I have a Tab 2 7.0 on a stock rom that was rooted. I left it charging the other day. It was hot and displayed a weird battery symbol. So I unplugged it and and wait 24 hours for it to cool off. Now it will not turn back on and when I plug it the battery symbol with a small wheel of rectangles on it will appear and then quickly disappear. It doesn't seem like it is charging any more but it does get hot.
Anyone have any clue of what the issue could be? Did something internally break? Is there a way I can salvage the Tab?
Thanks in Advance to anyone a offering help.

So here's the story..
Flashed the ROM to WM6 (Dr.Dots BlackDiamond 3.1). Had a couple hickups where I had to go through it a coupe times, but after an hour or so, got it and it's worked fine since. Ever since though, I've noticed that my battery meter doesn't reflect the charge of the battery. When I click on the battery icon, it tells me that the battery status us "unavailable" and shows nothing. Got the Battery Status .cab, loaded it on the phone, and it shows a charge of "-1%." Phone dies today on the way home from work. Plugged it into my car charger and nothing. It won't charge there at all. I can leave it pugged in for about 20 minutes and attempt to turn it on and it'll come up into the white and pink "tmobile" screen then dies out. Same thing when I plug it in here on the desktop. When I plug it into the actual home charger, it comes up, charges and I have the LED illuminated on the MDA.
My question is, has anybody else experienced this and what is the fix? I've seen a couple threads about "jumpstarting" and whatnot, but I've got to believe that there is another problem that isn't allowing me to charge with a car charger or a usb desktop charger. I never had this problem with the POS Tmobile ROM so I'm not thinking its a hardware issue at all.
Can anyone out there let me know if there's something I'm doing wrong? I don't know if there's a software conflict with the stuff I have on my MDA or if there are issues with my current IPL/SPL/GSM/OS that aren't allowing it to function correctly.
Any help is alway appreciated.
Thanks guys,
Ivan
nobody has any ideas???
So my battery status shows -1% with the empty bar. 100% signal...can't be right, never is always 100%. And the temp shows a steady 32* F...Im in my living room and it ain't that cold.
Maybe remove and reinstall it??
Isn't there supposed to be some kind of battery status indicator on most WM6 ROMs??? I have nothing at all...

Ok, don't anybody rush to help a brother out....lol!
SO I flashed to 2.47.11 Radio and all of the sudden, guess what?
That's right, I now have a battery status showing and I can charge from the computers USB port...
Friggin phenomenal.
So hopefully the new Radio ROM won't give me crap when it comes to actual calls.
Anybody else running this Radio? Experiences with it?
Thanks again,
Ivan
Hi all,
i've got a normal nexus s, not rooted or anything, its running 2.3.2 as i haven't had the OTA yet. However strange things have started happening this week with regards to my battery.
I can no longer shutdown the phone whilst its plugged in, it goes through the motions, vibrates and then just hangs on the dimmed screen with shutdown on it. when i unplug the cable, it switches off. However, when i then plug the cable in, it starts up the phone, instead of just charging when switched off with that white battery meter.
It has also stopped recognising that it has been plugged in on the battery use info screen, so it is saying that i have been on battery power for almost 6 days now.
Its not a dealbreaker for me, but i haven't tinkered with anything, and its just plain annoying. I'm starting to think its just shizzle samsung hardware. Anyone any ideas? Or same thing happened? Cheers.
Since performing the ICS ota, I have been getting random alert where a large (2" x 1") battery icon displays in the middle of my screen for about two seconds. It emits a tone, then disappears.
Has anyone seen this?
Does anyone know how to disable this?
I've been getting the charging battery pop up when docking and plugging in the charger, but so far thats the only thing to cause it, its just a charging notification I think
I do not have a dock. This is driving me crazy. There doesn't seem to be any logic to it happening.
Its probably just a battery reminder, like when it gets to a certain level it reminds you so you can plan ahead if your away from a charger. I don't know this for sure but that would make sense! I don't see any option to turn it off, maybe in a future update or custom rom!

Picture of alert
Here is the alert that I get. Completely random. Doesn't matter what app, battery level, etc.
Has anyone else seen this? HELP!
That icon appears when you plug the tablet in to the charger, it lets you know the battery level and it plays a chime. If it's not a software fault, might be something with the charging port. Maybe it's defective and it's detecting a charger plug that's not actually there?
Thanks. I think it has to be software related. It happens without anything plugged in. Frustrating! It also never happened on honeycomb.
battery icon screen
I see the same thing when I plug in to charge.I have it plugged into the wall first then plug into transformer.I think it is just letting you know it is charging because I don't have it powered down.

The problem is that I do not have the charger plugged in when it happens.
charger icon
do you see it when plugging it in to docking station? my does for a sec when i link the keyboard to the tablet but go away ..because the docking station starts charging the tablet.
I can confirm I also get this. It really is annoying and random. I'm yet to find a pattern to it.
The tablet is not on charge. It is not docked. Just the tablet.
Current battery level is 73% and the battery icon has flashed twice whilst writing this. There are different icons signifying different battery levels. Full, mostly full, nearly empty and running low... I've seen them all.
Does anyone know of a setting that would stop these alerts?

[Malware] iPhone Keyboard Emulator contains Battery Upgrade Alert
Hi everyone, I appologize in advance if this has been posted and resolved, but I couldn't seem to find anything after numerous searches.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 that I have had for JUST over a year (i think June 30th) Everything has been fine, no problems and today I was on it, working fine and then all of a sudden it shut off and then started to reboot. Only when it powered back on, it showed the black SAMSUNG GALAXY SII powered by Tmobile start up screen, then went black, then the startup screen appeared again, then went black...repeat.
I did a battery pull for 2 minutes, same thing. Did a battery pull for 1 hour, same, I left it on the chargert for 4 hours and while on charger kept blinking on and off but now only the grey battery (even now off the charger)
It has never been rooted, or updated or anything like that. There is no water damage at all.
I have a wall charger for the battery only and an extra battery and have tried charging both batteries with that and still no luck.
I have also tried plugging it into my computer to see if it would boot up that way and nope. Still just the on and off dead battery, not even the startup screen.
HELP PLEASE!?
power shortage?
Has there been any kind of problems with your electric house system? that happened to me once, and it was due to a power problem at my house, it basically blew off my battery. Forget about battery pulls. Go to a store and ask them to lend you a battery for a second. If it powers on fine, it's the battery. If it doesn't i think you should get yourself a new phone, or try to get it fixed at the customer service. Sorry for the bad news man...
Nope, no problems with electricity, and neither of the 2 batteries will work!
Hi Friends
I have a p3100 with a broken Touch Digitizer but the LCD is still working and I am checking if the tab is still worth repairing. While checking though, I tried to charge the tab but it doesn't charge. It only shows a Battery Icon with a spinner in the middle then nothing happens. It doesn't turn on. When I try to press the Power button it still shows the same Icon then turns itself off. I tried doing the help videos on youtube where you disassemble the back cover and dislodge the battery pins out and discharge the board but it still does the same thing. I attached a photo of the Icon I was talking about.
Any help would be appreciated
Ps. Sorry for my english.
Bump
Turns out the battery was super low it can't turn on the tablet anymore. I hooked the battery into a universal charger and it now charges properly.
