[Q] Led flashing and green. Unable to charge phone. Help!

As my HOX was charging, via a USB cable to plug, the screen started flickering slightly and the phone shut itself down. The phone was 10% charged. Now when I try to charge it the LED flashes red and green and doesn't seem to charge. I've read that this could be due to overheating so I left my phone untouched for a couple of hours but it's still flashing red and green/green. Something feels seriously wrong.
Is there something I can do to fix this?
When the problem started the phone was quite warm but nowhere near as hot as it has been, and I wasn't using it that much.
The only thing different today was that I was using a plug that I don't normally use, the cable I have used before.
Any ideas?
How much does a battery replacement cost?
Thanks
Chris

Don't you have the charger and cable it came with? Try another charger that can supply at least 1 amp and try a different cable.
The only time I've had this is when it's overheated.

Charged to 28% but then shut down after light usage
Ok I've managed to get it charging up to 28%. Then I stopped charging it and started using it to do some light Internet browsing, but after about 15 minutes it suddenly shut itself down even though it wasn't hot and had plenty of battery. What's going on?

You might have damaged the battery using a non standard plug. It might be more than the phone can handle

I always had the impression that the USB plugs were all standardised and acted the same?

Can charge it to 60% but turns off after heavy usage
OK I've managed to get this battery to charge up to 60%. It won't go any higher than that. I was using today quite heavily for about 30 minutes and it got quite hot and turned itself off.
Will replacing the battery sort this problem out or is there something else wrong?
Thanks

I'd be surprised if it was the battery, I'd try a factory reset, anb if that doesn't work, an RUU.

Not Charging After Full Drain. Not Turning On When Plugged In

So I'm having a problem where I drained my battery and the phone shut itself off with 1% to 2% battery life remaining. I've left it charging for a good 45 minutes now. Turned it on, and it reported 1%. Thinking that it was just a reporting error, I unplugged it, and the phone promptly shut itself off. Now another 30 minutes has passed, unplugged it, turned it on. The phone refuses to turn on! It will however show the battery charging animation, so I know it's not bricked or anything. I guess my only solution is to leave it charging while it's off overnight, even though I need to use my phone right now... That important person will have to wait :crying:
Edit: Works again... Though it does not show my battery life correctly. It says 15% when it's probably more like 2%.

Make sure it's plugged into a wall and not your computer.

Might want to use a different cable.. i have read that the cable and possibly even the wall adapter can be flakey.. if you have a spare cable try to use it instead of the lg one..

Original LG cable is fine. It's ever since I drained the battery it's started to act weird. I plugged it in at 3% in hopes of "calibrating" the batterystats and it was charging fine. Up till now. I caught a glimpse of my phone turn itself off while charging.
Now it's randomly decided to turn itself on and bootloop... And back to charging animation while off we go. What the hell? The battery isn't charging... Switching cables didn't help btw.
Found a third cable. Temporarily working..

Hmmm maybe the charger? Sounds to me like its not getting proper power hence the shutting down while plugged in.. but what do I know heh

I have the same problem. Plugged the phone in at about 3% and walked away. Came back an hour later to find it stuck in a loop of the LG logo and a black screen. I can sometimes get it into recovery, and from there see that the battery percentage will go from 0% to 15% and back to 0%. It's like the battery is bad.

I think it's a problem with the ROM/firmware where we can't drain it and hope to charge it up again..

I'm still running v1 of the jb release and last night I used my phone until it shut down at 2%, charged it up fine, and its been ok, knock on wood. One weird thing is that if I use the phone while on the charger, and I mean light tapatalk usage, the phone will drop to 99%, even while plugged in. Weird.

That's normal. When the phone is charged at 100% it stop charging to avoid the battery to be overcharged thus reducing it's durability.

Not charging again... My phone maintained a charge between 10% and 25% or so according to the battery usage graph. So I switched cables again. I went into the service menu and got a screenshot of the charging test this time. First pic is with the LG cable. Second is with a Samsung cable. Third picture is back with LG cable after the battery successfully got charged past the "low battery zone" with the Samsung cable.

