This happened to me. I closed everything using advanced task manager to no avail, powered off my phone, left it off for a while, then kept swiching it off and on. Eventually I got it to work after removing my battery and sim card.

I got my son a 32GB nexus 7 for Christmas but it didn't turn out very well. Right out of the box it wouldn't turn on. No big deal I thought, i'll just plug in the charger and let it charge for a while. 2 hours later I try to power it up again. No luck. nothing happening at all. So now its 1:30 AM on christmas morning and i'm still messing with this thing. Hold power for 30 seconds, nothing. Hold power and Volume + to get into recovery, nothing. So back on the charger it goes. 7am. Still dead, nothing happening. Back on the charger. Kid's not happy that his new tech toy isn't working. So around 10 AM I'm standing there talking to my wife while holding the power button down for what seemed like 2 minutes and I look down and see the Nexus "X".... Holy cow, its alive. So we let it start up and dive right into setup. It rebooted 2 times while trying to setup. Third time we make it all the way through and get started downloading some apps. All updates applied up to 4.2 and I thought we were in the clear. So off my kid goes playing angry birds and Navy fighter happy as can be.... Yep, crashed again and was not able to power it back up again. So its in the box headed back to buydig.com I guess this one was a real lemon.
Did some looking around and couldn't find much that relates to my problem. It seems it was just my turn to get the lemon.

If you have to call support to send it back, DO NOT tell them you opened it to check the batt connector as they insist this will void your warranty. Just a heads-up.
just do not tell them you did anything to it. they should give you a rull replacement
i also got a nexus 7 from parents for christmas and am loving it, hopefully he understands it is just a mistake and this is still a high quality product
I had multiple Nexus 7's and so far not one has had any issues.

Original returned to buy dig.com. got a 32gb from staples and all is well. Never opened the case on the first N7 so I can't tell you what was wrong. After playing with the new one though, the original had screen issues. No charge animation when plugged in.
I've been experiencing weird issues mostly during Spotify audio streaming as well as during playing local files and a video once. It will play music fine for a couple songs then it will stop all sound yet show that it is still playing. From that point generally if I skip to the next track it will hard reboot. I tried a factory reset already but it hasn't helped. Anyone know my options here? I'd return it but I dropped the phone about a foot yesterday and the glass cracked near the volume buttons, it doesn't go over the screen but it's enough that I couldn't return it now.

My wife was complaining about something similar today, except hers didn't reboot, but she also might not have tried to skip track. Just to mention though, Spotify dropped an updated version to the play store today. Perhaps that might fix your issue?

You're not the only one. A friend dropped his on Saturday and got a crack all the way across the back/home/menu buttons. I thought these things were supposed to have Gorilla Glass on them... Anyways, you could always go to AT&T's website and purchase the insurance since you're still in the 30 day window, for $6.99/mo, and then pay the $125 deductible to get a replacement...

Unfortunately it has happened during a video, during Spotify (multiple versions, found a list of many old APKs on their forum) and also during Pandora so I'm not really sure what to do but wait and hope someone with more knowledge points me in the right direction.

I'll probably just leave it the way it is since it doesn't actually affect the glass. If I ever figure out how to add a warranty I'll probably do it now so I can replace it once I'm fed up with looking at the crack. Thanks for the suggestions!
After you log in to myatt, if you hover over the myatt menu, and then wireless, there's an option about mobile insurance. If you go there, it gives you the option to add insurance to eligible devices.

I did a factory reset and installed only Spotify and the reboot occurred in 5 songs and was accompanied by a loud high pitched sound that persisted until it finally rebooted. Looks like I have dud.
Might be worth seeing if you can get it fixed under warranty for that issue Ewen disregarding the damage...

Yeah you're right, I contacted HTC first (haha) to see what they have to say about replacing it even though the glass is cracked. If it ends up being 200+ to get it fixed I don't know what I'll end up doing. Sucks because other than the audio reboots and the crack this phone is my favorite android phone ever and I've had a lot of them.

