I have a Samsung i727R. I’ve had the phone for about a month. Have not used it a lot, no rooting, just ‘normal’ usage. I have not downloaded anything interesting at all.
The problem started a couple weeks ago. It started when I plugged the phone in to charge and nothing happened. I could still turn the phone on and everything worked fine, but it just would not charge. This makes me believe it is not the battery.
So I bought a new OEM cable. It still would not charge (not into the wall or computer. BTW my computer has never recognized that my phone was plugged into it since I’ve had, which I assume is an unrelated issue). But I decided to leave it plugged in longer, and after about an hour, it started doing a short vibration every few seconds, and every few minutes it would just turn on and stay on until I turned it off. Still does not charge. This makes me believe it is not the cable.
I have read about the sticky power button. The power button seems to be working fine (it feels fine / not sticky), and I can turn it on and off without a problem, and operates normally. It just starts on its own as well when plugged in.
Could it be the charging port? I’m unsure because the vibration only happens when I plug it in, so the phone is recognizing that it is plugged in; it’s just not charging.
If not the charging port, what else could it be?
any takers? if you know the answer is posted elsewhere, please direct me where to go. I don't think its the sticky button problem, so not sure what next.
ok, I've had no responses from other members, so I dismantled and checked out the power button, as my problem has some symptoms of the power button problem. but after cleaning, pushing, reassembling, there is no change from the situation I described above.
there is one bit of new info: I left the phone plugged in (it turned on after about 4 vibrations, as usual), but while it is on and plugged in, every minute or so the message indicates it is charging! this lasts for about 5 seconds, and then it proceeds to tell me to plug it in again.
really sounds like it would be a poor connection (replace the charging port?), but seems odd that the pattern of events would be so consistent. if the phone had a poor connection, I would think it would work well for a bit, and then not work at all for a bit, etc.
please help!

u answered ur own question, bad connection, its either the cord or charging port or batterycontacts or even a bad battery but more likely a connection prob
S2 SKyrocket wont start up!
k, so here is the scenario. I have rooted and have jelly bean running since the official update came out from at&T. It has been working fine. No issues just some bug with the camera and the pictures that I managed to deal with. 2 Days ago my phone after battery reached 1% went dead. It has happened before, I just plug it in and charge, everything works smooth. Until, the phone never charged and when I attempted to turn on it just vibrates once , Samsung logo quickly comes up and disappears.
I know its not a sticky Power button issue as the phone does not start up when I insert the battery. I attempted to go into recovery mode but nothing happens.
Don't think the phone is bricked since it shows some kind of life. Not sure if I should buy another battery or charge the battery on another device...While I try to troubleshoot this. Does anyone have any suggestions, and IF i have missed a sticky please direct me to it, since their is so much content here.
Thank you in advance!

I have an XV6800, all of a sudden it will only work if I have it plugged into a charger...and yes, the battery IS fully charged. The second I unplug the charger, it goes to sleep and won't wake up unless I plug it back in. The last thing I was doing when this started to happen was trying to get TouchFlo and Action Screen to work, neither would by the way. I removed both of the programs and restarted, several times, but nothing. Can anyone help please?
Full disclosure: I am a designer and use Mac primarily so I don't know a lot about Windows.
Thank you for any help!
if you ask me it sounds like the batt is defect
I've been using it non stop for a week and half though with no problems. Could it still be the battery? I forgot to mention that I had also plugged it into my Mac for the first time with the USB charging cable before it went buggy too. But it works if it is plugged into that.
any electrical component can kneel over and die any moment with or without an warrning
you can try to take out the batt and see if it still act the same when connected to the power source
Figured it out...somehow the backlight setting for battery power got turned to off, so it wasn't really shut off, just not lit! Sorry! Thanks for your replies.
Anyone come across this? I put it on standby last night after reading a bit of my book on it, and it had around 50% power remaining. This morning, it was totally unresponsive; pressing the power button does nothing at all. I've charged it for 12 hours in the meantime.
I've done the following all with and without the power attached:
- Pressed and held power for 15 seconds through to a minute
- Pressed and held volume up with power to attempt to get into recovery for up to a minute
- Pressed and held volume down with powerfor up to a minute
- Pressed and held power while touching screen (read that one off another forum)
I guess potentially it could be on and in a crashed state and unresponsive to the power, so maybe in a weeks time when it runs out of juice, I'll be able to charge it and power it back up, but in the meantime, I'd welcome suggestions.
A few weeks ago I updated it to the official ICS build that was released, but did the update myself rather than using KIES, as KIES didn't even recognise my Tab's firmware original version. It's been absolutely fine before the update, and since. I only mention it because I've read about the Samsung build of ICS being prone to self bricking itself, but I couldn't determine what the symptoms of this vulnerability were.
Thanks for any help offered,
Will
did you try connecting USB cable and plugging it into your PC? did u get any activity? can ADB recognize your tab?
I think your tab just ran out of juice and the battery's protection circuit has kicked in. Try taking it to an electronic shop and plugging in different chargers preferably one with an output more than 2.1 amps to kickstart the charging. Plug it in and wait till the charging animation starts.

