Phone stuck on charging logo after charging it turned off

Hey guys!
My phone died on me yesterday since I forgot to charge it the day before, it was dead in my pocket for 3 hours until I got home.
Without bothering to do anything, I simply plugged my dead phone into the charger and went to bed. I woke up today, unplugged it from the charger and the phone stayed with the charging symbol stuck, I pressed the power button and nothing so I had to make a battery pull to get it to turn on.
Any issue to what could have caused this? also any interesting battery saving tips? sprints crappy 3g network in my area is draining the battery quickly so I turned off mobile data.
EDIT: Snap, I think this belongs in the Q&A section sorry mods

forcing 2g mode should help.
you can also get a spare battery
letting a lithium battery drain to 0 reduces its life.

Not sure what could have happened to make your phone get stuck at boot when charging.
As far as battery saving tips, there are tons all over these forums, but it really depends on what you are willing to give up as far as features in order to save battery. You can always turn down screen brightness, turn off WiFi/Bluetooth/3G, uninstall battery-hogging apps, turn off sync and background data etc.. Its all about finding a good balance though.

That's a sign of either:
dirty usb port, clean it.
Faulty or going faulty usb port.
Sometimes Rom, kernel issue.

Can I use compressed air to blow the possible dust out?
I'm running ru jellying m1 with no special kernel.

Galaxy Nexus only charges when connected to PC

My phone stopped charging from its regular wall charger this morning. Now when I plug it in it doesn't do anything. If I turn it off and plug it in the battery icon with the charging icon shows up then shows it charging, then it shows the charging icon again and the same thing keeps happening until the battery just dies. The only way I can get it to charge is if I plug it into usb port on my computer. Is there any solution?

The same exact same thing happened to me today! Very strange. I restarted about 4 times, and took out the battery etc. and it just started working.

It happens when u add few drops of water in charging port.. lol
Happened to me too ..
I used every trick vacuum, hair dryer, sun-light, heat etc. but didnt work
then I dipped my phone in 100 kg rice bag for 2 days .. lol
problem resolved !

I just started experiencing the same thing. Occasionally I can get it to charge, but usually it just sits there and dies. I haven't been able to test the pc charging, as I'm currently on vacation. This is pretty random, considering I've had the phone since launch day (Verizon), and have dropped it, etc in the past with no problems; then randomly it won't charge.

Had strange problems like this. Try bending the little tab in the charging port on your phone (carefully) away from the side. I haven't had a problem since.

Your charging brick or USB could be bad. Try different cords/chargers.

I've had similar issues.
Some background: It started just after I flashed the AUG 29 AOKP Jellybean nightly. It might just be a co-incidence but I saw a couple of people on rootzwiki who had a similar issue.
I wasn't charging at all then. Only when I was turned off. I was having driver issues with computers that had connected to the phone before.
I have since reset it back to stock JB and the charging from the charger seems to have been fixed. Instead my pogo pin charging is a bit iffy. It works sometimes but not always.........
Well, I spoke too soon! NOT CHARGING from the wall again. When phone is shutdown, it charges. In Android, it doesn't.

Could you tell us what you have done so far? Any solutions that you tried but didn't work?
Have you tried:
-different battery?
-using different cable or the charger?
-straightening the metal part of the port?
-cleaning the port with alcohol?
These are the known solutions for most of the Gnex port problem. If you haven't tried already, please do so. If you're still having problem with it, tell us.

Solution
This is not a randome issue... Happened to me too only ONCE and never again
Solution
Let the phone battery die out completely and then charge a bit and boot into CWM recovery. Reset battery stats and you are good to go.:good: Or you can even try reseting battery stats without complete discharge. I havent tried the later since had this problem only once. I'm not a developer but my theory is that there is some embeded software that determines power supply and due to some reason it got corrupted.
Hit THANKS if I helped

Thank you everyone for your help. Really appreciate it. So I know I didn't get it wet. And I changed chargers and batteries to no avail. Then I tried what the last post said, to wipe battery stats. I did that and restarted. Did it again because first time didn't do anything. Now its charging fine. Great relief

I'm experiencing this problem now. But I think it's because I was messing around with 'Fast Charge' settings in my AOKP Milestone 1 ROM controls without really knowing what any of it meant. I'll try to wipe battery stats and do a few reboots. I'll let you guys know.

Same problem for me now too! =\ I'm using cyanogenmod though. I reset battery stats, formatted and factory reset the thing and nothing. Also tried a few different cables. It's also no longer being recognized when connected to PC.
EDIT: Looks like the USB connector on the device was slightly off center. Bent it up a bit and it seems to be working as normal now.

VBUS TUNA OTG wakelock due to usb port problem and battery drain

I had the problem of ghost charging, it started with phone not charging when connected to charger and then randomly showing charging(even when not plugged in i.e. ghost charging) .
After seeing other thread, i cleaned the port with paper and tooth pick and also pushed the inner tongue slightly upwards and now it doesn't show charging icon, but it says not charging in settings>battery, instead of discharging
It causes vbus_tuna_otg wake lock in Bette battery stats and high system usage in setting> battery, basically not letting the phone go to deep sleep, causing battery drain.
Have tried multiple roms and stock, etc all give same behaviour so definately h/w problem and also have two batteries and both do the same thing.
Any way to fix this. ?
Any help appreciated.

