mine has done this before, now what I did, do at your own risk! I bent the tab inside the charging port on the phone upwards and now it has been fine for a month. Again do it at your own risk and be very gentle if you do! There is a thread on this somewhere in the general section and that was what I read you had to do to fix it

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.

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?

check the power ratings on your charger and the one supplied with the gnex. possibly you are supplying too little
I had that, was the cable. Got a new one, it works again

i'm now try to charging in the wall not at the pc with another cable(i have another stock cable from friend) and i will see
the problem start just yesterday it was till then normally
Clean the charging port with a q-tip (with phone turned off and battery out). If that doesn't work you can check if the pins are bent slightly downwards?
If they are bend them slightly up again so they don't touch anything.
If that doesn't help your last option is to replace the charging board.
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
ok
i open the gnex according to thise
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sD6LRfJHSk
and clean the port with small brush
for now it's ok but i will follow these today and will see and update here if it is ok
hi all
and thank you again !
till now everything workes ok i finished the battery at the end of it and it was ok!
just clean the micro usb port
p.s. if it so dirty after all the using so why to use it?
Right so my gnex will randomly stop charging at random points but will continue again when I pull the plug out and plug it back in. Has anybody else noticed it?

I've experiend the same thing and thought it was the charger itself. That's not case, because I was able to plug it into a different outlet and it worked. I've also used that same charger on other devices, and it works. I'm not sure what the problem is, but there are times I have to pull the battery out to get it start charging again.
no one has thought of replacing the battery itself??
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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
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 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

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

I've been having issues the last few days charging my Sprint Galaxy s3. When plugged in, the phone will recognized that it should be charging, but the battery will not charge. When turned off and plugged in, it charges very slowly, maybe 1 percent every half an hour. I've tried many different USB cables, but that does not seem to be the issue as the same cables charged my Nexus 7 just fine. I had the battery tested at the sprint store, and they told me that it was fine. Anybody have some insight to help me out?

Same exact issue I had not too long ago. The problem for me was the charging port on my phone. I had to get it replaced

Sorry for not being clear, but I meant to say I had to get my phone replaced. The sprint tech people tried fixing it but their fix only worked for a day.
