Nexus just dies while using it

I was using my nexus on facebok last night with a virtually full battery when fb stopped responding and a few seconds later the phone just switched off.I tried to restart it it but it would not come back on.I tried al combinations of buttons to try and reset but still nothing.I plugged the charger in to try,nothing.I left it on the side board,I forgot to leave the charger in all night.got up this morning plugged it in the charger and it turned on,left it for 5 mins unplugged the charger and it turned itself straight off again.I have a feeling that my battery has just instantly died,the phone is only about 3 weeks old at the moment.I will be charging it for a few hrs and see if it will come back alive.Fingers crossed it will.Its strange to go from a full battery to off in an instant.

Err did you try to pull the battery when the phone originally crashed.

I didn't pull out the battery as i didnt think it was nessasary.After a few hrs charge it came back on but it is worrying that this could have happened to such a new phone

This happened to my first nexus. Totally just randomly died.
I returned it as faulty.

Basically what happened was that when your phone "died" it actually stayed on but became unresponsive. Because you just left it for the whole night it drained the battery dry which is why you found it like that the next day.
Anyway next time when your phone crashes just do a battery pull and it should fix itself. The crash seems to be a common ICS bug and a few people have reported it. (including me) Hopefully Google fixes it soon.

it's not just because it's a nexus. it's been an issue with various android-based phones over the years. granted, not a common one... just somehow something 'screws up' and you have to do a battery pull to reset the issue.

I've run android for a while now and have had various lock ups, but this was totally different. It actually locked up and turned off and no matter what buttons for reset or just a normal boot would do anything the battery was totally flat and only a charge would do anything.i could not even boot into recovery as it was flat. Its going back fire a replacement in the next few days
One thing I have noticed since it happened is the battery life has gone terrible in that it is draining very very quickly yet nothing has changed on my phone

I experienced this too yesterday. I was on call with headset and I had USB plug. Suddenly phone call ends and phone was dead. I have unplug from USB and pull battery.

Mine did exactly this while on charge last night. Pulled the battery and it fired up straight away. Second time its crashed since i got it. My iphone 4 only crashed once in the 18 months i had it. Guess android isnt as stable yet.

Happened to me yesterday, and then wouldn't charge. Did a battery pull then put it on to charge. When I got it back on checked Battery temp and it was 45C I think that was the issue. after half hour it was down to 31C.

Omg.. something like the G2X random reboots?

I just experienced the same problem. Using my phone and it just went black. First thought was to try powering it on. No luck. Second thought, pull the battery. No luck. Went back to my desk and plugged it into USB so it would charge. No indication it is charging. Tried turning it on. No luck. Leaving it for an hour or more and will see if that does the trick.
Googling to find this thread I actually found dozens of threads on various sites talking about this issue. Hopefully it is a bad batch of devices and quality control has rectified the situation.
Anyone have any successful resolution to this issue? I've been using my phone for around a month now.

[Q] Charging issue that defies common sense...

I searched here and google and found various charging issues but none quite like what I am seeing. The night before last, I plugged my A100 in before bed like I normally do and saw the power light turn orange. In the morning, I unplugged it without even looking at the LED because I just expected it to have charged completely. When I got to my car and turned it on, it was at 32%. I thought maybe I had something running that was eating battery or I didn't plug it in all the way overnight so it didn't charge. I plugged it into the car charger and went to work. When I got to work it was still at 32% but I didn't use it the whole time so I thought that was odd. I pretty much didn't use it the whole day since I knew it was low on power and I didn't have a charger at work. I got home and saw that it was at 28% so I plugged it in. About an hour later, I checked and it was still at 28%. Thinking that was odd, I turned it off and left it charging with it off for an hour. Turned it back on an hour later and still at 28%. I spent a little time using it while plugged in trying to kill off apps and things but it drained to 18% even though it was plugged in, the power LED showed orange, and the battery icon on screen showed charging (lighting bolt). At this point I started to worry that something was seriously wrong. I turned it *off* and left it plugged in all night after checking to make sure the LED was orange. In the morning, the LED had turned off completely (not blue or orange). I turned it on and saw that it was still at 18% even after charging all night turned off. I unplugged and replugged and the LED came on orange again.
So here is where it gets really strange.. I decide to go through RMA process since I'm still under warranty. I don't want my private data on it when sending it to them so I do a wipe. On a whim, I plug it back in after the wipe and guess what? It's charging! What the heck?!?! I had thought maybe I installed something that was causing problems but since it wasn't charging even when turned off, I figured it couldn't be an app. Can an application cause the device not to charge even in the off state? I thought maybe my battery stats had gotten corrupted so the percentage readout wasn't accurate but right after wiping the data, the battery was reading 18% just as before the wipe.
Any thoughts? Anyone ever see anything similar? My gut says to RMA it still.

