Hey, just bought a new Z3, and I plug it in, at night before I go to sleep. In the morning after not waking up in time since the alarm clock didnt work, I was surprised to fins out that the phone is off, it has the black screen with the loadimg icon in the middle. Holding the power key turns it on normally. Heppened like 3 times now. When it is charging, but I use it for like a few hours nothing heppenes, its not turning off when I use it. And all kind of stamina and battery life savers are off. Dont have a fishy app or anything either.
Hopefully u couls help me with that.

So here is the deal...
My kids needed a night light as we are on vacation so I decided to plug the power charger and left the flashlight app on the entire night. Now that I think about it not a smart idea.
When I woke up this AM the phone had the battery charging icon on the screen. This only appears when the phone is charging while it is powered off.
So far I have removed the battery several times and tried to power the phone on with no success.
I have also tried to hold the volume down and press the power button as recommended on various forums with no luck.
I am overseas right now (home town is the usa) and I need my phone more than if I was home .
Any idea how the flashlight app left ON while also powering may have caused this?
Or is this just a coincidence and I am having an issue that others are having and it is not related to what I did last night?
Thanks and any help is greatly appreciated.
By flashlight app do you mean one that turns on the camera flash or one that leaves the screen on?
I am also unclear what you mean by:

Does the icon appear even when not charging? Does the screen function at all? Or does the phone seem completely dead, as in not even vibrating when powering on after removing battery.
If it was the camera flash, it might have overheated and damaged something, but this is just my speculation.
By flashlight I mean the one that leaves the screen on in white color.
The icon only appears while the phone is hooked up to the charger. When I unlplug it it disappears. (So to me this answers your question if the screen works at all).
The phone does not vibrate when I try to power it on after I remove and put back the batter.
Thanks for your quick reply and hope this answers your questions.
No LED and nothing on screen?
crap, i knew i'd be missing notification lighting but i forgot this applies to charging as well... d'oh...
still excited for mine to be delivered tomorrow... the wait is killing me ... sorry for not having an answer
shortly pressing the power button will bring up a screen animation showing how much of the battery is charged, found out by accident actually!
Actually if you want to see the charging process indicator, press one of the volume buttons to temporarily turn on the screen - this is much better than the power button method as we all know if you hold the power button down too long, the phone boots - undesirable when you are calibrating.
I get very inconsistent results with either button. How do I know when it is done charging based on that green battery indicator?
I just noticed this as well, while the phone is powered on there is NO way to tell that it is charging, or how far it is? all previous phones had at least a small LED that went from red, or orange, to green. This has nothing.
So only if powered off, you can check. lame!
It's a game, you guess how much it's charged and then you turn the screen on to check if you were over or under.
I'm not being smart or anything but why would you turn you phone off to charge it? The only reason I can think if is not wanting to be reached while sleeping or something but at that point you can just silence your ringer.

I bought mine and it's turned off, so there's your answer. I have no way of knowing if it's even charging or anything.
What does it take, .0003 seconds to hit the volume button? My HD2 has all types of notification lights. I never go by them. If I'm looking for notification of something then I usually have my phone is my hand. Very simple to turn it on.

The phone isn't able to be turned on. I just bought it an hour ago and since it's completely dead, I can't turn it on to check anything, nor is there an indicator of if it's even getting a charge. Or I have a bad phone. Either way, it's not exactly a great design.
*It just turned on finally. Guess it was beyond dead when I got it.
Boo hoo. Who cares? You soul knew this before you bought it, our should have

Your soul knew it before you bought it? Wow! My soul hasn't mentioned this to me yet.
I've had two occasions today where the phone doesn't want to wake, and holding the power button down for any length of time does nothing.
Probably something related to GPS, as I think I left Earth running the last time.
I do wish there was an LED, or a capacitive button left on, or SOMETHING.

What are you talking about, if the phone is on just press the power button once and it says "Charging (XX%)"
I know because i'm charging mine as i type this, currently at 88% charged...
^what he said
Here's my tip for this:
Clock.
Yep, Clock. Tap it, then hit the button in the top right if you want to dim the screen.

