Hello everybody,
first I have to say that I´m from germany and I´m sorry for bad english .
But no my problem:
Yesterday I tried out my new Nexus 7, everything worked fine, no problems...
Than I had the bad idea, too restart my device.
So I turned it of, trying to restart it -and yes you´re right- it doesn`t turn on again.
First I checked out the internet for information and I found out I´m not the only one.
I also found out that I don´t have the same problems as the most, cause I tried to start the device with pressing on 40 seconds or on+volume down....and all these tricks.
The next step I was trying, was too open the nexus backcover and disconnect the accu but the result was the same :
The Nexus doesn´t start!
But the funniest thing is that my PC regionise the Nexus and I can read/write on the internal storage.
So what do you mean ?
I dont want too send it back(cause it´s a bit of complicated - I had bought it in Ebay.de from somebody out of austria ) ...
Thanks for your help. I hope my Text isn´t too bad at all.
Best regards
Phil
It sounds like your screen has failed. The PC would not see your internal storage if it were not on. Maybe you could use one of the toolkits to try and restore a factory image in case it is operating system related.

Thank you for the quick response .
Do you think I can fix the screen by myself? Maybe it´s an connection problem and not the screen itself ? The Nexus 7 Toolkit I tried out a little bit, but its not easy to do anything with it, because at some tasks I have to do some input by the Nexus and I can`t see anything.
Another thing is why did the display failed by turning on again and not when it´s on ?
I hope I can fix it today :crying: I just dont want to stare at it, instead of playing with it.

Hold the power button for a full 30-35 seconds. Make sure it's plugged in, just in case the battery may have drained to much.
Should restart.
Nexus is running. I cant believe. )))
Thanks for the tip tootbrain, but I tried this out over and over again without any result.
Then I want To show my father the problem. I pressed the button just to demonstrate, but then it works.
Another thing was, first the screen had very low brightness (cant set it up with the brightness settings ) and after one hour suddenly it had became bright. And i didnt do anything.

maybe when you disconnected and reconnected the screen you may have fixed a previously broken connection, or even given it a little power jolt that got it working again? from your description of brightness staying low then slowly goin up to normal use....maybe you just breathed some life into it.:good:

Hi all,
as my signature says... yes, I sent my X1 to repair (cracks, as always). When I got it back, it seems to be perfect. Outside. Switched it on and it seemed ok.
As soon as I came back home, I noticed that the lower part of the screen "vibrates" (I can not define it in a better way... I suppose the right verb is "to flick"). At sunlight I did not noticed it, but at home and in the dark it is really really visible (and annoying, on a 600€ brand new phone).
Does someone ever had the same issue? or does someone know how to solve it (apart from sending it again to repair).
Thanks!
P.S.: searched the thread and foud nothing. Searched in google and just came up with a "refresh" problem, that does not apply to our X1... or can we change the refresh rate?!
I did once experience what I believe was the same issue, the flickering screen. The problem was still there after a soft reset and power cycle, but then after leaving the phone for a few minutes it turned back to normal.
Unfortunately I don't think I be of much help here as I don't recall doing anything special to get the screen back to normal.

Hi everybody! so there is serious problem with my NST...
My nook doesn't boot - I get only screen with floating points(it can longs for hours)...
I haven't root my device, only installed last update(it worked great for a month after this)
So the story how I get this:
I put my nook in my backpack(nook was in sleeping mode) and take it with me... it was in my backpack whole day and in the evening when i took it i saw floating points...
Already tried to restore factory image, procedure goes well but it doesn't help...
So any ideas what i have to do next?
Thank's everbody for answers!
P.S. Sorry for my poor English
Are the points moving (I assume because you say floating)? Sounds like a screen problem but without ADB can't say for sure, because that way could take screenshot and see what is going on in the software.

