Hello XDA-Users....

I've got a little problem with my xda-device.

It's just doing not much. If i attach the device to the cradle. The system turned on and is beginning to start the ROM (I see the T-Mobile screen). I-ve got the hint that the installed ROM is 3.13. Radiostack and Protocol is empty. -> should be then GSM-Error in the bootloader.

After all this messages i've got an short "pling" (beep) of the device, and it all begins from starting....

I can not enter bootloader (nothing happens) and the battery won't be charged..... (There is no light)

I've checked already the fuse of the device. Looks good. What else do i have for possibilities to get the device working again? That the GSM-Part does not work is not important. I need the device just for testing and installing new software to include in the kitchen. So the phone function is not needed.

The battery semms to work, I still got some Volt if i check it with the multimeter.

Anyone have some tips for me?

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
Have you looked at the connector on the base of the xda under magnification, it may be a bent pin on that or on the cradle that is preventing charging.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] LumpiStefan:
Connector looks good.

If i conect it, the device is getting power.

When i disconnect the cable / cradle the device stops doing anything and goes off.

If i do an hard reset with connected USB-cable, nothing happens.

If i try enter bootloader the display is flashing until i refuse the power button. Than endless "booting" starts again...

Stefan
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Guest:
It does sound like a low power situation, I think the gsm will not switch in unless there is sufficient power. If you need a battery I have one here that was removed from an xda a few months ago but should be fine, send me your address if you need it and I will give it to you.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
That previous post was from me. Also have you checked that you dont have a stuck button.?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] LumpiStefan:
The buttons looks fine. tested them already. So that isn't the fault *damn*

If you can send me the battery, that would be very nice.

Maybe it's really the probelm. But i think, if the battery is in bad condition, there should be anway going a light on to show "going to load tthe battery".....

If a hard reset doesn't solve the problem, then try this.

DO A FULL BACKUP FIRST!!!

Open the XDA, and remove the battery

(together with whatever circuit is attached)

Put the battery in the freezer for about 20 minutes.

Remove it, and reinstall it.

Now put it back in the cradle and it should charge.

Then to a restpore from the backup.

This just happened to me and it brought my XDA back to life.

A chemical process happens to rechargeable batteries that

prevents them from receiving a charge. Apparently freezing

the battery for a very short time (20 minutes) corrects this.

Try this at your own risk, but I did it to my only XDA and it is working fine

for about a week now. Otherwise I would have had to scrap my XDA.

Let me know how it works for you.

Sorry to hear it didn't work.

Its been over a week and mine seems to be holding up.

I'd have to guess you battery is completely dead.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] blisterj:
i have the same problem

you seem to be having the same problem as me m8 do you have no radio

or information on the radio task bar.

my unit keeps on re-starting the same as yours and i cant access setup even after hard reset. i attempt to charge the unit and the pwr light comes on briefly then goes out after approx 10 secs the unit then starts itself up and as mentioned before turns itself on and off randomly.

(i have no software for this unit just the unit and charger no memory card)

i am new to pda's do i need any softwares if i get it working?

any feedback appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Hey guys, it's been awhile since I asked a question, but here I am, lol.

In a nutshell, I'm pretty sure something in my device (hardware) is fried, but I thought I'd see if anyone knows better.

The problem is my device seems to be sending power out of the usb port, and doesn't connect to the pc or recognize it is charging correctly.

This also applies to download mode (windows says device has malfunctioned) and when powered off (there is no battery that shows up when plugged in). In order to power back on after turning it off, I have to remove the battery, then reinsert it while holding down the power. I can't think of much that could have caused this, other than I was visiting places with high humidity levels. One unusual thing that happened before this started was my device rebooted into safe mode when playing bad piggies. That was really weird since I have tried booting into safe mode before, but thought samsung must have disabled it for some reason. I have already tried wiping data and flashing a new kernel/rom. Obviously I can't re-partition since I can't connect to my computer in download mode. What do you guys think? I think it is time for a new device. :(

EDIT: I should mention that it started behaving normally yesterday for about 5 minutes, but then it went back to this.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Dr. Cyanide:
I'm 99.9% sure that under normal conditions that an Android device should never power the USB port. Source of speculation. If it is indeed powering the USB, then you've either got a really wonky firmware installed, or some sort of hardware issue. I'd try to make sure that it's sending power out before going further (especially if you can't charge it, the battery will be dead soon). After this test, I'd keep the battery out for a while, just to be sure it's not going to short anything.

One thing I've noticed in my tinkering is that taking a device apart, then putting it back together again can mysteriously fix problems (although 75% of the time the fix is temporary). If you suspect water damage, opening it up and letting it air out might help. I want to say there are certain cleaners that are great for cleaning up any water spots that might be shorting things out, but I've never had to try myself.

That's all I can think of right off. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Yeah, I'm working on taking it apart right now. With my limited experience on electronics, I would be willing to bet it's a capacitor that's gone bad somewhere. That wouldn't be a problem on a desktop since I could just solder a new one in, but I don't think I have the skill to do something in such a small scale, not to mention I don't think you can even buy them that small.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
The same thing happened to me, and I had to send it in for repair. Luckily, I was still in warranty. Also, are you sure it's not the charger cord?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I've tried multiple cables, and I'm unfortunately out of warranty.

