I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue.
I've charged my Nexus7 overnight on three occasions. Plugging it in before I went to bed (~1AMish) and getting it on my way to work (~8:30AMish). Out of those three times, on two of them, when I went to get my tablet the unit was powered off. I know for a fact that when I plugged it in, it was on, and no one touched it in the meantime.
The most recent occasion was this morning.
On all three occasions, the unit still had 40-50% battery life left.
On two other occasions, I've charged it during the day for a few hours, and it was fine.
Additionally, I've never had the unit turn itself off overnight when it wasn't plugged in. And I'm using the charger/cable that came with it.
Lastly, the first occasion was on the stock kernel/rom, and the second was on the motley kernel (but stock ROM).
So it seems like something is causing the unit to power itself off if it's on the charger for too long. This is concerning, because the only thing I can think of is that it's overheating and shutting down as a protection mechanism.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Plugged mine in for the first time last night at 11:30. Slept till 8, hit the power button and everything was fine.
Basically, no issues here.
Was it fully charged when you switched it back on? I ask because I shut mine down for the overnight charge last night (plugged into a laptop, not the wall - there's only one socket near the bed and my battery-sucking phone gets that juice), and when I woke up it had only gone from ~30% battery to 55%.

I had this happen to me on the first unit I had... I was actually using stickmount to transfer some data and left the usb adapter plugged in for about an hour and when I picked it back up it was DEAD.... I could not get it to boot up at all until I did the recovery (power/volume) method and then everything was fine but I returned it anyways cause of a defective screen... I am now on my 3rd unit from Sam's Club and I think I might have a keeper...? (Knock on wood) :fingers-crossed:

Yes, it was at 100%.
Keep in mind that charging via computer's USB port takes much longer. Maybe your laptop went into sleep mode and shut down power to the USB port?

Nope, my fiance's phone was plugged into the same laptop and it was fully charged in the morning. And as a general rule, I've never known the computer to automatically sleep while on AC power, even when the screen is closed.
Thank god i'm not the only one experiencing this. My nexus 7 always seems to turn off after I leave it overnight plugged in for charging. I thought it was a kernel issue but i've switched kernels and i still experience it. Still unsure as to what is causing it.
Same here. Its odd it only seems to be for an extended period of time. Also my battery was indeed fully charged. Should I exchange at Sam's?

There is nothing else wrong with the tablet. I have a feeling it could be some sort of hardcoded feature where if it notices that you're plugged into the wall charger with 100% battery and the tablet is in deep sleep for a certain period of time, it automatically shuts down.

Well, I feel a little better that I'm not the only one with this "problem".
The question is, is this a "problem" or a "feature". I guess we won't know unless we ask Google/Asus (good luck getting that answer) or enough people respond saying that it happens to them too. But if people start saying it does not happen to them, it makes it more likely to be a problem....
This happens to my phone due to overheating. The tablet does run hot when charging. See if there's a temperature logging app and run it overnight.

It would be nice if it would just cut off the battery charge and run directly on A/C. But I guess I would rather have it power off than explode.
isnt bad to charge it overnight like i believe from 1% to 100% chrge is like almost 3hrs fully chrged.. i just alarm myself for 3hrs to check if its fully chrged already then unplug it

True, it's not good to constantly charge the battery once it's full.
Most devices however have a built in charger kill switch once it reaches that point. Laptops for example will switch to A/C power and only start recharging the battery once the level drops to ~95%. I believe my phone does this as well (SGS2).
I guess I'm OK with it turning itself off, assuming that it really is a safety feature. My main concern was something was wrong. It would have been nice if they mentioned this in the 100pg Nexus Guide eBook though .

