So out of the box, this was fine. But while downloading its update, it suddenly crapped out on me. I assumed it was battery life, so I set it up to charge. I came back a while later, and it was overheating. So I unplugged it.
I can get it to start to turn on for a brief second, but then it stops. So I plugged it back in to have it charge, and the battery charge icon keeps flashing, but I can't get it to boot up all the way. Any idea what's going on?
What was happening when you tried to charge it? Just nothing? The charging icon keeps flashing on mine, and it's getting really hot, but it's not turning on. sigh.
I'm having the same problem. I was using it and then it shut off while downloading the update. It never came back on. Google is sending a replacement. I'm so disappointed.
Mine I received and it was just plain dead.
Been it the charger hours, no sign of life at all.
They are sending me another ... disappointed as well.
wow, looks like I have same problem, just received, gear live was downloading and all over sudden stopped, I am not able to reboot anymore, reacts on nothing, disappointed since will be such a hassle living in the netherlands...
Did you buy it, or is from Google I/O? What was the current version of Android Wear, and update to which version? I am asking because I ordered mine a Gear Live and I am scared about these problems. I hope that is a problem with first devices and that I have not spent 220$ for nothing...

Gear live not charging
I'm having the same issue. I got a replacement watch but unfortunately same issue. I'm trying to give it back and I' switch for a LG R. Not the same design but I know it works

I got my Nexus 7 at I/O this year and I've been happily using it for nearly a month now. I don't know if my device differs in any way from one you can get form google play other than the white back.
Last night I was plugged into my wall charger at around 14% battery and playing SongPop with my girlfriend when my screen just shut off. It was like when you hold the power button on a laptop and BOOM, everything is black. It wouldn't turn back on so I unplugged it and plugged it back in. Got a charging screen so I let it set for a bit.
I came back maybe 15 minutes later and I was at 9% battery, which was odd given I plugged into the wall at 14%. I played with the phone for maybe 30s after boot and it happened again, I saw some weird artifacts on the black screen as it quickly shut off and the speakers played an awful crackly screeching noise. Plugged it in again, came back a bit later, still at 9% and played with the device again, same issue only after a little more time.
I'm currently at work with my N7 plugged into my Galaxy Tab 10.1 charger and charging it from 0 to 16% currently. The device is on but I haven't been touching it (and I don't plan to until it's at 100%).
Has anyone else had this issue?
I cant tell if it's some way I'm touching the device that's causing it to shut down hard, some issue with the battery or charging that is causing a rapid battery drop or even a short in the way I'm holding it when it's plugged into the charger?
I don't really want to deal with ASUS warranty returns already, though I have been unable to find anyone else with the same issue through google, so I turn to you for advice and similar stories.
Mine did the same thing the second day I had it. Now it won't boot. I'm waiting for Google to send me a new one.

Mine did something similar last night. It was at about 6% battery charge and all of a sudden the screen just went black. I went and plugged it in, but it wouldn't power on completely (the screen was on but there was nothing there). I started seeing really thin, small green lines running down the screen. I turned it off and on a couple of times, and finally it booted up. I left it plugged in for awhile, and I just took it out at work to use a bit and everything seems perfectly fine. I wonder if there are some firmware issues with the power management or something. I was all set to put in a return with Google, but it appears to be okay. I'll keep a close eye on it for the next couple of days (I've only had it for a week).

