Very, very strange problem !

JadeAmineHa · Jan 29, 2014

Hi !
i have a Galaxy S4 i9505, and yesterday something really strange happened. I left my phone charging overnight on my pc and in themorning it wasnt charged it had only 3% left and after the battery has drained the phone shut down, and then POOF! it won't charge and turn on no sign of life no LED no vibration, nothing. i tried a new battery nothing happened tried different charger and full battery and nothing seems to fix it. so i used a galaxy mini 2 waiting to find a fix for this and the same thing happened to the mini i left it plugged into my pc and the next day no sign of life. it's very strange. just to let ou know that i dont charge my phone on the pc this is the first time i leave it plugged in and when plugged it says that it's charging but somehow it stops and kills the phone . PLEASE help !

ROM and bootloader used?

Current from pc is very low and your mobile might have use more than it due to background process and hence your phone might have slowly discharged instead of being charged.
Try charging from a wall charger for a few minutes and then try to boot it.

+1
But also it shouldnt be discharged by backgroung process. It is really wierd. Maybe you can see in the battery stats to find which app is using this and freeze it. Use battery doctor to kill apps when the screen is turned off.

Hi, thanks for the answers but i tried all of that and i can't get even the s4 logo to show nor the LED or any sign of life, i even tried a full battery and nothing happens it's not the power button since it don't show anything when plugged into a charger, the saaame thing happened to the other phone. the ROM is omegadroid and whats a bootloader ?? a phone repair guy told me that he can flash from a port inside the phone that needs some soldering, he told me that it's the way samsung flashes the os when the phone is empty and just got out of the factory is this true ? WTH is going on with this phone :crying: and also could it be some kind of virus that kills android phones just when booting because the phone was okay after unpluging it from the pc the problem happened when the battery drained and it shut down after that it wont turn on ! i'm sure that if i plugged the phone to a charger before the battery drained it would be still running now.

What is the warranty status of the phone?.
The guy is talking about jtag/riff box.
Also try not to use the word POOF" as it means homosexual where I live.There may be ones on the forum that could take offence.

Flashing is possible but I recommend you to go to a Samsung service center (even pay them if they figure out that u r out of warranty) as the process is tooooo risky.

I had a similar problem about six months ago.

I don't know if this will help but I found that by disconnecting the battery, leaving the phone for approx. 10 Min, reconnect the battery, then connect wall charger (but do not attempt to turn on). I found that after about 10 - 20 mins the phone started to charge (really slowly, it took about 8 hours to completely charge). Only after this did I attempt to turn it on and it seems to have been fine since.

Hope this helps.
