So today while i was listening to music via AmazonMP3 in my car through the radio, it was also plugged into the charger. the phone went idle and turned the screen off, nothing abnormal here, however, this time when i went to turn the screen back on it would not. music was still playing and the orange charge light was on.
This happened twice today. the first time i was able to hold down the power button and force it to reboot. the second time it won't even do that. i hold down the power or hold down power+vol down/up and nothing happens. not even the buttons flashing. i've gone to the point of holding them down for 2 mins just to see if long term holding may somehow do it.
when i got home i plugged it into the computer to see if the computer would recognize the phone and to see if i could force reboot it using ADB. the computer did not see it and i tried ADB devices and it did not see it either. i'm basically at a loss at this point and any ideas would be welcome
little about the phone
running Viper 2.0.3 with S-off
well the LED just turned of... so i went and plugged it in to see if it would come back on and boot up.
neither the charging light or the phone came on....do i now just have a paper weight?

Have heard a couple people say to leave it on charge, whether the charge light comes on or not, for 24 hours. Then try to reboot.
Hope you get it figured out. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

i'll give it a try... hopefully that'll work.... if not, guess i'll be going to Big Red on wednesday to see if i can use my Wife's upgrade early (it's due in march) since she's happy with her phone (dumb/flip phone) and isn't interested in using it

ok after letting it sit off the charger for a couple hours last night i plugged it in to start t he 24 hour charge and the charge light started flashing like it would normally to let you know of low battery. after about a minute this didn't change but i took the chance and attempted to turn it on. which it did come back on at this point. however, it didn't have enough charge to stay on since the charger is not a fast charger and wasn't giving more then it used. it shut back off. i unplugged and replugged and this time it flashed and then turned solid. turned the phone back on and it stayed on without issue.
this morning it was still coming back up. though i have had one instance where it didn't today but i was able to force it off by holding the power button.
i went ahead a few minutes ago and updated to viper 2.5 and i'm hoping that the reload will correct the issue... guess we'll find out
Thanks for the help!

well at this point i'm saying it's a hardware issue. after i updated to 2.5 (and got the viper tweaks error resolved) i'm still having this issue. even had it this morning without it going screen off and i was looking at it this time when it happened. what it did was the screen just looked like it currupted the image with vertical lines and everything went grey as it was fading out. and then the charge light stayed on again. at least this time i was able to force it off again and turn it back on.. but yeah. i'm going with hardware issues. i'll probably go to Verizon tomorrow or this weekend and ask if i can take my wifes upgrade 1.5 months early. it'll be nice if they let me.. though now i need to figure out what i'd want to get..choices...

expandable memory is always nice!
though i'm also looking at the LG G2. my dad has one of those and it's been great. the 3000 battery is nice, as is the 13 MP camera...i'll just have to compare and see which one i like better over all. price may play a part as well since right now the G2 is $50 while the One Max is $300....
just looking at them compared though. the One Max doesn't have as good a processor as the G2. 1.7 GHz vs 2.26 Ghz (both quad). i suppose a take the good with that bad would come on either phone since the G2 doesn't have expandable storage.
also... i'm not sure i'd want a phone that size. 5.5 would probably be the largest i'd want. i'll hold it when i go to the store. maybe i'll find it more comfortable then i think...

I had a Samsung phone for 2 years and hated it, it constantly froze and I had to do a battery pull daily. There was also little development for it though u doubt you will have that problem if you get the note 3. After owning that phone for 2 years and then picking up the DNA I have become an HTC fan. I had a Samsung continuum. Jut my little rant about Samsung.

This happened to me about a week ago. Charging it was what fixed it.
If charge it doesn't fix go to a sprint store and let them charged the battery the did the trick for.my EVO 4G once the happened, for.some reason the battery seems dead when is nor really dead
MGS on my iPad
Maybe check the battery connectors dood. I know some htc models have problems with those.
Coz i just saw it in 3D with the Shooter!
mines not powering up either.. Never turned it off, woke up this morning & it was off. Not powering up. been on charger all night
happens all the time to me. i know its a flaw, but ive learned to NEVER let my battery go all the way dead. If i see it get around 5-10% ill just put in on airplane mode til i can get to a charger. Also if you battery is very low, turning it off or pulling the battery will cause it to get an attidude and not turn back on for 15-20 min
Yeah, I have been having lots of "attitude" from my battery or power button or on/off code or whatever is making these things not want to power on reliably.... Not to mention the random charge-light-on-wont-turn-on antics. Has been happening more and more frequently and nothing i do works reliably so I just try them all until one works.
I can't have this. This morning I woke up to a locked phone, screen off, green light on, won't turn on.... And totally dead battery while plugged in? Good thing my nook is so reliable as an alarm clock or I might have been in deep **** at work.
It's not the rom or kernel... I've tested everything. I think it's deeper than that. I might not be able to wait for the nexus-prime.... Sgs2 might have to do.

