[Q] Nexus s Battery Issue - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, new guy to the nexus forums. My friend gave me his never rooted nexus to try and "Unbrick". Last year his power button stopped working and then he updated to JB. It was fine, power button still didn't work but at least it booted. One day back in December his phone froze so, to reboot, he pulled the battery, as he usually did. IT WOULD NOT BOOT BACK UP! I have soft-bricked a lot of my phones via rooting and stuff but i have never seen this before. It:
a) no vibrate when plugged in/ press and hold power
b) will not boot when plugged in
c) while charging, camera area gets hot (assume that's area where processor lies)
Any ideas guys? is it the circuit board? Bad boot?
Thank you from Me and my friend! .

Might be a stupid suggestion, but just for the heck of it, did you try replacing the battery?
If it still won't power on at all with a new battery, I'd say the silicon is fried.

Hmm thanks for the idea, I don't know where to get a local battery cheap and he all ready moved on. Might just give up. I like it more than my s3 tho

No it does not....his power button didn't work so he had to pull battery and reinsert quick to boot when unplugged

3 button reboot

Ok...I've discovered that instead of a battery pull you can hold up on the volume button the camera button and the power button and you will reboot the phone. Works anytime and comes in handy if your phone freezes.

So I did this and I love being able to do this, especially testing my ROM out when I make small changes, but one correction, this shuts down the phone, not reboot. Either way, great find.
I actually like it turning off so I can easily boot back into clockwork to flash things.
That's awesome. Tho it did reboot, didn't shut down.

It's surprising that this is news... I thought by now everyone would have known about it.
Wanna know another little trick? Hold all four buttons (Vol. up, vol. down, camera, and power) and you'll be thrown almost immediately into recovery.

I just tried this (with it plugged in charging, no less) and confirms that this works.. and the BEST part is that it's not just 'recovery' it throws you into clockwork recovery
keep holding them and you'll get there.. (took like 2 seconds I believe)
I find this annoying. My phone reboots at least once a day while I'm at work because of this. I keep it in the stock samsung holster, and if I lean down to pick something up off of the floor, shortly later I'm greeted to my phone rebooting.

Nice now i dont have to shutdown first, thanks for this and thanks OP For the tip on reboot.
So it's tap vol up, power, and camera to reboot. And hold the same three to power off? That's great news I already had to order a new back cover because of having to do all those battery pulls for my stupid mistakes.

Nope, tap, press, or hold, whatever you do you will be shuting down your phone, and it is not just a shut down it is essentially cutting the power so it is instant.
interesting.... if you do the 3 button reboot, and phone is pluged into power, it simply turns off and all you see is the battery charging icon.... if it's not plugged in, then it will reboot
This is great, and all, and if it works when the OS is hung or crashed, it's the only solution.
However, I find the Reboot Widget from marketplace (need to be rooted) to be much easier in most cases.

[Q] Ultra Sensitive Power Button

i changed the title since that is not the issue any more. i re-melted the solder on the power button and it stoped the loops but now it just made it super ultra sensitive like its a touch screen button. any ideas?
so my phone just randomly shut off one night and it automatically turns on when i have my battery in and it just stays on the samsung logo for about 2-5 second and sometimes the touch key lights turn on but just turns back off and does the same. when i try to boot into download mode it doesnt go into it, it just show the image of the batter loading with the loading circle for about 5 second then shuts off. The phone its rooted but running stock. any help with be greatly appreciated!
If I searched for something like this I'd probably find info on the power button being stuck.

Already tried that solution, im slowly starting to think it is a hardware issues. there is no water damage at all.
Hey.
So I have the EXACT same problem...
Phone was on CM10 Jellybean (no OC). Randomly shut off and started to bootloop. Phone will start bootloop when battery is plugged in.
1) Put in battery while holding vol+/-
2) Put in battery while holding power vol+/-
3) Put in battery while holding vol+/- and USB plugged in (I believe this is the correct method of getting download mode)
4) Put in battery while holding vol+/- and USB Jig plugged in
5) Put in battery while USB jig plugged in.
I am all out of ideas. When there is a USB jig, the phone DOES get into download mode, only to immedialtly bootloop back into download mode.
Did you Odin or Heimdall back to stock (since you are in download) and see if it still loops?

[Q] NEED HELP! Screwed up ODIN root procedure, and GS3 is lifeless

Just got the Verizon GS3 from my employer; and, decided to root it.
It received the JB 4.1.1. OTA yesterday, after being activated; and, I tried to use the XDA posted procedure for rooting that new build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
Did all the prep, got ODIN and VRALEC bootchain loading, until ODIN showed green.
While waiting for the GS3 to reboot, I knocked the USB cable out of my laptop.
Couldn't get ODIN to continue, and the GS3 won't boot at all...100% black screen.
The only kind of response I get is when I connect the GS3 to the USB cable, and hold down the power button. After about 20 seconds, the computer will make soft pinging noises.
I've rooted a lot of Android phones. Had lots of problems, but never actually bricked one...especially one belonging to the company.
Have a completely bricked this poor phone; or does someone have a plan to offer?
THANKS, IN ADVANCE!

