Nexus just dies while using it

I was using my nexus on facebok last night with a virtually full battery when fb stopped responding and a few seconds later the phone just switched off.I tried to restart it it but it would not come back on.I tried al combinations of buttons to try and reset but still nothing.I plugged the charger in to try,nothing.I left it on the side board,I forgot to leave the charger in all night.got up this morning plugged it in the charger and it turned on,left it for 5 mins unplugged the charger and it turned itself straight off again.I have a feeling that my battery has just instantly died,the phone is only about 3 weeks old at the moment.I will be charging it for a few hrs and see if it will come back alive.Fingers crossed it will.Its strange to go from a full battery to off in an instant.

Err did you try to pull the battery when the phone originally crashed.

I didn't pull out the battery as i didnt think it was nessasary.After a few hrs charge it came back on but it is worrying that this could have happened to such a new phone

This happened to my first nexus. Totally just randomly died.
I returned it as faulty.

Basically what happened was that when your phone "died" it actually stayed on but became unresponsive. Because you just left it for the whole night it drained the battery dry which is why you found it like that the next day.
Anyway next time when your phone crashes just do a battery pull and it should fix itself. The crash seems to be a common ICS bug and a few people have reported it. (including me) Hopefully Google fixes it soon.

it's not just because it's a nexus. it's been an issue with various android-based phones over the years. granted, not a common one... just somehow something 'screws up' and you have to do a battery pull to reset the issue.

I've run android for a while now and have had various lock ups, but this was totally different. It actually locked up and turned off and no matter what buttons for reset or just a normal boot would do anything the battery was totally flat and only a charge would do anything.i could not even boot into recovery as it was flat. Its going back fire a replacement in the next few days
One thing I have noticed since it happened is the battery life has gone terrible in that it is draining very very quickly yet nothing has changed on my phone

I experienced this too yesterday. I was on call with headset and I had USB plug. Suddenly phone call ends and phone was dead. I have unplug from USB and pull battery.

Mine did exactly this while on charge last night. Pulled the battery and it fired up straight away. Second time its crashed since i got it. My iphone 4 only crashed once in the 18 months i had it. Guess android isnt as stable yet.

Happened to me yesterday, and then wouldn't charge. Did a battery pull then put it on to charge. When I got it back on checked Battery temp and it was 45C I think that was the issue. after half hour it was down to 31C.

Omg.. something like the G2X random reboots?

I just experienced the same problem. Using my phone and it just went black. First thought was to try powering it on. No luck. Second thought, pull the battery. No luck. Went back to my desk and plugged it into USB so it would charge. No indication it is charging. Tried turning it on. No luck. Leaving it for an hour or more and will see if that does the trick.
Googling to find this thread I actually found dozens of threads on various sites talking about this issue. Hopefully it is a bad batch of devices and quality control has rectified the situation.
Anyone have any successful resolution to this issue? I've been using my phone for around a month now.

[Q] Phone dies after ten minute phone call fresh off charger

I am trying to help my uncle who has been having trouble with his T989D phones. He has tried two and is getting frustrated because the phone can die right to shutting itself off very fast. He has said right from taking it off the charger it can be dead in a 10 minute phone call.
This has been the same on two different stock unrooted Telus phones. What could cause this.
The only thing I notice from telephone support is that the phone never goes to sleep. But I am not in a position to be in person and have to talk someone who is so not that computer literate to checking stuff.
I have a better battery stats file but other then never sleeping it isn't from a time when it died in ten minutes.

It's not even possible to die in 10 minutes when fully charged. Bad battery, probably

That is what I have been told though, I just wish I could actually get face time with the phone for a extended time to figure it out but can't.
Bad battery was my first idea before but when it kept happening with the replacement, it has to be something else.
Also apparently the phone stays at 100% for the most part until it dies.

When he gets replacements, is he getting everything? New battery, new charger, and new phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Yes, but he uses multiple chargers depending on being home or in his truck. The other chargers have been used before on a I9100 with no problems.