Reboot the device.
It's a bug that happened to me on Honeycomb all the time with A100. (No longer happens on ICS)

Did you actually read the OP?

Yes, multiple reboots didn't help. No charging even when off. Started charging after wipe. Very odd.
So, after my wipe, I set out to see if I could get it to fail again. I loaded a couple of apps that I had loaded a couple of days before this happened and it stopped charging again. Unloaded each of those apps and still no charging. Did another wipe and still no charging. Conclusion is it's busted and just randomly charges on occasion. Sending it in for RMA today. Still very odd that it was reliably charging after that first wipe.

I myself am experiencing exactally the same problem. Any fix found?

Similar thing happened to me. The only thing is I didn't realize it wasn't charging until it was too late and the battery was at 5%. After it shut off, the only way i could get it to turn on was by holding down the power button and plugging in the charger. It didn't get to try a data wipe (didn't have enough time lol). I sent it back and they replaced the system board. Said it was not recognizing the battery properly.

I own two tabs, and one had this issue, the fix is actually quite simple. Let the tab die. No battery life at all. Then, when your sure its dead, plug it back in, and let it charge to full. I haven't had the issue on the tab since.

my charge is on 3% too, but no good luck for me. seems a most serius problem
thanks.

any news guys? I bought a old ACER A100 and only power on while it plug in, so I went ahead and changed the battary, it still does not get charge.

Is the happening on complete stock? Or a custom ROM, if so, which one.
Also, reflash said ROM if applicable, and make sure the data is wiped.
I like the drain the battery idea, although its risky, these tabs can brick if it gets below 10%, current/voltage act weird when its low and blow a breaker inside and keep it from turning on.

What percent does it show the battery at while it's on?

My tab has the charging issue, but it is self inflicted. It was dropped, which cracked the lcd screen. I ordered one after a week or so and replaced it. At this point is when the charging issue cropped up. It powers on only if plugged in, and will get to 3% charge no matter how long it is plugged in. It will also only show the 3% if the charger is unplugged. It will then run for a few minutes until the battery dies. Also, the orange charge blinks about one minute after the charger is plugged in.
I found a reference on the web that if the battery charge gets too low the A100 can't charge it. I also found references that people had this problem, and Acer replaced the mb. I took a shot on the battery since it was a lot cheaper. Still the same. That doesn't the battery was not the issue since it was an ebay battery. So for now I just use it in the living room, plugged into outlet. Works good for that.

Ha! Found my own post by doing google query. Wow, didn't know this thread was still somewhat alive. So, I sent mine back as I mentioned in my last post back in February and they took a week and sent it back to me completely untouched. Basically said it was fixed but the same problem existed. I sent it in after a wipe but I did configure my wifi access point before I sent. When I got it back, my access point connected immediately and it still would not charge. I called them right back furious and demanded they provide shipping back to them because they clearly did nothing. They finally agreed and I shipped it back. After another two weeks of transit and repair time, I got my tablet back and this time it appeared to be fixed.
So, flash forward to 3 weeks ago. One morning I woke up and the tablet wouldn't power on. Black screen but the home "button" would light up when touched and power button would light up when plugged in and such. After several attempts to reset by holding down power button and using the recessed reset button, it was still not responsive. Tried up volume (and down volume) while powering pressing power button.. tried holding down reset button while pressing power button.. all with no result. Submitted rma request and was immediately granted without review. Sent it in and after about two weeks, got it back and it appeared to be working fine. Just this past weekend (about a week after I got the tablet back), I noticed that it was 3% after sitting on the charger for 2 days straight over thanksgiving. ARG!! Looks like another round of RMA here. I have not tried wiping but last time the charging issue happened, it was intermittent for about 2-3 weeks getting worse and worse before finally never charging. I am now near the end of my warranty period and I worry that if I send it back now, they will just turn it around and say it started charging after a wipe. What a piece of ... this is? This will be the 4th times in one year of ownership. I've almost spent the difference in cost between this tablet and other more expensive options in time and shipping alone.
I will try wiping it and then running it all the way down. Although I almost want it to fail hard right now so I can get it RMA'd before my warranty is up.

[Q] S3 wont turn on?

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.

Stuck on charging screen?

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.

Wont turn back on

Last night while i was eating dinner i went to check the time and the watch was off, thought it was just a dead battery. After leaving it on the charger all night it is refusing to turn on, I've tried 2 chargers, still nothin.

Same thing happened to me. Just gave it to my 2 year old to toss around since it no longer works. The little battery screen will flash for a few seconds after i put it on the charger but will never power on. It's been 3 weeks now and still doesn't power on
