My Nexus 10 will not power up!!! - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been enjoying my Nexus 10 for about 3 months now and it has been great!!!
Last night after some gaming and surfing the battery was at about 1/4. I had plugged it in the night before and it was about 95% charged in the morning after similar usage, so this time I decided to turn it off and charge as apposed to letting it sleep.
Well this morning no love it just does nothing. I can plug it in and the battery icon will come on when I hit the power button but that it. I have done 30 sec power button, Tried power with VOL + and -, Power and just +, Power and just -, But still nothing!!!
What to do???
Thanks for any input you guys can provide...

OK I fixed it!!!
It was a very odd issue.
I noticed that when it was plugged in and I hit the power button for about 5 sec a battery with lightning bolt icon would appear on the screen. Just out of curiosity and trying every other damn thing I held the power button until said battery icon appeared and quickly unplugged the power from the USB port. This caused the battery icon to stay on for like 10 sec and then it did the quick buzz. Woohoo I was in luck!!! I plugged it back in and hit the power button and it fired up.
What was unexpected was that the battery was completely flat! 0%
I had it plugged in all night and it was in this state. For some reason it would not take a charge but me pulling the plug at the time the battery icon showed up for some reason got it out of that loop and it started taking a charge.
Anyway hope this helps someone else that has this issue.

Glad you fixed it.

[Q] HELP! My DX won't turn on

My DX is not turning on. The battery died and so the phone cut off and when I plug the charger in nothing happens and it won't turn on when the charger is plugged in. I have tried everything I can think of - pulled the battery and put it back in, held the power button down, held the power button and home row keys down, held the power button and camera keys, and I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help?
Take out the battery and hook it up to the wall charger. You should see a battery with a question mark. Then insert the battery and see if it recognizes the battery.
I just took the battery out and left it out for like 15 min and then put in back in and it worked. Thanks for your reply however, I really appreciate it!
phones won't start with a dead battery.. don't forget to charge -_-
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
just something for anyone else who has this issue in the future when my DX dies its a ***** to re-start i usually have to hold the power key down for 10-20 secs then it will start or show the battery logo

Nexus 10 won't boot after charging

Hi guys,
My battery went completely dead, left it to charge over night, now wont boot at all. If its plugged into the charger and I hold the power button the full battery symbol (black and white) shows for about 2 seconds and then goes off for about the same time then reapers. Any ideas?
Device status:
- Stock rom
- boot loader unlocked
- non-rooted
I've tried :
- Hold power for 30 seconds to a minute
- Hold power + volume buttons for 30 seconds to a minute
- no response form my computer when its plugged in
- no response when trying to boot into fast boot
I am aware this has already been asked. I've tried the other threads but no luck
EDIT
I got mine to boot. I have literally no idea how, I just tried the power button again and it burst into life, although the battery was empty.
I think this could be due to not letting the battery die enough. I normally let my phone (HTC One) so completely flat every month or so but i've never done it for the Nexus 10.
The same problem please help
Serious bump. Ive tried all of these methods, but it just shows the charge icon when plugged in. This is the first time for me that it wouldnt just turn on after going into that sleep state. Charged over night.

I think this is the same issue that many (or a few) people are having. Mine, for example, will be at 100% charge. Then, sometime in the day (without using it) it will die. It will not power on. When I plug it into a charger, it will show the charge indicator on the screen, and I can get it to power on 50% of the time right away by holding down the power button for about 5-10 seconds.
When it boots up, the android tells me it is at 0% battery. If I leave it plugged in it will usually show 100% again after a short period of time, but until then, if i unplug it, the tablet powers right off.

Here is a pretty good thread to see the issue.
Bill
Here's a question for you:
Watch your battery life. At any point, does it begin NOT draining? Such as remaining at 60% for 2-3 hours during usage? If so, you may have a defective motherboard and require warranty replacement, as that was one of my symptoms.

Help Pls. My Nexus 7 2013 wont turn on.

It won't turn on even the battery icon is absent when I try to charge it. Also when I hold the power button for 15 seconds it only blinks/pulse 3 times(notification light). I bought this tablet at Best buy...and it's over 15 days now.
Can I still return. This one or get a replacement from Bestbuy/Google? My tablet isn't rooted yet with locked boot loader too.
Thanks.
Hold the power button for longer, like 30-60 seconds.
If that doesn't work, connect to charger and let it sit for a while, then repeat.

