so i was using it normally (about 45% battery), plugged in a usb cable as i wanted to transfer a file from PC to the tab. in the middle of the transfer, i noticed the file was stuck and the tab had frozen. so i unplugged it, and the tab turned off and restarted. however, it wasn't able to restart. i was able to see the screen backlight turn on for about 2 seconds and it would go fully black (off) again.
i kept trying to turn it on, go to download mode , but it did the same thing (backlight screen on) for about 8 times, and then... finally it FULLY died. the backlight wasn't even able to turn on. i charge it int he charger for 10 hours, and it is STILL fully dead.
i got this tab from TD bank so i dont have a receipt, so how does warranty work...?

Do you hear anything, or see any response when you plug it into the charger?
Can you test the charger & cable with another phone to make sure they work?
yes it charges my other android stuff (it is the charger from the tablet). no it doesnt make any sounds
i feel like if there is a way i can remove the battery, i might be able to turn it back on.
That's a Drag

HI all,
I flashed my Arc last night, and then rooted it.
All seemed to be fine, until I rebooted after the Root had been completed.
Once the phone turned back on, the battery had dropped from 70% to 1%. It was warning me that it was about to shut off, so I tried to plug it into the computer, via USB cable to charge, and nothing!! I thought it must just be my computer, so I tried to plug it into the wall socket, and still nothing! It just refused to charge. Full stop. However, it continued to tell me that I was bout to run out of charge and didn't turn itself off!!! I unplugged it 1000 times, and still tried each option ( computer/wall socket) and it just wouldnt work.
So, basically, this is a well known problem and you can solve this by following this procedure -
" try removing the battery for a few seconds then reinsert the battery whilst the wall charger is plugged in. give it 5 mins before attempting to switch it back on.
if it manages to switch back on, try to put the phone in flight mode until the red light turns a pale green. "
I did this, and turned it back on. Straight away the phone rocketed back up too 77% battery.
And, the usb port worked again.
So my question is this,
Is this a common issue?
And is following the above process ok for the phone? I hope that I wont have to send it back, cause the other people on that link above had too.
Is anyone else had this problem?
Thanks all for your input
Amanda
This is a common issue, no worries Amanda! Same for me when I flashed the UK Generic 2.3.2 to obtain Root..
How did you fix it???
This happened to me also last time after a reflash. You may try to do a complete drain then do a complete full charge (don't turn on the fone while charging at this time).

Just remove the battery and wait a few sec.

Hi,
I've had my Galaxy Nexus 1 hour - didn't bother charging it as I wanted to play and set it up [like I did with every other mobile].
Plugged it into my USB port and my PC recognised it - then 20 seconds later the screen went blank and I've not been able to boot it since...
I've plugged it into the mains and removed battery and tried to reboot - no luck.
What's wrong?
how long did you discharge it for???
if you ran it down to zero, it may take a while before the phone actually shows anything on the screen.

