I have a Pixel 4 that all of a sudden died and will not turn on. I have tried everything from charging overnight to every button combination and plugging into laptop (It is not recognized).
It was not dropped or never got wet. The battery was at 80 percent when it turned off.
Is it more likely the motherboard died, or is it possible the battery just completely died? Considering installing a new battery to see if that fixes it.

I have a problem with my Nexus 4. Since about 2 weeks ago, without changing any settings, my phone started turning itself off at night. At first I thought it was the sleep of death issue, but it's not. It does this even with the Safe Charge app installed. What's weirder is that when I wake up, my phone is not only off, but it's entire battery is drained. About 15 seconds after unplugging it and plugging it back in, the red battery indicator light begins to blink, and about a minute or two later, I am able to power it back up.
Charging the phone for short periods of time doesn't have this effect, but charging for hours will do this to it.
I DO have SlimKat ROM installed and its custom kernel... I will try to revert to stock and see if that has any effect, but does anyone know anything about this? I'm worried it's a hardware failure, which is bad news for me.

i can't say for sure but that seems to me your battery has started to die!!
did you find any solution to this?
My nexus had the red light of death some time ago and I eventually bought a new battery. but battery time was still horrible with the new original battery - phone lasted only for about 6-7h with full charge with almost no usage.
I now found out that even when I turn the phone off completely the battery looses it's charge after about 8h.
It's definately a hardware problem - does anyone have any idea what part might cause this and if it's possible to fix it?

I have the same issue!
Hi, I've changed the screen of my phone 1 year ago, after that the battery started acting odd...
I tried the phone 6 month ago and at that time the battery was instantly dying after passing the 50% state.
Now, I can't even power on the device...
I tried to follow this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oATx6fO35tg but it didnt change a thing.
I still have that flashing red light when I try to charge the phone...
So Is my phone dead? Or do I just need to change the battery?
Thanks
Red light happened to me this morning. Woke up the phone was 100% and it died. Turning it back on nothing. Volume down + power button it showed red light. Last week I was at 40% before it shut down and battery was completely depleted for some reason. Other steps I did today was volume up + power button for a minute then charging/and or turning it on. Volume down + power button while held plugging the power cable in. Left it charging for an hour or so. I ended up just buying a batter in the afternoon, hoping it'll fix the problems.
Really don't know what else to do.

It's possible the cable got damaged when you switched everything over. A new battery might solve your problems. Just be careful with the cable ribbon.
I have the same problem the last few days.
I changed my screen about a month ago and the phone was working fine.
Now it instantly dies at random battery percentages and also goes nuts when I charge it, it might charge ok but it might not charge at all or show one minute 5% and the next 58% etc.
I actually remember dropping it a few days ago but I don't know if it has anything to do.
So what's the next move? should I buy a new battery or the problem is somewhere else?
I am also attaching a screenshot to see how crazy it goes in charging and battery drops.
I've bought a new battery for 15 bucks everything is well again

Where did you purchase your battery from? I bought one to fix my red light Nexus and while it now powers on, the battery was clearly used (sold as new) and it lasts maybe 5 hours in standby before dying completely.
I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910T) last week on Ebay. It is a refurbished one sold by a seller named Cellfeee. On the first day it came with 0 percent. So I charged it with the generic non-fast charging charger it came with and it worked good until it suddenly turned off on 5 percent and I couldn't turn it on until I put the charger on. The next day I used another charger with a fast charger (not sure if the charger was broken) and it took 7 hours all night to charge but it strangely last for 10 hours and shut off at 20 percent. Is this a common issue? Should I send it back or order a replacement battery?

I have the same issue my phone n910t shutdowns at 20% and sometimes at 15% and phone won't turn on.but i can enter download mode and it remains on for hours
but when i plug in fast charger back it shows same 15% then why the hell it won't turn on ?
I think its nothing wrong with my phone not refurbished never rooted it definitely could be bad battery..
I have the same problem with my 2 year old Note 4 - bought a new battery but that didn't fix it. Phone usually shuts off at around 15-20% battery. However, when I connect the charger it shows 0%.
So, either there's another hardware fault which is misreading the battery level, or there's a problem with latest Android or Samsung app which is causing it.

