Yesterday I was out of town for work and was using my phone a lot. I had a new battery in it and it had drained to about 15-20% by time I got back to my car to charge it. I cut it on and the red exclamation came up on the battery then went into a reboot, though it never came back on. It would not recognize the car charger.

I had this happen to me a few weeks ago when I got it as a replacement for a broken phone. Again with a new battery. I called to get the replacement but as a last ditch effort, I plugged in the broken phone and it booted right up and was running perfectly since (which was about four days since I had last tried to boot it. I am rooted and running the 8-12 or 8-13 bugless beast.

I have tried all the tricks submitted in the forums: taking out battery and sim, holding button while plugged into usb as well as wall charger, none of them seem to work. I left the battery out last night. When I plug the phone into the computer, it makes the connected usb device sound and immediately plays the disconnected over and over until it is unplugged. It keeps flashing a new device as the chip of OMAP 4460 (or whatever the number is).

Any other suggestions?

My first Nexus did this and I got a replacement. When my second one did it I found the suggestion of taking out the sim and battery, holding down the power and volume, then putting them both back in and it mysteriously worked then.

What jamontoast1291 said. I can't believe that worked. I was freaking out!!! Dropped my phone from a countertop and it wouldn't boot back up. no charging light, no response, no anything. Found this post, and it worked!!!

Thanks a million times.

-1st things first learn how to use spell check. If English is your second language then keep practicing if it's your first language please take a refresher course in English 101 :p

-2nd thing have you tried taking the battery out for atleast 10 minutes? Make sure the battery is charged that your using if you have a bad charging port on your phone the battery will not charge. Another thing I have heard is after the battery/sim has been taken out is to hold down the power button and volume down button for atleast 30 seconds to release the residual charge in the phones capictors.;)
heres a link to Androidforums for a similiar issue check it out http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/558561-woke-up-morning-my-galaxy-nexus-wont-turn.html
