Battery mode - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just grabbed Ann O1 after my vibrant OD'd on me. Updated to gb, used ROM manager to flash cwm 5.0.2.7, but when i flash any aokp roms, eventually the phone doesn't boot. Goes to the "LG" splashscreen, and then a black screen with a white battery shows up. Only way to boot back up is a factory/data reset. Am i supposed to only plug the phone in when it's on? Is this the known "offline charging" issue? Thanks in advance?

Yes, thats a bug. I think it goes like this.
Earlier there was no offline charging support(when a switched off phone was charged, it booted right up, there was no support for charging in switch off mode).
To correct this they tried to implement this offline charging but it did not work like it should.

In charger mode, only kernel and charger app is working...
The problem is in charger mode, cable pull out couldn't be detected, so you see charger logo again.
To fix: Pull out charger cable, wait 10 seconds, LONG PRESS (3-5 seconds) power button. If you see charger logo again, LONG press again. It will boot normally.

You could also try cm9 tinystream. This bug( weird offline charging support) is removed from it.

I've tried holding power from the battery screen again to boot, but it still doesn't boot. At this point, I'll just chill with the stock gb rom rather than have to deal with my tp2 when the O1 is borked lol. Makes me wish i didn't sell all 10 of the phones i had last year :-/... Yes,.I'm a recovering crackflasher!

I had this problem too, just reflashed my ROM, wiped everything. Didn't really matter to me.

I've been testing various roms and recently i'm using an ICS AOKP rom that is very fluid and stable. Due to the big rom size, I applied the data2SD tweak that came very handy to me.
The overall experience of ICS is addicting and I think than can no longer go back for the CM7 based roms anymore.
For the custom recovery I'm currently using the amonra 3.06 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844483 and no more problems have been shown since the CWM used before.

dead battery, & thats it...

im running a miui build from abt 2 weeks ago, idk how relevant that is... BUT i let my phone discharge completely til it died. now when its on the charger, it boots to the miui screen, sometimes even the lockscreen, then craps out. i get that the battery is too low to hold a charge, but wat can i do? i tried charging in download mode, but it eventually reboots. custom roms wont allow us to charge the phone while off, so anyone have any suggestions, as i am in this constant bootloop????????
Sounds like you need a new battery, the phone is supposed to shutdown long before there is damage to the battery but a completely discharged lithium battery may never take a charge again, but if you can't charge with the phone off then you may have other issues.
Id hop on Ebay and find a replacement battery. Them work from there

This is my experience i am on miui also and the other day I had the same thing happen and I just did the three button trick to boot into recovery and left it in recovery for about 15-20 mins then reboot and it started to charge. Hope this helps.
Yikes, I guess ill have to remind myself to never let my battery deplete. Although I thought it was recommended to let battery cash in at least once per month.

howd you get it to boot into recovery? when it boots, it goes straight from the circular dotted charging/loading symbol to my miui boot animation, NO samsung screen so i dont know when to let go of the power. ive tried at random times, but no dice. i dont have enough juice to unplug, boot into CWM, then replug

Pull and replace the battery and Hold both volume buttons and the power button at same time.... Phone will reboot, once you see samsung splash screen let go of power button while still holding both volume buttons and cwm should come up.
I Should have said while being plugged in. Mine was via usb

i never got to the samsung screen, but your first suggestion worked. when it booted to the lockscreen, i quickly unlocked, turned off wifi, gps, and adjusted screen brightness, then i wa able to boot into recovery and let it charge a minute... thanks for ur help & to the other the guy that tried
I've had this happen also with a totally discharged battery and CM7. Booted to download mode and wiped with Odin, reflashed CM7.
I had this happen with CM7 a couple weeks ago. A couple guys asked if I was using the actual Samsung charger and pointed out that it has some charging internals that work with a low battery situation that other chargers may not have.
So, were you using the Samsung charger or another USB power source?

Please help (Infuse possessed)

Here is my setup:
Latest MIUI ROM ported to Samsung Infuse
Thunderbolt! Tweaks (2.2.0)
OC'd to 1.6 Ghz (Not my problem, It's been OC'd for months)
This setup has been working for forever, But today it just seems that it won't boot into the ROM and I have not changed anything but install an app (Google TV Remote "Official") And my phone just boot loops somewhat "Plug in phone to power, phone boots by it self shows SAMSUNG text, Shows Galaxy Nexus loading screen, Lockscreen is only up for about 1 - 2 secs then it does a hard shutdown.
1: NO I haven't installed any mods or any other major cool things for my infuse for about 1 week, So yes it was FULLY working for 1 week with no problems.
2: Can't get into CWM either... (my battery is dead, can't use button combo)
3: Download mode works, Doesn't mean necessarily I want to use it though.
To sum it up my phone was working all day today, then I had to charge it up it was on maybe 3%, I come back just to check on it a hour later and it's rebooting itself over & over like it's possessed LOL.
By request I can upload a video on youtube..