Try this
Dial*#0228# and press quick start at bottom of the screen and hit yes.
This will clear old battery calibration status.
Then turn off the phone and charge to 100% and reboot
And your new calibration status will create automatically.
I did this and now my phone is not shutting down at 15 or 20%.

Hey trex.. i have the same problem phone shuts down at 15 to 10% but when it shuts down it goes to bootloop whenever you power on the phone it goes again to bootloop but once you connect the phone to the charger it boots just fine! I'm on stock rom not rooted, 8 month old phone. Did you noticed this behavior n your phone or it's just me .
Sent from my SM-N910G using Tapatalk
I tried that with 2 batteries. I have bought a now oem one and it's worse than the 2 years old one.
I have exactly the same problem as everyone else, the phone shuts down at 20-30-40% and sometimes even at 50%.
Edit: I was talking about the *#0228# method.

I never face any bootloop issue. after i recalibrate bettery status its perfectly fine.but still sometimes when phone heats up a lot while gaming and it shutdown at 5 or 8%.
Maybe you flash a clean stock firmware and make factory reset after flash should fix this bootloop issue.

Thanks for your reply, it isn't bootloop as i described but it fails to boot if the phone is not charged enough( it should be over 5 percent) it will go to Samsung logo the restarts again unless i connect the phone to the charger.. very strange behavior! This started to happen after November security update.. i was thinking to factory reset but i have too many apps and without TB i will suffer backing up all these data 😣.. if factory reset did not help i will send it back to Samsung service center and let them suffer 😈.. thanks for your help trex really appreciated.. cheers

It might be a software issue. The battery still lasts pretty long even though 20% is like 0%. So buying a new battery didn't help. Did you try a non-oem battery? if so, did it do the same?

It might be because your battery can't supply enough power. I had the same problem and brought it to Samsung, they said I only need to change the battery. And since I had another backup one, it was fine and decided to buy 2 more batteries just in case. No more problem so far.

I suppose its not come from the battery last time I already buy another battery but the same issued my phone shutdown at 20% ob Android 6.01, I roll back 5.1.1 everything ok with battery
I recently had my nexus 6p battery replaced. I was told it was replaced with the Huawei brand battery. The capacity seems to be normal again. However, I have noticed that my phone is randomly shutting off about once a week. It will go from using it to just completely blank screen and off. The battery will be at any charge percentage, but when I try to turn on the screen or turn on the phone, it just stays blank. It only works if I plug the phone in, wait for the charging indicator, then I can unplug it and turn on the phone..
I have noticed this has happened when I opened my camera app and when I opened snapchat. I think this is a coincidence, but I am unsure.
I noticed when I plugged the phone in when it had turned off, I noticed a very feint red flash of light below the ear piece. This is supposed to be where the light sensor and proximity sensor are at.
I had it happen again to me when I was opening Android Messages when I was with one of the repair guys that replaced the battery. I used a USB A to C cable to plug it into a computer and then into my phone to show him that plugging it in jump starts it and the battery is not dead. However, this resulted in a bootup, then blank screen. Leaving it plugged in has it bootup and then blank screen and back to off animated charging. Thinking phone was dead dead, I went home and tried to call warranty. In the process, I plugged it into my computer, USB C to USB C and the phone turned on and booted up. My computer has a thunderbolt 3 port. My guess is the power supplied by the USB 2.0 type A port was too low to give it the jumpstart. But when I plug it into the chargers I have at home, which are more powerful, it is enough to jump start it and get it working again. Maybe it is a coincidence about the different charger outputs.
Any thoughts?
I think it might be a battery issue and people were telling me it was part of what's going on in that lawsuit.
Only cheap battery's available for the 6p unless you get a ceno. I purchased a battery from eBay supposed "OEM." The first one did exactly what you first mentioned. Early shut downs and failure to turn on. I didn't even get those with the original battery just that it was getting bit tired. I messaged the seller and he gladly sent me another no questions asked. I've had that battery for 3 months now no battery sensor but works great. I wouldn't hesitate to order another knock off but will make sure it works this time before I put the back cover back on!!! So in other words there's nothing wrong with your phone just that your battery is a lemon. The fact that it's the original battery your having problems with is even worse. If you like the phone spend the $100 and get a shop to replace the battery.