These phones seem to be picky with chargers, sometimes. I only use stock that came with it.
Take the phone back again or get a whole different one

This! When you get a replacement phone (in the mail at least) you just get the phone, and have to swap your battery into it (back when I had my Dash replaced I even had to swap the battery cover!) If he is still using the battery from the original phone then that would be the best place to start.

Dd you do a clean install exactly the way the op says? Go do that then come back. Those are 2 very differently based ROMs

yes I did do a clean install following all given instructions including using the el26 kernel

Redownload the ROM again then it might be a bad download. Also do it from a computer not your phone.

still no luck...i odined all the way back to eg30...with the factory restore provided by sfhub <mite have the name wrong> it was working for awhile but then it started happening again...the screen would flicker signal would drop almost like back in the los days then my phone would shut off when i restarted it the battery reading would be 0% after being at 90 and then when i did a battery pull the battery life would go back up to what it was before it errored out and after a few min the screen would flicker the signal would drop out and everything would repeat again

Is it a stock battery? I would take it to sprint

Did you figure out what was wrong with your phone?
My international GSII is doing the exact same thing. Screen and lights flicker then the phone shuts off. After a restart the battery is at 0 or 1% and shuts off immediately. Sometimes after a reboot it will have the correct amount of battery and work fine.

Check your battery compartment is clean and the contacts are ok and clean on both the battery and the phone. Also make sure the battery cover is keeping the battery snug. Maybe put a piece of a business card above the battery to make certain it is not able to jostle during use.

You may try odining EL29 full build with regular Odin and checking clear phone efs. This clears the video cache on the phone and may help solve the issue. I do this myself every so often as a preventative measure.

Contacts are clean and battery is snug. I bought a replacement battery and have been using it for the past 30 min or so - so far so good.

If my new battery doesn't fix it I'll Odin the Rom and Kernel to something safe later tonight. Thanks for the EFS tip! :good:

Just a quick update for anyone that might run into this problem later. I bought a new Anker 1750 mah battery and not only is my battery life back to normal (maybe even better), but no random power offs! Looks like my original Samsung battery took a crap.

I'd take the battery back to a Sprint store. They are designed to last at least one year so they might test it and give you a new one. The factory replacement batteries are expensive.

If it is under a year old they will give you a new battery. It's great having a second battery anyway. My phone was doing the same thing and it was also the battery.

hey everybody thanks for all the replies sorry it took so long to update...and i really wished i had read the battery comments becuz it woulda saved me the huge ordeal i went through
pretty much what happened is I called sprint they sent me a phone in the mail becuz ilive outside the 50mi radius from a service center....the phone they sent me did the same thing so i called back and they sent me another phone....the phone they sent me did the same thing so i called back and got a new phone...the phone they sent me started doing the same hting....so i called again and i asked if it could b the battery the tech was a real **** and was like its not ur battery becuz its holding a charge and it powers the phone on so they sent me a new phone....the phone they sent did the same thing and before they would send me a new phone they made me drive the 50mi in to get my phone looked at the guy checked my phone for 5min and told me i needed a new phone....so i called sprint again and my options were to get **** phones or get a white e4gt...i rrrreeeaaalllyyy didnt want a white one but it was my only choice so they sent me the phone in white and with a new battery and so far so good

So it's definitely a battery issue? cause my phone just started doing the same thing about a week ago. (very Annoying)
I thought maybe it was the rom, but I have installed 3 different roms and they all do the same thing.
Ordering a new battery now, Thanks for the info.

Glad to see this old post helped someone else it was defiantly the battery no problems since...make sure you hit the thanks button if the post fixed your problem

[Q] Nexus 7 turns off

Hello Everyone,
I am a noob on XDA, Please correct me if i have posted in the wrong forum. I bought a new nexus 7 16gb, for some reason when the battery is around 25-30% the tablet turns off itself. Its not shutdown its like pulling the battery of a phone thats on. The only way to start it is by connecting the charger.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I am on the stock rom NOT rooted
Thanks

Have you charged the device to 100% yet? I would do that, leave it charging for an hour after it shows 100% then use it till it dies. Rinse and repeat.

