Eken T01A not booting up - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys, I'm having an issues with this chinese tablet. I purchased it 4 days ago, and after letting the battery reach 3% or so it suddenly showed me a red exclamation mark over the battery (i thought it was default icon for critically low battery, I'm a noob to Android also, so I don't know if it is or not the default icon), then the tablet shut itself down. As I was trying to put it to recharge via the wall plug I got a weird battery icon with a triangle with an exclamation mark inside that triangle... What just happened I have no idea... it's a brand new device... As I've let it recharge (the recharge led was on) I also noticed that it's not actually charging the battery at all no matter how long I've let it charge... It won't boot up either, of course... Since this device has no HOME button I cannot try to acces the recovery menu, or whatever it's called. It only has volume up and down button and the power button. And I've tried all the combinations: volume up+volume down pressed at the same time, volume up+power, volume down+power, all the buttons pressed. No recovery menu. And also today after I returned home I wanted to try to recharge it one more time. Now the recharge LED doesn't light up anymore. I would like to add that this device has no removable battery and it's under warranty, but before sending it to the place I've bought it from I want to know if I can make it work without voiding the warranty. What's there to do? Thanks in advance for all the help I'll get. And sorry if I've made any mistakes or if my writing isn't good, English is not my native language. Seems I can't post links... I've wanted to try and show you the battery icon I'm getting when I try to boot up and/or recharge the device.
EDIT: I've put the icon as my avatar, hope it helps. (cheating the system FTW)

Can't power on my Tf700 - power button not working

Hi everyone,
Today i faced a problem with my tf700T, i tried to power it on but i couldn't.
I tried all the following steps but with no luck at all:
1. Normal press on power button, nothing happens.
2. Cold reset (pressing power & volume down buttons for very long time), nothing at all (no vibrations, not a single sign of life).
3. pressing reset button. nothing
4. suspecting that it's a screen problem. i pressed volume down/up , but no vibration occurs (i.e. the tablet is not turned on)
The tablet is fully charged, when i connect it to the charger the led shows green light.
I tried to connect it also using usb cable to a pc (led doesn't show any light) and left it for hours. tried to power on again, but no luck. Needless to mention that it's not detected by pc also, since it's turned off.
Now i am out of ideas, i can't think of anything else to do.
If anyone can help me with anything to try, i will be very thankful.
Thanks
PS: i searched before posting this thread but i didn't find a relevant post. If there's a similar post, please guide me to it and i apologize for duplicating it.

I think you alredy tried everything in the book. It's time to send it out for repair. Note: Even some how it turn itself back on later, I still recommend to send it out, because it's not NORMAL at all, possible defective Power button, main board etc...

Thank you, i wanted to make sure i didn't miss anything. I will contact their support.
But i'm curious about "turning itself back on later", do you know how could this happen and how much does it take to occur ?

Xoom is dead!

Hallo everyone,
I have a motorola Xoom wifi (mz604 i guess)... Once (almost 1 year ago) i installed the touch recovery and a ICS stock rooted rom.
It worked always fine.... today I went to check my email, and the xoom was off and i couldn't turn it on... I thought it was the battery, but when the battery is empty, when you try to turn the xoom on you see a red blinking led on the top (next to the front camera)...
But i put the xoom to charge, (the white led on the bottom went on) and when i came back home the led was green.
I tried to turn the xoom on, but surprise, nothing, no reaction, then y plugged the charger once again, and the bottom led went green, but i still can't turn the tablet on.
I tried all keys combinations that are possible.... Power + Volume up, Power + Volume down, Power + Volume Up and Down, Just volume down, Just volume Up, both volume keys...
Then i tried to connect the xoom to the PC, and also no reaction, nothing in the Device Manager.... (i have Windows 8)
Someone have an idea to solve this problem? Or is my tablet really dead?
Thank you very much.

Might sound a bit basic, but when you did the key combinations, did you hold the buttons down for 5-10 seconds? I think power plus volume up is reset button.

Murderer!!! JK
.....and you're making sure to press Volume up and then Power?
Hi Luinwethion,
My Xoom is in the same state you described. It happened this morning. There is a white light while charging and a green light after some time. I didn't get any response, with any keys combination.
Have you fixed yours?
Can you send me any tip to bring it to live again?
Thanks in advance.

Take the back cover off, on the bottom side of battery there are two wires-black&red- take them off the socket for 10minutes, when you connect it back again xoom should work!
Quick q: do you hear that click sound when pressing power button?
I have the same problem , my xoom went off without doing anything and it doesn't boot up!

I'm in the same boat - the Xoom (USA WiFi) hung up while playing music - I rebooted it (power+up volume) it recovered, but then all the apps started crashing - I rebooted it again and it did not boot - just a blank screen. Battery light shows a charge when connected to a charger.
Does someone have instructions on how to remove the back cover?

