Hi,
I purchased my Nexus 5 8 months ago. a few days ago the phone just died and would not turn on. when i connect it to any charger ( wall outlet, PC USB, car) the red led is blinking 8 time and then stops and then repeats the cycle. i tried charginig it for the last 3 days hoping something will change but with no success. In addition, i also tried turning it on holding the power + vol - but no change.
your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm sorry if this topic has been discussed so many times, but I couldn't find symptoms like the ones my Moto G has.
Two weeks ago, my Moto G reached out to 0% and shuted down. After that I've tried the following possible fixes:
Leave the phone out a day off the charger and then charging it for 3-4 hours or even all night long.
Pressing the power button for several minutes while connected to the wall charger.
Connecting it to several chargers (750, 1500 and 2000 mah).
Taking out the battery cover, disconnecting the battery flex and then reconnecting it.
A few things I noticed were that my phone came with a 450 mah charger in the box, and when I connect the phone, the LED light lits continuosly and it never goes off.
When I tried with 1500 and 2000 mah chargers, the LED lits too, and while pressing the power button, the LED light flashes one time after 2-3 minutes, and then flashes again after 5-6 minutes. But these flashes are very glimmer. And no matter what I do, the screen never lights up, and the LED light never goes off.
Please, I desperately need your help. I bought this phone two months ago and I've unlocked the bootloader, so I don't think warranty will cover the phone.
Thank you very much.
if you press power + vol down does the phone goes to recovery? i figured out that even if the phone does not boot you can go to recovery (or is it bootloader?) and than go to barcodes and press vol up. some codes will show up. after a min or so it will turn off. repeat this until the phone wont even boot to recovery. now plug it in the charger and hold power button for 2-3min and than leave it charging for an hour and than try to power it up. if it will not work try to unplug it and plug it in again after a minute and than hold the power button again for 2-3min and leave it charging for an hour again. i got my moto g booted after few tryes.
it seems that moto g wont charge until the battery is completely drained.
I'm sorry but the phone won't boot into bootloader mode neither. Are there any other recommendations? Thanks for your reply.
EDIT: I'll see if I can record a video of the phone's behavior. Maybe it could help.

I recently ran into this... I let my XT1032 battery deplete to 0% and then had a difficult time getting it to recharge.
When the phone was plugged in to any of these:
- my desktop PC
- powered USB hub
- game console USB port
it powered on briefly and showed the white screen with 0% battery indicator. The screen would then go blank and then after a few minutes the phone would boot successfully to my lock screen. However, it seemed to stop taking charge at this point and after a few minutes would shut itself down again. And the cycle would repeat.
I was able to get it to boot to the bootloader through normal means (Vol. Down + Power). But it behaved similarly in that it seemed to stop taking a charge and so after a few minutes it would power down as the battery ran out. And the cycle would repeat.
What finally worked for me was to use a different charger (and cable). I ended up using the charger that came with my tablet (Nexus 7) and the phone charged up the battery without issue -- I'm not sure whether the charging cable made a difference.
There's some discussion here:
http://androidforums.com/threads/moto-g-died-and-now-wont-charge.837568/
that suggests that when the phone hits 0% battery, it becomes fussy about the charger and that a high charging current is required or else the charging circuit shuts down.
My experience would support that theory. Seems a rather dumb design on Motorola's part...
Lesson here is to not let your device run down to 0%!
Hello!
My Nexus 5 phone is now 1,5 years old. but after some time i didn't use it, because sometimes it didn't unlock (probably power button issue) i can't turn it on. When i connect it to the charger i saw red led for charging, but screen didn't response to charging. I tried power it on but it didn't work. I tried different button combinations and no one worked. I put my Nexus for some time but then when i came back i didn't see any red led for charging. So what is the phone problem. Maybe is battery dead or power button broken. Can anyone help me how to turn it on?
I couldnt turn it on . I got 1 or 2 blink led while pressing power for 10 seconds (this only if it is plugged), it doesnt do anything if unplugged. Tried 2 min hold power down, power and volume down, and several other options. Tried several charger, LG, Samsung, RPI2 (5v 2a), pc/notebook usb, and of course the original charger. Left it for charging all night, and several hours during the day. Nothing seems to work, battery still cold afetr so much time charging.
A few minutes ago, i removed the battery and plug it to a charger and it seems it wants to boot, see several blinks but the screen never turns on so the phone, after a few seconds it stop blinking.
What is going on???? Any help would be helpfull

Did you flash or modify something before this happened?
You might have to flash your stock firmware.

Hey guys,
a few days ago I accidentally dropped an HTC One E8 in water and obviously it doesn't work anymore. Before buying a new one I wanted to ask, if some of our "HTC experts" may have suggestions on what else I could try before giving up.
The situation: I dropped it in water, didn't turn it off (dumb, I know) and it worked for around 10 minutes until it powered off. I left it in rice for a day and it didn't turn on or charge. At this point I nearly gave up.
I left it for in rice (about 48 hours) and - the orange led was flashing while charging. Even the screen turned on and it showed a charging symbol first and after a few seconds it showed a red circle and a white exclamation mark. After some time I could power it on and the touchscreen worked and I could use it, but it still was around 1%/0%. The screen flickered, but it was usable. I wanted to plug it in my computer then to rescue some data, but 5 seconds after I took it off power (to switch from the wall charger to my PC) it died.
Now I tried it to power it on for like 2 days, but with no charger connected nothing happens and when I connect the charger, the orange led is on constantly. I tried power/volume- and power/volume+, but nothing happens. Not even the charging indicator comes up, the screen is completely dead.
Are there any steps to try before giving up? By the way I don't want to disassemble it
Thanks in advance
Was accessing dual recovery to wipe for a clean slate and it had a sudden death. The charging LED was no longer lit. Left the phone alone for about 2 weeks to let it drain but no response. Decided to order another battery for testing thinking it may have been bad, still no response. What I did notice is that if the battery is removed and the charger is connected, the LED blinks red constantly. However, if I were to attach the battery connector the LED will stop blinking after a few seconds. Is this an issue with the motherboard itself or can there something be done to bring it back to life?
*Update*
Let it charge for a couple of hours. Still not turning on but getting some response at least. The phone will now vibrate in sets of 3's if I hold down Power and Volume +. When trying to charge, the red LED will come on for 5 seconds then off every 5 seconds. When connected to the PC, it shows as unidentified USB, but the sound of it being disconnected is constantly going off. Not sure if anyone knows how I should proceed from here...

Hi my phone is a D6603 and i was having a very and inusual problem like you Sudden death with some response vibrating in sets of 3's. My problem was resolve when i remove the sim then press the reset button 2 times in a row but slowly and the phone was starting again
I dont remember if it was or not conected try both ways
Back up your files and start working to keep it warm and dry, remember that it can be water damage. I downloaded minergate and began to mine in easy difficulty so that it would not become slow, but at the same time to keep it warm. It is only to dry if it was damaged by water, I do not recommend anyone to mine with a smartphone xD