After leaving mine off and charging at work to 100% it seems to be working fine. I used it all last night with no issues. I haven't tried wiggling around the usb cable yet in the port to see if that caused any issues.
Firmware issues sounds about right, some sort of low battery safety feature or something? Who knows. I'll update this thread if I continue to experience problems. I'm already past my ability to return to Google so I'm in no rush to warranty to Asus and lose a development tablet.
Hi,
Two days ago, I got my first Samsung Gear Live. Ordered it directly from Google Play. When I wanted to start it by holding the button down a few seconds, it didn't react. I tried to charge it, but nothing seemed to happen: Nothing on the display, and the charger didn't get warm either, even after hours of charging (I tried multiple ones, and directly connecting it to USB on my PC). I thought that I was just out of luck and so I sent it back and got a replacement. Today, the replaced Gear Live arrived, and I have exactly the same problem. Not turning on, not charging, nothing. To find out if it was actually charging, I plugged it up to my lab power supply and found it drew ~330mA for a second, then stopped drawing anything at all. Sometimes it would decide to draw something again after 10 or 20 seconds, and sometimes it does so when I hit/hold the power button, but it will always stop shortly afterwards, and nothing else seems to happen.
Now, I have already called the support, and will hopefully get a third replacement soon. Just wanted to post this here to ask if anybody has experienced something like that. I can't believe I got two totally dead ones in a row. I'm still thinking I might have done something wrong, but... I mean, it's a smartwatch with a single button and a charging clip, what could possibly go wrong?
I feel for you, I got a dead on arrival and had it shipped to New Zealand at my own expense and back again, worth it for android wear though.
I'm living the same! I just got the second and the watch won't charge or turn on!
---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------
I think I begin to understand. Watches in stock inventories are discharged and can not take their loads!
Just got my THIRD watch, and surprise: Doesn't work either. Exactly the same problem. Won't turn on, won't charge. This time I will try to let it charge over night, maybe the battery decides to randomly start loading after hours, for whatever reason. I don't have much hope though.
Otherwise, I'll send it in and get my money back. I suppose I'll have to look out for other smartwatch models that I like then. It's just a shame, because I really like the design of the Gear Live.
Same here. I have 2 pcs of Gear Live and both aren't working
Same problem here. I just received my third Gear Live from Google play. Doesn't work...
Charged it overnight, still nothing, so I'll send it back again.
Just got my THIRD watch too, and guess what?: Doesn't work either. Exactly the same problem. Won't turn on, won't charge. so I ask to the support of google play to find a solution!
My 3rd is DOA. My first 2 worked though.
Here is what NOT to do with a smart watch that I can do with my citizen echo drive (took 3 years to break that but covered under the 5 year warranty).
Go shooting with it. I think I blew out the microphone because it stopped responding to voice commands.
Run a saws all. We have been building a deck and after a weekend of cutting wood, it stopped counting my steps.
I hope watch # 4 is good! I promise to be more gentle with it
I'm waiting on my third RMA from Google. The other two were dead on arrival also. If the third one is DOA too, I may just ask for a refund or possibly getting the Asus Zen watch instead.
My 4th is DOA. I'm trying to decide if I just want a refund or if I should try the ifixit route.
Same here: 2 consecutive DOAs
I had a watch with a broken charging clip and got a replacement. Guess what: DOA! So I send it back and got a second replacemente: Again DOA. So I was offered a refund.
It's irritating how many DOAs the have. Maybe the lion bats in the watches discharge to death and cannot be revived.
Hey My 4th is DOA again \o/ L'ets try a other one !
Got my second replacement to Germany via Google Play. Both of them DOA. I'm nearly sure, that the third Watch also would be DOA. Maybe I'm gonna make a uncut Movie like makakiel from the unboxing of the third replacement ...
I got my Gear Live from Google Japan and it worked OK for about 3 months. I usually turn it off in the evening and give it an overnight charge. Then a couple of weeks ago, it would not power up in the morning. I change to another charging station and after several hours, it was still dead. So, I RMA to Japan and got a replacement; my heart dropped when it was DOA. Am now arranging for a second RMA and if this again arrives DOA, then I will ask for a refund (but not sure whether this is easy enough to obtain in Japan).
I think Samsung has a big problem in their hands. Judging from what I have read, this power-up failure problem seems widespread. Is Google/Samsung doing anything about this?
I send the vidéo to google! and they don't really care ! ....

I sent my DOA Gear Live back to Google PlayStore Japan for a (yet another!) RMA replacement, but has been informed that they are out-of-stock and I have to wait for replenishments to arrive. I guess the Samsung Gear Live is at the end of its production cycle - a short one indeed!
same here, possible solution

I plugged in the watch for a few minutes, then pressed the button. It will show the battery and that it was charging and then it would go away. It looks like it was way too drained. I would unplug and plug it back in and I will do the same and then it would turn off again. Eventually I just left it for a longer time and when I press the button multiple times it loaded. I was able to do the setup and then it went from 40 percent to life 3%.knowing that it have worked it before this time I let it charge for a few hours. when I got home I turned it on and it worked. The first day it only last me 10 hours. I read lithium batteries reach their full potential after two to three charges. are you at least getting the battery icon or charging icon on the screen?. basically plug in for a few minutes like around 3 minutes and then press the button a few times and see if anything shows up so at least you know it's not totally dead
Hi all,
My Nexus 6 GPE has been powering off after about 2 hours or so being disconnected from the charger every morning. The phone has 70% of power (going off of this last time it has happened, usually it is around 50/60%) and it goes into battery saver mode and says it is powering down. When I try and restart. sometimes it goes and instantly shuts down, other times it shows the battery is completely dead (ie the empty phone icon), with this last time I was able to get into recovery and stay on and the bootloader and in recovery it says I have 60% battery left.
This all started when I flashed the latest software (LMY47E) and the latest bootloader/radios. I used Nexus Toolkit to Factory Restore it and it is still doing the same thing, sometimes it doesn't even give warning before shutting off. Has anyone come across this before? Do you think it is software or hardware related?
Thanks for your help
Did you try this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/dying-17-battery-t3062050
I did try that, it seemed to work but then turned off again. I did it about 3 more times, so far it hasn't shut off again, it was around 52% when I did it last and it came back up as 27% so I am hopeful that worked.
Has anyone else experienced issues because Qi charging? I have almost exclusively always charged this with a Qi Wireless Charger.
I have been having the same issue. Just did the "fix" from the other thread and before reboot it read 98%, after boot it says 77%. Crossing fingers.
UPDATE:
Nope, didn't work. After it went to 50%, it shut down and won't start on it's own unless it is plugged in. I'm back to step one.