It's a boot loop. Just go into Download mode, and get yourself back to stock and start over fresh.
You may have been oc for months but I assure u no minuit Tom is stable at 1.6...never has...eventually u will have issues...it is however extremely stable at 1.4...ands really...there is no difference in the speed or fiction between the two...that is in my opinion your problem...

I wouldn't go back to stock just yet...I've had this exact thing happen to me when I was on CM7, just boots to the lock screen then restarts. (not even a battery pull kept it from booting, it did it on its own) In my case all it meant was the battery was REALLY low.

Look at you going to all grown up! Well ill have you know. I go to college too! anyways. Odin and just back to your set up. Flash everything back shouldn't be hard, but do you really need to be OC. I rarely find the need to be OC.

G2x - overheat, won't reboot

Soo.. I overclocked my G2x at 1.2 GHZ running Eaglesblood 4.0.1. A few days later I was charging my phone and it got SUPER hot around the mainboard (the top area). Shortly after it was thrown in a pile of clothes and the battery popped out (oops). It won't turn on now. It recognizes the android recovery on the computer (pwr + up/dwn vol buttons) and I can flash recovery on it but it wont boot up. When i hooked it up to a charger (a wii) it displays the LG logo for about 5 seconds then the touch buttons lights up then it resets. Before today it would only display the LG logo for about .2 seconds then turn off (only when plugged into a computer).
What should I do? Could it be the battery, or did it overheat? Now, what should I do? Should I send in it for warranty (It had problems before anyways) and risk them being able to boot it and see that I OCd and rooted it?
Any help appreciated... Thanks

If you don't mind losing your internal sd card data you can try this and then flash the rom again to see if it fixes it.

I tried that (Thanks btw!). It formatted everything and sent the files over but it still does the same exact thing.
If I can't put a rom on it will they know I formatted everything? If so, will that void the warranty?

It seems like you have a stuck vol- button. Can you take a look and try tapping it lightly to see if it would release.
Don't know if they would if you have standard recovery... If you made a nandroid backup I can tell you how to push that... Then they should not be able to tell anything... Otherwise I think cwm is a dead giveaway

Yes, I forgot about cwm. I can flash stock t-mo recovery on before I send it in. How would I go about pushing a stock rom onto it?
Also, I don't think I have a stuck vol- button. I've messed with it countless times. I suppose I could take the phone apart and see if it's really stuck. Do you have any other advice? As of now the phone only turns on (it displays the LG screen but after about 5 seconds the logo disappears and the touch buttons at the bottom flash and it repeats. ONLY while plugged into a power source, though)
@zlopp - thanks!

You can use the reference link in the batch cleanup op. That one pushes stock 2.3.3. I don't think it is rooted either.
Does your phone boot loop or does it boot back into recovery?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
bootloop. I can't get it to go into recovery. It won't bootloop, or boot at all, unless plugged into a power source. Does that sound like possibly a failed battery? It was taking forever to charge and whatnot a few weeks prior..
Unplug the phone. Plug it into the wall. Hold the battery in the socket, but dont let it touch the copper conntectors. Turn the phone one. It'll show the lg screen. Before it turns itself off, plug the battery in.
let it charge for $15 mins and redo CWM recovery again.
6 month ago one of my friend g2x fried up the main boardduring charge, I have to paid $100 for broken phone to get the main board replaced

I can't believe it but it worked! However, once I flashed a rom and loaded it started giving problems. The battery indicator said 999% and the mainboard began getting a lot warmer than usual. Then it shut off. I turned it back on and the LG logo came up for 1 second then the screen flashed (A brief flash full of what looks like artifacts if a videocard were to fry) and it repeated the cycle. It looks like im sending this POS back to t-mobile

No problem. I was pulling my hair out when my phone did it too. It took a lot of experimentation to figure it out!
Now, onto the next problem. I suggest you run the g2x nullifier script to clean out anything on the rom. It might be messing with the phone. Then flash something known to be stable!
My phone also did the 999% thing. It was messing up a lot too, but the nullifier fixed it. Try it out

This SAME EXACT thing is happening to me except I had NO issues with the phone before. The battery had died down after a normal day of use, I charged it that night and then I wake up to it not powering on. Then with charger only a continuous bootloop of the white LG logo

Red battery icon on boot.

