[Q] sensation xl major problems

My sensation xl had one major problem initially- aftr about 2 months of getting it the battery issue started where instead of a solid charging led, there began alternate flickering of green and orange led...in a few days it stopped charging when connected to the charger but the lights kept flickering and I had to switch off to charge. Then later led started flickering even when switched off. In between all of this I have sent my fone fr repai thrice and I don't know why they won't replace it! Since yesterday my fone hangs up and switches off then switches on itself by the screen freezes up. It is so frustrating!!
Has this happened to anyone else??
Oh and I did a factory reset twice last night and now the bottom of the screen heats up within 2minutes of normal use! (I don't play any games, since its after reset, there are no apps either)
does anyone have any idea what the problem might be??? its giving me a lot of anxiety and my service provider(3) is least bothered!

[Q] Samsung GalaxyS2 won't power on

Hi everyone, I appologize in advance if this has been posted and resolved, but I couldn't seem to find anything after numerous searches.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 that I have had for JUST over a year (i think June 30th) Everything has been fine, no problems and today I was on it, working fine and then all of a sudden it shut off and then started to reboot. Only when it powered back on, it showed the black SAMSUNG GALAXY SII powered by Tmobile start up screen, then went black, then the startup screen appeared again, then went black...repeat.
I did a battery pull for 2 minutes, same thing. Did a battery pull for 1 hour, same, I left it on the chargert for 4 hours and while on charger kept blinking on and off but now only the grey battery (even now off the charger)
It has never been rooted, or updated or anything like that. There is no water damage at all.
I have a wall charger for the battery only and an extra battery and have tried charging both batteries with that and still no luck.
I have also tried plugging it into my computer to see if it would boot up that way and nope. Still just the on and off dead battery, not even the startup screen.
HELP PLEASE!?

power shortage?
Has there been any kind of problems with your electric house system? that happened to me once, and it was due to a power problem at my house, it basically blew off my battery. Forget about battery pulls. Go to a store and ask them to lend you a battery for a second. If it powers on fine, it's the battery. If it doesn't i think you should get yourself a new phone, or try to get it fixed at the customer service. Sorry for the bad news man...

Nope, no problems with electricity, and neither of the 2 batteries will work!

Did my S3 brick itself?

Looking for any help or guidance here. I searched the forums and have found limited info fitting my situation.
My S3 is rooted running Jelly Beans Build 15, today I was sitting here playing a game the phone was in use for a while so it was warm to the touch as it can normally become... mid game there was a slight flicker of the screen and it DIED.
Since then I can not get any power back. I pulled the battery, and tried to power up I get a vibe then nothing happens. I've tried to reboot into DL or recovery all it will do is vibe then nothing happens.
I plugged it into the charger and it will vibe, the LED doesn't come on, and the battery icon on the screen will flash on and off the screen, each time it appears there is a short vibe.. with all that the phone won't boot.
I've had it about a year. SO did it just sh!t the bed on it's own??

My first S3 did almost the same thing one day. My wife and I both got them on launch day and mine always seemed to run out of battery a bit faster than hers. One day, it got really warm in my pocket and the battery started draining out of control, it dropped 10% in a few minutes and just kept going until it was dead. Plugging it into USB to charge, it vibrated, I got the big battery icon on the screen, then reboot, vibe, icon, over and over again. I had to exchange it with Verizon.

Any chance you could get your hands on a different battery to try? I was in class once playing some dumb mini putt game some guys played next to me, and my phone just completely shut off. I couldn't get it to turn back on and at the time it turned off I had ~half battery. I got back to my room and put a different battery in it and it worked fine. I charged the battery that wouldn't work and it now works fine again. Not really sure what the problem is though...
But yeah. Find another battery to use to get it to boot back up

So the phone is alive and working. It seems there may have been an issue with the battery level and a bad reading. When the phone died it read 20%, I hooked it up to a usb power cable on my pc and work and it didn't work.
When I got home I plugged it into the OEM charger and it was showing the battery was essentially dead and charged the phone back up...
That's all that happened... strange but true

Then it didn;t brick itself..... it had help.

I think you have the same problem I did. When my phone completely dies and I plug it to the charger the battery charging icon goes on and off or if I get lucky stays on and charges it. But I put the same battery o. Another phone it charged instantly. I got a replacement from verizon.

Bluescreen with following reboot

Hello everybody,
a friend of mine bought my Motorola Moto G. But he is having a lot of trouble. After an unexpecting but markable time a bluescreen appears and the phone starts to reboot.
He told me, that it also happens after he did a factory reset. Also his SIM-card is a normal card which he received from the provider and is not cut to micro-sim by himself. He tried it with 2 different providers. Same problem...
I took it back and made a test about 48 hours. Nothing happend. I also did a factory reset. After I updated the firmware to 4.4.2 also nothing happend. The system is not rooted and the bootloader is still locked.
Does anyone has an idea?
Thanks advance for your help.

Hello, similar problem with my one. Phone has arrived on tuesday, today i was playing Dead Trigger 2, when screen turns completely into blue and few seconds later phone just shut down. I´m pretty sure there were about 30% battery left. Now I´m unable to power it off and when I plug it into charger (using my sony 5V/850mA wall charger), phone starts burn after few minutes.

SERIOUS battery, camera issues after rom change !

i was on cyanogenmod 11 (FXP 346) with TZ kernel then i switched to stock ftf back (15.3.a.1.17)
after that i am facing major issues with my battery !! when i put it on charging the led light blinks to yellow (or red in case of a low battery) as usual but even after charging it for 4-5 hours the battery percenatge is increased by only 3-4 units like i put it on charging when it was 9% in the night and when i woke up it was 13% .. !!
what i did then is that i pulled out the battery and put it on charging again .. sometimes it worked (charged the phone normally) while sometimes it didn't.
i was fed up so i flashed the stock ftf again .. it was okay in the starting but again i am facing the same problem_it is even severe now as even the "pulling out the battery and then charging" option has stopped working
i have tried battery caliberator app but no luck ...
my cell is on continuous charge_
but thats not it .. then comes the camera issue
when i open the camera it says "ERROR : camera not found" this happened before too but a simple reboot was able to sort it out which doesnt happen anymore .. its like my camera is dead or something
please somebody tell me what to do !! is there a solution to the battery or camera issue i am having ?
btw sorry for the long post ..
