[Q] Infuse wont power on unless I connect USB and hold volume button...

So, out of nowhere, my Samsung Infuse 4G decided to power on unless I have a USB cable plugged in and I hold the volume down button simultaneously with the power button. Which then brings up the standard powered off charging screen. The I hold down the power button for about 5 seconds and it powers up.
Any suggestions? My phone was stock build when this started. I have since rooted it and installed some roms (currently running Infused v2.2.3) to see if that would help, but no luck.

If it started before you modded your phone, it sounds like it could be hardware, that or you could try letting it charge down and back up, or a different battery.

Try GTG's Ultimate Unbrick and see if that fixes anything. If not, I'd be willing to bet that it's a hardware issue.

Thanks, I did try GTG's Ultimate Unbrick and that hasn't fixed it either. I'm going to have to bring to AT&T tomorrow and see if this is covered under insurance.

Just make sure its back to stock before you take it up there, and it definitely would be covered if it's hardware.

Dang. Sorry to hear that man :/ But yeah, it will definitely be covered if it's hardware related.

Thanks guys. Yes, it was no problem, AT&T swapped it out for me. Only took about 5 minutes. They determined it was a hardware issue as well.

Nothin like a shiny new phone!

?
Two4motion,
Did the AT&T rep happen to tell you what exactly was broken? I just bought a phone off of craigslist and it came with a bad battery, but when I replaced the battery it still had issues.

My phone did this also. Only turn on when USB was plugged in. I was getting know where, tried unbrick and still nothing. 2 days later I put my friends battery in my phone and it booted right up! Shut it down and swapped battery's back out and haven't had a problem since. Its been about 4 months now. Really weird problem and I don't know if anyone else has ran into this.

[Q] Power Button problem?

I seem to have a problem with my power button. I think. My phone will occasionally shut off and vibrate once every 2 seconds, as if the power button is being held down. Taking the battery out and putting it back in stops the vibrations, but then after starting to turn on it will go back into the steady vibration.
I've noticed that sometimes when it's turned on it'll go into little fits where the power button menu will pop up rapidly. This usually precedes when it shuts off.
The severity of these "fits" varies. Sometimes it just requires popping the battery out and putting it back in, but sometimes it lasts for hours.
I don't know if it's a power button problem, or something in the wiring. I don't have a case on it, just a stick on skin. If you need anymore information, I'll gladly supply it.
Any information on what is happening and if theres a fix, would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a short somewhere

You would have to open up the case and look at it. Could be some debris in there, button could be getting jammed. Few things could be happening.

Also, whenever it shuts off a white line usually briefly flashes. Don't know if that helps.

That happens to me to and it happened on my first bricked skyrocket. Usually when i do a battery pull or after download mode completes.

I know I'm reviving an old thread but I came here trying to find a solution and I figured out what mine was.
It was indeed the power button, I took the phone apart twice, first time not messing with the power button, second time I pressed it quite a few good times and blew on it to try to blow anything out of there and to get my spit in it to lube any parts that needed lube...or what not.
I put it back together and still...same problem, it'd turn on when I put the battery in or plugged in a power source and then roughly 2 seconds later, it'd restart. The most I could get was maybe a full 10 seconds (but never further). But I realized that if I held the power button at the perfect time after the phone vibrated to turn on, it would go those 10 seconds way more often. So I mashed the hell out of my power button and shook and pounded the phone and it booted it up, was able to back up all my stuff and restore it. Now waiting for the replacement.
Why I told this like a story? I don't know...

OMFG this is exactly what is happening to me!!!! So exact. Lol any solution?!?

Same exact thing happened to my girlfriends Infuse, faulty power button. I took it completely apart and tried to clean the contacts between the power button and the motherboard as well as any junk that may have been lodged in the button itself. Unfortunately the cleaning didn't work, what did work is I took the god damn phone and whacked it against the counter top a few good times and it has worked ever since. Do I recommend doing this? NO! Just sharing my experience.