Have you pulled battery let it sit for a little then put the battery in and tried getting back into Odin mode? Of course without the usb connected

Appreciate the suggestion, Kintwofan.
Unfortunately, I had already tried that...took the battery out; and, let the phone sit for 10 minutes.
There is absolutely nothing when I hold down the Power button...no sound, no lights, no haptic buzz.
The only time it gives any sign of life is if I plug in the USB cable, while the battery is out. Then the upper-left LED glows red...even when I put the battery back in. However, after about 1 minute, the light goes out, and the GS3 will give out three short 'chirps'
Any other thoughts? Have I killed it?

Same for the droid x. Just put it back in bootloader mode and start the sbf over. The only real problem was if your battery was too low and your would have to find an external charger. That sucked and people would freak out.

I have 4 phones, I used OTA Rootkeeper on one, used the method above on two and the fourth is still on ICS, until this weekend.
I hope all works out well for you.
Unplug the usb from the phone. Hold Home+ Vol Down+ Power at same time, When it boots, then Vol. Up.
This is called Download mode. It WILL go into download mode if it shows a battery icon when plugged in.,
Then, open odin, plug the usb into the phone & continue on.
Just trying to power on from a soft brick will do nothing. It sounds like that is what you are doing.
Appreciate all the feedback.
I charged the battery in an external charger; and, tried to get back into ODIN mode.
I held the lower volume and home buttons down, then held the power button.
Nothing happened at all.
If I did it wrong, please explain how I should do it.
As always, thanks in advance!

Did the phone even vibrate? Instead of holding them down at the same time, do it in a sequence. Volume down, home button, power button. Hold each one down while you hold the next button down.

Sorry I didn't make it clearer. There was NOTHING on the screen at all.
What happened was if I plugged in the USB while the battery was out, a red LED came on (top left of the front of the device).
Whether I put the battery back in, or not, the red LED would turn off after about 30 seconds; and, the phone would give 3 soft 'chirps'.
The red LED doesn't go on, if the battery is in; and, there has been no other light, and there has been absolutely nothing on the screen.
Thanks!

This exact same thing happened to me when flashing (except I didn't knock the cord out). I tried all of the solutions found on these forms, and I even ordered a USB jig and nothing would work. I had the same thing happen with the red light coming on, wouldn't power on, tried the battery, holding the button combinations, etc.-still a no go. I finally gave up and had to ask for a replacement device unfortunately. I have an unopened USB jig from MobileTechVideos (I had ordered one from them and one from eBay) if you'd like to give it a shot with your device anyway.

I appreciate the suggestion. However, it was company property; and, I made the choice to screw around with it. As such, it is my responsibility; and, I won't scam Verizon or my employers to do some undeserved CYA.

So You've done nothing?
Okay, well first i recommend doing the "obvious".
1) Hold Down the Power Button
else
2)Load device manager on your PC and connect your Phone, anything coming up?
else
3)leave it in the charger overnight.
Also if the battery is dead, it won't show anything on screen, it'll be black only.
then when it has enough power it'll show a red light at the bottom.
Push and good the power button for 20 seconds. See if after it'll boot

Maybe try giving it a while on the chargee then toggle with the power button. I had a Lenovo tab once that did the same thing, it just suddenly died and I tried doing everything I could to revive it. So I just gave up and left it on the charger for a long time then gave it one last hold of the power button and presto! It was alive.

Hardware failures can occur on any device. My HTC One X died within 2 months of usage. That's why the manufacturer provides warranty to take care of it under such circumstances.

You need to use the volume buttons to select recovery option in bootloader and then press the power button to get there.. If the buttons are stuck or do not work, I'm not sure what you could do now other than rma.

Quick fix.. I bet it's your power button. My phone was doing the same thing over and over. With your phone, case off if you have one, barely touch your power button. If your screen goes off then time to take it apart and remove the power button. You can still turn on the phone via the USB cable when plugged in

No, nothing whatsoever. No sound, vibration or light, even when plugged in. Vol up, home and power, no recovery. Vol down, home, and power, no download. I think i might have toasted it somehow.

You should be able to turn the phone on by plugging in the USB cable, right when you do that, immediately hold down the home button + volume down. Then once the screen pops up, hit down volume button to restart the phone

Not helping. The phone has absolutely no feedback whatsoever to any action I do. If all else fails, i'm taking it to Verizon soon.

If its the power button, you might be able to take out the power button and try plugging it in to turn it on. I honestly doubt that's it though.
When did you buy it?
