My new Nexus and it's charger have had a falling out:
My charger won't charge my phone, but charges other people's phones. And other people's chargers charge my phone!!?
What's really weird is that my charger charges my phone when it's switched off but I've done a data wipe and it still won't work once the phone is powered on, so my question is:
What the motherf*ck?
Anyone seen this before?
I rooted, clockworked and installed paul obrien's customised ROM with the volume fix and extra menu and search buttons. And my phone was fine. I've got other chargers knocking around, although they're not the same. Should I be worried?

Please dont bump threads especially after such a short time its considered spam and can end up with the thread being closed.
What charger are you using to try and charge your Nexus? Mains or usb? I only got a usb cable in my box and they are pretty much just standard micro usb cables. You should also be able to use any 5V mains to usb converter which you plug the usb cable into to charge your device so as long as you can find some combination that works then I wouldnt worry too much about it.
However if you are concerned then send the phone back for a replacement while you are able to.
Mark.
You'd think the first place you'd go to would be Google or Samsung. Why wouldn't you give them a call first?
I have found that some of the lower power (1 amp or less) chargers are having trouble with the larger phones with bigger batteries. Interestingly, my old SGS2 desktop cradle/charger wouldn't charge the SGN (which fits into the charger - sticks out a bit but the phone sits on the mini-USB fine) with the charger that came with the desktop cradle. I replaced it with the higher powered (10W?) usb charger that came with my ipad2 and, lo & behold, the phone will charge.
Not sure if this helps or not but I've discovered that not all chargers are created equal.
Yea, some of the higher powered phones/tablets won't charge over the lower power chargers... hence why tablets won't charge over a PC-USB connection.
Sounds like the charger is faulty... unless nothing charges the phone.

Thanks for that stellar advice, and if the issue hadn't followed rooting and rom-ing my phone and hence invalidating my warranty, and not occurring prior to the fact, then maybe I would've. And just for the record, have you ever called Google regarding an issue with your phone?

Sorry, if I wasn't clear (and for spamming the forum?) but I got a UK SGN via phones4u on o2 and I received in the box a USB cable and an AC wall charger with a USB socket on it.
I don't think you guys are getting how weird this is:
If I connect my Nexus to a PC with the USB cable that came with it, it doesn't charge.
If I connect the USB to the supplied AC wall adapter and plug it into my phone it doesn't charge.
If I connect anyone else's smartphone phone to my Nexus charger, be it just USB cable or with AC it charges.
And if I connect anyone else's USB cable and/or charger to my phone it charges!?
My phone will charge from the supplied kit only when it is powered off, hence a software issue and not a hardware issue which is why I didn't call Samsung.
I've done a factory reset, I've restored to backups made prior to the issue occurring. I haven't admittedly done the full unroot and stock restore as yet and would rather not. I just wondered if anyone else here had experienced weirdness with the supplied charger?
Many thanks guys, sorry for the sarcasm earlier, it's just that I'm not lazy, I read and read up on things before posting questions. And I've posted very few questions on XDA since I registered here after buying my Milestone. I'm only posting in the general discussion thread so didn't think it'd be a big deal if I bumped this. The reason I did is I only have a limited time before I no longer qualify for a hardware replacement from the supplier if I claim it faulty. (which I kinda don't think it is)

Bumping this thread since I'm having almost the exact same problem and found this thread after searching. How did you solve it?
My situation is like this:
If I connect my Nexus to a PC with the USB cable that came with it, it does charge.
If I connect the USB to the supplied AC wall adapter and plug it into my phone it doesn't charge.
If I connect anyone else's smartphone phone to my Nexus charger, be it just USB cable or with AC it charges.
And if I connect anyone else's USB cable and/or charger to my phone it charges!?
My phone will not charge from the supplied kit when it is powered off.
Feels very wierd, the other two chargers I have tried were a 700mA ZTE Blade charger and a 2A Asus Transformer charger, both are charging my Nexus perfectly fine.
I love my galaxy nexus(verizon version) however there is something about it that drives me insane, and it is a fact that has been noted on almost all android phones, when plugged in the battery can die, this commonly happens to me when i am trying to use navigation, i will be on my way to someplace where i have no idea where i am, or where i am going and just when i need it most, the phone, that is plugged in WILL ****ING DIE, and i will have to stop on the side of the road and charge it for twenty minutes or drive twenty minutes in the wrong ****ing direction, conveniently, since it is my phone that was doing the navigation, i also cant call anyone for directions, this, to me personally, seems ****ING INSANE, now it is my understanding that the charging rate for the phone when plugged into what the phone percieves to be an ac adapter is capped at 800ma, and 500ma when it is plugged into a usb source, regardless of the output of the charger, it will charge at a rate of no higher than this, presumably these caps were put in place to keep the battery from blowing up, or the phone from overheating, my question is, can these caps be changed or are they hardware caps? i dont care if my phone blows up im willing to assume the risk because it is likely that if it does this **** again ill get out of the car on the ****ing highway and spike it into the ground like i just scored a ****ing touchdown, i know that the usb rate can be changed to the ac rate through the usb fast charge mod, however this simply(in my understanding) tricks the phone into thinking that it is always plugged into an ac adapter, and therefore it is stlll limited to the 800 cap, this also means that the phone can not be used through any usb interfaces while this is occuring, which in my situation is a problem because i use a usb stereo in my car that reads the songs off my phone(grom android adapter very good btw), so my longwinded question is can the caps for the usb charging rate be raised to say 1200ma without loosing usb acess? and if that not possible, can the ac cap at least be raised to say 1200(speculative number just needs to be more than the max draw of the phone)? anyway thanks for reading my rant and putting up with my ****ty internet grammar

