I got my new tab yesterday, messed with it a little and charged it fully in the evening. I switched it off before going to bed, just got home this afternoon and the battery has discharged down to 1%. Needless to say it wouldn't start up.
Anyone have any ideas?
Yes, seems to be a common ¨sleep of death¨ issue. Looks like some app or driver causes 100% CPU usage that discharges the battery.
If the device is plugged in, you can find it turned off and really hot until rebooted.
Thanks, if it was switched off though how could it be an app that's running?
I guess it's some system hang issue, it's using CPU and fails to turn on. So it's actually on, but not responding and you have to reboot it. If it's not plugged in, then it just turns off once the battery is drained.
If you have switched it off completely, it's weird that the issue occurred to you, for me it happened only when device was turned on. Maybe there as some problem during shutdown and it didn't turn off the device.

Has anyone ever had an issue where by their battery life is at say 59% and when i plug it in to charge rather than the blue charging icon appearing it just showing the battery being 100% and the LED doing successive double flashing as opposed to a static LED like i should be if it was charging?
I've not installed anything, flashed a new rom etc, was fine yesterday.
All i did was have a little play with CHTEditor.
somethings not right, it must be something to do with me messing about with CHTEditor
out of the blue my lock screen had gone, and it says i have a voice mail waiting when i dont. haha
Hard reset i think
update...
hard reset not worked...uhoh
Same problem here
I was in a phone call an al of a sudden everything just went black and rebooted. Turns out the phone stopped charging and flasing green and red. Battery ran out of power and the phone shut down. After the reboot the phone charged normally again
Another situation:
Phone started acting up again and endend in a reboot. Battery was empty and i made a phone call on the charger. during the phonecall the same problem happend again, but the battery was at 9%. I intended to unplug the charger and plug it back in, but after the unplug the battery jumped to 0% and shut down.
So, i think the battery is acting up. Having to charge the thing every damn day is finally taking it's toll.

yep, using the original battery, it seems to be ok now, charging as it should.
ahh well. cheers for the reply
one last this, how the hell to i get the lock screen back, i think im being dim.
edit
sorted
I have a program BsB Tweaks that has a setting for the lockscreen. Try that.
My phone is also charging fine when turned off, also it functions fine at the moment. i think it has something to do with overloading the device when the battery is low. Based on that its not possible to turn on any phone when the battery is in attached but the power is, i think everything is drained from the battery while charging it and that when overloading the battery just doesn't pull it anymore.
i don't have a alternative battery, mine is original.
What are the symtoms when the battery is at the end of it's life? does it do this, or is it supposed to give a warning or something?
edit: i am unable to find a manual page describing the different modes the LED could be blinking. I'm curious what is says about the red and green blinking mode. Does such a page exist?
Okay, so I have my Continuum rooted, and had been running ADWlauncher, with a theme, which was running fine and dandy. Then sometime day before yesterday my phone began to go haywire. My battery essentially stopped charging, so I dropped ADW, and went back to the default TW, and the issue essentially stopped.
That is, until now. I had my phone plugged into charge, and had about 6% battery life when I did. I was on the browser, just reading a few articles, when my phone decides to power off as if dead (just straight to black, no power-off screen).
Now I have it still plugged into the charger, but can't get it to turn on again. It just goes straight from the charging screen to solid black, and I have to pull the battery. Can anyone help?
Edit: 26 seems to be the magic number, as well. I have it plugged in, and finally turned back on, and am monitoring the battery life. When it first turned on, it had 26%, but has slowly worked it's way down, and is at 24%. I can't figure this out.
maybe its a defected battery? idk
I think that may be a failsafe gone wrong. I know mine won't let me flash anything (pluggedvinvor not) below 26%. and on some phones, the radios are shut down below a certain percentage. Mayberry wiping your battery stats in cwm?

