So my phone died earlier today and I left my charger in my friend's car. When I got it back, I tried to plug it in and turn it on, but nothing happened. I know sometimes you have to wait until it has a certain % charge before you can turn it on. I made and hour trip back home and when I got back I still couldn't get my phone to turn on.
When it's not plugged in nothing happens at all. When it is plugged it it repeats the boot logo thing over and over and over and eventually goes black. I can't get to any kind of menu. I've tried the X+Power option. Nothing.
Any help?

You might try and swap batteries with someone with a D2 or D1 to see if your battery is messed up other than that I'm not sure what to do because it sounds like you don't have enough power but if it's not charging you could have a software issue, because the D2 won't charge without software.
Does your white charging light on the side turn on when it's plugged in?
Are you running a Custom ROM?
So this is sort of a weird issue, and my tablet has only started doing this recently.
When the tablet completely runs out of juice I plug it in. For whatever reason when I plug it in it tries to start up - I get the Google screen, then the boot up animation, then I get my home screen. It's at 0% battery so a second or two after this happens it shuts itself down. Then it starts itself up again - Google screen, boot up animation, home screen, shut down. It continues to cycle like this as long as it's plugged in. And because it does this it never ends up charging. It just cycles endlessly.
I've tried holding down the power button while it's plugged in. It shuts off, then proceeds to start up again. I try unplugging it, shutting it off, then plugging it back in, and it tries to start up again. I never see the battery charging screen that's supposed to show when it's off but charging.
Sometimes I can get lucky and turn it off at just the right time to keep it from turning back on again, and I'll get the battery charging screen, but I haven't been able to this time around.
Anyone know why it insists on trying to start up when I plug it in? I'd actually rather it NEVER did this and have it turn on when I choose it to.
I powered down my phone so that I could let it charge more quickly for a while. Once powered down, I plugged it in, the LG logo came up which is normal, then it showed the white battery logo in the center of the screen and showed charging, just as it should... But, after about 30sec longer, the phone just powered on, as if I had hit the power button (showed the boot animation and the just booted up.)
No matter what I do (be it unplug the phone power it off, then plug it in. Or turn it off while its plugged in) It will just turn itself on...
Why? lol
thats android for ya. It can be modded to off, but then its not default android setting.
It has been like this since forever in android source code.
Mahdi rom allows it to be off via a togle in settings.

Same thing with Windows phone. It doesn't make sense.

Huh. That's actually not usual behaviour. For me, it'll show up with the battery, as you said. But it's not actually booting into android. Just the charging animation.
My N10 charges just fine when powered off. Just did it yesterday. On kitkat. Just saying.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
its in google source code just saying...

I just tried this myself. Normally, I never turn the phone off but this got me curious. I powered down, and placed the phone on the charger. Saw the battery logo, then the screen dimmed, and I see the red pulsing charging led. I am pretty sure it's not fully booted up, otherwise Light Flow would override the pulsing red charging LED with my orange steady LED. Knock On also has no effect. Pulled it off the charger, the battery icon flashed. Short press on Power button did nothing, but long press started the phone booting up.
With good reseption it only takes about 17mah with screan on.
U charge with 1600mah phone of might charge it 5min faster from 0 to 100 no point of having it off

This is exactly what it does for me, too.
Phone is turned off, put the phone on charge, the phone starts up the Android. Previously it just boot up to the battery charging animation...
how to stop the phone starting when in charge...
I was at the gym and checked my phone for a sec had timer on
so all of a sudden it froze so i decided I'll turn it off and it will restart right?
