INFO:
Yesterday the screen was completely unusable, it looked like it was not calibrated (like the old qtek's and htc's) and was not only unresponsive but also very slow, so it did click where and when you didnt want.
CONCLUSION:
after some time I realized and was able to duplicate it when the phone was connected to the wall charger thru the USB cable.
Gotta say im using a really cheap wall charger USB connection because the one from the box is not working. (do have any idea why is this?)
In some threads, it also says it is a common issue in SGS2 but no one says anything about SGN.
Do you have the same issue?
read your user manual. It states this there. Did you watch that xda video when you joined?

I know nothing about this issue, but if I were you I'd stop using that charger immediately. If that's the only time it happens the Nexus might be getting over 5.0v from the charger.

thanks, what video when I joined? back in 07 ?
Had same problem w/ cheap charger. It would be all funky touch screen. This happens to most of my other phones too w/ that same charger (Nexus One, Nexus S, G2X).

Also happened with my sgs, so i bought another charger. An official charger. Not that expensive.
I have the same issue
Hi guys, sorry for the revive, but I'm having the same issue as the OP but with both official usb cable and wall charger that came with the phone. Is there any way to fix it? Or should I get another official charger?
Its a voltage issue between the charger and phone. Its been that way since android began.

Didn't hear anything about any solution rather than buying a new charger, it doesn't cost more than 15 €
At least that's what i did...sorry

Thanks for the response. I feel kind of dissapointed because everything is brand new out of the box. I guess I'll get another charger then...

Anyone use a Powermat to charge their phone? it looks like the usb attachment doesn't make it register like it's charging?
I have the same problem with USB charging. Neither my PC nor my Macbook Pro will charge the phone. It says charging, but the battery continues to drain. I noticed on my mac the USB port is only providing 500mA. The plug-in charger that came with the phone says 1.0 amp (1000ma).
I have a powermat too, but you need a special back cover on the phone to get it to charge this way, even that's even going to be an option on this phone.
having an issue with some of my car chargers too, some work some don't.

I initially had problems when using the power cube as well. This was a little surprising since its output was 1A which was the same as chargers which worked well. I decided to try using a different mini to micro usb adapter than the one which comes with the power cube. Once I switched adapters, the powermat worked perfectly.
Any particular model?

You would ask that. I found the packaging and it's an Adapti. It's just a cheap adapter that I bought from the local Fred Meyer (a department store chain in the Pacific Northwest) about a year and a half ago. It also came a mini-usb to iPhone adapter.
Hopefully this helps. You should be able to find an adapter that works.

Not all USB cables or chargers are made the same.
I bought one micro usb cable that looked high quality but didn't charge at all when in use and charged very slowly when not in use.

Wrong place, you need to check in: Settings > About Phone > Status
Might it be a faulty USB cable? Have you tried with a different cable/charger?

Yeah I've tried two different cables. Haven't tried the stock one since I don't have it.

Try on a different computer, maybe your computers USB ports are malfunctioning or the GNex overloads them when the phone is on?
Not sure what the problem is. I've tried two dfferent computers usb ports several different outlets and two different cables. The only time it truly charges is when I have it hooked up to my car charger
I'm having a similar problem with the GSM version. I had the original Galaxy S and had to replace it because over time it completely stopped charging no matter what cable I used. Is this an issue with Samsung phones? Now My Galaxy Nexus seems to only charge with certain cables and some cables that it originally worked with no longer charge it. I've tested the cables with other devices and they seem to work. I'm wondering if I should begin the lengthy process of shipping it off to the UK for warranty service. Anyone have a link to a tutorial on how to flash everything back to stock and relock the bootloader?

Resolution?
So today my Galaxy Nexus (GSM) has started doing the same as the OP. I did not charge at all last night on the charger. I turned it off. Took it downstairs to another charger and plugged it in and noticed that it was charging. I figured it just needed a reboot. I turned it back on and left if on the second charger and it quit charging. Now I've moved to a third charger and the same thing is happening....no charge except while turned off.
I don't think I have done anything to harm the phone--the only thing I've ever done to it is swap the battery to the larger version. I'll try to switch the battery back to the OEM when I get home from work to see if that makes a difference. In the mean time, does anyone have any ideas on this? The phone is only ~6 months old, would I be wrong to say that the warranty would take care of this? Thanks.

My SGS2 did this as well. I had to tweak the USB connector on my phone. I bent it slightly toward the screen and all was well, never had to mess with it again.

