Do you get the RED LED showing when you plug in?
Mike
Battery could be SHOT.

The device should show the red LED when not charging or the battery is not inserted, unless:
1
The charger is blown
2
A component is blown on the device.
As you have tried two chargers I suggest it is a device component and therefore a repair job. As a last thing to try you could try the hard reset key and stylus combination.
Mike
I really dont where i can repair my device ;p
Can people from holland suggest me a repear place in the north?
thnx all in advanced, i will wait one more night
Well after a month of waiting i finally got a new phone!
There was a blown component and the repair compagny of my provider ask me to pay 230 euro's because it was a 'level 3' repair.
But my mobile provider didnt agree with the repair price so finally i didnt had to pay after all!
Windows Mobile 5 is on it So i'm going to flash!
Thnx to all,

My Opinion
been running through threads all over, just found out that there is no solution, because when a program pushes the unit to wake up from standby it freezes, this program can be weather, alarm, mail, active sync, and even a CALL can cause this, so it's a permanent bug in wm6 and PPC :-(
First than nothing, sorry for my bad english.
My N4 got bricked, the problem seems to be the battery because when plug in to the AC charger the LED blinks red and nothing else happens, other members have the same problem.
There is few post about it

So after try everything my nexus 4 seems to be dead, I decide to RMA but I don't know some details, and maybe you can help me
First, what I think I have to do:
I live out of USA, so I shipped my N4 to my cousin, he was who bought the N4, when he get my N4 then he will do the steps that Google tell him.
My doubt is:
1 - My bootloader is unlocked when my N4 start with the issue, perhaps Google can not turn on the device and be aware of it because the phone is fried, so if they can not detect that the bootloader is unlocked my RMA is free? (Assuming you have the bootloader unlocked means forfeiting RMA)
2- If they detect that my bootloader is unlocked, they will ignore this? Google will send me a replacement device? Although i going to be charged again (Assuming that Google is left with the charge of money they make to your account which remain in hold)
3- The replacement device is now yours? Or is just four use while Google check the original device?
4- How long take the whole process ?
So, this is all my questions by the moment, thank you and sorry for bad english, I used a little bit of Google Traductor.

1.you have to call google for an rma
2.in my case, the send me a new one, including an envelope and the freightpapers for the old one
3. they authorize 349 euro on your credit card, but they just authorize it,they dont take it
4.if you receive the new device, you have to send the old device back to them within 21 days, otherwise they will take the 349 euros from your credit card
5. pray that they cant turn it on and you are good to go and you dont have to pay for it
6. in betwen 14 days you can keep the new device, dont know how they handle it over 14 days sorry
hope i could clearify some things lol
I live in Germany, had similar problems and doing the rma rightnow, too.
The replacement nexus 4 that you will get is yours. Until they checked your first nexus 4, they block the money for your replacement.
If your warranty isn't valid or the defect isn't covered by the warranty they will charge you for the replacement device.
Let's hope they cannot turn our devices on to check for an open bootloader

Dont take a chance ! If you didn't send your device yet...
plug it into PC while holding ( VOL - )! JUST VOLUME DOWN ! no POWER KEY !
and when in fastboot mode, do :
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Dont take any chances ! ... They are super genuis ! I guess they can do anything to check the LOCK status !

Well bro, my phone its on the way to USA, but when my cousin get it, I'll tell that and lets see what happends...
I had no issues on 1836. I was on it all late last night. It was until I opened that benchmark app that went haywire.
Mentioned this in the other thread as well, but any idea what bin your CPU is?
Hey guys im in the same boat currently doing RMA. I have no red LED phone wont charge or turn on so hoping that Google cant either and Warranty holds.
No idea what bin I am im afraid. I have a hunch its fast or faster as I couldn't run matr1x v4.0 kernel and other people who also couldnt were fast bin (think it was due to the voltage tables).
RED LED fixed
hey guys, i've read a lot of threads about this red led issue and having the only solution was to RMA it.
just remebered the time when i had a RED LED after replacing my framework.apk that i have found in one the forums, after replacing the framework.apk, my phone cant respond to anything (screen touches and even power and volume button was not working) and after a minute my phone turned off. and i cant get it to turn on so i was panicking a bit knowing that i cant RMA my phone cause i only had my phone from my mother in UK and i'm in philippines so i plug my phone on the wall then the LED flashes RED ......
to make the long story short i tried everything to revive my phone and wugfresh's toolkit saved it, after a couple things the toolkit manages to flash the stock rom on my phone i was relieved.
that was just my experience, hope it help you guys

