Yes my phone shut down on its own. Rebooted it launched car mode right away I went and shut it off and then BLANK.
And now if i can even get it to power on it does for less thn a second before going dark.
I tried both my extended and stock battery. Phone be dead.
Next question can I take it into a sprint store and have it replaced under a defect or am i shelling out cash?

With the battery inserted and the phone off, plug it into the wall outlet. Does the orange/green light turn on?
Try unplugging the charger and remove the battery. Then press and hold the power button (to flush any left over charge).
Insert the battery and power it up. Let us know the results.
Also, did you do anything to your phone? (i.e. SetCPU? Flash a .zip file)
Good luck dude.
I have done all of that.
ALSO NO LIGHT COMES ON WHEN PLUGGED IN with any of my batteries. (STOCK and a 3500mAh battery)
I have put on set cpu using the profile ONDEMAND
I did not flash anything. It was on sitting there next to me and it just shut off. I was not doing anything at the time. When I turned it back on it was in car mode like it sensed the dock. I was like okay well bugs happen. So i swipe down turn it off. And then the car mode indicator stayed on and i was thinking well wtf. Then my screen went black. I then pushed the power button and i swiped to enter into the home screen which was black then a few seconds latter it gave me the loading screen like it was loading sense then *DEAD* ...

Not the cable I have 6 micro cables in the house. Two for other devices some for my dads and step moms phones and the two for my Bluetooth and kindle.

Sounds like the phone is pretty much toast then. There shouldn't be any harm in taking the phone in and seeing if a warranty exchange will be done. At worst they'll tell you that you gotta pay up, and at best they'll either be able to fix it or offer a replacement free of charge.
If you gotta pay up then you do always have the choice of refusing, in which case you're left in exactly the same situation you are now; a broken phone and no money out of your pocket. I say take it in, see what happens. No guarantees either way but surely it's gotta be worth a shot.
I got a sprint store that does not do repairs but its a corporate sized store.
Then inn victorville I have a store that is a 3rd party store but offers all services except 4g... They are on the same road. So tomorrow I am hitting the sprint one first to see what the deal is.
Anyways I think i might get warranty due to it just failing all of a sudden.
Also do i have to give them my memory card back?

You never give the SD card back. It's been a while since I've gotten a replacement phone, but I'm fairly sure you get to keep the charger cable and a/c adapter as well.
That is how it should work.
Have them boost your battery on their cadex machine anyway.
I've seen people come in with supposedly fried phones that wouldn't light up for anything. Quick cadex boost and they're out the door with a working phone again.

Hopefully you didn't have your phone overclocked and caused it to go haywire. What kind of Kernel did you use? Was it SBC or non-SBC?
Well my EVO came back alive... Idk why but it just did.. I don't understand why it would re act like this.
But I do not over clock. I use on demand and smart ass for battery. I dont over clock but i under clock to 128 for min. I use the freedom aggressive v8 . I have not had a problem with undervolting ever before..

check the pins on your usb connector for items than can short (foil gum wrappers etc). That could have been what kicked it into car mode too.
Glad that it came back dude

I am not sure. i switched to the newer 8.5 kernel and started using my stock battery. So I am not sure what fixed it but it eventually came back to life...

I was running MIUI 1.7.1 (I think), my phone died and I wasn't home. When I got home a couple of hours later, I plugged my phone into the chargerr, plugged into my computer, and nothing. Nothing pops up, no sounds, just black screen. Anything I could do? I don't think I can send it back because my phone was rooted.
Depends on your ethics. If you can't get it to turn on then chances are neither will they. They'll just flash a fresh OS and send it with the other refurbs, so you'd probably get away with calling tmobile and telling them you were updating via kies and your phone never came back on. Otherwise search jtag and find connexion
try a different battery
U can send it back even do its rooted most like there gonna factory restore
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
This actually happened to me, but it was really the Kies Update to 2.2 that screwed my phone over. I sent it in and it came back in about a week and a half. Samsung just checked for water damage and ripped the motherboard out and replaced it. You get the same phone, with the same scratches and everything. The only upside is that they refurbish the inside of it (ie the GPS).
have u tried getting into download mode so u can odin to stock , take out the battery for a few seconds put it back in hold the volume buttons then plug ur phone in, if that works ur good to go
i think his battery is toast.
Samsung will take the phone under warranty even if a custom rom is flashed. I have sent 2 back for warranty repairs with custom roms, and both times the phones were fixed. Only downside is it takes 1-2 weeks.
Something similar happens to me. When my battery gets too hot it won't charge no matter what. Even if it's about to die. After it cools down it can charge again.

