Phone usually doesn't turn on - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
So i have this unusual problem with my phone. The phone won't turn on, but when i plug it in the charger it shows the battery icon with the little "loading" circle in it. It does that constantly when plugged in, icon is on the screen for a few seconds then the screen is all black, it goes like that untill I unplug it.
I thought that the phone was broken, but today while it was plugged in i saw the real charging animation and it said that the phone had 50% of battery so I quickley pressd the power button and it turned on normally. After that i turned the phone off and back on again, everything worked perfectly. So i tried turning it off again and pulling the battery out. Now it wont start again.
The firs time it happend I was using the phone and it freezed, so i pulled the battery out and then it happend.
The phone is running latest version of cm11 donwloaded from cm website.
I hope that somebody knows the answer to my problem.
Thanks in advance!

The battery is new

I'm might know what happening with your phone, and i don't know the final solution either, but you can use your phine with a little bit of effort, just plug your phone to charge and open download mode (press power key, home key , vol down key simultaneously)
And let be in that position for 5-10 min and then press cancel. Then it will show your device name for real long...... wright there for 5-10 min again and it will be working again, don't let it go off again or do same procedure if it goes off, you may have problem with your sensor's, wanna stable solution? Go to your service provider

[Q] Phone got stock, finally work but..

Hello everyone,
I got a question. Yesterday, my phone shutdown do to no more battery. Once I got home (about 1h30 after), I plug-it into my computer for a good slow charge. I noticed the led was blinking red instead of staying on, but I though it was due to critical low battery. After 3 hours, still the same. I try to open it but nothing happened. Then, I noticed that when I touch the screen or button, the phone vibrate.
I then unplug and try again, same thing. I try plug into the wall charger, samething.
Then I proceed to hold the power button for 5 seconds. All three touch button start flashing and stayed on, but no joy, still vibrate when touching anything with screen turn off (not just no backlight, no image at all).
I manage to found out that holding the button nearly 10 seconds, it force a reboot and then was OK and charged at 70%.
I'm wondering what's the deal here. Is it a problem with the stock rooted rom?
Thanks

Xperia Go doesn't turn on. Is it dead?

I just bought a new Xperia Go. Yesterday I was using it until the battery drained completely. Then I charged for the first time and stupidly I tried to turn it on. The first time I charged it showed the battery icon, but then when I disconnect it, it won't turn on. I plugged it on again but this time it didn't show the battery icon. The red led is turned on, but I can't get it to turn on. I tried vol up and power button at the same time but nothing. The worse thing is I can't remove and reinsert the battery because I don't know how and I don't have the required tools.
Please help! ;(
May the battery is completely drained!! Just plug-in the charger n after sometime it'll show the battery symbol

try to charge it for few hours...
Ur phone is probably in the 1st situation of the following( xda calls this battery cycle i think )
1. Dead phone(no response at all)
2. Phone cannot boot but when trying to boot it shows a red led(which means the phone has a tiny amount of battery left)
3.Phone is charging and can boot
4. Phone is charged properly(100%)
So, in order to get to situation 4 u just need to charge ur phone for a while
Hi was your problem solved? I have the exact same problem right now... My Galaxy S7 was stolen about a month ago so i am using this rusty old thing and will only be getting the S8 by next week...
I have the same problem with my Xperia P.

I have the same problem with my Xperia P. I tried charge it fully a few times but when I turn it on it doesnt on. When I reboot or restart it, still it doesnt turn on or even vibrate (doesnt vibrate even once but the lights when restart or reboot turn to purple, after few seconds SONY LOGO will appear then shuts down. NOTE: THE LIGHTS (red,orange,green&purple) WILL JUST APPEAR WHEN IT CONNECTS TO WALL CHARGER... IT DOESNT RESPOND AT ALL WHEN CHARGER IS NOT CONNECTED
Hope you help me, please. I badly need it. Thanks in advance!

is LGOG Perm Bricked

I was bought a LGOG ATT model from US, it was working with full battery but suddenly in on condition, it goes blank and not able to on again.
when i insert power cable/charger cable it shows only stable red light (it is not flashing).
also i open the phone and removed the battery and then plug it with charger but still it shows stable red light (without battery).
as i m not able to switch on so not able to go in download mode or any thing else.
is it perm bricked???

