Hi guys,
Before anyone says anything, I have already searched google/xda for this issue and found the common fix for the red light issue which involves opening up the phone.
However, before I go about performing an open heart surgery on my phone I just want to confirm that it is the same issue and hence I have made this thread.
So here's the story:
Last night my phone gave me the 15% warning but I was too damn sleepy to plug in my phone so I just slept. Next morning I wake up and plug it in only to find the blinking red light. I left it in for an hour and removed it to find it incredibly warmer than normal and of course, it still was not coming on.
So I unplugged it and replugged it into the charger. This time the red light blinked twice and then the white battery sign came up. Only difference is that now a fully charged white battery sign keeps blinking (no red light anymore). When I try to turn it on it reaches the Google Logo before shutting down again.
Would like advice on if I should go about opening up my phone (I prefer not to obviously) or just charge it for 8 or so hours before taking any further action.
Thanks in Advance
EDIT:
I used http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/312151-solved-nexus-4-wont-turn-charge.html and was able to boot into bootloader mode however, it still doesn't go past the google logo when I select the 'Start' option.
EDIT 2:
Revived phone using above. Close thread.

Last night my x1 was fine, before I went to bed, I turn the whole thing off and charge it with the charger. This morning I can't boot up the device at all. Tried remove the battery and put it back still no go.
I notice one thing if I have the charger still connecting to the phone and when I press the power button on the upper right, i see 3 red blinks from the side panel, but again, phone won't power up. What does the red blink means?
I have this phone only 4 days. Should I send it back to manufacture?
you can try to hardreset it
the manual should state how cant renember
somewhere under the batt pressing something
I had the same problem - occasional three red lights flash, occasional red light under power button. I solved the problem by using the search

Never fear all is ok
Perhaps this should be added to the wiki in the trouble shooting section - seems a few people have had this issue?
I charged my phone before I went to bed last night and then left it unplugged (not charging) when I went up stairs to sleep. When I woke up this morning my phone was off, so I tried turning it on and I kept getting 3 blinking red lights on the power button. I tried it several times and it wouldn't turn on, just blinked at me. So I held the button down for about 10 seconds, after about 3 or 4 more of the 3X blinking red lights I get no response. Just that dead feeling you get when one of your electronics no longer works.
So I go down stairs and plug it in to charge and leave it for a bit, a while later I was able to turn it on. Found the battery at 2%, thought that was odd since I was at 100% when I went to bed and had the screen off all night (to my knowledge).
Is the blinking red light serious or does it just mean "your battery is so low your phone can't turn on"?
If the light blinks red it can mean several things. In your case it is not serious, i had this problem myself and i have searched for it, i found threads of people having the same issue and their phone came back to life after a few hours of charging.
So actually its just the battery being dead, it needs more charging even too show the charging progress screen lol.
In my experience the light also blinks red when you flash a firmware version of the xperia arc on your xperia play (lol XD).
The blinking red lights are an indication that your phone battery is drained and needs to be charged before the phone can switch on. There's nothing wrong with your phone.
thanks for the reassurance guys

same happend to me after flash, any idea to fix my old ultra z? I need it for testing an old app
I was using my phone for a while, up until I had to put it in my bag and when I returned it was just fine. After a while when I went to check the time me and my friend noticed the phone was blinking red! I was about to freak out we tried to boot it a couple of times but it wouldn't work! up until it did and we saw the google logo and it booted up safely, I was in a relief. So a few hours later when my device was on my desk for a while, I came back and found out the red light blinking again! So I tapped the power button and found out the phone was still on, It never even turned off! The red light was also gone afterwards. It was weird, It would've shut down wouldn't it?
Anyways, what could possibly be wrong with my phone? I don't want to be the next victim in the red light category!
Is there something I can do about it to make sure it won't happen in the future?
No, there isn't really anything you can do. If you installed light flow or something similar it could have been blinking red because a light flow event was triggered.

Hi,
I've been using a Nexus 4 since 3.5 years and suddenly one day the phone started to misbehave. It started showing the charging sign without being connected to the charger and the next day it wasn't charging above 20%.
It isn't switching on now.
When I connect it with the charger, for a few seconds a very dim green led blinks and then goes off.
Sometimes the charging sign does show up but within a few minutes it goes off.
Once or twice I don't know how I reached the boot screen and came across the 'Android is optimizing' thing but the phone again switched off around optimizing app 150 of 173.
I purchased a new original battery from the LG service center but it also didn't help.
The reply I got from the service center was that they're unable to understand the issue with my phone.
Also,
I've noticed that the green led brightens up when I press the cable too hard but then automatically goes off or dims.
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Current situation of your phone MUST be like this:
- Not able to boot at all
- Not recognized by PC
- No chance of fastboot mode
- Does not charge a bit
- Dimmed red light when charged
- Charging never ends but phone heats up
- Happened all of this out of nowhere
Solution:
Drain your phone's battery entirely. To do this, you need to keep your phone idle. Don't charge. Allow at least 12 to 20 hours. Now press power switch ONCE, a big red "Low Battery" indicator shows up. Be careful now. Put to charging using ONLY USB connected to a computer. Do not use anything else!
Remember battery light will go from dimmed red to bright red! This is your first hint of moving forward.
After about 2-5 minutes a red and green battery animation shows up. After about 10-20 minutes the usual white colored battery indicator shows up. Charge for another 30 minutes.
Switch on.
