Nexus 7 2013 shuts down itself randomly?

[preppystud]

i charged it last night, and let it stand by. when i woke up, i want to use it. for unknown reason, it shuts itself down automatically.

and i tried to press the power button several times, nothing happened. i had to keep pressing on it for about 1 min or longer, then it powered itself again.

does that happen to other people, too?

No, take it back for a replacement.

My first 16GB did that. Hell, it would shut off every time I took a picture. I took it back. And got a 32GB.

i have been using it for about a month, it has happened maybe 3 times or so.

should i be worried about it? it is so random. sometimes i wonder maybe i did something wrong myself.

but one thing is clear. for the last two times when it shuts down, i had to press the power button for a long time before it turns on again.

so should i contact google now?

IMHO, yes, you should tell Google.
I returned mine because I saw the same behavior...random "why the heck did it run itself out of power?" occurrences as well as random reboots. Not multiple times a day be a 1-2 times a week. Still haven't bought a replacement. It'd help if you list when you bought yours and the build date from the serial#.

Welcome to the forums!

the back portion heats up

It shouldn't do that on a continuous basis - if you're running a graphics intensive game, or using the GPS and a navigation app and have it connected to a charger then it will likely get hot, but if you're just surfing the web or reading Ebooks it should stay cool. What does your usage more closely resemble?

Mine has started doing this. It did it yesterday and today. It switched itself off in my bag. The only way I could get it to come back on was to plug it into the charger and leave it for a few minutes. The battery was nowhere dead as it had about 60 % charge left on both occasions. I'm just going to take it back. I'm not even going to bother with an exchange. This shouldn't be happening.
