I've had my nexus since November and its been working fine. I upgraded to 4.0.2 about 2 weeks ago when it was pushed to my phone.
Last night, my phone ran down the battery, even while in airplane mode. I've found that it keeps waking itself and it thinks its being charged. The battery icon has the charge icon on now, even though its not plugged in.
Anyone else had this problem? I've tried power off and re-seating the battery, but still the same problem.
Unlock, root, then flash custom rom, can almost guarantee it will fix your problem

Had the same problem couple days ago. Plugging and then unplugging from the charger fixed the icon.
Mabey the new update added the "self charging" feature.. It's defiantly the future but I think it's still in beta testing... Luckily you were one of the few that got the feature! Hehe...
I just like the title to this thread makes it seam like your phone is alive and confused with what's going on lol poor guy .

i had this problem this morning. Screen kept coming on and showing the chargin icon over the battery and on the lock screen and kept waking the device!
I plugged the charger in and out a few times and that seemed to stop it for a few hours. Since then i have flashed the latest build of AOKP and havent had the issue yet... I'll wait and see if it returns now i've said that!
That does sound similar. I plugged in my charger at work and it worked OK for a while, but the problem has returned
You are having this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21840063#post21840063
.. and you are not alone.
It's a hardware problem, and you should RMA your phone or change the USB charging board.
I had the same problem, and temporarilly fixed it several times with unplugging rapidly, half-way insterted plug, toothpick to pick on the USB pinns.. It sometimes worked, but after a while it was permanently broken. I fixed it by changing the USB charging board.. this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150713366355
I had this same issue on the Galaxy S 2. Simple replacement there. Should be same here

I'm having a similar problem with my Galaxy Nexus. The problem comes and goes. Sometimes the problem persists for a few days and then goes away for some time.
My experience:
The phone sometimes thinks it's charging when it's not.
Sometimes it thinks I'm janking the charger out and plugging it in non-stop. (the screen lights up a second after I turn it off. And this can go on for hours).
Either way, I can't charge it.
Things I've noticed:
When plugging it in to a computer it sometimes recognices it as a USB device and the phone also recognices that it had been plugged in, but it wont charge.
Plugging the charger in and out rapidly many times sometimes cause it to start charging for real.
The built-in charging-icon and the 3rd party icon from "Battery indicator" (by Darshan Computing, LCC) don't alway show that it's charging at the same time (could be a problem in the 3rd party app, or a problem in the system).
Rebooting the phone may sometimes cause the battery percentage to show a different value than before reboot.
I've been having this problem since I got the phone. Neither updates nor factory resets has made a difference.
I haven't tried rooting it and installing a custom ROM, and I wont, since I will get a repair/replacement on the warranty.
Either send it in for repair or get a small knife, put it in the charger port under the pin and very gently push down so it moves the pin by a fraction of a mm. This worked for me and was caused by a cheap charging dock from eBay, I fixed and replicated the problem so I know this to be true

My phone has been going insane for the last two days. It will think that it is charging when it isn't plugged in. Sometimes it will cycle between not charging and charging at a rapid rate, causing the screen to turn on and stay on (the screen will normally turn on when plugged in). I've tried various resets, battery pulls, etc. This is not a rooted device. If I pull the battery and then reboot the phone, the battery will be 10-15% lower than when I pulled the battery only a minute earlier. Anyone experience this?
This has been happening to a lot of people. It is indeed a hardware problem. There is a way to fix it, what u need to do it reposition the USB female receiving jack ever so slightly.
1) turn the phone off and take the battery out
2) take a toothpick, knife , pin or whatever will fit into the micro USB slot of the galaxy nexus.
3) VERY VERY slowly make it so that the little shelf like connector is in the middle.
4) connect ur phone and it will work like new. This works for a lot of people. I did this a few hours ago and my phone now charges perfect
RECOMENDATION : when it starts to charge you should restore a stock image and lock the boot loader so that you can get a new phone replaced . This is a way to fix it but this hardware issue shouldve never happened in the first place and it should warrant a return. Let me know what happens!

Agreed.
However, I've detailed re-locking and returning to stock via my guide with a broken USB port if it ever gets to that point for you/anyone.

I don't think "doing this a few hours ago" is really a long enough time to say it works perfectly. The same thing happened to my phone and I have seen several people claim this solution fixes the problem. I tried it and it fixed it for about two days but then it came back, and it won't go away now regardless of what I do with the charging port. I am starting to believe there is no solution but to buy a new phone

Its been 4 Weeks without any problem.
Please try at your risk.
i had the same exact issue try wiping dalvik ,battery stats and cache under recovery, fixed all issued...i think this was caused after using the fast ac charge on francos kernal.
i found a solution.
I had the same problem. at the the begining it didn´t charge. i made hard reset and nothing. i ordered a new battery and nothing. Then i see something different in tee microusb port when i compared it with an xperia x10 port. I realise that the tiny plate inside the port was bended. then with a needle i straighten it, and the charge bolt icon returns to life. But after that some times it comes up without charging conection. Then i found some blog post that said that the "Dock Connector Charging Port Flex Cable Ribbon For Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250" was the problem. I found a guide to disassemble an change that micro usb port, it is really easy, i made in 30 minutes, even been the first time. I bought the replacement part in ebay (ebay.com/itm/-/130656140500?item=130656140500&viewitem=&ViewItem) but after that i found many web stores with it an cheaper prices.

Sorry, I have been having the same issues with my gnex, after it hits full charge the charging indicator will flash on and off on my screen until I reach 90% on my battery then it will quit the rest of the day.. always does it after hitting full charge so please read what I've done and still have the same problem...... I have used multiple batteries, same problem, I've used different chargers, same problem, I even bought that part off ebay and replaced the charge port inside of the phone, same problem.. and I even tried all of this before receiving the jelly bean update, and even after the update I still have the same charging error issue... does anyone know of any other solutions? I've done them all I think.
I had a very similar issue (the phone would charge ONLY if turned off, computer would not recognize the USB device 90% of the time).
Turns off that fuzz and dandruff had accumulated at the bottom of the USB port (you couldn't see it) so i took a needle and carefully pried it out, it was a nice sized ball of stuff that was preventing the USB port from making clean contact with the cable.
Hope that helps

I am stuck in the same boat as you. I have tried almost everything but it seems that this issue keeps persisting. I don't have warranty so it isn't like I can give it in for replacement. I don't know what else is there to do
I'm going insane reading these.
Google is your best friend in the whole world. Your best friend. If you're out of warranty, the best you can do is use a pogo dock, or replace, like take apart your GalNex and replace the port with a part bought from eBay.
Or, if you look at some of the other 99 threads about this, some people fixed theirs by adjusting the port with a screwdriver or something like that. Can't say I recommend that though.

I don't think there is a problem with USB port. I can charge my phone via the USB connection from my laptop, but the same is not possible when I use he same charger with wall unit charging. Also If I reboot my phone then I can even charge it via the wall unit.
It seems something to do with some app or battery temp.....

When my Galaxy Nexus GSM is not plugged in, the battery shows itself as "discharging". Previously this used to be "not charging". I have tried multiple (Jelly Bean) ROMs, different cables, wall and USB chargers. Same problem. The larger issue: my PC no longer recognizes my phone and I have resorted to using AirDroid to transfer files.
Can anyone shed light on this issue?
I have done full wipes, including wiping battery stats.
Mine was always discharging...
And make sure that you got fast charge off if you have that on. That disables MTP capability.
I have exactly the same problem...see my thread...its recent!

I had a similar issue, and then not long after the phone refused to charge. I had to take it to get serviced, and the ended up giving me a refurb instead.
I think it has to do with the temp of the battery, if its too hot and you have it plugged in it will say discharging.

First, don't use a charger other than the original. The different volts mess with the NFC chip and antenna. Try disabling NFC and rebooting. Leave NFC off and try to charge. If that doesn't do it I have another option that might work but I'm CDMA so you would have an extra step to change lines in file.
Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I tried disabling NFC but it had no effect. My phone is the international version (the box was in Polish) which is not warrantied through Samsung USA, so I guess I'm out of luck there as well. I'm just gonna hang in there until the next Nexus phone, I guess.

When will people realize that the difference in voltage won't cause any problems with the phone as long as they're within safe range.
I've been using the charger that came with my G2 (htc) on my nexus for months and have no problems. I would've continued using the original one that came with the nexus but it had an annoying whine to it.

Am using samr original charger and cord. Works fine
I have this same issue
My Galaxy Nexus from Verizon has worked flawlessly for several months now. It updated about 4 days ago to JellyBean 4.1.1 and I have been charging the same two wall chargers, car charger, and USB cables every day since I got the phone. I even was using the USB charger to deploy and debug a simple application I am building around noon today. This evening at about 8 PM while on the wall charger I noticed the charging stopped. No lightening bolt icon, status says Discharging, and I noticed one time that it said Not Charging. Neither of the wall chargers work, nor is it recognized by the laptop using the USB cable. It is at 65% charge and is dropping fast. It seems that no one has a fix for this other than replace the phone.
Very difficult for me to believe that the USB port just went bad using the same chargers every day. Hard to blame JellyBean that has run at least 4 days with no issue even though several sites point to a possible charging issue. I even dialed *#*#4636#*#* and checked the battery status, and it's health was good. I have not rooted or placed anything on this phone that is obscure beyond my simple near "hello world" development apps. I have rebooted, and performed a battery pull with no such luck. With the number of posts pointing to a JellyBean issue, and users experiencing the same issue after the upgrade to 4.1.1 I am leaning towards this being a software issue, but it is interesting at the number of posts saying that the their only fix is a refurb phone replacement from the carrier.
Pretty odd occurrence, and extremely frustrating. As I said the phone worked fine all day today. This just started a few hours ago for me.

OK I have fixed my issue. and it does appear to have been hardware related. I will preface this with you must be very careful not to break your phone with the solution below. I read several posts about using contact cleaner on the USB port, so I looked at the port on the phone and noticed that the "toungue" inside the reciever USB port appeared to be slightly bent down. With the phone off and battery removed I used a needle to wedge under the toungue and bend it up ever so slightly making sure I would not break it. Pluged in the phone and it still did not charge. (That was last night) this morning with the phone at 55% and thinking it was going to need to go back to Verizion I did it again phone off and battery removed only this time a bit more forcefully out of desperation. I definitely moved the "toungue" up and even had a bit of difficulty getting the USB cord to slide back into the connector. But when it did the Phone is charging again. Appearantly I must of jammed the plug into the phone upside down last night when getting into my car and bent the "tongue" in the USB port. Lesson learned, and hope this helps others.
Means the battery has been recharged and discharged to the point were it holds less of the charge. Basically its an older battery, or its been tappered with with, probably a rom using to much ram or pussing the device a bit too far nightly and ported roms could be the cause I say stick to stock kernal unless you really now what to do
Scrap that wrong fourm I think
Hello everyone,
I am currently going through hell with my sph-l710. This all started a few days ago.
My phone refuses to charge sometimes, but the charging light comes on. I have never gotten the phone to charge above around 20%. I took it to sprint. First they said it was a software issue but they wouldn't look at it because i was on a custom rom (Liquidsmooth) and rooted. So I went home and did a reflash of md4 via odin.
This didn't fix the issue.
So I went back in. This time, they said it was the battery. So I bought a brand new battery.
That didn't help the issue.
So I went back in, and they said they had to keep in for an hour to see if I simply needed a new phone. When I came back, they said it worked fine on multiple chargers and they got it up to 56%. So I came back home thinking maybe they were just covering their asses for the previous times they couldn't figure it out.
That didn't help the issue.
It once again wouldn't charge and while I was bored I flashed cleanbean v4.0. Still not charging properly. I noticed that while it was plugged into my PC, it got up to like 30% so I got excited, but when I rebooted the phone after unplugging it, it went down to 17% immediately.
I'm literally pulling my hair out over this. I have used my mom's charger for her htc evo and that won't charge it either.
Can someone pelase tell me what in the world is wrong with my phone??
Cheers
The charger, do not use a charger for HTC, make sure you use the charger that came with the phone. USB charging from the computer is slow. But your wall charger should have it fully charged within an hour. If not then your charger is bad or the cable is bad.

Check the port on the phone for pocket fuzz, Try a different usb cable, try a different charger. It's likely one of these is the problem. If not, is your phone running hot? If so, maybe an app on the phone is drawing so much current that the charger can't keep up. What does the battery usage display in settings say? Does it show something eating up battery that shouldn't be?

I used to think the same thing, but when I use my Kindle's charger or my old Evo 4G's charger, my phone doesn't charge, it just maintains the same level. My Palm Pre's charger, though, works like a charge. The Funkiest Ed wasn't saying that only Samsung chargers would work, but that it's likely the charger doesn't work anymore.
Experiencing some frustration with the fast charging option. I attach the charger, and no notification pops up saying "Fast Charger Connected"... but in Power Savings settings it says Charging USBicon1.png with the fast charging box checked but showing grey.
Used the same charger and cord in the same outlet earlier in the day and the fast charger works without problem. Been tracking this issue for two days and cannot figure out the variables creating the problem.
Tried different fast charger, different cables, different ports, cleaned out the port with alcohol and qtips....
Anyone else suffering the same problem?
Any insights that might lead to a solution?
Are you sure that the phone is seeing that it's being charged by AC and not USB? It may sound like a stupid question but my Note 4 recently suddenly started charging as if I'm connected to USB rather than AC, even though I'm using the same fast charger that came with my phone, and it does this about 40-50% of the time. I think it has to do with the cable I'm using, the one that came with the phone so it's 14 months old, but I'm not positive. It could be the port on the phone, which is the reason I'm mentioning it since you said you tried different cables, fast chargers, etc. I haven't noticed whether it happens when charging in the car since I don't do that much. This happened with one of my older phones also after I'd had it for a year or more, not sure if it was the S3 or Evo 3D, and back then I think it happened with any cable or charger I tried.
When this happens, I need to unplug the cable and plug it back in, sometimes it takes 4 or 5 times to get it to show as AC with fast charging.

I'm experiencing the same symptoms on two different Sprint Galaxy Note 4. At this point i'm pretty sure that is a software issue since now it's two different phones. I have tried 4 different chargers (one that was not mine) and factory reset one of them. Not sure what self updating or background self updating app (if any) could cause this problem. This is frustrating, it's like sprint and samsung purposely push software to make the phone suck and for me to update..

I was experiencing this on both of my phones before the update on the 7th of Dec got pushed out..
I'm rooted, running a custom ROM called Hybrid X 3.0 which is still OG5. This problem suddenly started out of nowhere and I hadn't changed my ROM so that's why I figured it must be hardware. Now I don't know. Makes me wonder if they could've put a kind of self-destruct code in the software to force us to get new phones. The ROM I'm running is based off of stock Samsung software after all.
I wonder if it would happen on a Cyanogen based ROM. I don't use them because I rely on my S pen too much to use AOSP.
Edit: Is anyone else seeing that their phone shows its charging as USB? Just curious.

Still experiencing the same thing. At this point I don't know what or who I should blame.
I myself was having tons of freeze issues and random reboots after the update on my completely stock phone. Not seeing the charging problem but since installing clean master and cm anti virus, issues were found and have since stopped. I definitely think there is something wrong with the latest update and could just be affecting people in different ways. I would maybe try clean master or something similar and see if your phone could just be infected with something. Might just have something to do with the latest "security" update. It can't hurt to try it anyway.

Stilll experiencing the same thing. I have factory reset several times, bought a new charger and still nothing. Must be a software issue. that took place in the background....
Is anyone else experiencing this?
