Hi there
I purchased a moto360 in the USA whilst on holiday. It has been working perfectly fine for the last month. Two days ago the battery died and it will now not turn on.
The charging indicator light comes on when it is on the dock however that is all. There seems to be no way to get it booted (holding for 25sec + etc)
Any idea what I can do here?
Have you left it on the dock for 10-15 mins and seen what happens?
yes- i have left it overnight
tried everything
Press the button for 1 minute.

Same thing here
I have the same situation for 12 days.
I leave charging on the original charger and on the qi charger of galaxy s4 for 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hours, 24 hours and nothing.
Also, I had pressed and hold the power button for 3s, 30s, 45, 1 min, 2 min and 3 minutes and still nothing.
I´ve my watch since last Friday and it seemed to be dead EVERY DAY at least once but i got i back booting. On Monday i started a chat with Motorola. They said, I should hold the button for about a minute, but nothing happend. Then they said, I have to write Amazon (I bought the watch from Amazon). Amazon offered me, to replace my watch, but i have to wait at least 1-2 months again. So i said no and managed to boot it up by myself after 3 hours of waiting. However, by now i am very disappointed from the watch. BTW: Mine is also dead again at the moment.
Try to put it on the dock and press the button at the same time. Worked twice for me.
Edit: Booted up after 2 h
Yeah, the same thing happened to mine. I've tried holding the power button for up to 5 minutes, and still nothing. I'm calling Motorola today to see what the issue is.
I've tried it all too - still have a pretty paper weight
I'm trying to go through Moto Support which is proving very difficult
If anyone has a solution etc please post - my issue is i bought when OS on holidays - no support here in OZ
I just got done talking to Motorola. It seems this is a fairly common occurrence as one of the first things I was asked was if my moto 360 turned on. They made me hold the power button for like 2 minutes, and when that didn't work, they were happy to replace it for free. Hopefully their support is as easy for other people. :good:

Motorola Support has a chat service. It's never taken me more than 3 or 4 minutes to connect to them that way.
I bought in NY 15 days ago during vacations, and now i've returned to Brazil.
I've tryed everything i read and nothing happened .
Basically, i'm ****ed.

I mean you could send it to someone in the US and get them to replace it for you if you know anybody you can trust not to steal it. Other than that, I'm not sure.

Hey all. I now have an imported Galaxy Nexus that won't turn on, here's what happened...
I bought the phone back in April and haven't had a single problem with it until now. On this past Monday I woke up, got ready for work and unplugged my fully charged GNex from my wall charger as I do every morning. On my way to work I popped my GNex into the Samsung car dock to listen to music as I do every morning. When I got to work I popped out my GNex from the dock and sat at my desk for a while. I went to check something on my phone and it felt kinda hot, I thought nothing of it and kept working. Maybe 10 minutes later I checked if it was still hot and it was, uncomfortably hot, and the battery was at like 40% (this was about 40 minutes after I took it out of the car dock).
This made me think that by some chance a program was running crazy in the background, so I restarted my phone. Booted back up, plugged it into a wall charger I have at my desk, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. I then picked it back up and it was still burning hot, now I shut it down again, unplugged it, and pulled the battery out until it cooled down (about another 10 minutes).
Now I popped the battery back in and booted it up. Starts to get hot again and now the battery is at 4%. At this point I think "WTF..." and turn the phone off and let it sit there with the battery in. Keep it in there until the battery completely discharges (the phone isn't hot anymore) thinking that maybe it's having trouble reading the battery stats idk no big deal right? Turns out no, very big deal.
Let it sit there for an hour with no battery in it, then plugged it in and tried to power it on. Nothing. Pulled the battery, popped it back in, and let it sit with the charger in it for 30 minutes. Nothing. The phone isn't getting hot at this point like it was. So I try all the button combinations with the volume buttons and power buttons and still nothing. Even when I plug the phone in the charging battery animation doesn't show up.
When I leave it plugged into the wall charger now, the phone gets a little warm as you'd expect when you charge your phone, not hot like before. I took the phone apart and saw nothing wrong with it, but then again I'm not a hardware guy so I took it to a phone repair shop. He took a look at it and couldn't find anything weird with it either (besides it doesn't work).
In this mess I tried to contact Samsung and take advantage of my "International" warranty but no dice as I'm sure most of you know (this is my $450 lesson). Samsung USA said they won't even fix it if I pay them, I have to do it through Samsung UK which is a nightmare.
The last kick to floor was seeing my credit card charged for the desk dock that I ordered a week before the day this happened. I've ordered a new battery on the off chance that maybe that's the problem, if not I'll be buying another GNex with a US Warranty from the Play Store.
Any bits of hope anyone has for me? Is it even worth my while to ship it off to another phone repair store that says they can "fix it no problem"? Sorry for the long post, everyone always says to post as much detail as possible so I did!! lol. Thanks for reading!!
In the same boat, my Nexus just died today. It is completely unresponsive. Plugging the phone into the computer with no battery will not display any OMAP hardware.
hmm I'm wondering now what is the reason? is it 4.0.4 update? my phone is getting warm after the update too, and the cpu consumes 30% power. but its not too hot, only one area, on the virtual SD card area.
where did you order your GN from? depending on which website... they may "fulfill" your warranty if you're within their warranty time frame.

