I was running Fresh 2.0d for about 2 days and everything was working fine.
I was in the middle of testing if bambuser stream app was any good and it just...kind of died.
The battery was at 0% basically but I had it plugged in to the comp. The phone's charge light it turning on but the phone wont power on...
Help?
Don't panic. It is just "shot" as I call it. Needs time to charge and cool down. I would recommend plugging it into a wall charger is possiable. Pull the battery out first though and pop it back in. Then put it on the charger for 15 mins. I promise it will come right back on (I have this problem when tethering for days on end LOL)
Yeah I was hoping I'd get a response like this... cause the charge is functioning... its just not turning on
But yeah it WAS at 0% so its kind of stupid to make a topic like this.
HAHA Well I understand the worries. When this 1st happened to me, My heart sank and I died inside xD. I could have swore that my company busted me tethering or something and turned off my phone LOL I didn't know.
Can't live without tethering
There's actually a warning from HTC out there somewhere that says if your battery is below 15% then you shouldn't try charging via USB. But yea as others said I would get it plugged in to a while and be patient. It'll come back to life.
Lol, this just happened to me today too, was testing out the new aloewishus rom, and while booting it went blank, then just... stayed blank. Took batery out, put back in, it'd vibrate then... blank.. Luckily i had a back up, fully charged batery, popped it in and viola! works again, I was super freaked out for a minute.

Interesting...
*takes out of comp and puts in wall*
Yeah I'll charge and check it out in the morning. Gotta get up in 5 hours...
this happens to me all the time. all you have to do is unplug the cable from the phone, push the power button and plug it back in.

Flipz is correct, and I had this happen to me before, even the car charger wouldn't help, I had to wait until I got home and plug it in the wall charger and *poof* it turned on within five minutes of charging (BTW: when it did boot back up the battery was drained 92%)

USB ports can't put out as much current as the wall charger can, so it will charge MUCH slower via USB. If you're running any power hungry apps, it's entirely possible that USB won't be able to keep up and your battery will go dead even though it's plugged in.
In fact, I've noticed on a couple of CPU intensive games even the wall charger just barely "keeps up" (meaning the battery doesn't drain, but it also doesn't gain any significant charge while I'm playing them).
My X10 always turn on when i plug usb cable to charge. Even if i first shut down the phone. Why?!!!
I think its to do with the fact the phone stops charging when it gets to100%. It needs to be on to manage that process.

happened to me aswell. It was impossible to turn off the phone lol.
Yea, once the phone is in charger, you can't turn it off.
It will charge to 100% stop charging, stand by until 90% and resume charging to 100%
Android is linux so, to check the charge lvl it needs to be turned on so, i assume this is the reason of auto power on. I can't say is 100% true but ..

I love this feature as it prevents the phone from overcharging

Nope. I had a HTC Magic and it did not do that. It is a SE feature; trying to look like the Iphone.
its possible. hold down the back button for 5 seconds after turning off completely. prevents it from coming back on.

Thanks for the tip.
Just a question, did you notice whether the charge light went off after reaching full charge?
[Edit: Nope. It it did not work. The phone turned on again. For a second, I thought this may work].
@vistador. Maybe your htc magic had a different type of battery to the x10? x10 is lithium polymer, not lithium ion.

I just took my atrix out of my pocket and its turned off itself, everytime i try to turn it on, the LED light turns green and then goes off. nothing, black screen!
Try pulling the battery out. that should fix it.
I am having this same problem, I've taken the battery out multiple times and tried to do resets but nothing happens. It stays off and only the LED blinks green when I press the power button.

What build are you running? Did you just do the update?
Plug to wall charger.
Same thing happened to me the other day. It's probably because your battery is drained. Plug into a wall charger and let it charge for at least 30 minutes.
Haha thank you guys. I had it plugged into my laptop all night like I do every night to charge. I guess it didnt work. Plugged it into the wall and the screen popped right on. Thanks again!
I can't believe people panic post like this!.......Help, my television wont turn on........did you plug it in? Help, my car wont start.........did you put the key in the ignition?..........Help, my phone wont turn on..........Did you charge the battery?
C'mon people!!!!!

First of all, your reply has no useful information whatsoever, second, when the device works just fine for month while plugged in into computer then one morning it doesn't wake up, what do you expect people do? And why in the world would it matter for a good built phone that charges through USB matter if it's plugged in into computer or a wall charger? - it's nonsense...
In fact, there are many other phones that even if the battery dead it would work when plugged in into computer, even removing battery wouldn't shut it down.
In Atrix case if battery died you have to find a wall charger, then wait 30 minutes? seriously? - well done, Motorola, well done!

