[Q] Is my phone bricked?

I have a samsung galaxy S from T-mobile, It became unresponsive and it started for no reason.
It is a locked , never rooted no firmware or software updated ever. Just had some Apps from marketplace though no new apps recently.
this is what happened. I left it for charging and the battery was dry. i gotta a call, so disconnected a/c charging and I could not swipe answer button and the phone kinda went to freeze, then screen went black. I took the phone connected for charging and after some time tried to hit power button , it starts the flash logo and t-mobile logo screen and then to the home screen which was black except for some icons in the top toolbar.
so i started again and went on like 4 times and i gotta screen like ( i think downloading screen ) . thats it . THe phone never charged or started again, I tried 3 button combos and all the basic recovery steps for this and not worked. I have been hunting for answer last couple of days before deciding to write my own thread. I am now convinced my phone is fully bricked , what should i do now?

So you think your bricked... Well good thing is your not bricked.
The information you gave us is not very clear.
I would take a guess and I would say its the battery. Replace the battery with a new one.

Phone won't boot past at&t screen

Hello,
I have the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket i727 for at&t, stock non rooted or anything and I woke up the morning because I heard my phone make a sound and it was the Jingle that it makes after it vibrates, shows Samsung and then the screen goes white and the at&t logo appears, so my phone had just restarted itself and now it just get's stuck at the at&t logo and won't go past that screen. I have removed my battery and reinserted it and the phone doesn't turn on automatically only when I press the power button so I don't think it's sticky/stuck power button as to it just freezes at the at&t logo screen but to when I press the power button or hold it actually it just restarts the phone and doesn't turn it off only turns off if I remove the battery but doesn't turn back on when the battery is put back in. So anyone have any ideas on what to do to fix it before I just end up doing a factory reset or do you think I just need to do a factory reset, as it has been working fine for the most part, there were only a couple of other times maybe like 2 or 3 that the phone just restarted itself but it didn't ever freeze or get stuck like it is now and always just booted back up. I have also gone into recovery mode and wiped the Cache partition but that did nothing. so yeah any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Edit: well I went to recovery mode and just did a factory reset and well my phone got to the same screen and was stuck for a little bit but finally loaded up the getting started screen so hopefully this fixes the problem.

I recommend flashing a stock ROM with Odin if you want complete stock. Wipe data and caches before you do. Don't install the app you installed latest cuz that could be your problem.

[Q] Verizon Galaxy S3 w/ CGM dead

Hello
I have been running my Verizon galaxy S3 with cyanogenmod 10.1.3 for a number of months. Everything worked just fine, no issues. A couple of weeks ago, I updated my phone to 10.3 and it worked well. Then a few days ago it would began rebooting by itself about once per day. This morning, I went to grab my phone and it was working; but by the time I got to the car the phone was dead. No lights, won't go into recovery, basically hard bricked but I wasn't installing any type of rom or anything. Is there anyone who can help me figure this out or at least tell me that I am now the proud owner of a paper weight?
Thanks

Does it boot into download mode (hold power, volume down, and home)? Have you let it charge for a couple hours? Possibly it died from bootlooping?

I won't go into download mode, it has been plugged in for over 5 hours. There are no lights on or anything. I am unsure what bootlooping so I am unsure.

Phone stuck on Note 5 screen

My sons note 5 took an update the other night, woke up to just the Samsung Note 5 screen and it was very warm. We couldn't get it to turn off, it would just vibrate once then go right back to this screen. I hooked it up to my laptop and odin 7.0 back onto it. Everything went as it should have and it said Passed but still the same one vibrate and Note 5 screen. It at least has a maintenance menu now that allows me to turn off the phone, though the other options don't work (safe mode, clear data, reboot normally). Messing with it I triggered the custom logo with the unlock sign on Note 5 screen so now Samsung and Verizon are not much help. Any thoughts on what it could be or what to try next?

S3 Frontier Possible stuck button

Hi,
I've had the S3 Frontier a few years but yesterday I noticed it rebooting randomly.
I then noticed last night the buttons were unresponsive. Eventually after a period of time trying, I got the watch powered off and it then wouldn't come back on. After a while I noticed it had come back on by itself.
Buttons were still pretty unresponsive and the watch kept cycling through the menu, power options and restarting.
I managed to get a reset done via my phone but now it is stuck on the welcome tour on the watch where I have to press the back button but its not picking this up.
Anyone experienced this and know what the issue is?
Thanks in advance.