You're stuck with 500mA if its coming from the USB port in your car (which charges like a PC usually). And if you go to "fast charge", you'll lose USB file access, yes.
Your only choice is to choose to go with a "fast charge" kernel and lose USB file access, or get a 2A car charger that'll keep it topped up. Less satisfactory but an option is to turn off LTE, which is a huge battery drain.

that what i mean i have a 2a car charger, it still dies, theres a cap on that charging rate as i understand it, 800mah, can that be adjusted?
i believe on a non samsung charger you are capped at 500ma
but if you use a fast charge kernel i don't think it is limited to 800ma
well
I had the simiar situation. well, LTE drains the battery like a hell, and USB charges freaking amazingly slow...
I solved that by using custom kernel that supports fast charge, and did it..
but if u use the fast charge, you will lose the USB link option, oh well,
U can turn the fast charge off to use the USB.
sucks that you can't have both rabbits.
Charge rate
My battery life sucks any Ideas
Ya my battery dies when I use the car charger. Ur best solution is buy another for just the car.
--------------------------------------------------
If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
nobody directly answered the question, is the non-usb charging cap hardware based or software based? can somebody who understands the kernels answer it?
Easy trick is to turn off the screen if your battery is low, you'll still get audible navigation.
Doesn't matter if the charging cap is software or hardware based, no one has gone above it anyway.
Cool story bro.
I like the part when you said ****ing

Dude, putting it at 1200 Mah is impossible because of heat issues and also I don't even think that's supported by any kernel. Sorry.

Where are you guys seeing 800 mA charge rate?
I was going to ask the same question but will post here instead.
Can someone confirm the 800 ma charging cap ? Where is this info found ?
I had a different android phone ( cannt remember which ) and had found in its forums some kernel code someone posted with a 700ma cap for that phone. I will try to search for that reference.
So basically anything over 800ma is overkill and we will not benefit from it ? Is that correct ... includes wall chargers and car chargers....

The charging amp branded on the chargers only tells you how much the internals of the charger can endure.
It is the phone itself that controls how big amp it will receive (usually 500mA or 1000mA). So you could have a 50 A charger and still only pull out 1000mA.
The limitation to 1A is of the spec that USB standard have.

These guys have it. I used to suffer a slight drain even when plugged in via USB if I was gaming, but then I cahnged to Trinity kernel and now I just turn on USB fast charge if I'm charging from the computer while gaming heavily. Don't need USB file transfers while I'm playing.... and I presume you don't need it while you're driving either. Just flash a custom kernel, problem solved.
Hello,
I have seen posts like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189978 but i would like to clarify if the GN-5110 does not allow to charge via USB
Battery shows up a Lightning and a Red Cross whenever i plug it in to the USB, the thing is that it is able to read/write data to device and charges (slowly but i guess that is because of the 2 amp is not fulfilled by the USB port)
Is this normal within the 5110? I have been using the Original Charger and the Original USB Cable
Thank you and sorry if it was a duplicated thread!

nope...nothing wrong with it...it's standard if you're rooted or not....
a USB plug via computer doesn't provide enough amps to fully charge it...Even though the red cross is there and you leave your tablet off, it will charge slowly
I would suggest trying out galaxy charging current from the appstore...you can monitor how many amps are being delivered depending on your charging methods

That's basically it. Hard to find an answer in Google on this one. I have this y cable that has the female micro usb for power connected to the female usb connector as if it's for powering the usb device, not the phone, tho I've read reviews on the cable by people claiming it charges the phone, but some phones need some mystery kernal I never quite found. I'm lost. Anyone know?
Wrong forum, you should ask this in Q&A.
Is there no one in on God's earth connected to his internet that knows the answer to this question, or even just wants to know the answer? There's got to be others out there who want to use this phone with usb peripherals long enough to drain this insufficiently tiny battery.

Maybe you should pray for an answer.
And insufficient tiny battery?
The M8 is one of the best when it comes to battery life.
So what's your advice on otg? Don't you connect stuff to your phone and wonder how nice it would be if you could do it to your heart's desire rather than til the battery gets low? Battery life may be good for you but I'm a "power user" son.