[Q] Maybe bricked? Idk? Help please

Hey everyone
Verizon SGS3
Earlier today, phone shut off randomly during use.
Phone won't power on without a battery pull.
Trying to boot normally: can see "samsung" for a split second, phone shuts off.
Trying to boot to recovery: get to screen where in the top left corner it says "recovery booting...", lasts for a split second, shuts off
Trying to boot so I can use ODIN: before I can even hit volume up to go into download mode, powers down
I was hoping I'd be able to get into recovery and then just do a factory reset, but I'm not given enough time before it powers down.
Is there any way for me to factory reset from pc?
Would this even work?
Any help is appreciated

You aren't bricked, it sounds like either a battery issue or a power button issue. Does it turn on completely when it's plugged in?

It does not turn on completely at all and hasn't for several hours now. The best I can do it get it to begin powering up, into the different modes, and then i get a black dead screen. Even if i try to power back up right after getting the black dead screen, nothing happens at all. I need to do a battery pull to attempt again.
Up until this day I've never had any battery or power button issues

I think it's your power button, if it were hard bricked it wouldn't show anything. Those symptoms sound like the power button is stuck in the on position when you're powering it up.
If you're under warranty send it into Samsung and they'll troubleshoot it.

Verizon will for sure. Why dont u find another s3 battery and check it first. If battery is bad it will not turn on regaurdless of whether its plugged in or not. Power goes through the battery.

Hi guys.
so just picked up my phone (was connected to charger) to realize that is dead! the screen is totally black,no charging/notification lights and touch buttons are not illuminated and wont power on or take a charge. tried to connect to pc but adb keeps saying "waiting on device" and thats it.
the phone is unlocked,rooted, jmz TWRP recovery and cm11.....has been running fine for the past week.
it appears to have died a sudden death....any ideas guys ???
cheers
EDIT: dunno what the hell happened as nothing was turning it back on BUT after after holding down power button and volume down for about a minute the damn thing booted up SORTED!!

Can you get into recovery mode?

Hi,
I have the exact same problem.
I cannot get into recovery. I tried Power + Vol. Up but that did not work (yet).
Did you leave it plugged into the wall charger while doing this, Braddison?
Also it does not show up on PC.

If I remember correctly I had it on charge and held down power and vol up. It did take a couple of minutes continuously holding down the buttons. Been fine ever since
If that fails try power and volume down for about 30seconds, I'm sure that's meant to hard reset phone

Thanks for your quick answer. I will try once more.

Same dead HTC One Mini here...two days ago the phone suddenly turned off (with somewhat of 80%-90% battery) and since then its dead. No LED, no charging, it even doesnt get warm when its being plugged into the charger. Pressed Power+Volume down (plugged or non-plugged) more than 2 minutes, and also Power+Volume Up more than two minutes.
adb shows no device. If i plug the phone into an USB-slot in a linux-machine dmesg doesnt says anything. So its dead or not? Since its not more than a half year old it should have warranty, but i think i wont get my photos and stuff. So this is an advioce to myself: never ever buy a phone without micro-sd-slot again!!!
cheers, jennix

I would try again after putting on charge for a few hours, ensuring that power and volume down are pressed simultaneously. i have read that its best to do this while in a bright room or shining a torch on the sensor, seems strange i know but its worth a try
good luck

Its a bit esoteric, isnt it? But nevertheless i tried it (at least the bright room) but it doesnt work. I will send it to T-Mobile and then i will hope that they didnt find that it has a CM11 on it...

thanks! Just sent mine to HTC, hope they fix it within warranty. Can I ask if ur data on the internal SD is stil intact or did you lose it all? And again someone with cm11 installed. Anyone with Sense had the same problem?

I have the exactly same problem, my phone was rooted with CM11 nightly when it died. I sent it to my carrier, but now they want me to pay 200$ for a new motherboard, because they found it was rooted and the warranty is voided. Even when I pay 200$, i still will have no warranty. And I had more than 1 year left. Is there a problem with CM11? How comes that they replace it for some people for free, and for some not? Please, give me a tip how to proceed and do I really have any options from this point?

These horror stories make me wanna stick to stock based roms. I'm a big fan of CM, but not if there's a chance it could fudge my mainboard.. real shame
or is this another example of another design fault with this phone?....

