Hi everyone (and sorry for my bad english) !
Since some days my GSM Galaxy Nexus is anoying me with a problem I can't understand.
At random moments, my GN thinks he is charging but he isn't even plugged !
The indicator in the notification bar shows the battery is in charge and all the phone believes he is charging.
Other problème, the charging indicatore comes and goes again and again and again, so the scree goes on everytime the GN is "plugged in".
My battery goes down at the speed of light this way ...
I tried to wipe, uninstall potential apps that could cause the issue, changing rom, changing kernel ... It still happening but not every time. Often it comes when the battery is under 50% or arround. I also have battery drops when I reboot the phone, like if the battery wasn't correctly calibrate ...
If I reboot the phone, the problem still here, if i get the battery off and then put it back and reboot the phone it works normaly ... for a indeterminate time ...
This problem make me crazy, is anyone got a solution ?
Thanks for all.
Anyone can help please ?
I would definitely demand a replacement battery. For me it seems like the battery is broken, therefore it's a warranty issue. If the problem still exists, it must be the hardware of the phone itself. I don't think it's a software problem, since you wiped, changed rom and even the kernel.
So demand a replacement of the battery!
Thanks for your answer ! I'll try this but I don't think samsung customer support will send me a replacement battery like that, they will ask me to send back the phone I think.
I recently had the same issue... here's what fixed it for me. I took the battery out and left the phone plugged into the outlet. Let it sit. I then installed the battery and let it finish its charge while the phone was off. I then took the battery out, unplugged the charger from the phone, and reinserted battery. Power on, VOILA! Mine was back to normal. Hope this helps.
Thanks for helping ! I'll try this
I just saw that I'm not alone in this case : http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=23789
This issue is considerated as a medium priority, I hope for a fix !
I have the exact same problem, and have also commented on the issue at code.google.com. I have also tried "everything". Changed ROM, kernel, wiped battery stat, even let it fully charge while off. Still the same problem where it show as charging in notification bar when unplugged.. and when it have drained to below 50% or so, it start to flicked between charging and not-charging and drains even faster.
After checking CPU Spy it tells me that the phone never goes to sleep, this causes the battery to only last about 12-14 hours by itself..
I have also tryed to open the phone and clean the connector, but it did not fix it. One thing that is strange, is if I pry a toot stick or similar in the micro-usb-connector to press the connector plate (inside the micro-usb-connector) down with the phone faced up, it actually stops to flicker and stays not-charging.

Same problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379478 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21031287#post21031287
I have the same problem, and it make my crazy.
I bought the phone about month ago and this problem came in the second week.
I plugged my phone up to my car charger omw home for lunch and the stupid charging issue started to happen all over again... I had to do the whole thing over again. Remove otterbox, back shell, battery, and put it all back together. I'm really trying to avoid swapping the phone out with verizon. With the way it's looking, I'm about to call and hassle a VZW CSR and get me an instant swap in the morning. This is unacceptable SAMSUNG. Bad thing is, it must be common with Smsg phones, as I found 5 other devices of theirs that seemed to have the same problem Nexus S and Fascinate being two of them.
Same issue here as well, with the battery icon showing the charging bolt despite not being plugged in.
This will happen when the phone is not in use, and ill notice the screen flash on for a moment.
I tried the solution offered in this thread, only to have the symptom return just hours after powering the phone back on, and w/o being plugged back into another charger.
Same here, the solution didn't work for me but push the conector down with a toothpick seems to work for me ... for the moment.
So it seems to be a hardware problem of the device !
I have now ordered a new USB connector board to see if that fixes it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150713366355
Will report back.

When did you buy your phones? This could be a problem on early batches.
Could you see what part number you have on the actual USB connector?
I see that on this replacement board the number is 1H13D, while my number is 1J10F.

