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,

Forgive me if this is the wrong forum for this but today I was just playing a game on phone when it just crashed,
I thought no big deal I'll just reboot so went to reboot, however it just went into a bootloop and would not reboot. Then I thought ok CWR but I could not boot into this. I then decided to use adb mode to flash back to stock. However in this process adb froze and would not respond anymore and kind of had a blue tearing around everything on the screen. I ended up having to pull the battery.
Now however the phone won't respond at all, Won't turn on, won't go into download mode or anything. I can get my computer and laptop to regonize it when I plug it on with no battery but just says searching for driver for OMAP 4440 then fails. I'm pretty sure I have bricked it and am quite sad. Just looking for confirmation.
Its still alive, I'm pretty sure someone with a bit more knowledge will stop by and help you, but it appears to just be a soft brick.

Not connected to PC - no ADB, no ODIN. Plus, his phone failed while playing game (under heavy load) which gives me a reason to think it's a hardware fault. I would say last chance is to try USB Jig.
If you can get to the bootloader, you should be able to flash a stock Google image

It's a hard brick, mate...
How to fix?:
take the back cover off your phone!
Remove battery, then plug in via USB (computer)
Leave for 3 hours!!! (With battery still unplugged) This should, in a way, "reset" your phone.
Once the three hours are over, plug in battery, and unplug USB.
Press PWR+VOL Down
Wait untill hpone boots into Odin mode then flashstock firmware from Samsung website.I
If this doesn't work, then I'd send it to Mobile Tech Videos, they kann unbrick it via JTAG...
Let me know if it worked, pleasse

He didn't mean playing, as in games. He meant playing around with his phone, root etc....
Thanks for the advice guys, gives me a small amount of hope. I will try leaving it plugged into my computer for 3 hours + and see what happens. Will post back with results.
Otherwise I may try get my hands on a jig. Would it be the same one from the Galaxy SII?
It worked? I'll explain you what happened to me:
I was playing for 2 hours on the game cartoon wars. After that, the phone was a little hot, I went to the desktop and locked the phone. 20 minutes later, I try to unlock the phone and I see the Google logo, and nothing responds. I pulled out the battery several times, tried to enter recovery, fastboot, normal boot. Always freezes. Stock 100%, the mobile has one week.... I think I will have to send it to the SAT....
I have my old HTC magic awaiting me, I gave my galaxy S to my sister...
Brick is such a misused word...
hmm
well if your running with verizon, which i doubt many of you are (prob using the GSM Gnex) you could just as easily bring it to them, lie, and theyll replace your phone. had a droid X, cracked the screen, told verizon it had a hardware fault, and they replaced it with no questions. verizon employees are pretty stupid

You are a horrible person and one of the reasons why decent, hardworking people can't have nice things.
So none of the methods suggested have work so looks like I'm going to have to get a Jig and hope that will do the trick otherwise I'm doomed I think.
when you guys say jig do you mean using resistors on the micro usb port to boot like with the old captivate? i still have the resistors mirco usb plug for that phone, it saved me from a hard brick a few times.

Yup.
Hi,
My friend's Galaxy Nexus seems to have a damaged USB port (it rarely charges and will not connect to a PC via Android, or fastboot).
It is unlocked running AOKP and I was wondering, what is the best course of action for a warranty return?
Remember, I cannot use adb or fastboot via USB as it WILL NOT connect.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Disable "Fast Charge" in the options. (I forget where in the menu's it is, probably Rom Control, maybe Developer Options... it's in there somewhere though.)
That may do it... or it may not. lol

Nope, I thought that might be the problem at first too, but it is't even recognized in fastboot, Windows states that a USB device has malfunctioned, so I'm fairly certain it's the port.
Basically I want to know if there is any way to revert to stock without the use of a USB cable.
Just checking, but have they tried using a different USB port on their computer?