I want to add my own observation -- mine was almost fully charged, I plugged it to my computer's USB, turned the screen off, walked away. A couple hours later, the Nexus 7 was turned off. But I was shocked to find that, pressing the power button couldn't turn it on. The first thought came into my mind was that my computer did not charge the Nexus 7 and the battery ended up completely drained. So, I plugged it to the wall charger, left it on for a day. 1 day later, I tried to turn it on again. No, it didn't work. I was panic and decided to Google about how to reset and checked if I could wipe it and sent it back for a replacement. I found that pressing the power, vol up/down button at the same time can force a reboot. I tried that and bingo, it booted into the bootloader. Before I wiped, I decided to try to boot back to the Android OS. Surprisingly, that worked. I was happy and decided to ignore this incident. Then, today, it happened again. This time, I immediately used the power + vol up/down trick to reboot, and that booted me right back into Jelly Bean. I checked the battery status and it's fully charged, which meant my computer was charging it all along. For some reasons, the Nexus 7 would just turn off itself. And, in my case, pressing the power button alone would not reboot it.

Sounds like to me that it's hard locking, not "powering off", and you're forcing a reboot. Long-press of the Power button should do the same thing.
I can't say I have much to offer in regards to this issue, but am I correct with my observation that everybody experiencing this issue has experienced it while their N7 was plugged into a computer of some sort for an extended period of time? Has anybody had this happen when plugged straight into the wall outlet?
Here's another update with an interesting 'twist' since my last post.
I've charged it twice in the meantime. Once was, again, overnight, and I woke up to find it powered off. A simple "on" press brought it back on.
However, on Saturday, I used it heavily and was down to about 40%, so I plugged it in around 11AM. I meant to grab it around 3PM when I went out, but forgot about it. Got home late, and went to look at it at about 11PM (12 hours later). It was charged to 100%, running off the A/C power, and still on.
This is weird, because if I leave it plugged in "overnight" for 8 hours, it will almost always turn off sometime before I grab it. But when left plugged in during the day for 12 hours, it stayed on. I wonder if it handled the situation different based on the time of the day???

Where is the setting to make the nooks screen time out, and turn off while charging? Secondly does anybody have any idea why my tablet has been charging so slowly lately?

i think screen stay on while charging because "charging" is one of the possible SOD cause. That's why there is no options (and it's charging slowly because the screen is on..)

I normally do turn off the screen when I plug it in, but until just this morning the nook would die in my book bag due, to it waking up when the nook button was hit in my book bag. Thanks to somebodies help I rectified that problem this morning, but long story short I would charge it when I would go to bed, and it would be too dead to turn on when I plugged it on, so by the time it was ready to have the screen turned off, I would be asleep. Sorry for the long post.
Before I went to bed last night (11:40-ish), my nc was at 48% charge. This morning I woke up (7:30) and my nook was dead. About an hour later after charging it for a bit, I noticed my screen somehow turned back on and I hadn't even touched it. It seems the screen timeout is broken, or the option screen always on when plugged in is broken, because I double checked to make sure it was off. Btw I'm on Nightly 177
May just be my nc though.

It is not broken, nor is it your nook... this is common just like stock B&N ROM works.
If it is dead when you connect charger... when it gets around 15% it turns on... if it is not dead when you connect charger... it does not go into sleep... you have to manually turn off screen by short pressing power button.
Its availabe under Settings->Applications->Developement->Stay awake
but this never works for me here(unselect above option), my screen will never turn off automatically on CM7 while charging.
It does seem like the nook is charging much slower on CM7, even when the screen is off, I remember it charged fairly quickly on stock, but on CM7 it seems like it takes hours, I have left it charging over night, and it has not charged all the way before. I could be wrong though.

I have the same problem too. Is there a way to resolve it? The reason I'm asking is before I turn my device off and go to bed while leaving it to charge and when I wake up, the device is somehow turned on (I have come to realise that the NC turns on by itself at random while charging) and the screen never goes to sleep which causes my NC not to be recharged even after a whole night.
To actually turn the NC off when charging you have to attach charger... THEN hold the power button in until you get the power menu... select Power Off

Of course I did that. What I'm saying is that my NC still randomly boots up. Sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after a few hours.