Negative.........
When the battery is fully charged a small screen pops up telling you your battery is at 100% and to unplug the charger.
There are some apps n the market that will put a small light on your screen for charging, email, text, ect.
Hi. I have searched for a good hour or so. I found stuff on black screen after a pleathera of other things but not after your battery died. I was texting from my phone and the battery died. Since then, it will not turn back on. Well, it turns on because it is vibrating and when I try to do the power button, volume button thingy...the green light goes on and it vibrates, but still nothing on the screen. when I have it plugged into the charger, I can see a light in the background but as soon as I unplug it, the light goes off...can you help or direct me to the correct thread. I really did try looking for the solution but all that I see are things that have happend while trying to update or etc. thank you

I did read somewhere a while back that somebody else had this issue. They just took it to att and told them their battery died and their phone won't turn on. They will give you a new battery to try. A new battery fixed it for the guy in the article I read.
hey guys i just got my transformer today. a couple of times i shut it off and when i try to turn it back on it wont work unless i plug it in, even though the battery is above 90%
I have a very similar issue.
I have the B40 model, when I shut down, I can't turn back on. I have been leaving my TF on all day then just shut down at night and when I come to turn on in the morning, iit is fine. Today I had to restart due to wifi constantly saying it was turning off for no reason, upon shutting down, it wouldn't power back up. I hav left it for approx 1 and a half hours, still nothing. Doesn't make any difference if it is plugged in or not. My battery is full.
Really could do with some help with this issue, as it is really spoiling what I regard as a brilliant device.

Once you plug it in and it come on, does it stay on when you take the charger off?
Once on and you hit the power button does it do anything?
You might have a faulty power button IMO.
I don't know about Krueger, but mine doesn't do anything when you plug it in. I have to wait a few hours. When I last shutdown, I was trying to restart, it just never did. I had full charge. I can't even get into APX mode. My TF is stock unrooted. Power button works just fine when tablet is on, does exactly as it should.

I've seen reports of peoples getting this "deep sleep" and not able to turn it on easily. Not sure if there's a definite fix or not. Some peoples say they have good luck turning of the lock screen, some say they fixed it by factory resetting the tablet.

Cheers m8.
I will give this a try when I can turn it back on again. Its been approx 6 hrs now since I tried to restart it. I will have to wait till morning I think. When it has done it previously, I have left it on charge all night, even though there was more than half in it each time, and it seems to start up after about 7 - 10 seconds of holding the power button in.
Thanks again

So I have spent 15 mins listening to the back of the device while trying toturn on. From what I can hear it sounds like a quiet jet engine firing up for approx 1-1 and a quarter seconds then sounds like the jet engine turning off (I know this sounds wierd, but best way I can describe). Its almost like there isnt enough power to fire it all the way up. There also other noises going on even when I dont try and turn it on, so I don't think it is fully turned of. Maybe a deep sleep issue. I did notice on this occassion, befor I tried to restart that I had no internet connection and when I went to check wifi settings it said Wifi is turning off. I leave it set to default.
Thanks

UPDATE: After letting it charged for 2.5 hours now it's able to turn on. Contacted asus they say i need to charge it at least 8 hours for the first time use to "condition the battery" even if it's fully charged (which it is right now, is that charging time too fast or normal?) . So i'll wait 6 more hours before using it. Thanks guys for helping me. If no one said anything i would've been worried and nervous lol
Just got mine faster than expected.
After unbox i tried 3 times to power it on, but it did not
Then i plugged it to charge, it showed on the screen the battery icon charging and then turn off the screen, now looks like it's charging, the light on the power button show red/orange
BUT THE THING IS: right now it's charging and when i try to power it on it won't turn on, and the light flashes/blinks while i'm holding the power button. Isn't that weird? It's plugged it should have power to turn on
Did i get a decfective product? Please help. Thanks
Had the same. Need to charge a couple hours before you can turn it on.
Just needs to charge. Mine works fine, but won't turn on at all if the battery is dead, will only give me the battery icon until it charges a bit.
Thank you guys. I was so excited and just wanted to turn it on to see what android ics looks like but i gotta wait.
EDIT: when can i turn it on? Do i have to leave it on charge for 8 hours like the manual says. I guess while waiting i can play some games on my brother's ipad

Ok, but in the case that its not a new device, and no need for battery conditioning... will this still solve the problem? All symptoms fit... Orange blinking light, battery logo only, no hard reset response... ?
