Today, when my nexus 4 reached 0% it shutdown like how it usually does but the odd thing is when i plugged it back into the charger and tried to turned it back on, it didnt respond at all... No battery icon, no vibration, no led notification, NOTHING.
Is my phone dead? Is there any way to turn it back on?
I tried numerous amounts of button combinations.. volume up+power, volume down+power, all the buttons, nothing!
Nexus 4 was rooted, unlocked bootloader
running LiquidSmooth Official build 2.1, Matrix 8.5 kernel
Any help would be appreciated!

It happens when you let the phone hit 0%. It doesn't happen to me but it does to some folks.
Try to just leave the usb cable plugged it for an hour or so and see what happens. If it powers on, just remember don't let it hit 0%. I assume you were trying to calibrate the battery. If you were then that's not necessary.
Good luck!

Ohhh is that so?! I had no problems before draining the battery but i guess this time it messed up?
I'll try leaving the phone plugged in over night and see what happens in the morning!
And yess i was trying to calibrate the battery!
We'll see what happens in the morning, Thanks!

Installed CM7 on the EVO 4G three days ago and everything has been working fine. Until today when I went to turn my phone on, nothing happened. It vibrated like normal when its booting up, but nothing came up on the screen. Since then, nothing is happening at all. No charging light when plugged in, no sounds, no vibrations, nothing on the screen, not showing up on computer.
What do I try to get this thing to respond?
Did I cause this or is this a hardware problem that just happened to be about the same time I rooted this thing?

What method of rooting did you do? You try a battery pull and hold the power button down for 15 secs with the battery out and try to boot it.

A bricked phone will have a red triangle looking thing that won't go away lol. One that doesn't respond is usally spanked silly lol. Tho there may still be hope your's isn't try the pull method on batt.
I pulled the battery, held power button and volume down while plugged into wall, no response. Should I leave it unplugged and not try the volume button with it?

Try it without being plugged in and with battery out just hold power button down. Usally clears some big issues. If it doesn't work then it could be spanked. Bad unit.

Do you have an extra battery to try out, or temporarily borrow from a friend? Are you sure your battery was charged up, and it didn't die? It sounds odd that it just did that out of the blue. I'd be suspicious of.a dead battery. They can die to the point that they will not take a charge, and they're totally dead.

That's true lol SBC kernels can spank battery quicker. Id try new battery if it's not it then Id swap it out at sprint.
I do not have another battery to test with, I will have to go to a sprint store to do that. I dont have the unit with me to test tonight, but I will take these suggestions home with me. Thanks guys. Lets hope I didn't brick my girlfriends two week old EVO. She loved the Cyanogenmod that I put on there.

so my phone was on and i grabbed it just to check it, it was off, no led lights, tried hard reset, still nothing?
then plugged it in the charger, still nothing, disconnected and reconnected the charger about 4 times and after the last time i disconnected it it started to show it was charging (but the cord was unplugged) and was "charging" for like 15 secs then screen shutoff, then was able to power it on with no problems?
battery was at 55%
wasnt undervolted at all.
had just flashed xylon rom about 2 days prior and only had it that one time, got me thinking wtf caused this ?
any ideas ?

a derp probably. you could have had a process that the phone couldnt shut down, or some bad code in the rom. a forced shutdown resolves this(long press power button for about 10-15 seconds).

yea oh well, hopefully nothing serious comes from this :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Hi all. Yet again my n4 has wet itself, big time.
Thanks to Simms I got it going the last time by shutting down phone, waiting for charging graphic, then all was good.
This time, I can't turn on the phone for any length of time enough to turn off properly.
It reboots, google logo comes up, then phone shuts down again.
If I try and boot into recovery, same thing happens. Robot image appears for recovery mode, then before I can do anything it shuts down again, briefly shows charge animation then goes back to flashing red dot.
I left it plugged into mains charger for 6 hours, no change.
Is it dead????
Right. By getting into recovery mode and really quickly managing to shutdown, it showed charging animation, then it disappeared and red dot has stopped.
Tried to turn on again and briefly showed battery icon and start red dot flashing again : (

leave it on the charger for a while, then try again. i mean leave it on the charger for an hour or two before you try again.