I've seen a lot of these posts. I usually never let mine get in the amber even but I recently flashed viper rom so i wanted to do a battery calibration...meaning..reset stats from full charge..then use it till it dies. After reading these posts I realized mine hadnt died on me any yet. After 16 hours of heavy abuse (12 hours of normal music streaming, calls, text, web surfing etc...and 4 hours of just playing youtube video's with all radio's on trying to kill the damn thing) it finally croaked. Worked just fine though.
Maybe something to do with certain shipments. I've seen a lot of posts on htis but no one ever puts out a batch number or anything. Perhaps all the ones having issues came from a similar batch...and have some designation of affiliation with said batch. Just a though..if we could discover some trend in this...perhaps they'd consider acknowledging it and helping users with issues...or at least help new comers to the thread avoid particular troublesome ones.

It did this before I did s-off.... Admittedly not as much, but it also hadn't done it any more afterwards.... Until a week or so ago, and it just seems to be getting worse. I have an unmodified eng hboot and radio, I doubt that there are remnants of revolutionary that would get progressively worse over time....but I have no idea honestly.

Agreed. I stopped into my local radio Shack two days before release to play with their demo unit.... Turned on... Played with 3D... Turned off... Never came back on again, ever. Tried everything.

AWFUL signal strength. actually, worse Ive ever had on a phone.
my EVO never came back. I was at 60% batt life when I put on charge last night & was dead ass hell this morning.. no life at at.. Sprint tech took it apart it said the phone apears like new, just lifeless. swapped battery with 3 others, no good. So I figured it would be a long shot but I took it back to the store I got it from 36 days ago.. & Explained what happen.. Swapped me out with another one right then & there!..
BTW this is my 5th NEW Evo3D. thats sad...
I plugged my eleven-day-old Galaxy S II up last night to the Samsung charger connected to the Samsung AC adapter that came with it. I then put it underneath the pillow beside me (not the pillow I sleep on; I do this so that I don't knock it off during the night) and went to bed. When I went to grab it this morning, the phone pretty much burnt my hand. I dropped it quickly and let it cool down for a moment. I had no success with turning it on and, when I got back from school, still had no luck. I ended up taking it back and exchanging it for another one.
It really doesn't bother me that much considering the volume up button on the other one stuck a little. And now I can't get CWM to flash on this one. It seems like nothing is going right for me today.
Woah!!
Definitely gotta be careful with that. These phones do need to breathe in a sense but glad it wasn't worse and you were able to return it. I bet you won't do that one again.
Yeah, definitely do not charge any electronic device while under a pillow because charging generates heat and there is no way for the heat to escape while it's under a pillow, so it builds up. As for flashing CWM, what happens when you use odin?
Sent from my SGS II.
The exact same thing happened to me w a NS4G, never again.
That happen to me but not to that extent, i did it all the time with other phones but I guess I should avoid doing that from now on.
It happened to me a couple of times with different phones. I think when I checked the temp it was like 127F lol
By far this phone is the hottest device i have. The thin profile of the phone can't really dissipate the heat that well. But anyway sorry to hear this about your phone. Good luck with fixing things.

Sounds like a faulty battery pack or charging hardware in the phone - for safety reasons, charging of Li-Ion batteries is suspended if the pack reaches 50C (122F) or less. It sounds like either your pack has a faulty temp sensor or your phone did not terminate charge when the temp rose too high. (I assume that Samsung has such termination circuitry onboard as they would never receive certifications otherwise). You are very lucky, as Li-Ion batteries have a propensity for exploding/catching on fire when overheated during charge.

I left mine under the pillow one night - woke up the next morning and was wondering why "This thing is HOT!". It wasn't ruined but I never leave it under the pillow charging anymore. This is why they made night stands LOL.
So I know there are several threads on this, some by me, but this time the issue is very weird.
So i'm on my third phone now, previous 2 had the USB port going wacky. Phone thinking it was charging when it wasn't plugged in, computer not recognizing phone anymore etc.
So problem has now started again on phone number three. Weird thing is this time the phone seems to not have this problem all day. Problem starts at night, so i'm assuming maybe a battery percentage left triggers it. The other weird aspect of this is that right before the phone starts bugging out, (charging, uncharging, and back, over and over while not plugged in), the car mode symbol appears in the status bar, and starts flashing on and off. If I am fast enough to catch it,I can deactivate car mode. When all this starts happening, phone also starts to get stuck and freezes up. This issue is really getting annoying. Love this phone but this is starting to make me crazy. Yes I got the phones at different stores. What do I uninstall to just get rid of car mode, considering I never use it?

