Nexus 4 DEAD... possibly not charging.

I have this exact same issue... but trying the volume down+power key or trying the power key by itself does not do a thing. The phone will only turn on for a couple of seconds and then die. I have been trying to charge it for a couple of days now with no luch.

I am overseas and just got my phone, which was thoroughly tested by my brother in the US, but it has been off the charger for a couple of weeks until it got to my hands... Is there any reset button or anything else that I can do if I open it???

Please, sending it back will be a major hassle, thank you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
As long as you are properly charging from a source that can provide at least 1.2A, you should be able to charge the phone back up.

Make sure you're not using an Apple charger, charging from a computer, or charging with a wall adapter that is rated below 1.2A.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lownita:
Perhaps a kernel related problem? Phone is still very new, devs might have to sort out some shady stuff going on. There will and can always be a certain danger when flashing custom kernels, especially with a device that new.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR_Impulse:
This just happened to me right when I was demo'ing the 8GB to a buyer since I'm selling it back as I was able to order a 16GB on the last re-offering from Google, (so I don't need two Nexus phones). Hands were sweating when it wouldn't power on, so I grabbed my charger, plugged it in, and then it started flashing a red light. Eventually it turned on after about 5 mins, finally. Battery graph showed 90% charge before it turned off, then 0%, then started back now at 10% charge. This was after powering it off and leaving it in the box since only Tuesday.

Really strange issue... I actually remember something similar happening to my Mom's HP Touchpad a few months back as well. Had to plug it in for about 40 mins after she apparently turned it off and let it sit for a couple weeks during which time it discharged completely. Guess this is the bad part about non-removable batteries lol. Though my iPod touch 2G does sit here with next to no charge and it always powers on without fail.

Same issue here.

I didn't fina a solution. I've kept the phone connected to the charger for a wole night but it's not booting anymore. I'b only able to enter in fastboot mode pressing vol down + power and connecting it to PC.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darll:
This happened to me about 3 days ago while running Antutu with franco kernel r19

My phone completely depleted its battery all the way from 98%. I was able to recover it by connecting my charger for 3 mins and powering on the device with the charger connected. I let it charge for about 10 mins(It refused to charge above 3%).

So i disconnected the charger and restarted the phone. Lo and behold, my battery was back to 98%..

I have been reading lots of threads and i don't seem to be the only one that experienced this issue while running Antutu. Although i have run Antutu multiple times after restart and the problem has not replicated itself..

At first i thought Franco kernel was the culprit but this also happened to people who were completely stock..Leads me to believe that this could be a hardware issue...Lg and Google better figure out what is going on because this could lead to bad publicity and furthermore push people who are currently on the fence regarding a purchase of this device further away.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ma678:
I have the same issue since this Monday. I still cannot power it on or access fastboot mode.

It happened after I updated to Franco R20 from R19. I still run stock and never OC'ed.

How can I unroot and lock the phone without being able to access fastboot or bootloader?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darll:
I am guessing you want to relock your bootloader in other to RMA the device via google.

Ild refer you to the thread below because i never had to really go in depth to find a solution to my problem because simply connecting my phone to a wall charger fixed my issue.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011328

Some users on here claim to be able to go into fastboot mode while their usb cable is plugged to the computer and relocking their bootloader using the Nexus 4 toolkit. You can also unroot via the toolkit

To enter fastboot mode, Hold down the power button and volume down button simultaneously
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lupick:
Install the driver on your pc.

Push vol down and power while connecting the usb cable already connected to pc

I was able to access fast boot in this way

There is no way for me to access either fastboot or bootloader mode. My screen is total black out except red led occasionally.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miku3191:
When you have totally dead piece, press all three together for at least 10 seconds... leave it ... press again and insert USB cable ...

you will get into RED LED mode...

remove the phone now

now VOL - pressed, insert USB cable again ... keep it pressed till you get FASTBOOT mode ... BINGO ! :)

there is a high rate of bricked/dead nexus 4. I have a 15 days old bricked nexus 4. red led only and not charging. :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrithan2020:
Had you done something to trigger this? [OC/UV or even flashing custom kernel or rooting] I know that it shouldn't brick when doing such things normally, but wanted to get an understanding.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tengen:
I got a red LED a few weeks ago when manually booting into recovery (vol down + power button). Wasn't low on battery or high heat or OC or UV or anything. I immediately hard reset the phone (held power button down for about 10 secs) and it seemed to fix itself - booted fine, ran fine, no problems since.

Seems like there could be multiple causes of the red LED, so it's likely that there won't be a universal solution. I am starting to suspect, though, that there may be something bug in the battery, either hardware or software.