I have a similar problem with the stock charger. After a few weeks of working perfectly, it just sopped charging my Optimus G.
Bizarrely, it charges my wife's Galaxy S2 HD LTE without issues.
And the charger from my Sony-Ericsson Xperia pro charges the Optimus without issues.
It's almost like the stock charger burns out something internally such that it doesn't output enough voltage/amperage/current.

So it happened again... But this time, it occurred in between 20% to 40% battery life while charging. It's probably the LG cable.. Gonna call support and ask for another.

I have a similar situation -- I powered down my phone one time at 5 %, did not wake up until one hour of charge, then last night tried again with about 40 % of battery left, same problem. I was wondering at first if the phone did not go to power down properly, and that the battery would drain through that, but then I just did another test with my battery at 30 %, and the phone did not want to restart until plugged in for 5 minutes.. It's almost as if the booting process is just this huge battery drain, sucking all the juice to start the phone in a peak of electrical rage.. anyway -- I noticed that yesterday, I was trying to restart the phone after a while, it would start to boot but it seemed it owuld just miss a little bit of juice to complete the process, then finally when it made it to screen it was at about 10 %..
Could it be that fix we used in the stock rom to get the screen at more than 65 %, and the cpu at 1512 mhz ? It seems more software related than hardware in my case, meaning I don't beleive it is the cable

Hate to revive an old thread, but as the new owner of an LGOG i just ran across this problem the other day. My phone has been able to go two day on a charge, and last week I forgot to charge it on night. Found it dead the next day. was leaving so I took it intending to charge at work or in the car. Car charger had no effect, but upper portion of phone got hot. plugged it in at home, same thing, charging icon, getting hot, but not charging. Also noted dim screen glow all the time.
tried 2o second hold on power button, vol up and down, got into the download screen and the bootloader screen, but no charge. Finally held the power button and vol. up and red charging light came on. Held it for a minute and the red charging light stayed on, let go out it went. Decided to try a couple of rubber bands around the phone to hold in the buttons, and it worked ---phone charged fully and operates as usual.
Thought I'd pass my experiance on to help anyone else with similar problem. Any idea why this worked?

I don't know, but I do know that getting to android 4.3 roms like the ones in Houstonn's thread have cured my O. G. from that, and from also constant and random camera reboot, and from also maps freaking out when plugged in in the car..

For anybody that runs into this problem
I had this problem and tried for hours and hours to fix it. When you stick the usb charger into your phone, it literally takes like 5 hours to charge 2% when it's in this state
So it never gets to a point of wanting to turn on because the phone gets too hot trying to charge
My solution: Put a bunch of ice in a bowl, then put something over that like a bag, aluminum foil, basically anything that would be a barrier between the ice and your phone to keep it from getting wet
Now let it charge with the phone sitting on top of that ice for a few hours(make sure to add new ice as it melts) and your phone will charge up enough that it can be fully turned on. Then just let it keep charging
This worked for me after trying other things for hours. If this didn't work i was gonna open the phone and pull the battery

After the last update I have not had this issue. I've run my phone dead a few times and now it always charges - no issue.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus i9250 problem.

Hey everyone. I have huge problem with my Galaxy Nexus i9250 for few days now.
Let me start from beggining.
First it was showing charging symbol even if it ain't plugged in. Then it stopped after I cleaned charging port.
Few weeks back there were great floods in my region (Bosnia) and we were in lack of electricity so I started to charge it on a car charger and after it's completely charged (2h) as soon as I start to use it the battery goes off really fast, example, if I use it for let's say calls or even on "stand by" after 30mins the battery goes for like 40%. That's when problems started to begin. If it was turned off becuase of lack of battery I had to turn it on by pressing "Down volume + power" for first 2 times. Then I had to remove battery for few seconds then put it back not completely but I had to press the battery against those 4 pins which conduct electricity to a cell phone and press those two buttons for like 30 seconds to turn it on. Few days ago, I had same problem, but this time it wasnt empty on battery, it was in my pocked with almost 50% of battery when I took it and I saw it was off. Tried again that same proccedure, it turned on, showed recovery menu and it turned off. Ever since I can't turn it on, it charges, but it doesn't show charging indicator on my screen. When I put my battery in other phone it shows it's fully charged. I can't turn it on, my PC won't reconize it, let's say it's dead. I don't know what's happening, so I'm asking here if anyone knows what to do. Thanks to all.

sounds like a battery + charger issue

You must verify the voltage output of the car adapter you were using with the phone , remember that the fact it has a micro USB does not mean its designed to the specs of your phone, sounds like the battery went berserk after it was charged with that car adapter ... you should not tinker more with the phone and get a new battery and the original charger for it , if you can or are able to ...

