So I came home from work today only to discover that my new Nexus 7 will no longer turn on. It's not out of battery since it's been sitting on the charger all day and nothing I have done will make the device turn on. Oddly the device will get warm when I plug it into the charger. Has this happened to anyone else?
With my N4 I found that if he device would not turn o plugging it into a computer USB port for 5 minutes or so would resolve the problen
Not sure if that would work since the charging logo doesn't even show up. Anyways, I'm just returning it to Amazon. Unbelievable that a tablet would just die like this in 4 days.

Sometimes folks have found an offending app like netflix can lock up the CPU so it is no longer responsive to the power button. For this situations press and hold the power button for 30 seconds an the unit should reboot.
There is a separate problem where if the tablet is drained of battery completely, sometimes it will not turn on until it gets some trickle charge. Leaving it attached to the power adapter a couple of hours usually resolves it, but sometimes it will only accept lower amp charge so try the USB port on a computer too.
Had the exact same problem this morning on my N7. Holding down the power button long enough solves it as described above.
Already tried holding the power button down as well as power+volume down. I had it charging all day and it was at ~90% before I put it on the charger before leaving.. So there's no way it could have ran out of battery.
Regardless, I'm sending it back for a new one. Having these issues within 4 days doesn't give me hope that it'll last a long time free of issues even if I did get it working again. Hopefully the second one will be free of issues.

Guys im having an issue with my week old s3...my battery power hit 0 percent and phone turned off and now when i plug it in it wont turn on. It will give me the little battery icon for less than a second before shutting off. I am getting no response from the phone and dont know what to do. I tried volume+ up and volume +down to no avail. Im pretty irritated at this point and need some insight. Have tried diffrent chargers and they all give me battery icon before shutting of.
What room are you on?
Have you tried just letting it charge and sit there
When my s3 but zero I plugged it in
Didn't lead power till like 5 min afterwards and it worked fine

Having the exact same problem on my phone as well running FreeGS3 v3.0 and Ktoonz kernel.
This is how I fixed mine.
Plug it in and get it to show the empty battery with a circle in it. Once you see that plug it in and leave it alone for a while at least five minutes, yes the battery sign should only stay for a second. It should just go black screen no charging light.*After five minutes or so unplug it, pull the battery, and put it back in leave the phone unplugged and hold the power button a while. Some times they act weird when they dieThis is how I fixed mine.

When you plug it in, and see the icon, let it go for on charge for about 10s, unplug the usb, then hold the power button and see if it turns on then.
Mine will be in my pocket and won't respond like it is off. I have to hold the power button for 10seconds and it will come back on This is only happening shortly after a full charge. FreeGS3 Rom.
So is this a rom issue?

I made a thread because I was having the exact same problem. Click on the link I attached in my first post. It's from the T-Mobile GS3 because they are having the same issue. The last post said flashing back to stock fixed the problem.
Just ran into this issue yesterday. I threw the battery into a standalone Anker charger for a while to get some juice back, and the phone powered up and charged fine from there.
I'm also on FreeGS3/ktoonsez.

Also had this issue with ktoonz's kernel and freegs3. Went back to stock kernel and it's fine. I ended up using a friend's phone to get battery to charge.
Flashed Lifeless last night. Everything was working fine, left the phone charging at 10% then today I wake up to a dead phone. Wont charge, wont boot. Only sign of life is holding the power button down for like 20 sec and the battery LED will turn on for like 20 sec but only if its plugged in. What gives? Anyone have any idea what might be going on?
Plug into a 2 amp charger or do a battery pull.