The phone needs to build up a charge before it boots up. And it doesn't actually charge if your using it while it's plugged in via USB because it's low powered.
I installed the ARHD 7.0.0 ROM on Monday everything was working fine, I also installed the SMooth Rosie MOD and still everything was fine. But today, I lost my phone signal and though oh well i'll leave it whilst I go to the gym, I came back and the bttery ws at 23% (Was at 91% when I left it).
I rebooted the phone and it would get to the lock screen (with no ring) then it would reboot and it constantly done that. I reset everything and formatted everything, I transfered the ARHD 7.0.0 back onto the phone but as I was trying to flash the image, from windows, the battery died, I can't seem to charge it.
All its doing at the moment is flashing the red LED. I tried resetting the LED with power presses in and Vol but it keeps coming back after a few seconds.
I really just need to know how to charge the phone, once its charged I will be able to sort it out. Oh and I can't even turn the phone on at the moment.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like you didnt instal the boot.img
EDIT: put it in the wall charger for 10-15 minutes and dont touch it...
I put it in a wall charger and its stopped blinking. Cheers
Oh and I did install the boot image on Monday, i've been using the phone for two days, then it just lost the signal and then didn't work. Weird!
Thanks again!
Yeah....just pluggin usb charger and leave it for ~1h and U will see, it's charging.
Few days after buying HOX I was on a party with enabled wifi, async, gps ect. Lately this night my phone goes off and I wasn't able to turn it on. At home I plugged in charger but there was no charging led.
Yeah...thougt the new phone was bricked.
With plugged usb I just left it for ~1h and then...TADAA!...charging led!!!
Well tried charging it with the wall charger. At first the light when solid, I returned to it 2 hours later and the light was off. Tried to turn it of and its blinking again, I can't even turn it on Arghh!!
Guys,
I've updated my SmartWatch 3 to 5.1 yesterday via OTA
Everything worked fine.
When battery was low, I charged it up from 9% to around 80% (I switched it off though)
It stuck charging at 80% as it was very hot I removed it from charge.
After 2-3 hours I charged again to complete from 80% to 100% even after 1-2 hours of charge It would not charge.
Today morning I did the same I wouldn't charge. I switched on the watch I got android wear logo and it directly switched off.
Now it's not switching on.
Any help I can get?
Yeah same issue here but it is harder than that ...
I installed TWRP on my watch, and when I received the 5.1 OTA, it seems that it did not want to install the update because I was not on recovery stock. Then, my SW3 started to lag, I was not able to install the ZIP via TWRP, and it was superhot, I was unable to boot Android Wear..
That's so ****ed up, man. I can't even know what should I do. xD
I've got the same (or really similar) problem my watch was out of battery, I put it on the charger, it showed normal charging battery icon, then when I tried to turn it on it doesn't show anything, the display is black and when I held down the power button it vibrated once. The problem is that it isn't only display fault because I can't connect to the watch with my mobile phone. Wat do?

edit: Well that was weird, I unplugged it from the charger and put it there again and now the charging icon is back and when I pressed the button it started to boot. Weird.
Me, too.
After OTA today, my watch is dead. Even long press power button can make freeze screen reboot.

Okay guys, here my solution, it worked for me :
If the screen of your SW3 is completly dark:
1) Just let it plug. In fact, the watch is charging, it's just not shown up (I dunno why...)
2) Let it like that for 1 hour, and then unplug it and let it cool down for 10 mn.
3) Install the Sony Companion App on your PC.
4) Keep ressing the power button of your watch til a screen with the watch and USB appears.
5) Plug It to your PC, open the Companion App.
6) Somewhere in the menus, you can resinstall the OS of the watch, RESET it, find the menu.
7) Let your watch restart.
And you're done ! It worked for me, so try.
I left it aside from morning to evening. Didn't even touched it. It completely discharged. So I kept to charge once again and it magically booted up and now working fine. Seems pretty weird. ?

As I read in other post, I can confirm there is some kind of bug when you are charging your SW3, if you turn it on with the usb cable charging and the screen showing the battery %, the smartwatch gets like frozen and doesn't do anything.. In case you have this problem, you should wait until the battery goes to 0%, start charging your sw3 BUT when you are going to turn it on again first unplug the usb cable and wait until the battery % display dissapears.. I did it after I read it in other post in XDA (I don't have the link here.. I was searchig for it on another computer) and worked for me.
I hope it works for all.. sorry if my English it's not perfect hehe

Hi guys!
I have problems with my tab 3 (SM-T210). I leave the tablet to my desk for guite well time and the battery goes to zero... It dont let me charge, then i watch some videos from youtube and i do the trick(diconnect the battery cable and then re connect it). Yeah that works and the tablet gets charged. when i watched it, the screen is black and no sings of life... I rip the cable again, now when i connect the charger it not show the battery indikator, it only shows the (samsun galaxy tab 3) logo for some 2 seconds and then it dies and i have to disconnect the battery cab..., and if i try to turn on (and first get the cable trick) it shows thw same logo for 2 seconds and dies. What is wrong i cannot get it to recovery- or odin mode...
thanks for helpping!
plug it in and leave overnight. might turn on.
looks like we have the same problem. [In theory] IF you have a backup and a boot.img you need to flash that img to a microsd and plugin to the tablet. If you have a boot.img I need one too can you upload it?
