Hello
I want to share something that happens to my Iconia. When connected to wifi, if I let the tablet sleep for some time, after I press the power button to wake it up, the screen does not respond. The only way out is to reset by keeping the power button pressed. The funny thing is that the tab does not freeze, only the screen as before reseting it asks me if I want to turn it off.
This has happened twice. Has anyone had the same issue?

I've actually had that happen to me a couple times recently. I'm not sure what's causing it, but I'm beginning to wonder if it continues to happen if we might not get some file-system corruption at some point. ? I wonder if it's a particular app that might be causing it. I haven't tracked it down yet, but I don't believe it ever happened to me before I put juice defender on the other day.
Its a known problem. I have had two acers, and both exhibited this problem. I tried factory resets, there is no getting around it. Just hope Acer issues a fix.

Not sure if what I had was exactly the same thing. But my acer crashed twice this morning. completely unresponse. 1st time it was asleep and the screen came on by itself and stayed on the lock screen. but i couldn't unlock. 2nd time, i had just woken it up from sleep and checked for an update, then it froze.
Both times, i had to hold the power button down to turn off, but it didn't ask if i wanted to shut down.. it just waited about 5 secs then turned off.
This is the first time since I've had it (4 weeks) that this has happened.
I enabled the wifi to be turned off when the screen is turned off and this has fixed the screen being unresponsive when its turned on and I also don't see the screen randomly waking up.
Definitely there is something wrong with the wifi in the iconia although I don't see any signal drops

Yes, this problem is actually listed quite a few times in the general Iconia issues thread and I think in some other threads as well.
I've placed a WiFi-widget on my desktop so I can switch off WiFi before putting my tablet to sleep. Since I am doing it that way, it hasn't frozen any more.
Hi,
mi n2e only with 1 week and has got frozen in the middle of a book. It doesn't respond. Soft reset doesn't work. Battery was about 50%.
I have disassembled it and try a lot of things, remove battery, connect to supply without battery... but the screen is in the same page of the book. There is no way to turn off screen.
Now with the nook connected to supply the led indicator is off and my computer doesn't detect it. This morning I got the light turned red (charging perhaps???) In this situation when I pushed button to turn off, the red changed to green for 2-3 seconds and then turned red again. And my computer detected it.
But now the light indicator is off again.
This is a gift from a friend in Usa. I live in Spain, so there is no warranty and for this reason I've tried to repair myself.
Any help, please? I'm desperate with it. I can't understand it fails in only 1 week.
Thanks.
> Soft reset doesn't work.
What do you mean by "doesn't work". It happened to me that my touch screen stucked but when I pressed "power off" button for a long time (e.g. 15 s) my nook rebooted and then if was OK.
But in you case whole system is stucked (no menu after pressing "n"), right?
Right. Whole system is out. Anything works... Now when I plug to power, there is no light on (led is off).
Hi Esfinge
Did you find a solution?
Same thing happened to me, I'm in South Africa, so can't take it back to B&N.
Got it brand new, charged it, connected to wi-fi, registered, loaded a book via Caliber (on Mac), switched off wi-fi.
The next time I picked it up it had the message that the unit is switched off and that
you have to power it up by pressing the power button on the back.
Tried removing the battery, did not help at all, also holding power button for 20 sec.
If I plug it into power the light goes green and then orange after a couple of seconds, if I connect it to a computer I can access the files on the nook.

Dude, it's a e-ink screen..
When powered down it still retains its last image, it wont go blank unless told to do so.

That doesn't make sense, a powered down N2 will not mount the sdcard on your pc when connected via usb.
So if you're able to access the Nook partition while the N2 is still showing its "powered down" screen, you're in some serious trouble, as that would indicate the N2 is powered on and running, but not communicating with the e-Ink screen

This seems to be the case, worked perfectly and then suddenly not, I might be sitting with a 'Friday' model.... anyone know where I can get a new screen?

Screen is black blank, hasnt came back since it first shut off after the first or second reboot on the first try restoring it to 1.4.3. The Screen was working fine before I used it everyday then i wanted to switch roms from phirmod 7.1 to NookieJoyOS it worked but the wifey didnt like it. She wanted her original nook color back. So I went back to original stock rom and then i started having problems. At first i though i had formatted something wrong in cw3.0.2.8. Above I was stating scenarios in threads i was reading on what possibly happened.