Mine does that too (turning on while charging from powered off). It is telling you that it is now charged enough to operate. My solution was to not let it run down so far before you charge (below 15%). And don't turn it completely off. Plug it in and just turn the screen off. Then it charges the whole night without turning the screen back on.
I wonder if it would be possible to have the nook color shut back down if it loads into the os or recovery from a charger activation.
With mine as Long as the battery isn't dead when I plug it in, If I turn it off while its plugged in and not move it at all it stays off, but if I move it in any way it turns back on. Don't know why but movement fires it back up when plugged in.

Seems to be a bad connection....same thing happens wirh my nook also...I plug the cable in, put the nook on one of my floor shelves, turn it off, and leave it to charge overnight....then again ANY kind of movement while the cablle is plugged in to charge OR use usb storage makes it disconnect....maybe a bad cable, unfortunately I haven't found them in stores anywhere lately..

You may have overheated it. Wait a few hours and try again. also, depending on the USB charging, the charger may not have been able to keep up with the battery drain of the game and it shut down for a low battery. Use the OEM charger whenever possible.

If the device actually made a "fizzle" sound then I recommend sending it in for a replacement. Sounds like a battery leak. Was it overclocked?

I had the same problem yesterday, my battery was very low and I was using it while plugged-in a PC USB.
I was playing reckless racing, i left it on the desk for awhile when I went back to my PC. the device was on, but all of a sudden it fizzled and static screened.
I freaked out and unplugged the USB. then the device shut-down(turns black) immediately. The device was a bit hot on the back bottom. I tried to turn it on, NO GO. I plugged it in the OEM charger, NO charging screen. tried turning on, still no go.
then i look in xda. and found out someone said to hold the power button for 30s.
So, the device was plugged in OEM charger. I sat it there for like 5 mins first. then try to do the 30s.
It boot up again on like 35, or 36 second i counted.
I bet it was a low battery problem, since charging it from a PC doesn't provide enough power.
The method solved mine, and i hope it solved yours too.
Gd luck!!

I meant to say a I heard a fizzling sound when it static screened. Almost like the sound you hear with TV static but more... fizzy? :silly:
lol
If you heard a fizzle I'd definitely still send it back in for RMA, better safe than sorry down the road.
just looping the sound file from the game before shutting down not a issue. watch that battery icon in the future.
playing nova 3 on full 1600mhz oc N7 did the same on a freeze and reset. (; have to find the settings that work right. nova 3 1500mhz with the gpu oc at 500 screams and is stable on my N7. spiderman became a fun game after the kernel flash.
Just to say it again - plugging the Nexus 7 into a PC USB port will not keep it charged during high current usage.
If you drain the battery completely - don't expect any display until you have charged it for probably an hour.
Funky noises from your game when you flatline the battery is no cause to return it.
Use a dedicated charger for game play, preferably the one that came with it.
Didn't fizzle here, just turned off and no matter how long I held power button or left charging on mains connector or on PC, the tablet was completely dead. Returned to Argos and got refund and now waiting on another Nexus 7 to be delivered but via Tesco direct this time.
Fingers crossed this one lasts a lot longer than the hour the first one did

I had this exact same problem except mine wasn't plugged into anything and my battery was not near empty. When I finally got it booted back up it was at 27% so for me it wasn't low battery. I only ever use the charger that came with it - unless I'm connecting it to my laptop for a few minutes to transfer files, etc.
This is my second Nexus 7. The first one got returned because it had problems with the touchscreen on occasion. It actually did do this static/fizzle/crash once or twice as well.
I wonder if the static/fizzle/crash issue is being addressed in hardware and/or software with a newer version of either one?
Pls tell me Asus representatives are reading these threads in xda. I can see lots of problems with the device. Google should take serious actions on this
That would freak me out my dizzle...I hope my Nexus doesn't ever fizzle.

