I can't turn on Droid

My wife put her phone to charge as usual as soon as there were only 3% left and found it in an hour and a half turned off. now it does not turn on. What had happened? How to turn it on? I put it to charge some more, but nothing changes.
It was 100% stock recently updated to the latest FW via OTA.
What a hell???

What is the charge percentage?

It was 13% before we plugged it in... Now it does not show anything, I cant turn it on. I've tried to charge it a home for 3+ hours, but nothing changed.

First try holding down the power button for 2 seconds. Let go and count to 2 again and re-press the power button for like 30 seconds.

Try holding down the down volume button and power button for a few seconds at the same time and release it and check if u enter the bootloader menu.. If that works then press the Volume up button to confirm the normal power up...

I've tried all combinations, hold power, power + vol down, power + vol up, each up to 20 seconds. They were not able to turn it on in Verizon store as well. Luckily they just replaced it for me.
SO be careful with Droid minis...

Did they plug it in in the store?

They tried as hard as the can but none of them in Verizon store was able to turn it on.
And yes, they tried plugging it to the energy bank and to the wall outlet.

Hopefully by now you have a replacement.

Had a similar problem with my first maxx. After charging all night, unplugged phone and used it for 30 min. Picked it up, pressed power button and nothing. Plugged power cord to phone and moto icon would appear and disappear repeatedly. Plugged in moto factory cable from PC to phone and it booted up. Got a message saying phone would shut down in 10 sec. due to over heating. Either a bad battery causing problems or faulty circuitry.
Got a new phone overnighted.

[Q] Nexus 5 - Phone Will Not Turn On & No Response When Charging

I need your help guys!
I charged my Nexus overnight and in the morning wanted to put a new rom before going to work. I downloaded and flashed [ROM][Kernel][5.0.2][LRX22G] Lollipop Dream [Linaro][Build 10][20150106] ROM via TWRP and installed GAPPS.
I setup the phone with my google account and the phone began downloading previous app purchases. Last time I checked the phone on my way to work the phone was still downloading apps. However when I got to work (15 minutes later) I noticed the phone was powered off. I tried turning the phone on, or turning the phone to recovery but I got not response. Even when I plugged the phone in to the original charger I got no visual response that the phone was being charged.
What can I do to bring the phone back?
Appreciate your help.

Do you get red flashing light when you plug it in? I'm at this situation right now but on stock. Managed to boot the phone by disconnecting the battery and booting it on power supply (plug in battery when you see google) and when it boots up, the battery isn't charging at all.
Just got it into recovery and am wiping the data but been on there for 10 mins so far.

Hi Wolverine,
No I don't get the red flashing light when I plug it in....no visual response at all. I'll try removing the battery, but I found it difficult removing some of the screws (they were pretty tightly installed).

I had that happening yesterday, but I did manage to power it up by connecting the charger and booting with both volume buttons and power. After that it behaved like it should.
No battery charging - did you try to measure it with a multimeter? I'm curious if the charging circuit failed or the battery protection. Either way, good luck with your rma.
Oh btw, how old was your nexus?

How long did you have to connect the charger for?
I didn't try measuring with a multimeter. I purchased this phone about two months ago through a Canadian Carrier (Koodo) and not through Google.

Mine was a present last March so not sure if I can get an RMA from Google! Never dropped the phone, never tampered with it and suddenly it has just refused to charge. Replaced the battery and no difference.

SOLVED!!!!
Yes, so this morning what I did was hit on the back of the phone lightly while pressing the vol+- and power button and to my surprise it turned on. Immediately I restored the 4.4.4 Nexus ROM that was backed up. I think it was a loose battery but don't want to test that rom again.

I held the power button down for maybe a minute ( to trigger a hard power off) . With volume and power it went up in a couple of seconds.

blocked on black screen

Hello,
Ive tried to look for a similar situation in other thread but each case is different so i open a new one.
This morning, when i took my idol 3 the screen did not switch off when pressing power button. I thought it was battery but when i plugged charger,nothing happened except the led is on continuously. I kept power button pressed for 10 seconds. The phone vibrates shortly but still a black screen, no sound and no reaction from the touch panel. Power+vol+ did not led me to my twrp recovery. What can i do now to get it work again? The phone is rooted with Rom Eu 4.2 from murigny64 and it is the first time i encounter this issu. Thanks in advance for helping me

Tonight i disconnected the battery for about 30min then connect it again. Then i tried to start in recovery: Just a vibration but no display and no sound. I unplugged/plugged the battery again and try to start. Same problem. What the hell could happen? Maybe a deffective hardware

Insist on boot ( normal or in to recovery with vol + and power).
That is a hardware brick.
Happened to me to some times, insist, it will unbrick

Hopelessly i tried to restart several times before you post your message. But im gonna try again.
I charged the phone all the night but nothing better and the phone is not detected on pc so no adb action possible.
Maybe the battery is dead...

Can be, can be to... To bad if is battery.
But still trying to boot, is very difficult to.
.

thank you for advise but it's still not working. I spend about 30 minutes trying different combination of button: power pressed until it vibrate, power+vol up, power+vol down, power+vol up & down, discontinuous press of power with charger and no charger....and so on. Its a complete failure.
If it is the battery, there was no sign of weakness before (short life, random shutoff, ....) . It happen suddenly: I lock my screen before sleeping and the next morning no way to switch it on again.
I thought I would avoid problems for long with a twrp recovery, a backup and adb tools on my pc.....but for hardware issues its useless.