yeah, points are moving, and from time to time screen is refreshing... don't know how to take screenshots, device is not rooted so ADB is not awailable, shoud i root it?
Thank's everybody for reading this topic, I already have solved my problem...
I simply erase settings and user data by pressing lower scrolling buttons and power button, when device was turned all... now everything fine
CAn you take a picture of it?
3-finger-press and hold: n, power, and one or two of the front buttons. This made mine reboot and got me out of a similar situation.
Good luck. A reboot will allow you to boot from SD.
ok 1st of all thanks for your time... I have a rooted Mytocuh 4G running on stock rom from tmobile (2.2.1)... problem is that brightness is not working at all, i try to change it in settings, but it does not work, I've also tried factory reset, changing roms, wiping data, cache, dalvik, battery stats, almost everything but still no clue of whats wrong, lcd is working great, touch responds good, only problem is brigthness, if theres a fix out there i'd be glad to hear it from u... thnx :good:

It sounds like hardware. If it were me I'd flash the froyo PD15IMG and see if anything magically starts working. If not, then I'd have my answer.

Ok, so i just flashed back to froyo PD15IMG and the touchscreen works now, but the brightness is still not working, ive also noticed that every time i press the screen, it kinda fades a little... very weird... as u said before i think it may be a hardware problem..... any ideas of which part????
I believe that backlight is part of the display.

ok, so today i found more problems, rotate sensors are not working, compass is dead, and also the phone does not recognize any headset i plug in, i cant even listen to my music.... i remember that a week ago, i plugged my phone to a wall outlt with an iphone usb charger, do u think that has something to do with it???
thanks
Doubtful. Was it an Apple charger or a Brand X (off-brand)?
I seriously doubt that would cause a systematic failure of your hardware. If anything it would fry the usb/charging port, were there something seriously wrong with the charger.
Sounds like you've got a paperweight on your hands.

I have same problem with my phone.
The phone first had a problem when I left it in the sun for abt half an hour.
The brightness setting has no effect.
Auto rotate screen does not work, however touch screen works fine.
The phone hangs up now and then.
only the backlight does not work and i can easily use the phone inside a room
the compass does not work
tried factory resetting the phone no success
The charge light does not come on even when the phone is charging. however when i turn my phone off and charge it, the charge light comes on.
usually during startup or booting the device, the brightness is supposed to be full. however no brightness during boot up

Only fix i found so far for this problem was replacing the power flex plus the main flex of the phone.. that solved my problem...

sorry bro but its good bye for your phone...!
I am having a similar issue with a friends phone. He had a cracked screen so i replaced that. 2 weeks later he brought it back to me and the brightness is stuck on the lowest level. Changing the level in options has no effect. I was just wondering is the backlight and the LCD screen one and the same? Should i bother changing the LCD or is there something else I should try repairing first. Everything else on the phone seems to function properly...its just a pain to see it!
Hey
I had my Nexus 4 for a while now and today suddenly I have a problem with my touchscreen. It suddenly happend, it didn't fall or nothing.
So, the problem: there is a part of the screen that doesn't function properly. It's at a certain y value or height. It noticed this today when I wanted to swipe down the notification bar. Half the time it flips back up or doesn't do anything at all, sometimes it does work. If I swipe "fast" before that height, it usually works.
I downloaded an app to test the touchscreen and at that height it registers 2 or more fingers or it snaps above or under that line.
Can I fix this or do I need to bring it back for warranty? Is this a software or hardware issue? I also did a reset, but that didn't help...
I uploaded some videos to illustrate (can't post links so insert this in the youtube links please):
1. The problem: /watch?v=kNLbSU0smcw
2. Test: /watch?v=B8ERuBtYeBA
Edit: When I hold the phone horizontally, the notification bar works perfectly.
Many thanks,
Aaron
Update: from yesterday until now the screen was even worse, like I was touching it with 100 fingers, it went totally crazy...
A few hours later it works perfectly normal again
Any ideas?
Ok, I still have this problem...
However, the problem is present and I switch a few time to the lockscreen and back, it's fixed most the time. So I think this must be a software issue.
Maybe undoing a few updates might help? What's the best way to do that?
Are you on a Custom ROM / Kernel? If so, go back to stock ROM and Kernel and see if the problem still exists.
No, never used other roms, kernels or rooted..

