Dead after 3 hrs

Was excited opened the box today and played with the nexus 7 for about 3 hrs. Installed some apps and download a movie. Then the screen went black and never came back. It was charging at the time. Tried holding the power button for 10 seconds and nothing. Called Google they said hold all three buttons, that did nothing. Guess I'm taking it back to game stop. Going to have to wait for another to come in. Anyone else have this issue out any ideas

There was another similar occurrence earlier today. Think it was from UK maybe? Most likely you'll need to call Google for RMA.

Which firmware were you running?

Google said return it to game stop. Gs said they would take it back. It was running the latest update. Bc it ran an update after I opened it

Yup, I had exactly the same problem. Screen froze, flickered and then died completely. Btw, if you press the bezel around the screen is the left hand edge in portrait spongier/less robust than the rest of the device?

Not enough to be noticeable.

Hmm. Don't want to be "that guy" but... You only mention taking it out and playing.
Did you actually try plugging it in?
Edit: Woops, missed it on my phone. If it was charging, I'd advise you to get in touch with google. Try volume up + power for 10 seconds too though, just to be sure.

I hope mine is not faulty, it is on its way.

Similar things have happened on my Lumia 900. It has helped me to plug it in and out over and over and then try the button reset.

After getting an RA from ebuyer, I now have it working again after a number of hours on charge and doing much as txaggies07 quote suggests. I think there may have been a problem that the charge wasn't going through properly yesterday, even though I plugged it in and it registered on the icon top right. Once the screen died there was no response with the usual charging icon even after disconnect and reconnect (I even tried a different mains socket!) However, since I got it to boot again I have had 2 random reboots without doing anything taxing on it.
It is kinda flaky behaviour, but maybe it is worth a shot aklbeach? At least until Monday !

How were you charging? If by computer USB port that's probably why

Mains socket, as stated.

Yea I tried holding the power button for ten seconds and holding all 3 buttons like Google recommended. I already returned it to game stop. Now just waiting on another. It was plugged in to the wall charger. It was showing that it was charging and I tried plugging it in again the next day and still didn't do anything.

I had a similar experience. Played with mine for about 6 hours.
Testing things, trying things out, downloading apps, etc.
Put it to sleep and was preparing for bed myself. After a few minutes
I decided to download one more app. Tried to wake it up, but it was dead!
Tried all sorts of things: long press, pressing several of the buttons, tried
to connect it to PC to see if it would be recognized -- no go
I then plugged it into the wall to charge it overnight to see if that would work (no charging icon showed up)
The next day, still dead.
Called Google Play and they are sending me a new one.

I would say pull the battery for a minute and then plug it back in a try again but i think that might void the warranty. Seriously my G2 does that when its in my pocket sometimes and pressing the power button does nothing until a pull the battery. I'm about 68% sure that pulling the battery will get it to boot again.
Honestly though any electronic device with a sealed battery should come with on of those paperclip hard reset buttons, unfortunately logic fails some time.

No worries, not a waste. I had to check myself when it died. And when it wouldn't charge (did I turn it on at the wall? Maybe the socket is broken? Has there been a power cut? Am I imagining this?) Weird thing was it came back to life after much fiddling. I now think there may have been a stray piece of plastic or similar covering a pin and blocking the feed.

Wont turn on, left out in sun

A friend of mine was at the beach over the weekend. He had his atrix hd with him. He said that it did a tone, I assume a shutdown audio or something, and not his phone won't dock, usb charge, wall charge, car charge, and turn on. Is he SOL?

Has he tried holding power button and both volume buttons and the same time for a few seconds.

Ya... I tried that. Tried a combo of all 3, power+vol up, power+vol down... nothing. I had a atrix 4g and you could remove the battery, I guess there is no way to do it with the hd?

Ya but that is not the same as doing a battery pull.
Is there a way to force it to power on?
Sent from my PACmaned SCH-I535

idk about forcing to power on but the reason i linked the vid was to show the process of geting to the battery and removing it since its built in its not as simple.

You could try hooking a factory cable up to it.
Sent from my U8655 using xda app-developers app

That cable is probly won't do much more than add extra cash to a dead phone I would say get a replacement from your provider I live on an island in a beach community an have had one go out due to what I think was lite water in the phone an the ear piece stopped working spear was good but not the ear piece anyway probly got it sum water on it an it died (ever herd a death rattle) had to say it

[Q] HTC One dead and won't respond

The phone was in my pocket and when I pulled it out it was dead. When I press the power button nothing shows up, no LED lights nothing. I've tried hard rebooting by holding Vol+ & Power at the same time even Vol- & Power but still nothing. Does anyone know what the problem is? It's been perfectly functional for a month till now.

