My phone has been going insane for the last two days. It will think that it is charging when it isn't plugged in. Sometimes it will cycle between not charging and charging at a rapid rate, causing the screen to turn on and stay on (the screen will normally turn on when plugged in). I've tried various resets, battery pulls, etc. This is not a rooted device. If I pull the battery and then reboot the phone, the battery will be 10-15% lower than when I pulled the battery only a minute earlier. Anyone experience this?
This has been happening to a lot of people. It is indeed a hardware problem. There is a way to fix it, what u need to do it reposition the USB female receiving jack ever so slightly.
1) turn the phone off and take the battery out
2) take a toothpick, knife , pin or whatever will fit into the micro USB slot of the galaxy nexus.
3) VERY VERY slowly make it so that the little shelf like connector is in the middle.
4) connect ur phone and it will work like new. This works for a lot of people. I did this a few hours ago and my phone now charges perfect
RECOMENDATION : when it starts to charge you should restore a stock image and lock the boot loader so that you can get a new phone replaced . This is a way to fix it but this hardware issue shouldve never happened in the first place and it should warrant a return. Let me know what happens!

Agreed.
However, I've detailed re-locking and returning to stock via my guide with a broken USB port if it ever gets to that point for you/anyone.

I don't think "doing this a few hours ago" is really a long enough time to say it works perfectly. The same thing happened to my phone and I have seen several people claim this solution fixes the problem. I tried it and it fixed it for about two days but then it came back, and it won't go away now regardless of what I do with the charging port. I am starting to believe there is no solution but to buy a new phone
New glitch spotted when phone is of and in the charger it wil chrage for like 2 seconds and then the animation saays the phone is full!but 2seconda later its charging again so on and so on... sort of chargingloop..

Same problem here..But I found out the solution after irritation of 3 weeks one day i dropped my nexus and after that instance it is working perfectly fine without any charging.
Its been 4 Weeks without any problem.
Please try at your risk.
i had the same exact issue try wiping dalvik ,battery stats and cache under recovery, fixed all issued...i think this was caused after using the fast ac charge on francos kernal.
i found a solution.
I had the same problem. at the the begining it didn´t charge. i made hard reset and nothing. i ordered a new battery and nothing. Then i see something different in tee microusb port when i compared it with an xperia x10 port. I realise that the tiny plate inside the port was bended. then with a needle i straighten it, and the charge bolt icon returns to life. But after that some times it comes up without charging conection. Then i found some blog post that said that the "Dock Connector Charging Port Flex Cable Ribbon For Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250" was the problem. I found a guide to disassemble an change that micro usb port, it is really easy, i made in 30 minutes, even been the first time. I bought the replacement part in ebay (ebay.com/itm/-/130656140500?item=130656140500&viewitem=&ViewItem) but after that i found many web stores with it an cheaper prices.

Sorry, I have been having the same issues with my gnex, after it hits full charge the charging indicator will flash on and off on my screen until I reach 90% on my battery then it will quit the rest of the day.. always does it after hitting full charge so please read what I've done and still have the same problem...... I have used multiple batteries, same problem, I've used different chargers, same problem, I even bought that part off ebay and replaced the charge port inside of the phone, same problem.. and I even tried all of this before receiving the jelly bean update, and even after the update I still have the same charging error issue... does anyone know of any other solutions? I've done them all I think.
I had a very similar issue (the phone would charge ONLY if turned off, computer would not recognize the USB device 90% of the time).
Turns off that fuzz and dandruff had accumulated at the bottom of the USB port (you couldn't see it) so i took a needle and carefully pried it out, it was a nice sized ball of stuff that was preventing the USB port from making clean contact with the cable.
Hope that helps

I am stuck in the same boat as you. I have tried almost everything but it seems that this issue keeps persisting. I don't have warranty so it isn't like I can give it in for replacement. I don't know what else is there to do
I'm going insane reading these.
Google is your best friend in the whole world. Your best friend. If you're out of warranty, the best you can do is use a pogo dock, or replace, like take apart your GalNex and replace the port with a part bought from eBay.
Or, if you look at some of the other 99 threads about this, some people fixed theirs by adjusting the port with a screwdriver or something like that. Can't say I recommend that though.