Thank you Frank. I already tought nobody will reply to this. So you think if I buy new battery and charger cell phone will start to work?
Car charger was combined, USB cable from Nokia and car adapter is for let's say every cell phone. I have original Samsung Nexus wall charger I got with that cell phone and it charges the battery it just wont turn on the phone. Either PC doesnt want to reconize it, tried with Device Manager to see if is there anything but no. Thank you again for your reply.

No, I'm unable to see battery charging indicator. But when I lick the battery you can feel the electricity. Yea, it's stupid method but it does the job. And when I put it in another phone it says it's almost full 99% to be exact. So battery... Gonna buy a new one.

Alright, i have been sailing in the same boat, my i9250 has not been charging for quite some time.
Now for all most few months the phone is charging without any problem. I suspect the Google Search application could be the reason. I uninstalled all the Google Search application update and kept it to the one come by default. Since then i am able to charge my phone without any problem. The Google search version that i have is V 2.2.9.542574.
Try it out. All the best!!

[Q] USB port damage? Causing it to think it is always charging

Okay, this is a weird one that I researched and researched on the web. I think the problem is somehow related to the USB port. It would seem that my handset thinks it is always charging. I should qualify that statement by saying that with the handset unplugged from the charger and checking the SETTINGS > BATTERY stats it says "0 seconds on the battery" presumably meaning that the handset thinks it has a freshly charged battery and no time has expired since removal of the charger. However, it knows it isn't charging because it also says "89% Not charging". The other weird thing is the handset doesn't screen timeout when unplugged from the charger. That is, I have to hit the lock button to turn the screen off otherwise the 15 second delay doesn't work. I've also checked the developer settings to verify it isn't set to force the screen to stay on. However, the 15 second screen timeout delay works perfectly when the handset is plugged into the charger. After 15 seconds the screen shuts off and the red LED charging light comes on. Lastly, with the handset sitting idle with the screen black if I receive a phone call or text message but just leave the handset sitting there the screen lights up but it never times out after 15 seconds.
Any ideas if this is a USB port problem. I know it sounds like a firmware problem but I've checked just about everything you can think of. I've gone as far as to root my phone, backup all my stuff, then re-flash JellyBean. Speaking of USB port. Has anyone changed one out on a S2 Epic Touch 4G? I know that other S2's have a USB flex cable assembly but I can't seem to find one for this particular handset.

I had tried the toothpick trick that you and others had recommended. In fact it did make a positive difference but I still noticed there were still some strange things going on. I went back a second time but this time with a sewing needle and some magnifier glasses and picked it clean of lint and other junk. Of course with was done with the battery uninstalled. I think I'm back and up and running. We'll see if any of the problems come back. Thanks!

My aunt has a device with the exact same problem. It goes doo-doop like you connected the charger. And you can't turn it off ever because it gets on again. Did you fix it?

Using the toothpick/needle trick went a long way towards getting it to behave properly. Like you said, it was doing the "do-doop" thing intermittently and sometimes it would go into and out of charging mode so fast that unless you were astute you wouldn't have realized that what it did. To figure it out I went into SETTING > BATTERY and observed that the "discharge time" on the battery would typically stay at 3 seconds which told me the phone thought it had been plug into the charger.
For the last two days it would seem that I have fixed the problem. After you carefully clean out the USB port of lint and junk with a toothpick and a magnifying glass or readers you may also want to consider getting a can of compressed air to blast it clean. I'm talking about the kind of compressed air sold at Walmart or Office Depot that is used to clean electronic equipment to blast the dust away.
Let us know if you get it fixed!

