Can you not use CAPS for starters
Can you boot in to download or recovery mode at all?

Sorry about the caps and i cant boot into download or recovery mode at all.At this point I can Connect the charger and watch what happens.
And the only thing that happens is, I get the charging Symbol(Orange one) and that does not fill either, it just comes progresses to 2 bars (takes 2 seconds) and then Blanks out and this process continues until the Power cable is connected.:crying::crying:
There was no Firmware update or anything else that happened recently. At this point, I reckon its more of a Battery issue rather than a Firmware issue. That said, I will leave the prognosis/Speculation to you since you are the expert.
Thanks in advance !

Htc One S dead

Hello guys,
I'm experiencing something bad with my HOS. Briefly, yesterday morning I plug the phone from charger at 06.00 am. Play with it for a while and then go to work. Used it at work for a few phone calls until 10.00 am (so 4 hours on fully charge battery). Then at 10.00 am I went into a meeting and left the phone out of my sight for 20-30 minutes. When I came back from the meeting I realize that the phone was closed. I try to open it (power button) but nothing. Press power for 10-30 seconds with volume down - still no effect.
Then I took the charger (the original one that I always use to cherge it) and plug it, left it for 2-3 minutes and press power. The phone starts but all I have is the white screen with HTC logo and if I press the power button + volume down the phone goes into bootloader. That's all I can do with it for now.
I have stock rom, bootloader is locked and I never try to root the phone. Is it any chance to repair it by myself or I have to sent it to the repair shop.
many thanks in advance.

try holding the power button for 10-15 seconds, until all 3 buttons light up and the phone restarts itself. Let go of power button when after 3 buttons light up 3 times and see if that helps?
I've already do that. When I press power nothing happen. I'll have to plug into charger, let it for 2-3 minutes and then press power. The phone starts, white screen with HTC logo appears and then phone restarts and same white screen and .... again and again. If I hold volume down key then the phone enters into bootloader,I can use the options clear storage or factory reset, and restart the phone then same thing happens (white screen with logo and restart by itself). All these only when pluged. If unpluged nothing happen when I press power button.

Might sound silly but have you charged it for more then a few minutes because last time my phone died I had to charge it for about half hour before it would boot right.
I'll try this, but is strange if the phone run out of battery since it was used for about 4 hours since fully charged. Will be back with a feedback. Thanks for the tip.

Ya that's why I said it might be silly but still give it a try. I have seen odd battery drain where it could drain it in a few hours.
I say it's strange because I was on stock rom with same installed apps for about 2 months. Anyway the phone is now charging and I see something different with the led for charging as it turns orange as it should be when charging. Yesterday, when I try to start the phone,plugged in, the led was blinkering somehow. I'll be back with feedback later, I'll let the phone charge until led turns green.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Good news, after keep it to cherge until the led turns green, the phone boot up. I perform a factory reset immediatelly and an sd card clean up and now I'm installing my favourite apps. I'll be monitoring close my phone for the next days to see if sudden battery discharges happens.
Many thanks for your advice @darknites:good:

Np dude. Not sure where the drain is I used apps to look and it showed nothing and only seen it on sense roms and mostly only happened after flashing and setting it up but if you see it just roboot and it should fix it.
my phone is now dead the same way.
battery was fully drained, when turning on it doesn't go further than the bootanimation ( stays at htc one s logo).
Now i have fully charged the battery (green led) and it still doesn't boot up the right way.
Any help? I don't want to run the RUU.

Could try reflashing the rom if that dont work think you going to have too RUU it but use one that has the same Hboot as you got now.
What do you mean by not boot the right way? Can you pass the white screen with Htc logo? Did you try factory reset? Was your phone rooted?

Its not a good idea for him to use factory reset in bootloader since he not on stock rom.

I believe (but can not back it up) that you could have just re-flashed the boot image only. Still 10x probably.. altho that may have been the charging time, not the flashing.. who knows.

Tab dead help!

Right Soooo I left this tablet off the charger for quite a while. It died and I thought nothing of it. Went to charge it today and it just keeps looping on and off with the battery charging screen but it isn't charging. It's been on the charger all day but it simply isn't charging. Is there anything I can do?

Take off charger, wait for screen turn off, hold power button until the logo appears. See if you can do that.
It's completely dead lol. I've tried this

see if you can get it into download mode using the charger. theres a possibility that the problem is the power button.

