How long to charge out of box

Received my Gnex from the play store this afternoon. It's been sitting on the wall charger for about an hour now and the phone still does not power up. Do I need to be worried?

Does the battery charging icon show up while it's charging?

Heh...yes, the battery is indeed in the phone but that's a good thing to verify!
I tried holding the power button for 20 seconds. Then did the same with the power button and up/down volume buttons held in for about 20 secs. Nothing at all.

Uh uh there's somethig wrong. It should have powered right on up. Most batteries come with a 50% charge. I'd contact Google and make em exchange it.

Try plugging it into a PC. See if that works. You can also hold Volume up + power (could be volume down + power...) and that opens the device in recovery mode.
Basically just try anything you can to change the way the device starts up. Try a different power outlet as well. Failing all those... Yes; you have a problem. I would attempt to return the device. There are ways of fixing a bricked Nexus, but there are no easy ways of fixing a Nexus that won't accept a charge.
EDIT: Reason why I'm asking you to plug it into a PC is because possibly only the wall plug is broken.

Hmmmmm....okay so I took the battery out with it plugged into the charger (which is something I had not done yet) and when I put the battery back in, the charging icon showed up for a few seconds but the phone still wouldn't power on. So I took the battery out again with the phone still plugged in and reinstalled it. Battery icon came back and then I was able to power on with the power button.
Very weird and somewhat concerning but I guess I'll see how it goes here.
Thanks for the quick and helpful replies everyone.

htc one x red light flashing and phone won't start

I have bought a htc one X a day ago, which was imported from some eastern country. The phone ran well for an hour or something.. and after that, it just dropped dead. The battery was about 60% when it dropped dead. And when I charge, the red light keeps on blinking. It won't turn on, or the red light will not be stable.
When i try to boot into bootloader, the phone does go into bootlader. But I have to keep my charging plug on. If i remove even for a second. the phones switches off again.
I can't go to warranty as this is a replacement. Some guidence will be appreciated. Thank you.

Hold down the power button and see if it powers on, if it does with no display cover the light sensor and see if the bottom keys power on

1. Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
2. With the device truly OFF (NOT ON STANDBY) , push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button And HOLD for 2 minutes and let go once 2 Minutes has passed.
Doing this will calibrate the Circuit within the battery charging system.

Bro i tried your guide, still cannot turn on my phone.. I want my phone back. any other guide please

If the phone doesn't power on & If the red led doesn't turn on while charging your phone then you should take it to service centre.. Might be a problem in battery or the motherboard

There is a batch file running about that helps charge from boot loader.
On phone so can't find it currently.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm currently in this situation myself. I read the thread suggested here, but it helps very little if you can't even get to fastboot. For what it's worth, I do have a custom recovery, but a stock image. And the mother board is okay - I've swapped in a different battery and that seems to work, but I do want to get my original battery to work...

guys i have a solution i guess .. put your phone connected to laptop or computer for several minutes dont remove . it might take sometime and afterwards you will listen the usb connecting voice and the blinking will stop and will be stable and then you can turn on the mobile

If you have a flashing power light
This is when your device has overheated and wont let you start up your OS.
Plug your phone in for afew minutes then hold down the power, volume up and down buttons at the same time untill a white developers screen comes up, disconnected your device from cable and click on recover and leave for a minute then plug you power lead back in and leave again. When you come back to you phone it the LED should be a solid color and you can then boot your device.
Any problems Message me, any time.
Thanks

And then?
After doing reset\calibration of battery circuit we put phone on the wall charger and wait until green LED.
Right?

Edit: wrong section, sorry

In most cases, must to change the cable or adapter, or both. I had the same problem twice.

Wont turn on!

Hello!
I dropped my LGOG E975 and the screen has cracked. The upper half would still work. But i could not turn the phone off. So i let the battery run dry. When i came back from vacation, approx. a month after, i sent it in to change the screen. It got changed, but now it has another problem:
It wont turn on! At the store they said they could not get the phone to boot. I took it to a charger and while holding the volumebuttons it showed the LG logo for a second, then blinked red a couple of times. This happend twice. Now if i hold the power button for 15 seconds and plug it in, it will quickly blink a red light.
What to do? I suspect it's something with the software.
FIY i unlocket the bootloader, rooted and installed a recovery. Dont remember which one tho'.

Update:
I can now enter fastboot or download mode. But the phone wont be found by kdz. flashers.

Try to access recovery from the fastboot screen, pushing 2 times volume down then power.

The phone turn black, blink red once and thats it.

As a sidenote, i can only put it in fastboot or downloadmode after i hold the powerbutton a while before plugging it in. Else the red LED wont blink.

I have no idea then
Have you tried to put it in fastboot without plugging it in? Volume down + Power button when the phone is off.

No response from the phone. Can it be a batteryproblem since the red LED flashes shortly when plugged in and entering fastboot/download mode or trying to open the recovery?

Maybe. Leave it charging for a while and try again.
My father always lets his phone die out of battery and he leaves it off for a while like that. When trying to power it back on, or when plugging it to the charger, the led flashes just like you described. It's not an OG, but it may be something similar what's happening to you, since you said you left it for quite some time turned off.

Okay, i will try to leave it over night. It will sit in the charger for 6 hours before my next check.

Try to upgrade/recovery with LG support tool in download mode

It would still not turn on. Tried multiple chargers and leaving the phone in for a long time. I got a new battery on the way.

Sometimes it helps to hold the power button a bit longer.

I held the powerbutton down for multiple minutes. Still no response. I ordered a new battery from Ebay. Hoping this would fix the issue. The battery have a expected delivery this week. Will update the thread with the results.

Hope it works :good:

I tried everything. Really. Every possible combination of buttons, chargers and cables. The phone would only give a response when plugging it in. So i expect it to be a charging problem with the current battery.

what was the outcome with the new battery?
im an currently experiencing an issue that sounds much the same as this, difference is that i was using the teenybin software and the HS shutdown halfway through the update, and now will not do a thing other than blink the RED LED when i hold the power button down whilst pugged into charger
also to mention, the battery life on the HS prior to this was reasonable..

Plug it in to charge for a while (1 hr or so), then hold down the power button + volume up for 20 seconds or so and see if it comes back to life.

okay i got my friend's charger and when i plugged it in it showed a picture of battery charging, i guess this is a good sign. Idk how it worked even though both chargers have an output of 5V and 2.5A... anyways thank you all

Maybe bad usb cable. The HTC charger should be 1.5a not 2.5a.

afaik it doesn't make a real difference. The phone caps it's limits at its max level so its no problem to use a charger with a higher amperage like 2,5

HTC One M8 has died. Only charging diode glows

Hey! Few days ago my M8 has stopped working. Just picked up the phone in the morning and it was dead (didn't charge it at night). Only charging diode glows orange when the charger is plugged in.
I've checked battery voltage with multimeter and it was 4,04V. Tried to hold power button with every combination with VOL+, VOL- and still nothing... Charging icon doesn't appear on screen. I've also checked every possible connection inside and everything is OK. Do you have any suggest? I really want to rescue it cuz it's the best audio recorder I've ever had Please help:crying:

Try holding just power button for a minute or so. Or try power+vol up for a minute.
Most folks don't realize you have to hold the button for so long, in this situation (battery ran down).

Try leaving it on the wall charger a few hours, and try again. Or try it with the charger connected.
I know you already tested the battery voltage as being good. But folks have had luck trying the various things I mentioned above. It's all you can do short of replacing the battery (which may not be the issue).

my device always red light is blinking. not open