thats because it changes when it reaches 120 degrees your cpu will automatically lower if u use set cpu and ur phone will quit charging
Yup. Left phone on charger overnight - woke up and the camera was flashing every 2 seconds. That's all it will do. Whether it's hooked up, unhooked. As long as the battery's in that's what it does. No rom changes in over 2 weeks. No damage of any sort.... no recovery or anything
Well you can probably do a warranty exchange.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
I had something similar with my nexus one. Except it wasnt the camera but the trackball... changing kernels around seem to help a bit but eventually i took it for water damage. Take the battery out and let it dry off for a day or two. You can also try to pry it open and have your hand at any corrosion if you find any. However i wouldnt recommend that unless you know what yer doing.

I realize that but like i said i had the same experience and my phone didnt get noticably wet at any time could have been a single drop of water and corrosion takes a while to build up.
Still...
Im wondering if you used your original charger when this happend because i can personally say ive seen my atrix behaving strange when connected to some cheap random charger (touch screen not working for example). Didnt believe it could cause permenant damage though.

It was hooked up with a Blackberry charger, actually.
Still acts the same.
Check the charger to see if its power ratings are different than your otiginal one.
Also... does the device boot up in any way or is the screen simply black and the flash flickering no matter what?

Looking at it today, I noticed that the charger port (or inlet if you will) is very structurally loose. The voltage on the blackberry charger is about 3/5 that of the stock Atrix charger, if memory serves me - somebody at work switched out the chargers the day after I got the phone. It took a good 6 hours to charge...
ATT said that it would be full cost of phone, because it's personal damage.
I'm looking into the Mi-One.
EDIT: No, the screen will not even begin to come on. Camera flashing is the only indicator of any power. Used an external battery charger, and two different batteries.
The MI-One looks sweet!!!!

Moto will probably either fix it or send you another phone. I know people who bricked from trying to downgrade and they got another phone. I'm sure you could too. I would try that before you buy another phone.
ETA: Now that I think about it not being able to put the rom back to stock would probably be an issue if they can get it to turn on but if they can't they might replace it.

I also think you should bring it up with motorola. Waking up to find your phone bricked is hardly what id call personal damage. You also shouldn't bring up the charger issue. And as for the usb port i'd say it would take too much effort to discern the connection with that and the phone acting as it is, and im sure they would rather just send a replacement unit.
A usb port malfunctioning is hardly an account for personal damage. The usual case is they simply stop working, but definitely not brick your entire phone.

Well sadly my beloved HD2 decided not to turn on yesterday and Im hoping someone has the answer to fixing it.
I have an ICS android rom installed onto it with CWM Recovery so I should be able to charge while the phone is not on but I am not getting a charging light at all, I have tried multiple usb leads and even a out of phone battery charger which says the battery is fully charged but when I turn it on all I get is a slight vibrate and then nothing. I have also tried bending the pins to make sure they are connecting with the battery.
Any Ideas? Thanks

i suspect you are confusing CWM and cLK. cLK can charge when off, magldr can't. Its nothing to do with CWM.
Assuming you have magldr, and don't have an external charger / spare hd2 / spare battery to test with, if you have a spare usb cable (mini, micro, doesn't matter, any old usb lead) cut end off, (mini end, lol) bare red and black and hold them against + and - on the battery for a minute or so. Fingers are fine, you wont get a shock. Don't touch the center plate on the battery, just the + and - outer pads.
If that doesn't work then its not the battery.
Yes sorry I did mean cLK, I have already used an external charger with the battery and I should be getting a spare tomorrow just to double check it is not the battery and I guess this method is just to charge the battery?
If it is not the battery do you have any idea what else it could be? again the only sign of life in the phone is the small vibration I get if I take out the battery and put it back in and press the on button.
Well I just got the spare battery but nothing new still get the tiny vibrate and the phone does not turn on
Possibility that the lcd went out on you... worst case scenarios is you having to buy a new used phone and selling your current one as parts not work. Hopefully by selling your broken phone... you will get some money to cover for the new used phone

Yes its possible.... I had it happened to my hd2... but to make sure I searched and found that it is possible that the LCD went bad and still you can see that it power on. .. but because you cant see where your phone loads up. .. it could be bootlooping. .. but if it power up all the way. .. called it. .. see if it rings

This may or may now help anyone.
I was using my phone and it just **** off on me. I wasn't flashing a rom or "tinkering" with it. I am rooted but was stock. No kernel. Connecting wall charger or connected to PC would just result in blinking red light.
I removed back cover (be careful doing this) and disconnected battery from mother board. Connected it back up and BAM...all is well. No loss of data...turned back on on the state I had left it.
Maybe this will help someone....