I don't think there is a problem with USB port. I can charge my phone via the USB connection from my laptop, but the same is not possible when I use he same charger with wall unit charging. Also If I reboot my phone then I can even charge it via the wall unit.
It seems something to do with some app or battery temp.....

My gnex is not charging..i plug in and the battery symbol doesnt show charging..when i check battery in settings it shows not charging instead of discharging.
Another thing is that if i switch it off and plug in the white charging symbol occurs but after an hour when i switch on the battery is at the same percentage..
pls help :'(
Ive had those same issues..I went to charge it on my car charger and it instantly began working. The very next day I tried my hone charger again and it would work..Crazy thing is when the home charger wasn't working for my GNEX, it would charge my girlfriends phone just fine!!

Have had a charging issue as well, and solved it.
Hey there,
my SGN was not charging at all not even when turned off, started two days ago, the first evening it was only charging on one out of my three USB cables (each cable has its own wall charger).
Also my PC with "Win 8 Pro" was not recognizing my phone at all.
My first try was a bit stupid, but it worked, well for one day only. I bite on the USB cable, so the part that goes in the phone was a bit deformed, and the SGN was charging again. \o/
Next evening, I had the same problem again, but this time, non of my three cables was able to charge, even after further deforming tries.
My final solution was to use a needle, stick it in the USB port on the phone and bend the small "tongue" a bit up, so it was exactly in the middle.
My Phone was off and the battery removed. I put all together again and plugged the USB cable back in, it started charging while off.
Then I just turned it on, after booting was almost done, my PC told me that my SGN is connected and it was still charging.
I removed the cable, plugged it back in, several times, also on all three charger with its cables, finally my problem seems to be resolved.
btw. My SGN is from November 2011, so one of the first here in Europe.
I hope this can help some other with the same problem.

I had the same problem, GNex quit charging. Fixed it by using a toothpick to gently move the "tongue" in the USB port up towards the LED (screen side). I used a wooden toothpick as I didn't know what would happen if the connectors shorted using something metal.
Apparently, moving the USB plug around when it is in the port can move things out of alignment. Very easy fix, takes less than one minute. You could use a plastic pen cap or whatever you have lying around as a tool.
If you are under warranty, you could always ask for a replacement.
I had this problem a while back, first only some chargers would work and finally none of my chargers worked. In my case it seems like the problem was pocket lint tightly packed at the back of the usb port. The lint was grey and so tightly packed that I couldn't see any thing wrong. I used a fine tooth pick and got a good size wad out and the charging problem was solved. I always thought that the lint prevented the usb cable to be fully seated but maybe I bent the "lip" while trying to get the lint out

Well, I've left my phone on charge with the adapter charger and it was recharged. Now it seems to work also through usb
I got a new Gnex today because of this same issue. It would randomly not charge no matter what charger is was using. What's weird though is I never had an issue transferring files to my Mac and vice versa.

Thought that was lint but in my case even removing the lint it wont charge CORRECTLY -- with the original charger (it was uncharging after some movement).
Then I realize that forcing the usb plug to go more inside the USB port it works. What I did: Removed the black protection because it block the plug to go more inside the phone port. It's now metalic (lol) but not a problem of charging anymore.
I'd buy some heat shrink tubing for that before you cause a fire .

Sometimes it happens to me when battery's charged at 98-99%. Don't know the reason, and what I can do is to remove cable, reconnect it

Unfortunately, all that really does is shorten the battery's life. There is no benefit to forcing it to that feel good display of 100%.