If you plug it in to a charger for awhile do you see any lights?

I'll try as soon as I get back. I'm outside so also in sort of a bad place for the phone to die.

Lol sounds like your battery ran out

Funny Thread

Could it be that it was on without you knowing? The screen, that is. I have heard it and seen it make a change, forget to put it back, screen stays on, battery dies, etc. Maybe it was just an accident? Just keep tabs on it and see how you battery life is after you charge it again.

Dead Device

Good day everyone,
Looking for a little assistance here. I have the ONE (m7ul) running the official CM nightlies last flash i did was Saturday October 19.
Everything was fine and i was charging the device and using winamp for some tunes. The device shut off on it's own and will not power on anymore. The led light will not even come on when charging on the wall charger or via usb.
I did talk to HTC and they had me hold the power button down while holding the volume rocker down for 3 complete minutes to no avail. which makes me think it is a hardware issue so sending it in for repair is most likely what will happen but does anyone know if it being rooted and running CM will matter? being that it is a hardware issue and not software..
any help would be appreciated.

What do you see when you connect it using usb?
Let it charge for a while and wait for the led to maybe turn on

Ya i tried that as well, it was on the wall charger for over 15 hours last night and still no led light. I did not leave it plugged into the usb for very long though, just to test it.
Do you think leaving it on usb for awhile might make a difference?
Thanks for your response too.

[Q] How often do you turn off you Chromecast ?

Does anyone turn off their CC from time to time?
Who here has had theirs running nonstop the longest?

I have not shut it off since the day I got it....That was sometime before Christmas.
I do notice it reboots itself once a day around 2am though.

My chromecast is powered by the USB port of my TV. So everytime I turn off my TV, the chromecast shuts down and boots when I start my TV.

Somewhere close to 3 months now, except for short reboots.
I'm one of those guys that believes there's more stress powering something up from cold than to keep it running. Of course I also have a nontrivial electricity bill. :\

Same here.
Gotta stay up late tonight to check if that's true.

Yep, had mine for about three months as well and I have never shut it off apart from a few reboots.

I use the usb adapter for power, so it turns off whenever the TV is off.

Do you think there's any of this "stress" being added as the chromecast is running and maintaining a connection to your router and talking to the internet for all the hours you're not using it?

Mine is powered by the TV too and shuts off when it's off. This is useful when I'm switching Netflix regions on NetProtect, as rebooting the stick is as easy as power cycling the TV.

Nah. Chromecast 'chatters' far less than your phone/tablet does, as it doesn't have much in the way of notifications, etc.

I would assume it just polls for firmware upgrades periodically, and maybe downloads new display images.

The Devs stated that it checks for firmware updates every twenty hours unless your set to "not' check but whitelist updates I "assume" happen as changes are made but not all users at the same time.

It could even be the expiration of the DHCP releasing and renewing for all I know...My Guess is it doesn't just renew it reboots to do it.
Just noticed it because of the CEC protocol my Switcher supports, I have noticed it switching after rebooting while I was watching TV which is on the same Switcher....

The reboots definitely happen.. My HDMI switch automatically switches to any device that turns on or powercycles. If I happen to be watching another source at the time, at 2AM my HDMI switch will jump over to the Chromecast just in time to see the Chromecast booting up.
If it is actively being used it does not do this.

Good confirmations. That explains why my LED was blinking (as it does shortly before reconnecting) early one morning...
I don't see any switcher happen on reboot, but my TV doesn't auto-switch when a new input is detected, though it does obey CEC and switch when casting.

I have to unplug when not in use, and even when it's in use, tv screen flashes trying to change HDMI inputs.

That shouldn't happen unless your TV has HDMI-CEC problems or your HDMI port/cable connection is bad.
Try switching HDMI ports.
If that doesn't help, try turning off HDMI CEC control (aka Bravia Sync, LG Simplink, Samsung Anynet+, Panasonic Viera Link) and see if the problem continues to occur.

It's a Bravia and Sync is on to talk to the DVD. I'll turn it off to see if that helps.

I'm pretty sure on my Bravia you can turn control on/off per connected device, so you should be able to keep control on your DVD player while turning off control for Chromecast.

Wife will like that ;+)
