Hello everybody,
I'm the owner of a G2 for about two months, everything was fine till yesterday, the battery was low so I charge it as usual, the phone was turned on, but one hour later when I checked it, when I checked it, it was off with just a red blinking light (notification).
I searched about the problem so I tried to hold the power button for a long time, tried to hard reset it by holding the button power and volume down for a whole minute but nothing happen for both. :crying:
I hope someone could help to solve this annoying problem, I'm desperate...
NB: - the red blinking does appear only when I charge the phone or connect it to pc.
- I also charge it the whole night but no result.
(sorry for my bad english)
Hi,
A few days ago my nexus 4 stopped working on me, I haven't found anyone having an identical issue so far.
Essentially, my phone does not turn on any more. I have tried holding volume down and power and this produces nothing. The only thing I can get is the red LED turning on if I hold power for about 10 seconds with it plugged in, it lingers a bit if I release power., but immediately turns off if unplugged.
It stopped working while it was plugged in and at about 60% battery, I had not had any problems with the device in the past, it worked flawlessly up to that moment. The device was running stock without any third party firmware.
Does anyone know what happened, and what I can do about it? I somewhat suspect a battery issue but I'm not sure, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi, I'm having the exact same issue. My Nexus 4 (stock Lollipop 5.0, not rooted) died while the battery was 80% full, and the phone was charging. Shortly before it died, it restarted several times within a few hours. The phone doesn't respond to power button, neither it responds to power/volume button combination. When the phone is connected to a charger, nothing happens - no LED, no screen. If the phone is connected to a charger, and I press the power button (or power/volume) for >10s, LED starts blinking in red. The blinking pattern is weird - it blinks steadily 10 times, and gives one short blink. Any suggestions? Or any hope to get the data out?
You can possibly fix this by holding either power up or down for 15+ seconds and then connect the phone to a computer with USB. This has worked for me.
The problem might be that the battery is dying, because I've only had this problem when I've let the battery discharge, and then turned it on again. It's probably a mechanism to protect the battery from becoming "too" discharged, which might break it.
Everytime I had this in the past, I was able to fix by plugging into a very high powered charger (1000mA <) and holding down vol up + power. Eventually, it seems to trickle charge and then start. Once it's started, give it 20 seconds to get a boost then switch it on.

Hello Guys
My lg g2 has a very strange problem !!
Every thing is operating normally in the phone till battery reachs 60%
Once it be 60% the screen stuck in black most of times
Knock feature doesn't wake up the device, also the power button
After pressing 10s times on power button and knocking on the screen sometimes open sometimes not.
It needs to be plugged in wall charger to operate semi normal (it works good in the charger but it do stuck for one or two times only)
I noticed that the screen is Lighting up but it shows black only no data at all
And some times gives black only.
I tried to restart my phone. It restarts normaly but the screen still black even lg logo didn't appear but it opens with black again.
The screen is working i can hear my touch sound ( swipe look, answering phone call, volume up and etc.)
All this happened only once the battery reachs 60%
My devise not rooted, updated to lollipop, i did hard and soft reset, connected the devise to lg pc suite
Nothing helped. Also my battery is draining super fast even in charger !!!
Do you have any ideas? Is it battery problem or cables or what?
Any suggestions??
Hi guys,
I recently had to replace my Essential Phone display (for a second time!). The first replacement few months ago went fine and I was able to boot normally.
Now I replaced the screen again (old replacement broken too), I was able to boot the phone after I installed the display - to test it and all was fine. I then normally shut down the phone.
I glued the screen into the phone and let it sit on the charger for 1 hour, now I try to boot and nothing happens...
Without the charging cable connected I can't start the phone - I tried holding the power + volume down, power + volume up, power + volume up and down, nothing really happens.
When I connect the phone to the charger it boots to "powered by android", show's the charging screen for a few seconds (at about 80%, even though I let the phone discharge before replacing the screen).
Now i'm stuck, I guess I will leave the phone at the charger for at-least 10-20 hours and see what happens.... I was wondering if anyone had similar problems?
Hopefull
I'm having the very same issue here, have you found a fix for it?
My phone was working normally but after opening a PWA it shut itself down and started rebooting every 30-ish seconds.
To shut it down i have to press the power button for like a minute and I can only get to the bootloader but after loading the screen the phone freezes and reboots after 30 seconds.
The worst part is that it won't charge, when I try to charge it or connect it to my PC with the original cable a red light blinks twice but nothing happens.
It was running the official 5.8.0.28 eUI and the stock recovery.
USB Debugging and developer options are disabled.
Can someone help me fix this problem without losing data?
Thanks.