Here's my full experience with my Galaxy Nexus charging problem --
I bought this one eBay, came with 4.1.2. Didn't even test charging before I updated it to stock 4.2.2 and rooted it, so I'm not sure if the problem developed after my software update, or if it always had that problem. The eBayer said he didn't know anything about it. I'm on stock rooted 4.3 now, and the problem persists.
The phone has never charged on any of the several AC adapters I've tried. These have been between 250ma and 1A, and they wouldn't work whether the phone was on or off. It would consistently charge when connected to my desktop computer, but that all changed a few weeks ago when I changed out my computer's power supply. Now, the only one trick I've found is to turn on WiFi, BT, GPS, and put the screen at 100% brightness, then plug connect my computer's USB cable, and it will go into charging mode about 35-50% of the time. This works OK, but one extra annoying bit is that when the battery reaches 100%, it stops charging, and won't start again until I do my little trick and replug the USB.
I tried replacing the USB port, but that didn't fix anything. As far as I can tell, that's the only part that can be easily replaced by a normal person. I'm basically managing this by swapping in batteries charged by an external charger.
Got major issue all of sudden and phone won't start anymore
I have been tweaking with my phone customizing it for like one year and didn't had any problem. I flashed with KitKat gummy ROM and then reverted back to 4.3 stock jellybean using ROM manager installed previous saved 4.3 stock rooted ROM.
Further installed clean master and did some advanced cleaning of cache files. WELL after reverting back I started witnessing some major flaws with battery charging status earlier with KitKat I wasn't using any battery saver app but after reverting back to 4.3 I installed DU battery saver and it would like take ages to charge my battery like 7-8 hrs but I wasn't paying much attention to this. I did some advanced cleaning with clean master, but anyways that won't clean any system files that would hinder the functionality of phone right?Problem started cropping up as I detached my power cable without switching off the supply ( even though I had done this previously many times before) , phone flickered/froze and switched off and won't start without external power supply even though i had 57% battery charge that too showed random status, sometimes 0% and sometimes 50+ %. This went looping for sometime then like it won't switch on even with power supply, just showing for a sec the battery symbol with bolt sign when the charging cable is inserted and going blank within 5 sec . It would show the battery icon sometimes and sometimes no sign just plain blank..
Well I tried different ways as suggested like pushing the small tongue inside USB to middle or attaching to laptop w/o battery and putting back n starting but all in vain, no response.
I am not sure any major fault has cropped in the charging circuit or is the phone bricked? Battery dead?
Guys do give some suggestions.. I have been charging using diff usb cables, no response but just that battery symbol for 5sec n going blank..even though i have been charging the phone is getting heated..but does that imply anything?
do provide some insights guys
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the awesome solution. It worked for me before a week. I faced the same problem and now this trick is not working for me ;(. Please help me out.
Please help!!
So, for the last couple weeks charging my Note 2 has been extremely hit or miss. It either connects and starts charging, or it doesn't at all. Sometimes, I can plug it in and leave it over night and find it didn't charge at all. Sometimes, as I am trying all sort of different chargers/options, I eventually give up and several hours later I see the screen pop to life and show a charge coming in. I have tried:
4 different cables
3 different AC chargers
2 different computers (multiple USB ports on each)
my car's USB
Seem to have no effect on whether or not it will charge, which makes me believe the issue is either the phones USB port or the battery itself.
Behavior when plugged varies, sometimes:
Completely dead - no response at all
Empty battery icon (with circle in middle) shows on screen, then goes black - never progresses to the battery charging icon (no circle in middle, green showing progress)
Works, progresses to green battery icon.
I'm currently in the first option - completely dead. Whenever I get to the 3rd one, I let it charge a bit then turn the phone on and let it continue charging. At this point it will generally work for a while but whenever I unplug the phone there is no guarantee it will work again, even right after.
Has anyone experienced this? Any experts have an idea I can try?

With this, I can at least charge the batteries outside of the phone, even if the USB port won't work. If necessary, I would need this to revert to stock before sending in to Samsung.
I had the one where you plug in and nothing, all I did was a battery pull and it worked, no issues since

It sounds to me like you have a broken micro usb port. I went thru this with my note 1. The plastic sleeve on your phone port that the pins sit in is fragile.in my case I discovered I had snapped a pin in half prevent charging, reading the phone via micro usb..I would get a intermittent connection then after a while nothing. you can try to see what happens if plug in a USB and wiggle it in all directions to try and establish contact..in any case your best bet is to go find a universal battery charger..particularly one that charges the battery itself without the phone. (it basically sits inside of a cradle and charges) the pins can be adjusted to make contact on your +,- on your battery. After a charge try it out. they have cheap ones a radio shack that do the job. Its a hassle, but on the bright side is your phone will work. Plus deep cycle charging will make for a healthier battery . hope this helps

Are you using a case on your device? If so, does it in any way encroach on the USB port?
If you are using a case try taking it off and plugging in with the stock charger and cable.
Couldn't hurt, and if the case blocks the port in any way it may be the solution.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Thanks for the replies everyone, and yes I ordered the battery kit from Amazon, so I should be up and running. At least to revert to stock before sending it to Samsung. But still I would like to find a permanent solution for this if possible.

