So this is sort of a weird issue, and my tablet has only started doing this recently.
When the tablet completely runs out of juice I plug it in. For whatever reason when I plug it in it tries to start up - I get the Google screen, then the boot up animation, then I get my home screen. It's at 0% battery so a second or two after this happens it shuts itself down. Then it starts itself up again - Google screen, boot up animation, home screen, shut down. It continues to cycle like this as long as it's plugged in. And because it does this it never ends up charging. It just cycles endlessly.
I've tried holding down the power button while it's plugged in. It shuts off, then proceeds to start up again. I try unplugging it, shutting it off, then plugging it back in, and it tries to start up again. I never see the battery charging screen that's supposed to show when it's off but charging.
Sometimes I can get lucky and turn it off at just the right time to keep it from turning back on again, and I'll get the battery charging screen, but I haven't been able to this time around.
Anyone know why it insists on trying to start up when I plug it in? I'd actually rather it NEVER did this and have it turn on when I choose it to.

So my phone died earlier today and I left my charger in my friend's car. When I got it back, I tried to plug it in and turn it on, but nothing happened. I know sometimes you have to wait until it has a certain % charge before you can turn it on. I made and hour trip back home and when I got back I still couldn't get my phone to turn on.
When it's not plugged in nothing happens at all. When it is plugged it it repeats the boot logo thing over and over and over and eventually goes black. I can't get to any kind of menu. I've tried the X+Power option. Nothing.
Any help?

You might try and swap batteries with someone with a D2 or D1 to see if your battery is messed up other than that I'm not sure what to do because it sounds like you don't have enough power but if it's not charging you could have a software issue, because the D2 won't charge without software.
Does your white charging light on the side turn on when it's plugged in?
Are you running a Custom ROM?
I have the Bell version of this phone. I received it last week and I love it so far. The biggest issue that I have with this phone is that it will not stay off.
If I turn the phone off by holding the power button, it shows that it is turning off. 20 seconds later, the LG splash screen shows up and the phone powers back on by itself.
If I run it until the battery dies, I connect it to the charger, and a few seconds later I see the battery indicator. Without fail, within 40 seconds the phone powers back up on its own.
I have done a hard reset, and reinstalled everything and it doesn't help. Is this a quirk of this phone? Is there a fix that anyone knows of? I would really like the phone to remain off when I turn it off.
Sorry to hear you have this problem. I have not experience this problem with my phone.
Mine won't stay off if the power cord is plugged in.
So it can't charge while powered off (this is something I used to do to "re-calibrate" the battery on my Kaiser since WM6.x used to get in the way of the charging).
It could be that your USB port is damaged somehow to make the phone think that the power is plugged in?
That's about all I could think of... I find this behavior really aggravating.
after receiving my tablet for Christmas everything was working great all day the battery got low so i put it on the charger and then went to see a movie. After returning from the movie i picked my tablet up and saw that it was at 99% charged and a new update was available. so i started updating it and the progress bar got about 3/4ths through when it froze, so i powered down and restarted it. After restarting it i noticed that my battery was at 15% and the screen kept freezing on the lock screen. when ever i get it unlocked a message will pop up in the middle of the screen saying powering off immediately. can anybody here help me?
below the USB port is a reset pen hole. Try to reset the device by pushing a paperclip into the hole.you have to push hard holdit in firmly and then power on device.this should run recovery.
If not because its new I would call acer.
now it wont get to the lock screen, it just goes to a black screen and says power off, shutting down but still wont shut down
its defective take it back to the store.
If the pin hole will not reset it.
Make sure the power button shows being charged or charging.
the tablet was plugged in yesterday playing a video and then it powered itself down.
there was no low power warning before it turned off. the powering down dialog box popped up as it shut itself down. it was not abrupt. the battery charging icon flashed on the screen repeatedly, and when I tried to turn it back on, the battery icon would flash empty and nothing would happen.
I tried charging it for a while with a couple different chargers, and it would not power on.
now nothing happens. I left it plugged in all night and tried turning it on again and the screen stays blank. no backlight activity or anything.
the tablet wasn't hot or anything when it powered down. it was only playing a stream from watchespn. anything I can try or do?
Hi
Suddenly when powered off, I saw that when I plug in the charger, the battery icon pops up in the middle (as expected) the charging icon comes and that's it. It just shows a empty battery with a lightning icon. The weird part here is that i'm unable to turn the phone on the normal way and if I unplug the charger (even for minutes) the empty battery icon stays on and still can't turn on.
The only way to turn the phone on is home+power+vol down and when in download mode, choose cancel then restart.
I'm rooted on a custom rom, but haven't really changed anything.. Tried formatting and reinstalling everything.. Not seem to fix it.
Any ideas?
No problems on mine. Turned it off, plugged it in, got the battery icon with the percent of charge and three dots moving up from the bottom of the screen to the battery image. Pressed the power button for a couple of seconds, and it powered up like normal. I'd raise it with your ROM developer.