I don't believe it's the stock charger
I tried 5 different wall chargers (including stock charger). Three different USB cables on three different PC's. No change in results. Red blinking LED remained. I tried all combination of powering it on...Red blinking LED remained. I literally tired everything for 4hrs straight without any results.
Removing the back, disconnecting battery and reconnecting did the trick. It has been working perfectly for 6hrs now. Charges fine, no issues.

Very easy. Took about 3 minutes. I also had access to cell phone tools...basically a plastic separator tool (wont scratch or brake anything). You could also use a guitar pick or a plastic silverware knife.
I just received a Nexus and it is doing this exact thing.
I plug it in with my Samsung Tablet charger (2.0a so plenty of power) and get a SOLID red LED. After about 5 minutes, the Red LED turns off. If I try to power it on (power, vol down and power, all 3 buttons) with AC attached the Red LED just comes back on solid. Unplugged, nothing happens - no matter how long I hold down the buttons. Nothing is working!
Did I get stiffed with a crap device?

Did anyone tried to not panic and just put the phone for a couple of hours into charger?
if the battery is completly discharged, connecting it to charger for 10 mins will not make the device run, trust me it works the same on Nexus 7.
Put the device to charger for at least half of day (6h) and then check if the problem still appear, if yes then RMA the device (openning it up may break the warranty).

This isn't the problem in a lot of the cases. I've had it happen to me now 10+ times. Sometimes the battery is almost full-charge. I can't RMA the device because I bought it at home (Wisconsin) and now I'm living in Germany.
For anybody wondering, you can buy a nexus from somebody else (as in the e-bay case) and transfer the warranty to your name.

This a "lot" of cases, are simply people who panicked and cant think straight (this is most common issue at Xda developers, especially when rooting phone ). The long charging test is the first thing you should check, if this will not help then its battery fault and need to be RMA'ead. But in most cases i'v readed , it was simply that battery was discharged fully, and phone needed time to charge it back to run device...
You still can RMA your device, it will just cost u more to send/recieve it from Google/LG.
And yes, if you bought a N4 purchased at google play and sold to you, the device ID must be transfered to new owner (old owner can simply send an email to google play). In case it will not be transfered and you will try to RMA te device, the original buyer will get it , not you.

I've been having a few issues with my Nexus 4 on 5.1.1.
Twice in the past month I've had random Force closures of all aps. Facebook was the worst. But then it goes on to all other apps including the launcher.
First time that happened I did a factory reset and things went well. Yesterday it happened again while it was on another charger and I can get my phone to boot.
The screen backlight looks like is on when it's plugged into the charger and will go out if I hold the power button down for 5 to 10 seconds.
If I hold the power button down for 10 seconds when the charger is connected the LED flashes red till I take my finger of the Power button.
I've let it charge overnight (12 hours) and I've tried holding both volume buttons with the power button.
As well as Volume up and Volume down separately with the power button.
Is the phone dead? anyone got any ideas on how to bring it back to life
I've got a screwdriver set on order as I don't have fine enough star screwdriver to remove the internal battery connection. Which is my next step..
I think you are right to try replacing your old battery. Be careful while scraping it out where it is glued in not to tear it up too bad because it can 'splode. Might want to use a plastic card for that. I used a metal shim, an iOpener, and am much better now...

I'm going to try just unplugging the battery from the board first before I attempt to replace it.
Think it's time for an upgrade anyway.
Got my eye on the "OnePlus-X" as my next phone.
Removed the battery and stuck my multimeter into it.
It's got V output of 3.61 volts but amps drop off a cliff to zero as soon as I touch the contacts.

And it's getting sent back today!!
Got it through Amazon and when the battery arrived it looked ok but would not charge. I took it out to check the contacts and the ribbon came away form the battery! Looks like it was not soldered to the battery properly (if it ever was!) Just glad it didn't cause a short and kill the phone or myself.
Getting one from a different supplier tomorrow. Hopefully this one will work!

Please let me know! I've ordered a third battery just now. The first one was an aftermarket one, the second one was apparently a knock-off, this one was smaller than the original one.
The third one is hopefully a genuine LG one since the reseller is listed on LG their site.
Dam!!
Replacement battery arrived today. Looks good.
Installed it and the same thing is happening!
Screen backlight goes on. does not seem to be charging!
Now thinking the motherboard is buggered!
But I'll keep the phone on charge overnight just in case...
Damn that sucks to hear man. Hope it works tomorrow!
Now just searching freebe sites and eBay for any damaged cracked nexus4's I could scavenge from
