am having very similar problem. My phone was on a shelf for about a year and a half. Before now it was working perfectly. Now I can't charge it via USB or power adapter. When trying to power it up or get into download or recovery mode, nothing happens. Computer does not see it. Tried different cables, USB ports, power adapters..nothing.
The only thing that is happening to the phone is the battery logo appears when trying to charge it, though the green bar does not go over battery, only the empty grey battery with lightning icon in the middle. Also the screen does not go dark after a few seconds as it should and the red/blue LED does not turn on.
Is this the signal from the phone, that the battery is to deeply dischareged and cannot be charged again? I am googling all over the web and can't find anybody talking about what phone does in case of to low voltage on battery.
PS back does not seem to be bloated, USB port was working perfectly last time used
Please try to help, you are my last stop before opening the phone and start probing the poop out of motherboard to see what gave.
EDIT: something interesting happened just about an hour after my post. The battery suddenly started showing % of charge and the green bar started running, computer recognized the phone.. as everything should be.
My FIX: leave the phone pluged in and charging for about 3days and it will start working again.
My semi professional explenation of fix and problem: the phone has a ''backup or reserve'' battery. It is actually main battery but the last I think I read somewhere it is 20% of capacity, is reserved for phone exclusively for the clock and all other electronics that need power when switched off. Now these 20% probably were discharged due to laying around for almost 2 years.
It took me 3 days of charging to fill up these ''20%'' I guess. Probably because Lithium batteries are charged VERY slow at very start and end. This is safty procedure for ALL Li batteries.
If any expert can confirm my conclusion please do so, to help other people.
To answer partialy to my question: The phone tells you battery is ''deep'' discharged when you only see the charge icon without the green bar.
In the mean time I was writing this edit I came up to 4% battery and turned it on!