i used the "flash stock +unroot"
shaded the soft-bricked/boot loop
Sent my device in for RMA over a week ago. Bootloader was unlocked and custom rom loaded. Same red light problem everyone else is having. Also ordered my replacement device which is still on back order.Charges have now cleared my credit card so no worries just in case anyone is worried they will not honor the warranty because you have unlocked and rooted the phone .Called google to find out where my replacement device is yesterday and they said that even the rma devices are on back order for 1 to 2 more weeks which really sucks!
So basically everyone here crashed their car ,it was their own fault, car not had an insurance and you expect to get a new one pretending it was manufacturing fault ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
You make too many assumptions, friend.
1. Not everyone browsing this topic has crashed their phone. I popped in while searching for Wug and toolkit, for instance.
2. It's their own fault: you know what "everyone here" did? Their phone use, their setup?
2a. It may not be manufacturing issue as much as a design flaw. Microsoft's Xbox "circle of death" comes to mind; this could be LG's version of that.
The Nexus line is known as the dev's phones, and devs push limits; that's inherent to development. Even experienced devs like Faux have had red LEDs.
The inability to yank the battery as a hard reset has always troubled me in this kind of environment. I hope Google's next phone corrects this

Mine Nexus got the red led just now, never rooted, everything stock
[Update: after sometime connected to the computer the battery charging icon appeared and it booted]
Update on my RMA process. I noticed today that I have a new pending $299 authorization on my card and I am trying to find out why. The original $299 authorization that was placed on my card when I first started the RMA has now cleared because I had already sent the defective device back for repair and a few days later the pending charge went away. Now I am wondering why in the hell they placed a new $299 charge again even though my replacement device has not even shipped! Google has really dropped the ball on this whole nexus 4 situation!
If you take it apart and actually take the battery out, as a proper hardware reset, will that work? Anyone tried this?

Seems to be a problem with my phone. Had some 50% charging left but is now powered off. Re-inserted the battery, left it on the charger for 2-3 hours but nothing happening. The power button etc not working? Any idea what's wrong?
I have seen many tutorials regarding this but all of them surfaced to downloading Odin, flashing in recovery/download mode. Bottom line is, nothing works. Even the recovery/download mode don't start. It's like the battery has been removed (which hasn't, incase you were wondering). Any idea what to do? I have rooted & Custom-ROM-ed my phone and my warranty has expired anyway so doubt if the Samsung Service Centres will help here?

Hey mate. Thanks for your advice. I should go the service center tommorow.
But the fact is I can't run download/recovery mode even. And I need to pretty "Enable USB" from my mobile to make sure the link b/w Computer & Mobile via Data Cable is established. So how can I flash it with ODIN? And with these problems, can the service centre flash it even? I got no money and cannot afford to throw this phone
try usb jig
i hope working to ure phone
or u can made it
search in google how to make usb jig

Sorry for a late reply but can you ask that Samsung Representative about any service centres in Lahore, Pakistan? Samsung Site doesn't seem to show any :\ I showed it to 1-2 labs (unofficial), and they said this is new. Completely dead...and they said it can't be fixed by them. I am really down that this phones lasted for only 16 months. And don't worry, I can pay anything they want to fix the phone.

man thats crazy .. let us know what have you done
Hi. Hope someone could kindly help me!
My Note 3 is not turning off the lock screen. Its always on!!. If I press the power button the lock screen comes on, after few seconds it quickly flickers (like its trying to close) but turns on again. Its ongoing loop. I have resetted it dozen of times, factory reset now as well but issue remains. I just cant turn the screen off!
It also doesnt want to charge all the time. Is this a USB port issue? I hate to think I need to send it to EE for repairs as its over 1,5 years old and will take at least 2 weeks I think... (cost?)....

