So I woke up this morning and went to charge my nexus 4, which had around a week of life, only to be greeted with a flashing red light on its LED. It was working perfectly fine up until now, but now it doesn't turn on, it doesn't do anything if I try a hard reset (power + volume down) and charging it with via USB or AC only shows the red flashing LED, with no charging icon at all.
I have absolutely no idea why did it decide to spontaneously die, it didn't even leave the house yet because I was too paranoid I would drop it Is there anything I can do? Any ideas? It looks like getting a replacement is my only option but I wanted to ask you guys if by any chance there's anything else I could try.
have you rooted it or flash anything into it? Overclocking it or something? what have you done to it in the period of a "week"?
Nevermind, I managed to boot into recovery mode after pressing vol.down+power for about 40 secs while plugged to AC. It looks like the battery depleted completely and that was causing the red led — why did the battery go down to 0 while the phone was off is completely beyond me though. (FWIW I did not root the device, didn't flash anything, and didn't overclock it)
I had the same thing happen to be just now. Yesterday my battery died at 2% so I shut it off. I didn't charge it that night. Today I went to plug it in and I got a red flashing led. However after about 3-5 minutes of the charger the regular white charging battery symbol came up on the screen. I think the battery was just really dead.
i got my n4 today, had an gnex before
so i unlocked my phone, rooted and installed cwm
i flashed xylon rom and trinity kernel any 10, and everything was fine, like it was on my gnexus
after a couple of hours i pressed the power button to unlock the screen but nothing happend.
phone seems to be dead, pressing power button for 10 seconds do nothing
when i plug it into charger, the led is blinking red all the time, but phone wont turn on
do you think the device is broken?
i am really ****ed up, now wtf is the quality of that?
used it for 3 hours and its broken?
any idea is welcome..(
Nexus 4 DEAD... possibly not charging.
I have this exact same issue... but trying the volume down+power key or trying the power key by itself does not do a thing. The phone will only turn on for a couple of seconds and then die. I have been trying to charge it for a couple of days now with no luch.
I am overseas and just got my phone, which was thoroughly tested by my brother in the US, but it has been off the charger for a couple of weeks until it got to my hands... Is there any reset button or anything else that I can do if I open it???
Please, sending it back will be a major hassle, thank you.
As long as you are properly charging from a source that can provide at least 1.2A, you should be able to charge the phone back up.
Make sure you're not using an Apple charger, charging from a computer, or charging with a wall adapter that is rated below 1.2A.

Perhaps a kernel related problem? Phone is still very new, devs might have to sort out some shady stuff going on. There will and can always be a certain danger when flashing custom kernels, especially with a device that new.
This just happened to me right when I was demo'ing the 8GB to a buyer since I'm selling it back as I was able to order a 16GB on the last re-offering from Google, (so I don't need two Nexus phones). Hands were sweating when it wouldn't power on, so I grabbed my charger, plugged it in, and then it started flashing a red light. Eventually it turned on after about 5 mins, finally. Battery graph showed 90% charge before it turned off, then 0%, then started back now at 10% charge. This was after powering it off and leaving it in the box since only Tuesday.
Really strange issue... I actually remember something similar happening to my Mom's HP Touchpad a few months back as well. Had to plug it in for about 40 mins after she apparently turned it off and let it sit for a couple weeks during which time it discharged completely. Guess this is the bad part about non-removable batteries lol. Though my iPod touch 2G does sit here with next to no charge and it always powers on without fail.
Happened to me just a few minutes ago, luckily got it turning on again. Weird.
Im using franco kernel and now im scared thanks to this thread...
Which version you have? 8Gb or 16Gb? 14 nov or 14 dec?

That sucks... Several people have reported that their phones started to work again just by doing nothing. I hope you somehow manage to bring it to life.

Same issue here.
I didn't fina a solution. I've kept the phone connected to the charger for a wole night but it's not booting anymore. I'b only able to enter in fastboot mode pressing vol down + power and connecting it to PC.

