Need help!!! Is my galaxy nexus dead???

hi everyone
last night i was just using my gnexus as usual, then all of a sudden the device just freezes and then proceed to emit a loud noise, like a "buuuzzz" nonstop..i coundt turn it off through the pwer button so i decided to remove the battery..reinsert it, and then can't turn it on again..
tried to conect to pc, the device is not recognized..
cant power on with the charger plugged in..tried another charger, no success
meanwhile i'm trying to put the battery on an external charger to see if its an issue with the battery itself..
i'm starting to think that my nexus is dead..
please if someone cound help me, it would be much appreciated. thx in advance!!!
sorry for my broken english, i'm from brazil

So it doesn't vibrate or anything? You can't get into bootloader? No Odin?
If no, then try OMAP flashing. I never did it, so I don't quite know about it, but apparently this saved some good amount of people with the hard bricking.

Do you have the ability to give it a try with another battery?

Not in the moment, but the battery just runs fine with an external charger. But i'll try to find another one available..
The thing that really bothers me is the no response when plugged to the pc. Am i mistaken, or it should beep when connected through usb(without the battery)?
have the device for TWO months..wow...

no vibration at all
tried to get into bootloader, again no success

I had Similar issue with another phone. It was hardware related. Were you overclocked? Running custom Rom?
Are you under warranty?

Yeah I recently had something similar happen. Taking the battery out and plugging it into the computer did the trick and it booted back up. Something to try anyway.

Never messed with the clockspeed, however yes i'm using a custom Rom. Actually i've been using this for 3 days, no problems whatsoever. until now..do u think that's the cause? The phone is literally dead by now. Thats REALLY depressing. and the loud noise when it froze before it completely stopped working.. unbelievable

thanks for the link, although nothing happens when i plug the phone to the computer.

If it's dead go ahead and exchange of in warranty. The buzzing sound is a chip frying.

thx for the reply everyone!
So the strangest thing happened. i left the battery in the external charger for a full day..when a took it off and put it in the phone, pressed the pwr button with no sucess...nothing again...tried a couple of times..and yet nothing
five minutes later ,on a last ditch effort, pushed the pwer button once more and..FINALLY ! the thing wakes up..booted normaly, like nothing happened.
today when the battery runs out again(on about 2 %) i turned it off and connected the usb cable to charge in my work's pc..now again the same thing happens, phone is dead again. tried with 2 different cables..battery is already in the external charger, gonna try again tomorrow..
starting to think the problem is in the usb connector or the battery itself..but at least my biggest fear(fried phone) seems less likely

This link might (or might not) have relevance to your situation. Thought I'd post it on the chance that it does, and because the information seems unique and unavailable elsewhere.

thx for the link mate
Yeah, this really apears to be the most logical source of the issue..such a shame, i was really having a great time with this phone.
Re-inserted the battery fully charged and it's not turning on, tried 50x times alrealdy.
gonna call samsung later and see what will unfold..i'´ll post an update as soon as this situation is sorted out.

Nexus 7 wont turn on (Help desperately needed!!!)

Well im in a bit of a predicament, my Tab died while my cousin was using it and now ive put it on charge for 30 mins and it wont get past the flashing x boot screen googled it and noticed someone else has the same issue, is it common? any help?

You should be able to download and reflash the rom if needed but not sure if you have too.
What was your friend doing to it? Was he trying to unlock and root, etc?
Will it sync to your PC?

Last night I had a similar issue, it won't pass the initial Google logo.
I just held the power button down for a while, and it turned off, then I powered it on again and everything was fine.
It happened after I tried a bunch of apps and decided to restart it.

They were just watching YouTube videos then the tab ran out of juice, I can use bootloader fastboot ect but I'm in America atm and I'm leaving for England tomorrow morning so I don't have drivers or anything so I'm going to have to find all that again, with reflashing the Rom void my warranty in any way?

My won't get past the flashing x at all, rebooted several times, charged it, everything but it won't turn on

I am guessing it's related to the letting the battery run out of juice.
Charging a completely dead lithium battery may take much longer time. For several times I have to plugin and wait half hour to several hours before the battery even start charging, of course those were on other devices, but I think it should be common among all such batteries. May be the battery hasn't been charged at all.
Since you are still in US, I would suggest take it back for a exchange, whatever the reason, the device should be considered faulty. If you brought it on Amazon then just return and mail it out before you leave.

fixed it by resetting the device in recovery, all works fine now, found a dead pixel now not going to risk returning it now, device is working fine

Seems like it's a 4.3 issue

[Q] My Nexus 7 doesn't turn on or charge

Hello guys.
I wanna start saying that i found a couple of threads about this issue but none of them was about the 2013 version of this tablet.
Two days ago I was on a plane to London, i turned off my Nexus 7 2013 (the device has at max 3 months and i bought it brand new) that was fully charged.
During the flight I didn't turn it on...when I was at home, approximately 3 hours after, I tried to turn it on without success...tried to recharge it but no response from it...no blinking or steady white light.
Till now I still can't figure out what happened to it considering I just turned it off normally.
I tried all the steps provided by several google official support pages without luck. I also opened the back cover too see if some connectors were not properly attached; no problems there.
I am really starting to think that something broke.
My question would be: I bought it directly from Amazon and I was wondering if it's a problem that I rooted it and I installed a custom rom on it. Is it possible that sending it back will result in having it back myself without any kind of repair attempt?
Thanks to everyone will give this some time

Have you happened to try booting it into fastboot regardless of it not actually starting up? It's a long shot but you could try it.
Also if Amazon can't turn it on either it shouldn't be a problem.

