I had these exact symptoms today and your video helped me think about the issue. I was actually able to fix it by taking the phone out of its case and just pressing it up and down along the screen with my palms. My phone then was able to turn on normally and had 48% charge, which is about where it was before this issue happened. My guess is somehow the battery came dislodged but not fully disconnected.so it wouldn't charge or power the phone but was making enough contact to satisfy the battery detection sensor

I know this is a year old, but I'm having this problem and it's happened a while ago, fixed itself and now it's happening again. It'll stay on unplugged then turn off after a little while, even plugged in. It charges and works no problem but I have that issue of it turning on then shutting off immediately. Is there any other fix than the battery? I'm currently typing this from my phone since it hasn't turned off in about 10 minutes. Before that, it's been having this issue with different intervals of being on for about 5 hours.

Currently i have the Pixel 4 XL , In the first week of having it i managed to put a small crack in the top right hand corner of the screen. other then that the phone worked with no issues for 2 nearly 3 months..... Out for dinner one night and i notice my food is about to come to my table so i dropped the phone from my resting hand onto the table to accept my plate of food, it fell 1-2 inches at most . the screen went instantly black.... at first i thought the LCD had gone due to the crack in the top right and that my phone would vibrate but stay black if i held the power button down for long enough. No Emblem would show. always remained completely black. Could it potentially be the battery? even though i dont get an emblem with it plugged in ? my phone is currently at a Small phone repair shop should i ask if they have tried another battery?

@150daysofwinter 3 жыл бұрын

If you can feel the phone vibrate but see a black screen that leads me to believe the phone is working but the screen is not. However, after watching other pixel repair videos on YT, it might just be a loose connection of the screen cable to the motherboard. Otherwise yes (unfortunately) its new screen time.

Yeah, my Pixel4 XL (SECOND replacement, under warranty) is now dead. It would appear to boot up normally (Google logo, etc.) but then, instead of the wallpaper, and "Google is starting" or whatever message, it just blinks the numbers at the top left and right of the screen over and over. Reset (safe mode, vol up/dn plus power), same thing happens again. It was charging overnight on my nightstand (qi), as it always does. Woke up to a dead phone. Powered it on, it informed me that it cannot detect the battery voltage!? This is what started it, now it's in that weird boot loop. I'm assuming it's the batt, but either way, I'm going to just file another claim & I guess, get another one!?! I'm tempted to just get a battery & replace it myself, but there may be more to it (I've noticed very low volume output on the speakers, lately)...

@@Mouse2113 well, yes and no. Long story short, my phone never worked again. Long story I had ordered the battery, received it and opened my phone up to replace the battery. I then found out that the FPC connector on the motherboard itself wouldn't "bite" the battery. I looked closer only to realize that the connector itself was completely broken, where a battery couldn't be installed. To fix it, you had to do microsoldering which I can't do. So what I did was I took it into a store and they told me it was toast and that a new connector would need to be put on. They tried, and was unsuccessful. The pads on the board that connected the connector were also completely shot. I left and then found a microsoldering expert group and reached out to a shop. I shipped my phone to them and they had to order connectors and pads from China and when they received them in, they told me the same thing, even made a video and sent it to me showing the extensive damage. The pads on the board couldn't be replaced and the phone was unfixable. I lost everything on the phone.

The exclamation mark usually means the battery is faulty or not properly communicating with the phone's logic board properly.