I agree. You can try puting and removing power cord fast, so he'll boot, at least if you can go inside download mode, you can flash a stock rom.
again impossible it doesn't even have enough of a charge to stay on to put it into recovery mode or any other mode.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is what happens when lithium cells/batterys charge is below 3.5 - 2.8 volts , your options are: leave it plugged in till it wakes up an stays on ; plug it in til it turns off,unplug and plug in reapeating till it juices up enough to stay on ; remove the battery and plug back in as a reboot (requires opening the tab) ; or remove the battery and aply 5.0 volts @ 1.5-1.7 amps for NO MORE than 2 hours, then plug back into the tab and resume normal charging .( hope this helps you/your tab) never leave dead lithium uncharged for more than a couple days
sorry to say: bring it to service, that's not normal.
It should at least charge when it is switched to completely OFF

[Q] Bricked Infuse won't stay in download mode

My samsung infuse is bricked. It will boot all the way up to the at&t logo screen, then keep booting the at&t screen. Now, I cannot even get the phone into the download mode; once in a while it will but only stays there for about 5 seconds then shuts off. I cannot get the phone to power up by pressing the power button or even allowing it to charge. Can someone help me to get the download mode to stay on and also to help me unbrick my phone please!
Edit: If I put it in download mode the screen says to download a custom os press up volume or down to cancel/reboot. If I press cancel it does not reboot, it only shuts off even when plugged into my computer; not even a charge. If I were to leave it alone when the message comes up, after 5 seconds or so the phone shuts off anyways. Is this phone finally done?? I am able to get it into download mode now just about every time I try..if that's a good sign or not idk.
Try and get the battery fully charged or use a charged battery if phone is not charging. Will shut off even plugged in if battery too low

You might be right actually because I just remembered my battery was a bit low before I began Unfortunately I do not have another battery and since I cannot get this one to charge. I will try what you mentioned and report back. Thanks!

Tab not connecting to the internet?

I have the 3g version, P6800, and suddenly the tablet has lost the ability to connect to the internet. I was using the tab to read a blog a couple of hours ago and I've tried to use it again and nothing.
Posts won't load and YouTube app says no connection. Got home and connected to the WiFi and the same problem persists! My phone and my other tablet connect to the WiFi and connect to the internet no problem, so the problem less with the 7.7.
So I've cleared the cache and dalvik cache and still no connection! I'm going to try a fool data wipe next unless someone has any ideas?
Thanks for any help

Using the JB ROM with Skyhigh kernel.
Well I formatted the tab via CWM and then it it was stuck in a boot loop. Then I used Odin to install the ROM from scratch and well, it kept boot looping.
Got it into recovery to install CM10, but it wasn't CWM just standard recovery. And then it wouldn't let me go into download mode because of low battery, and when I plugged it into the mains it came up with the charging icon and then say it was at 100℅ battery. A couple unplugs from the mains and reconnecting showed nothing different.
After a couple of times it began the sequence of showing how much battery it has before it charges with it flashing on and off before it died.
Now there is no response from the device. I've left it charging all night and this morning I held the power button for 20 seconds and it made no difference. The tab stayed dead.
What am I to do now?

I would start by holding the power button and the up arrow key to get it into CWM to restore your backup. Another option is to can get it to boot in the download mode and in either case i would hold the buttons longer than 20 seconds. After you get it to boot you may have to install the original software and start again. Good luck and I hope these suggestions help.:fingers-crossed:
Try a different AC charger with at least 2A capacity and leave it charging.

Hmm, i would try to get into recovery/download mode if i could but nothing happens. Held the power button for 1 minute and if it hasnt worked by then, any more time is not going to make a difference.

[Q] Maybe bricked? Idk? Help please

Hey everyone
Verizon SGS3
Earlier today, phone shut off randomly during use.
Phone won't power on without a battery pull.
Trying to boot normally: can see "samsung" for a split second, phone shuts off.
Trying to boot to recovery: get to screen where in the top left corner it says "recovery booting...", lasts for a split second, shuts off
Trying to boot so I can use ODIN: before I can even hit volume up to go into download mode, powers down
I was hoping I'd be able to get into recovery and then just do a factory reset, but I'm not given enough time before it powers down.
Is there any way for me to factory reset from pc?
Would this even work?
Any help is appreciated

You aren't bricked, it sounds like either a battery issue or a power button issue. Does it turn on completely when it's plugged in?

It does not turn on completely at all and hasn't for several hours now. The best I can do it get it to begin powering up, into the different modes, and then i get a black dead screen. Even if i try to power back up right after getting the black dead screen, nothing happens at all. I need to do a battery pull to attempt again.
Up until this day I've never had any battery or power button issues

I think it's your power button, if it were hard bricked it wouldn't show anything. Those symptoms sound like the power button is stuck in the on position when you're powering it up.
If you're under warranty send it into Samsung and they'll troubleshoot it.

Do you know if Samsung is going to give me a hard time because it's rooted?
Verizon will for sure. Why dont u find another s3 battery and check it first. If battery is bad it will not turn on regaurdless of whether its plugged in or not. Power goes through the battery.
