| Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | NexusSJellyBeanProblem | 8/5/12 10:27 PM | Hi, I have a Nexus S already updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.1. In the last couple of days, the phone just suddenly died without any notification. Now it died and won't power on anymore.I would really appreciate if anybody can help me with this. Thanks!!! |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | nexusvan | 8/6/12 3:14 AM | WTF? Same phone, same OS, same MO - it stopped showing the "charging" icon when it was plugged in, even though it really was charging at first. Also, plugging in the microusb made it power on, and the power on button didn't work when it was plugged i |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | Paul | 8/6/12 3:30 PM | Perhaps your phone ran completely out of power and hasn't charged up enough yet? Try leaving it plugged in for 2 or 3 hours and then turning it on. If that doesn't resolve the issue you may need to send it in for repair. |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | nexusvan | 8/7/12 8:16 PM | Paul, I'm not sure of your specifics, but you seem to be affiliated with Google - surely you're aware that reports of Jelly Bean upgrades causing Nexus S chaos are widespread, and so it's unlikely that people wouldn't have enough common sense to char |

| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | mlbruler | 8/8/12 12:57 PM | Any idea of what the button-press combinations were? That would really help, thanks. |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | nexusvan | 8/8/12 1:27 PM | Well, I know what they were, I just don't know which ones actually worked - there are only 3 buttons on the phone (if you count volume up and down separately) and I pressed them all many times in every conceivable combination. Here, I'll give more de |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | nexusvan | 8/8/12 1:32 PM | OH, I also would have plugged it in and unplugged it many times over, and this might have had some effect, since it was earlier making the off phone power on. I'd throw that in the mix too. Be persistent! |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | mlbruler | 8/8/12 1:33 PM | Ok, thanks. It's my brother's old one, he just bought a new Nexus so if I get it to work its mine :) |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | hugocarlos | 8/23/12 10:41 PM | Thank you very much for the help. I can't be sure if the holding button combos were the solution or not but my Nexus S is alive once again! Have a good one! |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | AirborneOctopi | 8/31/12 3:08 PM | I have the same problem. My Nexus S lasted only a couple days with Jelly Bean and then seemed to overheat or something. It crashed and I haven't been able to power it on since. I've tried multiple batteries and multiple charging cables to eliminat |

| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | PAdelind | 10/23/12 3:58 PM | Same here too. My phone went dead when I took a photo after I got OTA JB 4.1.2 on my Nexus S. I've tried different batteries as well and also the tips #nexusvan gave us at the beginning of this discussion. Unfortunately all with no luck. Could it be |

| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | Jake-Summers | 10/26/12 5:50 AM | Same issue with mine. Jelly Bean OS install, battery died, now the phone will not power on |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | mrgerry2 | 10/30/12 1:57 PM | Same here as well. Contacted Samsung but they were no use whatsoever. |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | Gavinv | 10/31/12 8:59 AM | Seriously Google, Samsung?? This is a Nexus device. This is a consistent problem across many users. Look into it and fix it! |

| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | MeliseL | 11/2/12 1:30 PM | Same here. I've had issues since last update in may, charging would show, and battery charge would drop increasingly fast.Now I've upgraded to Jelly Bean yesterday, hoping it would solve the issue, but the phone has just been refusing to charge sinc |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | mrgerry2 | 11/2/12 2:39 PM | Mine is completely dead so there may be some hope for your phone |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | MeliseL | 11/2/12 2:51 PM | It died completely about twenty minutes after I posted that actually !BUT, my friend suggested something and it worked for me !! Maybe it'll work for you as well !It's ridiculously simple but hey, you never know! 1. Unplug the phone from wall/comput |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | SashaGele | 11/2/12 9:03 PM | Nothing works. I tried everything I could. It looks like it got bricked. I called Samsung and they said they would charge me $70 to fix a "normal" problem but if it's something bigger they would charge more.I'm taking it tomorrow to the cell repair c |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | rawdmon | 12/3/12 7:45 PM | My Nexus S just did this too and was running Jellybean for like 4 or 5 weeks (upgraded from gingerbread). Completely dead in the water and everything I've tried doesn't work. Pretty disappointing. |
| Re: Nexus S With Jelly Bean, Sleep of Death and Won't power on | PAdelind | 12/4/12 9:59 AM | After some research I found a video on youtube showing how to fix a "hard bricked phone". Problem is they don't show you any details so if you want your beloved phone back you'll have to send it in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecp8jKmm48k www.Mo |