Had the same problem while on holidays. Once the battery goes below a certain level, you won't be able to charge it through USB any more. Instead you need to use the wall charger.
I think it's bad enough that the 7.7 doesn't have a micro USB port, but things like that are just stupid and Samsung made a big mistake here. It don't think it's the same with the newer tablets though. It's also not possible to just buy cables or chargers for this strange Samsung port, so when you forget your wall charger at home at some point you won't be able to use your tablet any more.
As long as you charge with the USB cable early enough, you can avoid it though.
A few months ago I experienced the same thing, the Tab just wouldn't turn on anymore.
I tried all there is without any luck.
Contacted amazon and they replaced it with a new one in less than 48 hours.
So far not Problems with the new device.
I have the P6800 and this morning I took it off charge. Put it into standby and only used it for about 20 mins then left in standby all day. It had about 95% remaining when I did so.
Picked it up this evening and the lower left area of the screen was warm and it would not switch on. Didn't think of the ADB idea but will try this next time but I had to reset it and when it powered on tonight after the reset, it was down to 15%. Within about 2 mins of checking stuff it was down to 3%.
Something is running when it is in standby but as I can't switch it on I can't check with BetterBatteryStats or CPUState to know what is wrong.
It does this every day. I am tempted to do a factory reset and reinstall only limited software.
Dave...
I see this thread is a little old but this has just happened to my P6810 too. A pity nobody reported back what the end result was.
My device had at least 95% battery last night but today I can't get it to respond at all, I've tried the wall charger and still nothing.
Anything else someone could suggest for me?
Edit. I tried getting anything from it connected to my PC but it couldn't find a device there. However I then tried it on the wall charger again and now get a blue battery icon, quite big, with a five step animation indicating that it is charging.
No idea how it went flat as the battery on this lasts a long time assuming the screen isn't on. When it boots properly I'll have a look at what the most recent apps I installed were as it has only done this once. Before this it has been perfect for the three weeks I've had it.

This is the infamous Sleep-Of-Death issue that is randomly experienced by myself and other users here, usually happens when WiFi bugs out due to weak signal

hhmmm, interesting.
I was having trouble with wifi just before this happened. Both my GS2 and this have been claiming to connect to my wifi but aren't actually getting an IP address from it.
I can't remember if it was last night or the night before but I manually set an IP address, the signal strength is fine as my abode isn't very big.
After it has recharged I'll have a poke and see what I can find, thanks for the reply.
So my device seems to be working fine again. It had gone SO flat that the date and time were incorrect!
After I could power it on I had a look at Better Battery Stats and nothing looked wrong so I have no idea what happened. None of the apps I'd installed the day before it played up had long wakelocks and weren't running when I turned it off.
For reference they were:
My Tracks
MyTrails
Google Earth
AndSMB
I'd turned both of the GPS tracking devices off before I turned it off for the night.
It hasn't played up since but it hasn't been long so I'll see what happens.
Yeah, the sleep of death is incredibly annoying. Honestly, the GTab 7.7 is a **** device. Samsung made way too many mistakes and won't do anything to fix it.
A similar thing happens to me every once in awhile. The way i check to make sure everything alright is to see if it boots into download mode. I just leave it plugged in for a couple hours and it eventually comes back on.

this is why my 7.7 is the last tablet/phone from Samsung i'll never trust them they are just bombarding the market with new devices and leaving the old ones to dust
^thats what I thought too but that gs4 is really tempting. I've heard worse about HTC in that regard anyways so that why I'm not going with the one.
Finally.. i bought Sony xperia Z.
I'll sell my galaxy tab 7.7. I.m very disappointed with samsung.