Yes I have charged it 100% multiple times, The only difference is i use a sammy charger that outputs 0.7 amps once in a while. I dont suspect the charging thing to do this.

Are you getting normal use out of a charge? How much screen time in one charge?

Like Highfigh suggested check how long you can run on a full charge. If you get some good hours in then maybe the battery % is not reporting back properly. A reset/restore could possible resolve that issue.

I believe I am getting pretty good charge. I will try once again, I was thinking this might be something with stock rom and hence I posted it online. Thanks every one for the help

exactly the same story here. in my case it's not so easy to turn it on. it would seem like the device is completely discharged, even if it just showed some 40 % battery left. i have to wait several hours to even try to bring it back to recovery mode. very long press does nothing. it happened couple of times already. very annoying with such seemingly superb tablet. i'm not living in the us of a, so no quick replacement for me

That's bad I can turn on mine in a few minutes. Again mine happens very rarely. I also get an excellent battery life. How long does yours go on a charge.
I would also like to know if there is any kind of Logs that we can look at. It's getting irritating, did you try rooting your device to see if that might fix the problem.

I got the same problem recently, I think it was after the last update on the firmware. Everytime the battery reach around 35% it just went off.

Dead M8 after full battery discharge

Hello, I was using my m8 (S-off converted to GPE) and since MM update the phone turns itself of at 5% battery so today I tried to do one battery calibration.
Here is what I did:
Installed an xposed module to remove the battery shutdown
Started an stability test to drain faster, but 2 seconds after my phone turned off and since that it is completely dead, when I put it on the charger nothing happens.
Thanks in advance

leave on charger for 1-2 hours
it will be all right

Thanks man, I´m trying it right now, but seems like it is not getting any juice, the phone and charger are really cold. In 2 hours I will post the results

Good morning, sorry for the delay, my phone was on charger overnight(8 hours) and still dead. I was reading that the Li-ion batteries have one security mode when the voltage is low and to get out of it we need to charge it manually, somente know that?

Ok, I will try to talk with some Tecnical Assistance to do that
Thanks again

Just leave it on the wall charger and try some button combos
- power button + volume down
- power button + volume up
Press both buttons and keep them pressed while the phone is plugged in. At least for 30 seconds up to a minute.
If that doesn't work do the same but plugged in into a USB outlet on a computer

I got the same Problem, read some Theard outside and found a Solution that fits for me.
On the Wall-Charger hold power button + vol-down + vol-up for aprox 20 sec... That was the way i got it back...

I'm on the same device and had something similar happen last night. My battery died before I could charge it. It did charge however, but when I booted back up all of my settings were gone for all my apps and my wallpaper was gone. The user just says Owner now and doesn't have my picture like it did before. Hangouts didn't have any of my recent conversations -- seems like it brought up an archive from 6 months ago. And Priority Notifications isn't working properly, among many other odd things going on.
I was going to start my own post about this but if anyone has any insight into what's going on I'd love to hear it. I may just re-flash the RUU and start from scratch.

Thanks guys, I have tried all button combination and USB/Wall Charger, so I found on internet some informativo on Security Mode of the Li-ion batteries so I have disassembled my phone and put some charge directly to the battery, that fixed it.

Man, I don't know if this is right but when I was talking with HTC Chat they said that holding all buttons for 1 minute could result in one factory reset.
Another thing that I think to be possible is that when your phone turned off the storage got corrupted, I had this a while back when using an AOSP ROM that was a little buggy

For me it looks like an isolated case, but if it happens again maybe your battery is faulty and is not holding the voltage. That happened with my old n4, but I'm just speculating here.

It wasn't a factory reset, I didn't have to set up Google Now again and was still able to log into all my Google apps automatically, I just had to go through the sign-in process for each again.
I'm thinking storage did get corrupted when the battery crapped out. I had enough of it, at any rate, and did a factory reset. Everything is smooth as butter again.
