Today my phone had been shutting itself off, but since I was on trying a new also rom, I figured probably just a kernel issue I'll re flash later. Come to the end of the day after getting some charge in the car then putting it down, it's powered down again after have been good for the past 6 hours. Pushing the power button didn't get anything. Charging light is solid red.
Anyone got ideas or clues ?
Solved: was just my rom not liking me. Adb reboot worked

Hi all. I have years of rooting under my belt but this is the first Samsung phone i've owned and I've got quite an issue. I was playing a game and the phone just shut off on me. I went to restart it and nothing. Did a battery pull, i felt it vibrate like it was trying to turn on and still nothing. So I tried to boot into cwm using volume up/down and power and the Samsung splash screen flashes for a split second and then shuts off and the phone just vibrates like it's going to turn on but won't do it.
So I tried battery pulls, holding power down, and now when I plug it into the computer it vibrates every two seconds but won't turn on. What's the deal this seems like a major hardware malfunction and Odin/CWM none of that stuff is usable because it just won't boot into anything.
So last resort do you guys have any suggestions i'm all ears :-(
I've had this a few times before... I forget which one exactly but either vol up + power button...or vol down + power button gets you to download mode and then you can flash the softbrick fix.
or if you do manage to get to CWM, you'll need some quick fingers to get to the "install zip" option before it reboots. once in there you're good to flash your ROM.
or, get a USB jig to get to download mode and flash soft brick fix.

False alarm, apparently there is a battery bug reported on other forums. My phone had read 100% for quite awhile and I was digging the battery life but apparently i was over zealous. The meter was reading 100% but the battery was draining and the phone died. It wouldn't fire up until i left it on the charger for awhile. Very odd, guess I will delete this post and research this battery issue... unless someone else knows more about it
I have the same battery issue, but only when I use my car charger. When I take it off the car charger, it will read 100% till I reboot. Only after reboot will it start reading the battery state correctly. I DO NOT have this issue with the house charger...... Strange.
you guys after charging for 100% go to cwm and format battery status this will probably resolve ur issue.
So I haven't used my Nexus for somewhere around 2 months since I got a new phone. The Nexus S was working fine prior, I had actually just got it back from Samsung after them fixing an issue related to my top volume button. After, I received it, the phone was in a complete stock condition, like it was just bought from a store (no unlocked bootloader, fastboot, Clockwork, etc.). A bit later, the OTA Jelly Bean update comes in, but I don't use it too much as I just got my new phone.
I left it on and ignored it for the past 2 months. I just assumed the battery would run out, and if I wanted to use it I would just plug it back in and that would work. Now the Nexus S won't show any sign of life. I've tried removing the battery and trying to turn it on while plugged in, when it's plugged in with my battery in, the charging indicator it used to show never shows up. Plugging it into my computer with or without a battery does nothing, it doesn't even show up in my device manager as "Unknown". I've also tried holding VOLUP + PWR for 10 seconds with all these different situations. Nothing. The phone is essentially dead. Any clue why this happened and how I should go about fixing it?
Nevermind. After leaving it plugged in with the battery for ~20 minutes it finally powered on! Hopefully this thread helps out someone in the same situation. It just seems as though it takes a long time to get it to a state in which it'll power on.
Ok guys, I'm in a predicament, I flashed the latest AOKP build 3 (clean flash) flashed IMOv.16 cache/dalvik/permissions and everything worked great. This was around 2pm. I spent the rest of the day just messing around with settings getting it how I liked it. even after several reboots. Now my battery dies around 11:45pm so I plug it up and it vibrates once, the charge screen shows for a second but the charging icon doesnt spin and then cuts off. tried it for about 30 minutes in the wall, 30 minutes from usb from computer, now its been in the wall for about an hour, if I unplug and plug it the phone does nothing, but if I pull the battery put it back in and plug it up to either power source the charge screen shows for about a second and then cuts off, but nothing happens after that any suggestions? has this happened to anyone else? what should I do?
Ok im not sure why that happened, but I fixed it. I pulled the battery, put it back in and instantly help VOL down + Home + Power and I got it tothe screen before Odin. So I was going to flash stock, but I figured if i can get into Odin I can get into recovery so I pressed down to restart phone instead of up to enter odin mode and it restarted and booted up, with a significant charge on it! Phew thought I had done something bad! :victory: My blood pressure is returning to normal now, but why did that happen in the first place? Will it happen again if my battery dies?

Outstanding work! My blood pressure is down now too.
I've been running the latest CM10 M release for a couple weeks now. Today I upgraded to the latest modems. Everything was working great for a few hours when my phone randomly shut off and now won't turn back on.
I've tried pulling the battery and charging. Can't ever see anything on the screen although it does vibrate sometimes when I hold the power button. LED will turn on when charging.
Any ideas or suggestions?
See if you're able to boot straight into download or recovery, thus will show intact boot and recovery systems.
One other test, pull battery and with phone off plug into your PC if it shows a red light its likely hard bricked.
I had the unfortunate experience of flashing wrong kernel and bricked my phone was not going to recovery or download. However if you can get to these then it may be a soft brick and restore with odin

Once my phone got stuck because I flashed a new recovery that wasn't compatible with my phone so each time I tried to boot into recovery or tried to turn on the phone nothing would happen. The only thing that got my phone working again was to go into download mode (Odin) by holding power, volume down and home buttona and than canceling it. from there the Rom started working again. I don't know if it will help in your case but you can always try.
That was a strange experience. Left it plugged in for a few hours. Came back, and was able to boot normally... although the battery was extremely low despite being plugged in for a few hours. No problems since then.
Congrats =)
Seems like disaster was avoided.

Do you know what percent your phone turned off at? Around what percent? Was it 23-25%?
So I've had my transformer laying around living its own life for a bit, it's been a faily temperatured room, and it has had some power left on it. So today I picked it up and tried to boot it, it was fairly cold compared to my body heat, but it wasn't that cold again. Nothing happened, so I put it to charge for a bit and I saw the yellow/orange light, indicating it was charging. But it still wouldn't boot after that. So I am thinking if this is due to the low/normal temp it has been in, or the button is simply broken by itself? Like are there anyways other than the normal power button to turn it on? I know adb isn't running when the phone is fully turned off. But sending it in wouldn't be too good neither as it isn't running the stock ROM. Any help would be appreciated

Edit:
So just tried booting it on again while it was charging, and saw the yellow/orange indicator blinking two times as I was holding it, which seems like the power button isn't hurt. And last time I booted it as said, it worked perfectly fine...