My phone just went dead yesterday, while playing tiny tower. Suddenly turned off, and would not turn back on. When I connect the charger, the led in in the speaker blinks. When the charger is not connected, the phone is completely dead. And it does not respond to anything either way. I don't know if this is rom related. Probably not? I'm thinking returning it to the shop, and hoping for the best is my only option, unless someone here has a better idea.
Update: I tried turning it on, connected to the charger, but without the battery in. It starts. So I guess the battery died? Suddenly and completely?
What happens if you turn it on without battery in and then insert battery?
Mine did a similar odd thing when I first wiped battery stats. Was playing angry birds to drain battery right down and it turned off, but would not start. LED just blinked when power was in. I just had to plug it in and unplug it a bunch of times and it finally started charging.
I did wipe battery stats last week, but have been through a few drain/recharge cycles since then. When I start with the charger connected and insert battery it gets past the boot animation and then shuts off. I tried with a different battery yesterday, and it worked fine. When you say plug it in and unplug, do you mean connecting and disconnecting charger, just repeatedly?
yeah, was just plugging and unplugging a lot and it finally worked. If another battery worked then that would seem to be the fix.
Will try that. Thanks!
Managed to get it to start by putting the battery in after starting with just the charger first. Had to try a bunch of times before it worked. Been charging now for 5 hours, but it never gets past 10% charge on the battery? Do I just let it keep charging or is there some other way to fix it?
That happened to me in the day I bought my phone. It only started with the charger plugged in (and with no battery).
I thought the problem was in the battery, but in the store they tried with a new battery and the phone did not connect. So they replaced and everything is fine (since September).
I got my nexus 4 on Tuesday morning, plugged it in to the charger, waited until it reached 100%, then inserted my sim card, turned it on, upgraded through OTA from 4.2 to 4.2.2 and then set up my usual things. I discharged the battery from 100% to 16%, then I turned it off and plugged to the charger. I turned it on when it was at 95%, and unplugged from the charger because I had to get out of home. This morning it was roughly at 30%, then I turned it off and plugged it to the charger. Later I turned it on, it was at 93%, so I waited until 100% before unplugging. It stood ages at 99%, so I turned it off. A little bit later I tried to turn it on, and when I pushed the power button it showed that the battery was charged, then the image disappeared and the led began blinking in red until I released the power button. I unplugged it, then powered on, and it booted, everything as normal: but the battery was on 94%. I plugged it in and after one minute it was already at 99%. I turned it off, then pressed the power button, but same behaviour: image, then red led blinking. So I plugged the phone to my galaxy nexus charger, waited for a little, and then same behaviour again. So I unplugged it, turned it on, and when I was in the system I saw that the battery was on 100%.
Now the battery is normally discharging while using it, no strange values.
What should I do now? Should I let it discharge until it turns off, or should I never let it discharge until it turns off? And should I charge it with the stock charger or the galaxy nexus charger? I'll be grateful to everyone makes me know what he thinks.
Excuse me for my poor English and for how much I wrote, I would make things clear as possible.

I am sorry for my lazy, I only skim through your post, but I do read the question.
I read somewhere in this 4rum that the Nexus4's battery can be charged at anytime you want.
FOr me, I usually use the phone until 20-30%, then I turn my phone off and charge.
For my brother, he charge without any pattern, and he doesn't turn the phone off when charging.
For my own opinion, you shouldn't use the phone until the batter is empty.
Notice the same thing 3 times with my Nexus. Have searched for a answer to this but no one has a answer I guess or just ignore it. I just power up without it being plug in ..
R: My nexus 4 refuses to turn on while attached to the charger
Now it's at 13%, i'll plug it in the next 10 minutes, then i'll see what will happen this time. Very strange indeed.. I'm only a little bit scared about the "red led death" i read about here and there over the internet.

I never turn mine off. I charge it all night every night when I sleep. Stays on.
Send it back? Rma?
as above i charge my device every night, its never powered off,. is the device hot while charging not like usual warm temp, but very hot that the device detects an issue?
the battery stats are wiped each time its charged, i guess you have some internal failure, battery not being detected after you disconnect from mains or reported as flat, faulty, unreliable source
its best not to fully discharge the battery but maybe you should use it till it powers off then recharge, any charger is fine, but you dont need anything higher than 1amp
i would return it, would suck to have an issue away from home.
Hello everyone,
I read about this problem elsewhere but it didn't help.
Today I was at 40% of battery, phone ringed, I rejected the call, after few minutes picked it up, unlocked, screen started flickering and it died.
It didn't want to turn on. Took the battery out then back in, still didn't power on.
Placed it on charger, it started to charge, showing totally empty. After few minutes it went to 20%.
Took it of the charger, took the battery out to inspect it after reading on internet, it looked fine. Put it back in, turned it on, I was BACK AT 40%!!
Phone is one month old, practically new phone, never dropped it, bent it, nothing.
first of all fully drain the battery to 0% and then change battery to 100% and calibrate it thought this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitula.batterycalibration&hl=en if it is still showing the same problem then it is possible that the battery must be faulty.
Yes it sounds like a faulty battery but its a new phone so I rulled that out
I usually charge the battery only when its less than 10%, usually 3-5% and then top it up to 100%. I never partially charge it. I will try this app next time I drain it