Maybe, but I had more than a quarter of my battery left and had very similar symptoms. I think it might be related to heat generated by gaming. Maybe with low (but not out of) battery, maybe not. The touchscreen issues I experienced on my first N7 seemed to only occur after hard gaming. Maybe there's a heat dissipation issue? (Wild speculation)
Mine did exactly the same last week, thought it had died altogether but holding the power for 45 seconds sorted it.
I need help too.
My N7 turned off when the battery ran out. So i plugged to charge through PC USB and immediately when that great charger icon apear in the screen i pressed the button power, and so it go black. No more signals. Dead... No charge, no turn on anymore.
I tried to hold the power button for 30s a lot.
I opened the N7, unpluged e pluged again the battery. Nothing.
I let it charging, in the OEM charger, with OEM cable, all the night, for more than 12 hours. Nothing.
And it has a "fizzle" sound. It can be heard better when its open.
When i disconnect the battery the sound stop. If i connect the charger, even without the battery, the sound come back.
When i hold the power button for 30s the sound stop for about 3 seconds, and then restarts.
The Windows manager device recognizes the N7 as a weird "APX" (image attach).
In from Brazil, so for now will not be easy to return to google.
Any ideas?
Thx in advance
---------------------------------------
Update:
I discovered that the unit does not appear to be charging.
Before, the OEM charger became a little hot, and now nothing.
I instaled today the program "Asus AI charger" that lets you charge a ipad in USB, and the icon charging do not apear when i connect the N7, only when i connect other devices.
So mine just fizzled and died not connected to any power source. I was at 9%. It was running a bit warm but no where near relatively hot. Will update...

Mine has done the same thing a couple of times. It's only ever happened once the battery is less than 10% but it's still annoying. I also had one random reboot today but that was the only time that this has happened.

I had some weirdness with this myself yesterday (my 2nd day on the phone).. I was literally laying in bed before going to sleep, marveling at my battery life after a day of heavy use (18 hours and 39% to go, SOT 3 hours) and it just shut off. I tried to turn it back on, but got the boot loader's big fat 0% screen. So I plugged into the turbo charger, and then it said 100% within a minute, I turned it back on, and then it was 85%.. Just decided to go to bed, left it plugged in all night. Took it off the charger this morning at 100%.. then over the next 2 hours it fell down to 55%. Figured the battery just needed to settle in for a couple of days. I've had it on a USB port for about 90 minutes now, and it's back to 100%. I'm going to take it off an constantly keep it between 80-100% all day. Hopefully it just needs to settle in and get some battery stats under it's belt? I've not seen this with many, or any phones before. Would suck to be out somewhere thinking I can make it to the next morning no problem, and then have my phone die 5 minutes later and I don't have a charger.
Has anyone found a solution for this issue?
i am with the same "4%" issue
It probably does that so it can already have a headstart for the turbo charging feature.
Have you guys tried re-calibrating the battery? I've experienced versions of what you describe, and here's how I fixed it on mine;
1 - plug into the turbo charger that came with it
2 - press and hold power button till unit shuts off, continue holding,
3 - continue holding till you see a battery icon on the screen, let go of the power button
4 - phone will vibrate, and a couple seconds later, the battery icon will show a % number, that is the correct level of charge in the battery, it is now re-calibrated!
5 - press and hold power button till phone starts to boot, you should be good..
From what I've read, this "out of sync" battery calibration is caused by using certain chargers other than the stock one. I saw it happen from plugging into a laptop usb3 port and an old blackberry wall wart (don't judge me). Other people have reported it from using wireless charging (I wireless charge every night without issue).
Hope this helps, good luck!
Hi all,
My Nexus 6 GPE has been powering off after about 2 hours or so being disconnected from the charger every morning. The phone has 70% of power (going off of this last time it has happened, usually it is around 50/60%) and it goes into battery saver mode and says it is powering down. When I try and restart. sometimes it goes and instantly shuts down, other times it shows the battery is completely dead (ie the empty phone icon), with this last time I was able to get into recovery and stay on and the bootloader and in recovery it says I have 60% battery left.
This all started when I flashed the latest software (LMY47E) and the latest bootloader/radios. I used Nexus Toolkit to Factory Restore it and it is still doing the same thing, sometimes it doesn't even give warning before shutting off. Has anyone come across this before? Do you think it is software or hardware related?
Thanks for your help
Did you try this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/dying-17-battery-t3062050
I did try that, it seemed to work but then turned off again. I did it about 3 more times, so far it hasn't shut off again, it was around 52% when I did it last and it came back up as 27% so I am hopeful that worked.
Has anyone else experienced issues because Qi charging? I have almost exclusively always charged this with a Qi Wireless Charger.
I have been having the same issue. Just did the "fix" from the other thread and before reboot it read 98%, after boot it says 77%. Crossing fingers.
UPDATE:
Nope, didn't work. After it went to 50%, it shut down and won't start on it's own unless it is plugged in. I'm back to step one.

