So I had my tablet laying around for a few days and it was on so I go to use it today and I hit power button and expected the lock screen, nope. Held button in to turn it on and nothing happened except the notification light blinked 5 times exactly and then nothing happened. I figured it was dead so let it charge for 10 mins and tried to turn on and the light blinked 5 times. Now it does nothing no light and won't turn on or boot into recovery or do anything. Never had any problems with it in past.

The battery is completely drained, the nexus only has enough power to blink 5 times. I guess to show you that's its not broken. You will need to charge it for at least 30 mins, but I would recommend a dew hours before trying again. If you get nothing after a few solid hours on charge then there is a problem with the battery, but hopefully it won't come to that.

Okay, so before i went to bed about 8 hours ago, i was playing with Unified Remote and web browsing. I fell asleep and forgot to plug in the charger, but my phone was safely tucked under my pillow. This morning i awoke to check the time, and my phone just wouldn't wake up. Then i noticed it wasn't even on?
So i did the key combo, and nothing happened as i frantically reached for a charger. Just to find the charger did nothing either, along with 5 other's.
Is there anyway to jump start the phone? Or any cause to this? Phone's just don't spontaneously stop working.
Thankyou for any replies or ideas.
Leave it connected to the charger till the red light turns on.
I've had this happen to me twice. Thought id bricked it somehow. Just leave it plugged in as mentioned above. The light should initially flash for a while and eventually stay on solid (red light obviously). I got mine going by holding power and vol down like you would to enter hboot and plugging/unpluging a few times. don't let it drain in future!

Thanks guys, it worked! But i have no idea how it drained? Any idea how this happened?
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 got my Sprint M8 just few hours ago, rooted, .S-ON.
At first it worked fine, but after left it in my pocket for about 30 min with about 45% battery power, the phone powered down by itself, and there was no way to power it on again.
I tried to charge the phone with the stock charger for more than 3 hrs, the screen was always showing an empty battery logo with a flash icon inside, no green charging indicator, and the orange LED beside the speaker was blinking all the time.
I also tried to push Power+Vol up for more than 20 seconds, still nothing happened.
Is anyone know how to fix this?

Push Power + Vol up again, but this time hold the phone under a bright light, in particular the area of the front camera and sensor needs to be under the light. Keep holding down until it reboots.
20 seconds isn't enough ... once I had to hold it for about a min before it jumped back to life

Try to hold it for more than 5 min and no chance to boot it. :crying:
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.
