My power button gradually died over a week after having the phone since release. I took it all apart and let the power button and the little thing attached to it soak in pure alcohol and alcoholed the parts near the power button, it still doesn't work.
Everything else works however, screen starts charging when I plug it in,etc. Is there any way to turn on the Nexus 4 without the power button so I can use it again?
Thank you
just short the 2 golden contacts in the mobo(its what power button does '-') till it turns on

Well I didnt even do it on a rom flash. All I did was start installing MS net compact on my mda since I needed it to run a new program. As it was installing I hit the camera button while setting it on the desk by mistake and the screen slowly faded out to black. MDA wont restart now, wont even power on and I cant even get to the bootloader mode using the power button and camera button. GRRRRRRRRRRR Any ideas?
completely discharged battery?
no, fully charged. I said screw it and took a circuit board out of a busted screen mda I had laying around that I bought for 20 bucks off a guy. Of course the volume tab was broke off the slider in that one so now I dont have a way to use the slider. You just cant win I quess. It least it boots fine with the other board in it. Anyone know of a fix for a broke volume slider?
Take off the battery for half an hour or so, then try to start the WIZ again afterwards!
While removing the battery hold the power button and continiue to hold it for 30 seconds after you removed the battery! Leave the device without the battery for at least 30 minutes!
When placing the battery back in to the device hold the power button before doing so and keep holding the power button while putting in the battery. Wait a few seconds when done and try then to power on the device!
If nothing happends press and hold the CON button on the left together with the VOICE DIAL button on the right and make a reset while holding those buttons.
Let me know if it worked!
Do I have a brick too
I tryied to install a rom and after following all the instructions I made a hard reset then my phone stay's in the boot screen without continuing!!; my question is do I have a brick or there's a way out!!

Hi guys, I hope I can type this coherently.
I have a g3 wizard that I have flashed many times over the last year or so. Lately the power button has stopped working. I can get the phone to turn on by plugging it in, and then holding in the camera/voice buttons and THEN hitting the power button. It goes into the rainbow screen, and I just soft reset via the hole on the side. At that point it is on and running fine, but the power button does nothing.
The power button does nothing at all unless I plug the phone in, and then only if I go to bootloader. It seems to work just fine to do that-which is what is stumping me. I thought the button was just broken. The charge/battery lights do come on.
For now I have it set to never turn off, so I try to make sure it doesn't run too low. The battery life seems ok. Any tips? I want to be able to put the phone to sleep again...
thanks
Hello. I accidentaly left my phone on the ground and there was juice on the ground. In the morning my phone's power button didn't work (always being pressed inside). I believe that juice flooded holes around power button, and somehow damaged it. Next day power button was working fine, BUT my phone was totally frozen. I can turn on device now normally and, then I need to enter PIN code - all the numbers, letters, volume buttons don't work, only power button is fine.
Help, please!
I'm having an issue where I have to long hold on the power button to turn on my nexus. I turn it off because I dont use it so often, but it makes me wonder if theres some sort of fault? There is charge in the device, and this has happened the last 4 times over the past week, and only once did it turn on with a one second hold of teh button (the day after purchase)
Thanks
Hey, my Nexus 4 died a month ago. i have tried many things from the internet, and none of them worked.
When i'm holding the volume down + power button, and inserting the USB cable, the red light is coming up, and it's Solid Red Light, and after about 10-15 second, it disappear. i sent it to one private lab, and they didn't succeed to fix it.
what can i do??
*Note: i'm going to give the device to another Lab - but i still want to hear you people
Simulate a battery pull by holding volume UP and power button simultaneously for one minute, see if that helps get you back running to the point you can at least charge it up and factory reset.
I've had the Red light of dead yesterday because i had critical battery level and didnt charge
I responsed immediately and pressed volume down + power and it entered

And then connected the charger and pressed power button again to select START
It booted and started charging