Hey, strong work! You might diagnose this thing before Google does. Keep us posted.
I'm experiencing this too, I did have it go away for about a week, but now it's back. I"m not looking forward to RMAing it, because I ordered it from the US and I'm in the Caribbean. I'm hoping the USB board replacement will work - waiting to see the results.
So glad I finally found this thread....
This started happening to me Friday night. First thing I noticed was while I was out the battery symbol had the lightning bolt in it as if it was charging, but it wasn't.
Long story short, nothing I do is able to charge the phone, both while the phone is on and while the phone is off) and it's REALLY pissing me off. The only response I can get from the phone is when it's off, it keeps looping over the two battery animations and acts like it's charging, but it's really not.
In all my playing around with it I somehow got it to charge to 40% yesterday. The only thing I can say for certain was that the phone was plugged in while I was trying to boot it up and when it shut off I didn't see the battery charging animations so I left it alone for a little bit before I checked it out and was surprised to see it charged a bit.
Today I was able to have it happen again and got the battery to 60%. This time I Started from the bootloader and again, when it turned off, I didn't see the battery animation.
I was able to reproduce this again just now by going into the bootloader and just choosing the option to power it off. Will report back in a little while to let you know if it charged past 60% after doing that.
Edit: powering off from the bootloader did not charge the phone. I accidentally pulled the battery and it went from 60% to 37% when I turned it back on. I think there is something screwy with my battery. Does anyone know if the regular Verizon battery fits in the GSM version?
I've got at least a similar issue, but managed to get a fix working (at least for now). I've had the phone for about 2.5 hours now. I got it with around 50% charge, after 1.5 hours, it was at 24% so I went to charge it. Tried the included USB cable to my Windows 7 PC, it tried to install drivers, the install failed. The battery was labeled as still discharging and the unlock screen told me to charge the battery.
I proceeded to try the samsung charging head thing with the original cable in one outlet, then in two more - same result, no charging indicated. Tried with a brand new micro USB cable and had no results. Tried the other cable with the PC. I read around on the issue a bit and found this thread, since people were saying it could be software related, I figured I would power down the device and try again.
I powered down the phone while it was disconnected from USB. I then plugged it into the USB cable connected to my computer. My PC then recognized the device and installed the drivers correctly, the bolt over the battery icon appeared on the Galaxy Nexus's screen. I let the screen turn off then woke it again, the battery charging animation was going. I booted the device while connected to USB. Now in the OS it says the battery is charging and it was charging from about 42% - so I think the actual battery power was not being properly reported before the reboot and when the charging problems were happening.
I'm hoping this has set it to work, but if something else happens, I'll post here again.

I've had the phone for over a month now and never had any issues. I've been trying to plug into a Mac so drivers aren't an issue (I know from previous phones that in Windows the phone wouldn't charge until the right drivers were installed).
There's definitely something very wrong w/ the phone and I fear it's likely a hardware issue, as even when the phone is off it won't charge (but acts kind of like it is).
Right now the only surefire way for me to charge my phone is let it die all the way down and keep trying to boot it up until it dies during a boot before the OS comes up (at which point it'll charge).
For what it's worth I fixed the phone on Monday. I stuck a wooden stir stick from work in the usb port and pushed down on the plate inside ever so slightly. I'd seen this suggestion from a few places online, but I was pretty skeptical. Well, much to my surprise it started charging!
I quickly got it back to it's stock state and re-locked the booloader in case I end up needing to send the phone back to Sammy if the problem happens again.
So far so good, but I've been very careful when plugging and unplugging the usb cord.
I think it's important to keep the OP's issue in mind, because I'm pretty sure there are two different issues here.
1)Many of us have an issue were the phone shows it's charging WHILE UNPLUGGED, causing the screen to flick on repeatedly. This may/may not be accompanied by a charging issues - in my case it isn't.
2)A second issue where owners have problems charging their phones (but never experience the charging while unplugged bug).
I think the intent of this thread is to track (1). I've never heard of the toothpick issue helping those experiencing (1).
How are people pushing the usb plate down, any pictures?
My Gnex, which I've had since March 2012, stopped charging.
I got a new battery, it didn't help
I got and replaced the daughterboard responsible for USB connections, and it STILL won't charge
I flashed complete stock android + recovery, nothing
Anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? I just want to be able to use my phone for a few more months till the Nexus 5 comes out!!!

I had this issue and only replaced the USB port on the bottom, and now it works.
Unfortunately that didn't fix mine. Computer can still see it, but it will not charge using any battery/cable/port combination
I had to change my main board

Same problem, but I haven't reflashed or done any sort of recovery. Problem first occured a few months ago after latest 4.3.0 update. Phone would only charge when plugged to USB or phone off. After a few hours the problem fixed itself. The only thing I did was revert back to stock launcher since it seemed like my custom launcher was using way too much memory at boot. Rebooted and the phone was charging. But honestly I think it was just a coincidence. Luck.
Thought the problem was gone but it happened again two days ago. I let my phone run dry (didn't have anywhere to charge). Got home plugged it in and it charged when off but not when booted. I have concluded it's software related. Chargers and USB cables all work, my different batteries work and micro usb port is clean. Device will charge when connected to PC in most modes but PTP works best (don't know why). PC doesn't regognize device however so I can't access it.
What fixed my problem was installing Wugs Toolkit for Nexus. I don't know why but it seems like when it was installing all the different components to communicate with my device it got it to work again. My device was connected to the PC during the install and suddenly rebooted by itself. After that everything was working perfectly.
Sadly I forgot to charge my phone overnight and it ran dry again and today I'm having the same problem again. Looking for a definitive fix, any suggestions are welcome.

My computer detects it as "Unkown device", but most often it will charge in PTP mode. Also, leave it connected to the PC for about 5 minutes. That's how long it takes for mine to start charging sometimes. This is just a temporary solution to actually charge the battery, but I'm sure we'll find the problem
Nope, mine's not charging while off or in PTP mode...

