hi all, today when my nexus 7 left around 15% battery, it showed the warning sign to ask me charge it, so i thought of finish download 1 small apps before charging it. just before i hit the install button, the screen suddenly turn off and whole device was power off.
i tried to on it back (press for 30sec) but no use. so i go and charge it, after trying many times, i finally managed to on it back, but just after few minutes, the screen appear many lines ( just like those old tvs) and it turn off again...then, i tried many times only i managed to on it back.
after that, i continue to leave it there to charge. but after almost 4 hrs( and still counting), the battery only 45%.
wat had happen to my nexus 7? previously i had no such issues, and normally i can fully charge it within 3 hrs. i just got it for 1 week, can anyone tell me what happened? will it damaged my device?
thanks.
no people facing same issue as me?
hey there, im facing the exact same issue and symptoms as you!
the sudden off, the old screen tv effect and shuts down again.
a battery logo appeared though and im leaving it to charge now. strangely it was showing 18%
im running cm10, what about you?
I've had the same issue for first 2 times I charged the Nexus, then it went away. Seems to be battery related, faulty battery?
Same thing happens to me as well. Happened on stock 4.1.2 and happens on stock 4.2 as well. I never try to let it reach below 20%, just to be on the safe side.
Me too!

It happens to me too
Not sure if it's battery related but it happened twice and this is what my battery graph looks like.
Anybody with more info?
I am also on CM10 using setCPU app to control CPU speed when the power is low.
There is one other thread talking about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34878700#post34878700
I placed my info there too.
Edit: It's actually happened the last 3 days now ... I'm going to exchange it today.
I get a message "shutting down, low battery" I used to get message telling me to connect to charger. Before I could finish what I was doing now I have no choice. Seems to happen after update 4.3
fix
somehow the battery calibration is out. only fox is to leave it charging for about 20 mins before trying to turn it on. as by then only will the 'x' logo appear. OR if you cant wait popout the back cover, remove/unplug the battery it works. another longer fix is to. turn in back on after it is able to, go to battery settings refresh it, plgg and unplug your charger. the shutdown logo should appear again and when you look to the top, the battery % will revert to its correct amount of 0% try to do this as soon as it is able to be turned on.
Hey guys, been using my Focus for about 2 years with no problems, last week it randomly shut off. I plugged it in to let it charge, I got the Samsung logo for about 4 seconds and then a black screen. Every now and then it would turn on and show a low battery screen for a few seconds, then shut off again.
Plugging it in and charging it did nothing, so I ordered a new battery
Swapped out batteries and nothing, same problem. Sometimes when I plug it in, I don't even get the Samsung logo. It's all very hit and miss. Not sure what to do here, seems like the phone is a goner but I'd figure I'd see if anyone here can help.
Cheers.
Hey everyone, Im having a problem thats making me worry. I was using my phone today and for some reason the phone wont turn on after I turned it off. I havent dropped the phone at all and it hasnt been abused in any way. The last thing I was doing before I turned it off was trying to send feedback for the Yahoo Mail app because it wouldnt sync automatically, but even that was unsuccessful because it wouldnt send. So I thought I should just reboot it but afterwards its not turning on at all.
I tried holding the power button for at least 20 seconds and still nothing is happening, and I tried plugging in the power cord to see if that would help but it hasnt. Has anyone gone through a similar issue? Please Help
Thanks.
Leave it plugged in for fifteen minutes without touching it.

