Hello, my Nexus 4 is dead since last Saturday. It happened when I was in a club, and I was taking picture then a couple of times camera's flash froze after I took pictures then I restarted it and same scenario happened again. Finally it turned off and did not turn on again. Is anybody able to help me?

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.
With the n4 just getting root I'm sure there's some kernels/ROMs on the way does anybody have any insight on how we'll be able to get out of freezes of course cause no removable battery? That was the only way I knew before. Thanks

Yea because tablets for the past 3 years with non-removable batteries have been bricked after freezes?
/end thread
According to Nexus4 guide, which comes with the phone, you have to hold down the power button for 10 seconds to reboot the phone.
I guess that can takes you out of a freeze.

Knock the phone 3 times and then say "Potatoes eat there". The phone would automatically switch off.
Power and volume down works for me

I don't trust that method to be 100% reliable, though. Just from experience with my G2x and it freezing. My phone has a button combo that restarts the phone, but sometimes it fails when my phone is frozen and I still have to pull the battery.

On the nexus 4 the 10sec power button reboot is programmed on the hardware layer(pre-boot) and not the software layer. No matter how bad you freeze your phone in the o/s the power button hold will always reboot it plain and simple.
If you have a hardware issue though then your in trouble no matter what.

My nexus 4 just froze 2 min ago after trying to quit a game. I waited for it to do something but nothing happened. Holding power button down did NOT help.
I held the power button and the volume button down at the same time and it worked. Just sharing it with you guys! :good:
My Mom's phone won't turn on. She bought it a couple months ago and it's never been rooted.
It started this morning and wouldn't turn on. When i hold the power button it vibrates 3x and shows a blinding orange light.
I remove the battery, sim and sd card for 20mins and reinsert them again but nothing.
I've looked everywhere. How do I fix this?
Try to get into the bootloader by holding volume down while booting. If you can, go here.

It's not booting into the bootloader. It just vibrates 3x and the orange light keeps flashing.

If the hardware isn't a problem the only thing I can think of that may fix it is a Riff Box. Google it.

what do you think? is the problem in hardware or in software?
if the problem in software, there are a lot of apps doing what you want (on off restart whatever) , and you can install one of them.

If the button itself is defective and you are not under warranty you may be able to find a replacement on ebay. I have seen various phones being parted out there and the button should come with a replacement rear cover. If it is the actual switch on the motherboard you have a different problem though. Have you removed the rear case to test that switch? It can be done with a torx t5 screwdriver, a couple of guitar picks and a half hour of patience.

this same thing happened to me a while back. and force rebooting fixed it right away. it was just a software derp, hasnt happened since.
Last night, my back buttons stopped working. I was worried it somehow got water damage or something, so I turned my phone off and put it in rice overnight. Now I can't turn on my phone. The notification light was flashing red. When I plug it in, a short vibrate occurs, the LG screen comes on, and the charging screen appears. Is there any way I can start my phone from my computer or something? I don't know what to do! Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Yeah, I can't get any button holds to register, it's driving me crazy. I'm pretty sure none of the back buttons are functional right now.

My computer makes a noise like it detects my phone when connected via USB. But, I can not see any other indication of detection. Is this because my phone is off maybe?
I think its done. If the rear buttons do not work at all something shorted. May want to keep it in rise a few days.

The battery might be dead, as in it can't be charged, therefore the device can't power on.

The battery is working! The battery indicator/screen comes on when charging, it says I have 70%. I think my phone will be usable if I could power it on somehow.
Sorry for bumping, any other thoughts?
Tried powering it on while it's on the charger?

Yeah, my power button and volume buttons just seem unresponsive. When I plug in my phone, it vibrates once, the LG splash screen comes up, then the charging screen with the battery percentage comes up. I just can't get the darn thing to boot up!
I had the same thing happen after I changed the build.prop. I fixed it by unplugging, power off by holding power and vol down, then boot into recovery, and finally restored backup. It has to be unplugged to fully power off. I wasted nearly a hour before I figured it out.
Good luck