As they have to replace the motherboard it is an hardware issue, where I live rooting doesnt void warranty if there is an hardware issue. They have to give you warranty. Could you ask your carrier what exactly caused it and why the motherboard had to be replaced?

Hey. I sent it directly to AVARTO (service center here in Germany) they too wanted to charge me (around $ 240). Then I asked what exactly the problem was and they revised their statement. Sent it back for free within warranty. On the repair sheet it than said "not turning on. constantly".

Hi.
Another dead mini. S-OFF, TWRP, CM11.

blocked on black screen

Hello,
Ive tried to look for a similar situation in other thread but each case is different so i open a new one.
This morning, when i took my idol 3 the screen did not switch off when pressing power button. I thought it was battery but when i plugged charger,nothing happened except the led is on continuously. I kept power button pressed for 10 seconds. The phone vibrates shortly but still a black screen, no sound and no reaction from the touch panel. Power+vol+ did not led me to my twrp recovery. What can i do now to get it work again? The phone is rooted with Rom Eu 4.2 from murigny64 and it is the first time i encounter this issu. Thanks in advance for helping me

Tonight i disconnected the battery for about 30min then connect it again. Then i tried to start in recovery: Just a vibration but no display and no sound. I unplugged/plugged the battery again and try to start. Same problem. What the hell could happen? Maybe a deffective hardware

Insist on boot ( normal or in to recovery with vol + and power).
That is a hardware brick.
Happened to me to some times, insist, it will unbrick

Can be, can be to... To bad if is battery.
But still trying to boot, is very difficult to.
.

thank you for advise but it's still not working. I spend about 30 minutes trying different combination of button: power pressed until it vibrate, power+vol up, power+vol down, power+vol up & down, discontinuous press of power with charger and no charger....and so on. Its a complete failure.
If it is the battery, there was no sign of weakness before (short life, random shutoff, ....) . It happen suddenly: I lock my screen before sleeping and the next morning no way to switch it on again.
I thought I would avoid problems for long with a twrp recovery, a backup and adb tools on my pc.....but for hardware issues its useless.

How can I be sure it is battery before purchasing another one ?

If it was the screen the touch panel would work and i could sense vibration when typing the pin code no?
The led bright continuously when i plug instead of flashing slowly as it used to do when charging. That why i think its battery.

...and when i start in recovery the phone is not detected on my pc

That's hardware brick. Don't give up, try to boot, normally or in recovery, keep trying it will boot.

Have you tried to open the phone and disconnect battery? Custom ROMs made me similar issue a few times.

Therefore the back can be dismantle and we can access battery and that s what i did.
Yes i disconnected it for several hours and pluged it again but it gave me the same result. And now it doesnt vibrate anymore when i keep the power button pressed a while.
I purchased a battery on internet and im waiting for delivery to test if im right or not. Il feedback about the test.
Anyway its nice from you to look for any solution. Thanks

I guess you did everything properly, so just one thing: at first time when I did this, I choosed the wrong cable (which didn't 'reset' the phone), so I hope you pulled both out.

I think i choose the good connection: This is the one over the battery with 6 wires: 2 red, 2 white and 1 black (see picture attached). I just left it with a small screwdriver to disconnect.

Yep, that's it

Hello,
I received the new battery today.
So i unpacked it, i unplugged the old one and plugged the new one ...and guess what happened......the same bevahiour as with the old battery: when i press the button power, it vibrate but it doesnt start neither in recovery nor in normal mode.
I just precise that the new battery is charged at 50%........:crying:
So the problem is not the battery but it was the only thing i could test by myself before sending the phone to alcatel for repair.
Im still wondering what could happen to my idol 3: It had been woking perfectly for months and one morning with no warning, it refuse to switch on. Ok sorry for annoying us and hope it wont happen with yours.
I hope alacatel will apply the guarantee although the phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked....because its a hardware issue i think.

Hello,
Just to conclude. The phone got back from repair after 10 days. They have changed motherboard, battery and also the back that was damaged. Its a brand new phone .