Hai,,
Samsung have 2 year warranty within Europe and I dont know outside of Europe, sorry.
But for the phone, if you know that phone havnt been water damaged there shouldn't be any problem, (ALOT) of the Note 3 is water damaged today so be careful with that...same goes if your phone is rooted, could end up paying for the repairs instead.
Phonewise: Broken PBA/powerbutton and a bad USB port..
Hi Im in UK.
However there is absolutely no water damage at all. Its been very well cared for, it looks like brand new including the screen. Thanks

Best would be then to find an authorized samsung service center and either call them and explain your problem or just send the phone to them.
And make sure to have your warranty paper near hand. They might ask for it ://

Hi. Yes tried without the lockscreen - same issue. Also with another Lockscreen,,, with no help. The screen just doesnt turn off!
Wonder if its a hardware issue - eg usb port? I tried to clean it the best I can, but doesnt help.
As said Samsung offer a limited 24 months warranty .
But root or custom roms etc will void .
The vendor EE is an alternative but under Sale Of Goods Act you will have to prove that the product should have lasted longer etc via an engineers report .
Hi all
This is what I done. I took the Note 3 to Samsungs repair centre. Shortly: they said they probably need change the usb port and screen and will be done by end of day. No calls nothing. Next day I pop in they say its not been done as there is water damage!!! They show pics of corrosion inside the phone, I believe and leave. They quoted fix it outside warranty to £180.
I go to ebay and bought a new usb port for less than fiver. Changed it today, was 15min job. The phone charges ok I think now, but the screen still not turning off!!! Im gutted.
Interestingly I didnt see any sign of that corrosion when replacing the usb... hmmm... cheeky Samsung repair guys? The phone never seen water, believe me.
Any ideas whats next... I cant afford a new phone or buy new screen.
Thanks
Water damage is part of the repair check list and immediately voids warranty .
Not much you can do if you cannot buy a screen .
Plus water damage may be internal damage and not the screen at all .
I do agree with what you say of course. However I never dropped the phone in water. I did buy the explanation of shower mist or something if the phone was nearby, they showed me pics they took inside of the phone: however when open it up this morning I didnt see any of the corrosion. Have I been tricked or am I blind... :/
Hello All,
I have a 45 day aged brand new 6P which suddenly shut down. Thinking of low battery i charged it for 15 mins then starts trying to restart, but it's not at all responding. so there after i follwed a few steps like pressing Home button and Volume(down down) and tried several times but nothing is happening.
I bought it from India and currently i m in Netherlands , my seller denied global warranty.
So i am in a big problem and no helps coming from neither seller neither manufacturer.
As a last hope i am posting in your group, if you can help me.
Thanks,

So what is the color? No seriously im interested, cause i never heard about "special ediition" and i think you just got scammed. Is it gold? That explains it then, just realised some folks called it special edition, my bad. Tho its same phone as any other 6p
I've heard similar situations... Try pressing the power button for ~10 minutes. Hope it'll help :/
yeah , tried several times... phone not responding anything ....
Issue is still there , i tried to charge it whole night then again tried but no results. It remained dead, not a single vibration.
Can someone guide me to get a global warranty.
Will it boot to recovery or bootloader?
Yes i tried but no result, phone is not responding at all.
From where did you bought it exactly?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs
I bought it from India, an online store called www.flipkart.com
Just an FYI for all those who are wondering what the 'special edition' is all about. It's just another name given to the Gold variant of Nexus 6P in India.
yes u r right , its Gold one
I heard a very strange thing that indian phone charger might face issues with European electricity frequency ?
How much correct is it ??
My phone says
INPUT;100-240V~50/60Hz,0.5A
OUTPUT:5A---3A
it it a reason my phone not charging as the charger is not able to work ?
Any Idea Guys.
I had this same issue 2 days ago. Phone died and wouldn't cut on. Charged it and everything. Did some googling and found a solution. Use the USB cable that came with the phone and plug it into the phone and boot your computer or laptop to the BIOS and let it charge. In about 5-10 mins you should see the battery icon pop up. Once you do turn the phone on and let it charge through the PC, or a car charger. I used a car charger cause it was faster. Idk if this is an issue with the charger or the phone but this worked for me. Hopefully this helps.
:good:
Sounds more like the Special Edition is the one that doesnt work , stick with the normal version