Dacian like i just wrote in the other thread:
The "fix" i posted plus no more charging with Qi chargers worked for me.
I tried that, didn't use Qi charging to get it back to 100% and it still shut off. Can you use Qi charging again? I didn't spend $700 on my Nexus 6 so I couldn't use all of the features. I own 4 Qi chargers so that I didn't have to plug in my phone at all unless I was doing something through ADB.

No more Qi charging since I tried the mentioned workaround and no more problems with my N6 shutting down too early.
But I agree: not a solution if you use Qi stations a lot.
I think I'll just warranty it and if there comes a time where this starts happening again, hopefully there'll be a fix from google for it or something. Thank you for your help.
You're welcome. Good luck and keep us posted!
my phone was doing the same exact thing...first started off shutdown at 20 then 40 now 70! phoned motorola for a replacement : "sorry we cannot send replacements but we can fix it"...WTF?!?! a phone like this?! why the F would i want a repared faulty phone?!? Motorola never again never...
I have the same problem (now shutting down at 65%), i already call google for replacement but untill now i never had confirmation
I have the same problem. Nexus 6 shuts down. Displays blank white battery. Cannot be turned on without plugging into power source. Upon powering up it shows plenty of power.
Possible helpful info:
1. Recently manually updated to 5.1
2. Recently started using Qi charging
I did not notice a problem until both of those -- of the two my suspicion is the wireless charging but it's a total guess
I've tried all the suggested fixes and none worked.
A month or so ago, my mother told me her Nook HD+ (on which I had installed CM 10.1.3) would not turn on. I told her to plug in the charger for a few hours and try again. Still no go. I will be visiting her in a couple weeks and will see what I can do.
Today I tried to turned on my wife's HD+ (running CM 10.2.1) which had been off for several weeks. It was almost fully charged that last time it was turned off. It would not come on. I plugged in the charger in and no light came on. After a couple hours I held the power button on and after 10-15 seconds the battery symbol came on for 2 or 3 seconds then disappeared. This time the orange charging came on and stayed on so I assume it is charging. I will give it a few more hours before trying again.
What I'm wondering is: why does the battery seem to drain when the device is off, why won't it boot with the charger plugged in (I assume there must be some minimum battery charge required even when plugged in), is this typical of this device?
Any and all ideas or suggestions appreciated.

When you say off, do you mean completely off or sleeping? If completely off, it should not drain like that. Might be a weak battery.
And yes the power up sequence you described is normal with a dead battery. It must charge a little before turning on.
Tell your mom to try the same thing, holding power button for 15 sec.
If you are going to store it, it is best to have it at about 50% and then turn it completely off.

Pretty sure my mom just let battery run down. She's 89 so not too attentive to electronic things. I'll make sure it's charged when I see her and try to get it going again.
Also pretty sure (but not 100%) my wife's unit was off-off, not standby-off. At any rate, it booted up after being charged. Updating 19 apps right now. Thanks.

This may be late, and sound odd, but humor me if it's not resolved yet. Try to boot it with the SD card removed. My ovation went to doing the same thing, then further to showing false battery levels, and the SD card caused it. Inleqrndnthis by trying the SD card in a spanking new ovation, and my "faulty" ovation then booted, while the new one became problematic. Upon replacement of the now deemed faulty SD card, the problem has not returned.

Thanks. I'll be seeing my mom on Friday. Will try this if I can't get it started.

Got my mother's Nook started. She just doesn't have enough finger strength to hold the button down for the 15 seconds or so it took to start. I'm going to tell her to leave it on all the time and plug in the charger every night so the battery never runs down to nothing again.
