Dead Infuse - Please help

Dear community members, my Infuse is dead I don't know why. It was charging over night and I just want to check the time when I noticed it was unresponsive. I though "I'ts just a SOD" but when I pulled out the battery an pressed the power button nothing happened, three finger trick and nothing...black screen no any light whatsoever even when I connect to my PC it is not recognized. Any Ideas?
I have Dman's Zeus 6 whit Script V6 SuperCharger.
I live in El Salvador and here is no any technical support...PLEASE HELP!!!!
I think it's just passed out :'( and if you think so also, I want to know if any of you have an Infuse for sale. I really love this phone because its big screen and wonderful performance.
Check the battery........if u have multi meter u can check it with that or the best way to check ur battery, Touch the battery pins with ur tongue and see if u feel anything.

That will short circuit the battery and then it WON'T work. Also 4v isn't enough to go across your tongue and feel it.
What will short short circuit ?
Just remove the battery and touch it with ur tongue u can feel the current mate.....don't jump on conclusion without trying it.
Thank you guys! I have tested the battery and is full charged (4.14V). Any other ideas?
I really appreciate your help and concern.
Guys I just opened the cellphone and the mainboard is fried
So now I'm lookin for buy the phone or just the mainboard.
Let me know if you have one for sale.
Best regards.

No... I gave it to BestBuy.. I will get a new phone in 3 days.. I have to install GB boot loaders first..
I want to install AOKP, without GB boot loaders i am getting rainbows.. So i want GB boot loaders first..
Heimdall technique failed for me..
I dont know what i have done, mistake..
I have done this but without install GB boot loaders...if you carefully see you can read and make almost everything with the rainbows CWM screen...I did it, tested it and then back to Zeus 6 which I think is the perfect ROM for my needs.
I'm too noob to messing around with boot loaders...LOL
I hope you get your phone back soon.

Replace the charging animation when your phone is turned off with a useful program

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.nomoarpowah
This apparently works for Samsung galaxy phones so it should work for our phone.
it can do useful stuff like turn your phone on automatically when its fully charged or at a set time which is useful because you can keep your phone off and save battery while you're sleeping and have the alarm still wake you up
I tried/used this on GB, but it hasn't been working for me under ICS. I'd definitely appreciate hearing if someone can get it running on the current crop of ICS ROMs!
I was a huge fan of NoMoarPowah when I was on stock. I used it as kind of a do-not-disturb feature at night.
This post from the NoMoarPowah XDA thread doesn't look promising for ICS support:

The app cannot support CM9. It requires Samsung system files to work, and they will not be present in anything from the CM tree.

Sorry I don't own this phone anymore. As far as I know, the app I linked is the only way to change the charging animation screen for this device, and it only works on stock samsung firmware.

Yup, you'll have to do a system dump, probably need to unlock boot loader etc, but chainfire is someone you'll want to reach out to.

What carrier or is it international brand? AT&T and Verizon have locked the bootloaders in the past making it hard to root!
Also can you show some of the theme changer in the settings, thanks.

Any screenshots yet regarding battery life? =)
It will be good for us, thanks!
When you get around to posting battery life screenshots can you make sure to post screen on time, brightness level, and what you used the phone for so that the number are more meaningful.
Nah, is normal
Yeah sorry I hadnt had a chance to get on XDA and respond. Battery life to be complete honest I am demoing the device 24/7 and so far on hard usage i'm getting 6-7 hours. But thats with the phone on full brightness and pushing the phone to its limits. Tomorrow I will be able to provide accurate battery life i will a free day and will be able to see how long it last without demoing it all the time.
I will so provide screen shots of my battery from yesterday and a screen shot from today.
Thanks for putting in contact with the right people I will contact them and do a system dump and hopefully get this started.
Maybe you can post sot time
Can you upload its Firmware? So we can extract some interesting stuff?
thanks
Yeah, screen on time (SOT) is the only battery metric that means anything to me.

You guys are so wrong on that one.
SOT is probably the worst way to tell a phones battery life.
Were Bluetooth, Locations and other things on? Screen brightness? What apps installed? What was on the screen? A web page? Gaming? (remember this is amoled and darks are easier than whites too).
This really needs to stop because it seems to have spread to a point where more and more people are calling this a metric when it's not.
There are way too many unknown factors that will greatly effect SOT.
He right. We need all the info not just SOT.

Does 360 Hibernation Master app work on Marshmallow for Z5??

