So I forgot to plug my phone to the charger last night so I woke up to a dead phone. Plugged it in let it charge a lil bit, turned it on the and now the phone boots and reboots in and endless cycle. It seems from watching it, that it reboots right about the time the 3g radios would kick in but that's just a guess. I've battery pulled a bunch of times already and I'm not sure what else to try, but any ideas? Phone is stock btw.

In case anyone experiences this:
Well took it into Sprint last night and the tech couldn't do anything so he wiped the phone back to stock.
Upon rebooting the phone froze. He went to try it again and the phone wouldn't respond. Went and got a new battery again nothing. My phone was a brick. He went and told his boss and I got a brand new phone, glad it was within the 14 day window.
Kind of a pain and I certainly hope it was just a fluke.
The good news is my phone had already gotten 3 slight screen surface scratches which I have no idea as to how cause I'm very careful with my phone. So this time around I put a screen protector on this thing. Guess the Gorilla Glass on my old Epic was no joke as I had that for almost 2 years with no signs of wear and tear.

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.
I just received my new phone via UPS a couple of hours ago. The sim card was already in it, I popped the battery in, and I turned the phone on. The AT&T chime played but the screen never lit up. The capacitive buttons will light up and make a sound when touched, but the screen is still dead. I've had it plugged in for over an hour and the screen still won't light up. I've restarted it, removed and replaced the battery and the sim card several times and no dice.
Did any of you have to fully charge the phone the first time you started it up before the screen would come on? Definitely sounds like a dumb question to me since I've never needed to fully charge any new phone I've ever had before I could use it, but I figured I'd ask in case this is a weird new feature. I'll leave it charge overnight and if it still isn't working, I'll make my way to the store hoping they still have stock.
Did your phone sit out in cold weather at all?

Not as far as I know. I live in Louisiana and it isn't that cold out yet.
No being that I live in Louisiana to id say its not cold enough yet. Well sorry but that's kinda all I got for you. Sucks that its not working. I got mine this morning coming from the s3 this phones amazing

Good question though, thanks.
So I was on my way home from a vacation weekend and my wife was texting my boss in the passenger seat (more time off ) and the phone just shut off. I knew it had more than 50% battery so I pulled it and tried everything I know. I tried swapping batteries and everything. No luck. I also went and plugged it into a computer expecting the OMAP flash... Nothing
I think she's completely and utterly dead. Even plugging it into an outlet does not display the battery symbol.
Sucks because I was going to ride it out for the next Nexus.... Now I don't know what I am going to do. I may get a 8GB N4 but with the 32 coming out in a few weeks I expect the 16 to drop in price, so I may get a One X on the new Tmobile deal since I want unlimited data instead of the 5GB cap I have on the pay as you go plan now... Kinda blows

Ive had this issue last night, left the phone with 62% and this morning it was dead, i pulled the battery a couple of times, nothing, then i cleaned the battery pins and let it charge for 5 minutes or so and it turned on with 3% battery, the battery screen showed it dropping from 60ish to 0, so it shut down, maybe this is what happend to you too, have you tried cleaning the pins or replacing the battery ?

Yeah I have 3 batteries and I charged the stock one all the way last night with a standalone charger and it is still dead. I cleaned the connectors with a cloth and alcohol and still nothing.
Thank goodness it is still under warranty for 2 more days... Yikes

first of all thank you for taking the time to read through this.
Yesterday I woke up and reached over to check my LG G3. I had left it charging overnight as I usually do and while the phone was still plugged in and I tried to go through my notifications, the screen flickered and went off. I was puzzled cause the phone was fully charged and the screen has no cracks and barely any scratches. I was trying to restart it and the LED light started flashing as I heard a notification sound.... I proceeded to take out the battery hoping thatd help out and nothing.
I thought my LCD took a **** on me but I tried to restart the phone once more about an hour later and then the LG logo came on shinny as ever. Then the AT&T logo, I thought all was well but then the screen flickered again and went off. A few moments later I started to hear more notification sounds and I saw the LED light start blinking.... everything in the phone works except the screen.
I changed my sim card to an old blackberry knock off so I wouldnt be cut off from the world while I went to work and when I came home I tried to play with it once more and the phone started working normally! As I was playing with it I raised the brightness and the screen started to flicker again but did not shut off. I immediately brought down the brightness and the phone seemed to work normally I then tried to open the camera and the screen went off completely same happened when I tried to refresh an app. What could this be? the battery? currently I the screen doesnt stay on for more than 10 seconds and does not work at all when plugged in to charge
Also in the last couple of weeks I was experiencing overheating but I assumed it was because of the rise in temperatures and the fact I spend most of my day outside and Im constantly using my phone. I am also guilty of using my phone while charging.
Any input you may have is going to be helpful. I need to figure this out as I use my phone to work more efficiently.
Thank you in advance!
I am having the same issue. I'm going to contact LG about this on Monday.

