[Q] SGS+ defect

Hello people!
I've bought SGS+ 2 days ago. It has a strange problem that doesn't the phone hard to use, but I'm afraid that there is something wrong with hardware and I'd like to hear your opinion.
What is the problem?
1.Turning on: When I push and hold the power button on the screen shows a baterry and it looks like it is charging, but there is no charger plugged in. Then I have to press power button once more to get the right boot to android OS.
2. Battery icon behaviour: After the android OS boots I see that the battery icon has a lightning sign on it like it is charging but its not. Same thing appears in Settings->About phone. It shows charging(USB) or charging(AC). Battery usage is always shown as 0 sec and:
-100% for the screen
or
-nothing
or
-lot of processes including android OS twice(one with 38% and the other one with 12% etc.)
3.Samsung Kies mode automatically on: After first boot The phone behaves very strange, it opens MTP Application every 1 second as well as it running Multimedia scanner everytime. I tryed to change mode for Mass storage in USB settings but it says I have to plug out USB cable(but it is not plugged in).I need to reboot my phone and then Samsung Kies mode turn itself on only once and behaving like it connects to the computer when I press home button I can use phone normal then but battery still looks like it is chragining.
4.Wi-Fi strange behaviour: I can connect to Wi-Fi but then in the broswer when I want to browse the site before it starts to load an error shows up "There is no internet connection" and I have to options [Settings] or [OK]. Whatever I choose Page will load it self and I can browse it. After choosing another page I have to press OK again and this pop up window shows before loading every single page.
What did I try to do?
I used ODIN to install the newest original 2.3.6 ROM(only one file tar.MD5). I got it done but problem is not solved(expect the one thing:when I turn on the phone in this clear 2.3.6 ROM there is no need to push the power button twice, the battery doesnt shows up at the start of booting like it was in branded 2.3.6 from PLAY all the others problems are still here)
My "fears":I'm afraid that there is something wrong with the phone hardware itself. I want to try to root the phone and install CM9 or 10 in hope it will solve the problem.
My question is could you tell me what can be wrong with my phone and if a repair service will repair my phone. I have the receipt but my warranty has no stamp etc. If its needed I can do a short video and put it on YT so you can see the problem on your own eyes.

Try to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe battery stats and wipe delvic cache accessing the recovery mode. You can access the recovery mode by switching on the phone by pressing and holding vol-up and power button. Hope it helps.
Thank you

unfortunately I did this already and still nothing. There is also a strange bug that Ive seen few hours ago. If I plug in USB cable or charger only to the phone(not to computer etc)the phone will stop freaking out and everything works fine then but I dont want to keep my phone with usb cable or charger sticked to its mini USB port.

Then it would be better if you get your phone to the nearest samsung service... It may be a hardware defect.

[Q] P3113 black screen continous reboot the battery charge but can randomly turn off

Galaxy tab 2 7 P3113. Actual ROM: pacman based on android 4.2.2. ROM used when it first failed was a 4.1.2 stock based rom for P31xx).
i never dropped the tablet. the problem started after connecting to the pc for transfering photos.
it simply shutdown on connect and when this happen the device stay off even when i use the power button. cant use recovery or go in download mode. the only way to start the system is to use wall charger and the recovery or download mode buttons when the batterie icon started to show the charge animation. the date and time reset. i can disconnect the charger and use the device for some time but can randomly go black (no power) and the same thing happen... cant use power button or go in recovery or download mode. when the device work i can shutdown, power up and reboot normaly until it happen again.
seem to be a problem related to battery power. the battery charge and keep charge like it should, can be a problem between the battery and the board or maybe a failure of the board itself. (i know date reset on pc because there no power to keep in memory. seem to be the same on this tablet.) sd data is fine. i ask here in case it can be solved by other way than returning the device or open it.
was using a custom rom when the problem started. i tryed some other rom with full wipe with no effect.
i have seen similar issue but in my case the battery actualy charge to 100% and keep his charge normaly.
any idea how to fix this? if the only option is a return to ssamsung for repair i would like to know the step required.
note: when it fail and the device is connected to pc i ear constant connect/disconnect sound from pc and it look for omap4430 driver.

ok , another thing... i tried to connect it to my pc this time it work and i was able to transfer stuff to it. i unpluged and pluged again, no failure... the only thing i did was a few gentle tap on the back of the device to see if it was related to a bad connection to the battery. i also did a factory reset. will see if the device can stay unconnected without failure. anyway i have to wait for samsung reply.

