Long story short the micro USB port on my Nexus is shot and I can't find a new board to replace it anywhere. Anyone know where I can find one?

eBay? Google it? They're getting em somewhere... they being all the people with this issue.
You might try sticking like a screwdriver in the port and straightening the pins out (with the phone off and battery out!). I read that may work. I actually read it here... Search here?

So has anyone seen a wireless charging solution yet? Either comercial or hacked.
I fried my EVO 4G charging circuit last time I tried (too hot soldering iron) thinking might try external micro usb connection this time unless someone is going to make a comercial option.
Was also wondering about NFC if I did put an inductive loop on the back side of the phone.
I've been wondering the same. Thinking of trying one
of the Duracell mygrid clips, with any luck it will fit and be hidden by my case.

They have juice packs at Tmobil, 59.00. It's like a built in extra battery

I read that Samsung is developing these.
I had posted this earlier on and they said that they did it but was unable to post any pix so here's a copy of what I had posted good luck and please post pix if you do so.

well hell.....this thread has been dead for a while.......anyhoo i was luckly enough to stumble accross a palm pre back cover @ my local radio shack today that was clearenced out for $.97, being since this was going no where soon i decided to purchase it. I placed the coil into my phone and it was a little thicker especally since i have the nexus extended battery in my phone allready. Currently it is held with a small a small peice of electrical tape holding down the right side but other than that it seems to hold together rather well.....and YES I WILL POST PICS but what i dont know is if it messes with the NFC coil.. and i still have yet to aquire the actual touch stone
My Verizon Galaxy Nexus charges intermittently. When it is plugged in, it will charge if it is in a certain way. The cable feels loose, It will tilt from side to side and it doesn't seem sturdy. It is most of the cables I use. I have one that doesn't do this, but it doesn't charge fast enough. These cables work in family members phones without problem. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

You either have a borked usb port or it is dirty.
My SGS2 did the same thing. Cleaned the port and all was well.

I've had the same issue on multiple phones. Best advice I can give is to stick with the cable that works for it unless you want to replace the USB port on the phone.

How do I clean it?

It's quite difficult while the phone is still assembled, but some of your options include a dry toothbrush, air duster, or the most extreme option - contact cleaner.
If you don't have any luck with these, the module containing the USB port can be replaced at a reasonable cost if you're comfortable disassembling the phone yourself.
MOD EDIT: Read the forum rules
Buy one and fix it.

Fix it. How? Its soldered onto the mainboard
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It only has six points of contact and would be fairly easy for someone skilled with a soldering iron. If it isn't your forte, you could probably find a local electronics shop that would do it for you for a reasonable fee.
Hey man..I read your post and I have my old nexus..it is missing the battery door and the back is scratched but screen is 10 out of 10.. I would post it to sell but I do not believe I am able to sell on here I would let it go for like 50 bucks or 40 even..

Dude, trust me Its very hard even for experienced technicians
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It is relatively hard if you don't know what you are doing. Need an disassembly guide. A hot air gun and a soldering station.
Oh and some flux.

yeahh I sent it in for repair and they said they could not repair it....then on top of that my note2 got stolen Friday. I'm using a old windows phone 7....its killing me
I had mine apart last night to do the USB port repair (replace the whole ribbon) and looked at the sim slot while it was apart. I am no expert, but I have replaced surface mount chips before that are much more difficult then what this repair would be. A fine tip temp control iron, some desolder braid (along with solder and flux), and it is pretty straight forward. Wouldn't need to take it apart any further then just removing the back.
If you end up wanting to get rid of it for savagehax offer, I would be interested in yours, that being it would be missing a battery back and have a defective sim slot.
Speaking of which, are you sure the sim slot is the defective piece? It'd be worth it to put a meter on there and measure continuity between the pins and solder points.
Good luck with whatever you end up doing.
I had a sim adapter in it and when I pulled it out I guess it rip some pins.....cell phone repair pros told me they could repair it they put in a new sim reader and all...

Just today my phone decided not to charge anymore. So I decided to boot it up with it plugged in and it gave the illusion it was charging. However when I unplugged it the charging symbol stayed. Just recently it now flutters between charding and discharging which is destroying my battery. Does anyone have any advice?

Clean the usb port.

I had that happen once and it was the cable. I think one of the wires in the cable had flexed just a little too much. Picked up a new cable and I was back in business. Might be a thought...

He is talking about your USB cable. If changing to a different cable doesn't help then I'm guessing your charging board is going bad (the board that controls the charging of your battery). There have been a lot if topics around about that, so do a little search and see what advice others with the same problem have done.

My phone's charging port is on its last leg. I figured it would be easiest just to purchase a new motherboard. Would this mobo need to be a t999 mobo or can it be att/international

You dont have to replace the motherboard cause as I think its not all together just replace the charging port
Here's the part on amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0093FHMZE/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_SuC2sb1JNC4S9

The s3 requires a rigorous soldering job to replace it unlike the s2
here is a picture of the mobo which you can see it's not just changing a section connected by a ribbon connector. http://www.chip.de/ii/1/5/5/9/3/6/3/5/PQinrlrkqrr1esWL.huge-21422e15d86d3627.jpg
I just ordered a wireless charging kit and will charge my phone using that and transferring data will have to be done wireless. If I absolutely need a chord I can hold it secure with a rubber band lol.
This is how you would take apart you galaxy SIII, the att and tmobile are identical inside so this would be the same process, in case you're not too sure on how to take apart your SIII