It looks like the latest Google Play Services updated has dropped support for our Xoom's
Mine loads, then more GAPPS errors thank you can shake a stick it - if i let the screen time out following a forced reboot it doesnt come back on.

Hi guys,
I'm having Samsung GT-P6800.

Me too!!!
Any solution???????
If you didn't use it for a week or two battery could have run empty. Deeply discharged . Maybe you're able to revive your device whilst plugging in it's power cord and be patient. It could take a while. Fortunate if that's all.
Something like here.
Boot stucks on samsung logo. When I try to charge I see battery with "wait" indicator, no charge progress shown.
Is it dead battery or something other?
Hi guys! I'm having this exact problem as well. Haven't used the tablet for some time, and now it won't turn on. I have tried charging it for a loooong time. Currently it's been charging for 8h,and nothing. I've tried different usb-adapters, but can't find the original one at the moment. Any input or ideas would be appreciated.
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
its probably because of the battery discharge, but if you charged it for a long time and it is still stuck on boot, maybe your rom has problems.
try to hold power and volume up see if it enters recovery, if not try holding power with volume down . if one of these 2 works out, flash a fresh rom. hope your problem solves .
service center helped me to bring device back to life. they replaced board that holds charge connector and that solved problem.

[Completed] [Q] razr m wont turn on after super su rebooted it?

Long story short. I finally got brave enough to root my phone. I did it successfully. then I think I killed it . http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...-droid-razr-m-xt907-183-46-15-t3030852/page58
Then, while trying to get the Verizon wireless hotspot hack to work following these directions, http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-m/general/guide-faq-how-to-root-boot-unlock-t2869432, I got to step 2 and for some reason the changes wouldn't save. so after doing some searching, I read that another person had tried another superuser app and was able to save their changes. So, I downloaded the superuser app and took off the original super SU. Then I kept getting an error that said, I didn't have root access. So I downloaded the original app. I had before from the play store and proceeded to replace it. The app installed fine and then said that the device needed to be rebooted. I hit okayand the phone turned off.
It never turned back on. Pressing the power button for any length of time will not turn on the device. When I press the power button along with the down volume button and hold them after releasing the Motorola logo comes up and then the phone goes dark again. like it's off. It doesn't have any blinking indicator lights nothing. When it's connected or disconnected from the computer. My PC makes chiming sounds like normal, even though the phone looks like it's completely off.
When I plug it into a charger, it stays completely dark, with no indicator lights like it's off. While its plug-in if I push and hold the power button still nothing. if I push and hold the power button and the volume down button, while it still plugged in,the Motorola logo comes up and then nothing again like it's powered off. The second time I repeat that procedure. The battery indicator comes up showing that it's charging. And just to let you know that the first time when all this happened and I saw the battery indicator it was charged at 80% still, so that's not the problem.
so my question is, did I brick my phone? is it permanently bricked? Is there anything I can do about it? or should I just look for a new one?
thank you for any help you could offer.

Without access to the bootloader it is going to be difficult. I recommend you post your question in the dedicated help forum for your device, in case you can get some help from there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr/help

Gear S3 button power on/off problem

Sorry for my bad english. I use google translate.
Hello good day.
I tell you my odyssey.
A month or so ago, scrubbing dishes, my watch got very wet by the bottom of the bottom button. I go into a continuous reboot with an on-screen message that says REBOOTING ... It's as if it got caught. I dried it the best I could and it didn't give problems again. I did all this as quickly as possible so that no sequels were left.
After this mishap for a while if the clock runs out of battery at all and I put it to charge, when it reaches 100% and I remove it from the charging base, when trying to turn it on there is no way. It does not turn on. The only way to turn it on is to put it back on the charging base and press the power button.
Yesterday I put it to charge because it went off completely and when I was carrying a 4% load I turned it on again leaving it on the base. At the time I return and the clock off and the charging light of the base flashing in red ...
I already changed the motherboard and the battery in its day. It is no longer under warranty.
Any idea where to throw? Thank you.
P.S. It has given me to turn off the clock with the 92% battery. Now it doesn't turn on. That is to say that the power button leaving it pressed to exit the shutdown menu if it works but once the same button is turned off to turn it on it will not ...
My problem in a video. In spanish. Sorry.
Currently experiencing the exact same issue with my Gear S3 Frontier. If i keep the top button pressed in, it boots normally and stays there, but if i let go, it acts like its being constantly pressed, and thus, restarts the watch in a loop. Have you ever found a solution to this?

Sounds like you might need to buy and install a new power button connector? They can be ordered online and are quite inexpensive, IIRC. Edit: Yup, still available: https://rounded.com/samsung-gear-s3...ic-sm-r770-volume-flex-cable-gh59-14696a.html
