Jelly bean (i9023) - Sometimes phone does not wake up

Google Nexus S i9023
Country: India
Carrier: Vodafone
Android version: 4.1.1 (Stock OTA from Google)
Build number: JRO03E
I've been on Jelly Bean for 5 hours. Apart from discovering that the CRT lock screen animation works only very sporadically (another thread here talks about it), 3 times the following has happened:
The phone was on idle, screen turned off. I woke my phone by pressing power button and nothing happened. I waited for almost 10 seconds, and the phone woke up. It took 10 SECONDS TO WAKE UP.
This has happened very sporadically too. I dont know if there's a pattern when it happens and when it does not. Anybody else here experience this problem?
First time it happened, I had Developer Options turned on. I turned it off.
After the second and third time, I restarted my phone.
That was an hour ago. It has not yet happened again, and I am watchful as ever. If someone else has faced a similar problem or knows whats causing it, please do reply!
I cant imagine what I'll do if this happens when I need the phone for an emergency.

sometimes when i press the power button nothing happen !! and i must press it again !

soft reboot? Happened to me before because I was using LBE app which is not compatible with JB, no more soft reboot after uninstalling the app.

Umm.. even with soft reboot, I would see some activity on the screen right? Like the booting animation or something..?
When I tried waking up the phone, it did not give any feedback whatsoever. It just sat there like a piece of dumb plastic for 10 seconds. And then, it nonchalantly showed me the lock screen as if nothing had gone wrong and I had only just pressed the power button.
BTW, it has been almost 6 hours since I restarted my phone and this incident has not repeated itself.

Don't try to remove the battery and insert again
Same problem was caused by my nexus S I9023 after the OTA update from google for jelly bean.I removed the battery then the system starts booting up without pressing the power button.Then i removed the battery again and suddenly phone stopped booting up.(No display,No usb connection,No power button ,No button combination work to enter into recovery mode)Phone became completely dead It is now hardbricked and became a paperweight....
Now im looking for the repair ..Can anyone suggest what can be done now ???

There is not much you can do...if you can´t start phone
even with a jig it´s bricked...it happens to me 2 times last year
without any flashing something wrong or so.
I turned phone off next morning it never wake up again.
I have raed that the reason is maybe the JB bootloader so
After repair I flashed ICS bootloader....we will see if it happens again.
good luck :good:

If I'm understanding you correctly, the phone vibrates 7 times when you plug it into the phone. So what happens when you reboot holding power and volume down? What happens when you just reboot the phone? Please be more specific and give more details.

i try with power on + volume down. nothing happen only vibrate again for 7 times

remove the battery and insert 1-2 days, may help

I am having the same issue on stock software. I bought this used off craigslist a few weeks ago, I used it for a day to check it out and swapped to a Galaxy Nexus. I tried last week and it started doing the 7 vibration thing, so I ordered a new battery and no luck.

ok so your phone maybe briked on a slow task \
step 1 take out battery
step 2 put battery back in
step 3 put this file go this ling scroll down till u see attachment PD98img.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037474
step 4 then put it on the root of your sd card
step 5 hold down the volume and power at same time for about 20 minute till the white screen pop out then leave it there charging
till it ask u for update click volume up for yes and let it do its thing but ill take long procces
Hope this helped ^_^

ugh

mine does the same thing. it never goes to bootolader. always stays stuck on htc screen. vibrates like heck for a couple minutes. after awhile, the phone goes to the rom i flashed...i get temp access to it, then it keeps restarting. i took the sim card out and sometimes the phone is operable, then others it is not. i totally think i bricked my phone.
when i am able to get into the restart part(holding power down and restarting with bootloader or recovery) and all it does is restart over and over.

had the same problem.
hey there....
yesterday i had the same issue i was on FB (hehe) when the phone just froze.
i tried to reboot it and then got the 7 wonderful vibrations,
now i tried to reset it buy many ways and nothing seems to work. still black screen 7 vibrations and nothing more.
im really lost don't know what to do next i haven't change the phone rom or updated it and didn't install an app lately that could have caused this mess.
what are my options? yes of course i can go to a lab and try to fix it but im trying to keep it to the last resort.
thanks !

Dead phone ? Xperia Tipo

Hello,
my father have Xperia Tipo Dual phone. And yesterday he did call to work and left phone on desk. After he returned back to desk he noticed phone is off. Phone didn´t say something about low battery. He tried turn it on, but nothing changed. He tried also charging battery with wall charger but no LEDs active (with battery and without). Only one thing, i can connect phone to computer with and without battery. Computer recognises phone as "ZEUS Flash device". My father have important contacts in phone. Is there way to get data back without buying new battery (I don´t know if problem is battery or not )?