I recently got an NST screen/digitizer for ~$40US on eBay, it took 5minutes to replace it.
Hey everyone, Im having a problem thats making me worry. I was using my phone today and for some reason the phone wont turn on after I turned it off. I havent dropped the phone at all and it hasnt been abused in any way. The last thing I was doing before I turned it off was trying to send feedback for the Yahoo Mail app because it wouldnt sync automatically, but even that was unsuccessful because it wouldnt send. So I thought I should just reboot it but afterwards its not turning on at all.
I tried holding the power button for at least 20 seconds and still nothing is happening, and I tried plugging in the power cord to see if that would help but it hasnt. Has anyone gone through a similar issue? Please Help
Thanks.
Leave it plugged in for fifteen minutes without touching it.

Try holding volume up + power to see if you can get into recovery then reboot from there.
Also, give some more details about your setup...
Rooted/Stock/What Rom/Kernel?
Yea I left it alone for a bit and then I held the power button while holding down both volume rockers and somehow it turned on. I dont know why this happened but I'm just glad it turned back on, it gave me a good scare though. I just hope it doesnt happen again
Mine is completely stock, I havent done anything with it yet
And may I ask what was your battery percentage level like after the short charge? Maybe the phone drained it all just being turned off... There were some cases of this here...
i wanted to add that i had a similar problem with my phone not turning back on. However, I managed to fix what was wrong by just plugging in the usb cable. I know you've tried it, but just in case someone else stumbles upon this thread (like me!) and has a problem turning on their nexus, I wanted to share my experience.
I haven't done anything to my phone other than add my old apps to my Nexus since I received it 1.5 weeks ago. It's stock. I've never dropped it or gotten water on it or anything. I charged it overnight last night and stuck it in my purse on the way to work. I think I briefly saw a working screen after I unplugged it this morning. However, the first time I tried to access my phone today was after I got to work. It wouldn't turn on, though that pinkish light at the bottom was still blinking. I tried calling it and the Nexus wouldn't ring even though the call went through a few rings and then onto voicemail. I tried holding down the power button for a while and also holding the power button with the volume keys to see if that would work, and it did not. Finally I borrowed a usb cable to plug it in, hoping the jolt of power would wake it up. That worked. It gave me the charging symbol for a little bit and then gave me the startup/loading screen with the glowing x made of arrows. I checked my battery and it was at full charge. Well, it was at 85%, which is odd since I plugged it in for about 9 hours last night to charge and there has only been 3 hours of non-use since I unplugged it. Also, if it was really turned off during those 3 hours it shouldn't have ate up any battery. Anyway, I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents in case anyone else has this problem. My brother, who gave me the Nexus, told me that he only has 2 weeks to return it if there's something wrong with it or I don't like it. Needless to say this gave me a scare, since the 2 weeks is almost up.

Yes this happened to me the other night. I was making a phone call and accidentally hit the power button. I then tried to turn the screen back on in order to hang up the phone and it would work. I tried holding the button for 15 seconds, tried pressing the volume up/down keys, and still nothing. I then put it back in my pocket for a minute or so and tried again. When I did that the screen came back on and the call was still active. Very strange, and I hope it doesnt happen again....

Same thing is happening to me right now.
Running stock. Not rooted. Phone charge was around 70% and I was on twitter and the app force closed. So I decided to restart my phone then went to turn it back on and it wont respond. Tried holding down the power button for 20 sec. Volume up and power, volume down and all 3 at the same time. Still nothing. Leaving it on the charger for awhile and the screen is blank no battery logo or anything.
Not quite sure what to do now?
That's scary

My Nexus 4 use Stock Rom, Rooted. and this first i get this problem. Please advise me on this case. Thank
:laugh:
I'm having similar problems. Lots of random rebooting and refusals to turn back on sometimes, even though the LED at the bottom is flashing so i know the phone is still powered up. Also, sometimes when i have it plugged into a computer through usb it will get extremely hot and completely shut down, not turning back on for a long time. I called the google play store and someone is going to get back to me. I love my nexus 4 so i hope i can get this fixed or a replacement.
Nexus 4 crashed and would not power on