Unbelievable! ... this trick still works ... thank you very much for you help ...
^^ yo, this 'trickle charge' trick did NOT work on my (long) dead P6800... any other suggestions??
Quite strange because my Samsung GT-P6800 tablet was fully charged, it went completely blank dark as if it was off. To my amazement, SMS keeps dropping and calls kept coming in. Yet it is still as blank as though the tab was off. I pressed the power button and the volume up bottom for it to reboot. It rebooted without the screen coming up. It has been blank for two days now. What could be the cause? And what possible solution can be given?
Hello,
recently, my 7Pro drained all the battery and turned off. When I got home, I plugged it in and waited to finish the charging. After 20 minutes I noticed that the phone powers on, put the announcement that the battery is critically low, stays on for about 3-5 minutes, then turns off itself. After that it shows big battery icon on a screen and nothing is happening. Again, when I plug the cable out and in again, the phone starts and behave again the same (stays on and then turn off by itself).
Does anyone encountered similar problem? Could it be faulty battery? I've tried 3 different chargers (including car), tried to charge it from my 2 computers, tried charging while in bootloader mode, also I've reset it to defaults (+; - ; power). Nothing helped so far.
I have it still in warranty, but I have cooked ROM made by ansar. I'm a little afraid to send it like that to HTC.
Any advices greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
OK,
I will answer myself
Do not give a phone to your younger brother! Little brat somehow changed USBMode to "diag" and uninstalled the app! I have restored the phone to defaults and managed to check that before it turns off. After switching to Zune mode, the phone is charging without any problems.
So anyone having similar problem might want to check it out before panicking like me.
Hi,
i have very strange issue which i noticed right now. It seems that i can not turn on my mobile/screen. I have to say that mobile is bought less then month ago and no modifications are made like rooting or something like that. Today it worked without any problems and when i got home i left it on my desk but two hours later i wanted to check for my e mail but screen/mobile is not turning on. I checked on/off button and it's not jammed. What else can i do considering that i can not remove the battery

Charge the phone. Could be dead. Are you SURE nothing has been modified? Also, hold down the power button until you see the capacitive buttons flashing, and don't let go until they stop flashing and the phone reboots.
Battery probably died. This phone is known to lose power abruptly. It's happened to nearly everyone at some point--it will appear to have some charge left and then suddenly drop to 0%.
Just leave it plugged in for a while and see if it revives.
nothing helped from what you mentioned but it works now. When i plugged in the charger there was no sign of charging. When i pressed and hold power button also nothing happened. Then i tried to hold volume down and power button but also no reaction from the phone and then i pressed the mobile bit harder around display to check that maybe there is no loose wire and at this point mobile turned on by itself (boot screen) and after booting there was crash report. I have HTC phones for years now and such problem never occurred to me before but phone works for now :good:
thank you
Hopefully it isn't a defect, my one x has never went off on me at a random battery percentage, except for some ROMs he he
As mentioned, some people have had instances of randomly losing charge, or phone not seeming to take a charge after running the battery down. Leaving the phone on the wall charger (not USB, which takes much longer) for several hours (overnight) and then trying to power on seems to solve the problem. One guy here could not get any response (even after charging for hours) except by holding the power button while the phone was on the charger.
The issue seems completely random. So unless it persists, probably nothing to worry about.
Hoping someone can help, haven't found any threads about this particular problem.
I bought a used "One X" that was totally stock and seemed to work OK. I rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, and got S-off. I then installed the newest version of Viper XL. Everything worked fine for a while but after a couple days I went to use it and it was totally dead. Battery was half charged a minute before and now nothing. Plugged it into a wall charger and USB and got nothing, not even an orange light. After trying to reboot and hard reboot it for 20 minutes I quit and just plugged it in and left it.
Checked it a few hours later and it was still the same but just for fun I tried a hard reboot again and it launched right away. It worked with no problems for another day and then same thing. When I got it restarted this time I downloaded and ran the latest RUU exe file to eliminate any problems the Roms might be causing, but no, just happened again today and was hours before I got it restarted, this time just by holding the power button.
Any ideas? All help appreciated.
Its somewhat of a known problem, but unfortunately an unknown cause, and I haven't seen any real solutions. Battery drops suddenly, no LED light, but charging for several hours brings it back. Usually happens at night, for some reason. But yours seems much more frequent than other cases I've heard. I've maybe only had this happen twice in the year+ I've had this phone. If this keeps happening every day, or close to that, its obviously a big problem.

One extra detail I left out. The phone seems to be truly off, as when I get it restarted it doesn't appear the battery was drained at all. It's basically a brick that randomly decides to come back to life. Even if I only leave it plugged in for 15 minutes and then unplug it and try restarting again, it basically comes to life with a full battery.
Strange. Maybe related to the issue I mentioned, maybe something different.
Since you ran the latest RUU, don't think there is much else that can be done. Might be a hardware issue. I would tell the seller and see how they respond. They will probably swear they didn't have the issue. But it doesn't hurt to bring it up.
My problem is little different but almost same.

Put the phone on the wall charger (not connected to your computer) for several hours (overnight) and see if there is any change.
Not sure if it's the same problem, but I had something similar happen a couple days ago while on CM 10.2 nightly:
Sudden power drop
I threw a couple logs in there, just in case they were useful.

Try the bootloader button combination. Then try it while connected to the wall charger. Similarly, just try booting normally while connected to the charger. It makes no sense, but I've seen at least one guy where this worked (bootloader button combo while connected to charger), when nothing else would make the phone boot.
Other than that, its not looking good. No LEDS, and the phone can't be read by the computer, you're pretty done. Odd that just connected to USB did this. Maybe some hardware failure related to the USB port?

Yeah even i can't digest the fact that making my phone S-off installing CM 10.2 didnt do any bad but a connection to USB killed my phone
