[Q] Display Issue this morning help

Hey guys (and gals)
So I'm pretty new to android but I'm having a display problem as it it won't show anymore.
When I woke up this morning my little green light was flashing showing I had email, then I clicked the power button to turn on my phone and it was dark. NO display. So I thought my phone froze.
I then removed the battery and replaced it and tried again, held the power button and the green light whent on but still a dark display? Did my phone display die, or is there something else I can try before going to att?
Thanks.

Is the battery empty? Have you tried to charge it with the original charger that came with the phone?

Yep, first thing I tried no go.

sounds like the battery is defective. Get an exchange battery and if that doesn't help exchange the entire phone.

I am glad that you could fix it so easily.

bricked? red flashing led

Just got my nexus 4, and after it was left in cwm for about 10 minutes (while I was making breakfast) it went to a black screen and now just the red led notification led is flashing whenever plugged in, and on my mac in system profiler it shows "composite device", any suggestions?
Thanks!

Is your device hot to the touch?

Don't know if you want to do this, but you can open the phone and disconnect and reconnect the battery connector...

What was your battery level, I know in other devices some times the CPU(s) run at full speed in recovery allowing for quicker flashing this could discharge the battery rapidly. Also a flashing red LED when plugged in normally means the phone is charging but doesn't have enough charge to reliably turn on, leave it plugged in for about 15 minutes and try turning it on again.

Try holding down the VOL + and - keys along with the powerbutton (after turning it off by holding down the power button for an extended time) and see if you can get into fastboot. My friend's Nexus 4 kept bootlooping after he unlocked the bootloader but booted straight to CWM after, not letting it erase userdata first.

I have no problem doing this, the phone seems easy to disassemble, looks alot like a overgrown iPhone 4, 2 screws on the bottom. I just hope its an easy slide, I don;t want to mar it in case I have to exchange it.

I thought this as well, its been plugged in for at least an hour now.
Oh and now I don't even get the red led!
good times..

I've got the exact same issue. Plugged it in last night to charge and this morning it wouldn't turn on. Plugged and unplugged it and the red LED starts flashing. After a minute or so I'm getting the battery charge animation on the screen - so the red LED is power related. Now to see if it actually charges up and boots.

Hi nycbjr. I have seen a similar issue posted here, but I can't find the thread at the moment, try searching. If I remember correctly then he got it working by holding power, volume keys and then plugging in the charger.

[Q] Device not turning on

Please help, when i was flashing awesome beats, at the end of flashing my device's temperature is very high and then it turned off by itself. After that, my device wont turn on when i pressed the power button although my battery shows 50%+ before flashing.
I tried to plug the charge and the white battery charging indicators appeared but then the device went off again after a while. It happens repetitively, white battery charging shows up, and then turned off. When i tried to turn on the device while plugged into charger, a google logo appeared and then turned off. I can access the bootloader when pressing the vol down button while it's charging. Please help me, what's happening with my device? is it because the battery is fully depleted or maybe another issue? Thank you
Sorry for my bad language.

i've tried to flash the factory image but the problem still there. it wont turn on with charger unplugged, when it plugged, white battery charging indicator shows up, and then turned off with red led blink, after a while it turned on again with white battery charging indicator and again it turned off with red led blink, this happened repetitively. If i put my device in charge for a while, the red led wont blink again when it turned off after the white battery charging indicator, but it still wont boot..

Let it charge for couple hours before doing anything to it. How are you flashing the factory image? I recommend using one of the toolkit to guide you through.

Sometimes old school works.
Pull the battery and put it back in after 15 seconds

I don't have the tools to open it.
Thanks for all of your advices, i think i've already fix my phone since it can boot again and i successfully restore my nandroid backup. I did charge my device using 3rd party charger with 2.0A for a couple minutes and then unplug it and charge using my original charger. and guess what.. it works hhe. Thank you all :good:

Glad its alive again. Next time make sure to feed it well. Don't let the battery die to 0%. Recharge it once u reach 5% to 10%.

Thanks btw. the weird thing is, when i turned on the device, the battery is the same as just before it turned off. I think the battery is not depleted to 0%, maybe the device is malfunctioning or something.

hmm that is weird. Did you try wiping battery stats? If not, give it a try.

Sounds like a hardware issue almost.
I would maybe try connecting the phone via USB to pc. Pull battery and and replace. Then try booting into download mode. Open Odin and check if the device is recognized.

doesnt sound like a brick... truth being, its almost rare " hard bricking " samsung galaxys.. soft bricking is very common.. i bricked a HTC EVO a few years ago... symptoms: press power.. blue light blinks and the shuts off.... pop out batt, plug in, usb to pc....all do nothing....
sounds like somehow there is a batt problem.... TAKE OUT BATT... LAY it on a super flat serface.. now try and spin it!!! or does it rock around like its uneven?... means the batt is swollen in the middle and is no good... that maybe ur prob.

thanks.
battery spins like a turntable.
both my batteries spin like a stripper actually.....
i have used 3 different computers, countless usb cables and ports.
i used my friends battery to make sure it wasnt my batteries, phone still doing the same thing.
its so odd.
it was working perfectly fine.
now when i put the battery in, it automatically turns on, but only for a split second.
then it turns off.
i know its not suppose to turn on automatically, but i cant even get it into download mode because it shuts off within seconds.
im at a loss

Well.. if you have insurance, call them and tell them the device just stopped working... they will fedex you another overnight.. all for a 100.00 deductable....thats a way out.

I have seen similar stories from people that had defective power buttons. what if you hold the vol down button when you insert the battery, does it behave differently?