Hey,
i actually live in India, and had purchased this from US from Google directly, so i dont think samsung will be providing replacement, they give only limited warranty after 14 days..
Any idea on how to solve problem or atleast let device go to sleep..

There's another thread in here somewhere where a guy replaced his USB port, you may look into that.

vbus-tuna_otg
Did you ever get it fixed, I also have the same problem I have been searching and searching and I can't find a solution. I have tried a new battery, resetting the phone to stock, cleaning the usb port, replacing the usb port, taking the phone apart and cleaning it, greenified a lot of apps and the phone still does it. I just ordered another usb port in case the first one I bought was defective. I have bbs and vbus-tuna_otg is the main kernel wakelock killing my battery. Hopefully someone can help us seeing as this is a Google flagship phone.
My phone is a Verizon 32GB Galaxy Nexus running CM 10.1.3

Have tried the same as you. Changed port and battery and problem still persists. It's probably a board thing and needs a board replacement. I ll just have to live with it. I have the GSM version. I wonder if there is any way of disabling the service /process that creates the wakelock...

Hi,
I have developed an open-souce (GPLv3) app that helps save battery when this happens.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484871
SnooZy Charger turns off the screen on these ghost connections, saving battery consumption by the display. It does not fix the charging issues, but it reduces the battery drain when this happens.

Phone won't charge unless I don't touch phone

Lately my phone drains even while on the charger. I basically can't use it while charging or it won't go past the percentage its at, sometimes. Its driving me crazy anyone else experiencing this or have. Any tips?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I've been having the same problem for two weeks now. I thought it might be the charger so I bought a new one. It wasn't. Sometimes it will chargw normal but most of the time it just stays at the aame percentage if I'm using it while charging and it seems to get really hot. What rom/kernel you running?

Just got my S3 last week so not super familiar with it yet but just a couple of practical things to try. First switch out the cord and the charger, if that doesn't do anything and you have an extra battery or can borrow someone's see if that makes a difference. Also are you rooted, what ROM, and how long have you been on that ROM. My guess is those its not root or ROM related at all. Either the battery is going or the charger or cord isn't supplying the right voltage somehow. The only other possibility is that it is charging and its not registering. If you are rooted with TWP recovery it will show your batt percentage in recovery. Reboot to recovery and see if it matches up with what your seeing on your phone.

The charger and brick charges my gnex fine. I've used multiple ROMs to see if its a ROM issue. I've used darthstarker, synergy, root box, liquid smooth, and now I'm on deviant xone. Tried different kernels as well. I have ordered a couple zero lemons.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

try a different battery, and also try going into recovery if you have twp and see if the percentages match up. You could also download battstat and wipe the current stat just to try it because you never know lol.

It's more likely a software issue than hardware.
As in, let's see some battery stats.

Only reason I was thinking hardware is if he has flashes multiple roms and kernels and the problem is still there I doubt it's software, but that was my initial thought also. Just figured if he can try a different battery that for sure says it's in the phone.

It happens to me when I first got the phone. Then I realized the phone is really picky about the the cable and the charger you use. Using everything stock will guarantee you a quick charge. I use a 2 Amp brick and OEM SamSung cable and it charges just fine. Using USB extension cord might slow down your charging also. So maybe just play around with your brick and cable a bit and see if it fixes your problem.

At first, I thought the same thing. But when you flash multiple roms, do your apps change? I know mine don't. I use the same apps regardless of rom. We can't know anything without more information, just putting out there what I consider to be another valid point of view.

Here's a shot of my battery notice its on the charger and decreasing? I'll post a battery log later when it dies

This phone is very quirky, completely stock sometimes it decides to charge quickly other times it takes way longer time. Now my phone won't give me notification in the status bar that I'm getting a message.

[Q] Nexus 7 turns off

Hello Everyone,
I am a noob on XDA, Please correct me if i have posted in the wrong forum. I bought a new nexus 7 16gb, for some reason when the battery is around 25-30% the tablet turns off itself. Its not shutdown its like pulling the battery of a phone thats on. The only way to start it is by connecting the charger.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I am on the stock rom NOT rooted
Thanks

Have you charged the device to 100% yet? I would do that, leave it charging for an hour after it shows 100% then use it till it dies. Rinse and repeat.

Yes I have charged it 100% multiple times, The only difference is i use a sammy charger that outputs 0.7 amps once in a while. I dont suspect the charging thing to do this.

Are you getting normal use out of a charge? How much screen time in one charge?

Like Highfigh suggested check how long you can run on a full charge. If you get some good hours in then maybe the battery % is not reporting back properly. A reset/restore could possible resolve that issue.

I believe I am getting pretty good charge. I will try once again, I was thinking this might be something with stock rom and hence I posted it online. Thanks every one for the help

exactly the same story here. in my case it's not so easy to turn it on. it would seem like the device is completely discharged, even if it just showed some 40 % battery left. i have to wait several hours to even try to bring it back to recovery mode. very long press does nothing. it happened couple of times already. very annoying with such seemingly superb tablet. i'm not living in the us of a, so no quick replacement for me

That's bad I can turn on mine in a few minutes. Again mine happens very rarely. I also get an excellent battery life. How long does yours go on a charge.
I would also like to know if there is any kind of Logs that we can look at. It's getting irritating, did you try rooting your device to see if that might fix the problem.

I got the same problem recently, I think it was after the last update on the firmware. Everytime the battery reach around 35% it just went off.