This is true, the outer pins on a USB are for charging, positive and negative. The inner two are data in, data out. At the very least, a cable will always have positive and negative, so all cables will charge unless there's a break in either positive or negative or both. If there's a break in data in or out, it should still charge but it won't communicate with a PC or something like that.
The issue OP is talking about sounds rom or kernel related. Nandroid > Try something else. Hope for the best.
I've noticed that on 4.1 my USB charging worked fine. Now that I am on 4.1.1 it still charges over USB, but at a decreased rate. In other words, before 4.1.1 it easily charged over night and now it will only charge to about 80%. Does anyone have any ideas why that might be?

I just did the same thing, and it worked. Gnex was only charging when it was off, now, it's fine. I had to do the same thing to my old Fascinate for the same issue.

Having the exact same problem, won't charge with the original adapter as well as spare adapters, also wont charge through USB. Car charger is the only thing charging it right now.
Explain further?
Could you explain further what you mean by "bent slightly toward the screen?" are you talking on the phone or on the cord? If on the cord, then the whole metal connector? Or just something inside.
I know it happened to some others but could not find the post. While im charging my nexus, there is a whistle sound that can be heard, this happens when im using a Samsung car charger, but with others, it was reported as wall charger too I think. Can this damage phone? It charges fine, and this doesn't happen, or I never noticed when charging via usb or at home

It's probably the cheap capacitors in the power supply. No worries.

Happens to me to, its the cheap usb/charger samsung supplied, I use a dedicated usb charger from a previous phone with no problems, hard to sleep with the hissing next to your ear.
My home charger was whining last night prior to me charging in the phone. That was the first time I've heard it before. Kinda freaked me out cuz I was getting ready for bed.

should be okay. your n7 charger provides more current than the standard gnex charger. the phone's charging circuitry will only draw in as much current as it can take without damaging itself.
ever single electronic device i own i charge with the charge with the charger they came with

I been using my old HTC charger for my galaxy nexus on an off for the last 12 months with no problem, I never heard of anyone damaging their phone using other phone chargers that fit, if you lose your charger an buy a generic charger they work the same way without needing one made by Samsung, I know most phone manuals will tell you to only use charger supplied with phone but they always says that an rather you get a replacement through them.I also use to lend my gnex charger to other people at work who owned HTC phones all the time an they have no problem with it.

The entire idea is to have the micro usb system universally, all manufacturers / os. Only apple messes it up.
I use the charger it came with and also several other generic ones (car, work, second office) and all seem to charge fine with no signs of excessive heat. What about charging time? I just came from the HTC Thunderbolt and would leave it charging over night. I thought I read that is not recommended to do with the Nexus. Does anyone leave theirs charging over night?

I plug my galaxy nexus in every night before I go to bed to charge overnight since I got it last December that way its fully charged an ready to go when I go to work every morning, I have done that with every phone I have owned , I don't see how that's a problem.
GNex ~ N7 charger :good:
N7 ~ GNex charger
MicroUSB plugs are universal so all should work fine. Only time it'd be bad is if the wiring in the outlet you plugged into is done improperly.
It should be fine, as someone else stated earlier, the N7 charger is capable of supplying more current, but in simple terms it's a "suck" rather than a "blow"
The devices will all have regulator circuitry in to prevent damage.
The other way around is tedious (charging the N7 from a GNex charger...zzz)
Hello,
I really need help here, for a few months already I'm using other people's chargers, because I don't know which is a reliable charger, I tried to purchase from eBay a "genuine" S3 charger, but ofcourse.. it wasn't and I don't seem to find nearby Samsung stores..
So maybe can you tell me about good branded reliable charger for my s3 , preferably with EU plug? A charger that won't explode or catch fire or burn my phone or something like that :laugh:
Thanks all!
Samsung's website would be a good start.

This is the first time I am hearing this about the original Samsung Galaxy Chargers, though there were few cases where people used to keep the phone on charging over night and eventually the charger blows up or the battery or the charger socket on the device. If you just could tell the country that you live in, it may help to assist you.. :fingers-crossed:

yeah you're better off buying aftermarket but good quality charger. ive used aftermarket on our galaxy tab2 without issues. Seems to charge at same speed as a oem charger
BTW is it the charger thats bad or the usb cable? My wife's usb took a dump a couple of months since purchased new. She now has Mediabridge hi-speed cable, I personally like it way better than oem, its longer without loosing charging speed and seems better build
