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.

Hi mates, yesterday I've made a change for 7 inch galaxy tab 2, 8GB, more specially the p3110, as well as I rooted it and updatet it and about 6am insomnia makes me take the tablet, So far so ordinary ...
well then turn it on and tells me that my sd is empty Nothing, I lost the data and I am about to make clear the sd, pretends to format and passed 15-20 secs it power off.
I get out of bed and went to connect it to the wall charger, knowing as sometimes if you leave the battery holding power and swiping your finger across the screen some time reappears stack and reloads it, I do it today that should have full charge and nothing, doesn't returns, when I connect it usb pc and when I do turn on the tablet it sounds windows connected usb sound and at the second connecting it disconnects device again, and there will end up pressing the button again
I removed the back cover and I have even removed the battery about 2 hours, reassembled and still doing the same ....
Summary: Does not display anything on the screen and battery charging even having tried the method "samsung" when this happens, (which only have it, with its official android I had to do it once, and recalibrate the battery even reach 4000 and mark its 100%, hence looked last longer and it was when the update and was working fine about 3 hours with it, no problem opening emails looking face and such, nothing out of the ordinary, there is no heat either, doesn't gave any fatigue sign and the battery was at 80% when It turned off suddenly), when you turn the computer connected to the usb nothing still while connecting a second and off the next, only once, until you return to try give the power or any combination, whether recovery, download, nothing shows anything on the screen
however when I connect it to pc to it hears something in windows, that tells me that the board is not dead, and the lcd was working ok and absolutely have any shot.
can you think of anything? I'm already crazy with this ... odin doesn't sees it, that connects the second and still sounds the little sound of I connect I get disconnected every time you try to pull it out, hopefully a recoverable semibrick at home or less silly ...
still nothing??

Hi all,
I have been given a tablet to try and recover by a friend who seems to have semi-bricked it. I heard that he ticked the wrong buttons in Odin and then it all went downhill from there...
See the attachment: This graphical screen is displayed all the time. I cant actually shut the tablet down, even if I boot into CWM and choose shutdown from there. It will turn the entire screen of for 2 seconds and then then go into the attached funky graphics screen and stay there.
There is no battery charge at the moment so the odd time I do get it to boot properly, it shuts down straight away. Im leaving it chargin as we speak to rule that out.
I've tried flashing a stock ROM and get an error7. I have wiped and reset the tablet and wiped both caches too.
My next move is to (after its charged) download and apply a ROM from the samsung website and see if I can return it to normal.
I really want to know why I cant shut it off and what's the deal with the weird graphics screen? Any step by step instruction on how to reset properly and what I should do would be SUPERB.
Hello, recently I started reading comics and found my old tab lying around so ill give it a go
First thing first it wont boot becaue it had no charge obviously (been there for like some years), then I tried to plug the charger but to no avail
I cleaned the contacts of the charger with a dry brush and start charging which then my tab starts charging!
when I booted, I think it was CM 12 (or 13? the one with andy I believe) and everything is force stopping.
I then tried to go to recovery mode and wipe data, but when i rebooted it it just stuck with the splash screen (the one before bootanimation)
I turned the tab off and tried to boot to download/recovery mode but it would just boot me right to the splash screen again, which mean i cant go to TWRP or ODIN.
And it doesn't always want to turn on, sometimes it just stuck there with black screen (not turned on) even if i press power/combo button, sometimes it pop up to the splash screen. what i notice is that i should wait for the charging indicator to show up before i can try to boot again (i got enough juice now, 56% the last time it turned on)
also one thing i remember is something about F2FS but im not sure what that is, but that might be a clue to my situation so ill just write this down here
Hi
Same here with P5110 and Slim7. I can't start it anymore....
I didn't use it for some time and then i charged it to 100% and it started but everything seemed to lag. Then i turned it off and wanted to look for another rom or a newer build. But i can't start it anymore. when i plug in the charger i can see the charging screen but beside of that i can do nothing. It has no effect when i push the on/off button or anything else...and it has to be at nearly 100%...
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.