Dead Nexus 4 since yesterday ...please help

Hello all,

I have had my Nexus 4 since mid December. I've never had problems charging it, however, on rare occasions it would just restart on its own. Last night I noticed the battery was at red levels so I connected to AC charger and went to bed. I woke up to no alarm and my phone was completely dead. I tried different chargers and I dont even see any lights or the white battery symbol. I even tried the charger that came with the phone. I looked through the forums and tried holding the different button combinations with no luck. I have no idea what to do now. I never rooted the device at all. Please help.:crying:

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

What the hell?! I just finished calling tech support at google and they told me to troubleshoot the device by holding the power button and volume up rocker button at the same time for 60 seconds with no connection to AC power. I did this and nothing happened so they wanted to send me a replacement phone but since I dont have the warranty information (it was a gift), they needed to contact the account holder. I hung up the phone furiously and proceeded to do the hard reset again and the phone turned on!! It was even charged completely! What is going on?! I hope it doesn't happen again...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoXOhio:
this happened to my phone today while running antutu and using franco kernel. can't get it to boot back up either.

EDIT: fixed it by using the method of holding power up and on for 60 seconds, while off charger, then plugging it back into charger and turning it back on.

AW: Dead nexus 4, is there anything I can do?

Scary ****, hope that doesn't happen to me - good luck guys hope you can bring your device back on

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunnywavez:
Solution for RED LED Issue on Nexus

1. Turn off the device if it is turned on

2. Press and hold the Volume Up, Volume Down, and the Power Button at the same time for about three to four seconds to turn the device on, if done correctly you’ll see an Android lying on its back

3. Use the volume buttons to navigate to the Recovery Mode option, and press the Power Button to confirm your choice

4. The device will restart, and after a few minutes the device should boot to a screen showing an Android with a red triangle, press and hold the Power Button and Volume Up on this screen

5. Use the volume buttons to navigate to Wipe Data / Factory Reset and press the Power Button to confirm your choice

6. Use the volume buttons to navigate to Yes and press the Power Button to confirm your choice

These instructions are for the Nexus 7 but I'd assume it's about the same for the Nexus 4. It's worth a shot. :angel:

I panicked when the RED LED flashed and the phone refused to start up. I was helpless but this post was savior to bring my NEXUS 4 back to life..

Hi guys I had this happen to me yesterday and no combination of holding power + volume buttons + usb cable worked for me. This is what worked for me.

Now happend same to me

I have UV kernel, PAC 22.0.2 (restarts sometimes on -100mV)

This morning battery was about 3%, then I was calling and put it on shelf.

I heard vibrating, so I guessed it's turning off

In the evening, I plugged it to computer and no animation showed.

Then I tried iPhone charger, HTC charger and still nothing.

After this I thought perhaps it's just frozen, so I held power for 10 sec, plugged back and it was charging.

Now working as it should

Same thing happened to me. Phone got completely discharged, and it shut itself down. After that didn't turn on. I tried charging with the computer, and with the AC wall source for hours, but nothing.

This is what worked:

I unplugged and then, I held VolUP + Power for 60 second, felt a vibration when I released, plugged it back in, and it started charging.

Im facing the red light of death issue too :eek:

I was running some benchmarks at about 50% battery. The nexus got warm but not hot at all. After a few benchmarks i had 35% battery life left and started antutu. The screen went black immediately and the phone didnt respond to anything. I plugged in the original charger and the red light started blinking. I cant get it to boot properly, just gettin into fastboot.

I was running paranoidandroid 3.6 with franco kernel. I think its not battery related or do your phones drop more than 30% in a blink of an eye?

My warranty is probably voided by flashing a custom rom and kernel, isnt it? Im from Germany btw.

Any help is appreciated :)

EDIT: a friend of mine had the torx screwdriver. Just removed the back and unplugged the battery. After pluggin in and reinstalling the back the phone runs without any issues. For the record: Battery was at 45% after this. After reading a lot of posts the last hours im pretty sure thats the only way to fix it. If you try to drain the battery to 0% you encounter the red light too, right?!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaleCOUNTRY:
My girlfriend's n4 has this problem right now. The battery was dead completely and when plugged in it is showing a solid red light. It won't turn on at all and it has been plugged in for over 12 hrs now. Should we continue to wait or I'd there something else we can try.

We tried power button+ volume down, and power button+ vol up+ vol down. Nothing is working

This method is not working either.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heinkee:
Hi,

I've just had this issue by using a stress test with Antutu.

I have solved it with this method:

(1) - Plug-in charger while phone was off => The battery Icon apears a short time with the charging animation from empty to full, and so on.

(2) - Wait 3 to 4 minutes

(3) - Press 2 to 3 seconds the power button and, when the battery Icon with a lightning appears, press again 2 to 3 seconds the power button

(4) - Now, very shortly, the battery icon appears with the true power level. And finaly, wait the android loading

(5) - Unplug the charger and restart your phone.

Now it's solved!

Now i had installed original jelly bean flashed with odin and syah kernel the latest version from 1 month ago dont know exactly if something new came up.

My problem is that somehow when the phone was charging i was sending some emails and i felt a burned smell , i checked and the place in wich comes the plug into the phone was like toasted, from then i couldnt charge the phone no more and i cant put back the jelly bean using odin no more ...

The question is how do i put the original rom from tmobile germany back into my phone without odin , just with recovery mod ?