That sucks. It seemed to work for me. Phone drained to 5% and automatically shut down. Charged it to full without booting, so if it still behaves, it fixed me.

Dacian like i just wrote in the other thread:
The "fix" i posted plus no more charging with Qi chargers worked for me.
I tried that, didn't use Qi charging to get it back to 100% and it still shut off. Can you use Qi charging again? I didn't spend $700 on my Nexus 6 so I couldn't use all of the features. I own 4 Qi chargers so that I didn't have to plug in my phone at all unless I was doing something through ADB.

No more Qi charging since I tried the mentioned workaround and no more problems with my N6 shutting down too early.
But I agree: not a solution if you use Qi stations a lot.
I think I'll just warranty it and if there comes a time where this starts happening again, hopefully there'll be a fix from google for it or something. Thank you for your help.
You're welcome. Good luck and keep us posted!
my phone was doing the same exact thing...first started off shutdown at 20 then 40 now 70! phoned motorola for a replacement : "sorry we cannot send replacements but we can fix it"...WTF?!?! a phone like this?! why the F would i want a repared faulty phone?!? Motorola never again never...
I have the same problem (now shutting down at 65%), i already call google for replacement but untill now i never had confirmation
I have the same problem. Nexus 6 shuts down. Displays blank white battery. Cannot be turned on without plugging into power source. Upon powering up it shows plenty of power.
Possible helpful info:
1. Recently manually updated to 5.1
2. Recently started using Qi charging
I did not notice a problem until both of those -- of the two my suspicion is the wireless charging but it's a total guess
I've tried all the suggested fixes and none worked.
Wierdest thing happened tonight. I was talking on my phone and the damn thing shut down and wont turn back on. I had about 30% battery left on it. I tried charging it with several chargers and nothing, no charge light, nothing. Anyone ever hear of this happening? Im currently s off'ed, running the latest badboyz sense 6 rom.
Update.... Got it working somehow. I left it on the charger for a few hours, I picked it up to mess with it and the charging light was blinking. I screwed around with it a few more times and got it to start charging. I have absolutely no idea why it did that. Hopefully it doesn't happen again before I trade it in, I don't feel like dealing with the nightmare of getting a replacement.
Its a battery going bad, most likely, they take no time to put a new one in.

I've had it happen to me twice, it's a bug with the phone. Each time, there was somewhere between 20% and 35% battery, then it just turned off, no warning. If it happens again, just let it charge some. :good:
Hey XDA,
I recently won a Galaxy Tab S2 through work. Unfortunately every time I charge the device the screen becomes unresponsive to touch. The first time this happened I had charged it for 4 hours, and it was fine, so I took it off at a full charge. I then left, turned on and updating, over night upstairs on my coffee table. When I went to use it in the morning, it was unresponsive.
I took it to work, where I have a USB to Micro USB adapter and was able to factory reset it. It worked fine after that, so same thing, updated it at work, took it home, and it being nearly dead, charged it over night. First thing in the morning, Unresponsive. This happened two more times. Finally I got in touch with the people who I won the tablet from, and got it replaced.
I picked up the new tablet today around 6:30 PM. Downloaded a bunch of apps that I wanted, got it set up how I like, and put it on the charger. In the time it took to charge from 5% to 30%, the new tablet has also become completely unresponsive.
While chatting with Samsung via Live Chat (big waste of time) I plugged the original Tablet in, as it had been sitting dead on my dresser while I waited for the replacement, and for about 20 seconds it worked, before once again becoming un-responsive.
I've used the chargers that came in the box, a Galaxy S6 charger, and LG G4 charger, and an HTC M9 charger and the issue occurs with them all. I've charged them via wall sockets, power bars, and my computer and it still happens.
Having this happen once happens, I understand as I work with Cellphones and tablets for a living, but two in a row I can't help but feel like I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone suggest anything at all before I try once again to get it replaced?
Thanks in advance for your guys time and consideration.
do you have any apps auto installing from your google account?

No, I turned that all off when I booted up. But I did go and get everything I wanted downloading, plus updating all the default apps. But even after all of that is done, it still doesn't work.
actually, i was going to recommend the opposite: remove any sd cards or sim cards, reset to stock, then either don't log in to *any* account, or if it won't let you, create a *fresh*, totally blank, google account and use that. don't install anything, don't update anything, not even the os.
then try to replicate the problem.
It might be something your installing that's destroying your tablet...
Try to reset to default and just use it like that for awhile... then add one program at a time until you find the culprit. I can assure you this is a great tablet and your issues aren't indicative of the product.

Try a different usb cable. Just in case it matters.