Yes, this sounds like my problem. Battery pull fixed it for me originally too, but over time it got worse and the problem happened more frequently.
Haven't been able to get it to take a charge all day.
Thought I would update on this weird issue...
I received the Anker batteries/external charger and got the phone working again. Tested charging directly with the phone and new batteries now that it was back alive. No dice. Tested it on and off over the next couple days and still could not get it to charge. So I decided I needed to send it in for warranty replacement, but life got in the way and I continued my cycle of swapping out batteries. This is actually a really nice solution! I like having a couple fully charged batteries ready to go at all times.
Anyway, yesterday I finally had some time and was going to contact Samsung. I was sitting at my desk and decided to try charging one more time. Plugged in the microUSB cable and... IT WORKED! I have no idea why it would randomly start working again, but it has worked for the last 24 hours every time I plug it in.
So now I can't really send it in for service if they can't duplicate the problem. I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope it doesn't happen again...

Wondering if this ever started back up, or if your phone just kept on working. As my phone has stopped all together charging and needed to find a fix for this. Wondering if just replacing the usb charging port in the phone would fix this up. Has someone has done this already to fix this problem. I'm torn between using an external charger and wait for the part to come in from ebay for 12 bucks or just send it in for service and be without a phone for 3-6 weeks.

I'm torn between using an external charger and wait for the part to come in from ebay for 12 bucks or just send it in for service and be without a phone for 3-6 weeks.

If you send it in to get it fixed I'll be interested to hear the result (and the price...!)
I've been using an external charger for a couple of weeks now. It's a bit of a pain, but you quickly get used to it.
I'm holding out for the announcement of the Note 3 and hoping that arrives sometime before Christmas!
Well it was the USB port on the phone sent it away already got it back. Telus my provider warranty'd the phone. Did get a quote to fix at a cell shop 70 buckaroo's. Personally just buy it online at ebay for 10 bucks and do it yourself not that hard. Just didn't want to wait for the part to ship and get here
Do you know the process to it... by the looks of it, it seems attached to the motherboard or is it something I can easily do thanks in advance...
Edit...
Sorry wrong thread I meant for the s3 usb port

Hey guys,
I just upgraded to a Note II from a Captivate. I've had it for about month completely stock, in the last I'd say 3 days I've been having this really frustrating problem. Whenever I go to charge the phone, it will charge for only a second or two and stop. Sometimes it will go back and from charge, stop, charge stop. But also when this happens the phone freezes up. If I have low battery, every time it stops charging that window pops up stating low battery, but I can never close the window because the phone is frozen. The back and menu haptic buttons will not work as well, the only option is to use the physical home key. I have to restart it several times to get it to charge, and make sure the screen turns off since sometimes it won't.
Has anyone else had any trouble like this? Any advice would be great. Thank you!
Factory reset
This sounds like a physical defect to me, the note 1 was plagued with it. Have you tried wiggling the cord in the slot?
Now that I reread your post I would be taking that device into where you bought it and have them document the issue. Since your stock this is an easy process and having it documented at the local retailer will (according to att customer service) increase your chance of getting a new device over a refurb.

I tried a Factory Reset, I plugged the phone in right after and didn't have any problem so I thought okay maybe that did it. Went through the rest of my day without trying again. Now, trying again before bed only to find that when I plug it in now, it charges for a second, stops, then brings up the notification that the dock has been attached. I'll be taking it back to At&t tomorrow and will report my findings. Thanks for the help thus far.

Tried a different usb cable and/or different AC outlet (not a power strip)?

