When the phone is shut down and i am trying to power on, This icon shows up first on long pressing the power buton. Then pressing the power button second time switches the phone on. Any idea? (Ps- showing this even when battery is charged. Basically on every boot)
Battery low icon
A similar situation with mine. Sometimes it will not boot up until I put it on charge, and yet the battery is well charged. I reset phone but no difference. Carphone warehouse reckon that they need to repair it under warranty. Problem is that it is not registered in my name although I have receipt

Hi. So after a long wait I got my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML today. The first thing I did was turning it on and it turned on normally, then I proceeded to make the initial setup (logging into google account, etc) without any problems. Then after about 10 minutes of use the phone suddenly turned off with the battery being at around 35% and didn't want to turn on again. I read that old firmware (like the one that comes default with the phone) had battery display errors so I thought the phone had run out of battery, so I charged it for 8 full hours and I unplugged it now. To my surprise the phone is not turning on either. The only way I can make the screen show something is by connecting it to the charger, it vibrates and displays a white battery icon, eventually changing to fully green (fully charged battery, the green led indicator also appears) only to disappear like 3 seconds after. Can't turn the phone on while charged and can't even make the phone show the battery icon again (unless I unplug and plug again, repeating the cycle). So, what can I do to turn it on?
Thanks in advance.

I have a feeling that you did not hold the power button long enough. Disconnect the charger first, and wait for about 10 seconds. Then, hold the power button for at least 6 seconds. The phone should then vibrate and then you may release the power button. Other reasons why your phone may not seem to be turning on at all might be due to the back cover not being fully locked in, thus not making any contact with the power on the motherboard itself.
Do report back the results.

I did. Doesn't work. I also removed the back cover and pressed the power button with nails with no results either. Personally I think there's something to do with the power button as it doesn't even responds while charging (pressing it should display the battery icon) and the only time I could use the phone it didn't work to wake up the phone or setting it to sleep, only double tapping worked. What is strange is that it worked the first time I turned on the phone though.
Are you able to get into FastBoot mode? If so please try performing a hardware reset including wipe cache partition. Please see the following:

I am facing same problem.my zf2 power button does not work and unfortunately my mobile switched off.now I m not able to switch on again.nothing happen when I press power button. Is there any other way to switch on ?please suggest me if u get solution
I was using the phone when it froze, i tried restarting it nothing happened so i pulled the battery. Now it wont turn on.
When i try to charge the phone, no battery indicator is shown, even the LED does not light up.
The only signs of life is when i connect the phone to the power bank, the power bank shows that phone is attempting to draw electricity when i press the power button
I got the battery checked externally and it came up healthy and 100% charged.
The phone is not detected by the PC, no matter what button configuration I press.
what are my options? Thank you for your time.

Its a hardware problem. Many people have had such issues, take the device to a service center.
I had this problem , here are some problems:
1.battery failure : makes the phone shut down unexcpectedly until it fries the board or emmc.
2. Go to fix centre immediatly , dont wait ,dont do anything at your risk.

Hi,
Really need some help with my LG G3 phone.
Bit of background
My phone network is O2, my kid was watching a you tube video and all he did was hit skip ad and my phone shut down. My phone at the time of shut had around 95% battery.
The phone does not switch on now, when I insert the charger no lights appear stating it charging nor does the screen come on. The phone has not been rooted or anything like that.
When I remove the battery and put the phone on charge the screen displays an image which states no battery is included but when I insert the battery back in the phone displays just goes dead again and nothing occurs
What I have done
I have bought a new battery and still no joy with that
I have held Volume Button down and Power button and no joy
When no battery is in and the above process is followed the screen flickers after around 13-15 seconds but then still shows that no battery is present
Last night the phone did show a little sign of life. I left it all day by itself and then just switched pressed the power button for 3 seconds or so and the LG boot up screen kicked in but then after 10 seconds it switched off. It has not replicated this again though.
Does anyone have any ideas of what i could try next?
I just received a used Tab S 10.5 from a reputable Ebay supplier. It didn't turn on initially so I plugged in the charger and it showed a solid gray battery icon with a solid white lightning bolt. I assume that means it's fully charged. Still wouldn't turn on with the power button so I tried holding the power and volume buttons together. I'd get a short vibration after 6 or 7 seconds and the battery icon would go off but it wouldn't start. I finally got it to start (not sure what I did differently) but now it has been stuck on the Samsung Tab S opening screen for several minutes. I tried turning it off with the power button but holding it down for about 10 seconds had no effect so I let it go and the logo screen stayed on.
Before I contact the supplier for a refund or exchange I would like to know a few things. Are the Samsung Galaxy Tabs finicky about turning on? Any known issues with power buttons? What's the proper procedure with the power button alone doesn't work? I've seen both power + volume down and power + volume up.
Update 30 min after original post: my assumption about the battery icon was incorrect. I tried turning it on again it worked and the battery showed 3%. I started the setup but just connecting to my network drained the battery down to 0% (even though it's plugged into the charger) so it shut off. At least I know now I'll have to wait a few hours.

Since the issue has been resolved (and was due to inadequate information on my part rather than a problem with the tablet), I am asking the moderator to remove this thread.
This is a strange one.
HTC 10 2PS6500, Android 8. Has been working fine. Today I took the phone out of the pocket, to find that it's been turned off. Strange, I know the battery was almost full, so it's not a power down due to low battery.
Tried to turn it on with the power button, didn't work.
Held the power and volume up + down at the same time, a few seconds later the phone vibrated and powered up. Battery at 92%. No sign of what might have happened. Phone was working. I wondered what happened but soon forgot about it.
A few hours later, I charged the phone back to 100%. While using it, the screen timed out, when I pressed the power button again, a message popped up saying "HTC recovered from an abnormal reset, send it to HTC" or something like that, and it tells me to tap it twice to send. I tapped it twice, the screen came up. I have the option of Send to HTC or Cancel. I pressed Cancel. The screen froze after that.
Buttons are unresponsive. I pressed the power and volume buttons to reset it, it went black.
Since then I have not been able to get it to respond.
Power button alone - nothing. Tried even holding in excess of 1 minute.
Power + Volume Down - nothing. Held for 10 seconds, 20 seconds, over 1 minute.
Powr + Volume Up + Volume Down - nothing. Held for different durations of time, no difference.
Connected it to a charger, no response, the light up top where it lits when charging does not light up.
It's completely unresponsive. No boot screen, no vibration, nothing at all.
Any idea what else I can try?
well some new development...
I was trying to do the hard reset on the phone periodically. Sometimes with the charger plugged in (but no light on top indicating it's taking any charge). A day later, I was doing another hard reset (not expecting it to respond) but it vibrates and boots up. Since then it has been behaving normally. Strange that battery was at 21%, when it was at 80% when the screen froze. I charged it to 100% then backed up the data while I had it on.
I got about a day of usage out of it, then while I was on a browser scrolling down on a web page, the screen froze again. Battery at 75%. After trying to reset it, the screen went black. Since then, no response on attempts to hard reset.
I have a feeling if I leave it alone for a day and try it it will come back alive.
Doing a search on the net yield nothing except I did see a post someone made saying after the screen froze had to wait till the battery drains 100%, then charge it back up and it will boot again. Is this what is happening? If it's bricked how is it consuming battery?
Anyone has any idea sure would like to hear it.
