Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my Galaxy Nexus (Running JB 4.1.1 on takju).The phone will randomly turn on the screen on for a second or two then turn it off, over and over again. At one point it consumed 40% battery in like 2 hours. I installed Juice Defender Ultimate and it seemed to stop it for a while until today when it started a few minutes ago. The activity log says on JuiceDefender just says the time and screen on (user present)
Does anybody have a clue of what might be happening? Thanks for you help
You probably have a dirty USB port. Its happened to me and many others. The phone thinks its charging so it wakes up.
Turn it off and pull the battery. Try to clean out the port with a toothpick or another small tool. Make sure the USB pin is straight.
Hopefully after a reboot it will be back to normal.

Thanks for the quick response, I'm about to try that out. Hopefully it works!
I tried cleaning it out with a toothpick but it didn't help that much, it started to do it again, then it stopped and now it started again. For the straightness of the USB pin, how is it supposed to look it? Is there anything else I can do? I'll try to clean it a bit more right now

As for the USB pin just make sure it comes straight out and not bent down or up.
Good luck!

Thanks for your help, I cleaned it out again and when I turned the phone on it began again for a minute and now it has stopped. Hopefully it'll stop doing it again.
So after I cleaned out the usb port and I even used rubbing alcohol to clean it. I also straightened out the usb pin, I am still having issues with the screen turning on and off on its own. Is there anything else that could be causing this problem for me?

Thanks, I installed it and hopefully it might give some answers. Also, as I am typing this up, the screen will still turn on and off by itself even when it's plugged in and currently charging. It's really frustrating.

I dont know what to do. My phone was on charge overnight. When I woke up it was HHOOTT!! I took the battery out, and cooled everything off but when I tried to restart it, all i get is a vibaration but doesnt turn on. I plugged it back into the wall and the battery charging symbol lookes like its about to come up but it doesnt. Really need help. Id really appreciate it.

How old/new is the phone? I hope you have warranty. If not, you might try to Odin a stock image on to it. If you can't go into download mode, try the jig solution.
You may had a bad flash. Hopefully this advice will help.

Take bat out, put back in, hold button to turn on, as soon as it starts to turn on, plug into charger. Just one of MANY known bugs for AOKP. Next time read, read, read and please post in Q&A section. Hope this helps.

I see your on AOKP and it doesn't do well with charging while switched off. Unplug it and hold the power button until it reboots. . Be patient and hold the button till it reboots.

FYI holding the power button for half a minute is the same as a battery pull just easier than a case and back cover removal ..

Yeah but in cases like this I just feel its easier to start with a device that you know for sure is off and you know for sure when it's turning on so you can pop the charger in there. C'est la vie.

Unfortunetly it is a hardware problem because I dropped my phone last month and the screen was turning on automaticly so I sent it to samsung to repair it.
It happened on my s2 and so I sold it.

even with the screen like that, you can try to connect it to the pc to unroot through adb, and if that doesnt work try flashing stock images with fastboot before sending it in
if none work, just send it like that to samsung or whoever

Its an hardware issue brother. Try using a toothpick or any small pin to lift the middle part inside the charging port. Do it only of ur phone is not under warranty. Or else just ask for a replacement. The google/samsung guys have acknowledged this problem and m sure u wont have any problem in getting a replacement.
And in the meanwhile use only the stock charger which came with the phone. Do not switch between the usb cables. Hope it helps

Thank you so much!
pushing up the middle pin fixed the problem for me!
i think i pulled out my phone out of the charger the wrong way bending the pin downwards. :victory:

Happened to me also! But I also moved to pin and it's fixed now! Definitely not a rooting problem.
Hey XDA,
For a little while now, whenever I unplug my phone, it doesn't realize that is not charging for about 5 seconds or so. I find this pretty strange, does anyone know why this happens, and a possible way to fix it?

I'm actually not rooted at all. Just stock. And I haven't, I'll try it.
I've seen that happen with mine, also the reverse - not recognizing it's been plugged in for a few seconds. No problem - don't worry about it.

I've had the same problem twice. The first time I tried the old "Jimmy the pon" trick, where I bent the USB pin gently upwards so that it made better contact with the charger. It fixed it and was fine for a while, but the problem has returned and no amount of bending of the pin helps. Feels like a hardware issue that needs a replacement. Don't think that's doable.

UPDATE: Turns out it was do-able; got the charging pin as well as the usb cable replaced, and no more charging problems. Good as new!
My phone isn't charging at all.
In an attempt to charge, I turned it off and plugged in the charger. The charging animation did come up bit it would keep on coming up (like it's in a loop) and my phone still won't actually charge.
PC wasn't recognizing the phone either. Was saying that the USB device is not recognized.
I tried pushing up the metal inside the USB slot too. Not working. Maybe I haven't done that correctly.
What exactly could be the issue? The fact that the screen shows the charging animation when phone is off makes me feel that the USB slot may not really be faulty. But even though the animation comes, it vanishes before it should be complete (ie it vanishes before the battery icon is filled with white) and starts the animation from the beginning.
For ****s, flash the stock image, but it really sounds like faulty.... Something, try other USB bricks and cables.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Tried different cables. It's the same.
I can't flash the factory image either but my battery is completely dead now and I need to charge it to boot the phone up. And to be honest, I don't think flashing stock will really help.
had this issue as well, ended up just getting a replacement. Figured it was hardware issue. couldn't ever get it fixed
Wow!! Suddenly everything is working. Just kept the phone idle in the drawer with the battery taken out for around 30 minutes. Connected the charger and it's working fine.
Even though is temporarily fixed. Its a USB port problem. Mine has the same. I just use an external charger.

The actual problem is the mid board. I had that same problem. what you need to do is get the mid board replace inside of the phone.

Yep, I am facing the same and this issue seems to be going around even for Nexus 4. The problem lies around 4.3 update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44572078#post44572078
Try these steps but none of them help. The only way to charge your phone at the moment is to switch it off, wait a few seconds, connect charger and see that charging animation starts. Now you can switch on the phone and the phone almost everytime continues charging.
I have no idea what causes this and I hope someone can pin the fault somewhere...but no cigar so far.

I think the contrary. It is software issue. Nexus 4 users are worst effected by it. And no one seems to have a clue. Its just known that it is restricted to 4.3 only.

There are half a dozen more and most of the people have given up.
I downgraded to 4.2.2 and still, the phone doesn't charge. Its a pain in the arse.
I guess I should just go back to 4.3 and wait for a fix since downgrading didn't fix the issue, this is a bummer to say the least

This may be a dumb question but would this have anything to do with not having the 4.3 boot loader??? I didn't install it, my understanding was it wasn't necessary on the Verizon gnex

OK update I flashed back to 4.3 and went into storage and unchecked "connect as media device” and so far it is charging OK from all sources, only problem I still have is the the charging indicator still flashes on and of when unplugged

OK here is an update, I have cleaned out my port with a small screwdriver from an eyeglass repair kit, used some compressed air and a little bit of electrical contact cleaner and gently raised up the charging port a bit ( to where it was originally, mine was bent down a bit ) and bam! So far its working again like a charm