Try holding volume up + power to see if you can get into recovery then reboot from there.
Also, give some more details about your setup...
Rooted/Stock/What Rom/Kernel?
Yea I left it alone for a bit and then I held the power button while holding down both volume rockers and somehow it turned on. I dont know why this happened but I'm just glad it turned back on, it gave me a good scare though. I just hope it doesnt happen again
Mine is completely stock, I havent done anything with it yet
And may I ask what was your battery percentage level like after the short charge? Maybe the phone drained it all just being turned off... There were some cases of this here...
i wanted to add that i had a similar problem with my phone not turning back on. However, I managed to fix what was wrong by just plugging in the usb cable. I know you've tried it, but just in case someone else stumbles upon this thread (like me!) and has a problem turning on their nexus, I wanted to share my experience.
I haven't done anything to my phone other than add my old apps to my Nexus since I received it 1.5 weeks ago. It's stock. I've never dropped it or gotten water on it or anything. I charged it overnight last night and stuck it in my purse on the way to work. I think I briefly saw a working screen after I unplugged it this morning. However, the first time I tried to access my phone today was after I got to work. It wouldn't turn on, though that pinkish light at the bottom was still blinking. I tried calling it and the Nexus wouldn't ring even though the call went through a few rings and then onto voicemail. I tried holding down the power button for a while and also holding the power button with the volume keys to see if that would work, and it did not. Finally I borrowed a usb cable to plug it in, hoping the jolt of power would wake it up. That worked. It gave me the charging symbol for a little bit and then gave me the startup/loading screen with the glowing x made of arrows. I checked my battery and it was at full charge. Well, it was at 85%, which is odd since I plugged it in for about 9 hours last night to charge and there has only been 3 hours of non-use since I unplugged it. Also, if it was really turned off during those 3 hours it shouldn't have ate up any battery. Anyway, I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents in case anyone else has this problem. My brother, who gave me the Nexus, told me that he only has 2 weeks to return it if there's something wrong with it or I don't like it. Needless to say this gave me a scare, since the 2 weeks is almost up.

Yes this happened to me the other night. I was making a phone call and accidentally hit the power button. I then tried to turn the screen back on in order to hang up the phone and it would work. I tried holding the button for 15 seconds, tried pressing the volume up/down keys, and still nothing. I then put it back in my pocket for a minute or so and tried again. When I did that the screen came back on and the call was still active. Very strange, and I hope it doesnt happen again....

Same thing is happening to me right now.
Running stock. Not rooted. Phone charge was around 70% and I was on twitter and the app force closed. So I decided to restart my phone then went to turn it back on and it wont respond. Tried holding down the power button for 20 sec. Volume up and power, volume down and all 3 at the same time. Still nothing. Leaving it on the charger for awhile and the screen is blank no battery logo or anything.
Not quite sure what to do now?
That's scary

I get the same. I use Dophin Browser . After that i reboot my Nexus 4.
I try to hold Power Button for 1 minutes or more. But nothing change. I
I try hold Power + Volum Down - or Volum + but get same result.
I plug in Adater and wait for it. I will check it 2 hour later.
My Nexus 4 use Stock Rom, Rooted. and this first i get this problem. Please advise me on this case. Thank
:laugh:
I'm having similar problems. Lots of random rebooting and refusals to turn back on sometimes, even though the LED at the bottom is flashing so i know the phone is still powered up. Also, sometimes when i have it plugged into a computer through usb it will get extremely hot and completely shut down, not turning back on for a long time. I called the google play store and someone is going to get back to me. I love my nexus 4 so i hope i can get this fixed or a replacement.
Nexus 4 crashed and would not power on

