Fix for power on? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have the issue where once powered down the power button takes minutes upon minutes to register a push and power on. Is their a fix floating around here or anything coming soon or do I have to exchange my N7?

PLZ Help- Tf300T will not turn on (working days before)

My tf300t is only about 1 1/2 months old. I had it running CM9 build from XpLodDWiLD. One day it was working just fine. I was watching a movie during some down time at work. Got home, turned it off and charged it. Few days later when i went to fly home, the tablet wouldnt turn on. I had the flashed the rom about a week before all of this and everything was running just fine.
Ive tried to boot the device using all methods i know.. Volume Down + Power/ Volume up + Power/ Volume up + Volume Down + Power/ Holding Power button for over a minute.
Anyone thoughts? or did it decide to commit suicide one day as i slept?
Might be a stupid question, but, have you tried putting it on charge?

Yes. I've read stories of people putting it on charge for a few hrs and it worked fine. So I tried that also.

Was it charging the whole time you were gone? (Which if I'm reading right was a few days)
It could be a SOD have you tried holding the power button for 15-20 seconds then releasing and trying to power it on again?

Nexus 7 power on problem

Hello. My Nexus 7 is rooted. Not sure if this started before or after I rooted it, but when I power it on, it takes holding down the power button upwards of 20 seconds before it starts.
Any ideas?

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

This is usually caused when your battery gets drained fully. Also, it can be caused by system lockups etc.
Its nothing to worry about, but if it happens every time, I would take a closer look at whats going on with your tab, as everytime aint normal.

Random shutdown of my phone?

I've noticed now more than a few times my phone was off when I thought it was asleep. I'm running stock 4.2.2 unrooted. Basically I put my phone down and when I come down to it the only way I can wake it up is to hold the power button. What bug is this
? I haven't ran anything odd ? And I notice my battery gets cut by a good chunk . is this something I should get it exchanged at at the store? I just got this phone less than 2 weeks ago? I'm planning on going today but wanted your guys input before i go?

I am having the same problem, i have had my nexus 4 for about 6 months now. Last week it started shutting down and restarting randomly.
The battery dies when it reaches 20%, today it dropped from 54% to 6% after it restarted alone and lost my wallpaper.
If u find a solution let me know.
thats called "sod" sleep of death. its not actually powered off, its on but the screen doesnt wake. thats why you need to longpress the power button to reboot. it was aajor issue on the gnex until 4.2 came out. now its rare, but still happens. on the n4 too. its an android bug that was "fixed" for most.
how can we solve it?
google needs to fix it.
some people use this app as a temporary fix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gejos.android.wakemyandroid
thx u, i will give it a try.
So there's no point exchanging for another at the store?

Ended up exchanging at T-Mobile store as this happened again. Sorry about posting this. I searched using my comp and found a whole thread about sod.

Phone doesn't turn on!

Hey everyone
I'm running stock 4.3
Yesterday I turned off my phone with around 60 percent of the battery left
And today morning its not turning on! I tried connecting to the charger but no response!
Someone help, please!
Sent from my Nexus 4
Try booting into the bootloader and rebooting from there. Hold volume down and power, then if/when the bootloader comes up use power to select start.
Tried that too. No response at all from phone.

With the device completely off just press and hold volume up and down, it should take you to download mode.

Turning the phone on

Hi, so the short story is that my phone power button does not work, and its turned of because the battery finished and now its charged, what can I do to turn it on??
I don't think ADB works cause phone is off...
Any solution??

Fix the power button
You could attempt just plugging it in and unplugging it a bunch, I have had some phones in the past that this works for, but if you are rooted I know at least one version of twrp recovery caused my phone to power on when plugged in and it would boot to recovery, from there you could just boot to os. Of course you would still need to get it to power on at least once first, so my guess is you need to fix the power button

Have you tried holding the button down for awhile? Like 15-30 seconds?

open phone, remove the power button board(its connected to the mobo with 2 golden pins, they just contact with mobo, so you can just lift away), and do a little short on 2 golden contacts on the mobo till phone turns on
Yes, i tried to hold it about 2 min, i'm sure this is hardware problem