This happened to me about 3 days ago while running Antutu with franco kernel r19
My phone completely depleted its battery all the way from 98%. I was able to recover it by connecting my charger for 3 mins and powering on the device with the charger connected. I let it charge for about 10 mins(It refused to charge above 3%).
So i disconnected the charger and restarted the phone. Lo and behold, my battery was back to 98%..
I have been reading lots of threads and i don't seem to be the only one that experienced this issue while running Antutu. Although i have run Antutu multiple times after restart and the problem has not replicated itself..
At first i thought Franco kernel was the culprit but this also happened to people who were completely stock..Leads me to believe that this could be a hardware issue...Lg and Google better figure out what is going on because this could lead to bad publicity and furthermore push people who are currently on the fence regarding a purchase of this device further away.
I have the same issue since this Monday. I still cannot power it on or access fastboot mode.
It happened after I updated to Franco R20 from R19. I still run stock and never OC'ed.
How can I unroot and lock the phone without being able to access fastboot or bootloader?

having had my phone for about a week so far. been having great experience with it. then BAM! The phone just won't turn on anymore. looks like its completely dead. i mean literally dead. no led light flashing. holding down power button doesnt work either. what should I do now? contact google? is it a defect phone? There was no rooting no flashing. phone is completely stock. and no physical damage at all.
waited 2 month for something like this. I am really helpless and disappointed!
For how long did you hold down the power button?
I had the same issue with the nexus 7 and I fixed it by holding down the power button for 30 seconds or more...
Use an AC power socket and leave it charge for hours. Then try again. Then RMA is its still not coming on.

thanks guys. I managed to turn it back on. but what could have triggered this shutdown? there was no notification whatsoever. if the battery dies there should have been a notification or something right? could there be anything wrong with the phone?

I had a similar issue with mine about two weeks ago and again twice today. 2 weeks ago and today, the phone was on the charger and seemed to go into a deep freeze. My alarms didn't go off as scheduled, and I was only able to turn the phone back on with a very long pressing of the power button. Then just a few minutes ago, I noticed my phone was unresponsive and had to do the same thing.
The phone is not rooted, and the battery was not dead during any of these episodes. In fact, it was on the charger overnight the first two times.
I'll probably call customer support tomorrow.

I just got mine yesterday, got it all setup. awesome. Put it on the charger overnight, with an alarm set....woke up just before my alarm to a phone in deep freeze...long power press (over 30sec) and then tried to turn on regular, and it worked fine.
Is this a defect, or just quirk..
This happens to my phone too but once. My nexus 7 keeps on doing it randomly.. But I had to hold my power button pass a minute..

I haven't seen this... I haven't tried games yet on nexus 4, but on my Evo LTE it got quite warm with games... maybe wait till it's cooled down and try again. What game is it...maybe it's poorly programmed and uninstalling would help most...

yes at first the newely installed games like muffin knight and other umpopular games... but now even my game blood and glory(whos i installed from the first day i had my n4) also causes freeze in my phone .. it happened to me 4x now and i really dont know what to do ... maybe its already a hardqare failure since my b and g caused freeze ..
Volume UP + Power button for less then 5 seconds solved the problem for me.
My Nexus 7 2013 wont turn on.I bought it on 4 sep ,no problems till this morning.Last night i left it charging and this morning it wasn't turning on.

Don't work.
unplug it and leave it for around 10 minutes, then plug it back in again, wait a minute and hold down power for 30s until it boots. Should be OK after that.

Good luck. But please do not make double posts and post questions in the Q&A forum next time, ok?
Always use the stock charter, and charge it over nigth, I think this solves your Problem.
Plug it for 30 minutes. Then restart.
If not unplug/plug battery by opening back cover.
Maybe battery was disconnected.
Did you try holding volume up + power? I had this happen to me as well and I did that combination while on the charger to get my N7 to turn back on.

