My phone's battery died so i plugged it in and when i did, the bootlogo appeared for around 5 seconds then disappeared. This repeated for hours. I tried pressing Power+down for 10 seconds and this resulted in the screen turning off and the led flashing red. I tried again and this resulted in the bootlogo issue. After several hours of charging, results are no different. Phone is completely unresponsive when not plugged in. Please help.
UPDATE: Managed to boot into recovery and reflashed my rom (SOKP D801), but no change. Is this rom broken and will a different rom fix the issue? Also, i can't seem to enter recovery again. (Note: rom is discontinued by developer and website is gone.)
UPDATE 2: Phone randomly started working again for no apparent reason. To avoid the original issue, should I switch roms?
did you tried hard reset?...
If your phone is on, turn it off.
Press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons, and then press and hold the Power button at the same time until the phone turns on. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow around it.
Press the Volume Down button twice to highlight "Recovery mode."
Press the Power button to start Recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark and the words "No command."
While holding the Power button, tap the Volume Up button once.
Use the volume buttons to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power button to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press the Power button to select it.
Note: If your phone becomes unresponsive at any point during these steps, you can restart it by holding down the Power button for several seconds.
The button combination resulted in a hardware control menu, not recovery

I tried following these instructions, but still haven't succeeded
1. Power the device off. Take the battery out if it won’t turn off normally.
2. Power the device on.
3. When the logo appears, press and hold the Menu button.
4. Continue holding the Menu button until you see the home screen.
The words Safe Mode should appear in the lower left corner if you performed the steps correctly.
The menu button is the 2nd one from the left?
Hi, all.
After Android 4.2 update I can barely hear any sound coming out of my N7 speaker. I mean, literally - I have to put my ear next to it to hear anything (but there is some sound, just really quiet). With my headphones the sound is fine though.
I tried resetting to factory defaults, but that didn't fix it. I tried using Volume+ for increasing max volume, but that changed almost nothing.
What can I do?
Hi.
Did you try a hard reset, as described on google support ? :
######
If your tablet is on, power it off.
Press and hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power until the device powers on. You should see an image of an Android lying on its back.
Press Volume Down twice, until the screen says "Recovery mode."
Press Power to restart into "Recovery mode." You should see an image of an Android with a Red triangle after a few minutes.
While holding down Power, tap Volume Up
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it
Note: If at any point during the above steps your tablet becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the power button for several seconds.
#############
If that doesn't work, I (personally) would try to flash a factory image via fastboot.
If you don't know what this means or you don't want to do this, I would contact your reseller/google for a swap of the device, after you tried the hard reset above.

I'm not sure - does that differ from the factory reset that can be done in Settings? If not, I have already done that.
Well, give it a shot?
Just got the 4.3 update this morning and the first thing I noticed is that the WiFi is having issues. It says its connected to my network but i get no traffic. I have rebooted the router and N7 and it helps for a few minutes but if the tab goes to sleep it will not reconnect. Everything I have read on other sites say its a known problem that Google knows about but this is a really annoying issue. Are their any fixes out there? I have a non- rooted N7 but I will root it immediately if there is a fix.

Called Google Support 1-855-836-3987 (855-83-NEXUS) and this is what they had me do.
Hello Kerry,
Thank you for contacting Google Play! It was a pleasure speaking to you today.
1. Hold power button for 2 seconds and select 'Power Off'
2. Hold 'Volume Down' button and press power button
3. An image of an Android lying on its back will appear.
4. Press the Volume Down key twice until "Recovery mode" appears on the screen.
5. Press the Power key to restart in "Recovery mode."
6. An image of an Android with a red triangle will appear.
7. While holding down the Power key, tap the Volume Up key.
8. The Android System Recovery screen will appear. Release all keys.
9. Use the Volume keys to scroll to wipe data cache partition and press the Power key to select.
10. The phone will restart.
Seems to have done the trick so far but I will update after a day or so if needed.

I guess you never had this issue again?
Thanks!
Hi all,
My new Nexus 7 (2013 model) arrived today, and it seems that it can only boot up through the bootloader menu, i.e. the power button does not work properly. When plugged in, the battery charging icon does appear for a few seconds before disappearing.
The problem is that holding down the power button does not turn the device on. Holding down volume down+power button works correctly and shows the bootloader menu, and from there selecting "Start" is the only way to actually boot the device. When plugged in to a power source (outlet or computer), holding down the power button causes the battery charging icon to appear, disappear, and reappear constantly. Holding down the power button when unplugged shows no response on the screen, even after holding down for a full minute. Once the device is booted, the power button works perfectly for locking, unlocking, and showing the power off menu.
I already tried doing a factory reset, which did not help at all. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
Your best bet is to ask in your device's forum section as this section is for the 2012 version.

My A3 doesn't "wake up" from stand-by.
If I reset it keeping pressed power up button, it correctly reboots, I can see all boot process and it correctly reachs the starting home page.
If I keep touching screen, open apps, navigate from various menu all works fine. But when I leave it without pressing any button/screen for 10/15 sec (display power off delay) the screen correctly goes black, but there's no way to wake up it again although it seems working. The A3 "under" works because plugging to AC Adapter beeps the sound of charging in progress, PC (Kies or SmartSwitch) detect it correctly; only the screen remains black.
I already tried to wipe and even reflashed last firware with Odin but with no luck.
Is there anything else that I can try (except send it to repair center...)?
Thanks in adv

P.S. When I call It from another phone, it rings but the LCD remains black and doesn't respond clicking vol +, vol - and home buttons
P.S. 2 Thinks become "funny": Home button, vol + & vol - don't work at all. Power button powers off display, but long pressing it, doesn't pop up power off/reboot menu. Softkeys don't work.
Sounds like SoD. Try installing the app "Wake Lock" and choose the PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK option.
