Nexus 4 Battery Issue - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Had 2% battery left when i put it on charging, at about 95% i removed the charger and placed some calls, surfed the net and scanned my files for any viruses. Suddenly the screen went black and n4 didnt respond to anything. Long pressing the power button didnt seem to work as well. I then connected the charging cable and the red led starting blinking, after a couple of minutes i turned it on and thats what i found. Any help regarding the occurrence of thia issue will be appreciated. (Sorry for my bad English tho)

Calibrating the battery is not necessary. It's better to not let it die and then plug it into the charger. Under the hood. our phones are powered by a Lithium-polymer battery. They'll last longer if you charge it before it dies.

It won't work with usb. are you using the wall charger?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yeah it's being charged from the wall using the apple usb wall plug.
I recommend only charging the phone when you're able to unplug it from the wall. The x10 doesn't seem to like trickle charging so you're better off keeping track rather than letting the battery cycle like 3 times while you're sleeping.
Ok i seem to have resolved it. I removed the apple usb and replaced it with the original. When it turned on again I plugged the mini usb down towards the battary which then stated that the phone was charging. If i knock it it will stop charging and I will have to do it again. Guessing fualty? by my means or its own?
Sounds like you weren't getting enough voltage out of the Apple USB charger (which makes no sense, but...) or your micro USB port is screwy.
I think it was the port, I tried diffrent micro usb leads to no avail. I put it into repair with o2 today =/2 weeks wait now though,

Nexus 4 Died?

So i was playing a game called The room battery was at 1% but was connected to a charger and it suddenly powered off and a red light started to blink then the light disappeared and now it is connected to the charger and has no response, is my phone dead? :S i'm so nervous.
The device may not respond until it is fully charged. I think it's best if you wait until it's charged fully and see what goes from there.

Maybe it's the adapter that's broken? Try changing adapter/cable or try charging using your PC

So many threads on this. Charge your phone overnight. Not working? Rip off the back cover and disconnect and reconnect it. That's a no go? Check another thread.... Wish you luck

When I have get the red light I have to keep trying to power it on taking the charger in and out. Last time took 30 mins for it to go away of continuously trying to power on and taking charger in and out. The reason I do this is because if you leave it on charge with the red light on the phone will not charge. You can leave it over night and the red light will still be there and your phone won't be charged! It will only charge if you get the charger screen up and the red light is off.
Happens to me if don't have much battery and I try to watch something on the TV with slimport connected

plug it in, and press and hold volume up plus power for 60 seconds, then release. It should then power up automatically or press the power button again. This key combination is the equivalent of a battery pull, which is what you have to do when it gets locked up like that or battery drains too low.
none of those worked i tried it's bricked i guess

Your phone's fine. The reason it powered down even though it was plugged in is because it was at 1%, and considering you were playing a game your phone was probably expending power faster than it could charge.
When there's absolutely no power left it won't respond no matter how long you hold down the power button. Just plug it in & let it charge for a few hours don't worry.

It's not bricked, there are a lot of threads about it around here. You have to charge the battery, and keep trying with vol down + power, until it takes you to recovery. From there choose reboot.

you have to disconnect the battery and charge it withe external charger for an hour then reconnect your battery . i hope this help you .

[Q] Device not turning on

Please help, when i was flashing awesome beats, at the end of flashing my device's temperature is very high and then it turned off by itself. After that, my device wont turn on when i pressed the power button although my battery shows 50%+ before flashing.
I tried to plug the charge and the white battery charging indicators appeared but then the device went off again after a while. It happens repetitively, white battery charging shows up, and then turned off. When i tried to turn on the device while plugged into charger, a google logo appeared and then turned off. I can access the bootloader when pressing the vol down button while it's charging. Please help me, what's happening with my device? is it because the battery is fully depleted or maybe another issue? Thank you
Sorry for my bad language.

i've tried to flash the factory image but the problem still there. it wont turn on with charger unplugged, when it plugged, white battery charging indicator shows up, and then turned off with red led blink, after a while it turned on again with white battery charging indicator and again it turned off with red led blink, this happened repetitively. If i put my device in charge for a while, the red led wont blink again when it turned off after the white battery charging indicator, but it still wont boot..

Let it charge for couple hours before doing anything to it. How are you flashing the factory image? I recommend using one of the toolkit to guide you through.

Pull the battery and put it back in after 15 seconds

Thanks for all of your advices, i think i've already fix my phone since it can boot again and i successfully restore my nandroid backup. I did charge my device using 3rd party charger with 2.0A for a couple minutes and then unplug it and charge using my original charger. and guess what.. it works hhe. Thank you all :good:
Glad its alive again. Next time make sure to feed it well. Don't let the battery die to 0%. Recharge it once u reach 5% to 10%.

Thanks btw. the weird thing is, when i turned on the device, the battery is the same as just before it turned off. I think the battery is not depleted to 0%, maybe the device is malfunctioning or something.

My observation leads me to believe that this is typical for a battery that has been left on with a completely discharged battery. But it shouldn't take an hour.
My thinking is that this is product of bigger batteries and higher current requirements. Although I'd like to hear from someone if holding down the power button will start the device in spite of very low charge.

Note 3 died while charging

Hi all, my note 3 just died in a strange way.
2 hours ago i it was working in the train. When i got home it was about 10%. Took it out once while smoking and put it back charging again. Half an hour ago i turned on the screen to see if i got any messages. Turned of the screen again. Half an hour later i wanted to check again, but the phone was off.
It wont turn on anymore. Tried my second battery, not working. Checked my usb cable, it was charging my external battery.
After this i plugged the phone in to charge again to see what would happen. I dont see any battery icon in the screen, the led is also not working. The battery feels cold. But the area around the camera is pretty hot. Still won't do nothing.
Has anyone any idea what this unexpected dead is about? Not rooted, not wet, not dropped, like i said, i was checking my messages half an hour ago while it was charging.

have you tried taking your phone into recovery mode (volume up+home+power)?

Yes, it is not reacting to anything. I thought maybe the power button is bricked, but that would not explain why it is not showing the battery logo and led light while charging.

Plugged usb cable into my laptop, took out battery, connected phone to cable, tried recovery and power, both not working. The upper area of the phone gets hot though. So the laptop is giving power to it i guess.

Ok thanks, what a shame.
Any technical people who might have know what caused it? Could it be a power shortcut or some kind of malware in the background? It's a really stupid death.
Mine did this
Was only 2 weeks old.
Took it back to the shop, and got it replaced.
It wouldnt charge even with the phone off
Common fault with them
similar thing happened to my wifes s2 turned out to be the motherboard
I have visited a support center. They told me the battery was giving 4.2 Volt to the phone instead of 3.8 Volt. So the phone and the battery are both broke. He told me this doesn't happen often.
