Phone will not charge!!

I am having a real problem here whenever i plug my phone into my wall socket or computer it will charge for about 5 seconds then say battery disconnected. I am on phantom hackers blazer rom v 3.7 and this just started happening yesterday when i installed 2 mods a battery icon and social hub. I restored because i thought it was one of the files but i still cant charge. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Anyone? I thought it may have been a software issue so I did a full data wipe, wiped everything and installed calkulins 2.8 and it is still doing it. Now sometimes it wont even recognize the battery when I try to charge it when the phone is off. Do you guys think its a failing battery or the phone? I should also not that the phone has always been extremely sensitive like if it I hit it by accident or drop it from even a couple inches it will reboot.

Night want to take it to sprint if it has always had issues

Well if you do have insurance they will charge you, but what you might want to tty is using a different charger.. my charger broke the other day (it wasn't charging my phone ) and i grabbed my old HTC charger. Hope this helps..

Ya I flashed it back to stock it is still messed up. Anyone think it might just need a new battery?

I mean, try the charger and then the battery. If you don't have a battery arrouns you, go to sprint and ask them if you can see if you're battery is messed up. They will more than likely give you one for free

Ya I dont but I am taking it back to sprint later today to see what is going on. I am pretty sure it is either the battery or a loose connection somewhere in the phone because like I said in my earlier post this thing has always been extremely sensitive like if I accidentally put it down hard or anything it will reboot. Also like I said in my other thread it likes to reboot randomly when just in my pocket too. I also noticed whenever I try to run titanium backup it reboots 99% of the time before it finishes.

Well the thing is I can transfer stuff flawlessly on it. I took it to the sprint store the guy played with it for 2 hours and told me there is absoluetly nothing wrong with it so I dont know what to think. It has been running good ever since I got it back. I knew that would happen though as soon as ya bring something in to get it fixed it works flawlessly! The guy gave me a new charger idk I did try numerous chargers and they all said battery disconnected but this one actually does seem to be working so we will see what happens.

"Turning Wi-Fi on..." continuously displaying

Hi all,
I know this seems to be a wide spread problem and I've read through several threads hoping to fix the problem but nothing seems to be really working for me :/
This first happened while I was running 4.0.3. Wifi was working fine. Then one day when I went to switch it on like I normally ever would, it seemed to get stuck at the "Turning Wi-Fi on..." message. Reboots didn't help anything.
So I decided to upgrade to 4.1.1 thinking that doing a factory reset and flashing a new ROM would fix things. Flashed Paranoid Android ROM with no problems (wiped data, dalvik cache, etc etc) and saw the same problem with wifi when I tried turning it on. Reboot did nothing. Tried flashing the boot.img manually and that did nothing. Tried flashing Trinity kernel and once again nothing.
Can anyone help me out? This is really killing me and I think it's also destroying my phone's battery life as well
My Galaxy Nexus is GSM yakju if that helps out at all.
Thanks!!

This was also my problem... except my phone rebooted every 2minutes... I just flashed stock everything and then sent it to Samsung

Bump.
So any other suggestions other than dead wifi chip?

Unfortunately, your phones WiFi chip is dust! Same thing happened to me! Did some research and found out that its a known issue! Sent mine in and received a new Gnex four days later!

How does this work exactly? Do you need a receipt or anything? I'm guessing I need to flash back to stock rom and unroot? And probably call or talk to Samsung to get it set up? Any other details I'm missing?
Thanks!

Just call Samsung.
Or Verizon/Sprint if your a CDMA variant.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^

My friend is having the exact issue. He has had the phone for less than 2 weeks. Hes also having a hard time getting help from Samsang. Did you guys just call Samsung? Or go through Google?

Well for me, I bought GNEX from someone else and I had to ask the guy to give me the receipt cuz Samsung wouldn't take it unless I show proof that the phone was from Canada (I live in canada)
Also I would recommend flashing to stock uprooting and re locking... Just in case

Well I guess you have to contact your friend. Also, if you can't get a support from Samsung (I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't help you...) I guess you have to go to any repair shop, since it looks like a hardware problem.

To make sure, you have it disconnected and it's giving this error?
Maybe something on the MicroUSB leads that makes it think it's still charging?

[Q] [HELP] Not sure what happened...

Hello all...
I typically charge my phone while I sleep and it has never been a problem. I was running the stock deodexed ICS rom on my phone at the time. i unplugged it and all was well as usual. i grabbed my phone to come put a JB rom on it this morning and i left it on my desk, not plugged in. I came back to it and it was HOT, the entire phone, and wouldn't do anything. I took out the battery and let it cool (phone and battery) and now I got nothing.
Is there anything I can do??? I tried to search but couldn't find anything on this...
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

See if you can get into download mode or recovery. But let it cool for awhile.

agreed, hardware issue

Thanks for the replies guys. I am looking for a bit of advice from the mobile tech guys for a concern I have...
I was wondering if Samsung has the same stuff they do.... T-mobile is sending me a warranty swap.... I don't want to get a bill about the phone....

my phone once was doing that same thing when it was just sitting there on the table. I picked it up though and felt it was very hot and pulled the battery before it could fry itself. It probably was some code that was looping or something because my phone never did it again

it's dead Jim!

I will try to make this as short as possible. I got my vzw galaxy nexus used on eBay 3 months ago. I loved it like it was my second child. A week ago I noticed the radio was not showing a signal or a very weak one, sometimes but it always worked. Until last night, It wouldn't register a signal so I rebooted it. It started to boot loop, never getting past the nexus logo. It was unlocked, rooted, but running stock jdq39. I left the battery out for an hour and it did boot to the lock screen. I would unlock then it would reboot again by itself. I then went down the road of trying to flash stock images, radios, and even cm10. All the stock images failed on flashing CDMA-radio. Cm10 came up but it started boot looping again, baseband was unknown as well as other info under status. As a last resort I tried to Odin 4.0.2 it failed at the very end trying to write (wait for it) CDMA-radio. Now it only boots to a yellow triangle with a phone and computer image on either side. I an not missing anything stupid right? The CDMA radio must be toast.

Probably. Fastboot also fails?

It certainly sounds like a part of the hardware in the radio has been going bad. Is there any warranty left on it? Not sure if they're transferable since you bought it on eBay, but it's worth a shot to at least ask, either at your store or Samsung. The only other random things you might try is taking the LTE sim out and if you have access a different battery? Since it's failing on CDMA, the sim shouldn't have any effect, but since it's dead, it's worth a shot. Same for the battery. But yeah, sounds dead.

Yeah I can't even get into the boot loader anymore. So adb and fast boot don't work, but Odin still connects and can flash, just gets stuck at the cdma-radio.

I tried flashing with and without the sim. I just got the extended battery too, and also tried with both. Will check on warranty. If not it will be sold for parts on eBay. Case and screen are in perfect shape.

Thanks! It was absolutely the cdma radio that died. The replacement came with CM10.1 RC4 but decided to flash it back to jdq39 stock. It flashed without problem using the same USB cable, computer and drivers. It seemed like hours when I flashed the cdma radio but in reality it only took a few minutes, but was very relived when it finished successfully. I figure I am just going to keep the other parts in case I need them.
