This is pretty elementary but I found this handy the other night when my Ion battery completely pooped out during a power outage. My trusty X10 was fully-charged but of coarse SIMs do not match. You can always buy one but where's the fun in that. Even funner by candlelight. Lol

Ok so here is the story, I noticed my micro usb was fitting in my phone pretty losely a few days ago. I didn't think anything of it, but today I was at work with 30% battery. So I go to charge it (stock wall mount & usb from my house) and noticed it wasnt charging. So after work I went to the mall to buy a charger, the ones they had didn't work, so I went to tmobile, and there's didn't work either. I came to the conclusion that my usb port is broken =/ my phone was completely dead for a few hours (plugged in the wall at home, hoping it'll charge) and as of 3 hours its gone from 0% to 15%, and the charging "lightning" bolt isn't over the battery indicating a charger is being recognized. Also it doesn't say its charging on the lock screen either. I am completely confused, is it a bad usb port? Bad battery? What should I do? I'm using an old G2 I found in a drawer until I find a solution.
Also I bought my Phone from some guy on craigstlist eliminating possible warranty right?
Thank guys!

You can still try warranty and see if that works. I guess when you are submitting the service request just say what's wrong. I bought a phone from someone some time ago and sent it in for repair. Fixed no questions asked.

You call Samsung of course. But when I called them for a warranty, they asked me for the receipt. So you might need it too... But doesn't hurt.
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz

Here's an update. I pulled the battery out and back in then kept the phone off while the charger was in the phone, so it showed the Barry charing icon. I let it sit that way over night and when I turn the phone on this morning its 100% battery, but frankly it won't charge back up again. Its not recognizing my charger, I'm guessing it'll only charge the phone if the phone is off?

My phone isn't charging at all.
In an attempt to charge, I turned it off and plugged in the charger. The charging animation did come up bit it would keep on coming up (like it's in a loop) and my phone still won't actually charge.
PC wasn't recognizing the phone either. Was saying that the USB device is not recognized.
I tried pushing up the metal inside the USB slot too. Not working. Maybe I haven't done that correctly.
What exactly could be the issue? The fact that the screen shows the charging animation when phone is off makes me feel that the USB slot may not really be faulty. But even though the animation comes, it vanishes before it should be complete (ie it vanishes before the battery icon is filled with white) and starts the animation from the beginning.
For ****s, flash the stock image, but it really sounds like faulty.... Something, try other USB bricks and cables.

Tried different cables. It's the same.
I can't flash the factory image either but my battery is completely dead now and I need to charge it to boot the phone up. And to be honest, I don't think flashing stock will really help.
had this issue as well, ended up just getting a replacement. Figured it was hardware issue. couldn't ever get it fixed
Wow!! Suddenly everything is working. Just kept the phone idle in the drawer with the battery taken out for around 30 minutes. Connected the charger and it's working fine.
Even though is temporarily fixed. Its a USB port problem. Mine has the same. I just use an external charger.

The actual problem is the mid board. I had that same problem. what you need to do is get the mid board replace inside of the phone.

Had the same issue some days back... Some days it charged and some days it won't charge at all.. While it's off it says its charging but it actually isn't .. Did some reading n found out that the USB flex port was gone.. Replaced it and everything fine now...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
How much does a USB flex port cost? I'll need it in case the problem occurs again.

Yep, I am facing the same and this issue seems to be going around even for Nexus 4. The problem lies around 4.3 update.

Try these steps but none of them help. The only way to charge your phone at the moment is to switch it off, wait a few seconds, connect charger and see that charging animation starts. Now you can switch on the phone and the phone almost everytime continues charging.
I have no idea what causes this and I hope someone can pin the fault somewhere...but no cigar so far.

I don't think it's a software issues. But if it is, then I'm not much tensed anymore.

I think the contrary. It is software issue. Nexus 4 users are worst effected by it. And no one seems to have a clue. Its just known that it is restricted to 4.3 only.
Can you link the Nexus 4 thread please?

There are half a dozen more and most of the people have given up.
I downgraded to 4.2.2 and still, the phone doesn't charge. Its a pain in the arse.
I guess I should just go back to 4.3 and wait for a fix since downgrading didn't fix the issue, this is a bummer to say the least

This may be a dumb question but would this have anything to do with not having the 4.3 boot loader??? I didn't install it, my understanding was it wasn't necessary on the Verizon gnex
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
OK update I flashed back to 4.3 and went into storage and unchecked "connect as media device” and so far it is charging OK from all sources, only problem I still have is the the charging indicator still flashes on and of when unplugged

Just try to install battery widget reborn
I dnt knw if its gonna work but after installing this my phn showed charging all the time
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
OK here is an update, I have cleaned out my port with a small screwdriver from an eyeglass repair kit, used some compressed air and a little bit of electrical contact cleaner and gently raised up the charging port a bit ( to where it was originally, mine was bent down a bit ) and bam! So far its working again like a charm

Hi
I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with this phone a while back after flashing a new rom (mildwild I think) my phone started to shutdown at around 80 or 70%. I've tried charging it a few times but no luck so I tried my spare battery which I think worked at first, it lasted till about 20% but then it started to shutdown at 80 aswell. I gave up and got a new phone but I like to try and get this one working again. I've flashed it back to stock gb with the ruu but it's still the same I don't think it's charging the batteries fully as after only about a hour the led turns green.
Anyone have any idea's on what's up with it?
Thanks

The same thing has happened to me so basically you need a new battery because yours could be old and check if its bloated.

I was thinking about trying another battery but they aren't that cheap. It seems odd that the 2 batteries would stop working around the same time tho.