Seems to be whatever USB cable you are using or the way you carry this phone is the problem. No way you get 3 phones the same exact problem in a row. FYI, Samsung Focus and Captivate had the similar problem in the past. Car mode is just the result of your USB port problem instead of the cause of it. What happens is something shorted out or bridged the pins of the USB port to make the phone think it is conneted to a car dock (IIRC, car dock uses a 300k resistor to bridge two pins). Some ppl with Focus or Captivate reported success by blowing out the dirt in the USB port.
As well as cleaning the USB port with an alcohol swab

The only USB cable I've used with all of them is the one they come with. I've used the alcohol cleaning method as well as blowing in the port, hopefully getting out any thing causing issue. This seems to help temporarily. The strangest part of all this to me is with this latest phone, I have zero problems all day. When I lay down in bed for the night and start using the phone is when it starts to happen. My battery life can range from 60%-30% at that time, so I don't know if that is a connection to this issue. Maybe the phone is possessed. It always seems to take about 2-3 weeks for this problem to arise. I always have the phone in my pocket, so I guess something must be happening with that. Luckily with this latest one, I bought the best buy insurance, it's just after awhile they're gonna start wondering why this keeps happening to me, and if it's my fault. The USB port problems can sometimes make it difficult/impossible to flash back to stock.

To the OP. The likelihood of that many bad phones in a row with the exact same problem is pretty rare. Take a look at anything that's remained consistent through all the phones, and try replacing that item(s).

+1 for replacing the cord and power brick. Alot less quality is put into them compared to the phone. Just make sure not to buy cheap. And never plug your phone into anything cheap (i.e. car radio usb port, off brand charger, ect) That's not saying everything else is bad. But why risk it. Especially when you can buy brand name chargers off ebay for $5 or less.

I've only used the supplied USB cord, every time. Now even when my phone isn't confused if it's charging or not, the battery life is now awful. 5-6% per hour drain. Used to be 1-2%. No changes made by me. Also the phone has become super laggy at times. Feel like i'm using my cappy again. My apologies for starting this post. I knew I would most likely get crap for it, but my issue is very strange, IMO, compared to mine and others previous experiences. I also figured if I added to an old post, it would go unnoticed.

If he is getting 5% per hour drain at idle, yes that is horrible battery life. SGS2 is fairly easily capable of 1% per hour idle drain.

I knew I would most likely get crap for it, but my issue is very strange, IMO, compared to mine and others previous experiences. I also figured if I added to an old post, it would go unnoticed.

You've used the same cord with all 3? or a new cord with each one?
It sounds like you've got a boatload of issues going on. Personally i'd do a wipe and try a fresh install without installing any additional stuff to be sure the hardware is fine.. Once you've verified that start adding apps to see if it was a specific one causing the issue. (there's other ways to troubleshoot this, but a fresh wipe is the most straight forward and simple IMO)

5% an hours not bad. Your saying ur phone used to last 2 to 4 days (100-200hours) on a single charge normal use? No exaggeration?

%5/hr idle is not good, at all. Last night my phone dropped %5 over 9 hours idle. how is 2-4 days equal to 100-200 hrs? where i'm from 2-4 days = 48-96 hrs

I understand that, hence why I said under normal use, also he doesn't say at idle, and talks about it being laggy n the same statement...

i suppose.
However he said before it was 1-2 percent an hour. That's pretty much impossible while being used, only get numbers like that while not in use (idle). Even %5 an hour while being used isn't likely to happen. Guess i just figured it had to be in ref to idle drain.
lol guess we just wait to see

I gotcha, all good. I guess I assume a phone just doesn't sit there at idle......., I know mine doesn't!

After going through a total of 5 rezounds since December, I've got a phone I'm happy with. Runs cool, screen is good, buttons are relatively red, and it doesn't suck battery life. Completely stock, I'm at 35% left with 3 hours of on screen time in 4g with no wifi on, medium brightness. Gonna be keeping this one for a while.
5 times?? you should have gone fo a different device.
How do yu get that good of battery with that amount of on screen time on lte

I came from a tbolt, and have had a nexus, RAZR, charge, bionic, and revolution. This phone is my favorite.
This phone had 2.5 hours of talk time when I got it, but the sticker in the battery bay said it was refurbed on 4/26. Maybe it has better qc or something.
Tomorrow you will accidentally drop it in the toilet when reading the morning paper on the john.
I think the newer phones are better. Mine was perfect from the get go.