Off an Amazon retailer, I already checked and they said no :-( I should be getting this battery soon, hopefully that fixes it. I highly doubt it though.
Good news, the website I got mine from(Dailysteals) is willing to do an exchange or refund for me. Surprisingly, I didn't even have to go through a lot of trouble for them to issue an RMA for me. I just had to explain my situation with them about Samsung USA/UK unwillingly to repair the phone.

Nice! When did you buy it from them?
Mine just bit the dust today as well. Just contacted Handtec and hoping they'll warranty it. It was running just fine up until today and now ODIN won't write to NAND. The same thing that happened in this thread is what happened to my phone:

When I bought it, I remembered that it says 1 year warranty in the description. I mentioned this to them when I explain to them that I can't get it repaired by either Samsung USA/UK.

I just hope Handtec covers it. I've never dealt with their warranty before and I've been trying to find if anyone had any experiences with it. I remember people saying they'd cover it for 24 months which is why I went with them in the first place.

Good luck, they probably updated the warranty thing after the March sale because of the confusion with the warranty status.

Absolutely. I replaced the batter with the official Samsung extended 200mAh and it turned on, funny thing is though that the same thing is happening again...it still turns on but it's getting super hot and draining almost instantly. The phone shows that it's plugged into power but it says under the battery option that the device is not charging, weird. This is what it shows my battery stats as:

The first death drop in charge is when this all started, the second one is what's happening now. It seems to be charging okay now via PC USB which doesn't make sense to me, cause I tried my wall charger and my car charger earlier and it got super hot and said it wasn't charging.
My phone is getting hot right around the area of the "Texas Instruments TWL6030 Fully Integrated Power Management with Switch Mode Charger" as seen here:

I see. So your phone is draining the battery and not charging at all. Have you considered doing a factory reset? Maybe invest in a battery charger for the time being until the phone starts to charge the phone properly.
Oh, just a follow up on my situation. My NAND is still broken beyond repair. Tried ODIN, OMAP flash, different USB cables, drivers and nothing will write to the NAND. I contacted Handtec and they told me to RMA it to them. So I'm gonna be doing that some time this week. They want original box and everything that came with the phone so I'm trying to gather all of that before I ship it to them. Hopefully the turn around will be quick cause this Galaxy S (which also had a NAND hardware failure and repaired once by Samsung then failed again) is getting old quick.
So something quite unfortunate happened to me last night. I factory reset my watch since I installed a new rom on my Moto G, and ever since I did that, the screen is black. Nothing else. The power button isn't doing anything regardless of how long I hold it in or whatnot, and it's just not doing anything, it's a brick. It's not rooted or boot loader unlocked or anything either. When it place it on the charging dock though, the light at the bottom of the dock lights up so I know it's charging at least, but I just really don't know what happened to it. Do you guys think it's toast?
--Edit--
So I spoke to Motorola's live assistance, and if this issue arises for anyone else, hold the power button down for about 2-3 minutes and it should boot into the bootloader, from there you can either attempt a fastboot reboot command or a normal powerup.
I tried your solution. But nothing happened. I think i have the same problem. Mine won't show anything, but when i tried charging, the light on the dock light up. Do you have any other solution? Thanks

