Phone won't turn on, just vibrates when plugged in

Last night, I plugged my phone in before bed. It showed on the battery icon that it was charging, and the red charge indicator light was on once the display turned off. However, by the time I woke up, the phone was dead, though still plugged in. I couldn't get it to do anything, so I tried an old battery that I had. Put the battery in, the phone turned on and showed a 47% charge. Knowing that battery was garbage (which is why I got a new one; I just held onto the old one for emergencies), I put the phone on the charger and the battery icon showed charging. Instantaneously, though (I'm not exaggerating, it was literally instant), the phone dropped to a 1% charge. I quickly tried to turn the phone off to see if I could even get even a little bit of an efficient charge out of it, and the phone started power cycling. I tried to stop it, but it turned itself off and on probably 20 times before it finally totally died (kind of reminded me of how sometimes an sick animal will go bat guano bonkers before it kicks it).
Now, when I try to plug the phone in it just pulse-vibrates every 2 or so seconds instead of showing that it's charging. It will continue to vibrate like that for a minute or two after I take it off the charger before it finally stops. Won't turn on in any mode, plugged in or not - I do get a flicker of the opening "Samsung Galaxy" screen before it shuts off and goes back to vibrating. I've tried to let it charge for 30-45 minutes, but no change. Taken the battery out, smacked it a few times, tried to charge with my computer, tried different cables/chargers, nothing helps. I have no idea if either battery has any charge at all at this point (though I suspect not). I haven't damaged my phone at all - no recent/significant drops, no water - but of course I'm just barely barely out of warranty. Am I toast or is there some way to fix this?

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, since (as I clearly noted in my original question) my phone will not turn on, I can't confirm the phone software, though I've downloaded any and all updates that I've been notified of. I have no idea if any apps updated immediately prior to the issue happening; it's likely that some update to something downloaded not long before the problem started since I plugged in the phone shortly after I got home for the evening and reconnected to my home WiFi, but I wouldn't have any way to tell you what it might be. My phone will not boot in safe or recovery mode either, if that helps answer if an app is causing the issue.
I tried to take it to a Verizon store; they told me that they had literally NEVER heard of my issue before and so wouldn't be able to fix it and didn't even attempt to help, just tried to sell me a new phone, so that wasn't super helpful. Since I had zero problems up to this point with my phone, and because I'm now not eligible for the early upgrade to the Edge program without the early termination fee because I don't have a working phone, it sure would be great to fix the one I have. If anyone else has any advice, I'd appreciate it!

Ipad won't shut down, blank screen

Ipad(gen2) won't shut down, Blank screen and shows working only

While the iPad is on hold the Home button and Power button at the same time for 10 seconds or so until the iPad powers down and then powers back up. Sometimes it won't power back up and you have to hold the Power button until it comes back on.
This resets the iPad and is usually one of the first things to try when troubleshooting issues like this.

New macbook pro won't turn on unless it's plugged in and won't charge

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and it won't turn on unless it's plugged in. When I unplug it, it immediately shuts down. It's not my charger because my brother has the same laptop so I tried his and it still doesn't work. The battery light on the charger is green and it says on the top of the screen not charging.
This is what it says about my battery:
Charge Information:

I have not heard of a good reason for this to happen or how to fix. 3 days later my screen lights up and says to connect to charger.... so its back "for now". Best music player on the market when it works.

Why do my ipad turn blue (the screen) when i charged it?

why do my ipad turn blue (the screen) when i charged it?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
*1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
*2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
*3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
*4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
*5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

IPhone 4 won't turn on unless it's plugged in.

My iPhone won't turn on unless it's plugged into either my speaker dock or a portable charging phone case and even then, it gets stuck on a reset loop about five times before it fully turns on. When it does turn on, it tells me to activate the phone with iTunes. But then I can't unplug it or it'll just turn off.
I've tried plugging the phone into a wall charger and my laptop, but it gets stuck on the reset loop and doesn't even turn on.
I've tried to do a restore (both normally and on DFU mode) but it always comes up with Error 2000.
I've tried to use TinyUmbrella to fix it; doesn't work.
I've tried to replace the battery - same problem exists.
Please help?

Good luck.

Outlook mail being received but blank screen when I open the app

Outlook mail being received but blank screen when I open the app

This seems to be going on around here for a couple of days. I have seen several discussions about the mail app opening to a bank screen with different variations and issues after the blank screen appears. I wish I could say that my suggestion is the definitive fix, but I can't. Give it a try anyway and see what happens.
Close the mail app completely and reset your iPad. Not data will be lost.
In order to close the mail app, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the mail app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My iPod nano 5th generation got wet and now the backlight is so weak I can barley read anything on it. Also, it won't turn on unless it is plugged in (i.e. to a stero or my Mac), so i cant listen to it anywhere but in my house! Help!

If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.

How can I turn off computer screen, when mirroring to apple tv?

How can I turn off computer screen, when mirroring to apple tv?
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't. Mirroring is just what it says, it mirrors exactly what is on your computer screen, if there is nothing on your computer screen, that's what you will see on your TV screen.