It's most probably a faulty USB port, see http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23789
To fix it you need to replace the USB charging board, so you should probably advise your friend to try to return it. It should be a warranty case.
Hi guys, thanks for the responses, I have tried using different cables and computers, including my own (I have a galaxy nexus as well) and it all has the same problem. We haven't found a way to get adb to function at all so he's gonna try to send it away through the carrier (so he gets a loaner phone).
Do you think it will go through under warranty even though it's unlocked with a custom ROM?
It's a known hardware issue so it should surely be a warranty case even if unlocked and with a custom rom, if they don't accept Samsung has really become an ass.

Asses or not, it's clearly been said that unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty. I fail to see how that actually would matter on a phone where one simple command can unlock it.

I've searched & searched thru XDA without any luck or finding someone with a similar situation.
My GNEX is unlocked, rooted & running AOKP 36.
I hung up the phone after a call...locked it...put it in my pocket...took it out a few minutes later and the phone would not turn on. My battery was over 50%, so i thought i pocket-powered the phone down.
The phone does not boot into any mode. I've tried them all. It is not recognized by my Mac or PC. Here are the things i've done so far: Battery pull. Charge overnight. Removed battery overnight. I bought a new battery & i'm still having the same problem.
Any ideas before i call Verizon and take the loss? I would really like to recover my pictures & videos.
Thanks in advance.
So you have tried to boot into recovery by holding down power and the volume buttons?
If not try this to get to recovery to do a restore.

I bought a new battery from Verizon and tried it, but its still unresponsive. I charged both batteries overnight and nothing happens.
I've held all buttons for several minutes with both batteries, but nothing happens. It wont boot and it won't boot into recovery/bootloader/hard reset menu, etc (android with stomach open LOL)
On a few occasions, when i connect to my PC, it says new hardware detected OMAP 4440 (or something like that) & asks to install drivers. I have the Gnex toolkit, but the program does NOT detect my phone.
Thanks for the replies.

My Nexus is from Verizon & the tutorial you linked is for the GSM version. Do you think it matters?
I will still give it a shot. Thanks!
Did you check the pin area where the battery connects? Are the pins in good condition or any small foreign object around them?
If you're careful you can *maybe* odin it back to stock (you've already lost the pics tho).
Look in the dev area for any odin threads.....links to files and stuff are in there.

tried to conect to pc, the device is not recognized..
cant power on with the charger plugged in..tried another charger, no success
meanwhile i'm trying to put the battery on an external charger to see if its an issue with the battery itself..
i'm starting to think that my nexus is dead..
please if someone cound help me, it would be much appreciated. thx in advance!!!

So it doesn't vibrate or anything? You can't get into bootloader? No Odin?
If no, then try OMAP flashing. I never did it, so I don't quite know about it, but apparently this saved some good amount of people with the hard bricking.

five minutes later ,on a last ditch effort, pushed the pwer button once more and..FINALLY ! the thing wakes up..booted normaly, like nothing happened.
today when the battery runs out again(on about 2 %) i turned it off and connected the usb cable to charge in my work's pc..now again the same thing happens, phone is dead again. tried with 2 different cables..battery is already in the external charger, gonna try again tomorrow..
starting to think the problem is in the usb connector or the battery itself..but at least my biggest fear(fried phone) seems less likely

