well for the start i woke up one morning and my magician was turned off (no reason for that..full battery etc) and when i tried to turn it on the blue led only blinks one time and nothing..if i connect the charger a red light turns on and nothing else. If i leave it connected to the pc after like 10 mins it turns on but with a blank screen and i can hear startup sound but nothing happens. after several minutes it goes back to "sleep" . if anybody knows what´s wrong (about my magician not my english) please reply. thanks in advance
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

I searched to see if I could find an answer but there weren't any posts that could specifically help me. I only found one post but it wasn't clear.
My phone was working fine in the morning but when I checked on it after class it wouldn't wake up but light was still blinking. I thought a simple soft reset would unfreeze it but nothing. After removing the battery to get it to power off it won't turn back on. A guy posted this same problem in one of the threads and there was a mention of the battery but it was vague. When I try to charge it, there are no indicator lights. With the battery out, the red indicator light is on.
Can someone help me find out whats wrong and if I can fix it myself. Is it the battery or the phone? Thanks in advance

Hi
First, I notice you have not tried a hard reset. This will in all probability fix your problems, but you will loose any data of your own that you have saved on the device. (hope you have a fullbackup!!)
Before doing the hard reset it may be worth running through the steps here http://michael-channon.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!4472423472DCFC38!202.entry for the refusal to charge issue. You see I am not sure whether your device is not turning on because it has insufficient power or whether it has a major "crash". Hermes does have a problem for some folks when it reaches very low charge of not being able to staret charging. This though is normally indicated by a RED LED showing when charger is plugged in (clearly yours only does this with battery out - which is normal) Somehow you need to get that Amber LED showing. Repeat the charging solution a few times - it does not always work straight off.
When all else fails - hard reset.

nothing working yet
Hard reset isn't working. Is the menu supposed to come up even if theres no battery? Tried hard reset with and without the battery, but nothing pops up. Your charging solution hasn't worked yet but I'll keep trying. Any other things I can try? Thanks for the help mike.
It worked for me: Remove battery and plug it to AC during 5 minutes. Then insert the battery and soft reset. My TynT came back life in this way
'Dead device won't charge (solution provided)'
This isn't for your model I don't think, but the "won't charge" problem (and hence solution) sound similar. It worked for me on a dead SPV M3000 (HTC Wizard, iMate etc) (and was I grateful!!)

I got my TyTN a week ago (actually it is a Softbank X01HT)
The device just died today. I cannot turn it on (battery was fully charged), no lights are on, I tried removing the battery, SIM card, soft/hard reset nothing helps, it seems like it is dead and nothing is turning on even when connected to the power.
Can anyone please advise? is there anything I can do to revive it??
thanks
Does it show a constant RED LED light when you plug in the charger?
Mike
Can you describe the incident that lead to the "bricking" of your tytn?
The more we know the better we can make suggestion/give help.

No light is on when connected, it is just all blank. I didn't do anything actually. Finished a phone call, put the device back in my pocket when I took it out again it was dead and coldn't do anything. No ROM change or software installation or anything. I was wondering if there is any way to "revive" it.
Thank you for the help in advance !

Don't think I've heard of one being completely dead before. There are cases where the battery drains very rapidly to zero charge in a veryshort time and will then refuse to charge. BUT in those cases the device at least shows a RED no charge LED when you plug in the charger.
I don't think I can suggest anything other than warranty / repair. I assume you can rule out that the charger is faulty. This could be shown by plugging into PC using USB lead and confirming that again no RED LED shows.
One final thought but I think it is a long shot and that is to leave the battery out for 10 minutes and then retry.
It may be possible that an internal connector has come adrift but unless you wish to open it up then again we're back to warranty / repair.
Mike
Bad news for me. I was afraid I will have to do that...
Thanks for the reply though.
If anyone else has ny suggestion I'll be happy to hear it
Goodday to all,
I have a problem that my MDA will not turn on.

