Never had this happened to me b4. Removing battery wont help either. Tried diff battery and power cable. Its just dead. Soft reseting wont work either
Any ways to fix this myself? Is it the power supply?
I have the same problem, I was downloading the stock firmware on my note 4 while charging, I went to check if it was done downloading but it was frozen, I couldn't get to the lock screen just a black screen with the red notification light, I removed the battery but since then it won't turn on nor charge. I know it's not the battery cuz it works fine on another n4. The weird thing is that I was also downloding the same file on my computer and it was frozen too it didn't finish the download just like my phone,.
This is the first time that something like this happened to me, it wasn't over heating or anything so I have no idea why it won't turn on.

When I turn off the phone, it vibrates to let me know it is off, and then it waits two seconds or so then turns itself back on.
I have done hard reset after hard reset, put the latest KE8 on and it still does it. Could it be a battery fault?
Do you have Advanced Power Menu installed?
Nope. It is now not letting me switch it on unless plugged into the charger.
If I switch it on away from the charger, it shows me a battery on the screen with a flickering yellow warning triangle with a thermometer next to it.
Any thoughts?
sorry to hear that!
i've had this problem about one or two months ago, after i flashed a new rom (can'r remember which one, was it lightning?). did almost everything i could
imagine (flashed other recovery, kernel, modem) and nothing helped. also a
complete fresh install (wipe everything before) didn't solve this!
the only thing which worked for me was to go back to my old rom. after that
everything was fine again!
so, i cannot say what causes this, but if you flash another rom it should work again! if not, try to repartition with odin, using one of the provided PIT files!
yep also had this problem when i first flashed cognition. my phone would reboot after turning it off. and if the battery went dead, when i plugged it into charge it would turn itself on instead of going to the battery charging screen. all i did was reflash the rom and all was fine.
This morning I updated to Android 2.3.4.
If I root like this:

Will it help do you think?
Just to update, it seems to be resolved now using this:

Thanks for your help guys!
And now its doing it again lol
I can live with it, but a couple of things like it thinking there is a USB cable connected seem to happen every now and again...?
hmm thats the same way as i did it but i didnt do the yellow triangle trick so im not sure about that. everything else is standard, thats how i flashed my rom and i only had your problem the first time i flashed. did you do the yellow triangle removal?
I did the remove triangle thing yea.
I do think it is a problem with the USB connector, it could be touching itself inside, possibly causing a shortage as it occasionally thinks a USB cable is connected.
So, if I turn off, it could be thinking that the charger has initiated connection and starts up to charge, but can't charge so just continues to boot.
I have plugged the usb cable in and with nothing at the other end, and nothing pops up. So it could be something like what I suggest. It has been ok for an hour or so now so fingers crossed lol!
lol that cud be it then. it wud make sence. might wanna get that looked at tho if you dont wanna risk damaging the phone. if its doing what you said, then it cud end up killing the phone if it shorts it out permantly. let me know how its going in a day or so.
Even on lock screen if you press and hold the power button for 8 seconds the phone does shut off, is it happening for ya?
I had this a few weeks back. Reflashing cf root kernel fixed mine.

Likewise, solved my problems with the phone rebooting itself instead of turning off.
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.
Hello,
I know, there are several threads about this issue, and I checked them all, tried all what they wrote, still nothing changed.
Yesterday I've installed KitKat on my mobile. I've tested it for an hour than installed CM 10.1.3 back. At first, I had no Wi-fi, neither for second try. I read that I need to flash a modem.zip to fix that. So I did that, reinstalled CM again and on system reboot, my phone didn't turn back on.
I doubt its battery issue cause it was on charger and was around 74% (after I couldn't do anything, I left my Nexus on charge whole night, but nothing changed).
The red light appears when the phone is plugged and I press the buttons for 15/60 secs, than fades after few seconds.
Have you got any idea? I can't enter recovery, nothing at all.
After trying every solution - and when I say every, I mean that all possibilities found over the whole internet - the only thing I could do is giving a call Google support. Since I bought my phone in SF, my warranty is up only there (and I live in Hungary).
Luckily, they send me a new one, but only to an US address, else I should call LG for help.
About the issue:
the red light - also called as the red light of death - is a known Android bug. The OS it self lowers the battery's strength, so the phone gets a very few energy which causes that you are not able to turn on the device. When I mentioned this red light thingy to the support, she only said "ahh, that..." and asked me if I want a new Nexus 4 or I want my money back.
Sounds like your phone is bricked.
Generally Google/LG is fine with rooted phones, at least in my case. I'd give It back and get a new phone.

