Leave it plugged in for a couple of hours.  It'll come back.  Don't rush it. For some reason, it needs to get a strong charge before it comes alive again.  YMMV.

Subject: [Ubuntu-phone] Nexus 4 dead battery

Last night I accidentally let my Nexus 4 battery die. I've had it plugged in with its original charger all day and also tried a few others but cannot get it to come back on. Mostly the red light is blinking but sometimes it is completely blank or the charging battery icon shows on the screen. Occasionally the screen shows the Google logo followed by the Ubuntu circle but then the screen goes blank again.

I've read here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes that in rare circumstances on a Nexus 4 it is necessary to unplug and replug battery connector to get it to boot after a drained battery.

Does anyone have experience with this? Should I open the phone and unplug the battery? What else can I try?

I should mention, although likely completely unrelated, that yesterday before the phone died the clock oddly jumped an hour ahead for a couple of hours before going back to the correct time.

Thanks for your insights