So,
I left my tablet charging overnight with the dock attached, came back this morning and tried to use it, only to find that every time I boot it up WITHOUT the power cable directly attached to the tablet itself it just pops up a red battery icon then turns itself back off.
If I plug the charging cable directly into the tablet and power it on, everything works fine and it boots into Android which displays 100% battery.
I'm at a complete loss how to fix this.
Strange.
I think there is a way to wipe the battery stats in recovery. See if that helps.
Tried it, no luck either.
If you boot it using the power cable, does it work after the power is unplugged?
The only other idea I would suggest is the nuclear option and fully wipe it and see if it does it from a fresh start.
Yeah once it's booted it works perfectly fine until reboot.
I've thrown a stock ICS ROM on there with Easyflasher and even gone all the way back to stock HC and let it update itself, still the battery icon on boot.

Could be that your battery is aging and, during the boot process, the tablet is requesting too much power from it?
So the battery is not able to keep up with this demand, output some lower voltage which is detected as empty battery?
Once you are running on battery, is your tablet stable under heavy CPU load and max display brightness?
Just a wild guess, maybe the battery has nothing to do with this issue....
Everything works great once it makes it past boot, which is what's so confusing.
Well, I decided to just try attacking it with every brick repair/system restore tool available, and the Tubuntu flasher seems to have managed to fix it.
God knows what that has to do with phantom battery issues, but just flashing the included Prime image has finally rid my tablet of the dreaded battery icon.
Thanks for the update. Glad it is sorted.

Battery?

So I just picked up this s3, it will turn on but shuts off halfway through galaxy splash screen. Boots into recovery and Odin mode just fine, prior to purchasing we plugged it in, got it to boot and did a factory reset, to clear privious owners data, and it went fine, did it reboot and took me to setup. Satisfied with its performance I went ahead and made the purchase, upon unplugging it shut off, as I expected if battery was indeed shot. What gets me is I let it charge, unplugged, booted, shut off at splash screen, plug back in and says its still fully charged. Boot into recovery and indeed, 100% battery. I haven't gotten around to flashing twrp or rooting, was wondering if anyone has experienced this?

Anyone got any ideas? Just got home, am able to boot past the splash screens as long as its plugged in but once I try to start using it (going through setup/tutorial) it ends up rebooting, computer can read phone in odin/recovery modes but don't see a point reflashing stock firmware if this phone was never touched, completely stock unrooted, just a factory reset upon purchasing. I've read somewhere about a stuck power button, is that common among the Verizon s3? If so ill pop it open and check it out.
Phone was already on 4.4 when I got it, I downloaded and flashed stock firmware (ne1) via odin, I got the whole way to the end of setup and as soon as it started loading the homescreen it cut off and went to the green battery charge icon when phones off. Everytime I try and boot it, she'll go through all the splash screens and ill catch a very short glimpse of the homescreen and it shuts off. Also it HAS to be plugged in still, or else it just shuts off halfway through initial "galaxy s3" splash.. I don't understand...
Have you tried a new battery? Even if it's plugged in it won't run if the battery is completely shot.
Also if you indeed have a Verizon S3 on NE1 firmware you will not be able to install TWRP as the bootloader is locked. You will be able to root, however.

The stuck power button seems to affect users IN recovery mode too, it seems like phone randomly reboots in recovery.
You can pick up a new battery from amazon for like $7 I think, its been a while, but might be worth it.
It could also maybe be some issue in transferring charge from the battery to the main board, meaning maybe bad connections/contacts.
Is it plugged in when it reboots, because that may indicate poor contacts, since the charger alone isn't able to power the device (ex I used to be able to take out my LG Ally battery when plugged in and it functioned fine).
Good luck!

Turns out it was the battery all along, found a battery that the contacts matched on (even though it was only 1650 mAh) wedged it in with paper and it booted just fine. Found a battery on craigslist that night and has worked great ever since, unfortunately PO had already updated to 4.4.2 so im stuck with that Thanks for the response, I just found it odd that the battery held a charge just didn't work.. maybe I should check the contacts on that and clean them.
