Hi All,
My nexus is entirely stock and other than a few side loaded apps is completely normal. Is currently at 4.4.4.
It was working fine today, but suddenly stopped - it was connected to the TV via hdmi.
With the pogo connected, pressing the power button will show a battery with charge symbol (about 3/4).
If I connect it to the pc via usb, the pc does not see the tablet.
I have tried holding the power button down.
I have tried hold vol up + power, vol down + power, vol up and down plus power, in all cases I get no response from the tablet.
I have read many of the entries from search for bricked, most of these are often following some change to the table (unlock, rom, loader etc)
these did not seem to apply in my case.
Is there anything I can do?
cheers
The battery could have completely drained. It happened to mine and wouldn't turn on at all. After I lot of searching it seemed other people had the same problem and the way to resolve it was it to leave it on charge for a long time, hours.. and then try the button combo. It worked for me.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
it is working now.
What I did was a bit old school, I took the back of and disconnected the battery for a few minutes, reconnected it and put it on charge. Am keeping an eye on the battery performance and have found a supplier that has them for around 28 euros including postage, so may give this ago.

My nexus 7 (2012 3G) became unresponsive while I am using it so I pressed the power button for several seconds to restart it. It went off and since then it did not respond to anything.
It is an unrooted nexus 7 using the latest stock android version (4.4.2). I got the the update OTA several months ago and it worked well since then.
I tried the power button for more than 30 seconds, the volume down + power button together for several seconds and the 3 buttons simultaneously (2 volume buttons and power) for several seconds and it did not respond.
I connected it to charger (its original charger but not the original cable. I use this cable since the original one stopped working) for several hours and it did not show any sign of charging and still no response for any buttons.
I connected it to PC and it shows APX mode in device manager and still no response to any button combination while connected to PC. The only thing that happens is that after pressing the power button for around 10 seconds while connected to PC the device gets disconnected and reconnected instantly to PC but no signs of life at all on N7.
I even opened the back of the device to manually disconnect and reconnect battery and nothing happened.
Can anyone help me with this? Is there anyway to get the nexus back to life?
Thanks in advance.
There is a whole tread about this issue on here.
Same thing happened to me.
I could not revive it with all the how to post i read . So i sent my in for service . I bought the Square trade warranty . I sent them a request to tell me exactly what part they replaced or how they got it back on.
If they tell me i will Reply with a answer. I got it back two days ago.

Hi, tfar...
APX mode is suggestive of a dead, corrupted or erased bootloader.
For more details, see my earlier post here, where somebody seems to have had a similar problem.
If your bootloader is truly 'dead', then a return to manufacturer under warranty, is your only real option.
Rgrds,
Ged.