How can I be sure it is battery before purchasing another one ?

If it was the screen the touch panel would work and i could sense vibration when typing the pin code no?
The led bright continuously when i plug instead of flashing slowly as it used to do when charging. That why i think its battery.

...and when i start in recovery the phone is not detected on my pc

That's hardware brick. Don't give up, try to boot, normally or in recovery, keep trying it will boot.

Have you tried to open the phone and disconnect battery? Custom ROMs made me similar issue a few times.

Therefore the back can be dismantle and we can access battery and that s what i did.
Yes i disconnected it for several hours and pluged it again but it gave me the same result. And now it doesnt vibrate anymore when i keep the power button pressed a while.
I purchased a battery on internet and im waiting for delivery to test if im right or not. Il feedback about the test.
Anyway its nice from you to look for any solution. Thanks

I guess you did everything properly, so just one thing: at first time when I did this, I choosed the wrong cable (which didn't 'reset' the phone), so I hope you pulled both out.

I think i choose the good connection: This is the one over the battery with 6 wires: 2 red, 2 white and 1 black (see picture attached). I just left it with a small screwdriver to disconnect.

Yep, that's it

Hello,
I received the new battery today.
So i unpacked it, i unplugged the old one and plugged the new one ...and guess what happened......the same bevahiour as with the old battery: when i press the button power, it vibrate but it doesnt start neither in recovery nor in normal mode.
I just precise that the new battery is charged at 50%........:crying:
So the problem is not the battery but it was the only thing i could test by myself before sending the phone to alcatel for repair.
Im still wondering what could happen to my idol 3: It had been woking perfectly for months and one morning with no warning, it refuse to switch on. Ok sorry for annoying us and hope it wont happen with yours.
I hope alacatel will apply the guarantee although the phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked....because its a hardware issue i think.

Hello,
Just to conclude. The phone got back from repair after 10 days. They have changed motherboard, battery and also the back that was damaged. Its a brand new phone .

Battery drained, phone does not turn on.

Yeah, so the battery got drained, and now the phone will not respond to anything.
Pwr-btn + both volume-btn for ~20 sec did nothing. Will not take a charge from either PC or adapter.
I will be leaving it overnight in the charger.
:crying:
UPDATE
Contacted Nokia Support via webchat.
After some confusion, they suggested only;
Hold vol+ vol- & pwr buttons for ~20s
Hold pwr button for ~30s
If repeated tries does not turn the phone on, then contact local Nokia Care Shop

Put phone on charging. Then while it's on charging
Press VOLUME UP & POWER BUTTON till you feel a vibration and Android logo with 10-9-8-7 counting.
It'll open up in RECOVERY.

After having the phone lying on the desk for a few days, and now doing as you said, it finally vibrated.
After some time in the charger, it started taking charge. Never booted up like you said, but it still worked.

What happens if you hold the buttons like that? A hard reset? Or anything else?

It should go into Recovery, if you keep holding.

How long does it take to go into recovery mode ? I have been holding it for 5 mins now.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !

How long one has to hold the keys ? My Nokia 3 is not starting up. I had the same problem. Battery got drained & is not charging up. Tried all usual methods - different chargers, ports, cleaning USB on phone, vol button press + power button press. All in vain.

Try removing sim and sdcard. Then try again. Hold for several minutes.

I have the same problem . It's seem to relate to offical Android 7.1.1 .

Not to be skeptical or anything but how do you hold down the home button on a phone with soft keys when the phone is off?

I had a similar problem too, but I was too impatient to try the methods that required waiting for days. I voided my warranty by opening the phone, disconnecting the battery and reconnecting then closing back my phone. The battery started charging afterwards.
If you decide to go this route, i suggest you lookup information on nokia 3 disassembly so as not to mistakenly mess anything up

Well... I bought a nokia 3 today and after only 2 hours of use, wich included 2 software updates (from 7.0 to 7.1.1 and a november security patch) phone turned off, it was like 48% battery and sudenly it turned off.
After a couple of minutes I connected it to the charger and it's charging now, it says battery is 0% charged, so it went from 48% to 0% instantly. Appearently battery calibration is way off in this phone, just like the first generation of android phones when samsung and other brands didn't know how to make android work properly. I'm completely sure it's software related so hope they fix this in the next update soon.

Well ususally they recommend that you fully charge your phone after you first buy it (although i'm not sure how valid that instruction really is)

I usually do it, but I always turn it on first to check if it is working... and the battery was like 80% so i decided to use it fully before charging it...
EDIT: omg it took 4:30 hours to fully charge it, LOL

My A8 (2018) is not turning on or charging

Last night, I charge my phone because I notice that it was in 8% so plug it in to charge. An hour later, I check the phone if it was fully charge. I use my fingerprint to unlock but it is not recognizing it so I press the button to wake it but it is not waking up. I tried pressing for much longer to see if it wake or turn on but it is not. I tried pressing the Volume Down + Power to see if I can soft reset but that does not work as well. Plug it in the PC to see if it recognize it but it is not. I left it charging the whole night come morning when I woke and tried everything again but still won't turn on.
What could be causing this?

Try, press Power + Volume Up + Volume Down. You should enter in the Download mode. Press the Volum UP button. Now release the button. Now press Power + Volume Down and wait until the logo appears. The system should be boot.