Same thing has happened to me! I have done a battery pull as well with no avail. I am using a 1.2 A charger, the one that came with my phone and still nothing. I can get the red light as well but nothing else. I have pronounced the Phone as DEAD and have already bought a new phone(funds are tight so it was a was crappy situation). If ANYONE has a real working solution to this PLEASE tell us!(I'd greatly appreciate it)

You held the power button for 10 seconds? Try going to recovery or bootloader or download mode

Similar situation
I'm on stock but had the same problem. Phone totally discharged, plugged it into my car charger, phone got hot by camera but did not charge. Got home plugged it into stock charger, same thing. Battery charging on screen, phone hot, then dim light on screen. tried for a day or so, no luck.
Tried holding power button for 20-30 seconds, nothing, Vol up and down + power, nothing. By accident held power and vol up and charging light came on, held it for a minute, and it stayed on, let go, out it went. As a last resort, put two rubber bands around the phone to hold in power and Vol up and bingo! Charging light stayed on! left it overnight and found the phone completely charged in the AM, green light flashing. Been working fine for days, Willnot let it get too low of a charge in the future.
Just a couple days ago, my power button on my galaxy nexus started to act really weird. When i press it, the screen would shut off (as usual) and then a minute later, the screen would turn on again as if someone pressed it.
Later on, the power button started to have problems. The symptoms included not turning the screen off when needed and pressing really hard to shut off the screen.
And then this morning, the screen shut off and I pressed the power button again. Phone didn't turn on at all. So I took out my battery, plugged the phone with the USB cable into a power outlet, put my battery back in and tried turning it on. Instead of turning it on to the usual Google sign, it went to a white centered battery sign showing that it is being charged.
I tried turning on again, by pressing Power + Volume on the phone. No use. Tried again to take out battery, SIM card even, plugged the phone into a computer and plugged the battery back in. No use. I also left it charging and plugged out my cell/battery to let it rest for 4 hours. No use.
I bought this phone a month ago and it worked all fine until this week. Seriously missing this phone. What is wrong with it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sounds like the power button is broke.

Maybe an app recently installed. It can turn on the screen and turn off when the app want, and can freeze your phone. Check your latest installed applications and then tell us...

This ^
I've had my 360 for a little over a week and this is a first for me. Earlier today it was down to around 25% so I figured I would top it off. It got up to 76% and stayed there. I took it off the charger and three hours later, it still shows the charging screen at 76% and I can't get it off that screen. I hoped I could reboot it, but a long press of the button does nothing. The only thing it does do is turn the screen off when it times out. Hopefully it will discharge overnight and be okay in the morning.
Has anyone else experienced this? How would you reset, reboot, or power off the watch if it's locked up?
Keep the button pressed for 25-30 seconds. It should turn off.

Thanks, I pressed it for a good 15-20 seconds with nothing happening, so maybe I didn't hold it long enough. I'll remember that if/when it ever happens again. It did die overnight and is charging now. :fingers-crossed:
Same here
I also was stuck on charge. I thought I held the button down for a really long time.. But seeing the 25 sec suggestions I tried for an insanely long hold and that worked.
Thanks
Also just had this problem. Holding down for 30s worked.
moto360 in charging limbo
Originally bought my watch in September or so, pre-release. Had a few bad pixels, returned for an exchange.
Had this exchanged watch for past 9 months or so, all of sudden it start lagging and discharging and lots of other goodies.
Latest, NOW it is stuck on the charging screen, on or off the dock. Drained the battery a few times only to return to the same screen.
On the dock, sometimes it displays time, sometimes its dark. Off the dock its off, then with tap it will show the charging screen once every 5 taps.
I recently bought my Zenfone 2 from Gearbest and when it came, I let it charge a bit. I eventually got it to boot with about 8% of a charge. I then left it for a while when I did something. When I came back, I found my phone to be shut down and when I tried to boot it up, it shown a low battery icon. Very weird since it was plugged into my PC the entire time.
I then started the phone once again. But when I pressed the power button, it shut down instead of sleeping.
I repeated turning it on a few times. Every time I pressed the power button to make it go to sleep, it instead shut down. Eventually, it stopped booting entirely. There is no vibration, indicator light, or screen. When I plug it in, the top half of the phone heats up significantly. I have had no luck trying to revive it.
I have tried:
Letting it charge for about an hour.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery.
Pushing both volume and power.
The phone is running pure stock as I only had about 30 minutes of total screen on time.
Your pc probably isn't supplying enough power. Use a dedicated wall charger.

When I originally plugged into my PC, it was charging. I have also moved to the wall charger that came in the box.