I had this issue too a couple of times playing Pandora through my car's Bluetooth. That was when the Nexus 4 had 4.2.1. I have not had this issue with Pandora since the upgrade to 4.2.2.
However, I just now had this issue with Movie Studio app and exporting a video I edited. It turned off its screen like normal screen timeout but then would not come back on.
I had to Volume Up + Power button for a few seconds and then release to get it to reboot.
This same thing is happening to me. Haven't found a specific cause...
Just got the same issue
Today got mine not turning on.
Managed to turn it on by holding volume up and power button together for about 30 seconds while phone was on a stock charger. After that I saw blinking orange led. When I resolved buttons there was a battery pictogram. After pressing and holding power button I finally got turning on vibration and Google logo.
The only things a made after the charging were making few photos of my cat (from the lock screen) viewing them in gallery. Then I locked the screen and put the phone on a shelf. In a hour I was not able to turn it on.
My phone has stock rom and only few third party apps installed.
I got muy Nexus 4 on 21-Dec-2012. 4 days ago I flashed to Android 4.2.2 which phone dowloaded itself. After flashing phone was rebooted.
What I noticed is that it shows 70% battery. But It was fully charged few hours ago.
30% in 2 hours! In my opinion some service/app drained these 30% by using 100% of processing power that caused overheating and/or hanging.
I too have just had this problem. And I've had it previously when making calls, the screen simply won't respond at all, its quite annoying.
This morning my alarm went off and the screen wouldn't turn on, it went on for so long I almost threw the phone across the room. I eventually held the power button and volume down/up button and then the led blinked orange a few times and the phone reset, now it seems fine.
Its a very annoying problem, and could be very serious depending on what you are doing, might have to phone the play store and tell them.

This has happened to me twice now. First time was a month ago and the second time was this morning. Phone was at 100% just woke up checked my messages turned off phone 10 min later it will not turn on. Un plugged cord re plugged cord nothing finally pressed up/down vol and power for about a minute (long minute) and the phone rebooted. YIKES!
Every thing seems normal now but I hate that scare and the fact that it has happened to me twice. Full Stock, not rooted.

Happened second time.
I was able to turn it on again by following the same steps. But this time I got some strange issue: after resolving vol+ and power buttons I saw battery pictogram with some frame with a blue background; when phone finally booted up this frame and blue background were visible through the my desktop background an screen itself was much lighter with pure colors. Only after about 5 soft resets screen seems to became nice again. Each reboot caused blue frame to become less visible. I'm confused and worried.
Also during all these reboots this frame with blue background was visible even in behind "Google" and "X" logos during booting up.
Another strange thing is that on screenshots I made this frame is not visible.
That would have to do with LCD or software..
As the battery & Google are just pictures that change. If you understand what in saying lol ?
Nexusâ´
So one morning I woke up to turn on my Nexus 7 (16gb wifi) only as usual and found that the screen put out some random lines or garbled. The kind of stuff you see on a TV without an input. Did a restore of complete stock and still same thing. I then left it there for about 3 days to drain complete battery. When I get to it the next 3 days, before I plug it in to recharge, I held down POWER+VOL DOWN and plug it in. Now it goes into recovery, and I did a POWER OFF, waited few seconds and Power it up to turn on as normal...amazingly the sucka came back to life.
Phew...I thought I have to RMA it.
Thought I throw it out there in case someone has the same issue.
Had this happen exactly to me today while watching Netflix. Had it working fine for 4months. All of a sudden I'm stuck on the glowing X. Every so often after restarting it, I would go into the 'static tv' screen. Still haven't been able to resolve it. Been trying to solve it all day.
Use the search feature. Your problem has been posted about and the solution given repeatedly. Good luck!
Hi everybody.
Seems I'm in bit of a predicament.
I've flashed the latest Resurrection Remix rom with learnkernel 2.5 on my note 3 over the weekend and all seemed fine. I let my battery run flat to give the phone a fresh charge just a few minutes ago and the usual happed - upon charging, the battery charge logo displayed on the screen (albeit not updating). I know this is normal. So I went about my business. A few minutes later, I turned back to the phone and saw the display not showing anything. My initial thought was "ok, phone probably went to sleep". Nope, as it turned out the phone is completely dead. Won't turn on at all. Took the battery out and put it in again after n minute and it still won't turn on. I hope to god there's a way of getting my baby to boot up, otherwise it seems my phone just bricked itself? This is the first time something like this has happened in all the years of me flashing my devices.
I can't post on the RR nor LeanKernel forum for advice as I don't have enough posts on the site to do so.
Anyone else had similar issues and is there a way to remedy the situation?
fixed

Found the problem. Seems my charger is messed-up. Popped in a normal USB2 cable and the phone is up and going again.
Sorry for causing any inconveniences.
Have a good day.