By fastboot you mean the procedure where you have to press volume down + power button?
Anyways i kinda tried everything, it just doesn't respond.
Altough what I noticed just yesterday was that if I plug it to the charger it gets warm on the back, upper part meaning that the power still goes through...
But thinking that this is something related to the battery doesn't feel right...it was fully charged when I turned it off the last time.
I think i should give it back with RMA...It feels like the only choice i have.

Nexus 5X Bricked after Andriod 7 Update

Hi
I updated the latest OTA Android 7 last night and the phone will not turn on and my laptop does not recognise it at all.
Do I now have an expensive paper weight?
Anybody else had this?
Thanks

Nothing at all, I have been trying to reboot it all day and nothing, I'm very very sad

But dont you know if something went wrong /battery was discharged while upgrading? Any reaction when you plug a charger?

No sign of life
Hi
Nothing, the phone was fully charged, the phone went to reboot after the update and it never came back, when I plug it into the supplied OEM wall charger and I get no sign of life.

It seems bootloader is corrupted, weird, I would send Phone RMA but wait for other mates' mind

So when you say "I updated the latest OTA Android 7 last night"- does that mean Google actually pushed it to you or did you sideload it?
I'm having the same issue but didn't sideload it - I was away from my phone for several hours, came back and it was dead, no boot up nothing and I have no idea why or if N was pushed to my device while I was not watching.

The ota update wont install unless you give permission to download and then restart to install...

in the forums someone said that if nothing works then few bands pressing the power button will dry the battery out after a day. later it should work again (after some charging ofc )

Hi
OK, it was not side loaded it was OTA I gave permission and it downloaded installed rebooted and then died.
I will leave it off charge for a day or two and then give it another try,
FYI, my record for holding the buttons down so far is 2 minutes then I gave up and my fingers where blue.
Thanks for your help

Yeah I think 2 minutes is quite enough. If you just can't get the phone to turn on you only have one choice.. RMA. Sorry.

Really? When i formatted my HTC one s bootloader i tried that too.
Ej guy try to boot into LG download mode. (That shouldnt be formatted).
(Volume Up + Power wait 3 seconds then plug in power cable)

Update, I left the phone off charge for three days and then plugged it back in, it flash's red about 4/5 times and then nothing?
What does the flashing red mean, I know it mean nothing good.
Flashing red never does!
Thanks

My phone seems to be having the same issues yours is having. I got a notification that Android 7.0 Nougat was available, so I downloaded it. Sunday night I was playing on my phone when it froze, I turned it off and tried to restart it. It flashed the Google Splash screen and then died. Its been 3 days since my phone has worked. During this time I've tried everything I could think of to try to make it start. My computer won't even recognize the device. I get a "device descriptor request failed" notification from my computer. I called Google on Sunday and they're sending me a warranty replacement.
I tried to turn it on this morning and the LED flashed red. I'm going to charge it and see what happens. Hopefully, I can pull my pictures off of the phone before the warranty item arrives. (I'm dumb/paranoid and didn't back them up on Google Cloud. Lesson learned.)

Guys. Are we on stock recovery, bootloader & radio? If people are flashing ota's with modified recovery's, this is the problem.

No mine was stock.

Mine is also 100% stock.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

wow stock phones having this? Scary.
Ive done this to myself in the past. I know people generally frown on this advice but Ive used wugfresh's tool box to pop it back to life.
Generally I plug the phone in and just fiddle with the power and refreshing the TB until something get recognized. One time I was able to get it to the bootloader than just let google do everything from there.
Scary stuff.
Are you at least seeing a backlight?

Dead D855, would love any help. Thanks.

Hello,
So I had my D855 for 2 years and than, out of nowhere, my SD card didn't work anymore. I still think it is hardware issue.
But as it is 32gb device, I was fine with that.
And few days later it just turned itself off. No powering off device thing, it just went dead in my hand while I was replying to sms.
Nothing strange, I thought, so I took battery out, back in, nothing.
Plugged it in wall charger, nothing.
Longpress power (15 sec), nothing.
Volume down + power button, nothing.
New battery, nothing.
Charged it over night, nothing.
Plugged it in with no battery, nothing. Not even "can't charge" message. Plain dead.
Tried several other things, with no luck.
And I gave up, and left it on the shelf.
Last night, as a joke, I pressed POWER button and IT CAME ON! LG logo showed on the screen, and after 4-5 seconds, went dead again.
I have no idea what to try next, but this sign of life bring back hope to me.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
PS English is not my native, so sorry.

Forgot most important thing. I was on stock, and was never rooted! I have Nexus for that

Genuinely sounds like an issue with the battery. You might think otherwise, but get a new battery and give it a try. A dodgy or dying battery can cause insane amounts of issues, from SD card to display issues primarily because it's throwing out strange voltage readings.
Give it a try, if it doesn't work it's only cost a few £/$ but you'd be surprised.

I did try battery from friends g3, and it didn't work, but I'll get new one today and give it a try.

I went to the store, and this kind guy let me to try before I buy. So he opened brand new battery, and still dead.
I did wait with that battery inside for 10ish min, and even tried to plug the charger in, but nothing happened.
Any new ideas mate?
