I just got my Nexus One replacement after my other one's lock button was damaged. I just got my new one today and after I charged it fully, I pressed the power button. It gets to the "X" and then doesn't boot past that.
My phone vibrates once when I boot it, and then after a few seconds it vibrates 4-5 times in a row.
Any ideas how to fix this? I don't want to unlock the bootloader or root it...
Update:
-Got it working
Update 2:
Died again....
This is my second Nexus One within 2 weeks that has had an issue:
1st one = broken lock/power button.
2nd one = won't boot
If it's 7 vibrates it's a hardware problems. Don't even bother, just send it back.

yeah it was something like 7 when I recounted.... thanks for the info...
My Nexus One has committed suicide.
nvm, not working AGAIN.
Man bro. Your having bad luck. Mine does it occasionally where I turn it off. And try to turn it on it stays black and vibrates. But I just let it sit without the battery. For like 30 seconds. Then try. Never ran into this problem with my desire or evo. It was just this phone. Which I find weird. But try letting it sit for a lil.

I let it sit for 2+ hours and then I turned it on. It worked for 2-5 minutes and then turned back off and got stuck at the "X"....
I have VERY bad luck...
Any ideas on a replacement? ($0-350 USD), I've been through 2 N1's, sadly...
I've honestly just let it sit there for 30 seconds. But what are you running? I think the only reason mine does it is because I soldered the charging port. And obviously that hasn't been done to yours. So it shouldn't do that.

When I got the replacement, it wouldn't turn on for a while, but when it did; it was on Android 2.2...
I got it working again a while later to update to 2.3.4.
Then it died again. I've decided to just return it and either get an Xperia Neo V or HTC Inspire.

Looks like the phone has a hardware problem. Maybe it was a refurb from amazon or something bad happened during the shipment?
Either way, return it to amazon for a replacement or get a completely different phone.
Well at least Amazon is nice about it. Since your trading it. The inspire is better then the Neo.

What about the Xperia Arc S? I was going to buy it from my friend for $350USD... good deal?
That's reasonable but I'm still thinking the inspire is better then Sony. But that's just me. The inspire has some good roms too.

So my girl's droid 3 has been acting up and want to try and get a replacement but she spilled cooking oil on screen and has a dark spot on LCD which happened early March. That did not effect the performance at all but lately its been going nuts. My question is can I get a replacement and not be charged for the the LCD problem even though it didn't effect the performance? Just want to know if anybody here has had the same incident or something similar or even your input would be nice. Thanks In Advance

How dark is the spot you are talking about? Are the performance issues now related to the screen response? Because it kind of sounds like now there are issues with the screen because of the oil incident.. ;]
I had to warranty my D2G awhile back. I declared a few somewhat major cosmetic problems to them as I was a jeweler at the time and had probably damaged it in some way during the course of my work. The problem with my phone had ended up being hardware related and had nothing to do with the damage and so my phone was replaced.
Here's pics of the screen and the problems happened months after the oil spill

But no the problem is that is gets hot and randomly reboots all day everyday the screen works perfectly except for the dark spot on screen

make the background pure black, avoid putting light apps where the dark spot is, and then i would bring it in lol
maybe turn the brightness down a bit also
Well if I turn the light down its too dark and can't see anything where the dark spot is at. But that's not the problem I want to know can i get a replacement to fix the over heating problem and the random reboots that happens frequently. I have no problem with the dark spot on screen

Well if you bring it in and tell them about the spill, they will probably tell you the overheating & rebooting is from that and im pretty sure spills are not covered by the 1 year warranty. And the spill would void the warranty im pretty sure also.
If you have insurance they will replace it though.
You could always go to the store and see if the rep will let you exchange it. You might get a nice one. It's unlikely but withholding info I think is fraud.

Looks like that dark spot is over the cpu... I'd try saying the dark spot was caused by the heating issue and maybe not mention the cooking oil...
^^^^^^^
I second that. Tell them that one day the phone got really hot in her pocket and then this screen dark spot appeared. She had been dealing with it 'til now, but she's finally sick of it since these new issues arose.
I could also try that to just don't want to send the phone in and they open it and see oil inside and they charge me for a whole new device even though it happened months ago. Does anybody know where the water censors are or the only one is in back of phone?

Just go in and they should replace it their if they have any in stock. Or they might offer you a different device.
It doesnt matter if it happened months ago, technically this would VOID your warranty. Like said above your best chance is to bring it in and say the it kept overheating in your pocket since a few months back and started noticing that dark spot.. If they did check the water sensors and they WERE TRIPPED then they wouldnt replace it, because that would void your warranty.
I got my Nexus 7 three days ago. It seems like sometimes when it's charging and I pick it up, the screen turns itself on. But I can't seem to purposely reproduce this behavior and I'm wondering if maybe I'm just hitting the power button without realizing it. Likewise, once or twice it seems to have put itself into sleep when I set it down. Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Mine has done this with me as well. There was one guy who posted that it had happened to him, but it was to do with a magnetic case. I've not got round to getting a case for mine yet, and there have been times where I've picked it up, 100% sure i haven't hit the power button, and the screen has come on....

This has happened with me too, turns out it was coming on when I left it charging on top of a speaker... Sometimes the screen wasn't coming on at all even if I pressed the power button numerous times.

Funny...come to think of it, the auto-off happened when I set it on my iPad, which is in a magnetic case.
P.S. - Am I allowed to say "iPad" in this forum?

Well when my n7 was switching itself on, it was sitting on a pillow on my bed, nowhere near any magnets. And when it happened I manually switched the screen off, put it back down again, and was able to repeat it again and again. So unless my pillows are magnetic...

