This is something that bothers me too, I have had the screen on all the way through the night on the odd occasion, this can generate a lot of heat..
So far I haven't found anything though ):
Odd, I plug it in, set it down, the screen comes on, and I hit the power button one time. It shuts off the rest of the night. Is this not normal? Either way, if you turn it off and plug in the charger, it'll still charge but the screen won't come on since most of the phone is off.
The screen starts up when the charge plug is inserted to alert to change of status on screen, i.e. the phone is now in charge mode.
I remember my iPhone used to do the same.
I doubt there's a way around that..
My phone sometimes needs a few power button presses in order for it to stay off, however when its plugged in my touchscreen acts erratic

Today I noticed, while having my phone in a pocket, that it vibrates. Thought it was an sms or something but after I pulled it out, the screen was black. And kept on restarting itself in like 10 second intervals. Then the screen got stuck black with backlight on. Now I cannot power it on. It does it by itself randomly. No way to enter bootloader. After pressing hard buttons I randomly get a vibration feedback. Tried 2 different batteries. If I plug the charger in, no light comes up. After maybe 20 minutes on charger it gets warm (not where the battery is but above where the radio is).
Anyone ever seen this before? Any ideas would be more than greatly appreciated!!!!

Try this,
Turn off phone, push volume down and plug in the usb cable to your computer, don't turn it on, if the hardware is ok, tricolor should appear.

Thanx for the tip. My phone, however, resurrected by itself in the middle of night after it did hard reset by itself. So I used raphdiag and reloaded new rom. Hope to never see this again!
My device was running a little low on juice, so I plugged it in while watching tv for about an hour or so.
When I tried to unlock it, nothing happened so I thought crud maybe my ac wasn't plugged in. I attached the charging cable and the led did turn on so not sure what's up. I long pressed the power button and saw the surface logo but then the screen went dark. This is while it is plugged in to charge mind you.
If the battery really was dead, shouldn't I be able to use it while plugged in?
Whenever I plug in I usually make sure I see the led but even if I missed it or forgot, how patient should I be to wait doe it to charge up?
Even if completely discharged, it's posible to boot Surface RT while it's plugged in. At worst, a few minutes of charging should give it enough joice to get past the boot screen (it charges very quickly, ~3 hours for a full charge and 2 hours for mostly full).
Still unable to boot up :/
I plugged my phone in last night and when I woke up today it was off. I pulled out the charging cord and held the power button with no effect. Thinking the cord may have slipped partly out and let the phone die, I plugged it back in and was greeted by the battery charging screen, showing full charge. I pressed the power button and the phone went black. On further investigation, it seems my press of the power button didn't have to do with it turning off, as whenever I plug it in it shows the full battery screen for a couple of seconds before turning off again. If I unplug it and plug it back in it just repeats this. I've reseated the battery, I've tried holding volume down and the power button, and nothing's changed the phone's behavior. The phone is completely stock, and never opened beyond the battery and card doors.
It's pretty old and I'm pretty sure I do have an upgrade available, so I'm not too upset if I have to buy a new phone, but I'd like to confirm that it is FUBAR before I go that far, and I'd like to be able to extract my data if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you have access to another battery, you could try that, but since you're seeing the full battery symbol I'm guessing that that's not the issue. You can always recover your sdcard data by putting it in a card reader, but the phone's apps, app data, and settings may be more difficult.
Well, turns out the problem was much less serious than I thought: my charging cord has bitten the dust. I'm not sure why I've been seeing the full battery, but when I took it to the AT&T store, the person who helped me plugged it in and it started right up. I just need to get a cable that's not my years-old piece of crap that came with the phone.
I don't leave my tablet on the charger and I just went to use it and it wasn't turning on? I held the power button + vol button to soft reset, and nothing happened so I tried the reset button and it didn't do anything either.
Nothing's happened with it to make this happen that I know of.
Anyone hear of this?
Thanks
If I take the tablet off of the docking station and plug it straight into the tablet the amber charging light next to the power button blinks 3 times then stays solid.
What the hell?!
Whew! False alarm!
I just left it plugged in OFF of the docking station (I think it charges the docking station first thus not getting any power to the actual tablet for a little longer) and then tried turning it on and it vibrated and then powered up.
I almost pooped a bricked.
When connected to the dock, the dock will get filled first and then it will begin to charge the tablet. If both are running very low and you need to quick charge, charge the tablet directly first to give it enough juice to turn on.
hi guys,
2 days ago I got a nexus 5 loved it until today I was playing a game (asphalt 8) and it just turned it self off don't know why just did now all im getting is a flashing red light I was on holiday with the phone could the plane have done something to it anyway guys please help me
thanks
Prime
No, the plane didn't do anything to the phone.
Did the battery die? Did you stick the phone on a charger after it turned off?
Best guess is that it's overheated to the thermal shutdown limit.
Leave it a while then try powering it back on

na, when you hit the safety shutdown temp, all it does is shut down, you can boot it right after. ive reached it many times(on purpose), it works.
what the op is describing sounds like the rlod on the nexus 4(red light of death). it happens when the phone thinks it went below 0%. on the n4 there are two solutions, one works sometimes, the other all the time. the one that works sometimes is leave it on the charger for several hours, then try to boot into the bootloader, then shut off the phone from there and keep charging. the method that works 100% is to remove the back cover, disconnect the battery, then reconnect it. this is a hard reset for the battery, and works 100% of the time on the nexus 4.

if it was something that happened on its own(without you tinkering with your phone), then yes.

You may want to give this procedure a try, its copied directly from Google's product support page for the Nexus 7.
Make sure there isn’t any dust or lint in the power port.
Using the original power adapter and USB cable, plug your Nexus 7 into a functioning power outlet. Nexus 7 has specific power requirements, and the USB cable and power adapter that are included are designed to meet those requirements.
Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the tablet and the power adapter.
After 1 minute, check to see if a battery icon appears on the screen.
If the battery icon appears, press & hold the Power button for 15 to 30 seconds to see if the device turns on.
If the battery icon doesn't appear, try accessing the Android bootloader menu:
Press & hold the Volume down button. While holding Volume down, press & hold the Power button for at least 10 seconds until you see an Android robot and the word Start on the screen.
Press the Volume down button until Power off is highlighted. Press the Power button to select that option.
Disconnect the charger and reconnect it within 10 seconds. A battery icon should appear on your screen.
Once the battery icon appears on the screen, allow your tablet to charge for at least 1 hour before turning it back on.
returned it

I got a new one thanks for all your help
I just had a red blinking light and no charge indicator situation, as well. Nothing seemed to work: plugged it in for 20 minutes, unplugged it for 20 minutes, plugged it back in...and after another hour on the charger I finally noticed the blinking red light had gone away, and hitting power brought up the charging indicator as normal. Booted right up and has been fine since.
My Nexus 5 just started doing this. I was in the middle of playing a game while my phone was on the charger (Brave Frontier) and suddenly the screen went dead and I had the red flashing light. I'm guessing I was using the juice faster than the charger could fill it so I killed it. I couldn't get the battery indicator to come back but as I was typing this the red light finally stopped flashing and the phone rebooted.
This happened to my N5 today. I was on a Hangouts video chat while plugged in from wall charger and I noticed the battery was actually draining rather than charging. So I figured hangouts was discharging the battery faster than the charging. Eventually it went to 0% and stayed that way for a while and suddenly the screen went off and the LED started blinking red. Followed the steps posted here, plugged in, left for a while and the blinking stops and phone boots up.
Never Hangout-ing with low charge ever! D:
