today morning when i get up and try to check my sms'es..the phone is off.
i try to press the button on top but it doesnt turn on.
i plug in charging cable..it powers...but the OS never loads..and as 'windows 6.1' green window comes..the phone goes off again.
this happened 3 times.
i also removed and re-inserted battery...but still the same.
what is the problem?
It doesn't have enough charge.
Turn the phone off, charge it for a few hours (overnight preferably), then turn it back on.
If that doesn't work you might want to hard reset it (Hold left and right HW keys while turning the phone on then use the keyboard for the prompts).
This Thread deals with a very similar problem to the one you are experiancing.
thanks got it.
it is on now.
seems like the battery was totally dead.
It's funny how there is a topic about this in the front page full of responses and you ask in a new topic.
was panicky...was expecting this girl's sms.
be carefull next time before posting
Hey
Usually I dont use caps in titles or "help" "urgent" etc but something has happpened to my Desire Z and now it just wont turn on.
Basically I left it charging with the green led on and when I went somewhere I noticed that the green led wasnt on but I supposed that it was actually blinking notifing me of some notification so I didnt even look. When I got to my destination, I went to turn it on and usual way a press of the power button. The screen didnt light up. I supposed it was some kernel panic or something so I simply took out the battery and put it back in and pressed the power button to turn on. This is when I started to worry: It didnt turn on. I again took it out and in and still nothing. Only at ONE point did it show the white HTC logo booting then it went black again and still nothing.
I came back home and plugged it into the charger, another fear: No LED at all. Im trying it with and without the battery and it seems like nothing. Seems dead.
Is there any other test I can do or something? Im worried about it....
Also, it is rooted so if I return it, I have the warranty problem of not serving rooted devices. And I cant unroot it since it wont turn on.
Please some help
Thanks!
After about 30 minutes without the batter inside, I reinstered it and it was plugged into the charger and orange LED went up I turned it on and it turned on
Relieved but....I do want to know the reason behind this just in case next time....My warranty expires May 5 so.....
On that last note, should I unroot it and return it just to get a refund? Scared something like this may rehappen.
By default, on a nightly, it was on the interactive governor when it has always been on ondamand. After reading a description, Ive changed it to ondamand just in case...
No one answered cause this is really common and you would have found hundreds of these threads if you had searched.
Next time it happens:
Take the battery out
Wait 5mins (not 5 seconds)
put battery in
hold the power button for a few seconds
plug in the charger after the screen has light up (NOT BEFORE)!)
Phone will boot and be charging
If that doesn't work, try again but leave the battery out for 30mins.
If that doesn't work you need a new battery.

Even though it is common, why does this happen?
The technical details behind it always help resolve a problem in the future.
Hey guys, i got a problem with my N4 :
When i plug-in the charger, the battery icon appears, after few cycles of the battery icon the screen turns off and if i turn on the screen again, the phone turns off and the red led start blinking.
I recently tried to fix the "red light of death" issue that i had ( i removed the battery connector and then put it in again ).
Also, if I hold power + down volume, the n4 starts but turn off after showing the "Google" logo.
I believe its a software problem but i dont know neither which one it i nor how to fix it.
I'm sry for my english and i hope someone will help me
Thanks.
That sounds more like a hardware issue. You can try flashing the stock images, but I'm guessing you're in need of an RMA.
One last thing, when i go to fastboot ( holding power + down volume ), as soon as i reach the menu the phone instantly boot without me telling him to do so. Thats why i think theres something wrong with the software.
Any last moment idea before i sent my phone to RMA ?
Hi guys,
Before anyone says anything, I have already searched google/xda for this issue and found the common fix for the red light issue which involves opening up the phone.
However, before I go about performing an open heart surgery on my phone I just want to confirm that it is the same issue and hence I have made this thread.
So here's the story:
Last night my phone gave me the 15% warning but I was too damn sleepy to plug in my phone so I just slept. Next morning I wake up and plug it in only to find the blinking red light. I left it in for an hour and removed it to find it incredibly warmer than normal and of course, it still was not coming on.
So I unplugged it and replugged it into the charger. This time the red light blinked twice and then the white battery sign came up. Only difference is that now a fully charged white battery sign keeps blinking (no red light anymore). When I try to turn it on it reaches the Google Logo before shutting down again.
Would like advice on if I should go about opening up my phone (I prefer not to obviously) or just charge it for 8 or so hours before taking any further action.
Thanks in Advance
EDIT:
I used http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/312151-solved-nexus-4-wont-turn-charge.html and was able to boot into bootloader mode however, it still doesn't go past the google logo when I select the 'Start' option.
EDIT 2:
Revived phone using above. Close thread.
Hello to all experts.
1- Accidently my wileyfox storm battery was fully drained at night and i was not at home during that time.
I connected mobile to wall outlet it was showing red colour on home button when connected (as a battery charging indication) but after near about 8 hours i tried to turn it on but no luck. I pressed power button for many seconds, many times but no luck.
Now what should I do to turn on my wileyfox storm.
2- My second question is how to open back cover of my wileyfox storm. i did not find any notch or point to open back cover to see inside.
Thanks in advance.
Plug your phone on charge but not in usb, and wait about 20mn
I am having this problem as well right now, how did you fix it?
I too have the same problem , it was off because drain , but then put in office is no longer lights . the light is always red . what can I do?
Leave it charging for a while from the mains. Red light means charging on low charge, the screen doesn't turn on until it has some charge.
it is normal to be in power for eight hours, and nothing has changed ? Red light always on and off screen

I am no expert, but I've had the same problem after fully running the phone battery down. While looking for an answer I managed resolve the issue by to hold the power down and down array while the phone in chagrining for around 2 minutes and the phone started up, almost by complete accident.

I had the same issue you are having, battery ran down to empty, charge light would always be red no matter how long it was plugged in, slow charge, fast charge, holding down the power button, even with the inclusion of the vol down, nothing worked.
I fixed it by opening up the phone and disconnecting then reconnecting the the battery. After doing so the phone started to properly charge (phone booted up and displayed the battery animation). Everything now operates as normal, though I won't be letting it drain to 0% again, that's for sure.
If you're able to, give it a shot and hopefully it will do the trick for you as well (though I'm probably way to late).
Hello to all
I again have the same problem, the battery of my storm has fully discharged, but although is it charging for many hours the LED light is always red and the phone will not turn on. This time even while holding together power button and volume less nothing is happening.
Can anyone help me and tell me how I can fix ?
Level1imp how did you open the phone to disconnect the battery ?

After I read your message here, I've tried and finally I solved this problem in my phone.
I was getting crazy because there isn't place to fix this phone in my country and the company Wileyfox wanted me to send my phone to someone in europe to them send to Wilefox to fix it. I've spoke with the company today to see what could they do for me and the solution they gave to me was this and to I try to open the back by myself. But this last solution it isn't a solution because would make me loose the garantee. Why the technician didn't told me about this solution? I'm so disappointed with them.
hi i have a wileyfox storm it is not going on when i press power button .now i connect with wall charger so it show a red circle on the bottom and phone show logo on and of .how can i put it on
This works!!
For anyone who needs it, this also works on wileyfox swift 2
Had this too, but solved
Just had this problem occur on my Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus. Completely drained, left on charge for 4h but it got 0% charged in that time.
For me, hooking it up to a slightly stronger power source (5V 2.1A) USB port of my power bank,
in combination with Power + Volume UP
Got me to a boot screen I'd never seen before.
Hit Fast Boot, it looked like it just turned off again but a few seconds later I saw the normal boot screen pop up
