Device automatically turn ON. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I bought a Nexus 7 32GB last weekend and I think that it might be defective. When I turn OFF the device and than plug it in the wall, the device automatically turn ON on its own (every time). If I plug the cable and than turn OFF the device, I can see the battery sign. After a few second, the screen turns OFF but when I turn back ON the device, it didn't charge at all.
Is there something wrong with it? Is it fixable? Should I return it and get a new one?
When the device is ON, I can plug it and it will charge normally.

Phone issues charging and powering on

Ok so, last night my phone was dying. I didn't charge it until about 5 PM today. However when I plugged it in, it wasn't picking up charge. I took off the battery and it looked like there was water under it, not a lot (no I haven't gotten my phone wet... or near water at all) so I wiped it off and plugged in a spare battery that I have. When I plugged that in, the camera flash turned on briefly and the phone began to blink orange. I left it plugged in for about 20 minutes then I tried turning it back on and nothing. Now when I unplugged it again I tried doing other thigns like turning it on without a battery while it's plugged in, doing it through usb (which when I plug it in through usb the PC makes that USB sound) and for a brief second I tried turning it on, and it DID show the "MyTouch 4G" logo, then it shut off. It hasn't been picking up charge right and I can't get it to turn on... What can I do? I got this off of craiglist and it was working fine for almost a month, so there's no warranty. Any suggestions?
Also, whenever I put in the "good" battery, the phone vibrates and the flash turns on. What do you guys think could be done??
And when I plug it in through USB it looks like it's "charging" (as in the light at the top is orange) and the buttosn turn on if I mess with them, but no image on the screen. Frustrating.

Why won't my phone stay off??

I have the Bell version of this phone. I received it last week and I love it so far. The biggest issue that I have with this phone is that it will not stay off.
If I turn the phone off by holding the power button, it shows that it is turning off. 20 seconds later, the LG splash screen shows up and the phone powers back on by itself.
If I run it until the battery dies, I connect it to the charger, and a few seconds later I see the battery indicator. Without fail, within 40 seconds the phone powers back up on its own.
I have done a hard reset, and reinstalled everything and it doesn't help. Is this a quirk of this phone? Is there a fix that anyone knows of? I would really like the phone to remain off when I turn it off.
Sorry to hear you have this problem. I have not experience this problem with my phone.
Mine won't stay off if the power cord is plugged in.
So it can't charge while powered off (this is something I used to do to "re-calibrate" the battery on my Kaiser since WM6.x used to get in the way of the charging).
It could be that your USB port is damaged somehow to make the phone think that the power is plugged in?
That's about all I could think of... I find this behavior really aggravating.

Stock phone won't turn on

So a few minutes ago my G2 was charging at around 35% when it just shut off. It wont turn on and when I plug in my charger, the light won't show. When i plug it into my computer, it can detect something because it looks for drivers. I can't really find any other cases of this so I'm lost. Suggestions anyone?

[Q] N7 only detects power when diplay is on???

Hello! I am running cyanogenmod and Timur Rom on 2012 N7. I have tasker to detect power on and power off but here's my trouble..
The N7 will only detect power when the display is on!?!?!?!
If the display is turned off or times out or is locked and I give it power, the display doesnt turn back on automatically. I turn it on manually with the lock button on the side and the battery shows no charge coming through.
With the display still on, i unplug and plug the power back in and it works fine!
I tested it on the PC. PC detects the N7 fine and sees the HDD. Even with the display off, the PC will detect the N7 and I can explore folders but the N7 still receives no power until I manually turn the screen on and unplug and plug the charger back in!
This is preventing me from doing the car dash install because I cannot depend on the N7 to turn on display automatically because it does not detect power with screen off. Only with screen on!
I have went through all settings a million times, tried every 101 troubleshooting step, and I cannot figure it out.
Please, please, please help me figure this out. It's driving me crazy! :cyclops:

S7 Edge - Only charges VERY slow in download mode (not recognising USB)

Hi all, and merry Christmas to everyone.
My S7 edge has started to cause problems with charging up, for some reason when phone is turned on, it will not recognise the USB cable. - I have tried a different cable and plug and it still does not work.
When my phone is turned off, each time I plug in the cable I get a battery with a white lightning symbol and then it just goes off nothing shows as charging . So I suspecting the USB port is OK?
I have erased Delvik cache and erased data this does not change anything.
I do however get VERY VERY slow charging when I leave my phone is download mode.
Anybody got any ideas on what to try before I end up getting back in touch with vodaphone?
Thanks all.
UPDATE :
My phone is now completely dead on 0% battery. When I try to turn on the phone nothing happens as expected with 0% battery.
If I then plug in my charger, I get the lightning symbol for 3 seconds and then it goes off. It gives it some kind of a "charge" and I can turn on my phone.
Once it boots back up, their is no indication to say my phone is on charge and the 0% stays their with a red explanation mark and then my phone turns off. back to the stage I cannot turn it on unless I replug the charger cable and then it goes back in the loop.
sounds like the battery has failed.
check your usb plug if theres any missing pins.
Have you tried using a different charger or charging from a PC USB port ?
Looks to me as if it's your charger or your battery which is faulty.
Yes, I have tried a different Plug and lead we have several in the house. too many samsungs haha.
Sounds to me the battery is faulty as well :/ . Im curious as i thought if the phone is plugged in maybe it should stay on and if i then unplug the phone it would turn off instantly?
I contacted vodaphone , i need to pop into their shop on Monday (i think their open) . they have their own repair center in store which sounds good so no need to send phone off for a repair and they give your a courtesy phone to use as well. If they cannot repair it i should be entitled to a replacement.
Worst thing about these phones when you cannot take battery out :/
Thanks Guys . Hope you all have a nice Christmas Day and get what you all ask for !
on 2nd thoughts,
Although this sounds like a battery issue, of course my phone is totally dead wont turn on. but when i plug in my phone to either, the wall or PC. it will turn on and then back off as if the battery has just died.
If i plug the phone into my PC in DOWNLOAD mode, the phone will stay on but my computer doesn't even respond as if nothing is plugged in. This tells me the problem may be more than just battery?
Just a thought.