I had the same issue, I tought the new battery was defective or false but it was because android 8.1 developer preview 1. I went back to android 8.0 and the issue dissapeared.
Hope it helps.

This is great to know, thank you. I'm having exactly the same problem as OP. I replaced the battery myself, I have no doubt that the battery is a cheap knock-off version even though it's got the Huawei branding and regulatory info on it.
I'll order another battery and see what happens. Cheers
I got the battery replaced and everything is great. Great battery life and no more restarting and locking up. Definitely was a battery issue.
what's the name of battery please?
Don't buy cheap knock off batteries. Remeber the original battery has a pretty fat ribbon cabble and also has the temperature controller built in the battery here's a pic

Probably Oreo 8.1 issue

I have the same issue as everyone else posting here, except my battery is the original. The battery performance follows normal usage patterns. This means when I charge it, it eventually reaches 100%. When I'm normally using the phone on battery, it slowly discharges. Any phone acts like this.
My problems started when Oreo 8.1 was first installed. Other than being on the beta channel, this phone is not altered, or rooted.
Within fifteen minutes of using the phone heavily while on battery, the phone decides to shut down. The bars at the top and bottom of the screen turn bright red, the screen is greyed out, and it says "Shutting Down" in the middle of the screen. I have not traced this to any particular activity of mine. Usually just reading news or mail. When the phone shuts down, restarting will not work. It gets to the "android" screen, and shuts off again..
When I plug it into the charger The lightning bolt battery shape appears on the screen. Then the filling battery is shown, and it starts filling from very low. The second cycle of the filling battery starts filling from where I expect it to be: in the 80-95% range the phone was at when it crashed. At that point I can restart the phone, while plugged into the charger or not. The battery level indication after the phone is back is exactly what the battery was charged to when the phone crashed: usually 80-95%. I do not think it is a battery problem. I think the battery monitoring software is being interfered with.
Usually I can listen to an audio book with the screen off for a long period of time without triggering the crash. This does not require any network activity. Maybe that's a clue. Also, I have never crashed the phone while it is plugged into the charger. Maybe when the phone is in charging mode, the low battery monitor is not active, so it can't shut down the phone.
I have started putting adb into tcpip mode, and I've captured a few system logs of the phone as it crashed. There is no obvious crash at the end, but there are always a series of strange events, such as permission denials, and processes being killed. I think there may be an out-of-memory condition occurring. There is so much noise in the form of security violations being inserted into the log that it is difficult to determine which error is leading to the crash.
Perhaps I should try going back to Oreo 8.0.

No, I replaced the battery and that fixed the issue.
Hi,
One thing that is really weird started to happen recently.
(About Once per 10~20 days)
#And it's that my Note4 just suddenly die in the middle of usage no warnings.
#The screen becomes totally black no LED lights, and pressing the home or power button doesn't wake it up.
#the only 2 ways to turn it on back again is either you have to plug in the charger or remove the battery and put it back again.
Now i thought that the battery is probably the issue.
But the strangest part is that. When i turn the phone back on The battery still has the same percentage before it died so i can simply continue using the rest of the charge without any issues. (Apparently it holds the charge just ok?)
It's almost like getting turned off by it self except you can't turn it back on unless u connect a charger for a second or reinsert the battery.
Note that: this isn't the original battery that came from the device as the original one started to have less screen on time than before about 3.5 to 4.5hrs not bad but the newer one i bought which is supposedly original or atleast the highest quality i could find it gave me 5hrs to 6.5hrs of screen on time.
I'm not sure if it's the battery or a software bug.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Try this fix guide i made .