It's not nonsense. USB can only provide 500mA of current, wall chargers pretty much can double or triple that. That's why it takes ages to charge any phone over USB compared to a wall charger.
First of all, why are you digging up this relic of a thread? The comment you're responding to is from 4 months ago.
Second of all, @CaelanT is right, sometimes people panic unnecessarily. It happens. And his comment does offer something useful, it's a reminder that sometimes it can be the simplest of things that will resolve your issue.
Third of all, @turl1 is correct about the mA output, that's just common sense, though some newer computers are capable of 1Amp of output.
Have a nice day.

well in my case i had a full battery
it didnt even take me 20 secons for it to pop right up....
what happen was that one battery was basically dead... put it in n nothing, put in the full battery n nothing...
so put in fill battery n pop it in the wall socket n wwollah.. pops right up..
ANOTHER THING... I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND CHARGING FROM A COMPUTER!
was charging mine since day n battery was at 100 n withing 2 hrs it was literally dead n my battery is brand new....
so ye, basically goto train it again...
and as much as possible...USE UR ORIGINAL CHARGER !!!
My wife's Nexus 7 suddenly won't turn on... It still had juice when she went to charge it, but the next day found it was totally dead.
I've tried different chargers, tried to get to the bootloader, opened it and unplugged the battery, hooked it up via USB to my computer, etc and nothing will get this thing to power on.
Any ideas?

I mean, how long did you leave it on AC power? I know when I drain mine since coming to KitKat, it takes as long as a half an hour to respond again.

Sorry, it spent more than a day on the charger. Still nothing, cannot get it to respond at all.

If you haven't already, try holding the power button for a while until *hopefully* the Google splash appears.
A good way to tell if the device is accepting a current is by using a charger that can verify this somehow, like with an embedded LED. One like this: http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/rapid-wall-charger-with-6-ft-cable-for-micro-usb/
I used this for my HTC Rezound when it still worked to make sure it was taking a charge because it would report it was charging in the OS but the charger module itself reported otherwise (the red Verizon ring didn't illuminate unless the charger was positioned a certain way in the device thus this was the only way I could supply it a charge and not hope it wasn't dead in the morning). When my Nexus 7 is drained, it draws enough voltage to get the charger to illuminate so maybe try one of these to really make sure it's still responding.
For the meanwhile, if you do decide to buy one, what was the last thing you/your wife had done? Was there root access?
U need press power for 2 min and need to be pluget into wall

Interesting about the charger -- don't think I have one that does that. Maybe I'll see if my VZW store has one, not sure yet.
She had just used her tablet as normal, and plugged it in like she does every other day or so -- the next morning grabbed it and went to work only to find out that it was dead. IE: not turning on.
- No root access (totally stock)
- I've tried holding the power button for up to 2 mins. - nothing
- Even tried holding the down volume and power for up to 2 mins. together - nothing
- Removed the back and unplugged the battery (plug was really tight) and left it undone for 5 mins and reconnected - nothing
- When plugging in to a USB on the computer, the computer dings like I connected something but - nothing
Perhaps I'll take it apart again and see if I can get a voltage reading on the battery with my multimeter... didn't do that before, but would be good to know if it is charged and not turning on or what.

Remove the back cover, locate the plug to the battery, disconnect plug by sliding from right to left, then replug. Should be fine after that.

Thanks but I already did that. Nothing changed. If I don't get it going soon I'll be forced to buy something else as she is getting impatient.
I have the same issue.
I bought a refurbish one and it was working great for 2 days and yesterday when I tried to open it, it won't turn on anymore and I was able to browse on it 5 min before.
I tried everything but I cannot find any solution...
When I plug into a wall I cannot see the charging icon and when I plug it into my computer it will do the noise that a device is plug but nothing happen... I wonder if its the battery that is crap

I own 3 of these N7 tablets and this has been the number one issue. Sent one for repair when it was under warranty. The supplied Nexus wall charger burn out quick, and aftermarket cables last only 3 months. I've had better results using the Samsung wall charger and cable.
OP, it sounds like your wife's N7 is in APX mode. Connect it to your PC via a USB cable, and open Control Panel's devices and printers panel. If it sees an APX device, and you didn't make NVFlash blobs, your only recourse is a motherboard replacement.

I just got my new N7 32gb GSM 2012 in the mail today. Won't turn on at all. I'm not going to bother. Going to return it. Quite disappointed, as I didnt realized this issue (apparently with the battery) was so common. Was looking forward to flashing cyanogenmod. Poop. Might just get a samsung tab now, which I think is quite overpriced for its specs.

If you're seriously looking for something other than an N7 then I'd suggest you look at the LG G-Pad.
I bought one for my Dad at Christmas and was amazed by how good the screen is, and the tablet generally, for the price. The LG skin is minimal and can be changed obviously with another launcher, and the battery life is better than my N7.
My Essential Phone for some reason yesterday thought the battery was at 100% all day long, no matter how much I used it. I plugged it in and it didn't charge. Now this morning the phone is dead and won't wake up. Any help in getting it started?
What have you already tried?
-another cable?
-another charger?
-another wall outlet for the charger?
-does the notification LED light up when it is plugged in?
-have you plugged it into a computer, to see if it gets detected by the computer?
-> if you have done this and it fails, have you tried other cables? other ports?
Some more info would be helpful.
Are you rooted?

As it turned out, the answer was to hold my power button for 10 seconds to force a reboot. Apparently once the phone had shut off it started charging normally. The software is now reporting battery usage as normal after the reboot. However it's still a strange bug.