Thanks Simms. I left it on for 6 hours last night but still flashing red.
Now I can't manage to get to shut down in time before it powers off.
What worries me is that last time I had RLOD, I could still navigate around the phone while it was plugged into power..

your phone probably thinks it has less then 0% battery. keep trying to get it into the bootloader so that you can power it off. try like 3-4 times in a row, then let it sit plugged in for some time and try again. you can always try the disconnect the battery then reconnect the battery method to fix rlod.

Dare I say, it may be ok. This time it started, google logo came up. Waited for it to shut off but it continued to fully start.
Went to shutdown in power menu, phone switched off. Charging animation came on.
Sorted!!!!!
Simms thanks for your help bro.
I'll let you sleep, then ask somewhere Q's about RLOD later mate
Cheers

Don't work.
unplug it and leave it for around 10 minutes, then plug it back in again, wait a minute and hold down power for 30s until it boots. Should be OK after that.

Good luck. But please do not make double posts and post questions in the Q&A forum next time, ok?
Always use the stock charter, and charge it over nigth, I think this solves your Problem.
Plug it for 30 minutes. Then restart.
If not unplug/plug battery by opening back cover.
Maybe battery was disconnected.
Did you try holding volume up + power? I had this happen to me as well and I did that combination while on the charger to get my N7 to turn back on.

I actually had this problem last night. My battery was at 20% a few days ago... left it idle, went to use it last night and bam, nothing.
Plugged it in for a few minutes and tried to boot, nothing. Left it for about 5 minutes and then just held down the power button until something happened, and finally I managed to get the battery icon to appear. It would stay for a few seconds then the screen would go black. Then it would return. Rinse, repeat. I couldn't even get it to stop doing that. Eventually gave up and just let it charge for another 10 minutes.
Looked at it after that and it was booted. Battery page shows it dropped from 20% to completely dead instantly. Not sure what's up with that.
The whole time I was doing this procedure, the notification light was pulsing in sequences of 5, if that means anything to anyone.
Anyway, tablet is fine this morning.
I had my tablet on my bed, turned off, with ~60% of battery this morning.
On the afternoon I wanted to use it but it wouldn't turn on.
I already plugged it to the charger, nothing.
Tried pressing power + volume up + volume down (several seconds), nothing.
Same thing with only the power button, nothing.
When I keep the power button pressed while the charger is plugged in, the icon if the battery with a thunderbolt inside appears for a second, then disappears.
If I don't let go of the power button, this icon keeps appearing for a second and then disappears (and appears and disappears in a loop) and nothing else happens.
Any ideas?
I don't want to throw this tablet away.

I just had this happen to me a little while ago. My tablet turned off with the battery not even close to empty and couldn't get it to turn back on. I could get into recovery but not the OS. I tried flashing different things but it kept having issues. I tried leaving it in recovery mode to drain the battery all the way. Then plugged in the charger while it was off and let it charge up again. I flashed a rom again and I got it to turn back on. Everything seems to be back to normal now. But I really don't know what exactly fixed it or what caused it. I was flashing some older ROMs on it when it happened because I wanted to go back to Marshmallow. So, sorry I don't have a real answer but those are some things that I tried. It could be early signs of a bad battery but I don't know for sure

Well I could't enter recovery ao I just let it drain its battery, after some days I plugged the charger, the battery started charging and it booted.
So... I have no idea what it was, but now it's working again.
Yes, I'm guessing the batttery is dying so I'm starting to look for alternatives.
I guess I'll just go for an iPad, dont know what other tablet could be a good replacement for this one.

I agree. There's not really any other Android tablet that I think is a good replacement though. I like the size of the Nexus 10 and wouldn't want anything smaller. I thought about the Nexus 9 but even that has issues with running the latest version of Android. I guess tablets are just going out of style.