I actually had this problem last night. My battery was at 20% a few days ago... left it idle, went to use it last night and bam, nothing.
Plugged it in for a few minutes and tried to boot, nothing. Left it for about 5 minutes and then just held down the power button until something happened, and finally I managed to get the battery icon to appear. It would stay for a few seconds then the screen would go black. Then it would return. Rinse, repeat. I couldn't even get it to stop doing that. Eventually gave up and just let it charge for another 10 minutes.
Looked at it after that and it was booted. Battery page shows it dropped from 20% to completely dead instantly. Not sure what's up with that.
The whole time I was doing this procedure, the notification light was pulsing in sequences of 5, if that means anything to anyone.
Anyway, tablet is fine this morning.
Hi all, my note 3 just died in a strange way.
2 hours ago i it was working in the train. When i got home it was about 10%. Took it out once while smoking and put it back charging again. Half an hour ago i turned on the screen to see if i got any messages. Turned of the screen again. Half an hour later i wanted to check again, but the phone was off.
It wont turn on anymore. Tried my second battery, not working. Checked my usb cable, it was charging my external battery.
After this i plugged the phone in to charge again to see what would happen. I dont see any battery icon in the screen, the led is also not working. The battery feels cold. But the area around the camera is pretty hot. Still won't do nothing.
Has anyone any idea what this unexpected dead is about? Not rooted, not wet, not dropped, like i said, i was checking my messages half an hour ago while it was charging.

Yes, it is not reacting to anything. I thought maybe the power button is bricked, but that would not explain why it is not showing the battery logo and led light while charging.

Plugged usb cable into my laptop, took out battery, connected phone to cable, tried recovery and power, both not working. The upper area of the phone gets hot though. So the laptop is giving power to it i guess.

Ok thanks, what a shame.
Any technical people who might have know what caused it? Could it be a power shortcut or some kind of malware in the background? It's a really stupid death.
Mine did this
Was only 2 weeks old.
Took it back to the shop, and got it replaced.
It wouldnt charge even with the phone off
Common fault with them
similar thing happened to my wifes s2 turned out to be the motherboard
I have visited a support center. They told me the battery was giving 4.2 Volt to the phone instead of 3.8 Volt. So the phone and the battery are both broke. He told me this doesn't happen often.
Hey All,
I have bought a used leeco pro 3 off swappa. Unfortunately I didn't get the phone until much later after delivery (had to have someone bring it to me). In photos the phone works fine, but when I got it it won't turn on and there's no indicator that it's charging at all. When I do plug it in, the phone does get warm though.
Any thoughts what the problem could be?
Have you tried another USB-C cable? Apparently the stock OEM one sucks.

I have another leeco and I tried that charger still nothing. I've been reading and wondering if the battery drained. I'm going to leave it plugged in for awhile to see if anything changes. I plugged it directly into my laptop and it made that noise that it recognized something was plugged in but it didn't turn on or anything like that.

I'll keep trying but doesn't want to turn on. Interestingly though, when it's plugged into my laptop at least I can hear the phone being disconnected via USB when I hold the power button down. It just doesn't seem to boot up.
When you plug it does it show it charging.
You must push power and volume button at the same time.
Never buy from them.

Try use different cable connect phone to computer. For the phone show as Qualcoom HS loader on pc, I just can remember did not format it or anything like that and the phone was fine working again.
I'm having a similar problem, I bought a new leeco pro 3 charger today, original, plugged it in charged until led was green. An hour later noticed fingerprint scanner not working, so i discovered the phone is off, now I can't turn on. I had AICP ROM, the latest one from 21 january.

Hello, I have very similar problem. My Leeco le pro 3 don't charge I try diffrend cables and chargers but when plug-in only orange diode start to blink. Do you have any other ideas what to try?
same problem here. LeEco shut down because of low battery. After plugging the charger in it, the LED only blinks red. Then it vibrates, turns off and starting into the charging mode without charging. Starting TWRP or dotOS is not possible because it shuts down.