Was having a similar problem with mine. Okay usually when I would charge it it would stop and then restart. Additionally, I noticed that I could not connect to any computer or USB on the go devices as it would not recognize them. In the end I went with my Samsung phone to the service center near me and they repaired a defective module for the USB port on the spot. Now it works like brand-new.
Honestly this sounds like a bad cable. A dirty in port in the phone. Or a wet connection. Try using rubbing alcohol and qtips or smaller cleaners. Give it a couple minutes to evaporate when done. If that doesn't fix it your phone has internal issues. Stock. Triangle away. Ask for a replacement. Will be fulfilled. Especially if problem is provable.

I apologize for the delayed reply. I waited for the phone to do its charging fit at home before taking it to AT&T....twice...I went to two separate stores because both are so close to me, and BOTH times the phone did not do it while charging in their store. I told them I have been using the Samsung charging cable and block, along with some other from different android phones, and all were giving the either stop / start charge with freeze, or the stop/start charge, "dock is connected," freeze. They told me it must be a bad block, and that the other chargers I am using aren't providing enough amps, hence why the phone gets crazy. I just thought to myself, you've got to be kidding me. So I went back, stopped using the block I got with the phone, I found my girlfriends usb power adapters from one of her old Apple devices (...I know right..) and used that along with the Samsung cable. So far, I haven't had a problem with it. I also tried my neighbor's charger from her S3, and that worked fine when I tried it. The phone does still do the described problem when it's plugged into other chargers, even my car charger. I might try cleaning the port itself as suggested and see if that does anything. Also was suggested by the AT&T rep to get a charger that's "high amp," so I'll give that a try as well. It just doesn't seem normal to have to go through all of that trouble though, I don't think Samsung would make their phone not be compatible with other micro usb charger devices?
All u need is 2000mah. (2amps)

Hi,
Yesterday my new (~2 months old) Note2 stopped charging. tried 2 different chargers, 2 different cables connected to PC. No reaction (no beeps, no led, battery icon not changed to flash).
Tried removing and putting the battery back in. No change.
On the other hand, when connected to the PC, the PC identified the connection and allowed file transfer. Later the battery died completly. I succeeded in booting to download mode, and again PC identified the USB device.
Switching the phone on with no battery gave no results either (would not turn on).
This leads me to a conclusion that the USB port is probably OK. Could it just be a dead battery? (according to its label, the battery was made on Nov 29th, 2012).
I will be able to switch battery tomorrow with another Note 2. Anything else I can try till then?
Using custom recovery and stock rom.
Thanks in advance,
Idan

U already tried all the possible steps... Did you try turning the phone on when connected to a wall mount charger ?

Yeah, with or without battery... no reaction from the phone.
Have you tried a lower powered device to see if that works? Some usb ports don't have full power output, as some laptops portray.

I've tried 2 USB ports on a desktop PC. didn't work.
I've connected it without the SIM and SD to an old nokia charger (0.7ma), no sign of a change but after ~ 1 hour I noticed the red led turned on - turning the device on showed 44% charged.
Now I am too puzzled. any ideas?
This is exactly what happened to me. .. it was the motherboard. I brought an external battery charger, charged the battery full so I could use the phone. Then used triangle away and odin to flash stock rom, and sent it in for warranty service. This seems to be becoming a common fault with the note 2 now....ive seen a few thread recently.

Hey there, my sgn2 n7100 had the same problem before, I tried everything, even disassembled the phone apart, but it was still won't turn on or charge, won't be recognized by pc or Mac. One day when I repaired my mom's iPhone 4 touch screen, I found out that the USB port was so dusty. I thought may be it's all because the USB port was dusty then I picked up my sgn2 and used a soft tooth brush with a little pure alcohol to clean every corner of the USB port. Guess what? After 15 minutes I connected my phone with the USB wall charger, my sgn2 just started to charge again. Trust me guys, try to use a soft brush to clean the USB port before you give your phone to the repair store or somewhere else. Good luck!! Hope it helps.
Same here, i manage to purchase note 2 for 300 euros! And when I put it to charge nothing!I went to download mode and then turn it on normal and its charging! Also happend the same with my s3 so eighter its a charging problems or seems to be one software issues

@scufutz I could guarantee the symptoms described by the OP is NOT software issue, as I have an N7100 with same problem and I managed to flash new kernel and still it does not charge even powered off. Download mode connects perfect.
I'll check if this cleaning method, or if its a circuit prob.
