I guess you did nothing wrong, it's a general problem of GB ROMs. But hey.. at least you know when to plug it in and you won't be surprised by a sudden shutdown.

For Sense kernels maybe.
Op, define 'calibration'?

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.

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.

[Q] Battery at 0% when inserting replacement

Hi all
I've bought 2 Desire HD batteries (1210mah IIRC) and they work just fine on their own.
I can't manage to keep alive my phone after replacing one with another (charged), though, since the phone believes the battery charge is 0%. I know this is an error, since I can always plug the phone and check with an handful of apps.
This actually means that I can't switch from a dying battery to a charged one if I don't have access to a USB socket!
If I have to guess, I'd say the phone is not deleting batterystats when I swap the batteries.
Any idea? I'm running CodefireX JB nightlies.

Have been noticing the same behavior! Would like to know if anyone knows a solution..

Actually I did found a workaround, kinda. After a first boot-automatic shutdown, this morning I booted in recovery, then I wiped batterystats (although I don't know how that could help). After a reboot it shat down again automatically, and then it worked.
I'd guess it just take some time to read the correct mV value. So basically you could leave your phone sitting in recovery for like 5 minutes and then reboot. Or, you know, just fratically reboot until it works. That's my plan anyway.
Meh.

That is a known issue with batteries other than the original HTC battery. Since I'm used to have a sensation battery, I ought to bring along portable charger whenever I can in long trips. There is no other way other than plugging it in charger or just hoping that it would boot up with a lil bit of luck.

It makes sense. I had to reboot the phone after a full charge (unrelated issue) and then it happened again. I tried my luck; after three reboots the phone got it right. It should be enough having the phone sitting in recovery mode for like 5 minutes. When it shows a valid percentage it's good to go!

This happens to me almost daily. All you have to do is restart the phone maybe twice... nothing else. I used to think i had to plug it in as well. Nope just restart it, if it shows 0 percent again it'll die, restart again, bam 100 percent.

Brand New One X - Dead?

Got my One X in the post today, plugged it in, been on charge for atleast an hour and a half but it's still dead
No signs of life, no charge light, can't turn on, can't enter bootloader
Anyone experience this?
Also the phone is stone cold, if the battery was charging I would expect it to get warm...

What cable / charger are you using ? can you try a different charger ? can you confirm the charger is ok on another device?

Yeh looks that way so that means no new phone for a week as I have to wait for them to collect it then send me a new one, can't just take it to a store which is stupid
Checked the pogo pins with a volt meter and it's reading 5v no problem so power is getting to the phone it just seems dead. No battery life and it won't turn on

When I got a replacement HOX from carphone warehouse that was dead too, but I left it plugged in for a few hours and it came to life.
If the battery has no charge at all it may seem like a fault.

Charger that came with it but checked dock pins to make sure voltage is present in the phone which it clearly is

Does sound dead sadly, should have some charge if it came new.
Does it get detected as anything by windows even if off?
Any repsonse if you hold down the power button and both volume buttons?

Mine did the same thing when it was fresh out the box. I just left it on sharge for a couple of hours and the charge light then lit and it powered up. The battery was just very flat on arrival.

Did your battery warm up though? This ones cold to the touch
I think it's dead so already called for a replacement but gotta wait for it
In the meantime I will leave it to charge overnight but I'm not hopeful at all, be better if we could access the battery instead of HTC going all apple on us

As I got my hox, it was fully discharged too, and it took ca. 30 minutes to bring it back to life...

When I first got mine was at 15% battery, after 24hrs charging (original charger, laptop, Inc s charger...) nothing changed.
Ended up with a replacement but took optus Australia 3 weeks to replace it.

...
Try to change cable I have to do that because stock cable that came with phone is sh..t.One day just stop working.Now using NOKIA CA-101 and no problem at all fantastic build quality.With stock cable had that problem couple times

Even if it does not light right up, the battery should get warmer when charging. Like advised, try a different cable, if that does not work either, then there probably is no simple solution that you can solve on your own.

new battery calibration

i've replaced my one x's battery with one x+ battery. while charging new battery i think it goes from for example %90 to %100 in a few seconds.could it be because of old battery 1800mAh and 2100mAh? how can i calibrate new battery? i've used battery calibrator aplication, full wiped and installed rom... but still same

i've done this for a week. but still same problem, while charging battery goes from 90% to 100% in a few seconds. and i get 20hours battery with 2 hours screen on

Have you tried the battery calibration app from the play store? You charge it to a 100% and you calibrate it, deleting older battery charge files and making a new one. I usually use it after flashing a new Rom to avoid these kind of issues
Edit: 2 hrs screen time is really bad.. are you sure it is an authentic htc battery?

That battery wad never designed to work with that pcb, sometimes the sensor in the battery does not talk with the board, also long term you might damage your phone due to incorect battery

1. Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
2. With the device truly OFF (NOT ON STANDBY) , push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button And HOLD for 2 minutes and let go once 2 Minutes has passed.
Doing this will calibrate the Circuit within the battery charging system.

yes.. if it still doesnt work try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16808932

actually there is no any calibration you can do it by yourself. I have got a calibration laboratory for medical devices so we are calibrating many things and you need a special device to calibrate your battery, you can not do it just with a program =)

Tried it with Power connected at step 2. Is that correct? The Phone booted every 10 seconds to the HTC screen and shut down immediately. Is this still correct? Did Not make a difference so far...
Forgot to say that I don't have the stock rom anymore. I'm on Paranoid Android 3.65 with n3ocort3x Kernel.

Disable the fastboot option by going in settings/power. And the try it again.. It worked for me

I don't have that Option in my settings menu, I'm on AOSPA, not on sense. Or is there a similar option? I can't find it...