Thanks, it's in the box and ready to ship. Hopefully there is some development going on by the time I get a working one back, it kinda surprises me there isn't more interest in this. It's the first Android phone that felt right in my hand, was decently quick, easy to get to stock and had great battery life.
Right, I may or may not be alone in this but the rattle from my power button was really starting to p**s me off. I could hear it clearly when the phone was at arms length and I tapped the screen anywhere in the top half. I thought it was the camera at first, then found holding the power button still whilst using the phone stopped it. This morning I was using my phone and decided to do something about it.
First can I say this was not any normal rattle (i.e camera lens), you could clearly hear it at arms length whilst tapping the screen in the top half. I made this video because people have told me they have the same issue. If you take your phone apart and break it, that's not my fault.
For those that have this problem and decide to do this, I hope it helps It has made me a hell of a lot happier with the phone.

Ah, forgot to mentiom, this is my 2nd one. Bought my first one and heard the rattle, took it back after 2 hours. The replacement does the same thing and looking on here in the defects thread it seems a few people have the problem. There's no sort of warranty seal inside the phone and the stuff can easily be taken out again should it die for some reason and I need to get a new one under warranty.
nice? possible to change into a higher mah battery?

Some people analyse small insignificant things too much, surely it couldn't have made an audible noise level outside of a sound proof box.
Did the sales person look at you bemused or did he test the rattle and end up deafened by it?

He agreed that he could hear the rattle. It may not have seemed that important to him in a loud and busy shop, but when you're sat on your sofa in the evening and even the slightest of taps near the top of the screen make it rattle it doesn't take long before it becomes very annoying. If it were just when I shook the phone near my ear or something then I would have just accepted it, but it's the fact it is hard to ignore,even at arms length, made me want to do something about it.

Pressing on a certain spot of the screen (about 1/3 of the way from the top) makes an audible click and I can kind of feel it under my thumb too. I've had the phone for less than a week and it seems to work fine otherwise. I'll bring it into the Sony store on Monday to see what they say.
What could it be? Does this happen to anyone else? Do you think it's worth getting fixed?

How did you find out about this problem? Did you read about it somewhere and decided to try pressing your screen as well?
I'm pretty sure you'd never have found out about it during normal usage. Or did you randomly think to yourself "hey, I should really press my new phone's screen unusually hard and see if it make any noises" ?

I posted a thread about it a couple of days ago but should have mentionned it here as well that my phone wouldn't turn on after sleeping with it. I was checking for damage and I noticed this and assumed it was related. Though looking back, I'm pretty sure it was an unrelated software malfunction (kernel panic?), mainly because the battery kept draining during that time. It was at 60% when it was seemingly bricked (wouldn't even react to being plugged into multiple chargers and computers). then 24 hours later it magically let itself get charged, but for some reason was completely discharged at 0%. Everything worked normally from then on.

I'm a little worried about screen rigidity. After reading the other post about pressing the screen and seeing a rainbow and then seeing a YouTube video about a popping sound when you press on the screen. Hope Sony didn't go cheap here.

I'd definitely send the phone for repair before the glass spontaneously cracks
As you know I had same problem as you re power button not working but my phone won't revive I've now sent it in for repair.
I tried you screen click thing and got no clicking
same problem here
I'm having the same problem. Could you please let me know if it's a manufacture problem or not. Thank you in advance. and hopefully it's not.

I think it is, it definitely shouldn't be doing that. But I've decided to leave it be. I've ordered some tempered glass screen protectors - should stiffen up the screen a bit among other benefits.

Seems like they all do this sound
I purchased my Z3 yesterday and I also noticed this weird sound while I was putting the case on. So today I went back to the store to see if it was just mine.
I tested 4 different Z3 with the dude a the sony store and they all seem to be doing the same sound at the same spot. However i still got mine replaced for one that seemed a little better than the others.
So yeah it looks like it's normal...
Guess what? I found the same issue somehow couple of weeks back and thought it was weird. I wasnt trying to test anything specifically and just clicking on phone for something at that time and heard the noise. So I did some more checks and saw it happening on the top half of the screen only.
Mind does the same thing. I bought it yesterday and noticed it this morning...hopefully it isn't something that I need to return it for.

They all do it, z3 and z3 compact. I tested 4 different z3 and 2 z3 compact at the sony store when I went to get an exchange for mine.
I took one which seemed a little less worst, but still do it.
I'm probably gonna buy a tempered glass, it might help lessen the default.