got answer ?
Yeah, they changed the entire display and said that the error could come from a defect battery. So i bought a new one and hoped for the best.
I still had the error today. I will try installing another rom so I can be sure it isn't the software.
Or else LG will be getting it again.

Well, they got it again... Twice. They changed the LCD panel and the mainboard. It seems that the latter fixed it. I got it back on Saturday and haven't had any problems since then.
Fingers crossed

I forgot about this post but I used my warranty last year and got a new phone or refurbished. They didn't tell me. Here I am a year later with the new phone and the same problem came back. The only thing that seems to work is baking the main board at 350 for 10 minutes and letting it cool down in the oven for 30 yet the problem comes back. After a week or so. I'm convinced the overheating of the phone is he culprit

My G4 seemed to be running hot yesterday and I had to charge it several times more than normal. All of a sudden it shut down would not boot back up. I tried everything but it will not go in to recovery or download mode. No lights come on at all when charger is connected either. One time I was able to get the MEIE number to flash and it said press power to reboot before it blanked out again. I called Verizon and they said it sounded like a complete system/software crash. I am rooted but haven't made any changes to my phone in several weeks. Verizon overnighted a replacement to me and it should be at my house when I get home. I wonder if this is the same issue that has been happening to the Sprint version that was recalled? Possibly the phone was just mad at me because it happened an hour after I ordered my Nexus 6p......lol
Now that it's cooled off can you boot it up?
I would think you could have just rebooted it when you first noticed it was hot.

No it still doesn't boot up. I can get to the LG screen for maybe a second and it shuts back down. When I first noticed that it was hot I could reboot it. I let it cool off before restarting it but the problem persisted. What ever was causing it to overheat was also draining the battery. I had to charge the phone up twice by 2:00 pm. My "certified like new replacement" arrived on Friday and initially everything was good. On Saturday the Wifi disconnected and would not turn back on. The icon just sits there and blinks at me. If I go in the settings menu it is grayed out and doesn't give me the option to turn it on. I just got off the phone with Verizon and they are sending me another G4. Hopefully I will have better luck with this one. I would like to have a working phone that I can sell when my Nexus 6p arrives.
Sorry this is totally off topic but, did you have to pay a deductible to get a new phone?

No I didn't. It was Warranty replacement so it didn't have to go through insurance.
I had a similar issue last week, no root, running 12a. Phone shut itself off during normal usage (checking football scores). Running a little hot so let cool. Never booted past Verizon splash screen. Tried fresh battery, factory reset, safe mode. Nothing. Got my "certified like new" model. So far so good, but 6P here I come.

Hmmm well good timing if you ordered a Nexus 6P. You can sell it like new.
Haha I was just watching "The Nexus 6P will bend in half if you try to bend it in half" video. I'd be interested in a size comparison between the 2.
So this exact thing happened to me, just several days after I got it (same thing, also rooted, nothing much done to the phone).
I had figured the battery ran dead (because I knew it was low), but it just wouldn't power on. Chargers wouldn't light it up. I put it on the charger for hours, and nothing happened. Lost all hope.
Then, randomly, I decided to see if Download Mode would work on my phone. I don't know why I tried it.
I pulled battery, and put it back. I held on Volume (up?) on the phone, and plugged it into the computer.
OH MY GOD -- IT CAME TO LIFE -- ! DOWNLOAD MODE!
I shut it down from download mode, then turned it back on (I think a battery pull) and it worked again.
I was completely relieved.
This happened to me a second time, weeks later.
The same solution worked.
I hope that this helps someone.
TL;DR: Try Download Mode (pull battery and put it back in -- then, while holding the volume Up key on the phone, plug USB into your computer)
