Old: Phone was working fine at around 7% earlier today when I plugged it in to charging (worked at this time) and went-on playing Civ5 for about 40 minutes. When I grabbed it after that that screen was black and the phone was non-responsive. No charge icon when I plug it in and vol up+down + power doesn't work, nothing works , any help would be appreciated. Note that I dropped my phone into clean toilet water about 2-3 weeks ago but after vaccuming it and leaving it dry for 30 hours it worked just fine. I don't if this (battery dying?) is related to it.
I changed the battery today to a brand new and the phone still doesn't turn off. What could have possibly ****ed up inside the phone? I though maybe charging port but the phone doesn't even turn on for a bit or show any signs of survival. It doesn't even show up when I plug it in to my PC/Mac... Should I spend 10USD buying a wireless charger to test if it has to do with the charging mechanism or should I just ditch this phone...?
I have this same problem, except on some chargers it gets really hot. Otherwise same as you
I am having a similar problem. One day it shut off and it would only boot to google then go black. LG said it was an LCD connector problem and said it would be $150 to fix...i opted not to pay $150 and when i got it back it was on a previous android version 5.0 i think and it worked fine for a few days. Then i did the update that came along and it sropped working again.. wont connect to computer or turn on. Any chance it is software related? I have a new lcd on the way so i will let you know if that fixes it..
Hello, did a new LCD fix it?

Could be a charging port issue? I have a Samsung s4 that was dropped in water. When it dried, it booted but I got a weird message that said the battery temperture was too low and charging was paused. I changed the USB charging port and the phone now works perfectly without changing any other components.

A few hours ago my girlfriend was just looking at her Triumph (was watching for messages so she wasn't actually doing anything on it) when the screen turned off. Now it wont turn back on. Have tried the power button, turning on the bootloader, and removing the battery for 5 minutes. No matter what we can't get the phone to turn back on. Any ideas on what has just happened? The phone is rooted with gingerbreak with titanium backup installed. That's it. We got the phone at Best Buy and this is our second phone. We're probably past our 30 days so this kind of bugs me! Any idea what we can do from here? Any other tricks to try?
As a quick update, Best Buy tells me that an Exchange counts as an original transaction. So I'm only 17 days into my "new" transaction. I can't believe neither of these Triumphs have lasted more than three weeks :\
Did you have it connected to the charger while using it? I have noticed it gets very hot even without the charger being plugged in. It may have over heated. Just a thought. Good luck. Let us know what happens.

No, the charger wasn't connected at the time. It was just sitting there with the screen on. The Significant Other wonder why it wouldn't turn off so she hit the power button and it didn't do anything. Finally the screen just went black but the backlight was still obviously on so she pulled the battery and put it back in. From there, she pushed the power button and the virgin mobile logo came on and nothing else. She had to remove the battery again. She put the battery back in once more and was able to get the Virgin mobile logo one more time. It froze after the logo and she pulled the battery one more time. After that the phone refused to turn on at all. When connected to the charger it doesn't do anything. Still completely lights out on the phone.
Man that sucks. I hope your able to find a fix.

Same thing happened to me the other day. I let my Triumph lose all its battery to charge it back up 100% (performing a full battery charge cycle), and it will no longer turn on. even when I have it plugged in the red light indicator will not light up most of the time.
Funny thing is, this is also my second exchange from best buy and luckily im still within 30 days and i have a replacement plan. I really suggest getting the replacement plan (its $30, good for a $300 phone), because unlike best buys other mobile protection plans, you dont pay monthly, you're covered for 2 years, and if you get tired of getting the same phone, they will give you a $300 store credit card.
You know my phone did something similar, my phone died and when i went to plug up the charger i got nothing. I think there might be something wrong with the charging ports on these phones, try wiggling the charger while its plugged in, thats what i did and it finally took a charge

upon closer inspection of the charging port, i noticed the female micro usb port was actually pushed further inside, thus preventing most chargers to work. I found a rocketfish charging adapter from best buy that seems to work perfect while my other cable didnt work at all.
As an update, we went back to best buy and sure enough they count the exchange as a new transaction, so I was only 17 days into my second transaction. They exchanged me another phone on the spot and so now we're on the third triumph. GPS checked out ok and the MEID was the correct length. The screen is the worst of the 3 (some pretty bad backlight bleed out onto the screen itself from the sides). I was picky about it but the gf isn't since you can't even see it unless the screen is completely black. So we'll see how this one holds out!
My guess is as was assumed, the battery wasn't getting charged. When the battery was removed for 30 minutes or more we were able to get the logo to show up and nothing more. My guess was the charger wasn't making contact anymore. We wouldn't want to keep a phone like that anyways but it seems like this might be a problem for these phones.
Every once in awhile mine will not power back on. It happened to me a couple of times shortly after I bought the phone.
I tried pulling the battery a couple of times and powering back up, no go.
What worked... remove battery, press power button for a couple of secs, replace battery, power back up. Has worked every time... so far.
My guess is need to drain some capacitors or that I had invoked part of boot recovery sequence without finishing?