That really sucks, I wish there was a way I could help.. For the time being you could buy an external battery charger (not expensive), but that means having to take out the battery every night Otherwise there is always the hardware options like changing the USB port or the main board. Have you tried pushing the tongue inside the micro usb port up towards the middle? This is a known issue on the GNex and causes connection problems (because the slot is badly engineered)
There's one more thing I'd like you to try. Plugg your phone in through usb to any computer. On your nexus go to the dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* this will take you to the testing menu. Select "Battery information" and tell me what the top 2 lines say. When I'm plugged in with the wall charger it just says "Not charging" and "Unplugged". However when I connect through usb I get "Not charging" and "AC" or if I'm lucky "Charging" and "AC" which shows that the phone detects some sort of input.
Some background:
Went from my dorm to get my car ~10 minute bike ride, no problem.
Get in the car, plug 3.5mm headphone jack that's connected to the radio to listen to the speakers in the car. I'm driving and trying to change songs on Spotify and my phone randomly shuts off.
So I pulled the battery and waited like 5 minutes.
Now, all I can muster from the phone is the vibration when the battery is inserted and without the battery in plugging the phone into the wall adapter and getting the red LED for about 3 seconds.
... That's about it....

If It wont go into TWRP or download mode then it is bricked. I know because it just happened too mine. If you have a warranty then use it as much as you can. I tried too fix my phone as much as I can and I have the T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH T999 model and I am paying 10.00$ a month so I am all good. So we are all having the same problem bro so just do what ever you can too get it working again or get a new one.

These are the two different types of bricks that you can encounter, soft brick = recoverable without professional repair; hard brick = not recoverable, it's basically a paper weight

This is not a Brick. I have seen this one too many times with my phone. All you need to do is plug into the Wall and wait for half an hour. Then try to turn it on just as usual. It most likely will. Once it does, let it charge fully before you unplug.
This happens when the Phone Battery Circuit Trips when the battery is too low. Its trying to protect the battery from being drain absolutely completely. LI-ION batteries don't like being 100 % drained.
If charging the battery as recommended doesn't work (In which I don't think it will) then this is a brick sad to say...
The vibrate + 3 second red LED is an indication that it is booting into QHSUSB_DLOAD mode (which if you plug it into your computer that is what it will try to install)
Fortunately if you have the time you can recover your phone by following my instructions here

I already made a switch to a Note 3 (my wallet hates me...) but I will definitely take a look at this guide when I get the chance, thank you!
As a side note, I've been sitting around doing battery pulls and trying to boot the device into recovery or download mode.
I've actually had some luck and the device was able to boot into download/recovery mode, however, it would turn off after a couple of seconds.
When you put the battery back in, does it try to turn on on its own?

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
As the typical, my phone was on the charger next to the bed, woke up this morning with the phone unable to turn on. I tried a different charger thinking maybe my original failed, or became unplugged overnight. No dice, same when I plug the phone into my PC with the included cable, still nothing. I did however install Magisk v16 last night, but after the restart the device worked just fine until I went to bed. Any help here would be great.
I read somewhere where a guy addressed an iphone not turning on issue, which he said was also a possibility on android. He said that if the phone doesn't turn on or doesn't even charge you need to unplug and replug the charger repeatedly, for up to 20 minutes. That may have been an exaggeration for time, but he sounded sincere with his post. Had something to do with a faulty charging firmware/hardware which would fail if the charge was really really low, beyond even it working correctly. So plugging in and out repeatedly would be like jumpstarting a car.

Weird, I clicked submit but the post never went through.
Long story short, someone said that if it's a problem with charging, you may be able to jumpstart your charging problem by repeatedly unplugging and replugging the charging cable. May take minutes, the guy said 20 minutes. Not sure how real this was but he sounded sincere.
I had the same problem last night. from what i can tell it was a bad OTA. I had to RMA the phone back.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Magisk v16 in my case. It causes a bootloop on my Pixel C.
Well, I dunno why, but I was able to get the phone to power up in bootloader, after checking battery in Recovery (at 100%), I booted the phone into Android as if nothing happened. I left the phone connected to my PC all day, but it didn't seem to work immediately after I got home, so I dunno what happened.
Mine died this past Saturday.. it was on, I had taken a call not long before.. got out to my jeep to leave, went to put it in the dash mount and realized it was off.. no amount of connecting/reconnecting, button combos, ... just won't power on.. and of course it is out of warranty, so basically G* told me too bad.
Damn
that happened to me too, the only way is to try hard resetting it or getting your phone into DFU Mode. You can follow along this link to get detailed answer of your problem. https://techbytex.com/iphone-stuck-on-apple-logo-fix-iphone-not-turning-on-after-apple-logo/