Mi4 hard brick and onlys red Led blinks

Hi guys
My device is Mi4W 3G/16G. That morning i got up and turned on my phone but the screen was black and could not turn it on.Then I used MiSuitePC to fastboot.It automatically downloaded and flash Rom (seem it was China Rom but my device used Global Rom). But after flashing the device didn't boot up. So I tried to flash Rom by test point .It was successfully flashed by test point. But i still can't turn it on. I put it on charge, the red Led blinks. Connects and then disconnects when using data cable to connect with PC. The connect-disconnect loop goes on for as long as it isn't unplugged. Now, i cannot enter fastboot mode or recovery . Does it has hardware issues such as Pin, main,.. ?. Anyone encountered this problem?
Thanks.

I met the same problem but I don't know how to solve it

I know I may be 4 years too late, but this is usually an issue of an overdischarged battery, maybe leave it on a charger or open the device and check the battery voltage.

Issue with Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC520TL

Hello all
just before i get started i did have a thread here regarding this issue before but sadly unable to find it now so seems i need to start over....
this is more of an update on what has been done so far but will just give detail about the issue from start
when this phone came to me it was not functioning i have no clue to what the wife done to it.... it appears that it may not be charging and something is stopping it from charging..... the charging indicator is on (( orange )) and the battery will display on screen with a lightening bolt in the center.... if i plug into laptop the laptop will sound off the USB connection and disconnection alert will do that 3 or 4 times
pressing power button will make phone vibrate and will display a battery with the lightening bolt assuming that means battery is flat as a pancake
holding volume up and power button brings me into the recovery option total of 3 options show 1) normal 2) fastboot 3) recovery whatever i select say for example recovery it will display the Asus and powered by Android this will last for about 3 to 5 seconds before going off again
so that is the state of the phone as of now and even after other things i have done as i will mention
in the past i have come across 2 phones with the very same issue the first one i flashed my self that phone only shown a charging indicator light but i found the flash tool and rom from the Alcatel website and it fixed the issue so assuming the same would apply with this Asus also the other phone i had with same issue was fixed with a flash
so here is what i have done so far using SP flash tools and following instructions from different places i have successfully flashed over the Stock Rom done it under download only also format + download and even tried firmware upgrade but i am still stuck with the same thing as mentioned above
obviously after flashing the phone it needs to power up to complete the setup process but as is clear i cannot do that if the battery has little to no juice
so what i am looking for is a solution to getting the phone to charge again or a way to charge the battery by other means (( bare in mind this phone has built in battery )) (( battery has been replaced new ))
what could be causing the phone to not charge or at least give battery the power it needs i ask because i do believe the phone is giving the battery some power but very little..... the way i look at this situation is like installing a sound card on a PC but not installing the driver the PC knows the sound card is there but cannot work without the driver same seems to apply with the phone
if i disconnect the battery from the main board the laptop will not pick up the phone even if i press down on the volume down button as i do when using SP flash and the orange charge light flashes so i don't see the issue being with mainboard but more likely a software glitch maybe the MTK chip is not doing its job properly or maybe it thinks the battery has full charge and stops the charger from adding more juice when in fact battery is flat
so can anyone enlighten me to what could be the problem and a solution
thanks in advance

Phone dosen't turn on,help!

Hello there,i am new out here and my native language isn't english so i am saying sorry by now.
My A7 2018 rested on my desk,with 10% battery,and suddently the phone shuts down.It has happened to me before,but somehow i was able to turn it on and didnt have problems since.
Sometimes the phone's battery ran out fast when it was like 30%.
I plugged in the charging cable and it showed me a charging-logo-like thing but i cannot post any links here since i am new.
I thought i drained out the phone's battery and i let it rest and charge for like 30 minutes.
I did a force boot thing where u hold the down and power buttons for 20 seconds but nothing happened.
Sometimes the phone turned on but closed back on at the booting where it showed powered by android.
I plugged in the phone into my computer and into device manager at other devices it showed me exynos7885.Usb debugging is off if that helps.
I called samsung support and they have told me to bring it in for warranty at my phone carrier where i brought it from but i can't bring it in because it is scrached and the camera back glass is cracked so it dosent meets the requirements for my warranty.
I have all my photos,phone numbers,conversations and passwords on it so please help because i didn't back them up!!!(lesson learned)
Please help!!!!

Try reflash stock rom with odin. As you cant get into download mode. You may have to use fastboot to boot into download mode.

its so easy, go to odin mode and make sure that you've already downloaded the stock rom and use odin for flashing. If you dont know how to use just search it on youtube or here in xda for guide.