My manufacturer date is 10/21/2011 but my life counter is 283... Which is back in August. Err. My phone had no user time on it though when I got it. I don't understand...

Le ##778# then call is how I do it. Then click view, then display. There might be another way... This phone is perfect with the exception of a questionable loud speaker. It's not bad though. It's only a little different than the one I've compared it to.. no one in the store could tell the difference. Thats how minute it is.
I got it in February after sending my first one back that apparently had nothing wrong with it, the keys were a little lighter than this ones though. This one has really red keys. I didn't know my other ones were lighter though. This one also doesn't have bad light leakage either. U can barely see it on a black screen in the dark with the brightness on minimum.

Be happy that you got a good CLNR from Verizon. It's great that they supply us with fairly hassle free warranty exchanges. But at times their quality control can be pretty fail. I've gotten 4-5 devices that have LARGE scratches on them like 1-2 inches across the screen. Enjoy your device.

Wtf? For real? Unacceptable lol. Completely unacceptable.
My life counter is at 16. I'm assuming that is possibly number of days? My phone is older than that. Is it possible that the s-off process resets it?
I noticed that on the same firmware the rezound I'd had since december and the refurb I got in April had two radically different screens in them. My old one had a verrrry cool screen while the new one has a much warmer screen.
Much happier with the new unit.

Maybe it is the number of hours? Lol Idk. I thought it was days but it wouldn't make since in my case. What's your manufacture date say?

Yeah it's happened on 2 of my T-bolts and a Droid Charge. The T-bolt was a nightmare for me. They even sent me like 2-3 that had screens popping out, and when you pressed down on the screen, it was like a black berry storm LOL.
Today my stock phone with JB overheated. I got a message on the screen that said the phone was shutting down for my protection. I was in the process of installing apps from the Play store. Six hours later it will still not turn back on. My battery was around 25% or so.
If it is not plugged in then no combination of button presses will produce any result.
If it is plugged in then it boots to the first logo flash and then reboots.
If it is plugged in and I boot to download mode then it flashes the download mode screen and reboots.
If it is plugged in and I hold down the power button then the power button flashes rapidly.
I left off for a couple hours and then plugged it in for a couple hours just in case it did need to charge, but it did not produce any change in results.
I am fairly certain that the fix described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039707 will work. I can also just return my phone since it is only one day old.
However it looks like there might be a fair number of people having this issue so I would like to look into preventative measures so that it does not have to happen. Other than not using the phone if it starts to get hot, does anyone have any ideas of where to check? Are there any files that can be changed to help the phone not get stuck in the pre-boot phase? I know we can change the temp that the phone shuts down at, but given that my phone actually was pretty hot I doubt that is a good solution.
Get a new phone and immediately turn on eco mode. My phone has never gotten hot during heavy usage and you won't notice any difference performance wise. You may notice better battery life, although, I haven't seen much improvement.

That is what I did with my first phone (I have two). I didn't on this phone because I wanted to see if there was any performance difference I could notice. It didn't seem any faster, but I only got to use it about 45 minutes before it overheated.
I will most likely return it, but I really do want to see what I can do to help out the people that won't have that option. I like fixing things so it is a hard choice.
Stock with jellybean?

That's not good to hear. Hopefully you just got a bad batch and it won't affect too many people. Makes me kinda worry but luckily mine has never gotten that hot or too hot, like i heard around here.

This one. I sat and stared at my screen for 15 minutes trying to decide the best and shortest way to word that. I guess I failed.
I ended up returning my phone. I turned on Eco mode as soon as I could as was suggested. I noticed my phone was starting to get just as hot as before so I double checked and Eco mode had turned off. I am keeping an eye on it, but I have still had it get pretty hot a couple times. Mostly when I am downloading a lot and have the screen on. I'm staying safe by not using it for long periods of time, but that is going to get old pretty quick )= If it is a bad batch thing I suppose it would make sense that this one is bad too since I got it from the same store just two days apart.
I scared to see what is going to happen when I use LTE for the first time tomorrow lol.
My first LGOG did this. Within a week of purchase.

How hot are we talking here for it to over heat. I've been up to 71°c on the CPU and 46°c on the battery. It felt really hot to the touch. But it continued to work.

I posted a mod in the dev section that should resolve this issue. Just choose optimized stock for a regular experience that'll appropriately throttle to maintain a reasonable temp.