That's actually a very good idea, something along those lines, I'd need to bore her with a subject that won't immediately let her know that I'm taking the p155, but having just got my n7, I could maybe just start talking to her all the time about it and nothing else lol
Who would have thought you'd even get relationship (avoidance) advice here on XDA

My be your bed company is "magnetic"? kidding!
I got twice this effect when at bed. And I found it perfect to wake the device in the dark because the start button is not so easy to get and very often is opposite to your available finger!
I had that before, but not since I upgraded to 4.2 I think.
It's a really cool feature, I hope Google add it.
I had this happen a few times as well. Try putting your device to sleep and wiggling the USB cable where it plugs into the N7. If you plug the charger in while the screen is off, the screen will turn on. I know mine doesn't have a real solid connection and if I pick it up while it's charging, it will sometimes cause the cable to lose its connection for a second or so and then move back into position, causing the N7 to essentially think you're plugging the charger in. You might see if that's what's happening with yours as well. I figured I was the only one and it wasn't a big deal so I've just been careful about picking it up while charging or transferring data.

When it happened to me there was no cable plugged in, and I was able to switch the screen back off, put it down again, and pick it up and make the screen come on again. Definitely never pressed any buttons or had it near any magnets.
I think it was before I had upgraded though. Some people say this would actually be a nice feature, and until you remember that everywhere you take your n7 away from home its gonna be switching on and of all the time in your pocket/car etc it would be....

I fully agree, but this feature will and must only be for in "home" use. So not active when lock screen is enabled.
When I'm at home is the main time that I do need the screen lock lol, if I'm out it's usually in my pocket.. The auto screen on would be a good feature at home though, I'm just not sure how it could be implemented.
Oh, wait, I just thought of something It's entirely possible right now. I could use my nice new app called Tasker, and set it up to tell the screen to come on when it feels movement. What's more, if I want it to only happen at home, I can tell it to only work when GPS says I'm home, or simpler, tell it to only do it when I'm connected to my home WiFi network. Tasker is a cool app.

Yes that's right my less than 24 hour old one is broken. There is a hairline crack that runs from home button to heaphone jack. By the home button there is another small crack too.
The phone was not dopped at all and has been in otterbox commuter, and pretty bc much in my hands all day. I was holding the phone and all of the sudden it cracked. I'm really just at a loss for words and dumbfounded at how this happened.

I understand it sounds ridiculous, I ran a phone store for many years and heard stories and saw things I wish I didn't. One guy hands me his phone said it doesn't work, I asked if it got wet and he tells me that his cow ate it and then threw it back up again. We go through a lot of purell. I've never had someone tell me it just broke while holding it and trying to take a screen shot, but that's what happened.
I love the phone, it was running without hiccups all day. I don't want a different phone, but I don't want to be looking at a long road of replacements either and I think most of us can agree on that, so I had to share my experience.

The way the crack is so hairline and straight it does seem believable some freak pressure point could have caused this. I have a good feeling we won't be seeing any more of these stories though =P

I'm pretty sure it was from pressing the home button, I was having some of the issues with the home and back not working properly. If you are having those issues too I would try to get and exchange while you can, hopefully this is just a freak accident.

That's not a crack in the screen. It looks like a line of pixels went out. Who's replacing it for you? Sprint? Walk into a store and tell them this happened out of nowhere. If you're still within 14 days, they have to replace it.

It is the internal LCD that is broken, not the outer glass. Sprint is giving me a fight but they will replace it, just sucks waiting and getting the run around. The more I use the phone the worse it's getting.

From the picks it doesn't look physically broken at all, it looks like, what someone else said, like a strip of pixels died. So, that could be a bad flex cable or a screen defect. maybe the otterbox was warping the phone? was it a snug fit?
I hate to be that guy, but I'll be the second story of "my screen actually did break and I have no idea how".
I will admit, the phone did take a drop off a couch on to tile; but no screen damage was done, just a slight scuff on the landing zone. That was 2 days ago.
Yesterday i'm out with some friends, doing some gardening at his place, and I pull out my phone and there's a hairline crack from the volume buttons to the home button, I'll update with a picture when I find my camera. And now today, when i woke up, I was using my phone and noticed some stuck pixles on the middle top of the screen. I bought the phone on the third and I'm not sure if this kind of thing should be covered or not; if it's even worht calling or going into sprint?
EDIT: LINK TO ALBUM HERE
I couldn't get the pixle since they are so damn small and i don't have a macro lens for the camera.
I don't even know how it could have happend while it was in my pocket or from the fall(last picture) since it wasn't broken at all that day.
I reveretd to stock rom without SU but we cannot removed the tamper markings if i contact sprint what do i do about that?
I am going to agree and say that is a pixel issue. Glass does not crack like that or a LCD screen unless it is intentionally scored.

It's screen time out if you set it for 1 minute the screen will go of in a minute
I know what screen time out is I'm asking about the auto sleep setting within it. It's the first phone I've seen with auto sleep. Not counting touchwiz smartstay. I'm wondering how it takes effect.

I saw someone ask this before, and someone answered it works off the G-sensor, based on their testing. So keep the phone moving, or not on a flat surface, and it stays on longer. If you keep moving the phone, it shouldn't shut off. Place it on a flat horizontal surface, and notice the light dim almost instantly.

I asked the same question a while ago and the answer I ended up with was that
"It uses the gyroscopes to determine if the phone is being held vertical, or laying down horizontal. If it's laying down, the time out should be 15 seconds. If in a vertical position, it should be a minute."
Thanks for the response guys.