I have the exact same issue.. Did you manage to solve it?
Nope, but sometimes I can use it like a week with no problem and sometimes I have it everyday.
At first I thought it might be because of the low temperature in my bedroom, but I tested it and I don't think that's the reason. I removed the cover I bought too, but I need to use it a bit longer to be sure it doesn't happen without cover. After that I'll put on the cover again and check again.
Is it possible that it happens when it is charging? Mine does this when it is charging.
No, as far as I know it's not affected by charging. The first time I had this problem I just picked it up from my desk..
I had touch screen issues as well, less than one month after getting the phone.
Occasionally, after pressing the power button to power up the display, the touch screen would not be responsive. I need to turn off/turn on the display again for it to work. It finally conked out one day when the entire part used for soft keys doesn't work anymore. Just an instant before this happened the touch screen started acting crazy for a few seconds.
Had the touch screen and LCD replaced under warranty.
The problem now is there's a bright white blob in the upper right corner of the LCD, and the proximity sensor sometimes doesn't work, resulting in no display when making or receiving a call.

I have the same problem. I am using an other USB adapter for loading. And while the N4 is charging the screen responds like crazy. It often detects two fingers instead of one... And using the keyboard is impossible... If I use the original USB adapter it works with no problems...

Yeah, turning the display on/off a few times (so lock/unlock) helps sometimes. The warranty is a bit of a problem here, I bought it in Germany (MediaMarkt), but I live in Belgium. I tried registering at the LG site (Belgian version), but no option to select a Nexus 4 there for support... I did a live chat at the LG site, explained my problem and the helpdesk guy just left the chat I tried to contact them using Twitter, but they never replied. I asked MediaMarkt and they said I'd have to bring it in the a German MediaMarkt... It's a long way to Germany, so I'd rather not do that unless I can't solve it and they reject the warranty in Belgium (although they are obliged to).
I'm also worried that I'd get an even worse phone, like the problems you have with your new phone :s

Ok..I have a RaZr and this happened to me too. One fine day. Playing a game. In the middle of nowhere. I was scared. S*it scared. So what did i do?
I just did a soft reboot. Pressing the right combination of keys and the phone reboots.
Also, here is a very long drawn attempt, but can u try doing a wipe data/dalvik/cache?
Go into stock recovery and do the rest.
It may help, it may not help.
WARNING: YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA while doing this.
And oh: I am sorry but I think this is a hardware issue. I may be wrong.
I had the same issue with my EVO LTE. It would go away and come back just like yours. It wasn't a software problem , so I sent it in under warranty and they're fixing it free of charge.

I bought a cheap usb charger facing the same problem with touchscreen on my iphone 4 and also with nexus 4. I threw it away and I'm using the original, but if you want to replace it pay attention to the cheap one
Sorry for my bad english, I'm italian, greetings from Italy
You have to have a custom recovery to wipe cache. Just reboot into it and select wipe cache

Hey guys,
First of all, I searched for my problem but couldn't find a solution anywhere. This is the most unusual kind of "bootlogo stuck". My phone shows the bootlogo for several seconds, then turns off. I go to the recovery mode (CWM), it appears ("reboot system now", "...", all that), but then again the bootlogo appears and after several seconds the phone turns off. I go to the download mode, it appears, but then again, I see the bootlogo and my phone turns off. So obviously flashing the stock rom turned out to be a failure in this case. I first thought that maybe I needed to recharge my phone. But when I plugged the charger, there was no display of the battery icon. I left it like that, hoping it was charging, but the same problem occurred after a while when I checked. Oh, and one more thing, whenever, I took out the battery and put it back again, the bootlogo showed up (even when I hadn't touched the power or any button!).
It's been several months since I detached myself from Android development. The last ROM that I flashed was Hyperion 8 four months ago, I don't exactly remember the kernel that came with it.
If power button seems to b the issue, you can fix it by *slightly* striking its side against a hard surface(may b table or wall). You might not believe but this method is 99% working.
But do this only when u r left with no choice. Don't get me wrong

i also had this issue... you can't catch up with recovery console or download mode because the phone automatically turns off..
Reason: The power switch is shorted... But sometimes the rubber between the power button and the switch in the circuit is jammed... i fixed it myself... replaced the microswitch myself.....
Same problem
HELP!! Same problem. Stroked against hard surface and flashed the ROM.
nothing worked. Help please.
Cool !!
It really did work! what a hardware i've got here.