You also got yours from the states? I only know one other people who use the moto 360 and he also got it from the US. I'll check with him tomorrow. Can you check how much will it cost to ask for a replacement in Malaysia? Going there on middle of May, if it's cheaper, i'd rather pay the replacement there. Hehehe

I think there can be three reasons for the black screen.
1. The watch has hung and needs the 2-3 minute bottom press as posted by the OP.
2. You use Watchface or Watchface Pro like myself. It has occasionally crashed on me. After several taps, I eventually have the menu come up and can get to settings/reset. I then have the default Moto face and can reselect Watchface. Hope this bug is fixed soon.
3. Hardware failure. LCD displays have a single backlight and if it fails so does the display.
I hope it's either #1 or 2 that you are running into.
this happens to me whene android wear crashes on the watch. i was able to notice the force close notification before it went to a black screen and did not respond until the battery died. once the battery was dead i placed it back on the charger and eventually it turned on. this has only happened maybe three times since i bought the watch at launch.

I've tried #1 but failed to force restart the watch. #2 seems not applicable to me since I'm using Facer.
[Solved]
Hi,
I faced the same issue suddenly (black screen) since yesterday, i came across your thread today trying to find a solution, and tried every solution posted here (e.g. holding 2~3 min on power bottom) several times, but no success!!
I put the watch at charging dock and the charging LED in the dock is ON.... but the watch is just showing black screen ... until i thought it might be from the USB cable... so i change it with its original USB cable which comes with it in the box (while unaware; i used a cheap USB cable from the market 2 days ago while organising chargers/cables in electricity outlet, without realising that i changed the USB cables), and once i used the original USB cable... it's started to work/charge immediately.
Solved

I hold the power button for 3 minutes, however nothing happened.
Soon after holding i put it back on the charger and it restarted itself and everything was perfect.

Yeah. I'm having the same issue. The only thing that allows me to turn the watch back on is to put it on the charger. Been dealing with this for a few months.
after I changed rom I can not associate my bike away bluethoot.

someone has this problem?
I have the same thing! Really frustrating.
If I put it on the charger there is nothing. If I put it in a "funny" way the light on the duck is on and I can even see the battery sign shown but it disappeared after a few seconds.
I used different chargers and cables and outlets in my house and other places - same thing.
I even tried a friend's charger (original moto 360 charger) but nothing.
I did try the "holding" (3 min is a bit much, no?) - nothing happens. I do have a blister on my hand from doing that 5 times
Any other ideas?
I bought this watch because I was curious and now i can't be without it. I will buy another one if there is no resolution.
I have the same issue. I put the watch aside for a few days (still haven't exhausted the battery), and then put it on its original charger, a few minutes later, the display come back! Don't know why, and don't know whether it will happen again...
I had a little Rd trip to take so as I was driving I was charging my watch. When I arrived I noticed the screen was blank and would not turn on... I can't even reboot it by the button on the underside. I let it sit for over 24 hr (my battery would never last that long ) when I try to charge it the cradle lights but the watch doesn't but what it does fo is give a short vibration once every 3 secs. How can I get this replaced or repaired is there a direct Asus number for the watch department? I've gotten used to wearing my watch daily.. Kinda feel odd not having it on.

