I cannot power off my phone. As soon it shuts down it boots again. Tried to search for an answer, but with no luck.
What might be an issue here?
System version: 9.20.1, Verizon
Android: 4.1.2
I am now rooted, but the problem was also with the factory wiped, not rooted phone.
Thanks in advance!
If your connected to a lap top to charge then it will auto start. Are you plugged into the wall?

Oh, you're right. This only happens when charging (either from laptop or wall). Not sure how I haven't noticed this so far
Thanks!

Last weekend, I noticed that my phone e was no longer logging changes in charge state with battery indicator pro. I thought the program was the problem and removed it. The problem remained, so I decided to see how far it went. Even with the phone off, plugging it in won't make the white battery appear on the screen, even though the phone IS charging.
Without performing a factory reset just as a test, can anyone think of any reasons this might happen?
At&t version
Gingerbread 2.3.4 OTA
Not rooted, not unlocked
Bought new in October.
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a bad USB port. Is it recognized by a pc? Can you transfer data?

A-ha! You are correct! I hadn't considered that branch of my troubleshotting flowchart.
My phone doesn't recognize that it has been plugged in to a PC.
Thanks for the help!
I will research remedies for this problem.
I have been running the ICS leak on my sky rocket since it came out, with no real problems making the phone un-useable.
Starting yesterday, my phone would randomly restart and would reboot to the samsung logo. Once it hits the at&t splash screen it will vibrate and reboot all over again until I pull the battery and restart the phone.
Now today the same incident occurred, and pulling the battery is not fixing the issue. When I put the battery in, it will just continue the loop of the samsung logo.
No flashing since I installed ICS months ago, only change would be installing random apps in the play store.
I'm unable to enter recovery, and when I get to the download screen it just reboots after showing a blue screen.
Pretty lost on what else to try with this phone.
Vol+ and vol- and power hold them down
Or vol- plug in usb

Phone will get to the download screen, and the CWM screen then restart before anything can be done.

No dice, even tried a backup battery that was fully charged in a external charger.
Same result

Have you tried forcing DL mode when it's already plugged into a computer? Pull battery, plug usb into computer and phone, hold vol + and -, put battery back in. That might keep you in DL mode. Good luck

Restarts getting into DL mode as well.
Im actually thinking the power button might be stuck internally. Since the button itself does click when i push it

Then I would say pull her apart and clean the button

Popped off the frame, but had to run out before actually doing any tinkering.
So screwed it back together before I left, and now the phone works perfectly fine.
*shrug*
Thanks for the assistance guys
Well glad that worked for u

So I had leaked ics. Flashed the other ics rom. Wouldn't boot
Used script to downgrade to 2.3.5 and it got stuck on M screen
Flashed again, but battery's too low. So now I'm stuck in Fast boot mode with a low battery.
Will it charge if I plug into wall and/or computer?
What can I do? I just want it to charge long enough to flash and turn on!!!

You'll need to find a way to charge it, either buy getting your hands on another better or trying the MavGuyver Method (search xda for it), however the latter mentioned can be risky if not careful. White light I'm assuming is on when you try to charge?
Edit: This type of thing has been seen here before, and there are threads regarding this problem. Not sure how that may or may not affect the leak in this situation, but regardless you have to get power to the device.

If I plug in it goes right to fastboot. Only get a white light if I hook up without a battery in

Might I recommend editing the title of the OP to begin with "[SOLVED]" now that you're all set?

So I just got my stick last night and while my rc11 remote can turn it off it doesn't turn back on. Is the only way to power these up again a power plug pull? Or do people just leave theirs on all the time?
Thanks for your help and maybe we can keep this thread going for other noobs!

Unplugging and re-plugging is the only way. I leave mine on (but then again, mine runs my always-on IRC connection in the background).

Actually, I just remembered... On my model, at least, there is also a reset button in the hole across from the LED. But unplugging is easier.

If i want to turn mine on after its been powered down all i have to do is select hdmi on the tv remote & it powers up..
so to turn off,,power down then turn your tv to tv mode & to power up just select hdmi on the tv & it should power back up
My tv is getting pretty old, I'll try but don't think it'll work. That would be awesome though!
Thanks for your replies, I'm going to try leaving it on overnight and see how hot it gets. Can't be any worse than a modem or wireless router right?

Try leaving it plugged in over night and then unplug it and try turning it on. You can edit the title and your first post in this thread.

No i can't, maybe because my tab is very running low battery so when i turned on, after 5 seconds it turned off again. Same when plugged in, i tried to turn on and battery icon appeared, but after 5 seconds it turned off again

After charging it, try to boot into download or recovery mode.

The same happend to me. My tab seems to be dead, no backlight, no sound when the charger is plugged, no reaction to any push button code like ON + VOL- at the same time. But I've detected already several weeks ago that the background light was a litte bit flickering. This seems to be an indication that there's something with the hardware or battery.
I belive, but I'm not sure, that the internal battery connection is loose. This is a logical reason due to the behavior of all circumstances that happend so far. I saw this at this video "Android tablet not switching on not charging" from alwaysafix (may not post a link) on youtube and read something about that issue somewhere on the web. So this would be a possible reason.
Please let me/us know if this is a solution to your issue. I've few month warranty left so I will at first find out if there's really warranty left when I rooted the tab. Perhaps theres a chance to set it back to factory default. The USB connetion seems to be working.
