OK so I have a wierd problem with my nexus. When I turn it off it won't turn back on doesn't matter if there's a USB or not. After a few hours sometimes it works sometimes it still doesn't. This is a huge problem and it stops me from getting into the boot loader. Should I just go to the store and get a new one or is there a fix?

I kinda have the same problem too, sometimes it takes a while to power on. All i do is hold the power button until the google logo shows up. Try that.

Has anyone else had this problem with the stock phone? Mine will power down but ten seconds later will boot up on its own

No, might be a faulty power button.
Fastboot is turned on. If you press the power button (just a press, not even a hold), then the phone will boot up. happened a lot when the phone was in my pocket.
Nope. I would pull battery out, put it back in, not even get the cover back on and it would boot up on it's own

I got my Nexus 7 about a week ago and have been loving it. However, I woke up this morning to turn the screen on and it is not turning on at all. The screen stays black, even though I had it plugged in all night. When I connect it to my computer it makes a sound which leads me to believe that the tablet works, but the screen has unexpectedly died on me. Are there any tricks or tips you could give me on how to possibly get it to work, and if not where do I go to get it fixed (Ordered from Gamestop.com with store credit, 16 GB model).
Have you tried holding the power button on it for around/over 30 seconds to force it to power off and back on? I had the same problem with mine, and doing that fixed it.
I had the problem. Hard reboot sorts it

Thank you both! I was freaking out.
I have not got my phone yet should be here in a day or two but I have been rooting and flashing for a while and when things crash I have to pull battery out. What do you do on nexus 4? You if holding power down doesn't work.

You're screwed then as holding the power button down for ten seconds is the only way to force shut it down.
It's slightly different than my N7 where you hold that power button to reboot, this one just shuts it down and I have to release and press again to start it back up.

It's just just like doing a hard shutdown on a computer.

I was using my nexus 7 today and it randomly shuts off on me. It started doing this thing on the screen like a tv would if the picture was really bad with lines going across and it's a pitch black screen. It does this for a minute or two then reboots and does it all over
Any ideas?

Im about to upload a video. I can't get into the bootloader and ADB on my computer isnt even recognizing it even though the drivers are installed.
and here is the vid. I know it's boring but it'll give you an idea of WTF is going on
Seemed to have figured it out. Had to power off when I finally got into bootloader and let charge. Dunno why it was doing this with only 17 percent battery. I've let it run lower before.

So I've gone and done something incredibly dumb. I am running AOSPA 4.3 Paranoid Android 3.99, and I love the Halo capabilities. But I didn't realize that there is a limit to Halo, which I discovered when I opened an SMS through Halo and then tried to open the camera through the SMS app all while running a game.
My device is frozen, and I don't know what to do. Is this considered a soft brick?
The command window prompts aren't working because the device isn't being registered by the computer, even though when I go into Devices and Printers, an LG device is there.
How can I force shutdown this thing? OR even get it to recovery? Are either of these possible, or do I need to wait it out until the battery goes kaputz?
Thanks!
Hold down power button till it powers down. Does this not work in your situation.

Thanks for the suggestion! Wow, I guess I wasn't holding down the power key long enough? Now I really seem like a noob, which I am. It took some 10 seconds before the screen completely turned off. (Before, the screen had dimmed down but was not off).
Thank you so much!
No problem. Glad it was something simple. Not bricked.