Same here, no solution I know of yet.
I think it has become a common problem of Zenwatch. I have already seen several post on this forum regarding the same problem. One of my friends has also faced the same problem. His watch is dead now. I suggest you to contact with service center.
This happened to me a couple of days ago. I bought a replacement charging bracket from Amazon and it's working again!
My watch has entered a weird state. Probably after an update but I haven't noticed anything.
While off charger, it just tries to restart all the time. The screen is black and every 10 seconds it does once or twice a short vibration. In one case I noticed it went further with the boot up sequence and occasionally I can see bootloader / fastboot there (dark screen, small colorful text, debug info). This is happening until the battery dies off.
When I put it on charger, it usually starts booting up. It often goes up to the "Installing apps 1 of 20" screen. Very often it restarts itself during this phase but sometimes it goes beyond that and the watch actually starts. I can see the charging indicator and change it colors with swipe.
If removed from the charger, it immediately dies
What's weird that after a while, the charging indicator disappears and is replaced with the actual Android Wear interface I can interact with. I tried to go to settings and hit reset, but it just restarts the watch. Doesn't do the reset.
Usually the longer the watch sits in the charger, the worse the behavior is (ie it's just constantly restarting after a while). I get the best results when I let the battery die and then put it on the charger.
Also the watch is really really warm the whole time.
To me it seems like a software problem. If it was a phone, I'd just invoke factory reset somehow, over the cable or through boot menu. Is there a trick how to do it with the watch as well? Are there any stores with required equipment? I really don't want to send it back.
Same here mate, did you eventually solve it?? How? I really don't want to return it..

I did not. I used my warranty and sent it back to Motorola. I have a new watch now.
I understand that you don't want to return it. The process was extremely long, painful and annoying. They decided that I'm entitled to get a new watch pretty quickly and sent me a coupon for a new one. I never got that coupon. I spent lots of time calling Motorola trying to find out what was going on and it took a couple of weeks before they found where the mistake was. When they finally sent me the coupon, it was only for the base watch, it did not cover the metal band and the special bezel that my original watch had. So more calls and e-mails to Motorola followed...
Anyway, I know this is the last thing you want to hear but the sooner you accept that your watch is just broken, the sooner you'll get a new one I wish you more luck than I had.

You're right, not what I wanted to read... I turned it off now, with the silly hope to wake up tomorrow and see it working again. While leaving it on the charger it became way too warm.
The worst is that this is my wife's watch, and she is even less patient than I am
Damn
Hello,
I have the almost the same issue. Last Friday my watch died randomly when I walked home from work. The screen went black, flashed a bit in different colors and then died. Haven't been able to turn it on since. When I try to charge it, it keeps getting stuck in a reboot loop. I can't do nothing...super annoying. It's been 10 months for me since I bought it but I guess that's out of these "6 months warranty" that then give. Crazy, only 6 months!

it has a led indicator letting you know when its charging or when its on but that does not light up when plugged in.
Do you have an sd card in it? I think I've read someone saying it won't power on unless you have an sd card in it.
So I got mine in the mail last week and have had no issues. It's actually very cool. For anyone who hasn't gotten one yet or is considering it, I have 1 issue. The files are HUGE. A 3.5 minute video in 1080 is 2 GB. So I make sure you get a HUGE EXSD card, because you are going to do it up fast.

Hold the power button. It will chime, and display what mode it is in, if video mode, it will show time recording available on sd.

the problem is .. it does not turn on.
O wow contact them again. Mine had already been opened and resealed by Samsung smh refurbished gifts?
I've contacted them 3 separate times and they just keep telling me to wait and they will reach out to me... It's been over a month ?
got replacement today
last week i received an email from samsung and said that my replacement is being shipped out and apologized for the delay. i guess there are lots of people having the same issue as me.
so i got my new 360 in the mail today and i checked it out before i ship my first 360 (which still does not turn on)
i turned on! so i mailed back my non-working unit out back to them.
hopefully you guys will get your replacements soon..
I still have not heard anything. this is getting ridiculous.