They told me they Replaced the Main Board and Battery at the Repair Facility..Not really sure because of how vague they were about it.
It was same as some of the other post pc would sometimes see it as apx device and sometimes see it as descriptor not found or something like that.
Now its Working perfect . I do believe this is happening when you let the devices battery totally drain and not charging it before you power it on.
Just my opinion.
Hi everyone,
yes this may seem at first similar to several other posts, but rest assured, I have googled from one end of the galaxy to the other and so far no solution has helped me.
Basically, my N7 a month ago was bootlooping loading android, this has happened before and usually i just re-load the factory image and i'm good for another few months. This time however, I was busy and said, no problem, i'll load the image in 2 days or so. By then, my N7 appears off and does not react to me pressing the power button or plugging in the charger. My assumption is it was in my bag and kept bootlooping and eventually drained the battery.
On my google searches, i've noted that there is a huge issue where when the battery drains completed, it is a pain to get it to turn on. Most people seem to be okay letting it charge for a while and holding the power button for 30 seconds or so. I've looked at google's official video about this issue and their steps to fix it, and i have not gotten any of this to work. I've held the power button for not 30 seconds, but several minutes until my finger became sore and it won't turn on. I've also done this holding down the power and the volume up button, volume down button, both etc. all combinations. I've left it on the charger for days and when i unplug and re-plug the charger, i don't get a hint of the screen powering on, let alone the battery charger icon you are supposed to see. I've tried this with my other chargers as well. The n7 charger is fine, i use it for other android devices no problem. If i plug this in the computer, i get a driver install failed error as well.
I've gone as far as taking off the back cover and double checking the battery connection which apparently gets loose quite easily and this is fine. I know my charger is fine, because i use this charger for other phones and they work fine, i've also tried using the usb cable to the computer and that does nothing either.
I would rule out an issue with the usb port on the device itself, because i have the dock which can charge the nexus 7 from the connections on it's side, i think it would be highly unlikely that both these pieces failed.
I am at my wits end, i really liked this tablet and want to salvage it as best i can. Only thing is i can't really do anything with it, all my google accounts are saved on this device and i'd rather not reset all my passwords if i attempt to sell this for parts.
I'd like to know if anyone has any other recommendations on what i could try, even if it is swapping out hardware inside the device. If i can salvage and sell this for something, i am willing to do that, i'm just not sure if it's something with the hardware at this point or if it's that dreaded battery drain issue.
Hey everyone,
I don't know what happened wrong with my interaction with AQUOS, but the phone appears to be bricked.
Here's what happened.
Bought my phone from Boost, successfully switched carrier to Ting
Have been using the phone for more than a month without any problems at all
Yesterday, I left the phone without charging and it fully discharged
I plugged it to charge and came back to turn it on after a few hours later. This is when I noticed it wouldn't turn on.
I tried a couple things: holding the power button for a long time, and a hard reset (volume down button + power button). But the results were the same.
The screen doesn't turn on. While holding the power button or power + volume button, the only feedback from the phone is a series of prolonged vibrations (~10 seconds) separated by a brief pause (~1 second).
Have anyone experienced this problem?
Any advice/insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I've had similiar issues with tablets where it completely drained and wouldn't charge via USB. At most it'd just give off a single vibrate and then die before even flicking on the screen. Try this, plug a USB cable in for a full 24hours before you hit the power button. Then give it a try. If it pops on to the screen where its charging after that let it get a full charge before fully powering on. Hope this helps and also hope its not due to the switch to ting.
Best of luck
PHONE OFF
This could be due to a bad usb connection. some usb when broke will actually discharge your phone or tablet so try to use a different usb. PLZ POST BACK IF THAT DIDNT WORK I HAVE MORE SOLUTIONS
Hi,
I have a nexus 7 2012 and it worked fine and runs CM 12. The other day I powered it off by pressing the power button then clicking the power off option in the power menu. When I turned it back on it didn't boot up and I ended up having to hold the power button for ages. Powered if off again the next day (only use it occasionally) and when I went to turn it back on it didn't boot again. This time though no matter how long I hold the button for or leave it on charge nothing happens.
I've tried everything from trying different charging cables, plugs, plugged it into laptop, pressing power + volume down and even pressing all 3 buttons. I've popped the back off and unplugged then plugged back in the battery. Nothing works there's no sign of life at all, no screen flickers no nothing I'm stumped. Think when I powered it off it was at 15% battery if that makes a difference?
Only conclusion I can come too is that the charging port is broke or the circuit. Sadly I don't have anything I can use to try and charge it using the four pin connector at the side to test it. Only thing I haven't tried is to "jump-start" the battery. Just take out battery and strip a usb cable and plug the power wires directly into the battery for half hour but not to sure whether to do that or not and wanna make sure I have exhausted all other options before trying that.
Any ideas?
So few days ago my phone suddenly turned off and kept rebotting itself (It would reach the samsung galaxy logo and then turn off). I thought it was a battery issue so I removed it for 30mins and tried again, worked fine for an hour then problem started again. I left it over night to charge in the wall socket incase.
Same issue next morning and no solution.
I replaced the battery with a friends and the same issue happened on my phone (i used my battery on his and it works fine on his) so I removed the issue of battery itself.
That evening the phone then just stopped responding at all. It would not respond to pressing the power button (no load, no vibration).
Tried entering download mode using vol down + home + power. Nothing. (So cant use Odin)
Tried entering recovery mode using vol up + power. Nothing
Tried hard reset using vol up + power + home. Nothing.
(All the steps I used a fully charged battery from another s4 phone and removed/re-entered before trying again)
So I check online and notice some people having issues with power button, but even if that is the case - wouldn't my phone still charge? I dont even get the battery chargning icon on the screen when plugged in either PC or wall socket.
I opened it up and changed the motherboard with another samsung s4 and my original problem mobo still does not load on the new s4. (My new mobo worked on the old device though).
The ONLY response I got was when I used my original mobo on new s4 device and plugged it into PC, it popped connect and then disconnect sound and thats it (doesnt recognize usb port).
What are my options apart from getting another motherboard or going to a shop for a JTAG repair? I was contemplating just removing the power button and seeing if that helps in getting a charge response lol
Well your power button is broken for sure. Replace it and then test it.

Wouldn't the phone still recognize charging even if the power button is faulty?

It always takes a few seconds before it starts to charge. So maybe the device reboots before reaching the charging phase. I'm guessing though. But since your problems started with power button issues it would be the logic place to start.
The part only costs a few dollars.
Well I'm exactly in the same situation as you, since this morning on a i9505 running JFLTPE-GPE 5.0 ROM. The screen appears for 1 second or 2 (Samsung logo) then it powers off . I need to remove the battery to try something else.
Same behaviour, even for recovery mode, so Odin is not an option.
I thought that changing some kernel settings have caused that, but as I just put them back to default values, it should not happen.
I didn't have some power button issues, it was just powered off at my wake up this morning. In your case, does your phone vibrate and power up instantly when you put the battery ? That's the case for me, but it should not be the normal.
My problem is actually solved : indeed, it was the power button. I removed all the screws and played a little with this power button (air dust, etc...), enough to make it start correctly !
I managed to do some backups, and now I hope that it won't break again.

Yeah, that happened before (automatically powering up, vibrating, going to samsung logo and then shutting down and doing it again until I removed battery - putting the battery back in with start it up without pressing the power button).
When it was in that phase, the one thing that did work was doing a soft reset (home+power+down vol, and then holding just power) - however that only worked for like an hour before it went back to the restart phase.
However now it doesn't respond to anything at all. (Any kind of response I got was when I put that mobo in another s4 and plugged in usb, which just gave a connected/disconnect sound on w7, no life on the phone itself).
Be very careful as to what you do, I suggest you do NOT leave the battery on it and charge it (which was the last thing I did before it went unresponsive) - my guess is phone went haywire trying to turn on/off continously.