So what you say is that after you flashed the Modem fix zip your phone went into red light mode?
Maybe you flashed a wrong zip file, which bricked your device? What zip file did you flash?
I fixed mine. You must be plugged in to a charger. Turn off. Which it should be already. Then press power button for long enough go the red light to turn green. Then yank off the USB. The phone thinks its out of juice. It is and does happen. But I got mine working this way. Timing is key.

leave it on the charger for a while.
but, the only 100% method to get your phone back is to take the back off, remove the battery, then plug the battery back in. the "resets" your battery. this would be a normal battery pull for a device with a removable battery, but since the n4 doesnt have a removable battery..
Guys, I've tried all these and nothing helped. It happened a week ago, so the battery had time to go on 0%, I've charged it and still no life signals... I even removed the battery - nothing.
Meanwhile, Google decided to screw me up, so we keep trying to resurrect the phone...
About the modem.zip: doubt it was a bad zip, cause others used it before me also. I had a bad luck, happens...
Hey all.
So I have an s4 that was running safestrap and hyperdrive. It all worked fine and I was having no problems. The phone froze (programs not responding, not a big deal.)
I did a battery pull and then the phone would not turn on again. When I put the battery in, it turns on for about 5 seconds. I managed to get it into recovery and download mode, however it turns off almost as soon as I get there. I checked with a different battery, but nothing.
I would ODIN it and everything would be fine, but it won't stay on long enough for my computer to even recognize it.
Also, I tried leaving the phone on the charger overnight, but it won't charge the battery or show the red LED. I felt for heat to see if it was hot around the usb/charging port but it wasn't.
Any ideas?
I'm sure you tried this, but did you try to use the USB cord to power and not rely on the battery?
Hello,
I received the YotaPhone 2 (YD206) today.
The box was sealed.
When I tried to turn on the phone, it didn't start. I thought it was empty so I put in on charger for 2 hrs.
After that I tried again , but still nothing happened -- i was holding power button multiple times, as long as 5 minutes at the time, but there was simply no response -- no vibration, no sound, screen remains black (not turned on), anything at all.
I tried different chargers as well (Xiaomi and Samsung one) -- they weren't working with this phone either.
When I connect phone to a PC, I just hear sound that something is connected (I saw installing drivers notice first time I connected it), but nothing happens at all. I don't see the phone in my computer or anywhere else.
Is there way I can fix this somehow? What else can I try?
Thanks!
You can try unlocking the bands like described here.
Not sure it will help but you can at least try.

Sounds like the phone is defect. The only thing I can think of is that it somehow freezed up and you will need to let the battery drain so all power is off the phone and then try to recharge it. Draining the phone completly without screen use can take up to 7 days.
I finally managed to turn it on,by keeping it on charger for whole day and night and after a couple of attempts it was on.
I thought battery voltage was pretty low which prevented it from turning on.
I used a phone for a day, completely discharged it and then recharged it to 100% again. I thought everything is gonna be good now.
Then I wanted to upgrade to Lollipop, I decided to use YotaFlasher to flash EU KitKat first, and that worked fine. After that, I used OTA update to download Lolipop.
Download finished, and I was offered to "restart device and apply update", but as soon as I confirmed, the device went off and I can't turn it on anymore. What the heck is happening with this yotaphone? (battery was at 97%)
I can't turn it on, restart, put in download or recovery mode, get it to charge or get the screen on. Also PC don't recognize it *AT ALL* -- not even sound that something is connected. It looks completely dead (again).
Any ideas what I can do to fix my new problem?
