Juz tried juz now. Hold down power button for 15 second, then plug to my 2A output on my powerbank while continue holding down power button.

Then down there got red light blink. Then battery icon appear. After that able to turn on. Battery level at 77%. Weird. laugh.gif

That should be battery issue I think.
The jumpstart technique might work for now but you probably need to replace the battery.

WARNING: A bit off topic but...

I always looking forward for Google I/O. They always have something nice to show. After checking on the schedule they put online, this time... I am not sure.

By comparison, Microsoft (i just like to tease about them quite a bit) Build 2015 seem a lot more interesting!

Checkout the Continuum feature of Windows 10! It's like OS X Continuity but in steroid! Not only you can project your phone into a TV (with miracast), it will scale really well once it's on the TV. You also can use your Windows Phone as touchpad.

There are many other interesting stuff you may wanna check out here:

If Google do announce M release in I/O for sure there will be something interesting.

Project Ara isn't interesting enough for you?

Project volta totally cannot...

Hope something better at IO

Thing with Volta is app makers need to take advantage of the tools to make the app more battery friendly. I'm not seeing much of the writers using those tools.

Well.. A great battery drain for android phone is actually the google wake logs itself... Can't expect normal users to root expose greenify ... Need to make it easy to use for normal user, and friendly for hardcore user to mod

Most of the time it's the stinking Google Play Services itself.

Google please stop update N4 ald I no excuse to change phone d lol beside the battery life

I bought a new phone but still keeping my Nexus 4 because I prefer to have at lease 1 Nexus device with me.
Even after 2 years plus the hardware hold up fine. Performance wise it'll still good enough. I've seen many OEM's dropping support for devices less than a year old citing "unsupported hardware". While it's true that hardware manufacturer mainly SOC manufacturer like Qualcomm need to update the BSP OEM's can pressure them to help OEM to update older devices. I feel like like we have reached the point that hardware is slightly more advanced that software. Hence even 2-3 years old devices should be able to run latest OS reasonably well.
Apple has shown best software support with their own devices. It's high time that Android OEM's start following Apple's example in this department.

Yeah, till you mentioned that update to Apple latest NEW iOS "version" with "missing feature". iOS legacy user that using iPhone 4S or iPad 2 get what I mean. whistling.gif
No Siri, HDR, AirDrop, etc... And even slower to launch Apple own Apps.

Is like Google told you give you Lollipop but no Material Design and no ART. LOL
*
Yeah, I thought someone will point this out.
Some "missing feature" is unavoidable due to hardware compatibility & so on. At least by updating the OS the users will be able to use newer apps which is targeted towards newer version of iOS.

The comparison that you gave isn't a fair comparison. Siri, HDR & rest are part of the OS while stuff like ART is sore of Android. Material design is just skin. With fair resource it's possible to port it to Android 4.X.

Sure, there's no perfect OS maintenance but you have to give credit to Apple to trying to support 3 years old device while top tier OEMs like HTC drop a year old device.
