it used to be that when i plug in the charger there would be a green battery icon that fills up as it charged. Now there's just that 8 lines loading icon that disappears after a few seconds, then the screen goes black. I know There is power because when I press the home button in the dark, there is a very faint glow. I tried all sorts of cables, batteries and chargers. Nothing works.
There's no problem when charging when ON.
Additional Info:
S3 mini
rooted and unrooted a couple of times. Binary count is 6.
Now with stock recovery and firmware i8190dxamj1
battery is not original

Ok so i have my sisters samsung galaxy tab4 ( sm-t230nu ) which she brought to me today.
Her screen went black, lights up and all but it stays black in color. Up down volume buttons work and u can hear them working, power button works, turns screen on and off, TOUCH SCREEN WORKS, on certain areas u can hear the noise it makes when u tap on the screen and apps. I pressed the power button alone for it to restart, it restarts but does not show samsung tab logo or anything at all just lit up black screen. I even went on YouTube to memorize the hard reset sequence of buttons u have to press in order to complete the reset and i did manage to hard reset. But screen is still booting up on a lit black screen. I removed the back cover, unplugged the battery and tried booting it up and still nothing. BTW its full factory, no root roms or anything of the sort. I need help on what could be the problem. Only thing i believe might have caused this was a recent update on the system. My sister sais a few days ago it gave her a notification about it and she clicked on yes. I dont know what version of android it had nor which it had updated to. Please help. Tablet is not that old. Thanks. If anything email me directly at [email protected] thanks
Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist! The best thing to do would be to register and ask your question here: Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. There will be experts there who can give you advice. You may have to reflash stock firmware to get the tab working again...
Good luck!
I've noticed that my rooted XT1527 2nd Gen MotoE will automatically "wake up"/turn it's screen on whenever it recognizes that it has been given a power source (or the power source has been taken away).
Basically, every time I plug in, or unplug the power cord, the phone's screen flicks on in recognition of the change in power status. I want to disable this and have the phone screen only turn on if I physically press the power button.
The reason I'm asking is because I am experimenting with charging my phones with solar panels. Things work great when it's very sunny out, but when it's cloudy, even though the phone stays plugged to the solar panel, the charging source flickers in and out with the clouds (which seems to be the equivalent of plugging and unplugging the phone from the commercial charger in rapid succession). When this happens, the phone's screen turns on in recognition of either gaining or losing the power source, and on cloudy or rainy days, this process happens so frequently that the phone screen essentially stays on all day and slowly drains itself of battery much more quickly than it would have if it didn't feel the need to turn on the screen every time the power source came back or went away.
Any suggestions for how to disable this "screen on to recognize change in power status" feature?
My phones are rooted and I've made some simple firmware modifications to them, but I'm definitely a n00b.
I won't go into the details, but I'm using the phones for scientific research, which is the reason for the solar panels. I want my phones to be able to stay on and collect data, but I don't want that screen waking up and flicking on every time there's a change in power status! I'd love to be able to get rid of this feature! Any ideas? Maybe there are apps that would allow me to do this? I'm not even sure what to search for.
(I posted this question in the MotoE-specific forum as well, before I realized XDA Assist was an option, and I'm not sure how to delete that post. Apologies for this double-posting)

Hi Guys,
I'm in deep trouble (i think)....I was updating my Sony C4 (E5333) dual yesterday night when suddenly the updating stops, the phone turn off and from then on, my phone is dead. When I charge it, the LED indicator is flashing RED light even after hours of charging. I tried to switch it on but nothing happen. I tried connecting it to my laptop (windows 8.1) but it is not recognize with red LED light on whenever I plug it to my laptop. The LED light only turns green if push the volume button down and plug it in my laptop, but it will stop after a few minutes the LED light turn red again. I even tried to repair the phone via PC Companion and it went well until after the preparation steps where it is in downloading step...on the downloading steps, it took hours saying it is downloading but nothing on the progress bar...seems like it is stuck there forever....
Is there any other way to get my phone back to normal state because I don't want to send it to SONY center (if can) because I know it will takes forever and I need the phone ASAP for work and study plus it is a special gift by someone before he passed away....
Please, please help me guys...
Thank You in advance....

So I had storage issues and I had to do a factory reset because apps were crashing due to lack of storage space. Did a factory reset everything went well, rooted my phone checked with root checker everything was fine. Then I decided to install Cyanogenmod 13 so I had to unlock bootloader. Tried to do that and I had some problems with that (pc didn't recognize my phone). After several tries I restarted my phone and then he just started vibrating with black screen. Tried everything cleaning the power button smacking the phone a bit etc. nothing worked. Left the phone vibrating until battery drained. Plugged it in and it just started vibrating all over again. When I hold power and volume up phone stops vibrating for a few seconds and the it starts again. When I plug it in without the battery screen shows battery missing message so I don't it's a screen issue. I'd appreciate if someone can help me with this problem. Thanks in advance!

So I just unboxed this tab, and booted it up, logged in, updated some apps from the play store. Charged teh battery to 100%. Then I attempt to open up hangouts and it freezes and then the screen turns off like in a timeout delay. It refuses to reboot, or recovery mode or fastboot mode. Plugging it in makes no difference. It's practically bricked and I think the warranty is done for. I had hoped that it was still on somehow and if I could just let teh battery run out and plug it in it would boot up again. 24h delay in plugging in, no response still.
How should I go about this?
