So I woke up this morning and grabbed my phone after it had been on charge all night, I was surprised to see that it was only showing 22% full. A couple of seconds after I disconnected it from the charger the phone instantly powered off, no shutdown, just straight to black screen. I switched it back on, it booted up correctly, then as soon as it got to the home screen, it completely died again. If I plug it back in it powers on and works fine, but as soon as I disconnect it dies.
I'm assuming this is a hardware fault and I'll need to send it in for service, has anyone else had a similar issue? When I shake it next to me ear I can hear something rattling inside it. The phone hasn't been dropped and is in immaculate condition.
The rattle is normal. The shutdowns aren't. RMA time.
Have you tried a different battery? Based on those symptoms it sounds like a failing battery. I'd try to rule that out if you haven't already, before you go the rma route

Lol.
Having the same problem here, I left it on the charger overnight and woke up with 64%.
Rebooted and it was still the same, deleted batterystats.bin and now charging it again and going to see what the problem is after ruling out the software part, hopefully not a hardware problem because this phone is perfect.
Called support, they are setting up an RMA. Pain in the butt!
Ok, so at one point, my Nexus 7 started taking about 9 hours to fully charge using the stock charger and usb cable. I thought my charger was dead so I bought a 2.1 amp amazon basics charger with a 6 foot amazon basics usb cable. It still takes hours to charge. I read online that there was a bug with Android 4.2 and charging. The reason this CANT be a hardware issue, is because it happoned out of the blue. Didn't drop it, didn't jerk the cable or bend it in the inside or anything. So what's going on? Please help!
Thanks in advance!

If its broke order another from Asus and get another nexus 7 USB also try Franco kernel or a different rom. Franco kernel charges very fast.

The "magic" way - open the back cover (2 screws), disconnect the battery flex cable, reconnect it, close the back cover and....viola.

No, as long as they didn't know you opened it.
Are you sure the phone doesn't turn on or is it a black screen. Did you try holding Power + Volume Down to get into the fastboot menu? From there you can use fastboot to flash recovery, which is the recommended way.

It happens. Battery stats in our device isn't too accurate. I've had that a couple of times. In fact, when my Nexus 7 2012 runs out of battery and I don't charge it for 4 hours or so it always needs half an hour to turn on.
Just let charge it completely. And then try to turn it on again. I experienced the same thing with twrp 2.6. asking me to fix the root part and then I did not boot up again.I just uninstalled it afterward. I rather use CWM. I like it better. Might be a battery issue, but CWM have not given me any warning with root fix.
Just my personal experience. :good:

Waited about 8 hours, but still nothing. Btw i did connect it to my PC, and it says searching drivers for QHSUSB_DLOAD. I think i have a hardbrick here. Can i solve this myself, or do i have to send it for repair?

I had a similar issue, I ran antutu and my phone went into a coma, no button combos were working and when I plugged in my phone I got the flashing red death light. But like PsyOr says just take of the back undo the two little screw's the hold the battery connector on, pop it off the put it back on and you're good. Worked like a charm for me.

Actually seems like a hard brick. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347060 try this.
And don't forgot to thank that guy, it's a brilliant post
No, its not a hardbrick, its the red light issues which is well known. Just remove the battery and reinsert it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250454
A hardbrick is when a piece of hardware stop working completely and needs to be physically replaced, I don't know why people like to use that term for anything.

That doesn't explain why the pc is asking him to use drivers for download mode. If the phone really dint have enough battery shouldn't it have not connected to the pc.
Also the device will be hard bricked even if a wrong kernel/rom is flashed. But it can be unbricked by the above method.
Try the Nexus 4 toolkit. There are options to re-install everything up again. If you are sure that your battery is in good working order, then it might be software related issue. I don't think it's a hardware problem.

If you are in download mode as indicated by your pc detecting the phone as QHUSB_DLOAD this is not the common battery fault.
You will likely get here by the bootloader failing
At this point you are more bricked than a general soft brick. But still not completely hard bricked.
There is a very useful thread in the general section about how to fully flash using download mode.
You can find the info below, note that there are a lot of steps involved so if your not confident. Rma is probably your best bet

I have just received the above charger.
But when ever i put the Nexus 4 (Android 4.4.2) on the pad, the charging bolt goes on and off every 5 seconds. eventually the phone is not charging. Anyone else facing or faced this kind of problem? Anyone can help me out?
Hi,
I also ordered this charger some time ago (looks nearly identical to the original one).
With Nexus 4 I had no success charging.
First the phone always slips down after some minutes. When fixing it a bit, green light of charger was ok, phone also recognizes the charger with a sound. It also displays "charging" but does not really do so. So if placed for some hour, there was still the same percentage or less in the phone display.
On the other side, I gave the charger to a friend who owns a Nexus 7 , and he says that the tablet was fully charged.
I also got this chgr few days ago and greatly disappointed. I downloaded an ap sometime ago that was supposed to help with wireless chgring. It does. I found it on here. But for life of me can't find it again. Search for wireless charging app? On xda

I just bought the Samsung Wireless Fast Charging Pad but notice that it only charges 12% after 30 minuets meaning a full charge will take up 4-5 hours! Is this acceptable? I use the original charger that comes with the S8.
No it's not. Return it and get a new one. Also, you are using the Samsung cable too right ?

I use the Samsung cable that comes with the wireless charger and the phone shows fast charge during charging. I'll try one more time and if there's no improvement, I'll return it..
of course return it. I get it to 100% in under 3h with Choetech charger on a regular charge (no fast charge activated)
