Nexus7 is turning itself off during overnight charge

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.

Ikr. First time it happened to me I was like wtf? It might to stop the 2 amp charger from overcharging? My unit is fine, I think the sound is just right. I might get that squaretrade warranty though.

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???

My Nexus 7 fizzled and died!

I was using my Nexus 7, playing a game. It then static-screened and hissed for 2 secs and then died! It was charging through PC USB.
It won't power up anymore.
WTH?

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...

mysteriously dead IncS

Yesterday my phone shutted because my battery, I connected to my car and charged a while, I got out from charging and using 2-3 minutes more and battery died again. When I got home I connected it to AC power and powered on, It was working without problem. I left my phone maybe 1 hour charging and when I took it again it was dead: screen dead, no life signal, just the led blinking slowly when connected to power (either AC and USB)...tried to take off battery but nothing. Today I connected it to PC and windows has recognized it but cannot identify it (on the PC the classic USB device not recognized error with yellow triangle on top) and the led is always blinking.
Any idea? should I have to buy a new phone?
thanks

Try Running some POST tests. As in, Power off your device and wait for few seconds. Then Press and hold your power key and your volume down key. You should be able to access your Bootloader. (If you have Rooted your device, you could access your recovery and clear the battery stats although your device's condition seems peculiar/critical). Its worth a shot If you ask me.

I have already tried it but nothing, cleared dalvik and battery stats..I cannot understand whats going on. Now phone is working again but it cannot maintain battery, I mean I kept it in charge all the night but when I power on the phone it shuts down just when it starts android (thats strange because I went to a store yestarday and tried a new battery but it didn't worked, when got home I tried to power on it again and it started)...this is driving me crazy!!
edit: I turned it on, plugged in AC charger and phone after some minutes told me that (I don't remember the exact message) power needed by the phone is more than the charger could provide...
edit2: now it is on and it is charging (USB) and it doesn't charge more than 21%...really strange

Odd that this hasn't been mentioned but perhaps try a different usb cable? Different port? Seems obvious but you never know. Cables can deteriorate.

I have tried 3 different cables and 2 different computers...same result. I have flashed a new ROM, plugged in for charging and now is stuck on 15% battery (5 minutes aga was 16%, it discharges while plugged in).

What do you think about?

C6903 No longer charging.

My Z1 has started playing silly games, it no longer charges properly! It will be fine for a while, typically ten minutes or so, then it will pop up a warning message saying the connected power source isn't charging the battery. It will then drain faster than it can charge. Last night for example I put it on charge around 7pm with 67% and took it off at 8am this morning, but it's dropped to 3%. I've tried various chargers and cables, the dock, all 3 of my magnetic cables (how I normally it charge anyway) and tried all the usual methods of reset such as holding the red button under the SIM port down. Nothing works. It started around two weeks ago, since then I have flashed another firmware but the problem persists.
My phone is currently plugged into a 2 amp capable magnetic dock plug with the Sony plug that comes in the box. Just typing this message it's drained the battery 9% while on charge, wifi on and network off, screen brightness down and no other apps open.
I've spoken to Sony and they won't do anything, my rear glass is cracked so they won't even look at it and they seem to think it's water damage! The phone hasn't ever seen water so that's a load of BS from them.
What can I do?

I have the same problem after updating to KitKat. I'm using dock station too, but not the one that came with my phone (I didn't got any with it).
I put my phone to charge, and after 5-10 minutes it starts to show the message. One time I found my phone drained till 0% in the morning. So, I found a simple solution for my phone. Before I put the phone to charge, I turn it off, wait 2-3 seconds then turn it on. I immediately put the phone to the dock in the boot process. That's the only way I can properly charge my phone.
Hope this will help you...

Is my battery fried?

Battery issue-seems to be unique. Didn't get phone extremely wet but it was being used in a bit of light rain yesterday when this issue surfaced. Phone died at some point in my pocket on the way into office from car. Set it to charge and, since then, i get flashing orange light with the battery/lightning bolt indicator-in perpetuity . Tried messing with all kinds of button combinations on and off charger and nothing has changed-flashing orange light w/battery indicator (empty-no green or percentage). Phone doesn't even seem to heat up even after hours on charger. Any help would be greatly appreciated, my m7 getting to feel extremely dated on day two.

Kind of an old.trick but a good one,
Go to: data/system
Delete: batterystats.bin
Plug in phone and let battery charge (if it will)
When battery is fully charged dont un plug your phone, go to data/system again and delete batterystats.bin again. Reboot your phone.
When the light turns green again then unplug the phone. This is basically a manual reset for batterystats.

Would love to try this but I can't boot into recovery whatsoever- almost a month later and I'm still stuck with: empty battery charging emblem and a flashing red light in perpituity