I don't know if cleaning the USB port had an effect on battery time but I'm getting relatively awesome battery performance like I've never seen before. After 12 hours and very light use the cell phone still has 81% battery left on it. It used to be sitting at around 30% by this time in the day.

think im having this problem. thinking its a damaged usb port. old battery everytime you stick the battery in or plug it in it thinks its charging. new battery i just ordered does the same too. its still charging so ill see what happens after but i say charging port probably?

I went through the same exact thing...ordered a new battery thinking the original battery was at the end of its life and causing the phone to behave strangely. With the new battery in place the craziness continued. I was thinking the micro USB was damaged and needed to be replace which BTW isn't an easy thing to change out like some of the other Galaxy phones because the S2 uses surface mount solder connections. You'll need very good eyesight and professional soldier skills to do it right without effing it up. Luckily, doing an extensive cleaning of the USB port fixed the problem. You wouldn't think lint would be conductive enough to cause a problem but alas, it does. Use a toothpick and compressed computer cleaner air with the battery removed when you clean it.

I'll have to try with the toothpick later. It's weird when you go into setting and look at battery it knows when it's on charge and when not on charge. But soon as you put a battery in, it turns on by its self but to the charging screen and can't be turned on unless both charger and battery are in.
Will the battery percentage read accurate still I wonder?

Yup, that is exactly what I saw when I was having the problem. Basically what that screen shot is telling me is 13 seconds ago your cell phone made the "doo-doop" sound as a temporary short within the USB port fooled the cell phone into thinking it had the charger plugged in but just as fast as it thought the charger was plugged in the temporary short went away. In fact the "short" may have come and gone so fast as make it so that "doo-doop" isn't even heard. The key here in recognizing the problem is that while your charge may have been unplugged for hours you'll note the number of seconds that have gone by since the cell phone thought it was charging will be somewhere well under 60 seconds or at least that is what I experienced. I have every confidence that you have the same exact problem and you just need to thoroughly clean that USB port of every speck of lint and dust. Also, make sure your charger USB is clean and lastly make sure none of the pins on the USB connectors is bent and that that middle portion on the cell phone USB is right in the middle and not bent up or down in any fashion.

How did that happen?
BTW, don't forget...if the phone doesn't seem to want to power up hold the VOLUME UP and the POWER buttons at the same time for 15 seconds until you get the reboot option.

I'm in the same boat now [emoji22] Just happened a couple nights ago... Phone is plugged in but not charging. Not that big a deal, as I just got some spare batteries and external chargers. But now I've got to be super-cautious when flashing stuff, as I can't just Odin back without working USB

That's what I'm stuck doing now. I'm not gonna be switching roms anymore lol. Had to buy a universal charger for the battery

I had this issue with mine as well. At first it seemed to be the recovery but I reverted to stock unroot and it still happened sometimes shine blue to make it think it was completely charged I know this phone had a lot of hardware issues. And then I took it apart cleaned it and what not. It still happened. So after some time it just stop happening and functioned normally. I am unsure what the problem was or why it happened. The whole time I really couldn't charge my phone at all unless it was by computer only

M9 5.1 update causes discharge while on charger

Since the T-Mobile 5.1 update, my phone charges to full, then begins to discharge while still plugged in. Simply unplugging and plugging back in starts charging again. Is there going to be an update or something else to fix this?
The first screenshot shows that I plugged it in at around 8am. At a bit before 9am, it was full. Then there is that gap. It thinks there is no cell signal. It's plugged in the entire time, and at a bit after noon, I look at it the history and this is what you see.
Then I unplug and plug it back in, and a few minutes later the second screenshot is of the history again.
This particular occurrence was with the included charger. It also happens with the other chargers I have.

Since the T-Mobile 5.1 update, my phone charges to full, then begins to discharge while still plugged in. Simply unplugging and plugging back in starts charging again. Is there going to be an update or something else to fix this?

I recently received 2.11.661.2 from Telus and my HTC provided charger never gets me past 90%,and it drops fast with usage even if still plugged in.
My quick charge charger is fine though.......

I didn't want to do it, but I did a factory reset on my phone. And the problem persists.

Same here, if the charger doesn't have enough push the phone whinges about it and won't turn the screen off, therefore wasting what little precious power you have left..
Dead pixels, scratched screen and now this.. Htc are crap. Sorry i ever bought this phone.