Upon disassembling and cleaning with rubbing alcohol, it seemed to be working properly, with the exception of computer connection. However, I plugged it into a DC car charger (leaving the charger itself unplugged from an outlet), and the light came on again (which is what I was talking about when I said it was sending power out), and now it is acting weird again. :eek: I guess I'll take it apart and clean it again...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
honestly, i cannot begin to fathom what could be causing this. it seems to me samsing paid more attention to the charging port then say amazon did on the first gen kindle.

i do however, wish you the best of luck and hope you somehow manage to fix it
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Dr. Cyanide:
See! Told you taking it apart and putting it back together again works... temporarily. :silly:

You're right, that does sound like power going out. Which would be super cool for powering, say, a micro USB laser pointer, but it's not so great when it should be charging. Can you double check with another device that the charger doesn't light up normally? I know my wife's laptop charger has a LED that stays on for a long time after it's been unplugged from the wall, sipping off of power left in the charger. It could be something similar with your charger.

Just a though... if power is only suppose to go into the device, then wouldn't it be reasonable to assume to that there would be a diode forcing power to only go one way? Or does it need to cycle power back to the charger? IDK, but it might be worth looking to see if something looks missing.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I read somewhere that if the battery voltage gets too low i.e. battery is totally flat, a current will flow from the device to the charger so this may be what's going on here. I didn't really understand the post as I was just whizzing through the thread, but i think the solution was to charge the device for many hours until the battery voltage was high enough for normal charging to occur. I'll try and locate the post, but it might take a while
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
[MENTION=4304635]iJimaniac[/MENTION] if all of these suggestions dont work, there is the possibility to just buy another battery and a battery charger and keep switching out the batteries when they die
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Maybe [MENTION=5241405]henk5066[/MENTION] would know something about this?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] henk5066:
From what it sounds like, your power circuit is fried and is not directing power correctly this means that you're probably going to have to replace the mainboard. however don't worry. you can get one from a player with a broken screen on ebay for about 10 $. I can p.m. you some links to products on eBay with main board working and not screen and I can post a video on YouTube that shows you how to replace the board. it's actually rather quite easy. I don't get why most people don't do that and instead buy a new one. let me know if that helps
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Wow, I didn't realize a broken player is so cheap. I'll look into it, and instructions won't be needed; I've already fully dissasembled my device many times in the past, just for kicks.

Edit: could you send me those links? I'm having a hard time finding very many under $25, which is still a good price I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] henk5066:
the broken player it's self is cheap (0.99$ if your lowest bidder and win) it is shipping that makes up for most of the cost. Just make sure you get one that says powers on, that is the main indicator that the main board is still good.

EDIT: I just looked on ebay, aparantly the person i bought my new board is out of the 4.0 player. and it looks like there is however one with a 9.99$ bid. you could raise it and get the player but that is the cheapest you will get. i will pm you a link to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Hell.Knight:
I had the same problem

I had the same problem, what i did was, instead of charging it with the original charger, i charged it with my nexus 10 charger in download mode all through the night, and the next day it would have about 80 percent charge and it was in the system, but it drained quick when i would unplugged it, so i repeat the same procedure over several days until get to 100% and scince then i have had no problems with my SGP, hopefully i helped you
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] henk5066:
Interesting, i thought the devices could not charge in download mode.

On the subject of odd charging behavieor, has anyone noticed that when plugged in running cyanogenmod overclocked to 1200mhz, the micro usb port area on the player gets rather hot?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
I haven't noticed excessive heat in that area.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CarlM34:
Hi mate....I have done a little digging and had to extract the Neatrom SystemUI to take a look.........there is no issue with you phone or your battery it is because there is a small problem with the battery icons not displaying as they should in the status bar. The theme is a 100% battery and there are around 200 icons for the battery in my theme. Unfortunately the Neatrom battery in the status bar does not have half as many icons and will not always display the correct battery %. You could always use the display battery % under display setting till I can fix this.

Other than the battery everything else should be fine:good:

I am working on fixing this!

Hi mate ( and all other Neatrom users)

I have added a fix for the battery issue to POST 3.

I would be grateful if someone could tell me that it works please. I have tested on my own phone and it looks OK and decreasing as it should with the correct battery icon and %.

It will replace your existing SystemUI with a modded one. Just needed an couple of xml's modding and some more images adding to on of the res folders ;)

Hi CarlM34, Love your beautiful theme. I have changed to Neatrom just for your theme. Would you be able to change the colour to darker blue as in attached. Rather difficult to see with that light blue. Many thanks

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CarlM34:
Thanks mate:good:

What ROM did you come from? Also. did you flash the modded UI in post 3 for the battery fix?

I will see what I can do regarding the blue. I agree it is difficult to see when in the task manager but thought it looked quite cool as when you choose an option it becomes mor clearer....will see what I can sort out......may just be a flashable zip to change it to a darker blue! :)
