So yeah... like the title says, I'm having trouble charging. Basically I plug the phone in (powered off), and it will turn back on. I turn it off with it still plugged in, and it powers back up. Also, if I turn the phone upside down (screen facing down), the orange/red charging light goes off, but turns back on when it's right-side up again. I'm VERY confused with this... Would this constitute an exchange at the Sprint store?
its haunted. Boo~~~!!!!!!
my hero does the same thing and i dont think there is anything wrong with it

Are you sure you are powering off, or are you putting your phone to sleep? There's a difference.
On mine, if I physically power off the phone (hold the red button down for about a couple of seconds and select Power Off), then the phone will not turn on when I plug in a charger (or sync cable).
However, if I simply push the red button without holding it for two seconds, the screen simply turns off (I put the phone to sleep). When I plug in my charger (or sync cable), the screen will turn on (the phone wakes up).
Just in case you really are powering it off. There is a built in awake interrupt set to monitor power connect. To manually activate it connect , disconnect, connect, ( fast ) the power cord to the phone. It should boot. So if it's doing it then your power application to the charger, is noisy. Get a zero crossing switched power strip and use it's switch to power on the charger.
Mine has always booted back after I plug it in if the battery dies or I power off intentionally for some unknown reason. I didn't realize people intentionally turn their phones off any more.
my phones on/off switch stopped working.
so i had to turn on the option for unlocking all buttons when device is in sleep mode so i can start the phone by pressing any button.
but one day i forgot to charge my phone and battery was discharged.
now i am unable to switch on my p3400 as power button is not working.
is there any way to start the phone without on/off switch.
put the charger wait for yellow light
then hit the reset button
your phone is on
Nice idea..
OK - so I have searched and can't find a solution - so hoping someone can help! My Nexus 7 is effectively dead at the moment
So, I noticed what appeared to be a bug with the automatic brightness a couple of days ago, where if I tried to turn on the screen in a dark room it wouldn't, turned the lights on, worked fine, I then set it manual brightness so I could the lights off - so figured fine, probably a software bug, will be fixed in 4.1.2 or whatever.
Then yesterday I was playing with the auto brightness again, set it to automatic and instantly the screen went off and I haven't been able to get it back on. I have tried:
1. Reboot (holding down power button for 10 seconds). Result is Google logo comes up, followed by nexus logo (so backlight does work) then the screen goes off.
2. Factory reset (hold down power button and both volume buttons) - picture of Android lying on back comes up. Interestingly when plugged into power the buttons are then unresponsive, but when I do this under battery power they work. So (under battery power) I selected Recovery Mode, and the screen then shows the Google logo for in excess of an hour. It doesn't go any further. So I can't factory reset either!!
When the screen is off, I have plugged into my computer, and it recognised. I managed to unlock it once (by guessing the pattern unlock) and I could see the file system. So it is on and working, the backlight is just off and I can't find any way to turn it on!
It is not rooted.
Any ideas or help???
I have problem with my i9505, screen turning off immediately after being powered on.
When I reinsert battery, phone vibrate and Samsung start screen shows in about 2-3 seconds before phone turn off.
I can access recovery mode and download mode but in only 2-3 seconds, then phone turn off.
I have tried with pulling out battery, taking out sim and/or memory card, nothing helps.
Anyone know solution for this problem ?
power button was stucked
Please help I was using my phone when the screen suddenly goes off but the phone is on, the screen is blinking (lights up and off) continuously but it stays blank. I can open and close the screen by clicking the power button as you would normally do if you're checking the time on your phone. I tried pressing the power button for more than 15 seconds; tried the volume down + power button for more than 15 seconds, and tried the volume up + power button combinations. I tried it while it was connected to the charger and I also tried it without connecting to the charger. All it does is restart/boot my phone I know because it vibrates, but no logo, no display of the battery charging, but the notification light turns red when connected meaning it is charging. I can connect it to the computer also and it displays my device's model. But all in all the screen just stays blank and just keeps blinking (like lighting up and down). The phone wasn't dropped and it did not get wet by any liquid substance, when it happened the battery is up to 87% and I left the screen off for 4 hours before using it then it happened. I am out of solutions as I can't also reset it as there is no display even the logo and battery charging display are gone. But I know it is alive because I can turn it on and off and connect to the charger and pc. If anyone knows or can diagnose the root of the problem it can lessen my worries and maybe just resort to bringing this to a cellphone repair shop. Thank you. TT____TT