I would do the battery remove again, leave it disconnected for at least 10 minutes. With no battery and no charger connected, press the power button for 10 seconds, then let it rest.
Make absolutely sure that you did not damage the connector for the battery to the motherboard. With no power cord, reconnect battery and try to boot. If a 10 minute battery pull doesn't work, it may indeed be bricked.
The phone can act very strange and then go completely normal forever also, some people have left it plugged in for hours with the red light and it magically began to work again. Best of luck.

I haven't used LGNPST but I understand that it does get stuck at 85%, from what I have read.
A lot of others on this forum have experience with flashing, try searching or asking someone. Glad your phone powers on again.
Same Problem
I know this thread is quite old but I didn't want to bother anyone by posting another thread about the exact same problem. Anyways, my phone is behaving in the exact same way as the OP's and I have tried the aforementioned fix to no avail. I know this is a bit of a toss up but does anybody have any other ideas?

Guys please help. Switches off automatically when powered on just after the sony logo

Last night i put my m4 aqua in a bucket of water just for fun..
Tthe phone was working fine after taking it out from the bucket, the battery was 10% at that time then after locking the screen when i pressed the lock button.. nothing showed up.. i thought its discharged and when i connected it to a charger .. first a red notification light of charging lights up and after 1 secs the red notification turns off and immediately turns on and then a sony logo appears in a white background and then the phone turns off.. and it keeps on repeating like this till the phone is connected to the charger and as soon as i unplug the charger the phone turns off..
Help please its stuck .. I dont know what went wrong ...
When i took out memory card from the slot i could find a little moisture on it.. Wonder what happened wrong with it..
Anyone knows the solution then please share it with me

Same happened but im not sure if water was involved im my case, i let it discharge completely so it would stop restarting for a night, after a couple of days the phone started working normally but the power button doesn't work and the power menu appears randomly. I think the power button is died because of the water but im not sure

what you mean by letting it discharge completely..
How you discharged when it couldn't be powered up..
Mine is restarting only when connected to the charger else it would just show the sony logo and then turns off

Mine had around 50% battery so it would restart all the time so i let it discharge and didn't charge it a couple of days so it would stop restarting and after some time it stopped restarting but the power button was dead

Has my LG G5 died over night?

Hey fellows,
I had to replace the power button and everything worked fine for at least 5 days now, tested everything, reboot ,shut down, start up etc.
Only had to fixate the metal plate on which the Power botton sits with some Tape so it will not wiggle around to much, in end it only helped a small amount.
At opening the Phone i accidentally ripped a really really small piece of the Vol Down click off, only the half of the black clicker is left but totally click able and responsive, antering the Recovery mode and Download mode is working.
Now to my Issue:
When i went yesterday to bed my LG G5 had around 60% Battery power left. I woke up today tried to Knock On the Phone, no chance, so i though strange is the battery empty? I tried to start the Phone with the Power button and it vibrates an the LG Logo with Android beneath it appeared but shuts down after 2secs.
I grabbed my Charging Cable plugged it in and it says Battery 0% with the Lighting Symbol, here the Same happens as well, shows it for 1-2secs and turns off.
After that it shows me The different Battery with the Loading Symbole in it and does the same as well 1-2secs and shut down.
Download mode does the same, shows it for 1 sec and turns off again.
Recovery mode does the Same but sometimes i get to the second choice if i really want to wipe user data etc.
I took the Battery out, kept pressing the Power button 40sec+
Took the battery of the Modular and clipped it in without the Battery, after that it shows me a Battery with a red question mark on it, but the Display stays on.
I forgot to added, even if i keep charging it it says 0% and keeps on the same behavior. Only gets a bit warm nothing else.
Now is my Question is my Phone dead? Do i need to get a new one?
Has anyone a Idea what i could try?
I would really appreciate help with this.
