Hi,
I've had my Galaxy Nexus 1 hour - didn't bother charging it as I wanted to play and set it up [like I did with every other mobile].
Plugged it into my USB port and my PC recognised it - then 20 seconds later the screen went blank and I've not been able to boot it since...
I've plugged it into the mains and removed battery and tried to reboot - no luck.
What's wrong?
how long did you discharge it for???
if you ran it down to zero, it may take a while before the phone actually shows anything on the screen.

The phone needs to build up a charge before it boots up. And it doesn't actually charge if your using it while it's plugged in via USB because it's low powered.
Phone won't chrage or get connected if I don't reboot it with the cable on and after it does when I unplug it the usb and 100% charged notification always shows. Also when I reboot normally it shows the battery charging part. Flashed the device with stock rom twice which didn't work. Battery percentage goes up. Like I have 20% at first then it goes to 96%. Also kies don't recognize it.
Help!
accidentally flashed fancy kernel on XenonHD and noticed something was wrong when during "Android is Upgrading...Starting Apps" the screen flashed for a second and the "Android..." box looked like an old scanlined tv then shut off. pulled the battery, put it back in, booted it and it turned back off. now when i plug it into either the wall or my pc the charging logo appears with the lightening bolt then disappears and loops there. "hotbooted" it to charge by taking out the battery, put in the charger, put in the battery and it says its charging but when i disconnect after about 15 minutes of charging the phone wont turn on without being plugged in. but it doesnt boot and wont go into recovery from bootloader. do i need to odin and will this erase all of my flashed Page Plus information? or is there a way to force it into recovery so i can nandroid without the battery in?

You can try to reflash a recovery via fastboot..

turns out my battery went bad. didnt find out until after i Odin'd all the way back to 4.0.4 and still couldnt turn on the phone. shoulda known something was wrong...phones not supposed to die within an hour and a half on a full charge in my pocket >_< loving my new extended battery though!
so i was using it normally (about 45% battery), plugged in a usb cable as i wanted to transfer a file from PC to the tab. in the middle of the transfer, i noticed the file was stuck and the tab had frozen. so i unplugged it, and the tab turned off and restarted. however, it wasn't able to restart. i was able to see the screen backlight turn on for about 2 seconds and it would go fully black (off) again.
i kept trying to turn it on, go to download mode , but it did the same thing (backlight screen on) for about 8 times, and then... finally it FULLY died. the backlight wasn't even able to turn on. i charge it int he charger for 10 hours, and it is STILL fully dead.
i got this tab from TD bank so i dont have a receipt, so how does warranty work...?

Do you hear anything, or see any response when you plug it into the charger?
Can you test the charger & cable with another phone to make sure they work?
yes it charges my other android stuff (it is the charger from the tablet). no it doesnt make any sounds
i feel like if there is a way i can remove the battery, i might be able to turn it back on.
That's a Drag
Guys,
I've updated my SmartWatch 3 to 5.1 yesterday via OTA
Everything worked fine.
When battery was low, I charged it up from 9% to around 80% (I switched it off though)
It stuck charging at 80% as it was very hot I removed it from charge.
After 2-3 hours I charged again to complete from 80% to 100% even after 1-2 hours of charge It would not charge.
Today morning I did the same I wouldn't charge. I switched on the watch I got android wear logo and it directly switched off.
Now it's not switching on.
Any help I can get?
Yeah same issue here but it is harder than that ...
I installed TWRP on my watch, and when I received the 5.1 OTA, it seems that it did not want to install the update because I was not on recovery stock. Then, my SW3 started to lag, I was not able to install the ZIP via TWRP, and it was superhot, I was unable to boot Android Wear..
That's so ****ed up, man. I can't even know what should I do. xD
I've got the same (or really similar) problem my watch was out of battery, I put it on the charger, it showed normal charging battery icon, then when I tried to turn it on it doesn't show anything, the display is black and when I held down the power button it vibrated once. The problem is that it isn't only display fault because I can't connect to the watch with my mobile phone. Wat do?

edit: Well that was weird, I unplugged it from the charger and put it there again and now the charging icon is back and when I pressed the button it started to boot. Weird.
Me, too.
After OTA today, my watch is dead. Even long press power button can make freeze screen reboot.

Okay guys, here my solution, it worked for me :
If the screen of your SW3 is completly dark:
1) Just let it plug. In fact, the watch is charging, it's just not shown up (I dunno why...)
2) Let it like that for 1 hour, and then unplug it and let it cool down for 10 mn.
3) Install the Sony Companion App on your PC.
4) Keep ressing the power button of your watch til a screen with the watch and USB appears.
5) Plug It to your PC, open the Companion App.
6) Somewhere in the menus, you can resinstall the OS of the watch, RESET it, find the menu.
7) Let your watch restart.
And you're done ! It worked for me, so try.
I left it aside from morning to evening. Didn't even touched it. It completely discharged. So I kept to charge once again and it magically booted up and now working fine. Seems pretty weird. ?

As I read in other post, I can confirm there is some kind of bug when you are charging your SW3, if you turn it on with the usb cable charging and the screen showing the battery %, the smartwatch gets like frozen and doesn't do anything.. In case you have this problem, you should wait until the battery goes to 0%, start charging your sw3 BUT when you are going to turn it on again first unplug the usb cable and wait until the battery % display dissapears.. I did it after I read it in other post in XDA (I don't have the link here.. I was searchig for it on another computer) and worked for me.
I hope it works for all.. sorry if my English it's not perfect hehe