No they werent

Just try to turn on the phone while connected to pc, if it doesn't turn on then it's a software problem and there's probably nothing left to do other than restore your phone completely, and if it does turn on then it's a hardware problem, and most likely your battery is dead.

I already tried it but its not working. How i can restore my phone?

Download ftf for your phone and then flash it via flashtool. But remember to unmark "wipe data"
That should save the contacts

Dude if u know a little about electronics and batteries,just try hot wiring the battery to a 3.4 v D.C. Power...that should charge the battery...if u are nit sure about what you are gonna do,just don't try it...instead try a independent external battery charger...(take out battery and charge it)...
hit the thanks if I helped you,don't just say it...

[Help]Sony Xperia E - RED LED unchargable battery

Hello guys , I am having a serious problem with my Sony Xperia E , it seems to be bricked. Something went wrong , I heard it happens sometimes because of software bug or whatever , and your phone goes into this sleep mode , which won't charge at all. I mean , when I plug it in to charge , the red led lights up (once every 3-4 seconds) untill it finally starts up , but when it starts up it shutdowns since the battery is 0% and not charging. On the internet I could not find any help about Sony Xperia E and this red led error. So , if anyone knows what to do.. Please help me , I'm too lazy to take it to a service and besides I don't got money to spare for it

Hi Cezar and everyone else (this is my first post),
I had the exact same problem and i was sure i bricked my phone beyond repair but there is a way to fix it. So my first thought was to externaly charge my battery but you can't do that, so i came up with a way. You will need to strip one end of the USB cable and separate the black and the red wire. The red wire is positive and the black is negative. Put the two wires between the battery and the positive and negative sockets in your phone (like shown in the pictures [attached]). And now your phone will be charging .
And do not forget, red is the postive, black the negative!
I hope this solves your problem!
P.S. Don't mind the black box, I built it just so i can use it for projects to have a power source, it's just a switch and a LED

Hello,
I was in the exact same situation yesterday with my Xperia J but luckily i managed to fix it, Your battery is able to charge what's happened is it's completely flat like there's no juice left, So what you have to do Plug your charger in via Mains and leave it like that for a good hour or two, Take your phone off charge and push the power button and see if the red led flashes 3 times if it does this means your battery is still flat, So what i did next is plugged it in via USB and put it in flashmode attempting to flash stock rom back onto it, but that just completely failed so then i tried flashing CWM that did get me somewhere my phone booted up after but then it died again so i left it on charge via USB this time for one hour and it was charging as usual i then flashed Stock rom back onto it, it was still bricked after (bootloop) so i flashed it again, and it got my device back to good health, Not sure if any of that made sense but **** it :laugh:

Thanks for the post and the help , but I have a question , in this way will I still be able to get things from my PC to my device and vice-versa ? or it will make it chargeable only ?
And also , is this the only way to deal the problem ? And do you have any ideea what causes this ?

Hi cezar,
Just keep your phone on origenal charger and cable for an hour. This should work.

Well with this method you will need a spare USB cabel for data transfer/flashing because this one will be just a USB on the one side and stripped wires on the other.
This is the only way I found how to deal with this problem, you could always find someone with the same phone so that he can charge your battery for you.
This problem is a symptom of a soft brick. I guess you flashed a ROM that isn't stable so you found yourself in a loop. My advice is to do one of the things I said and in the future flash nee ROMs with at least 50% battery so you don't find yourself in this situation!
P.S. Try SONYs Emma, thats a cute little program for flashing stock ROMs especially in situations like this one.

In my case this disnt't work because my phone was stuck in a loop, it would start charging, boot up by itself, get to the point that it has 0% battery and power off by itself.

hmm I just thought about this. I do have indeed a custom ROM , but this didn't happen in process of flashing. just randomly , a month maybe I after cyanogenmod 11. Anyways , I just thought about this. What if I get another batterry from one of my friends , flash back to stock on my device and then give back the battery to that guy. Wouldn't that just work ?

He can't turn it on. How could he enter dialer???
I'd say you should google anything that is written under the battery
Edit: maybe ask your friend for the box of the phone? And then flash the correct ftf mentioned above

The 3 Red LED Blinks indicate the battery is dead
If you want to recover it use the original charger that came packed in the box and put it on charge for a couple of hours it'll take around 2-3 hours for it to start charging again (I've experienced this issue) If the problem still persists try a new battery
However i the first method works you may encounter another problem, and the device may be bricked (This happened to me after i recovered my battery) What you will need to do is use flashtool and flash Stock Rom again, But if the device boots up normally without hitting into a bootloop i guess it's working normally
(This problem happened to my Xperia J)
Note: If you're planning to buy a new battery make sure you buy a genuine one, as most people try to re-create the original battery and it just shows the wrong battery percent I've also experienced that and i blew £10 :silly:
