I have had my galaxy nexus for about 5 months now and today while trying to charge my phone i noticed that it was not charging while being plugged in. Now i did notice that when i powered it off it was charging showing the battery icon with the bolt. Tried factory reset but didnt work, tried changing the battery and that didnt work, and tried the stock cable with the wall adapter that was in the box because its the international version. I have no custom rom just the stock with root access. No clue what to do, anyone out there have this problem on jelly bean?
Encountered this problem on JB too. Factory reset, unroot and back to stock 4.0.4 didn't work. My GN is now with Samsung and their fixing my USB port. Try to have it checked with your carrier.

I don't think it has anything to do with my carrier. Sounds like a driver issue but don't know how to approach it

Hi guys,
Since yesterday my Gnex doesn't get power from the adapter anymore when it's turned on. Only if I shut it down, it will get power.
Also when I connect it to the computer, it says: "device is not recognized".
Can anyone help me?

i don't know, your phone is dying?
those of us who have never experienced that particular behaviour, we need something more.
please provide more information; ac/usb charging or both? other charger/cable? running stock, stock+custom kernel, custom rom? list the apps you have installed. fastcharge y/n? if you turn it on after it begins to charge, does it keep charging? have you tried another battery? how do the pins/usb port on the device look: dirty, bent, any kind of damage?
Before thiis happened, I didnt change much things at my nexus. I use AndroidHD rom for quite a while now, and didnt install any new apps.
I tried several chargers but nothing is working. Only of its off, but even then it says its charging but thats not the case all the time.

reflash stock images if you want, relock bootloader, turn it in for warranty, if you checked usb port state.

The problem is that my pc doesn't recognize the phone as a usb-device anymore, so it will be hard to change it back to stock and locked bootloader. Or do you think there is a way? I would like to here it
I also tried different chargers, but it doesn't change anything unfortunately.
Thnx for trying to help guys, it's appreciated.

I've looked at the post, re-locked the bootloader --> that worked.
Now I want to download the ODIN.tar files for de Odin Mobile app, but I can only find the .tar files voor Verizon models.. I however have a GSM model from a Dutch carrier.
Do you have a link for ODIN.tar file(s) for the GSM version of the GNex?
Mine just started doing this as well.

You're not on your own. I'm having the exact same problem with my Galaxy Nexus. since a couple of days.
Only way I can charge it is by turning the device off. Then while its rebooting plugging it in.
I also have the 3 dot connect docking station. Same problem with that way of charging... So I know it is not the USB thats faulty.
My device is rooted. with superuser permission. no special rom. only a different launcher,
never had any problems with it. and I did not change anything in my phone for 2 weeks.
I have no clue how to relock my bootloader without USB.
Casparovic i have a GSM model too. also from a Dutch carrier Vodafone.
Ill try Jubakuba his guide.
Well, I relocked the bootloader (without usb), but it's still not charging when turned on.
I can't figure out what it is. Also i can't send it to the carrier because it's rooted.
Can someone tell me how to go further?
I have the same issues, I just bought 3 spare batteries, and only 2 of them work on my Nexus. So basically I switch between the original battery and the extra battery I bought and charge them with wireless chargers. Very inconvenient, I hate samsungs absolute garbage quality, never again.... 6 years of a loyal HTC customer, guess this is what I get lol

Having the exact same problem. It won't charge when connected to the AC adapter as well as through USB. Computer doesn't always recognize it either.
It does charge however with my rocketfish car adapter and a BlackBerry ac adapter.
Not sure if this could related to the OS, currently running Cm10 v1.7. Or is it something else?

I have had the same problem running Jellybro and AOKP.
Only way to fix it for me was to go back to stock and wipe everything on the internal storage. Then unlock, root etc.. all the way back to whatever nightly I was running and put all my apps and data back on.
This has happened 3 times now in the past 2 months. I really panicked the first time!!
Also, sometimes I have had an issue with it showing that it was charging when nothing was plugged in! Same method to fix... oh well, the price for being a rom flash addict...
Mine randomly started working again. I've been on cm10 nightlies since they started, never changed the kernel. I also have 2 Hyperion 3800mah batteries and the stick battery. Everything charges like normal now.

Well I haven't been able to unroot my phone so I thought it just take my phone to my carrier and get it Fixed,
There the Tech guy Told me.. that you are alowed to root all nexus phone's. So basicly there is no need to be scared. just take your phone to your carrier and they will fix itt.:good:
My phone (GSM galaxy nexus on aokp JB build 1) was fine till I got a message from GOOGLE MANAGER that I got an update (aokp JB build 22).
I updated and got a Phantom charging problem.
Fix #1: tried fixing permissions (rom manager and CWM)
Fix#2
Wiped thru CWM, and reinstalled the rom and gapps (07/26)
Fix#3:
Tried other gapps (inverted)
No help at all. Can anyone please help. The phone keeps on thinking it's being charged (and waking for no reason). Battery life has gone down the drain.
PS, I had issues with Google home, and the camera before. They are fixed now
EDIT: the problem was not caused by dirt in the port. It now chosen to refuse charging, sometimes. I think the port has shorted

Clean charging port.
Thanks for answering my question. I've cleaned the hell out of the port, and it's kinda odd seeing as this started with installing the rom (without connecting the phone)

Well the problem is in the charging port and not in the rom...I can assure you of that much.
It's hardware related.
Install something else if you're doubtful.
Thanks for the assurance.
I'm open to all ideas, whether on how to clean the port, or another course of action
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Had the same problem and samsung service replaced the charging port.
So clean it. If it doesnt help - bring it to your warranty service.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I truly thank you guys for your replies. The charge port seemed clean, and the issue only started after a rom install, but in the end, IT WAS FROM A DIRTY PORT
I got a needle (don't know what size, but it was 3/10 ml) And cleaned my "clean" port. That fixed it.

Its a pretty-known problem. The USB port got broken. So, here is the only one solution: nearest service center. Its a hardware problem. If you still not sure about it - try to reflash to another custom and check. I'm 100% sure, the problem will exists.
Not the hardware

Just installed aokp for the first time and ran into this issue. I noticed it when I inserted my phone into my desktop dock with the pogo pins so I know with100% certainty, its not the usb port. Happens when I plug it into the usb port also so my guess is it is the rom because it was working fine with the vicious jelly bean rom. Just my input.
You got it right. It got fixed with an update in AOKP

Hi,
I don't actually know if this is ROM related or kernel related or something just wrong with my phone. My phone keeps 'randomly charging' even when the charger isn't plugged in. The status bar icon changes to the lightning one and it says it's charging on the lock screen.
Sometimes the charger doesn't seem to charge the phone till I reboot (It works perfectly with my Nexus 7 and Tab 2).
I'm running the latest CM10 20120930 with Franco kernel (only because I had the problem with the stock kernel and wanted to try another). And yes, I did wipe everything before updating.
If anyone can help, please do. It's really annoying since the screen turns on every time the phone decides to 'wirelessly charge' and runs down my battery.
Thanks for any advice, tips, etc.

There are a lot of topics about this. It's a hardware problem.
I have the same problem, so I bought this USB port replacement http://www.ebay.com/itm/310412314270 and I'm waiting it to arrive so I can change mine... If it works, I'll post it in the General section of this forum.
If your phone is still under warranty, use it, and don't let samsung tell you that is not a manufacturing problem, because it is, there are thousands of people whit the same problem.
Sorry for my bad english.
I've been using the phone since January so I doubt they're gonna listen. Anyways if you're gonna replace the whole port could you make a how-to so anybody who has the same problem could fix it themselves?

as soon as I replace the port, if it works, I'll post a video and some explanation on how to do it.
Had this problem , sent it back to Samsung and they replaced it and sent it back with a broken screen. Poor customer service but they fixed. As people have stated its the USB port , replace it or send it back under warranty

Hey Guys, i got my Nexus here in my hand. I love that phone but mine has a really annoying "bug": If i charge it, it charges normally, everythings fine. But if i unplug it, it says for about 5 minutes that its charging. Okay then, but later, the charging symbol starts to "flash". So it lights up the locked screen and sucks my battery down. I had that issue with all ROMs i ever had on my phone. (Srock 4.0.4, Stock 4.1.2, Parandroid, MIUI, CM10.1).
So im out of ideas. Can someone help pls?
Greets!
BTW, excuse me for my bad english please ;P
Was this issue happening since the time you bought your phone or only recently? Which kernel are you running?
If this is an issue with all Roms I'd pop in a buddies battery if available. If you don't see the problem go away it's got to be a hardware problem = insurance claim if you've got insurance...

My is recognized only in download mode then it find com port's and install driver's, i also flashed the phone and that is what is confusing me.
I heard Samsung is having problems installing drivers through Kies.
This is probably a stupid question, but have you pulled the battery out and put it back in? Had a situation where my phone wouldn't charge above 50%... Pulled battery... Fixed!
SGH-T999 / D2TMO Sketchy.
I fixed this issue by deleting all old drivers, Installing an older Kies and plugging the phone back in while disconnected from the Internet.
When I get home I can db the drivers I use, but I know they Re here on the forums somewhere