Thanks...it works now...and the battery was so drained it didn't power up for a couple of minutes ... . I checked the battery section and it was mainly caused by Vonage app...I don't know why ...it should consume about 50% of the battery... I just used it once . :/
I'm having the same problem I am completely stock with a locked boot loader. I had just took my device off the charger and it powered on and I saw Google so I thought it was starting up, when I looked back the device was off I've tried holding power for 30 seconds and even tried putting it back on the charger,but its not even showing the charging indicator.
Edit:I got it to work, I left it off the charger for 5 minutes and then tried charging it again and It started charging. I turned it on and it said I had 65% battery so I find it kind of weird that it didn't start up.

How to turn on wileyfox storm after battery fully drained.

Hello to all experts.
1- Accidently my wileyfox storm battery was fully drained at night and i was not at home during that time.
I connected mobile to wall outlet it was showing red colour on home button when connected (as a battery charging indication) but after near about 8 hours i tried to turn it on but no luck. I pressed power button for many seconds, many times but no luck.
Now what should I do to turn on my wileyfox storm.
2- My second question is how to open back cover of my wileyfox storm. i did not find any notch or point to open back cover to see inside.
Thanks in advance.
Plug your phone on charge but not in usb, and wait about 20mn
I am having this problem as well right now, how did you fix it?
I too have the same problem , it was off because drain , but then put in office is no longer lights . the light is always red . what can I do?
Leave it charging for a while from the mains. Red light means charging on low charge, the screen doesn't turn on until it has some charge.
it is normal to be in power for eight hours, and nothing has changed ? Red light always on and off screen

I am no expert, but I've had the same problem after fully running the phone battery down. While looking for an answer I managed resolve the issue by to hold the power down and down array while the phone in chagrining for around 2 minutes and the phone started up, almost by complete accident.

I had the same issue you are having, battery ran down to empty, charge light would always be red no matter how long it was plugged in, slow charge, fast charge, holding down the power button, even with the inclusion of the vol down, nothing worked.
I fixed it by opening up the phone and disconnecting then reconnecting the the battery. After doing so the phone started to properly charge (phone booted up and displayed the battery animation). Everything now operates as normal, though I won't be letting it drain to 0% again, that's for sure.
If you're able to, give it a shot and hopefully it will do the trick for you as well (though I'm probably way to late).
Hello to all
I again have the same problem, the battery of my storm has fully discharged, but although is it charging for many hours the LED light is always red and the phone will not turn on. This time even while holding together power button and volume less nothing is happening.
Can anyone help me and tell me how I can fix ?
Level1imp how did you open the phone to disconnect the battery ?

After I read your message here, I've tried and finally I solved this problem in my phone.
I was getting crazy because there isn't place to fix this phone in my country and the company Wileyfox wanted me to send my phone to someone in europe to them send to Wilefox to fix it. I've spoke with the company today to see what could they do for me and the solution they gave to me was this and to I try to open the back by myself. But this last solution it isn't a solution because would make me loose the garantee. Why the technician didn't told me about this solution? I'm so disappointed with them.
hi i have a wileyfox storm it is not going on when i press power button .now i connect with wall charger so it show a red circle on the bottom and phone show logo on and of .how can i put it on
This works!!
For anyone who needs it, this also works on wileyfox swift 2
Had this too, but solved
Just had this problem occur on my Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus. Completely drained, left on charge for 4h but it got 0% charged in that time.
For me, hooking it up to a slightly stronger power source (5V 2.1A) USB port of my power bank,
in combination with Power + Volume UP
Got me to a boot screen I'd never seen before.
Hit Fast Boot, it looked like it just turned off again but a few seconds later I saw the normal boot screen pop up

My Phone Died!

Ok I just updated the phone used it all day went to bed with 46 percent battery life. Plugged the charger in. I wake up and pushed the finger print scanner, nothing? Pressed the power button, nothing?
Any suggestions?
Try holding power button until boot. Had same issue my first day with phone.
It's back from the dead!
I changed usb cables and held the power button for about 15 seconds and it finally booted up. It was at full charge so it wasn't a cable issue.
I'm kind of getting used to this phone but it still has some quirkiness to it
good call
Wow ... exactly 15 seconds of the power button held and it booted. Nice call!
worked for me too!