Plzzz. could somebody help me fix this problem.
Thanks in advance and Kind Regards

Thanks keeper for your reply, but it is not the switch which you refer on the link.
Because when i pushed the switch forward it doesn't matter the red LED still burning or when i released the switch it still burning.
Like i said sometimes by random the MDA will go on so the LED is than not burning.
But after a short time it go out by itself and i can't get it on.
The red LED burning is only when i have the MDA on the bat loader.
When not on the bat loader there is no LED of what color burning.
Thanks and Kind Regards

Uh...well, it sounds like a dead battery...

...buy a new replacement battery and check if the problem persists...
If you want to try something before buying the battery, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328981
It's just that your switch might be broken...try and short it with a wire (glue the wires in there), just to check if you have a damaged switch or not.

Hi.
Got my Nike about one week ago, and everything was fine but from few days green LED is turned on constantly, also if i will turn off the phone. It only goes off if i will take out the battery, but straight after putting it back into phone it lights up :/ When phone is turned on and the LED is on and i will slide keyboard out and in it goes off for some time. I turned off diodes in registry but it's still the same.
Can any one help me? It looks like it's draining battery much faster frome the time it happened for first time.
Thanks for help
not sure it will help, but test NUELED 1.5:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=111075&d=1220599385
Thanks for that app, but i don't think that it will help because led is on also when the phone is turned off, but any way i will give it a try.
Tried to hard reset it last night but it's still the same.
Regards
Hi all,
My Nexus 4 just shut down after going really hot. I cannot turn it on anymore, when I press the On/Off button with our without the volume buttons nothing happens, except if it is plugged in.
In that case, after about 15 sec I have a blinking red led.
I think the problem is material, but I don't know if the problem comes from the battery or something else. I don't want to buy a new battery if my Nexus 4 is dead... So I am trying to figure out if the problem is about the battery or not. I think not because even when plugged in, nothing shows on the screen when I try to turn it on.
What do you think ?
Thanks very much for your help,
Guillaume.

When you get the blinking red led while on the charger, how many time does it flashes ?
Is it the same as this:
"
By red flashing light, I mean: Hold power for 12 secs with good charger connected gives flashing red light: one short, pause circa 2 sec, 11 flashes at one per sec, pause under 1/4 sec, one short dim flash, pause c. 2 sec, repeat. This is the notification LED directly above the USB socket.

Hi cxda48,
I have the exact same behaviour : 11 flashes, a short pause followed with one short flash, then repeat.
You have an idea of what it means ?
Thanks !
I had a similar problem. The phone will not start and when you put the red light blinking loaded several times. My Solving: I opened the phone and pulled the battery pins. I connected the battery and the phone started normally.

*similar* but not the same I guess.
It seems like the IC that turns on and off the LED is the PMIC ("Power Management Integrated Circuit"). When something goes wrong, this IC has got some intelligence to give out some information about what is wrong (a bit like the bios on a PC). So 11 red LED flashes is an error code I guess. When the battery is disconnected it's 1 red LED flash (that error code probably means battery not present/worng) in my experience.
I know at least that with the 11 flashes issue, changing / reconnecting a charged battery does not solve this issue
Would anyone have information about what these codes mean ?
this just happened to me. Any solutions?

I thought I should give some feedback on how I sorted out this problem:
After discussion with google after-sales, I sent it for repair to the official LG repair contractor in the UK (SBE Ltd, based in Ashford, UK).
I precisely chose to go through LG repair rather than google because google warned me they would replace the nexus4 so I would
1) loose my data
2) get a potentially worse phone(refurbished) than mine (which is really mint with outstanding battery life)
I sent the phone with instructions on what I think needed done : replacement of the PMIC and *not* a swap of motherboard. When the nexus4 was back, I noticed they ignored my message & swapped the motherboard .
They kept my housing but they also swapped the battery(was not required) and now the battery life is very poor ! I am still in communication with LG regarding the battery issue
