My 1 week old Nexus 4 won't turn on

[JoeyTee]

Here's how one solved it (from the xda thread):

this happened to my phone today while running antutu and using franco kernel. can't get it to boot back up either.

EDIT: fixed it by using the method of holding power up and on for 60 seconds, while off charger, then plugging it back into charger and turning it back on.

Signed up just to say you're an absolute legend. My phone was totally dead this morning, tried plenty of other solutions I found on forums and nothing would work.

Followed your instructions and my phone just sprung back to life on the first attempt. Thanks so much!

Just wanted to say thanks, I have had my nexus 4 since it was released years ago and this just happened today. I have a nexus 5 and use the 4 as my work phone. It was fairly charged but I threw it on the charger last night and I guess it charge too much and the phone went into some emergency shutdown. Anyway this worked so thanks!!!!!

They REALLY need to fix this issue. My wife's Nexus 4 shuts off randomly sometimes a few times a day. Ridiculous. None of the supposed fixes work.

Once you get the battery symbol hold just the power button until your phone turns on, about 15secs.

My has been doing this for months - and they just keep sending out for repairs, how did you get them to replace it?