Does anyone know if this app works on the Z5 using Marshmallow?? Please confirm.
Thanks!
I'll try and give you feedback.but keep in mind my Z5 is not rooted

Joseph,
Thank you for offering. That's fine, as I do not plan to root the Xperia X Performance when I buy it this summer either.
I have a similar thread going for the X Performance, and a guy in that thread already verified that it DOES work on the Z5 running Marshmallow! I'd already tried this app before on my Z3 (I now have the S7, but don't want to keep it, so waiting for X Performance to come out this summer so I can switch my S7 for that). It worked perfectly, but it doesn't work on my S7. But the guy in the other thread CONFIRMED it DOES work on the Z5 with Marshmallow too!
I would highly recommend Joseph that you skim through that thread, and then do yourself the favor of buying the full version of 360. You won't regret it. (But understand this app does not seem to work on Samsung phones for whatever reason. Not sure on others. Just know it does for Sony Xperia.)
Let me know if you do, how it goes, how you like it, and if ANY issues arise from having 360 on your phone.
Sorry for late reply.Was busy.downloading it right now.

No problem. Just remember to enable EVERYTHING in 360, get the full paid version, leave phone on but screen off (and NOT plugged in) overnight, and take note of what percentage the battery is at RIGHT before you go to bed, as well as first thing in the morning. See that thread for any other questions, and if not listed there, ask me here.
Thanks!!

Ok so on the Full version you had 0-1% battery loss overnight? Let me know please. And also how many hours was that?
If so, GREAT!! Yeah even 1% is a lot. lol You were probably like RIGHT on the border of that 1% when you went to bed.
It's not really called "Doze Mode". That's a Marshmallow thing. It's just the 360 app doin' its thing. lol

I agree. I'm COUNTING THE DAYS until X Perf is released. I hate that it's not 'til like June though. Wish it was May or even April. Don't know why Sony put it off so long? The Z5 came out like last Fall. April would be at least 5-6 months since the Z5's release, so that's when it should be coming out, not Summer. Sony needs to just release ONE phone a year and make it in the Spring cuz Spring is an awesome time to buy a new phone. Weather's getting warmer, women are wearin' less clothes, more fun outdoor stuff starts happening, etc! lol
I see this app is newer and has same UI with the one from you, also it has more downloaded and rated. I see your one didn't work on your S7, have you tried mine ever?

RyTekk,
No I haven't, but I'll try it tonight and let you know tomorrow.
Yeah it's very similar to 360's UI.
What is the message about the CPU lock not working on non-rooted phones though?

Of course you need to root before do something on kernel settings (CPU, GPU, IO,...).

360 has a CPU lock but doesn't require a root. So I dunno.

360's CPU Hibernation Lock didn't need a root, so maybe we're thinking about something different?
So I tried the Hibernation Manager app last night on my S7. It unfortunately had no impact at all on the battery life (6 hours of sleep). It went down about 3-4%, which is the same it does without any "power saver" help. I will stop by my parents today and try putting it on their phone (Xperia Z1s). Then tomorrow I'll have them check and see if it did anything and get back to you. Hopefully it works on Sony Xperia phones at least.
Unfortunately, 360 Hibernation Master apparently DOES NOT work on the Xperia X series. I have no idea why. Sucks. Tried on my brand new int'l dual-SIM X Performance, and it didn't seem to do anything.
I tried out a couple other apps that were similar but they didn't seem to work either. So I guess for the time being anyway 360 is only for the Xperia Z series phones. FYI
However, Stamina Mode DOES seem to have been properly fixed, so you can still use that.
Note: Just remember that if you use the Visual Voicemail app that after turning off SM you will need to go into VV's settings and re-enable VV cuz it doesn't seem to do it automatically.

US- Gear update out!

Just a heads up. My battery life tanked after the update regardless of what I did. What fixed it was recharging a couple times. For some reason that worked.

No, it's really crazy that the $300 version of the Gear S2 still does not have automatic sleep tracking. I wish I could just flash it to the generic Samsung 3g firmware and be done with T-Mobile, but it doesn't seem to be a possibility (I started a thread here, but no responses so far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/general/gear-s2-3g-t-mobile-version-flash-to-t3518844 ).
I'd also complain to T-Mobile directly, maybe if enough of us complain, they'll do something about it.

Hi rogerperk,
I have same Gear S2 732 in same firmware as you (in France), and for me too, battery drain is present
Sure, not as much as you, but now, I've got a "low battery alert 15%" at 23h00 when, before, I get to bed at 00h30 with 35-40% battery left ! For sure, there is something that change (same watchface as before) !
Sadly, 2 charging (and even more than 10 actually) dont change anything for me
Best regards
Not good. I recharged mine a couple times and did a factory reset and that seemed to do it. I'm actually getting far better battery life now. Over 24 hours and I'm only at 77%! I hope that keeps up! I cut out alot of stuff I don't use like NFC and constant wifi and heartrate checks. That sort of stuff.