I had this issue too a couple of times playing Pandora through my car's Bluetooth. That was when the Nexus 4 had 4.2.1. I have not had this issue with Pandora since the upgrade to 4.2.2.
However, I just now had this issue with Movie Studio app and exporting a video I edited. It turned off its screen like normal screen timeout but then would not come back on.
I had to Volume Up + Power button for a few seconds and then release to get it to reboot.
This same thing is happening to me. Haven't found a specific cause...
Just got the same issue
Today got mine not turning on.
Managed to turn it on by holding volume up and power button together for about 30 seconds while phone was on a stock charger. After that I saw blinking orange led. When I resolved buttons there was a battery pictogram. After pressing and holding power button I finally got turning on vibration and Google logo.
The only things a made after the charging were making few photos of my cat (from the lock screen) viewing them in gallery. Then I locked the screen and put the phone on a shelf. In a hour I was not able to turn it on.
My phone has stock rom and only few third party apps installed.
I got muy Nexus 4 on 21-Dec-2012. 4 days ago I flashed to Android 4.2.2 which phone dowloaded itself. After flashing phone was rebooted.
What I noticed is that it shows 70% battery. But It was fully charged few hours ago.
30% in 2 hours! In my opinion some service/app drained these 30% by using 100% of processing power that caused overheating and/or hanging.
I too have just had this problem. And I've had it previously when making calls, the screen simply won't respond at all, its quite annoying.
This morning my alarm went off and the screen wouldn't turn on, it went on for so long I almost threw the phone across the room. I eventually held the power button and volume down/up button and then the led blinked orange a few times and the phone reset, now it seems fine.
Its a very annoying problem, and could be very serious depending on what you are doing, might have to phone the play store and tell them.

Un plugged cord re plugged cord nothing finally pressed up/down vol and power for about a minute (long minute) and the phone rebooted. YIKES!

Happened second time.
I was able to turn it on again by following the same steps. But this time I got some strange issue: after resolving vol+ and power buttons I saw battery pictogram with some frame with a blue background; when phone finally booted up this frame and blue background were visible through the my desktop background an screen itself was much lighter with pure colors. Only after about 5 soft resets screen seems to became nice again. Each reboot caused blue frame to become less visible. I'm confused and worried.
Also during all these reboots this frame with blue background was visible even in behind "Google" and "X" logos during booting up.
Another strange thing is that on screenshots I made this frame is not visible.
That would have to do with LCD or software..
As the battery & Google are just pictures that change. If you understand what in saying lol ?
Nexusâ´
Short story: my tablet either freezes or shuts down when the screen turns off. If the screen turns off, the only way I can get the tablet on is by holding the power button down until it restarts.
Long story:
My alarm went off this morning perfectly fine. As usual, I browsed Facebook and CNN. While reading a CNN article, the screen shut off (timed out). I hit the power button and the article came back up but was zoomed in on a particular spot, the notification bar was missing, and the touchscreen was unresponsive. I turned the screen off and back on, and all that showed was the dimmed background - there was no clock or apps and the touchscreen was still unresponsive. I turned the screen off and on again and this time nothing happened - the screen stayed off. I held the power button down until it restarted. The tablet worked fine until the screen shut off - and it stayed off again. I repeated that last step several times with no change. The screen doesn't turn on when charging or when plugged into my computer - and my computer doesn't recognize it.
Then I backed up the tablet and performed a factory reset. The tablet reset and I signed in and set it up. The screen shut down several times and started back up no problem. Then I left for a few minutes, when I came back - same problem.
I don't know what else to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Nexus 7 2012 16Gb
Lollipop 5.1
I am having problems with a nexus 10 tablet. It has not been rooted. The battery has been replaced and for the first week it work fine. No issues with battery running down very fast and random shutoff.
Yesterday, I noticed the brown tinge on the screen that is a known problem. Now, today, went to turn on tablet and went into the startup then the screen goes black. I noticed if I keep touching the screen it comes back on for about a second.
I then booted into recovery, and saw the crashed android logo, with the line saying tablet is downloading don't turn off.
I am unsure where to go from here. Any help is much appreciated.