Have you noticed the "I just broke my Triumph's Screen"- post? We'll If you saw my cracked Triumph, well that's another issue that I just discovered. The battery drained all the way and now it will not take a charge anymore. This is the exact same problem OP is having. Regarding this issue I will open up my phone sooner or later when I get a new one and take pics. I don't mind seeing wth is in there, maybe everything's held up by Elmer's glue lol. I'll make sure to let everyone know hopefully I'll do this within a couple days.
It seems like dead
If Motorola and VMUSA are not serious about resolving issues for Triumph then this phone will be dead anyways - customers won't be buying those. The number of returns are far more than new purchase. It seems like Motorola stopped manufacturing these.
So this phone will either get Ice Cream Sandwich update or it is end of life for this phone.
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!
So my phone battery was dieing. In fact the phone powered itself off. So I went to plug it into my car charger, but the charger port (on the car adapter) was damaged so i never plugged it in. Instead I grabbed a usb charger out of the glove box that I had bought on ebay and never used before. I plugged it in, saw the big battery icon and a few seconds later the phone booted up and I saw the HTC logo. I left the truck and went back to work. When I got doe about an hour later I discovered the charge light on the phone was no longer lit and the phone would not respond to pushing the power button. At this point I figured I killed the battery and would need to try to charge it manually when I got home.
Upon getting home I put the battery in my wifes inspire. It curiously charged it up no problem. So I put the charged battery back in my phone and nothing. It wont do anything. I tried her battery, nothing. No lights, no vibe no nothing. Like the battery is completely dead... But its not.
I actually just bought this phone used about 2 weeks ago its been workign great until now. Im really bummed. I had 2 atrix's get the boot loop problem and another phones screen went. All in the last 3 months.. so annoying.
Im figuring that the usb charger might have an over-volted output and somethign got fried? I have no idea but if anyone can help me that would be great.. I've spent almost 400 in phones in the last 4 months
Thanks!

Have you tried powering up the phone while plugged in to outlet to see if it powers up ?

Also all covers must be on (sim) (battery) to turn on. Sorry dont know what to tell you, phone may have bit the dust. When you left it in the truck charging was it a hot sunny day. You may have damaged internal hardware. If you purchased phone on ebay open a claim against seller. I had a phone I purchased for 400 that kept frying the battery. Ebay made seller refund money back.
See if you can hboot power up holding power button and volume down button at same time.
Hi at all,
about a week ago my girlfriend dropped her Galaxy S6 into the toilet (NEVER put your phone into your back pocket).
After some days of drying I was able to turn it on while plugged in and except for the battery everything worked. I replaced the battery and everything went back to normal. Sometimes the battery wouldn't charge over a specific level and sometimes it just turned off but since yesterday it keeps turning off as soon as I can see the lockscreen. If it's plugged in it stays on and I can use it as always, everything still works, but it's basically impossible to use it without a charger
What could be wrong? How I can identify the source of the problem? Is there a log I can use or some diagnostic tool?
Thanks a lot,
Thomas

Did you use an oem battery? If after using a genuine Samsung battery you still having issues, it may point to the charging part of the motherboard.
The battery I bought was sold as "official" Samsung and it looked exactly the same. I also didn't buy the cheapest one so I guess that's fine. I don't think that it's a problem with the battery since the phone boots up until the lockscreen appears and then shuts down. If the battery was dead it would crash at any random point and not always at the exact same time. The overall behavior is pretty strange since it stays on and works perfectly fine as long as the charger is connected.
So is there a log I can search through? Mayber there's some kind of low voltage warning or something like that. Otherwise I'd have to sell it as a defect device on ebay and I would rather like to keep it
Hello.
After falling to the ground with my S6 in my pocket I noticed it was off. At that time I thought I just ran out of battery even tho it didn't show the zero battery logo. After plugging the phone the battery logo showed and it started going from 0 to 94/95 in a matter of seconds (like 5% per second). I turned the phone on, it charged normally from 94 to 100 and after unplugging the charger the power was cut - immediately turned off.
It does this every time I plug it in: "charges" stupidly fast to 94%, turns ON and works normally until I disconnect the charger.
Do you guys know what the problem is? I find odd if the battery is dead because it went In for service 3 or 4 months ago and they replaced almost everything except screen, camera, back panel and frame. I would send it again to service but I rooted it so Knox is cracked.
Maybe because of the fall I took the battery cable was disconnected?
Thanks
Certainly sounds like a hardware issue because of the drop it took. Now it is charging but obviously erratically, could be the charging daughter board or the ic that needs replacing. Either way it needs to go in for repair, id try and get some quotes

I just find it weird because the phone was in my pocket when I fell to the ground. I see all the time S6's with cracked screens almost destroyed but working well. My S6 has no external damage.

The only way you'll know for sure if this is not a software issue is to factory reset or flash Stock firmware, it very well could a connection has come lose or some sort of damage to the charging part of board if you continue to have issues.
Sent to repair and they replaced the battery. Since I live in Europe Knox 0x1 wasn't an issue.