Yeah, this really apears to be the most logical source of the issue..such a shame, i was really having a great time with this phone.
Re-inserted the battery fully charged and it's not turning on, tried 50x times alrealdy.
gonna call samsung later and see what will unfold..i'´ll post an update as soon as this situation is sorted out.
So I updated my phone from CM10.1.0 to CM10.1.2 today. I used the updating feature found in settings.
Everything seemed to go well, the rom updated, phone rebooted, and 140 or so apps updated. Got to home screen and everything works fine. About 5 mins later the phone shuts down. I turn my phone on again, 1 app updates, and I get the home screen. I checked my email and such and put my phone in my pocket. About 5 mins later I notice my phone has turned off again, cept this time now it won't come back on :/
I've searched google and some people point to the battery being the culprit.
http://www.sebertech.com/2013/03/sam...-problems.html Issue #16
and
http://forums.androidcentral.com/spr...turn-help.html
Both say to remove battery, plug the phone in, watch for the charging light to come on, then reinsert the battery. This doesnt work either.
If I take my battery out and plug in the charger, the charging light does come on. If I hold the power button down in this state after a few seconds the light will turn off until I release the power button. With the light on and after reinserting the battery the light goes back out after a few seconds. I just went and got a new battery, but thats not working either :/ I havent been able to boot into recovery mode or download mode.
If the update bricked my phone would it turn on and work just fine before dying? I used a data connection just fine after the update.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
0.e pages not found, derp.
The rom shouldn't be an issue at all because CMTeam... Why would they do such a thing.
When you updated from 1.0 to 1.2 did you:
Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache before you updated.
reset permissions via Custom Recovery after update?
I saw a few people with S3's that went through exactly the same problem but it turns out the phone's main-board was fried because of a corrupted NAND right after a flash.
If there's no haptic feedback or led when you try to turn on the phone ( With a battery ), it's a possible brick but its not super-bricked.
If you put a usb / charger on the phone with no battery in it and it indicates a red LED. There is a possible 50/50 you can restore it but
it'll cost around some 40-60 bucks for having it JTAGGED.
If there is no LED when the phone's plugged to a charger wall port / USB via computer with no battery.
It is completely dead and you'd wanna send that in to get a brand new phone.
It just looks like you need it JTAG Repaired.
Hopefully others would have a better and possible way of finding what happened. Because mines would be a last resort
type of thing and its the only thing I know when the SIII Bricks after completely doing a clean flash or if the phone ends up dying
for no reason after a flash.

You claim it booted up after the flash and everything worked, so it can't be that you flashed a cm rom for a different device. It doesn't even attempt the boot splash?
Have you tried putting the battery in and plugging the charger for several hours? Could just be a bad usb port and or bad charger cable and your device simply is out of power. Find a different cable or charger all together and try see if anyone has a similar phone that you can try their battery in your phone.

Yeh, the fact that it started fine twice is what is baffling me. Though it did turn itself off after a few mins both times.
Yeh, I plugged the charger in overnight last night just in case. I took it to the sprint store where the guy took out my battery and tested it, he said it was bad and that was the issue. As of now I've tried 4 different batteries. My own, a new one I bought and fully charged and 2 borrowed from people at work.
That's really weird.... And none of the led come on at all? Really weird, it's not a brick issue because it would give some symptoms but it's like it's not getting power at all. It could just be a major hardware failure. The power button is defective on the S3 but it usually makes an attempt to turn on.

With the light on and after reinserting the battery the light goes back out after a few seconds.
It really sounds like it flashed an International rom from those symptoms. But you said it turned on after the flash.

It flashed whatever rom was downloaded from the phone info screen. But yeh, it booted up, updated apps, and made it to the home screen after the update.
Sorry wish I could be more insightful, but I think your going to have to take it in to Sprint

NP, thanks for trying to help though.
Could it be that CM might have messed somthing up? I would ask them for help or tell them to look in to things.

I've posted in the CM10.1 thread, I'm not sure if Ive heard anything from anyone on the CM team though. I guess it's possible they messed something up, but I havent seen anyone else with this issue and CM, so I'm guessing the issue is on my end.
I would let the phone sit on the charger and try to boot into recovery and try to flash a tw rom. If you haven't tried that already its worth a shot.

It's doesn't power up at all regardless of how long it charges, he tried different batteries and bought a new one also. How would he be able to flash or even get into recovery if it doesn't power on?

Oh yeah forget it. It's not a power issue it's bricked. That's exactly what they say when they are bricked by flashing international roms. Jtag is your only option.
Try this can't hurt, this guy claims he revived a phone which was hard bricked. The method has not been confirmed but you have nothing to loose http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43305728