Hi there everyone,
I have been trying to get my Nexus 7 2013 installed into my car seamlessly without problems since December 2015. I have Timur's Kernel v4 (6.0.1) running on it, and it was working flawlessly.
However, I decided that the no battery mod needed to be done as I just could not leave that battery inside a hot car - way too risky.
So, I did the Kevdav no battery mod - with success.
However, once the battery connection was receiving 5v via a usb car charger the OTG cable connected to the tablet's mini usb port would not wake/suspend the tablet properly. It would wake it up, but once it was awake the little battery icon at the top would forever show that it was 'charging' and once power was cut to the otg y cable / mini usb, it would not suspend (would still show as charging).
I did research, and bought a Drok DC-DC step down converter. I lowered the voltage to the battery mod connection to 3.7v (and tested up to 4.7v) and this alleviated the problem of suspend/wake. I think since the original battery gave out less voltage then the otg/charging connection, this needed to be replicated in order for the otg to work.
However, I now have a new problem that I cannot seem to fix. This problem only seems to happen in the car and does not occur when testing it in the house using normal wall chargers.
For clarity, this is how everything is wired up in the car.
Nexus 7 battery mod side of things:
Nexus 7 battery terminals > 22awg usb cable > drok dc dc step down power supply (this board has a female usb port for output) set at 3.7v (tested up to 4.7v) > input is connected to car's constant 12v connected directly to battery on a fused wire.
Nexus 7 mini usb port side of things:
Nexus 7 mini usb port > usb otg y cable > mini usb cable > 2.4a usb car cig adapter hardwired to car's switched 12v accessory wire.
The link to the drok dc dc step down is this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01FDBY66Y/ref=twister_B01GO268W6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I turn on acc ignition to send power to the otg connection. It'll power up. However, if left in standby overnight the tablet won't power up. If I physically press the tablet's power button it'll wake up, show the wake up animation, and react as normal (including any subsequent power downs). However, if I don't press the power button and I turn off the ign again, an icon on my car's instrument cluster will be faintly illuminated - this is odd behaviour and should be completely out. When this is the case, if I get out and try to lock the car the remote central locking doesn't work.
This light will go out if I physically disconnect the otg y cable from the tablet, and low and behold the remote central locking works.
I'm no expert on electronics and such, but it seems to me that power may be flooding back into the OTG connection from the no battery mod power?
Does this make sense? Sorry for the long question, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with troubleshooting or any advice? I've this one problem and then I'm set but I just can't seem to figure anything out and need someone's advice who is in the know rather than take wild stabs in the dark using my own logic because if I do the latter, not only will I waste money on needless components but I'll more than likely break something. I've read stuff about diodes or something in order to regulate power flow but I'm not even sure I'm using the correct terminology here so if anyone can tell me I'm onto something here or I'm talking complete nonsense then anything is appreciated!
I did search these forums and google but I really cannot find anything that is similar to my problem.
Thanks for any input guys, whether it be any tips on what I'm missing or what I need to change (software or hardware, electrical, etc) - it's all very much appreciated.
Antony
Edit: so sorry I think I posted this is the wrong n7 2013 sub section. I can't delete the post but if a mod could please kindly move it to the relevant forum I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi, indeed, and your "2.4a usb car cig adapter hardwired to car's switched 12v accessory wire" requires a small mod to prevent the power feedback. It needs an extra 1A+ diode connected directly to 12V input. You could modify the adapter's PCB or simply replace the fuse's internal wire with a diode where its cathode goes to the spring and its anode to 12V input. Or just place the diode somewhere along the adapter's hardwire. $0.16 1N4001 is good enough ([email protected] is OK for [email protected]).
Not sure if thread is still active but I also have the same symptom with tablet turning off completely overnight. I am running constant 12v to 3.7v dc to dc on battery input and car adapter 12v to 5v on microusb cable in. Tablet will work fine with on and off but after car is shutdown for the night it will not turn on in the morning. It shows me battery charge icon only. I dont have diode installed either. Not sure if thats the cause. Anyone know why it would completly shutdown overnight?

Hi there,
Been a while since I posted on this thread but just wanted to update on what I have done so far.
Since my last post, I don't have any issues. I placed a diode as mentioned above on the +12v for the accessory power. This seemed to have fixed any back flow of power.
Concerning the power off over night, I'm pretty sure this was something to do with Timur's kernel. I forever had issues with that thing - eg, suspect and wake issues, accessories connected to my usb hub..
I switched to a stock version of android 6.0.1 - MOB30X if memory serves... and installed Elemental X version 5.16. No issues with this setup what so ever.
Huh.
I run my Nexus 7 on my car with the battery, mounted just above the dashboard, with direct sunlight exposition and no UV film on the windshield. It's been a whole year without issues, thank God.
https://i.imgur.com/cPNhDDc.jpg
I live in the Northeast of Brazil, where's 30C to 40C through the year. Sometimes I come up to the car and the tablet shut off due to the heat.
Battery still lasts wonders and there's no signs of damage.. yet.
Is it really adamant to remove the battery, or is it just a precautionary measure?

You better have more luck.
My nexus was put under the dash and was fine for around 3 years. And it became expanded in just 2 days, separating the screen and the case. So I have urgently remove the battery.
