Plugged in my S23+ this afternoon when battery was at 20%. Checked back an hour later, phone was completely dead. I thought there was something wrong with the charger (Samsung OEM super fast charger). Tried several other chargers no luck. Tried several options to restart it (power+volume up, power+volume down). Tried charging wirelessly with the SmartThings Station, no luck. Went to Verizon, they tried wired and wireless charging, no luck. I've had the phone for less than 3 months, so fortunately, they were able to order a replacement phone.
I installed One UI 6.1 when it came out a few weeks ago. This morning, I downloaded the latest security patch, it was scheduled to install overnight later tonight.
Anyone else experience bricked S23s?
I don't want a new phone and have to reinstall everything....and worse, find out I cant recover a bunch of stuff.
Equally weird....24 hours after the phone refused to charge or to power on.....it suddenly decided it was good to charge and power back on.
I went to Batteries+ where they used a regular charger/cable but with a sensor that displayed the voltage and current at the cable. Almost like that tricked the dead phone/battery because after that the phone was fine charging with any of the cables and chargers that wouldn't work for 24 hours.
Not sure if my phone has a defect and wouldn't be surprised if it this repeats in the future.
